Chapter 3 Night Shift Hours
In front of the huge painting, a man in a black trench coat stands, holding a skeletal cane, tilting his head to observe.
After looking at it for a while, the canvas did not change at all.
But just as he was passing by, he heard a sigh, as if he had seen the person in the painting move.
[No. 311 (remaining), title: The Journey of Ruivo.] γ
"Heh......"
Before he could read the notes below, Jiang Chenchuan heard a sneer from the painting, and the frightening coolness slowly climbed up his neck along his spine, and he took a step back sharply, only then did he feel that there was an inexplicable coldness in the museum, and in the shadows around him, there seemed to be something hiding inside, watching him.
It's no wonder that those staff hurried back to the lounge as soon as they were done, and they didn't want to stay longer for a moment.
There were occasional footsteps upstairs, and when I looked up, I didn't see anyone.
"After the check-up, go back to rest."
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him.
Jiang Chenchuan turned his head, he was a knight of the escort team, wearing a white uniform and a corresponding long sword, with a calm face, without any expression, and without a sound when he walked, like a ghost.
He nodded, and the guards didn't seem to want to stay longer, turning to leave.
"Wait."
Jiang Chenchuan was stopped.
The guard, who had just taken two steps, seemed to think of something, and turned back and said, "I don't think I've seen you." β
"I'm new here, just joined the company, and this is my employee ID."
Jiang Chenchuan answered fluently, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, as a detective, in order to smooth the investigation, opening his eyes and telling nonsense is also one of his necessary courses, for this reason, he also went to an unknown theater for a period of time and secretly learned a lot of acting skills.
The Guardian nodded:
"Remember to follow the employee code."
Employee Code?
The client does not appear to mention any employee rules.
The people here didn't seem to like to talk, Jiang Chenchuan answered, and the guards stopped caring about him and went on patrol by themselves.
According to the memory and hints, Jiang Chenchuan found the client's lounge, where each employee has their own independent lounge, without interfering with each other, the employee's name and work status will be hung on the door, the night shift is long and boring, after the inspection, return to the lounge, and wait until the next working time to go out to check again.
When you open the door of the client's lounge, you will see a bed, a set of tables and chairs next to the bed, and scattered books on the table, which can be read at a glance.
Click-click-
The clock embedded in the wall was turning mechanically, and the iron box under the table contained a normal supply of water and food, which was turned over at random, about a week's amount.
Not only that, but there are also emergency medicines and nutritional injections in the box, so even if you are seriously injured, you can survive in this small enclosed space.
Jiang Chenchuan found the client's badge at the table, and when he looked up, he noticed that this warning slogan was still posted next to it.
[Warning: D-Class personnel are not allowed to enter the basement floor 7!] γ
Open the client's employee ID card, which is printed with a large one:
Class D.
"Humβ"
It seemed to be a roar coming from deeper underground, and the sound was heard throughout the museum.
With the sound, the overhead light went out for a while, and after a few seconds, it inexplicably returned to normal.
When the sound died down, there was a deathly silence.
The soundproofing of the lounge is very good, you can't hear any noise when you stay inside, and it's so quiet that you can hear your heart beating.
Conversation is forbidden among the night shift staff on duty, and no one else is allowed to enter the break room.
Everyone has to spend long nights in this small space until 7 a.m., during which time the entire museum is closed and no entry or exit is allowed.
"Don't go into the minus seven floors."
Jiang Chenchuan muttered softly.
This museum looks normal, but it is full of weirdness.
Human beings seem to have this common trait, the more they don't let you do anything, the more they want to do it.
Of course, Jiang Chenchuan just wanted to complete the commission, and he didn't want to die.
"Dingβ"
With a beep, the red light overhead lights up.
This meant that it was his turn to check the state of the collection.
There was no way, he came in instead of the client, and he had to complete the corresponding work if he didn't want to expose himself.
Hanging up his hat and windbreaker, Jiang Chenchuan changed into the staff's coat, picked up the work notebook on the table and walked out.
The cold corridors were empty, and every break room that passed by showed that someone was resting inside, but no sound could be heard, and at intervals, the clock embedded in the wall could be seen turning mechanically, and the accuracy of time seemed to be of particular importance here.
The area where the client is responsible for the inspection is the basement three floors, the middle of the whole building is a circle, where various collections are placed, and the two sides are the staff work area or rest room, and the inspection can be walked around along the corridor.
As soon as I walked through the staff area, I saw an old notice posted on the wall.

People like Jiang Chenchuan, who have a bit of a reading addiction, will read all the content on the notice word for word, and when they look at it, they will see something wrong.
"Huh?"
Jiang Chenchuan made a puzzled voice.
The paper on which the notice was posted appeared to have been lifted.
Jiang Chenchuan raised his hand to tear open the adhesive tape that was no longer much sticky, and on the back of the paper, it seemed that two words were crookedly engraved with a knife:
"Run!"
