Calling it notes isn't quite accurate.
Judging from what Gu Xinghe read next, it was a slightly worn brown diary.
The owner's name was not written on the cover or title page of the diary.
However, judging from where it was placed and its contents, it should be the diary of an employee who once lived in this dormitory.
The diary mainly recounts this employee's ordinary working life—
【November 12】
Today is my first day working at the Doom Tavern. I hope I can earn enough money soon to go back to my hometown and marry Anna.
But on his first day working at the tavern...
I accidentally broke the staff rules here while I was in the restroom—no looking in the mirror in the bar.
There are many strange urban legends circulating about the Tavern of Misfortune.
I don't know why mirrors are forbidden in taverns; maybe it's because there are ghosts in the mirrors that are believed to bring death.
I'm afraid I'll lose my life because of this.
But what I'm really afraid of is breaking the rules and having my salary docked!
This concludes the first diary entry.
Although Gu Xinghe knew that no respectable person would keep a diary.
However, there are far too many inappropriate things in this diary.
In the end, all Gu Xinghe could do was look at the diary and sigh—
This young man looks so young, how could he possibly make a promise to earn enough money and then go back to his hometown to get married?
Whether the FLAG (fortune) has come true for the diarist remains to be seen.
Gu Xinghe had no choice but to continue flipping through the pages—
【November 13】
Today, a senior colleague who works at the tavern told me that it's actually just an ordinary tavern.
It's not as terrifying as the rumors circulating outside suggest.
He also told me that the rule about the prohibition against looking in the mirror seemed to be just a scary statement.
Because there are just too many strange legends about the tavern.
So the tavern pretended to set some strange rules to satisfy the employees' curiosity.
In reality, every employee in the pub looks in the mirror every day as usual.
But so far, I haven't heard of anyone getting hurt because of this.
【November 19】
A week has passed, and just as my senior said, nothing happened even after I looked in the mirror.
And it's fantastic that I didn't have my salary deducted for violating the rules!
Even if you know the rumor about looking in the mirror is false.
Every time I pass in front of the mirror, I still feel a little scared.
【December 15】
I've been working at the Tavern of Misfortune for a month now, and it's definitely not as eerie as the rumors suggest.
Perhaps it's because the fine wines here attract so many guests.
Other nearby pubs, wanting to steal business, deliberately spread false information.
But because of this, the tavern pays much higher wages than other places.
After all, that's what attracted me, a working-class person.
【December 20】
I'm so tired and sleepy! Working is just too hard!
Recently, my shifts have been scheduled for the last shift of the day, which starts at 2 a.m.
I feel like my sleep schedule has completely reversed!
In the four diary entries that were updated intermittently after the first one.
The diary entries mostly describe how the diarist discovered that the tavern was not actually that scary.
And that he did not cause any consequences after violating the pub's rules.
And after that, it seems to have been as recorded in the diary on December 20th.
The diarist's work became extremely busy, with his schedule reversed day and night, leaving him with no time or inclination to write in his diary.
The diary entries have been interrupted for a long time.
When the diary reappeared, it was three months after the last entry.
【March 20】
I know this isn't good...
But Anna was really too sick...
The only way... is for someone to... exchange the wine... for a lot of money...
The diary entries that appeared three months later were very brief.
Compared to the previous complete records, this diary entry appears fragmented.
Many of the writings had been crossed out and altered multiple times.
Even the last complete sentence was altered to leave only a few words.
Although the diarist also complained from time to time about how hard the work was.
However, judging from his previous writings, it is not difficult to see his cheerful personality.
This diary entry appeared three months later.
Although it was only a few dozen words, it was clear that the diarist was feeling extremely heavy-hearted.
Judging from the contents of the diary, it roughly means that the diary's owner's fiancée is seriously ill.
With no other option, he resorted to stealing alcohol from taverns and selling it for money.
After all, given the current popularity of the Doom Tavern, the drinks here are indeed very valuable.
Moreover, the people he sells alcohol to.
Perhaps it was one of the other nearby taverns that he had mentioned in his previous diary, which were his competitors.
Gu Xinghe remembered that Karl had introduced him to Karl.
Besides the drinks that need to be mixed by a bartender on the spot, other regular bottled drinks at Doom Bar are also quite popular.
However, the alcohol in the tavern is not sold to the public.
Therefore, there have been many people who were unable to come in person, or other taverns.
Try "hiring" tavern staff to steal alcohol and sell it.
But no matter what, the drinks taken out of the tavern taste different from those in the tavern.
Regardless of how other taverns are replicated.
