Chapter 3：Prelude to the boring war

The whole office is filled with laughter, snacks piled on the table, like troops stationed on a battlefield. Xiao Zhang patted the table and said excitedly: "Boring team, ready to face the boring monster!" I can't help but wonder, are we really going to have a big fight with an invisible monster? If there is a monster, maybe its shape will make me laugh.

"Tonight, we're going to work wonders with boredom!" I went on, trying to warm things up, but got a laugh. Some colleagues began to imitate the appearance of monsters, exaggerating the action, so that I could not help but laugh. Such an atmosphere, let me forget the irritability of work, it seems that the boring monster is not terrible, but has become our playmate.

"Guys, show off your powers!" Xiao Zhang commanded like a commander, and it seemed that everyone had suddenly become unscrupulous. Guided by his voice, we began to show each other our monster anthropomorphic skills, some fighting boredom with exaggerated faces, others with their own boring dance to free up. At this moment, the usual seriousness is completely absent, only laughter filled with.

"I can become like a boring ghost, and bring boredom everywhere!" A colleague came up with the idea and everyone burst into laughter. One after another, we offer more "boring" ideas, as if in a crazy dream, imagining how to destroy invisible monsters in a dream.

Just as we were enjoying ourselves, there was suddenly a rapid knock on the door outside the office, which broke our pleasure. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the door with curious eyes. I was a little nervous, thinking it couldn't be one of those real monsters, could it?

Xiao Zhang pretended to be calm: "It must be boring reinforcements coming!" He opened the door first, and there stood a costumed colleague holding a large, boring poster, smiling and waving at us.

"Boring reinforcements! I could not help laughing out loud, the colleagues in front of me is really a scenery. The poster in his hand read: "Welcome to the boring world - are you up for the challenge?" For a moment, we let our guard down and started waving at him.

"What have you got there?" Xiao Zhang asked curiously, as if he were looking at a novel work of art. The colleague said triumphantly: "I prepared this specially for the boring party tonight, to attract more boring fans!" With that, he displayed the poster even more proudly, as if it were the work he was most proud of in his life.

"I said, this poster design is absolutely boring!" "I quipped, prompting another burst of laughter throughout the office. Everyone began to imagine that if there really were boring monsters, would they also have such a poster to promote their boring philosophy?

"Come on, take a picture together!" Xiao Zhang suggested, my heart moved, thought of a good idea. "As long as we record these boring moments, we will look back and forth, and it will certainly become the legend of our boring team!" People crowded around, ready to do all kinds of exaggerated and boring poses.

"Boring team, assemble!" "I shouted, waving my hand like a combat commander, instantly rousing everyone. We started playing around, taking on superhero poses and boring monster looks, and the whole scene was almost like a surreal comedy show.

When the photo was taken, the office suddenly went dark, and the whole room was engulfed in darkness. My heart shook, is it really boring monster here? At the same time, there seemed to be an energy surging through the air that excited me beyond measure. "Don't be afraid, everybody! We're a boring team, and we're good at taking on challenges!" "I said forcefully, though praying that the challenge wasn't too real.

"Boring monster of the dark, on my command!" I shouted into the empty space with some excitement and timidity in my voice. It was eerily quiet, and even though I was a little rattled inside, I knew I couldn't show it. After all, I was commander of the Boring Team.

"Xiao Zhang, are you ready for the challenge?" I turned to him and asked, trying to use his laughter to calm my unease. Xiao Zhang blinked and smiled as bright as the sun: "Of course! If the boring monster dares to show himself, I will give it a taste of boredom!" "He said, and made an exaggerated fist movement, as if he were performing a boring martial art.

Just then, the office lights suddenly flash, accompanied by a "whoosh" sound effect, there is a commotion at the door. It turned out that the "Boring Reinforcements" had gathered a dozen people, and it seemed like a weird farce. The colleague who led the way held a large light bulb and smiled like a fool: "This is what I specially found to destroy the boring monster with one blow!"

"Ha ha, that's a good idea!" I said with a smile, but in my heart, I wonder if the power of this light bulb can really disperse the darkness? Everyone excitedly gathered around at the same time, as if the light bulb had become our super artifact. Strangely, the oddly dressed colleague had a serious look on his face, as if he were making a serious speech: "We need to work together to really defeat the boring monster!"

"Yes, our boring slogan - unity is the power of boredom!" Xiao Zhang shouted, and everyone could not help laughing. The atmosphere in the office was suddenly warm and a fire lit in my heart, as if it was all heading in an unexpected direction. "Let's go!" I also shouted, the inexplicable courage in my heart is rising.

With everyone's enthusiasm, all the lights came on again, and the whole office was instantly surrounded by colorful light. The darkness seemed to be dispelled by our laughter and lights, and these supposedly depressing moments of boredom seemed to come alive. We are creating our own adventure, a journey into the unknown that seems to be waiting for us to explore.

"Boring monster, come out!" Xiao Zhang's Shouting was like a fuse that lit up the atmosphere of the whole office. It was as if we were no longer ordinary colleagues, but a group of brave adventurers, ready to take on the unknown challenge. At this point, the marketing director reached out his hand: "Since we are all boring team, let's have a team photo!" Record this moment!"

"Ok, come on, everybody, get ready, the Boring monster is behind!" I cried excitedly, as everyone gathered around in funny poses. With an uninhibited smile on his face, Xiao Zhang has fully committed himself to the role, as if he were playing the protagonist of a boring feast. After this picture is taken, maybe we'll be legends, Boring team legends!

"Ka-ching! The moment the shutter clicked, the whole office filled with laughter. The sunset outside the window spills through the glass, adding warmth to our life. At this warm moment, suddenly, a lightning-like sound came, no wonder everyone was stunned. "Boring Team, who else dares to challenge?" As he spoke, a burly colleague walked into the door, dressed in a costume reminiscent of the Monster of Boredom.

"Wow, it looks like that!" Xiao Zhang was so excited that he clapped his hands, and everyone exclaimed for a time, as if they had seen the real god of boredom. The colleague pretended to be serious, shaking the toy monster in his hand, as if to accept the challenge: "Ready to meet my boring attack?" The scene was so funny that even I couldn't help laughing.

"Boring monster, today we will give you a good time!" I shouted back. Xiao Zhang and I looked at each other, and an idea came to our minds. "How about a competition to see who can deliver the most boring moment?" Xiao Zhang suggested that the whole office immediately burst into flames.

"Well, I'll go first!" The marketing director volunteered and immediately began to imitate the boring ghost, with a somber tone and exaggerated movements that drew laughter from the crowd. The boring atmosphere turned into a carnival performance, and the time seemed to be stretched indefinitely. We gradually forget the troubles of work, surrounded by the laughter and joy of this moment, as if we are gradually entering an unprecedented dream.

"Xiao Zhang, go on with your ghost show!" I could not help laughing in my throat, and everyone began to look forward to it. Xiao Zhang continues to perform like a freak, boring ghost's voice is low, sometimes drifting, sometimes trance, and even cooperate with strange actions. I think we're really in a crazy dream tonight.

"Give me back my boring time!" Xiao Zhang pulled his voice, as if he were asking someone for the lost memory. I couldn't hold it back and laughed my head off. The colleagues in the corner of the eye are also happy to have stomachaches, and the warm atmosphere makes us find unexpected fun in this boring battle.

"It's my turn next! The head of marketing announced with a serious look on his face. He ran quickly to the center and began to imitate a bored puppy, whining as if longing for a bone. In my mind, I had a faint sense that this boring Courier was a potential stock, and the laughter nearly knocked down the ceiling of the office.

"The boring monster strikes!" I echoed, suddenly kicked the office chair, and took the strength to walk toward the center. Everyone was suddenly paying attention again, as if they were watching a play about to be staged. I vigorously waved my big hand and began to play a fighter against boredom, emphasizing image and momentum. Xiao Zhang immediately followed: "This monster must be careful, it is the strongest opponent of our boring team!"

Just then, the office lights dimmed again, and the cold wind swept over, as if boredom was really coming. Heart racing, I looked up, pretending to be calm: "The ghost that does not exist, is not here!" The whole scene resumed its liveliness, and no one could not help laughing, as if the boredom really had no power.

At that moment, however, there was another knock on the door, interrupting our performance. This time the knock was more rapid, as if something urgent were about to happen. I couldn't help but swallow, thinking, is there really a legendary boring monster? The whole office atmosphere is suddenly tense, it seems that the boring team is about to face a new challenge.

"Knock, knock, knock! The sound, like a call from a monster of boredom, disrupted our cheerfulness. My heart tightened, all kinds of foreboding ran through my mind. "Open the door! Boring reinforcements may be coming!" As Xiao Zhang spoke, he tried to restrain his nervousness and put on a brave face.

"Don't worry, we're a boring team! Absolutely not afraid of the Boring monster!" I tried to cheer everyone up in an impassioned tone, but secretly contemplated the terrifying possibility: "What if a real boring monster moved in?" When the door finally opened, there stood our new project manager. She carried a large plate of "boring eight Treasures rice" in her hand, which seemed more boring than any of our boring activities.

"Boring eight treasure rice, coming!" She smiled like she was about to give us the ultimate boring gift. The whole office burst into laughter, but I could not help but secretly admire: "This colleague really can play, boring can also sublimate into art!" Xiao Zhang lost no time to say: "This is the ultimate challenge of the boring team, eat this plate of eight treasures rice!"

"Yes! Eating eight treasures rice can eliminate real boredom!" I teasingly followed, thinking secretly: "If you can really eat boredom, then I am ready to hate on the eight treasure rice." People began to gather around the plates, and the colorful little things looked like the embodiment of the monster of boredom, which made me misunderstand "extremely boring food."

When we were commenting on the "boring eight treasures rice", the light in the office went dark again, and we felt that a mysterious force filled the air. At the same time, the project manager gave everyone a mysterious smile, "Are you really ready for the boring challenge?" At this moment, everyone's eyes are shining, it seems that boredom and challenge are quietly intertwined at this moment.

"Of course I'm ready!" As if ignited, Xiao Zhang clenched his fist and wore a determined smile on his lips. "Huns or boredom, we are invincible!" This line triggered a burst of laughter, and I couldn't help but think that this morning's madness had exceeded our expectations.

"A boring challenge? Let's do it!" Xiao Zhang made a bold speech, pushing the atmosphere to a climax. The "boring eight treasure rice" in front of us is simply the embodiment of boredom at this moment, every vegetable seems to laugh at our monotonous life.

"If this eight-treasure rice dish can make me enlightened, maybe I can turn into a superhero." I picked up a spoonful and said with false composure, trying not to let everyone see my inner struggle. Xiao Zhang raised his eyebrows and stared at me: "Do you dare to try? If you can eat it, you can beat the Boring monster!" My heart is tight, it seems that every mouthful is mixed with boring soul, as if it can really be swallowed.

When everyone grabbed chopsticks to prepare for the challenge, the project manager suddenly laughed and threw out a surprising suggestion: "How about we have a boring eight-treasure rice competition!" See who can finish the plate in the shortest time!" The whole office erupted in excitement as if they were fighters waiting for battle.

"Good idea! I shouted, but in my heart I thought: "Eat eight treasures rice?" I'm getting more and more bored." Xiao Zhang was already dancing on the table, his expression focused, as if he were already planning a food strategy. "Boring Team, are you ready for the challenge?" He shouted passionately, the atmosphere was suddenly lit up, "We not only want to eat eight treasures rice, or to defeat boredom!"

The game began, and for a moment everyone seemed to be under a spell, each fighting for the shaky boredom of the disc. As I chewed, I felt more and more that the kingdom of boredom was coming towards us. Xiao Zhang must be a boring genius, his eating style is just jaw-dropping, like performing a boring extreme show.

"Whew, Xiao Zhang, how did you do that?" I shouted as I devoured. "I've found the essence of boredom!" His mouth was full of food, but there was a hint of mystery in his words. Just as I was about to take another sip, suddenly, the power went out in the office. No matter how much joy and laughter, the moment is engulfed by boring darkness. Everyone stopped the spoon in their hands at the same time, so that the heart of a pull, can not help but think of the horror of the boring monster legend.

"How did the power go out?" I asked quietly in the dark, my heart began to panic, is it difficult to boring monster really come? The office was quiet, the air seemed to be filled with tension, and even the cheerful mood seemed to be swallowed up by the boring darkness.

"Xiao Zhang, are you there?" I was trying to feel my way around in the dark when I lifted my hand and bumped into something soft. That is Xiao Zhang's shoulder, he smiled calmly: "I am still here, the flashlight of the mobile phone light up!" With that, he took out his mobile phone and pressed it gently, and the faint light instantly dispersed the surrounding darkness.

"Wow, that's amazing! You're like the Lightbringer of the Boring Army!" I joked, relieved. Other colleagues also took out their mobile phones, and the office was suddenly turned into a starry sky. Everyone began to joke, and their voices echoed in the darkness, as if swept away by the shadows of bored monsters.

"This blackout is a wonderful moment of boredom!" "Exclaimed the head of marketing, a little playfully in his voice. At this time, the power supply was restored and the magnesium light suddenly lit up, illuminating everything in the office. Everyone cheered, as if they had overcome the talons of boredom, and instantly restored the lively atmosphere.

"The worst fear of boredom is the blackout! Now there's nothing to do, I'm back to my normal life!" I said with a smile. What followed was not only laughter, but also a sense of enlightenment. Everyone returned to the previous state of the game and continued to try to eat the dish of "boring eight treasures rice". But there was always a tinge of unease, as if boredom were a temporary retreat.

'War! Xiao Zhang shouted again, and the atmosphere of excitement continued in the office. "Come on, boring monster, I'm ready for you!" This time the challenge seems to be more intense, more people look forward to, and I also feel once again, this extremely ordinary life, unexpectedly in the interweaving of boredom and laughter, formed a beautiful picture.

"Boring monster, here we are!" Xiao Zhang's voice was like a siren call, and the atmosphere of the office was lit up again. Everyone raised chopsticks, as if holding a weapon ready to fight, the smell of boring eight treasure rice gradually diffused, as if challenging us.

"I'll take the first bite!" "What a challenge," I thought to myself, "to eat a boring eight-treasure meal while still remaining brave." However, my mouth has been confused by the mix of flavors, disgusting breath mixed with the taste of various ingredients, like the epitome of boring life.

"Ha ha, eating alone is no longer enough to beat boredom, now some art is needed!" Xiao Zhang proposed, suddenly began to imitate a variety of boring stars, shaking his head and saying: "Here is boring International, together to feel bored!" As he spoke, he mimicked a guitar with chopsticks, causing everyone to laugh.

"Boring International? You're the king of boredom!" I hesitated, then followed suit, making a mock spin that nearly tripped me over and nearly collapsed laughing. The colleagues around him follow suit, and the solemn atmosphere suddenly turns into a boring carnival, even the boring monster of dreams poses no threat.

"Beware, this could be the ultimate challenge of boredom, are you ready?" The voice of the marketing director sounded in this noisy atmosphere, and everyone made a serious expression, do we really have to face real boredom? At that moment, the door of the conference room flew open, interrupting our performance once again.

"Oh, I'm interrupting your boring battle!" The project manager walked in smiling, carrying a small remote-controlled monster in his hand. "Just wondering how your boring challenge went." Seeing such a scene, I suddenly realized that life is always full of unexpected fun, even in the most boring moments. The night was destined to be a wild dream, and all the boring monsters seemed to be swept away in the dark by mischievous humor.
