Chapter 22 Chapter 22 No one likes the bloody tree roots...
No one likes to go to work, especially after working overtime and having to go to work on time the next day.
Lin Jianyuan felt extremely disgusted with work the next day after every overtime job, and had a particularly strong sense of discomfort, wondering "Why do I have to go to work again?"
It makes sense when you think about it. After all, I left the company at 9:30 yesterday, and I have to be at the company on time early this morning.
He spends most of the 24 hours in the company, which means he has endless work to do.
The most annoying thing is that even though I often work overtime, I always feel like I am not accomplishing anything.
Looking back, I realized that I didn’t do much serious work, and most of my time was wasted on all kinds of meaningless things.
For example, now.
The phone rang. Lin Jianyuan picked it up and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god!"
"What's wrong, brother?" Pei Shuo beside him immediately raised his head.
Qin Shi, Su Zhiwei, and the others also looked over. Lin Jianyuan was too tired to complain and simply held up his phone to show them.
On the screen was a message from the finance department saying that an invoice in his reimbursement materials was blurred.
Qin Shi: "Is Yu Hui the one in charge of the final review?"
Lin Jianyuan: “Yes.”
Everyone immediately looked at him with sympathy.
Pei Shuo was puzzled and asked, "Brother, is it a big problem if the invoice is blurry? Can't you take a clearer one and send it over?"
Lin Jianyuan's face darkened. Qin Shi explained, "Financial reimbursements all go through the OA process. There's a ton of material to upload, a ton of forms to fill out, and a whole series of approvals from management. Jiang Chen's approval is fine; I can always push him in person. But it's more difficult with the head office. Their review is very slow, and they don't allow you to push them. If you push them, they'll scold you."
Su Zhiwei: "Yeah, it happened to me last time too. They inexplicably withheld my reimbursement for treating a client to a meal, and they even said my business dinner was unreasonable. What's wrong? Did I treat the client to a meal because I like him? Damn, if they think it's unreasonable, I also think it's unreasonable. Treating the client to a meal should be counted as overtime pay! And I also have to pay for the emotional damage caused by flattering the client!"
Qin Shi: "The main problem is that every time your documents are returned, you have to go through the application process all over again. And our crappy system doesn't even keep any traces of your last operations. Any form you've filled out has to be filled out again from the beginning if it's returned. It's incredibly troublesome."
Pei Shuo finally understood: "Oh. So that's how it is."
Lin Jianyuan looked annoyed. With a bang, he kicked the chair away and stood up.
Pei Shuo was startled and asked hurriedly: "Brother?"
Lin Jianyuan: "Have a cigarette."
Pei Shuo and Qin Shi looked at each other and knew that Lin Jianyuan was very upset at the moment, so they stopped talking.
Lin Jianyuan didn't feel much better after leaving the office and going to the smoking area.
He took out the process again while waiting for the elevator. There were more than a dozen invoices that he had photographed and uploaded. He looked at them over and over again, but couldn't tell which one was blurry.
I sent a message to Yu Hui, and she took a long time to reply:
"Look for yourself."
Lin Jianyuan was so angry that he almost kicked the trash can away.
What an idiot! If you find a problem with the materials during the review, isn't it easy to take a picture or screenshot?! Can't you explain clearly which invoice is problematic? If you explain clearly, you will die!
What do you mean, "see for yourself"? I've seen every single one of them, and there's nothing wrong with them!
Besides, even if there were problems, what was the point of your finance initial review? Not only did they not tell me about it during the initial review, but after a bunch of my supervisors had reviewed and approved it, they told me during the final review that the photos were blurry and sent me back to go through the entire process again?
Damn shit!!!
Lin Jianyuan was so angry that he almost wanted to tear up the invoices and not report them. The total amount of invoices was only a few hundred yuan, and his medicine cost more than that.
But if he doesn't get reimbursed, isn't that the same as working at his own expense? Damn it! How can this be allowed? Why should he be allowed to work at his own expense? This is absolutely not allowed!!!
Thinking about having to fill out that bunch of shitty reports again and the OA being so slow, Lin Jianyuan felt depressed and slammed his cigarette butt into the smoking area.
Destroy it.
He took out his cigarette case and was about to light his third cigarette when the Nieniele thief suddenly called out, "Lin Jianyuan!"
Little Stone: "Hey, this isn't..."
Lin Jianyuan lowered his head and saw a wriggling thread of blood wriggling out of the cigarette box.
Shit! Again!
It’s annoying!!!
Lin Jianyuan instantly became furious and grabbed the blood thread and pulled it hard!
Rip. The cigarette box broke into pieces.
Lin Jianyuan: “?”
Nie Nie Le: “Ah!”
Little Stone: “Ah!”
Although it was the cigarette box that was broken, the two decompression toys burst into screams at the same time, as if it was not blood but their dragon tendons that were being pulled out.
Lin Jianyuan was confused and frantically tried to pick up the cigarettes scattered on the ground.
What happened? Didn't he pull out blood? Why did the cigarette box break?
When I looked again, I found that the blood thread in the palm of my hand had become very long without me noticing.
One end of the blood thread was held in his hand, and the other end swayed and extended towards the entrance of the office building.
No, it cannot be called an “extension”.
Lin Jianyuan frowned as he looked at the blood thread in his hand that was struggling and twisting, trying to get into his palm.
I feel like the office building is the "head" because the blood vessels are obviously thicker.
But in the palm of his hand, there was just a thin little tail.
So, the bloodshot is actually growing out of the office building? What's going on?
"Leaving?" The other office workers who came out to smoke greeted Lin Jianyuan.
Lin Jianyuan's face was gloomy and he said "hmm".
Little Stone: "What is he going to do? He's not going to look for..."
Nie Nie was pleased with herself: "Just watch."
Lin Jianyuan followed the blood thread and went downstairs.
Passing by the warehouse, parking lot, equipment maintenance tool room... the bloodshot led him to the bottom floor of the office building.
There were more and more bloodshot eyes around, and the light was dim. Looking closely, it was not the light that was dim, but the bloodshot eyes were densely covering the entire bulb.
Countless blood threads were floating in the air, swaying like anemones.
As soon as Lin Jianyuan approached, they all came over and tried to drill into his skin.
Lin Jianyuan was annoyed by the sight of the messy pile of blood threads. He frowned, randomly gathered the blood threads together, and walked forward while winding them like a ball of yarn.
Little Stone was horrified: "How can he touch the [Bloodline] with his bare hands!"
Nienilele: "How would I know? He could even crush me with his bare feet."
Little Stone: "That's because of you..." His voice suddenly became smaller.
Nie Nie Le: "? Because of me what?"
Little Stone: "Ah? I didn't say anything."
Pinching Music: “???”
Lin Jianyuan ignored the nonsense of the two little toys and continued to follow the bloodstains inside.
It was a long corridor, the air was stagnant and hot, and the walls were covered with blood-like rust.
The incandescent light above my head flickered in a terrifying atmosphere.
It's so bright that it's blinding.
Lin Jianyuan couldn't stand it anymore after walking for a while, so he called the property management to come and fix it.
The property efficiency is good.
Soon, the overhead lights stopped flickering, and the ventilation system in the hot and humid corridor restarted.
The whole space becomes fresh!
Little Stone: “?”
Nie Nie was pleased with herself: "Just look."
Little Stone: "So he's really that good? (Suddenly whispers) So it's not because you're bad?"
Nenile Le: "I heard it!! Kou Pan Kou!!!"
"It's so noisy!" Lin Jianyuan suddenly yelled.
The two little toys became obedient instantly.
Suddenly, all the lights above went out and the surroundings fell into darkness!
The fresh air system that had been operating normally just now also stopped working at this time. A "rumbling" sound came from the iron-wrapped pipes, as if something was crawling quickly along the pipes.
The air became stagnant again and the temperature rose rapidly.
A faint red light flickered at the end of the corridor, flickering on and off, as if pulsating to some rhythm.
Nienilele: "Lin Jianyuan!"
Little Stone: "Hiss! Something is coming!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Jianyuan shouted, reaching out with both hands at the same time!
The next second, two sounds of breaking air were heard in the darkness - and screams.
Little Stone: "Ahhh why did you throw me!!"
Nienilele: "Why did you even abandon me, Lin Jianyuan? You are so ungrateful—"
Two snaps. A dull sound echoed in the darkness.
No matter what the hell was coming out from the end of the corridor, Lin Jianyuan hit it!
Judging by the sound, that thing was huge.
Because of this, Lin Jianyuan could hit the target even if he just randomly hit it in the dark.
Who made it so big?
Lin Jianyuan took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight.
The scene before him shocked him.
Blood vessels—numerous blood vessels.
Countless blood vessels of varying thicknesses were densely packed and intertwined with each other, blocking the entire corridor like the roots of a thousand-year-old tree.
If the time had not been stolen by the time thief, it should be rushing towards Lin Jianyuan like a bloody flood at this moment.
Unfortunately, however, the pinch was thrown on it.
So the network speed became slow.
Very laggy.
Under the illumination of the mobile phone light, those densely crisscrossed blood vessels could only move slowly, and their target direction was not Lin Jianyuan, but the ground.
Yes, the ground.
Because the second small stone also hit.
So what this mess of blood vessels is actually doing is:
Flop.
Rushing to the street with murderous intent.
Lin Jianyuan held up his phone and photographed the pile of blood vessels, frowning in confusion: "What the hell is this?"
The Nie Nie Le thief got up from the ground cursing, and slowly returned from his flat shape to his original chewy shape.
Little Stone lay peacefully on the ground, saying in a voiceover tone, "This is the C-rank heretic [Bloodline]."
"Of course I know this is the Bloodline." Lin Jianyuan looked impatient. "I'm asking what this is in reality?"
Little Stone: "Ah?"
Nienile Le: "Don't worry about him, he's sick. Lin Jianyuan, don't get me wrong, I'm not scolding you. You've been to a mental hospital. The doctor has diagnosed you, you really have a problem."
Little Stone: “…”
Lin Jianyuan frowned. He knew that the things in the hallucination could not be beyond his cognition.
He himself didn't know what the thing in front of him was, so how could the illusion know?
But this did not stop Lin Jianyuan from looking down on them: "Two pieces of trash."
Pinching Music & Little Stone: “???”
Who is the waste?
Do you want to see who is helping you control the opponent?
Next to the giant root-like blood vessel that was slowly falling to the ground, the pinching thief jumped up and down angrily and elastically, cursing constantly in his mouth.
Little Stone lay on the ground as if dead, pretending to be strong and said, "It's okay, I know you're just in a bad mood and you're just saying it out of anger. I won't blame you..."
One of the two little toys is alive and kicking, while the other is a living stone that is slightly dead.
Everyone thought that Lin Jianyuan would say a few words to comfort them symbolically, or at least bend down and pick them up.
But no.
Lin Jianyuan took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the fallen tree roots over and over again. After studying them repeatedly without any results, he decisively turned around and left.
"What? You're leaving now? You're abandoning me?!" Nienile screamed frantically, "Lin Jianyuan, come back! You're such a heartless man! You're a jerk who throws me away after using me!"
"Wait, that's not right." Little Stone said in surprise, "He went in the wrong direction? That's not the direction we came from."
Nie Nie Le: “Hmm?”
Nienile widened his snail eyes and realized that Lin Jianyuan did not abandon them, but walked alone to the end of the corridor - the room where the real body of [Bloodline] was!
"Hey! Come back!" Nienile's voice suddenly became anxious. It twisted its body and tried desperately to crawl forward, but it couldn't use time to teleport to Lin Jianyuan's side - it controlled the [bloodline]! If it let go, the [bloodline] over there would come alive!
It could only shout anxiously, "Lin Jianyuan! Come back quickly! The real body of [Bloodline] is inside! Its real body is more than C-level! You will die if you go there! Come back quickly!!!"
However, Lin Jianyuan seemed to be unable to hear its call at all.
He held his cell phone high and walked to the end of the corridor.
Deep in the darkness, a red light flickered, like an alarm of extreme danger.
Lin Jianyuan held up his cell phone high, and the white light illuminated a small area in front of him. However, the light was so limited, as if a young child holding a candlestick was about to step into the abyss.
"Lin Jianyuan!!!" Nienile was shouting at the top of his lungs.
"You're quite kind." Little Stone suddenly said coldly, "You really think he's your master?"
Nienile shook his shell in anger: "You don't understand!"
Little Stone: "I don't understand. He's obviously not good to you..."
Nienile Le: "Idiot! If anything happens to him, I will die too! You will die too!!! That erotic maniac in the Evil Realm will not let us go!!!"
Little Stone: “?”
The flashlight light was suddenly swallowed up by the darkness, and Lin Jianyuan's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Little Stone looked at the pitch-black darkness ahead, belatedly realizing what was happening: "Huh???"
Nienile watched Lin Jianyuan being swallowed by the darkness, and a look of despair appeared on Snail's face.
Little Stone: "Is the Evil Realm a sex maniac?"
Nie Nie Le: “?”
Is this the point?!
