At this time, in Kuiguang Building, the "Survival Room" program crew was in the director's room. The staff in charge of the night shift were watching the screen all the time, making real-time adjustments to the secret room based on the guests' behavior.
Before today, Kuiguang Group had never had a precedent of requiring people to work the night shift! The group also set a standard for this precedent - first of all, the workload of the night shift is the same as the morning shift, and it cannot exceed 8 hours a day.
The second issue is salary. As long as the employees work during non-normal working hours, even if the working hours remain the same, their salary will be three times that of the normal working hours! So a strange scene appeared in Kuiguang Group - it stands to reason that the night shift is not a popular job, but the registration office is overcrowded.
The competition is extremely intense, and not everyone can get this opportunity.
The employees who got this opportunity were full of energy and dared not do anything lazy or slack off, for fear of being removed for various reasons.
Ding ding ding…
Just when everyone was busy, the phone on the desk rang.
"Xiao Liu, go answer the phone!"
"Okay..."
"Who is calling us so late? Mr. Qin is not here, and we can't make decisions on many things."
There is only one chief planner, Qin Xin. He works during the day and is naturally forced to leave work at night.
Without Qin Xin's approval, many important decisions cannot be made by the night shift employees.
"Answer the call first and see what the other party wants to do. We will solve what we can. If we can't solve it, we will write it down and let President Qin see it tomorrow."
The employee called Xiao Liu has picked up the phone and said politely: "Hello, this is the "Escape Room Survival" program team of Kuiguang Group. How can I help you?"
Then, a familiar voice came from the other end of the line: "This is Yang Ruoqian, how is the food for the evening shift? Is there anything you need to order specially?"
Xiao Liu was so frightened that his hands started shaking and the telephone receiver almost fell to the ground.
"Mr. Yang... Mr. Yang! The food is very good... very good! Please wait a moment, I'll let the leader answer the phone!"
Mr. Yang?!
Everyone in the office was drawn to it.
The leader who originally asked Xiao Liu to answer the phone immediately stopped what he was doing, walked over in two steps, and signaled with his eyes that Xiao Liu should go to work first.
"Good evening, Mr. Yang. Have you not rested yet?"
"You're welcome." Yang Ruoqian chatted with people as usual, "How is the show going? Are the guests doing well?"
The temporary person in charge was very professional: "The time settings inside and outside the secret room are different, so it is not time for the guests to rest yet."
"There are still two guests who have not reached the safe zone and are waiting for rescue. However, judging from the current progress, they should be there soon."
"Our current plan is to group the guests into twos and have them stay in dormitories. We will then randomly arrange some events for them at night."
When we first divided the guests into groups, we formed a group with 2 male guests and 2 female guests to facilitate the allocation of dormitories.
Yang Ruoqian asked curiously, "Why are there two people in one dormitory? Is there not enough room?"
The temporary person in charge had a little cold sweat on his forehead: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang... Our office floor is very high. In order to facilitate the arrangement of special effects and props, the floor and walls are actually very thick."
"As long as we make the ceiling a little thinner somewhere, we can easily create an extra floor... This is the fourth floor hidden in the secret room."
"With such a large venue, there must be enough rooms."
Yang Ruoqian asked again: "Since there are enough rooms, why do we need two people to share a dormitory?"
The temporary person in charge was confused by this question: "Uh, Mr. Yang...because some random incidents will happen in the dormitory at night, two people can better handle these incidents and take care of each other."
"No, no, no, your thinking is wrong." Yang Ruoqian said in a serious tone, "You only see the surface, but not the core!"
Seeing that Mr. Yang, who is considered a legend in the industry, came to give him instructions in person, the temporary person in charge immediately said solemnly: "Core? Mr. Yang, can you explain it in more detail?"
While asking the question, he clamped the telephone receiver between his shoulder and neck, took out a pen and paper from his desk, and prepared to take careful notes.
What Mr. Yang said will definitely have a huge positive impact on future work! This is something that countless people can't hear even if they pay, but now they can listen to it for free! Yang Ruoqian said: "Have you checked the academic qualifications of the guests we invited?"
Educational background?
Does this have anything to do with academic qualifications?
Is it because of this unusual way of thinking that Mr. Yang is so successful?
The temporary person in charge was stunned for a moment, and became more convinced that he had too much to learn, so he said seriously: "I checked it all. The highest degree is a graduate student, and the lowest is a high school graduate who came out to work hard."
"That's right." Yang Ruoqian clapped his hands. "Think about it, these guests have at least experienced three years of high school life, and have experienced the days of eight people squeezed into a small room, waiting in line to use the toilet and take a shower."
"Some people who are unlucky may have had a lot of conflicts with their roommates. What are these? They are all painful memories."
"The guests have been frightened for a whole day and are already exhausted both physically and mentally. Don't make it difficult for them with regard to the number of people in the dormitory. How about this? Change it so that each person has a dormitory!"
"Who hasn't dreamed of having their own dormitory when they were studying? Today, the program team will help the guests realize this dream and make up for the regrets of their student days!"
The temporary person in charge, who was prepared to listen to the instructions, listened to Mr. Yang's speech with a confused look on his face. His hands, which wanted to take notes, seemed to be out of control and he couldn't write a single word.
In order to let the guests participating in the variety show make up for the regrets of their school days, they were all separated and placed in the dormitory, leaving them to face the crisis alone...
Uh, why does it sound so abstract and gibberish?
If someone else said this, the temporary person in charge would definitely scold him for talking nonsense, but the person who was talking to him now was Yang Ruoqian, the man who created the entire Kuiguang Group.
Mr. Yang is definitely not wrong, it's just that my level of understanding is not yet sufficient.
"Okay, Mr. Yang, we will arrange it according to your request." The temporary person in charge said, "Do you have any other requests?"
Yang Ruoqian thought about the comments on Leopard and decided to proceed step by step. He would adjust the layout based on the feedback after the second episode was aired. "Nothing for now. Let's arrange it this way for now."
"Okay, Mr. Yang, if you need live broadcast footage, we can synchronize it for you."
"Please record the video for me and send it to me."
"Then I'll send it to your work WeChat..."
“…”
…
In a secret room not far from the program crew, Shang Qianyu and others did not have the leisure time like Yang Ruoqian.
"You can come up now!"
Feng Luo's voice still echoed in the stairwell.
Just now, they asked Feng Luo to follow the footprints on the ground upstairs to eliminate them so that they could go up with him.
As a result...it was true that Feng Luo went upstairs and his footprints disappeared, but just when they were about to follow him upstairs and meet up with Feng Luo, a loud noise was heard.
When Zhang Wei led the other two upstairs, they only saw a sign marking the second floor and a long corridor.
As for Feng Luo... it was as if he had never appeared. No matter how they called him, there was no response.
"What's going on?" Shang Qianyu had never encountered such a weird thing before. She was so scared that her breath was a little unstable. "Didn't Sister Feng Luo just come here? Where is she?! This place can't be haunted, right?!"
They watched Feng Luo walk up this road with their own eyes, and they could even hear her talking not long ago...but just a dozen seconds later, she disappeared?!
This is really too weird!
Geng Fangyi swallowed his saliva and reminded: "Sister Feng Luo didn't bring a torch... The power of the flashlight in her hand may be used up."
“…What should we do then?”
"Let's explore the dormitory building first, and try to find Feng Luo."
"But we don't even know where Sister Feng Luo is right now! We have no clue at all!"
Zhang Wei shone the flashlight towards both ends of the corridor, and after making sure there was no danger, he said, "I think the NPCs in the safe zone will definitely not do anything without a purpose. Do you remember what the store owner said before you left?"
Shang Qianyu recalled: "He said... let us be careful about the fourth floor of the dormitory building?"
The three of them were silent for a moment.
After a while, Geng Fangyi looked around and said cautiously, "Could it be that Sister Feng Luo accidentally went to the fourth floor?"
"…It's almost certain." Zhang Wei said as he walked forward, "Let's find a safer dormitory to stay first, and then find a way to the fourth floor and rescue Feng Luo."
Zhang Wei has not forgotten his identity as an insider, but if he lets the team lose members now, it will not be good for him to pass the level.
At this stage, we still cannot give up on Feng Luo.
"But how do we find the fourth floor? It seems that we can't get to the fourth floor through normal means." Shang Qianyu glanced at the dark corridor and subconsciously took a step back.
"Let's find a safe dormitory first. I think it should be close to the corridor so that it is convenient for retreat, but not too close to avoid becoming the first target of attack. What do you think?"
Geng Fangyi nodded: "No problem... I just don't know what the dormitory rules are. If everyone can gather together, the danger will definitely be much smaller."
"Impossible." Zhang Wei walked to the door of a room, wrote down the house number "206", and shook his head. "You can see the grouping of the program team. At most two people are allowed to share a dormitory."
"I wonder if there's any way to visit the dormitory..."
"Let's first check if there's anything evil hidden in the dormitory. Otherwise, we won't be in danger again before others are saved." Zhang Wei took the flashlight and shone it into the room.
The three of them slowly searched the toilet and under the bed, and also removed dangerous items such as mirrors.
Before this, they had already witnessed the program crew's crazy behavior - if they could make a wall grow eyebrows and eyes, then it was not impossible to hide something behind the mirror.
"Ah, this is a double dormitory. That should be what I guessed, two people in one room. Geng Fangyi, take a picture of the ceiling..."
"Nothing. This dormitory should be relatively safe."
"Then lock the door first..."
At this moment, Shang Qianyu pointed to a rusty iron cabinet not far away and reminded: "We haven't searched the cabinet yet."
Geng Fangyi took a look at the cabinet and laughed dryly: "The size of this cabinet is so big that it can't fit an adult, not to mention a child. I don't think danger will come out of the cabinet..."
"Too……"
"Not necessarily." Zhang Wei touched his chin. "Under normal circumstances, there is definitely not enough space for people. But that is only a normal situation. We cannot use normal situations to speculate on this overly vicious secret room."
"Under normal circumstances?" Geng Fangyi and Shang Qianyu were both confused for a moment. "Could it be that under unusual circumstances, this cabinet could fit one person?"
"Well... think about it, if a person is crushed into paste using a machine, can it be poured into the cabinet like liquid?" Zhang Wei still stroked his chin and did a simple calculation with his fairly good knowledge of mathematics and physics.
“…”
As soon as these words were spoken, Shang Qianyu and Geng Fangyi looked over with shocked eyes.
Putting aside how Zhang Wei calculated whether a person in the minced meat state could be put into the cabinet, just this sentence itself and the environment they are in now are terrifying enough!
The secret room, which had not been so scary to begin with, suddenly became eerie.
Especially the cabinet that was not considered a threat...
After a few seconds, Shang Qianyu said in a trembling voice: "I'll unlock the door first, so that if there's anything wrong in the cabinet, I can run away immediately."
Geng Fangyi, who had made the least contribution and had a lower status among the three, hesitated for a moment before cautiously walking to the cabinet.
Click...
The cabinet doors were opened one by one...
Zhang Wei and Shang Qianyu, who were standing at the door, did not dare to blink and kept their eyes focused on the cabinet door.
The three of them didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the last cabinet door was opened and they saw that there was nothing inside.
"Sure enough... I was scaring myself."
"To be honest, the gap between these cabinet doors is so big that if there was glue, it would have already flowed all over the floor."
"The main reason is that the production team is too malicious, and we dare not not be on guard."
"Close the door quickly and let's discuss tactics."
Shang Qianyu, with all his attention focused on the cabinet, nodded and used a little force with his right hand to try to close the wooden door of the dormitory behind him.
However, Shang Qianyu pulled hard twice, but the wooden door remained motionless.
"What's going on..." Shang Qianyu turned his head curiously, "Is it stuck by something?"
Then she saw a bloody, pale arm tightly grasping the door handle.
A pair of empty eyes stared at her.
While the three of them were concentrating on the cabinet, an indescribable monster had quietly arrived at the dormitory door and came behind them! "Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Holy shit!!!" (End of this chapter)
