"You're Lu Yun, right?"

Seeing that Lu Yun didn't answer, the gray-haired woman asked again.

Lu Yun, who had recovered from his surprise, nodded stiffly, he didn't know this woman at all, but she seemed to know herself.

"Well, Qi Jie is really right, your child's qualifications are indeed terrifyingly high, so high that I wonder if you are a human being!"

The gray-haired woman laughed three times, and suddenly appeared in front of Xiang Yan again, scaring Xiang Yan with a black cat mask.

"Oooh... It's really the eye of the ether, and the quality is not low. ”

Xiang Yan was obviously still wearing a black cat mask that covered his entire face, but he didn't block the woman's sight.

She didn't deliberately lower her voice, and the people around her could hear it, and they instantly turned their shocked gazes to Xiang Yan, allowing the latter to hide directly behind Lu Yun.

Among them, there is no shortage of greedy and regretful eyes.

"Hahaha has a good relationship, but children, I advise you not to expect too much from this person, there are only a few normal people in this company who understand this~"

"Let's have fun, I'll have to go beforehand."

After speaking, the gray-haired woman patted Lu Yun's shoulder, turned her back to them and waved goodbye, and when she walked to the door, the doorman bowed respectfully to her, and she actually bowed back, which made the doorman at a loss.

And everyone in the hall didn't move until she left completely, waiting for the gray-haired figure to leave completely before returning to normal.

“… Kook. ”

Xiang Yan commented that she was forced to expose the Eye of Aether and now pressed the mask more tightly against her face.

"Hmm... Kook. ”

In addition to the off-line behavior, Lu Yun's criteria for judging this were the moment she slapped herself, and at that moment, Lu Yun's mouth was full of sweet and sour.

Extremely sweet, hardly any other taste.

The gray-haired woman is the ultimate casualness, she is like a cloud floating in this world, and aimlessness is her purpose.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Yun could still taste the taste that other normal people would have, he would really suspect that what he had encountered was not a human, but a post-war anomaly of a human form.

"Please go in, press the corresponding button to go to the corresponding floor."

The words of the front desk staff pulled Lu Yun and Xiang Yan back, and also restored the previous atmosphere of the entire hall.

"Well, do you know who that person was just now?"

After Lu Yunhe and Xiang Yan walked into the elevator, they asked the employee about the identity of the gray-haired woman just now.

She shook her head first, then moved closer to Lu Yun and Xiang Yan, and carefully did not let herself step into the elevator for half a step.

"She's an employee who's at the same level of authority as you are, and occasionally walks through the halls like she did today, but I don't remember her appearing in any department I know of."

Lu Yun nodded, speculating that the woman should be a member of the department that Huang Youliang said, which is not open to the public, and judging by her appearance, the authority level should not be low.

The elevator door soon closed automatically, and Lu Yun took a look around the structure inside the mysterious elevator.

The elevator in the middle is no different from the left and right sides that Lu Yun took last time, but on both sides of the elevator door where the floor buttons should have been placed, only the left side has buttons at the moment, and the right side is empty.

Those buttons are only the 1~100 floors that Lu Yun had seen when he came to the interview last time, and there is no so-called underground floor.

The sound insulation of the elevator is also surprisingly good, and after the door is closed, no sound from the outside world can be heard, and the atmosphere inside the elevator becomes oppressive.

I don't know if it's because of nervousness, Lu Yun even felt that the base of his tongue began to have a bitter taste.

Suddenly, a red line of light shot on the top of Lu Yun and Xiang Yan's heads, and gradually moved downward.

Because they didn't know what was going on, Lu Yun and Xiang Yan tacitly chose not to act, they felt that no matter what happened next, it would be better than keeping Fang Cai's dead silence in the elevator.

"Employees: Lu Yun, Xiang Yan; Permission Level: TBD; Access to the Extreme Floor: 1st basement floor. ”

A voice similar to Sophia, the housekeeper robot of her mother's house, sounded from all directions inside the elevator.

The originally empty right button position also rippled like water at the top, and the word "-1" appeared, which corresponded to the "1" on the left.

Lu Yun immediately pressed the button, and at this time, it was the same as an ordinary elevator, and after emitting blue light, it drove the elevator to move down.

And in this short waiting time, Lu Yun suddenly realized a problem, a question that made him a little creepy.

If this button corresponds to the floor on the ground...

And even more...

It's an unbelievably large underground structure...

What exactly is it built for?

……

Ding————

The elevator door then opened, and Lu Yun also saw the true face of the Ether Company's underground.

Unlike the high-end and luxurious decoration of the hall, if Lu Yun didn't know that this was the interior of the Aether Company, he would definitely think that this was the interior of some pre-war fortress.

The silver-gray ether alloy makes up the sky and the earth of this underground layer, and the distance between the ground and the ceiling is about 10 meters.

Instead of the empty halls, the walls of aetheric alloy are divided into corridors, and numbered office doors are arranged in an orderly manner.

The material of the door is similar to that of the wall, which is aether alloy, but it is harder.

The automatic firearms and weapons that had been hidden in the hall on the pillared floors were now all exposed, and could be seen around every corner and hallway.

Lu Yun and Xiang Yan never thought that they would see such a fortress-like place, and with the large number of rooms, they didn't know how to act for a while.

They are afraid that they will accidentally trigger the alarm directly and be forced to face the terrifying rain of bullets.

"Don't be afraid, these things won't attack employees."

A somewhat familiar voice came from Lu Yun, but it gave him a different feeling than he remembered.

He looked at the source of the voice, it was a man who looked to be in his thirties with short black hair, and it was indeed a company employee that Lu Yun knew.

He was the interviewer he met when Lu Yun came here for an interview, and he was also the one who conducted the qualification test for him, Qi Jie.

It's just that at this moment, he doesn't seem to be as amiable as he was when they first met, on the contrary, the expressionless Qi Jie even gives people a feeling of indifference.

However, this is also the taste of the character that Lu Yun "tasted" from him when he shook hands with him.

This reminded Lu Yun of the nickname Feng Ran gave him, "facial paralysis".

"Don't waste time, you're just the two of you left in this batch of new hires."

As soon as Lu Yun wanted to say hello to Qi Jie, he turned around directly and walked towards a corner not far away, regardless of whether Lu Yun and Xiang Yan really followed.

So in order not to get lost completely, Lu Yun and Xiang Yan obediently followed.

On the way, Qi Jie led the two of them forward and said:

"Let me introduce myself again, I am Qi Jie, the upper-level section chief of the personnel department, in charge of the recruitment and distribution of new recruits in the company."

"After undergoing containment testing with the same batch of employees as you, the company will assign you a specific level of authority and assign a department."

"The internal rules and space division of the company can be found out through the personal terminal in the dormitory after the onboarding process is completed."

"Until then, don't just walk around the company."

Qi Jie's words were simple and capable, and the affinity that Lu Yun brought during the interview seemed to be like an illusion, if he didn't already know his "taste", Lu Yun would even think that this Qi Jie just looked like the interviewer.

This was followed by a silent walk, the only sound of the heel clattering against the alloy at the moment.

Since Qi Jie was really not slow, Xiang Yan almost couldn't keep up, but whenever she had to slow down, Qi Jie would also reduce her speed accordingly, and she would always be stuck in a range that they could keep up with.

"Here we are, come in."

Qi Jie stopped in front of a door that read "Onboarding Office" and opened it with the company badge on his chest.

The moment the door opened, the fragrance of jasmine followed, Lu Yun had smelled this smell many times today, and he couldn't help but feel that the person in charge of internal management really liked the smell of jasmine too much.

Then, Lu Yun felt that Xiang Yan had hidden most of himself behind him again, so he looked inside the room.

There are almost a dozen people standing in the entry office, they are lined up in three rows, and most of them look very neat and exquisite, and they look like people in the city.

There are only a few people who are as plain and even shabby as Lu Yun, and they have the temperament of coming from the suburbs.

After they saw Qi Jie come back, they immediately stopped whispering to each other, and after seeing Lu Yun and Xiang Yan who were following them, their eyes widened slightly in confusion and surprise.

After Qi Jie took Lu Yun and Xiang Yan into the entry office, the latter two consciously stood in the back row of the line, while Qi Jie walked straight to the table and chairs placed in front of the team.

There, in addition to Qi Jie, there was another employee sitting there, who was also the face that Lu Yun knew, it was Han Yueqiu, who was in charge of recording his interview process at that time.

She was still looking at the computer, seemingly unaware of their arrival.

"Well, we're all here."

Qi Jie walked to the front of the group and spoke to everyone here in a calm voice:

"Welcome to Ether Corporation."
