"All right......"
Before starting the second task, 45 switched it to the motion sensor option.
It seemed to be just a fleeting moment when she saw a flashing exclamation mark in a certain area of the screen.
45 Of course, I understand the meaning of this image...
The recording told her that if something was moving in any room, the corresponding area of the motion sensor would flash an exclamation mark to warn the user.
The location where the exclamation mark last appeared was quite far from 45. Although there was no surveillance footage, the route layout suggests that it is currently safe.
Most importantly, she didn't hear any other unusual noises...
"Clap!"
......
Damn it, I just finished saying that...
Although it was extremely light, it was still noticed by 45; if it were a human, it might have been difficult to detect.
There was a sound of something hitting the ground...
Moreover, it didn't come from my left or right sides, but... from behind!
45 was greatly shocked and quickly got up to look at the glass window behind him.
Apart from the occasional flickering, dim light, there was nothing...
Damn it, she definitely heard it!
It must be the area behind us. If we can't see it, where else could it be?
45. You can't keep trying to stay calm. You need to quickly check the situation on the surveillance footage.
The signal has been restored, and the screen is back on display, but the view from the safe room seems to have changed slightly...
"Tsk, where did that thing go?!"
45 immediately went to locate the mechanical skeleton, but apart from a broom lying on the ground, the spot where the skeleton had been lying was completely empty...
The same safe room, but the place where that thing was could no longer be found.
Add to that the broom lying on the ground, and perhaps that's where the sound came from.
She knew very well that something was wrong...
Okay, let's take a look now!
The anxious girl began rapidly switching between the surveillance footage, filtering from far to near, trying to find the location of that thing.
Until, in a corridor...
From the moment you enter the underground facility to the workroom at location 45, you need to go through three corners and four corridors, passing through more than twenty rooms along the way.
And what 45 sees now, that thing, that mechanical skeleton, just stands there, motionless...
It's already on the third corridor, which means that after just one more turn, it will reach the corridor behind it...
Damn it, it's only been less than a minute! I only heard a noise, and it's already almost touching the spot behind me?!
Fortunately, the recording still had the sound playback function mentioned in the recording...45 chose to play the recording in the "rest room" in the second corridor.
【PRESS PLAY AUDIO】
【AUDIO PLAYING】
【There is nothing,everything is OK,let's go back to sleep】
"cha"
Two seconds later...
No Signal
Tsk, I just pressed the play option, why is the screen black again?
But this time the situation was much better than before; the image returned to normal after only five seconds.
But the location of the skeleton has also disappeared from the corridor.
45. Switching to the rest room, sure enough, the skeleton was there, facing several benches and tables in front of him, with a few cigarette butts and dusty wine bottles on them.
It seems to be working; the skeleton has indeed been diverted.
However, there will be a three-minute pause from now on...

"Luo Fan, wake up, wake up!"
In a daze, Luo Fan, who was lying on the table, was shaken awake by some force. When he looked up, he found Ying Que looking at him with a worried expression, while the girls who should have been sitting behind him rushed forward and crowded in front of the monitor screen.
"What's going on? Why are you all crowding around?"
Luo Fan's mental state has not fully recovered, and he is still unaware of what happened.
"Something's wrong, Commander, look..."
416 coldly pointed to a corner of the surveillance screen, an extremely difficult-to-detect location.
Luo Fan rubbed his eyes and followed the girls, craning his neck to join them.
"See that? It's small here, but there's a color difference; you can see the white part."
Only after 416 reminded him again did Luo Fan realize what the other party was referring to.
Yingque's expression was not good: "Now you know why I woke you up, right?"
"Yeah, I know... tsk."
Not only the 45 people in the basement, but they also discovered something strange in the surveillance footage.
The area pointed to by 416 is located in a corridor some distance away from the mall. Although the quality of the surveillance footage is extremely low and very dark, careful observation still reveals a small white area in the dark corridor amidst the black pixel blocks.
The outline can be roughly determined; it is humanoid, or more precisely... a naked mannequin.
He assumed a walking posture, facing the other end of the corridor, and remained motionless...
......
Are there other people in the mall?
Luo Fan asked subconsciously.
But all I received were negative responses from everyone.
AK12 shook his head and pointed to AN94 beside him: "94 and I patrolled that area and didn't find anyone else."
"Perhaps it was due to your negligence?"
"No, Commander, you must trust your tactical dolls, especially those of us in the military-grade. There are no unlocked shops on site, and there's nowhere to hide in the entire corridor. If we can't find them, what about the others? Besides, if 15 knew you were questioning our abilities, she might be sad."
AK12's tone was clearly teasing, but AK15 didn't understand what she meant.
"I won't, AK12. I will only demonstrate my ability through action."
"Ah, yes, yes, of course you can. Then tell the commander, did you and RPK find anything strange when you patrolled here?"
AK12 shrugged, looking indifferent.
"not found."
That's right.
AK12 laughed and said, "You see, she didn't notice, and neither did we, so there must be no one here. Maybe there was too much lubricant on the mannequin and it slid off on its own?"
Uh... Luo Fan didn't know what to say for a moment.
"When did you start speaking like an RPK?"
Luo Fan said with disdain.
"Oh? You don't like this way of speaking? I thought you preferred my humorous style."
AK12's feigned surprise... to be honest, it was pretty annoying.
RPK can't do anything other than keep smiling.
Well, at least for now, there's an undeniable fact in front of them: a model ran into the hallway, and without anyone deliberately moving her.
Should they help the mall staff move the items back?
Just kidding, all three recordings told them to stay away from these models; it would be a miracle if they went near them.
So, they're not here to guard against people, but to guard against what?
......
"Although I regret it a little, it seems it's too late to resign now..."
Ying Que scratched his hair awkwardly, his complexion even worse than before.
"Yeah, they say they're the market regulators, so it's obvious they're preventing us from resigning and breaking our contract. I don't know where they get such power, but we might see it for ourselves, like the things in this mall..."
Luo Fan was wide awake, and his expression grew increasingly serious.
It seems there are more serious problems they need to face than just feeling sleepy.
Materialism won't save them now; staying away from these models is the best option...
......
2:45am
416 whispered, "It's about time UMP45 came back. Switch the surveillance to the basement entrance area."
"Ah."
During shift change, Luo Fan went to rest on a chair. When it was RPK's turn to review the surveillance footage, she adjusted the camera to the position where the image disappeared before 45 seconds.
.
As expected, the hidden door opened, and everyone saw the figure of 45 in the picture.
This means the end of the day's work in the basement, and also means the signal has been restored, allowing them to communicate with 45.
Luo Fan immediately picked up his phone and dialed number 45.
"Sister 45, how's work going? Has anything gone wrong? Any unexpected problems?"
Luo Fan subconsciously launched into a barrage of questions, but 45's voice clearly conveyed a sense of irritation.
"Well, to be honest, it wasn't all that smooth sailing, but we've done everything we needed to. As for the details, we'll talk about them when I get back; it's too complicated to explain in a few words."
"Okay, we'll keep an eye on things for you. Just be careful."
Perhaps working in the basement isn't easy either; even at 45, he's feeling a bit overwhelmed...
What did she see in the basement?
......
Three minutes later, 45 returned to the security room in time, without any of the timeouts mentioned in the rules.
RPK handed her the coffee he had prepared in advance. 45 thanked him simply, took the coffee, and sat back in her chair, looking somewhat tired.
Luo Fan also turned to 45 and said seriously, "Now, tell me, what happened in the basement? It can't be explained in a few words. Did you make any new discoveries?"
"New discoveries? Yes, of course, there are plenty."
