The rumbling of the machine reverberated through the factory, and the smell of fishy fish and rotting sea became stronger.

Standing at the end of the conveyor belt, a steady stream of severed and gutted fish pieces were piled up in huge fish pools filled with empty cans waiting for workers to fill.

Workers without gloves had to pinch the bloody gooey fish and stuff them into cans.

This disgusting experience is probably also a means for the dungeon to attack the player's senses.

"When I learned about the theme of this dungeon, I guessed if the canned food would contain human flesh," Wu Ghost took the initiative to stir up the topic of small talk, he didn't seem to take the last punishment system to heart, or rather, the victory was in his hands.

Because even though he is talking about topics that have nothing to do with work, the action of filling in his hands is faster than anyone else's, which can be said to be comparable to a machine.

This is not an efficiency that a normal person can achieve, and Qi Yan quickly concluded that this guy used props.

"For example, the missing workers in the factory have all been turned into meat in cans." Although Wu Ghost did not enter the guard room to investigate, he seems to have unlocked the clue of the worker's disappearance from somewhere else.

Qin Rang was startled, and the fish he had just caught fell back into the pool.

Qi Jiu's face did not change: "But this is a real fish." ”

The rose fish with its scales covered in red mucus, its dense texture bubbling out like fermented fruit, and the moment it grabbed the fish segment, it was like countless tongues dripping with fishy mucus licking the palms of the hands, which was weird and disgusting.

Qi Yan also noticed that the flesh of these rosefish whose heads had been cut off was mixed with small, sharp spines.

If you are not careful when filling, it is easy to scratch your hands without the help of special props.

And the props that can help improve work efficiency are obviously only available to travelers with relatively rich experience or good resources, because except for Wu Ghost among the four of them, the rest of them are not very efficient.

Qi continued: "But there is still a possibility that the missing employees were made into feed for rosefish. ”

Wu Ghost smiled, but he didn't smile when he looked at Qi Jiu's eyes: "My companion also deduced so. ”

Qi Jiu: "Really? What a coincidence. ”

After all, your companion has done the same thing—Qi Zhen thought to himself.

Sensing the other party's gaze, Qi Ji continued to stuff the fish as if nothing happened, and he was not in a hurry.

He knew what the Ghost was trying to figure out, and he knew how he should behave in a confused manner.

Qi Jiu's movements carefully avoided the fine bone spurs, the elastic fish flesh wrapped around his knuckles, and the red mucus continued to penetrate from the fingers, along the cuffs of the wrist-dyed red dust-free suit, and the damp and viscous red lined Qi Jiu's fingers even paler.

Rather than stinking and boring workshop work, his movements and demeanor are more like treating a work of art.

Wu Ghost frowned slightly, why hasn't Traveler No. 7 used props to improve work efficiency until now? Could it be that he has already found some important clues? Isn't the punishment Mr. Lord talking about? Or did he have other plans?

From the beginning to the present, Qi Yan has successfully played himself as an experienced boss. In everyone's cognition, it is not difficult for the big guy to get props to improve efficiency.

At this moment, Wu Ghost was trying his best to figure out the reason why Qi Yan didn't turn on the props for a long time, but as everyone knows, Qi Jiu, who was silent on his face, looked at his empty prop bar again and sighed.

is different from Qi Zheng, who is passive and fishing, Xu Shengyi, who has been very concerned about the punishment system at the end from the beginning, has worked very hard, and he has not stopped his work for a moment since the start of work.

"You can't fall behind, you can't fall behind, you won't be punished if you exceed others, and others will never be able to work as hard as you ......"

"Mr. Lord is watching me, and I need to show him my efforts and know that I am the most valuable employee......"

Xu Shengyi kept repeating in his heart like a daze, in the real world, he who has been used to rolling out his colleagues by working double overtime in front of the leader, does not hate this feeling of involution, and even feels that this is his advantage.

Until a sharp pain came from the tip of the index finger—

"Ahh

Xu Shengyi reflexively pressed the index finger of his right hand, and his face suddenly stiffened, "I was stabbed by a fish bone!" ”

A steady stream of mucus wrapped around the fish, and he was so focused on catching up with his colleagues that he didn't notice the potential danger.

It wasn't until the moment of injury that he realized that he remembered the fifth article of the safety code -

"If you are injured during work, please be sure to go to the infirmary as soon as possible."

Everyone stopped their movements and looked at Xu Shengyi, who was panicked after being injured.

"You hurry up and go to the infirmary to see what the code requires?" Qin Rang said immediately.

Xu Shengyi nodded a little unwillingly: "It's only like this, it's all because I'm not careful... But what if I'm falling behind..."

Qin Rang: "......"

At this moment, the security inspector walked towards them, and Xu Shengyi just wanted to report the situation, but was stopped by Wu Ghost-

"Wait a minute," the Ghost looked at his wounds, seeming interested, "how can you be sure that the rules must be right?" ”

Xu Shengyi's eyes widened in disbelief: "What, what do you mean?" ”

Wu Ghost: "Although the rules clearly give what to do after being injured, no one knows what the consequences of doing this are. ”

"I've had a little more experience with this book, and I can tell you responsibly that there are some rules that are not good for travelers."

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

As long as you calm down and think about it for a while, you will find that Wu Ghost's concerns are not unreasonable.

The code states that "if you are injured in the course of work, please go to the infirmary as soon as possible", but it does not inform the infirmary how the injured worker will be treated.

Because of the description of cats in the previous entry manual, Qi Yan also doubted the position and accuracy of the code.

"Besides, going to the infirmary also delays the work at hand, doesn't it?" Ghost Wu knew exactly what he was worried about.

Xu Shengyi nodded in a cold sweat, he pressed the injury with a trembling hand, and looked at Wu Ghost nervously and helplessly: "Then what should I do... What am I going to do? ”

Wu Ghost saw his fear in his eyes, and finally raised the corners of his lips: "I can help you." ”

The unexpected answer made Xu Shengyi stunned, and then cautiously confirmed: "Really? ”

As if desperately grasping at a life-saving straw, he hurriedly added: "Thank you, big guy!" ”

Wu Ghost mixed a bottle of potion from the inventory: "Drink it." ”

Xu Shengyi grabbed the potion with both hands as if he had obtained the treasure, but hesitated before opening the bottle cap: "May I ask what its effect is?" ”

Wu Ghost smiled: "You'll know if you drink it." ”

"Okay, okay." Seeing that the safety inspector was getting closer and closer, Xu Shengyi had no other choice but to drink a whole bottle of potion with his head down.

Qi Ji looked at the happy Wu ghost and frowned slightly.

Will this shrewd man really lend a helping hand and consume his own props for the "colleagues" he meets? Qi Ji thinks it won't be that simple.

But in an emergency, someone puts a bottle of life-saving medicine in front of them, and it is difficult for most people to refuse.

Although the effectiveness of this bottle of life-saving medicine is questionable.

After drinking the potion, Xu Shengyi continued to work with his head down, but he could no longer concentrate as before, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

The pricked hand was still oozing blood.

Xu Shengyi panicked: "Big guy, does this potion really work......

"Don't talk nonsense, you'll find out later." Wu Ghost's attitude suddenly changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he said impatiently.

Xu Shengyi choked for a moment, and didn't dare to continue to ask.

Half a minute later, the security inspector walked up to them.

His gaze was like a security scanner, sweeping over the workers on the production line, especially their hands soaked in slime.

His gaze stayed on Xu Shengyi's hand for a few more seconds, and Xu Shengyi's face turned gray with fright, and he couldn't even control his teeth chattering.

Eventually, the security inspector withdrew his gaze as if he were unaware of anything.

"Are any of you hurt?" The safety officer asked.

"Nope." Seeing that Xu Shengyi hesitated, Wu Ghost answered for him.

Xu Sheng shrank and looked at him, and Wu Ghost glared at him coldly.

"For the sake of your health and safety, please go to the infirmary promptly if you have any injuries." After the explanation, the security officer left.

At this moment, Xu Shengyi's injured hand was still bleeding, but he was able to escape the inspection of the security officer, and Qi Zhen speculated that this was probably the effect of the potion.

Xu Shengyi finally realized something, and he cautiously questioned: "Big guy, should your potion be ......?"

Wu Ghost smiled: "Haven't we all seen the effect?" ”

Confirming his worries, Xu Shengyi was covered in cold sweat and even stammered when he spoke: "This, isn't this, isn't it, isn't it a healing prop?" ”

Wu Ghost gave him a strange look: "A little skin trauma doesn't cost props to heal, right?" ”

Xu Shengyi was stunned: "But the stab wound is likely to cause ......"

Wu Ghost shrugged: "The consequences are still unclear, and I can't prescribe the right medicine for you." ”

"You—You lied to me!" Xu Shengyi's breathing became rapid and his heartbeat was also getting faster, he didn't know if it was because of his violent emotional ups and downs or the consequences of being stabbed.

Wu Ghost smiled and said with an innocent face: "How can you say that I lied to you?" I said help you, isn't it also help you to avoid the security officer? ”

"You, you, you......!"

Wu Ghost's purpose was already obvious, he wanted to take advantage of Xu Shengyi's injury to test the rules.

By evading the safety officer's inspection with a hidden prop, he can observe what happens to the injured worker.

And Xu Shengyi, who was nervous and at a loss, continued to reduce the pleasure value of maintaining mental stability, so he became his most perfect test lamb.

Xu Shengyi, who came to his senses, wanted to go to the infirmary, but Wu Ghost had already expected it, and pressed his fingers heavily on his shoulder: "Mr. Xu, please don't act irrationally, after all, I also consumed props to give you medicine, and the equivalent exchange, right?" ”

Xu Shengyi, who was threatened by the other party, didn't dare to move anymore, he looked at the Wu ghost who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he didn't even dare to say anything to refute.

He believed that this dangerous guy could do anything.

But at this moment, Xu Shengyi's breathing suddenly became extremely rapid, and his skin was dyed a strange red in a short period of time.

Dense red spots crawl up the skin and make the scalp tingle.

Chapter 7 Canned Rosefish (7)

"It's so hot......"

Xu Shengyi couldn't care about the stinky blood stains on his sleeves, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and the scarlet blood immediately smeared his face, making him look very weird when he was sweating profusely.

"It's hot, it's hot, aren't you guys?"

Xu Shengyi's voice was a little hoarse than just now, and he kept wiping his sweat, "I'm so thirsty, and I don't know if I can drink water." ”
