Chapter 5: See the Mystery Again
1 a.m.
Lin Zhao walked into the stairwell in silence.
The stairwell was a mess, blood splattering underground, stairs, and white walls.
There was a clear pool of blood on the ground, and a large area was vacant in the middle of the bloodstain.
The body has been removed.
Lin Zhao was silent.
The first victim in the dream of the protagonist Qian Xiaohao has appeared!
Lin Zhao turned his head and walked towards the security room.
He had to report this matter to Uncle Yan.
According to the plot of the original work, there is no new night patrol security guard, and it is Uncle Yan who discovered the stairwell abnormality.
But now that Lin Zhao has taken office, the first person to discover the scene has naturally become him.
......
"What the hell happened here?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Uncle Yan's face became gloomy.
"How dare you make trouble on my turf."
Then, narrowing his eyes, he took a few steps forward and picked up a bloodstained gold tooth from a pool of blood.
After staring at the golden tooth for a while, Uncle Yan turned around and said to Lin Zhao in a calm tone: "I will definitely investigate this matter, don't call the police first, I'm afraid of scaring the residents of the building."
Lin Zhao nodded, but immediately muttered in his heart.
There are only a few people and a few ghosts left in the residents of this mansion now, and ordinary homicides, I'm afraid they won't be taken seriously, so how can they be scared.
However, ordinary people must call the police immediately when they encounter this kind of thing! That is, characters in horror movies like you will think about themselves and check quietly!
This kind of character is either a trick whose confidence is greater than intelligence and will definitely get a boxed lunch soon, or a behind-the-scenes boss who controls the overall situation.
it! It turns out that from here on, does it foreshadow the end of Uncle Yan?
Lin Zhao thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness.
"Alas, Xiao Zhao, you don't have to worry, the security of our building has always been very good."
"You don't have to patrol tonight, let me go. By the way, find out what the hell is going on. I'm much more familiar with this building than you are, and I'm sure I'll be able to find some clues. ”
Uncle Yan looked at Lin Zhao with a sad face, mistakenly thinking that he was scared, so he couldn't help but pat Lin Zhao's shoulder and comforted him.
"Jingle bells! Because the host colleague took the initiative to request a change of guard, today's end time is early! ”
"Coming back to the original world! Prepare your hosts! ”
The system prompt sounded, and before Lin Zhao could react, the light flashed, and he returned to the staff lounge of the convenience store.
The staff lounge is usually only for employees to rest temporarily, and no one will live, so only a bunk bed and two chairs are placed, and even a quilt is not prepared.
Fortunately, the weather was getting warmer and not too cold, so Lin Zhao covered himself with two or three thin coats, which also played the role of a quilt.
Through the faint light through the crack in the door, Lin Zhao raised his hand to look at the time.
1:15 a.m.
I don't know if my sudden disappearance will scare Uncle Yan.
But the system should be able to rationalize the fact that I disappeared out of thin air in an instant.
Alas, earned most of the night's rest.
It may be because he didn't go to full work, so he didn't experience the benefits of returning to the full spirit, and Lin Zhao fell asleep quickly as usual.
......
Bang Bang
Early the next morning, Lin Zhao was woken up by the sound of a gong.
Who, don't be a man in the morning!
He opened his eyes in confusion.
I saw only the mobile phone playing the sound and the hand holding the phone, followed by the blue, black and haggard, angry face of the convenience store manager Zhang Yuan, and a few colleagues around the door.
"Do I have permission for employees to stay overnight in the store?"
"I'll tell you, this job is not covered with food, I have paid enough salary, don't think about the wool in the store."
"Everything you don't do according to the regulations is harming the interests of our store!"
"Don't underestimate this rule that doesn't allow overnight stays! Electricity and water bills that are out of budget, that's all money. ”
Zhang Yuanyue said that his emotions became more and more intense, and even his voice became high-pitched and shriek.
"Lin Zhao, if you are a first-time offender, you will deduct 50 from your salary next month."
After saying this, Zhang Yuan's mood seemed to calm down a little, and he said in a gentle tone.
"However, I have always been considerate of employees, and since you have needs, I, as the boss, will definitely try my best to meet them. Well, I'll rent you this bunk for 500 a month, which will be deducted from your salary. ”
Lin Zhao was suddenly unhappy.
When I was wronged!
Who doesn't want your bed? What should I do with 500 yuan?
He looked up at Zhang Yuan, and was trying to argue with reason.
But in the next second, Lin Zhao was stunned.
He saw—
Zhang Yuan's neck that leaned forward was tightly encircled by two hands, and a lifeless but smiling face with eyes rolling around the back of his neck poked out, and he shook his nose from time to time and inhaled vigorously.
Every time he inhaled it, Zhang Yuan's already ugly face became even more ugly.
Zhang Yuan, he is clearly carrying a person, or maybe, not a person!
Such a conspicuous fact, but no one found out, including Zhang Yuan himself!
Even if Zhang Yuan would subconsciously make the action of supporting the "person" behind him from time to time, no one felt weird.
What's going on!
Why can there be mysterious events during the day!
Really, hell!
Lin Zhao pretended to lower his head as if nothing had happened, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart.
"I know, it's my fault, the store manager can deduct it."
Lin Zhao decided to quickly succumb to it, so as not to anger Zhang Yuan and bring the ghosts that affected Zhang Yuan's body.
"Well, I know that I didn't see the wrong person, I always thought that Xiaolin, you, is a young man with a sense of progress and a future."
"Then I'll go first. Remember! Don't be lazy! Every time you are lazy, you can't escape my eyes! ”
Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said to everyone, curling his finger and pointing it to his eyes.
After receiving the verbal promises of several employees, Zhang Yuancai showed a satisfied smile again, walked out of the staff lounge with vain steps.
"Whew."
When Zhang Yuan's footsteps were completely gone, Lin Zhao relaxed.
He couldn't help but cover his eyes when he had just seen a ghost.
It's so exciting!
If he sees a ghost in the mission world, he can still be a little mentally prepared, but in broad daylight, the mysterious event that is said to only appear at night suddenly appears in front of him, and the impact is really big!
For example, hiding in the house and waiting for the bombing time to end, but I didn't know the version update, and the house couldn't avoid the bombing anymore, so there was a bang, and I was squatting in the corner in a daze The next second became a smoking box.
Lin Zhao couldn't help but start thinking.
Is it because I'm too back, and I have encountered mysterious events one after another, or are mysterious events everywhere, but I didn't have yin and yang eyes before, so I couldn't find out.
Lin Zhao shook his head, praying not to be the latter.
"Alas, Lin Zhao, you are really unlucky, I swear, I am not the kind of villain who makes small reports!"
Colleague, Qin Ren, a convenience store night shift employee, quickly raised four fingers to show determination.
"I believe in you. No one would have thought that the store manager would come early in the morning to check the post, and his attitude was still so tough. ”
Lin Zhao waved his hand and said weakly.
Now what gives him a headache is no longer the 550 yuan that was deducted and the unpleasant mood of being scolded by the store manager.
"Renting a bed for 500 a month, it's better to grab money!"
"Speaking of which, Store Manager Zhang has changed a lot recently, how generous and approachable he used to be! Now the whole person has become stingy, I forgot to turn off the lights in the warehouse the day before yesterday, and I was scolded by him for ten minutes, and I was also deducted 50. ”
Another colleague, Wang Jian, also said.
"I wonder if Zhang Yuan has installed a camera in the store, how can he know everything! And he always deducts money at every turn, and his eyes really fall into the money bag. ”
"It's so bad that I don't want to do it. This also deducts money, that also deducts money, just let Lao Tzu go to work upside down. ”
Wang Jian's complaint won Qin Ren's approval.
"Alas, Lin Zhao, when did you get angry anymore, tell me, let's go together!"
Qin Ren said to Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao nodded and echoed a few words.
As my colleague Wang Jian said, Zhang Yuan's personality has changed since a week or two ago.
But Lin Zhao had just crossed over, and within a few days of receiving the memory of the original owner, he had only been in contact with Zhang Yuan once or twice, so he didn't notice the latter's abnormality at all.
Besides, if it weren't for the yin and yang eyes, most people would not have thought that the boss would suddenly become extremely mean, just because he was more unlucky and was caught by a ghost, instead of simply looking at you and wanting to fire you for squid.
