130: It's getting late, don't make things difficult for the boss.

As if he had thought of something, Song Yang subconsciously swallowed.

He wouldn't be that unlucky, would he?

Such a big surprise as soon as he returned?

"Brother Yang, what's wrong?"

Behind him, the assistant looked at the stopped Song Yang and asked with some confusion.

"Don't you feel a bit cold?"

Song Yang looked around, the unease in his heart growing stronger.

That's right, this was the feeling!

That kind of oppressive and suffocating feeling, as if there was something indescribable in the darkness, emanating from the soul!

"Cold?"

"It actually does feel a bit cold."

Hearing Song Yang's words, the assistant also reacted.

It did seem a bit cold.

However, this seemed normal, didn't it?

After all, it was already evening.

"Forget it, I'll call the boss."

Song Yang stood still and looked around for a while, but found nothing unusual, yet he couldn't put his mind at ease.

After a moment of hesitation, he decided to ask Li Zhou to come out and pick him up.

Better safe than sorry.

He still clearly remembered the fear of being dominated by Li Zhou's robot NPCs.

"Brother Yang, it looks like there's someone there!"

Just as Song Yang took out his phone, the assistant behind him suddenly spoke.

Hearing the assistant's words, Song Yang subconsciously looked in the direction he was pointing.

"Huh, isn't that the castle?"

"There are still people there now."

At first glance, Song Yang saw the familiar huge shadow.

Based on his current location, he instantly determined that it was the castle.

Squinting his eyes and looking again, he indeed saw a tall and a short figure, faintly discernible below the castle.

"Could it be the boss and Xiao Lu?"

Looking at the difference in height between the two figures, Song Yang subconsciously thought of Li Zhou and Fang Xiaolu.

"Brother Yang, should we go take a look?"

The assistant leaned forward and asked.

"Let's go!"

Song Yang only hesitated for a moment before nodding.

In his impression, those robot NPCs didn't seem to be that short.

Whether it was Goethe or the zombies, they were all tall and imposing.

However, as they approached the castle, the unease in Song Yang's heart not only didn't dissipate but grew even stronger.

At the same time, below the castle, the atmosphere had dropped to freezing point.

Red Spirit looked at Goethe in front of her, pure black mist and evil surging in her eyes.

She was trying her best to control herself.

Although Li Zhou hadn't specifically instructed employees like her and Goethe not to fight, Red Spirit didn't want to leave a bad impression on Li Zhou.

"You don't think I'm trying to show off in front of the boss, do you?"

"Hehe, I really just felt a bit bored."

"We're colleagues, after all. Can't you be a little flexible about such a small matter?"

When Red Spirit revealed her true form, even her voice changed.

It was no longer pleasant to listen to, but had a white noise-like quality, similar to a recording tape.

Hearing her words, a trace of emotion finally appeared in Goethe's eyes.

However, his voice remained cold.

"The boss hasn't given instructions, so I can't let you in casually."

He paused, then spoke again: "Last time you came in, you already caused the boss trouble once."

Previously, when the Energetic Young Man came to challenge, Li Zhou specifically asked Red Spirit to entertain him.

The result was widespread fear across the entire network, reaching a critical point.

If Li Zhou hadn't reacted quickly and immediately arranged for Chen Ze to come and film a clarification video, who knows what kind of chaos might have erupted.

Goethe was very clear about all of this.

Therefore, after hearing Red Spirit's request, he naturally wouldn't agree.

"Last time was just an accident."

Hearing Goethe's words, Red Spirit's expression clearly paused.

After a moment of silence, she uttered this sentence.

Although she was arguing, she seemed to lack confidence.

Thinking about it carefully, although Goethe was violent at heart, he entertained so many players every day, and it seemed that no chaos had ever occurred.

On the contrary, it was she, who appeared very friendly, who caused Li Zhou considerable trouble.

"Leaving aside whether that person will come back, even if they do, they might not enter my castle."

"It's getting late, don't make the boss uncomfortable."

Goethe's tone only sounded like a gentleman when he spoke to Li Zhou.

Looking at Red Spirit in front of him, he spoke coldly.

He didn't say not to make himself uncomfortable, but not to make Li Zhou uncomfortable.

Hearing his words, Red Spirit immediately knew that her hopes of entering the castle were probably dashed.

Could it be that they really had to fight?

The black mist dissipated, and her features returned to normal.

Red Spirit pouted, looking very unhappy.

Just then, a somewhat timid question suddenly came from behind her.

"Um, is that Xiao Lu?"

Because the lights of the Haunted House were all turned off, coupled with the black mist Red Spirit emitted when she revealed her true form, the environment below the castle was even darker than other places.

Even when Song Yang and his assistant walked five or six meters away from Red Spirit, they couldn't clearly see Red Spirit's appearance.

They could only vaguely see the red dress on her.

At this moment, Song Yang's heart was filled with unease and doubt.

In his impression, Xiao Lu never seemed to wear red clothes.

Moreover, the other person didn't seem like the boss either.

They had already come, and it was too late to leave now.

Song Yang could only bite the bullet and ask Red Spirit a question.

In fact, Goethe and Red Spirit had already discovered Song Yang as soon as he entered the Haunted House.

The two initially ignored this guy.

After all, this person seemed to be a friend of the boss.

They just didn't expect that Song Yang would sneak over by himself.

Turning her head, Red Spirit looked at Song Yang and the assistant.

Her mood was already very bad, and now seeing the two of them, she immediately seemed to have found an outlet for her frustration.

Goethe seemed to realize something, shook his head, and turned back into the castle.

"We're already off work here."

"May I ask what you need to see the boss about?"

Feigning a confused expression, Red Spirit spoke.

Her voice returned to its previous pleasant and charming tone, dispelling the unease in Song Yang's heart.

At this moment, he finally clearly saw the appearance of the person in front of him.

Looking at Red Spirit's exquisite and charming features, he immediately straightened his back, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Ah, are you a new employee hired by the boss?"

"Your boss and I, uh... are partners."

"I came here this time to discuss some work matters with him."

Song Yang spoke confidently, but the assistant was stunned by his words.

Brother, when did we become partners with the boss?

Shouldn't it be that the boss is a good person and allows us to livestream here to make a living?

After the Tianfeng Haunted House became popular, Li Zhou could have easily raised his prices with Song Yang.

After all, most of Song Yang's fans now hoped to see him continue challenging in the Haunted House.

If Song Yang went to other places, the livestream room's popularity would likely drop significantly, and many fans who followed him for dancing on graves would also unfollow him.

However, Li Zhou did not.

Not only did he unconditionally allow Song Yang to livestream in the Haunted House, but he also let the two of them live directly in the Haunted House.

At first, he didn't even want to charge them rent.

After hearing Song Yang's words, the smile on Red Spirit's lips grew even more captivating.

Behind her, wisps of ghostly mist reappeared.

"Looking for our boss?"

"Okay, you two follow me."
