In front of the huge oil painting, a man in a black trench coat stood, holding a skull cane and tilting his head to observe.
After looking at it for a while, there was no change in the canvas.
But just as he was passing by, he heard a sigh, and seemed to see the people in the painting move.
[No. 311 (retained), painting title: Journey to Ruiwo. 】
"Ah……"
Before he had time to read the annotation below, Jiang Chenchuan heard a sneer coming from the painting, and a chilling chill slowly climbed up his spine and up his neck. He took a step back suddenly, and then he felt an inexplicable feeling permeating the museum. It was so cold, and there seemed to be something hiding in the surrounding shadows, watching him.
No wonder those staff members hurried back to the lounge as soon as they finished their work, not wanting to stay for a moment longer.
There were occasional footsteps upstairs, but when I looked up, I saw no one.
"After the inspection, go back and rest."
Suddenly, there was a voice from behind.
Jiang Chenchuan turned around and saw a knight of the escort, wearing a white uniform and a corresponding long sword. His face was solemn, without any expression, and he walked without making a sound, like a ghost.
He nodded, and the guards didn't seem to want to stay any longer, so they turned around and prepared to leave.
"etc."
Jiang Chenchuan was stopped.
The guard who had just taken two steps seemed to have thought of something, and turned around and said, "I don't think I've seen you before."
"I'm new here. I just joined the company not long ago. This is my employee ID card."
Jiang Chenchuan answered questions fluently, his face was not red and his heart was not beating. As a detective, telling lies with open eyes is one of his necessary courses for the smooth progress of the investigation. For this reason, he even went to an unknown theater to hang out for a while. , I secretly learned a lot of acting skills.
The escort nodded:
"Remember to follow the employee rules."
employee rules?
The client did not seem to mention any employee rules.
People here didn't seem to like to talk. Jiang Chenchuan responded, and the guards stopped caring about him and went on patrol by themselves.
Based on memory and prompts, Jiang Chenchuan found the client's lounge. Each employee here has his own independent lounge without interfering with each other. The employee's name and work status are hung on the door. The night shift is long and boring. After checking, go back to the break room and wait until the next working time to go out and check again.
Pushing open the door of the client's lounge, what comes into view is a bed. There is a set of tables and chairs beside the bed. There are scattered books on the table that can be seen everywhere. The entire space can be read at a glance.
Click——click——
The clock embedded in the wall was rotating mechanically. In the iron box under the table, there was a normal supply of water and food. After looking through it at will, it was about a week's supply.
Not only that, there are emergency medicines and nutritional injections in the box. Even if you are seriously injured, you can survive in this small enclosed space.
Jiang Chenchuan found the client's badge on the table, and when he looked up, he noticed that there was this warning slogan posted next to it.
[Warning: D-level staff are prohibited from entering the seventh underground floor! 】
Opening the client's employee ID card, there is a big sign printed on it:
Class D.
"Buzz——"
It seemed like a roar coming from deeper underground, and the sound carried through the entire museum.
Along with the sound, the lights above the head went out for a while. After an unknown number of seconds, they inexplicably returned to normal.
After the sound disappeared, there was deathly silence.
The soundproofing of the lounge is very good. You can't hear any noise when you stay in it. It's so quiet that you can hear the beating of your own heart.
Night shift personnel are not allowed to talk to each other and are not allowed to enter other people's break rooms.
Everyone has to spend a long night in this small space, and they can’t leave after get off work until seven in the morning. During this period, the entire museum is closed and no entry or exit is allowed.
"Don't enter the negative seventh floor."
Jiang Chenchuan murmured softly.
This museum looks normal, but everything is weird.
Human beings seem to have this kind of thing in common: the more you are not allowed to do something, the more you want to do it.
Of course, Jiang Chenchuan just wanted to complete the commission and did not want to die.
"Ding--"
Along with the beep, the red light above the head lights up.
This means that it is his turn to check the status of the collection.
There was no other way. He came in on behalf of the client and had to complete the corresponding work without exposing himself.
After hanging up his hat and windbreaker, Jiang Chenchuan put on his staff's coat, picked up the work record book on the table and walked out.
The cold corridor was empty. Every lounge he passed showed that someone was resting inside, but no sound could be heard. Every once in a while, you could see the clock embedded in the wall spinning mechanically, and the time was moving. Accuracy seems to be particularly important here.
The area where the client is responsible for the inspection is the third underground floor. The middle of the entire building is circular, with various collections placed. On both sides are employee work areas or rest rooms. The inspection can be done by walking around the corridor.
As soon as I walked through the employee area, I saw an old notice posted on the wall.

People like Jiang Chenchuan, who is a bit of a reader, will read all the contents on the notice word for word. As they read, they will see something wrong.
"Huh?"
Jiang Chenchuan made a confused sound.
The paper on which the notice was posted appeared to have been opened.
Jiang Chenchuan raised his hand and tore off the sticky tape. On the back of the paper, there seemed to be two words carved crookedly with a knife:
"Run away!"
