101: A thousand pairs of pants, can't go to waste!
"Boss, this guy looks like trouble is coming."
Looking at the departing back of the young Streamer, Red Spirit appeared behind Li Zhou at some point.
Her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, she said with a smile.
Li Zhou glanced at Red Spirit, feeling a bit strange inside.
The two employees he had hired before spoke very little.
However, Red Spirit, ever since she was hired, apart from her initial appearance, has acted almost like a normal person at other times.
She didn't seem like a scary employee at all, lacking the aura a Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit should have.
"A tall tree catches the wind, aren't there others who don't believe either?"
"Let them be."
Shaking his head, Li Zhou didn't take the young Streamer to heart.
These kinds of people are what's often called 'contrarians' online.
Once they truly experience it, he believed they would become honest.
Seeing that Li Zhou didn't seem to have any intention of targeting the young Streamer, a hint of regret flashed in Red Spirit's eyes.
She still remembered Li Zhou's previous warning, so she shrugged and turned to go back to the Thousand Mirror Maze.
But after only a few steps, Li Zhou called her back.
"Wait."
"You don't need to go to the maze today, I'll arrange for you to go somewhere else."
Li Zhou looked at Red Spirit and said.
Although he didn't care about the young Streamer, the other party was livestreaming and had some traffic after all.
Goethe had already appeared several times, so even if this young Streamer encountered him, the fright value provided by the audience in his livestream room wouldn't be as much as before.
This time, it might be better to have Red Spirit go instead.
"Not the maze?"
Red Spirit was a bit confused after hearing Li Zhou's words.
The maze was quite suitable for her, and the scare effect was also good.
Where was he planning to move her to?
"Just follow me."
Li Zhou didn't explain further.
Soon, he led Red Spirit to the outside of Devils Castle.
At this time, all the players had already entered.
Looking at the towering castle in front of her, a hint of doubt flashed in Red Spirit's eyes.
Isn't this another guy's territory?
What is the Boss bringing her here for?
Could it be... as if she thought of something, Red Spirit's eyes flickered.
Li Zhou waved his hand, and the next second, a tall figure walked out of the castle.
It was Goethe.
"Boss."
After coming out, Goethe greeted Li Zhou.
Li Zhou nodded, smiling as he said, "You've done well these past two days, take a rest today."
"Oh, and this is my new employee, named Red Spirit. You two are colleagues now."
The Zombie Gede had already met Red Spirit, but Goethe, having been in the castle, had not yet met her.
Li Zhou pointed at Goethe and then said to Red Spirit, "This is Goethe."
The first meeting of the two terrifying employees made the scene a bit eerie.
Red Spirit's eyes narrowed slightly, and her entire red dress began to sway without wind.
Goethe still maintained a calm expression, with no emotions visible in his eyes.
However, upon hearing Li Zhou's introduction, he still symbolically nodded towards Red Spirit.
"This killing intent... hehe, quite interesting."
Red Spirit looked at Goethe, who was dressed in lumberjack attire and holding a chainsaw, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
After seeing the Zombie Gede earlier, she had thought that the employees in the Haunted House were nothing special.
But now, she had changed her mind.
She had sensed Goethe's aura before, but had never truly seen him.
Seeing him today, she could clearly feel that the ferocity of this guy in front of her was no less than her own.
He probably hadn't killed fewer people than her either.
He was an interesting colleague, at least much better than the Zombie Gede.
"Red Spirit, you don't need to go to the maze today either."
"I'm entrusting the players in this castle to you."
After a brief introduction of the two to each other, Li Zhou turned to Red Spirit and said.
"Entrust them to me?"
"Really, Boss?"
Red Spirit's face clearly showed joy; although she had vaguely guessed it earlier, she was still a bit excited when she truly heard it.
One must know that the popularity of the castle was much higher than other areas of the Haunted House.
Just now, at least a hundred people chose to challenge the castle.
Such a large number of people would be enough for her to have a good time.
"Of course, it's true."
"Moreover, in the castle, you can scare them however you want."
Li Zhou nodded again, smiling.
Those players would never expect that he would change the final boss of the castle.
In the environment of the castle, the terror brought by Red Spirit would definitely be no less than Goethe's.
Perhaps, the effect would be even better.
That kind of purest evil, besides panic, can also evoke the deepest rejection in people's hearts, making them subconsciously want to stay away.
But the castle is an escape room, so it's impossible to get away quickly.
Therefore, arranging for Red Spirit to enter the castle posed no problem at all.
"Scare them however you want?"
"Even if someone dies?"
She had thought that being able to change locations was already a great surprise, but she didn't expect that her methods wouldn't be restricted either!
Red Spirit's smile grew even brighter, and she was already eager to enter the castle.
"Uh... whatever you want."
"Just make it as terrifying as possible."
"It's best if they need to change their pants. Your boss, I, bought a thousand disposable pants, can't let them go to waste."
Li Zhou stroked his chin, saying indifferently.
Although there wouldn't be physical death in the castle, sometimes, the mind could also die.
If fear far exceeded the limit of psychological endurance, it was not impossible for people to be scared silly or even to death.
However, the system had obviously anticipated this.
The castle came with its own protection mechanism.
When a player's psychological endurance reached a certain threshold, they would be forcibly teleported out of the castle, or their consciousness would be interfered with, causing them to directly forget that segment of memory.
Old Hei had experienced this before.
After being taken out of the castle, he forgot what happened before he fainted.
There was no other way; among the several people at the time, he was the closest to Chen Ze.
The fright he received was naturally greater.
Imagine, one day you see your good friend's head suddenly fall off without any warning, followed by a torrent of blood.
In such a situation, it would be strange if your mind wasn't traumatized.
Of course, excluding those with psychological abnormalities.
"Don't worry, Boss!"
"I'll make all these people buy pants!"
After learning that she had no restrictions in the castle, Red Spirit completely let loose.
She patted her chest, saying with great confidence.
You know, yesterday in the maze, she merely revealed her true form, not even having time to release her aura.
Yesterday's players, just by seeing her appearance, almost half of them were so scared that they lost bladder control.
If she were to fully release her aura like the Zombie Gede before, it's estimated that even the beast Song Yang would pass out.
And, after waking up, change his pants!
