The cafeteria fell into an uneasy silence.

The security officer quickly observed Qi Qiu from top to bottom and reported to the intercom: "We haven't found any obvious erythema on the body of employee No. 7, but the skin has become obviously red."

Then, the security officer pointed the temperature measuring instrument at Qi Ji's forehead and wrist and said, "It has been confirmed that the temperature of new employee No. 7 is elevated."

Finally, he opened Qi Ji's hand for inspection: "It has been confirmed that new employee No. 7 has sharp puncture marks on his hand. The infection has been initially confirmed. Please prepare the North District Medical Office."

At this moment, Qi Jiu had already stuffed his work badge with a safety pin into his pocket. Under everyone's suspicious gazes, he cooperated with the security officer as he left the cafeteria and headed to the North District Medical Office.

"What's going on? Why is Boss No. 7 also infected...?" Qin Rang held the dinner plate and stared in disbelief at the direction where Qi Qiu was taken away. He blinked for a long time.

After the security officer left, the canteen returned to its original bustle.

The npc acted as if nothing had happened and continued to eat and chat amidst the noise. Qin Rang, who was still frightened, repeatedly checked his hands to make sure there were no puncture marks before relaxing his nerves a little.

"If he was infected, how did he avoid the health check?" Gu Zhenzhen cut the strangely colored meatloaf with a spoon in disgust, and asked puzzledly, "If he was injured in the workshop, he should have been discovered during the physical examination, right?

"

"It may be that hidden props were used, or it may not be an injury sustained in the workshop." Ji Xiaoye analyzed.

Qin Rang: "What do you mean? So is there a risk of being scratched by fishbones outside the workshop?"

Ji Xiaoye used chopsticks to pick up the sticky salad, showing no intention of eating it: "I don't know, but you have to be more careful."

Suddenly, she frowned and said, "It's possible that he didn't..."

She realized that when Qi was investigating the "illness" just now, there were no obvious signs of erythema on his body, but his body temperature increased, his skin turned red, and sharp wounds were found on his hands, which was enough for the safety officer to judge him as a "preliminarily infected employee."

But is this really the case? Judging from Xu Shengyi’s infection reaction, although the erythema will eventually connect into one piece and turn into a flushing state of the skin all over the body, there is still something missing that feels wrong...

"I thought he was such a powerful boss," the wife-murderer, who had been silent, sneered, interrupting Ji Xiaoye's thinking, "That's all."

Ji Xiaoye: "..."

Wu Gui glanced at him and asked coldly: "Do you have any ideas?"

"I guess the infected people might be made into fish feed, or..." the wife murderer raised the corners of his lips obscenely, "the meat pies on your plate."

He once again brought up the stomach-churning subject.

Not only that, he also looked at Ji Xiaoye and Gu Zhenzhen's dinner plates with greasy eyes: "Eat quickly, human flesh becomes very fishy when it is cold."

As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips obscenely, "Of course, women's meat will taste much better."

"What a pervert." Gu Zhenzhen glared at him with dissatisfaction, but this seemed to satisfy the perverted habit of the wife-murderer. He chuckled and became even more excited.

"It seems that you know very well," Ji Xiaoye did not shy away from the disgusting look of the wife-murderer, but instead bent his eyes and smiled, "I believe you also like this dish very much."

Suddenly, the wife-murderer's eyes became distracted for a moment, and Ji Xiaoye put his index finger to his lips: "Shh."

The wife-murderer really stopped moving, staring at Ji Xiaoye's fingers in a daze, and then obediently picked up the chopsticks according to the other party's instructions.

The Wu Gui beside him saw it but was too lazy to intervene.

The whole process takes less than three minutes.

Ji Xiaoye finally clapped his hands with satisfaction: "Okay."

Only then did the wife-killer come to his senses. He found that his cheeks were swollen and painful, and a strong fishy smell filled his mouth.

Ji Xiaoye and Gu Zhenzhen's plates were already empty.

Fuck, controlled.

When he lost his consciousness, the woman actually manipulated him into eating the food on their plates!

The wife-murderer was furious. Just as he was about to curse the two ladies, part of the food crumbs spurted out from his mouth. The nearby NPCs all turned around, and their originally inorganic eyes were immediately filled with anger.

[Please do not waste food, otherwise NPCs will attack you with hatred] System prompts.

The wife-murderer could only risk choking to death by swallowing the pie made of unknown meat in his mouth with difficulty, and licking the crumbs off the table bit by bit under the gaze of the NPC.

"Don't be anxious, enjoy slowly," Ji Xiaoye picked up his empty plate and stood up, smiling, "We are full."

After saying that, she and Gu Zhenzhen walked towards the rest area without looking back.

The wife-murderer coughed and drank water. He was about to say something, but Wu Gui stopped him: "Trouble comes from the mouth, so I told you not to cause trouble."

Wife-murderer: "..." He had no choice but to swallow the curse words, along with the remaining meat foam in his mouth.

Wu Gui glanced at him with disgust: "Are you full?"

The wife-murderer nodded.

"Oh, I think you haven't eaten enough." He pushed his plate in front of the wife-murderer, "Help me solve it together."

The wife-murderer was stunned for a moment, and Wu Gui immediately narrowed his eyes meaningfully: "Don't want to?"

"Is this, is this appropriate? Does it violate the rules?" The reluctant wife-murderer tried to struggle.

Wu Gui looked at him thoughtfully: "I remember that the rules only said that leftovers were not allowed, but they didn't stipulate who had to eat them, right?"

Wife-murderer: "Yes, yes..."

Wu Gui smiled: "Besides, wouldn't it be good for you to finish the food of those two ladies? It's no problem."

As he spoke, he patted the wife-murderer on the shoulder and said, "Enjoy it slowly."

On the way to the infirmary, Qi Qiu opened the system interface to check. The "Red Face" in the item bar showed that it was being consumed——

[Remaining duration of this effect: 2 minutes]

enough.

Qi Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude for the props given by the system: "'Red Face' is very useful, thank you."

[In the system database, the probability of using the "Red Face" skill properly after acquiring it is only 1%]

Qi Jiu smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."

After all, this is the only prop he has now and cannot be wasted.

When he arrived at the North District Medical Office, he was greeted by a nurse.

Qi Jiu noticed the nurse's badge and wrote down her name: Vera Heimer.

She was eating in the North District cafeteria two minutes ago and had just been recalled to the infirmary due to a temporary emergency.

After the security officer left, the nurse took out the instrument and checked Qi's temperature and blood again.

"It's strange, the body temperature is obviously high, but why the blood test is normal..." the nurse said to herself. She compared it three times, but the result was not as expected.

The effect of the skill had almost faded, so Qi Ji, who was lying on the testing bed, continued: "It's so hot."

The nurse dialed the phone with confusion on her face. After communicating with the other party, she informed Qi Gu: "There may be something wrong with the test results. The doctor is dining in the restaurant now."

After saying that, the nurse took a bag of ice and handed it to Qi Qiu: "This can relieve the heat."

"Thank you..." Qi Jiu deliberately lowered his voice and pretended to be dying.

He found that the NPCs in the dungeon world were quite friendly, at least towards him.

"Excuse me...are all the medical staff in the canteen in the North District?" Qi Qiu asked again.

As an NPC that has a fixed running program, it will not try to figure out the motivation of the other party's question. It will only answer when the program rules allow it. She nodded: "Yes."

Qi Gu, who had the factory map, saw two canteen signs. The workshop canteen was in the south district. According to his observation, the south district canteen was filled with workers wearing workshop uniforms like them, so he guessed that the medical staff and management staff

Dining in the North End.

"The doctor will arrive in ten minutes to perform an in-depth examination on you. Please wait a moment."

After the nurse finished explaining, she left the infirmary and went to the dining area. After all, in principle, the cafeteria does not allow employees to leave early.

The rules treat level breakers and NPCs equally.

"The body is the capital of work. Unless it is a special emergency, you must eat on time."

"Unless there are special circumstances during the meal period, try not to leave the canteen area"——

It seems that only employees with sudden infection symptoms fall into the "special emergency" category, and Qi Gu was lucky enough to avoid a bad lunch.

In the morning, he asked Mr. Lord to confirm that "misdiagnosis" would not subject employees to punishment, so he made a bold plan to use the "red-faced" prop to sneak into the infirmary.

Now he is staying in the North District infirmary by himself and has ten minutes.

The plan went smoothly.

After the nurse left, Qi Qiu quickly got up from the hospital bed. The configuration of the infirmary was a bit strange. The windows were completely blocked by cement walls. In addition to the hospital bed, there was an operating table. There was a thick layer of dust on the operating table. Obviously,

It has not been enabled for a long time.

Looking out through the glass on the door of the examination room, Qi Qiu found that the corridor connected seven or eight such medical rooms.

He was about to go to other infirmaries to look for clues when a warning posted on the door caught his attention:

[Patients are not allowed to leave their respective medical offices and are not allowed to walk around the corridor at will]

Qi Qiu paused in turning the door handle and quickly looked around.

Finally, he looked at the doctor's uniform hanging on the wall and narrowed his eyes.
To be continued...
