Chapter 16: All the weirdness is gone?
The next morning.
Many human players walked out of their rooms on time before 9 o'clock.
Gathered in the dormitory corridor.
After a night's rest, everyone looked a little better, but still looked a little pale.
I think living in a haunted restaurant must have always been an .
After greeting each other, everyone went downstairs in groups.
Everyone's work has been assigned on the first day, and now all they have to do is continue with yesterday's work.
Lin Chen followed the crowd, walking slowly and leisurely, while listening to the conversations of the surrounding players.
"Did you hear any knocks on the door yesterday?"
"No, I was very nervous at first, but I didn't hear any knocks on the door, so I got too nervous and fell asleep."
For most players, last night was very peaceful.
This situation has an indescribable weirdness in the horror game.
Zhang Wei, Xu Qian and others looked at each other with serious expressions.
As a copy for novice players, information about the Haunted Restaurant had long been placed on the organization's meeting table, and they were well aware of some of the dangerous mechanisms in the copy.
Ghosts will knock on the door at night, and the player will die if he opens the door.
This is the rule that is written in emphasis.
However, no noise was heard last night, and most players were not knocked on the door by ghosts.
This gave the three experienced guides a sense of conspiracy.
It's like the calm before the storm.
At this time, other players were still discussing.
"Neither do I. It seems that the Haunted Restaurant is not as dangerous as people say. The customers are nice, and there are no ghosts to disturb us at night. As long as we don't make any mistakes, there will be no danger."
The person who said this was a waiter.
Upon hearing this, the other vegetable washers and cleaners all responded with a "hehe".
It's only the second day and already the Versailles thing has begun?
Not scary, how did the human players die on the first day? Those ghost chefs are more difficult to deal with than each other, so how come attitude is good?
The vegetable washers and cleaners couldn't help but feel sad.
Although last night was very quiet.
But then we still have to deal with those ghost chefs and the ghost employees who supervise their cleanliness and hygiene.
None of these ghosts are friendly. They will pick on you even if you haven't made any mistakes.
The other two teams simultaneously distanced themselves from the waiters.
"Didn't you guys hear the knock at the door? I heard it."
Someone said so.
Everyone looked over there.
This is a skinny young man, and also a player who lives in the same room with Wang Hong.
When he saw everyone looking at him, he was moved. The feeling of being stared at by the crowd actually made him feel very happy.
As the team leader, Zhang Wei was the first to ask, "Was there a knock on the door? Why did they only knock on your room? Did you hear any other sounds besides the knock on the door?"
The skinny man nodded and said, "We also heard the ghost's voice. The knock on the door started with an old man's voice. He pretended to be Wang Hong's grandfather. His voice was so bewitching that we couldn't help but believe it and went to open the door. But it turned out that Wang Hong's grandfather was still alive. After Wang Hong reacted, we woke up. After we knew it was a ghost outside the door, we didn't believe anything he said."
The skinny man was talking very excitedly and didn't notice that Wang Hong beside him had a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
In his eyes, everything the skinny man said was nonsense.
Lin Chen almost laughed out loud.
This is talking about the old ghost.
No wonder the voice revealed a hint of temptation, but Wang Hong and others did not open the door.
It turned out that the old man's ghost disguised himself as someone's living relative, but his plan failed from the very beginning.
At this moment, Zhang Wei, Xu Qian and others felt more and more weird.
If a ghost appeared, why did it only knock on one door?
Even Zhang Wei, the strongest of the three protectors, couldn't figure it out.
His expression was very solemn, and he said: "Everyone, don't take it lightly. This may not be a good omen. The cruelty of the ghost... Well, except for the players who are waiters, the other players should have felt it."
"We must be extremely vigilant to face the various possibilities that may happen next. From my understanding of horror games, the calmer it is, the more dangerous it is!"
Everyone's heart trembled and a chill ran down their backs.
Especially the players from the vegetable washer and cleaner teams, their faces were bitter and they all looked extremely nervous.
The players who worked as waiters were also worried, but after all, they had not encountered any danger yesterday, so the psychological pressure was not too great. Compared with the people in the other two teams, they performed better.
After everyone reached the first floor, they separated completely and each performed their duties.
Lin Chen and other waiters came to the first floor lobby, ready to start today's work.
Under the leadership of Xu Qian, everyone stood in a row, quietly waiting for customers to arrive.
The work was about to begin. Thinking of facing the ghost again, everyone stopped talking and looked nervous. The whole restaurant became very quiet.
Apart from breathing, there was no other sound.
Although Lin Chen was not as silent as the other players, he also did not make any unnecessary movements.
During working hours, he had no choice but to follow the rules of the game and continue to act as a waiter. If he behaved abnormally now, he would probably become the target of public criticism immediately.
Not only will his strength be exposed in front of other players, he will also be targeted by the organization behind Zhang Qian and others. The ghosts in the restaurant, including the foreman ghost, will probably swarm over him.
Half an hour later, there was still no one else in the restaurant except Lin Chen and the other humans.
No one came to the door.
Where are the ghost customers?
One player asked in a low voice: "Why are there no customers coming? Do ghosts only come to eat at noon?"
Xu Qian's expression had become very strange, but she hadn't said anything yet.
In this environment, many novice players became increasingly panicked, and some even had sweat on their foreheads.
If a ghost really came to my house and I started working, I might not be so scared, but this kind of waiting in vain is the most torturous...
…
At this moment, when Li Qun and his team of vegetable washers came to the kitchen, they were all stunned.
Where is the chef?
Is it possible that the chef hasn't started work yet?
There were more than a dozen chef ghosts in the kitchen, but now none of them were there.
There was no one else in the entire kitchen except for them, the human players.
Who will assign tasks to them if the chef is not here?
Also, what if the customer orders food now?
Without a chef, who would cook? Or no one would dare to cook in a place like this.
Not to mention the novice players, even the guide Li Qun was confused.
Seeing everyone's different expressions, he coughed lightly and said to comfort them, "Don't be nervous, the chefs should not be at work yet, everyone should take a rest first and wait."
Everyone was uneasy, but they had no choice but to rest on the spot.
…
On the other side, the team of cleaners led by Zhang Wei were all dumbfounded.
Where are the ghosts watching over us?
Without the supervision of ghosts, how can the work we do count?
…
At this time, whether it was customer ghosts, chef ghosts or supervisor ghosts, they all gathered on the fourth floor of the restaurant.
They opened all the dormitory doors and were all frightened when they saw the traces of brutal fighting and dried dark brown ghost blood in the rooms.
The foreman ghost stood among the group of ghosts. When he saw the scene before him, his face turned pale!
"What did you hear last night?"
The foreman ghost asked.
A burly ghost with several scars on his face stood up.
He was muscular, with a skull tattoo on his body and chest hair growing between his muscles, looking very fierce.
However, his expression at this moment was filled with undisguised fear, and he said weakly: "Well... I didn't hear any sound, but Qingxiu Gui said she heard footsteps."
Upon hearing this, the foreman ghost turned his gaze towards the Qingxiu ghost.
Qingxiu Ghost is a female ghost with a pretty face. She is the only ghost among all the ghosts present, except for the foreman ghost, who does not look so scary.
She has a petite figure and a pretty face. Except for two vampire-like fangs, her other features are no different from those of a living person.
When Qingxiu Ghost saw the leader ghost looking over, he said hurriedly, "Actually, I'm not sure it was footsteps. Maybe I was too scared and had hallucinations. I scared myself."
The foreman ghost couldn't hold it anymore and roared, "You are a ghost, are you really so cowardly? You can't even mishear a voice?"
The green and handsome ghost shrank his neck. All the ghosts were afraid of the leader ghost in red clothes. After all, he was the boss of the dungeon and had extraordinary strength.
But compared with the ghost killer last night, she suddenly felt that the red-clothed peak leader ghost looked quite friendly. At least he would not hurt them. She couldn't help but grow a little braver and couldn't help but reply:
"That's the ghost killer who killed forty-six ghost players in an instant. Who wouldn't be panicked? Look at the fierce ghost, such a sturdy man, who said last night that he stuffed his feet back into the quilt."
The foreman ghost couldn't help but look at the burly man with a scar on his face who had spoken before.
The fierce male ghost laughed awkwardly and said, "I just felt that the atmosphere was too tense last night, so I livened it up a bit."
