It was pitch black outside the coffee shop late at night, and the streets were deserted. A gust of strange wind blew from time to time and rolled up the old newspaper next to the trash can, which scared the night cats in the corner to make sharp and harsh screams.

In the coffee shop, even if the lights are warm, it still makes people feel chilly at this time.

Yan Ran poured a cup of hot water for the young man named Meng Guohui. Meng Guohui tried to sit sideways, not even looking out of the corner of his eyes.

"Thank you for listening to me..."

Meng Guohui looked at Yan Ran gratefully, with more fatigue on his face, but he still insisted on saying:

"At the end of last year, I failed to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and my family's financial situation could no longer support me in continuing my studies, so I could only submit resumes to major companies, hoping to find a job that could support me, but my resume was like a rock and no response for more than a month. Now those companies require 985 and 211 graduates, and HRs are too lazy to take a look at it."

" Fortunately, my efforts were not in vain. An Internet company that had just been established recently admitted me. On the day I joined the company, I dressed neatly, wanted to welcome my first job with the best spirit, and planned to get along well with my colleagues. As a result, after I arrived at the company, I found that the employees in the company did not seem to care much about their image. They just nodded to my arrival, and there was no intention of welcome at all, and even... there was a little hostility."

"Maybe this is the world of adults. I didn't think too much at that time. I started working after sitting down. But for the first time I went to work, and I still had many unfamiliarities with my work. Fortunately, Brother Zhang in the company took special care of me. He reminded me that the company adopted the last-place elimination system. If the work is not hard enough, I will be kicked out of the company soon. HR has 10,000 ways to get me away and I can't get a salary."

"I immediately became nervous and asked Brother Zhang how to avoid being kicked out of the company. Brother Zhang told me that as long as you always do a little more than others, I will arrive at 8:50 in the morning when others go to get off work at 9 o'clock in the morning, and I will leave at 10 o'clock in the evening. Others make a plan, I will do two sets. Others make Chinese, and I will add another set of English version..."

"At the beginning, I strictly abide by Brother Zhang's reminder and do more things than others. In the first month, the company drove away five employees. Fortunately, I was not there, but... I saw that in the performance ranking, after removing those five people, I was the sixth last one. If I didn't work harder, I would be the one who was driven away next month!"

Speaking of this, Meng Guohui showed pain: "My parents are old and can't plant fields anymore. Back then, they sold the only cattle in the family that I had to go to for my studies. Now that I have finally graduated, I have to carry the whole family. Not only do I have to take care of my parents, but also my parents. I have the lives of six people on my shoulders, and I can't do my job... So I work hard, work hard, and work harder, and I will go to the company at six o'clock every day and leave at twelve o'clock. I rush to do anything, and I also have to learn various skills in my spare time."

"The second month, the company drove away ten employees in one go, and I stayed again, but the company also recruited more employees. The employees were full of energy and seemed to have endless energy. I suddenly felt a greater sense of crisis. If I didn't work hard enough, I would still be replaced by new employees next month!"

"So, for a week, I simply lived in the company. Seeing that my performance was among the best, I thought I would definitely be able to spend this month safely, but I didn't expect that I had a serious illness due to overwork and didn't go to work for three days!"

"I thought a lot during those three days. I knew that if I continued to do this, I would die sooner or later on my job, but if I didn't continue to do this, I would die sooner or later somewhere else... But I was so tired and wanted to give up. After recovering from the illness, I returned to the company and planned to relax. It would be better not to pay my life. So I stopped working as hard as before, and even took advantage of the excuse of going to the bathroom to take advantage of fishing in troubled waters. The appearance of the weird guy... began that day."

"Originally, the weird guy was just standing at the door of the company's toilet, without moving, staring at me. I was so angry that I was staring at him that I called the security guard, but the security guard insisted that I couldn't see the weird guy. I called a few colleagues, but they couldn't see them. Later I realized that only I could see the weird guy. I thought that weird guy would only appear in the company, but I didn't expect that he would follow me off work and go home with me, and even when I was taking a shower and sleeping, he was with me!"

"I can't touch him or get rid of him. No matter where I hide, he will appear coldly and stare at me! I was so scared that I went to find a Taoist master and a psychologist, but no one could solve my problem. Gradually, I began to numb, began to ignore the existence of the weird guy, and continued to work. I thought I could be peaceful, but at the moment when the performance of the third month was announced, the weird guy suddenly walked towards me and kept hitting my head with a spoon!"

"It hurts if the spoon hits his head, but the terrible thing is that no matter how I hide, the spoon can always hit my head, as if the King of Hell was urging his life. I began to resist, but the strange manpower was extremely powerful and I couldn't shake him at all. There were even a few times when I was forced to get angry and took the fruit knife and stabbed him. He didn't react at all, but the strength to hit me became stronger!"

"I can't resist, so I can only continue to resist and ignore it. The weird guy kept hitting me from the office. When I put my hands on the keyboard, the weird guy stopped hitting me. I looked back in surprise, but saw the weird guy's mask, and he was actually grinning at me..."

"Since then, the weird guy kept chasing me and knocking me on the head. He would only stop when I was doing work-related things. For example, when I was working, when I woke up early, or when I got off work late, so in order not to be beaten by the weird guy, I could only work constantly, go to work earlier than I was and get off work later. I thought that doing this would get rid of the weird guy, but the fact is - if I got up late today than yesterday, the weird guy would wake me up with a spoon and urge me to go to work!"

"Just like this, I kept working and avoiding him. He kept chasing me and hitting me. This lasted for half a month until just now, when I ran into your coffee shop, the weird guy finally didn't chase him..."

Speaking of this, Meng Guohui seemed to have lost his strength and his eyes were distracted, as if he would die suddenly in Yan Ran's shop the next second.

He lay weakly on the table and said dullly: "Boss, what I said is true...I am not mentally ill..."

"I believe you, I'm not mentally ill either."

Yan Ran whispered: "If you feel tired, just go to bed in the store. I am here, and the weird guys dare not come in."

"Thank you...Boss..."

As soon as Meng Guohui finished speaking, his heavy eyelids closed, and he couldn't tell whether he was asleep or fainted.

Yan Ran stood up, looked at the empty street outside the window, turned to Su Xiaochan and asked:

"Xiao Chan, can you see that weird guy?"

Su Xiaochan did not respond. Yan Ran judged that the monster was not enough to pose any threat to him, so Su Xiaochan would not have any extraordinary reaction.

No matter how you look at this incident, it seems like an abnormal pollution incident. I just don’t know if it is the contaminated by the Bangkok, the masked monster, or someone in the Bangkok company.
