As the food was served, Shui Jing Jing was the first to take a taste.
Seeing that she was fine, the other players began to eat heartily.
Ghost Chef watched as the players ate without a care, a sinister smile creeping onto his face.
The food itself was certainly safe, but there was more at play than just the food.
The players had experienced too many terrifying events in the game; at that moment, a warm bowl of food brought them not only satisfaction but also a sense of joy in being alive.
To be alive means to eat! This is proof of existence!
After they finished eating, Ghost Chef arrived fashionably late, slamming the tray down on the wooden table.
"Pay up!"
[Player: Lin Xun, your meal costs one tael of silver. Please place the silver in the tray!]
Lin Xun heard the system prompt in his mind.
It seemed that the other players received the same notification from the System Prompt.
A chill ran through everyone; the joy of being alive vanished in an instant!
Xie Tengfei had clearly anticipated what would come next.
As an experienced player, he understood the game's mechanics better than others.
He took out a large bag of silver from his pocket and placed it on the tray.
He was treating his team!
"Do you have any money?" Lin Xun asked Hua Tian.
Hua Tian pulled a silver ingot from her pocket.
When they received their characters, the System allocated some silver based on their identities.
After a moment of thought, Hua Tian handed the ingot to Lin Xun.
"What will you do if you give me your silver?" Lin Xun asked.
Hua Tian bit her lip. "Mr. Lin, you've helped me so much; I want to help you just this once!"
Throughout this journey, if it hadn't been for Lin Xun's assistance, she would have died dozens of times already.
She knew that Lin Xun's profession was Destitute Poet, and as the name suggested, he had no money. If he had no money, how could he afford to support a Ghost Chef?
Lin Xun had saved her life many times, and she hoped to return the favor at least once.
But she could only help him this one time...
Xie Tengfei's team left the wooden table.
At this moment, only Lin Xun, Hua Tian, Shui Jing Jing, Huang Shang, and Qiu Ning remained.
The Ghost Chef looked at Shui Jing Jing and Huang Shang.
Shui Jing Jing was a dancer, with only a couple of silver coins in her pocket.
Huang Shang was a chef, and he too had just a couple of silver coins.
One of them ordered the Crystal Pork Knuckle.
The other ordered the Roasted Lamb.
Both were substantial dishes.
The price for each dish was two silver coins.
Shui Jing Jing looked at the Ghost Chef in a flustered manner.
They were seated while the chef stood.
Her gaze fell upon the countless faces sewn into the Ghost Chef's pants.
Among them, several faces seemed to be smiling at her in a peculiar way.
Her SAN Value was plummeting!
[Warning: The player's current SAN Value is 65%. If the SAN Value drops below 60%, there is a chance the player will transform into a Gui Wu!]
She didn't want to die!
She didn't want to die!
She didn't want to die!
With a face full of terror, she looked at Huang Shang.
Huang Shang held her in his arms, gently stroking her pale face.
"It's okay, it's okay."
As Huang Shang's soothing words reached her, Shui Jing Jing's anxiety finally began to settle.
Her SAN Value also started to stabilize.
Watching Shui Jing Jing's breathing grow steadier, Huang Shang leaned down slightly and kissed her forehead.
He spoke softly, filled with regret, "I'm sorry..."
In the next moment, he abruptly snatched the one or two silver coins from Shui Jing Jing's hand, along with his own, and tossed them into the tray.
Shui Jing Jing initially couldn't believe what Huang Shang had done.
She suddenly looked up at Huang Shang, then incredulously at her empty hands.
Her eyes were filled with confusion until Ghost Chef lifted her hair, and she finally realized what had happened.
A terrifying scream echoed throughout the small courtyard.
The door of the Small House swung open.
The Ren Tou piled inside the Small House let out a sinister laugh.
The horrifying laughter filled the entire courtyard.
"No! No! No! Huang Shang, save me! Save me!"
Shui Jing Jing cried out for help, calling her boyfriend's name.
She hoped he would come to her rescue!
Huang Shang covered his ears, unwilling to listen to his girlfriend's desperate pleas...
They were supposed to get married in three months...
How did it come to this?
Why did it come to this?
Shui Jing Jing's body was discarded like trash, thrown into the Small House.
Countless pieces of flesh transformed into the living Blood Flesh Quicksand, devouring her body... Gradually, Shui Jing Jing's figure disappeared from everyone's sight...
The wails faded away, and everything returned to silence...
As if nothing had ever happened.
"Dog man!"
"Men are truly worthless!"
"Damn it, to survive, he even killed his own girlfriend!"
The Danmaku was filled with curses.
Huang Shang covered his face and cried, "I didn't mean to! I didn't mean to!"
Lin Xun was speechless.
The dog man killed the one who caused his girlfriend's death and didn't even dare to admit it.
Since he was willing to sacrifice his girlfriend for survival, why not acknowledge his own flaws?
How humble and timid, lacking any sense of responsibility!
At that moment, the Ghost Chef pushed a tray in front of Lin Xun and his companions.
Qiu Ning was the first to toss her silver coins into the tray.
She happened to have just enough silver in her pocket.
It was just enough to cover her meal.
Finally, it was Lin Xun and Hua Tian's turn.
However, neither of them was willing to pay.
"What’s the matter? No money?"
A sinister smile crept across the Ghost Chef's face as his four hands twitched with anticipation.
"Do you need someone to wash the dishes here?" Lin Xun asked casually.
The Ghost Chef remained silent.
He placed the plate in his mouth, crunching it like a potato chip, then swallowed it whole.
"What do you think?"
He placed his hand on Lin Xun's head again.
"I see your head is bigger than average. Later, I’ll dig out your brain and put it in a Skull, add a bit of lemon, and it will surely taste delicious!"
Hua Tian's face turned increasingly pale with terror.
"Lin Xun, give him the money!"
They only had a couple of silver coins between them. If Lin Xun paid, Hua Tian would be doomed!
At that moment, the one whose brain would become a dish would be Hua Tian!
Hua Tian's face was ashen, yet he showed no signs of wavering.
Lin Xun took out a pink money pouch from his pocket, which was embroidered with the character for "cow."
He opened the pouch and placed a ten-tael silver ingot on the tray.
"Is this enough?"
The Ghost Chef looked at the ten-tael silver ingot, gritting his teeth in hatred.
But he could only bite his lip and say, "It's enough!"
"Who told you to leave? I haven't finished speaking yet!"
“……”
“This ten taels of silver is your advance payment. From now on, we will be dining here for all our meals. You’ll need to prepare the dishes! Make sure they’re edible!”
The Ghost Chef raised the kitchen knife.
[Warning: As a member of the Service Industry, you cannot rudely refuse reasonable requests from customers.]
“May I ask about your dining time…”
“Just handle it as you see fit.”
Lin Xun, fearing that the Ghost Chef might create trouble for him, added quickly, “Make sure you understand, only when she and I are eating counts as your service target.” He pointed to himself and Hua Tian.
The Ghost Chef nodded with a stiff neck.
[It seems something significant is about to happen on the first floor.]
A notification from the System chimed in.
Hua Tian and Lin Xun exchanged glances.
The two immediately headed toward the first floor.
At this moment, all players gathered on the first floor.
A bloody Ren Tou was placed on the stage.
They had seen that Ren Tou before.
It was Xie Ruyi's Ren Tou!
White smoke rose again, and after Ghost Madam spotted Lin Xun in the crowd, she walked over with a sense of relief.
She knelt on the ground, crying out to the Ren Tou, "Yan Ruyi, who could have done this to you? How could someone be so heartless as to dismember you! Everyone, please help me find Yan Ruyi's body!"
[Main Quest updated: Find Xie Ruyi's corpse fragment (Current progress 7/0)]
[Note 1: In the end, she is everywhere!]
[Note 2: This quest will determine the final outcome.]
