"It was a foreign company, and a few people were on the night shift, they agreed to go for a late-night snack after finishing work."
"Everyone else finished their work one by one and went out to the corridor, smoking while waiting for another colleague, but they waited a long time and no one came out."
"When everyone went in to look, they found that this colleague was not at their desk, the computer was still on, and the work was just a little bit away from being completed."
"Everyone searched all over the company, calling out to this person, but there was no response. Yet, the computer was still on, the work unfinished, and the person didn’t seem like someone who would leave without a word."
"Besides, even if they wanted to leave, they would have to go through the main corridor, and there were so many eyes on the corridor, there’s no reason they wouldn’t be seen."
"They practically turned the company upside down but couldn’t find the person, and when they called the mobile phone, no one answered. So, everyone had no choice but to leave for now."
"Unexpectedly, the next day, the colleague still didn’t show up, instead, his girlfriend came saying her boyfriend hadn’t returned home all night, his phone was off, and she was worried and came to check."
"At this point, someone realized something was wrong and decisively chose to call the police, but the police came to investigate, asked many people, and found no clues." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"There were no suspicious traces left in the office, no signs of a struggle, the computer was left on the work page, everything looked very normal, it was like... like the person had just evaporated into thin air."
"Such a living person just disappeared inexplicably under so many people’s eyes, isn’t that terrifying?" The store owner’s voice was strange, coupled with a slightly urgent tone, making the whole story very atmospheric.
Especially Yang Xiao and Jiang Qingluan’s reactions, which made the store owner very satisfied.
The two seemed scared stiff, holding their breath, all with sullen faces and without a word.
But the store owner definitely didn’t know, Yang Xiao and Jiang Qingluan weren’t scared by his story, but because they had just experienced a disappearance case themselves not long ago, which was almost perfectly aligned with the horror story the store owner told.
Within just a minute or two, when they pushed the door open again and returned to the office, Su Xiaomin and Chen Moting had already disappeared.
No sign of life, no sign of death.
Seeing that he had bewildered the young couple before him, the store owner continued enthusiastically, "Don’t be afraid, there’s more to the story!"
"Hurry up and say it!" Yang Xiao’s expression turned cold, instantly giving the store owner a chill down his spine.
"I said, don’t... don’t rush," the store owner swallowed, withdrew his gaze, and continued with a low voice, "After this incident spread, many old employees of the foreign company left, so they could only recruit new ones and let the remaining old employees train the newcomers."
"It was two old employees with five or six newcomers, after training they distributed work badges to new employees, each badge had a corresponding number."
"One old employee urgently needed to use the bathroom, so handed the work to another old employee and went to the restroom."
"The remaining employee handed out badges one by one, when it came to a girl, she took her badge and asked if there was a mistake, saying the number was 27, but she clearly saw a senior with the badge number 27 in the office."
"Impossible!" The store owner shrilled, reenacting the scene fully, "because the former employee with badge number 27 was the man who disappeared, even the police couldn’t find him."
"But he was just here, right behind you," the store owner imitated the innocent and naive voice of the newcomer girl, pointing behind Yang Xiao like an acting virtuoso.
In that instant, even Yang Xiao felt a chill down his spine, couldn’t help but look back, and only felt a bit relieved seeing there was no one behind him.
"This remark directly angered the remaining old employee who began sternly criticizing the new employee, but unexpectedly, several other new employees also stood up, saying the girl was not lying, they saw him too."
"They also recalled that he was a tall, lanky man with black-rimmed glasses, wearing an old suit, looking elegant, but his face appeared unwell, very pale."
"This person always stood not far behind them, with a sullen expression, not saying a word."
"Hearing this, the remaining old employee was almost scared to drop to the floor because she was certain these people couldn’t have seen the missing man, badge number 27, but their description matched him exactly!"
"At that moment, this old employee was so scared she didn’t dare turn her head, trembling she asked, ’That man... that man they saw, is he still behind her?’"
"By this point, the newcomers all shook their heads, saying he wasn’t there anymore, he just left, one sharp-eyed newcomer recalled he left with the old employee who went to the bathroom, moving very quickly, almost sticking to the old employee’s back."
"At the time, she found it peculiar, thought they knew each other and had something to say, so she didn’t pay much attention and continued listening to the old employee’s introduction to the company."
"Hearing this, the remaining old employee felt her scalp tingling and immediately went to find the company leader, crying and recounting the entire incident, there were many new employees present who could corroborate her story."
"The leader was rather cautious, didn’t spread this recklessly, while sending someone to find the old employee who went to the restroom, he took out a dozen photos from a drawer."
