Chapter 256: There was one player missing from the beginning?
This possibility.
I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the statue.
Song Mang thought for a moment and asked Xi Jinzhi, "Does this instance comply with the Netherworld Agreement? Are there any violations?"
“There are no violations.”
Xi Jinzhi glanced at her and said, "Most illegal dungeons are discovered by Youming not long after they are created, and are rarely discovered by players.
All illegal copies have now been processed, and there should be no illegal copies for the time being."
"I see."
Song Mang touched his chin and had some guesses in his mind, "So, do you think the food tonight is edible?"
"Then we have to go and see it first."
The two went to the first floor together first.
When I got to the first floor, I found that the other players were standing in a neat row at the edge of the living room.
If it weren't for the fact that these people were wearing different clothes, at first glance they would look like service staff of an ancient castle.
Those standing there were all employee players. Some of them had a confused look of shock on their faces, and their eyes kept looking towards the stairs.
These people were the ones who delivered food to the teenager together with Wei Tao. They were still scared after running down.
For them, the boy's fighting ability was too strong, at least above the level of Ghost General, which was no longer a level they could deal with.
According to the current strange classification, even practitioners can only deal with evil ghosts or rakshasas easily. If they encounter ghost generals or above, they have no ability to fight back unless they have high-level ghost cards or ghost weapons.
"Guests are welcome to take their seats."
Next to the living room is the dining room. Aunt Bai stood at the door of the restaurant and motioned the guests to go in and have their meal.
When Song Mang entered the restaurant, he saw a long dining table filled with delicious dishes.
Why is it called a delicious dish?
Because these foods are all made by employee players, Aunt Bai only provides the ingredients.
The dishes made by players are definitely dishes that humans like to eat, rather than weird things like fried human skin and roasted human brains that will reduce your SAM value at first sight.
It smells nice too.
After Song Mang sat down, he specially summoned the little Pixiu to check if there was anything wrong with the dishes.
"No problem."
The little Pixiu said to Song Mang, "The dishes this time are much more normal than last time. There's no rotten meat, and there's no strong ghost or corpse aura. It looks like ordinary human food!"
Xi Jinzhi was sitting next to Song Mang and said, "Well, it's quite fresh. It must have been freshly killed."
After he finished speaking, he picked up a piece of fried pork slices with chopsticks, placed it in the bowl and looked at it for a while.
Then he put down his chopsticks and didn't eat.
Song Mang asked him, "Isn't it fresh? So it's okay? Then why don't you eat it?"
He replied, "I really want to eat it, but I'm afraid it will scare you, so I decided not to eat it."
Song Mang: "..."
It’s just a dish, what’s there to be scared about?
Song Mang felt quite hungry when she saw dishes like braised pork and grilled lamb chops on the table.
She picked up a piece of braised pork and was about to eat it, but Xi Jinzhi stopped her and said, "You'd better not eat it. It's okay for me to eat it, but not for you."
Song Mang frowned and said, "What do you mean? Can you just say it directly?"
Does this guy have to say something vague?
He sighed, "I've already said I can't speak directly. This involves the secrets of how the dungeon operates."
"So there's something wrong with the meat?"
Although Xi Jinzhi did not answer, Song Mang suddenly thought of a key point.
That is, Xi Jinzhi is a highly weird guy, and she is a human!
This guy is quite powerful. He is in a solid state under the sunlight and looks almost like a living person. Song Mang almost forgot that he is actually a ghost!
Because Song Mang picked up the meat but didn't eat it in the end, the other guests and players noticed it and didn't dare to eat it either.
Aunt Bai walked in and said, "Guests, why aren't you enjoying your dinner yet? Is it not to your liking?"
No one spoke.
Aunt Bai looked a little disappointed and said, "Guests, our staff spent a lot of time making this, how could you not eat a single bite?
If you don't eat a single bite, wouldn't that be a waste of everyone's hard work?
In addition, it is not easy to get food into the castle, and we can't go out to buy food, so we must not waste food! Those who waste food will not have a good end! "
When she finished speaking, Aunt Bai's tone suddenly became cold, and she stared at everyone with a fierce look in her eyes.
Everyone was startled by her eyes and felt a chill down their spine.
Song Mang also felt that Aunt Bai's aura was much stronger than that of the young man just now!
She thought of the boy saying "It's the Ghost King again" to her nine-piece bone whip before he ran away.
That means there is already a ghost king in this building?
Is it Aunt Bai, or that thing on the third floor?
Just as he thought of this, Song Mang saw Aunt Bai appear silently behind a guest.
She held a knife and fork in each hand, pointed it at the guest's head, and said coldly, "Guest, you'd better not waste food!"
The guest player was so frightened that his face turned pale and he sat in his chair, not daring to move.
Or it should be said that it was not that he was afraid to move, but that he was completely unable to move!
Aunt Bai’s aura is too powerful!
At this time, a player outside the restaurant said, "Isn't it written in the rules? It's best not to refuse the hostess's hospitality! Hurry up and eat!"
If you don't eat it, you are violating the rules and will definitely trigger the death condition!
We made these dishes, and we've seen the ingredients. They're all fine and edible for humans!"
Another employee player also said, "We checked the ingredients and there is no rotten meat, all are fresh meat, and there is nothing wrong with the vegetables!
This means these ingredients are meant for humans to eat, not for monsters to eat!"
"Okay, I'll eat it! I'll eat it!"
The guest player that Aunt Bai had targeted quickly swallowed a piece of braised pork and took a mouthful of rice.
After seeing this scene, Aunt Bai left from behind him.
The player felt that the strange power that was locked on him disappeared!
When the other guests saw this, they also started eating the dishes on the table, except Song Mang and Xi Jinzhi.
Aunt Bai stood at the end of the table, her eyes passing over Xi Jinzhi, and she looked at Song Mang intently and said, "Sir, why aren't you enjoying your meal yet? Don't you want to eat?"
"It's not that I don't want to eat, it's that I want to drink. I'm used to drinking a little wine with my meals."
Aunt Bai paused and said, "So what kind of wine do you want to drink? Red wine or white wine? I'll get it for you."
"I want some strong liquor."
Aunt Bai had obviously never heard of this wine and looked a little confused. "What kind of wine is this?"
Song Mang grinned at her, "Drink Jinjiu and beat up friends and family, haven't you heard of it? This kind of wine is a must-have in my family during the New Year and other festivals.
You invited us to be your guests, but you don't even have such basic wine. Isn't that inappropriate?"
Aunt Bai heard this and pulled her lips together with a forced smile. "I'll have someone prepare it right away. Please wait a moment."
Aunt Bai turned and left the restaurant.
Seeing this, Song Mang got up from his seat and planned to go to the kitchen to check the remaining ingredients.
She was about to ask where the kitchen was when she heard the staff players in the living room talking.
"Have you noticed that there seems to be one person missing?"
"I counted when I entered the dungeon. There were eighteen people in total. How come there are only seventeen here?"
"The number of guest players is correct, a total of five guests. The missing one is an employee player. Wei Tao has come down from the second floor, and there's no one upstairs. Where is the missing person?"
"There are five guest players, which means there are thirteen employee players. That's not right. When we went to work, there were only twelve employees. We never saw the thirteenth employee!"
When Song Mang heard this, he realized that Aunt Bai had returned.
