Every ghost servant knows this rule.
However, only one ghost has the chance to survive in the toilet of the Ghost Servant Restaurant. The other ghosts, if they are even a little slow, will have to leave the restaurant in time and find another way. If they haven't left by 7 PM, the death knell can be tolled.
"60"
"61"
"62"...
Yin Zhu seemed completely unfazed, calmly counting down the numbers.
A ghost servant had already pressed his ear against the door, but because Yin Zhu's voice wasn't loud and the bathroom had good soundproofing, she didn't hear anything.
The other ghost servants exchanged glances.
They are both rivals and teammates.
If you fall half a step behind the first place, all the other ghost servants will work together to stop the ghost servant who is most likely to enter the toilet.
However, if you are the one closest to the toilet door, then everyone here is your mortal enemy.
A mortal enemy who will fight to the death.
"101"
"102"
“103”...
"Click click click".
The doorknob was suddenly shaken wildly by the ghost servants outside, as if they were urging the people inside to come out quickly.
If it weren't for the rules, they probably would have started cursing.
Yin Zhu was almost interrupted from counting by the noise outside the door, but she kept her eyes tightly closed and slowly continued counting: "110, 111, 112, 113..."
The noise outside the door began to turn into sounds of destruction and insults, as if a fierce battle was taking place.
In the end, everything turned into screams and chewing sounds.
"...119, 120."
Two minutes had passed, and the area outside the door gradually quieted down, as if the intense events just moments before were merely Yin Zhu's illusion.
This door is really good quality.
Yin Zhu felt a little guilty, thinking that her little trick had gone too far. However, she really needed to survive tonight, so she had no choice but to sacrifice them.
After all, everyone relies on their own abilities.
Sometimes, this kind of misleading approach is part of the skill. After all, you really fooled yourself about this rule in the restroom.
Yin Zhu opened her eyes and stared blankly at the toilet wall. The two light bulbs in her eye sockets cast a golden glow, the gold blending perfectly with her pupils, as if she had always had golden eyes, never having changed.
If the ghost servant outside the door knew what she had just been doing, he would be furious and curse even more angrily:
"You're counting down too slowly!"
Yin Zhu deliberately slowed down every second, stretching the 120 seconds to around 180 seconds. As a result, the ghost servants outside the door, who were eagerly waiting for Yin Zhu to come out, witnessed her entering the toilet three minutes before her deadline, yet she was still not punished after exceeding the time limit.
The ghost servant who frantically opened the door assumed that Yin Zhu had died in the toilet, since toilets are usually unoccupied at times like this.
However, the door did not open.
In other words, the restroom staff believed that Yin Zhu had not violated rule number four: [4. The restroom is most crowded between 12:00-13:00 and 18:00-19:00 daily; please do not stay in the restroom for more than 2 minutes at a time.]
The rules inside the restroom were misled by Yin Zhu's countdown.
It didn't think Yin Zhu was reading too slowly; on the contrary, it believed that time was being counted in seconds. Even though the ghost servants outside the door were furious and incredulous after being tricked, they still couldn't affect anything inside the door.
That's how I managed to avoid tonight.
The current crisis has been resolved, but can one escape the inevitable? Today, Yin Zhu was able to avoid trouble by exploiting a loophole in the restaurant's restroom, but that doesn't mean she can do it again next time.
Last time, Yin Zhu witnessed two ghost servants manage to escape from the restaurant by narrowly missing a gap.
There were only three screams outside the door just now.
In other words, another ghost servant escaped and remembered her actions. Next time, she will probably be more careful and target her.
This is what it truly means to say "I'll remember you".
Yin Zhu rubbed her temples, feeling a severe headache.
It's only been three days, and Yin Zhu has already been forced to spend the night in the toilet. There are still four days left, and she can't hide in the toilet every day.
With a silent sigh, Yin Zhu knew she needed to have a serious talk with the Tengu Butler tomorrow.
After all, the Tengu Butler is Hirano Sane.
Just like Hana-hime.
These two monsters are completely different in appearance and personality, yet they each reveal different clues.
Hua Ji's weakness lies in the fact that she calls Yin Zhu "Zhu," a name that Hirano San particularly likes. She has half-Dragon Kingdom blood and was taught the Dragon Kingdom language from a young age, knowing the meaning of the Dragon Kingdom characters.
If it were a ghost from the land of cherry blossoms, it should be called "Bamboo" or "Bamboo Cutter," and it would never be abbreviated to "Bamboo."
As for the Tengu Butler, the loopholes are even more obvious.
Hirano Sane likes to ruffle her hair and also likes cherry-flavored cake.
This information was obtained unexpectedly when Yin Zhu bought her some snacks during the last time they were in the "Cyber Myth" instance.
Yin Zhu wrote it down at the time.
Unfortunately, Yin Zhu did not expect that Hirano Shan would arrange her departure so quickly, so quickly that Yin Zhu did not have time to satisfy Hirano Shan's appetite, which was really a pity.
This snack wasn't meant to please anyone or anything; it was simply a small gift I wanted to bring as a friend.
Hirano San possesses the ability to read minds, a talent born from the relatively materialized manifestation of her perception of others' hearts and emotions, enhanced by the power of the rules. Therefore, Yin Zhu was well aware that he was no different from a naked person in front of Hirano San, and from the very beginning, he had no intention of playing mind games or using tricks against her.
