Day of Imprisonment

#342 - Building

This is a building standing tall in darkness and chaos.

The building is the headquarters of the 'Company'.

Those who can enter this building are at least official administrators in charge of various checkpoint scenarios.

However, not every administrator can stay here for long. Most of the time, they cannot enter the headquarters. The 'telephone' assigned by the Company is their primary channel for receiving instructions.

But there are exceptions.

If some special situation or major event occurs, or if the Company has something special to announce and issue, the 'passage entrance' will be opened, allowing administrators to enter the headquarters for a meeting.

But this situation is rare.

It might not happen even once in dozens of cycle days.

In addition, the Company has a strict hierarchy.

Position represents status, power, and strength within the Company.

Administrators of checkpoint scenarios, whether large, ordinary, or micro-scenarios, can only operate on the first and third floors.

The first floor is the reception, waiting, and rest area.

The second floor is the office and conference area.

The third floor is the Company cafeteria.

At this moment, in a small conference room on the second floor, Dou Dou sat on a chair, occasionally looking towards the door and the four surveillance cameras in the room.

She had been waiting here for several hours.

This time, she had clearly violated the Company's regulations.

She certainly couldn't escape the charge of dereliction of duty.

Although before this, Dou Dou didn't care, and even expressed a nonchalant attitude of taking responsibility for her own actions and accepting whatever consequences, she was still very uneasy when truly facing the Company's handling.

She herself wasn't afraid.

But if something happened to her, what would happen to the large group of employees she had recruited in the Game House?

If the Company replaced the administrator of the Game House, would the new administrator retain so many employee positions?

If there were layoffs, the fate of the doll employees would be miserable.

Thinking of these things, Dou Dou felt very anxious.

Mainly, this time she risked violating the Company's regulations to go to Fairytale Town, but still didn't find the person she was looking for.

It was truly a losing proposition.

So, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

"It's all his fault. If he hadn't come to me to talk about Fairytale Town, I wouldn't have gone. If I lose my job, I'll definitely go find trouble with him."

At this time, Dou Dou was shaking her leg and biting her nails, unable to hide her little thoughts.

Just then, the door of the small conference room opened.

"Sit down."

The tone was gentle, but it gave off a very frightening sense of authority.

Dou Dou was obviously very obedient in front of this supervisor.

She sat back down.

Looking at him expectantly.

The supervisor stood opposite her, leaning against the table behind him, flipping through the document in his hand, and then threw the stack of things to Dou Dou.

"Take a look for yourself. According to the Company's rules and regulations, how many articles have you violated? If you are to be punished, what do you think your fate will be?" The supervisor's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

Dou Dou was sometimes careless, but at other times, she could be meticulous.

She understood what it meant to observe people's expressions.

Hearing Supervisor Baicai's tone, she knew that nothing would probably happen today.

"Brother Cai, I, I won't dare to do it again."

"There's a next time?" Baicai held his forehead, probably trying to calm his rising blood pressure: "Dou Dou, let me tell you, if the Company hadn't had some recent issues and the higher-ups were too busy to deal with these small matters, otherwise, you would have lost a layer of skin even if you didn't die this time."

This was clearly not a joke.

It was very serious and earnest.

Dou Dou listened to the scolding, shrinking her neck, not daring to say a word.

"When they questioned you before, you said it very well, downplaying the matter as a malfunction of an unactivated facility within a scenario, leading to a connection to an abandoned checkpoint scenario. You just accidentally entered Fairytale Town and then tried to escape. Remember, say this during the first questioning, and you must say this in the future, otherwise, I won't be able to protect you."

"Brother Cai, don't worry, I know what to say." Dou Dou nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Baicai smiled.

"Alright, fortunately, the higher-ups don't have time to pay attention to these trivial matters now. I've already suppressed it for you. It's not a big problem. Pay attention in the future and don't cause me any more trouble."

"Brother Cai, I won't mess around anymore." Dou Dou quickly guaranteed.

She herself also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had passed the test.

"Then, can I go back? I've been out for so long, I'm afraid the little ones at home are worried," Dou Dou asked tentatively.

"If you were afraid they were worried, you wouldn't have deliberately let other Memory Retrievers enter Fairytale Town." As soon as Baicai said this, Dou Dou suddenly became nervous, with a look of surprise and astonishment.

"Alright, stop acting here for me." Baicai then pointed to the surveillance cameras in the room: "I've already turned these off. Dou Dou, now tell me the truth, what exactly is going on?"

Dou Dou lowered her head.

After thinking for a while, she figured that she couldn't possibly get away with saying nothing, and Supervisor Baicai had always taken good care of her. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have been replaced long ago and wouldn't be in charge of a large checkpoint scenario.

You should know that there are too many managers in the company who are eyeing her position.

"Brother Cai, I actually... went to find... Zhang Zhe." As soon as Doudou finished speaking, Baicai snorted coldly, "I knew it, but I remember telling you that the place called Fairy Tale Town is regarded as a forbidden area even within the company. Zhang Zhe violated the rules before and built a one-way entrance to Fairy Tale Town. This is a serious violation of the regulations. Do you know how the company will punish him if they find him?"

Baicai's voice was stern.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu吧!

Doudou fell silent.

Quiet.

After a moment, Baicai's tone softened a little, "I know that Zhang Zhe is considered your guide. You treat him like your own brother. I understand that you want to find him, but there are some things I must tell you. Sometimes, you can know a person's face but not their heart. People can change."

Doudou was stunned. She naturally understood that Baicai's words had a deeper meaning.

"Alright, tell me the truth. What exactly is going on?"

"Okay, okay, actually, if it were just me alone, I wouldn't think about entering Fairy Tale Town, because I can't even pass that game." When Doudou said this, Baicai smiled helplessly. What she said was indeed correct.

Although Doudou manages the level scenes, her own abilities are really unsatisfactory.

"A Memory Weaver named Luo Xi found me..." As soon as Doudou finished speaking, Baicai's pupils shrank. He reached out to stop Doudou, then got up and walked to the door, listened carefully, then opened the door to look outside, and closed it again.

Locked.

"Continue, keep your voice down." Baicai's attitude seemed different from before.

Doudou's heart skipped a beat.

Even if she was slow, she realized that Brother Cai's attitude had changed drastically because he heard the name 'Luo Xi'.

"Brother Cai, do you... do you know Luo Xi?" Doudou asked curiously.

"That's none of your business, and I suggest you don't ask blindly. This is for your own good, otherwise, you will die miserably." Baicai lowered his voice, "How did you meet Luo Xi?"

Doudou began to explain the process.

The process was actually not complicated. A Memory Weaver caused one of her employees to be fired and become a Memory Loser because of a business score deduction for challenging the 'Haunted House Escape' with a difficulty of ten people.

So, she initially resented the other party.

But later, after experiencing some things, the relationship became a bit complicated, until later, Luo Xi mentioned Fairy Tale Town, and coincidentally, Fairy Tale Town was related to Zhang Zhe, so Doudou chose to take the risk and help the other party enter Fairy Tale Town. At the same time, she also sneaked in herself, planning to use the powerful abilities of the administrator to find clues about Zhang Zhe.

But in the end, she almost got stuck inside.

"So, Luo Xi saved you by passing the Mad Hatter game?" Baicai's expression was strange, wanting to laugh, but knowing he couldn't.

He looked a little uncomfortable from holding it back.

"Yes, that guy is actually quite good, and I know that the matter of Little Fox can't be blamed on him." Doudou sighed, "Then, we came out. I was in a hurry to rush back, so I said goodbye in a hurry, and then I was called here."

"Understood." At this time, Baicai paced back and forth, after walking a few circles, he said to Doudou, "Don't tell anyone about this, and don't mention it. Go back and restrain your employees, and don't talk nonsense about Luo Xi. Remember, this is not a suggestion, it's my warning and request. If you violate it, then I can't save you, and it's also impossible to save those employees in your scene. You have to weigh the pros and cons yourself."

"Understood, I understand!" Doudou nodded quickly.

She wasn't stupid.

Obviously, Supervisor Baicai must know, or even know Luo Xi.

So, who exactly is this Luo Xi?

She was very curious.

Because she also saw that Luo Xi was different from other Memory Weavers.

Being able to play her, an administrator, around in circles was certainly extraordinary.

"There's nothing else for you here, go back." Baicai waved his hand.

Doudou said 'Oh' and got up, but when she walked to the door, she ran back again and lowered her voice, "Brother Cai, can I ask you something else?"

"What else do you want to ask?" Baicai was obviously a little speechless towards this Doudou.

"It's not about Luo Xi, it's about the previous things, that is, what major event happened in the company? Also, why was the awakening time of those Memory Weavers advanced by an hour? Oh, and the big power outage..."

"Shut up!" Baicai frowned, "You can't ask about this either. Why did I recruit such a little fool like you? Think about it, would other managers dare to ask about this? Don't even dare to mention it, let alone ask."

"Brother Cai, you misunderstood me. I don't dare either. Isn't it just you and me here? You are my brother, if I don't ask you, who do I ask?" Doudou looked aggrieved.

Baicai sighed, thought for a while and said, "Actually, many people know, it's just that no one dares to say it publicly. Telling you is nothing. The reason is because someone rebelled."

"Rebelled?" Doudou's eyes lit up, then she whispered, "I actually heard that someone rebelled, but what exactly happened?"
