67 Castle 4
Crisis
"Not for now." Sang Mian pretended to be serious: "But I am very willing to help you find your girlfriend."
The groom felt his empty chest and breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand to Sang Mian and said, "If you can really help me find my girlfriend, I will pay you 100 million ghost money as a reward."
Sang Mian wanted to say: No need, the system has already paid for you 100 million ghost money. But who would dislike having too much money? Sang Mian held his hand: "Money is not a problem, the main thing is that I heard that the position of supervisor is vacant. If possible, I hope to become the supervisor of the cleaners."
The groom was puzzled and said, "The salary of a supervisor is very low, and he has to pay attention to so many employees. You should just focus on helping me find a bride."
Sang Mian: "To be honest, I have always dreamed of becoming a leader."
Groom: "...as you wish."
*
The hall was in chaos without the groom. The weirdos started to fight with each other for the position of supervisor. Xia Qing saw the blood boiling and rolled up his sleeves to join in.
Bai Tang quickly grabbed her and said, "Are you crazy? Do you want to fight with Weird?"
Xia Qing pointed at Guiyi who was fighting fiercely and said, "They said whoever wins the fight will be the supervisor. Based on my understanding of Sister Sang, she definitely wants to be the supervisor, so I have to help her defend her position as the supervisor!"
Bai Tang: "Then why don't you take a look at the strength of both sides? You only have 14 points of weirdness, and the weirdness over there is basically 20 or 30 points of weirdness. Can you beat them?"
Xia Qing was deflated by her analysis and blamed herself for not being strong enough to help Sister Sang seize the position of supervisor.
Suddenly the weirdos cheered, and the winner was chosen.
He was a strange young man wearing a white vest and black trousers, and his strangeness value was 34 points.
Xia Qing silently complained in her heart, her weirdness value is not as high as Sister Sang's, it's really rubbish.
Jiang Jing stood there with a bitter face, not knowing what had happened to President Sang. It had been an hour since she last saw her. Could she have been eaten by the groom?
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. The most taboo thing in a spooky game is to act alone, because people who act alone are particularly likely to be targeted by spooky creatures.
At this moment, she regretted leaving President Sang alone in the room. If she had dragged President Sang to the meeting, things would not have turned out like this.
Fu Jiale sighed inaudibly, and his eyes met Zeng Fan and Gao Shuo.
Mushroom-headed Gao Shuo whispered, "We should also think about what to do next."
Zeng Fan straightened his back: "In this weird game, you still have to rely on yourself in the end. It's impossible to expect a big guy to lead you through..."
Before he could finish his words, the sound of leather shoes rang in his ears.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and opened their mouths at the same time.
Wasn't the groom extremely dissatisfied with the lazy employees? Why was President Sang standing next to the groom, and the two of them looked like they had a good relationship?
Zeng Fan: "I take back what I just said. It's more realistic to win by following the boss in the weird game."
The only ones who were not surprised were Xia Qing and Bai Tang. A mere groom would certainly not be a problem for Sister Sang, and he might even be someone related to Sister Sang. After all, Sister Sang's ghost veins were too developed!
Bai Tang said with his lips: "I'm glad you're okay."
Sang Mian smiled at the two of them.
The groom walked up to the crowd and said, "Next we will start selecting the supervisor. How would you like to select them?"
"vote."
I don't know which weird person shouted.
The groom agreed with the idea. "Next, please vote for the lady next to me." He pointed at Sang Mian. "I don't even know your name yet."
Sang Mian introduced his name in a friendly manner.
Everyone was surprised: "?" This is called voting? You just gave her the position of supervisor, do you still need to vote?
The groom was about to prepare the voting box. He also figured out the twists and turns in voting, so he turned back and said, "No need to vote. Sang Mian will be your supervisor from now on. You all need to follow her arrangements and complete your daily work."
"Yes!" Xia Qing's face flushed. She knew that the position of supervisor must belong to Sister Sang!
After the groom left, Xia Qing trotted over to Sang Mian and said, "Sister Sang, do you even know the groom?"
Sang Mian touched the tip of his nose and said, "How is that possible? I am a human, not a monster. Besides, even if I am a monster, not everyone would know me."
While talking to Xia Qing, Sang Mian felt that she was receiving a lot of resentful looks. She looked up at the weird cleaners, then silently took out her Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
"Not convinced?"
Looking at the big knife full of murderous intent, all the weirdos lowered their heads.
Xia Qing: "Is this the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade? So cool!"
Bai Tang: "How is it? Is this knife useful?"
Sang Mian chuckled and said, "I don't know, I haven't used it yet, but it's pretty useful for scaring people."
Bai Tang: "Indeed, this knife looks very imposing, worthy of being produced by Hua Hua Hu Die."
After admiring the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, Sang Mian briefly told his teammates what had just happened, focusing on the bride who went missing in the castle.
"Have you received the side quest about the bride?"
The six players shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it.
It seems that only his mission has been upgraded. Sang Mian pursed his lips. Finding the bride is not an easy task.
Xia Qing: "It's okay, Sister Sang, your mission is my mission, we will help you."
Bai Tang: "Yes, you still have us."
Sang Mian was moved and hugged his two good friends: "It's great to have you."
Just as she adjusted her mindset to look for her bride, the doorbell of the castle suddenly rang.
"Who is it?" Xia Qing asked in a hoarse voice.
"I'm here to attend the wedding in the castle." The voice outside did not convey any emotion, but was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Everyone thought that they must be guests invited by the groom for the wedding, so Xia Qing jumped and ran to open the door.
At this moment, Sang Mian's heart was beating rapidly and uncontrollably, and a sense of danger was spreading in his heart.
"Xiaoqing, don't open it!" Sang Mian shouted.
Something was wrong. There were still six days before the wedding, and the bride had disappeared. In light of such an unexpected situation, Sang Mian didn't believe that the groom would invite guests in advance.
Bai Tang understood Sang Mian's meaning instantly. She held Xia Qing's hand that was about to open the door and looked outside the door vigilantly: "Don't open the door yet, there's something fishy going on."
Sang Mian took out her cell phone from her pocket, opened it and found a phone number. After preparing herself mentally, she walked to the gate of the castle and dialed the number.
A rapid telephone ring rang outside the door.
"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling..."
The phone rang twice and then stopped.
Sang Mian's face darkened. It was indeed Lou Zangyue who came.
Outside the ancient castle, a trace of loneliness flashed across Lou Zangyue's face. Even though he had been discovered, his Mian Mian was still as smart as ever.
He knocked on the door gently. "You haven't replied to my messages. I've missed you a lot during this period. Can we meet?"
The players looked at each other. What was the weirdo outside saying? They couldn't understand a word.
Sang Mian had a solemn expression. Lou Cangyue's thinking was incomprehensible to ordinary people, and his possessiveness was even stronger. If he entered the castle, who knows what kind of madness he would go.
It is possible that everyone died at his hands, so he must not come in!
Sang Mian said loudly, "Lou Zangyue, I have thought a lot during this period. Thank you for your love, but I don't like you. Please don't come to me in the future!"
After saying this, Sang Mian breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Lou Zangyue could think it through and let go of her, and start his emotional life anew.
Xia Qing was shocked. "Did I hear it right? The weird guy outside was confessing his love to Sister Sang, and Sister Sang rejected him?"
And from Sister Sang's tone, it seemed that the two of them had an unknown past.
"Sister Sang, this is not very kind of you!" Xia Qing said reluctantly, putting her hands on her hips, "You didn't even share such a big thing with me."
Sang Mian rolled his eyes. "Is being entangled by a weirdo something to be proud of? What are you thinking, Xiaoqing?!"
Lou Zangyue outside was silent for a long time. Sang Mian even thought he had left. Just when she was about to leave, Lou Zangyue spoke again.
"I picture your appearance every night. My heart can't stop beating whenever I think of your name." Lou Zangyue laughed softly, "I will never give up on you. It doesn't matter if you don't like me. As long as you are by my side, it's fine, alive or dead."
Bai Tang's brows were furrowed so much that they were about to cave in. She had only seen such words in anime. Now a living yandere was just one step away from her. It was too scary.
Sang Mian couldn't help but shudder, then immediately turned around and gave the first order to the cleaners.
"You can't open the door without my permission!"
There are still six days before she can leave the castle. She is not afraid of Lou Cangyue! The main goal now is to complete the side quest and find the bride hidden in the castle.
According to Mr. Chen in the bathroom, if the light outside the room is red, it means there is something strange in the room. Sang Mian took the cleaners around the first floor. There are 26 rooms on the first floor, and 12 of them have red wall lamps outside.
Among the 15 cleaners, 8 are weird. Sang Mian assigned a room to each of them, and the player was assigned to a safe room.
Sang Mian wandered around the 26 rooms. After walking for half a day, she didn't see the bride, but she saw a lot of weird and messy things.
The woman living in the closet, the old man sleeping under the bed, and even the three-year-old baby lying on the chandelier, all showed their fangs when they saw Sang Mian.
And Sang Mian took out the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
Women, old men, and babies: “!” This guy even brings props?
They quickly retracted their fangs and bowed to Sang Mian in a very servile manner: "Have a nice day!"
Sang Mian held up the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and asked, "Have you seen the bride of the ancient castle?"
"No, no! We never go out!"
Sang Mian greeted the system's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.
The system can't stand it anymore: [Sorry, I don't have parents]
Sang Mian: "Yes, so the mission you posted is an orphan mission."
The castle had nine floors, and she had no idea how long it would take to find it after searching room by room. Her legs were sore from running all morning, and she had a big bowl of rice with scrambled eggs with tomatoes for lunch.
Xia Qing was stunned. "Sister Sang, didn't you work? How come you eat more than me?"
Sang Mian rubbed his calf resentfully: "How about we switch?"
Xia Qing shook her head like a rattle. Looking at Sister Sang's expression, she knew it was not easy to be a supervisor. It would be safer for her to just clean the place.
In the middle of the meal, someone strangely said he wanted to go to the toilet.
Xia Qing whispered in Sang Mian's ear: "He is just the cleaner who wants to compete with you for the position of supervisor. He really overestimates his own abilities!"
Sang Mian looked the cleaner up and down. His treacherous aura was 32 points. No wonder he dared to take the position of supervisor. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's your name?"
The cleaner's thin shoulders trembled, and he looked at Sang Mian with a wicked look on his face, "Manager Sang is asking me?" Before Sang Mian could speak, he asked himself, "My name is Mo Yu, can I go to the toilet now?"
Sang Mian waved his hand: "Go ahead."
Mo Yu put his hands in his pockets and whistled as he left the cafeteria. His face immediately darkened after he left the cafeteria. "If you dare to take my position as supervisor, you must pay the price."
*
The day's cleaning work was quickly completed. Sang Mian fell on the bed, feeling sore all over. Xia Qing, Bai Tang and Jiang Jing also lay on both sides of her. The four of them sighed at the same time.
Bai Tang buried his head in the bed and said sullenly, "It would be nice if I didn't have to go to work."
Xia Qing then said, "It would be nice if there was a handsome guy to accompany me to work." She paused and said, "A very handsome and weird guy would be fine."
"......" Bai Tang: "Even weirdness is fine, you have a strong ability to accept it."
Xia Qing: "We should still be more accepting of the diverse world, right, Sister Sang?"
Sang Mian didn't say anything.
Xia Qing: “Sister Sang?” She poked Sang Mian next to her: “Sister Sang?”
Sang Mian turned over: "zzz..."
Xia Qing: "Sister Tangtang..."
Bai Tang: “zzz…”
Xia Qing: "Jiang Jing?"
Jiang Jing: “zzz…”
Xia Qing: “…” Why do you fall asleep so quickly?
The girls' dormitory was peaceful, but the door of the boys' dormitory was knocked.
Zeng Fan and Gao Shuo were sleeping soundly, only Fu Jiale was suffering from insomnia. He tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. Then he heard a slow knock on the door.
At first he thought he had misheard, but after listening carefully for a while he found that someone was indeed knocking on the door.
Who could it be that night? There were only the cleaner and the groom in the castle, and he couldn't imagine who would knock on his door.
But he can be considered an old player. In the horror and weird game, being knocked on the door is a very dangerous thing. No one knows whether the thing outside the door is a human or a ghost, so the best way is not to open the door. Fu Jiale knows this very well.
He covered himself with the quilt and kept silent. Sure enough, the knocking on the door stopped.
Two seconds later, a female voice sounded from outside the door, "Save me! Open the door! Save me!"
It was Jiang Jing's voice! Fu Jiale's eyes widened. Didn't Jiang Jing live with Sang Mian? How could she be in danger?
Jiang Jing's voice was very low, as if she was afraid of disturbing something. Fu Jiale looked at his teammates who were sleeping like dead pigs, then turned over and got out of bed. He leaned against the door and asked, "Jiang Jing? What's wrong with you?"
