Mysterious country

Xia Qi had come here to buy books many times before, so he was very familiar with Xinhua Bookstore, and he quickly reached the second floor.

After coming up, he found a rest room nearby and went in. He didn't know whether it was the one Zhang Xiaoshun mentioned. He had his mobile phone charger with him, and he just wanted to find a power strip to plug it in.

As the name suggests, the rest room is specially provided for bookstore employees to rest. Although it is not big, it is fully equipped with all the necessary facilities.

Xia Qi was surprised to find that there was a single bed, and the power strip was right next to the bed, just enough for him to lie on the bed and play with his mobile phone.

Xia Tianqi didn't care so much. After plugging in the mobile phone charger, he lay directly on the bed.

I tried it, but the phone still won't turn on. I don't know if it's because the power is completely exhausted, or... it's broken.

Xia Qi originally wanted to call his parents and tell them the good news that he had found a job to reassure them. Because since he graduated from junior college, his parents have been worrying about his work, which has also put a lot of pressure on him.

After all, the current employment rate and unemployment rate of college students are so high that even top students from prestigious universities cannot find a job, let alone students from ordinary universities like him.

Of course, he also prepared for the worst. If he really couldn't find a job, he would learn to be Mr. Yin Yang from his grandfather.

Regardless of whether it's a lie or not, at least you can make at least five or six hundred yuan from a simple affair, and others have to treat you like a master, so you can say whatever you want. His grandfather had always praised him as having the potential to do this business since he was a child. If his parents had not disagreed with him, he might have become famous now.

Fortunately, this terrible situation did not happen. Not only did it not happen, he also found a satisfactory job.

When he comes home in his Audi in a few days, his parents will be surprised and open their mouths from ear to ear.

"Just thinking about it makes me so happy. No, I can't tell them for the time being. I have to save it as a surprise for them."

Xia Qi had a mean smile on his face, and he made up his mind to work hard and strive to become a regular employee as soon as possible.

But one thing he had to admit was that this company was quite mysterious.

There was no information about this company on the Internet. In fact, when he thought about it carefully, he didn't remember that he had submitted a resume to them. (I can’t find any information online, so I can’t submit my resume.)

And the middle-aged man who interviewed him had no professionalism at all. Besides, no company would be so stupid as to give someone 20,000 yuan a month just to update bookstores. ?

"Is there any hidden conspiracy here?"

Thinking of this, Xia Qi shook his head vigorously, thinking that the Taoist soldiers were coming to cover up the water and the earth. If he didn't even have the courage to take risks, he might be like that for the rest of his life.

This is the reality of today's society. The brave will be starved to death and the timid will be starved to death.

"I don't want to think about it anymore, go to sleep!"

Xia Qi decided to sleep for a while first, and then go down to replace Zhang Xiaoshun. After all, it was him who requested to be on duty here at night. Of course, the middle-aged uncle did not stipulate that he could not sleep.

Just say that you are on duty at night and just open the door during the day.

He got up and locked the door of the rest room. Lying on the bed, Xia Qi curled up into a ball and fell asleep quickly.

After sleeping for who knows how long, Xia Qi was awakened by a strong urge to urinate. He subconsciously wanted to pick up his phone and check the time, but then he suddenly discovered something.

His head suddenly turned towards the door!

The door to the lounge... was opened unexpectedly!

A gap of about seven or eight centimeters was exposed, and the darkness from the outside world was constantly seeping inward.

When Qi came here in the summer, the lights in the hall outside should have been turned off by Zhang Xiaoshun, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see anything.

"Zhang Xiaoshun? Is that you?"

Xia Qi suddenly felt like being spied on, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

After waiting with bated breath for a while, Xia Xia Qi found that there was no sound coming from outside the door. This also made him breathe a sigh of relief. He got down from the bed to the ground and planned to go to the bathroom for convenience.

I just don’t know why, but the feeling of being spied on still hasn’t dissipated.

Xia Tian Qi didn't pay too much attention and continued to walk towards the door. But when he was about to reach the door, he saw the door of the rest room closed with a bang!

Then, a series of footsteps gradually receding came from outside the door.

Xia Tian Qi felt that there was nothing wrong. Someone was indeed peering at him through the crack in the door just now!

"Zhang Xiaoshun, this bastard!"

It has to be said that Xia Qi was startled by the sudden closing of the door, which also completely aroused his anger. Strictly speaking, his temper is not very good.

He and Zhang Xiaoshun were the only two people in the entire bookstore building. He was sleeping inside, so it was Zhang Xiaoshun who was just hiding behind the door and peeping.

As for why the rest room door was opened, it was probably Zhang Xiaoshun who opened it from the outside with a key. After all, he stayed here all year round, so it was not surprising that he had the keys to each rest room.

"This bastard must not want to see me sleeping comfortably here, so he f**king pretends to be a ghost to scare me!"

Xia Xia Qi spit on the ground, then opened the door of the rest room and walked out angrily.

After coming out, the environment outside was just like what he had seen through the crack in the door before, completely dark.

Because the phone could not be turned on, Xia Qi didn't even know the time now. Seeing that it was so dark outside, he hesitated and returned to the rest room, planning to search inside to see if he could find a flashlight.

After rummaging through the cabinet, Xia Qi actually found a flashlight. He tried it and found that the flashlight could be used, although it was not too bright. But in this environment, something is better than nothing. Without a flashlight, he might not even be able to find the bathroom.

Holding a flashlight, Xia Qi finally left the rest room. Not only was it dark outside, it was also extremely cold.

"This bastard Zhang Xiaoshun must have turned the air conditioner very low on purpose!"

The more Xia Qi thought about it, the angrier he became. He put aside the matter of going to the toilet for the time being, went downstairs directly through the stairwell, and returned to the first floor again.

"Zhang Xiaoshun! Are you here?"

The first floor was also pitch black. Xia Qi called Zhang Xiaoshun in a bad tone while shining his flashlight around.

"Zhang Xiaoshun! I know you are down there, don't play tricks on me, come out and speak clearly!"

Xia Qi took a flashlight and searched around the hall on the first floor, but couldn't find even half a ghost.

It can be seen that Zhang Xiaoshun is not on the first floor.

"Is it upstairs?"

Although Zhang Xiaoshun was not found on the first floor, Xia Qi did not give up. This is how he is, he must do things from beginning to end.

Returning to the second floor again, Xia Qi began to "search" the rest rooms one by one, but still found nothing.

Searching two floors in a row made Xia Qi very tired, but no matter how loudly he shouted during the process, there was no response from Zhang Xiaoshun.

It's as if Zhang Xiaoshun...isn't here!

After panting up to the third floor, Xia Qi was a little surprised to find that the flashlight in his hand started to flicker.

"Brother, you must not run out of power at this time!"

He shook it vigorously, but the flashlight still flickered, making the environment in front of him looming.

Xia Qi had not found the switch before, so once the flashlight became useless, he would immediately become "blind". So this also forced him to compromise, quickly find the bathroom for convenience, and then immediately go back to the rest room on the second floor.

The debt with Zhang Xiaoshun can only be settled until tomorrow.

With this thought in his heart, Xia Qi walked all the way into the bathroom on the third floor, and also entered the women's room in a vulgar manner.

As we all know, there is no urinal in the women's toilet, so Zhang Xiaoshun could only open a door and go in. However, as soon as he walked in, the sound of pumping came from the next room suddenly!

"Wow...!"

Hearing the sound of pumping, Xia Qi's face immediately turned green, because this meant that the women's restroom was occupied!

He quickly closed the door, then covered his mouth and squatted down without saying a word, trying to use the light of the flashlight to see if the person next door was actually a woman.

The sound of "squeaking" was still sounding. Xia Tian Qi half-crouched on the ground with great anxiety, looking at the next door through the gap below.

Then! He saw...a face that was also looking at him! ! !

"ah--!"

Xia Qi was so frightened that he screamed, not only because of the sudden appearance of that face, but also because...he had never seen that face before!

That's a man's face!

After screaming, when Xia Qi shined his flashlight again, he found that the face had disappeared, but the sound of pumping was still there.

"Who the hell is next door!"

Xia Xia Qi punched the door panel of the compartment hard. There was no doubt that he was really frightened. However, there was no response from the room next door.

After a quick convenience, he picked up his pants and Xia Qi came out of the small door. He wanted to leave quickly and go downstairs, but his body somehow came to the small door next door.

At this moment, the sound of the toilet flushing had disappeared, and the women's toilet, swallowed by darkness, was filled with deathly silence.

One thing Xia Qi is sure of is that the man inside has not left. Because his attention had been highly focused on the next room, he did not hear the sound of anyone pushing the door open and leaving.

But it's strange. If the man was still in the small door, there would be at least some sound coming out, but in fact... there was none.

Xia Qi held the flashlight tightly at this time. Although he was not as good as some big shots, he thought his fighting skills were pretty good. He had many years of practical experience from elementary school to now.

Xia Qi swallowed hard, and Xia Qi didn't care whether there was anyone inside or who they were. He directly kicked the small door.

Then...he saw a man lying inside.

The man's body was strangely stuck in the toilet, with almost only his head remaining on his body, and the smooth ground was covered with blood that had not yet dried up.

"Dead...dead...!"

Xia Qi subconsciously wanted to scream, but his reason forced him to shut up.

He remembered clearly that the sound of pumping started after he entered, and the blood on the ground had not dried yet, which showed that the murderer had just left. In other words – he’s still in the building!

Thinking that the murderer was in the same building as him, and possibly on the same floor as him, Xia Qi's whole body was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

"Could Zhang Xiaoshun have also been killed?"

Thinking that he had not found Zhang Xiaoshun, Xia Qi couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

In the process, he made an even more horrifying discovery.

He found a big bloody handprint on every bathroom door!

There were even some bloody handprints that were still dripping with blood at this moment. It was obvious that they had just been printed on them.

Xia Tian Qi ran to the door of one of the compartments, pushed open the door and took a look inside. He was immediately frightened, and saw that there was a corpse inside.

It's just that this is a female corpse.

Afterwards, Xia Xia Qi opened the small doors of several other compartments one after another, and found... that there was a bloody corpse in each compartment!
