Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Job of Death

The pace of life of the people in Tiandu is not slow, the busy crowd runs through the endless streets, the hustle and bustle on the viaduct is permeated in the scorching midday sun, the skyscrapers cut the sky, reflected into the dark corners, the intersection with the green light on, the crowd hurriedly strange eyebrows, with their own inner thoughts, desires, emotions, passing each other when they know nothing.

Today's social service industry can be said to be each seeking what it needs, and when it comes to interests, there will always be an unexpected ending. When a red DVC coupe stopped on the sidewalk, it had already caused quite a stir, and the focus was gathered, a young man linked to fashion, with a delicate appearance and a cynical mentality between his eyebrows. The woman wearing sunglasses in the passenger seat did not get out of the car, and her gorgeous white dress could not be hidden behind the sunshade window. The man walked briskly into the business hall in front of him with a neutral YZ long wallet, ignoring the strange stares of others, with envy and favor in it, which made him feel proud. On the sixteenth floor, when the elevator arrived, as soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw four big characters engraved on the wall, intermediary service.

"Lao Zhou, can you introduce a reliable person to me next time, do you know how much money I lost because of last night's closure?" The person on the other end of the phone was in a violent mood, and he had already been severely criticized by the regional director, deducting the bonus of the month, so he had to vent.

"Hey, someone else must be in a hurry." The middle-aged man sitting in the rocking chair, wearing wood-framed glasses and very trendy pigtails, looked several years younger than his actual age, he took a sip of green tea and said indifferently: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll find you another person." But then, with a gloomy expression, he scolded in his heart, just your store manager position, a small convenience store, how much money has you lost! I'm not ashamed.

"Just find an ordinary person." The voice on the phone yelled hurriedly: "Find an ordinary-looking person who is down-to-earth and a shopkeeper!" Don't look for someone like before, otherwise, I won't pay the agency fee! ”

This middle-aged man named Zhou Hua is the executive manager of this intermediary service company, and his company is a big step ahead of his peers in terms of talent and market share. "Hey, when you were in college, you still can't change your style of doing things, don't worry, I'll find you a satisfactory one this time." He put the teacup back on the table and lay on his back, it was close to his lunch break. "By the way, have you paid his salary?" Zhou Hua glanced at the portrait of the man on the computer screen who had gone through vicissitudes and was very attractive, and two words were displayed next to it: Mu Yu.

"What a knot, don't think! It's so bad that my bonus is gone this month! Before the angry words fell, the phone hung up heavily.

Zhou Hua threw his mobile phone aside and picked up the landline phone. "Hey, Xiaomi, help my bastard classmate find another store clerk who works the night shift."

"Okay, Brother Xiao Zhou, hehe......" The other party burst out laughing.

"Wait, work overtime tonight, go out to a meeting with me."

"Okay, then I'll send a text message to my husband first."

Zhou Hua was in a good mood, looking at the text message sent by his wife on the mobile phone screen (husband, I won't come back tonight, my daughter is about to take the college entrance examination, she has a rare vacation, I plan to take her out to relax, this pre-exam anxiety is quite serious. Later, under the nickname of Old Zhou, Zhou Hua booked a room at a love hotel in the economic zone, where he was already a regular visitor.

The staff at the front desk, seeing the arrival of the young man, immediately said respectfully: "Welcome, thoughtful service." The shy girl was a little nervous, and the brand-name wallet in the man's hand was worth most of her salary.

"I'm looking for two, guide?" The young man shook his head thoughtfully and said, "It's not a guide, it's just that for the next week, I will be with our entire team and do some carrying or guarding work." ”

"Do you have any special requirements for applicants?" The girl recorded the information provided by the other party in her notebook, with a serious expression.

"Special requests?" The young man took off the sunglasses hanging on his chest, put his left hand on the front desk, and stared directly at her chest with a provocative look. "If you can provide a special service, then I don't ask for anything."

"Hello, I'm the director here, can I help if there's anything I can do to help?" A middle-aged woman smiled indifferently, she appeared behind the young man, the expression of the girl at the front desk was extremely embarrassed, she was very grateful to the rescue of the sister in charge, in fact, this little girl had just gone to work, she had no social experience, and her innocent attitude attracted everyone's appreciation and help.

The young man put away his expression, and silently glanced at the badge on the chest of the middle-aged woman, the director of operations, Wang Xiaohong. Then he swaggered in, his voice deep and proud. "I need two chaperones, preferably male, preferably if a veteran, with strong self-care skills. The working time is one week, and as for the remuneration ......" Almost all the people in the company put down their work and looked at the young man, he turned to the middle-aged woman Wang Xiaohong and said in a deep voice: "As for the remuneration, I will pay you one million, no matter how much you pay the applicants, I will not ask." But I can say that the job is dangerous, and we will sign a contract with the applicant, which basically means that we have nothing to do with the accident. ”

"Wow?" Wang Xiaohong was silent for a moment before she came back to her senses, and she smiled colorlessly: "In a week, a person's salary of 500,000 yuan is really a big temptation." She glanced at the colleagues who were all standing up in the corner, and continued to ask, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask you exactly what kind of work it is, you must know that this pay is very attractive, and I must be eager to try it out of the way of my colleagues there, including me." ”

The young man walked into the middle of the room, consciously or unconsciously, and he stared at a woman in professional attire, his attention was focused on her hot figure, but then he remembered the serious matter of coming here, and sat down in front of her, at the desk, no more than half a meter away from the girl. A faint fragrance mixed with her unbearable passion, this teasing look was seen by a male colleague next to her, and the anger in his heart turned straight to the youth, after all, he had been pursuing the female colleague for a long time, and had a few nights of intimate emotional contact, although he knew that the other party was just using himself as a tool to vent his desires.

"Let's put it this way, we are a group of investigation enthusiasts, investigating some things and things that ordinary people dare not find or are difficult to involve, and photographing and recording rare clues or little-known secrets as a condition in exchange for the boss in need. As for our sponsors, it may not be convenient to disclose, but you don't need to know these things. "The young man's face is full of pride, he attracts the opposite sex not only because of his handsome appearance, but also because he can even show his own background in the tone of his speech, and his background is strong." This time, we chose Tiandu as the reserve point because it is only a two-day trip from Honghu Lake, and it is ......"

"Honghu!" Before the young man could finish speaking, a middle-aged man with glasses stood in front of the innermost desk on the windowsill and exclaimed, before that, he planned to fight for this so-called tour guide himself, and once he got the money, he would quit the job. But as soon as he heard the word Honghu, he completely poured cold water on his brain. Immediately afterwards, the crowd began to disagree, and they talked in private, without seeing the youth in front of them as the focus anymore.

"Honghu? Honghu on the other side of Kennel Town? ”

"yes, that's it! Do you know what's going on there? When I was a child, I heard my elders mention that all the people in that town were dead. ”

"Hmph, what are you guys, when I was in high school, there was still about a month before graduation, and it was about this time period that someone in the class proposed to go to Kennel Town to explore before the college entrance examination to release the pressure, but it turned out that the tomb where they are now buried is still just a coffin!"

"Oh my God, are there no bones? It's horrible! ”

"Is Honghu on the west side of Kennel Town?"

"Yes, if you want to go to Honghu, you have to go through Kennel Town, I read from a magazine a long time ago, in that weird lake, not to mention a fish, not even a single aquatic plant."

"Forget it...... For the sake of 500,000, don't even want your life? Who would be stupid enough to do that? ”

"Don't say it, maybe someone will do this, now that it's a good mouth, maybe you will turn around and take a private order."

"What do you mean, who do you say?"

“…………”

In the "......" crowd, the gossiping people were in an uproar, and even Lao Zhou in the office came out to join in the fun, he looked at the impatient youth in the middle of the field, and still remained silent.

"Hey, hey!" The young man shouted a few times, slammed the wallet in his hand on the desk, and snapped! Suddenly, the messy scene came to an abrupt end. "I know what kind of place it is, I don't need you to discuss it here, seven days, 500,000 rewards, do you really think that pie will fall from the sky?" The young man glanced at the silent crowd on the field, with a solemn expression, and continued: "Our team can be said to be unparalleled, with the most comprehensive protection and exploration equipment, and the danger is not worth mentioning here. What's more, we have had more terrifying and continuing dangerous experiences, and only these experiences are the most important, look at the timid expressions on your faces, and I don't tell you to go! ”

Everyone present hesitated, but this didn't change anything, the threat of death was enough to outweigh the interests of the 500,000, and if you considered adding another single digit, I am afraid the result would be different. "First, sir." Wang Xiaohong stepped forward and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, please forgive us for our previous doubts, but those who do this line of work must also feedback the most detailed actual situation of the work to the applicants, and the intermediary services are on both sides." The woman laughed awkwardly, and she paused for a moment before speaking: "Excuse me, where is this job...... Is it ......" She almost held her breath, stared at the young man, and the next sentence she mentioned was extremely disgusted by everyone from the bottom of their hearts. "The place of work is in Honghu, Zhong, Yang, ...... Dead, dead, island? ”
