In Zheng Kai's life of more than 20 years, the choice he faced today was particularly simple.
"accept!"
Zheng Kai hardly had time to think for too long.
If you just treat it as a game, then this choice will be completely stress-free.
Obviously,
This is Zheng Kai's current inner activities.
Why not experience the joy of playing games while sleeping?
The next second,
A line of green time countdown appeared on Zheng Kai's right wrist, which was exactly ten days.
Time passes by second by second.
Zheng Kai couldn't sit still.
He is now like a player who is exposed to a new game, eager to explore the content of this game map.
He didn't even consider what "negative resistance -5" meant.
"Two hours left!"
Zheng Kai calmed down his mood.
The biggest function of this massage chair is to evoke beautiful inner memories, promote deep sleep, and even achieve brain development.
Zheng Kai is not sure how all this happened?
But it most likely has something to do with him.
But in his impression, he had never been to any educational kindergarten.
Sitting on the chair, Zheng Kai thought silently for a long time.
He knew that he could delay it until three hours, and then he could exit the deep dreamland.
But sitting in this room, Zheng Kai felt a little too bored.
An hour later, Zheng Kai slowly stood up and blew out the candles.
The room fell into darkness again.
Ten seconds later,
Zheng Kaicai had just adapted to the dim environment and could barely see the surrounding scenery clearly.
"Squeak~~~"
The door leaf was gently opened, and the thin wooden board made a slightly harsh sound, which was especially obvious in the silent environment.
The door page has stopped moving.
behind the door,
Zheng Kai squinted his eyes slightly along the gap and looked out the door. He waited for a few minutes before tiptoeing out of the room.
Zheng Kai was not sure what time it was at night.
But he felt it should be past nine o'clock.
Uncle Li mentioned to him that he could not leave his room after nine o'clock in the evening.
So Zheng Kai acted very carefully, not daring to let Uncle Li find out.
"The massage chair asked me to find someone for help. The only person I could find was Uncle Li, but now is not the time. If the old man knows that I ran out at night, I will definitely be scolded again."
Zheng Kai wrapped his clothes tightly. His room was on the far right of this row of employee dormitories.
Since you are looking for a map, you must search everywhere.
Zheng Kai walked to another room next to his room, leaned on the window and looked inside. It was dark and he saw nothing.
I subconsciously turned the door handle with my right hand and found that it was locked from the inside.
After thinking about it,
Zheng Kai gave up the idea of violently breaking down the door.
Zheng Kai then briefly checked all the rooms in this row. Some rooms were locked and some were not.
In the unlocked room, Zheng Kai did not find other parts of the map.
What makes Zheng Kai even more confused is that,
There seemed to be no one in so many rooms.
He seemed to be the only one living in this row of rooms.
Since you can't find it here, it's time to go elsewhere.
Zheng Kai cast his gaze into the dim distance. That direction... was the location of the second-story building, where the principal's office was located.
He currently doesn't have much map information, so he can only start with the two-story building in the south.
Zheng Kai likes this process of exploration bit by bit and always feels a full sense of accomplishment.
Just when Zheng Kai was about to walk south, there was a banging sound in the dim distance, like the sound of a ball hitting the ground.
Zheng Kai frowned slightly.
It's so late, and no one is still awake.
Could it be Uncle Li?
Zheng Kai carefully moved toward the source of the sound and hid himself in a corner, leaving only half of his head exposed to look at it.
No one?
Zheng Kai could not see a trace of anyone.
But the sound of hitting the ball in his ears was unusually clear. Listening to it with his eyes closed, Zheng Kai even felt that the ball was less than ten meters away from him.
The next second, the sound of hitting the ball stopped abruptly.
The surroundings fell into eerie silence again.
Zheng Kaixin felt a little confused and subconsciously took a small step back.
The dim environment, the sudden stop of the sound of batting, and the clearly audible gasping all reminded Zheng Kai of some bad things.
"Brother, who are you looking for?"
A childish voice sounded close to Zheng Kai's right ear. In an instant, a sharp chill shot up Zheng Kai's back and spine, and his hands and feet were extremely cold.
Zheng Kai turned around suddenly, took a few steps back in a hurry, pressed his back heavily against the wall, and then looked at the speaker with a cold sweat on his face.
This is a little boy who looks to be only four or five years old.
His whole body was white and he had very little hair. Only a few sparse hairs were hanging on the top of his head, like a patient after chemotherapy.
Holding a black and red leather ball in his two small hands, he stood motionless and looked at Zheng Kai.
This kid...how does he walk without making any sound!
Before, Uncle Li made no sound when he walked, so Zheng Kai didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
But now,
Zheng Kai felt that there was a problem here, and it was a big problem.
With his throat squirming, Zheng Kai calmed down his wildly beating heartbeat, and then put on a forced smile: "Kid, why don't you sleep at night?"
at this moment,
Zheng Kai began to wonder if the style of this massage chair was a bit off.
The promotion talks about good memories, but when it was Zheng Kai's turn, why did he become such a weird person...
The little boy stared at Zheng Kai for a long time, then grinned his pale mouth, revealing his same pale teeth: "Brother, can you play with me?"
Zheng Kai couldn't laugh anymore.
He is very panicked and nervous now!
He even wanted to slap himself.
Isn't it good to just stay in the room? You have to go out and run around at night!
"What's your name?"
Zheng Kai suppressed the fear in his heart, squatted down less than half a meter away from the little boy, and looked directly into his eyes.
All his calmness was just an act.
An ordinary social worker was forced to change his career and become an actor. No one would believe him if he told him.
Obviously, Zheng Kai's behavior exceeded the little boy's expectation.
Human doubt appeared on his pale face, but disappeared again.
Zheng Kai was too close, no one had ever dared to get so close to him, and there was no fear or fear on Zheng Kai's expression.
This little boy's body was very cold, always exuding a chill.
Zheng Kai recalled the long white bag he had carried before, which gave him the same cold and tingling feeling.
Both are laughing.
It's just that Zheng Kai's smile is a little stiff, and the little boy's smile is a little scary.
"My name is No. 14."
"Let's play hide and seek!"
"I'll catch you!"
"If brother loses, I will make you into a ball!"
The little boy jumped up and down happily, full of joy. He looked at Zheng Kai with an innocent look, looking up and down, and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
Zheng Kai was startled, and the smile on his face could no longer be held on. A heart-piercing cold air rose up all over his body and went straight to his brain, making his hands and feet feel cold.
Can't help but,
Zheng Kai lowered his head slightly and looked at the ball in the little boy's hand.
Could it be that this ball......
really!
There is absolutely something wrong with this place!
At this moment, the helpless female voice sounded again.
"User No. 014, please note that a good day starts with spending time with children."
"Newbie mission triggered: Hide and seek with kid No. 14."
"Mission requirements: No physical contact with No. 14, otherwise the mission will fail."
"Task reward: Favorability of all children in the puzzle kindergarten is 5."
"Mission failed: permanent brain damage."
"Please accept the task as soon as possible!"
Zheng Kai's eyes were very solemn.
The coldness of his hands and feet did not affect Zheng Kai's rapidly spinning brain.
The more urgent it is, the more calm you need.
"User No. 014, please note that if you do not answer within ten seconds, the user will accept the task by default."
In the beginning, Zheng Kai simply regarded these tasks as games, with a relatively calm attitude; but now some of them are beyond his control.
"accept."
Zheng Kai pretended to be calm and smiled: "Okay! Brother, let's play with you! But you have to cover your eyes obediently and you can take them off after one minute!"
The little boy squatted in the corner obediently and began to count down, covering his eyes.
for a moment,
The expression on Zheng Kai's face changed.
He looked at the little boy's back and took a few steps back, then turned around and ran away.
There are only two places Zheng Kai can choose now, one is the security room at the gate, and the other is his own staff dormitory.
A second later, Zheng Kai gave up the idea of a security room.
There is no other reason!
Just because my own staff dormitory is closer than going to the security room.
Thump thump thump....
The sound of panicked and hurried running echoed throughout the kindergarten, disrupting the hidden darkness. Some things in the darkness poked their heads out and then retracted.
The sound of Zheng Kai's heavy breathing was added to the dead silence.
"ten."
In Zheng Kai's ears, the little boy's countdown sound was extremely clear.
One minute is very short.
It was so short that Zheng Kai wished he could grow more legs and run wildly. His hands and palms were covered in cold sweat, and the corners of his eyes were beating. The strong uneasiness and fear made Zheng Kaixin raise his throat.
"What the hell is this place!"
Zheng's head felt numb.
This should not be the correct way to open a massage chair!
"Four."
It was clear that he was getting farther and farther away from the little boy, but Zheng Kai felt that the countdown sound became clearer.
"one."
"Brother, I'm here to find you."
at the same time,
Zheng Kai finally rushed into his dormitory and locked the door from the inside.
"User No. 014, please note that there are still three minutes left before voluntary exit."
He leaned against the door leaf, not daring to let out any air, not even daring to light a candle.
Zheng Kai heard the little boy's voice.
"Brother, where are you hiding?" The voice seemed to ring in his ears, and Zheng Kai was so frightened that he looked around the room in panic.
Bang!
A door was pushed open forcefully.
Judging from the size and distance of the sound, the little boy should have started looking in the room on the left.
Zheng Kai covered his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound.
The little boy's way of opening the door was extremely simple and crude, completely different from Zheng Kai's previous caution.
The whole kindergarten could hear the loud banging of the door, one after another, with almost no pause.
Every time it rings,
Zheng Kai's body trembled.
Zheng Kai stared at the exit countdown in front of him, and the remaining minute became particularly difficult.
The same is one minute.
Some minutes pass in the blink of an eye; some minutes are as long as a century.
"I thought that after using this massage chair, I wouldn't have to have nightmares in the future, but I didn't expect that the nightmares would become more real."
Zheng Kai put his feet against the ground, his whole back against the door behind him, and began to take a deep breath.
The door kicks getting closer and closer forced Zheng Kai's adrenaline to continuously surge. Recently, Zheng Kai's sleep had not been good, and now he was really afraid that he would suddenly die.
"Thirty seconds to exit countdown!"
Suddenly, a familiar chill came over me.
He didn't even need to look back at the window to know that there must be a pale face lying on the window, looking curiously at the room.
"Bang!"
The door was knocked hard.
Zheng Kai staggered, his eyes twitching wildly, but he gritted his teeth and kept his posture unchanged.
"Bang!!"
Another shout!!
The sawdust on the door panel flew past Zheng Kai's cheek, and a curious and innocent eye continued to look into the room through the gap in the door panel.
"Ten seconds!"
Zheng Kai's face was filled with joy, and he began to shout the word "quit" crazily in his heart.
The next second,
A loud noise exploded in Zheng Kai's ears, and the brief tinnitus impacted Zheng Kai's brain nerves, causing Zheng Kai's pupils to shrink suddenly.
A seemingly thin figure slowly came into view.
The little boy scratched his head, grinned, and jumped towards Zheng Kai: "Brother, I found you."
Said,
The little boy stretched out his pale and thin right hand to Zheng Kai.
Zheng Kai used his hands and feet to crawl back, shouting crazily in his heart: "Exit!"
This kid... really can make a ball out of him...
“Welcome to use next time~”
The pleasant female voice made Zheng Kai feel the familiarity he had not seen for a long time.
The little boy's hand was less than ten centimeters away from Zheng Kai's face. He was frozen in place for an instant. Everything in front of him began to blur, like glass soaked by rain being split into many small pieces.
Finally, I brushed lightly and there was nothing left.
Inside the massage chair.
Zheng Kai opened his eyes suddenly, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, and he was gasping for air.
After regaining some strength, Zheng Kai climbed out of the massage chair and lay on the cold floor with a relaxed smile.
After using the massage chair once, it was like experiencing a real strange world in person. The feeling was so real that even now, Zheng Kai felt his heart trembling and couldn't help but tremble.
suddenly,
Zheng Kai felt that being fired was nothing at all.
Nothing makes people feel happier than living a plain life.
