ID number 019

Li Zheng pulled Qiao Qiao out for air, with a thin straw dangling from his mouth, which smelled like bitter medicine.

"The moisture in the building is heavier than yesterday." Qiao Qiao rubbed his wet and greasy arms.

"I already have eczema." Li Zheng sighed.

"What is eczema?" Qiao Qiao cast innocent eyes, "Where is it, let me see."

Li Zheng emptied the medicine bottle and said solemnly: "Only my future daughter-in-law can see that place, no one else can."

Qiao Qiao blinked: "On the penis?"

Li Zheng: "..."

"Miss sister, I don't want to sit on this unicycle, so please let me down quickly, I'm afraid." He was a big and tall man, and he made a coy look.

Qiao Qiao hammered him.

"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts, take it easy." Li Zheng screamed in exaggerated pain, but he stood still. He stared at the girl in front of him, and felt that she had an outstanding temperament. She looked pure and somewhat isolated from the world. Down-to-earth and glamorous, the corners of the eyes and brows are neither thick nor light, just right, everywhere is the best.

Li Zheng's heart was filled with soda, bubbling and bubbling: "Qiao Qiao."

Looking at the girl downstairs, she tilted her head, her side face glowing with luster: "Huh?"

Li Zheng looked at her blankly: "I like..."

"What is that?!" Qiao Qiao exclaimed in vain.

Li Zheng choked: "Where?"

"That, that's it!" Qiao Qiao stretched his hand down, pointing to the second floor opposite, "Help me see, is there anything hanging in the corridor there?"

"It seems to be hanging...grass, it's a person, a person is hanging..." Li Zheng stood dumbfounded for a while before running downstairs, not forgetting to grab Qiao Qiao.

Li Zheng was young, strong and full of energy. He quickly blew up half a building by himself.

Chen Yang and his group gathered outside the gate of 201. In front of them was a female corpse hanging upside down. It was the second corpse today. The work card on the ground showed the identity of the headless corpse.

Chen Yang picked up his work card, and a whisper sounded in his ear: "There is a smell of smoke here."

smoke?Chen Yang's heart beat faster: "The one left by the monster?"

Chao Jian leaned on crutches: "Maybe."

Chen Yang shook the flashlight calmly, but he couldn't find any cigarette butts nearby, but he believed in Chao Jian's sense of smell, if Chao Jian said there was a smell of smoke, there must be one.

Although he didn't smell it at all.

Chen Yang's mind was running fast, and there are ten men still alive in the team.

Zheng Zhitan and Pan Lin didn't come down on the fourth floor. There were eight men present at this time. Excluding him and Chao Jian, the remaining six were Brother Yu, Wang Hao, Li Zheng, Mr. Zhang, Liu Liu, and Xiao Sun.

But women also smoke, not only men smoke, so there is no way to get rid of it, Chen Yang's thoughts got stuck, he covered his mouth with his hands by scratching the tip of his nose, and asked Chao Jane : "Can you lock the target through the smell of smoke?"

"No." Chao Jian said.

Chen Yanglian went to observe the current situation in disappointment. He and Chao Jian were the only ones standing next to the corpse, and the others were all standing a foot away.

Sister Wang vomited once in the morning, and now she vomits again. The mucus she vomited was bloodshot, and she was almost dying. Qiao Qiao and the mute took care of her.

Brother Yu and the rest of the men were all staring blankly, their nerve endings were weakened by repeated shocks, and they couldn't tense up.

Chen Yang didn't find anything unusual, he pursed his lips and looked at the corpse, this one was the same as the previous one, it was hung upside down from the ceiling without a head.

A bloody hexagon is reflected on the glass wall.

Chen Yang couldn't figure it out, hexagonal shape, corpse without head, what kind of taboo reminder can these two pieces of information make up?

The death of the girl with glasses caused a bigger reaction than the previous one, not for anything else, just because she had a mature body with a loli face, and her clothes were fresh and fresh, and she still had a bit of a scholarly temperament when wearing glasses.

"Miss Chen is so good, how can the monster do it?" Xiao Sun blew his nose sadly. He was only 170, wearing a shirt and trousers, with thin arms and legs, and a big head, like a toothpick holding a toothpick. Sourdough steamed buns.

There is also 170 men in the team, Liu Liu, who is wearing professional attire. He and Xiao Sun's company are next to each other, but they did not form a small team.

Because they all feel that each other is too good, 0+0 equals 0, it is better to be alone.

After hearing what Xiao Sun said, Liu Liu felt that he was an idiot: "Monsters still look at faces?"

People around heard the sound and noticed this side. Xiao Sun was afraid of being suspected by everyone, so he hurriedly yelled at Liu Liu: "Why are you looking at me when you ask this? I'm not a monster."

Liu Liu was sprayed with saliva, he wiped it over and over again and said it stinks, and finally cursed: "Crazy."

Xiao Sun pushed him: "Whoever you say is crazy, you are a monster!"

"Say you, you're crazy!" Liu Liu immediately fought back, pushing harder than him.

Brother Yu and Wang Hao stepped forward to fight.

The fight dragged on, and for some reason, the four of them got into a ball.

Li Zheng was still struggling with how to persuade the fight, but as soon as he got close, he was punched for no reason. He didn't know whose fist it was, and he joined the battle with a "I'm sorry".

The elders couldn't find any clues, couldn't deal with monsters, and couldn't escape. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer teammates, coupled with the heavy humidity and uncomfortable body, everyone was going crazy.

Liu Liu's elbow touched Li Zheng's chest, and an object hit him on the head the next second.

It was a small bag, pink.

Liu Liu: "..."

Li Zheng: "..." He picked up the small bag and carried it in his hand, dealing with the messy punches and kicks with one hand.

Chen Yang ignored Brother Yu and the others who were venting indiscriminately. He was thinking about Xiao Sun's words. The monster is one of a group of taskers, and the thinking mode retains the characteristics of human beings. Maybe it is really possible to look at the face.

When a pretty little girl violates a taboo, it will strike softly, and maybe talk to the other party before attacking, instead of pinching the head off when it comes up.

The mute came closer and showed Chen Yang the sticky note with a flashlight.

[Brother, the number is wrong, two are missing. 】

Chen Yang's eyelids twitched, and he counted quickly, and his eyelids twitched even more. It stands to reason that the number of survivors now is 16.

Minus Zheng Zhitan and Pan Lin who were working upstairs, as well as that crazy female white-collar who insisted that half of the team was monsters and had been hiding all this time, there should be 13 people here.

But when he counted, he found that there were only eleven.

Two of them were indeed absent, Chen Yang thought about it, it seemed that they were a man and a woman, and they were not from the same company.

Just now, Li Zheng made such a big commotion in order to get everyone together, so they couldn't all lose their hearing.

"Don't fight!" Chen Yang picked up Chao Jian's crutches to break up the battle. He briefly explained what happened, and everyone put aside their personal emotions and checked from company to company.

After a while, Chen Yang and the others found the two taskers in 302, one was dead and the other was fainted in a chair.

It was a young man who died.

When the first headless corpse appeared in the morning, the logic of the young man's thinking was still very clear. In order to prevent everyone from causing more panic, he emphasized that the death of the female corpse was not due to turning back to pick up the phone, but a violation of a taboo.

Now he was hanging upside down in the office, becoming the third headless corpse of this round.

"Another one..." Brother Yu shook his hands and took out a small half pack of cigarettes to distribute to others, but he didn't distribute them. Those who love to smoke have smoked too much these two days, and their throats are sore.

Brother Yu lit one by himself, he noticed Chen Yang's gaze and passed the cigarette case.

Chen Yang waved his hand casually. He leaned towards Jane and looked at the hexagons on the wall, wondering what he was thinking.

"Wake up." Qiao Qiao pinched the fainted girl, "She's awake."

The girl opened her eyes in a daze, she moved her eyes in a trance, and the next moment she hugged her head and screamed in horror.

"Ah!" The girl yelled like crazy, shaking violently all over her body. She was wearing a slim professional skirt, the skirt was placed on her thighs, and her legs were spread apart during the trembling...

Chen Yang, who was facing the girl, immediately moved the flashlight away. He looked around in a little bewilderment, as if he was looking for something, but he didn't know what it was.

At this moment, a coat was thrown from his eyes and hit the girl's leg.

Seeing this, Chen Yang realized that this was what he was looking for. He scratched the back of his neck, and whispered to Chao Jian who was throwing his coat, "You react so quickly."

The corners of Chao Jane's lips were pressed into a line, not wanting to talk to him.

The girl was still trembling. Qiao Qiao noticed something. Before she managed her expression well, everyone else could smell it... a foul smell.

Sparse water dripped down the chair and onto the floor. The girl was stunned. She covered her face tremblingly and began to cry. She had never been so ashamed or scared when she grew up.

"This, this..." Qiao Qiao glanced at her work ID, "Jiajia, it's fine, as long as you're alive, nothing is more important than being alive."

Jia Jia was not comforted, she cried convulsively.

Qiao Qiao looked at the others in a hurry: "You..."

The conversation stopped abruptly.

The current situation is a bit embarrassing. It is inconvenient for men to get close to Jia Jia. There are only four women and her.

Qiao Qiao curled his mouth and continued to comfort Jiajia who was sitting on the piss. It took her a lot of effort to make him stop crying.

"Jia Jia, your company is not this one, why are you not in your own company?" Qiao Qiao took the opportunity to ask.

"I, I'm from A305," Jiajia clutched the jacket on her lap and covered herself, "All the colleagues in the company have run away, and it's just me. When I searched, I always felt that the office was still full of people... "

Chen Yang made up the picture in his head, goosebumps arose, and he stretched out his hand towards Jane.

Chao Jane took away the crutch with a blank expression, and let him hold her arm.

"I'm really scared. Yesterday was my limit." Jiajia's shoulders twitched, "I'm even more scared after another one died this morning. I don't want to go back to the company, so I begged Mr. Yang to say that I want to go to his company." Company, I want to stay with him...he is a very nice guy, and he agreed without much hesitation."

"When Mr. Yang was looking for clues, I followed him all the time, but I was still suspicious. I was afraid that a hand would stick out from under the table, and a face would stick out..."

Chen Yang, who just got goosebumps, said, "..."

"Mr. Yang saw that I was scared, so he chatted with me in order to relax me," Jia Jia said, her tear-stained face turned pale again, and her voice was trembling badly, "We were talking , a lot of tentacles suddenly stretched out from the darkness, wriggling, they...they twisted his head off, a lot of blood, "

Jiajia scratched her face nervously and looked down.

"No...how could it not be, so much blood splashed on my face..." Jia Jia thought of a possibility, and could only make a "ho ho" sound from her throat, but couldn't utter a complete syllable.

Everyone was silent. When they came over, Jiajia had only a few faint blood stains on her clothes, not at all on her face.

She said that her face was spattered with blood, and that blood could only be... licked off by the monster.

The picture is not difficult to imagine, a big tongue licks the blood off the girl's face, and also licks the blood on her clothes, grabs it if it can't be licked off, and sucks it lightly.

Jia Jia touched the fuzzy blood stains on her clothes, feeling sticky, she vomited out in disgust: "Ouch——"

The sour smell of vomit permeated the air, and the air was damp and foul.

Qiao Qiao's white skirt was stained a little, she didn't care, Li Zheng pulled her back.

"Mr. Chen, don't ask, she's dead." Li Zheng motioned Chen Yang to look at the girl who was vomited to death. "At that time, it was impossible for her to see the appearance of a monster."

"I can't see it. It eats people and doesn't need to get close. It can stretch its head so..." Brother Yu recalled the horrible memory and took a deep puff of the cigarette.

Chen Yang looked at the girl lying on the armrest of the chair and kept vomiting. He knew that she was in poor condition, but he still had questions to ask.

"Jiajia, before the monster appeared, what were you talking about with Mr. Yang?"

His answer was a sound of about to vomit his stomach.

"Mr. Chen, I think it's better to ask later, let her take it easy." Wang Hao opened a bottle of water and gave it to Jiajia.

Jiajia took the water with trembling hands, and spilled it without taking a sip. She vomited and convulsed.

In fact, Chen Yang also thought that the girl should be given time to calm down. He would do this in the past, but this time he heard his serious questioning and insisted abnormally.

It's like there's no chance if you don't ask again.

Chen Yang suppressed the weird thoughts in his heart, changed his tone, and asked gently: "Jiajia, can you tell me what you talked about?"

The girl's head was tilted by the chair, with sour water hanging from the corner of her mouth, and she gasped intermittently: "Talk about which floor and where everyone's company is located, just chat casually, there is nothing else, I just started chatting with him, and he ……vomit……"

After vomiting a few times, his face turned blue and he closed his eyes.

"Dizzy." Brother Yu checked the girl's condition, "Do you want to wake her up again?"

"No, let her sleep for a while." Qiao Qiao couldn't bear to say, "Her spirit is so bad."

Mr. Zhang, who said very little, also opened his mouth, quite a bit like a big boss: "Yeah, this child is pitiful. I saw my teammate die and got PTSD. Let her recall it again, which is equivalent to making her suffer twice as much. And there's nothing to ask."

As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Yang with blame.

If Chen Yang was his employee on another occasion, it wouldn't be as simple as giving a look, but throwing a file over.

Chen Yang became a bad person inexplicably, he didn't want to explain, but just pulled Chao Jian out.

This round of monsters belonged to the Appearance Association. When dealing with the beauty of 201, he still had time to smoke, but dealing with the man of 302 was very simple and rude, very formulaic, and only focused on work efficiency.

Seeing that Chen Yang and Chao Jian didn't go up, everyone in the office stood in the corridor, and they were all relieved.

Jiajia's skirt is dirty and there is no way to get it done. Everyone has to wait for her to wake up in this place where you can see the headless corpse when you turn your head. If the two experienced old mission workers outside the door leave, they will stay here for a while. disturbed.

Now that they found that the old missionaries hadn't left, they felt much more at ease.

Liu Liu asked Qiao Qiao to inquire about the fortune of Gemini.

"Do you have to know?" Qiao Qiao didn't really want to flip through the horoscope book, she said in embarrassment, "In case of bad luck, you will regret asking me."

"Don't worry, since I asked, I won't regret it." Liu Liu begged in a friendly manner, "Help me take a look, please."

Qiao Qiao exhaled lightly: "Okay." She took out the horoscope book, turned to the page of Gemini, "Well, your luck is not bad."

"What does it mean?" Liu Liu was very dissatisfied with the result, his attitude was completely different from before, and he said angrily, "Can I get out alive?"

"It's not written on it." Qiao Qiao said speechlessly, "The constellation book is not a heavenly book."

Liu Liu was devastated and also felt ashamed, so he snatched the book to read, and then threw it to Qiao Qiao.

"Will it be pity for the fragrance and the jade?" Li Zheng caught the book and hit him on the head, "Will it be? Ah, will it be?"

Liu Liu pushed him away vigorously: "Get out of your mother."

"Okay, okay, stop beating." Qiao Qiao stopped Li Zheng who was about to hit someone with a book, "Stop beating even now."

Liu Liu snorted coldly in disdain, this woman really regarded herself as a fairy, and thought she could win him over with just a few words, how could she have such a big face, he was about to taunt, when the other party said distressedly: "Book It's all going to be broken."

Liu Liu: "..."

Xiao Sun felt that Liu Liu was very cowardly, and Qiao Qiao even reminded him not to ask, it was he who insisted on asking, and even said he didn't regret it, so he got slapped in the face.

He would never do such a stupid thing, or don't ask, and if you ask, don't force it.

Xiao Sun secretly asked Qiao Qiao about the fortune of Taurus in the past few days.

Qiao Qiao looked and looked, hesitant to say: "Tomorrow is your disaster day."

The corner of Xiao Sun's mouth that was smiling instantly pulled down, he shouldn't have asked, he regretted it, he really regretted it.The face was slapped.

"Isn't the horoscope book a little girl's way to pass the time? Believe in it, it's better to pray more." Brother Yu flicked the cigarette ash, "Take the disaster day as an example. Yesterday was the disaster day for Aries. Wang Hao is still alive and well. .”

"Yeah, I was scared to death yesterday, and I made it through." Wang Hao had lingering fears, and he hesitated to ask, "Qiao Qiao, what is the fortune of Aries today?"

Qiao Qiao flipped through the book: "Today is the lucky day for Aries, good luck."

Wang Hao was in a daze for a while, then realized after a while, he let out a long sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, that's good."

In the corridor, Chen Yang turned off the flashlight and sat on the wet floor to eat milk tablets, playing the information revealed by Jiajia in a loop in his mind.

Mr. Yang was killed in front of Jiajia. Before he died, he was chatting with her about "which floor is your company on?"

Which level of a few zeros has any connection with taboos...

Chen Yang drew a hexagonal shape on his leg with his index finger. He traced it over and over again, but his train of thought was still not clear.

The rules are always not played according to common sense, and the normal way of thinking will not work.

"Do you have a clue?" Chen Yang turned his head and searched for the outline of Chao Jian in the dim light.

Chao Jian said, "I just thought of it."

"What?" Chen Yang asked him immediately.

Chao Jian said nothing.

Chen Yang peeled a piece of milk and brought it to Chao Jian's mouth: "Give me a hint."

Looking down at Jane, she glanced at the milk tablet, lowered her head and bit it.

Chen Yang hissed: "You bit my hand."

Chao Jian said without apology: "I can't see."

"That's right." Chen Yang nodded, "Then can you let go now?"

Chao Jian bit the milk tablet and flicked the tip of his tongue, he said amidst Chen Yang's gasp: "Hexagonal, headless."

Chen Yang's thoughts were dragged away by these five words in an instant. He rubbed his bitten fingertips and said, "I know that the monster left a hexagon shape and the corpse has no head. I know all of these, but I think What doesn't make sense is what taboo those two things combined represent."

Chao Jian said: "You have to jump out of the fixed thinking."

"It's not that easy." Chen Yang subconsciously bit his fingertips. The hexagonal shape, the headless body, and the number of everyone's company, can these three pieces of information really constitute a taboo?He couldn't think of any connection between them.

The mute came out and saw that Chen Yang was in a daze, looking at him in a daze, with sugar in his eyes.

The light of the flashlight brought Chen Yang back to his senses, he turned his head and asked the little mute who came over: "How is Jiajia?"

[Still fainted. 】

The mute walked to the side, smoothed the denim skirt and sat down carefully.

[Brother, is there a taboo hidden in the topic of "how many?" 】

"It should be." Chen Yang said.

[But we are all different, each of us has a different company house number, and we have nothing in common. 】

Just as Chen Yang wanted to say "Yes", the word jumped to the tip of his tongue, but it froze the moment it slipped out from between his teeth.

No, there is something in common.

The house numbers of all companies have something in common.

There is one!

That is……

Chen Yang opened his mouth and made that sound silently. He turned around and knelt down in front of Chao Jian: "Headless doesn't just refer to the corpse, right?"

"In addition to the corpse, there are other things without heads." Chen Yang pressed Chao Jian's shoulder, his face was almost pressed against it, his breathing was short and hot, and his eyes were black and bright.

A hoarse response came out of Jane's throat: "Yeah."

Chen Yang's heart beat like thunder, the moment he was sure that this direction was right, the fog in front of him began to dissipate little by little.

When the first corpse came out in this round, the three information prompts indicated were: a regular hexagon, the corpse was upside down, and there was no head.

After the second corpse came out, there were still the same three reminders, but everyone unanimously summarized the reminders into two: a regular hexagon, and the corpse had no head.

After that, the third corpse appeared, and it was still the same reminder. When everyone communicated with each other, the information reminder was omitted, and it directly became "hexagonal, no head".

During this period of time, Chen Yang chewed the two reminders over and over again, trying to chew out something, he chewed it countless times, but found nothing.

Only now did he understand why.

He had been thinking of those two prompts separately, when in fact they were together.

Hexagon, no head.

Hexagons have no heads.

The difference of a comma has completely different meanings.

"I know..." Chen Yang said while drawing a hexagon on his leg, "I know what the taboo is this round."

The mute ran back to the office and called everyone out. She obediently sat next to Chen Yang and watched him solve the riddle.

Brother Yu and the others were unavoidably excited, they held back their curiosity with difficulty, and held up a flashlight to shine on Chen Yang.

Chen Yang drew a large hexagon in the notebook, and outlined it thickly.

"Look at this hexagon, does it look like it has no head?" Chen Yang vaguely tapped with the tip of his pen.

Everyone took a closer look: "Like."

"Mr. Chen's reminder made me understand a little bit..." Qiao Qiao narrowed his eyes.

"What do you understand?" Li Zheng looked blank.

There were several other people who were also at a loss.

"A hexagon, a corpse has no head, and a hexagon has no head." Chen Yang said, "Now let's add a head to it."

He drew up along the lines of the left and right sides of the hexagon and built a top.

"The corpse is upside down and has no head." Chen Yang said again, "We use the same method to add the head under the hexagon."

At this point, one-third of the people present have seen the taboo, and two-thirds are still ignorant.

"what is this?"

"What do you see?"

Chen Yang drew a dotted line in the middle of the hexagon with two heads added.

"now what?"
