Chapter 202 New Regulations
When the administrator was dragged into the deep sea, he was cursing very dirty words, but Ning Hanqi generously forgave him. After all, he had already taken revenge in advance, and there was no need to argue with this guy who he was about to say goodbye to forever.
After saying that, the supervisor sneered and looked at Jiang Man again. He had just had an argument with the foreman and was in a bad mood, but after seeing the human players so miserable, his happiness was built on other people's pain.
It was impossible to expect the supervisor to be kind enough to give Jiang Man more sick leave. It was already a pleasant surprise that she was allowed to go home early tonight. Ning Hanqi sent Jiang Man to her staff dormitory. At this time, the unconscious patient finally struggled to wake up.
She grabbed Ning Hanqi with her bloody hand, her eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
"Be careful..." Jiang Man's lips trembled slightly, and it took him a long time to barely utter the two words as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"You should have a good rest. Your supervisor allows you to leave work early tonight, but you still have to go to work tomorrow. And your raincoat... do you know who took it?" Ning Hanqi asked softly while sitting beside her bed.
Jiang Man nodded with difficulty. "The one who did it was the one surnamed Zhu. There was another person without a raincoat as well. The raincoats for his department were taken away by a player who left last night, but the one who instigated him behind the scenes was Sun Peng!"
She moved cautiously through the dungeons, but she never expected that she would eventually be pecked in the eye by an eagle and be cheated by the cooperating players. This must be Sun Peng's fault!
Now there are only two raincoats left, one in the restaurant and one at Sun Peng's place. After being attacked, she used props to save her life. Before she fainted, she heard the discussion between the two murderers, saying that Sun Peng's plan was indeed successful.
No wonder he kept sending messages to me. It turned out that he was asking about my whereabouts and giving directions to those two people!
When Jiang Man got excited, her mouth was full of blood. As she coughed violently, the blood slid down the corners of her mouth.
"I'm sorry. I knew there was something fishy about that Zhu guy, and I tried to avoid him, but I didn't expect him to snatch my raincoat away anyway..." Jiang Man's eyes were filled with tears. "Will my supervisor push my future work onto you too? I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble."
In fact, her tears were not only because she had caused trouble for Ning Hanqi, but also because she was in a difficult situation and could hardly move at all. With only a little over a day left before the deadline, how could she investigate? How could she continue working and escape the ghosts' pursuit?
At this time, she urgently needed a companion whom she could trust and help her.
"You only have the finishing touches left on your work, it's not too much trouble, so just rest assured. As for the raincoat, I'll find a way to get it back." If there were no raincoats in the department, it would be very troublesome to go out, and no one knew whether the madman in Room 516, Building 2... no, to be more precise, the liar would order a midnight snack at night.
Jiang Man closed her eyes and nodded with difficulty. Tears rolled down her eyes, making her look particularly pitiful.
"Wait a moment! I'll go look for food and water somewhere else." Xia Yingnuan was worried when she saw Ning Hanqi's increasingly pale face. She had just been seriously ill, and now not only could she not rest, but she was also hungry. "And by the way, let's look for the location of the other offering."
"Be careful." It was more convenient for Xia Yingnuan to move around in the cabin. Ning Hanqi knew that if he followed her, he would be a hindrance, so he advised her.
"Got it. I'll be back soon."
After Xia Yingnuan left the room, she immediately searched the other rooms as quickly as possible. There were things in the warehouse and some rooms that looked like food on the surface, but as long as she used her ghost eyes, she could see ghost insects crawling all over them. As for fresh water, there was not a drop at all.
However, she did find a warehouse specifically for storing seafood. The smell there was so fresh that it was disgusting. Xia Yingnuan blocked her sense of smell before daring to go in.
The smell here is a little bit wrong. In addition to the fishy smell of seafood, there is also a strange stench. Xia Yingnuan used her ghost power to dig up the pile of rotten seafood, and sure enough, many corpses appeared underneath. These were the flesh and blood sacrifices prepared by the old captain. Due to the high temperature, some of the corpses have already rotted. Evil ghosts will dislike them, right?
Xia Yingnuan covered the seafood again and left the warehouse quickly, as if her soul would be tainted by the smell if she stayed for another second.
On the way back, she deliberately took a detour to let the sea breeze blow on her soul and disperse the smell.
Coincidentally, because she took a detour, she happened to run into four sneaky figures plotting together, so Xia Yingnuan hid her figure and joined them.
"Oh my god, that old guy really has a demon! What should we do? We can't open that box!"
"It doesn't matter if it can't be opened. I see there's gold inside anyway. Can't we just offer the box to the gods when the time comes? The question is, what other offerings do we need besides gold? Jason, you used to have the best relationship with Bud, do you know anything about offerings?"
“…”
"Jason? Jason! Are you even listening to me?"
"Don't yell at him. Coward Jason is about to piss his pants. What if you yell at him and make him stupid?"
"I, I... I heard that we also need meat from land such as cattle and sheep." The "man" called Jason said tremblingly.
"Meat from land? Where can we get all that meat now? Isn't fish an option?"
"No, so the captain said we can use humans..." Seeing the atmosphere around him gradually become weird, Jason added hastily, "The captain has collected the bodies of those who died on the ship and placed them in the fish warehouse. He plans to use them as a sacrifice to the gods. I think we can do the same."
"It was that old man who did it! He deliberately sowed discord and made us kill each other to create a sacrifice!"
"Besides this? Is there anything else?"
"No, no more..." Jason lowered his head, his eyes revealing guilt. Xia Yingnuan was sure that he must know more details.
What does it want to do?
"Then the offerings are ready. What else do we need to do? Jason, do you know how to perform the ceremony?"
“I know, I know…” The “man” who was called a coward by his companions clenched his fists. It was trembling slightly like a timid mouse.
"But, there's a very important blueprint... There's a magic circle drawn on it. That piece of paper is very important. I don't know if it was hidden by Bud or the captain. Let's split up and look for it. Hunter and I will go back to the captain's room, and you guys go to Bud's room..."
"Oh, a coward dares to arrange us?" The "person" called Hunter said sarcastically, "Just because you have information about the sacrifice?"
"No, no, no!" Jason waved his hands hurriedly, looking like he was about to faint from being scared by Hunter.
"Heh." The companions all laughed. Perhaps it was because they thought Jason was an incompetent coward that they relaxed their vigilance and agreed to Jason's proposal.
Xia Yingnuan couldn't let these two "people" get close to the captain's room, so she prepared to use some special means. However, before she could do anything, Jason, who was walking timidly behind her, suddenly raised his axe and smashed it hard on the other's neck.
These "people" no longer belong to the category of human beings. When resentment accumulates to a certain level, it will become a terrible force. A "person" named Jason did not notice that his face had been distorted and no longer looked like a human.
When it raised the axe, Xia Yingnuan saw the mark of a sea snake on its neck, which was covered by half-long hair.
"What, what happened?" Xia Yingnuan asked as if she suddenly came to her senses.
There were people all around her, and Ning Hanqi didn't ask immediately, but the corners of her mouth flattened slightly. What was Nuannuan hiding from her?
The tool room is at the end of the guest room corridor. It contains various cleaning tools and various spare items that need to be replaced in the guest rooms on a daily basis. Thinking about the fact that a tentacle monster is imprisoned in such a place, they would not dare to accept the replacement items sent by the staff later.
Although it was daytime, the passage to the tool room was a little dim, and they heard subtle noises coming from the tool room before they got close.
“Gujiguji…”
"How are you going to kill it?" Zhuang Meng held an offensive tool in his hand. "The tool room door can only be opened with a key, unless we lure it out."
"I have a way to open the door, Miss Zhuang Meng. Any accidents may happen after the door is opened, and we may not be able to take care of you. Are you sure you want to stay here?" Ning Hanqi asked one last time before opening the door.
"Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself." Zhuang Meng waved the weapon in his hand. It was a very ancient style of wooden warehouse, perhaps it could only be seen in museums now.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ning Hanqi's eyes. Coincidentally, she recognized this wooden cannon.
Although it was a memory from a long time ago, she still couldn't forget that her brother used this wooden can to kill his parrot in order to make his sister happy.
The cause seemed to be... the little girl learned a phrase to praise her own beauty from somewhere, and then her sister who was passing by heard it, so she went to her brother and cried that the parrot pecked her face for no reason.
At that time, the brother got a wooden gun from somewhere. He didn't consider whether what his sister said was true. He only knew that his aunt made him an illegitimate child, causing him and his mother to be like rats in the gutter and unable to see the light when they were young, and his aunt's daughter made his sister unhappy.
Whether he was right or wrong, her brother just wanted to find a reason to cause trouble for her.
Later, it seemed that my brother used the wooden gun to kill someone outside. My aunt secretly used money to settle the matter. My father was furious and took away my brother's wooden gun. However, if my brother was willing to be obedient, he would let down his parents' pampering for many years. Within two days, he stole the wooden gun back.
Later, many lives were lost in this wooden warehouse, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was filled with resentment.
Ning Hanqi looked at the weapon in Zhuang Meng's hand. She remembered that this wooden cannon could not be copied. It was a unique weapon. Once a player took it away, it would no longer appear in the copy.
Nuannuan had said before that someone had entered the dungeon and taken away the item, so she only found Mrs. Xia's bracelet for herself.
Zhuang Meng, Zhuang Meng...
This shouldn't be her real name.
Zhuang Meng...is it the Zhuang Meng in Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly?
This is unfortunate. There are some posts on the forum accusing the boss of the Republic of China haunted house copy of being an arsonist of hearts. Chang Chujing even warned Ning Hanqi about this. Tracing back to the source of this topic, isn't it a post #On the copy boss I most want to marry home...# posted by a person nicknamed [Zhuang Zhou Mengdie]?
The sea hare suddenly trembled, as if it was a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, sister, this prop has the ability to kill ghosts and monsters. Does this tentacle monster have any weaknesses?" Zhuang Meng patted the little girl's shoulder.
"Yes, yes... The core is above their mouths. If there is a prop that can kill ghosts, it can be killed by directly hitting it." The weak voice of the sea hare sounded, but she was not afraid of the tentacle monster. She just had a strange feeling.
She felt a chill on her back, as if the shadow in her dream had materialized.
"Step back a moment, I'll open the door." Xia Yingnuan stared at the tentacle monster in the room and didn't dare to be distracted, so she didn't notice that Ning Hanqi's mood became a little strange.
A crisis is obviously not the time to deal with personal matters. Ning Hanqi, who had already figured out the general situation, slightly restrained his terrifying expression, then took a few steps back and stood behind Zhuang Meng and Haisui.
"Are you ready?" Ning Hanqi asked the two people.
"Yeah." The sea slug nodded.
Zhuang Meng raised the wooden barrel towards the door, indicating that he was fine.
“Crack…”
Xia Yingnuan's girlfriend's gentleness and tolerance made her tears start to uncontrollably burst out again. "Did I save the world in my previous life?"
So that's why I have the chance to meet Ning Hanqi?
"Stupid." Ning Hanqi raised his hand and tapped Xia Yingnuan's forehead affectionately. Nuannuan had misunderstood the cause and effect.
It was she who first gave him unreserved tenderness and love, which made this suspicious and petty ghost want to hold on to her at all costs.
Ning Hanqi didn’t know whether Xia Yingnuan saved the world in her previous life, but she saved herself in this life.
