ID number 019

The hexagon on the wall gave Chen Yang the feeling that it was the last big question on a math paper.

At the first glance, he felt that this question seemed to have some ideas, so he quickly wrote the word "solution", wanting to write some formulas as soon as he felt good.

And then no more.

The word "jie" is the beginning and the end.

Chen Yang shifted his attention from the hexagon to the corpse, the head was gone, and the work permit fell to the ground unhinged.

Judging from the wound on the neck of the corpse, the head was bitten off with one bite.

The monster ate her head and drained her blood.

Chen Yang scanned the corridor on the first floor, held up the work card of the female corpse and asked, "Is anyone her colleague?"

A middle-aged woman vomited and said, "I... I am... vomit... I am Xiaoqin's colleague, and I work in the same department as her."

"At nine o'clock, everyone went up. Now it's past nine twenty, and she's not in the company. Why did she come to the first floor?" Chen Yang asked.

"She lost her mobile phone on the first floor, and asked me to accompany her downstairs to look for it." The middle-aged woman spat yellow water, "As soon as I turned around, she was like that."

"I just turned around, and I didn't hear anything..." The clothes in front of the middle-aged woman were covered with vomit, and she didn't care to clean it up, crying with a broken expression.

"Another one who lost his life by picking up his cell phone." Wang Hao swallowed, "There is no signal here. If you lose your cell phone, just throw it away. Don't look back to pick it up."

"If you want to say it clearly, it will cause more panic if you don't know clearly. They were killed not because of the mobile phone. It's a taboo. They all violated the taboo!" Different voices came from around the corner.

Apart from the young man who spoke, there were several other people huddled around the corner, they dared not approach or look.

From yesterday to today, they have seen several horrible corpses and monsters, but they have not adapted to it psychologically, and they will not be numb, but even more frightened.

"Why did this happen to me? I just came to work in the company yesterday morning. I can't go to work honestly. I'm already tired and annoying enough to enter this kind of world..."

A young woman with a ponytail cried out her glasses. She clutched a crumpled dark blue skirt and dug her fingernails in. "Some people who committed crimes but didn't get retribution, and those corrupt officials, we should let them in." , it has nothing to do with us, we are just ordinary people."

These words resonated, and there were more voices of resentment.

"Yeah, it's all us hard working dogs, why don't rich people come in, why don't they have to go through this..."

"Isn't there Mr. Zheng?"

"He also works for others, what kind of rich man is he?"

When Qiao Qiao in the corridor heard this, she turned her head and said, "I'm a rich man, so I'll give you my name."

"Will rich people work in the human resources department?" Questions followed.

"It's boring." Qiao Qiao blinked her big sincere eyes.

Li Zheng said, "I testify."

"Six figures." Li Zheng picked up the small pink bag he was holding for Qiao Qiao.

There was silence around the corner.

The grievances have completely disappeared, and the rich have to suffer like this, which makes them feel a little better.

"I'm not the only rich person here." Seeing that her purse was the focus, Qiao Qiao waved her hand, her modesty was just right for a little girl, and it wouldn't make people feel that she was showing off.

The mute dialed the watch on her wrist silently. It was her 19th birthday present, and the price was one digit more than Qiao Qiao's bag.

Chen Yang took this scene into his eyes. At the train station, he knew that the little mute was rich.

The mute looked at Chen Yang, his small dark eyes were full of cleverness and harmlessness.

Chen Yang motioned her to look at the hexagons on the wall.

[Is it related to taboo? ] The mute held up a post-it note and asked.

"I'm not sure yet." Chen Yang passed by the middle-aged woman's work ID card, "Sister Wang, did your colleague say anything strange or do any strange movements during his lifetime?"

After Chen Yang asked, he knew that this question was meaningless.

The clues will only be hidden in ordinary words, related to ordinary things.

The rules like to play like this, never tired of it.

The middle-aged woman was supported by Brother Yu, and her spirits were very bad: "No, we didn't do anything, we just searched the office like yesterday, and occasionally said a few words, and it was all related to getting out alive. She said that if I got out Just spend all the money you saved, go on a trip, celebrate your new life..."

"She is a fresh graduate who graduated this year. She is a kind-hearted little girl. After entering here, she is stronger than me and has been comforting me..." The middle-aged woman broke down in tears.

Brother Yu fished her to the corner and told her to stay away from the corpse.

Chen Yang counted the number of people, including him, there were seventeen people in total. He couldn't be sure who was not upstairs when the headless female corpse was killed.

Those who act alone have no witnesses, and those with more than two people may conceal, and the original intention of concealing may not be love or friendship, it may also be...fear.

I know I dare not say it.

Chen Yang observed each teammate imperceptibly, and said, "The hexagon is probably a taboo reminder for this round, let science students explain it."

The first one to take action is Little Fairy Qiaoqiao. She seems to have learned to dance since she was a child.

"You majored in science?" Chen Yang said in surprise.

Qiao Qiao smiled back with a reserved smile.

Not long after, eight people gathered in front of the hexagon on the wall, and the proportion of science students was neither high nor low.

However, more than half of these eight people have graduated for many years. They looked at the hexagon, their eyes were darkened, and their minds were full of snowflakes.

This is not an ordinary real world. This group of people is facing the danger of death, and their thoughts cannot be clear. They went to sit down at the small table in the hall, spreading paper and pens and whispering to each other, just like the scene of a random exam.

"Find the interior angle sum of a regular hexagon?"

"How much is each interior angle?"

"..."

"Who knows the formula for the area of ​​a hexagon?"

"I might know, I'll figure it out."

"I remember that there are several area formulas, let's list them all."

"..."

"How do you calculate the diagonal? How many?"

"I don't know, I don't remember."

"I remember, it's just on my lips, damn it, I can't remember it all at once."

"It's over, I will return everything I learned to the teacher."

"..."

"What is the side length?"

"..."

Chen Yang listened for a long time, he seemed to understand everything, but he didn't seem to understand, he took out a pen and paper, wanted to try, but couldn't write for a long time.

At this time, Chen Yang couldn't help but think of an old saying, when the book is in use, you will hate it less.

Frustrated, Chen Yang pressed the pen to the paper, and the four characters "powerless" were engraved on his forehead. He turned his head and met Zheng Zhitan who was on the other side of the aisle.

Zheng Zhiqin looked at him with his head propped up for an unknown amount of time, looking like a dog who is lonely and infatuated.

Chen Yang felt goose bumps on the scar on his left ear, and he was about to turn his head back, when he saw Zheng Zhitan flipping the paper in front of him, and there was a line of words on it.

【Come here, I will teach you how to solve the problem】

What was written on the paper was that sentence, but in fact there were a few words missing. What Zheng Zhitan really meant was - come here and let me lick a couple of mouthfuls, and I will teach you how to solve the problem.

Chen Yang ignored it, and glanced at Pan Lin next to Zheng Zhitan, who was sleeping curled up.

Pan Lin didn't wake up when the headless body was discovered. He had heavy dark circles under his eyes, his crooked nose and chin were bitten off, and he looked very haggard. It was obviously from last night. After being rubbed hard in the second half of the night, my spirits were sluggish during the day.

Probably because Chen Yang's eyes stayed on Pan Lin's for a while, Zheng Zhitan suddenly gave a light laugh, which meant nothing to him.

Chen Yang didn't understand why, the next moment his back felt inexplicably cold, he turned his head and saw that Chao Jian was staring at him.

"What are you looking at?" Chao Jian clasped her icy knuckles tightly, something was about to burst out of his heart.

Chen Yang unconsciously got a little shorter: "I look at Pan Lin."

Smiling at Jane: "Does it look good? Brother."

Chen Yang shook his head.

Chao Jian was still laughing: "It's not good to see what you are looking at."

Chen Yang: "..."

"I'm going to the bathroom." The moment she turned her back to Jane, the curvature of her lips disappeared without a trace, and a terrifying gloom burst out in her eyes.

Chen Yang sat in a daze, and the mute came to him with a post-it note to discuss the hexagon, and his mind was diverted.

in the bathroom

Standing in front of the pool, Chao Jian crushed milk flakes and poured them into the pool with downcast eyes.

There were footsteps approaching outside, and a smell of perfume like burning thatch wafted in from the door, all the way to Chao Jian.

Chao Jian crushed the third milk tablet, grabbed a handful and crushed it one at a time, and poured them into the pond one by one.

Zheng Zhitan straightened his clothes and hair in front of the mirror: "Paranoidism breeds suspicion. I don't think your suspicion is very obvious. How did you hide it? It took a long time to hide it."

Chao Jian unscrewed the faucet, a thin stream of water rushed down and hit a pile of crushed powder, the white water flowed down one by one, he watched for a moment, and the sinister aura around him was suppressed little by little.

"My doctor told me that focusing on one thing will help you restrain yourself. It seems that what she said is not all nonsense." Zheng Zhiqin wet his hands with water and stroked the broken hair scattered on his forehead. "It is time to restrain yourself." , Suspicion is disgusting, no one can stand it."

All the white powder in the pool was washed away. He fumbled in Jane's pocket and found nothing. He turned on the faucet and turned to go outside.

A soft voice sounded from behind, full of lofty pity: "Love begets terror, love begets demons, it's really pitiful."

When Chao Jian walked to the door, his figure froze suddenly, his whole back was so stiff, he took two steps back, and slammed the bathroom door hard.

Chen Yang chatted with the mute for a while, but Chao Jian hadn't come back yet.

Seeing Chen Yang turning her head in one direction from time to time, the mute said "ah".

"My brother went to the bathroom and never came back. I'll go and have a look." Chen Yang hurriedly crossed the hall and ran towards his destination.

"What's wrong with Mr. Chen?" Qiao Qiao stopped the pen in his hand and looked at the mute, asking with concern.

Dumb sticky note book.

【Go to the bathroom to find his brother△｀】

"Could something be wrong?" Qiao Qiao's crescent-like eyebrows frowned.

"Mr. Chen's younger brother has the aura of a big boss, what can happen." Li Zheng squeezed her shoulders and thumped her back.

"That's right." Qiao Qiao muttered and continued to calculate, her pen tip suddenly paused, "I seem to have caught a glimpse of Mr. Zheng going to the bathroom, he had a conflict with Mr. Chen's brother, the two won't fight again, right? "

"How about I go and see?" Li Zheng said, "But if there is a fight, it's useless for me to go there. With their skills, I can't fight."

"You, you are not good at writing, you are not good at martial arts, and you are not good at courage." Qiao Qiao shook his head and sighed.

"..."

Li Zheng sat down beside him dejectedly. He took out a medicine from his bag, poked it open and took a few sips. He was so bitter that he swears.

Qiao Qiao said in disgust, "And I'm afraid of taking medicine."

Li Zheng vomited blood and died.

When Chen Yang was still some distance away from the bathroom, Chao Jian appeared in his field of vision, and he quickened his pace and ran over.

"You..." Chen Yang's breathing tightened suddenly, and he asked Chao Jian nervously, "What's wrong with your left leg?"

Chao Jian's crutches were left in the hall, useless, he walked smoothly when he went to the bathroom, and now his left leg is almost dragging on the ground.

"It's nothing," Chao Jian said one second before, and then stopped in the next second. He looked down at Chen Yang sideways, and pursed his lips and said, "My leg hurts."

Chen Yang's face turned cold: "Zheng Zhitan is also in the bathroom? Did he hit you?"

Bend over to Jane and roll up the pant leg of her left leg.

A shocking bruise fell into Chen Yang's eyes, his eyelids trembled, and he rushed to the bathroom without saying a word.

"Leave him alone, just leave me alone." Chao Jian grabbed Chen Yang, her wet fingers wrapped around his wrist like a snake.

Chen Yang thought of the reason for the conflict between Chao Jian and Zheng Zhitan, he took a deep breath, and did some maintenance for his psychological construction.

"Don't use your left leg for now." Chen Yang said in a deep voice.

Chao Jian leaned on his back: "Yes."

Chen Yang turned his head to look at Chao Jian, why did he feel that he had a fight with Zheng Zhitan, and his mood became much calmer?

For some reason, Chao Jian's extremely violent side jumped out of Chen Yang's eyes, his throat was a little dry, Zheng Zhitan wouldn't die, right?

There was a cool touch on Chen Yang's neck, and he came back to his senses: "How are you feeling now?"

"Very good." Chao Jane said with her arms around him.

In the bathroom, Zheng Zhitan was lying on his face by the sink to wash his face, blood kept flowing from his nose and mouth, and it took a long time for it to stop.

Zheng Zhitan took off his tie and put it on his bleeding hand, casually wrapped it a few times and tied it in a knot.

"You're not very young, but you have a lot of evil spirit." Zheng Zhitan sneered, looked up at himself in the mirror, raised his hand to wipe off the blood around his mouth, and spit into the sink with saliva mixed with the smell of iron.

"Where's the glasses?" Zheng Zhitan searched around and found that the glasses were under the leather shoes. He calmly removed his feet, picked up the glasses and rinsed them with water.

The next moment he threw the glasses with broken lenses into the trash can.

"shit."

Zheng Zhitan walked towards the door, his walking posture was the same as usual, no one would know that his kneecap had been violently attacked, the pain from the needle stick, and one leg was a little twisted.

What ordinary people can't bear is nothing to him.

Zheng Zhitan turned up the stairs, he slowed down as he walked, and stood on the stairs.

I didn't notice it before, why did I have a serious fight with that kid this time, and I feel that the other party has a sense of familiarity?

Zheng Zhitan rubbed the base of his bruised nose, it was strange.

The science students in the hall are still struggling with the hexagons.

Chen Yang glanced at the hexagon on the paper, scratched his head in distress, and touched Chao Jian with his arm: "Do you want to have a try?"

Chao Jian said surprisingly: "I study literature."

Chen Yang was stunned: "You are a liberal arts student? When you were in Xiaoyindao, you even calculated the overlapping points of space."

Chao Jian said, "That's a blind cat hitting a mouse."

Chen Yang was suspicious.

"I am indeed a liberal arts student." Chao Jian folded paper and played.

Chen Yang's focus unconsciously fell on his hands. Seeing him flexibly fold different shapes with a piece of paper, he felt that his strength could compete with his own.

"I don't believe that you calculated the spatial overlap point by mistake."

Chao Jian's eyes were covered by eyelashes: "Someone taught me something similar, so draw inferences from one instance."

"Including what you were told in the task." He said, "Those are not things that can be learned in textbooks, and have nothing to do with my study of literature."

Chen Yang easily understood who Chao Jian was referring to, and the brother in the illusion was inextricably related to him.

Very complicated brotherhood.

It is unlikely that Chao Jian would share such a personal part with him.

But Chen Yang guessed Chao Jian's heart through the experience in the illusion.Chao Jian adores that person, resents that person, and hopes that the other person can value and love herself.

Chao Jian's sense of dependence on that person was stronger than normal, like the last medicine in the hand of a dying patient.

A trace of unhappiness and depression flashed through Chen Yang's heart, and it was fleeting. He touched his nose, and the topic reached this point. It was obvious that "the front is a restricted area, please do not approach", and there was no way to continue.

"You don't look like you are studying literature, and you don't look like you like liberal arts." Chen Yang would not be able to digest the information that his partner is a liberal arts student for a while.

Pulling her lips towards Jane: "I don't like liberal arts,"

There is still the second half of the sentence, Chen Yang waits.

Chao Jian didn't add the second half of the sentence, he just glanced at Chen Yang, and then put a paper bird in front of him.

Chen Yang took it subconsciously, and painted the bird's eyes with a black pen. After finishing the last stroke, he was a little dazed.

A hand reached out and snatched the bird away.

Chen Yang's face twitched, what's the matter?He pointed at the little bird with a pen: "Didn't you fold it for me?"

Chao Jian didn't respond, he held the paper bird to play with preciously, and didn't give it to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was speechless.

"Mr. Chen, we can't do it!"

A wail came to Chen Yang's ears, and he made eye contact with the science students: You are the hope of the team, you can't do it.

They collectively returned a look of "We really can't do it, we tried our best".

After many years, I re-experience the fear of being beaten up by mathematics, and it is still the same as the original love-hate relationship.

Chen Yang went to look at the pile of papers on the table, and the messy calculation formulas tried to drill into his brain, but were blocked by his defensive wall to prevent them from clogging his brain.

"Is it possible that the answer will be as simple as a brain teaser, so simple that we all think it is absolutely impossible." Chen Yang put down a stack of manuscript papers, changed another, and sighed, "Liberal arts students also think about it." , the hint of the hexagon may not be an ordinary routine."

"I'm a literary student. When I saw a hexagon, my first reaction was a honeycomb." Wang Hao said thoughtfully.

"Honeycomb? That's right! That's what a honeycomb is like." Li Zheng snapped off half a long biscuit, "The hint is related to bees?"

Wang Hao rolled his eyes: "There are no bees here, honey is almost the same."

"Does that mean that we can't eat honey, and we will die if we eat it?" Someone thought along this line of thought.

Sister Wang in the corner raised her head and said with disheveled hair, "Xiaoqin has never eaten honey."

Brother Yu asked, "Your seat is next to her?"

Sister Wang shook her head: "No."

Brother Yu fell silent, and the others expressed his thoughts: "You are not next to each other, and the office is dimly lit, so you don't know if she eats or not."

Sister Wang wanted to refute but couldn't think of an excuse.

Chen Yang distributed some manuscript papers to the court slips, and the two liberal arts students looked at each other one by one, but no one commented.

The former reserved some energy to pay attention to the content of the conversations of his teammates, while the latter just wanted to finish reading what the former handed over.

"The honeycomb and bees are not sure, but the relationship between hexagons and mathematical formulas is probably misleading." Brother Yu scratched his red and swollen mole, "The rules don't require us to calculate various answers and then infer from the answers. Nothing, but something else."

"What do you mean?" Wang Hao's face changed, "Does it mean that there are six monsters among us?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Qiao Qiao disagreed and said, "I think Mr. Chen is right. The hexagon should be related to today's taboo, not a reminder of the entire task."

The people in front of the sofa stopped talking again. They played the hexagon all over, but they were still at a loss.

Li Zheng asked a mentally retarded question: "How many triangles are the hexagons made of?"

Qiao Qiao said: "Six equilateral triangles."

"Six?" Li Zheng picked up the pen and wrote on a piece of Qiaoqiao's manuscript paper with a decent appearance. "Look, a hexagon has six sides and six corners, all of which are six."

When he said this, he blurted out: "666?"

"..." I was dumbfounded.

一个理科毕业多年的中年人被逼疯了，他自言自语：“6636，6加6等于12，6减6等于0，6……6……”

"Can't say 6?" The middle-aged man murmured, "It seems impossible, but the reality is the correct answer..." His excited eyes were trembling, "This is the taboo!"

Li Zheng couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Uncle, you have been talking."

The middle-aged man's face was dull: "That's right."

"..."

Another stupid one.

In the first round, the water on the sole of the deceased's shoe revealed the taboo, and in the second round, there was a hexagon on the wall next to the deceased.

If the degree of difficulty is about the same as the first round, then the hexagon really can't think too deeply, but shallower.

Qiao Qiao turned the pen, and the pen was still turning five minutes later, and the lines drawn by the pen body were smooth and perfect.

The pen is exquisite, and the fingers are also exquisite, which is pleasing to the eye.

It wasn't until Pan Lin woke up that he didn't see Zheng Zhitan, and cried out like a baby looking for its mother, that Qiao Qiao dropped the pen from his finger.

Chen Yang pointed upstairs.

Pan Lin wanted to go up to find Zheng Zhitan, but he didn't dare to climb up to the fourth floor alone, so he chose to stay in the lobby without much struggle, waiting for Qiao Qiao and Li Zheng.

Chen Yang caught the change of Pan Lin's expression and thought to himself, his adaptability is very good.

So Chen Yang said so.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Pan Lin. Pan Lin's face turned red when he was watched, and his slanted left eye kept moving because of embarrassment. Seeing the disgusted expressions of several people, he immediately covered his left eye embarrassingly, and his face turned red. The blush on his face has also faded away.

"Chen, Mr. Chen, I can't do it. I'm the worst one. Everyone is better than me." Pan Lin said softly.

Chen Yang wanted to say a few more words to Pan Lin, but Brother Yu asked, "Mr. Chen, is the monster still Xiao Huanyu?"

"Affirmative." Someone replied quickly, "Whether there is get off work or work, we stay here for four days, and Xiao Huanyu has to work four days. It hides in the building and eats anyone who breaks the taboo. "

As he spoke, he looked back and forth, left and right, and his eyes moved uneasily.

"I feel changed." Qiao Qiao said.

This statement caused a huge reaction, and several people did not know why.

"What do you mean changed?"

"Can I change it?"

"That's right, what's the change?"

Those few people suddenly thought of something at the same time, and they all fell silent.

Pan Lin saw that everyone's complexion was very bad, and their positions had also changed. He wrung his hands and said without tears, "No...it's not really changing, is it?"

No one got back to him.

"Qiao Qiao, Li Zheng..." Pan Lin pinned her hopes on the two colleagues.

Li Zheng himself was blindfolded, so how could he help Pan Lin solve his confusion.

Qiao Qiao nodded to Pan Lin, and Pan Lin collapsed on the sofa with weak legs.

Chen Yang had the same thought as Qiao Qiao, one of them became the monster who went to work today, but he had no evidence, and he had no object of suspicion, it was just intuition.

In fact, the taboo of the rules is more important than identifying the identity of the monster.

As long as they succeed in finding out the taboo and not breaking it, the monster will have nothing to do, and it can only end get off work if it fails to complete the target.

When Chen Yang thought of this, he looked at Chao Jian.

Chao Jian: "Yes."

Chen Yang smiled helplessly: "I didn't say anything, you know what I think?"

Chao Jian said nothing.

"You are not my partner, you are the roundworm in my stomach." Chen Yang said something indistinctly, and he caught something inadvertently out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes froze, "Qiao Qiao, why are your shoes wet?"

Qiao Qiao was taken aback for a moment, and she lowered her head to see that the light brown heel of the sandal was indeed wet.

"I don't know where I stepped on the water..." Qiao Qiao was interrupted by Li Zheng's roar before he finished speaking, "Take it off quickly, I'll change it with you!"

Qiao Qiao was a little confused by the yelling: "Treading water was a taboo in the last round."

"Just in case." Li Zheng involuntarily forcibly took off her sandals, and took off his sneakers for her, "It's a bit too big, you can wear them with the laces on."

Qiao Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "There's no need..." Seeing that Li Zheng's eyes were about to pop out, she pursed her lips, "Okay."

Li Zheng put Qiao Qiao's sandals in front of him, but he couldn't squeeze in, so he simply pushed the two thin straps to the front and wore them as slippers, with the heels all outside.

Wang Hao said: "Hasn't she already changed her shoes? Why are you still wearing hers? It's fine if you don't wear them."

"I can't do without it. Only by wearing the shoes that she stepped on the water can I replace her." Li Zheng squeezed his feet into the sandals, and the skin of his feet felt a burning pain.

"You are willing to die for your fairy." Wang Hao smacked his lips, "Then you must understand Zhang Lan very well."

Li Zheng paused, neither admitting nor denying it.

After a little distance, Chen Yang whispered to Chao Jian: "Li Zheng has done this, and Qiao Qiao can't even see his thoughts and intentions."

Chao Jian said: "Normal."

"Is it normal?" Chen Yang said, "Li Zheng is so obvious, isn't Qiao Qiao a bit wooden?"

Chao Jian: "Oh."

Chen Yang glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, what are you laughing at?Terrified.

"I feel that Qiao Qiao is used to Li Zheng's care, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. This will cause her to no longer be on guard against him, and let him enter her world without knowing it." Chen Yang analyzed clearly, "Actually, I think Li Zheng is a bit of a jerk. He asked me to give you a through train and give you all kinds of special cases that no one else would have. It makes you so used to it that you can't do without it, Gao Ming."

Chao Jian: "..."

Chao Jane silently turned her head away.
