It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?
Chapter 1 Bloody Restaurant
Chapter 1 Bloody Restaurant
"Character card is being generated."
"ID: Liu Zheng (editable)"
"Level: lv1"
"Strength: 14"
"Constitution: 12?"
"Spirit: 11"
"Perception: 10"
Looking at the character panel in front of him, Liu Zheng was a little confused.
He just filled out a questionnaire and was selected into some hellish game.
Are these main gods so casual in recruiting people now?
People who work for Amway will also ask about the family situation.
"The instance will open in an hour, please be prepared."
The mechanical voice sounded again, and a countdown prompt appeared on the panel.
"Isn't it too inhumane to ask a person with ALS to play a dungeon?"
Liu Zheng was speechless.
He only has a few months left to live, so this trip is to choose a grave for himself.
He has thought through all the requirements.
It must be a large apartment, facing north and south, and it would be best if the neighbor is a 19-year-old JK girl.
"The players have signed a betting agreement and must abide by the rules of the game."
The system said indifferently.
"What kind of gambling agreement?"
Liu Zheng looked at the questionnaire and was shocked to find that it had completely changed.
"Name: Blocking Agreement
"Type: Props"
"quality:???"
"Effect: The user's clearance reward will be automatically replaced with something related to the wish until the wish is fulfilled. The user will be forced to transform into a player, and each clearance evaluation must not be lower than A before the wish is fulfilled, otherwise it will be erased."
"Note: There is no child who cries every day, and there is no dog who loses every day."
What was his wish?
Liu Zheng scratched his head, then remembered.
Healthy and long life.
A very rude request for a terminally ill person.
"alright."
He sighed.
A short pain is worse than a long one. Being wiped out is better than waiting to die slowly.
What can you do in one hour?
Watch a movie, have a nice meal, write a will, have a party.
Liu Zheng did nothing. He just turned on the car stereo and played "Bohemian Rhapsody".
then.
Watch the countdown reach zero.
"Instance name: Bloody Restaurant"
"Instance type: Novice Trial"
"Number of people in the copy: Single"
"Mission objective: survive for 72 hours"
As the system prompt sounded, a ball of black fire instantly enveloped him and disappeared in the car.
When Liu Zheng woke up from his dizziness, he found himself standing at the gate of the community with a letter in his hand.
He looked towards the gate of the community. The sign of "Jinxiu Xinyuan" was covered with mottled rust, and the stone pillars were also covered with signs of wind erosion.
He looked inside the community again. The buildings were still in their original places, but when Liu Zheng wanted to identify them carefully, he found that everything was blurry.
At the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his brain.
"Warning, rationality is declining."
The system prompt sounds.
Liu Zheng quickly looked away.
Since we are not allowed to look, it is even more impossible to enter the community.
So he raised the envelope in his hand.
The clue to the next move should be inside.
Liu Zheng tore open the envelope and found a folded A4 paper inside.
When I opened it, it turned out to be a notice.
“Dear Citizens of Humanity:”
“I regret to inform you that you have been unemployed for two months. Please follow the instructions and go to the designated location for an interview. If you fail the interview, you will lose your citizenship and enter the processing procedure.”
"Employment Security and Promotion Division of City Hall."
Without a job, you don’t even have citizenship. This hell game is pretty up to date with current events.
Wait, human citizens?
He suddenly discovered the highlight.
Since there are human citizens, there will naturally be non-human citizens as well.
When we think about the so-called "handling procedure", things immediately become terrifying.
"interesting."
Liu Zheng was a little excited.
This is the world he wants, an extraordinary and abnormal world.
Turning the notice to the back, I saw a map.
There are five red marks on it, one of which is a five-pointed star and the other four are dots.
Needless to say, the place marked with a five-pointed star is the so-called designated location.
The other four places are probably follow-up tasks or side quests.
If the player is a more eccentric person, he might go to the place marked with four dots first.
But given Liu Zheng's character, he would naturally go straight to the point of attack.
He moved forward along the map, but didn't see any pedestrians or even small animals along the way, and the doors and windows of the surrounding buildings were all closed.
But Liu Zheng always felt that there were countless hidden eyes staring at him.
In the gaps between doors and windows and in the shadows of buildings that he couldn't see clearly, many figures were stirring.
"You can't stay outside for long."
The intuition of danger warned Liu Zheng and he quickened his pace.
After walking briskly for half an hour on the dead silent street, he finally reached his destination.
A three-story Western-style building with no other buildings within a hundred meters around it.
And the feeling of being watched disappeared quietly after Liu Zheng entered this area.
"Bloody Restaurant"
When Liu Zheng saw the huge sign clearly, his pupils shrank.
Because the name of the restaurant is not painted with paint, but composed of limbs. The long strokes are arms and the short strokes are fingers.
They were nailed to the wooden boards with rusty iron nails and kept twisting, as if saying welcome to him.
"Warning, rationality is declining."
The system reminds again.
Liu Zheng quickly lowered his head and stopped looking at the sign.
“What is rationality?”
He diverted attention by asking questions.
"Hidden attribute. When rationality drops to a certain level, symptoms such as decreased intelligence, mental confusion, coma, and even temporary madness will appear."
"What if rationality is reduced to zero?"
"Permanent Madness or"
Liu Zheng couldn't hear the rest of the words.
"Are those crazy people in the mental hospital all players whose rationality has dropped to zero?"
He made a joke.
As expected, the system did not respond.
Liu Zheng let out a long sigh and walked into the restaurant.
"clap clap"
A series of crisp sounds were heard behind him; it was those fingers snapping.
I don't know whether they are welcoming new colleagues or celebrating something.
He walked into the restaurant and was somewhat surprised by the sight before him.
Unlike the imagined hell scene, the restaurant lobby is very clean and bright, and the decoration is also grand and elegant.
The air was filled with a light fragrance, and even lively piano music could be heard in my ears.
Although, Liu Zheng did not see the person playing the music.
"Is there anyone?"
he shouted.
"We haven't opened yet, please come back later."
An indifferent voice responded to him.
Liu Zheng looked up and saw a woman wearing a high-necked lining and a white woolen coat appearing on the second floor.
Her hair was tied up in a high bun and she had a peaceful and calm face, like a noble lady from a Republican drama.
A teardrop-shaped sapphire went around her white neck and slid into the bottomless ravine.
Such a big beauty, any man would fall in love with her at first sight.
But for some reason, he felt only a slight chill in his heart.
“I’m here for an interview.”
Liu Zheng raised the notice in his hand.
"The city hall is throwing garbage at me again."
The woman frowned.
He felt no ripple at all about her evaluation.
Because he'd heard worse.
"I'm Si Xue, the owner of this restaurant. I have three positions available. Which one do you want to apply for?"
The woman glanced at him and said.
“Can I ask which three positions they are?”
Liu Zheng asked politely.
“Takeaway, kitchen helper, waiter.”
Si Xue said calmly.
Of the three, the waiter sounds the safest.
After all, the kitchen itself represents blood and violence, and delivering takeout means going into the world outside the restaurant.
Although nothing happened to him all the way here, that should be for plot protection.
However, judging from the decoration of the Bloody Restaurant, the guests here must be either rich or noble.
It’s troublesome enough to serve rich people in real life, and the rich people in this weird world must be even more difficult to deal with.
"Boss, I will do whatever you assign me to do. With your vision, the position you assign to me must be the most suitable for me."
Liu Zheng thought for a moment and said.
"Interesting, a bit of smart trash."
The corners of Si Xue's mouth curled up slightly, and the sudden brightness made him dizzy.
Liu Zheng quickly held his breath and calmed down the surge of emotion.
A smile almost made him fail. It was too dangerous.
This woman is definitely not a human being.
"Then go deliver the food."
Si Xue's smile disappeared immediately, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a cold expression, making people suspect that it was just an illusion.
"Okay, boss."
He nodded.
That's fine. He's worked as a delivery boy before and has experience.
"Niu Ma, take him to the handover."
Si Xue said lightly, then walked up the stairs step by step and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
"Yes, boss."
With a muffled sound, a cow and horse ran out from the corner.
It has the body of a horse and the head of a cow, and its two horns reflect a dark light.
Yes, literally a cow and horse.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen cows and horses?"
It said in a bad tone.
"I'm sorry, I've never seen such a handsome cow or horse before, and I didn't react for a moment."
Liu Zheng retracted his shocked gaze and quickly apologized.
"You have good vision. I forgive you."
The cows and horses snorted.
It can be seen that it is very satisfied with Liu Zheng's praise.
"Boss, you are right. As a human being, you are indeed very smart."
The cow and horse raised their front hooves and patted his shoulders.
"Do your best, human, and don't let me eat you."
It opened its thick lips, revealing its jagged fangs.
