"Tsk, tsk, if you die in the garden, you will become a staff member?" The master of the Killing Stop Palace nestled in Zhang Yuanqing's arms, tilted his head, and said:
"With my qualifications, I can definitely work as a staff member. If I can retain my sense of self, that wouldn't be too bad."
It's terrible, isn't it? Isn't this just like becoming a puppet of the zoo? Zhang Yuanqing complained loudly in his heart and whispered in agreement:
"What a strange angle. My sister is a strange woman. Well, sister, turn the page and let's take a look at the rules."
When faced with a crazy critic, you can only coax him.
"Okay!" The Master of the Killing Stop Palace looked very coaxable. He turned over the preface and the first page of the Employee Code appeared in front of their eyes.
1: When you see tourists in the outer area of the zoo, please politely ask them if they need help and meet all their needs. If you can help the same person twice, congratulations, he will replace you and stay at the zoo, and you will
will get his body.
2: If you see colleagues wearing black employee uniforms in the outer area of the zoo, ignore them and don’t talk to them. Remember, don’t talk to them.
Three: You must patrol along the prescribed route every night and report problems to the zoo manager.
Four: If you encounter a colleague in black uniform while patrolling the core area, shout loudly to attract the manager or other colleagues and take him out of the core area. If the manager and colleagues do not respond, you can ask the panda or white lion for help.
.
Five: If you encounter thick fog, please stay where you are, don't move, don't talk, and wait for the thick fog to dissipate.
Six: When passing the Dodder Garden, try to pass as quickly as possible. If you see someone shouting, don’t look back.
Seven: There are no cats in the zoo. If you see a cat, please end your patrol immediately and report it to the manager or the white lion.
Eight: Please keep in mind that pandas are cute and honest animals. If not, please read your name loudly to the employee sign.
9: The panda is a respectable animal and must bow. Remember not to mention the words "iron-eating beast" in front of it.
10: The monkeys in the garden cannot speak.
11: There is only one patrol officer per route. If you see a colleague in blue uniform on the route you are patrolling, please pay attention to his badge. If the badge is still there, call his name. If his badge is
It's not here anymore, please run away immediately.
12: Each patrol must end within half an hour. If it exceeds half an hour, please pay attention to the color of your uniform and run back at all costs.
Thirteen: When there is no patrol mission, please stay in the staff dormitory and do not go out. If you hear any unusual noise, please lie on the bed and pretend to sleep. Ignore it and never leave the bed.
The first page ends here, but there is a handwritten line at the bottom:
"New rule added: If your surname is Zhang, please cross out your surname on your work badge. Please do not call out the name Zhang. Once you call out, both the person calling and the person being called will be noticed by it."
Zhang Yuanqing immediately remembered the work sign with the last name crossed out, and found the reason.
This new rule is clearly aimed at me, no, it is aimed at my dad. He looked at the Mistress of the Killing Palace and found that she just raised her head and looked at him.
"The new rules are not rules," she said.
"How do you say it?" Zhang Yuanqing listened attentively.
The palace owner smiled and said: "If you put your arm around my waist, I will tell you."
Princess Yinyao, who was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, couldn't help but look up, her scarlet pupils showing solemnity.
This is a terrible vixen. Compared to her, Guan Ya, the Queen and Xie Lingxi are all inferior in skill.
Sooner or later, this woman overpowered all the confidants of Yuanshi Tianzun and poisoned them one by one.
Princess Yinyao felt very frightened.
At this time, he was in a dangerous situation and it was really not the time to stick to his masculine virtues. Zhang Yuanqing half-heartedly hugged the palace lord's slender waist, which felt surprisingly good.
It has the unique softness and delicacy of women, which makes him linger over it.
"The rules for regular props are unchanging. I have never heard that they can be modified at will. The additions in the employee handbook are more like a taboo than a rule," she said.
"I understand, mentioning the 'heartless person' will anger it." Zhang Yuanqing frowned, "In this case, if I declare my family status, I will die?"
Originally, he still had some illusions in his mind. When the zoo's spirit learned that he was Zhang Zizhen's son, he would be merciful or even turn against him.
"It's good to know. In addition, your little calculation was wrong from the beginning. The rules of regular props cannot even be changed by the props themselves. Otherwise, how can we call them rules?" the palace owner said.
"How do you know what my plans are? You know me so well?" Zhang Yuanqing looked at the palace master.
".Don't talk nonsense, I haven't finished reading the manual yet."
The palace owner turned to the next page, only to find that the content behind it had been torn out.
"No more." She said softly.
"The tone should be more solemn at this time."
"But being hugged by you makes me happy."
Princess Yinyao suddenly became solemn.
Zhang Yuanqing sighed: "I knew it wasn't that simple. How could I tell you all the precautions? In this case, the rules and props would be easy to crack."
"No, even if I tell you, it doesn't mean that I can crack it." The Master of the Killing Palace shook his head slightly:
"For example, Article 8: Monkeys can't talk, but what if they do? It's not written in the manual. Many of them are precautions, but there is no solution."
"If we can't solve it, we will probably die." Zhang Yuanqing sighed.
He suddenly understood the horror of Dominator-level rules-based props.
The red dancing shoes are also a rule-based prop, but there is only one rule, and there are rules everywhere in the zoo. Once one of them is triggered, it is likely to return to the spiritual realm on the spot.
Even if he now has all kinds of trump cards and props, it will be difficult for him to survive.
Not only him, but also the palace master sister, if she breaks the rules, her life will most likely be in danger.
The reason is very simple. The palace owner is a level 7 master and the dog elder is level 8. However, the level 8 dog elder has not yet completely controlled the zoo.
Dominant-level rule-based props basically have their origins, but the zoo is too avant-garde, like the rule-based props that appeared after the birth of the spiritual realm.
As his thoughts turned around, he saw Princess Yinyao lifting up the dusty pillow and raising the trumpet as if to take credit:
"New clues!"
Zhang Yuanqing and the Master of the Killing Palace immediately walked over.
Princess Yinyao holds a small note book with a few lines written on it:
"Another colleague 'died'. Their lives were taken away for the second time. Ever since that guy's accident, people have been dying in the dormitory every day. We can no longer stay here.
"Fortunately, the administrator promised to build us a new dormitory."
I flipped through it and found that the notes at the back were blank and unused.
The content on the note made Zhang Yuanqing and the others understand the reason why the dormitory was abandoned. Something happened to a guy. From then on, the staff in the dormitory began to die one after another.
The zoo manager was unable to handle the matter and chose to change dormitories.
Elder Dog's crotch is stretched a bit. Well, it should be Elder Dog. It can't be the one my dad left behind at that time. Zhang Yuanqing's attention did not stay on the note for too long and said:
"Look for the employee handbook again to see if it is complete."
With that said, he threw the employee handbook to the princess.
The three of them continued to search but found nothing.
Fortunately, there are many rooms here, and there are still thirteen houses waiting to be searched.
They searched the rooms one by one, looking through the first floor, but could not find the second employee handbook.
Then we started searching for the second floor.
Finally, they pushed open the rightmost room on the second floor, which was also the last room.
Unlike other rooms, the door of this room is locked.
There is a U-shaped lock hanging on it.
The person who locked the door seemed to be afraid that something would come out, so he locked the door. Even after moving away, he did not unlock the door.
This house was a little weird. To be on the safe side, Zhang Yuanqing's eyes were filled with darkness as he stared at the tightly closed door.
There were no traces of ghostly activity. He released the "Spirit Eater", took out the ghost mirror, and opened his starry eyes. On his face, blood shone between his eyes, and there was no change.
This is when the limitations of astrology become apparent.
He couldn't tell whether the bloody disaster had anything to do with entering the room.
"There are no signs of life inside." The palace master, who is the commander of the palace, gave an authoritative conclusion.
"There is no smell of femininity either," Zhang Yuanqing said.
After obtaining the palace master's consent, he took a few steps forward, held the U-shaped lock, and exerted force silently with his palms.
The lock tongue clicked and he pulled it open forcefully.
The door opened, and a musty smell flooded into my nose.
Zhang Yuanqing scanned the room with vigilant eyes, seeing the empty bunk beds, the empty long table, and the dust covering every corner.
There doesn't seem to be anything special here, it's even cleaner and tidier than the previous room.
Princess Yinyao glanced at the bottom of the bed: "It's very clean, nothing is left."
Weirdly clean!
Zhang Yuanqing and the Master of the Killing Palace went to the locker by the window as usual. There were four doors, three of which were open and one was locked.
The three open lockers were empty, and everything had been emptied.
"It's strange. The people living in this room seemed to have moved away, while the people in other rooms seemed to have fled in a hurry without even packing away their daily necessities." Zhang Yuanqing whispered.
The Master of the Killing Stop Palace remained silent and came to the only locked locker. Two red threads crawled out of his sleeves, wrapped around a copper lock, and twisted violently.
There was a slight "bang" sound, and the copper lock cracked.
The two red wires hooked the lock ring, and outward, the locker door opened.
There is a blue uniform, a quilt, some daily necessities, a work badge, and a booklet in the locker.
Zhang Yuanqing happily picked up the booklet, only to find that it was a notebook, not an employee handbook.
"It's not an employee handbook. There is only one employee handbook in the entire dormitory." Zhang Yuanqing sighed.
This means that they cannot complete the zoo's rules.
"Wang Mingming." The master of the Palace of Killing Stops picked up the work card and looked at it, then put it back and said, "Look at what is written in the book."
When she was talking, Zhang Yuanqing had already opened the notebook:
"My name is Wang Mingming, and I am a staff member of the zoo. The employee handbook says that I died in the zoo, but I can't remember what happened before. The only thing that is certain is that if you want to survive, you have to work hard. From now on
Starting today, I will be an employee in the park, responsible for night patrols."
"The manager told us to read the employee handbook thoroughly and strictly follow the rules in the handbook. There are nine routes in the core area of the zoo. I am responsible for the second one. This is my first day of patrolling. I hope everything goes well."
"Nothing happened tonight. I'm very lucky. I don't have to go on duty tomorrow and can rest in the dormitory all day."
"Last night, I heard someone knocking on the glass outside the window. I didn't dare to look in that direction. According to the rules of the employee handbook, I lay on the bed and pretended to sleep, not daring to move. But I heard Li Ang next door whisper to me: What's going on outside the window?
The shadow is two meters high and is a monster.
"I didn't dare to answer him.
"When I woke up this morning, Li Ang was missing!!"
"The administrator said that this kind of thing happens all the time and that this is the fate of people who don't follow the rules."
"The patrol tonight went well and there were no accidents."
"Last night, I heard the sound of knocking on the glass again. This morning, another person was missing in the dormitory."
".Someone is missing again."
"The patrol went well tonight."
"Someone is missing again. I am the only one left in the whole dormitory."
"The patrol went well tonight."
“There are also missing persons in other dormitories.”
"The patrol went well tonight."
"Another person disappeared last night. Since Li Ang disappeared, colleagues in the dormitory building have started to disappear one after another. Everyone said that there is a monster knocking on the glass outside the window every night, but it did not knock on the glass in my dormitory again."
"The patrol went well tonight."
"Another person disappeared last night."
Zhang Yuanqing flipped through the pages and found that this was a strange note. It mentioned patrols and missing employees, but he did not go into too much detail and only mentioned it in a few strokes.
The cause of the matter was that after a certain incident of knocking on the glass, Li Ang, who was in the same dormitory with Wang Mingming, disappeared. Then, as if a Pandora's box had been opened, the staff in the dormitory building disappeared one after another.
This notebook simply restores the abandoned dormitory building.
"The 'that guy' mentioned in the note is Li Ang?" Princess Yinyao took advantage of the Palace Master's frown and thought, and secretly came over to take a look.
Just as Zhang Yuanqing was about to speak, he heard Palace Master Zhisha's breathing quicken and he whispered:
"wrong!
"That guy refers to Wang Mingming, not Li Ang."
Zhang Yuanqing's pupils shrank.
"Why?" Princess Yinyao blurted out. After asking, probably knowing that this unruly woman would not answer her, she consciously turned the small speaker to Zhang Yuanqing and said:
"Why? The missing one is obviously Li Ang."
She had just read the contents of the note and hadn't had time to think.
Zhang Yuanqing’s face looked ugly:
"Look carefully at Wang Mingming's patrol experience."
"Patrol experience." Princess Yinyao glanced at the notes a few times, and her tone suddenly became solemn: "It goes well, every day goes well!!"
"Yes, everything goes smoothly every day, but this is impossible. If everything goes smoothly every day, why are there so many rules and precautions in the manual?" Zhang Yuanqing said with a stern face:
"There is only one explanation. There was something wrong with Wang Mingming, but he didn't realize it. Perhaps it was not Li Ang who "missed" that night at all, but Wang Mingming."
Although Princess Yinyao is an infernal corpse, after thinking about it carefully, she feels a bit scary.
The Master of the Killing Palace suddenly said:
"There is another possibility. Wang Mingming did not have an accident when the monster knocked on the window, but something happened earlier, during his first patrol.
"But he didn't realize that something was wrong with him, so he returned to the dormitory. The monster knocking on the door in the notebook was Wang Mingming himself.
"It was him who killed his colleagues one after another. This is also consistent with the information left in the note."
Princess Yinyao held up a small speaker and said, "Then why is this house locked?"
Zhang Yuanqing's expression changed:
"Wang Mingming had to go back to his dormitory every night. The staff wanted to stop this behavior, so they locked his dormitory door. Wang Mingming couldn't go back to his dormitory, so he went back to other employees' dormitories, so people died every day.
"
At this moment, stiff footsteps came from the corridor outside the door.
