Under the gaze of everyone, the door was pushed open——

"Sorry, I'm late," Qi Qiu, still wearing the school uniform when he was killed, walked in gracefully, "I hope I didn't disturb everyone's chat."

He pushed up his glasses, wearing the same kind smile as the doorman.

At the same time, the system sounded a prompt sound [Time is up, seven new employees have arrived on time, and the onboarding process is about to start]

In an instant, the conference room fell into dead silence.

All eyes were focused on Qi Qiu, with surprise, doubt, suspicion...and of course dissatisfaction.

No one thought that the seventh person they talked about would appear in this way.

Until someone cursed "fuck", the embarrassing silence was finally broken.

"So it's him..." The lady wearing the saber laughed softly and looked at Qi Qiu thoughtfully.

Qi Jiu remembered the name she left on the registration book, Gu Zhenzhen.

The companion standing next to her was named Ji Xiaoye.

Qin Rang opened his eyes in disbelief: "Door...doorman...?"

Qi Jiu turned his head and smiled apologetically at him: "We meet again."

"No, door, why would the guard...?" Qin Rang, who had not yet figured out what to do, fell into confusion.

Gu Zhenzhen, who just placed a bet, shrugged: "I lost."

With that said, she transferred the lost survival coin to Ji Xiaoye.

"Then I'm welcome," Ji Xiaoye, who accepted the gambling money, smiled at Qi Qiu, "Thank you for coming on time."

Qin Rang finally understood the current situation: "So the guard guy is..."

Qi Jiu smiled: "Let's get to know the seventh traveler, Qi Jiu."

Qin Rang: "..."

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open again, and a middle-aged man who looked like a supervisor walked in.

All the noise suddenly became quiet. It was time for new recruits to join the company. The focus of everyone's attention turned from the seventh traveler to the NPC——

"Hello everyone, in the coming days, I will be responsible for the onboarding and guidance of your new employees."

The new manager cracked his lips and smiled: "It seems that the seven new employees have arrived, which is good. I like young people who are punctual."

"Welcome to Bates Canning Factory and become a member of this big family." His eyes swept over everyone one by one, and the strange curve of the corners of his lips made people shudder.

But when the new manager's eyes turned to Qi Qiu, the mechanical feeling on his face was suddenly broken.

The smile that was originally full of weirdness changed, the stiff facial muscles began to twitch slightly, and even the pupils shrank instantly.

It's as if the character program that was originally set encountered some bug and suddenly got stuck.

This situation lasted for three seconds until the new manager looked away from Qi Qiu and he returned to his original appearance.

Qi Gu, who saw all this, was confused. The new manager looked like he was afraid of something.

But the other party is the NPC responsible for managing them. For a newcomer like himself, as a supervisor, what should he be afraid of?

Is there something special about myself?

Qi Jiu doesn't know the reason for the time being, but it does not prevent him from taking advantage of this NPC's attitude.

His behavior of pretending to be a guard at the beginning may dissatisfy some colleagues. In order to ensure his own safety, he must create the illusion that he is an experienced player or has a backend.

The new manager's strange reaction was exactly what he wanted.

After all, he wasn't the only one to notice the new manager's fears.

Except for the careless Qin Rang, everyone else's eyes lingered between the new supervisor and Qi Qiu.

They are also guessing why the new manager NPC has such an expression?

As a result, everyone looked at Qi Qiu in an even weirder way.

"First of all, I will distribute the induction manual to everyone. Please read it carefully." After the new manager counted the number of people, he began to distribute the induction manual.

The induction handbook was sealed in a red envelope in a ceremonial manner. Qi Jiu noticed that the envelope was printed with unique patterns, which was very feminine in design.

Everyone opened the envelope and unfolded the letter paper printed with black letters:

"Welcome to join Bates Canning Processing Factory. In order to help you better integrate into factory life, new employees are requested to strictly abide by the following matters -

1. In order to ensure the health of factory employees, we provide free physical examination services to all employees. The physical examination will be conducted at the end of each day's work. All employees must cooperate with medical staff to complete daily health examinations;

2. The factory implements a 6-hour work system in winter, and the working hours are: 9 a.m. to 12 noon; 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. After 4 p.m., all employees are asked to leave the work workshop in an orderly manner and enter the medical room for physical examination.

Be sure to return to the staff dormitory before 5:30;

3. The canteen will be open from 12:00 to 1:00 and 4 to 5:00 in the afternoon. Please do not miss the dining time unless there are special circumstances;

4. No one is allowed to go to the Nursery Department and North District Clinic without permission;

5. There is no ▇ in the factory! If you see ▇, please ignore it and report it to the safety department!

Each department and area of ​​the factory will have corresponding precautions, and the corresponding person in charge will inform them in the subsequent work and life.

Once again, we welcome you to join the Bates family and look forward to leaving you with pleasant memories here."

Qi Jiu frowned as he stared at the code with black writing on the red paper.

There are not many notes on the text, and the working hours and employee benefits seem very humane...even too humane.

But whether it is the daily free physical examination service or the need to return to the dormitory before 5:30, there are weirdnesses flowing between the lines in the rules that make people think deeply.

Why are physical examinations so frequent? What happens in the factory after 5:30?

The more precise the text is, the easier it is for people to think about it.

Gu Zhenzhen looked at the rule book of his companion and breathed a sigh of relief: "The same."

They have encountered situations where everyone is assigned different rules, but this is obviously not the case.

"Any ideas?" Ji Xiaoye was referring to the fifth piece of black box information that needed to be completed.

Gu Zhenzhen shook his head: "Judging from the arrangement of rules, there seems to be no information that can be inferred."

It seems that we can only find clues from subsequent exploration.

"Please keep the code properly, as it will be indispensable in your future work and life," the new supervisor said. "Next, I will arrange for everyone to enter their fingerprints."

The seven travelers were numbered in the order they arrived at the office.

No. 1 Qin Rang, No. 2 Gu Zhenzhen, No. 3 Ji Xiaoye, No. 4 Xu Shengyi, No. 5 Liu Zhibin, No. 6 Wu Gui, and No. 7 Qi Qiu.

New employees only need to press their fingers on the fingerprint collection area, and the machine will collect the fingerprints and store them in the database.

The supervisor was obviously very used to this process, and it only took him two minutes to complete the entry of the first six employees.

Next it was Qi Ku's turn.

Qi Qiu cooperatively pressed his right index finger on the machine, but after waiting for a few seconds, the machine turned on the red light abnormally, and then issued an error warning of "Didi Di Di"——

"The employee's fingerprint already exists in the fingerprint database, please reconfirm the employee's fingerprint!"

Qi Gu:?

He switched to his left hand and pressed his index finger on the collection area again.

"Didi Didi - The employee's fingerprint already exists in the fingerprint database, please reconfirm the employee's fingerprint!"

The system warned three times in a row.

For a moment, everyone looked at Qi Qiu in silence and horror.

Including the new supervisor holding an input machine in his hand.

The person involved, Qi Jiu, scratched his head. After thinking for a moment, he looked at the new supervisor: "Is the input machine malfunctioning again?"

The word "again" was enough to make everyone on the side wonder about it for a long time.

"This kind of problem rarely occurs," the new manager didn't care about Qi Jin's wording. He restored the stiff expression that an NPC should have and said dutifully, "Everyone, wait a moment, I will debug the equipment."

"Sorry to trouble you." Qi Jiu said politely.

All eyes were focused on him, questioning, fearful, and defensive... Qi Jiu pushed up his glasses as if nothing had happened, and looked at everyone with a smile: "I'm sorry, because I delayed everyone's time."

The lenses reflected light slightly, making it difficult for everyone to see his expression clearly.

The more polite and humble he behaves, the more calm and relaxed his attitude is, the more fearful the looks on everyone's faces.

Of course Qi Gu knew this. Although he was also confused about the alarm, he understood better that in the team of "criminal" death travelers, there was no weapon more useful than "terror".

After all, some of these "teammates" are inherently bad.

The new supervisor opened the drawer on his desk, inserted his own permission card and started debugging the fingerprint entry machine.

From where Qi Jiu stood, he could just see the supervisor's movements, and his position blocked other people's sight.

The moment the supervisor inserted the card, the name of the owner of the permission card flashed on the entry screen: Connor Lord.

Qi Jiu lowered his eyelids and silently remembered the name of this NPC.
To be continued...
