As he stepped onto the stairs, Qin Nuo followed Pinocchio and quickly went up to the second floor.
The restaurant on the second floor is actually not much different from the one on the first floor, except that the decoration is more upscale and the magnificent appearance seems out of place with the horror world outside.
The ghosts on the second floor were several levels higher than those on the first floor in terms of both status and strength. All kinds of strange-looking ghosts were sitting there, and even Qin Nuo's eyelids twitched when he looked at them.
Several guests who looked no different from humans were dining elegantly, but the ghostly power they exuded made the surrounding guests feel wary and move their seats further away.
The atmosphere on the second floor was much more harmonious than that on the first floor. There were no conflicts, and no out-of-control ghosts overeating and drinking. However, an invisible oppression was spreading. Some ghosts with weaker strength might have difficulty breathing and left in a hurry.
The stairs leading to the second floor seem to be the dividing line between the status of the guests in this restaurant.
Qin Nuo stood there, and no guest paid any attention to him, or rather, treated him as air.
But at this moment, an unexpected gaze came over.
"Isn't this that filthy half-rat? You are of lowly status and have no right to stand here. You've stained the floor here. Be careful to get torn to pieces!"
Qin Nuo turned his head to look.
By the window, the stitched ghost gave a sinister smile, and the twisted stitched faces on his body twitched.
Qin Nuo stared at it, a little confused.
This stitched ghost is actually also a guest on the second floor?
The ghosts sitting at the same table with it also stared at Qin Nuo with sarcasm.
"Half ghost, I heard it tastes pretty good."
"It's not bad, but it's a little dirty."
"Go away, don't spoil our appetite."
As they were talking, several ghosts cut up a charred corpse on the table with knives and forks, and stuffed the bright red flesh into their mouths.
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, carrying a strong smell of blood.
The Stitched Ghost picked up a human eyeball, put it in his mouth, and stirred it with his broken teeth. The chewing sound was creepy.
Qin Nuo looked at them, his expression remaining calm.
Noticing Qin Nuo's gaze, the Stitched Ghost's face twisted, showing some displeasure.
At this moment, Pinocchio, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and looked at Qin Nuo: "Follow me."
Stitched Ghost stared at Pinocchio and said, "When did the restaurant on the second floor become so low-class that anything can be served here?"
Pinocchio ignored the Stitching Ghost and stared at Qin Nuo.
Qin Nuo shrugged and followed.
Soon, left the restaurant.
Pinocchio took Qin Nuo to a more secret room.
"Wait at the door."
After saying this, Pinocchio entered the room himself.
Qin Nuo stood at the door. Occasionally, a few restaurant staff passed by. They pushed their food carts and walked straight past as if they didn't see Qin Nuo.
"There are no players on the second floor of the restaurant. It seems that it is not within the dungeon. Is it possible that only higher-level players can be matched with the second floor as a dungeon?"
Qin Nuo thought secretly.
Not long after, the door opened and Pinocchio came out holding a black box.
From Qin Nuo's perspective, the area surrounding the black box was filled with ghostly aura, a very special kind of ghostly aura.
But Qin Nuo could feel that this special ingredient was not as good as the ingredient No. 8 he brought back last time. It was one level lower, but it was also very scary.
Pinocchio did not rush to hand it over to Qin Nuo, but raised his wooden head.
Qin Nuo was also straightforward and handed over all of his remaining savings of 4,000 ghost coins to Pinocchio.
"This food is enough for the ghost in your body to swallow and absorb." After taking the ghost coins, Pinocchio handed the black box to Qin Nuo, then turned around and walked away.
When he left, he left another message: "It's best not to mess with the guests on the second floor. Although you are the manager of the restaurant, the restaurant still values the guests more, especially the guests on the second floor."
After saying this, he disappeared into the darkness.
"I don't provoke others, but I'm afraid that others will provoke me." Qin Nuo murmured, looking at the black box in his hand.
"Open the box!" The blood-eyed ghost urged impatiently.
"Are you eating here now?" Qin Nuo was slightly stunned.
"Now is the best time to eat. It won't take much time." said the blood-eyed ghost.
Qin Nuo looked around, found a more secluded room, and placed the black box on the table.
He took a deep breath and opened the box.
Under a thin towel, there was an eyeball.
The eyeball was pitch black, its surface covered with bloodshot, and was now moving vigorously.
His eyes were fixed on Qin Nuo. Although he couldn't speak, they were full of malice, which made him feel goosebumps all over and his nerves tense.
"There's only one eyeball left, but it's still so alive. How terrifying would it be if it were a complete body?" Qin Nuo murmured, horrified.
"It's just ingredient No. 2. That finger was several levels higher than it." The blood-eyed ghost said calmly.
Qin Nuo looked at the eyeballs and asked, "How to absorb it?"
Blood-eyed Ghost: "What do you think?"
The corner of Qin Nuo's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt something was wrong: "You want me to swallow an eyeball raw?"
"Where else can I put it in? I will help you absorb it. There will be no backlash, don't worry." said the blood-eyed ghost.
“It’s a bit disgusting.”
Although his body resisted instinctively, it was bought at a high price after all. Qin Nuo stretched out his right hand and pinched his eyeball with two fingers.
The moment they touched, countless blood threads began to wriggle and terrifying ghost energy surged out, but under the suppression of the blood-eyed ghost, the eyeballs soon calmed down again.
"Just think of it as swallowing a special candy."
