I really don't want to work in the world of weird rules!

The host's tone was full of confidence.

Gu Changyuan's nerves instantly tightened to the extreme.

coming.

The bloody club has been used.

Now, it's time for that deadly sweet date.

...That is, the "benefits" he had seen in the encyclopedia.

Now, let me proudly introduce our company's core benefits!

This is the real reason why the on-site investigation team members remained loyal to the company even after experiencing such a horrific ordeal upon joining.

【Employee Benefits】

[The ultimate wish-granting device!]

An image slowly appeared on the giant screen in the lecture hall.

It was a beautifully curved, streamlined crystal bottle.

Tick.

Inside the bottle, a strange, multicolored liquid rippled gently.

The light shimmered and flowed.

The liquid's color, texture, and even the ripples it spread out exuded a strange and eerie beauty that was both chilling and impossible to look away from.

The entire audience held their breath.

Want to take a closer look?

The host pressed the remote control, and the projection screen slowly rose.

The display stand, hidden behind the curtain, was finally revealed.

On the black velvet tabletop, the colorful crystal bottle displayed on the screen was prominently displayed.

Gu Changyuan stopped breathing.

The liquid in the bottle seemed to have a life of its own, swaying and reflecting a dazzling light, making the entire lecture hall look like a dream.

This extraordinary, illogical radiance makes one almost doubt whether it truly belongs to this real world.

Before joining the company, you've probably all heard that we're a pharmaceutical company with outstanding performance, right? Our technology is so advanced that we can even develop hair growth tonic!

[But actually, our real main potion is something else... it's this bottle.]

The host steadied his slightly trembling hands and put on a pair of clean white gloves.

Then, he carefully picked up the crystal bottle and held it high in front of everyone.

This medicine is called "The All-Powerful Wish-Granting Elixir".

As for its effects... well, it's self-explanatory. Drink it, and any wish will come true.

Rapid breathing could be heard from the crowd, and Gu Changyuan also felt his throat go dry.

[Unbelievable? But the truth is, countless people have had their wishes fulfilled through this drug.]

[Talk is cheap; I'll demonstrate for you myself.]

The host skillfully tore open the packaging seal, tilted his head back, and drank the liquid in one gulp!

[Because today happens to be the day I received my "all-powerful wish-granting spirit." Haha!]

Everyone immediately guessed the host's wish.

Because the moment he swallowed the medicine.

That face, which was originally marked by the passage of time and looked at least forty-five years old, is now becoming firm and full at a visible speed, even showing a healthy blush.

His slightly hunched body instantly straightened and became strong, and his sparse hair became thick and black again.

Yes, time has turned back.

This body has returned to its vibrant and energetic teenage years!

Wow!

The host, now dressed as a high school student, excitedly waved his fist.

How does it feel? Well, to put it simply, it's like being young again!

Even his voice has returned to its clear, youthful tone.

The lecture hall fell silent again, but this time, it was not out of fear, but out of extreme shock.

That was the silence before greed was ignited.

The young-looking host pointed at the crowd below the stage.

[Your field investigation team has consistently outperformed all others in performance reviews. The average length of service for those who receive the "all-powerful wish-granting spirit" award is half that of other departments...]

[The first ten people to receive the all-purpose wishing talisman were all employees of the on-site investigation team!]

Someone swallowed hard, the sound particularly loud in the quiet environment.

Gu Changyuan watched coldly; this was purely a lie told in a "not telling the whole truth" style.

To put it bluntly, this is a high-risk allowance earned by risking one's life.

Before these ten fastest people appeared, there were probably already hundreds or thousands of people whose remains had been lost.

This is clearly a bait laced with deadly poison, a beautifully packaged trap.

However......

Someone did indeed get it.

That bottle of medicine wasn't fake.

[Alright, now it's time for questions... Oh? This colleague, please go ahead!]

In the crowd, a tall, brown-haired man silently raised his hand and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Can even the dead be brought back to life?"

Ah, at times like this, everyone usually hears that clichéd premise, right? Something like "This is the only wish that can't be fulfilled"...

You probably all thought I'd say that, right?

The host raised his right hand high.

I assure you all that the all-powerful wish-granting spirit will grant 100% of the user's wishes.

The crowd stirred again.

[Of course, this is on the premise that you know how to use it correctly. Please refer to the employee in-app purchase store for detailed instructions.]

The man who asked the question fell silent. But this bombshell had already stirred up a storm in the crowd, and a restless atmosphere had spread far and wide.

The host clearly didn't want to miss this excellent opportunity.

As for other benefits, you can check the screen or the paper instructions in the gift bag... Now, it's time to make a decision.

boom.

The tightly closed back door of the lecture hall suddenly sprang open.

Those who wish to withdraw from the job application can now exit through this door and collect a resignation form from the front desk.

However, if you feel that since you've gone through so much hardship to get in, and want to stay and make a difference...

The host gestured for the other person to proceed.

【Then put on the mask from the gift bag.】

mask?

Gu Changyuan suddenly realized.

So this is when it was released.

In today's parlance, this is called bespoke customization. It perfectly showcases each person's unique personality.

Although it's still a basic model with no special features, this is about all it's good for.

Gu Changyuan gripped the phone in his pocket tightly.

Although it's inconvenient to take it out and look at it now because there are too many people around, he's certain that the corresponding entry is definitely in the "Mysterious Tales Exploration Record" that was reconstructed by the "memory scaffold".

Department

Strange and unusual stories

>Employees of the on-site investigation team must wear masks when working in the field. These masks will be distributed after the onboarding ceremony.

According to employee D, the theme of the masks was determined by the year the employee joined the company.

For example, the agent wearing an ant mask and the agent wearing a mantis mask are very likely to be colleagues who joined the company in the same year.

In short, this mask is the exclusive symbol of the on-site investigation team.

I never thought I'd actually get my hands on one of these things.

Gu Changyuan felt a mix of emotions.

To be honest, ninety percent of his impulse right now is to smash that lousy mask on the ground, then storm out the door yelling, "I quit!"

All he wanted was to live.

But reason held him back; even if he resigned, this damn world was just a huge makeshift operation anyway.

Those deadly and bizarre phenomena have long since infiltrated every corner of society.

Even if you're just a random passerby on the street, you could end up being cannon fodder in some ghost story, not even knowing how you died.

Gu Changyuan pinched the space between his eyebrows hard.

Therefore, instead of wandering around outside unarmed and waiting to die, it's better to stay put with the company's equipment and salary, working while trying to transfer to another department with a higher safety factor... This is the path to the highest survival rate.

Moreover, the "omnipotent wish-granting spirit" seems to be the only hope for returning to their original normal world.

With his meager courage, he wouldn't survive long in this world fraught with danger. His only way to survive is to escape this world completely.

Therefore, if we set aside all emotions and use absolute calm and rationality to deduce the options that maximize benefits...

He must take the job.

It's insane, but this is the only dead end in this desperate situation.

Gu Changyuan gritted his teeth and reluctantly tore open the paper bag.

He reached in, intending to take the mask out, but his movements suddenly froze.

Something slid out along with the mask.
