early morning.
Lin Ting suddenly woke up from the nightmare, her heart beating rapidly and she was breathing heavily.
Her sweat had soaked the sheets, and her fingers clenched tightly on the quilt, subconsciously trying to grab something to protect herself.
"What's wrong?" Luo Fei, who had just woken up, heard the movement in the bed next to him and sat up. He was not surprised to see Lin Ting's look, "Have you had another nightmare?"
Lin Ting's heartbeat was still very fast and her thoughts were very confused.
She remembered entering a door in her dream, where there were all kinds of advanced machines that were completely inconsistent with the old-fashioned decorations of a candy factory.
A hundred-inch screen, a console, various buttons, and a huge black pile in the center of the house...
What exactly is that?
Lin Ting tried to recall the details in the pile, but they became increasingly blurry as if against her, gradually escaping from her memory.
Soon, Lin Ting's violent heartbeat in her chest gradually calmed down. She leaned on the bed and turned her head to meet Luo Fei's worried eyes.
"I'm fine." Lin Ting grinned with a smile.
"Really..." Luo Fei looked at Lin Ting's temples, which were already wet with sweat, suspiciously. After a while, he finally said, "I think you always have nightmares. Why don't you go see a psychiatrist after you go out?"
Lin Ting was stunned for a moment and smiled helplessly.
The reason for her nightmares was not illness, but talent.
But the talents of all the chosen ones must be kept secret from everyone. This is a weight for their lives.
"Let's go out first and then talk." Lin Ting pulled out two pieces of paper next to him and said while wiping his sweat.
Luo Fei pursed his lips and said, "That's right."
After the two went out, they happened to bump into Pei Jingshen who had just come out in the corridor.
At this time, Pei Jingshen's face was full of fatigue and numbness. Lin Ting felt that something was wrong with him, but he didn't say much.
Today, the canteen still serves porridge and side dishes, which is not a burden to a few people.
Pei Jingshen told them that after working the night shift today, he went back to the dormitory alone.
Lin Ting looked at his slightly stooped body and frowned.
Pei Jingshen was in a strange state, as if he was suddenly infected.
She didn't show it and came to the factory with Luo Fei as usual.
It was still early at this time, and there were not many employees present. 222, who was next to Lin Ting, was already sitting at the work station, holding a toothpick in his mouth, looking unruly.
Seeing Lin Ting sitting down, 222 suddenly came over with "hehe" and said jokingly: "Sister, I heard that the new supervisor is quite familiar with you? Can you also ask her to take care of me more?"
Lin Ting glanced at him and said, "How to take care of him?"
"It's harmful. Just don't catch me." 222 scratched his head and showed a silly smile that he thought he was honest. "The new official has three things to do when he takes office. I'm afraid that she will burn me."
Lin Ting rolled his eyes and raised the corner of his mouth to look at 222, "Since I have something to ask for, what benefits are you going to give me?"
222's face froze, and he was stunned for a long time before answering, "The meat from 111 that day was not enough for her?"
"Where did my friend eat meat? Didn't you eat all of it? To tell you the truth, my friend was so angry that night, and later told us that he would kill you. Hmm... I don't know who will be taken next. How about shabu-shabu?"
Lin heard how serious this matter was. He looked around and finally his eyes fell on 222. Sure enough, his expression changed immediately after hearing this, as if he was still trying to remember something.
"I...I ate...I ate 111?" 222 muttered for a long time. His originally rosy face turned very pale, and the fat accumulated due to obesity shook uncontrollably, as if he had discovered something terrible. .
He stroked Lin Ting's arm as if seeking comfort, his small eyes still a little moist, "Sister, haven't you always wanted to know something? Help me in any way you can. I only have one request. Ask the supervisor not to ask for help next time. Can you please cross my name off the list?"
Lin Ting narrowed his eyes.
List? What list?
Lin Ting thought that the employee list he had sneaked into the 111 office also had their names on it.
Could it be that if you cross a name off that list, it will be erased from the ghost story world?
Lin Ting briefly reasoned, then looked at 222 with a suspicious expression.
"Why should I make such a bad deal with you? How would I know if you are trying to help me? No!"
The flesh on 222's face was squeezed into a ball, and he said impatiently: "How could I lie to you? Sister, I have been in the factory for so long, why don't you know? Just do me a favor and ask the questions you want to know. Can I answer everything I can?"
Lin Ting continued to look unbelieving as before.
"So, what do you know about the Security Department?"
When 222 heard the words "Security Department", his expression changed, his eyes rolled around a few times, and after careful observation that no one was eavesdropping, he whispered: "I know the people in the Security Department are afraid of willow trees and the sun. "
She had already analyzed that she was afraid of the sun, but this was the first time she heard about the fear of willow trees.
But she still kept a straight face and said with a cold scoff: "We already know this, let's talk about something strange."
222 was stunned for a moment, thought for a long time and then spoke again: "If you want to see those people in the Security Department, you must get the key."
"Key?" Lin Ting blinked, "Where's the key?"
"The key to the underground security room. Only by getting that key can you reach the core floor."
Core floor? Could it be what Zhou Qiaoqiao said...the second underground floor of the security building that ordinary people cannot see?
"How can I get the key?" Lin Ting asked.
222 raised his chin and pointed in the direction of the packaging workshop, "The key is right there."
Lin Ting looked at the sharp blades outside the packaging workshop, remained silent for a long time, and turned back to look at 222 coldly.
"You lied to me."
222 shook his head, his expression no longer had the playful smile of the past, but became very serious.
“If you don’t get into the packaging room, you’ll never get to the heart of the candy factory.”
Lin's expression changed when he heard him mention "core", and he looked at 222 with confusion in his eyes.
How did he know that he wanted to investigate the core?
Why is the packaging workshop so important in his opinion?
"Last question, how do I enter the packaging workshop?"
