Chu He's expression remained unchanged as he continued to stare at his phone.

Ding ding!

At that moment, he received another new message—it was an MMS, titled "Year-End Party Invitation!"

Chu He operated his phone with his thumb and opened the MMS.

A photo refreshed on the screen.

It appeared to be a narrow, dark alley, and as the photo continued to refresh, Chu He's pupils shrank in response!

He saw… his own dead body!

In the photo, Chu He lay at the end of the alley, face upturned, his pale face on display, with a huge bloody hole where his Deceit Eye should be.

He was dead…

Chu He's expression did not change; he stayed fixated on the photo.

At that time, exclamations of surprise rose up around him: "What's going on?"

"Is it fake?"

"I'm dead?"

Yue Shan's complexion turned unsightly as he looked at his own death photo.

He was impaled on a metal fence, his body pierced by several metal bars, his left hand completely gone.

Yue Qin looked at her headless corpse, her face turning pale.

Everyone… had received their own death photos; this was the year-end party invitation!

"This time, is it a 'Gui' with the ability to foresee the future?"

After a long while, Chu He put down his phone and murmured to himself.

"Is the company telling us that in this mission, no one will survive?" Han Bingjie's face was a mix of tears and laughter.

The people from the 13th floor seemed to be handling it relatively well.

People from the other floors, upon seeing their own death predictions, were nearing madness, their minds seized by immense fear.

"I don't want to die; I don't want to die!"

"Chu He, save me, save me… Don't you have a powerful Gui Yi? Make him come back, make him come back!"

A woman grabbed Chu He, her expression frantic with pleading, clearly terrified by the sight of her own future death. The realism made her believe that the photo was not forged but an image of her future death!

"Ms. Yu, please calm down a bit. This might just be the scheming of a 'Gui,' putting pressure on us."

Chu He subconsciously pushed up his glasses, but only touched the white eye patch.

"I don't care; you people from the 13th floor know too much. Even that Gui Yi has broken away from the company… You must be planning to escape on your own, not giving us any advantage, just watching us die!"

Ms. Yu suddenly pulled a gun from her bosom and aimed it at Chu He.

"Calm down!"

Chu He's voice suddenly turned cold, even carrying a trace of chill in his tone.

Although he hadn't activated his Deceit Eye, the previous few uses had already caused some changes in his body.

An unknown light passed through the eye patch and fell upon Ms. Yu.

Ms. Yu's hand holding the gun trembled uncontrollably, yet her body was like a statue.

Chu He immediately turned on his heel and walked past her.

[Please arrive at the designated year-end party location within seven days according to the invitation; otherwise… elimination!]

Then, another new text message appeared on everyone's phones.

"Is the year-end party mission a large-scale task chain, where one leads into the next?"

Chu He talked to himself, looking again at his own death photo.

The alley, the body without eyes…

There were absolutely no landmarks or text above.

"It seems... this first round task, reaching the annual meeting location, requires a lot of people to work together..."

Chu He thought to himself, "Use more death photos to piece together clues about the location of the annual meeting..."

Bang!

At that moment, he heard a gunshot from behind.

It was Ms. Yu!

After regaining the ability to move, she swallowed a bullet and committed suicide.

Fresh blood erupted on the wall behind, blooming into a bright and tragic rose.

"It wasn't me!"

As the crowd stepped back, Chu He sighed helplessly, "She committed suicide..."

In desperation, people can do a lot of things.

Some give up on themselves and indulge in various pleasures, some choose to leave this world outright, while others rise to the challenge and cling to every shred of hope.

Ms. Yu was clearly the second type!

Chu He sighed, then suddenly turned and snagged Ms. Yu's cell phone from the pool of blood.

She was already dead, so what would her death announcement be?

Clearly, Chu He wasn't the only smart person; several other smart people from other floors had the same thought and were watching the cell phone on the ground.

Han Bingjie and Yue Shan quickly stepped forward to join Chu He.

Relying on the fierce reputation they had previously established, they managed to scare off the coveting wolves.

"This..."

Chu He picked up the phone and flipped to that death photo, his pupils shrinking instantly.

The photo showed Ms. Yu lying in the lobby of the building, having shot herself, with blood staining the wall behind.

It looked... exactly the same as the current scene!

"This... it's fake, right?"

Han Bingjie felt the hair on his back stand on end when he saw this.

"It's impossible..."

Yue Shan leaned in to look, then quickly shook his head, "Could it be that our futures... are already sealed?"

"Let's clarify one thing, ever since we received the invitation to the annual meeting, none of us have been safe. We could die at any time... if we can't find the location of the annual meeting within seven days, we will die as well... and during this period, anyone can still die..."

Chu He handed the phone to the other smart people, "Is this a coincidence, or is there a deceitful power influencing things in the shadows? It's not easy to conclude for the moment, but one thing is certain, we must unite quickly to find the location of the annual meeting... and there is a lot of misinformation in these death photos."

For example, Ms. Yu died directly in the company lobby, which is a misleading clue.

"I get it... no wonder Yu Qinghong was so agitated and scared before, because the prophecy foretold her death here."

Another smart person from a different floor, Han Dongsheng, nodded, "These death forecasts... can we really not defy them? For instance, if someone is destined to die outside and we kill him now... does that count as breaking the deceitful pattern of murder?"

Never underestimate any employee.

They have reached the point where they will do anything to survive.

And under the immense pressure of the annual meeting, especially with the stimulus of death predictions, it's not strange for them to do anything.

"I think the hope is slim... even if we change one person's death prediction, it's not guaranteed we can change everyone's."

Another female stood out, "And... this might just be a conspiracy of the company, to have us kill each other!"

"I agree with Lily's view."

Chu He said, "The 13th floor is firmly against such behavior. I still advocate collecting more photos to find the true location of the annual meeting. I hope everyone can send the photos to me, and I, Chu He, guarantee on my honor to send them to everyone once we find the meeting place!"

"Even though we are in Hell, please preserve the last of our humanity and order."

"Heh... only because you, Chu He, are already halfway out can you say such superior-sounding words."

A voice came from the corner, "If you're so selflessly generous, start by sharing all the mystical items..."
