On the day Zhou Sui'an was laid off, HR said: "The company thanks you for your contribution."
She asked, "What about severance pay?"
HR smiled: "Your contribution is severance pay."
She walked out of the office building holding the cardboard box, and a notification popped up on her phone:
"You have been qualified for the internal beta of "Infinite Workplace". Do you accept it?"
The following two buttons: [Accept] [Accepted]
"... You don't even give me no? What a lousy company."
She clicked Accept.
Then she discovered that there was indeed something wrong with this crappy company.
Colleagues would disappear at exactly three in the morning and no one would remember they were there. The work stations move on their own, spelling out phone numbers that shouldn't exist. In the conference room sat people who had "resigned", grading the living people with expressionless expressions. And the photos of her work badge are getting blurry day by day.
The only good news is that she's not alone.
A paralyzed but reliable teammate, an information dealer who talks more than she does, and a Riddler who always only talks half the words.
Four unreliable people, trying to survive in a copy with zero reliability.
But the deeper they go, the more they discover one thing——
This copy seems to know them.
And it seemed like it had been waiting for them for a long time.
Intention: In a system that treats people as consumables, remembering who you are is the greatest resistance.
