Day of Imprisonment

It's 10:05 AM.

Luo Xi walked out of the men's locker room on the 24th floor and quickly took his water cup to the water room to get water.

The water room and the toilet are at the end of the corridor, and there is also a lounge there. There are safety exits on the east and west sides of the corridor. The aluminum alloy clad tempered glass doors have an access control system. You need to swipe your card to enter, and you can unlock them by pressing the switch when you leave.

At this moment, Luo Xi was at the west exit, looking at the company promotional pictures posted on the wall. On one side was the access control switch, and on the other side was the fire safety reminder sign, which had a floor plan of this floor, with safety reminders and rules to be followed in case of emergency.

Next to the reminder sign was the manual alarm button.

It was a red square box with operation prompts written on it: 'Press the alarm button in case of fire'. The button was a black dot, protected by a small glass frame, which read 'Break the glass to report a fire'.

He walked over, without hesitation, and first used his stainless steel thermos cup to smash the access control switch hard. With great force, the casing of the switch shattered after two hits. He tried pressing it a few times, but the access control wouldn't open, it had lost its normal function.

Immediately afterwards, he smashed the glass cover and pressed the fire alarm button.

Instantly, the not-so-shrill alarm bell rang.

Luo Xi, holding his water cup, walked towards the east corridor exit with his hands behind his back, crossing the work area.

When the alarm bell rang, the people in the work area were alarmed.

Previously, everyone had undergone fire safety training when they joined the company, learning about some cases and self-rescue methods in emergency situations, the use of fire extinguishers, and how to quickly evacuate through escape routes.

Of all this content, how to evacuate was the easiest to remember, or rather, it didn't need to be taught at all, after all, escape is an instinct.

But having said that, just an alarm bell would at most make everyone curiously look around. In reality, no one evacuated, and most people didn't even leave their seats, continuing to do what they were doing.

They didn't take it seriously at all.

Because very few people have actually experienced a fire, most people learn about it through training, television, and the internet.

However, when thick smoke and a pungent burnt smell began to come out of the men's locker room on the 24th floor, the situation took a 180-degree turn.

"It's really on fire."

"Quick, quick, run."

"I'm still talking to a client."

"Run, are you stupid? Is the client more important than your life?"

"Quick, emergency evacuation, everyone get up."

Looking at the chaotic work area, Luo Xi showed a satisfied smile.

He stood by the east safety exit, having opened the door in advance, like a doorman, as if waiting for something.

The alarm bell and the thick smoke coming from the men's locker room immediately stimulated people's nerves. When they truly realized the crisis, everyone's reaction was to escape. Of course, some people went to find fire extinguishers, but those who needed to evacuate still had to evacuate first.

There was an exit on the east and west sides respectively. Luo Xi broke the access control switch on the west side, so it couldn't be opened. Therefore, people could only evacuate from the east side, and Luo Xi would say a sentence to everyone who came over.

"It's ten o'clock, Brother Mao is downstairs!"

Most people looked at Luo Xi as if he were crazy, and their pace became faster. Some people were confused and asked Luo Xi what he meant.

"Lao Luo, what do you mean? What's wrong with Brother Mao?"

"Why aren't you running? What are you doing standing here?"

"I just saw you smash the switch on the west door, Luo Xi, are you sick?"

But no matter what others said, Luo Xi only had one sentence.

"It's ten o'clock, Brother Mao is downstairs!"

At this time, a female colleague heard Luo Xi's words, and she stopped immediately, looking over with a strange expression.

It was obvious that she was very surprised, and then fell into hesitation, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Luo Xi looked back at her.

The female colleague was called 'Zhang Yanan'. She belonged to the kind of very introverted personality, and her relationship with Luo Xi was average, just a polite greeting when they met.

The thick smoke in the men's locker room began to increase. The people who went to find fire extinguishers earlier cursed, because the fire extinguishers that were usually placed in the corridor were now gone.

"Quick, let's go, the smoke is getting bigger and bigger, call the fire department."

The two male colleagues wanted to pull Luo Xi away, but Luo Xi broke free. When they pulled again, he immediately swung the cup in his hand to hit them hard.

"Are you crazy?" The two men clearly realized Luo Xi's abnormality.

At this time, Du Lei also ran over, his eyes full of tears from the smoke, coughing non-stop.

"What are you all doing standing here? Hurry down! I don't know which bastard broke the door on the west side."

The two male colleagues immediately told Manager Du about Luo Xi's abnormality.

"Xiao Luo, what's wrong with you?"

"It's ten o'clock, Brother Mao is downstairs!"

Still this sentence.

"..." Du Lei was speechless. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said seriously: "Xiao Luo, do you know what you are doing? This is a crime. Is this sudden fire related to you? I'm asking you, what exactly is going on?"

The smoke was very thick at this time, and the personnel on the 24th floor had basically evacuated from this east door.

Only a few people remained.

Luo Xi was naturally one of them. The female colleague Zhang Yanan was still there. She looked very nervous, and the tangle and hesitation in her eyes overflowed, showing that she wanted to run, but something seemed to make her very afraid.

The latest novel is at 69shu ba. First release!

Besides that, there was Du Lei, and two other male colleagues.

A total of five people.

"Almost there."

At this time, Luo Xi walked into the men's restroom next door, and then walked out carrying two fire extinguishers. One of them was handed to Du Lei.

The others noticed that the other party was wearing a gas mask on his face at some point.

It was the kind of disposable, hooded fire-fighting gas mask in a red box. This thing is actually called a 'filter-type fire self-rescue respirator'.

"I've checked the pressure gauge, it's normal. Pull out the safety pin, grab the nozzle, and you can spray..."

Luo Xi stepped into the men's locker room. Soon, the sound of a fire extinguisher being activated came from inside.

Du Lei frowned, hesitated for a moment, then picked up a fire-fighting gas mask from the table and walked into the men's locker room.

He saw that the fire was started in an open locker, but at this moment, all the lockers were burned, some were dark and severely deformed, but there were no other flammable materials here, and the open flame was about to be extinguished. So Du Lei stepped forward to help, and it took three cans of fire extinguisher to put out the fire in the locker room. At this moment, the room was full of smoke, and Luo Xi had already opened the window in the locker room.

"Did you start the fire?" Du Lei stared at Luo Xi and asked.

Luo Xi did not deny it.

At this time, he walked to the fire hydrant in the corridor, took out the polyester fire hose inside, first went to the west exit, and used the fire hose to tie the handles on both sides of the door on the inside, tying a knot that was difficult to undo.

The other four people just looked at him like that, with different expressions.

"Hey, there's only one fire hose, not enough."

Luo Xi muttered at this time, then went to the toilet, took the mop handle, and removed two chair legs from the chairs in the workstation.

Walking to the east door, Luo Xi looked at the time.

It was 10:15 AM.

"Everyone, I'm going to seal off this floor next. I'll give you a chance now, you can leave now, but let me say something ugly first. If you leave, you will lose this opportunity. No matter how many times you have saved your memory, you will not be able to clear the level. Whether you are killed by someone or killed by Brother Mao, the memory card will eventually be cleared. Think carefully, ten seconds, ten. nine."

"No, Luo Xi, what do you mean? What exactly are you trying to do?" A male colleague was already a little impatient.

The others all had solemn expressions, looking at Luo Xi with extremely complex emotions, trying to see something.

Luo Xi ignored the question, holding the metal chair leg in his hand, and continued to count down: "Eight, seven. six."

"I..." Zhang Yanan couldn't help but want to say something, but Luo Xi directly interrupted her: "I won't answer any questions now. Stay, or leave. Five. Four."

"He's crazy, let's go down first." The male colleague who spoke at the beginning stepped out, but to his surprise, Du Lei and another male colleague did not move.

"Director Du, you guys..."

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

Luo Xi closed the door. The male colleague walked back in at the last moment, his expression gloomy and strange.

Using the mop handle, chair legs, and some network cables he found to seal the east door as well, Luo Xi clapped his hands at this time and glanced at everyone.

"Now, no one will disturb us."
