135: I finally felt a spark, but I lost so completely.
Seeing Li Zhou appear, Song Yang's face showed a familiar, roguish smile.
As if he had forgotten his previous suspicions about Li Zhou, he put down his greeting hand and enthusiastically went to meet him.
Not far away, his assistant breathed a sigh of relief and followed.
"You fella, I almost thought this place was really haunted," Li Zhou said helplessly, looking at Song Yang.
That shriek from him just now was utterly piercing.
Anyone who didn't know would have thought he was undergoing some inhuman torture.
"You can't blame me!"
"You didn't know just now, I..." Song Yang looked innocent and was about to tell what had just happened to him when he suddenly saw Red Spirit finally appear not far away.
The words on his lips stopped abruptly, and a hint of suspicion flashed deep in his eyes.
Something's not right!
Nine-tenths of it is not right!
"Huh, aren't you Song the Bold?"
"Was that scream just now yours?" Just then, Mozi, who had come with Dai Xiaomei, asked instinctively after getting a clear look at Song Yang.
Hearing someone call his nickname, Song Yang retracted his gaze and looked towards Mozi.
When he saw Mozi's appearance clearly, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Do I know this person?
Mozi didn't care whether Song Yang knew her or not.
After confirming that the person in front of her was indeed Song Yang, who had gone viral on TikTok, she excitedly walked forward, extended her hand, and said, "My name is Mozi, and I'm your fan!"
"I watched all your live streams on TikTok before!"
"Especially that scene of you doing a twerk dance on a grave, I still remember it vividly!"
"You don't know, I actually wanted to switch to being a dance Streamer a long time ago, but I just don't have the talent, and no one teaches me."
"I wonder if you have time usually, why don't you teach me?"
Mozi's personality was even more outgoing than Dai Xiaomei's.
After actively shaking Song Yang's hand, she chattered away, leaving Song Yang stunned.
Beside them, Li Zhou's face showed a peculiar expression.
He couldn't tell that Song Yang actually had female fans!
"Uh, I'm Song the Bold."
"But that scream just now wasn't me; it was my assistant!" Song Yang wasn't a shy person; facing the enthusiastic Mozi, he quickly recovered.
Touching his nose, he admitted his identity without changing his expression and pushed the blame for the scream onto his assistant.
"My god..."
His assistant hesitated.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, go do what you need to do."
"I have things to do tomorrow," Li Zhou yawned and said to everyone.
After speaking, he turned and left on his own.
His purpose in coming this time was just to stop Red Spirit.
He didn't need to think; if he hadn't come, Red Spirit probably wouldn't have stopped.
As he turned to leave, Li Zhou gave Red Spirit a look from not far away.
Red Spirit understood and silently followed him.
Although he was talking to Mozi, Song Yang's gaze had actually been intentionally or unintentionally on Red Spirit the whole time.
When he saw that Red Spirit obediently followed after Li Zhou merely nodded slightly, he felt as if he heard his heart break.
You know, the Haunted House was already closed for the day!
And it was night!
What did the boss want that beautiful young lady to do?
Could it be... No!
He finally felt his heart stir once, only to lose so completely.
convex(艹皿艹)!
Song Yang's eyes were vacant; he couldn't even hear what Mozi in front of him was saying.
On the other side, after leaving the maze, Li Zhou remained silent.
Red Spirit, following behind him, didn't dare to speak much when she saw Li Zhou wasn't talking.
"The boss isn't angry, is he?"
"He shouldn't be; that Goethe guy definitely snitched!"
"Since the boss didn't come out, he must have tacitly approved of my actions."
Following nervously behind Li Zhou, Red Spirit fluttered her eyelashes, her mind constantly pondering.
She no longer had the evil and cunning demeanor she had when confronting Goethe earlier.
Li Zhou didn't know that Red Spirit's heart was already in turmoil because he hadn't spoken.
He was currently contemplating whether to close for a day for renovations tomorrow, or to ask Xiao Lu, Dai Xiaomei, and Song Yang to leave earlier that night.
His fright value had already exceeded ten million not long ago.
However, thinking that the system store would update some items after the Haunted House's level was raised.
To have fright value to purchase them, Li Zhou decided to upgrade tomorrow night.
Lest he see good things but couldn't buy them.
It was better to wait one more night.
"Forget it, let's just take a day off tomorrow."
After much thought, Li Zhou decided to close for a day.
When the Haunted House upgraded to Level 4, there would definitely be significant changes.
To avoid suspicion, closing for a day was the best option.
This way, it would be easier to explain.
And there really wasn't much to do tomorrow.
He had promised Dai Xiaomei to let Mozi stream the day after tomorrow.
This would also allow audiences across the web and people from the Culture and Tourism Bureau to witness the changes in the Haunted House.
"Boss, do you... need me for something?" Seeing that they were almost outside Li Zhou's room, Red Spirit finally couldn't help but ask.
The boss wouldn't be... no way, people can't, at least they shouldn't... I'm a vengeful spirit!
If the boss really wanted me to go in, would I agree, or would I agree?
Looking at Li Zhou's door not far away, Red Spirit blinked, her thoughts racing.
But the next moment, Li Zhou's reaction left her a little dumbfounded.
As soon as she spoke, Li Zhou seemed startled and turned his head sharply.
"Why did you follow me?"
Li Zhou's face was filled with surprise, as if he genuinely didn't know.
However, Red Spirit was even more surprised than him.
Looking at Li Zhou, she pointed to herself and said, "Didn't you, Boss, tell me to follow you just now?"
"When did I tell you to follow me?"
Li Zhou was confused and didn't seem to be acting.
"Just now! When you left, Boss, didn't you look at me?" Red Spirit was anxious and quickly said.
Hearing this, Li Zhou suddenly understood.
Then he looked somewhat exasperated.
"Who told you that looking at you meant I wanted you to come over?"
"I was looking behind you just now."
What?
Hearing Li Zhou's words, Red Spirit froze.
Immediately, a blush quickly rose on her face.
It turned out she had been imagining things.
Blinking awkwardly, she said, "Alright, maybe I misunderstood."
"Then, Boss, get some rest early, I'm going back now."
After speaking, Red Spirit quickly turned around.
She was very embarrassed now and just wanted to leave quickly.
But before she could take a step, Li Zhou suddenly spoke again: "About that matter between you and Goethe, I already know."
"That guy I showed you two is indeed not a good person."
"Since you're so eager to contribute to society, if he really comes here and enters the castle, I'll let Goethe let you in."
"However, you need to control yourself."
"Just give him a hard time; don't actually scare him to death."
"Scaring him into idiocy isn't allowed either!"
