Chapter 31: Horror Oceanarium (7) It’s nice to have a small talk
"Brother, why do you keep looking at me?"
After all, there were so many tourists around, and Tan Yue was embarrassed to call him "baby" in front of people outside. He changed "baby" to "brother", the word changed, but the tone was still affectionate.
After all, he also called out like that when they were in bed, and Guan Shan's ears felt numb from hearing it.
Tan Yue noticed that Guan Shan kept staring at him, looking at him wherever he went, almost without blinking. He could understand Guan Shan, because when the two of them were alone together, his attention was all on his lover.
But it's working hours now, and being stared at like this all the time will affect his concentration and reduce his work efficiency.
Guan Shan looked at the reflection in Tan Yue's eyes without any sense of horror: He had known for a long time that there was something wrong with Tan Yue's eyes, but he did not expect that these eyes were quite intelligent, not only could they see through illusions, but they could also beautify illusions, thus achieving the effect of maintaining sanity!
In the other world of weird life, the weirdness in some areas is not that powerful, and they kill people not by physical attacks, but by mental pollution.
As long as the mental pollution is in place, these living people in the surface world will kill themselves. Their brains are damaged. Even if a safe passage is right in front of them, they will be trapped in the inner world forever because they cannot see the exit, and then they will be slowly polluted and become new residents of the inner world.
But Tan Yue seemed to be immune to mental pollution. Guan Shan was sure that his lover was a human being, not a monster, and did not have strong regeneration and recovery abilities.
So no matter how curious he was, he would not be so cruel as to dig out his lover's eyes for research. Such a moving pair of eyes would be more beautiful if they were on Tan Yue.
The god said, "It looks good to you."
He was not lying. If Tan Yue was not so handsome, it would be absolutely impossible for a god to fall in love with him.
Tan Yue's cheeks flushed, and he couldn't help but secretly squeezed Guan Shan's hand. He whispered, "I think you're very pretty, too, but I can't keep looking at you so intently. I still have to work."
He is also a relatively dedicated person. Even if he doesn't like his job very much, he will definitely do it well.
Tan Yue coughed lightly. The two of them had almost walked from the ticket checking area at the entrance to the area where the animals were. Some tourists followed the tour guide, while some tourists walked around randomly.
When the crowd had gathered to a certain size, Tan Yue amplified the voice of Little Bee and began to introduce: "We are now seeing the otter area of the aquarium. Otters have a very cute name, Capipara, but the otters in our aquarium are more lively and active. These are triplets that our aquarium bred three months ago. Because they were born on Friday, their names are Fufu, Lailai, Didi..."
Tan Yue adjusted the little bee on his waist, and as the tour guide of the aquarium, he began to tell the lovely customers the names, origins, interesting things that happened to the animals in each area, and the habits of this species.
His voice was very clear and pleasant, and he spoke at a moderate pace, speaking clearly and catchy.
Moreover, the small animals in the circle also responded to Tan Yue's voice and cooperated from time to time, which was even more eye-catching.
Of course, the aquarium does not provide specific commentary. All information about the animals can only be obtained through the aquarium's signs, brochures in the employee lounge, programs playing on the big screen, and the words of the aquarium's old employees.
How to convey this effective information depends entirely on the tour guide's own performance. Tan Yue obviously did a very good job, and it is no exaggeration to say that it was very interesting and soon many tourists gathered around him.
If it were any other human being, seeing these strange faces approaching them, especially some of the guests with their bloody mouths wide open, revealing rows of sharp teeth, they would probably be scared to death.
The monsters are the ones that are best at bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If humans reveal their trap and fall into complete fear, they will be taken advantage of.
But Tan Yue obviously had no such worries. After all, being surrounded by cute creatures was not scary, especially since he felt from the bottom of his heart that the guests were harmless.
In fact, there were some malicious and weird people among the tourists who gathered around. After all, they could smell the strong aroma of food from the tour guide from a distance.
The extremely fresh flesh and blood smelled like human, and it was top quality, almost like a weird crime.
The one that squeezed up is a child ghost. There are many mother-child combinations among the tourists, but some are dominated by mothers, and the adult ghosts control the children and can give birth to children continuously. Some are dominated by child ghosts who can control their own "parents".
The one who jumped and squeezed in front of Tan Yue was a child who couldn't completely control his appetite. After all, compared with mature adults, children are often more bad-tempered, more willful, more unreasonable, and have less self-control.
In this respect, there is no difference between the residents of the surface world and the residents of the inner world.
But after trying to get closer, the kid in overalls strangely didn't smell any fear from Tan Yue.
He was ready to rudely take off his own head in order to scare the human tour guide, but before he could take action, he was picked up by the gloved human tour guide in front of him and grabbed Fate by the scruff of the neck.
The child's eyes were gleaming with a malicious expression. He was just about to do a 360-degree spin with his neck when he felt that the place where he was being held was like a rusty machine. It was stuck and he couldn't move!
What's wrong with this human? Could it be that the other party is not a human at all! The aquarium's brochure clearly states that this event will provide human part-time tour guides. Such delicious flesh and blood should be a human!
"Everyone, please make way and don't crowd the children."
Tan Yue gently put the child down. He didn't like all the strangers crowding on him, but he was still more tolerant towards the child.
And now I am in working mode, so my personal preferences should be put aside for the time being, and the word "dedication" should be put first.
"Who is this child's parent?"
A seemingly honest man appeared in front of Tan Yue under the command of the child's strange telepathic communication. The puppet said in a rough voice: "It's my child."
Tan Yue handed the child who was almost "crowded" by the crowd to the parents. When talking to the guests, his voice and tone sounded like a kindergarten teacher: "Parents, please watch and take good care of your children!"
In order to comfort the frightened child, Tan Yue also stuffed a candy into the parent's hand: "This is strawberry-flavored yogurt candy, please give it to our very cute and handsome child."
Because of the nature of the work of his family members, they are sometimes too busy to care about anything else. Tan Yue has always carried some high-calorie snacks in his pocket since he was a child, such as chocolate, yogurt candy, Snickers and the like.
After handling the emergency, Tan Yue quickly finished talking about the otter area. He slowly withdrew from the crowd and walked to another area: "The right is the sea lion area. Friends who want to see sea lions can follow me over here."
The puppet parent who was controlled by the child ghost peeled off the candy wrapper, held it up to the light to confirm that there was nothing wrong, and then offered the candy to the latter.
The child with the candy in his mouth narrowed his eyes happily. He had never tasted the sweet milk before. He commanded the puppet: "Follow!"
Considering that the human tour guide praised him for being cute and handsome and even gave him candy, it would be reasonable for him, a dignified Green-robed Ghost, to consider giving him a tip.
The security guards of the aquarium are mainly red-clothed level ghosts, but with Guan Shan in charge, the main ghost tourists they accept are between the white-clothed and red-clothed ones in strength.
The lowest level gray ghosts are muddle-headed and generally do not leave their place as they do not have the financial resources to travel.
"I didn't realize that Xiaotan doesn't like to pay attention to those small animals during his work. He explains very well and is also very good at guiding tourists."
In the monitoring room, security guard Tan Ping, who had turned into a prototype of a mantis shrimp, was putting his legs in a fish tank filled with sea water to replenish water. He was eating the dried squid bought by Tan Yue while watching the surveillance camera.
He has six pupils in his eyes, which allows him to keep an eye on all directions and hear all directions: one pupil is used to look at the screens where Tan Yue and the curator are, one is used to look at the new Tuntun, one is used to look at the other human employees, one is used to stare at Ms. Chen Meiji opposite him, and the remaining two pupils are constantly moving to check on the animals and tourists in the aquarium.
Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but speak. After all, he and Ms. Chen didn't have many common topics, so a small chat was one of them.
Ms. Chen Meiji also stayed in the lounge and cleaned the trash can when it was full. Hearing this, she nodded in agreement: "Xiao Tan has always been a smart and good child."
He is good-looking, smart, and kind. In addition to giving them snacks and gifts every time he comes, sometimes when they meet at work, Tan Yue will lend a hand to help after he finishes his own work.
After listening for a while, Tan Ping continued to find a topic: "Is he talking about the stories about the animals in our aquarium? How come I don't know this?"
Ms. Chen Meiji was looking at her future husband candidates and answered without even looking up: "Shouldn't I be asking you this question? I'm not watching the surveillance camera every day."
Of course, what Tan Yue talked about were not all stories about the little animals in the aquarium, many of them were his own personal knowledge reserves.
Under the protection of rules, the little power that humans possess is obviously not as important as their brains.
In addition to Tan Yue, there was a team of young female college students who also performed quite well.
They were pulled in while drinking milk tea. One of them was a member of the school debate team and had many speeches. The other one had worked many part-time jobs and participated in the freshman marketing competition held by the school. They were both good at speaking and courageous.
Although they were very scared, they finally plucked up their courage and started to speak hard after hearing Tan Yue's voice from afar, suppressing their fear.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. The Ocean Management has bodyguards. Just treat these weird-looking guests as nothing!" Repeating these words in their hearts, the two girls' team encouraged each other and tried hard to smile. They did stumble a little at the beginning, but gradually became smoother.
Zhang Yang has another style, speaking as if he is telling jokes.
Seeing that there was no danger to life, everyone worked hard to do the job of tour guide.
In the team of human resources manager Tuntun is a middle-aged man who works in sales.
There was no problem at the beginning, but when they got to the octopus area, the middle-aged man was talking and subconsciously told a sexual joke that he thought was very interesting.
“Hahaha…” The smile on the face of the middle-aged man who thought he was very humorous gradually disappeared in the somewhat weird atmosphere.
The octopus, who was teased by him, stretched out its tentacles and slapped the middle-aged man several times in turn.
This seemed to be a signal. A female monster with a child covered her child's ears, and all the monsters rushed over.
"Don't come over here. What do you want to do? Don't come over here. I'm a staff member of the aquarium!"
"Pah, pah, pah..." The middle-aged man's face was beaten into a big pig's head, and his third leg was kicked directly to pieces. Under the stimulation of pain, he screamed a few times and fainted.
If it weren't for the badge that read "Aquarium Guide", this guy would have been torn into pieces by those weird tourists long ago.
“Make way, make way.” Tuntun, wearing a suit and tie, squeezed into the middle of the tourists with a smile on his face. “Excuse me, this is a temporary worker newly hired by our aquarium.”
The woman holding the baby by the umbilical cord said strangely: "I want to complain about your tour guide. How was he trained? How dare he act rudely towards us!"
"That's right, what is he saying in front of the child?"
Tuntun showed a sharp blade in his hand, pinched the middle-aged man's tongue with his forelimbs, pulled out a piece, and then brushed it, slicing the man's tongue into several thin slices of meat like cicada wings.
It sprinkled a little blue-green powder on the cross section, which quickly stopped the bleeding.
The man woke up because of the pain, but was directly shocked by the horrific scene and fainted.
Tuntun used these thin slices of meat to compensate the guests who heard the obscene joke: "It's a poor hospitality. This is our oceanarium's compensation for him."
The tourists accepted the compensation and their anger subsided a little: "We hope that your aquarium can provide good staff training services. If it happens again, we will file a complaint!"
"Calling Shadow, please come over and handle the emergency in Area 11."
A slender shadow hidden in the shadows emerged and quickly dragged the unconscious middle-aged man down. The middle-aged man fell into the black hole, then turned around and appeared in the staff lounge.
Because of the lack of a tour guide, these unattended tourists were gradually diverted to the tour guides in other areas.
The two girls happened to see the whole thing. They were both scared and gloating. They hated middle-aged greasy men who made obscene jokes regardless of the occasion.
Which girl who has been subjected to similar verbal harassment has not fantasized about giving such a person a few slaps in the face? Now, the cruel female weirdos cut off his tongue and castrated him. He really deserved it.
But they were a little worried about the swallowing black hole: "He shouldn't be dead, right?"
"You guys work hard and must respect our customers. No. 5's salary for today will be deducted and he will be fined 100 Gui coins!"
When Zhang Yang heard that someone was fined, he knew that it was not easy to work in the other world. Even if he did not lose his identity, his salary would be negative and he would definitely not survive.
No one cared about that person's life or death anymore, and the area where Tan Yue was was far away from here, and he was surrounded by tourists asking questions, so of course he didn't see this farce.
He is working hard to be an excellent tour guide so as to improve tourists' evaluation and reputation of the aquarium.
Tan Yue is the kind of person who works hard and will definitely do his job well. Even if he doesn't like it that much, his ability and attitude are there, so his work performance will be outstanding.
When I was a keeper, I fed the animals on time and in fixed quantities strictly according to the requirements on the form, so that the creatures in the aquarium were kept smooth and healthy.
Guan Shan has been looking at humans. Humans who are concentrating on their work are very charming, like sparkling gems. His heart seems to be pounding in his chest. He wants to kiss them and pounce on them.
The mermaid's body was restless, and the god's eyes gradually became dim, like a mysterious and deep sea whirlpool, trying to suck his human lover in and integrate him into his bones.
Feeling the burning gaze of his lover, Tan Yue would occasionally look up. Even though there were several tourists between them, when their eyes met, they would be sticky and there was a special atmosphere that ordinary people could not get into.
Tan Yue was a human being after all, and his voice was obviously a little hoarse after speaking for two hours. At this time, Guan Shan, who had been following him, took on the role of assistant. When Tan Yue's voice was hoarse and he could hardly speak, his slender white hand handed him a thermos cup.
This is the thermos bottle that Tan Yue bought. It keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. When you unscrew the green thermos cup which holds 900 ml, wisps of cold air come out of it.
Ice cubes, lemon slices and cola are refreshing and can soothe dry throats. The lemon tastes very fresh, without the bitterness of soaking for a long time, and it is obviously freshly made.
It was impossible for him to keep looking at his lover while he was explaining, and he didn't know when Guan Shan went to get it.
"Did you just go to the kitchen to make this? I love you so much!"
In fact, Guan Shan had never left. When he heard Tan Yue's hoarse voice, he reached out from the shadow, took out the ice cubes that had been frozen in the refrigerator, added freshly cut lemon slices, poured them into the large kettle and took it over.
After all, he had seen Tan Yue make similar drinks, and copying such a simple operation would be a very easy thing for a god.
Tan Yue stepped out from the crowd of tourists and walked to a corner, but he still couldn't help but give his lover a hug.
The thermos cup came with a straw, and he drank most of it in one breath, and passed the cup to the latter's mouth: "It tastes really good, better than what I make, baby, you drink it too, my throat is no longer hoarse after drinking it."
Guan Shan didn't mind it either. After all, they had kissed directly before, so why would he mind kissing indirectly?
The god took a symbolic sip and it was indeed delicious, but He still felt that what Tan Yue made seemed to be better.
Two hours later, the lemonade was finished and Tan Yue walked from the entrance to the exit. He breathed a long sigh of relief, and his work as a part-time tour guide was successfully completed.
"Gather, it's time to go." The tour guides wearing colorful hats began to gather to ensure that no tourists got lost in the aquarium.
The tourists on this trip were relatively well-behaved and no one trespassed into the aquarium.
After all, those cute-looking creatures in the aquarium are not real ordinary creatures. If someone is bold enough to attack the aquarium, there will be accidents where tourists will be eaten.
Overall, this group reception event should have ended successfully.
Before passing through the turnstile, several tourists ran up to Tan Yue, who was resting nearby, and stuffed some ghost coins into his pocket as tips.
There were nearly 300 tourists in total this time, 99% of whom had listened to Tan Yue’s explanation, and 50% had followed him throughout the entire trip.
Tan Yue's pockets were filled with tips from Guiyi, and Guiyi was tempted by the full pocket of Gui coins and tried to secretly take some away.
How could Guan Shan tolerate such a thing to happen? The strange body instantly became out of control and handed over all the strange coins and other valuable items he was carrying.
"Here you go, all for you!"
Tan Yue felt something was wrong with the customer who was trying to stuff money into his pocket, so he quickly refused: "You don't need so much."
He still hadn't completely converted the ghost coins into modern currency, but he felt that a tip of three or five yuan was a recognition of his work. Thirty or fifty was not too much, but he would feel embarrassed to give more.
Tan Yue stuffed most of it back forcefully. The little thief who was trying to do something bad quickly ran to the tour guide with tears in his eyes: If he doesn't run away, he feels that he will lose control and give all his wealth to this human, without even a pair of underwear left!
Seeing that all the other tour guides looked exhausted, Tan Yue whispered and discussed with Guan Shan, then @人事 in the group.
Guan Shan's human companion Xiao Tan: "@人事豚豚, everyone has worked hard today. The kitchen can provide free iced lemonade for everyone. I will send it to the staff lounge later. You can tell everyone that it can soothe their throats."
Tan didn't expect these people to remember his kindness, so he just left after sending them off.
Everyone looked at the water nervously. There was a big bucket of chilled lemonade in a 5L mineral water bucket with a faucet. It was filled with lots of ice cubes and fresh-looking yellow lemon cubes. There was a pile of disposable paper cups next to it.
The water looked normal, but when they thought that it was Xiao Tan who brought the water, no one dared to move for a moment: "Is this water drinkable? I'm going to die of thirst if I don't drink it!"
"I feel like small talk is good."
Many people were able to get through the day successfully because they saw Tan Yue’s ticket checking demonstration and speech.
Tuntun hasn't received any salary yet, so the number of people who received tips is very limited, and if there is any, it's only a few Gui coins.
A bottle of water in the vending machine costs three Gui coins. Almost no one is willing to spend money on it. After all, they are just like that, stumbling and not very skilled, and tourists are not fools.
"Isn't there a person there? Give him a try."
Zhang Yang raised his chin and looked at the middle-aged man who had been punished. After such a long time, the middle-aged man had been released from the small dark room, but he was lying on the ground listlessly, and looked in very bad condition.
He also felt it was a pity to waste such a large bucket of iced lemonade. After all, not all food in the weird world is unsafe. "Feed it to him and see. Feed him more and observe."
He directly opened the middle-aged man's jaw, and then asked others to force-feed nearly 500ml of fluid into him.
The middle-aged man had no ability to resist, but after drinking the water, he felt pretty good. The lemon water was sour and sweet and quite delicious. He was not as hungry as before and his body felt stronger.
Later on, when no one forced him to drink, he took the initiative to drink.
Zhang Yang waited for a while and confirmed that the man had no organ mutations: "No problem, you can drink it!"
The other employees all took disposable cups and started drinking water.
They never thought that ordinary iced lemonade could taste so good!
"This is simply divine wine!" The first person who spoke found that his throat was much more soothed. Not only was he no longer thirsty, he also no longer felt dizzy or blurry, and his voice was no longer hoarse.
"This should be a prop, but I don't know how long this lemonade can be kept."
"I don't think it will last long. The ice melts very quickly."
There is no refrigerator in the lounge for human employees. Tuntun will not be so generous to humans. Of course, if they find the central kitchen and want to use the things in the central kitchen, Tuntun will not stop them.
Everyone was deeply moved: "Xiao Tan is so weird!"
Even though there may be a horrible and ugly crack under the mask, it is ugly, but very gentle.
