In the dead silence, the sound of bullets being loaded was particularly harsh.

Qin Rang shivered violently. At this moment, he was even more frightened than the night the monster first appeared.

He keenly sensed an absolutely "dangerous" aura from this red-haired girl.

Qi Jiu, who was also pointed at the gun, did not change his expression. He raised his hands to show that he was not aggressive: "Sorry, Miss Rossetti, we meet again."

Miss Rossetti raised her gun, locked the office door with her other hand and turned on the light.

Some dazzling lights instantly flood the office.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Qi Qiu with an unclear look: "It's you again, the lost new employee."

"I hope you didn't get lost and entered my office." Miss Rossetti took a step forward, stared at Qi Qiu more closely, and glanced at Qin Rang out of the corner of her eye.

Qin Rang immediately wanted to take a step back, but his limp legs were completely unresponsive. He was afraid that he would not be able to control the sound, so he hurriedly covered his mouth with trembling hands.

"Of course not." Qi Qiu's glasses reflected the light, making it difficult for the other party to see his expression clearly. "You told me the address of your office yesterday, so I wanted to come and find you before the lights go out in the dormitory."

Miss Rossetti raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Have you seen the cat?"

Her original words yesterday were that if the other party had news about the cat, they could contact her directly in the office.

The air fell into a tense silence for a moment.

"You'd better see it, otherwise..."

Qi Jiu stared at the other party quietly, staring at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him.

At this moment, he faced two choices, either betray the little gray cat and tell what he had seen and heard, or be shot in the head by Miss Rossetti.

Of course, you can also choose none——

"Unfortunately, there is no information about the cat at the moment, but my companion picked up something. I guess it was lost by you, Miss. It looks very valuable."

With that said, Qi Qiu redeemed the "Rose Necklace" he had just obtained from the item box and held it in his hand against the light. "I happen to have your office address, so we want to hand it to you in person."

This rose necklace was Qi Kui's biggest gain tonight, and it was also his bet.

In the multiple-choice question just given by the system, although the ab options seemed very practical and the effect was straightforward, since he wanted to trade with Miss Rossetti, there was no more appropriate way than to give in to her.

When visiting the Bates family photo at the Cultural Center, Qi Jiu noticed the unique rose necklace around Mrs. Bates's neck. Now the portraits all over the room also confirm this. The lady seems to like the rose necklace very much and always wears it.

Wear it around your neck and don't want to take it off.

It is obvious that as an adopted daughter, Miss Rossetti has an unusual attachment to Madame.

Qi Jiu guessed that the rose necklace, which had been lost with his wife's death, was now back in his hands through the system, becoming the biggest weight in his gamble.

Sure enough, Miss Rossetti looked stunned, and the hand holding the gun trembled obviously.

She opened her eyes slightly and looked at the rose necklace. For just a moment, a moist light seemed to flash through her eyes. She lowered her gaze slightly to hide her uncontrollable emotions.

Qi Jiu: "Miss Rossetti, is this your necklace?" He said this deliberately.

He thoughtfully placed the necklace on his desk, waiting for the other party to take it in person.

"Yes..." Miss Rossetti finally lowered her gun and reached for the rose necklace on the table with a moved expression, "It belongs to my mother. I gave it to my mother."

The crisis is temporarily resolved.

Qin Rang, who was confused and confused at the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Jiu's eyes were gentle: "The necklace is very beautiful."

"Thank you," Miss Rossetti finally put down her gun and carefully held the necklace with both hands. "I thought I would never find the necklace again. Fortunately, you gave it to me in person."

Qi Jiu waited patiently for Miss Rossetti to digest her emotions. Seeing that the time was almost up, he said in a consultative tone: "Actually, I also have something to ask of you."

Miss Rossetti calmed down her emotions: "Please tell me that as a thank you I can grant you a request, but it must be reasonable."

"Since we joined the factory, Mr. Lord has been responsible for guiding new employees. His patience and enthusiasm for new employees are undeniable, but his management seems to be a little too authoritarian. I think if this continues, it may be depressing.

Destroying the enthusiasm and creativity of employees and cultivating employees will not be a good thing for the future development of the factory."

Qi Jiu finished his long speech with a calm expression, and the implications were obvious.

Miss Rossetti held the necklace in her hand. She did not answer immediately, but looked at Qi Qiu with interest.

Qin Rang on the side looked at Qi Jiu in disbelief, "Good guy, this statement sounds reasonable and polite, but in fact it is cruel and stupid."

Of course, Qin Rang has not forgotten that not long ago, they were discussing how to get rid of Mr. Lord, thereby fundamentally abolishing the punishment system for last place.

At that time, everyone only thought of using force to deal with Mr. Lord. Unexpectedly, the boss secretly planned to report to the leader.

It's so tea.

It's simply delicious and delicious.

Half a moment.

"So you want Mr. Lord to have a holiday?" Miss Rossetti asked knowingly.

Qi Ji admitted frankly: "Yes."

Miss Rossetti smiled: "It's not impossible, but in exchange, I need someone to take over Mr. Lord's work."

Qi Jiu: "Do you need me to find a replacement?"

Miss Rossetti narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him. After a moment: "No, I already have my favorite candidate. It just depends on whether you are willing to convince him for it."

Qi Qiu met the other party's gaze and quickly understood what Miss Rossetti was referring to. He nodded humbly: "I am happy to serve you."

Miss Rossetti formally extended the invitation: "So, would you like to replace Mr. Lord as supervisor?"

Qi Jiu: "Of course."

Although he has doubts about the risks he faces as a supervisor, this is the only way to overturn the last-place penalty system at the moment.

It is more important to solve the urgent problem.

Miss Rossetti raised her lips with satisfaction: "After becoming a supervisor, you have the power of Mr. Lord. You can set rules for the employees in your department, but accordingly, you also need to bear the responsibility of a supervisor."

"As for responsibilities, you will figure it out in your future work," Miss Rossetti said vaguely, and the smile on her face became intriguing. "It's getting late. You should go back to the dormitory quickly. The lights will be turned off soon.

Already."

She had no intention of continuing to explain her "responsibility" and issued an eviction order.

"Okay, excuse me for today." Qi Jiu winked at Qin Rang, and Qin Rang almost jogged out of the office after he realized what he was doing.

But when they retreated to the door, Miss Rossetti suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Qi Jiu turned around.

Miss Rossetti glanced at the door lock: "How did you get into my office?"

She checked and found that there was no sign of damage to the door lock, which at least ruled out the two of them breaking into the house.

Qin Rang's heart suddenly beat wildly as he felt guilty. Qi Jiu said without missing a beat against the light of the corridor lamp: "When we came to find you, the door of the office was open, so we thought you were there, so we took the liberty to enter the office."

Miss Rossetti looked at him suspiciously: "Then you closed the door?"

"As soon as we came in with our front feet, the back door was blown shut by the wind," Qi Qiu explained. He had already prepared this sentence in his mind without changing his expression, "and then you came over."

Everything suspicious was explained by him as coincidence.

Miss Rossetti looked at him silently for a few seconds before she said, "I understand. You can go back and rest."

"OK."

After receiving permission, the two trotted out of the gloomy corridor. It wasn't until they walked out of the office building that Qin Rang breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Qiu also relaxed his tense shoulders, and rarely complained: "It's so dangerous."

"I'm so nervous," Qin Rang said with a grimace. "This lady's aura is so scary. My legs were always weak just now."

Qi Jiu smiled: "Really? I think you run pretty fast."

"Fortunately, we didn't break in by picking the lock, otherwise we wouldn't be able to explain it." Qi Zhu was still frightened, and the 75 coins he bet on Ji Xiaoye was well spent. His actions really couldn't rely entirely on luck.

Qin Rang took some time to regain his composure. He looked at Qi Qiu with admiration and curiosity: "By the way, boss, what did you do before you came in? You have a good skill in persuading leaders by making small reports."

Qi Jiu asked seriously: "Is there enough tea?"

Qin Rang: "..." You still know what's going on.

"So I'm curious about what you do, it's incredible."

Qi Jiu shrugged: "A high school student from an ordinary school."

Qin Rang: "...Huh?"

"seriously?"

"Well, seriously, I still carried my student card with me before I died. Do you want to see it?" Qi Jiu joked.

Qin Rang opened his mouth in disbelief, hesitated for a moment and shook his head and said, "I don't want to accept this fact. It's too complicated."

Qi Jiu smiled: "Let's go. After taking care of Mr. Lord, we should be able to sleep well tonight."

Qin Rang gave him a meaningful look. This guy spoke as if he couldn't sleep well one day.

*

Qi Jiu did not fall asleep immediately that night. He thought repeatedly about the relationship between the Bates family.

It is now certain that Mr. Bates has disappeared, and for some ulterior reason Miss Rossetti does not intend to call the police.

The people who disappeared in this factory were either infected with strange diseases or eaten by monsters.

Qi Research is inclined to believe that Mr. Bates encountered the former.

Madam's death seems to be different. If she died under a cliff... are the remaining 25% of the subplot related to her state after death?

Miss Rossetti's attachment to Madam is also very interesting. Is this related to the disappearance of Mr. Bates?

As for what kind of crises and challenges he will face after becoming the new supervisor, he will "wait and see" tomorrow. He wants to take a good rest tonight.

Unknowingly, Qi Jiu fell asleep. While he was dazed, the injury on his neck suddenly felt a little itchy, as if he was being rubbed again and again by some fluffy or hot object.

Although it was very comfortable, Qi Jiu's body immediately tensed up after being woken up.

As if aware of Qi Qiu's nervousness, the other party also stopped moving.

Qi Jiu opened his eyes vigilantly, and he breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that the little gray cat was carefully squatting next to him and the cat gave a low "meow".

The sleepy Qi Jiu stretched out his hand and lazily scratched the little gray cat's chin. The little guy licked the palm of his hand again and again, making it warm and soft.

Opposite him, Qin Rang was sleeping deeply, covering his head with a quilt and showing no intention of waking up.

"Why are you here?" Qi Jiu lowered his voice very low.

"Meow meow."

He continued to lick Qi Qiu's palm diligently, as if thanking him for not betraying him today.

Qi Jiu smiled: "I'll get you something to eat."

He rubbed the round cat's head and was about to go to the prop box to buy two boxes of dried fish. The originally obedient little gray cat suddenly raised its tail and jumped onto Qi Jiu's chest. One of its paws even

Pressing Qi Qiu's Adam's apple, she looked at him in a condescending manner——

"How..." Qi Qiu stopped talking and his sleepiness disappeared.

The little gray cat looked at his eyes, which had changed from blue to gray-green.

Like the eyes of a devil hidden in the dark abyss.

Just like what was in the frame that day.
