"I hope those people can work well." Lu Ning raised her eyes and said. She was not going to give any more reminders. She was a newcomer herself, and all she could remind was what was in the rule book, and everyone had a copy of this.
The three people also noticed Lu Ning, but they didn't work in the same unit, and there was no need to say hello. The man who called himself "myself" opened the unit door, and then the three of them went in together.
"Would you like to go over and take a look?" Tiangong was a little worried. The shapes of the units are different, and the walls of the units in the Spiral Corpse Tower are all made of transparent material, so the situation inside can be seen from the outside. If it is a high-risk job, I'm afraid someone will have to observe it from outside. Lu Ning nodded, and the two of them walked to the wall.
The three people who entered immediately checked the numbers behind the door as required, and then counted the number of people on the corpse tower. Lu Ning could actually see it from the angle here. There were now a total of nine corpses hanging on the corpse tower. She remembered it. He picked up this number and continued to watch the movements of the three people.
The "venerable" was obviously not particularly good at the delicate work of wiping blood. After the discussion, a short man took out a rag and detergent and walked towards the corpse tower. Lu Ning and Tiangong looked at each other and looked away. The incident report didn't say what would happen if viewed from outside the unit, but since the Spiral Corpse Tower can affect the entire corridor, it's better to be careful.
And in this way, the two people obviously would not be able to know what was going on inside. The doors and walls have excellent sound insulation. Without looking, you have no idea what is going on inside. Lu Ning and Tiangong simply walked a little further and sat down near Honghua's unit.
"Is nothing going to happen..." Tiangong said worriedly.
"You won't know if you are careful enough." Lu Ning replied.
Lu Ning and Tiangong both brought watches. Although 24 hours was not applicable here, they could still keep time. About forty-five minutes later, they heard the sound of the containment unit being opened, and they went their separate ways. He looked up. The three people who had just entered came out, looking a little more relaxed.
"Your Majesty, luckily nothing happened this time." The short man's voice sounded a little shaky. After all, he was the one who went up, and he was also the one most likely to get into trouble.
"You did a good job. As expected, as long as you follow the procedures, there won't be any problems. Let's go back to the lounge and clean up the blood stains after a while..."
Lu Ning noticed that the "Venerable" who was leaving suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at the wall. His expression could not be seen clearly. It seemed that something was... not right?
"We checked the number of corpses when we went in, right? Is it nine?"
"Yes, that's right, didn't we correct the numbers together?" The other taller one was stunned for a moment.
"That's not right!" The Reverend immediately rushed back to the door of the unit and pointed inside, "There are ten corpses! Someone violated the rules! Someone between you two has been replaced!"
This movement immediately made Lu Ning and Tiangong stand up, and their hands had already touched the weapons. The Venerable looked inside the unit again. Unfortunately, the light inside was turned off as soon as the person left. At this moment, it was not clear what the corpse hanging inside looked like.
"I didn't break the rules!" the tall man said hurriedly, "I just didn't look. I definitely didn't look. It must be... it must be him! He didn't wipe off the blood!"
"Impossible! I'm a human being. I was worried that something might go wrong, so I checked every step carefully! Otherwise, why would it take so much time!" the short man said hurriedly.
"No matter who it is, we can't go out with the body... at least confirm the identity!" The Venerable shouted, "Follow me and go in again!"
Lu Ning frowned slightly and took two steps forward, but she didn't think about what to say. She felt that something was not right——
The three people had reopened the door and entered the unit under the Venerable's strong request. With a flash of light, everything in the unit could be seen clearly.
"No! There is no need to check whether the number of corpses is the same when leaving as when entering!"
Things that are required to be done must be strictly followed, and things that are not required to be done... it is best not to do it too much.
Lu Ning saw that after the distinguished gentleman rushed into the unit, he immediately ran towards the extra body to confirm its identity. The other two people also took out their own weapons and watched the Venerable's movements carefully. However... this was the second time they went in.
"Check the numbers!" Lu Ning shouted, but the voice could not enter the unit.
The most common mistake newcomers make when something unexpected happens is to ignore certain details. That venerable person is indeed very responsible, but it is easy for ordinary people to ignore the step of checking the numbers. After all, they have already checked the numbers once before, so they may ignore it in their consciousness.
Lu Ning saw that the venerable man had rushed to the corpse. He paused in his steps and looked up. His whole body seemed to stiffen. The next second, he disappeared from the spot. And the hanging corpse soon "grew" a suit of clothes, and the clothes were exactly the same as the venerable one.
The two people in the room obviously saw this scene, and were immediately frightened out of their wits. They turned around and opened the door of the unit.
"Don't--"
As soon as Lu Ning's words came out, the two people rushed out of the door and ran to the corridor, without even closing the door of the unit manually. Lu Ning choked on her words, immediately reached out and grabbed the door to lock it tightly, looking into the room.
The internal light source was turned off, and in the dim light of the corridor, twelve corpses hung under the stairs, seemingly still shaking slightly.
"Dead." Tiangong sighed, "The consequences of not being calm are obviously leaving safely."
Even paper-level buildings can cause death. Soon, Lu Ning heard footsteps again. There were four containment units in this corridor, and the executors of the other two units had also come to work.
"what happened?"
"Is this someone dead?"
After the two slightly younger male and female voices, there was a calm old man's voice: "Don't distract, just go back and report. The lights are white, safe."
It's White.
The old man was wearing a military uniform and carrying a two-handed sword on his back, an ordinary-looking weapon. But the two young men and women next to him looked very respectful to White. After White's words, they immediately stopped looking at him curiously.
"Hello." White saw Lu Ning and Tiangong Yuri and said hello. Lu Ning and Tiangong also responded quickly.
"We are responsible for A17 Lingding Lonely Man and A20 Site 7752. Although each of us can do our own work, we must also be careful to prevent the chain effects of the contained objects between units. If you two find anything special, please report it in time. Communicate and we will report back on our work.”
"Ah...ok." Lu Ning nodded.
White's aura is different from that of ordinary people. His calm and down-to-earth look is just like the quality of a fourth-level veteran, which is different from the impression given by the previous sages. White himself walked into unit A17, while the man and woman walked into unit A20. Because of what just happened, Lu Ning immediately turned the book to those two pages and read the introduction again.
The Lonely Man is a statue that is twice the size of a man who is 1.7 meters tall. The statue is in a kneeling position, holding a dagger in both hands and pointing it at its own throat. There are also some miscellaneous management instructions, but the most important one is silence-no talking while performing work. It is worth mentioning that if no one is working on this statue for a certain period of time, it will break through and transform into the male form of the statue. It will choose the first person it encounters and pull the other person into a space where only it exists. , will not return to the unit until the man commits suicide because of loneliness. The only way to rescue is for someone outside to discover and kill the man.
Scene 7752 is a room, a murder scene. The essence of this scene is that space murders the people within itself, and the method is very cruel. Its essence is a living space, and it has the ability to proliferate. To stop its proliferation, two people calling themselves detectives would need to conduct forensic investigations of the scene three times a day, during which time the space would be very quiet. The rule book specifies in detail what actions are required for the three evidence collections. These are all to make the space believe that the person entering it is indeed a detective. Once it is discovered that it is not... then Space will take action immediately.
This is the "paper" level, as long as you implement safe processes, then nothing will happen. However, this is also a contradiction. When you know that you have arrived in such a dangerous place, how can you withstand the pressure and execute the process perfectly?
White and the man and woman successfully completed their first job and walked out of the room.
"It doesn't seem too difficult." The young man walked up to Lu Ning and Tiangong and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Chai Anshi. Since work is over, why don't we go to the lounge for a cup of coffee or something?"
Another young woman also said: "My name is Di Xiaoying, and I am in the same team as Uncle White. Do you want to go back? Captain Salo said that if you have nothing to do, go back to the lounge and keep your spirits up. If something happens, it will be easy to support. .”
Sarau...is that blond woman, right? It seems that each captain will say different things. White also came over at this time, and Lu Ning raised her head and glanced at him. She had chatted with White twice before at the distribution center. This somewhat old soldier was indeed quite stable and reliable.
"Go back, there is nothing in the paper level that can easily break through the containment." White said.
Everyone followed White back to the lounge, only to find that many people had returned - after all, the working hours at one time may not necessarily be very long. White walked to a nearby whiteboard with photos of ten teams and crossed out three people from his own team. Lu Ning found that there were six people missing from the whiteboard, one of whom was from the same team.
She searched and found Zhou Weiyuan lying in the corner.
"Zhou Weiyuan, what happened to our dead one?"
"A6, working alone, was found dead outside the unit door with his head half broken." Zhou Weiyuan answered.
As for A6, Lu Ning remembers that he is called the Fighter Collector. The management difficulty is very low. As long as someone comes in to chat with him, he can avoid topics about fighting and martial arts and chat for 3,600 seconds, or even You only need to work twice a day, there are no other special rules to follow.
"This can also lead to death?"
"I guess I was too happy to chat and forgot about it. Didn't it say in the rule book that that person can be said to be personable and knowledgeable? He can talk about many things. Maybe he will deliberately induce topics in this regard." Zhou Weiyuan shrugged.
"Zhi usually attacks by inducing others to make mistakes. As long as you concentrate, you won't make mistakes." Yan Rong also came over, "If it reaches the fierce level or above, it is possible to enter the unit and start fighting directly."
"But even though several people died, the alarm was not raised." Zhou Weiyuan yawned.
"To sound the alarm, we probably need to break through the containment, and it has to be very destructive, at least to the point of blocking the corridor." Lu Ning said.
"But what if someone really breaks through? Will they be killed?" Zhou Weiyuan asked.
"Well, as long as the doomsday core is destroyed, the contained objects that have lost their power will be pulled back directly by the unit. But don't worry so much, these contained objects are not that easy to die, just beat them as you like." Yan Rong said with a smile.
Abigail seemed to also explain some things that Lu Ning didn't know, so Lu Ning exchanged information with Yan Rong.
Sure enough, each captain has different priorities.
Nono has always used that sarcastic tone to remind everyone to be careful in their work, but when it comes to Abigail, it becomes a different style.
That is to say, as long as you are strong enough, it doesn't matter if there are any problems in the work of many things, as long as you break through and crush the doomsday core. And the above will not look at how you complete the work. There is only one requirement, and that is that everything must stay in the containment unit at the end of the day.
So what Abigail emphasizes is to first pay attention to whether there is an instant kill mechanism. If it can kill someone instantly, then don't be careless and just do it. And if the consequence is just a breakthrough, the worst possible outcome is to let them out and have a fight.
"Is your captain a fighting maniac?" Zhou Weiyuan's mouth twitched after hearing this.
"Otherwise, why would we be chosen?" Yan Rong was quite satisfied, "And I think this is also a way of thinking. After all, those at the paper level are easy to manage, and we can work step by step. But at higher levels, What about the harder-to-manage ones? Do you think those are going to work well?"
Lu Ning was silent. She did agree with Yan Rong's words.
Starting from the fierce level means that the difficulty of management is greatly increased. Even the rule book only mentions some precautions, and there is no standard process to refer to. Many people have no way of knowing what conditions will cause a riot in a contained object. Going one step further, those at the crazy level will even have "sacrifice" jobs. Entering there will basically mean death.
"The rule book can only keep us safe at the paper level. If we continue, we have to rely on our strength." Yan Rong concluded.
