After letting the vending machine treat him, Qin Nuo went back to bed early.
Pinocchio said that the punishment would be announced tomorrow. According to my guess, it must be related to tomorrow's work.
No matter what, I won't let myself have an easy time!
With the worst-case scenario in mind, Qin Nuo fell asleep.
The next morning.
The alarm clock ghost doll's terrifying cry woke Qin Nuo up.
When he woke up, he found that Liu Jiaqi was already up. Qin Nuo saw that she looked a little tired: "You didn't sleep last night?"
"I didn't sleep well. I had a nightmare. I dreamed that... you couldn't come back today, and I was the only one sleeping in the dormitory." Liu Jiaqi said, hugging her knees.
It’s not that she fell in love with Qin Nuo.
But in this helpless and terrifying world, Qin Nuo became her only support and spiritual pillar.
"You must be suffering from insomnia too, right? After all, Pinocchio is going to punish you today." Liu Jiaqi said.
This is like the last night of a death row inmate, who can sleep?
"No, I slept soundly." Qin Nuo stretched.
“…”
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Qin Nuo got up and opened the door. There was no one outside. He looked down and found that it was Pinocchio.
"Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"You just have to keep up." Pinocchio was very direct and turned away.
Liu Jiaqi hid behind, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Qin Nuo nodded to her and followed her without saying anything more.
He was also very nervous.
What happened yesterday was indeed a big deal, but the main conflict was not with him.
Qin Nuo finally understood.
They just need someone to take the blame.
It seems that there is no one else who can take the scapegoat except him, a humble human being.
Following Pinocchio, we soon arrived at a kitchen room.
Pinocchio handed a piece of paper to Qin Nuo.
Qin Nuo took it and opened the note. There was only an address and something called "Ingredient No. 8" on it.
What does this mean?
Qin Nuo was confused.
"This is your punishment, and this is your job for today."
"Next, you need to leave the restaurant, follow the address, find the supermarket above, and bring the ingredient named No. 8 back to the restaurant."
"This way, you can make up for your mistakes and get a handsome reward," said Pinocchio.
Buy ingredients!
Qin Nuo looked up and asked, "I'll go by myself?"
"Go by yourself!" Pinocchio nodded his wooden head.
Qin Nuo suddenly sneered: "Tell me the truth, how dangerous is this?"
"Any former employee who caused the restaurant to lose money will have to buy ingredients back for the restaurant to make up for the losses."
"You are the 55th. Of the 54 who went before, 5 came back alive."
The survival rate is less than 10%!
"What happens if I refuse?"
"Destroy them on the spot," said Pinocchio.
"I advise you to choose the latter. If you resist, you won't have a chance of survival with whatever strength you have left."
"Follow the rules of our restaurant, and you'll at least have a chance of coming back alive!"
"Ingredient No. 8 is very important to us."
"That's a necessary ingredient for a recipe for a distinguished guest on the second floor!"
"If you bring it back, your employee term will end early, and you can also get a position above supervisor and be protected by the restaurant."
This reward is already very tempting!
But the more tempting it is, the more dangerous and difficult it is!
"What else can I do except agree with both hands and feet?" Qin Nuo shrugged.
If you don't agree, die now.
Agreed, it feels like a slow death!
Bang!!
Just as he finished speaking, the door opened.
It was not yet time to open for business. It was gray outside and a biting cold wind was blowing in.
"Let's go."
Qin Nuo took the note and said, "It says that I can take the bus to my destination, but the restaurant won't reimburse the bus fare?"
Pinocchio made no answer.
"Well, you still have to pay for the fare yourself."
Wrapped in a thin shirt, Qin Nuo walked out of the back door of the restaurant.
The moment he came out, the door closed instantly.
Qin Nuo looked up at the gray sky.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen what the horror world is like with my own eyes, right?
It was still early, and because Qin Nuo went out through the back door, he did not attract the attention of many ghosts.
But for safety's sake, Qin Nuo put on a murderous raincoat in advance in an alley.
The human breath was covered up and he became a ghost in the horror world.
If he really left the restaurant as a human being, it would be like a rat crossing the street. Qin Nuo would probably be gone before he even got on the bus.
The murderer's raincoat is Qin Nuo's greatest protection!
Only after leaving the alley and reaching the street did Qin Nuo see clearly the appearance of this so-called horror world.
Skyscrapers are no different from the human world.
However, the empty streets and roads were littered with wreckage of abandoned cars, and rotting meat piled on the roadside, emitting a foul stench.
A large number of crows and vultures were circling in the sky, and there were also many on the roadside, tearing and pecking at the rotten corpses.
The feeling of the end of the world.
Qin Nuo was walking on the side of the road, noticing the blurry black shadows and the zombie-like ghosts coming towards him.
When they saw Qin Nuo, they looked at him with some doubt in their eyes, but when they smelled the bad ghost aura on him, they looked away and walked away.
"If I didn't have this set of clothes, I would have been torn into pieces by now, right?" Qin Nuo thought to himself.
Following the instructions on the road signs, Qin Nuo found the bus stop to his destination.
