The human aura made the monster salivate, but just as the monster pounced on the "food", a painful smell suddenly exploded around it, as if someone had detonated a gas bomb.

The smell of paint spreads rapidly like an invisible flame, burning the monster's respiratory tract and skin pervasively, emitting a fierce and painful wail from the monster's mouth, and a hoarse and chaotic voice like a human whose vocal cords have been severely damaged.

The scent attack quickly caused the monster to lose its appetite, and it quickly abandoned its predatory plan and instinctively crawled away towards the door of the dormitory.

The monster has no interest in the humans in this dormitory right now, and just wants to end the pain caused by the pungent smell as soon as possible and get out of here for some fresh air.

But it soon found out in despair that the doors and windows of the dormitory were also emitting an unusually strong and pungent smell, and it was sealed in this small house that made it feel so painful.

The physical pain combined with the mental confusion, the monster prostrate on the ground, the armor-like scales on its body fell off little by little, the burning and pain escalated, the mucus was rapidly drained from its skin tissue, and the monster almost lost its mobility.

Qi Ji watched the monster's reaction to the pungent smell.

The monster is sensitive to industrial smells and reacts violently like a fish, but at the same time it has some human characteristics, such as a hoarse voice that resembles a human, and the bare pink skin that has fallen off its scales, like new flesh growing from a human wound.

These similar characteristics to humans are definitely not a coincidence.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Qi Yan stepped forward with gloves on.

He tried to drag the dying monster into the bathroom, but it was too heavy.

"Do me a favor?" Qi Yan looked at Qin Rang, who was stunned on the side.

Qin Rang saw the whole hunting process in his eyes incredulously, and finally came back to his senses at this moment, and came over to help carry the monster.

"Remember to wear gloves," Qi Yan reminded him, "tie them up in the tub later, tie them firmly." ”

Qin Rang: "Okay, good." ”

With the two working together, the monster was quickly moved to the bathtub and tied up, and the dying monster had no strength to resist and struggle, and its mouth continued to let out painful but faint moans.

Qi Yan even put some water in the bathtub to soak the monster: "It looks quite pitiful, and a soak may relieve the pain." ”

Qin Rang: "......" Bigwig, did you forget that it wanted to tear us apart a few minutes ago?

"Don't show such a frightened expression, we weren't so scared when you tried to eat us," Qi Yan chatted with the monster while releasing water, "We didn't plan to eat you, relax friends." ”

Qin Rang: "......" He also began to feel a little sympathetic to the monster, what's going on!

"Settled" the monster, Qin Rang was responsible for cleaning up, and finally Qi Ji locked the bathroom door and applied a thin layer of spray paint at the entrance of the bathroom.

"Big man, is it any use for us to capture him?" Qin Rang, who was busy and out of breath, asked.

Qi Jiu: "I am curious about what it is and what its existence does for the factory. ”

Qin Rang nodded knowingly, although he couldn't understand it very well, but it sounded very powerful.

After all, in his cognition, travelers either dodge monsters or kill monsters, and he has never seen anyone catch monsters and then raise them for observation......

"Let's go to sleep first, this 'uninvited guest' can't make any waves tonight, let's see the results tomorrow morning." Qi Yan said, having washed the stains on his body and lay back on the bed.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the accounting of the system arrived as scheduled.

【Congratulations on successfully avoiding the Survival Crisis on the second night and unlocking Survival Coin*100】

[The current remaining number of survival coins: 163; The amount of coins to be deposited: 180; Total number of survival coins: 343; 】

Qi Ji looked at the survival coins that multiplied every day, and finally realized how low the tips he collected when he worked part-time as a janitor.

It's really rare to see such a conscientious doorman.

*

The dormitory was warm, the wound on his neck gradually healed again, and Qi Yan finally slept well this night.

I don't know what happened to the "guest" who was lying in the bathtub last night.

The moment Qi Zhen opened the bathroom door, a fishy smell was stronger than ever, and if I had to describe it, the intensity of the fishy smell was like concentrating the fish meat in the factory into essential oil.

Qi Jiu, who was unprepared, was a little dizzy from the smoke, he immediately closed the door of the bathroom, and after a few breaths of relief, he put on a mask before daring to push the door again-

The "guest" lay motionless in the bathtub, eerily quiet.

You can't already breathe, ......?

Qi Jiu's heart lifted, and when he got closer, he was relieved to hear the faint sound of breathing, and the subject of his observation was not dead.

The water in the tub was discolored by the slime contamination, and the pool of scarlet seemed to be fresh blood.

At night, the monster seemed to show signs of struggling, and the red liquid flowed down the edge of the bathtub on the white porcelain floor, and at first glance the unsuspecting person would think that he had arrived at the scene of the murder.

The detached scales floated on the surface of the water, and through the scales and the red liquid, Qi found that the monster's skin had changed.

He looked closely, and the skin after the scales had faded appeared, and countless dense bulges like tumors appeared, and the strange bulges did not look like the symptoms of paint allergies, but rather like something was about to break out of the skin.

bulging and breaking out of the skin......

[You have successfully triggered the hidden branch "The Life of the Uninvited Guest", please continue to collect relevant clue fragments and piece together this storyline]

Qi Ji stared thoughtfully at the monster soaked in the bathtub, eager to see what kind of secrets were born under the monster's skin.

At this moment, he and Qin Rang's communicators rang at the same time, and it was Mr. Lord's notice-

"Good morning, congratulations on your third morning at the factory, I hope everyone had a good rest last night."

"After a rigorous and fair evaluation, the lowest workload yesterday was employee No. 5 in dormitory 1051, and you must be well aware that the employee with the lowest daily workload will be punished."

"According to the rules, Employee 5 must be severely punished, but-"

Mr. Lord paused, and everyone's hearts in front of the communicator followed.

"But unfortunately, it was found that employee No. 5 had died this morning, so the punishment was borne by his roommate, employee No. 6."

"Please cherish your roommates." Mr. Lord turned off the communicator after the announcement, and led the security personnel to 1051 to take away the Employee 6 Wu Ghost.

Qin Rang: !

The sudden good news shocked him beyond words.

"What the hell is going on?" Qin Rang couldn't believe that the dangerous elements who cheated him were actually sent to be punished in advance.

"Is it the big guy, what did you do...... even if he is as simple as him, he understands at this moment that someone must have done something.

Qi Zhen smiled: "I told you that we can let the Wu Ghost feel the content of the punishment at the end in advance. ”

"But, how did you do that?!" Qin asked hurriedly.

Qi Zhen sold Guanzi: "It's not me, we have to thank Ji Xiaoye, she will tell you when we meet." ”

*

Ji Xiaoye obviously didn't sleep well, and he looked tired with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

"Morning," Qi Yan greeted the two ladies, and then turned to Ji Xiaoye, "I worked hard for you last night." ”

Ji Xiaoye yawned and waved his hand: "If you can send that dangerous guy from the death row club to punishment, it's worth being tired." ”

Confused and eager to find out the truth, Qin Rang hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" Did you do anything last night? ”

Ji Xiaoye explained: "It's very simple, I invaded the consciousness of employee No. 5 again and helped him break free from the life-sustaining drug control of the Wu ghost and successfully freed him. ”

"It's just that the air invasion consumes too much energy, and I'm so sleepy now." Ji Xiaoye yawned again.

This invasion wasn't that hard.

There are three factors that affect her manipulation skills, namely the difficulty of the task, the repulsion of the manipulative object, and the pleasure of the opponent.

Obviously, the wife killer is already dying, and it is not difficult to let him die purely by forcibly renewing his life by relying on the medicine of Wu Ghost; And he was in pain, and when he saw someone, he begged the other party to give him relief, and the rejection was almost zero; and the pleasure value of the wife killer last night has fallen to the lowest point, plus Ji Xiaoye manipulated the wife killer before, and now he is familiar with it, and it is easy to manipulate.

The only difficulty is that you can't let the Wu Ghost notice, the shorter the time, the safer, so Qin Rang used the 5-second efficiency prop that Qin Rang exchanged from the Wu Ghost.

As a result, the No. 5 employee, who was forcibly renewed, successfully broke free from the drug control with the help of the power of the manipulator, and successfully ended his own life and was freed.

And his roommate Wu Ghost also reaped the consequences and was postponed to accept the punishment.

"It's so subtle!" Qin Rang, who learned what had happened, was stunned.

"It's your big guy's roommate's idea, ask me to cooperate." Ji Xiaoye shrugged and smiled.

Qi Zhen was very modest: "I'm looking for your help." ”

Ji Xiaoye looked at him fixedly for a few seconds: "Speaking of which, how did you calculate that the punishment would be deferred to the roommates." ”

"Because Mr. Lord has reminded you many times, 'Please cherish your roommates,' I speculate that in the event of force majeure, the punishment will be extended to the roommates. ”

Everyone was stunned, the rule of "cherishing roommates" was clearly written in the dormitory rules, but they only understood the first meaning: cherish the roommate they have, because they can sacrifice him to feed the monster and save themselves.

Ji Xiaoye frowned, and nodded thoughtfully after a long time: "It turns out that this rule has a second meaning, which is also ...... It's hard to think of. ”

Qi Zhen corrected: "It's not that there is a second meaning, but that different NPCs say the rules that seem to be the same, and the meaning of the rules is likely to be different." ”

"The dormitory rules say "cherish roommates" in black and white, which does mean that you can feed monsters with roommates, but Mr. Lord repeated it several times, and I think the meaning of "cherish roommates" from his mouth is different."

"After all, Mr. Lord doesn't care about accommodation, he only cares about our productivity." Qi Yan said.

Gu Zhenzhen and Qin Rang were still in the clouds, Ji Xiaoye's brain had already followed, and she smiled admiringly: "Awesome." ”

At this moment, the factory radio rang out rarely, and everyone's faces were slightly gloomy, it was an urgent notice-

Chapter 19: Canned Rosefish (19)

"A worker disappeared in the dormitory last night and his whereabouts are unknown, please pay attention to your safety and report any suspicious situation to the department head or security personnel as soon as possible."

The radio was broadcast three times in a row, and Mr. Lord next to him frowned and muttered, "This is the first time this has happened......

Qi Zhen pricked up his ears, for the first time?

According to the information of missing persons previously obtained in the guard room, there were frequent missing accidents in the factory, and the first time Mr. Lord said that he should have been referring to the radio announcement after the disappearance.

Qin Rang sighed, his face full of sympathy: "It seems that besides us, other employees also encountered monsters last night." ”

Qi Zhen: "The missing person is not necessarily attacked by a monster. ”

Qin Rang immediately looked at it vigilantly: "Eh, is there any other crisis triggering mechanism at night?" ”

"No," Qi continued, "according to the information we have before, the factory has workers who disappear almost every day, and this situation seems to be common in the local area, but this time the factory has issued an emergency notice on the radio, indicating that this disappearance is very different from the past." ”

The factory management apparently knew about the monsters at night, so they came up with the weird rules for lodging.

But at the same time, they deal with the disappearance of employees in a negative manner, even ignoring them.

Qi Ji guessed that the management was probably already aware of the whereabouts of the missing employees, but they were only in a position and allowed the disappearance to develop so far.
