12: This is pushing himself down the path of becoming a capitalist!

The chainsaw's roar gradually died down, but the scent of blood in the air lingered.

Li Zhou looked at Goethe before him, finding the crimson in his eyes somewhat jarring.

"Are you human?"

"As the Boss sees."

Goethe spoke again, his calm voice emanating from beneath the bandages on his face.

For some reason, hearing his voice, Li Zhou suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Outwardly, he looked like a twisted, insane psychopath with antisocial tendencies, clearly mentally unstable.

Yet, his voice was so calm and gentle.

For some unknown reason, Li Zhou imagined a scene.

After encountering Goethe, players would be terrified by his tall stature and bizarre attire, starting to flee frantically.

Goethe would follow unhurriedly with his chainsaw, like a hunter pursuing prey, full of patience.

He would calmly reassure the players not to be afraid, while the chainsaw in his hands, stained with brains and blood, continued to emit a piercing sound.

That scene... it did seem a bit scary!

"Uh, alright, no more nonsense."

"When working for me, I only have three requirements."

"First..."

After repeating what he had said to the zombie earlier, Li Zhou looked at Goethe before him and said, "You understand?"

"Understood."

Goethe nodded, his eyes showing no emotional fluctuations that a human should possess.

"Good that you understand. Well, from now on, you'll be specifically responsible for the first area after entering the Death Door."

"When players arrive, you just follow slowly from behind."

Soon, Li Zhou thought of a good place to arrange Goethe.

After entering the Haunted House, there were two paths: life and death.

The Death Door was the one Song Yang had taken before, and the Life Door, in fact, would eventually loop back to the Death Door.

The first scene of the Death Door was a long, narrow corridor with screens on both sides.

Li Zhou planned to replace the original two Ox-Head and Horse-Face figures behind the screens with Goethe.

Imagine, as soon as you enter, a terrifying, crazy butcher suddenly appears and pursues you unhurriedly.

Although you can't see his figure, the piercing sound of the chainsaw can penetrate directly into your mind.

Plus, there's a sign at the entrance that can reduce your sense of direction.

Even if the later scenes in the Death Door weren't scary, they would become terrifying because of Goethe.

What's more, at the end of the Death Door, there was also a zombie hidden.

Tsk tsk, Li Zhou was already starting to look forward to the players' arrival.

"Boss, what's that noise?"

Just as Li Zhou was about to lead Goethe inside, Song Yang suddenly walked out in his pajamas.

He was bleary-eyed, clearly awakened by the chainsaw's roar.

Perhaps the effect of the sign from earlier in the day hadn't worn off, as Song Yang yawned and actually walked directly in front of Goethe.

"Hmm? Boss, why do I feel like you've gotten taller?"

Instinctively looking up, Song Yang was about to say something more when a pair of crimson eyes met his gaze.

Goethe looked down at the little fatty beneath him, a clear madness beginning to rage in his eyes.

The bloody smell in the air suddenly became dense, almost solidifying.

The chainsaw in his hand also seemed to jam, roaring again, then dying down.

"Quack!"

The familiar duck-like gasp, Song Yang's scalp tingled, and he felt all the hairs on his body stand on end.

He felt a terrifying killing intent emanating from Goethe.

This guy in front of him, he wants to kill him!?

His legs went soft, and Song Yang almost collapsed to the ground.

"Who is this guy?"

"How did he appear outside the Haunted House?"

"Where's the Boss? Has he already been killed by him?"

Wanted criminal, pervert, madman.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through Song Yang's mind, but he never considered that this guy in front of him was actually an NPC, just like the zombie.

Compared to the zombie, Goethe, apart from being a bit tall, didn't have too many magical elements about him.

Whether it was the blood-stained bandages or the chainsaw in his hand, they all existed in reality.

It was precisely this touch of realism that infinitely amplified the fear in Song Yang's heart.

He subconsciously hunched his body, then nodded frantically, using his chin to scrape the ground, and began to inch backward.

There was nothing he could do; he was completely weak now... Seeing Song Yang presenting his backside to him, a hint of surprise flashed in Goethe's eyes.

In the past, when those prey saw him appear, they were all so scared they didn't even dare to move.

He didn't expect this guy in front of him to actually still be able to run.

No, this was his first appearance in front of the Boss; he couldn't disappoint the Boss.

Thinking of this, Goethe no longer pretended.

The bandages on his face began to peel off inch by inch, revealing a face that looked like it had been burned by fire.

Twisted, hideous, terrifying!

His exposed teeth, no longer covered by skin, looked quite disgusting.

Madness appeared in Goethe's eyes, and the killing intent on him increased exponentially.

The speed of the chainsaw in his hand seemed to accelerate countless times, dragging on the ground, sending sparks flying everywhere.

Goethe, like the Grim Reaper descending, began to slowly walk towards Song Yang.

His body, not much shorter than the zombie's, was filled with a heavy sense of oppression, making one feel suffocated.

Not far away, Li Zhou looked at Song Yang, who seemed on the verge of wetting himself, a hint of gratitude on his face.

What a good person!

He actually thought of helping him verify Goethe's terrifying level in advance.

Such a warm-hearted person is truly rare these days!

If Song Yang knew Li Zhou's thoughts at this moment, he would undoubtedly curse him out without hesitation.

But now his eyes were entirely on Goethe, and he had no idea that Li Zhou was watching him with gratitude from not far away.

The sound of the chainsaw in the dead silent suburbs became even more haunting.

Soon, another figure appeared behind the Haunted House's main door.

It was Fang Xiaolu, her face full of anger.

However, just as she opened the door, ready to see which scoundrel was playing with a chainsaw in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, she instantly froze upon seeing Goethe's terrifying figure.

The little bear doll in her hand also dropped to the ground.

Song Yang heard the movement, turned his head, and, as if seeing a savior, quickly shouted, "Help, help me!"

Fang Xiaolu snapped back to reality, turned around, and mumbled as she walked, "I must still be half-asleep."

"I actually saw that fat guy turn into a caterpillar and shout for help..."

My goodness!

Seeing Fang Xiaolu leave without looking back, Song Yang suddenly felt like crying.

He also wanted to stand up and run quickly.

But the killing intent from Goethe was simply too terrifying, even surpassing that of the zombie.

No, the zombie didn't have killing intent at all; it was purely a terrifying aura.

And Goethe in front of him truly wanted to kill him!

Now, Song Yang's entire body, except for his head, couldn't exert any strength.

"Cough, cough."

Finally, Li Zhou couldn't watch anymore.

He coughed, and Goethe instantly stopped, the chainsaw in his hand slowly ceasing to spin.

Judging from Song Yang's reaction, Goethe was indeed an employee with a terror level of 0.8.

With his addition, his Haunted House was becoming more and more respectable!

It's just that the system seemed to treat terror employees a bit too inhumanely.

A random prop costs one or two thousand fright value, but the salary paid to terror employees is only five hundred to a thousand.

This was forcing him down the path of a capitalist!
