Rebirth: Kill Through the Doomsday Game

Chapter 5 Chairman

In the dark room without lights, several people holding cell phones looked at each other.

"We can't do nothing. Let's find out if there is any information that can advance the level." Cheng Qiu pushed up his glasses, "After all, the game has a time limit."

He was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then looked at the clock that he had just thrown aside with a cold look - the game time is twelve hours, is it twelve hours in the real world, or twelve hours in the game?

Some game tasks require the player to come back to the NPC the next day. This is the time when the game settings only need to be adjusted. Fast forward to the next day, and you can continue to happily complete the task. If this is a "game", does the logic also apply?

But the other people didn't seem to notice this, and they were all looking for their own things in the office.

"Look!" Not long after, Ruan Ningning found a memo in the filing cabinet.

The owner of the office seems to be very busy. The densely packed meeting schedule is a headache for everyone. Sometimes there are a few complaints about the chairman and the company's treatment written in the blank space. The handwriting is getting more and more scrawled. The second half of the book is almost full of aggressive verbal abuses. Chairman's words.

In the last few pages, there are almost no records of work schedules, and the text has evolved into words like "I will kill you sooner or later", which shows how much this person hates the chairman.

Capitalism is so evil that if you beat a worker, you will go crazy.

"What information can be seen from this?" Yang Chengye asked.

"It can be seen that he is not just talking." Ruan Ningning poked his head out from behind the desk and held up an unopened box of sleeping pills.

"Does he really intend to kill people?" Everyone shuddered in unison. Unlike the outbreak of infected people and the chaotic end of the world, the cost of killing people in peacetime is much higher.

"That doesn't make sense. If things don't go well at work, just leave, because this murderer is too..." "Bell" said.

Cheng Qiu looked at her deeply. He didn't know how to explain this problem to these young people.

They didn't know that Gu Lingxin had stabbed the interviewer here before, and they all speculated whether the blood on the ground was a sign that the chairman had been killed.

Yang Chengye looked through the meeting itinerary again. In the intensively arranged meetings in the first few pages, the people who participated in the meeting were recorded, but there were no detailed names. They only wrote words such as Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang. However, this can also explain a problem: This is a meeting that can only be attended by senior executives of the company, so the person who wrote the memo is not an ordinary employee.

Assuming that this person has the same status as these X's, then he will most likely hold shares in the company. Even if the chairman of the board pressures him, he will not give up his position in the company easily.

So although his idea is extreme, it is high risk and high reward. If the chairman dies and the shareholders meeting re-elects the chairman, maybe he will transform from the oppressed to the chairman?
After briefly describing the stakes to the young girls, they all had the same goal: to go to the chairman's office to see if there were any new clues.

"Well, brothers, you go first. I, my stomach is not feeling well. Sister Bell, please accompany me to the bathroom." Ruan Ningning's cheeks turned slightly red and hesitantly said.

The two men nodded, both with expressions that said I understand.

You guys know shit. Ruan Ningning rolled her eyes and went out with Bell in her arms.

Cheng Qiu and Yang Chengye found the "Chairman's" office on the top floor. To be precise, the entire top floor was his office. It was spacious, bright, and spotlessly clean. The tables and chairs were brand new, and there was also a set of leather sofas as a set. The reception area is connected to a spacious rooftop filled with green plants at the back. The cool night breeze blows in from the window, which is very pleasant.

He has the entire top floor to himself, but the offices of other senior executives are just like ordinary employees. The chairman doesn't even bother to do anything to save himself.

"Let's see what useful information there is here." Cheng Qiu said to Yang Chengye, and the two of them split up and rummaged through this very large office.

Cheng Qiu didn't find anything, but he was looking at the "Compliance Management" hanging on the wall, which had simple registration information written on it.

The column "Responsible Person" is empty after that.

Before he could speak, Yang Chengye sat down on the high-end office chair belonging to the chairman: "There's nothing!"

The moment he sat down, a voice came: "I want to kill you——"

In the "Compliance Management" in front of Cheng Qiu, the "Responsible Person" column clearly stated: Yang Chengye.

The screams of the infected came from far to near. A huge infected person broke through the door. His face was ferocious, and his fangs were turned out. From his appearance alone, it was impossible to tell whether he was a human or an orangutan before he mutated. His skin showed a dull gray-black color. The whole body was burning with flames, and as soon as he entered the door, he ran in the direction of Yang Chengye.

"Run..." Cheng Qiu shouted subconsciously.

That's too late. The moment he opened his mouth, the player sitting opposite him was grabbed by the infected person's huge, steaming palm, and torn into two pieces in an instant.

It was not the interviewer's working hours, but he didn't want to wait for a moment to kill the "Chairman".

"Please wait!" He stretched out his hand, trying to change something.

A charming female voice came from the distant sky.

——"Hello player, please inquire."

At first, when I heard this voice, I felt it was charming and charming, like a charming woman singing in the sky. Now, I just feel creepy, like a female ghost seeking her life.

Cheng Qiu opened his mouth, Yang Chengye died like this? And it also attracted a fierce infected person.

But he noticed that when he asked the "rules", the infected person opposite who was grabbing one of Yang Chengye's legs and chewing it stopped. He was still when he asked about the rules.

As a result, Cheng Qiu's brain was running rapidly. While thinking about what he could do to save his life, he quickly jumped out and ran away downstairs.

About half a minute later, the female voice came again:

"The question has timed out and the game continues."

……

There were no sounds of infected people outside the fire wall. Su Heng pointed at the flames that were two to three meters high. Gu Ling understood and raised his hand. The fire wall split in the middle, allowing the outside to see.

Several charred corpses fell scattered on the ground.

Infected people are no longer in the "unable to die" state.

Gu Lingxin kicked the charred corpses on the ground a few times, and after confirming that they were indeed dead, she took out the interview registration form and took a look at it.

Interview pass rate: 60%.

They raised their heads and glanced at the dark window. Someone was dead above?

It seems that the game found Gu Lingxin, a weirdo, difficult to conquer, and in order to continue the level, it created problems for others.

"Go up and have a look?" Su Heng asked tentatively.

Gu Lingxin held the two interview materials, and a terrifying idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

If this was a completely fictional world, would the interviewer be a will-o'-the-wisp?
Is it an infected person in a state of frequent death, or a white-collar worker in the workplace before mutation?

The rules of the game were absurd and illogical. Gu Lingxin really couldn't imagine what the "interview" scene would be like.

A vague female voice sounded in the distance, as if someone was asking about the "rules", but they were too far away to hear anything clearly.

Someone asked about the rules.

The two of them looked back from the night. It seemed that the power had not been restored yet. The office building in the distance was covered with a layer of black shadow, which was comparable to the endless abyss.
