29: Talking to terrorist employees

After clearing the level, Li Zhou also roughly understood what the Devils Castle was all about.

At the same time, he also obtained the authority that the system had mentioned earlier.

This authority allowed him to comprehensively monitor everything within the castle, much like controlling its internal code.

Not only could he freely modify rules and customize the NPCs within the castle, but he could even project external objects directly into the castle.

It could only be said that it was indeed a product of the system.

The 100% immersive experience was almost indistinguishable from being there in person.

Previously, when Li Zhou died, he had stood in the attic several times and it took him a long time to recover.

The feeling of being pierced in the neck by a vampire's cold fangs, having his bones crushed by Demonic Hounds, and his neck twisted by the butler still left him with lingering fear.

Li Zhou believed that as long as players entered the Devils Castle, the thrill and fright value they experienced would definitely not be less than encountering a terrifying employee.

"Tsk, although the rules are a bit brain-racking, you won't actually die, so just play a few more times and it'll be fine."

Looking at the large gate in front of him, Li Zhou stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

He had no intention of using his authority to modify the previous clearance conditions.

Anyway, no one would die; players could just die a few more times, and they'd probably figure it out eventually.

However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Zhou still added a prompt that allowed players to exit the castle at any time.

He checked the time; it was still early.

The flow of time in the Devils Castle was similar to the outside world.

With over ten thousand fright value remaining, Li Zhou bought a few items and then prepared to find Goethe.

After the Devils Castle appeared, the previous Yellow Springs Road completely vanished.

Li Zhou went to the back of the castle, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find Goethe.

"Hmm?"

"Where did he go?"

Suddenly, a familiar chainsaw sound came from deep within the Haunted House.

Li Zhou's eyes flashed, and he immediately quickened his pace.

Soon, he arrived at the Hundred Ghosts Cemetery.

However, as soon as he entered the cemetery, he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

The zombie had crawled out of its coffin at some point, standing perfectly straight with its arms outstretched and unmoving.

Goethe, holding his buzzing chainsaw, was repeatedly rubbing it against the zombie's arm, sending sparks flying.

What was going on?

Were they fighting?

Li Zhou's heart tightened, and he subconsciously stepped forward.

"What are you two doing?"

As his voice fell, the chainsaw stopped.

Both the zombie and Goethe turned their heads simultaneously, looking at Li Zhou.

To be honest, being stared at by both of them at the same time sent a chill down Li Zhou's spine.

But as the boss, he could at least maintain his composure in such a situation.

"Ahem, Goethe, why aren't you staying in the front area? What are you doing here?"

Forcing down his unease, Li Zhou asked with some confusion.

"Boss, didn't you say today was a day off?"

Goethe's eyes flickered, his tone as calm as ever.

On the other side, the zombie seemed very afraid that Li Zhou would inexplicably fire him.

After Goethe spoke, he quickly stammered to add:

"Bo... Boss, he's... he's helping me... trim my nails!"

Trim his nails?

With a chainsaw?

Hearing the zombie's words, Li Zhou was stunned, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Alright, he had just thought these two were fighting.

employees couldn't fight amongst themselves.

Especially these two.

"Today is indeed a day off."

"I forgot to tell you two earlier, but you might be welcoming more colleagues in the future."

"At that time, there might be all sorts of different colleagues."

"Let me be clear, besides not being allowed to harm players, you employees also cannot fight amongst yourselves randomly."

"Of course, if you truly dislike each other and want to fight, tell me in advance, and I'll arrange a venue for you."

Li Zhou spoke, his words astonishing.

Hearing him, the zombie showed no reaction, but a crimson flicker jumped in Goethe's eyes.

"Boss, is that true?"

"Naturally!"

Li Zhou nodded, a smile playing on his lips.

He had long realized that Goethe was not a peaceful person.

Although he didn't know why Goethe would listen to him and not harm players, continuing like this would eventually lead to problems.

He was originally a butcher, every molecule of his body exuding a murderous aura.

Last night, although he didn't actually do anything to those college students.

But in the monitoring room, Li Zhou still felt that Goethe had been constantly suppressing his inner killing intent.

Otherwise, Sun Yong and the assistant, those two, let alone escaping, would probably have fainted the moment they saw Goethe.

Song Yang, that beast, might be an exception.

Li Zhou was well aware of what could happen if employees were unhappy at work.

So, to avoid things getting out of his control, he dangled a carrot in front of them in advance.

Want to fight? No problem at all.

As long as they worked well, and once the Haunted House's level increased, he would recruit more employees.

At that time, he would specifically choose a venue to serve as a dormitory for the terrifying employees.

Anyway, these terrifying employees wouldn't die easily, so they could fight however they wanted amongst themselves.

"Boss, your decision is truly brilliant."

Goethe spoke, his tone rarely showing a hint of emotional fluctuation.

God knew how hard he had been suppressing his inner killing intent.

Earlier, when he heard Li Zhou say it was a day off, he immediately rushed to the Hundred Ghosts Cemetery.

As early as yesterday, he had sensed that there was a very formidable individual here.

Sure enough, the moment he saw the zombie, he immediately felt a thrill, like a hunter spotting prey.

However, Li Zhou had previously said not to act rashly, so he could only use the chainsaw to help the zombie trim its nails to relieve his inner frenzy.

Now, hearing Li Zhou say that terrifying employees could fight amongst themselves, he instinctively turned to look at the zombie.

If he could have a match with this guy, it would definitely feel great.

"That's not the only brilliant decision."

Hearing Goethe's words, Li Zhou smiled.

"How do you two feel about working here?"

He wasn't in a hurry to drag Goethe to the Devils Castle.

As a qualified boss, it was very necessary to regularly understand the psychological state of his employees.

"Very good."

Goethe was concise; his mind was now completely filled with anticipation for new employees joining.

Although he really wanted to fight the zombie, the other party had been very cooperative in letting him trim his nails earlier.

Suddenly suggesting a fight now just didn't feel right.

The zombie scratched its head and said, "Very... easy... easy."

After scaring Song Yang once, it had been lying in its coffin ever since.

Almost all of those college students had been wiped out before even reaching the Hundred Ghosts Cemetery.

It had almost fallen asleep lying there.

This job was even easier than it had imagined.
