It's already ten o'clock in the evening...
But everyone in the office is still typing on the keyboard, and I don’t know what they are busy with. In short, no one is off work.
And the manager was walking back and forth in the office tirelessly.
No one dares to fish.
Everyone is repeating the 'work' mechanically.
Maybe no one is working, just performing.
Try to look like you're working hard as much as possible.
After all, if the leader doesn’t leave, who would dare to leave?
The fluorescent lamp above the head suddenly flickered, and the entire office became much darker.
It was already dark outside the window, and even the lights in the office building next door were turned off.
Cheng Ye was still repeating the action.
He created a new form and re-entered the name, home address, personality, etc. in the [to be optimized] document.
Then the newly created document is overwritten with [To be optimized].
In this way, he has a new document that is identical to the original document.
He had repeated this process many times.
Of course, he didn't miss the [patient] documents either.
So much so that now, the names in these documents are more familiar than the rules at the beginning.
He was sure that if he repeated this kind of work tomorrow, and if the person in the document stood in front of him one day, he would be able to recite the person's gender, age, home address, number of medications, etc. without any thinking time.
Cheng Ye was a little impatient.
Because he clearly remembered [Rule 2: You must get up at six o'clock in the morning, and you cannot go to bed late or get up late. You must stay in bed before twelve o'clock in the evening, otherwise...]
It's past ten o'clock now.
His brain had just updated the information about himself, and he also knew that it would take at least forty minutes to get home from the company.
This was because the original owner couldn't stand the morning rush hour subway, so he moved to a location closer to the company.
Therefore, if he procrastinates any longer, he won't even need to take a shower when he gets home, he can just fall asleep.
Crucially, the rules also stipulate that you have to get up at six in the morning.
This is how people live?
Can't he really apply for a different job?
And what exactly does this copy want him to do?
Judging from all the information obtained so far, it is either to investigate the mystery of the canteen or to explore the 'disappearance' mentioned by Qin Bangming.
Today, he only got these two pieces of information.
If he has to sit here like an idiot every day and do nothing, then he will never clear the level in his life.
There was no time for oneself at all, and one was not even allowed to go to the toilet.
Is this still a human job? This is to be treated as a beast!
It was the first time that Cheng Ye felt so angry, but soon he calmed down again.
No, no, no.
He shouldn't have such emotions.
He just comes to play games in the dungeon, not a real worker here.
There was absolutely no need for him to empathize with them.
So what was the emotion just now?
Cheng Ye fell into deep thought.
But he was in a daze for less than two seconds. Before the manager could look over, the mouse in his hand moved again, as if he was just checking whether the form was done correctly.
Everything looks so normal.
Everyone had a calm expression on their faces, and no one seemed dissatisfied.
Some time passed.
The end of get off work bell finally rang.
It was like the sound of liberation.
At this time, the manager also spoke.
This was the first time Cheng Ye heard him speak all day long.
His voice was a little deep, like a middle-aged man's lowered voice.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's do the unfinished work tomorrow. It's already very late. Go back and rest early. Only when everyone has a good rest can we create greater value for the company."
"We must be clear that without the company giving us this precious job opportunity, we would not have the ability to survive."
“Everything we have now is because of the existence of the company.”
"Let us be grateful to the company together and be grateful for the company's efforts."
After saying that, the manager stood there with his eyes closed and his head slightly lowered, as if in silence.
Cheng Ye noticed that all his colleagues around him suddenly stood up and were doing this.
Qin Bangming pulled Cheng Ye's sleeve, and Cheng Ye quickly closed his eyes and followed suit.
Finally, after half a minute, the manager spoke again: "Okay, everyone, please go home and rest early."
He left the office first.
As his figure gradually disappeared, everyone seemed to have lost their shackles and instantly became lively.
Although no one spoke, it could be seen with the naked eye that their movements had become much brisker.
Many people turn off their computers and leave the office with empty hands.
Others followed one after another as well.
Cheng Ye also closed the computer.
Qin Bangming said from the side: "You must remember to bring medicine tomorrow, don't be so careless."
Cheng Ye nodded: "I almost didn't make it in the morning. I was really busy and forgot."
Speaking of this, Qin Bangming was stunned for a moment and said with deep sympathy: "Indeed, your home is too far away..."
Cheng Ye looked bitter and sighed: "Who says it's not the case..."
Qin Bangming sighed, with a slightly anxious tone: "Go home quickly. You live far away. It will take too long to go back..."
He paused for a moment: "I'd better bite the bullet and rent one in front of the company. Although it's 1,000 star coins a month more expensive, it's good that you can sleep nearly an hour longer!"
Qin Bangming looked at Cheng Ye worriedly.
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment.
What he just said, one thousand star coins.
Star coins...
Cheng Ye frowned, with a serious expression as if he remembered something.
Qin Bangming didn't know why, but he still babbled: "Remember to get up early tomorrow, or... why not just stay at my house today. I got off work so late today, so you have to get up at four o'clock tomorrow..."
"If you can't get up, you will definitely be late again. You said you are like this every day, and you might die from overwork one day... This company doesn't even allow you to have dinner..."
Cheng Ye listened to what Qin Bangming said.
The weird feeling in my heart is getting heavier and heavier, and the people around me are indeed gathering together, looking normal.
If Qin Bangming hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have felt it yet. He would have eaten one meal a day.
There may also be problems with the food. If you don’t prepare antidiarrheal medicine, you may not be full after eating, and you may have to have diarrhea all day long.
Oh, the company doesn’t allow me to use the restroom.
mmp. Cheng Ye was speechless.
…Wait, that’s not right.
Cheng Ye raised his head and looked at Qin Bangming who looked worried about him: "What time should we get to work?"
Faced with this question, Qin Bangming was a little stunned: "Six-thirty?"
Yes.
There is something wrong with this place.
Cheng Ye's eyes turned cold.
Rule 2 says you have to get up at six in the morning, but it doesn’t say what time the company starts work.
If he was really lazy until six o'clock, he would be late.
It was known that the fastest way from his home to the company was forty minutes, and it was never too late.
really……
Cheng Ye lowered his eyes.
The content of the rules may not be completely correct, and there may even be false rules in them.
after all……
Until now, the game has not said: Start the game.
Although he hasn't downloaded an official copy for a long time, his memory is very good, especially when it comes to life-related matters.
Before the start of any official copy, the game will inform you: [The game is loading...]
But not this time.
why?
Has he started playing the game now? Or...which world are you in?
Could it be that if there is a problem with the new model, the official copy will also have problems?
It shouldn't be...
The new mode is in testing...it can be officially copied...but it has been in progress for a long, long time...
Cheng Ye put back these complicated thoughts.
He smiled at Qin Bangming, because he knew the correct time to go to work.
Cheng Ye said easily: "I just want to confirm. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it tomorrow."
Qin Bangming also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go home quickly, don't delay any more."
Cheng Ye nodded and walked out with Qin Bangming.
There were countless people waiting for the elevator, and it was a dense crowd.
One head after another surrounded each other.
They are all people who are ready to go home and sleep quickly. How can they have their own lives? They are lucky not to have insomnia at night.
The mood that was a little exciting now calmed down.
After all, there was only more than an hour left before the next day, and there was nothing to be happy about, because the pleasure brought by getting off work dissipated while waiting in line for the elevator.
It probably took about seven minutes.
Cheng Ye came to the first floor.
The lighting on the first floor is magnificent, the floor reflects the light, and the entire hall is bright and clean, as if you have entered some high-end place.
Several security guards were wearing uniforms and maintaining order.
There are six channels at the gate, all of which require credit cards.
Cheng Ye followed the example of others and swiped his employee card.
After walking out of the office building, Cheng Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the cold wind that was unique to the night.
Is this what freedom feels like?
He actually had the slightest desire to stand here and enjoy the cold wind for a while longer.
But he couldn't. It was almost eleven o'clock, or maybe it was already eleven o'clock. He had to follow the crowd immediately and rush to catch the last late subway home.
Take a taxi...
He doesn't have that much money.
After pushing the memory of the original owner, Cheng Ye understood that the original owner was just a pauper.
Although the system only pushed a part of the memory, it was enough for Cheng Ye to understand his situation.
poverty.
Just one word.
Cheng Ye didn't stop any longer. He wanted to take a shower tonight, so he had to hurry up.
He quickly followed the crowd and walked towards the subway entrance not far away.
The last subway is at 23:11.
At this moment, he really felt that this copy might still have a little understanding of social animals.
After another crowded journey, Cheng Ye finally sat on a cold chair in the subway.
Because it was the last train, the subway seemed empty with few people.
It seemed as if the entire subway was booked by people from their company.
At a glance, almost everyone has an employee badge that belongs to this company.
That’s right, besides the social animals, who else is going home from the city center so late?
Cheng Ye smiled bitterly.
He took out the note from his pocket.
He felt that there must be new rules written above.
It is the rule that can solve his current confusing situation.
The wind blowing from nowhere calmed his anxious heart.
Cheng Ye opened the paper.
At this time, the system’s announcement sounded:
[Ding, after testing, the player has obtained the password to enter the instance. 】
[This password is the only prompt for the entire copy and can only be viewed once. 】
[Players are requested to treat this opportunity with caution. 】
[Start loading the game now. 】
[The game is loading...]
[Loading completed. 】
[Game name: Perspective. 】
[Type: Copies of this level will not be displayed. 】
[Number of people: Copies of this level will not be displayed. 】
[Your role: Ordinary employee. 】
[The task of this copy: Find it by yourself. 】
[The password for this copy: the player has already obtained it. 】
…
[Wish players a happy game. 】
After the broadcast ended, Cheng Ye's vision became clear again.
The glass opposite reflects the billboard outside the window.
They form a complete advertisement.
Repeatedly and tirelessly.
He was still sitting on the subway.
Still holding the piece of paper in his hand.
Now, he has truly stepped into the game.
So what happened today?
Cheng Ye frowned slightly, then thought about it and felt relieved.
In the past, every time before entering the game, the system would always show him a short foreground animation, and sometimes it would be a voice announcement.
It seems that now...it has become a personal experience.
Cheng Ye smiled bitterly and lowered his head.
what is this? Are you more sympathetic to the original owner? He doesn't need empathy.
Isn't he... just a social animal...
Aren't they just...ordinary people among thousands of people...
He has long passed the age when he had a heroic dream in his heart. In the tiring work day after day, hasn't he long lost hope?
Lost it?
Cheng Ye's eyes gradually became confused. Why couldn't he remember what he had done in the two years after graduation?
why……
It seems...I can't remember it...
Cheng Ye laughed at himself again. He still remembered that when he was studying, he always brought in all kinds of awesome male protagonists.
But later, I didn’t think so anymore.
He will only bring in the secretary who is always on call no matter how late it is, the guard who is dedicated to the hero, the housekeeper who is busy behind him when the hero and heroine are having sex in the big villa, and the guy behind him when the hero and heroine are bickering in the company. The workers who work overtime all night, or even the waiter next to him who is at a loss when the hero and heroine are having an argument...
He can only take the place of these people.
He is, these people.
He opened the note.
[1. Your sister is missing. You came to this company to find your sister. 】
[2. You discovered several hidden rules for working. If you don’t follow them, employees will be taken to the office by the manager. When he comes back, that person will always become a little dull. 】
[3. You have discovered that you can go to the cafeteria to eat in the evening, even though few people do so. If you want to go to eat, please be sure to leave on time at six o'clock and come back before six-thirty. 】
[4. The Human Resources Department should have your sister’s information. You have to find a way to go to the Human Resources Department. 】
[5. As long as you can replace the manager, you will have more freedom. However, if you become the manager, you will become a puppet...]
[6. Someone in this company really disappeared, but others didn’t feel it at all. Someone really disappeared! 】
…
New, rules...
