93: Criticizing employees

Li Zhou's tone was calm as he looked at the Red Spirit before him.

When he heard Chen Ze shout about a female ghost earlier, he had already guessed what happened.

He was the clearest about the layout of the entire Haunted House.

Although there were many dummy NPCs in the Haunted House, there were indeed some dummy female ghosts.

But after what Chen Ze experienced in the castle, these dummies could absolutely not scare him anymore.

There was only one female ghost in the entire Haunted House that could make him flee in panic, and that was the Red Spirit.

Although the Red Spirit had not violated the instructions he had given her before, there was one thing Li Zhou absolutely had to make clear to her.

To put it simply, he needed to make her understand that once she entered the Haunted House, she was no longer the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit she was before.

No matter what she was like before she was recruited, as long as she was now his employee, she had to act like an employee.

She couldn't do things as recklessly as before.

He had already instructed to close the Haunted House for the day, but she still took it upon herself to welcome players into the Haunted House.

Li Zhou really disliked this point.

It should be known that neither the Zombie nor Goethe would do anything out of line before.

If he didn't give instructions, the two guys would quietly stay where they were supposed to be.

He didn't expect the Red Spirit to start doing things he hadn't instructed as soon as she arrived.

She even roped in the honest and simple Zombie.

If she let players in without permission today, would she violate employee regulations in the future?

This danger must be nipped in the bud!

At this moment, although Li Zhou's tone was very calm, without any hint of anger.

However, the Red Spirit kept her head down, no longer facing Li Zhou directly as before.

The Zombie, needless to say, was even more so.

Upon seeing Li Zhou appear, it immediately became as docile as an invisible person, keeping its head down and ignoring everything around it.

"Boss… I just wanted to increase the Haunted House's fright value, you know."

"I… I won't dare next time."

After a moment of silence, the Red Spirit mustered her courage and spoke weakly.

Seeing her like this, Li Zhou quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was the boss in name, in reality, he was still just an ordinary person.

The Red Spirit in front of him was not the image of a frail woman on the surface.

Vengeful Spirits, no matter where they were, were extremely terrifying existences.

Especially one in red clothes; this had a buff bonus.

No matter what, she was an existence with a horror level of 1.5, and Li Zhou was really worried that he wouldn't be able to suppress her.

But now it seemed the system still had a conscience.

The employees recruited were still somewhat afraid of him, their boss.

Seeing the Red Spirit proactively admit her mistake, Li Zhou no longer kept a stern face.

Nodding with satisfaction, he said, "It's good that you know your mistake. If anything happens in the future, remember to tell me first."

"After all, you've just arrived and aren't familiar with many things."

"Just like today, although no big problems occurred, what if some of these people deliberately hid physical defects and snuck in?"

"At that time, the entire Haunted House would be sealed off!"

"If the Haunted House is sealed off, you won't have a place to work."

"I imagine you wouldn't want to lose your job right after starting, would you?"

Hearing Li Zhou's words, the Red Spirit immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum.

"No!"

On the other side, the Zombie also raised its head, a hint of lingering fear flashing in its eyes.

It hadn't expected things to be so serious!

Losing its job was no less than losing its life to it!

"Remember, I don't need disobedient employees here."

Leaving another word, Li Zhou left, carrying the medical insurance.

The Red Spirit looked at his back and couldn't help but pat her chest.

"The boss just now was really scary... scary to ghosts!"

"Don't you think so, you dummy?"

Turning her head, the Red Spirit looked at the Zombie and stuck out her tongue.

"I... I said before... we shouldn't do this!"

The Zombie came back to its senses, the oily green light in its eye sockets flickering.

"What if... if I get fired by the boss... I'm finished!"

The Zombie was still thinking of earning fright value in the Haunted House to increase its strength and get revenge.

If it was fired, let alone revenge, whether it could survive was an unknown.

"It's fine, isn't it? We haven't been fired yet, have we?"

"Besides, I probably know what kind of personality the boss has now, hehe."

The Red Spirit put away her playful demeanor, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Licking her lips, she slowly walked into the labyrinth.

"I really hope the boss can recruit more people, otherwise, every day is so boring."

"A dummy who can't even speak properly, a madman who only thinks about killing people—how uninteresting."

...After returning from the labyrinth to outside the castle, Old Hei did not see Chen Ze.

After searching around, he finally found Chen Ze hiding in the car outside the Haunted House.

Looking at his good buddy, Old Hei scratched his head and said, "Ze, where's the female ghost you mentioned?"

"I only saw the Zombie."

Chen Ze ignored Old Hei, curling up in the seat with his arms around his legs, his eyes staring blankly ahead.

At the same time, he kept muttering, "Ghost... there's a ghost!"

Seeing him in such a possessed state, Old Hei walked up and slapped him on the shoulder.

"I know you're timid, but I didn't realize you were this timid."

"What are you mumbling about? Where the hell are these ghosts?"

After the castle adventure, Old Hei clearly felt his courage had increased significantly.

When he saw the Zombie outside the labyrinth earlier, although he was scared and fled in panic, at least he wasn't like Chen Ze now, seemingly having lost his mind.

Chen Ze had experienced everything he had, so what kind of female ghost could scare him into such a state?

Old Hei was a little puzzled.

His slap temporarily brought Chen Ze back to his senses.

Looking at his good brother, a glimmer of sanity returned to Chen Ze's eyes.

He frantically started searching for his keys, and at the same time, he continued:

"No, this Haunted House is too damn terrifying, I can't stay here any longer!"

"Hei, let's go quickly!"

Go?

Hearing this, Old Hei frowned.

"Are you really scared silly?"

"This Haunted House has such huge traffic, where are we going to go?"

After speaking, Old Hei subconsciously pulled out his phone.

He just happened to see a message from the platform.

["Due to your livestream room being suspected of violating regulations, it has been forcibly suspended for 7 days!"]

Blocked?

Looking at this message, Old Hei was stunned.

What exactly happened before? Why was the livestream room suddenly blocked?

After a moment of silence, Old Hei looked at Chen Ze, who had already started the car, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Although the two had a close relationship, it was fundamentally a partnership.

If Chen Ze was determined to leave, he couldn't stop him.
