When we came down from that place where we were lost in a maze, the stairs below were indeed completely dark.
It stretched as far as the eye could see, like a road leading to the underworld.
But now, as Lao Zhou and I were about to go up, the stairs above us were also pitch black.
Didn't Lao Zhou just say that this ghost wall phenomenon will disappear?
It looks like nothing has changed at all!
Old Zhou took another step, his massive body swaying from side to side.
His hands hung limply at his sides, unable to exert any strength.
But at that moment, the black aura around his feet suddenly tightened, and I saw that his ankles turned red instantly.
Fatty Zhou immediately started baring his teeth and making faces.
"There's nothing I can do. Whenever I want to go up to the third floor, this restriction will immediately take effect, and at best, it will hurt so much that I can't stand up."
If it's too heavy, it will directly absorb the energy from my body..."
The girl and I exchanged a glance, and we were both shocked.
This thing has quite a history.
From what I can tell, Zhou Pangzi himself probably doesn't understand how this was formed.
But since this maze was created by the moviegoers or other guests, the restrictions on the owner must have been created by some guest as well, right?
If that's the case, then whether it's being trapped in a maze or being bound by the ghosts, the fact that it happened today is definitely because of our existence!
However, I think the person who set up such a powerful restriction under the fat man's hotel must be quite extraordinary.
"Boss Zhou, can't you untie these bindings on your legs yourself?"
"This is your hotel, how can you let others control you?"
I asked, somewhat angrily.
This boss is so incredibly humble.
He's made such a mess of himself, yet he still expects to help others count their money.
"No... there's only one type of person who can do that: managers..."
Holy crap!
It's those guys again.
It seems Lao Liu was right before; the people in this organization are the most inhuman!
“We’ve heard people say before… that the people in charge are really ruthless towards you street vendors.”
Otherwise, I'll help...
I was about to offer to help her, but the fat man interrupted me. "No, this time it's someone from the management team specifically in charge of supervision. Those eyes are also in my hotel."
However, even fewer of them came out than that moviegoer. If it weren't for today's restrictions, I might have completely forgotten about this guest…
Fatty Zhou explained it to us step by step.
It turns out that there is a group of people in the entire management system who are specifically responsible for supervision.
They will send out personnel, similar to those on duty, to be distributed throughout the shallow layers.
The person in charge of the western part of the roundabout is this person. Fatty Zhou told us, "I'm not sure if it's one person or a group of people, but at least they all live in that big house."
They had never seen their true faces, but they constantly monitored Lao Liu's every move.
Sometimes he would encounter lights that suddenly went out.
Or the water in the cup might spill out of nowhere.
It wasn't until later, when the fat man overheard the sounds coming from inside that room, that he realized he was actually part of the management team, receiving guests.
By then, it was too late to catch up.
This film critic also has some connection with these supervisors.
"You mean that after the sea marrow was stolen, not only did the shadowy figure keep it all for himself, but the supervisor also got a share?"
Yiyi squatted down and gently sensed the black aura.
However, the girl's energy seemed strangely similar to the black aura, and the black aura immediately retreated noticeably.
However, it did not disappear.
Fatty Zhou sighed.
"Alas, in the deep sea, sea scabies worms are indeed the arbiters. Even on land, these sea scabies worms play a significant role, dominating the balance."
However, this is only at a superficial level; whatever the managers say goes.
Seeing that he couldn't get up there, and with the child's voice sometimes near and sometimes far, sometimes loud and sometimes soft, Fatty Zhou simply sat down on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Yiyi tried her best to move her hand closer to the black aura, but the black aura slowly dispersed a little.
I gripped the lightning sword tightly, slightly gathering my strength towards the black aura surrounding the boss.
"Hey buddy, you better watch out, don't break my foot, I'll need it for the rest of my life!"
I gave Fatty Zhou a look, and with a whoosh, the Thunder Strike Sword effortlessly slashed at the circle of black mist.
The fat man was so frightened that he covered his eyes with his hands, not daring to look, but he did not back down.
The black energy was cut off as expected.
Immediately, Yiyi continued to guide the black energy in another direction.
I saw a red mark around the fat man's ankle.
His ankles are so fat they're almost as wide as my thighs.
Fatty Zhou's eyes were filled with gratitude. He wiped his face, his voice full of helplessness.
"I claimed to own this hotel, but in reality, it had been under the watchful eye of the management for a long time."
Sending sea marrow to Lan Jia will inevitably attract attention.
When the managers found out I was hiding the aged sea marrow, they sent over supervisors. I didn't dare make any rash moves, and only secretly gave it to Xiao Yuan.
The fat man's tone was full of helplessness.
He then started talking as he walked up the stairs.
