Chapter 003 Netherworld Cemetery (Part 2)
At seven o'clock, everyone walked into the sales office on time.
Gou Gou pointed at the octopus-faced girl to entertain the seven people.
The octopus-faced girl bowed deeply to everyone and said, "Welcome to visit the Netherworld Cemetery. My name is Zhang Yu. This is the house viewing guide. Each person has one. Please come and get it."
The fancy, promotional-leaf-like rule sheet reads:
《Guest Rules of Netherworld Cemetery》
1. You are a tenant, don't do anything that is inconsistent with your status.
2. When visiting the community, you will be accompanied by staff throughout the visit. If a staff member disappears halfway, please complain to him and help him improve the service. After the complaint, the staff member will reappear.
In addition, there are no human staff members in this cemetery. If you see human staff members, do not talk to them. Tell the security guard and they will handle it. Shout "I need security" and they will appear.
3. Please remember that you can only visit three houses in the Nether Cemetery, and you must visit each house for at least ten minutes. When visiting the fourth house, you must buy a house in the Nether Cemetery.
4. When visiting a house, please abide by the house rules; after visiting the house, please take away personal belongings and keep the room clean.
5. If you get lost in the cemetery, just stand there and wait for the staff to arrive, or you can ask the residents of the cemetery for directions. They are hospitable and very welcoming to new neighbors.
6. The Netherworld Cemetery only welcomes polite guests. If you see a cemetery resident, please take the initiative to say hello. Otherwise, you will not be treated politely.
7. After the visit, remember to fill out the questionnaire.
There are seven rules in total. Identity and clearance methods are very important, so the first three rules are core rules. The rules related to house viewing may also be core rules. The fourth and seventh rules are questionable.
256 are auxiliary rules.
When Bai Tao finished her analysis, everyone was still reading the rules carefully.
Shi Subaru reminded: "Everyone listen to me, first memorize the rules, then put away the rule paper. Ghost stories are the public enemy of mankind. We must work together to overcome difficulties. If you find anything, please tell us and we will discuss it together."
Shi Subaru's gaze fell directly on Bai Tao.
Bai Tao kept nodding her head, yes, that’s absolutely right.
We are all human beings, there is no need to hide.
She looked at Shi Subaru with trust, and felt that this woman who had completed a ghost story copy was extremely kind, and she wanted to explain everything to her.
Baitao:......
Even a fool could tell something was wrong; she was being controlled.
Bai Tao struggles with the desire to be honest, while the college student tells about the time he wet his pants when he was 9 years old.
A minute later, Shi Subaru yelled, "I'm a sb."
The honest thought disappeared, and the others returned to normal and stopped talking. However, they seemed not to have heard Shi Subaru call himself an idiot.
Is this a gift from the world?
"Ah." Ma Li screamed, "The staff member named Zhang Yu is gone!"
"If a staff member disappears, should we file a complaint against her?" asked Xu, a college student.
Hao Shu expressed a different opinion: "What if we are lost?"
Huang Hong sneered: "How can you get lost if you just stand there without moving?"
Hao Shu held up the rule paper and argued: "You have turned yellow, how can you get lost in the same place?"
Shi Mao held his forehead and could only comfort himself. Although the two of them quarreled, at least they didn't fight. This was much better than the last time they entered the dungeon.
Xu Sheng looked at Shi Mao eagerly: "Sister, you have experience, what do you think we should do?"
"This is the lobby. The tour hasn't started yet. Let's try the second one."
Shi Mao knew very well that the longer the delay, the more dangerous it would be, so he took the lead and picked up the complaint form.
Rule 2 [If the staff disappears midway, please complain to him and help him improve his service. After the complaint, the staff will reappear. ]
At the end of writing, she stopped and asked, "Who among you remembers Zhang Yu's work number?"
The staff of the Netherworld Cemetery wore work badges, and Zhang Yu also wore one, but her badge was often covered by the octopus tentacles growing from her chin.
"976." Bai Tao answered without hesitation, "I have a better memory."
Hao Shu questioned: "Is this true? I remember you were the last one to come. Are you in league with the monsters?"
No one listened to his mumbling.
After Shi Subaru filled in her work number, the staff member's figure appeared, as if she had always been there, but they just couldn't see her before.
"Guest, what did I do wrong? Why are you complaining about me?"
Staff member Zhang Yu walked towards the fashionable woman crying, bowing all the way, bending his waist 180 degrees, and hitting the ground with his head.
It was very fast and arrived in front of the fashionable woman in the blink of an eye.
After grabbing the ground, he suddenly attacked him.
The tentacles on its chin extended and attacked the fashionable girl's heart. Shi Subaru was prepared and retreated and rolled over, hiding behind a pillar.
The group of people scattered like birds and beasts, and found that the staff was only chasing Shi Subaru.
"I was clearly following the rules, so why was I attacked? Shouldn't I complain to the staff?" Ma Li bit her hand and thought hard.
“If we don’t file a complaint, are we just going to stand there stupidly? The visiting time is limited, and we can’t let the staff delay it,” Yao Xue retorted.
Huang Hong felt like his head was about to explode. He grabbed his hair randomly, looked at everyone, and then looked at Shi Mao.
"Damn, think of a way. We can't just watch our own kind get killed, right?" Huang Hong became more and more irritated as he spoke. He even wanted to roll up his sleeves and kill the staff together with Shi Suba.
"The NPC looks very weak, let's kill her together."
Yao Xue rolled his eyes at Huang Hong and said, "Without the staff, who will show us around? Do we not want to stay in this damn place forever?"
"I think we may not be able to defeat the staff." Xu Sheng added.
Yao Xue continued, "I have an idea. If we don't write a complaint form, the staff may not attack us. As long as the six of us form a human shield and protect her in the middle, the staff will be unable to do anything to her."
"Little sister, is your guess correct?" Hao Shu questioned, "If you guess wrong, someone will die. That girl is quite capable. Maybe we can help her if we go up there."
Hao Shu opened and closed his mouth easily, but anyone with eyes could see that Shi Mao's situation was getting worse.
The staff had been hesitant and afraid of damaging the facilities in the hall, which gave Shi Subaru the opportunity to dodge.
Now, there was more and more empty space around her. She brushed past the staff's tentacles several times. Maybe next time, or the next time, she would die.
When Yao Xue saw that the only one who agreed with her proposal was Huang Hong, with whom she almost had a quarrel before, Ma Li and Xu Sheng hid in the farthest and safest place.
Hao Shu refused. The last person, Bai Tao, was rummaging through things?
Yao Xue asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Help, found him." Bai Tao lifted the white cloth, revealing a shredder inside, and threw the complaint form into it.
After taking a look at the female student, Bai Tao ordered, "Senior Yao, quickly stop Huang Hong."
The silly boy rolled up his sleeves and was about to pick a fight with the staff.
Hiss, the shredder started working, and as the complaint form turned into shredded paper, the staff's tentacles stopped and retracted back to their original shape.
"Excuse me, everyone." He was gentle and respectful, with a good service attitude, which was completely different from when he attacked Shi Subaru.
The speed of the face changing amazed everyone.
"Thank you." Shi Subaru came over and thanked everyone.
Her arm was bleeding, and she tore off her clothes and began to treat the wound.
Yao Xue curled his lips. Seeing Shi Mao in such a miserable state, the words of warning turned into sarcasm when they came to his lips: "You suffer while others enjoy themselves."
The harsh words made her face stiffen, but she couldn't bring herself to apologize, so she turned to Bai Tao and asked, "How do you know that a shredder can process complaint forms?"
"I found fragments of the complaint form in the trash can. The gaps were neat and consistent, as if they were made by a machine. I thought of using a shredder, and luckily, I found it right away."
Bai Tao expressed her thoughts: "There are no absolutely wrong rules. Thanks to Aunt Ma for reminding me that we did not break the rules. It must be Zhang Yu who needs to deal with the complaint form, so I looked for it and unexpectedly found a solution."
Ma Li smiled happily and praised back: "Young people are smart."
Shi Subaru cleaned up the bloodstains and asked the staff, "Why did you attack me?"
Zhang Yu replied with a fake smile: "It is my duty to resolve complaints."
Bai Tao: “…” You can’t solve the problem, but you should solve the person who raised the problem, right?
"Next, I will take you to visit the Netherworld Cemetery, please." Zhang Yu said calmly.
Everyone was shocked by Zhang Yu's shamelessness.
However, Gou Gou disappeared, and Zhang Yu was the only staff member left, so everyone could only bear it.
Only after all seven people agreed to proceed to the next step did Zhang Yu lead them out of the hall.
After many twists and turns, we arrived at the elevator.
"Welcome to the Netherworld Cemetery elevator. Everyone, please come in."
Having said that, the elevator door was still closed.
Huang Hong subconsciously pressed the elevator button.
Yao Xue grabbed him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Hey, Zhang Yu, how do you open the elevator?"
Zhang Yu held his hands in the air, maintaining a gesture of "please come in", motionless, repeating: "Welcome to the Netherworld Cemetery Elevator, everyone, please come in."
Yao Xue was so angry that he cursed: "Damn it, pretending to be dead at the critical moment."
What the staff asked her to do must be something bad. Yao Xue made up her mind that whoever wanted to press the elevator button could do so, but she would definitely not press it.
"Hey, that yellow-haired guy... Huang Hong, you're standing closest, just press the elevator button." Hao Shu urged, "Little sister Yao, didn't you say that time is limited? Don't stop him."
Shi Subaru smiled weakly: "Let's look for clues nearby first. Maybe new rule sheets will appear when the scene changes. Ten minutes. If you can't find any clues in ten minutes, press the elevator button."
"No need, I found it."
Bai Tao raised her hand and reached for the bulletin board on the side. Behind the promotional poster, she pulled out a piece of white paper with the words "Elevator Riding Rules" written on it.
Elevator Ride Rules
1. When taking the elevator today, you must enter the elevator with your right foot first and exit the elevator with your left foot first.
2. This elevator is a voice-controlled elevator and has no switch button. If you need to use the elevator, please shout: Open Sesame.
3. The elevator does not reach the 18th floor. If you see the elevator display showing the 18th floor, please do not get out of the elevator.
There are only three rules, simple and easy to understand. After passing them around and confirming that they are written down, new problems arise.
"Who wants to try that password?" No one had the spirit of self-sacrifice.
Xu Sheng subconsciously looked at Shi Mao, expecting this leader to speak.
Shi Subaru felt it but pretended not to see it. If the world of ghost stories continues to indulge in it, it will only breed giant babies. She did what she complained about, but she can't do it forever.
Yao Xue stepped forward and said, "Let me do it, but there is one condition. I will keep this rule paper."
Everyone looked at Bai Tao, after all, it was she who discovered the rule paper.
Bai Tao didn't care. She handed the rule paper to Yao Xue and then returned to the crowd.
"Open Sesame." The elevator dinged and opened.
The elevator has a lot of space, more than enough to accommodate seven people and a monster.
"Little girl, go in, remember to step with your right leg first." Hao Shu suggested.
Seven people lined up, stepped right foot first, and entered the elevator, and nothing happened.
The staff came in after everyone else came in.
There were so many people that Bai Tao gave up taking out his ID card and checked if there was an additional "Elevator Ride Rules" that needed to be followed.
Turning to observe the interior of the elevator, the inner wall was so smooth that it could reflect a person's reflection. It was similar to the elevators in ordinary communities, except that the reflection was not Bai Tao's own shadow, but a ghost.
Shi Subaru also noticed it.
[If you see a cemetery resident, please take the initiative to say hello]
"Hello," she greeted, startling everyone.
Mary covered her chest and almost screamed when she saw the ghost on the elevator wall.
Shi Subaru took the lead, and Bai Tao followed suit to greet the ghost. The others hesitated and also greeted the ghost one after another.
Then the ghost disappeared.
However, Bai Tao noticed that the ghost disappeared before Hao Shu, who greeted him last.
Does this mean that Hao Shu didn't say hello to the ghost?
There was another question, and Bai Tao asked the staff: "Is the person who just greeted the elevator owner? Is this her home?"
Zhang Yu replied: "Yes." Zhang Yu only responded with one word to two questions, and the meaning was very clear.
The others were confused, only Shi Mao and Yao Xue suddenly realized.
Both of them thought of the third rule of the guest rules, which states that guests must visit and can only visit three apartment types. Does the elevator count as a type of apartment?
If Bai Tao hadn't taken the initiative to talk to Guiying, no one would have connected the elevator with the apartment type.
If I unknowingly enter the fourth apartment to visit, does it count as a failure?
No one got into any accidents on the road, which made Yao Xue feel that the rules and regulations were just that, so she reflected deeply and became extremely vigilant.
"Do you feel it's getting hotter?" Huang Hong asked with a frown.
It was indeed getting hotter, and the elevator temperature was still rising.
The hotter it gets, the angrier he gets. Yao Xue scolded the staff: "Your cemetery is so hot, only fools would buy it."
Zhang Yu smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your good words."
Everyone: “…” They forgot that this is a cemetery. Not only ghosts can buy it.
Ma Li: "It's a little hot, but just bear with it. It won't kill us."
"Auntie, please don't be such a pessimist!" the uncle immediately retorted.
"You're older than I am!" Mary yelled.
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Shi Subaru interrupted, "We will be out in ten minutes at most. Talk less and save your energy for later."
The elevator fell silent.
Bai Tao was thinking, thinking about why the elevator became hot.
There are only three rules for elevators. The first two have been analyzed and no one will make mistakes, so the elevator becomes hot because of the third rule. The eighteenth floor will be here soon.
"I can't stand it anymore, it's too hot." Regardless of the presence of girls, Huang Hong lifted up his T-shirt, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and used the hem as a fan to fan himself up and down.
Everyone looked at him worriedly, fearing that Huang Hong would be attacked for "doing something inconsistent with his status."
Nothing happened and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Hao Shu was wearing the most clothes and couldn't stand the heat. Seeing that Huangmao was fine, he bravely took off his coat and put it on his hand.
With a ding, the elevator door finally opened and a cool breeze blew in. Hao Shu's eyes lit up and he was about to rush out of the elevator.
Yao Xue reminded: "This is the 18th floor, don't go out."
Hao Shu turned a deaf ear.
Shi Mao reached out and grabbed Hao Shu's arm. Hao Shu was extremely strong at this moment. He broke free and rushed into the darkness without stopping, shouting, "Wife, wait for me."
