Excessive ferocity due to caution

Upon hearing the scream, the people in the office instinctively stood up, wanting to rush over.

Zhao Yi, however, remained calmly seated on his stool.

"Twenty-five minutes..."

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow.

The man died after squatting in the toilet for more than five minutes beyond the permitted time limit.

It seems that violating Rule 8... will result in death.

But there's no timer to keep track of their mealtimes and bathroom breaks, so I have to be as careful as possible, otherwise...

Zhao Yi calculated how many times he had gone out.

Five times a day.

One session should be reserved for resting in the dormitory at night.

I already used it when I went to the supermarket today.

Therefore, Zhao Yi will be able to go out three more times.

With that thought in mind, he finally got up and walked down the scorching corridor toward the restroom...

The corridor is unobstructed on both sides.

Wind convection.

A strong, pungent smell of blood wafted over, accompanied by ammonia fumes…

It has a pungent, nauseating smell.

Zhao Yi arrived at the entrance of the public toilet, where a large crowd had gathered, their faces grim as they stared inside.

There was a horrific corpse inside.

The reason it's considered terrifying is because the corpse was completely unrecognizable as human from head to toe...

His head was intact, but blood was flowing from his seven orifices.

The eyeballs are gone.

As for the body... that's the real source of everyone's fear.

Xiao Qi's body was turned into a bizarre art sculpture.

His bones were shattered by a mysterious force, and his 24 ribs were shaped into flower-like forms, arranged upwards in an inverted cone shape...

Xiao Qi's limbs were decorated in layers on these rib spurs, like flower buds about to bloom.

Zhao Yi glanced at it and was certain that Xiao Qi had been killed by some kind of supernatural force.

At this moment, the opponent's arms and legs combined are at least fifty meters long!

Ordinary human murderers wouldn't be able to turn Xiao Qi's body into this state!

"Has the company's ghosts started killing people...?"

Zhao's eyes darted around.

If employees of these companies break the rules, they will be killed by ghosts!

So before they participated in the movie, they were shown the 10 rules of 2188 Company that they absolutely could not violate!

Now, they have been completely stripped of their power and possessions, and have no chance to directly resist the attacks of the ghosts!

Once you're targeted, it's basically a death sentence!

The crowd stared at the horrific corpse inside, whispering amongst themselves.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of all the employees, Zhao Yi actually pushed through the crowd and walked straight in!

"Zhao Yi, watch out for the toilet!"

Liao Hongqiao couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

Her eyes showed a strange look.

Although she also guessed that the ghost killed Xiao Qi because Xiao Qi violated the company's eighth rule... who can guarantee 100% that the ghost killed Xiao Qi because he broke the rules?

Under the watchful eyes of the staff, Zhao Yi followed the bloodstains into cubicle number 3.

The door was closed.

A loud rushing sound of water rang out.

Half a minute later, Zhao Yi put on his pants and walked out as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Yi went to pee, of course, not to show off.

But I really wanted to pee.

Since we're already here...

Urine as much as you can.

Actually, he initially planned to buy a chamber pot at the supermarket.

The price of the urinal is as high as 998.

Seeing that nothing was wrong in the restroom, the others hurriedly dialed the company's help number to tell them that a murder had occurred on the third floor.

To everyone's surprise, they weren't even slightly astonished when security personnel came to clean up the scene!

More precisely, the expressions on these people's faces did not change.

Cold, indifferent...numb.

Although they are living, breathing people, they always give the impression of being plastic mannequins standing in a shopping mall.

"Hey? There might be danger inside!"

Zhao Yi suddenly grabbed the hand of a security guard who was passing by.

He turned his head stiffly, staring at Zhao Yi with empty eyes.

Zhao Yisong released his hand and said with an awkward smile:

"I'm sorry... I was just worried about your safety."

The security personnel ignored Zhao Yi and began mechanically tidying up the body in the public restroom.

Zhao Yi looked at his hands.

There was a faint black aura above it.

The moment he touched the security guard, it felt like touching a block of ice.

A person's body temperature couldn't possibly be this high...

The security personnel at these companies... are probably all ghosts!

The black aura lingered on Zhao Yi's hands for a long time.

Zhao Yi frowned, but quickly relaxed again.

When he takes action, it means he is willing to take the risks that follow.

After the public restrooms were cleaned, no one wasted any more time and chose to return to their offices to continue their workday.

There were no police officers, and no outside forces intervened.

The employees who died inside the 2188 Building were simply disposed of.

After everyone had returned to the office, Zhao Yi called Meng Cunhua, a senior executive of the company, once again.

"Manager Meng... Yes, I'm Xiao Zhao."

"Yes, I didn't go to lunch. I'll just grab something quick... Working for the company is important. I can eat anytime, but I must do my best to complete the work!"

"Ha! Thank you for the encouragement, Manager... I called you to ask if the company has a medical room?"

"It's nothing, it's just that an employee committed suicide in the restroom just now. When the security personnel came to help clean up, I accidentally touched it, and my hand feels a little uncomfortable. I'm worried it might affect my work efficiency, so I wanted to ask you about it..."

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Zhao Yi didn't hang up the phone; he just waited patiently.

About a minute later, Meng Cunhua's voice came through the phone again, but it carried a sinister and meaningful tone...

"Xiao Zhao... don't worry, it was just a touch, your hand will be fine, don't put pressure on yourself."

"If you really feel uncomfortable, go to the supermarket and buy a few red candles, then heat them up with fire."

He paused, then added:

"Buy a few more... grill them if you feel unwell."

Zhao Yi agreed.

After expressing his gratitude, he hung up the phone.

Bow down.

The skin on the left hand of the security guard who had come to collect the body... had begun to turn black.

P.S.: Okay! Today went by quickly too!

This story has many anchor points, so it's a bit long.

It's about 1/3 longer than a regular dungeon.

Good luck tomorrow!!

Goodnight, my darlings!!
