Zheng Huan: "Could it be Hong Bo?"

Just as this message was sent out, the knocking on the window stopped, and a voice outside called for me.

"Qiu Qiu, open the door, it's me, I am Hong Bo."

The large shadow of a pig's head was still swinging outside the window, and I could even see its sharp, long fangs.

I remembered the manual saying, 'Under no circumstances should you open the door or respond.'

I leaned out and tightly grabbed the electric baton on the table, staring at the shadow outside the window.

"Qiu Qiu, my work clothes are dirty, can you open the door and lend me some laundry detergent."

Still, I did not respond.

"Qiu Qiu, save me, save me!"

A cry of despair, and seeing no response from me, it finally quieted down.

Seeing the disappearing shadow, I was afraid that 'he' hadn't left yet, so I moved the table to block the door.

There were already many messages in the group.

Zheng Huan: "What's going on over there, Qiu Qiu?"

Du Lin: "Could it really be Hong Bo transformed?"

Xu Chenchen: "Is it still safe? Has that thing left?"

Zheng Huan: "Is this job really life-threatening? I don't want to do it anymore!"

Du Lin: "Do you have two million to compensate? Or do you think you can escape from this fortress?"

Zheng Huan: "So do we just wait here to die? Hong Bo must be dead!"

Xu Chenchen: "Without seeing the body, everything is still uncertain, don't scare yourself."

Zheng Huan: "You guys have good mental quality, you guys are not afraid, right! Anyway, I have to find a way to escape. I can sell my parents' house for two million if necessary."

Zheng Huan was starting to fall apart.

Du Lin: "Why are you getting excited? It's not urgent to escape, at least you should figure out the situation here first. Do you have a little brain?"

Xu Chenchen: "Let's wait for Qiu Qiu to reply first, and see what the situation is."

After this, there were no new messages, so I took out my phone to type.

Me: "He's gone."

As soon as the message was sent out, Du Lin replied.

"Did you really see what that thing was?"

Me: "No, I couldn't see clearly, I just saw a very large shadow of a pig's head, luckily it didn't break in. I guess as long as we follow the rules in the manual, not opening the door or responding, nothing will happen."

Zheng Huan: "Besides knocking on the door and window, did he do anything else?"

Me: "He said he was Hong Bo, kept asking me to open the door, and said his clothes were dirty."

...

Du Lin: "Is it possible that he really turned into Hong Bo?"

Xu Chenchen: "I suspect he got his work clothes dirty while feeding the pigs, do you remember the manual's rule about not letting the breeding pigs soil the white lab coat?"

Zheng Huan: "No wonder Hong Bo suddenly started yelling, even hit the pig, and then there was the action of pulling the lab coat."

Du Lin: "So those who don't follow the rules will become 'pig monsters'!"

Just as we reached a conclusion, a message made our hearts race.

Hong Bo: "What are you all talking about, why are there 99+ messages, why can't I see them?"

...

The group fell into silence.

Hong Bo: "Are you all asleep? I just wanted to borrow some laundry detergent to wash my clothes, but no one answered when I knocked on Qiu Qiu's door. Qiu Qiu"

The eerie words made my hair stand on end.

Xu Chenchen: "Why didn't you reply to the monitoring room earlier?"

Hong Bo: "You're not asleep yet! Can you lend me some laundry detergent, that damn pig got my clothes dirty, it made me so angry."

Xu Chenchen: "You still haven't answered my question?"

Hong Bo: "Oh oh, I went back to the dorm to do laundry, but I couldn't find the detergent."

Du Lin: "Can't you see the messages we sent earlier?"

Hong Bo: "You're not asleep either? Yeah, what are you all chatting about?"

Du Lin: "Hehe, nothing, just chatting endlessly."

Hong Bo: "By the way, have you seen my mask in the control room? I don't know where my mask went?"

This sentence instantly reminded me of the scene where the mask merged with his face, making my scalp tingle.

No one replied to the message, everyone was on edge, afraid of saying something wrong and breaking the rules.

By seven o'clock the next night, when we saw each other again, it was all very ambiguous.

Because Hong Bo was also there.

He was wearing a stained work uniform and was not wearing the pig mask.

Hong Bo smiled and greeted us as if he hadn't noticed how red his eyes were.

"Let's go, I see that the pig feed has arrived, but it seems not as good as yesterday's food."

The dishes in the white plastic bucket were not as abundant as the day before.

Zheng Huan couldn't help but ask, "Why are you wearing dirty clothes to work? The manual says you shouldn't."

"I shouldn't be, but I can also choose not to follow the manual, it won't make a difference."

Hong Bo shrugged nonchalantly, carrying the plastic bucket to the pig feeding enclosure.

"Do you think he's still a normal person?"

Du Lin muttered to us under his breath as he watched his back.

"I don't know, let's just stay away from him and go feed the pigs first." I shook my head.

"Huh? Why is there no pig feed in my bucket?" Du Lin exclaimed.

We looked into his plastic bucket, indeed, it was empty.

Xu Chenchen urged, "Let's not worry about it, go check on the pigs you're responsible for, and we'll know what's going on."
