Under the desert, an unknown place.

For Daniel, this was an ordinary day. He got up at 8 o'clock, then had a breakfast that was exactly the same as yesterday. At the second intersection in the cafeteria, he greeted a colleague who he didn't know what he was called. In fact, they also said hello here yesterday and walked into the work area at about the same time and started working exactly the same as yesterday.

This was true yesterday, the day before yesterday, the same was true a week ago, and it has been the case for the past three months.

Yes, it has been three months since I came to this ghost place. That morning, the company's senior leader solemnly told himself that he would be transferred to an extremely important place to work for three months, and when you return to the company, you will be promoted to the head of the technical department.

At that time, Daniel simply felt that she had been brought to the goddess of luck.

So, he agreed to the job without thinking, and then he got a needle

Daniel had no idea why he had to get an needle in the dispensing work. Anyway, when he opened his eyes, he was already in this place.

Where is this? What is it for? Is it a government department? Or a manufacturer under a company?

He didn't know anything. Anyway, his job was to copy a number on a screen onto a piece of paper from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and then enter it into another computer screen in another room. Finally, click the Enter key.

Yes, it's just that simple!

This is really a bit aggrieved for a talent with a doctorate in engineering. Even a person who washes dishes can do this job, as long as that guy knows the numbers.

However, when Daniel thought of getting a raise and promoted after going back, he still endured the three months.

At 9:20, Daniel entered a string of numbers into the computer and sent it out. Then, he began to wipe the gaps of every key press on the keyboard and wiped it.

This is not to say that he has some cleanliness, but that he has nothing to do. He is not allowed to bring mobile phones or snacks in the entire work area. Even water can only flow out from the pipe at the end of the corridor. It is even more impossible to have entertainment items such as poker and chess. Even if there are, no one will play with you, because communication is prohibited in the work area.

In such an environment, Daniel can only pass the keyboard to pass the time.

At 9:26, just when he touched the "x" key

"Dongdongdongdongdong" sounded a knock on the door.

Daniel was very confused because he had been here for three months, and no one would come to this room except himself.

"Who?" Daniel shouted.

"It's me, No. 9225." A man's voice came from outside the door.

"9225?" Daniel was stunned for a moment. In this place, everyone had to call each other by numbers. This 9225 was the one who greeted him in front of the restaurant every morning.

Daniel hesitated for a moment and pulled open the door of the room: "Well, is there anything wrong? You know you can't run around at work." He frowned and said, "He didn't want to lose the opportunity for promotion because of this little thing.

Employee No. 9225 looked at him: "Uh, nothing, I just want to give this to you." As he said that, he took out an identity sign made of metal from his pocket and handed it to Daniel.

The number [2832] is written on the sign.

Daniel was stunned for a moment, because [2832] was his own employee number. So, he subconsciously touched his chest, okay, until then he realized that his badge had fallen.

"Oh, thank you so much, I don't know it was lost." He said, "Where did you pick it up?"

No. 9225 smiled: "At the door of my work area."

A brief silence.

"Oh thank you so much, then"

"No need to thank you, it's just a small effort." No. 9225 waved his hand indifferently, then turned around and prepared to return to his work area.

His work area is not far from Daniel's work area, but only at the two ends of a "t" intersection. Every day he goes left, while Daniel goes right

However, looking at the back of No. 9225, Daniel frowned deeply and he was a little puzzled because he discovered some small problem from the other party's words just now, a very small problem that he shouldn't care at all.

But

"Hi, wait a minute." Daniel couldn't help it: "You mean, you picked up my badge at the door of your workspace?"

No. 9225 turned around: "Uh, yes, it's on the ground at the door. Maybe you accidentally fell down when you passed by yesterday."

Daniel scratched his nose: "But I've never been in that direction." He said with a frown

"This" No. 9225 also scratched his head. He didn't know what No. 2832 means: "Okay, maybe you fell somewhere else, and when someone passed by, he kicked it."

"Is that right? But then he needs to kick a long way." Daniel murmured in a low voice.

"What's wrong? Maybe someone is bored." No. 9225 said: "Okay, this is no big deal. I have to go back to work."

He said, then waved his hand, and the meaning was very obvious, which was to say, "I don't want to do this bad thing with you, just think about it yourself."

Daniel could only nod apologetically and then closed the door to the office area.

In this way, it was 12 noon.

There are very few people in the cafeteria, only a dozen. In fact, in this place, everyone’s meal time is not fixed. They may only eat breakfast at 10 am or 2 am. Anyway, it is already very good to have lunch at this time of noon.

No. 2832 was eating his own bread and bacon on a dining table

Suddenly, Daniel came to him with his plate and sat down.

This made No. 2832 a little uncomfortable. After all, in the past few months, they have basically no communication except for the "hi" they usually met and the few words they said when handing over the badge this morning. In this almost stranger relationship, you suddenly sit opposite you, and it feels like you are in the toilet with a long row of peeing pits, but you just come over and pee with you, so No. 2832 is uncomfortable all over.

"What's your name?" Daniel said first.

"Uh, we can't reveal our names, it doesn't comply with the regulations." No. 2832 said with a frown.

Daniel nodded: "Okay, then I'll keep calling your number. Uh I know this is a bit abrupt, but I'm still upset about my badge, because I've really not been to your workspace, I've never been to it for three months, so I think it's impossible for my badge to fall to your door. Do you understand what I mean?"

2832 still frowned: "So, you can't even eat well for such a small thing?"

"Yes, hehe, it sounds like it's a bit obsessive-compulsive, right?"

No. 2832 shrugged his shoulders: "Yes, but it's understandable that if you stay here for a long time, you will have some obsessive-compulsive disorder. But if you have been here for three months, then you should be close to your work deadline. Congratulations and I, damn, I have to work for another month."

"Well, it's so unfortunate." Daniel responded: "But I'm here to ask a question now. You found my badge this morning, right?"

"Of course, would I take it in my bed and hug it for a night?"

Daniel quickly waved his hand: "Haha, of course not, I believe you, but this may sound strange, but I just recalled that when I finished work at 9 o'clock last night, I clearly remembered that my badge was still on my clothes, and after that, I went back to the house to sleep."

"Oh, so, you want to say that your badge ran to the door of my office area at night?"

Daniel scratched his nose: "Yes, I can't figure it out, but it's here. There are usually only two possibilities for this situation. The first is that someone stole my badge and threw it to the position you found this morning."

"Well, you analyzed it well." No. 2832 chewed the bread and responded impatiently: "Where is the second type?"

"The second type is that you said, would I have been to your workspace, but I don't remember it?"

Daniel said with a frown.
Chapter completed!
