"Fengling Village?"

Murong Hong and Miao Yingying seemed to associate it with something, shivering in fear.

Could it be… that Cao Liuyu's ancestral village had once sealed a... supernatural entity?

"Manager Cao, you are our 13th floor's stabilizing force, you can't just give up on yourself..."

Liu Dacheng was almost crying.

What would he do if Cao Liuyu no longer wanted to live?

"You're acting like a dog, rest assured, although I've come here determined to die, at least I must see the true face of that 'entity'... Otherwise I won't be able to rest in peace!"

"And now, you all must follow my orders."

Cao Liuyu sneered, pulling out a gun from his coat!

That cold, metallic feel, and the dark muzzle, regardless of whom it was aimed at, would make one's forehead break out in cold sweat.

"Manager Cao, I've always been fiercely loyal to you."

Miao Yingying, who had considered changing jobs just moments before, immediately declared her loyalty, almost sticking close to Cao Liuyu.

Han Bingjie felt his hair almost explode:

'That's a real gun!'

'Cao Liuyu really has great power!'

'It's not safe even within the company...'

He looked unconsciously towards the person he hoped would support him, only to see Zhong Shenxiu curiously examining a gravestone: "Who is buried here?"

"If we can figure out the identity of the grave's occupant, it may be very helpful for our next moves... Some inconspicuous clues might hide strategies to avoid being attacked by the entity…"

Chu He completely agreed but regretfully noticed that the inscription on the gravestone was blurred.

Where there should have been a black-and-white photograph left only a rectangular imprint, the photo itself had vanished without a trace, and even the inscription below was indistinct.

It was as if some sort of eerie power had erased it.

"It seems the mission really won't be that simple, but I'm more convinced now—the identity of this tomb's occupant is very important..."

Chu He suddenly said, "Shouldn't we leave now, otherwise, if the 'entity' comes to unpack the delivery, it could trigger the first attack."

"But... the contents of the delivery might also be a way to survive."

Zong Sheng countered.

"That's easy…" Cao Liuyu chuckled and pointed the gun at Liu Xin: "You've always been Chu He's confidant; he must have instructed you to do something, right?"

Liu Xin gave a wry smile, pulling out a camera: "It's a camera for outdoor use, with wireless connectivity, but there appears to be no signal here so it can only record, to be retrieved later."

As for lying in ambush here waiting for the entity to unpack the delivery?

That would undoubtedly be far more dangerous!

"If there is an entity, it's more likely to be directly inside the tomb…" Cao Liuyu pondered.

And Murong Hong and the others shuddered at the thought, fearing this half-mad manager might make them dig up the grave.

"According to the company's procedures, the entity won't kill anyone right away; with each kill, it will still offer us some time to hide and strategize…"

Cao Liuyu smiled ferociously: "So… hide the camera well and let's start team building according to the workflow!"

"It's best not to stay around this graveyard..."

Chu He nodded.

The group moved to the other side of the cemetery, completely obstructing No. 27 graveyard from their view, which instantly felt much better.

The tension from confronting the 'entity' seemed to dissipate quite a bit.

"Alright, according to the rules, we must dine together for an hour. Xiao Han, it's all on you now."

Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily, unconcerned, as Han Bingjie set down his backpack, spread out a large dining cloth on the ground, and then took out various cooked foods.

Chicken legs, steaks, grilled corn, fries, hamburgers… even fruits.

All were from the go-everywhere company's cafeteria, excellent in quality and flavor.

"Han Bingjie said awkwardly, "I thought everyone might be thirsty, so I also brought some beverages..." and then pulled out two large cans of drinks.

"Haha, the young man has potential, it's a shame there is no beer..."

Zhong Shenxiu picked up a disposable cup, filled it with juice, and drank it heartily as if he were really at a picnic.

"Xiao Han, I didn't greet you properly earlier, so let's just call this our group meeting, welcoming the newcomers."

He sipped his drink while looking at the three newcomers who had survived.

They were a couple dressed in casual clothes and a white-collar worker in a suit, "Come on, let's eat together and get to know each other..."

The three newcomers, like quails, neither dared to run nor show their faces, especially since the gun Cao Liuyu held was quite intimidating.

At this moment, they could only shyly step forward, "Hello everyone..."

The white-collar worker in the suit and glasses was the first to speak, "My name is Sinan City, I am a lawyer. I don't know why, but I received that text message and ended up here... It told me that if I survive the team-building activity till the end, I can leave. Is that true?"

"It's true, as long as you can survive."

Chu He nodded solemnly and looked towards the other couple.

"My name is Shi Minglou, and this is my girlfriend, Su Nuan... You will help us, right?" The man in the couple took a deep breath and asked.

"We can only try our best, because here, anyone might lose their life in the next second."

Chu He sighed and briefly reintroduced the 'rules' using concise language, and unsurprisingly, he saw the faces of the three newcomers crumble.

"Well, let's sit down and have something to eat together."

Murong Hong called out.

Regrettably, no one was really in the mood; they ate merely as if to complete a task.

Liu Xin was sipping her drink while fiddling with her smartphone, unfortunately still unable to receive any signals.

Zong Sheng, on the other hand, was holding a mirror, occasionally pointing it around.

"Zong Sheng once encountered a job where the 'ghosts' could not be seen by the eyes, but could be revealed by reflective objects like mirrors..."

Chu He explained to them, "Ever since then, he has developed this habit..."

The feeling of waiting for judgment was not pleasant.

Half an hour later, Cao Liuyu stood up, "It's time to retrieve the cameras; perhaps they captured images of that ghostly thing..."

"How about we all go together?" Chu He suggested.

"No, let Liu Dacheng come with me," Cao Liuyu flatly refused.

"Manager Cao..." Liu Dacheng had a mournful expression, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Even though Cao Liuyu trusted him, it didn't mean he was eager to take on such a critical role!

Contact with the 'ghosts', even indirect contact, was very dangerous and could lead to death at any moment!

"Manager Cao, please don't take risks. Considering from a benefit point of view, you should let Sinan City and Shi Minglou go, and you can even hold Su Nuan as a hostage..."

Chu He pushed his glasses up and said, "In terms of martial strength and the experience with Fengling Village, you are irreplaceable..."

The moment these words were spoken, Shi Minglou almost wanted to jump up and hit someone.

But seeing the gun in Cao Liuyu's hand, he restrained himself.

"Don't be angry, as newcomers, you must demonstrate your value," Chu He said to Sinan City.

Such a bloody reality seemed normal to veterans like Zong Sheng.

Only Han Bingjie trembled uneasily.

Considering value, among couriers, it seems that the least valuable ones would soon be temporary workers like him.

"No, I will go first."

Cao Liuyu shook his head and insisted firmly.

And Liu Dacheng, being coerced by the gun, had absolutely no say.

"Regarding that night, I've almost forgotten everything..."

Cao Liuyu turned and left, leaving behind one remark: "The most memorable part to me was the danger that could appear from anywhere...like...a face hiding in the bed!"
