Chapter 700 Where has everyone gone? (17)

"Why is it so late?"

In front of the door of a certain company, a department head was pacing impatiently.

It should be time to go to work, but three people in a row did not come today.

Not late but not at all.

I can't get through on the phone, what are you doing?

And I haven't seen anyone for two days.

Calculating the time, it is not the World Cup, and there is still a year before the Olympic Games. There have been no major events recently, and there are no world carnival festivals. What is it that keeps these people from coming together?

These three people haven't had much contact with each other before, let alone the level of friends, so it's obvious that the three of them are not in collusion to come together, so what's going on?

"Sorry, sorry sir, I'm late!"

A person ran towards this recklessly, with a smile on his face.

The supervisor looked at the man with some surprise.

"Curtis? Why are you late? And what's wrong with your eyes?"

"Ah, I have some troubles in my life recently, and I can't sleep, so I'm late today, I'm really sorry."

"Forget it, hurry up and go to work."

The supervisor waved him to go to work, and this person immediately began to thank the supervisor, usually the supervisor is not easy to talk, it is really rare to be able to speak so well today, which also made him look at the supervisor twice more.

It's not that the supervisor is kind, and it's not that the supervisor doesn't care about being late, but that this person named Curtis is usually a relatively quiet guy, and he can accept the rare lateness, and there are three other people who are still late I can't get in touch.

By the way, I can't even get through the phone, so there must be something wrong?

Suddenly the supervisor thought of something bad.

For example, if you are robbed by robbers, and then you are beaten severely and seriously injured, if you don't call the police for help in time, you may be gone.

Could all three be at risk?

He is not very good at calculating this probability, but it definitely feels a little low.

But no matter what, if this kind of thing really happened, if he didn't do something, he would feel a little uncomfortable when he really saw what happened to these three people.

After all, these three people can be regarded as the core members of their small group, and it is difficult to accept the loss of one of them.

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the phone impatiently and dialed the alarm number.

"Hi, this is 911."

"Okay, I want to call the police. Three employees in our company haven't come to work for three consecutive days, and they haven't even answered the phone. I'm a little worried that something bad will happen to them, so I'm wondering if I need to call the police."

The operator on the other end of the line asked, "Are you the supervisor of the three?"

"That's right."

"Then have you contacted the family members of the three?"

"Usually, I haven't had any communication with the family members of these three people, so I don't know the contact information very well."

"Okay, we will record the case, and then send the police, please tell me the names of these three people, and some basic information about these three people."

"These three people's names are..."

After the operator recorded the name, the operator hesitated and said, "By the way, sir, have you ever heard of a game called Civilization?"

"Ah? What?" The supervisor was a little confused. He didn't understand why the operator suddenly said something about games.

"Actually, we have received a lot of similar calls since yesterday, and then our police officers went to their homes and found that each of them stayed in front of their computers and refused to leave, and they were doing the same thing. , that is to play a game called civilization, and I will go to sleep after another round, please don’t disturb them.”

The supervisor probably thought for a long time before he understood what was going on.

It turned out that the operator was talking about a video game, and it seems that many people have lost contact because of this game in the past two days.

"This... I really don't know, but it's just a game. As for being unable to contact for several days?"

The supervisor was still a little unbelievable.

It's not that he hasn't played video games before. It's interesting, but it's not enough to make him sink completely.

"Well, I'm not sure, our police officers will definitely investigate, but now we want to count how many people have disappeared because of this video game."

The supervisor felt a little puzzled and hung up the phone.

Seeing that no one had entered the gate until this time, he had no choice but to return to the company to finish today's work.

However, on the way he began to recall carefully.

He suddenly remembered, as if he had indeed heard the word civilization recently.

He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, since he wasn't too interested in video games either.

But just now the operator suddenly told him about it, which made him start to care too.

If you haven't come for several days because of a game addiction, although it is a bit outrageous, it seems more reasonable.

By the way, he suddenly remembered that Curtis, who was hardly late in the past, was rarely late.

And he also has dark circles under his eyes, looking very tired.

It seems that if Curtis himself is more responsible for his work, he might not be able to come today.

Thinking of this, he turned a corner and went straight to Curtis's work station.

When he walked to Curtis's station, he found that Curtis was quietly taking a nap.

Obviously this guy didn't sleep all night yesterday, and now he came here to catch up on sleep.

"Cough cough."

The supervisor coughed twice, causing Curtis to wake up immediately.

"Oh, Director."

"It's okay, if you're really tired, it's good for work to take a break."

Curtis said embarrassingly: "Director, I haven't slept well these two days, but I will definitely try my best to complete the work you arranged."

"Well, I believe in your ability." The supervisor nodded and said, "But before that, I have a question to ask you."

"Director, tell me."

"Have you ever heard of the game Civilization?"

When the supervisor said the name Civilization, he obviously noticed that Curtis's spirit was lifted, which made him immediately understand what was going on.

Obviously Curtis knew something.

But Curtis quickly adjusted his mood, and then asked tentatively, "Director, why did you suddenly ask this?"

The supervisor didn't hide it, and said directly: "There are three guys who haven't come for two days, and they can't be contacted at all. I wonder if they are playing this game and then forget about going to work."

"Forehead……"

The supervisor continued to ask: "Do you know anything about the game Civilization?"

"Eh... I understand a little bit."

"Then come here and show me what this game is all about."
