A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

A group of people went to the cafeteria together first, and He Xiangwu was still sleeping soundly, as if living happily in an illusion.After putting Gu Jinhong on another bench, Xiao Fengdi re-placed the defensive charms beside the sleeping two.

"Shiqing, you have to be careful." Zeng Xin took out the recovery medicine from her item bar and handed it to Fang Shiqing, worried.She seemed to want to say something more, but she didn't know what to say specifically, so she could only shake his hand.

Her strength was so exaggerated that Fang Shiqing almost heard his knuckles click.

He knew it was because he was going to meet the boss again soon, so he nodded: "I will."

But he himself was not so frightened.Although he was almost chopped down by the boss with an axe just a few hours ago, but now the inventory is full of the corpse of the boss at the time, looking at those black boxes, he can't feel much fear now, just feel for her sorrow.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine." Xiao Fengdi handed the last few defensive charms to the two girls, and said calmly at the same time, "There's me."

Fang Shiqing felt that this was not appropriate.

"Boss, why don't I go there by myself," he said after deliberation, "This time the BOSS only called me alone, I'm afraid that if there are too many people in the same company, the relevant events will not be triggered."

There is only one body left, so it shouldn't be hard to find.If the trigger point of the event is at the moment when the collection is complete, but the result is stuck because of too many people, it will be embarrassing.

Moreover, if Xiao Fengdi stayed, the other people here would be safer.

Xiao Fengdi shook his head: "I have to go. I also have something to do."

Fang Shiqing remembered that the other party had to explore the past 20 years ago, so he didn't say anything else.

■

The next thing they are going to is the last special place.

——The financial office located diagonally opposite the factory director's office.

The two of them were the only ones acting together, and Fang Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

He was very used to this mode of being alone with only two people, and when there were more people, he always felt that someone was observing him, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

The two still went out through the window.Xiao Fengdi jumped out of the window first, then turned around and reached out to support Fang Shiqing very skillfully, and brought him to the flat ground.The whole action is done neatly.

After that, the two walked along the path in the backyard to the side of the building.

Fang Shiqing became inexplicably restless.Maybe it's because he has a premonition that the dungeon is about to end, and there must be a tough battle before the end; maybe this is some kind of bad flag; or maybe, it's just purely uneasy about facing the boss.

No one spoke at first.Because the other party was relatively silent before, Fang Shiqing didn't pay much attention.

When he was about to reach the place, Xiao Fengdi suddenly said, "She should like you quite a lot."

"Huh? ... who?"

Fang Shiqing's first reaction was the dungeon boss, but judging from his wording, it doesn't look like it.

"I mean, they. The girls in the player, Zeng Xinyou Qingyu, they all like you."

The other party's gaze stayed on the hand he had just shaken for a long time.

Fang Shiqing was confused: "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?" Now is not a suitable atmosphere for chatting.

"Just a casual chat. Are you a little nervous? Say something to ease it."

Was he discovered?Fang Shiqing didn't know why he was uneasy, he scratched his hair, and said: "Probably, but I like them too..."

Xiao Fengdi paused.

"...in the sense of friends. They must be the same."

After all, we have experienced many things together, and we can be regarded as life and death friends.Of course, speaking of all the teammates, the big guy in front of him is the one he feels the most kind to. After all, he has saved his life time and time again, and he is his benefactor.

"Why are you so sure they are friends?"

Xiao Fengdi stopped under the window root and turned to look at him with delicate eyes, "You have also heard of the so-called 'suspension bridge effect'. In a crisis situation, men and women who live together are prone to develop special feelings. .”

"But..." The drawbridge effect is not 100% effective.

"Especially, they're all dependent on you. In this environment, they choose to depend on you over anyone else, not someone stronger, more reliable—don't you think that means something?"

"..."

Fang Shiqing looked at each other in shock.Isn't the boss talking about himself?Is there anyone here stronger and more reliable than him?

He suddenly realized, so the boss is... unhappy that the girls don't rely on him?Could it be that the boss really wants to have a better relationship with the girls, so as to gain their trust?

No way?Normally, he doesn't look like he has a communication barrier with the opposite sex, and he doesn't show any attention to any girls. It's just the most ordinary attitude——

"Don't think about it," Xiao Fengdi pursed his lower lip and said, "Just answer my question directly. Don't you think they like you very much?"

"No, we're just good friends." Fang Shiqing really didn't understand what he meant, so he had to say honestly, "Boss, you probably don't know that the person girls really like is not what they love at all." I have this attitude."

He has never experienced a love affair, but has witnessed it more than once.

When a girl sees her sweetheart, there will be an irrepressible light in her eyes.I can't help but get closer to him, and when I talk to him, I always have a sweet breath, and I can't wait to give him all my things——

Just like the scene that once appeared in that fantasy: In the physical education class in high school, the girl who asked for leave as a trainee was obviously very uncomfortable, but she still insisted on bringing water to the boy she liked, just to get one of his smile.

That scene left a deep impression on him.

He did his best to describe his thoughts.The other party just looked at him quietly, his expression was always difficult to understand; he didn't know if he understood what he meant.

"Actually, it's also the other way around," Xiao Fengdi finally said after a long silence, "It's the same with men. People are like this. Once you have someone you like, you will try to treat him as nicely as possible, and even better. As good as it gets. Do you understand?"

clear?understand what?

Fang Shiqing's mind turned wildly.

——Can you feel this way, that is to say, the boss already has someone he likes, is this an experience?

Speaking of which, Xiao Fengdi has never said that he is single.He does never show any interest in the opposite sex, whether it is a player or an NPC posted upside down, but that may be the proof of his loyalty to his real lover; After being together, I never looked at other women again.

Fang Shiqing was very disappointed, and felt that his loss was inexplicable.For a person like a boss, shouldn't his life, work, and relationship go smoothly? This is a good thing.Of course it's a good thing.

He forcibly dispelled all the thoughts he shouldn't have, smiled and said: "Really, that's pretty good. But I... probably don't have a chance to like anyone, so I don't have a chance to understand. In reality, I You can only stay at home, it is impossible to fall in love and get married."

The other party looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly said, "It will be fine."

"Hey?"

"You will be fine," he said. "Modern medicine is so advanced, as long as you survive this game, after that...you will be fine."

"Well," it turned out to be about being sick.Fang Shiqing only thought that the other party was sending blessings, "I hope it will be like this."

After the conversation, his uneasiness dissipated a little.

The pointer of the watch has already pointed to four o'clock in the morning, and the last room is in front of him.

The two turned in through the window, and immediately found that the inside looked different from what they had imagined——

There are three or four sets of smaller desks lined up in the room, and various documents and office supplies are neatly placed on the desks.Strangely, a large electronic screen was installed on the wall of the room, which was out of tune with the surrounding environment.

The style of the screen is relatively outdated, with a mess of wires exposed underneath, connected to the simple console stacked next to it.

"What is this?"

"Uh, it looks like... monitoring. It's the monitoring system, um, the monitor."

In reality, monitoring systems have been widely used.Generally speaking, the front end of the system, that is, the camera, is arranged near the monitored location, and the recorded information is transmitted to the terminal and projected on the screen.Screens are often placed in security rooms and viewed by professionals.

"Speaking of which, are there cameras in the factory outside?"

"Yes," Xiao Fengdi affirmed, "but there are not many of them. I only saw three. There is one in the factory, which means that the scene of what happened is likely to be recorded."

Fang Shiqing couldn't help feeling very strange. In an ordinary factory, at least the security room should be an independent department with its own room. Why is the monitoring here placed in the financial room and messed up?It looks too unprofessional, as if it was done by amateurs.

Wait, amateurs?

Fang Shiqing suddenly remembered the pile of professional books he saw in the men's locker room.

He vaguely remembered the name on the locker, and hurriedly checked the desks of the treasurers, and sure enough, he saw a number plate with the same name on the middle one.

...the case was solved.

Probably, this system was created by the finance guy himself.

I don't know how he obtained the factory's permission. Anyway, the factory is not too big. Maybe the factory manager doesn't bother to hire someone to do security, so he just messes around like this?

Either way, it's an important clue.If it had been on during the previous incident, it might have captured some crucial footage.

"Is this monitoring still available?"

"……I have no idea."

Xiao Fengdi looked at him, and the two looked at each other.

Fang Shiqing scratched his head in embarrassment, but he forgot that the boss can do everything else, the only thing he is not good at is high-tech products.

"Then, let me take a look. First, check if there is an instruction manual... It seems that there is none."

He tried to tinker with the machine, but couldn't get it right.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing is not difficult to operate, but this is not a finished product sold by a regular manufacturer, but assembled by the finance guy himself. There are many places where the use method is not standardized; Fang Shiqing himself is actually a liberal arts student, and he has always been interested in electronic products. Only know the basic way of use, the principle is nothing.

After finally successfully starting the machine, he really didn't dare to move it anymore, for fear that if he was not careful, he would not only fail to find the clue, but delete the useful video.

Xiao Fengdi could only wait by the side, walking back and forth in the room from time to time.Fang Shiqing felt that the other party seemed a little irritable; but this was also understandable.

The things recorded in this surveillance are likely to be the truth of something that happened nearly 20 years ago.And this truth may be exactly what the other party is looking for.

"I don't think I'm going to be able to do this," he said, wiping off his sweat. "Boss, we have to go back and find someone else to help."

"Surveillance?" After listening to the description, You Qingyu was also a little embarrassed, "I have taken relevant professional courses, but I have never practiced it... Can you go over and see the specific situation first?"

"Of course, but..."

Fang Shiqing glanced at Zeng Xin, who forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I'll just stay by myself."

She was obviously frightened, but not so frightened that she couldn't move.Fang Shiqing was a little sorry, but he didn't have time to think about a better solution.

The three returned to the financial room together.You Qingyu knelt down to tinker with the machine. Although she had spoken conservatively before, it went smoothly after she got started. She quickly reflected the images of several cameras on the screen.

There are a total of five cameras in the factory, two in the warehouse, two at the main entrance, and one in the factory building.Looking at the camera directly above the factory building, Fang Shiqing felt creepy: I don't know if it was done on purpose, but it happened to be located at the oblique upper corner of the magic circle with a diameter of more than three meters on the ground.

You Qingyu continued to look through the storage device: "What time period do you want to see the monitoring information of that camera?"

"Around nine o'clock in the evening." Xiao Fengdi pointed to the camera projection in the factory building, then simply dragged a chair, sat down in front of the screen, and stared at the screen.

You Qingyu was a little stressed: "Well, Brother Xiao, can you stop staring at me like that? It will take me a while to find it. If you sit here and watch, I will feel hairy all over."

"..."

Xiao Fengdi didn't say much, just stood up silently and walked to the other side of the room.

"Then let's search this room first." Fang Shiqing suggested.After entering the financial room, everyone's attention was focused on the surveillance, and no other clues or black boxes were found yet.

The other party did not respond.Fang Shiqing walked up to him, put his hand on his arm, and comforted him: "Don't worry, let's find something else to do, and it will be fine soon."

"……All right."
