When they reached the 31st floor, Cen Yu left the elevator, and Li Chonghe inside waved to him.
After clocking in and walking to his workstation, Cen Yu discovered that the environment of this company was extremely similar to that of the first world.
He had just sat down when his messaging app suddenly received friend requests from strangers.
The verification message is simple—
Be careful of your roommate.
Cen Yu glanced at it and immediately accepted the person's friend request.
[Cen Yu: Who are you?]
[A kind person: A kind person.]
Cen Yu: Your name is written.
[Cen Yu: What did my roommate do?]
[Kind-hearted person: Don't you think there's something wrong with today's milk?]
Cen Yu thought to himself, "Of course there's a problem... The milk tastes a bit strange, with a slightly burnt and bitter flavor, so it's obviously not just spoiled."
[Kind-hearted person: Someone put something in your milk.]
[Cen Yu: How did you know?]
[Kind Person: I predicted it.]
Cen Yu: "...?"
[Cen Yu: You can tell fortunes?]
[Kind person: Hmm.]
[Cen Yu: Then help me figure out who's been following me lately.]
[Kind person: Okay.]
Cen Yu waited for five minutes.
[Cen Yu: Have you figured it out?]
[Kind person: All done.]
[Kind-hearted person: Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed.]
[Cen Yu:...]
Cen Yu: ? Are you kidding me? ? ? ?
[Kind Person: Anyway, your roommate is acting strange.]
[Cen Yu: I have three roommates, which one do you think is off?]
[A kind-hearted person: Something's not right!]
Cen Yu: "..."
So all his roommates were awful?!
Cen Yu sat in front of the computer, staring at the screen without saying a word... To make himself appear to be working, he even put on a thoughtful expression.
It wasn't until someone walked over and tapped him on the shoulder that he heard, "Starting to put on airs so early in the morning?"
Cen Yu turned his head, and information about this person appeared in his mind—
His work partner, Xiao Wang.
“Look,” Cen Yu said, turning away from the computer screen, “This morning, someone messaged me saying that my roommate is acting strangely.”
When Xiao Wang saw the milk, he immediately pulled out a chair and said, "You think there's something wrong with the milk?"
“Yes,” Cen Yu said, “there’s an indescribable burnt smell.”
Xiao Wang pondered for a moment, "You said someone has been following you recently."
Cen Yu didn't know either; that's what the system said.
"Oh right, I was just about to look for you." Xiao Wang suddenly remembered his business. "The company closes at 5 p.m. this week, so I'll go home early."
Cen Yu remembered that the company didn't close until 7 p.m., so why did it suddenly close two hours earlier?
“Hey, you forgot… this week is a strange time.” Xiao Wang said mysteriously, “This week is the time of demons, after 7 pm is the day when the gates of hell open.”
"The company is worried about something unexpected happening..."
“Last time, when Xiao Zhang was working overtime at night, all the lights suddenly went out. He also heard a thumping sound, and it turned out to be the security guard downstairs coming up for patrol.”
"He was told to go home immediately after being told that the place was haunted that night."
"Not long after Xiao Zhang returned, someone died in the building the next morning."
"Xiao Zhang even said that it was lucky that the security guard reminded him."
Upon hearing this, Cen Yu didn't sense anything amiss. "Then he's quite lucky."
“Cen Yu,” Xiao Wang told him, “that security guard died two weeks ago.”
"Because of the accident, his body was crushed in two by the elevator." Xiao Wang said, touching his arm. "When Xiao Zhang saw him, he only saw the upper body... He thought the security guard was just leaning over to talk to him."
Cen Yu: "..."
"So let's all go home early tonight!" Xiao Wang said. "If your roommates are acting strangely, buy a security camera and see who's up to it."
...
5 p.m.
Cen Yu encountered Li Chonghe in the lobby downstairs.
"We're out of things in the fridge, we need to buy some more to take back," Li Chonghe said. "Shall we take a taxi to the supermarket first, and then go back together?"
Cen Yu certainly didn't disagree. He glanced at Li Chonghe beside him and said, "Our company is close by, so we save a lot on travel expenses."
Li Chonghe nodded. "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence either."
I was a little surprised when I found out you work in this building.
“However, that neighborhood is close to here, and many people in the nearby buildings choose to rent apartments in that neighborhood,” Li Chonghe added.
Cen Yu didn't say anything. When the two of them finished shopping at the supermarket and went back, they found that it was already 6 o'clock.
Gu Hanyin was checking the doors and windows in the living room. When she saw the two of them return, she nodded and said, "If you had been any later, I wouldn't have opened the door."
Cen Yu glanced at the doors and windows. At this time, all the windows in the living room were covered with cloth. After Cen Yu and Li Chonghe came in, Gu Hanyin first locked the door and then pasted some talismans on the door.
“Go and check your rooms again,” Gu Hanyin said, looking somewhat tired. “The security measures in this community aren’t very good.”
High-end residential areas all have magic arrays to deal with strange phenomena.
The system's voice appeared in Cen Yu's mind.
Of course, your poor neighborhood wouldn't have one.
Cen Yu: "..."
"I'll go check on my room."
Cen Yu put down the shopping bag and went to his room... His windows were closed and locked. He drew the curtains, checked them again, and then returned to the living room.
Li Chonghe also came out of the living room.
A moment later, Yu Xinyu also slowly walked out of the living room.
