Qi Yan: "Qin let that 5-second prop, he gave it to me." ”

"Tsk," Ji Xiaoye tore the mask off her face, she squinted slightly at Qi Yan, "I want to know your plan." ”

Qi Zhen smiled: "Of course, only you can make this plan come to fruition." ”

*

Negotiated a plan with Ji Xiaoye, and for the rest, Qi Yan only needs to wait, and there will be an answer to whether it is successful or not tomorrow morning.

His pleasure levels were declining, and the pain in his neck continued to intensify.

The pleasure value was too low and the wound was rotting and inflamed, and after eating, Qi Zhen began to experience dizziness, tinnitus, fatigue and other uncomfortable reactions.

Even after taking the anti-inflammatory medicine given by Ji Xiaoye, it had no effect, Qi Yan leaned on the chair in the rest area, and the buzzing tinnitus was like the chirping of cicadas on a summer afternoon, silent and noisy.

He yawned loudly, his eyelids were wet and heavy, and the light around him turned into damp spots, magnifying and spreading little by little, and finally connecting into a white mist, and the whole person was confused, like falling into the depths of a thick fog—

He fell asleep and had a dream.

In his dream, the white mist receded like a tide, surrounded by white tiles and walls, and in front of him was an operating table.

In the center of the operating table was a blood-stained lump of flesh...... Or some kind of dying creature, because Qi Zhen could hear the faint breathing and moaning of the flesh.

In the dream, he couldn't move freely, as if he had entered someone's body and watched the dream playing with the other's eyes.

He was dressed in a white doctor's uniform and appeared to be a doctor.

The gloves were stained with a mixture of tissue mucus and fresh blood, and through the mask, a strong and distinctive fishy smell permeated the air.

He had a needle in his hand, and he seemed to be injecting something into the moaning mass of rotten flesh.

"Is it fun?"

It was a young woman's voice, with a smile in her tone, and at the same time, a hard, cold object pressed against the back of Qi Zhen's body owner's head.

Qi Zhen heard the sound of a pistol being loaded.

"Don't mess around." The owner of the body was not afraid, and even said that he didn't care about being pointed at the back of the head with a gun at the other party, and seemed to be used to such a situation.

He continued to concentrate on the injection in his hand.

The voice of the owner of the body, like the voice that came from the communicator last night, was no different from Qi Jiu's own voice.

The girl chuckled, then placed the removed gun on the operating table, in front of him.

"I said, if I become like this one day, you use it to destroy me." The girl said in a joking tone, but very seriously.

The owner of the body did not answer.

The girl complained: "This ghost looks so ugly, I don't want it, I'd rather disappear from this world." ”

"So, please."

……

Qi Yan opened his eyes suddenly, and Qin Rang patted him on the shoulder with a worried face: "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine," Qi Yan took a deep breath, "I had a nightmare." ”

"It's probably a side effect of the drop in pleasure after the injury," Qi Yan glanced at the time, "Let's go, the rest time is almost over, it's just right to go to the workshop now." ”

Qin Rang looked at Qi Yan worriedly, and finally lowered his head, but didn't say anything at all. He knew very well what it meant to have declining pleasure points, but he didn't seem to be doing anything good other than cheating the other party.

Along the way, Qi Yan was thinking, who was the "he" in the dream? And the familiar doctor's uniform on his body...... "he" is the doctor who has disappeared in the infirmary? Why did I dream about him and the girl? Who was the girl who joked with him with a gun?

But Qi Zhen believes that dreams can only be regarded as hints, not clues.

He had a hunch that he would have the opportunity to meet with this "familiar" doctor in the future.

The period from dinner to before lights out was relatively free, Qi Jiu had a small canned dried fish in his pocket, and walked southwest after coming out of the dormitory.

At noon, the nurse reminded - "No one can treat skin that has been corroded by mucus. ”

If this sentence is used as a play on words, there are other creatures in the factory besides people, such as the little gray cat who helped him in the first place, but was listed as a dangerous creature by the factory rules.

The wound on his neck continued to deteriorate, and the pleasure value was about to fall to a critical point, anyway, there was no more definite way at the moment, and Qi Yan thought that he might be able to find a way out by taking a risk and experimenting.

The door he entered the factory could not be found on the map, but fortunately, Qi Jiu had a good sense of space, and along the direction of his memory, he soon heard the sound of the waves close at hand, and two steps further, he was hidden in the weeds by the wooden door painted in cement.

Yes, yes, here.

Qi Yan opened the can and put it by the door, while he hid a little farther away and secretly observed the movement.

Tonight was lucky, and after less than ten minutes of waiting, there was movement in the grass.

A gray figure sprang out of the haystack, stopped at the can of fish, and meowed twice vigilantly.

The little gray cat and the dried fish stalemate for half a minute, and finally the little gray cat finally surrendered to the coveted little dried fish and ate it with relish.

Qi Yan squatted in the grass and waited patiently, sometimes even deliberately making a little noise, trying to test the attitude of the little gray cat.

I saw that the little gray cat moved its ears, and seemed to have sensed that someone was here, but the action of eating dried fish did not stop.

When the little gray cat was about to finish eating the dried fish, Qi Yan tossed away the grass piled up in front of him.

The little gray cat finally raised its head and confronted each other for a moment, it wagged its tail and meowed at Qi Jiu twice, and there was no vigilance or fear in its blue eyes like glass beads.

- Just curious, and a little eager to try.

Qi Ji took advantage of the situation and stretched out his hand to greet the cat, and with permission, the little gray cat completely let down his guard, and rushed in the direction of Qi Ji with an arrow step, Qi Ji smiled and touched its soft head, and opened a can of dried fish.

"Do you remember me?" Qi asked.

Little Gray Cat: Meow

Qi Yan smiled: "Thank you yesterday, it was you who brought me here, so that I could enter the factory smoothly." ”

The little gray cat seemed to be a little clingy, rubbing his face against Qi Jiu's palm while eating dried fish.

But Qi Zhen knew that cats were very vigilant creatures, and they would not easily show such a coquettish posture in front of strangers.

Qi Zhen asked tentatively, "Did you know me before?" ”

The little gray cat paused slightly, raised her eyes and looked at him twice as if complaining: meow meow

After meowing, it continued to bury its head in the dried fish.

Qi Yan squinted his eyes slightly and patted his furry head: "Then do you know how to treat skin corroded by mucus?" ”

The little gray cat ignored him this time and continued to gobble down its small dried fish.

Qi Yan didn't urge to disturb, and after the cat finished eating, it suddenly moved lightly on Qi Yan's shoulder, curled its tongue and licked Qi Yan's wound.

The sensation is subtle, the cat's tongue is soft and soft, and almost instantaneously neutralizes the burning sensation of the wound.

At the same time, the pleasure value, which had fallen to 34, slowly rose by 1 point, and the uncomfortable reaction of headache and tinnitus gradually disappeared.

saved.

Qi Yan slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you." ”

Little Gray Cat: Meow Meow

It turns out that the nurse's words can really be understood as a play on words, and the saliva of the little gray cat is a good medicine for mucus corrosion.

But if this is the case, why should Article 5 of the entry manual deliberately mislead new employees? Why does Mr. Lord look terrified when he mentions cats?

Mr. Lord symbolizes the Bates Factory, and his attitude suggests that the factory is afraid of the presence of cats.

So...... Isn't it understood that the presence of cats harms the interests of the factory? But is this level of "damage" likely to be beneficial to workers?

That's interesting.

Now Qi Zhen is more interested in the use of "Cat's Guide", after all, there is an important role in this branch - Mrs. Bates.

He rubbed the little gray cat's head affectionately, and said with a smile: "Do you know where to find Madame?" ”

The pupils of the little gray cat, which had been so comfortable that it almost melted into Qi Yan's hand, suddenly dilated, and it meowed a few times vigilantly, and then jumped up, and rushed over the grass briskly to the unlocked wooden door.

Qi Yan quickly got up and followed, and he followed the little gray cat to the reef cliff where the waves invaded.

This was the reef shore he had crossed when he first entered the dungeon, and the unpleasant smell of the sea came to his face.

The little gray cat slowed down, suddenly folded its tail and lay on the edge of the reef, its eyes were gloomy, motionless staring at the chaotic waves, Qi Jiu stood not far away and waited patiently, and finally the little gray cat let out a wail similar to "woo woo".

Qi Zhen frowned, inferring from the little gray cat's performance that Mrs. Bates was likely to have died in the sea.

The feedback from the system confirmed his guess, if his wife has passed away, what does the remaining 25% of progress symbolize?

- "Meow! ”

At this moment, the little gray cat suddenly raised its tail and hid in the reef at lightning speed, and disappeared in an instant.

Qi Zhen realized that there was a person standing behind him at this moment.

"Who are you?"

It was a young woman's voice, Qi Jiu's eyes widened instantly with his back to her, and he instantly recognized that it was the voice of the girl in the dream-

"What are you doing here?" The girl asked.

Chapter 17: Canned Rosefish (17)

Qi Jiu's body froze for a moment, and he was brewing emotions.

Two seconds later, Qi Jiukankan turned around, and at this time his face showed a distressed and helpless look: "I am a new employee, I want to go back to the dormitory after coming out of the cafeteria, I separated from my companion halfway, and I accidentally got lost and turned to this neighborhood, I didn't expect a door here......"

Through the lenses, Qi Yan looked at the girl who had appeared in her dream.

The girl's flaming red hair was unforgettable, and Qi Yan quickly recognized her as the girl holding the cat in the photo in the factory cultural exhibition hall - Miss Rossetti.
