Penitent hand, trembling slightly

Free time after washing dishes.

Xiaolou and the others had already gone to the middle to move bricks, and only Yan Nan and Shen Maomao had an awkward chat in the cafeteria.

Yan Nan talked to her casually, asking for real information about her inside and outside the words.

Shen Maomao answered some irrelevant questions vaguely, and the speed of washing dishes was accelerated, and he wanted to finish his work early and leave early.

Yan Nan suddenly said, "Did you go to the pool this morning?"

How dare Shen Maomao!She didn't brush her teeth or wash her face after she was woken up this morning, for fear that she would meet that whistler again when she went to the sink.She still rinsed her mouth and washed her face in the kitchen.

"I didn't have time to go." She asked back, "What's wrong?"

Yan Nan: "Fortunately you didn't go."

Shen Maomao: "??" What happened to the pool?

"Do you still remember the aunt who didn't come in?" Yan Nan smiled at her, "She died, the body was in the pool, her limbs were crowded, the faucet came in from the back of her head, and came out of her mouth again, There's blood all over the walls."

Shen Maomao's subordinates paused for a while, and they had already imagined the scene at that time, and couldn't help shivering.

It turned out that the crunching sound they heard yesterday...was breaking the corpse?

She started to get scared, but she didn't want to show timidity in front of Yan Nan, so she pretended not to care and said, "Oh, that's it."

Yan Nan made fun of herself, stopped talking to her, got up and left the basin to sweep the floor outside with a broom.

Shen Maomao watched her back disappear into the kitchen, and continued to wash the dishes thoughtfully.

In addition to being afraid of the bloody scene, she also felt that Yan Nan just now was scary.

She can use other people's death as an excuse to frighten her without empathy, and there is no fear or disgust when describing those bloody scenes, and she will not feel sad because of the death of a player from the same camp... Shen Maomao even learned from her Feel the mood of schadenfreude.

What is she happy about?Is glad someone died?Or are you laughing at the ignorant and fearless newcomers?

Among the old players of this game, everyone except Xiaolou and Yun Shengjin was extremely indifferent, or rather - numb.

From them, Shen Maomao could not see the sympathy that a normal person would have.

Is this kind of character inherent in them, or is it created by the game?Does the game really want players to confess in fear?

Shen Maomao didn't dare to think too much.

Even though the sun was shining brightly outside the window, she felt chilly to the bone.

……

It is impossible to be cold, the sun is so strong outside, and the work clothes are long-sleeved, moving bricks outside can almost kill a person, no matter how cold the heart is, it can't save her from dying of heat.

Today's sun is too poisonous, and the wind is hot.A group of people sweated profusely on the construction site, vividly explaining what labor is the most glorious.

Shen Maomao wished that she was a dog that could dissipate heat with her tongue. She was so hot that she was dying, but she didn't dare to take off her work clothes, for fear that there would be problems if she didn't wear work clothes.

When it comes to their work, it really has a kind of postmodernist magic style.Yesterday the foreman said that she was going to stack bricks and she didn't understand. Today, after she finished washing the dishes, she looked in the middle and saw that she said to stack bricks, she just stacked bricks.

Shen Maomao, who thought he didn't need to move bricks, worked in tears.If she had known that she would have to work hard after graduation, she would definitely not study so hard!Now that the male god has not caught up, he still has to move bricks... Thinking about it, I feel like life is hard.

The foreman asked them to lay bricks on the side of the small pond that was only half dug in the middle of the community.You only need to stack bricks, no need to add cement.As long as the bricks are stacked neatly, the bricks will be glued and cannot be pulled down.

Four wires were pulled at the four corners of the pool as fixed points. The only requirement the foreman asked them was not to stack them crookedly.

So all morning, except for Yun Shengjin, Long Ge and Ding Hou, the rest of the people were carrying out this kind of brick-moving activity without technical requirements.The job of the three of Yun Shengjin was to paint the building. At this time, the three of them were busy on the scaffold not far away, tied to a safety rope, which was precarious.

Shen Maomao is glad that she was assigned to the kitchen, she is really afraid of heights, if she is allowed to go up, let alone work, it will be troublesome to live.

The foreman only watched them all morning, and at about eleven o'clock, he asked Shen Maomao and Yan Nan to leave work early and go to the kitchen to cook.

Shen Maomao seemed to have heard the pardon order, and hurriedly left the shadow he had piled up, and said goodbye to Xiaolou: "Sister Lou, I'll go first! You are busy!"

Xiaolou: "I am your mother, do you want to tell me everything?"

Shen Maomao said solemnly: "You are my reborn parents."

Xiaolou: "??" I don't have a daughter like you!

……

Shen Maomao felt a little dark about Yan Nan.

She has a mysterious ability, or a woman's intuition—that is, her first impression of someone is likely to be the person's true character, and her social experience later confirmed this.When she saw Yan Nan for the first time, she felt that Yan Nan was scary...

It might also have something to do with her crisp slap.

In addition, she can feel that Yan Nan and Yun Shengjin have a good relationship, and Yan Nan seems to be very dissatisfied with her appearance...

Shen Maomao was sitting on a small bench washing vegetables, and on a sudden whim, he took a look at the water in the basin.

A familiar face was reflected on the clear water, that face blinked as she blinked, and there was a bit of natural anger in the beautiful eyes...

Beautiful, but not her face.

Shen Maomao was dumbfounded.

The face on the water belongs to Ren Yue.

……

While eating, Shen Maomao secretly looked at Xiaolou with his eyes.

Why did she use Ren Yue's face after entering the game, can the boss explain it clearly to her?

Is it because that person planned to ask Ren Yue to replace him?So the guy she and Ren Yue met was a gamer?His purpose is to find someone to enter the game for him?

The foreman was away, so Yun Shengjin organized everyone to share what he had discovered.But how could they have time to find clues after working all morning under the watchful eye of the foreman?

Yun Shengjin warned everyone: "I hope you can remember that our main purpose is to find clues and pass the game, not to move bricks. Please don't hide your secrets. If I find clues, I will also pass them on to you."

Having said that, the newcomers are completely blinded, but the old players are all thoughtful, and they don't know what they are thinking.

The work in the afternoon would continue, the foreman didn't know what to do, and didn't look at them. All the players were relieved, but they didn't dare to be too lazy.

The Golden Retriever was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he can't bear hardships. After only a whole morning of moving bricks, several blisters appeared on his brick hands. He sighed with emotion: "Thanks to the game, which gave me a skill. I can go to work if I have no money in the future." The game moves bricks."

Xiaolou hit him mercilessly: "Wake up, do you think moving bricks on the construction site will be like placing blocks like it is now?"

Golden Retriever: "..." It's too real.

Shen Maomao was a little absent-minded, mechanically repeating the action of stacking bricks.

The golden retriever pushed her with a dusty hand: "Sister Rabbit, why are you always distracted?"

"Ah?" Shen Maomao was stunned for a moment, "Oh... oh, I'm thinking about something."

"Thinking about what?"

She hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say what was wrong with her face.

If her guess is true, then the game can be used as a replacement... She couldn't imagine what crazy actions these players would make after knowing this.

"I was thinking..." She found an excuse, "Isn't the aunt outside the door? Why was the corpse brought in? Did something outside already come in?"

"I'll wipe it!" Jin Mao trembled and almost threw the brick out, "Sister Rabbit, don't scare me! I'm very timid!" He also has a psychological shadow on the pool, so he didn't go there today, so naturally he didn't know about the corpse. thing.But compared to the things outside, the corpse is not so scary anymore.

Xiao Lou interjected, "What corpse?"

Shen Maomao glanced at Yan Nan and the five people who were quite far away from them, moved closer to the small building, and said to her: "Yan Nan told me—'she died, and the body was in the pool. It was crowded, the faucet came in from the back of her head and came out of her mouth, and the walls of the pool were covered in blood'."

She learned Yan Nan's words word for word, and she learned them quite well.

"Is she still a woman?" Jin Mao's face was disheveled, with a nauseous expression on his face.

Xiaolou comforted him: "In the future, you will get used to getting along with corpses."

Golden Retriever: "..." was not comforted.

……

The area of ​​the pond is very large, and eleven people worked all day to stack seven or eight layers of bricks for the whole circle.

At 04:30, the foreman came again and asked them to leave work and move freely without looking at how they were doing.

Of course, Shen Maomao and Yan Nan had to cook.

The foreman walked in front of the two of them with his hands behind his back, and there was some joy in his voice: "I brought in some meat from the outside yesterday, and I have moved to the kitchen. You two take care of it and give everyone a boost."

... What kind of meat? !

Shen Maomao's heart was so cold: It can't be human flesh, right?

The three of them walked to the entrance of the cafeteria together, and there was a stench. On the table in the cafeteria, there was a big steak that hadn't been cut yet. There were flies flying on the red and white meat, and blood dripped down the table all over the floor. .

The two women covered their noses for the first time, so as not to be smoked out.

The meat has gone bad, but luckily it's not the human flesh that Shen Maomao imagined.

The foreman said: "There is still a boning knife on the table, you can use it first."

Yan Nan strode forward, holding the boning knife firmly in her hand.After getting the weapon, she became very confident and began to talk to the foreman: "Foreman, why did we build a fence beside the pool?"

The foreman smiled and played Tai Chi with her: "I don't know, it's all arranged by the superiors, it's useless to ask more, the wages are indispensable to you."

Yan Nan didn't change his face: "I think there are a little few people on our construction site? Where are the others?"

Foreman: "Some time ago, something happened on the construction site, and the previous batch of old employees quit..."

Finally found the point!

Yan Nan's eyes lit up, and he asked further: "What happened?"
