Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 60: The First Employee Successfully Influenced

The image of Bian Que's three-part poem involuntarily flashed through Zhang Ze's mind.

It's incurable.

Hopeless.

Wait to die.

If boys don't reason anymore, what's the point of talking to them?

Zhang Ze sighed, preparing to release Lingling and forcibly restrain the boy.

"Um?"

Zhang Ze's expression changed.

He could no longer sense Lingling's location or the existence of the door. It was as if the connection between him and the door had been severed, preventing him from releasing the crows or summoning Lingling.

Zhang Ze immediately tried other methods.

Ghost hands, ghost eyes.

None of these things are usable.

Aside from successfully calling up the system, everything related to the supernatural became unusable. Zhang Ze was like an ordinary person again, having lost all his abilities.

"I can't use the supernatural in my dreams?"

"This boy's supernatural abilities... are terrifying!"

Zhang Ze was taken aback.

If that's the case, then the boy is practically made for people like those in the Ghost Stories Association who are connected to ghosts. No matter how terrifying the things you carry with you, or what kind of phantom spirit you've made a pact with and entered someone's dream, you'll become an ordinary person.

It should be noted that although Lingling cannot be considered a top-tier red-clad figure.

However, being able to control a door already indicates that one's strength is far greater than that of an ordinary red-clad figure.

Even Lingling's senses were severed, which shows how terrifying the boy's strength was.

You're lying to me.

"I'm going to kill you."

As the boy spoke, he slowly walked towards Zhang Ze.

In the dream, only he could retain the abilities that a vengeful ghost should have, while everyone else was a lamb to the slaughter, though he himself was unaware of this.

Because of this long period of time.

Zhang Ze was the first person to enter the dream.

The boy pressed closer and closer.

Instead of running away, Zhang Ze sat upright on the ground.

"In that case, you may proceed."

"I don't care about my life, but it's a pity that your desire for revenge will never be fulfilled, and the murderer who killed you and your mother will forever remain at large."

After Zhang Ze finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.

The boy stopped instead.

His eyes were cloudy, with a hint of uncertainty. He wasn't very old when he died; his head was probably smaller than a watermelon in a greenhouse, so he couldn't think clearly.

Zhang Ze's words hit him right where it hurt.

So much so that he instinctively felt a slight sense of apprehension.

To kill or not to kill?

After a moment's hesitation, the boy's bone claws remained suspended in mid-air, failing to pierce Zhang Ze's chest.

"What are you talking about?"

"You...you're bullying me? I clearly killed him, why are you saying he's still alive!"

Zhang Ze paused, then said, "If he's really dead, why do you keep killing him in your dreams?"

"This is just wishful thinking on your part. It's like killing your enemy in your own dream. If you really want revenge, you must enter Xiong Qing's dream and kill him so that he will die in reality."

Zhang Ze's explanation startled the boy.

Yes.

If he really killed Xiong Qing, why did he have to kill him again and again?

but……

The boy seemed to remember something, "I don't believe you, you'll lie to me, you'll all lie to me."

"You tricked me into taking bitter medicine, you lied and said you'd take good care of my mother. You're all liars! I saw the doctor electrocuting my mother. I'll make you all pay!"

The boy's obsession remained deep.

but……

[Triggering the Paranormal Land Quest]

[Second Ward: Screaming Index 3 stars]

The Third Mental Illness Recovery Center consists of three buildings: Ward 1, Ward 2, and Ward 3. Wards 1 and 2 are open-plan wards, while the most dangerous Ward 3 is a closed-plan ward. You must be curious about what happened in Ward 2; it all perhaps begins with a boy who died in a fire.

Zhang Ze almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

This can trigger a supernatural land quest?

Make fun of me!

What's even more difficult is what a second ward is. If this venue is built, won't Chen Ge sue for plagiarism?

"No, Chen Ge hasn't entered the third ward yet, and he might not even have heard of the name of the third ward."

"If I unlock the second ward scene first, I can turn around and say that the third ward is plagiarism, and then I'll make Chen Ge pay the price for his sins."

"Whoever is slow to act is the one who plagiarizes!"

Zhang Ze felt much more at ease.

The appearance of the system task proves that a crack has appeared in the boy's heart.

Zhang Ze continued to patiently guide him.

"I mean you no harm, I'm here to help you."

"I've seen everything you've been through, and I feel your pain deeply. That's why I don't want you to live in the pain of the past forever."

"I have the ability to avenge you, but I also need your help."

Zhang Ze tentatively extended a hand to the boy.

The boy's bone claws could pierce Zhang Ze at any moment.

But after a while, the bone claw changed into a handshake gesture and was placed in Zhang Ze's hand.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking the employee list]

[Lingling: Affection -10. Her hand is in yours. If conditions allowed, she would like to tear you to pieces, but unfortunately, her true form is a pair of hands.]

[Grimace: Affection -20. Because someone believed he existed, he truly exists. You deceived his eyes, and he wanted to kill you, but now he can't see.]

[Zhang Peng: Favorability -99. You drove him crazy and framed someone else, but he'll never forget your face. Don't give him any more chances.]

[Boy: Affection level 60. You are the only friend he has ever met who is willing to help him, so he has feelings for you. However, he instinctively questions all interpersonal relationships, so getting along with you will be a delicate matter.]

Not a buddy.

Why are the first three employees' favorability ratings all negative?

Zhang Ze was dumbfounded.

Unlocking the employee list should have been a joyous occasion.

He was a little confused at first. The haunted house had been operating for so long and had recruited quite a few employees, so why was the employee list feature only being unlocked today?

It turns out that the employees in front of him were all just his wishful thinking of "employees".

They weren't convinced at all.

Instead, they were violently suppressed by Zhang Ze for various reasons.

Zhang Ze was also aggrieved. Damn it, the scream index of the very first scene was only 2 stars. Zhang Ze was dead. If he hadn't used his wisdom to survive, he would have been sitting at the same table with Lao Zhou and Li Yang by now.

Now they're blaming Zhang Ze for using violent methods?

If we didn't resort to violence, the grass on our graves would be two meters high by now!

"I will help you, but your enemy is no ordinary person. He's also cunning, and I won't gain the upper hand in a direct confrontation," Zhang Ze said.

The boy slowly withdrew his hand. "Leave the tricky stuff to me. Write my name on his body, and I can enter his dream."

It turned out to be the case.

It's quite convenient. Zhang Ze's greatest strengths are writing and drawing.

"In that case, we're friends. Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Zhang Ze."

"What's your name?"

"Bastard," the boy said. "I have no name. All the other patients call me that, except my friends."

What do your friends call you?

"Hmm... He said his name is Men Nan, and he's a year older than me. His name is Da Men, and mine is Xiao Men. If you find it troublesome to write 'bastard,' you can write Xiao Men instead," Xiao Men said.
