Chapter 78 Full-time Employees
Chapter 78 Full-time Employees
They heard the news that they could finally get out.
The panda man almost cried tears of joy. "That's great! I'll never come to this kind of awful place again, and I'll never be a hunter again."
Everyone's situation is pretty much the same.
It should be noted that this building originally had thirty-one residents.
Now, only a little over ten people have come downstairs to this place.
Even with Lin Yue and the other two included, there are still less than fifteen.
In other words, the vast majority of the rest died in some unknown corner of the building, without even a sound.
Nearly half of the population died.
They've been driven almost crazy.
Now that there is finally hope, those emotions will naturally burst forth.
The fox-like woman, however, wasn't overly agitated. Her eyes were fixed on the back of the person with the paper bag over their head. After a moment's hesitation, she suddenly stepped forward, stood beside Lin Yue, and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Do you think there's a problem?"
Lin Yue was taken aback.
He didn't understand why this woman insisted on coming over to ask for his opinion.
However, he finally said, "It's nothing, it's just that I feel that the so-called owner of the garden doesn't seem like a good person."
"...So what do you plan to do?"
"I don't know yet, but let's be prepared, something might happen next," Lin Yue said.
The fox woman nodded.
In her eyes, this paper bag man was definitely a seasoned hunter with reliable abilities.
If we really encounter danger.
The chances of survival are definitely higher if you follow him.
Upon learning that he could survive, Scarface was no longer so nervous.
He glanced at the clown who hadn't made a single move.
He snorted coldly, then put away his axe and said to everyone, "Alright, calm down. Let's just wait here until dawn, then we can get out of this hellhole."
He was clearly the one who lost his composure just now.
But now it's his turn to lecture everyone to calm down.
This scene actually looks somewhat ironic.
"Oh."
Just then, a very faint, cold laugh suddenly reached my ears.
Lin Yue almost reflexively looked in the direction from which the sound came.
But then they saw the person wearing a Peking Opera clown mask standing there.
However, the person remained as still as a puppet, without making any unnecessary movements.
That cold laugh seemed like an illusion.
"Was that person just laughing?" Lin Yue couldn't help but wonder to herself.
After a brief period of excitement...
The crowd finally quieted down.
Everyone kept checking the time on their watches, wishing that midnight would come quickly.
Lin Yue also looked at her phone, which had no signal.
22: 46.
There was still more than an hour until midnight.
In other words, they have a little over an hour left before they can leave.
However, at this very moment...
A crisp bell suddenly rang out from the elevator entrance.
"bite--"
Everyone was stunned.
The fox-like woman beside Lin Yue exclaimed in surprise, "Why are there people only coming down now?"
There are so many ghosts in the building that you can't count them all.
They all thought everyone upstairs was dead.
I never expected that anyone would still be able to hold on until now.
This was truly unexpected for everyone.
However, the moment the elevator doors opened, everyone froze, enveloped in a wave of fear.
There used to be a corpse inside that elevator, which had been killed by a ghost.
But now, standing next to the corpse, there was another figure.
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
Only then did I see that the figure was wearing a black work uniform and a baseball cap with the three blood-red characters "Pingxiangyuan" written on it. The brim of the cap covered the person's entire face, but through the exposed chin, I could still see that the person's skin was a bluish-gray like that of a dead person.
At this moment, everyone standing in the front desk room froze.
Because right on the wall, there was a note that read: "Do not approach the staff in black uniforms; they are official employees."
Full-time employee?
Evil spirit?
When this full-time employee appeared.
A layer of ethereal and eerie gray mist rose from somewhere in the corridor on this floor.
Even the surrounding shadows seemed to be alive, slowly expanding and flowing.
Anxiety began to spread like a plague.
But the scarred man gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, hold your ground. Let's see what this new employee is up to."
We'll be able to leave soon.
What is this thing doing here again?!
Lin Yue quietly retreated behind the crowd.
The vixen-like woman saw Lin Yue's actions and followed suit, hiding behind him.
Lin Yue glanced at her through the paper bag, then turned her head and whispered, "If you find something's wrong, run immediately."
The fox-woman clenched her fist and nodded heavily.
Before she knew it, her palms were covered in cold sweat.
Let's turn our attention back to the elevator entrance.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The full-time employee suddenly took a step out of the elevator.
"tread--"
Stiff footsteps echoed down the corridor.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
The employees in black uniforms continued walking forward.
At this moment, the surrounding lights began to flash violently.
The wall plaster and flooring, as if hundreds of years had passed in a few seconds, began to peel off and fade in large quantities, turning into pieces of debris.
Those notes pasted on the wall turned into a pile of black mud in the blink of an eye.
A terrifying scene.
It was like a scream in everyone's mind.
A multitude of eerie whispers appeared in my ears.
Several people covered their faces and collapsed to the ground in pain.
"ah--!!"
"What's wrong?!"
Everyone was in a state of panic.
They quickly removed the hands of the fallen people and discovered that their eyes were bloodshot, their mouths were slurred, and their pupils were filled with chaos and madness.
Scarface cursed, "Those who think they have weak wills should look away! Don't look..."
But he didn't finish his sentence.
Everyone's pupils dilated instantly, and they all gasped in shock.
Scarface immediately realized something was wrong.
He immediately turned his head away.
It turns out that at some point, the regular employee who was standing at the bottom of the stairs suddenly leaped more than ten meters in one step and appeared in front of everyone in an instant.
Humans and ghosts are now so close together.
They could even see the tiny, soybean-sized livid spots on the skin of the regular employee.
The atmosphere of fear instantly soared to its peak.
Everyone trembled violently, their pupils dilating.
At that moment, the regular employee simply raised his arm.
"boom--"
The light bulb overhead exploded instantly.
Then, within a three-meter radius of it, four or five people all fell to the ground, their eyes turning gray and their breaths gone, like a circle of cut wheat.
They are all dead.
Scarface was lucky to escape with his life at the edge of a three-meter radius.
At that moment, his heart felt as if it had stopped beating.
I was so terrified I almost fainted.
But he suddenly realized something.
The note said they could go out in the early morning.
But first they need to survive until then.
"Run, everyone!"
I don't know who shouted it out at the top of their lungs.
Those who were still alive trembled and ran away like antelopes being chased by lions.
