Staff Code of Conduct
We are delighted that you have agreed to become a staff member of Laoxianshan Inn. May the mountain god bless you. After becoming a staff member, you will no longer have to abide by some of the other rules, but you will also need to understand the responsibilities and obligations of a staff member.
[Rule Seventeen: You will no longer be required to follow these rules after get off work, but please do not disclose any provision of the Staff Code of Conduct to non-staff members.]
[Rule 18: Staff members are blessed by the mountain god, and the white mist will no longer affect you. However, please note that you must not drink any liquor.]
[Rule 19: The mountain spirit is still wandering around the inn. If you are unfortunately infected, please drink the juice within one minute. During this time, please avoid the rats and do not have any physical contact with them. Remember, do not harm the rats during this process. If you really don't have time to escape, please call for the parrot's help.]
[Rule Twenty: As a staff member, you cannot harm the normal guests. You can chase away crows and feed them liquor. If you see a spider, please use the tools around you to kill it. If there are rats attacking guests, please protect them. However, if any guest violates the inn's rules, please kill them.]
[Rule 21: You may go to the warehouse to retrieve food, but you must never enter the rooms further inside the warehouse.]
[Rule 22: All staff members must wear uniforms. There are no staff members wearing black uniforms. If you see someone wearing a black uniform, please stay away from them.]
[Rule 23: As staff need to inspect the rooms, you are allowed to enter all guest rooms, but if a room is occupied, you must leave as soon as possible.]
[Rule 24: Thank you for your continued dedication and for protecting the inn with your life. As midnight approaches, you may feel something is wrong with your body. Don't doubt it, it's time for you to go home.]
The staff code of conduct has been updated with eight new rules. Once they put on the uniform, they become staff members and are bound by these eight rules.
Should we wear them?
“What’s the point of coming here if you’re not wearing it?” Jiang Ran casually put on the work clothes. “This is a necessary step to advance the process. If we abandon our status as staff members to avoid the rules, then we probably won’t find the parrot.”
"That seems to make sense."
The moment Jiang Ran put on the work uniform, she felt that she had never been so energetic and was in the best condition!
Seeing that the two had found a new rule, everyone in the live stream gasped again!
"Although I didn't see the specific rules clearly, there are eight of them this time! There are already twenty-four rules in this world!"
"If it were me, I probably wouldn't even be able to remember all the rules, let alone analyze anything else."
While the live stream was still discussing, the two had already headed towards the warehouse!
Now almost everyone's attention is focused on the live broadcast rooms of the two countries. Smir is dead, and the others are still lost. Of the thirty ghost storytellers, only Jiang Ran and Weipus are left!
Turning into a crow still offers a glimmer of hope, but if you get infected and turn into a spider, then there's truly no hope of recovery!
The current time is 11:30 PM.
Jiang Ran remembered that it was 10:12 when he entered the inn. Had more than an hour already passed? To be honest, it didn't feel like that much time had passed at all.
It seems that between the two instances of drinking baijiu, the mental disturbance caused a misjudgment of time.
But it's okay, the staff are completely immune to this problem, at least they can now accurately keep track of the time.
Rule Six: Do not leave your room between midnight and 3 a.m. If you hear a knock on the door during this time, do not answer or open the door.
Rule 24: Thank you for your continued dedication and risking your life to protect the inn. Around midnight, you might feel something is wrong with your body. Don't doubt it, it's time for you to go home.
Both rules mention the midnight timeframe, so we'll use that time as the limit. Within half an hour, whether they get a clue or not, they can't take any further action!
Just as he was thinking this, Wips suddenly stood in front of Jiang Ran with a puzzled look and waved his hand.
"brother?"
"Is there something you need?"
Jiang Ran was undoubtedly more puzzled: why did this guy stop?
But Vips acted as if he didn't see Jiang Ran at all. He looked around for Jiang Ran's figure, but Jiang Ran was clearly standing in front of him!
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Ran gently patted his shoulder, which startled Weipus. He immediately threw a punch back, but luckily Jiang Ran instinctively dodged it. Otherwise, if he had taken the punch head-on, he probably would have been lying on the ground!
"Holy crap, are you trying to murder me?!"
"Uh...bro? Sorry, I thought it was that guy in black. But where did you go? I didn't see you."
"Where did you go? I've been here the whole time!"
“But you really did just disappear all of a sudden!” Wips was truly puzzled. “Why would I lie to you? It wouldn’t do me any good.”
Wips wanted to explain something, but Jiang Ran's pupils suddenly contracted, and he took a step back and said, "I believe you now. Are you still there? I can't see you anymore!"
This situation only lasted a few seconds, as Weips patted Jiang Ran on the shoulder.
The fact that the two were practically invisible to each other was something they hadn't expected. In the world of ghost stories, such strange situations usually don't lead to anything good.
Jiang Ran then remembered that the other staff members also appeared and disappeared suddenly, but they always appeared for a short while and then disappeared for a long time. Compared to them, the two of them had disappeared for a very short time.
"No, the duration of this effect might not have been just a few seconds; rather, the contact between us caused this state to disappear!"
This might be a characteristic of the staff; from the moment they put on the clothes, their identities have already changed. However, other staff members also have this problem, so it seems that nothing should happen in the short term.
"We must not separate. If we can't see each other, we must immediately remind each other!"
"Um!"
The invisible person can break free of their state by actively contacting the outside world; at least they still have the initiative.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, the two went into the warehouse together, where another staff member was counting the supplies on the iron racks.
"New here? You've read the staff rules, right? You can take the food here as you like. If any guests call you, give them the food. If you find any other guests breaking in, then kill them."
"By the way, don't go into that room deep inside, you'll die."
