In a blink of an eye, our "internship period" has passed for a week.

During this week, Ji Xiao was once curious: if an NPC invites us, can we leave the office building area for a short time.

The good news is that after seven full days, we didn't find a chance at all.

Lunch is basically takeaway.Occasionally, it is different, and it is also resolved in the cafeteria.

The cafeteria at noon is the same as in the morning, only people from our office show up.

No matter what time you go, there are already prepared and hot meals inside.

Manager Hu and Lao Du are used to this, while Ni Xue spends all her time managing her and her boyfriend's life.Only Cen Ming, after a week, he seemed to vaguely feel something was wrong, and would ask Ji Xiao and me in a joking tone: "Did you meet people from other departments in the company?"

I thought about it and said, "No."

Cen Ming raised his brows slowly, and said in a low voice: "When I go to the toilet at work, I have never encountered a queue. Either all the toilets are empty, or there are one or two empty toilets... the one next to me is There was the sound of water being flushed, but no one else was ever seen."

Ji Xiao said: "This is not good. My classmate also told me that the company he went to had more than 1000 people on the first floor, and there were only eight pits in the toilet. Every time I went to the toilet, it was like a war. I heard What he means is that their company plans to install a timer in the toilet."

Cen Ming's attention was diverted, he clicked his tongue, "What else?"

Ji Xiao shrugged, "After hearing what he said, I think our company is doing well."

Cen Ming murmured, "That's true."

He seemed to be appeased by Ji Xiao briefly.It’s just that on the day when everyone in a group went to the cafeteria for lunch, Cen Ming repeated the old saying, saying, “It’s too wasteful to cook so much food for only six of us. Director Hu, do you know that we What do you do with the leftovers?"

He probed cautiously and cautiously.

Ni Xue lowered her head, texting with her boyfriend.Ji Xiao and I looked at each other, then at Director Hu.

Director Hu looked as usual, and said with a smile: "What do you mean 'only the six of us eat'? The other departments are also coming back."

Cen Ming was dumbfounded.

Director Hu said: "Actually, you guys can also buy a lunch box for yourself, and you can go upstairs to eat later. Many people in the company do this, so you don't delay your work."

Cen Ming: "Oh..."

Director Hu's words gave Cen Ming—and most importantly, Ji Xiao and me—a barely acceptable explanation.

Why is there no one in the cafeteria?

We couldn't see everyone else because they went upstairs after finishing their meals.

It's just that I look at Cen Ming and feel that he is still skeptical about such an answer.As for me and Ji Xiao, let alone.

Every night when we go back to our room, Ji Xiao and I will briefly discuss and summarize what happened during the day.

In this era, although it is not as prosperous as the later Internet, it can be regarded as the Internet age, and it is very convenient to check everything.

Ji Xiao first checked the names of our colleagues, but found nothing.Looking at the recent important news, there were no murders.

Ji Xiao felt slightly regretful, but also calm.

He asked me if I remembered anything that happened to my company when I was in high school.I naturally gave him a negative answer and said: "When I went to the company before, I also went to the headquarters. At that time, the headquarters was not here, and I didn't even know there was a department here."

Ji Xiao rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "Then maybe we have to wait for the 'story' to appear by itself."

So far, we still don't know much about a few colleagues.But some things have already begun to emerge.

For example: Cen Ming seems to be short of money.He didn't say this clearly, but occasionally expressed his gratitude that he could find a company with a good salary and a 300-yuan wallet for room and board.In addition, his shoes and mobile phone look old, and there are few clothes, which have traces of washing many times.

The relationship between Ni Xue and her boyfriend quickly cracked after the initial honeymoon period.When going to work one day, Cen Ming saw a little bruise on her neck.It's just that Ni Xue reacted quickly and covered the bruise on her neck with a scarf.

Lao Du was transferred from another department.It is said that the original department was under too much pressure, and Lao Du couldn't bear it, so he withdrew and joined our current fringe pension department.

As for Supervisor Hu, he has a good relationship with his wife and children.The children in the family are in elementary school, so they should be in the lower grades.Previously, the school assigned a homework for blackboard newspapers. Director Hu was frowning and complained: "Is this homework for children? It is obviously for parents!"

After hearing this, Cen Ming volunteered and said, "I used to help my relatives' children make this kind of blackboard newspaper. Otherwise, Director Hu, if you can trust me..."

Director Hu was pleasantly surprised, "How embarrassing this is."

Cen Ming laughed "haha" twice, and said, "Director Hu, you usually take care of us so much, so I will do some small things within my power."

In a few words, it is considered good.

Ji Xiao whispered, "Cen Ming is finally going out?"

No wonder he asked.

In the previous week, Ji Xiao and I never left the office building because we tried it on the first day we arrived here, knowing that we were trapped and unable to leave.Cen Ming is different, no matter what "script" is behind him, at least objectively speaking, he is a free man.

But for a whole week, he actually went out to work with us every day, and left the office building to go back to the dormitory together.

This is obviously unusual.

Yet he was doomed to disappointment.After hearing what Cen Ming said, Director Hu said, "That's fine. Wait until tomorrow, and I'll bring you my son's messy things."

Cen Ming readily agreed, "Okay."

Ji Xiao: "..."

With the excuse of "making a blackboard newspaper for Director Hu during off-duty hours", Cen Ming never stepped out of the yard even on weekends.

Ji Xiao knocked on the door and asked him if he wanted to go downstairs to play with us.After hearing this, Cen Ming hesitated, and said, "My motor nerves are not very developed..."

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, let's see if we can call other people."

Cen Ming listened, blinking his eyes.

I stood behind Ji Xiao and looked at him.

Cen Ming held the door with one hand.Because of Ji Xiao's words, his hand slid a little, as if hesitating.But in the end, he still said: "Okay. Director Hu said before that although there are not many people in the dormitory, there are still some people living on the first and second floors."

Ji Xiao: "Then you continue to draw, see you later."

Cen Ming forced a smile, "See you later."

The door closes before us.

Ji Xiao hugged the basketball I bought online, thoughtful.

I originally thought that when he said "see if I can call someone else", it was mostly polite.But seeing him hesitate now, I thought: Is Ji Xiao really going to knock on the door?

...that is indeed something he can do.

My eyelids twitched.Unexpectedly, the next time Ji Xiao spoke, his voice lowered a little, but he said, "Did Cen Ming owe money outside?"

me?"

Don't blame me for reacting this way.

Ji Xiao carefully analyzed: "Look. He is short of money, and he is unwilling to go out. He has been very active in the office, and obviously needs this job. Also, is he a little too paranoid? This also fits well. The performance of 'owing money'."

As we talked, we walked towards the stairs.

Both Ji Xiao and I know that Cen Ming will hear at least the first half of what he said.

In the past week, Cen Ming's careful probing and hints about "is there a ghost in this office building" will all be interpreted in another way at this moment.

Some admiration welled up in my heart.As it happens, we have reached the bend of the stairs.

I said, "Makes sense—are we really going to knock?"

Ji Xiao looked sideways at me.

When Cen Ming closed the door earlier, Ji Xiao's smile gradually faded, turning into a cold expression.After "analyzing", the tone was always calm.

But at this moment, he looked at me, smiled, and there was warmth in his eyes again, and said, "Yes, at least I'm a colleague. Although it's not a department, I still say hello."

I raise my eyebrows.

Ji Xiao said: "If you don't say hello now, if you think about building a good relationship in the future, it may be too late."

I understand: I don’t go to see the specific situation now, should I wait until the real danger comes later?

Although I can hear what Ji Xiao said, but frankly, I don't understand why he has such actions.

Since he knows that the ghosts in this "game" can't actually hurt us, is there any additional meaning to what he has done so far?

I don't think so.

Having said that, since Ji Xiao wants to do it, I will accompany him.

We went down to the second floor together and found some random doors to knock on.

After knocking on a few doors, Ji Xiao showed some surprise on his face.

I saw it in my eyes, and my mood fluctuated.

Indeed, no one ever opened the door.

But behind those doors, there will be voices.

It's not the indistinct voices in the office building or the office next door, but a real response to Ji Xiao's behavior at the moment.

A male voice asked, "Who is it?"

Ji Xiao said: "I'm upstairs, I bought a basketball, do you want to play together?"

The male voice replied: "No bro, I'm sleeping now."

Ji Xiao: "That's embarrassing."

A female voice also asked, "Who? Why do you keep knocking on the door?"

Ji Xiao was taken aback when he heard this, "I'm sorry..."

We said we were going down to play golf, but in fact, half an afternoon had passed by the time we knocked down all the doors on the second and first floors.

In the end, we only stayed under the basketball hoop for a while before meeting Cen Ming who came out of the dormitory building.

Cen Ming stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Are you playing?" After a pause, with a faint nervousness, "Did you find anyone to go with?"

Ji Xiao smiled and said: "Yes, basically they say that they are too busy with work during the week. It's the weekend, so I want to take a break."

Cen Ming moved his lips and asked, "Have you seen anyone? I mean, have you seen the person standing in front of you?"

Ji Xiao said, "See you."

Cen Ming was startled.

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "Aren't you the one?"

Cen Ming: "..."

Cen Ming's brewing mood was interrupted by Ji Xiao.

After a long while, he said: "Are you... or have you not seen anyone?"

The author has something to say: See you tomorrow afternoon.
