Chapter 141 Don’t blame me for making trouble if I’m forced to work overtime

Time passed by minute by minute. Rong Zhen knew that this matter would not be hidden from Ji Yue, so she simply did not leave the scene.

After she had bandaged her injured colleague, she immediately ran out and yelled for help: "Help, someone's here! There's an accident! Someone's dead!"

Finally, someone in the other room was alarmed and came out to check what was going on.

Rongzhen quickly explained the whole story, confirming that she had really gone out to the toilet and accidentally encountered the accident.

After saying that, she anxiously asked everyone, "Does anyone here know first aid?"

Everyone who came out shook their heads, and many of them looked confused. They were all newcomers like her.

Some elderly people looked at each other, and they all knew what had happened, but apart from waiting for Ji Yue's staff to show up, they really could do nothing about it.

Seeing this, Rongzhen turned around and continued to knock on the door. In the end, she called almost everyone out before she found a female colleague who knew some first aid knowledge.

She went to the room where the accident happened and helped the injured person adjust the bandaging technique and position, successfully slowing down the blood flow. As long as he could get timely treatment, at least his life could be saved.

The newlyweds were happy to relax and took the opportunity to relax outside.

The elderly people who knew part of the inside story were not so optimistic. They all looked serious, with unconcealable anxiety and worry.

There were also some injured among them, but most of them were slightly injured, and no serious injuries such as losing arms or legs had occurred. However, they were not happy about this. Instead, they were deeply frightened when they thought of their colleagues who had disappeared one after another after suffering serious injuries in the past.

Those machines are all demons. Once they have tasted a large area of ​​human flesh and blood, they will only become more greedy and devour the person completely step by step!

But because they were threatened, they could not say it out loud, nor did they dare to say it out loud. They could only numbly look at the ignorant smiling faces of the newcomers, and endless despair grew from the bottom of their hearts.

After a few beeps of alarm, a chaotic sound of footsteps gradually came from outside, approaching quickly.

When Rongzhen heard the news, she thought it was the police and paramedics she had called who had arrived. In case anyone related to Ji Yue came with them, she immediately resumed her obedient appearance and prepared to deal with the expected interrogation.

She planned to fool Ji Yue as much as possible first, and then take the opportunity to contact the police to quietly reveal the abnormalities of this place to the police.

If the police were in cahoots with Ji Yue, her move would surely alert the enemy. Then she would secretly contact Sister Zhou and expose Ji Yue's murder.

However, the reality did not give her the opportunity to implement this worst-case scenario, because the police did not come at all, and the ambulance did not come. The only person who came was Ji Yue's so-called security team that was there to handle emergencies.

When the old employees saw them, their faces changed and they all went back to their rooms to continue working.

The new employees were standing outside watching the development of the situation as if to join in the fun.

Rongzhen didn't leave either. Only if she left would she become suspicious.

The security team split into three groups upon arrival. One group carried the injured away, another criticized and reprimanded the new employee who was not working properly and was wandering around. The last group came to Rong Zhen and questioned her in detail: "Tell me how you found out, and why did you run around during work hours?"

Given the other person's harsh tone, Rongzhen acted frightened and reserved, mumbling an honest answer: "I wasn't running around. I just had to go out to find a toilet. As I was new and unfamiliar with the area, I couldn't find one. When I passed by that room, I heard some noises and realized the door wasn't closed tightly. I pushed it open and saw him lying in a pool of blood..."

Everyone else also knew what happened afterwards, and they could all prove to her that she had only discovered it by accident and was just trying to save someone out of kindness.

As for the details that were concealed, only she knew them. As long as she refused to tell anyone, who would know?

Even so, she was interrogated over and over again.

In the end, perhaps unable to find any loopholes in her words, the security guard simply said, "Hand over your phone."

Rongzhen: “!”

Why didn't she think of it? She should have taken a photo or recorded a video as evidence.

But fortunately, I didn’t have any sudden inspiration at that time, otherwise it would be difficult to resolve the situation now.

At the urging of the security guard, she slowly and reluctantly took out her mobile phone, which was snatched away by the other party, and then she failed to get the power-on password.

Security guard: “…Open it!”

Rongzhen opened the password hesitantly, revealing an eye-popping yellow comic, the kind that was even more difficult for Yuanyuan to face.

This was something she had just thought of and specially prepared for them.

A small token of my appreciation, not a token of respect.

Security personnel: “?!!”

His face looked as if his worldview had been completely overturned, and he was doubting life and feeling disgusted, as if his eyes were polluted by garbage.

"You're looking at this kind of thing during work hours?!" The other person suppressed his nausea, looked through the memory card with disgust, and scolded in dissatisfaction.

Rongzhen shrugged, stammering, "The work is so, so dull, I need some spiritual nourishment."

You control everything in the world, but can you control people from reading pornographic comics?

Besides, compared to her insignificant matter, aren’t your lawless and harmful behaviors more serious?

The security guard couldn't hear her inner complaints. After checking her phone, he found nothing unusual, only the two most recent call records she had made. He smiled disdainfully and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business anymore. Just do your job."

The phone was confiscated afterward.

Rongzhen protested aggrievedly, "I only have this one phone. I'm so poor I'm practically eating dirt. I can't afford a second one. Can you please return it to me later?"

The security personnel ignored her, took notes and sent her back to the room to work. The other colleagues who were watching the show at the scene were also caught off guard.

The noisy corridor soon returned to silence, with only the humming sound of machines running in each room being heard from time to time.

Rongzhen closed the door, relaxed his tense and hunched shoulders, and slowly exhaled.

I don't know if I can get by with this, I hope so.

Rubbing her stiff and sore muscles, she pulled out another cell phone from under her tight clothes, feeling lucky that they didn't know she had a spare phone on her.

This is the old phone that the original owner's grandmother used before she passed away. It has been put away for several years, but it can still be used for basic functions such as making calls and sending text messages. She took it with her before going out just in case.

Sure enough, the mutant cat monster's instinct told her that her sixth sense was not wrong, so she put it to use.

The spare phone also recorded the contact information of Sister Zhou and others, and the notes were all affectionate names or references to them. Even if the original phone was taken away by the security personnel, it would not reveal her relationship with the people from the Abnormal Affairs Bureau.

The strange printing machine in the room shook violently a few times, reminding her not to just stand there and look at its great achievements during this period.

There was a pile of printed publications on the ground, and the exit was still constantly handling the output, much faster than manual operation.

Rong Zhen didn't believe that Ji Yue didn't realize that they had such a simple and labor-saving function, but he still hired someone to operate them at a high salary, and covered up the accident tightly. What was the purpose of this? It's terrifying to think about it.

I'm afraid that the things printed by this thing can bring big enough benefits, so they are willing to take risks and sacrifice human lives!

Capital is profit-driven. If there is 100% profit, they will dare to kill, burn and do all kinds of evil.

Rongzhen shuddered as she looked at the publications scattered on the floor.

It seems that even if the worst case scenario does not happen, she will still have to tell Sister Zhou and the others about the hidden tricks here. She cannot let Ji Yue continue like this and endanger more people.

Before that, she would collect some interest and look for an opportunity to get the treasure that attracted her.

"You're really hardworking. It's worthy of being a mature printing machine. It's much better than those in other rooms." Rong Zhen's eyes were cold, and he smiled as he praised the strange machine that was seeking credit.

The strange printing press suddenly worked harder.

Rongzhen picked up a printed magazine and looked through the contents, but didn't find anything wrong. It might only be effective on humans or specific groups of people, and useless to her, a mutating reserve cat monster.

At noon, the boss brought lunch boxes and informed them that the workload was heavy and some people would need to stay behind to work overtime at night. The company would arrange accommodation and triple overtime pay.

Old employees and a few newcomers are on the overtime list, including Rongzhen.

She suspected that she was added on purpose. Ji Yue still had doubts about her and wanted to detain her here to prevent the secret from being leaked.

In that case, she won't be polite tonight.

While they haven't realized my true intention yet, I'll catch them off guard and muddy the waters, making it easier for Sister Zhou and the others to arrive after receiving the news.

Therefore, Rongzhen did not show any resistance to the sudden overtime work. Instead, like the new employees who were left behind, she was happy about the triple overtime pay and flattered her boss with a smile from ear to ear.

The boss, flattered by the flattery, still tried to appease and warn, "What happened this morning was just an accident. It hasn't happened in years. The veterans know it best and have it figured out. You new guys, be careful and don't be rash and end up getting yourself into trouble."

What he said was profound and full of meaning, and it made people feel a chill when they heard it.

I didn't understand, but when I thought of the bloody scene I saw in the morning, my scalp tightened and I nodded repeatedly to assure him.

As a result, everyone acted more cautiously in the following time and rarely left the room. The corridor outside was silent and no one was walking around.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening. The people who stayed had already eaten dinner and were working hard in their rooms. Rong Zhen started to act and secretly disassembled a power socket, damaging the circuit inside to cause a circuit breaker to trip and cut off the power.

The result was naturally not as expected, and Ji Yue should have been prepared for this.

The machine is still running and the power supply is normal.

Rongzhen was not disappointed. If play A didn't work, she still had play B, play C, play D...

Next, she used the live and neutral wires in the socket to create sparks, which ignited the printed publications that were still warm.

When paper and ink are combined, sparks will ignite immediately and the fire will spread rapidly.

The naughty child, who was immersed in the adults' work, was stunned. Before he could react, he was surrounded by violent flames.

A sharp explosion sounded instantly from the machine. Rongzhen covered his ears and slipped away. Before leaving, he opened the door wide, letting the thick black smoke float out and stimulate the smoke alarm.

Beep, beep, beep—the shrill alarms rang out one after another.

Everyone ran out when they smelled the burning smell and saw that the corridor outside was covered with smoke. There were continuous sounds of coughing, running, and screaming, which was noisy and chaotic.

Rongzhen took advantage of the chaos to run past them and followed his instinct to touch the place where the treasure was.
