Chapter 1 Deducing the Company's Recruitment Test

"Da da."

In the rain curtain, the short boots stepped on the standing water on the ground, splashing shallow water, which quickly merged into the dense raindrops, without a single ripple.

Not far away, an abandoned factory appeared lonely, standing quietly in the dark night, like a low-lying giant devil, waiting for the arrival of its prey.

Yu Xing held a black umbrella in one hand and a flashlight in the other. He wiped the thin layer of water mist on his face with his sleeve and stopped at the factory gate.

There seemed to be voices of conversation behind the door.

"Has the others arrived yet?" he murmured, a coldness coming from behind him.Either way, going alone to an abandoned factory in an industrial suburb on the outskirts of the city near midnight sounds a little weird and daring.

After getting out of the taxi and walking all the way, he has been frightened for a long time, his legs are a little weak, and he always feels as if something is following him behind him.

The wind is mixed in the rain, and it emits a hollow whistling, which is easy to think of creepy things. Yu Xing feels as if he is on the set of a horror movie. The knuckles holding the umbrella handle are white, and he is pale as ghost faces are comparable.

He's not in good health, and he's timid!

The place made him feel very uncomfortable, but he had to come.

Because I was lucky to find a job with a monthly salary of more than 6000 at the age of just graduating from college, even if the job's requirements were a bit strange.

Yu Xing took a deep breath and suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have participated in that company's interview before!The more I think about it, the weirder it gets...

Three days ago, at the recommendation of a friend, he went to participate in the recruitment of a company called Deduction Company. The human resources manager was very satisfied after seeing him, and proposed a series of attractive salary packages, on the condition that At twelve o'clock at midnight three days later, I went to the suburban Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Factory for a test.

This company’s business is biased towards entertainment, including horror short film production, online horror film investment, live broadcast of horror stories, etc. In general, it is all kinds of death, requiring employees to have a strong and stable heart and a rational mind .

So tonight's test can actually be regarded as a guts and reaction assessment, and only those who pass the test can enter the company.

Yu Xing's physical condition is too good. Although his body is not very good, but his heart is fine, he is still favored by the manager of the human resources department and wants to be recruited as an anchor.

"I don't know if this company is reliable or not... The online reviews are pretty good." Yu Xing muttered to give himself courage. Even if he regretted it, it was too late. It's coming if he didn't come. Why don't you take a look at the so-called assessment? what does it look like.

It seems that there is already someone in the factory, so he feels much more secure than he is alone.

Putting the umbrella away and leaning against the door, Yu Xing sorted out his black T-shirt and khaki overalls, took a deep breath, and pushed open the heavy rusted iron door.

crunch--

The harsh sound was drowned out by the torrential rain. The factory was abandoned for more than half a year. Naturally, there was a power outage. Several flashlights appeared from the cracks in the door. The arrival of Yu Xing was noticed by several people not far from the door. , stopped talking and looked at him.

"You... alright." Yu Xing finally saw the person, and his heart was half relieved.

He glanced over and found that the assistant of the manager of the human resources department was also there. It seemed to be the surname of Hao. Apart from assistant Hao and himself, there were five other people present, three men and two women, all of whom were good-looking and seemed to be the same as him. Apply for the same position.

"Hello, hello!" A brown-haired little brother waved to him enthusiastically and called him over. He trotted a few steps closer, and said hello to Assistant Hao.

"Assistant Hao good evening."

Assistant Hao was a chubby man in his early thirties. He looked very friendly. Hearing this, he nodded to Yu Xing: "Good evening, everyone is here."

The girl with long curly hair standing next to the assistant saw Yu Xing's face by the light of the flashlight, and sighed, "Wow, handsome guy, you'll be late in 5 minutes~"

Isn't this... I'm not late yet... Yu Xing snorted in his heart, and said embarrassedly, "This, I'm a little cautious on the road, and the car can't come in, so it was delayed for a while."

"You are timid and apply for a job in this company, buddy, you are very good!" The brown-haired brother laughed, but he didn't have any malicious intentions, but he was straightforward.

Assistant Hao smiled and said: "Our company's anchors are divided into many styles. Calmness is popular, but it also needs that kind of shocking style, which can make the audience feel the same."

Yu Xing forced a smile: Yes, if I am frightened, it will definitely be startled, and the sound is more frightening than the existence of ghosts...

No way, timid, natural.

Seeing that it was almost time and everyone had arrived, Assistant Hao started the business: "I called you here today for testing, I ask you, how much do you know about Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Factory?"

The handsome man with glasses beside Yu Xing answered in a hurry: "More than six months ago, a murder occurred in Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Factory. According to media reports, the owner of the pharmaceutical factory hanged at night, and all production in the factory came to a standstill. It was closed shortly after.”

The long curly-haired girl immediately answered: "It's said that since the first person died in the factory, strange things have been happening, almost killing people, and it didn't stop until it was abandoned. Later, the demolition team came to work, and the workers all said that they had seen a ghost at night. The ghost didn't let them demolish the factory, the workers were terrified, and it was the same for several batches, and finally it was gone until now."

The cliché process is very similar to inferior horror novels, as well as the urban rumors of Hu Zou – generally, they are written by marketing accounts for traffic, and their credibility is extremely low.

So although these two people have inquired about this, they don't take it seriously, they just regard it as a rumor spreading one by one.

"Anything else?" Assistant Hao seemed quite satisfied, looking at a few people who didn't speak.

"This... I know about the same as them. After all, the media reported this." The brown-haired brother scratched his hair. Among the remaining people, a short-haired girl and a young man wearing a mask nodded to indicate the same situation.

"I know something else." Yu Xing hesitated for a while, thinking that he was the last one to arrive, and he should restore his image in the hearts of "future boss" and "future colleague", "Qingyuan Pharmaceutical Factory secretly produces fake drugs Profiteering has hurt a lot of people. I heard that the owner of a pharmaceutical factory may not have committed suicide, but may have been…”

He didn't go on, but everyone else understood what he meant.

"This media didn't report, how did you know?" The man wearing glasses glanced over lightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Yeah, wasn't it classified as a suicide case at that time?" The short-haired girl also wondered.

Yu Xing said: "I have a friend who participated in the investigation. He told me, but due to confidentiality rules, he can't say too much, and what he revealed is ambiguous, but it's better than nothing."

"If that's the case," the long curly-haired girl became excited, "the logic of the rumors will be smoother! Otherwise, why would suicide become a ghost?"

Yu Xing laughed dryly: I can see that this girl is really brave, at least stronger than him.

Assistant Hao clapped his hands and praised: "Collecting information before work is a good habit, no matter what, this habit should continue to be maintained in the future."

He said, suddenly lowered his voice: "However, these rumors are somewhat true or false, and they can scare off so many people, there must be something unusual in this factory, and your test tonight is to stay in the factory. Four hours."

"I'll give each of you a portable camera later. You turn on the camera function, and you will carry the camera around the factory for the next four hours. You can't stop recording except to go to the toilet. After four hours, you haven't run out of the factory and If the recording interval does not exceed 5 minutes, it is considered qualified."

"It's that simple?" The brown-haired brother was taken aback.

Is it simple?Yu Xing looked at the dark and empty first floor that was almost a few meters away, and once again despised his courage.

"Of course it's not that simple." Assistant Hao laughed, with a few shallow wrinkles on his face, he took out the camera from his backpack and distributed it to the six applicants, "Take it first. "

Yu Xing reached out to take it, and his fingertips accidentally touched the back of Assistant Hao's hand.

A cold touch came from the back of Assistant Hao's hand, which made him shiver uncontrollably.

How can it be so icy?Like a dead thing without temperature.

As soon as this thought came out, Yu Xing was startled by himself, and he blamed the environment for making people think of terror. He shook his head and shook off the extra thoughts.

"The battery power in the camera is very low. You have to find the batteries that I have scattered and hidden in the factory. The batteries are all used, and there is only one layer of floating power left. To ensure uninterrupted power for four hours, about eight batteries are needed." Assistant Hao announced the supplementary rules with a smile.

The candidates expressed their understanding, and Assistant Hao patted the clothes and prepared to leave: "Remember to turn on the camera when you are in action, I will come back in four hours, and judge whether you pass the test through the recorded content of the camera. Okay, come on! "

"Okay!" Everyone responded, no matter whether the errand is beautiful or not, the leaders must feel the enthusiasm for work.

Yu Xing saw that the assistant had already walked to the door and was about to go out. He stared at the ground for a while, and suddenly asked, "Assistant Hao, it's cold, your jacket seems to be a little thinner, will it be cold?"

It was mid-September at this time, and the weather was still hot and dry, but the rain has kept raining for the past two days, which has forced the temperature to a point where people have to wear long sleeves.

The short-haired girl's eyes widened, thinking that this script of caring for her boss shouldn't be taken by a man, rob her of work?
Assistant Hao stopped when he heard Yu Xing's question.

After a few seconds, he turned his head, and a standard smile appeared on his fat face: "It's not cold."

After a pause, he stared at Yu Xing's eyes and added: "It's not cold at all, this temperature is very good."

That peaceful tone made people shudder inexplicably.

Intuitively, Yu Xing swallowed the sentence "It's not cold, why are my hands so cold".

Assistant Hao, still smiling, waved to the five and left from the gate.

When he left, he closed the door very "kindly", leaving only six candidates looking at each other in the flashlight.

Yu Xing touched the goose bumps on his arm, but he couldn't speak first, so he lowered his head and fiddled with the camera, and he figured out how to use it after a while.

After turning it on, the battery in the upper right corner of the camera was only one-fifth. He adjusted it at will and found that the camera had a night vision mode, which made it a lot easier for them to move in the dark, but it was a bit of a waste of electricity.

Come to think of it, the rules for finding batteries are to urge them to be active in the factory, and they can't be huddled in a corner for four hours.

It's just, how come it's a little sticky on the camera?
He didn't know where he touched, and there was a strange touch on his index and middle fingers. Before the flashlight was turned off, he temporarily put down the camera and put his hand under the light.

Under the yellow light beam, the bright red on his fingers, like a ruby ​​in a white porcelain plate, was so conspicuous.

Yu Xing immediately realized that it was blood.

The camera that Assistant Hao gave him was stained with blood.
