Chapter 62 Job Application
It was obviously just a very simple question, but the person being asked looked alert and immediately stepped back, looking like he didn't want to answer.
But Lu Jiamu had already seen the card in his hand, which was the same as the one in his own, so he must be a job applicant as well.
Lu Jiamu pinched his chin and thought: Is it that serious?
On the street in front of the skyscraper, many people who looked like them had appeared one after another, each holding a cardboard card in their hands, and they all seemed to be applying for a job.
Is this position so popular? The task description only calls for nine people in total, but now so many people have come in at once. Is it a system of elimination?
Each of those people tightly grasped the cards in their hands, standing far away from the others, looking very alert, and their faces looked even uglier in the gloomy sky. Judging from their expressions, they didn't look like they were here to apply for a job, but rather to die.
Lu Jiamu tried several times to get close to them and inquire about the situation, but received no response.
A moment later, the door of the skyscraper slowly opened in front of them, and a very polite male voice came from the broadcast inside: "Applicants No. 1-10, please enter the building. Those who fail to enter will be regarded as automatically forfeiting."
Lu Jiamu looked down at the cardboard in his hand. Bloody words slowly appeared on the card: Lu Jiamu, No. 21.
The names and numbers of the other people also appeared on the cards in their hands, but they were all ranked after 20.
Among the people standing on the street, one of them suddenly collapsed and yelled after seeing his number: "Why should I go first?! I don't want to go! I don't want to go!"
The male voice in the building suddenly announced solemnly: "You are making loud noises and lack basic professionalism. You will be automatically eliminated!"
After saying that, the ground beneath the man's feet began to melt. He began to scream, and while shouting, he tried to run out of the melting range: "Ahhhhhhhh!"
But all his efforts were in vain, and he was eventually dragged underground with screams.
"Applicants please pay attention to your etiquette."
The street soon returned to silence, and everyone secretly swallowed their saliva. Some people were even almost scared to the point of falling to the ground. Finally, nine of them walked out trembling and entered the building.
Lu Jiamu looked around at their faces and saw obvious fear and unwillingness in their expressions, but not much surprise.
It seems that they have already understood the situation they are about to face. They all know that there are ghosts in this world.
Fifteen minutes later, the door of the building was reopened, and the gentle male voice came out again: "Applicants No. 11-20, please enter the building."
This time no one roared again. All the people in the serial number lined up quietly and entered the building in an orderly manner.
The door of the building was closed, and it was impossible to see what was happening inside from a distance. Lu Jiamu was afraid that peeking inside would be considered unprofessional, so he did not take the initiative to move forward.
Fifteen minutes later, the door of the building opened again, and the male voice repeated, "Applicants No. 21-30, please enter the building."
Finally it was their turn.
Lu Jiamu straightened his collar, adjusted his expression, revealed a smile befitting an applicant, and entered the building without any psychological burden.
After all ten people walked in, the door slowly closed behind them, and the male voice issued further instructions through the PA: "Applicants, please go to the 444th floor on your own. The job fair will begin on this floor."
This building is quite tall. Lu Jiamu didn't want to go to the wrong floor, so he asked, "How many floors does this building have?"
"Ha." The male voice responded quickly and good-temperedly, but there was an inexplicable teasing in the tone, "This building has 445 floors in total, don't go to the wrong one. I look forward to meeting you on the right floor."
As his voice sounded, a soft "ding" sound was heard from the elevator of the building, and the elevator door slowly opened.
The male voice on the radio said politely, "Please. Good luck to all applicants."
Several applicants swallowed their saliva and nervously grasped their job application cards. No one was willing to go into the elevator first.
They all knew that a closed elevator would not be a good thing in this situation. They were not No. 21, so why should they get in first?
Lu Jiamu looked down at his card again, and seeing that none of them had any intention of going first, he said, "Then I'll go first."
Coleman knew that he already had his own abnormal abilities, enough to deal with more crises, but he still warned: "Be careful."
Lu Jiamu nodded, walked into the elevator first, and was about to take the elevator.
But just as one of his legs stepped into the elevator and before his toes could step on it, the elevator suddenly moved abnormally and issued a short and sharp prompt with a malicious tone: "The elevator is going up!"
As he spoke, the elevator car suddenly rushed upwards without even closing the door.
If a person is in a state where half of his body is outside and the other half is inside the elevator and is about to get on, at this moment he will be stuck in two by the abnormal operation of the elevator.
However, Lu Jiamu had always been worried about the moment of getting on the elevator. He was well prepared and very careful. The moment the elevator moved abnormally upward, he suddenly pulled his leg out.
Seeing that he was not stuck, the elevator did not continue to go to higher floors, but weakly issued a warning tone again: "The elevator is going down..."
A few seconds later, the elevator returned to the first floor and waited there quietly, just like when they came in.
OK, so you were waiting for me here...
Lu Jiamu stretched out his leg again as if nothing had happened just now.
The elevator excitedly sounded a prompt: "Elevator up!"
After saying that, he moved upwards at high speed, but Lu Jiamu reacted quickly and successfully pulled his legs out.
The elevator had no choice but to return to its original position, waiting quietly, like a giant mouth with bad intentions, ready to devour anyone.
Interesting, interesting...
Lu Jiamu held up his glasses, reached in and waved tentatively, but the elevator was very patient and did not move immediately.
He stretched his legs in and shook it again, but the elevator still did not operate abnormally.
But just as Lu Jiamu tapped the elevator with his toes and was about to shift his center of gravity, the elevator suddenly issued a sharp reminder: "The elevator is going up!"
But Lu Jiamu quickly retreated at the moment when it started to move abnormally and did not get stuck.
For the next half minute, he kept testing the elevator's reaction speed, as if he was dancing a solo.
The elevator goes up!
The elevator goes down...
The elevator rushed up suddenly, slowly came back down, and then rushed up suddenly again, like a dog being played around.
The other people were stunned when they saw Lu Jiamu jumping back and forth on the edge of being stuck, as if he was playing a game.
Lu Jiamu turned around and smiled: "There's something wrong with this elevator. We can't take it. Let's take the stairs."
As soon as the elevator started to work abnormally, the others had already gone to find the stairs. Although the 444th floor was very high, it was better to climb the stairs than to be stuck in this broken elevator.
By now they had come back and said with an unpleasant look on their faces: "This building... doesn't have any stairs at all."
Is the only way to go upstairs taking the elevator?
Lu Jiamu held up his glasses again and continued to stretch his foot to test.
The elevator learned from its previous experience and would no longer go up immediately as Lu Jiamu stretched out his legs.
It waited there with full of malice, setting up elaborate traps, trying to wait for an opportunity when Lu Jiamu was halfway up and then strangle him to death in one fell swoop.
Lu Jiamu tried several times, and as if he had used up too much energy, his movements gradually slowed down, and a look of embarrassment gathered on his face. He looked back at the others, and it seemed that they had backed off and wanted others to go first.
But no one responded.
Kouman, Wang Biao and others knew him well enough to know that he was a person who would not show such emotional expressions under normal circumstances, so they ignored him.
Several others thought that he was number 1, so why should he let others go first?
On the digital screen of the elevator car, the red floor markings looked like a malicious smiley face, staring at him quietly.
Lu Jiamu sighed softly and stretched his legs into the elevator again.
The elevator learned from previous experience and did not move immediately, wanting to wait for him to come a little closer before blocking him. But Lu Jiamu was no longer testing the water this time, he took advantage of the elevator's inattention and jumped in without hesitation.
"Elevator up!"
A sharp warning sound rang out, but it was too late. Lu Jiamu had already rolled over and quickly reached the innermost corner. He grabbed the elevator handrail, looked up at the electronic screen, and revealed an indescribable smile that seemed to carry an inexplicable mockery.
I pretended.
The elevator went back and forth between the third floor and the first floor, shaking violently. But because Lu Jiamu held on to the handrail too tightly, he was not thrown out, and the elevator had to continue going up.
On the electronic display, bright red numbers are jumping rapidly: 1, 2, 3
6, 9, 14, 22...
At the beginning, the numbers were still jumping continuously, but they were jumping faster and faster, but soon the numbers on the electronic display screen could not keep up with the speed of the elevator. The intervals between the numbers became larger and larger, and the elevator room on each floor kept flashing outside and disappearing in an instant.
Lu Jiamu was held down by the huge inertia. He used a lot of effort to lower his center of gravity, crawled to the floor button, and quickly pressed the next floor. But the elevator had no intention of stopping at the floor button, but just went up faster and faster.
Now he understood why the male voice on the radio sounded joking when he mentioned that the building had only 445 floors.
Because the elevator would not stop at all, at this acceleration, if you didn't jump off immediately when it reached the 444th floor, it would uncontrollably crash into the ceiling, causing the machine to crash and everyone on board to die!
