"despair--"
The electric lights hanging overhead were turned off promptly at six in the morning.
The human skin lantern placed on the wooden table glowed faintly in the darkness.
There was no light coming in from the window, and the whole world fell into dead silence.
The staff dormitories are simple and crude, like prison cells, with only one bed and one table, no more than ten square meters. The light of the human skin lantern covers every corner of the room.
After eating and drinking enough, Jiang Yao lay down on the single bed, listening to the precarious creaking sound from the foot of the old bed.
After being exhausted all night, she closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep when a cry suddenly came from outside the door.
"Uuuuuu——"
It was as high-pitched and thin as a cat's meow, and the sound penetrated her ears clearly. Even if she covered her ears, she could still hear it.
"Tsk."
Jiang Yao opened his heavy eyelids and stared at the ceiling aimlessly.
Because she often worked all night, she suffered from severe insomnia and neurasthenia, and would wake up at the slightest movement.
I've tried all kinds of sleeping pills, but they don't work at all.
So she usually has a particularly bad temper when she's sleeping.
"Ding--"
The moment she sat up, a system notification sounded in her head.
"Congratulations to the player for triggering the random mission: Help the poor ghost sister outside the door find the body."
"Failure Penalty: None"
"Completion reward: 100 thriller coins."
The rules of the employee dormitory are very clear. Players are not allowed to leave the dormitory at night. Once you leave, the death condition will be triggered.
If Jiang Yao heard about this mission before going to bed, he would definitely refuse.
But Jiang Yao, who suffered from severe insomnia and couldn't sleep due to being noisy, dropped his mental value to 50, which was the critical point of going crazy.
"I accept."
She lifted the quilt, her pupils were getting darker, her long shawl hair made her skin pale, and there was a greenish black patch under her eyelids, which were half drooped.
Jiang Yao walked to the door, reached out and opened the door directly.
The female ghost outside the door was still racking her brains to think of how to coax her out. She was caught off guard when she saw Jiang Yao's face full of resentment, and was so frightened that she forgot to say her lines.
"I, you..."
Jiang Yao held the human skin lantern and yawned. Without even looking at the female ghost who doubted his life, he said bluntly: "Tell me all your memories before your death."
Her attitude was too overbearing and coercive.
The delicate body of the female ghost in red trembled, and her cyan cheeks painted with white powder twisted a bit. The little bird stood beside her lovingly and whispered about her death.
She was still a young girl before her death. After her college entrance examination, a class reunion was held in this restaurant.
"At that time, I was still the beauty of the class. Many male classmates in the class liked me and secretly stuffed love letters in my drawer..."
Jiang Yao interrupted impatiently: "Tell me the important point!"
The female ghost in red was melancholy recalling the good old days. She stopped abruptly after hearing the words, and tightened her fingers on the clothes, with a look of grievance on her face.
She pursed her lips and continued.
But no more talking nonsense.
"I remember that I drank more water that night and went to the toilet several times. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and my house had an access control. I had to go back early. I was going to take a taxi home after going to the last toilet... But what happened next... Can not remember……"
Weigui will gradually forget what happened during his lifetime, and as time goes by, his memories of his lifetime will become less and less.
The female ghost in red who has been dead for ten years is one of the weird ghosts. She is formed by obsessions. The memories of her life will be repeated until her obsessions dissipate.
Jiang Yao smelled the cold and sticky mist in the air. The light emitted by the human skin lantern was only enough to protect her and prevent the gray mist from approaching her body.
Even so, she could still feel a few strands of mist that had turned into substance wrapping around her ankles like tentacle vines, infiltrating a biting and uncomfortable chill.
[HP: 30…27…25…]
Jiang Yao's health is declining rapidly, which shows how terrifying the gray fog is.
If players want to restore their health, they can only go to the player mall to buy health potions. Each item costs 50 points.
She bought one and her life points were fully restored.
[HP: 110/110]
This random mission reward is not worthwhile.
Let’s not mention the danger of opening the door and destroying the protection of the code. Let’s talk about the reward, a total of 100 thriller coins, which can be offset by two life potions.
"Take me to the bathroom." Jiang Yao looked at the mental value that had dropped to 40 points and said expressionlessly.
The female ghost in red is not afraid of humans.
After she became a ghost, she killed countless humans.
But at the first sight of Jiang Yao, the female ghost knew very well that she must not mess with this person, otherwise she would end up in a terrible end.
The tone of the command was devoid of emotion. The female ghost in red did not dare to complain and nodded her head to lead the way.
Time is 8 am.
The entire midnight restaurant was quiet, without a single figure, whether it was a monster or a human being.
The long lacquered corridor was soaked in gray mist, and the walls and floors were wet, as if they had been washed by sea water, and the moisture was wrapped in a disgusting fishy smell.
"This is the toilet."
The female ghost in red obviously didn't like the gray fog either. The ghosts became more and more transparent, accelerated their speed, and stopped in front of a ladies' toilet exclusively for guests.
The human skin lantern held tightly in Jiang Yao's hand was a little heavy, so he changed it to a handheld hand, and his eyes fell into the dark and gray toilet door.
"You know this is here, why don't you go in and take a look?" she asked the female ghost who refused to take a step closer to the toilet.
The shoulders of the female ghost in red trembled, and in the dim yellow candlelight, the mottled blood stains on her neck and the red needlework marks were vaguely visible.
Her head shook as if it would fall off her neck any second.
"me……"
He stuttered and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Jiang Yao saw her fear.
No longer forcing her to speak, Jiang Yao walked directly to the girls' toilet.
The guest toilet is quite ornately built, with marble floors, walls lined with gold bricks, elegant oil paintings hanging, and a round arched mirror occupying the entire wash basin wall.
"Giggle——"
There was noise in the single room at the end of the toilet.
It's the sound of chewing.
When the light from the lantern shone through, she saw streams of blood seeping from the tiles on the steps of the single room.
And the sound of chewing became clearer and clearer, as if it was ringing above her head.
Jiang Yao did not raise his head, but put the human skin lantern away, fearing that it would be extinguished.
After doing this, she walked to the bleeding single room, raised her foot and kicked it hard.
In the toilet door that was kicked open, there was a corpse that had just died. A gash was torn open in the abdomen, and the internal organs were missing. All the meat on the head had been eaten away, leaving only a pair of round and bulging eyes, horrified. Staring outside.
Jiang Yao recognized the identity of the corpse at a glance.
They are the players who received food together at the window before.
"call--"
"call--"
A clammy breath blew into my ears.
The chill covered her body like maggots on her tarsus.
Something is behind her.
