As business improved, the factory director, who had always been stingy, actually increased wages and distributed new uniforms and badges to the workers. For a time, the entire factory was filled with an atmosphere of joy.
However, the good times did not last long.
Half a month later, some workers developed stiffness in their hands and feet. At first, they didn't care, thinking they were just tired from working long hours.
But as time went by, more and more employees had problems. Some even said that they had nightmares at night, dreaming that the sculptures came to life and came over to pull out their own bones one by one, which made everyone in the factory panic.
Later, a worker fell from a height and broke his leg.
Although the factory director took him away as soon as possible, rumors still spread. It is said that what protruded from the broken leg of the worker was not a leg bone, but a broken crystal!
Brother Huang paused, swallowed nervously, and then said:
"Since then, many people have resigned, and almost everyone in the factory has left. I originally wanted to leave, but on the night I left, the man in black found me and said he would take me to see Other employees who resigned, and then I saw... they... they were all dead! Buried in the ground in the backyard of the factory, like they were drained.
He also said, if...if I leave too, I will be like them. But if I stay, I will still be like a normal person, and... all the profits from the factory will be given to me! ”
"So, you stayed." Yunchuan glanced at the shivering fat man, "I can tell, the food is good."
"...I really don't know anything! The man said, I don't have to work, I don't have to worry about other workers, I just need to get money, receive new people and keep them..."
"I was scared at first, but then the dead workers crawled out of the ground and continued carving! They didn't hurt me, so... they came here after so many years..."
"So many years? Then let me ask you, have any interns been here before us?" Yue Muyang asked.
"Yes...some. Before you, there were several groups of interns who came, maybe seven or eight times, each group consisted of six or seven people. However, they are different from you. Many people made a fuss when they came in. , crying like a madman, and within a few days of entering, he was chopped clean by workers wandering around in the middle of the night..."
"There is another group of people that I remember very clearly. One of them is very powerful. They are the ones who have lived the longest, but after the last interns became full-time workers, they also became workers in the factory..."
"I really don't know about the rest! Even though I'm strong, I'm timid. I usually don't dare to go out... ugh..." At the end of the sentence, Brother Huang actually burst into tears.
"..." Yunchuan took a few steps back with a look of disgust. He didn't want to face a crying pig with a face full of snot.
"It seems like he really doesn't know anything else. Sorry, I've never heard of this dungeon before. I thought we were the first batch. Now it seems that this dungeon is much more difficult than we thought." Yue Muyang rubbed it He rubbed his brows, feeling a little depressed.
"Not necessarily." Mu Chen said calmly, "Based on what he just described. Most of the previous batches of players should not have experienced players with them. Under such circumstances, it is not easy for ordinary people to survive. .”
Thinking of the bones that broke into the door on the second night, and the workers with giant axes, all the players couldn't help but shudder.
"But we can't become regular players either. He said that players who become regular players will also die." Shangguan Jin pursed his lips, his little face getting paler.
"Aren't we not dead yet? We know so much information now, there is still a chance!" Ning Yu looked at the depressed players and couldn't help but say.
"Yes, yes, little brother Ning Yu is right. This is only the third day, and there is still half the time." Wu Wei muttered to cheer himself up.
Yunchuan glanced at the players cheering each other on. To be honest, he didn't particularly understand human emotions, let alone empathize with them.
He pursed his lips, walked behind the door, and quietly took out the crystal he brought back in the afternoon.
Yue Muyang calmed the players' emotions, and when he looked up, he saw a young man walking towards them holding a crystal.
Yun Chuan walked around the stunned Yue Muyang, placed the crystal next to Brother Huang and asked, "Do you know what's going on? Why are these bones imprisoned in the crystal?" Even though he already had the answer in his heart, he I still want to hear Brother Huang say it himself.
"This...this, where did you get this!" Brother Huang was shocked, "I don't know, I don't know anything!"
Tsk, it looks like there is a ghost at first glance.
Yue Muyang grabbed Brother Huang, who was twisting and hiding to the side, "Tell me everything you know, or else you will feed the axes of those workers tonight."
Mu Chen, who was standing nearby, knocked on the iron pillar with the awl in his hand. Every sound was no less than a death-chasing song in Brother Huang's ears.
"No, don't. I said. I said it's not okay yet. Ever since the workers mutated and crawled out of the ground, large crystal orchids have grown beside the factory building. This damn thing shouldn't grow here.< br>
During the day, they grow on the crystal, which envelops the bones, imprisoning them in the ground. At night, their roots begin to grow, growing onto the bones, replacing them, and the bones can then crawl out of the crystal. Go ho ho workers. I’m not sure. I accidentally saw a piece of crystal that was dug out before, and then I discovered how these bones came out... I really don’t know anything else.”
Seeing that Brother Huang really couldn't tell any more information, Yunchuan mercifully let him go.
"Continue to do your job, and don't tell anyone about today's experience. This thing is intestinal fluid. I found it in the factory director's office. It attacks every 24 hours. From now on, ask me for the antidote at ten o'clock every night. Don't let it happen. I heard some bad news, otherwise, you know... your intestines will melt, and you will eventually die of excessive blood loss." He opened Brother Huang's mouth with a smile and poured a handful of brown into his mouth. of liquid.
"Okay... okay, I listen to you. I will never tell anyone." After getting free, Brother Huang rolled out of the door and disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it, my Brother Chuan is so awesome. I can turn this stuff out..." Ning Yu picked up Mu Chen's clothes and was completely impressed by Yunchuan's handsomeness.
"How is it possible? It's just to scare him. This heart-breaking water is probably just some soil added to the tap water." Mu Chen shrugged.
Tsk... You make me lose face like this. Yun Chuan, who was disgraced, silently stared at the man.
"Okay. Why don't we go to a room tonight and observe these bones. The time is coming soon." Yue Muyang nodded. Everyone agreed. "I will sleep by myself today. I wanted to see if my bones would come to me. The few of you should be enough to deal with the remaining skeletons." Yunchuan raised his hand.
"That's okay." To be honest, Yue Muyang wasn't worried about this daring novice player. He was now even doubting whether it was his first time entering the stars. However, the novice tutorial would not lie, so he suppressed his doubts.
Dangdang……
At this time, the bell rang again. It's time to get off work.
The players returned to the dormitory one after another. This time Yunchuan didn't even lock the door.
'I'm looking forward to it...' he thought.
The night is silent, the dark night embraces the dim stars. Who is the funeral song for tonight?
Yun Chuan lay on the bed and waited quietly.
A rustling sound echoed from the corridor, followed by the rattle of an ax cutting through the ground.
Coming...
The heavy iron door creaked open a crack, and something came in.
He closed his eyes and buried his whole body under the quilt. His curiosity and excitement made him temporarily lose his mysophobia.
They came up, wrapped around the quilt, and rolled over his body.
What an amazing feeling, he thought.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a glistening white hand bone, hovering in front of him, as if trying to open his eyelids.
The dim light shone on Yunchuan's smiling face, and something strange appeared. For a moment, he didn't even know which one of them was more dangerous.
"Want to go home, little guys?" The young man stretched out his hand and lightly touched the white knuckles.
The bones seemed to be stunned. They had no brains and did not know how to think, but something told them that this was wrong.
Their owners should scream in fear and drive them away. Instead of smiling and greeting like now.
However, bones are bones after all, and the temptation of the body is always greater than the master who does not follow the routine.
The phalanges were spread out and intertwined with the ten fingers of the white and slender hands.
Tick
The blood flows slowly, and red plum blossoms bloom on the white quilt.
With a smile, the young man looked lovingly at the white hand bones breaking through the skin and digging in desperately.
The bones of the hand are struggling and fighting. They are desperately trying to drive away the crystal that occupies their position.
However, the crystal that had been firmly rooted was not easy to break away. For a moment, the white palm became bloody and bloody, and unstoppable blood spurted out.
Tsk, let me help you.
Yunchuan's free left hand gently grabbed the tilted crystal and pulled it out hard.
The blood-soaked crystal rolled around twice on the quilt, completely motionless, and its finger bones quickly filled its place.
As if he couldn't feel the pain, he kept pulling out the crystals from his body until... the entire hand bones rejoined his body.
"Ha" the pale young man still smiled and stopped the remaining bones, "Don't come again, good children..." He could feel that the blood in this body was greatly lost. If the bones were allowed to enter, , he will die again from excessive blood loss.
The bones circled around him obediently. They were the most well-behaved children.
Golden threads emerged from the flesh again, repairing and weaving the broken palm.
Suddenly...
There was a loud bang and the door was kicked open. Sure enough, the worker dragging the ax arrived as expected. The ugly, shriveled worker, smelling of death, stopped in front of the bed.
Yunchuan was half lying on the bed. He was unable to get up due to dizziness due to excessive blood loss. The bones around him were jumping all over the bed, but they could not stop the huge ax from slowly lifting...
