Xiao Jin struggled for over a decade in the apocalypse before perishing with the Zombie King. To her surprise, she woke up, reborn into a world without zombies.
Before she could even bother w...
Xiao Bin sneered from the side, his tone full of sarcasm: "A bad teammate is a bad teammate. They almost killed all of us."
"What did you say?" Wang Bing suddenly raised her head, a flash of anger in her eyes: "Aren't you just as useless? If I hadn't accidentally shielded you, you would be dead by now!"
Nie Shuangshuang said she could do it, after all, the other party had indeed suffered a lot of losses, but who did he think he was?
"You—" Xiao Bin's face turned ashen instantly. He was about to lash out when Zhan Wenzhen interrupted him.
"Enough." Zhan Wenzhen pushed up his glasses, his tone calm but unable to hide his impatience: "If you want to argue, then argue whenever you want, I don't care how loud you are."
But the work for tonight isn't finished yet, so I'll ask you one question: are the documents you have complete?
Hearing this, Wang Zhongyan nodded: "Complete. We carefully put the documents away when we went upstairs, and they were not damaged."
"That's good." Zhan Wenchen breathed a sigh of relief; he was reliable enough.
With this interruption, the two of them couldn't even start arguing anymore!
After composing themselves, everyone went to the office door. It was two minutes to four o'clock. Xu Qing took a mechanical spider out of his pocket and gently placed it on the ground.
“Let’s investigate first,” he said in a low voice, his fingers moving rapidly across his wristwatch.
The mechanical spider swiftly crawled through the crack in the door and vanished into the darkness in an instant.
However, a real-time image appeared on Xu Qing's wristwatch, showing the scene inside the office.
The room was spacious, with a huge desk in front of it, on which sat an exquisite pendulum clock. Several oil paintings hung on the walls, and everything seemed normal.
“Nothing unusual,” Xu Qing said in a low voice, but as soon as he finished speaking, the image suddenly blurred and then went completely black.
"What's going on?" Zhan Wenzhen asked, frowning.
"The signal is lost." Xu Qing's expression turned serious. "All the mechanical spiders have lost contact."
Just then, the hands of the wall clock pointed to four o'clock. The office door suddenly clicked open automatically.
"Don't think about it anymore, let's go in first," Cui Mingyang said in a low voice.
You can't see anything from this angle, and it's easier to trigger what's inside!
Just then, Xiao Jin stopped Zhan Wenchen, who was about to step forward, and said, "Let me do it!" He then pushed open the door and entered first.
Zhan Wenchen paused for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
The group followed Xiao Jin into the office and found that the lights were on and the pendulum clock on the desk was ticking regularly.
“This is…” Her gaze swept over the patterns on the clock face, and she suddenly remembered the restaurant decorations in the horror park. Those twisted vines and eerie smiling faces were exactly the same as the pendulum clock in front of her.
"I see," she murmured, suddenly understanding. This company must be related to the horror theme park; no wonder they sent me a job offer.
The group placed the documents on the desk one by one, and the whole process went exceptionally smoothly without any unexpected incidents. Just as they were about to leave, filled with doubt, Cui Mingyang suddenly stopped.
“Look…that mirror,” he said softly, a hint of doubt in his voice.
Xiao Jin followed his gaze and discovered that a huge mirror had appeared on the wall at some point. The frame was carved with intricate patterns, but the mirror surface was unusually blurry, as if covered by a layer of mist.
"Was there... this mirror just now?" Xu Qing asked, frowning, clearly sensing something was wrong. "Alright, let's go." The more eerie it is, the less we should investigate further.
Everyone left the office.
Cui Mingyang did not answer; his gaze was fixed on the mirror, as if he were attracted by something.
A moment later, the image in the mirror gradually became clear before his eyes, revealing a dark forest with twisted trees like ghostly shadows and the ground covered with the claw marks of wild beasts.
"This is... a survival game on a deserted island?" Cui Mingyang's voice trembled, his eyes filled with fear.
In the mirror, he saw himself surrounded by a pack of wild beasts, their fangs and claws gleaming coldly in the moonlight. It was his deepest fear, the nightmare he least wanted to recall.
In the island survival scenario, Cui Mingyang failed to arrive at the safe house on time at night and was forced to hide from wild beasts in the dark.
"No...don't come any closer!" Cui Mingyang suddenly took a step back, his face as pale as paper.
Run, run! I need to get out of here right now.
"Cui Mingyang!" Xiao Jin was the first to notice something was wrong. She quickly turned around and found that Cui Mingyang's eyes were lifeless. He had already stepped out of the window and was about to jump.
"Damn it!" Xiao Jin cursed under his breath, rushed over, grabbed Cui Mingyang by the collar, and pulled him back.
"Get out of my way!" Cui Mingyang struggled frantically, even throwing punches at Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin had no choice but to increase the force, pressing him to the ground while coldly saying, "Calm down! It's an illusion!"
"There's something wrong with the mirror!" Xu Qing reacted quickly, pulling a silver badge from his pocket and holding it in front of him. The badge emitted a faint light, blocking the mirror's illusion.
"Smash it!" Zhan Wenchen said in a low voice, a cold glint in his eyes.
Without hesitation, Xu Qing quickly pulled out a small mechanical device, aimed it at the mirror, and pulled the trigger. A laser beam shot out, and the mirror shattered instantly, scattering fragments all over the ground.
The moment the mirror shattered, Cui Mingyang's struggles gradually ceased, and the fear in his eyes slowly dissipated. He was panting heavily, his face still pale, but he had regained his composure.
