Excessive ferocity due to caution

Everyone present knew that if someone fell asleep in the office, something bad was bound to happen.

So they dared not sleep.

They chatted about everyday things, or talked about random things.

At first, this interaction helped alleviate their fatigue, but the more they continued, the more unbearable it became...

My phone has Wi-Fi, but I can't use it for gaming.

They chatted for less than three hours before running out of things to talk about. They were now unable to leave the house, unable even to go to a 24-hour supermarket to buy snacks and coffee.

Time passed by, bit by bit.

Before I knew it, it was already three in the morning.

Despite everyone's best efforts to resist drowsiness, it was beyond their control. Someone yawned first, and as if it were contagious, soon everyone was yawning incessantly...

My eyelids started to droop.

"Don't sleep!"

Seeing Ye Zhi unable to resist slumping onto the desk, someone couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder. Even though he was also extremely sleepy, his inner fear still drove him to use various means to stay awake.

Ye Zhi looked at the man who had reminded her with a dazed expression, her eyes already showing a lot of emptiness and fatigue. It took her a long time to slowly come back to her senses.

She gave the man a weak smile:

"Um... thank you, Tang Tang."

Looking at Ye Zhi's smile, Tang Tang was inexplicably moved. He instinctively grabbed Ye Zhi's hand and said nervously:

"Ye Zhi, don't fall asleep!"

"If you can just get through this hour or two, the drowsiness will disappear!"

"Believe me!"

Ye Zhi nodded slightly mechanically, her eyes becoming unfocused again.

Tang Tang looked at the other actors.

Their condition was also not good.

In an attempt to regain his senses, the chubby actor Liang Su, an E-level performer, began slapping himself repeatedly. His round, chubby face was red and somewhat swollen from the slaps.

Suddenly, a soft, fragrant object fell into her arms.

Tang Tang suddenly turned around.

Ye Zhi... had already collapsed into his arms.

She fell asleep.

Her expression was so dreamy, and she even had a smile on her lips.

For some reason, Tang Tang always felt that Ye Zhi's smile was particularly... sinister.

What was happening before Tang Tang felt a strange sense of familiarity.

It feels like it just happened a short time ago...

The pale office lights began to flicker inexplicably.

zizi——

The light bulb made a hissing sound, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

Tang Tang looked up and stared at the light tube for a long time, then suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!

He suddenly remembered...

Why did I feel a strange sense of familiarity when I was trying to persuade Ye Zhi not to go to sleep...?

Because Ye Zhi had said the same thing to him not long ago!

Tang Tang looked at Ye Zhi lying on the ground. Black fur began to emerge from its eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, and slithered towards Tang Tang like a snake...

"No...no!!"

Tang Tang screamed and sat down hard on the ground, backing away.

He remembered... he remembered!

Ye Zhi wasn't asleep at all...

It's him who's asleep!

Not long ago, in order to prevent himself from falling asleep, he slapped himself like Fatty Liang Su did, but it was no use at all!

Just as he was about to fall asleep, Ye Zhi shook him to wake him up!

however……

"You remember now?"

A venomous, cold, and sinister voice came from behind Tang Tang.

Tang Tang turned her head stiffly, her eyes filled with immense terror...

……

Early the next morning.

Zhao Yi lit a candle, went to the supermarket to buy the food and drinks he needed for the day, and then brought a cup of soy milk to the office.

He wasn't the first to arrive.

When I arrived, there were already quite a few people gathered in the office.

Zhao Yi blinked.

He wasn't surprised.

Yesterday he counted how many times each person entered and left the office, so he knew that someone was going to die in the office.

Even if they don't die at night, they will die during the day.

In such an extremely boring and tedious job, once a person feels sleepy, they will sink into a precipitous state...

He walked into the office right on time.

There were five corpses inside, as well as a fat man with bloodshot eyes and a strange smile on his face.

His eyes were lifeless. He held a pair of scissors and repeatedly mutilated himself while doing so.

"I wasn't asleep... I survived... Hehe..."

"I wasn't asleep... I survived... Hehe..."

"..."

On the ground in front of him were scattered fingers and a pool of blood.

Seeing the amount of bleeding, Zhao Yi slurped up a mouthful of soy milk.

He knew the fat man wouldn't survive.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, the fat boy stopped repeating the words.

He died in his office with a sinister smile on his face.

Seeing the six corpses in the office, everyone couldn't help but move away. Some employees reported the incident to the company, but it seems that this time they did not receive a response from the company.

In other words...

They were not prepared to deal with the bodies in the office.

The attitude of the company's senior management at 2188 Building puzzled everyone, and some of the more intelligent actors, such as Liao Hongqiao, began to think about it.

Yesterday, upon hearing about the death in the toilet, they quickly sent people to clean up the scene.

Why is it that when someone dies in the office, the company doesn't send anyone to clean it up?

Zhao Yi carefully examined the corpse on the ground and raised an eyebrow.

"The methods of death were vastly different..."

"These people who died in the office were probably killed by ghosts..."

"And yesterday, Xiao Qi was in the restroom, and was probably taken care of by another special entity lurking in Building 2188..."

"Where is that guy hiding?"

"The 13th floor...?"

PS: First update. I suddenly felt nauseous today. Could it be that I inhaled egg molecules in the air and am pregnant?
