Chapter 422: Sowing the Seeds

Some scary rumors are spreading in the company.

Some observers said that they heard weird laughter when they went to the toilet at night, and some people saw a flashing figure in white outside the window on the twentieth floor.

As a result, after the next day's work, the superintendent scolded everyone and called out the few who claimed to have seen the ghosts out for a morning.

At the insistence of several people, the director personally sat down in front of the electronic screen.

"What's going on in this room? What's out of the ordinary? ”

The director asked, pointing to the screen.

The room was still on the third floor of the inn, but the bloodstains and eyes of the flesh full of mental pollution described by the observers were missing, and the inn looked old at best.

In the spirit of conscientiousness and responsibility, he contacted Emily through the director's authority and the software installed in Emily's operating system, hoping that she could find a quiet place for a brief report.

Although Emily was a little reluctant, she eventually left the hotel alone and entered a nearby house.

Communication was quickly connected.

The director inquired in detail about Emily's physical and mental condition, and the latter confessed that she was desperate when she was attacked by the monster yesterday, but after meeting the enthusiastic Big Carrot Head and the others, her mental state improved a lot, and she even slept peacefully until the next morning.

After the director mentioned all the terrible phenomena in the hotel, Emily showed a puzzled expression, she said that the hotel was safe, there were no strange sounds to disturb her rest last night, and she had never seen any strange figures, and the three of them had said that the hotel was completely safe, and they could always trust the adventurers of the Void Investigation Bureau.

The director nodded, and he glanced at the three trembling behind him.

At this moment, the three of them suddenly stretched out their hands and pointed to the electronic screen with shocked faces.

Once again, the current interference has appeared.

When the director turned his head, he saw a distorted and terrifying sight on the screen - he could clearly see Emily's mouth suddenly open and full of barbed fangs, her face began to distort, and the screen began to flicker.

The sound of the current "Zila" was non-stop, making them want to turn off the screen as soon as possible.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you alright? ”

The terrifying image lasted for more than ten seconds, and Emily noticed the sudden silence on the other end, and asked suspiciously, she always felt that the director of the company had something to say today, and he always deliberately led the topic to the grotesque phenomenon that happened in the hotel.

The bloody handprints on the walls, the bloody words warning them to run, or the woman in white in the house.

Aren't these scenes that only appear in horror movies?

"It's fine."

It was a few more moments before she heard the director's response.

The ensuing conversation was of little value, and the director poured her a bowl of chicken soup into the air, as is customary, and told her to work hard in the town to complete the tasks assigned to them by the company, and as long as they survived in the town for 180 days, they would be welcomed back to the company in person, and enjoy a hero's welcome.

Communication was cut off, and the eerie silence lasted for a long time.

"There's something wrong with this town."

The three observers standing behind him finally mustered up the courage to say, "Yesterday, the light source in the room was cut off at 23:12, and before the light source was cut off, there was also an electric current interference on the screen, and the woman in white in the room disappeared after the interference. ”

At that time, more than one person had seen the existence of the woman in white, and if it had to be explained scientifically, it could only be understood that it was a psychic person who could move instantaneously, but in everyone's hearts, it was obvious that the ghost of the woman in white was more in line with the phenomenon they saw.

"We can't be entirely sure if Emily has been affected, or even if she's still alive."

Emily slept soundly in a dangerous town, while they, who were supposed to be observers in absolute safety, did not sleep well all night due to a series of anomalies.

If a female ghost or some kind of void creature did exist, then that time would be enough for her to be killed several times.

"Suppose what you observed yesterday is true."

The director froze, admitting that he had been startled by Emily on the other end of the com, but that their work had to continue, "That means that the strange phenomena that happen in the town usually start at night, and that the horrors you observe will happen at this inn at night." ”

If this assumption continues, the Void Investigation's position becomes somewhat delicate.

Because in the safety manual they have developed, it is clearly mentioned that it is forbidden to leave the safe area after ten o'clock, and the safe area they have designated is this hotel.

And judging from the reactions of the three of the big carrots, the adventurers of the Void Investigation Bureau never told them about the horror that happened in the hotel, and everyone thought that the hotel was safe.

These intricate thoughts make the whole thing more and more terrifying.

It's entirely possible that the suspicions of the few were trueβ€”in fact, on their first night at the hotel, they were polluted in some way, or were overrun by void creatures in their sleep, leaving them oblivious to what was happening around them.

Even......

Are these two people who wear chemical protective suits and never show their faces really adventurers?

"Keep watching."

There were too many possibilities for him to clear his mind, but he had to escalate everything they had observed to the higher-ups, and let the company's decision-makers decide how the exploration of the Void would continue.

On the other side, the employees of Voidland are also having a meeting.

"The virus transmitted by Baizhu has achieved initial results, but this time the identity of the other party is different, they are in the fourth district, and the ability of the devourer is not enough to cover that far away."

Maydell updates the work to the others.

This meant that a corner of their familiar pattern was missing, and although Bai Zhu had passed the virus-rewritten footage and scared the employees of the company monitoring the town, it was unable to cause any substantial harm to their persons.

In the theory put forward by Song Lan, only the dual experience of spirit and body can bring their customers the enjoyment of being at home.

In other words, once company employees get used to the scare and realize that the monster on the screen doesn't threaten their lives, the effect of the virus quickly wanes.

"We have to move the work to the next stage as soon as possible."
