Monster Escape Room Re-Employment Chapter 18
byA world where only the logistics team is injured (1)
“Store manager, the compass pointer of “Lucky Girl” is broken.” Midnight Clown, who is responsible for managing props in the logistics team, reported in the store manager’s office.
Jiang Lingyi frowned: “If it breaks, just buy another one. Do you have to ask me?”
“The funds…”
“Twenty yuan at most, and you can figure out the rest by yourself.”
“Okay.” The clown was not surprised. There are a lot of second-hand software for this kind of thing, and you can buy it easily.
Jiang Lingyi is having a headache with the current passenger flow data. It has improved a lot compared to when he first took over, but the goal of 5,000 people is still far away.
“Store manager, we can keep this store, right?” The clown cast an earnest look.
Jiang Lingyi waved his hand to let him out without answering directly.He had vaccinated Lou Xian from the beginning, and the Haikou he boasted to Wu Yuanyuan was just a white lie, and the possibility of it being realized within a month was close to zero.
However, as the date drew closer and closer, Jiang Lingyi still felt unwilling to do so.In the past, when faced with a business that had no hope of completion, he could accept failure calmly. His two years of career taught him a crucial truth: many things in this world will be rewarded without hard work.The most important thing is to give up useless work as soon as possible and devote yourself to your next career.
If this store was just his business, he would still be able to stand up gracefully, wave his sleeves, and not take away a single cloud.
However, the Phantom Chamber is not his alone.
Lou Xian, the cute wandering soul, the mean but responsible Brother Bandage, the silent and conscientious Ripper, the frivolous and narcissistic but omnipotent Bai Wuchang… The phantom chamber belongs to many people, and it truly sustains their lives.
He has always been very aware of the weight of this burden on his shoulders. Because he was too clear, he refused to accept it at first. Even if he accepted it, he would add “(agent)” to the title of store manager, as if that would remove him from the powerless situation and cleanly shirk responsibility: Look, I am just an (agent) store manager, and I have tried my best.
Even if employees accuse him of shirking responsibility and breaking his promises, he can still bear it.Lou Xian would not blame him, but not blaming him made Jiang Lingyi feel more uncomfortable than blaming him.
He had an inexplicable feeling that if he failed to save Youhuan, the relationship between Lou Xian and him might end here. There would always be an insurmountable gap between them, and there would always be an insurmountable gap between them. The kind and gentle Lou Xian could not ignore the life and death of his subordinates and be happy with Jiang Lingyi. He would very likely disappear again and never come back, as if he had never appeared before.
Jiang Lingyi went to the bathroom to wash her face, put her hands on the sink, and looked up at herself in the mirror.
He doesn’t want to admit defeat yet.
He didn’t want to blame everything on fate.
Instead of regretting later that “if I had tried my best, the result would have been different”, it is better to push myself again now.
“Store manager.” Hei Wuchang opened the door and poked out a dark head, “Pang Mei has brought someone here, do you want to come out and take a look.”
Oops, I didn’t see it. That silly boy made friends in just a few days and even brought them to the store to play. He’s really made progress.
“Who is afraid of whom? It’s up to you to choose!”
“Your legs are shaking, stop pretending.”
“Huh, huh! It’s obvious that you are nervous, don’t think I can’t tell!”
“But I’m already familiar with the employees here.” Pang Mei scratched his head, “I scared the hell out of several college students when I first appeared here.”
Lian Shuhuai is doubtful. Does Pang Mei really have such exciting after-school fun?”Did you make it up?”
“Master Lian… Do we also want to play together…” The fat man and the thin man hugged each other and shivered.
Jiang Lingyi saw Lian Shuhuai chatting passionately with Pang Mei in the hall, and his head was buzzing from their noise.
“What’s going on?” Jiang Lingyi skillfully grabbed Pang Mei’s back collar and pushed him aside.
“He, he said that our little shabby shop was about to close down and that he wanted us to close early. I said that he was just afraid of horror games and a coward. He said that he was not, so I dragged him here…” Pang Mei spoke softer and quieter, thinking that he had gotten into some trouble again.
The first half is quite sensational, but this shopping mall is the property of the iF Group, and Lian Shuhuai is the second young master, so it is really easy to find out about the phantom secret room.
Fortunately, Pang Mei changed the style of the playboy bullying the store owner to a youth test of courage, otherwise the arrogant Lian Ershao might have done something.
The three of them were also passengers, and Jiang Lingyi really wanted Lian Shao and his fat and thin guardian to experience what real terror was.
“Sorry, the mall stipulates that minors must be accompanied by an adult before they can play a horror escape room, which is a safety risk.”
Lian Shuhuai was obviously relieved: “That’s it, what a pity.”
“Don’t you have a parent?” Pang Mei squinted provocatively.
The simple-minded Second Young Master immediately took the bait and picked up his phone: “Hello? Brother, I’m in the Phantom Chamber. Only adults can play together. It’s about my dignity. You must come!”
Upon hearing that Lian Moqin was coming, Jiang Lingyi turned around and walked towards the employee passage.
Hei Wuchang flicked the sleeves of his Warring States robe and wrapped them around his neck: “Store manager! Don’t run away!”
“Let me go first… I won’t be able to breathe…”
“Ahem, let’s see which theme you want to choose first.” Jiang Lingyi took them to the billboard at the door to introduce it.
“”Mountain Village Wedding Banquet” is the one that most guests choose. It is a very classic Chinese horror.”
“Oh, it’s the dark place with the ghost bride and octopus tentacles, right? I also caught a wandering soul there.” Pang Mei added.
Lian Shuhuai was surprised: This guy is so courageous that he can actually molest an NPC?!
I wonder what unbearable and wonderful expression he would have on his face if he saw the surveillance video of the first appearance of Niba Pangmei.
In fact, Jiang Lingyi had already asked Brother Bandage for the video and asked Bai Wuchang to make it into a short video for release. Although there was a snowflake screen with chaotic radio waves in the middle, it increased the sense of mystery and horror. This was a real supernatural video with no special effects.Living up to expectations, it became popular on social networks and attracted a wave of supernatural shop bloggers. The bloggers also brought many fans and paranormal enthusiasts, and the traffic drainage effect was quite good.
“Don’t want this.” Lian Shuhuai thought. It seemed that Pang Mei was already familiar with this theme, which was not conducive to his victory.
Jiang Lingyi continued to introduce: “”The Secret of Love” is in a modern urban style, telling the story of a mysterious corpse case that happened in a love hotel.”
The picture of the secret room on the board clearly showed a mirrored room and a heart-shaped bed. The pink ambient lighting was ambiguous and psychedelic, reflecting the deep red blood stains extending from the floor to the ceiling.
Lian Shuhuai’s face turned from red to white, and from white to red.
“It’s too unsound, I don’t want this.”
“Then there is only the last one left, “Fortunate Girls’ High School”, which is campus-themed.”
Lian Shuhuai felt that he was more familiar with the school environment than Pang Mei, and he was at least a comparable opponent on this subject.
“Okay, let’s do this.”
Jiang Lingyi suddenly remembered that the clown had reported that the prop was broken, and called him over: “Do you have any spare ones? Or fine-tune the task line involving the compass.”
“I found spare parts in the warehouse.” The clown felt guilty. In fact, he had just gone out and turned right and saw a wall clock thrown away by others in the trash can. Thinking that the hands should be about the same, he removed the hands from the wall clock and installed it on the compass.
“Okay, what about the difficulty level, is it slightly scary, medium scary, or high scary?”
Lian Shuhuai tried his best: “Since I have chosen the theme, you can decide the difficulty.”
Jiang Lingyi put his hands in his pockets. The mouths of these two brats are more courageous than those of them. They should be tougher than they are with their mouths.
Pang Mei touched his chin. It wasn’t mildly spicy, medium spicy, or very spicy. It was probably all the same to him. Anyway, the NPCs he met were all fellow countrymen.
He gave the choice to the fat man and the thin man. They burst into tears of gratitude and said in unison: “Just a little fear will do!”
Lian Shuhuai remained calm on the surface, but he had already shouted yes in his heart and praised them severely.
After finalizing the theme and difficulty, they could start when Lian Mo Qin came over. Everyone waited for a while, and Lian Shuhuai became increasingly anxious. He was about to make another call to urge people, when a figure appeared at the door.
He was tall and tall, wearing a black hood, mask, and sunglasses, and his whole body was covered tightly.
ah?
What kind of Middle Eastern gangster?
