NOVEL WEB Chapter 41 - The Little Girl Packed with BUFFs! Express Delivery
Upon seeing the contents on this page, He Gu froze completely.
At the same time, a mechanical voice echoed in He Gu’s mind: “Instance: 【Mountain Herb Factory】 loaded!”
But He Gu had no mood to pay attention to this notification anymore.
At this moment, He Gu was staring fixedly at the rules in his hand.
Rule number 3: If you see anyone wearing red clothing within the factory premises, immediately press the Red Button on the Intercom, then stand with your back against the wall until they leave;
Rule number 4: Please remember, there are no children in the factory;
Rule number 8: The Employee Dormitory only has 4 floors, please remember this;
……
A little girl… in a red dress… living upstairs!
He Gu never dreamed that he would run into a little girl with her “BUFF” nearly completely stacked!
In that moment, cold sweat ran down He Gu’s spine.
Snapping back to reality, He Gu jumped up from the bed as if electrified, hastily pressing his back tight against the wall.
Only then did He Gu carefully peek towards the direction of the bathroom.
The bathroom door was closed, and there was no sound from inside.
Considering the little girl had been inside for a while and still hadn’t come out, something felt very wrong!
No, the existence of the little girl was wrong in itself!
Thinking about the content of the rules and then the little girl, the more He Gu thought, the more his scalp tingled.
Probably because the situation was too sudden and frantic, He Gu stood tightly against the wall for a while before remembering that the rule mentioned pressing the Red Button on the Intercom when seeing someone in red.
He Gu took a quick glance. He had tossed the Intercom casually onto the bed earlier, and now he couldn’t quite reach it while still pressed against the wall.
Hesitating slightly, He Gu took a quick glance towards the direction of the bathroom.
Seeing no movement there, he bent down to pick up the Intercom from the bed as quickly as he could, then quickly turned back to press tight against the wall before firmly pressing the Red Button on the Intercom.
“Shh shh…”
The Intercom emitted several sounds of electric current, then fell silent.
He Gu held the Intercom in his hand, his back pressing tightly against the wall, anxiously watching the direction of the bathroom.
Time passed second by second.
Apart from a few sounds of electric currents that came from the Intercom right after He Gu pressed the Red Button, there was no other sound.
The dormitory was utterly quiet, as if time had stopped. He Gu could hear his own heartbeat.
……
Not knowing how much time had passed, He Gu’s legs were about to go numb, yet the little girl still hadn’t come out.
Continuing to wait like this was not a solution.
After much hesitation, He Gu plucked up his courage and called towards the direction of the bathroom, “Little friend, are you done using the restroom?”
The room was deathly silent, with no response.
He Gu waited for a while, then tentatively called out again, “Little friend? Little friend?”
Still no response. The surrounding silence was somewhat terrifying.
This bizarre silence made He Gu feel a bit oppressed.
After waiting for a while longer, He Gu couldn’t stand it anymore. With his back against the wall, he slowly shuffled his feet towards the direction of the bathroom.
It took over a minute for He Gu to rub half of the walls in the room with his back and finally reach a position near the bathroom door.
“Little friend, are you still in there?”
He Gu tentatively called out.
After waiting for a few seconds without any response, He Gu gathered his courage and pushed the bathroom door.
Creak–
The door hinge made a teeth-grating noise as the bathroom door was pushed open.
The bathroom, which was only a little over one square meter in size, was empty. There was no sign of the little girl.
Seeing this scene, He Gu took a long sigh of relief.
She’s gone…
However, upon further thought, He Gu felt a chill on his back.
He had just watched the little girl enter the bathroom, but she had mysteriously disappeared.
Wouldn’t it be terrifying if the girl suddenly came out of the bathroom while he was sleeping?
Thinking about it gave him the creeps!
After pushing the bathroom door open, He Gu waited for a while, leaning against the wall. Once he confirmed there were no problems, he carefully walked away from the wall.
By then, it was already getting dark outside. Unbeknownst to him, the sun had already set, and the sky was gray.
He Gu took out his phone to check the time and realized it was already 19:03.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, He Gu turned and walked to the door to switch on the light.
The incandescent light on the ceiling flickered a few times before it lit up. The light wasn’t strong, but it was barely enough to illuminate the whole room.
At this moment, the intercom in He Gu’s hand suddenly buzzed.
“Shasha…444…Shasha…444”
“444, please respond if you hear this…shasha…”
In such a quiet environment, the sudden noise gave He Gu a start.
444 was He Gu’s code number.
Taking a deep breath to adjust his emotions, He Gu pressed the black button on the intercom and said, “This is 444.”
Very soon, the voice responded, “444, shasha…I am your supervisor, 411…shasha…”
HR A21 had said that He Gu’s supervisor would contact him later.
He Gu initially thought it would be a phone call but didn’t expect it to be through the intercom.
“Hello, Supervisor, what can I do for you?”
“Shasha…444, come to the 4th canteen now for dinner, we will meet and talk.”
Upon mentioning dinner, He Gu remembered he hadn’t eaten for an entire day and was indeed hungry.
“Understood, Supervisor. I’ll be there right away.”
After speaking, He Gu put down the intercom and picked up the green work uniform from a storage box to change into.
After changing, He Gu thought for a moment, pinned the intercom to his chest, put the white pill bottle and two sausages into his pocket, and then looked at the employee handbook to find the location of the 4th canteen.
After finishing these tasks, He Gu turned off the light and prepared to leave.
However, as soon as he opened the door, He Gu saw a figure standing right outside his door.
“Whoa—crap!”
As He Gu had turned off the light in his room and the corridor lights were not on, everything was dark. He was scared stiff by the silhouette.
After a startled yelp, He Gu quickly reached to turn on the room light.
However, the old incandescent light had to flicker twice before it fully lit up, almost cursing in frustration.
Once the light was on, He Gu finally saw the figure at the door clearly.
It was a middle-aged woman dressed in the same green work uniform as He Gu. She was also looking at He Gu with a face full of fear, seemingly frightened by his earlier yelp.
Their eyes met, both faces showing a mix of panic and confusion.
A few seconds later, the woman finally came to her senses, “What’s the matter with you, young man? You scared me half to death!”
He Gu awkwardly laughed, “I was also scared by you.”
The woman rolled her eyes, took out a box, and handed it to He Gu, “You’re He Gu, right? There’s an express delivery for you at the guard room!”
Upon hearing this, He Gu was taken aback. He was about to nod and admit it, but his mouth froze just as he was about to open it.
Rule number 5: Everyone in the factory area is known by their code number. Do not speak your own name. If you hear someone calling your name, do not respond;
And under the effect of the “Eyes of Delusion Breaking,” He Gu knew that this was an Instant Death Rule!
If He Gu were to admit it, he would drop dead immediately!
