bathroom.

Luo Xi widened his eyes and listened attentively to a buddy humming "To Alice" in the next cubicle, wondering who could be so bored.

But just as he was about to get up, the guy next to him who had been humming for at least two minutes stopped.

“Is this the end?”

After a brief silence, there was a sudden "dong dong dong" sound coming from the wooden partition of the toilet next door, as if someone was constantly tapping the partition board with his fingers.

Luo Xi was stunned.

Is this out of paper?
If I want to borrow paper, should I lend it to him?
The knocking sound is very rhythmic.

But it soon stopped, and then someone spoke in a low voice.

"6420664206"

The voice was very low.

It's like I'm afraid others will hear it.

"I've met a psychopath."

Luo Xi immediately stood up, pushed the door and walked out.

The movements are done in one go.

He had read in the news before, saying that there was a mentally ill person on the street who grabbed a large piece of poop in his hand and threw it at passers-by. Some unlucky people were hit directly on their bodies, and some even more unlucky had it hit on their faces. There was no place to seek justice, and they could not beat or scold him. Even if the police came, they could only find a way to send the person home.

Can't afford to offend, can afford to hide.

"Repetition, 6420664206 This world is false repetition, this world is false."

"64206 Cocoon Breaking Plan activated!"

The psychopath's voice continued to be heard from the partition over there, and it gradually became louder and more rapid.

But after saying the last word 'activate', there was suddenly no movement.

Luo Xi was washing his hands in the sink, his eyes always looking at the toilet partition, fearing that the person inside would suddenly rush out.

"That's not right. This is a company. Where did this psychopath come from?"

At this time he turned off the faucet, and the bathroom fell into silence.

Luo Xi stared at the partition in confusion, and suddenly he found that the lock mark on the door panel was 'green', not locked, and the door was obviously ajar.

Curiosity arose, so I squatted down and took a look from a different angle.

He was stunned.

Then he walked over quickly and pushed open the partition door.

The tiles were bright and shiny, but there was no one inside.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xi didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, he scratched his head and sighed, as if it was commonplace.

"I'm sick again. I need to take medicine quickly."

Luo Xi was holding an empty medicine bottle without any label, with a confused expression.

"When did you finish eating? I remember there were a few slices left."

Can't remember.

"Hi~hoo~"

Taking a deep breath, Luo Xi rubbed his face with his hands.

"Skipping a meal is not a big problem. Occasional hallucinations and delusions are not a big problem. If I don't tell anyone, who would know that I am mentally ill?"

He is an optimistic person.

Mainly the medicines for treating diseases can only be obtained from home. They are all prescribed by my mother from designated hospitals and cannot be bought anywhere else.

"Let's talk after work."

Luo Xi took a sip of water and felt much better than before.

At this moment, he was wearing a special headset for customer service staff and sitting in a small work partition. On the table in the partition, in addition to a computer monitor, mouse and keyboard, there were some commonly used office supplies, and notebooks and pens were neatly placed on one side, straight and meticulous.

There are various sticky notes on both sides of the partition, some of which contain precautions and reminders. The labels are positioned parallel to each other, without any deviation.

Standard customer service station.

The computer date shows that today is July 29th, Monday.

This is a customer service outsourcing company that is responsible for the telephone customer service business of several e-commerce platforms. Luo Xi joined the company a year ago as a customer service staff. His basic salary is 2,000 yuan and his performance bonus is 2,200 yuan. He also receives allowances and overtime bonuses. Like everyone else, he lives a simple and hard-working life as a worker.

Simple but very 'fulfilling', it may seem busy and boring, but it is actually quite boring.

If it weren't for a salary that could keep them from starving, who would be stuck in such a small workstation answering the phone in their prime years?

Luo Xi's fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, as if a pianist was playing "Flight of the Bumblebee". He logged into his work number skillfully and signed into the call center system. Soon, the first call came in. It was a call from a customer who had a problem shopping at an e-commerce company.

"Hey, I want to complain. The refrigerator I bought stopped cooling after just a few days of use. What the hell is the quality of this!

Luo Xi said soothing words in a formulaic manner with an expressionless face, then swayed back and forth with his legs crossed.

People who sit for a long time know that if you sit for a long time, your legs will feel uncomfortable and you will always want to shake them or cross your legs.

At this moment, Luo Xi was crossing his legs and shaking them, and then he accidentally kicked off the network cable in the workstation under his feet.

This kind of thing rarely happens, but it does happen. The problem is that the person who designed the workstation was so stupid that he actually designed the network cable socket in a position where it can be kicked by raising his foot.

Luo Xi looked down, reached out to pick up the broken network cable, and at the same time listened to the woman's incessant complaints in the headphones. Suddenly, his expression froze.

"The network cable is disconnected, why is the call not disconnected?"

The calls here are accessed through the Internet. Luo Xi naturally knows this since he has been here for such a long time, but what is going on now?

Holding the broken network cable interface in my hand and listening to the complaining voice in the headphones, I felt a little dazed for a moment.

"I have to take medicine quickly!"

Luo Xi is sick.

The diagnosis from the authoritative hospital was severe schizophrenia, paranoid mental disorder, delusions, and auditory and visual hallucinations.
He forgot when he got the disease, but he had to rely on drugs to suppress it, otherwise he would have symptoms of auditory and visual hallucinations. For example, Luo Xi at this moment went to the water room to get water, and the water in the water dispenser had turned into bright red blood at some point, which was fishy and stinking. The computer of the female customer service at the next workstation was clearly not plugged in, but she was busy in front of the screen. In the innermost cabinet in the locker room, there would be a harsh sound of nails scratching the metal door. When he looked in the mirror, the 'self' in the mirror would curse at him.
Luo Xi pretended not to see or hear anything and was used to any such abnormal things.

But it’s not a good idea to keep doing this.

He immediately found the on-duty supervisor Liu Mao.

"Brother Mao, I need to take some time off!"

"What's wrong? It's peak traffic time right now. No one in our group can leave. We have to maintain the connection rate target."

"No, I'm feeling a little sick. I forgot to bring my medicine when I went out, so I have to go home and get it!"

"What's wrong? Why don't I know?"

"Old problem, uh, stomachache, stomach medicine." Luo Xi lied.

After all, mental illness is not a good disease. He didn't tell anyone at work, and there were no labels on the medicine bottles he brought, for fear that someone would notice something.

This thing can easily lead to discrimination.

Luo Xi is also a person who cares about his reputation.

"You have a stomachache? It's okay. I have the same problem. I have medicine with me. I'll give you two tablets. These are imported medicines with good effects."

"."

"Well, go back to your workstation first. I'll get you some medicine. Take a rest and then sign in to the system. The call volume is high right now. If you fail to meet the target, not only you, but my performance salary will also be deducted."

After saying that, he patted Luo Xi's shoulder and turned to get the medicine.

"Hey~"

Luo Xi sat back at his workstation with a dizzy head, took a deep breath, pressed his face hard again, and then slapped it very hard.

After waiting for a while, Liu Mao did not come to deliver the medicine.

Luo Xi shook his head, thinking that he should just ignore those weird things, so he put on his headphones and continued to deal with the clients.

It seems that everything is back to normal.

At this time, the cell phone vibrated. Luo Xi set his system login status to away temporarily. He looked at the phone and saw that it was his mother calling.

Get up and go to the corridor to answer the call.

"Son, did you forget to bring the medicine that I prepared for you this morning? Why are you so troublesome? Do you have no medicine?" My mother's voice was full of energy.

"It's okay. At most I'll just skip a couple of meals. It won't be a big deal." Luo Xi always reports good news but not bad news. He doesn't want to let his mother worry.

"Son, I don't know you yet. You didn't tell me you were not feeling well. Don't worry, I'll find a takeaway boy to deliver it to you. You kid, didn't you see anything strange?"

"No, don't worry, Mom. I had another pill and I took it. I was just worried that I would run out of it at noon." This was a white lie. He was afraid that his mother would worry, and even more afraid that she would nag endlessly.

"Okay, be careful and remember to answer the courier's call!"

After a lot of chatter, he hung up the phone.

I feel relieved now.

After a while, the courier called and a spirited young man delivered the medicine directly to the door. Luo Xi went to get the medicine, but he didn't have time to take it because the dizzy feeling he had originally felt disappeared and he didn't see any hallucinations anymore. It seemed that it was okay not to take the medicine for the time being.

"Then eat during the lunch break."

Morning, ten o'clock sharp.

"Where's Mao?"

The female colleague next to him, who was wearing a white shirt and work clothes, came over and asked Luo Xi.

Her name is Wu Rui, and she is also a customer service operator.

"I don't know. Do you have something to do with him?" Luo Xi shook his head, thinking that the guy was a liar. He said he wanted stomach medicine but disappeared without a trace.

Very unreliable.

"Yes, there is something. I want to ask him for leave." Wu Rui looks very sweet, the kind of petite and cute type, with big eyes that seem to speak. She also knows how to put on makeup and dress up. She has no shortage of suitors in the company.

"Ask for leave? Haha, I guess it's uncertain."

Before Luo Xi could finish his words, a scream suddenly came from the locker room.

The voice was shrill.

"problem occurs?"

"what happened?"

Someone ran over immediately, and Luo Xi followed them. At this time, there were several people gathered at the door of the men's locker room, all looking inside with horror.

Luo Xi and Wu Rui also squeezed over to take a look.

The floor of the men's locker room was now covered in blood. Following the bloodstains, I discovered that blood was oozing out from the innermost cabinet.

"I just came in to change clothes and found blood all over the floor. I was scared to death." The speaker was Gao Shengjie, who, like Luo Xi, was one of the very few male employees here and a rather feminine man.

It is said that he has been working here for four years. Privately, others say that Lao Gao was influenced by the many female magnetic fields here, which is why he became effeminate.

However, in Luo Xi's opinion, the other party's effeminacy is innate and has nothing to do with the environment.

The next moment, Gao Shengjie widened his eyes and pointed at the innermost locker, his eyeballs looked like they were about to pop out.

A creak!
The locker door that was oozing blood was actually slowly opening at this moment.

Then everyone saw that the small closet was almost filled with flesh and blood. It was a person who had been folded and forcibly stuffed in. One could even clearly see the broken limbs and broken bones sticking out of the skin.

Everyone who saw this scene was terrified.

stunned.

"Yes, it's Maomao brother."

"What's going on?"

The bloody man in the locker was Liu Mao. At this moment, something extremely horrible happened.

Liu Mao, who was obviously a dead body in the closet, suddenly opened his eyes with hatred in his eyes. He reached out and grabbed the edge of the closet and began to crawl out.

It is no exaggeration to say that this scene was like a sharp blade, which easily cut off everyone's rationality and completely released the fear in everyone's heart.

Only one person reacted differently from the others.

Luo Xi.

At this time, he was not afraid.

Because in his opinion, this was just an illusion caused by him not taking his medicine, and this kind of thing happened frequently in the past.

"I should have taken the medicine earlier." He looked at Liu Mao, whose limbs were twisted and covered in blood, crawling out of the closet with a calm expression, then shook his head and sighed.

Liu Mao, who crawled out of the cabinet, was covered in blood, his limbs were twisted, his eyes were wide open, revealing an unspeakable resentment.

The next moment, he jumped over.

Screams rang out one after another, and people fled in all directions like crazy, away from the locker room. At this moment, Brother Mao was like a flood and a beast.

The timid ones collapsed on the ground, calling for their mothers, with their crotches wet.

Luo Xi was dragged away by Wu Rui.

"What are you standing there for? Are you scared? Run!"

The woman pulled Luo Xi and ran quickly.

The work area was in complete chaos.

"Damn it, why can't the door be opened?"

The work area on this floor was in chaos. Some people wanted to escape, but found that the door could not be opened.

It seems to be locked.

There is an entrance and exit to the east and west of the work area, with an electronic lock that can only be opened by swiping a card, but it doesn't work now.

Locked by the system.

"Oh my god!" A customer service girl was so nervous that she spoke in her hometown dialect. She cried and banged on the door like crazy, but it was a fire door and could not be opened at all.

The glass is all explosion-proof and thickened.

Looking back, Brother Mao had already rushed out of the locker room, and actually climbed up the wall to the ceiling. The blood was dripping down like rain. The next moment, he pounced on the nearest person and twisted the person's neck 180 degrees. The sound of broken cervical vertebrae reached everyone's ears, arousing fear in their hearts and drowning out reason.

When you encounter this scene, no matter how brave you are, it will be useless.

"If the door can't be opened, then jump out of the window!"

"Fuck you, this is the 23rd floor."

"Wow, wow, I'm not married yet, I don't want to die."

"Hide, hide quickly, call the police!"

"Woo woo, help! Brother Mao is crawling over here."

Wu Rui pulled Luo Xi and hid under the partition of the innermost workstation in the front row.

"Hide in here!"

Luo Xi looked at Wu Rui strangely.

He had been feeling strange since just now.

"No, Miss Wu, are you sick too?"

Luo Xi looked at Wu Rui expectantly.

"."

"No, it's not just you. Others seem to be wrong too. It's impossible for everyone to be sick at the same time. This is strange. Can they all see it? I can't figure it out."

Luo Xi suddenly realized that this didn't seem to be an illusion.

If so, why did the others also act like they saw a ghost? Could it be that the others also saw Brother Mao, who was covered in blood and had broken bones but was still crawling on the ground like a spider, like a ghost?
Isn't this an illusion that only I can see?
"Maybe the situation will get better after taking the medicine."

That's when.

pat!

A drop of blood fell on Luo Xi's hand.

He looked up and saw Brother Mao, his face covered in blood, leaning down from the table above and looking at him with an extremely weird smile.
