Chapter 49: This is a horror instance, and you’ve actually found outside help?
"How... how should I use the head if I take it home? As a decoration? That’s absolutely insane!"
A wave of goosebumps spread across Alexander instantly. The thought of hanging a human head on his body was absolutely revolting!
"No...no need! Better leave it for brother Skin-peeling Ghost to use!"
Alexander retreated step by step, waving his hands in fright.
"Serves you right for flirting with everyone!"
The Head-carrying Ghost took back her head, disdainfully glancing at Alexander, "Consider this a lesson. Stop sweet-talking all the time, it’s not a good look."
"Yes! Yes! It’s all my fault!"
Alexander nodded again and again, he was completely convinced this time.
...
While everyone inside was having a great time, the original restaurant manager hadn’t left. Instead, he had hidden in the backyard. Hearing the occasional laughter coming from the restaurant, he was instantly puzzled.
What was there to laugh about? Had the poor ghosts completely let loose now that he wasn’t around?
"Fine by me!"
A smile appeared on the manager’s old face, he muttered smugly, "If they wreak havoc, I’ll have an excuse to get rid of that nosy guy! I hope that man can be a little tougher and not let those poor ghosts torture him to death!"
Thinking about it, the manager felt it was unlikely. Those poor ghosts wouldn’t let go of anything that benefited them. Wouldn’t they seize this opportunity to kill Alexander, a human being?
"I hope they don’t go too far. Otherwise, even if I find another candidate as a scapegoat, I won’t get off easy when the ghost lord behind the hotel blames me!"
While the manager was thinking about it, a ghost employee who was a kitchen hand came over carrying a bucket of water.
"You, come here! I need to ask you something!"
The manager quickly stopped him and asked, "What’s happening in there? Is the restaurant in chaos? Has Alexander been dismembered by those poor ghosts?"
"No!" The ghost employee shook his head and said, "The deputy manager is having a nice chat with them. He even helped them order food just now, they should be eating by now!"
Having a nice chat?
The manager was stunned, but he quickly reacted. It seemed that those poor ghosts still had some rules. They hadn’t created a mess, they were just planning to have a free meal.
This is perfect, he can use it as an excuse to punish and torment Alexander, and also explain to the ghost master, it’s perfect!
A smile appeared on the manager’s face, and he instructed, "Go and watch. When they don’t have money to pay the bill and try to dine and dash, come and tell me!"
"How could they not have money to pay?" The ghost employee wondered, "They settled the bill before the food even arrived, and even gave a generous tip!"
They settled the bill? What’s even more infuriating, those poor ghosts even left a tip!
"How could this happen! How is this possible! They actually paid! And there’s even a tip!" The manager was incredulous to the extreme.
"Of course!" The ghost employee took it for granted, "They were all invited by the deputy manager, they definitely won’t dine and dash!"
"What did you say?" The manager’s eyes widened, asking the ghost employee to recount the events.
Although the ghost employee didn’t listen to the entire conversation, he did hear the friendly chit-chat between Alexander and these ghosts, including their plans to back up Alexander and stay here for a couple of days.
A couple of days!
By the time the instance is over, how is he going to kill Alexander!
"It’s unfair! This is a horror instance, and you’ve actually found outside help, it’s unbelievable!"
The manager felt immeasurable hatred in his heart! He never dreamed that Alexander had such a trick up his sleeve. A newbie actually knows so many big shots from the Ghost Apartment, this guy is too scary.
"No way! I must find an opportunity to kill him! Otherwise, when he grows up, will he let me go?"
If previously he wanted to kill Alexander because Alexander was nosy and had replaced the prey he had his eye on, this time, it was to kill the danger in the cradle. However, with those poor ghosts out there, who would dare to stir up trouble?
While others see these poor ghosts as aggressive because of their poverty, the manager knows all the twists and turns. Even if the ghost lord comes back, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to these twenty-plus ghosts all at once.
Killing one or two would be fine, but all of them? Who would pay back their mortgage?
"What other methods are there... what methods can silently kill him!" The manager’s mind spun rapidly, and suddenly it seemed as if he thought of something, he asked the ghost employee, "Are those guys in the back still there?"
The ghost employee seemed to have heard something terrifying, his face turned pale and his legs trembled, "They’re there!"
"Good!"
The manager slapped his thigh excitedly, "You go and call Alexander over, say that as a manager he has the task of patrolling the surroundings, let him go to our backyard for a walk, it’s the manager’s duty! Remember, don’t let him bring anyone, the backyard is off-limits to outsiders!"
The ghost employee naturally didn’t dare to say anything, and hurriedly ran to the front hall, called Alexander to the kitchen, and relayed the manager’s instructions.
Alexander would naturally not agree to something that obviously looked like a trap.
But before he could even open his mouth, the instance prompt sounded in his ear first:
"Congratulations to the chosen one, Alexander, for triggering a hidden task. Patrol around the outer wall of the backyard once, complete the task and receive one Demon Upgrading Pill as a reward! Do you accept?"
Hidden task!
Unexpectedly, he encountered a hidden task in his first official instance!
"I accept!"
Without hesitation, Alexander immediately chose to accept the hidden mission. Such an opportunity is very rare!
Besides, this task doesn’t pose any danger to him. Alexander has the strength of an evil spirit level, he’s not afraid of ordinary little ghosts.
Moreover, he has Su Rong to rely on. The backyard is off-limits, he can’t bring the Head-holding Ghost and the others there, but he can pass through the courtyard and summon Su Rong!
With a fierce ghost protecting him, It will be safe.
"Um... manager..." Seeing Alexander seeming unconcerned, the ghost employee was a little hesitant.
Despite having been a manager for only a short time, his skills and social prowess weren’t just a skill, they were ingrained in his bones. A favorability of thirty points was enough for the ghost employee to reveal some things.
But Alexander didn’t ask, he took out a cigarette and handed it over, patting his shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, I understand everything! It’s okay if you don’t want to talk or don’t dare to.
You’ll always be my best employee! I’ll go take a walk, and if I... sigh! If I don’t come back, I’m afraid this store will have to rely on excellent employees like you!"
Hearing these words and receiving the cigarette, the ghost employee’s eyes turned red and he said with trembling voice, "Manager! You are the real manager in my heart! I have to tell you, this is a trap! That old man has ill intentions!"
"What do you mean?" The reward prompt for reaching a favorability of sixty was already coming in his mind, Alexander was delighted inside, but on the surface, he looked confused.
"Outside that wall, a few strong ghosts arrived a few days ago! Each one of them is formidable, and one evil spirit level employee has already died out there. The old bastard went out once himself and almost didn’t come back!
We were supposed to report to the Ghost Lord, but the Ghost Lord has more important things to deal with lately, and hasn’t had time to come back and handle it!"
"That strong? Okay, I got it, you go back first!" Alexander frowned, but still sent the ghost employee away.
Now that he had accepted the mission, it was natural that he wouldn’t back down. Even if he couldn’t beat them, with Su Rong around, it should be no problem to run back!
Thinking this way, Alexander was still very cautious, taking a look around with every step, always ready to summon Su Rong.
Unexpectedly, the mission went exceptionally smoothly, and Alexander quickly made a round and was about to go back.
Just as his hand was about to touch the front door, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Stop!"
They found him!
Alexander sighed, although he was only two steps away, it was not necessarily impossible for the other party to catch up.
Fortunately, he was already very close to the entrance, as long as Su Rong came out to block, he could get in.
The only regret was that it interrupted Su Rong’s state of consolidating her realm, and he didn’t know if it would have a negative effect on her.
Although it was a bit regrettable, Alexander still made a decision, a black mark slowly appeared in the center of his brow. However, at this moment, a somewhat familiar, extremely excited and delighted voice sounded from behind,
"Tommy DeVito! Is that you Tommy DeVito?"
Alexander turned around sharply, his eyes instantly moist, "Jimmy Conway!"
