"Don't worry, everything is under control." Chen Ge stood up and stretched his body. Comparing the performance of the other passengers, it can be seen how good Chen Ge's physical fitness is.
"This restaurant belongs to someone else's territory. The headless female ghost doesn't dare to come in for the time being." Chen Ge touched the white cat's belly. The little guy was so scared that he even forgot to resist.
"Wait a minute, that sentence of yours contains too much information! What do you mean by another person's territory? Is there a similar female ghost living in this hotel?!" The drunk man found that he had grown a lot that night and his brain had become more useful.
"That's roughly understandable, but don't worry, the female ghost is still sleeping and won't wake up for a while." Chen Ge walked into the hotel, leaving several passengers standing there in a daze.
"He actually admitted it? Is there really a female ghost? Fighting poison with poison? Is it that cruel?" The drunk looked at the doctor and the scissors: "No, you two should at least say something! There is a female ghost outside the door right now, she is a ghost!"
"Be quiet, what's a ghost?" Scissors knocked the drunk's hand aside and said in a cold tone: "If you provoke me, I will kill even a ghost for you to see."
The doctor was the only one who was relatively calm. “Didn’t you notice that he just used the word temporary? That means the female ghost outside might come in, and the sleeping female ghost might wake up. We might have to face two evil spirits at the same time.”
"What do you mean?" The drunk felt that the doctor was the calmest and most reliable among the few people, and he tried to interpret the hidden meaning in the doctor's words.
"What I mean is, you should move your body quickly, because you might be in a worse situation later than you are now." The doctor was also breathing heavily. Among the three passengers, Scissors had the best physical strength. It was obvious that he had made a lot of preparations for this day, including exercising and honing his body.
"No way... Who did I offend? I was just drinking." The drunk man got up from the ground. He listened to the knocking sounds coming from the door and cold sweat broke out.
"Is anyone there?" Chen Ge walked to the counter. The restaurant still had the style of more than ten years ago, and was very similar to the scene in Xiaobu's game.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, a man's voice came from a room deep in the corridor: "Wait a moment! I'll be right there!"
Another minute passed before several passengers saw a fat man walking out from the end of the corridor.
He was tying an apron with both hands. It could be seen that the apron was new and there was no stain on it at all.
"Why is it so slow? There is no efficiency at all. You must always remember that as a service industry, customer experience must be put first." Chen Ge glanced at the man impatiently.
"Sorry, I was just helping in the kitchen." The middle-aged man was not angry. He was smiling, and his fat face made people feel approachable.
"Helping in the kitchen?" Chen Ge found that the middle-aged man's hands were wet. He had just washed them, but perhaps because he was in too much of a hurry, there were still some dark red stains in the cracks of his fingernails.
"Yes, we only have one cook here, so sometimes I go to help." The fat man smiled. His eyes were not big, and if he didn't turn his head, you wouldn't even know who he was looking at.
"Are you the boss here?" The drunk man was a little excited as he met someone he could communicate with normally for the first time since entering Liwan Town.
"I have to help in the kitchen, be a waiter, and do the accounting. I am no better than a waiter as a boss." The fat man came to the counter and asked: "Do you want to stay here or eat?"
"How do you calculate the price?" The doctor frowned. He always felt that something was wrong. If they could open a store in a town filled with blood mist, there must be something wrong with this place.
"You can stay for free on the first night. If you want to stay longer, we will pick one of your belongings as room fee for the second night." The fat boss seemed to be afraid of misunderstanding, and added: "Money doesn't mean much to us. We want some special souvenirs."
"What if you want to stay for a third night?" Chen Ge said calmly.
"Take one more thing. We will kick you out only when you can't take it out." The boss seemed very kind: "This is the safest place in town."
"I understand." The drunk nodded. "This place is just like the safe zone in the game. How about the four of us stay here for one night?"
"This is your room number." The fat boss took out four keys from under the counter, as if he was afraid that the drunk would go back on his word. Each key had a number on it.
"We don't need four rooms. We can just share one," the doctor said cautiously.
"Okay, you decide for yourselves. I'll go to the kitchen and ask, and then I'll prepare dinner for you." The boss walked towards the kitchen, and the direction he left was not the same as the direction he came from.
After the boss left, the doctor picked two adjacent rooms and said, "We want these two rooms. Four of us will live in one of them, and the other one will be empty. Everyone will take turns to keep watch at night and pay attention to these two rooms. If there is a problem in one of them, wake everyone up immediately."
"Great!" Hope rekindled in the drunk's eyes: "As long as we can hold out until dawn, or the fog lifts, we will definitely be able to escape from this town!"
Scissors also agreed with the doctor's method. Among the few people, only Chen Ge had a strange expression.
"This should be the safest way." The doctor looked at Chen Ge. After all, Chen Ge was the backbone.
"The four of us hiding in the room is equivalent to handing over the initiative to others. They have plenty of time to set up all kinds of traps and mechanisms, and we can only passively wait in the room." Chen Ge didn't even look at the key on the counter.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Several people were very curious about the solution Chen Ge came up with.
"It's very simple. The boss just said that there is only one cook here besides him." Chen Ge smiled and stretched out his finger: "There are two of them, and there are four of us. Rather than spending a restless night, I would rather take the initiative and be the owner of the store for a night."
"You want to be a store owner?" The drunk felt his worldview was shattered: "Brother, he was just talking to us politely, and now you're planning to be a store owner? Isn't that inappropriate?"
"You really think the boss is being polite to you, even the red-clothed ghost dare not enter this store?" Chen Ge has played Xiaobu's game before, and he knows the reason for the existence of this store. Customers are food, and will eventually be sent to the stomach of the red-clothed man in the refrigerator: "By dinner time, you should understand why I did this."
Chen Ge placed the white cat on his shoulder and took all four keys in his hand: "Don't expose yourself. I hope you can trust me. I can assure you that I am a good person, but my kindness has its own edge."
