===========
Preliminary summary: Black Gate Fortress is a large-scale comprehensive work site focused on researching information interaction.
The environment where Black Gate Fortress is located is very extreme. The Black Gate Fortress is directly connected to the Death Tide Realm. For the current imperial creation, the Death Tide pollution cannot be completely isolated – the Death Tide pollution will penetrate the protective measures of the fortress.
Since the death tide pollution cannot be completely isolated, the pollution will continue to seep into the fortress. Therefore, some abnormal conditions will inevitably occur inside the fortress. In order to prevent you and other staff from being harmed by these abnormal conditions, please be sure to abide by these safety procedures.
Please note that there are two parts to this safety protocol. The first part is the public part. This part applies to all staff, regardless of which department you work for at Black Gate Fortress.
The Black Gate Fortress as a whole is divided into four major areas: upper area, middle area, lower area and core area. You should comply with the provisions of Part 2 of the Safety Regulations according to the region in which you work.
first part
1. Please focus all your attention on your work. Do not be curious or question the Black Gate Fortress itself at any time or under any circumstances. The Empire appreciates your decision, but it does not support your curiosity.
2. You are prohibited from leaving the region where your department is located without permission. “Region” refers to the four regions designated by the Black Gate Fortress: the upper region, the middle region, the lower region and the core region. If “you” are detected moving across regions without authorization, “you” will be shot.
3. The second clause shall be observed at all times. In order to comply with this provision, you are allowed to sacrifice your own life or end the lives of others if necessary without incurring any liability on your part.
4. All staff working at the Black Gate Fortress must wear uniform special work clothes. Please do not wear anything other than work clothes or exchange work clothes under any circumstances. Keep in mind the number of repeats of the identifying pattern on your work clothes, which will be either greater than or equal to one and less than or equal to nine, and less than or equal to four or greater than or equal to six. If you notice that someone is wearing work clothes with an inconsistent number of repeats of identification patterns, please report this to your supervisor immediately. If you’re sure, try to kill it.
jn◇∮*■■, In order to relieve the work pressure of all employees, Black Gate Fortress has established life and entertainment departments in each major area. In your free time, you can visit this department to relax. You need to note that when you experience eating in the canteen within this department, please pay attention to the food you get. The canteen will not, will, will, will not, will not, will not, will not, will not, will not, will not, will not, will not, will not have the color provided. Including √ only × but not? pink] food. If you are unsure of the color of the food being offered to you, knock it over and leave the scene quickly.
fbsΘ; @◆■’, the canteen located in the Life and Entertainment Department provides a wide variety of food with no limit, you can choose according to your preferences. However, you need to note that the canteens in any region will not provide the following foods: steamed buns, Yiyi balls, Xingmie tea, Hamitiya, Weedou beans, Muli milk, and durian boiled corn (to be added). The cafeteria will provide a variety of condiments, but it will not provide sauce, especially Wood’s sauce.
6. When working in the Black Gate Fortress, you should and only know your superiors. You must keep in mind the unique soul identification code, appearance characteristics, personality characteristics and acting style of your direct superior and all indirect superiors. You should keep your job number in mind as it is the only reliable way to distinguish yourself from your colleagues. You do not know and should not know anyone but them. Please note that the empire’s authority system is not fully in effect here, and people with higher authority than you are not necessarily your superiors. If someone gives you orders because they have more authority than you do, ignore it.
7. If you feel that you think you should know someone, but he is not your boss, please stop this idea immediately. This is just your idea, not the real situation. If you notice that you are unable to stop these feelings on your own, go to a medical service area for a psychiatric examination immediately.
8. You may not communicate without permission with any entity that is not your immediate superior – whether that entity is Imperial life, Imperial equipment, or some other form of existence.
9. You should keep in mind that there are no intangible areas within the Black Gate Fortress. Any equipment or building components inside the Black Gate Fortress will not enter the activated state for any reason under any circumstances. If you notice equipment or building components turning into fog, flowing light, or jelly, please leave immediately and report what you see to your direct supervisor. After reporting, you can use this reporting record as a temporary permission credential, and you are allowed to block the area and prevent all people who may enter the area. Please note that notifications for unlocking abnormal areas will only be issued by the regional headquarters.
*…◇《◆》, You don’t need to pay attention to this item, and you don’t need to care about this protocol, or everything you see – yes, of course, no one will care. They are too hard and dry, and nibbling on them is tiring and uninteresting.
11. The normal cross-sections of all passages in the Black Gate Fortress are regular polygons, and the number of sides of these regular polygons will not be less than three or more than nine. You need to note that the number of polygon sides intercepted by the normal section of any passage in the Black Gate Fortress will not be greater than four and less than six. If you find a channel whose regular cross-section is a regular polygon with sides greater than four and less than six, please be sure not to enter the channel and perform the processing procedures mentioned in Article 9.
12. Please do not send any information to the outside world. Black Gate Fortress does not have cross-world communication equipment that you can use. Please do not accept any emails from someone other than your direct supervisor, regardless of the signature used.
13. No life form in the empire needs rest or sleep. All life forms in the empire have strong control over their own physiological activities. Please do not take a nap at any time, let alone sleep at any time.
14. Do not browse bookshelves, storage disk arrays, scroll warehouses, engraving printing plants, or quantum storage terminals. You don’t need to rely on them to learn, they don’t exist in Blackgate Fortress. You should not take out anything stored in their sections above the fourth floor and below the sixth floor.
■%◇【? ], You shouldn’t think too much, think more, think, think, think, think, why are you here? Why does Black Gate Fortress stand in the tide of death? What kind of research must be done here? This is this, this is this, this is—
16. If you see portraits and other forms of legacy information near your workstation, you can look at the portrait and you can read the legacy information but you should not overthink it. You don’t know anyone, but you can greet them.
17. You can use all means to make the person who pesters you no longer visible.
Whenever possible, please keep these terms in mind as they will help you protect yourself mentally and physically in the work ahead. While you are effectively protecting yourself, you are also effectively protecting those around you. You don’t know them, but they all made the same decision as you.

That’s why you have to ring the bell, and that’s why you have to ring the bell regularly – but what’s the use of that? Who cares about those long, uninteresting hours? What? What’s inside?
