Chapter 263

The meeting is over.

The boss asked us all to get out.

We left his office, and my friend went to prison. People around me were gloomy, looking at me with strange expressions, and then gathered together to whisper.

They looked like a bunch of gray mice.

I walked away.

The next day everyone pooled their money together and bought an indulgence. I gave all the money to my boss, and he took half of it and gave it to me.

"This is your reward for helping me make money. There will be more next time, but I hope you can live to see it next time."

The boss said with a smile.

I took the money and nodded.

"Want to visit your friend? Do you know where the prison is? Do you need me to give you a key? Or do you need anything else to prepare? I can do it for you. Many people in the company are free."

The boss said with a smile.

"No, I can go alone, thank you. I don't need to open his prison door, as long as I can get in. Even if there are prison guards, they will open the door when they see it's me."

I replied.

"You know who you rely on to get to where you are now, right?"

My boss asked me with a smile.

"I know."

I replied.

"Glad to know, you can go now. Do you need me to give you half a day off?"

The boss asked.

“I remember tomorrow is the weekend.”

I replied.

"Yes, you can have two days off tomorrow, but don't you want three days off? On Fridays, we have half a day off in advance, so we only need to work in the morning. I will give you an extra half day off.

You can have three days off in a row, don't you like it? Or are you unhappy? Why are you unhappy? Is your friend in jail or you are not with him?"

My boss asked me with a smile.

"I have no idea."

I replied.

Usually at this time my single thread will explode.

I think my brain can't support me to answer such complex questions, some of which are more than one question.

"Then I'll give you half a day off. Do you have any other opinions?"

The boss asked.

"No comment."

I replied.

"You have to make up for six days of work after that, you know?"

He asked again.

"I see."

I nodded.

He let me go.

So I went to the prison to see my friend.

"It won't be long before you can leave here. Are you happy?"

I asked my friend.

"I'm so happy! When I thought about leaving here, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep or eat. I just wanted to run away. Unfortunately, I'm trapped here. But it doesn't matter. I'll be there soon.

I will be leaving here soon. If there is anything wrong, it is that you are not with me. I don't think you will be willing to go with me if you don't get ready. "

My friend said to me.

"Here's a glass of water and all that wine. Drink it all. It'll help you get a good night's sleep."

I said to my friend.

"You didn't put sleeping pills in it, did you?"

My friend took the glass of water, opened the lid and asked me.

He even had the same attitude as a wary wild animal seeing a piece of raw meat suddenly falling from the sky.

I smiled and said no.

"Did you put any painkillers in it?"

He drank the water and asked me.

"I don't know if you don't, but I think a little bit, because I always have some painkillers in my stuff. I need that a lot, I can't live without it.

That little thing won't affect you.

You don't eat it every day like I do.

It doesn't matter even if you eat a whole bottle today.

Because you have people watching you here all the time, if you really have a problem with your body, they will not sit idly by. But maybe they will suspect that I deliberately want to kill you to clear my name. "

I replied.

"Give me the wine. I want to drink it."

My friend waved to me and I gave him the item.

He suddenly stared at me and asked, "What would you do if I never existed from the beginning to the end? If you were the one in prison now, would you get out in the future? Would you be willing?"

"If you didn't exist, I would be the one in prison. I wouldn't like it here, so it's normal for me to leave willingly."

I smiled at him.

"That's good."

He finished his drink.

I took away the water glasses and wine vessels.

I packed my things and was walking in the park when I suddenly saw a person walking towards me from a distance. I thought the person looked familiar, so I squinted and saw that person had spotted me.

He rushed over almost like a bull that had spotted a red cloth.

I recognize this person.

I recognized him as soon as he came up.

"You and he are obviously friends, why didn't you save him? He was clearly going out to complete such a dangerous mission for the sake of the people alive in the city, why didn't you speak up for him?"

The second-level employee in the company asked me.

"He is my friend, but that doesn't mean I have to save him. If he wants to die, I won't stop him. He can do whatever he wants, and there is no need for me to make myself unhappy.

Besides, there is no money in speaking for him.”

I smiled and answered.

"It was the biggest mistake for him to be friends with you."

The second-level staff member frowned.

"We are no longer friends. Do you have any problem with me being his friend?"

I asked him.

"I don't have any opinion. I just heard that you were in the company, so I came to such a big company to meet you. I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be like this."

He snorted coldly and walked away.

I find this a bit confusing.

But I thought that he also paid for the indulgence, and maybe he felt that he paid for it, so he was angry with me, which was normal.

I went home, but was really bored, so I took a handful of sleeping pills and slept for half a day. I didn't know what day it was, and when I woke up, it was not yet 12 o'clock in the evening.

I wanted to see my friend, but I felt that it was unnecessary to see him so late. What could we do face to face? Just stare blankly.

It would be the same no matter where I was if I just stared blankly, and nothing would get better just by looking at him.

I took a mission.

Anyway, the company can operate at any time and there are tasks every day.

Clean up the pink domes that appear on the edge of the city.

If a child touches the eggs, they will explode.

If a woman touches those eggs, they will turn into round balls of flesh and crash into the nearest belly, making the skin wrinkled, the body bloated, the fat increased, and the woman unable to move except for crawling.

Afterwards, the women would writhe on the ground in agony, their skin would split open, bleeding profusely, new limbs would grow and be torn down the middle, and then they would die.

If a man touched the eggs, they would eat him up and then explode with a bang, spreading colorful flakes all over the ground.

Those things are difficult to sweep up once they fall on the ground, but if they are not cleaned up, they will rot and emit a wet, disgusting, fishy smell.

The originally beautiful colorful colors will gradually turn into black and red. It's not that black and red are ugly, but that color reminds people of rotten flesh and blood.

So much so that it affects the normal operation of the street and the surrounding residents.

It's very easy to deal with these things. Just crack the eggshells and deal with the egg liquid.

But you can't touch it when handling egg liquid, otherwise the consequences will be bad.

I spent three days cleaning the dome amidst the pounding sounds. I returned home reeking of egg liquid, rinsed myself, and then went to the company.

My boss asked me to catch a mutant spider.

However, the mutant spiders are not inside the city, but outside the city. Once you pass the city wall, the outside is seriously polluted.

If you are lucky, you will be fine when you go out and come back. If you are unlucky, you will die outside if you take a wrong step. Therefore, the mission outside the city is more dangerous than inside the city.

When I heard this mission, I thought he wanted me to die.

But he didn't seem to have that much ill will towards me.

But then I thought, he usually has a smiling face to everyone, and if he really wants to let someone die, he will never hesitate, and I can't tell anything useful from his expression.

I thought about it and agreed to him. He was very satisfied, nodded and let me go out. He took the task himself and went out today.

When I was about to leave, he reminded me again that he hoped I would come back as soon as possible because my friend would be exiled soon.

I said I understood, and he said I could go.

I went out and caught the spider, but when I brought it back he said it was wrong.

I didn't know what was wrong, he looked like he wanted to call me stupid.

I thought about it and suddenly realized what he wanted.

I locked up the spider I caught, washed it, and went to find the second-level staff member.

No one else saw me when I brought the spider back, and I didn't show it to him specifically.

So he didn't know that the task was just a matter of submission.

In his impression, this mission was just accepted and it would take some time to complete.

I asked him for money, and he asked me why. I said, of course, catching spiders costs money.

Eating costs money, staying in a hotel costs money, and traveling costs money.

What is free?

So it was reasonable for me to ask him for money, and accepting a mission usually gives me a sum of start-up funds for the mission, which is a regular procedure.

But sometimes I don't ask for it.

In order to save money, the company will not take the initiative to give it to me.

After rounding off, that amount of money is equivalent to nothing.

It evaporates in me.

Sometimes I don't know where the money is, but sometimes I think maybe my boss likes money so much and all my money falls into his hands.

If my money really evaporates, the evaporated money will only go to him.

Who else could it be but him?

"I haven't asked you for money for many other missions before. You are already giving me face by not asking me to pay you this time."

I said to him as I stood in front of his workbench.

"If you didn't want it before, then you didn't have it. Even if you ask me for it now, I still don't have it. I don't care about the past. As for me wanting to catch spiders now, I don't need any money.

After you complete your mission, come back to me and reimburse the money you spent."

He said.
