On my first day as a security guard at Haitong Building, I received an employee handbook.
Article 1: It is prohibited to take the elevator after 23:00.
Rule 2: Don't open the door when you hear a knock on the door, no matter who is outside.
Article 3: The building does not have four underground floors.
I did everything.
Until I discovered that every night in the manual, one more rule would appear out of thin air.
Article 4: The surveillance will be turned off on time at 1:00 a. M., But don't think that the footage you were recorded will really disappear.
Rule 5: Water damage moves, climbs walls, and drips from ceilings—but there are no water pipes in the building.
Article 6: Your former security guard also received this manual before he disappeared.
Everyone thought I was just a new useless security guard.
No one knows that I am the only non-staff member of the last "Anomaly Affairs Bureau" in the country.
That place folded ten years ago.
I am the only one left in the entire establishment.
When I turned to the last page of the manual, I saw this line:
"Are you still checking? I asked you to come here on purpose."
