This violent, nonsensical girl is idly fiddling with her spear, her face showing an impatient expression.
In the extreme cold dungeon, her combat prowess left a deep impression on Xiao Jin.
At the time, she had two teammates with her. Deng Xing had helped Xiao Jin and Jian Yiqiu a lot when they were in the prison refugee camp.
Next up were two familiar faces.
Xu Qing, a mechanical fanatic, is somewhat sarcastic, but he and Xiao Jin work together quite well.
He was currently looking down at his mechanical watch, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings. Looking at it this way, Cui Mingyang, who was also observing the enemy's situation, seemed more reliable.
However, when Xiao Jin's gaze fell on the last person, her pupils suddenly contracted.
Xiao Bin?
Xiao Jin was shocked; she was absolutely certain she hadn't misread it.
The young man sitting in the corner was Xiao Bin, her half-brother.
The other person still had that arrogant demeanor. Upon closer inspection, he didn't resemble Xiao Jin at all, and he wasn't even as similar to Xiao Xin.
Xiao Bin is actually more like their father, Xiao Chengzhi.
At this moment, the other party had a shrewd look on their face, as if they were trying to determine the strength of the other players.
Little did they know that none of the players who had made it this far were fools; they had seen through his scrutiny.
"What a coincidence," Xiao Jin said, raising an eyebrow without making a sound.
She had just dealt with one, and the next one was already here. She didn't know whether to say she was lucky or that the Xiao family was having a run of bad luck.
However, Xiao Jin still did not want to reveal her identity in this instance, especially in front of Xiao Bin.
Besides these familiar faces, there were two unfamiliar players—one male and one female.
The man appeared to be around thirty years old, tall, with a somewhat fierce look on his face. The woman was a young woman in her early twenties, with delicate features, but her eyes held a hint of unease.
However, Xiao Jin was unsure how much of this unease was genuine and how much was feigned.
"Cough cough cough~"
Just then, Zhan Wenchen spoke first, drawing everyone's attention.
He smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we should be the only ones left in this instance world. Since we're going to spend seven days together, why don't we get to know each other? My name is Zhan Wenzhen."
"Hello, Cui Mingyang."
"Xu Qing."
"Xiao Bin".
"Nie Shuangshuang".
"Wen Jin".
"I am Wang Zhongyan, nice to meet you." Although he looks fierce, he has a surprisingly good personality.
The young girl responded rather coldly: "Wang Bing"
Wen Jin?
After listening, Zhan Wenzhen's first notice was of Xiao Jin. He raised his eyebrows slightly, but quickly regained his composure and didn't say anything more.
As for Xu Qing and Cui Mingyang, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened, so they accepted it quite quickly.
Xiao Bin merely glanced at Xiao Jin, seemingly finding her somewhat familiar, but he did not recognize her true identity.
Just after everyone finished their brief self-introductions, the system announcement that had been silent in their minds finally appeared.
This also signifies the official start of the survival game...
【drop!】
[World loading...]
[Type: Supernatural]
Main Quest: Survive for Seven Days. Reward: 6000 Points, 5 Enhancement Stones
[WARNING: Players must conceal their identity and must not reveal the content of the trial game to the natives. Violators will have points deducted.]
[The game has officially begun]
It really is a supernatural phenomenon.
Xiao Jin gently tapped her knee, her mind stirred, and her gaze drifted directly to the window.
Is this the Central Trade Building?
Huh!
When Xiao Jin glanced casually at a certain spot, her expression was one of utter astonishment, as if she had discovered something unexpected.
If she remembered correctly, she had been to the plaza downstairs just a few days ago. Yes, it was from the previous world.
Looking at the height of the building he was in, Xiao Jin was certain that this so-called Central Trade Building was none other than the Huanyu Building!
This is really...
Just then, a series of footsteps approached from afar. Everyone sat up straight, and Xiao Jin also put aside her thoughts. Then, a middle-aged man in a black suit pushed open the door and walked in.
He wore a professional smile, held a stack of documents in his hand, and was followed by a young man and a young woman.
"Everyone, welcome to Shuowei Financial." The middle-aged man began, "I am the Human Resources Manager, my surname is Chang. These two are my assistants, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang."
Xiao Jin's gaze swept over the three NPCs, and he found that the three of them looked perfectly normal, not at all like they were working in a haunted company.
But Xiao Jin felt something was off about calling them normal people.
"Next, I will process your onboarding procedures. Please read the contract carefully and sign it," Manager Chang said, distributing the documents to everyone.
Xiao Jin took the contract and quickly glanced at it.
The contract seemed normal, consisting of job responsibilities and salary terms. Even though she had seen it once before, Xiao Jin still found it somewhat baffling.
Clearly, Xu Qing thought the same thing.
Xiao Jin even clearly heard a cold laugh from his mouth.
However, when she turned to the last page, she found several lines of "special terms" marked in red:
1. You must not leave your workstation after midnight.
2. Check in on time. The check-in time is from 11:55 pm to 12:00 am and from 5:55 am to 6:00 am.
3. Workers are not allowed to return to their workstations during the day.
4. Do not talk to unfamiliar staff members, especially those wearing red.
5. If you hear strange noises in the building, do not respond or try to find the source of the noise.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jin frowned slightly. These terms were clearly not the kind of regulations that ordinary companies should have, but rather some kind of "strange rule-like" hint.
"Please read carefully and sign the contract." Manager Chang's voice rang out again, interrupting Xiao Jin's thoughts.
Without hesitation, Xiao Jin quickly signed her pseudonym, "Wen Jin," on the contract.
Since Xiao Bin is here, I will continue to use a fake name in this instance.
Tsk~ It seems I won't be able to use this name again after the dungeon ends!
Everyone signed their names in turn, waiting for Manager Chang to take the contracts away.
Next, Manager Chang distributed room cards, meal cards, and work badges to everyone. The work badges had their names and positions printed on them. Xiao Jin's work badge read: "Night Shift Staff - Wen Jin".
"Next, I'll show everyone around the building," Manager Chang said, turning and walking out of the office.
Seeing this, the group exchanged glances, then got up and followed him.
Stepping out of the office, there is a long corridor ahead, with photos of past employees hanging on the walls on both sides.
The black and white ID photos, in all sizes, look like funeral portraits.
