Survivors of bizarre attacks are more prone to experiencing other strange occurrences than the average person!

This is the side effect of meme contamination.

The world does not have a conservation of luck; the unfortunate only become more unfortunate and desperate!

"I don't know whether they were lucky before, but today must be their lucky day."

Han Bingjie sighed, "Otherwise... this whole family would have become company employees today..."

"That makes sense."

Chu He nodded, took a step forward, and came to Zhong Shenxiu's side.

At this moment, the young couple also looked over. The man surveyed the company building and its surroundings with a somewhat bewildered expression, then, as if realizing something, his eyes changed and he hurriedly pulled his wife and daughter away.

Their expressions were almost as panicked as if they were fleeing a disaster...

"Is it part of a guard's job to drive away those who are lost?"

Chu He asked with a smile.

"It depends on my mood..."

"After all, no amount of nice words can persuade a ghost that is meant to die..."

Zhong Shenxiu returned to the company, ready to have lunch.

"'Annual meeting' is coming soon, huh."

Chu He suddenly said, "That's the horror that left only Cao Liuyu alive from the previous 13th floor... As a guard... I'm also a member of the company, I should be eligible to attend the annual meeting, right?"

"There are still several months until the annual meeting..."

Zhong Shenxiu looked at him with surprise, "I think it's more practical for you to consider how to survive the monthly team-building events first..."

...

His prophecy did not prove wrong.

Another month passed.

The team-building task arrived!

Then, veterans like Liu Xin and Zong Sheng, along with a bunch of newbies, were all wiped out!

Only a few, including Chu He, Han Bingjie, and Murong Hong, managed to escape.

Work is always dangerous! Not everything can be dealt with by rational analysis!

Not to mention, some oddities are simply 'unsolvable'!

"If this keeps up... I always feel that after a few annual meetings, there will be no one in the company that knows me... And then, will I just drift into the role of a company veteran?"

"Maybe newcomers will think there's supposed to be a guard, if certain records aren't passed down... It's quite amusing when you think about it."

Zhong Shenxiu picked up his teacup and gently sipped.

After each month's team-building task, the floors suffered heavy casualties among the employees, and the company began a new round of recruitment...

This day.

Nighttime.

Zhong Shenxiu cultivated during the day and chose to sit outside for a while at night.

All Places Building had no property management, nor did anyone come to collect utilities fees, but the power and water supply always continued.

After all, it's supernatural, and can't be measured by common sense.

At this moment, in the first-floor lobby, the huge crystal chandelier emanated a warm glow, suddenly the glass door at the entrance was pushed open.

A young man wearing a black jacket peeked his head in and walked in, pausing as he saw Zhong Shenxiu sitting in his security guard uniform.

He had bright eyes, a prominent nose, handsome features, and now a slight smile on his face: "Hey there, security guard brother!"

'Another one who has encountered the supernatural?'

Zhong Shenxiu commented inwardly, then suddenly said: "I'm not a security guard. I'm Uncle Zhong, the gatekeeper, but you can also call me Old Zhong!"

"Uncle... Zhong?"

The young man looked at Gui Yi, who seemed even younger than himself, shook his head, and said, "I'll just call you Old Zhong... Want a cigarette?"

He stepped forward offering the cigarette sociably and even helped light it.

Zhong Shenxiu didn't turn anyone away and took a nice drag, pulling over a chair to sit down, "Young man... in the dead of night, what brings you here?"

"Security guard brother..."

The young man watched Zhong Shenxiu expertly smoke and suddenly pointed at the ceiling: "Isn't there any surveillance here? How come you're so skilled?"

"Nothing much, nothing much, our company is very easy-going..."

Zhong Shenxiu casually snuffed out the cigarette butt on the carpet.

The young man recognized it as an imported wool carpet, very expensive, and now it bore a black burn mark. His mouth twitched as he introduced himself, "My name is Wu Qi, and I'm a private detective..."

In this era, private detectives still existed.

They walked the line of the law, mainly engaging in services like finding people, catching cheaters, and naturally, they were regulars at the police stations.

As he revealed his identity, he was ready to be escorted out by the security guard.

But to Wu Qi's surprise, the expression on the face of the security guard across from him didn't change at all, "So...?"

"Three days ago, I received a commission, a missing person's commission. My client wants to find someone... Then, after tracking him for a while, I found out he frequents this building... Are you a courier company? Why haven't I seen any other branches?"

Wu Qi got straight to the point.

'Indeed, detectives skilled at finding the truth from clues are more likely to encounter those dirty things...'

Zhong Shenxiu nodded, then suddenly cursed under his breath and headed toward the main door, "What do you do here?"

Wu Qi looked over and saw a man and a woman walking in through the main entrance.

"Hello, security guard brother, my name is Yue Shan, and this is my sister Yue Qin!"

Yue Shan was tall and thin, wearing glasses, with an air of scholarly gentleness, while his sister had a round face and looked somewhat cute.

"We've been observing this place for a long time, this is also a place of anomalies, right?"

Yue Qin suddenly spoke up.

"What anomalies? Why are all these weird people coming tonight? Our company might be small, but we don't accept visitors without an appointment..."

Zhong Shenxiu frowned, prepared to shoo them away.

"Please, security guard brother, help us!"

Yue Shan spoke up, "My sister and I have always been avid supernatural enthusiasts, and we have a compelling reason..."

"What reason?"

Zhong Shenxiu asked casually.

"Our parents, we were told died in a robbery when we were young, but the crime scene could not have been set up by humans. It must have been the work of something otherworldly!"

Yue Shan declared firmly, "My sister and I have been pursuing the truth since we were kids... We've been observing this place for a long time, this company is strange... I'm telling you this to let you know how determined I am. If my demands aren't met, as soon as I leave, I'll make sure everyone knows about this place, and I am a very famous blogger!"

"Expose us?"

Zhong Shenxiu contemplated seriously, what would happen if the company really did get exposed and it was directly associated with the eerie and the odd?

'Likely, the meme would be suppressed, or... at the last moment, if faced with an unstoppable force, would the All Places Building move? After all, its main body can appear anywhere, in any city, on any street...'

'How interesting, I'd like to try this...'

'No, I need to be cautious. What if one day this damn company goes bankrupt and the boss runs away with his mistress? Where else am I going to find a place where I can eat for free...?'

He was just about to say something when his eyes flickered and he looked back toward the main door:

"Ah man! Quite the eventful night!"

The next instant, the door was violently pushed open and Han Bingjie's piercing scream rang out: "Brother Gui save me ahhh!!!"

He sprinted at a hundred-meter dash speed and practically flew into the company's doorway, tumbling into an ungraceful face-first slide.

Because Chu He had told him that Gui Yi was now playing a very principled security guard, perhaps he'd save him out of old times' sake, but if he didn't make it inside the company first, the other might just stand at the door, watching him die just outside the company's boundary!

"Something, something is chasing me!"

He ignored the pain in his body and, seeing Zhong Shenxiu outside the security room, a look of salvation crossed his face.

This mission was just as dangerous as ever, and Chu He was off carrying out another task.

Leaving him to fight alone, and after all his teammates had perished, he barely managed to escape to this building on sheer luck.

But this time, the 'something' seemed different, not confined to a specific area, but one that moved around killing people!

And now, it had targeted him!
