Chapter 21: An explosion breaks out in silence, and the murder begins!
When I returned to the store, I saw many players looking around the restaurant in shock, and various player messages kept popping up in the player chat channel.
I am a PhD student: "Oh no, there is going to be an earthquake in this place."
King: "What's going on? This is too scary."
The boy on horseback: "It seems the ghosts around me were also frightened by the noise just now."
The guide Zhang Wei: "What a powerful ghost power! Everyone be careful! I said before that the previous abnormality is not a good sign. Something big is likely to happen in the Haunted Restaurant!"
Although the entire restaurant was shaking just now, most players no longer cared about what Zhang Wei said.
After all, Zhang Wei always looked overly nervous, which had already exhausted the players who originally believed in Zhang Wei. Now, after hearing what Zhang Wei said and seeing that the Haunted Restaurant only shook for a moment and then returned to calm, they became even more indifferent.
Captain Xu Qian was also shocked by the abnormality in the restaurant at first, but when she saw Lin Chen walking in from the door carelessly, she couldn't help but get angry and walked towards Lin Chen aggressively.
When Lin Chen saw Xu Qian, his expression eased a little, and he waved his hand and said , "We are one family, no need to greet us."
Xu Qian's momentum froze on the spot, and her face darkened as she said, "Who is going to greet you? Are you seriously ill? Don't you know how dangerous ghosts are? Why are you going out with ghosts?"
She was completely speechless about Lin Chen. It was bad enough that he just spoke incoherently, but he actually sent a ghost out of the store. Are you crazy?
Lin Chen said mysteriously, "Sending ghosts out is a better way to serve. You see, in human society, when someone sends you out for dinner, it also shows the other person's enthusiasm. So I just had an idea and carried out the service to the end, and it really won praise."
Although the ghosts in this haunted restaurant are not quite right.
But do you really think this is human society?
Will ghosts give you a compliment for your attitude?
Xu Qian's forehead was full of black lines. Although many human players had relaxed a little in the past two days because of the "friendly" attitude of the ghosts, there were almost no people like Lin Chen who did not take the ghosts seriously at all.
"Everyone present has received positive reviews. It has nothing to do with whether you send the ghost out or not. Learn to behave yourself from now on. The shaking in the restaurant just now was very unusual. If something happens, no one will be able to save you."
After saying that, Xu Qian turned and left.
This is all she can do. If Lin Chen doesn't know what's best for him and commits suicide, it will have nothing to do with her.
Moreover, the abnormal shaking of the restaurant really made the guide, who had originally relaxed, feel a little gloomy.
Lin Chen looked at Xu Qian's back and muttered silently:
"What a troublesome and aloof little girl."
Fortunately, Lin Chen said this in his heart, otherwise if Xu Qian heard it, she would probably turn around and fight with Lin Chen immediately.
Lin Chen touched his nose and entered the store.
Soon, it's time to get off work.
The day's work is finally over.
As if the shaking of the restaurant just now had never happened, everyone walked towards the staff hall, talking and laughing.
The three guides gathered together at some point, with serious expressions. Unlike the other new players, they all thought that this shaking was really unusual and were very alert.
Soon Lin Chen and others entered the staff hall.
I saw that in the hall, the foreman ghost in a red suit was already standing there.
As soon as Lin Chen entered, the foreman ghost's eyes were fixed on him.
The foreman ghost looked calm, as if nothing had happened.
But his eyes almost never left Lin Chen, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Lin Chen was equally unyielding and looked at the foreman ghost as if he were his prey. He was not afraid of angering the foreman ghost because according to the rules of the horror game, the foreman ghost could not just attack him out of nowhere.
Seeing this, the foreman ghost sneered, but did not attack. Instead, he shifted his gaze and looked at everyone and said:
"Next, we will start distributing today's performance."
"number 1……"
At the same time, one by one, players, following the call of the foreman ghost, went on stage to receive today's ghost coins.
These guys are nothing like the doldrums of yesterday.
They all looked joyful.
Because none of them received a bad review, everyone received two or three hundred ghost coins.
According to what Zhang Wei said, the exchange rate of ghost currency into RMB is 1 to 100.
So they earned 20,000 to 30,000 yuan that day!
You know, most of these players are ordinary people. Twenty or thirty thousand RMB is already a lot for them, and this is just one day.
The thriller game will continue for five more days.
After five days, we can at least make more than 100,000.
Plus the final settlement reward...
Money can move people’s hearts!
Thinking about the income, everyone's fear of horror games has been reduced a lot without realizing it, and they have even begun to look forward to tomorrow's ghost coins.
But what no one noticed was that there were some ghosts hiding in a corner of the hall, staring at the human players in the hall.
The young ghost, the tough guy ghost, and the chef ghost are all among them.
When they looked at these human players, their faces were full of greed and sarcasm.
But when these ghosts' eyes swept over Lin Chen, they became very fearful.
They have already received the news that before the Bandage Ghost rebelled, he had already exposed Lin Chen's identity as the Ghost Killer.
Then, you won’t have to worry about stepping on landmines anymore.
All you have to do is avoid Lin Chen and not offend him. As for other players...
Just wait until tomorrow's work starts and then slowly clean up.
After being frightened for so long, these ghosts also need to vent.
Moreover, in their minds, it is still unknown whether Lin Chen can survive tonight, and the foreman ghost will not give up easily!
Employees continue to receive performance benefits.
More than half of the people have already received today's ghost coins. So far, no player has received a bad review, until the foreman ghost suddenly looked a little playful, looked at Lin Chen and said:
"No. 59, you received two negative reviews and one positive review. In the final settlement, you will not receive any Ghost Coin rewards today, and you will have to pay back 100 Ghost Coins."
The first person who received a bad review appeared. This sudden situation startled all the happy players and they all turned their eyes to Lin Chen.
Some people looked puzzled, while others were calm and indifferent.
I really don't understand how anyone could get a bad review for such a simple game.
When the players who were waiters saw Lin Chen, they tended to think that it was reasonable.
In their eyes, many of Lin Chen's actions were purely suicidal, and it was reasonable for him to receive bad reviews.
You can't just take advantage of the ghost just because he treats you well.
Wang Hong and others, who had no ghost coins to eat yesterday, couldn't help but gloat when they saw Lin Chen, who originally received the most ghost coins but received two bad reviews today.
"Today it's your turn and you have no money to buy food. What a twist of fate."
"We don't help each other in normal times. When we get into trouble, it's too late to ask for help."
"See what he does today."
Some people whispered that even though the foreman ghost dressed in red was present, they were still not too scared.
The kindness of the ghosts and the heavy ghost coins in their hands have made them forget the environment they are in.
Throw away your initial cautious attitude.
Once someone started talking, many people immediately started chatting.
They all had their own topics to talk about, and their voices were getting louder and louder. The atmosphere went from quiet to noisy, and there was a vague feeling that it was getting out of control.
This scene, if it happened in a classroom on campus, would be a very common occurrence.
As soon as the teacher left, the classroom immediately became chaotic.
But this is a horror game!
It's a haunted restaurant with many evil spirits!
It is not a lively classroom with the sound of reading, but a haunted restaurant with blood and corpses flying everywhere, and ghosts always wanting to kill people!
Those who lose themselves in the deceptive behavior of ghosts will eventually be punished by ghosts.
The foreman ghost sneered, he looked at Lin Chen with a teasing and provocative look, then glanced at the crowd below and licked the corner of his mouth with his scarlet tongue.
Lin Chen was stunned. What does this guy mean?
However, Zhang Wei, the strongest among the guides, reacted quickly. He always felt that today's ghosts were too abnormal, so after entering the hall, he did not let down his guard and kept observing his surroundings. At this moment, he happened to see the expression of the foreman ghost.
Suddenly my heart was shaken and there was a buzzing sound in my head.
not good!
"Shut up, everyone!"
"It's over, stop talking! Shut up!"
Zhang Wei spoke anxiously in the human player channel.
But no one responded. Some people didn’t see it, while others didn’t take it seriously.
They just thought Zhang Wei was making a fuss out of nothing. After all, throughout the day, as the guide, Zhang Wei was seen by many people as being neurotic and suffering from paranoia .
Many of them became disappointed with Zhang Wei, the guide they had originally relied on, and thought that he was too cautious and was not as relaxed as the novices like them in the horror game.
Naturally, no one responded to him immediately, and many people were still chatting among themselves.
At this time, the foreman ghost had begun to emanate ghost power fluctuations.
Now even Zhang Qian and Li Qun noticed something was wrong. Their faces suddenly changed and they also started shouting in the player channel.
However, just as Zhang Qian and Li Qun's message was sent, the foreman moved suddenly, raised his arm and opened his palm slightly.
A black ghost claw with ghost power appeared out of nowhere and grabbed a vegetable washer who was chatting happily with the person next to him.
Before the man could react, the foreman clenched his ghost hand and controlled the ghost claw to crush the man into meat paste.
Blood spurted out in the air, as if it was raining blood, and all the players around were covered in this man's flesh and blood.
For a moment, the whole place was silent.
