Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 825 Restart
Looking at the familiar scene, Jiang Cheng felt a strange feeling in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng got out of bed, walked to the door, and opened it. Outside the door was the corridor of the apartment.
Everything was exactly the same as when he woke up yesterday, except that there was no one in the corridor this time.
Seemingly hearing Jiang Cheng opening the door, after a while, several other doors nearby opened.
Fatty cautiously poked his head out from behind a door, his face full of caution.
There was also Huai Yi, Xia Qiang, Lin Muyun...
Everyone walked out of their rooms and gathered together.
Except for Li Mengyao, who had been confirmed dead, no one died last night.
Everyone was there.
Even an old hand like Xia Qiang was completely confused.
"What the hell is going on?" Fatty couldn't help but ask.
When he woke up, he was back in his room in the apartment. He sat on the bed for a full minute before he dared to believe it was real.
"Last night, Xia-duizhang (Captain Xia), Lin Muyun, and I were on duty," Jiang Cheng said. "We heard an alarm, and then we lost consciousness. When we woke up, it was like this."
"Did you do anything at that time?" a woman named Zhou Tong asked.
Looking at her expression, she also seemed very strange. Logically speaking, with Xia Qiang and Jiang Cheng on the first watch, they were the strongest of all of them, so they shouldn't have done anything strange.
"We were just discussing the mission at the time, and we didn't even leave the sofa," Lin Muyun said. His brow was slightly furrowed, and it could be seen that he was also a little flustered, but his tone was calm, trying not to spread this flustered mood and affect others.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng continued, "The alarm last night was very sudden. It should also be a kind of reminder."
Xia Qiang picked up the conversation, "It's a reminder, that's right. I remember that alarm sounded the same as the several times we heard it before."
Through analysis, everyone could confirm that in this mission, the alarm had a special meaning. Every time the alarm rang, something would happen.
From yesterday until now, they had heard the alarm a total of four times.
The first time was yesterday morning when it woke them up.
The second time was when "Wang Jie" was introducing the weird things she encountered to them, the alarm suddenly rang, interrupting the exchange, and "Wang Jie" also left in a hurry. Soon after, the police called.
The third time was last night when they were on duty, the alarm rang, and then everyone lost consciousness.
The fourth time was just now when they were woken up by the alarm.
"What are you all doing standing here? Hurry up, the client has been waiting for a long time. Are you still doing business or not?" A plump woman of about 35 years old appeared and began to complain after seeing Jiang Cheng and his group.
Seeing the woman, Fatty's role changed instantly.
It was the woman who called herself Sister Wen, whom they had just met yesterday, and was also their landlady.
"Let me tell you, if you still can't pay the rent next month, all of you will be sleeping on the streets, every single one of you. Don't you dare come begging your Sister Wen." Sister Wen put her hands on her hips and said with a pout, "I introduce business to you, and you're still not proactive. I've never seen people like you."
"Sister Wen?" Yuan Xiaotian exclaimed softly.
The plump woman who called herself Sister Wen glanced at Yuan Xiaotian and said in a dissatisfied tone, "What are you so surprised about? Have you never seen your Sister Wen before? Let me tell you, nothing else matters, you can't be short even one cent on the rent!"
Xia Qiang looked at Sister Wen and said with a smile, "How dare we continue to owe rent? We will work hard to pay the rent. We've been taken care of by Sister Wen during this time." Xia Qiang spoke very nicely, while constantly observing Sister Wen, as if he wanted to find some clues from her face.
But unexpectedly, Sister Wen curled her lips and glanced at Xia Qiang with a disdainful look, "I take care of you entirely because of your boss's face. If Chengcheng (Jiang Cheng) wasn't so considerate, do you think I'd bother with you? I wouldn't even care if you slept on the streets."
After speaking, Sister Wen waved to Jiang Cheng, her tone completely different from when she spoke to Xia Qiang, sounding very gentle, "Come on, Chengcheng, I'll take you to the business I introduced to you."
Jiang Cheng naturally greeted her, put his right arm around Sister Wen's waist, and the two walked downstairs together, with everyone following behind them.
"Sister Wen, you're the best to me," Jiang Cheng said softly, blowing air into Sister Wen's ear. "You even take the trouble to introduce business to me."
"You know it," Sister Wen's left hand groped Jiang Cheng's back very dishonestly, hinting, "Then how are you going to repay me?"
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, leaned close to Sister Wen's ear, and whispered a few words, causing Sister Wen's breathing to become rapid, her exaggerated chest heaving violently, and the look in her eyes at Jiang Cheng wishing she could eat him on the spot.
Everyone saw the performance of these two in their eyes, and Xia Qiang naturally understood that Jiang Cheng definitely had his purpose.
Sure enough, after feeling that it was about time, Jiang Cheng began to get information from the dazed Sister Wen, "Sister Wen," Jiang Cheng asked softly, "Who is the client you introduced to me?"
"I heard she's a white-collar worker in a company, and she seems to be scared silly. She doesn't say much no matter what you ask her," Sister Wen replied.
Jiang Cheng's eyes paused. It seemed that it was "Wang Jie," the woman from yesterday.
No, that's not right. Everything that happened today is exactly the same as yesterday!
Even the words Sister Wen said after she appeared, Jiang Cheng had an impression of.
What is this?
After one person dies, does the mission restart?
Or is it a time loop?
It was as if they were trapped in a strange space-time...
He thought a lot in his mind, but reflected in time, it was only a short moment. Jiang Cheng's expression remained the same, and he continued to ask, "Then what happened to her?"
After hearing this question, Sister Wen's face became serious, "She seems to be..." Sister Wen paused, and after a few seconds, she continued, "She seems to have... encountered that kind of thing. It doesn't look like she's faking it, but you'll have to ask her yourself about the specifics. You also know that I'm not interested in those things at all."
But even though she said that, Sister Wen's eyes at Jiang Cheng were filled with deep concern, "Chengcheng, why don't you... why don't you close the company? Sister Wen doesn't want the money she invested in you before. I always feel it's too dangerous, and I'm always worried about you."
"Just tell Sister Wen if you need anything, and Sister Wen will give it to you. You're so young, why bother making things so difficult for yourself?" Sister Wen said in a persuasive tone. It could be heard that these words were sincere. Sister Wen was indeed planning for Jiang Cheng's future.
Jiang Cheng sighed inwardly. It seemed that Sister Wen was only a character used to advance the plot, and the information she knew was extremely limited.
