Special Rewards
Lu Miao first carried the extra reward foam box back to the dormitory, and then handed in another reward of fresh food. After completing the mental evaluation, she dragged her exhausted body back to the dormitory again.
As soon as she entered the room, she found something new on the coffee table.
A warm yellow greeting card.
Her lifeless eyes suddenly emitted a cold gaze, and she seriously checked the corners of the hall where people might be hiding.
The dormitory is decorated in a very simple style. Apart from the furniture, there are no extra decorations, and almost every corner is clearly visible.
She gripped the gun handle at her waist and slowly approached the coffee table.
To Lu Miao
The solid color cover of the greeting card is written in bright red and glittering gold fine circular fonts.
Lu Miao still cautiously pulled out the gun and opened the greeting card with the muzzle of the gun.
The exact same text reads:
Dear Miss Lu Miao:
This is the second extra bonus - a blessing card, wishing you good health!
(Burn after reading)
No signature.
In the blink of an eye, the greeting card was burned by the invisible flame and gradually turned into ash. Soon, only a patch of black ash remained on the coffee table.
When Lu Miao was surprised, he suddenly felt refreshed, all his fatigue was gone, and even his stomach, which was often uncomfortable, seemed to be relieved of a burden.
She took a deep breath.
Lung capacity increases.
The whole body feels unobstructed.
Very comfortable.
Now she can do a hundred push-ups without any problem.
Shocked, she put away her pistol and cleaned up the ashes.
This time, she had to support the "supernatural master" school of thought.
Then she took out the foam box of this extra reward from the refrigerator and peeled off the pink heart-shaped sticky note.
As soon as she opened the lid, she was shocked.
The amount of fresh ingredients was half of the last extra reward, but there were many more instant and nutritious lunch boxes, with the brand names blurred out.
Lu Miao first took out a box of self-heating baked rice and checked the ingredient list.
Ingredients: Rice: organic rice, purified water;
Curry shrimp seafood bun: handmade secret curry sauce, tiger shrimp, squid, broccoli, vegetable cubes, olive oil, cheese, apple juice...
The production date is March this year, which is this month.
Shelf life is 3 months.
Product standard number, food production license number, place of origin and other information are all blurred.
Below is also a bucket of nutritious instant noodles, a box of self-heating hot pot and a box of self-heating stewed rice.
The colors of their packaging are almost the same, so she guessed they were from the same food company.
The packaging picture of the self-heating baked rice was too tempting. It was past eight o'clock in the evening and she hadn't had time for dinner yet, so she couldn't help but feel greedy.
She decided to eat it.
Since Lu Miao had never eaten self-heating rice, she opened her laptop and went online to look up how to eat it.
"...put the rice in and then the vegetable dumplings..." She followed the instructions on the Internet seriously, just like a student in a chemistry class. "And the curry dumplings...put the heating pad at the bottom of the tray and add water..."
Deer Seedling, with a frown on his face, slowly poured water into it, flooding the heating pack.
Finally, she carefully covered the lid and waited fifteen minutes before eating.
So nervous, it was her first time eating curry and seafood.
While waiting, she searched the Internet for information about self-heating meals.
It turns out that self-heating rice is a convenience food from the last century, convenient for fat people and those who are too lazy to cook.
In this century, even eating a vegetable has become a problem. Food factories are only allowed to produce nutritional supplements and processed meat, resulting in convenience foods such as instant noodles, self-heating rice, and self-heating hot pot becoming history.
Lu Miao laughed at himself.
People in today's upper class prefer freshly cooked dishes and do not care about convenient fast food.
There is only one conclusion: these fast foods are not from the modern era.
"Maybe it's not from this world either." She held up her chin and looked at the curry shrimp rice that was almost heated up.
After taking the first bite of the fragrant curry and sweet tiger prawns, Lu Miao's eyes lit up and he threw away his doubts that the food was "not from the contemporary era" and "not from this world".
As long as it tastes good, it doesn’t matter where it comes from.
I have to say, the texture of the curry and the sweetness of the seafood are no different from those made with fresh ingredients.
The plate was cleared and she didn't allow a single grain of rice to be left behind.
Lu Miao sat down comfortably.
The first taste of satisfaction.
After having eaten her fill, she began to review her gains in this strange story field and leisurely took out the ball of paper from her pocket.
This time the text was in plain black, with the handwritten font being a bit sloppy.
Item No.: BEB-072
Interviewer: Reporter R
Interviewee: Dr. Rayner
Interview Log
R: Dr. Renner, please introduce yourself.
Dr. Reiner: Okay. My name is ███.Reiner, from ███████ Co., Ltd., responsible for the observation and experimentation of BEB-072.
R: What stage is this project at?
Dr. Renner: Observation and experimentation go hand in hand, and we see great potential in BEB-072.
R: Can you talk about it in detail?
Dr. Reina: Where should I start? Let me start from the beginning. BEB-072 belongs to the phylum Nematoda, a microscopic parasite. Its genus can cause diseases such as lymphatic filariasis once it parasitizes the human body.
R: The same genus? BEB-072 is not a filarial worm?
Dr. Reina: Not really. BEB-072 comes from the blockade area of the "poison gas leak incident" and its genes have mutated to some extent. After parasitizing the host, it will attack the host, and then grow independently with the host's genes and adapt to the environment. Today, the BEB-072 we observed has grown to 0.86 kilometers long.
R: Oh my god! It's horrible! We need to use the lake to contain it.
Dr. Renner: Yes, it is scary and amazing! What is even more amazing is that it will eat the creatures in the lake and imitate the sounds of the creatures. For example, if it eats a dolphin, it can make the same cute sounds as the dolphin.
R: Well, just listening to the sound is quite cute.
Dr. Reina: Haha, it has something even more amazing! It can ■■■■■■■, just like the great Hera! We even extracted very active cells from its serum, and we believe it can save all of humanity!
This is the end of the interview log.
The crumpled white paper spontaneously combusted without fire, and Lu Miao quickly threw it to the ground.
In the end, the white paper turned into ashes.
Lu Miao swept away the ashes and closed the laptop.
She had no interest in knowing the origins of the field of ghost stories.
Now she just wanted to finish writing the mission report, then take a shower and go to bed.
Late at night, a thin crescent moon hangs in the night sky, and the cold moonlight pours into the bedroom.
Lu Miao sent the mission report to Lu Xingyang's email address.
Ding Ding——
There is new message on WeChat.
It’s Si Lan.
[Mr. Si]: Good evening, Ms. Lu. I hope I didn’t disturb your rest.
[Deer]: No
[Mr. Si]: ^_^
[Mr. Si]: What color does Miss Lu like?
[Deer]: Except for red
At this time, Si Lan recommended a classical harp piece to her.
[Mr. Si]: I think this piece of music, “Harp Concerto in B flat major” is good. I recommend it to you^_^
Lu Miao was already lying on the bed, with his legs crossed leisurely, listening to music with headphones on.
[Lu]: Do you like classical music too?
[Mr. Si]: I listen to it when I’m stressed at work.
[Deer]: The sound of the harp is very nice, thank you.
In return, she recommended him a famous classical piece "Snow Fantasy".
［Lu］：This song also relieves stress
Si Lan replied after a while.
[Mr. Si]: It’s beautiful. I heard the voice of longing.
When Lu Miao saw the reply pop-up, he paused with his thumb scrolling through the webpage.
[Deer]: It's late. Go to bed early. Good evening.
[Mr. Si]: Good night, Miss Lu.
The lights in the dormitory were off. A black cell phone lay next to the pillow. Lu Miao rested his elbow on his closed eyes, seeming to be half asleep.
A dim night light kept her company.
She had a mess of dreams all night long. She dreamed of being chased by a giant bug, and occasionally heard that feminine chuckle in her dream.
Where have I heard that bewitching voice before?
At six o'clock in the morning, the morning light brought the morning glow.
Her cell phone kept vibrating, waking her up.
She looked at her phone sleepily.
It turned out to be new news from the penguin group.
The creepy chill drove away her sleepiness, and she sat up suddenly, looking at the phone surrounded by a circle of red light.
Her cell phone has turned into a ghost story area!
No wonder.
She had never installed the Penguin messaging software.
First of all, she opened the Penguin group where new messages popped up.
Group name: Night Owl House (167)
"167 group members?" She was stunned.
The group is temporarily in a state where all members are banned from speaking.
[Group owner]: Hello everyone, I am the group owner of "Night Owl House", you can call me Reina.
[Group owner]: Now I am publishing the group rules of "Night Owl House". Please read them carefully and strictly abide by them.

11 group rules, not too long.
The purple, thin, round font is more eye-catching than the ordinary black font.
Lu Miao quickly browsed through the list of group members and found that all 167 people were online.
She clicked to check her group nickname, but couldn't change it, so she had to remember it.
Group nickname: Xiaocao Fangfang
The avatar is a green succulent plant, quite cute.
It's not even 8 o'clock yet, so the group chat is not open.
She took out the leftovers from the day before from the refrigerator to make noodles, then hurriedly called Lu Xingyang and two team members to get up.
Half an hour later, in the Ghost Story Investigation Department 2, Lu Xingyang's office.
The three of them first carefully studied the mobile phone emitting a faint red light, and then frowned as they pondered the 11 group rules.
Lu Xingyang announced solemnly: "It's confirmed. This is a strange story that I have never seen before. Miaomiao, has your dormitory ever had a power outage?"
"No. Three days ago, when we entered Qingshui Apartment, there was no power outage."
Every time the strange story field came, there was a power outage at midnight three days ago, which lasted for a day. At midnight that day, she was still sleeping in the dormitory with a night light on.
In the morning, the night light was not turned off, proving that there was no power outage.
Pop.
He snapped his fingers confidently. "Got it. This is a special ghost story area, with 167 invitees, and it's open. A special ghost story area without a power outage warning is most likely a 'mother-child' area. Unfortunately, based on past experience, the 'mother' area also doesn't have a power outage warning."
Wang Keke was horrified. "The captain's phone is a 'subdomain'?"
"It's likely."
He Pingan looked serious. "Captain, although my phone and Coco's phone haven't become a ghost story, if you need us, just tell us."
Lu Miao nodded. "Actually, I am concerned about one thing. Is this cracking within the scope of work?"
Lu Xingyang smiled cheerfully and said, "Of course. The points earned from cracking the special open-ended strange story field are very high. The end-of-season point counting will begin soon. Come on, Team Green."
The Fluorescent Green Team needs her.
She put away her phone without changing her expression, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
