"A worker disappeared in the dormitory area last night and his whereabouts are still unknown. All employees please pay attention to safety. If there is any suspicious situation, please report it to the department supervisor or security personnel as soon as possible."

The broadcast was broadcast three times in a row, and Mr. Lord beside him frowned and muttered: "This is the first time this has happened..."

Qi Jiu pricked up his ears, first time?

According to the information on missing persons previously obtained in the guard room, disappearances occur frequently in the factory. The first time Mr. Lord mentioned should refer to the broadcast announcement after the disappearance.

Qin Rang sighed, with sympathy on his face: "It seems that besides us, other employees also encountered monsters last night."

Qi Jiu: "The missing persons may not have been attacked by monsters."

Qin Rang immediately looked over with vigilance: "Hey, are there other crisis triggering mechanisms at night?"

"No," Qi Qiu continued, "According to the information we had before, workers in the factory disappear inexplicably almost every day. This situation seems to be commonplace in the local area, but this time the factory used the radio to issue an emergency notice, explaining that this situation

The disappearances this time are very different from those in the past."

The factory management obviously knew about the monsters that appeared at night, so they formulated the strange accommodation rules.

But at the same time, they handled the incident of missing employees in a negative manner, or even ignored it.

Qi Zhu guessed that the management most likely knew the whereabouts of the missing employees, but it was just because of their position that they allowed the disappearance to progress until now.

It just happened that there was only this broadcast announcement. As for the reason...

"Don't forget, there is a guest lying in the bathtub in our dormitory." Qi Qiu pushed up his glasses politely.

Qin Rang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly he said: "You mean... the missing person this time is the monster we captured?!"

As far as the factory management is concerned, only when the monster disappears can it be considered "missing" in the true sense.

"But workers were mentioned on the radio, how could the monster be a worker..." Qin Rang frowned again.

Qi Jiu curled his lips: "This is hard to say."

There is no contradiction between factory monsters and factory employees.

This broadcast also confirmed Qi Qiu’s previous guess that monsters are the product of workers’ alienation.

But what is the connection between the alienated workers and the rose fish? Qi researchers still need more clues to deduce.

Things seem to be getting more and more interesting.

"I would like to ask, do you know how to contact Mr. Bates? I have some matters that I would like to deal with directly." Qi Qiu suddenly turned to Mr. Lord and asked tentatively.

Mr. Lord paused for a few seconds before replying: "I'm afraid it's not very suitable now. Mr. Bates is ill and will not be able to handle factory affairs for a long time."

"Miss Rossetti is now in charge of the affairs of the factory," Mr. Lord added.

Qi Jiu frowned imperceptibly: "Do you know what disease Mr. Bates is suffering from?"

Mr. Lord shook his head: "It seems to be an infectious disease that needs to be isolated. I don't know the details. We haven't seen Mr. Bates for a long time."

Qi Jiu nodded thoughtfully: "What about Madam?"

Mr. Lord: "My lady never asks about the factory."

"Okay, thank you." It seems that Mr. Lord does not know the truth about many things in the factory.

"Given that we only have four employees left today, working in two groups is likely to result in a shortage of manpower, so I invited employees from another group to help with the assembly line production. The four of you will be responsible for the canning work today." Mr. Lord was very happy.

Rearrange work thoughtfully.

Assembly line production inevitably requires contact with fish heads, and looking at fish eyes will reduce the pleasure value. In comparison, the risks of canning are easier to control.

But no one felt relieved at this moment. There were only four people left, which meant that the person who was punished at the end would be selected from the four of them.

After all the hidden rules came to light, everyone knew that the biggest threat now was the last-place penalty system.

The essence of the last-place penalty system is that the four of them need to use their lives to compete for chips.

"I'm sorry, but I want to say it in advance. I will also use the corresponding props to help with the work. After all, I want to save my own life." Ji Xiaoye told everyone clearly.

There was a bit of silence in the air for a while, and Gu Zhenzhen looked at everyone: "Me too, so... everyone, please do your best."

In a world ruled by the law of the jungle, only the strong have the capital to cheer.

Qin Rang started working with a sad face. In his understanding, he was the only newcomer among the remaining four people, and his little luck could not compete with the powerful boss.

This time he was really going to die.

The newbie Qi Jiu seems a little distracted. He has no intention of improving efficiency by working hard. Just like saving money will never make you rich, the little efficiency you can squeeze out by working hard is not worth mentioning in front of capitalists.

It's better to work hard than to take advantage of others.

In order to find a way to deal with punishment, Qi Ku began to think about the logic of the entire punishment——

The person with the lowest work efficiency that day will be sent to punishment, and according to the information obtained by sneaking into Mr. Lord's office before, the punishment is to go on duty in the nursery.

Although it is not clear what the nursery means now, there is no doubt that it is definitely a dangerous place.

As an employee entering the nursery, you will definitely go through security inspection steps. Chemical contraband cannot be brought into the nursery, and employees will be in a very passive state.

What's even worse is that the nursery, as the core production department of the factory, is protected by rules and cannot use offensive props to fight monsters...

It is the stupidest way to go head-on and narrowly escape death. Waiting for the punishment to happen before thinking about how to survive.

If we fundamentally prevent punishment from happening and minimize losses and dangers——

For example, destroying the entire last-place penalty rule or something...

It sounds pretty good.

Qi Qiu thought quickly and suddenly had a question: Why are the other rules written in black and white in the rule book, but only the last-place penalty system was described orally by Mr. Lord?

Is it possible that the penalty for last place is not in the factory rules, but is a rule set by Mr. Lord himself?

——If this is the case, then simply getting rid of Mr. Lord would be equivalent to abolishing the entire last-place penalty system.

Qi Zhu shared his thoughts with everyone, but Ji Xiaoye's brows did not relax. She reminded: "But the dungeon rules have been clearly written. We cannot harm the indigenous people at will, especially mainline NPCs like Mr. Lord, otherwise

You will be directly judged as having failed to pass the level."

Qin Rang had a rare thought: "Then what if you use the manipulation skills to make Mr. Lord automatically ask for leave and not go to work like you did with employee No. 5?"

Gu Zhenzhen: "..."

Ji Xiaoye: "Unfortunately, my manipulation skills cannot be tried on NPCs."

While everyone was having a heated discussion, Qi Jin, who brought up the topic, became unusually silent.

If you want to get rid of a management member, what other options are there besides violent injury?

In a flash of lightning, he suddenly thought of someone who might be able to help.

It's just that he currently lacks the weight to trade with the other party.

Qin Rang seemed to have underestimated his luck.

With the blessing of good luck, his work went very smoothly all day long. However, Qi Kui, who was standing next to him, had frequent problems, and his work efficiency was greatly reduced today.

Therefore, Qi Qiu's work efficiency is obviously much lower than anyone else's.

Qin Rang looked into his eyes and said with some hesitation: "Boss, actually you don't need to help me like this. I feel very uncomfortable if you do this. After all, not long ago, I was trading information with Wu Gui behind your back in exchange for props."

In his perception, Qi Jiu is an unattainable boss. It is impossible for a boss to have no way to improve work efficiency. Now Qi Jiu lags behind everyone, it must be because he deliberately gave the opportunity to himself...

"Really, boss, you don't have to go to this point. I also know... I can't get far just by relying on luck." Qin Rang convinced himself, and was finally moved by his roommate who "regardless of past grudges".

Qi Jiu: "..."

Ji Xiaoye glanced at Qi Jiu doubtfully. She did not think that Qi Jiu was a holy father who would deliberately reduce his efficiency to help his roommates, but she could not figure out the reason why Qi Jiu reduced his efficiency.

Is he really at the end of his rope and without any tools or skills to improve his efficiency?

But judging from Qi Gu's performance these days, he is not a desperate person.

What on earth is this guy planning?

Qin Rang was still moved by himself: "Boss, if you need me for anything in the future, just ask. Although I don't have much ability, but..."

"Really?" Qi Jiu asked hurriedly.

Qin Rang was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Ah, really!"

Qi Jiu smiled: "In my opinion, luck is the best skill."

The fact that his efficiency is at the bottom cannot be changed, but he can find other ways to solve it.

To this end, Qi Ku planned two plans. If one didn't work, the other could be better. Even if it was a gamble, the risk would be minimized as much as possible.

While talking to Qin Rang, Qi Jiu quietly wrapped a small fish bone in toilet paper and hid it in his work clothes pocket.

Ji Xiaoye had good eyesight and silently noticed his little moves, but she understood the rules and didn't ask too much. She just kept it to herself.

What did Qi Jiu do with the fish bones? She didn’t think the other player was using dirty tricks to infect others with unused fish bones in order to find a scapegoat.

Of course, in this world where the jungle prevails, human nature cannot stand the test.

What's more, the heart is separated from the belly.

However, if Qi Jiu really does this, Ji Xiaoye thinks that she will not be considered by him for the time being.

The most dangerous one should be Qin Rang.

Just stay still and observe silently.

"Really, as long as you need me, I will do my best to do it." Qin Rang promised generously.

"Okay," Qi Jiu said, not politely, "you still have to go out with me tonight."

"No problem, where are we going tonight?" Qin Rang has adapted to this impromptu after-dinner activity of breaking into and robbing a house in the dark and windy weather, and has become more and more proficient at it.

"Room 109, Building 3, North District." Qi Qiu said.
