Chapter 254
But the expected tone never sounded. Instead, all they heard was static.
Zhang Bei stood behind the others, watching the green light flash on his little sphere.
He adjusted his voice changer, and an eerie voice rang out.
“You can’t escape!”
Hearing that voice through the walkie-talkies, both men were engulfed in terror.
As the pack of vengeful ghosts approached, they pressed themselves against the wall, their hearts pounding ever harder.
Finally, Li Yang crept close to them, and a single shriek put them both down.
At that very moment, a soft, frail voice sounded in the dark passage.
“Why are there so many people here?”
The voice made the entire group of ghosts turn around.
A young woman stood there holding a mask, her innocent eyes filled with disbelief.
Seeing the two men lying on the ground, alive or dead she couldn’t tell, she truly wished her parents had given her two more legs.
She ran at full speed, almost matching an athlete who had trained for years.
Standing among the group, You Bai watched the young woman turn and flee, then let out a long sigh.
Oh, this was bad!
Why were you running?
The more you ran, the more excited these people would get!
Events unfolded exactly as You Bai had predicted. Brimming with excitement, the group gave chase.
Of them all, Luo Yi ran the fastest.
To drag a good brother down with him, he was truly giving it everything he had today.
God knew what kind of life he had been living lately.
Just a few fucking days ago, he had approached some streamers to do promotional work.
They had opened with, “Is that the Amusement Park where the staff were scared into quitting?”
Such a tiny sentence. Such an enormous wound.
One or two would have been bearable.
The problem was, he had contacted more than a dozen fucking streamers, and every single one opened with that line.
For a while, even he, the manager, had considered resigning.
Whoever wants to stay in this fucking dump can stay. I’m sick of taking this crap!
But now things were gradually looking up.
As long as they dragged Disney down today, Future Amusement Park would definitely stop being the first place people thought of.
Fueled by boundless motivation, Luo Yi chased madly after the young woman ahead.
All along the way, the lights flickered.
Boss Zhang was also controlling the walkie-talkies, sending eerie laughter through them from time to time.
The frantic chase lasted only five minutes.
After she fled into a room, there was nowhere left to go.
The place looked like a high-tech operating theater.
Beds covered with white sheets filled the room.
Judging by the shapes beneath them, they were obviously corpses.
Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes. He could easily make out the chests rising and falling beneath the sheets.
Living people meant NPCs.
And NPCs meant fun was on its way.
Taking Li Yang with him, Zhang Bei crept up to a metal bed and swiftly pulled off the white sheet.
The NPC hidden beneath it froze. His eyes were tiny; his bewilderment was anything but.
Then a scream from the young woman nearby brought him to his senses.
Looking across the room, he saw a group of floating skins surrounding the only female NPC.
And right beside him stood two hideously grimacing ghosts.
The visual shock made his brain frantically send signals to flee.
Unfortunately, human control over the body did not depend on the brain alone.
Brain: “Legs, run!”
Legs: “We’ve gone limp! We can’t!”
The exchange above perfectly described the NPC’s physical condition.
After all, he hadn’t undergone Boss Zhang’s training. How could he possibly withstand a scene like this?
With two vengeful ghosts pursuing him and cutting off his escape, he crawled barely five meters before simply passing out.
Among this increasingly deranged group, fainting was actually a blessing.
The young woman trapped in the corner wasn’t so lucky.
Tears were already streaming down her face.
“Please, don’t eat me! My meat’s sour! It doesn’t taste good!”
Determined to carry out his grand plan, Luo Yi hardened his heart.
“Heh, heh, heh… Human flesh. It’s been so long since I tasted any!”
“Please, let me go! I’m just an employee! Our manager’s a foreigner. Her meat must taste good!”
Zhang Bei’s deep voice sounded behind them.
“Move.”
The group immediately cleared a path.
They knew perfectly well who called the shots here.
Watching the vengeful ghost approach, the young woman huddled in the corner, trembling.
The other ghosts looked as if they might eat her.
But the one walking toward her now radiated the unmistakable intention to carve off her flesh this very instant!
No matter how she looked at it, none of this seemed like acting!
Watching Zhang Bei walk away, You Bai silently turned her head aside.
She hoped the girl would still have the courage to work here after today.
Zhang Bei finally reached the young woman. Unfortunately, she had already fainted completely.
Luo Yi, standing nearby, cautiously took two steps back.
When Boss Zhang had walked over just now, never mind the girl, even he had wondered whether this bastard really intended to kill someone and eat a piece of meat to liven things up.
Zhang Bei let out a long sigh and led the group along the Employee Passage in search of the remaining NPCs.
Meanwhile, in a secret training camp in the Amazon Jungle, a man covered in blood slowly climbed out of a crocodile pool, a small knife in his hand.
Ever since he had been discovered while protecting Zhang Bei, and then knocked unconscious, he had been training here for who knew how long.
Now he had achieved the feat of taking on ten crocodiles alone with a single knife.
Next: return home and take revenge!
Throughout all this training, his greatest motivation had been that man who was ostensibly a scientist, but was actually an amusement park owner capable of sending him flying with one punch.
Until the day he defeated him, it felt as though ants were crawling all over his body.
Looking at the helicopter in the sky that had come to pick him up, the bodyguard casually wiped the blood from his face.
Tomorrow, he could finally have his revenge!
He had suffered for so long, even facing death more times than he could count.
All that effort had finally become strength.
Boss Zhang, meanwhile, was enjoying his extraordinary entertainment, utterly unaware of how hard certain people had worked because of him.
Yanjing. Junyue Grand Hotel.
Dragging his exhausted body along, Meng Chuan collapsed onto the bed.
His girlfriend hurriedly poured him a glass of water.
“What on earth happened? How did you end up being kept isolated just for attending a meeting?”
Meng Chuan rubbed his eyes in a daze.
Before coming here, he really had believed his boss’s bullshit.
All you have to do is listen!
Fuck that!
This conference would last at least five days. And just look at the people sitting up there!
Fully half of Asia had sent people. The conference room was packed.
If they weren’t a country’s leader, they were some leading figure in its military.
He alone was a lowly secretary.
Most infuriating of all, the person heading the Huaxia delegation kept asking his opinion whenever there was a spare moment.
It was hard for anyone to imagine what it was like, trembling in the midst of all those powerful figures.
He was just about to explain to his girlfriend when a knock suddenly came at the door.
