Day of Imprisonment

‘Company’ headquarters.

This building, standing quietly in the dark void, has its internal staff performing their respective duties as usual on each cycle day.

The employees who can work in the Company building are a select few, chosen from thousands.

Obviously, they cherish this ‘safe’ and secure job.

They don't need to experience life and death, nor do they have to worry about amnesia.

The only things to overcome are the monotonous environment and work content here.

These employees print out real-time report data from various level scenarios and quickly take them to the corresponding supervisors, or even the regional directors, for approval.

They also accept orders from superiors to implement various tasks in practice.

Even including cleaning and tidying up the office area.

Most of the time, they are still very busy.

Relatively speaking, it is slightly easier for supervisors and directors.

Bai Cai sat in his office, looking at the strange, dark space outside the window, his expression solemn.

No one knows what this promising supervisor is thinking.

In these past few cycle days, employees who have encountered him, even supervisors of the same level, dare not be disrespectful, mainly because this Supervisor Bai Cai is likely to be promoted.

The next step is Regional Director.

Within the Company, reaching the level of Regional Director is already considered truly having one foot in the ranks of senior management.

After all, the number of Regional Directors within the Company is much smaller than the number of supervisors.

Generally speaking, a Regional Director manages at least twenty supervisors, and it is not surprising for some large Regional Directors to have hundreds of supervisors under their command.

Therefore, the ratio of Regional Directors to Supervisors is basically one to fifty.

Naturally, Bai Cai, who is likely to become a Regional Director, will definitely not be offended by his former colleagues of the same level when they meet again; they will only try their best to curry favor with him.

But Bai Cai, who is about to be promoted, can't be happy.

His mind is full of question marks right now.

The source of his confusion is Qiu Kui, whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

Both he and Qiu Kui are subordinates of Luo Xi.

There is no doubt about this.

Moreover, each of them, including Dou Dou, has their own tasks.

The three of them do not know what tasks the others have received; they need to keep secrets and need to spend a long time completing these tasks, which requires a strong sense of responsibility and willpower, and the ability to endure loneliness. Therefore, after receiving the task, Bai Cai never contacted Qiu Kui again.

And Qiu Kui also never contacted him again.

The two of them have had no contact for at least hundreds of cycle days, even though they work in the same building, they have never met.

Sometimes, Bai Cai would even deliberately wander around the building, but he never encountered Qiu Kui.

This state continued until a few cycle days ago, when he received a call from Luo Xi.

And on the next cycle day, he received a call from Qiu Kui.

The latter asked him to meet, without even any extra greetings, only saying two important things.

One was that Qiu Kui was going to be promoted to the level of Company Vice President.

The second was that she needed him to fill her previous Regional Director position.

“Based on the performance you have accumulated, after I am promoted to Vice President, I will use the recommendation mechanism to promote you to ‘Regional Director.’ As for what to do next, just stand by,” Qiu Kui felt as if the two had just met yesterday.

But in reality, they haven't seen each other for a long time.

Bai Cai had a lot to say, but it was all stuck in his throat, unable to utter a single word.

In the end, it turned into two words.

However, he was recommended for the position, so it required approval from the ‘higher-ups.’

Since Qiu Kui said she would take care of this matter, then the problem should not be too big.

But Bai Cai's mind is very confused now, and he is thinking a lot, because he doesn't know what to do next at all.

In addition to some inexplicable panic and irritability, he is more filled with anticipation.

Although Qiu Kui didn't say anything, it was as if she had said everything.

Because some things don't need to be said so clearly at all, and many things can only have one answer.

Qiu Kui suddenly came to him, there is only one possibility, that is, Qiu Kui received a new instruction from Luo Xi, this is the only explanation, similarly, in the new plan, he is also a part of it, just like Qiu Kui said, he doesn't need to worry about anything for the time being, just needs to stand by and act.

To be honest, Bai Cai has been waiting for this day for a long time.

He knows that Luo Xi must be doing something very important. As for what exactly it is, Bai Cai doesn't know, but the spring river warms as the ducks know first. He manages more than twenty level scenarios and administrators, so he naturally knows what happened within the Day of Imprisonment.

For example, Dou Dou, whom he manages, reported two cycle days ago that a group of powerful Memory Retrievers actually openly attacked her Game House scenario.

If Bai Cai hadn't urgently sent several other powerful administrators to help, Dou Dou's Game House might have already been flattened.

This matter would definitely not be a small matter in normal times.

But in the current troubled times, it really doesn't count as a big deal.

In addition, the large-scale event of Memory Retrievers breaking out into mutual slaughter, similar things have occasionally happened in the past, but it was only limited to certain two opposing Memory Retriever forces, but this time, it is one extremely powerful force attacking all Memory Retrievers.

In the first cycle day alone, as many as hundreds of Memory Retrievers lost their memories as a result.

Even some administrators of level scenarios were affected.

Moreover, in the following cycle day, this situation intensified, and it was obvious that this was a planned killing operation by a certain force. The normal order on Tun Tun City's side has been completely broken, and now the entire city is filled with slaughter, looking like a doomsday world.

This is very unusual.

The suddenly ringing telephone interrupted Bai Cai's random thoughts.

He was even startled.

After taking a look at the telephone on the desk, he took a deep breath and answered it.

Qiu Kui's voice came from inside.

“Come to the thirteenth floor immediately. I have already signed your promotion documents. From now on, you are the Regional Director. Also, I have already opened the elevator permissions for you.”

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

Bai Cai's heart was pounding wildly, but he still suppressed the excitement in his heart, got up, and walked out.

He walked to the elevator and pressed the button.

The elevator opened.

Outside were several passing employees and supervisors, including a few familiar faces, all colleagues who he usually saw every day.

And these people were all stunned when they saw Bai Cai enter the elevator.

Because in the Company, not everyone can take the elevator, and even if they do take the elevator, they can only go from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor.

Going higher is not allowed.

That requires breaking through the identity of a supervisor.

Otherwise, not to mention that they have no permission to use the elevator at all, even if they mix in with other senior management, the result is death.

The Company's regulations on this point are quite strict, and no one dares to violate them.

In other words, Bai Cai has already been promoted to the position of Regional Director.

Their hearts were filled with mixed feelings, envy, and jealousy.

The elevator doors closed.

Going up.

Bai Cai had already pressed the 13th floor. The elevator was very quiet, and it was the first time he had gone up to such a high floor.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

He began to imagine various possibilities, but before he could finish imagining all the possibilities, the elevator reached the 13th floor, and then the doors opened.

Qiu Kui was standing outside, looking like she had been waiting for a while.

“Qiu”

“Come with me!” Qiu Kui interrupted what Bai Cai was about to say, waved her hand, and then turned to walk forward.

“Where are we going?” Bai Cai followed, and after taking a few steps, he couldn't help but ask.

“I'll tell you later.” Qiu Kui didn't turn her head.

Bai Cai didn't ask any more questions, just followed Qiu Kui forward, but soon he was surprised to find that the corridor over there seemed to have been damaged, the walls were damaged, and the floor was collapsing.

Immediately, he was stunned, and the further he went, the more traces of destruction there were, obviously, there must have been a very fierce battle here.

Moreover, the Company headquarters is different from other places in the Day of Imprisonment.

It will not be reset here.

In other words, if it is destroyed, it is destroyed, and it will not be restored in the next cycle day.

“What happened here?” Bai Cai wanted to ask, but the next second he thought of something.

What he thought of was the previous huge explosion. It was said that it was because someone had invaded the Company headquarters.

Could it be that everything in front of him was caused by that invasion?
