Chapter 22: Taking Action
"Human players who only drink mineral water have been eliminated."
Accompanied by the cold prompt sound of the horror game.
The player's blood and flesh were scattered all over the ground.
Everyone looked dazed, and the conversation came to an abrupt end.
This scene happened so suddenly!
No one could react!
But the foreman ghost didn't care about all this. His ghost claws had already grabbed another player who had just spoken. He ignored his screams and continued to grab him and turned him into meat paste.
"Human player, Taoist Qingyun has been eliminated."
Now, all the players were frightened.
Some timid people screamed out loud, while others turned around and tried to run away in panic.
However, before these people could run far, they were directly killed by the ghost claws condensed by the foreman ghost.
The hall, which originally had a peaceful atmosphere, instantly turned into a battlefield.
The foreman, Ghost Yu, was on the stage with a faint smile on his face. He moved slowly and ruthlessly, harvesting the lives of human players like swatting flies.
These people chatted unscrupulously in front of him, the "leader", which triggered his conditions to kill.
The three guides, led by Zhang Wei, turned pale when they saw this scene.
I know something is wrong!
But they did not expect that the real murderous intent would erupt when the work was finished and the ghost coins were distributed.
It's too late now, there is no chance to make up for it.
The foreman ghost's strength is not something that the three of them can challenge.
"Human player, I am a doctor who has been eliminated."
"Human player, Wang Ziyun has been eliminated."
"Human player, the Forest Guardian has been eliminated."
…
More than forty human players were killed one after another by the foreman ghost. The faces of the survivors were filled with despair and fear, and some even had yellow liquid flowing out of their genitals.
They sat on the ground, staring at the hideous ghost claws in despair. It was like the incarnation of the god of death, ruthlessly reaping lives one after another.
They still haven't figured out the foreman ghost's motive for killing people.
I don’t know if I will be the next one to die.
Finally, when there were only about twenty players left, the foreman stopped. He looked at the blood-red hall in front of him and said with a look of enjoyment:
"Aren't you going to do anything yet?"
Is the foreman ghost forcing me to take action?
Lin Chen understood. He originally thought that the foreman ghost was venting his anger because of the bandage ghost's betrayal, but it turned out that the foreman ghost's real motive was here.
They are forcing him with the lives of these humans. As long as he resists, he will be actively offending the leader ghost, and then the leader ghost's claws will reach out to him first.
Lin Chen sighed, somewhat speechless.
Why would a cold-blooded ghost like you think that I should risk my life to save someone from your hands?
Now, as long as he holds on a little longer, drags out the time, and waits until night to catch some ghosts and sell them, his chances of winning will increase a lot.
And now if he is asked to give up himself for these people who have always been indifferent to him, then he would be really stupid.
Seeing Lin Chen sighing, the bandaged ghost in the pink sack thought that Lin Chen would not be able to hold back and became anxious on the spot.
"Don't attack. It's not time to get off work yet. He now has the power of the entire Haunted Restaurant. He has unlimited ghost power and is as powerful as a fierce god!"
"Calm down! Just hold on for a little longer, and the ghost supervisor will leave when it's time to get off work!"
"Even if he stays here by force, his strength will be greatly reduced! And he will lose the boost from the Haunted Restaurant."
"Just wait another hour, and the foreman ghost will be off work!"
The bandaged ghost's voice sounded in my ears, her tone was hurried and full of intense tension.
When facing Lin Chen, she had no right to choose, so she was forced to board Lin Chen's boat, but now Lin.
If Chen had a conflict with the foreman ghost, she would still be dead.
No one can defeat the Foreman Ghost during the day!
Lin Chen remained silent, just looking at the foreman ghost indifferently.
At this moment, the three guides were stunned when they heard the words of the leader ghost.
Why not take action yet?
Who are you talking to?
With the three of us?
Will our attack be effective? Can we defeat you?
The guide Zhang Wei said: "This ghost is fishing to force us to take action. Everyone calm down."
Guide Xu Qian: "What's the point of him luring us? In the eyes of a being like him, we are no different from those novice players."
Guide Li Qun: "But besides us, there are only novice players here. Is there an enemy here? Impossible. After the dungeon is opened, the Haunted Restaurant will become an independent place. How can any ghost come in?"
Guide Xu Qian: "Don't you know about the existence of the Boundary Breaking Talisman? Maybe his enemy used the Boundary Breaking Talisman to force his way into this instance?"
Guide Zhang Wei: "Impossible, you know, the people he is killing now are all humans, and the fish he is fishing can only be humans!"
The three of them discussed it in the player channel, and they were all a little confused.
The foreman ghost waited for a moment, and seeing no movement, his expression began to change slightly. Then he gritted his teeth and continued to kill people.
The ferocious and huge ghost claws were wreaking havoc in the field, and the number of human players continued to decrease.
twenty.
nineteen.
eighteen.
…
In the end, including Lin Chen and three guides, there were only sixteen human players left.
"I didn't expect that there are cold-blooded people like you among humans. Can you really watch all of your kind die?"
"All the human players here spoke when I distributed ghost coins, so I can kill them all."
Guide Zhang Wei: "Who is he talking to? Is he talking to one of us? Is he really talking to me?"
You are a hook!
Although Xu Qian and Li Qun were also surprised and confused, they were too lazy to respond to Zhang Wei's words.
This guy takes himself too seriously. What does a mere 100 ghost powers mean to the leader ghost? Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?
Just when the three were at a loss, the foreman ghost's claws reached out to another human player.
By now, the foreman ghost, who had been calm and composed, was getting a little anxious.
The reason why he was so furious and eager to force Lin Chen out was definitely not just because Lin Chen had captured dozens of his ghost employees, but because he vaguely sensed a hint of threat from Lin Chen.
Moreover, this sense of threat is gradually growing as more and more human players die!
"Why exactly? Where does the threat come from? Is this human really that powerful? If so, why is he still forbearing? What is he waiting for?"
Lin Chen had been in a state of breath concealment, and the foreman ghost had no idea of Lin Chen's depth.
The leader ghost's hands continued to move, and the ghost claws closed again, and another human died in its grasp.
At this moment, he looked at Lin Chen, who was standing there indifferently and just looking at him coldly, and the inexplicable panic in his heart became even worse.
"Why doesn't he worry at all? Why!"
"Where does this confidence come from? Damn it! What on earth is this human delaying? Waiting for my off-duty time?"
"But after I leave, I can continue to target him the next day. If he gives one more bad review, he will lose the protection of the horror game. He can only drag it out for one night at most..."
Thinking of this, the foreman ghost had an idea.
At night... the ghost players who were killed... killed forty-six ghost players instantly...
A flash of inspiration came into his mind, and he vaguely understood Lin Chen's intention.
"I see. Are you planning to make some kind of sacrifice? If you don't take action now, do you plan to continue catching ghosts at night and then make sacrifices to gain enough power to kill me?"
The foreman ghost suddenly shouted loudly.
Even the movements of his hands stopped, and he stared at Lin Chen in the crowd without any concealment.
At this moment, the surviving humans finally knew who the foreman ghost had been talking to.
They followed the leader ghost's gaze and looked into the crowd.
"How can it be?"
"It's him?"
The whole audience was shocked.
After seeing Lin Chen, the surviving human players were stunned, as if they had seen something incredible.
In particular, Zhang Wei, Xu Qian and the other three guides looked at each other at the same time, with an indescribable shock in their eyes.
Lin Chen was also surprised. This foreman was not just smart, but a little too smart.
Although the foreman ghost was talking about sacrifice, it was different from his plan to catch ghosts and sell them in exchange for the magic coins for the lottery.
But in terms of effect, they are indeed similar.
Since the foreman ghost had already said it, Lin Chen no longer hid it. Lin Chen walked forward and said slowly:
"You are quite good at guessing."
The foreman, Ghost Zhang Kuang, laughed loudly and said, "You can't do it. As long as I am here, you can't sacrifice the ghost player again. Even when it's time to get off work, I can still stay in the restaurant. At that time, I will keep a close eye on you. If you make any unusual movements, I can kill you!"
Lin Chen smiled: "Then you can give it a try."
The foreman ghost sneered, then opened his mouth and sucked, and all the human flesh and blood on the ground began to gather towards his mouth.
This kind of fresh flesh and blood is the greatest tonic for him, and it is also mixed with the fear left by humans. As the flesh and blood and fear are swallowed, the foreman ghost's breath begins to rise continuously.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chen's eyes fixed. He really didn't expect that the foreman ghost's strength could become even stronger!
"He has already reached the limit of Red Clothes, how can he still increase his strength?"
"Is he going to break through the evil spirit just like this?"
Lin Chen finally hesitated. The leader ghost's strength was growing rapidly. If he dragged on , the situation would probably change!
The greedy foreman ghost continued to kill humans. While devouring flesh and fear, he stretched out his ghost claws to grab a human player.
And this player is just a kid around fifteen years old.
Everyone turned their heads away, unable to bear to look at it.
But in the eyes of the foreman ghost, there is no difference between humans’ age, they are all nutritious flesh and blood!
The ghost claw wrapped the child, and the foreman ghost was about to activate the ghost claw.
Lin Chen's eyes flashed and he finally moved. His figure flashed out, as fast as a ghost. He quickly came to the huge ghost claw and punched it.
Suddenly, countless cracks appeared on the ghost claws, like a spider web, extending from the point where the fist hit to the surrounding areas.
"boom!"
A loud bang!
The ghost claw exploded like shattered glass.
Countless fragments turned into faint light points and dissipated in the air, revealing a child among them who was crying and extremely frightened.
"I can't go on like this."
Lin Chen used his internal energy to punch the foreman ghost.
The foreman ghost immediately stretched out his hand to block this invisible force.
However, his behavior of absorbing human flesh and blood came to an abrupt end.
Lin Chen sighed, his face full of regret, but if he continued to let the foreman ghost kill people, no one in the entire restaurant would be spared except him and the three protectors. And at that time, if the foreman ghost really broke through to the level of a fierce god, the danger level would definitely become higher.
