However, when they saw her level, even if they used their toes to think, they could imagine that Li Gushu’s ranking was at least in the top 200 of the overall ranking.
At the same time, they saw that Hei Chunhua’s level was almost the same as Li Gushu’s.
With two people whose levels were higher than Zhong Xuan’s in the copy, they suppressed their fear of seeing Zhong Xuan.
[There are actually three high rankers in this copy.]
[Awesome.]
[Other than Li Gushu and Zhong Xuan, who is the other Level 58 person?]
[He didn’t turn on his camera, so I don’t know.]
[His face looks so strange. I’ve looked at him a few times, but I still can’t remember what he looks like.]
[Zhong Xuan is actually here. I thought he was going to forcefully submit his resume to meet Bai Qiuye.]
[Don’t call her Bai Qiuye. Is there anyone named Bai Qiuye at the bottom of the rankings?]
[Bai Qiuye is definitely just a fake name. Zhong Xuan won’t be able to find her.]
[I heard that after Mo Jie’s copy, he received a compensation reward. There was an experience bag to increase his level. Maybe Bai Qiuye has already used the experience bag to level up. Coupled with the fact that she used a fake name, of course, he wouldn’t be able to find her.]
The live broadcast room of the beautiful apartment copy had just begun, and the audience poured into the public channel one after another.
The occupation of this copy was a night watchman, which was a relatively common occupation.
This occupation had already appeared in many copies. Although it was ordinary, it was like a key question type drawn by a teacher before the college entrance examination.
It was common, but necessary.
Especially with the big shots around, they could learn a lot through the live broadcast.
Therefore, the number of people who came to watch was even more than when Bai Qiuye’s first copy started the live broadcast.
Inside the damp room, 12 people were standing.
They all guessed that those clean chairs were previously occupied by the night watchmen.
Hei Chunhua suddenly went to the door and opened it.
Two middle-aged women carrying vegetable baskets were eavesdropping on the door.
When Hei Chunhua opened the door, they lost their footing and almost fell into Hei Chunhua’s arms.
However, the two of them exerted strength on their toes and grabbed onto the door frame, trying their best to maintain their balance. They would rather drop the vegetable baskets in their hands than take a step into the room.
Hei Chunhua asked: “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing, nothing.” The two women didn’t dare to look at him. They didn’t even pick up the vegetable baskets on the ground and ran upstairs.
“I thought it was an employer, but it turned out to be an ordinary NPC.” Zeng Xianqing said.
“They seem to be very afraid of this room.” Zeng Xianqing’s husband said, “Maybe someone died here?”
Bai Qiuye said in surprise: “Isn’t it normal for someone to die?”
They had clearly entered a copy filled with ghosts, but every time someone would always say a few boring lines like those in horror movies.
Zeng Xianqing’s husband: “…”
Hei Chunhua suddenly laughed: “You’re really interesting.”
Bai Qiuye: “Not as interesting as you.”
Hei Chunhua: “…”
“It’s almost time.” Li Gushu looked at the increasingly dark courtyard and said, “Employer …”
A man with glasses who looked like a bamboo pole came to the door.
He wore a light blue security uniform and counted the number of people: “Twelve in total, okay.”
Li Gushu asked: “You’re the person in charge?”
“Yes, yes, just call me Ah Long.” Bamboo pole said, “Our job, there’s more money, less pressure. It’s a wise choice for you guys to apply for the job.”
A player said: “We heard the man on duty say that there’s an interview.”
Ah Long said: “You all passed the interview.”
Zhong Xuan asked: “Passed? When? ”
Ah Long said: “Actually, our house is quite particular. It mainly depends on whether you fit in with the atmosphere here.”
Ah Long suddenly asked: “Right, you know what happened a few days ago, right?”
Bai Qiuye remembered the contents of the newspaper, but she didn’t say anything.
Hei Chunhua and Li Gushu did not speak either.
The others also shook their heads.
“Before you, there was also a night watchman. He drank too much in the middle of the night and climbed onto the water tank to look at the fish. In the end, he accidentally fell in and drowned.” Ah Long said, “The police investigation report also proved that it was an accident, but the tabloids outside made a lot of noise, making the people in this area panic. That’s why the apartment added more people.”
Ah Long only told them about the drowning incident and did not mention that there were several missing persons cases in the beautiful apartment.
As he spoke, he handed over a few bound contracts to them.
“Without further ado. Let’s sign and start working.”
Bai Qiuye took a look. The first clause of the contract actually stated that they were responsible for their own lives.
She continued to read the contract, and the word “scam” was written clearly in the body of the contract.
They knew that if they didn’t sign the contract, they wouldn’t be able to leave the copy.
Ah Long saw that they were very cooperative, and felt pleased as if he was looking at an honest prisoner.
After signing, Li Gushu asked, “What’s the content of our work?”
“Today is your first night at work, so there’s nothing much to do.” Ah Long said, “It’s just that it hasn’t been peaceful recently, so we found a master to perform rituals to ward off the disaster. He’ll be performing a ritual in the building tonight.”
“But there’s a taboo. When he’s performing rituals, he doesn’t like to be disturbed by strangers.” Ah Long said, “So you have to inform the residents in the building one by one to not go out after 11pm.”
Ah Long gave a stack of notices printed on white paper to Bai Qiuye and the others.
“There are many residents in the beautiful apartment. The three of you will be in a group, and each of you will be responsible for your own area.” Ah Long said as he read out their names and divided them into groups.
Bai Qiuye, Hei Chunhua, and Li Gushu had already teamed up because of the recruitment advertisement, so they were naturally in a group.
Zeng Xianqing and her husband were in a group with Zhong Xuan.
The remaining six people were in a group of three.
“You have to go door to door.” Ah Long said, “Remember, you have to inform every family. Don’t miss anyone.”
Just as he finished speaking, Bai Qiuye and the others all received a mission notification.
[First Task
Working hours –
Work matter: Notify residents.
Work contact: Ah Long. Ah Long will usually be in the duty room on the ground floor.
Work Reward: 10 Survival Coupons.
Punishment for Absenteeism: Serious Discipline, 100 Survival Coupons deducted, mandatory disqualification from the second job. The upper limit of this job rating is reduced to 60 points.
Work Progress: 0/2]
[This work is done in groups, and group completion is counted. Work results cannot be shared between groups.]
Bai Qiuye looked at the number of households her group was responsible for. There were a total of 90 households.
The three of them split up to work. Excluding the empty houses, it would take at least three hours to notify all the residents.
They had to race against time, or they might not be able to complete the task.
Ah Long said, “Since you all understand, hurry up and get to work.”
He was about to leave when Bai Qiuye suddenly stopped him.
Bai Qiuye said, “Brother Long, shouldn’t we change into the night watchman uniform? Or do you have any work passes prepared for us?”
They only had a notice that was so thin that it was almost transparent. In front of the residents who were already disappointed with the security work, it had no credibility at all.
Ah Long’s face stiffened, then he took out a stack of work passes from his pocket, “I forgot, take it.”
The others also saw that he didn’t forget, but did it on purpose.
From the beginning, this Ah Long didn’t take a single step into the room.
He and the man in the duty room knew the inside story.
Including the residents of this building, they should more or less know the secret.
There must be something special about this room for them to avoid it like this.
Bai Qiuye’s group were to notify all the residents on the first floor of building A’s unit.
Bai Qiuye was responsible for the first to third floors. The remaining six floors were taken care of by the other two.
Bai Qiuye was very resistant to working alone in an unfamiliar instance.
But she understood that Li Gushu and Hei Chunhua had already left the safest floor for her.
She walked to the door of the first floor’s shops. It was clearly the busiest time of the night, 8 PM, but none of the shops were open.
Bai Qiuye could only slip the notice in through the gap under the shutter door.
From the second floor onwards, there were all residents.
There were a total of ten households on each side.
Bai Qiuye found that on each door, there were all kinds of talismans or statues to ward off evil spirits.
These things should make people feel safe, but in the cold limestone colored corridor, it seemed even more eerie.
Bai Qiuye knocked on the iron door of the first house, after a while, footsteps came from inside, but the sound stopped after reaching the door.
Bai Qiuye thought it was strange, so she knocked again: “Is there anyone home?”
She clearly felt that there was someone inside, but that person didn’t speak to her.
Bai Qiuye also felt more than one gaze focused on her, these gazes came from all the rooms in the corridor.
Many people were looking at her through the peephole.
In the first room, a woman was leaning against the door, one hand on the door handle, her eyes looking through the peephole, motionlessly looking at Bai Qiuye.
Suddenly, she saw a four-headed ghost baby crawling on Bai Qiuye’s shoulder.
She was shocked, and accidentally pressed the door handle down.
Bai Qiuye was just about to slip the notice under the door, when the door opened.
Bai Qiuye stood up and handed the notice to the woman in the room: “Thank you for cooperating with our work, thank you very much!”
The woman was so scared that her face turned pale, and she didn’t dare to say anything.
Bai Qiuye continued: “Pay attention to the notice. Do not go out at eleven o’clock tonight.”
As soon as her voice fell, the four-headed ghost baby on her shoulder grinned at the same time.
The woman nodded desperately, indicating that she understood.
Bai Qiuye reminded her again, then turned and went to the second house.
As soon as she left, the door behind her closed with lightning speed.
Bai Qiuye was shocked by the sound of the door closing, she patted her frightened little heart, and raised her hand to knock on the second house.
However, before her hand could touch the door, the door opened with a bang.
A man with a livid face came out of the door, he reached out and grabbed the notice in Bai Qiuye’s hand: “I know, I know, I definitely won’t go out at eleven o’clock.”
After saying that, he slammed the door.
Bai Qiuye looked at the door coming closer and closer, finally stopping at the tip of her nose. She was confused for a moment.
“Why are these residents suddenly taking the initiative?”
Bai Qiuye felt that something was wrong, she was about to choose a lucky resident to ask.
When she came to the third house, she didn’t expect that the third house’s door was already open.
The middle-aged woman standing at the door was one of the people who had been eavesdropping on them on the first floor.
“It’s eleven o’clock at night, right? I’ll definitely cooperate.” The woman’s cheeks rose as she forced a smile.
“Why are you suddenly so cooperative?” Bai Qiuye asked, “You clearly didn’t welcome us before.”
The woman said: “I have no problem with… with you, we acted like that mainly because we didn’t trust Ah Long.”
Bai Qiuye asked: “Is there something wrong with Ah Long’s character?”
“I’m not talking about his character.” The woman said: “You know about that incident, right? A night watchman died in a fish tank.”
She looked at Bai Qiuye who nodded, then continued: “How can a person fall into a fish tank for no reason? And after this incident, Ah Long immediately went to the master and put up a few talismans on the first floor. There’s definitely something fishy, but no matter how much we ask him, he won’t tell us.”
As they were talking, the door of room four opened.
Bai Qiuye turned around and saw that it was the other woman on the first floor.
She said: “Yes, the management is really bad. We’ve complained many times, but Ah Long ignored us. He keeps putting all kinds of shady things in the apartment.”
Bai Qiuye asked: “Shady things?”
The woman looked around and said in a low voice: “For example, this person upstairs. Every night, I can hear many people walking upstairs. But he moved in alone.”
The other woman quickly said: “Yes, yes, that guy moved in last month. He basically doesn’t go out. I’ll occasionally see him when I’m taking out the trash, and every time I see him covered in dirt.”
Bai Qiuye heard this and said seriously: “Is he a potter?”
The two women: “…”
One of them said: “Haven’t you heard of that saying?”
Bai Qiuye asked: “Which one?”
The woman said: “Putting corpses into the soil to refine them… I suspect that he’s doing this kind of immoral thing.”
Bai Qiuye: “… Do you have any evidence?”
The woman said: “Not only is he covered in dirt, every time I touch him, I can smell the stench of corpses.”
Bai Qiuye’s expression changed drastically.
In her job, she had to knock on every door.
She would have to look for this man later.
