As night fell, the corridors became dim and narrow, and a musty smell filled the air.
37 floors.
Zhan Wenzhen walked in front, his props ready to be thrown at any moment, with Wang Zhongyan standing beside him, equally vigilant.
Xiao Bin hid behind the two men, holding a long sword in his hand, looking tense.
“Manager Zhang’s office is at the end of the corridor,” Wang Zhongyan said in a low voice, his voice trembling slightly.
"Don't be nervous." Xiao Bin sneered, "It's just a vengeful ghost, it's not like we haven't seen them before."
Wang Zhongyan secretly rolled his eyes, thinking, "If you're not nervous, why don't you go first?" Zhan Wenzhen, standing to the side, remained silent with a smile.
The three of them soon reached the end of the corridor.
Manager Zhang's office is easy to find; the door is ajar, and only the inside of the building has light.
Just then, the three of them suddenly heard a low sobbing sound coming from inside.
What's going on?
Wang Zhongyan was very surprised. Has it already begun?
But then he saw something that blew him away.
Suddenly, Xiao Bin, who had been hiding in the back, seemed to find the courage to push past the two men and kick open the office door.
“You…” Wang Zhongyan’s eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could slap the other person to death.
Not to mention him, even Zhan Wenchen was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what had happened, he sighed and rubbed his forehead.
Sure enough, the dogs that bite don't bark; he was still too inexperienced.
But Xiao Bin still said with a straight face, "If you keep dawdling, when will you ever find the receipts? Since we're going to go in anyway, wouldn't it be better to just get straight to the point?"
You big dummy!
Wang Zhongyan's expression was distorted.
"bill……"
At that moment, a hoarse murmur drifted out from inside the door.
The three of them glanced over reflexively.
Inside the office, a man in a suit stood with his back to them, his shoulders trembling slightly, as if he were crying.
Hearing the door being kicked open, the man slowly turned around.
His face had no features, only a gaping maw stretched to his ears, revealing gleaming white teeth.
"Welcome... to your death..." Manager Zhang's voice was hoarse and cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.
"Holy crap!" This scene was truly horrifying.
Xiao Bin and Wang Zhongyan shuddered. Wang Zhongyan instinctively threw the prop in his hand, aiming straight for Manager Zhang's head. The huge wrench spun in the air, making a "whooshing" sound.
Manager Zhang suddenly vanished, the wrench slamming against the wall with a loud bang. The next second, Manager Zhang reappeared behind Zhan Wenzhen, his gaping maw aimed straight for his neck.
"Watch out!" Wang Zhongyan shouted, quickly took out another weapon and thrust it straight at Manager Zhang's side waist.
Manager Zhang disappeared again, and the prop missed its mark.
Zhan Wenzhen had already turned around quickly, and at the same time took out a small bomb from his pocket and threw it directly at Manager Zhang.
"Boom!" The bomb exploded, sending sparks flying. Manager Zhang's figure was blown to pieces, but it quickly reformed as if he hadn't been hurt at all.
"Another one that's impossible to kill?" Wang Zhongyan frowned slightly.
“No, he has a weakness.” Zhan Wenzhen sneered and pulled a strange device from his pocket.
He pressed the button, and the device emitted a piercing sound wave, causing Manager Zhang's figure to freeze for a moment.
"Now! Attack its work badge!" Zhan Wenzhen shouted.
Following Zhan Wenzhen's words, Wang Zhongyan and Xiao Bin noticed the work badge hanging on Manager Zhang's chest, which featured a blank white face.
Although they didn't know his reasoning, the two still took action.
While Manager Zhang was unable to move, the two men used their props to repeatedly strike Manager Zhang's work ID.
"Look!" Wang Zhongyan exclaimed with delight.
As his work permit was damaged, Manager Zhang's body was rapidly collapsing, and in an instant, he turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into the air.
"Done." Xiao Bin straightened up and walked out from the side, his face full of an expression of 'it's nothing special'.
This time, Wang Zhongyan didn't want to pay any attention to him. He bent down and picked up a yellowed receipt from the ground.
"I got the item!"
But when he turned his head, he saw Zhan Wenchen's serious expression.
Wang Zhongyan was taken aback: "Is there anything else?"
"Isn't everything... going a little too smoothly?" Zhan Wenchen replied seriously.
………………
The corridor on the 40th floor was more eerie than that on the 37th floor, perhaps due to the difference in floor height, making it appear darker.
Cui Mingyang walked ahead, a finely crafted pistol in his hand, the muzzle slightly lowered, ready to fire at any moment. Nie Xinxin followed behind him, a long gun slung over her shoulder, her expression relaxed.
As a survival player who is constantly in danger, how could she possibly only have one weapon?
“Manager Li’s office isn’t far.” After saying that, Cui Mingyang looked at Wang Bing, who was extremely nervous behind him: “Just relax. Being too tense will only make you make mistakes.”
"Hmm." It has to be said that Cui Mingyang is a very gentle person.
Faced with such a smile, Wang Bing did relax a lot, but her eyes still flickered when she looked at Nie Xinxin.
As the three walked, they came to the middle of the corridor. The door in front of them was closed, and a low humming sound came from inside.
Listen closely, and the sound seems to come from the abyss, carrying a chilling aura that sends shivers down your spine.
Cui Mingyang stood in front of the door and knocked gently: "Hello Manager Zhang, we are night shift staff, here to pick up the receipts, may we come in?"
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, no one answered.
They had no choice but to push the door open and go inside.
Before going in, Cui Mingyang gave Nie Shuangshuang a look, and Nie Shuangshuang understood immediately, raising her spear and taking a few steps back.
"Squeak~"
The door opened, revealing a dark office. The three of them immediately spotted an old-fashioned gramophone slowly turning in the corner, and the music was coming from there.
"Manager Li?" Cui Mingyang called out again.
Suddenly, the music from the gramophone stopped abruptly, and a woman in a cheongsam slowly emerged from the darkness.
She wore a strange smile and held a sharp pair of scissors in her hand.
"Are you... here to play with me?" Manager Li's voice was sweet yet chilling, as if it came from the depths of hell: "Come in quickly, let's listen to some music together!"
"Play with you?" Nie Xinxin sneered, and suddenly thrust out her spear, aiming straight for Manager Li's chest.
Manager Li was prepared; she extended her scissors to block, the blade instantly pressing against the gun's tip. Then she flung the gun aside, and the scissors aimed straight for Nie Shuangshuang's neck.
Meanwhile, Cui Mingyang also made a move.
He fired quickly, and the bullet struck Manager Li's arm precisely.
