Pei Jingshen sighed after hearing this, "I hope he will feel better after taking a bath tonight."
Both of them fell silent.
It was written in the rules that you must go to the shower area to shower at the end of each day.
In other words, if one day is missed, the infection is likely to develop in a direction they cannot predict.
Now all they can do is silently hope that Xu An is okay.
The two did not go directly to the workshop, but took the time to walk around the factory.
In addition to the dormitories, canteens and workshops they visited, there were also several buildings with gray and white walls that looked unremarkable, just like ordinary office buildings in the real world.
And when Lin Ting walked to the building where the man in a black suit was found yesterday, he suddenly found countless stones and sand piled next to the building, like a factory that had just been demolished.
Strangely, water vapor emerges from the sand from time to time, and it seems to contain huge temperature.
The ruins have been surrounded by a cordon, and it is obvious that this is an "unauthorized area" in the rules.
The two of them made a tacit agreement not to get closer and continued to move forward.
But as they walked around, they gradually discovered that the buildings in this candy factory had no regularity at all. Some were straight and straight, while others were twisted and twisted, like a twisted maze.
As the fog became thicker and thicker, they gradually felt that something was not good.
Pairs of scarlet eyes gradually emerged from the surrounding woods, staring directly at them, making swallowing sounds from time to time.
Pei Jingshen saw something, his pupils shrank, and he stopped Lin Ting's body.
Following his gaze, Lin Ting saw a broken leg hanging under the tree trunk in front of him.
Bloody and fresh.
Looking at the broken leg that seemed to be a real person, both of their expressions became ugly.
"Let's go back quickly." Lin Ting said.
Although this place is not marked as a restricted area, it is obviously very dangerous.
Pei Jingshen refused to comment and followed Lin Ting back a few steps.
And just as they were getting further and further away from the thick fog, there was a faint roar of rage coming from the depths of the forest.
The harsh sound shook every tree, and the two almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Lin Ting held on to the nearby trees, and Pei Jingshen held on to her, so she didn't fall.
Something was crawling in the soft soil, running toward them at extremely fast speeds.
Lin Ting had quick eyesight and quick hands. He didn't have time to take into account the distance between him and Pei Jingshen, so he grabbed his hand and ran towards the light.
In the light, the little boy named Shen Yubai looked expressionlessly at the clasped hands of Lin Ting and Pei Jingshen.
It was like watching their panic with cold eyes.
With a blood-curdling scream, Lin Ting and Pei Jingshen suddenly fell to the concrete floor. But something deep in the soil howled, and a liquid of unknown color popped out and disappeared into the soft soil.
The little boy was gone.
Lin Ting wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought it was because he was too nervous and had hallucinations.
Pei Jingshen's chest rose and fell violently, and his amber pupils stared deep into the woods.
There was still silence there, as if the riot just now didn't exist at all.
After they calmed down, they stood up in a hurry, wiped the dirt off their bodies and walked towards the factory building where they worked.
Along the way, they said nothing, quietly lowering their heads in thought.
The sound deep in the woods just now was definitely not something that humans could make.
Lin Ting immediately thought of a tiger or a lion.
But she immediately rejected the idea. How could there be wild animals running into the candy factory?
And as they quickly approached the factory, they heard a woman sobbing in the distance.
Even though it's broad daylight, hearing cries in the world of ghost stories still makes people's hair stand on end.
But as the two of them got closer and closer to the factory, they discovered that it was the girl who was timid in the cafeteria before, squatting at the door of the factory and crying as if there was no one around.
The old employees around her passed by without even looking at her. They walked directly into the factory and started joking with familiar colleagues.
Lin Ting and Pei Jingshen:...
Lin Ting stepped forward and handed the girl a tissue and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"
When the girl saw that it was Lin Ting, she seemed to have found someone to rely on. She threw herself into her arms with a "wow" sound and her body kept trembling, "Yesterday... Chen Xin, who worked the night shift last night, died. He... He died at my workstation..."
Chen Xin? Who is that?
Lin Ting looked at Pei Jingshen blankly.
Pei Jingshen's eyes were still full of shock, and he lowered his voice and explained: "Chen Xin is also one of the national athletes this time, but he works the night shift."
Lin understood.
It's not that she doesn't care about other national athletes, but she is really shielded from people who are not good-looking.
Lin Ting stood up and looked into the room.
People around were still chatting and laughing, it was so lively.
But there was only one table, which was covered with broken pieces and blood stains, which spread all the way to the bottom of the table. The thick blood dripped on the ground, making a "tick-tick-tick" sound. The white walls were splattered with bright red blood, like blooming red plums.
The smell of blood filled the air, and even Lin Ting, who had experienced the world of ghost stories, couldn't help but retching.
Lin Ting took two steps back, thought for a long time, and then said to the air:
"I want to know if Chen Xin violated known rules. If not, please send us the cause of death."
This was the first time Lin Ting entered the world of ghost stories and asked the Ghost Story Center for help.
Li Hui, who was at the center of the strange story, hesitated for a moment and decided to send the cause of Chen Xin's death to the national athletes.
[When 111 showed up at the production workshop last night, the badge part showed a black and white photo. After Chen Xin answered, he was blocked. 】
Lin Ting then realized that Chen Xin had violated Article 4 of the Production Personnel Code.
[Each workshop is equipped with a supervisor who wears blue overalls and is equipped with a name tag, the information on which is a color photo and job number].
But she didn't expect that the pitfalls of this rule were not only the badge she expected to wear, but also the color of the photo that needed to be paid attention to.
And black and white photos aren’t…
Posthumous photo?
Thinking of this, Lin Ting felt a chill running down his spine.
While she was deep in thought, Pei Jingshen had already used the intercom to call 111 to solve the problem of blood splatter in the factory.
Within five minutes, 111 walked up to the three of them with a smile on his face, and said lovingly to the girl who was squatting on the ground crying: "No. 335, what's wrong? Why have you been wronged?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ting saw with sharp eyes the badge dangling from his slightly arched body. It was clearly a black and white photo!
