Chapter Seventy-One: The Bearded Man Returns
I rushed out of the toilet and immediately shouted, but as soon as I shouted for the first time, I felt a heavy blow to the back of my head, and my eyes were dark, and I didn't know anything.
When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed in the dormitory, it was already dawn outside, I felt my head was groggy, and the back of my head was still aching.
Suddenly remembering what happened last night, I quickly jumped out of bed and rushed all the way to Wu Peng's office.
"Angkor, something is wrong!"
I didn't even bother to knock on the door, I rushed in and shouted at Wu Peng.
Wu Peng was drinking tea and reading the newspaper leisurely, when he saw me running in in a hurry, and hurriedly asked me what happened.
"Bearded ...... He's dead! ”
I was nervous and even stammered a little when I spoke, Wu Peng poured me a glass of water, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”
I took a sip of water, and then told Wu Peng what happened last night.
After Wu Peng heard this, he showed a strange expression, and actually smiled at me, "Xiao Zhang, I said that your brain is fine, what are you kidding here early in the morning." ”
I was anxious and said that I was not joking, if you don't believe me, you can go to the toilet and have a look, maybe the bearded corpse is still there.
Wu Peng looked at me and said, "You said that he hanged himself in the toilet last night and attacked you with a corpse?" ”
I nodded, "That's right, when I saw him, he was already stiff, and finally cheated on the corpse and almost gave me ......"
"Wait!" Wu Peng interrupted me, "But the bearded man came back this morning to get something, and many people in the company saw it, and he came to my office to sit for a while." ”
"What!"
I couldn't believe my ears, looking at Wu Peng's appearance, it didn't look like he was lying to me, but I obviously ...... last night
With a stomach full of doubts, I turned around and ran out, ran straight to the toilet to take a look, and found that there was no trace in the toilet, as if nothing had happened.
Wu Peng also came in and asked me where I saw the bearded man hanging yesterday.
I opened the cubicle and pointed inside, "He hung here last night." ”
Wu Peng looked inside, and immediately laughed, "Xiao Zhang, I think you are tired, how can you hang people here?" ”
I looked inside again and saw that the top of the compartment was bare, and there was no place to tie a rope, let alone hang a man.
And I had a fierce fight with the bearded man yesterday, so it stands to reason that there should be some traces, but I didn't find anything here.
I touched my head, could it be that last night was another dream of mine?
But it's not right, if it's a dream, how can I have a big bag on my head, and I still have a faint pain.
I suddenly thought of something, hurriedly said hello to Wu Peng, and rushed to the hospital.
After some examination in the hospital, I said that it didn't hurt my brain, but just skin trauma, and I just took some medicine and rested for a few days.
I asked, what is this?
The doctor said you don't know?
I casually made an excuse and said a perfunctory word, and then I twisted some earthy yellow powder from my hair, and said, "It should have been a brick, and it also matched the formation of the wound, and this big bag on your head was a blunt force injury." ”
As soon as I saw the powder, it looked like it had fallen from a red brick, and I said thank you to the doctor and hurried to the company.
Actually, the purpose of my visit to the hospital was not to treat my injuries, but to ask me how I got this big bag.
Now it is certain that the person who hit me in the head with a brick from behind last night must have been a person, and if it was a ghost or something, he would not use a brick at all, and I have not heard of a ghost who smashed a brick at a person until now.
But who could be the person who smashed me last night?
I found a lot of these red bricks near the toilet, and it seems that the person who smashed me last night picked up a brick and smashed it.
At this time, Wu Peng happened to go to the toilet and saw me wandering around here, so he asked me what I was doing.
I casually snorted and said I had nothing to do, so I could breathe here.
Wu Peng looked at the toilet next to him, smiled and said You have a really strong taste, and then went into the toilet.
The reason I didn't tell Wu Peng the truth is that now I suspect that it all might have something to do with him. Ever since I came here, I've thought it's weird and weird.
And said that the bearded man came back this morning, and he was also saying, I didn't see it, maybe he was the initiator behind it, before the matter was clear, I had to keep a low profile, investigate secretly, and I had to find out the man behind the scenes, maybe the man behind the scenes, there was a secret of rootless flowers.
Originally, I wanted to ask the female employees here if the bearded man had really come back this morning, but when my female employees saw me, they were like ghosts, and they avoided me when they saw me, let alone talk to me.
I thought about it for a while, and then decided to go to my grandmother, who seemed kind and didn't seem to treat me like anyone else.
When I found her in the duty room on the first floor of the living quarters, she was sitting on a small bench, chanting words with her eyes closed, and a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, which should be chanting Buddhist scriptures.
I don't feel any strange about this, because it's normal for the older generation to believe in Buddhism.
She was so engrossed that she didn't notice me, and I couldn't bear to interrupt her, so I just stood aside and waited quietly.
After a long time, my grandmother slowly opened her eyes, let out a long breath, turned her head to see me, and didn't have much special expression, just asked me what was wrong.
I told her what I had in mind, and asked her if she had seen the bearded security guard come back in the morning.
After hearing this, my grandmother's expression was not shocked, and she did not answer my question, but said a particularly strange thing to me, "What if you see it?" What if you don't see it? This world is true or false, I don't know how many people are obsessed with it, but in the end, it is inevitable that the bamboo basket will be empty. But many people don't understand the whole truth, but they don't know that these things in the world are just illusory bubbles. ”
I was confused, and I was about to ask something, but my grandmother had already given me an eviction order, "Let's go, don't come to me if you have nothing to do in the future, I'm old and like to be quiet." ”
I opened my mouth, but in the end I didn't speak, so I had to leave the room helplessly, thinking about how the people here are stranger than the other, it feels like entering a mental hospital, if it weren't for the rootless flower, I would have slapped my ass and left, but when I just went out to work yesterday, I still think it's all good here.
Because I work the night shift, I don't have anything to do during the day, and I am also confused about what happened last night, if it is not a hallucination, then why is there no trace at all?
But if it's a hallucination, how can I have a big bag on my head?
Lying in bed for a long time, I didn't come up with a reason, and I felt my stomach growl, only to realize that I hadn't even eaten breakfast today.
When I went to the cafeteria, it was just in time for the morning break, and it was overcrowded, but when they saw me, they avoided it like a bomb.
I'm too lazy to care about it now, and I don't plan to hang out here for long anyway, so it's okay to save the queue.
I bought the simplest set menu, walked to a table in the corner with a plate, and pondered last night while eating alone.
Just when I was thinking about it, I felt a cold tap on the shoulder, and a woman's voice came from behind, "Hey, handsome guy!" ”
I was startled, and when I turned my head, I saw that it was a girl with big eyes and a melon seed face, who looked to be about twenty, and a pair of big watery eyes were particularly eye-catching.
The clothes she wore were also different from those female employees, she did not wear company clothes, but wore a pink hip-hugging skirt, and her figure belonged to the category of small and exquisite.
"Can I sit here?" She pointed to the empty seat in front of me, and without waiting for me to reply, she put the plate down with a big grin and sat down across from me.
I was a little overwhelmed, and when other people here saw me, it was like hiding from the plague, but this woman took the initiative to post it upside down.
"What, don't want to?" Seeing that I didn't speak, the girl blinked at me with big eyes.
I nodded hurriedly, "Of course I do, please sit down." ”
Then I asked her, "You're from this company too?" ”
The girl nodded, "Well, I just came to work on my first day today, and I came in the morning, and I did the copywriting work, my name is Meng Lingyin, what about you?" ”
"Dream Suzune? The name is very special, my name is Zhang Zhanning, and I came a day earlier than you. ”
I replied with a smile, and the doubts in my heart were dispelled, no wonder this woman is different from others, it turns out that she is new, and she doesn't need to wear the company's uniform as a copywriter.
Dream Lingyin is very talkative.,A small mouth.,I'm amused by her giggles.,I'm afraid this is the first time I've talked so much to a woman since I came here.,And it's a pretty watery little Lori.。
Suddenly, I remembered something and asked her, "By the way, did you see a big beard when you went to work this morning?" ”
She thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It seems that there is such a person, oh, by the way, I remembered, I saw him go to Manager Wu's office in the morning." ”
I wondered after listening to it, it seems that Wu Peng is not lying, the bearded man did come back this morning, but who could be the person I saw last night? Could it be that it was really just a dream? But what about the big bag on the back of my head?
Just when I was wondering, Meng Lingyin suddenly said, "By the way, I want to ask you something." ”
"You say."
"Today I heard some female workers talking about you."
"What are you talking about me?" I put down my chopsticks and asked curiously.
Meng Lingyin took a small sip of porridge, wiped her cherry-like mouth with a tissue, leaned her head to my side, and said mysteriously, "I heard them talking about when you will die!" ”
