Chapter 8 Shrouded in darkness
Hearing that Xia Qi had questions to ask them, the three newcomers were very cooperative and stopped in place without moving any further.
Seeing that the new people were very cooperative, Xia Qi didn't waste any time and asked straight to the point:
"Do you know anything about this company? In other words, how much do you know about the company you work for?"
"What do you mean?" The three of them were a little confused after hearing this:
"Can you be more specific?"
"I mean, how much do you know about the company that is applying for your job? Do you know what the company does and why it hired you?"
Xia Xia Qi repeated what he meant.
"This... I'm really not sure."
The three newcomers understood Xia Qi's meaning this time, but they had no idea about what he asked.
"Um...Mr. Xia, do you know anything about this company?" the newcomer, who spoke in a effeminate manner, asked.
Xia Qi glanced at the sissy, but did not answer his question, but continued to ask them:
"Is the person interviewing you the middle-aged uncle who sent you here not long ago?"
"Yes, it's him. He looks fierce." The three newcomers nodded affirmatively after hearing this.
"Then what's your salary?" Xia Qi finished and added:
"My probation period salary is 20,000, and I was also given an Audi. What about you?"
"I'm the same number as you."
"Me too."
"me too."
The answers of the three people were once again surprisingly consistent, which shows that everyone's probation period treatment is the same.
After confirming this, Xia Qi pondered for a while, and then continued to ask:
"During your interview and on the way here, did the middle-aged man say anything to you? For example, about how long it will take to become a full-time employee, or why you have to come here for a trial job, and what is the basic situation of this company? of……?"
Next, Xia Qi asked the three newcomers in detail and learned their names.
The man who speaks effeminately is called Feng Wei. The other two women, the one with a soft-sounding voice was named Wang Yazhi, and the other one with a cold voice was named Zhao Shuang.
However, apart from these accidents, he did not obtain any valuable information.
In other words, these three newcomers, like themselves, were ignorant of the company's situation.
The reason why I signed the labor contract readily and agreed to work here was because of the attractive salary package. So even if you think it’s not reliable, you’re still willing to take some risks and give it a try.
Of course, when they came here, they also said hello to their families or friends, so they were not afraid of any tricks the company would play.
When he learned the reason why the three newcomers signed the contract, Xia Qi was somewhat dumbfounded, because he thought so at the time. But at the moment, only he knows what this seemingly attractive salary package means and what will happen tonight.
Lowering his head and meditating quietly for a while, Xia Qi gritted his teeth hard and decided to tell the truth he learned.
He did this not because of how kind and upright he is, but because he simply felt that it was better for four people to bear this kind of thing than for him to bear it alone. Although he was not sure whether the three newcomers would believe such an incredible thing, after all, they had not experienced it yet.
After making up his mind, Xia Qi raised his head and said to the three people very seriously:
"Let me give you a vaccination first. Even though what I say next may sound like nonsense or telling you a ghost story, in fact, I am serious. What I will say next Everything is factual and comes from my personal experience.
So you must trust me, otherwise something may happen. "
"Why don't you say it so horribly that I won't even dare to listen?" Wang Yazhi said with some fear after hearing this.
"Yeah, I was so scared that the hairs on my hair stood on end."
Sissy and Zhao Shuang also echoed a few words at this time, especially the sissy named Feng Wei. After speaking, he uneasily shined a flashlight behind him.
Seeing the three people looking like they were listening to ghost stories, Xia Qi couldn't help curling his lips and emphasized:
"I'll say it again, I'm very serious!" After saying that, Xia Qi Ze said in a more serious tone:
“The company we signed is actually an extremely evil, extremely sinister, and in short, a rubbish and scammer company. They use high salary and high benefits as bait to lure us into taking the bait.
Once we sign a contract with them, we have to obey their arrangements and orders.
Just like us now, we were specially arranged by the company to try our jobs here. "
"It's okay to come here to try out the job, isn't it? I'm just staying here at night to work on duty!" Sissy interrupted Xia Qi again and said disapprovingly.
Xia Tian Qi gave Sissy a cold look, and then said in a more serious tone:
"If there is nothing here, then it is okay to stay here on duty at night, but the question is, do you know what is here?"
"What's there?" Zhao Shuang asked at this time.
"There is a ghost! An evil ghost who likes to kill people!"
Xia Xia Qi almost yelled these words. In fact, the more he said it, the more frightened he became.
But he had already talked about this, no matter how afraid he was, he had to go on:
"This company is very mysterious. Once we sign a work contract with it, it will assign us to haunted places.
Like this bookstore that is only haunted at night!
If we don't go or choose to escape, we will encounter the haunting and revenge of the evil spirits until they kill us...! "
In order to make the three newcomers more aware of their situation so that they can better help each other, Xia Qi did not hide anything from the three newcomers.
He told almost all the weird or terrifying experiences he had in the past two days. But what he never expected was that the three newcomers didn't believe him at all.
"Can I say that you are really good at making up things? This ghost story is indeed quite scary."
Although Zhao Shuang hugged his shoulders in fear, he didn't believe it at all.
Zhao Shuang was the first to start, and the sissy who didn't trust him very much at first also asked after finishing the attack:
"What evidence do you have that what you say is true?"
"If I could summon the evil ghost, we would all be dead!"
Xia Qi felt that the sissy was a fool, so he ignored him and asked Wang Yazhi and Zhao Shuang:
"You don't believe it either?"
"I don't believe it..." Seeing that Xia Qi was a little angry, Wang Yazhi said softly:
"It's just a little strange. Since everything you said is true and it's so dangerous here, why do you want to come back?"
"As I said just now, you can only survive by following the company's arrangements and returning to work here. Otherwise, escaping or staying at home will be a dead end."
Xia Xia Qi took the trouble to emphasize it again.
"I don't think what he said is a lie..." Wang Yazhi somewhat believed Xia Qi and couldn't help but said to Zhao Shuang, but was interrupted by the sissy:
"I think we should split up and find the light switch. It's really damn dark in here."
How could Xia Qi not know that the sissy said that on purpose, so he firmly denied it:
"We can't separate! Otherwise, if we meet that ghost alone, it's hard to say we won't be killed."
"I call you Brother Xia, but you are really scared. If you open your mouth and shut up, there is no such thing in this world! We don't care about you anymore, we have all stepped down for you, so just be honest Just shut up, it’s so good that you can talk about it forever!”
Zhao Shuang's inhumane retort immediately gave Xia Qi the urge to hit him, but because the other party was a woman, he still held back:
"Believe it or not, I have a clear conscience anyway. No wonder I don't want to be a good person. This good person is not made by human beings!"
Xia Qi finally showed off his cards with the three newcomers. Anyway, the three of them didn't believe him at all. No matter how much he said, it was all nonsense.
"We didn't mean that." Wang Yazhi looked like she didn't want them to get into trouble.
"Ignore him, let's go find the switch." Sissy said to Wang Yazhi at this time.
Wang Yazhi glanced at Sissy, then looked back at Xia Qi with a dark face, hesitated and replied:
"You go ahead, we'll look for you here."
Hearing that Wang Yazhi wanted to be with Xia Qi, the sissy snorted in displeasure, and then walked away with Zhao Shuang.
Xia Qi was actually quite surprised that Wang Yazhi stayed. After all, these three people came together, not to mention there was a woman over there. But it is undeniable that he still feels somewhat comforted in his heart.
"Why don't you go with them?" Xia Qi's tense face relaxed slightly.
"I just don't think you're lying. Of course, just in case."
After saying that, Wang Yazhi covered her mouth and chuckled twice in embarrassment.
"That's right. How could a handsome man like me lie? Only those two villains don't believe me."
Xia Qi didn't bother to get angry with Sissy and the others anymore. After all, the priority was to save his life at the moment. No one knew when the evil ghost would come out and kill people.
"Let's go, let's go find the switch too..."
Although Wang Yazhi looks weak and average-looking, having someone by her side can at least share some of the psychological pressure.
"This building is really weird. I can't even find a switch!"
Feng Wei muttered dissatisfiedly while walking along the window, turning his head and taking a look behind him every few steps.
In fact, from the moment he separated from Xia Qi and the others until now, he has always felt like being followed, but when he looked back, he didn't find anything. Speaking of which, he still cared a little about what Xia Qi said before, but he just didn't want to believe it.
After passing two windows in succession, Feng Wei found that the curtains in the building were all tightly closed. Because of this, the whole floor was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.
When he came to a floor-to-ceiling window again, Feng Wei did not turn a blind eye this time. Instead, he opened the curtains more than half, and then a large amount of bright moonlight came in through the window.
But along with it, there is...
Feng Wei subconsciously looked at the window, and then he was stunned.
"ah--!"
The next moment, a cry full of fear broke the original tranquility here.
