Chapter 327: Who's Mimicking This?
“Someone is coming. I’m hanging up.” Gao Ming put away his phone. The ghostly eyes on the screen slowly closed. His phone was also a cursed object. Xuan Wen traded it with other players through Dead Water Forum. The glass door spun in the dark. Two youngsters in the investigation centre uniform sneaked into the lobby of the pet toy company. They were startled to see Gao Ming.
“Boss, someone’s here before us.”
“Shush. I’m not blind.”
The two parties stayed about five meters apart. A few minutes later, the company backdoor was pried open. A family of four entered the lobby with masks on their faces like bank robbers. They made such a loud noise that they were discovered before they entered the company. It was easier for them to use the front door.
“Honey, didn’t you say you were an expert lock breaker?”
“I’m an internet hacker, not a physical lock breaker. What do you expect me to do?”
A group of four came in from the backdoor. The man looked around forty. He looked surprisingly buff for a man his age. His wife was about five years older. Despite her unforgiving tongue, she was a good person. Their children should be around the high-school age. However, considering the fact that they were sneaking around the anomaly with masked faces and backpacks, it put their parent’s educational style into question.
The three parties had a staredown. The family of four spoke first because they had the number advantage. The father walked over with his arms raised. “We are here because we’re all horror game players. There’s no conflict of benefit between us. We should cooperate.”
“Nonsense.” The two youngsters were about to refute him when the father continued.
