Chapter 415 [(*^▽^*)]

Wang Fu quickly calmed himself down. "Since they're unwilling, then forget it. We're not the kind of people who have to beg for help. Our strength speaks for itself; we don't need their assistance!"

Zhou Qiao: "What's wrong, Captain? It's rare to see you angry!"

Wang Fu sighed deeply, "Alright, let's not talk about them anymore. Let's just mind our own business. By the way, do you guys want to take advantage of the time we still have to go find some ordinary ghosts to kill?"

Xue Rui shook his head, "While we still have some time, we plan to find a place to get some sleep. After all, there's still a tough battle to fight, and nobody knows what the elite monster will become in the last four hours."

Wang Fu thought about it and agreed. "In that case, let's take a good rest for the last hour or so. By the way, there's a rest room over there. Do you want to lie down and take a nap?"

Sichuan pepper: "I agree. Since I came to this instance, I haven't slept much, and I haven't even taken a shower. Of course, everything refreshes at six o'clock every morning, and I'm clean, but I still feel very dirty."

Fang Hong, "Shall we go to the lounge to take a shower later?"

Huajiao shook her head, "No, no, taking a shower is too much of a waste of time. I'd rather get a good night's sleep and take a nice, relaxing bath when I get home after the dungeon is over."

Fang Hong: "That's true. We don't have enough time to rest anyway, and it takes a lot of time for girls to take a shower, so we might as well not shower at all. We'll be clean anyway."

After arriving at the break room, they even set an alarm to wake up ten minutes early, which was enough time for them to get back to their work stations.

Seeing that they were resting, Xue Rui slowly got up and said, "You guys rest first, I'll go out and make some arrangements."

Wang Fu, "What's there to decorate?"

Xue Rui said, "I have a bad feeling. Don't ask me, I can't explain it. I just feel like something's going to go wrong. You guys should rest first. I won't feel at ease if I don't go and make some arrangements."

Wang Fu had already lain down, but after hearing what he said, he felt very uncomfortable. "I didn't feel anything at first, but after you said that, I feel itchy inside. Well, I'll go and make some preparations so that I won't be caught off guard later."

Since both of their captains had made such preparations, their team members naturally couldn't fall behind. Everyone went, and when they finished, they found that there were only 45 minutes left until 2 o'clock. There was definitely no time to go to sleep now, so they could only go back to their seats and lie down to sleep.

Xue Rui rubbed his stomach. He seemed to have eaten a bit too much, but it was okay, he would digest it soon. He sat on the chair, and although he was lying face down to sleep, he was not really asleep.

In the previous rest room, he could take a nap because his teammates were there, but it was different here; he was all alone.

Another employee hadn't returned yet, probably still in the staff canteen. To avoid any unexpected delays, Xue Rui and the others went back to their seats early.

It was almost two o'clock when Xue Rui sat up slightly and stared blankly at the computer screen in front of her. To be honest, even an intern who had just joined the company could do the job very well.

All of these were the most basic and simplest tasks, so Xue Rui felt no pressure doing them at all.

His hands unconsciously rested on the keyboard, and just as he was about to type, he suddenly felt something behind him.

While using a mechanical spider hidden in the corner of the office to observe the situation, he continued typing on the keyboard without making a sound, appearing as if he were working diligently.

Behind him was none other than the elite monster that he and Wang Fu had discovered on the rooftop using surveillance equipment. Unexpectedly, this elite monster appeared behind him the moment it struck two o'clock!

The chat group definitely can't be opened; we can only wait until she leaves.

At this moment, the employee who shares an office with Xue Rui should also be back... huh?!

He glanced in that direction out of the corner of his eye, but couldn't find the employee. Where did he go? Was he killed for violating the rules?

That can't be right. Could it be that he was killed by other ordinary ghosts during those two hours of free time? That's incredibly unlucky!

After working like this for ten minutes, the elite genius slowly turned around, walked out of the door step by step, and then the sound of his high heels gradually faded away and disappeared into the distance of the corridor.

Xue Rui then opened the chat group and told everyone what had just happened. A few minutes later, Huajiao said that the elite monster had appeared behind her and had just left.

Xue Rui: "Everyone, be careful! The elite monsters might silently move to various places to check on your work and see if you've violated any rules. Now is not the time to break any rules!"

Everyone knew the importance of the situation and said they understood. Next, the elite monster appeared on Ding Baishuang's side, the fourth was Zhou Feng, and the last was Fang Hong.

After the five of them had gone through their turn, the elite monster did not reappear in their field of vision.

Zhou Feng: "Captain, you said before that you had a bad feeling, and now I do too."

Sichuan peppercorn: "Are you kidding? I have one too! This elite monster teleported without making a sound. If the captain hadn't just said in the chat group that I should temporarily close the chat group just in case, she would have appeared behind me in the next moment. You know what 'limit' means? Limit!"

Zhou Feng, "You're so lucky."

Sichuan peppercorn: "You're right! My heart is pounding. If I'm really judged to have violated the rules, I definitely won't be able to escape. How can I run away when we're this close?"

Fang Hong: "The elite monster must have gone somewhere else. Did anyone see it on their surveillance equipment?"

Everyone checked their surveillance equipment, but found nothing.

Xue Rui: "She should still be teleporting right now, so don't go looking for her. You'll find out when the time is right. But are your other employees still there?"

Sichuan peppercorns, "The ones on my side are definitely gone."

The ordinary ghosts on her side have already been eaten by elite monsters because they violated the rules.

As it turned out, all three of them said the same thing, except for her.

At this point, the five of them realized something was wrong. All the other ordinary employees from the same place had disappeared. What was going on?

Xue Rui asked, "Did all the ordinary employees break the rules? Or were they all eaten by ordinary ghosts?"

"We can use the surveillance equipment to try and find other employees," said Hua Jiao.

After searching all the surveillance equipment, they found nothing, but all twenty-one players were still there. Of course, the players who had been hiding before did not appear, which is normal.

They don't even know whether the player is still hiding or has already fallen victim to an elite monster.

They suddenly felt a chill run down their spines. From the first floor to the 42nd floor, there were only the twenty-one players left in the entire company. Everyone else had disappeared, whether they were ordinary employees or NPCs or ordinary ghosts. They hadn't even seen any corpses!

Then there are the two elite monsters sleeping on the 43rd floor, and other elite monsters that can teleport anywhere in the company. I wonder if other teams have noticed this.

Xue Rui controlled his mechanical spider to go to the staff cafeteria. He didn't find anyone there, but he did see some bloodstains on the ground. It looked like someone had been sitting in a chair and was attacked from behind without knowing what was happening, and then died.

After the death, the body was dragged away, leaving some faint bloodstains and drag marks on the ground. It seems that someone dragged the body away, probably an elite monster.

Only elite monsters can teleport behind others, and ordinary ghosts don't appear where elite monsters are, but now even ordinary ghosts have disappeared, which is very strange.

Xue Rui squinted at the computer screen, seemingly trying to read the content, but if you looked closely, you could see that his eyes were not focused.

His attention, vision, and hearing were all focused on his monitoring device. He wanted to control his device once again to look inside through the glass on the rooftop.

When he went up with Wang Fu before, he didn't retrieve the mechanical spider he used, but left it on the outer wall of the top floor, just for now.

I wonder if Wang Fu has retrieved that prop yet.

A small mechanical spider was carefully crawling on the exterior wall of the top floor. The howling wind carrying black mist made the little spider look even more pitiful.

It looked as if it would be swept away by the wind at any moment, but it clung firmly to the wall and came to the window again. Looking inside, it was still as clean as ever.

There was no one in the office, and the BOSS was nowhere to be seen. Naturally, the elite monsters were not here either. The corridor was also empty, with nothing in it, not even a trace of blood.

In other words, the elite monsters weren't hiding here; all the ordinary employees were dead, and the people working in the staff canteen kitchen had also disappeared.

Xue Rui had a bad feeling. What was going on? There should be ghosts disguised as employees among the ordinary employees. Were all these ghosts dead?

Or are the ordinary ghosts hiding somewhere? They must be afraid of being eaten by elite monsters, right?

Xue Rui sent a message in the chat group, "Has anyone spotted anyone other than the players?"

Everyone answered no. They had checked every corner of the entire building, and apart from the occasional eerie figure lurking in a corner and staring at people, there was no one else.

Of course, aside from the two elite monsters on the 43rd floor, and the BOSS who may or may not be on the top floor.

Xue Rui casually clicked the mouse a couple of times. He had checked everything on the computer, but apart from the work-related information, there was nothing useful.

Moreover, these tasks are of no value; they are just the most ordinary tasks used to waste time.
