Midnight Restaurant

Chapter 30

"Oh! Why are you so fierce with me?! I'm a little girl, okay?!" Yin Guoer glared at me.

"Oh, little girl... that's fine, I won't go."

"Brother Ye Yan! Let me wash your clothes, okay...I was wrong..."

Yin Guoer immediately faltered.

Hey, let alone, this feels good, this little girl usually gets along with me, there is no limit!This is just great.

So at eight o'clock in the evening, Yin Guoer and I went out.

According to Yin Guoer, that place is not very far from their dormitory, and I was relieved at that time, because their dormitory is very close to the restaurant where I work.In this way, even if I stay late at that haunted house, I don't have to worry about being late.Of course, I'm just being thoughtful, because I don't really think how long I can play in a haunted house.

At that time, we walked for about half an hour.

In the end, Yin Guoer seemed to be lost, and took me to a pitch-black street with no one in sight. The only thing there was our constantly distorted shadows cast by the street lamps due to the swaying wind.I looked around: "Oh no, you lost your way? Didn't you go to work there for several days?"

"Huh? Ah... I don't know. It's always like this when I come here recently. I suspect it has something to do with staying up late and playing with mobile phones. I remember watching the news last time. Some people played with mobile phones until their brains shrank!" Yin Guoer said to me. Said nervously.

"Get out, you can't find me anymore." I said impatiently.

"Why are you always so fierce to me? I'll find it right away, just wait a little longer..."

With that said, Yin Guoer started looking for a map on her mobile phone, and then looked at street signs.

I was idle and bored, and I also looked around.In fact, I also found a problem.Although Ningnan is not a very big city, it is not small either.Eight o'clock at night, for those young men and women who are obsessed with nightlife, is just the beginning... No, it hasn't started yet, it should be twelve o'clock.In short, what I want to express is that the old men and old ladies are not asleep at eight o'clock in the evening, because this street is like a ghost street.

Why are there no people?
At this time, Yin Guoer suddenly patted me: "Hey! Middle-aged man, I found it, let's go!"

"Where?" I turned to look at the phone, Yin Guoer casually pointed to a point on the screen, of course I didn't see it clearly, and nodded as if pretending to be forceful, and was dragged by this girl for another two streets.

In other words, everything around here is still in a kind of darkness that makes me feel weird, and I can't tell where the specific weirdness is.

And at the end of that darkness, at the end of the street, I saw a building.

From a distance, it looks like an ancient castle shrouded in clouds.

Well, although the castle has shrunk a lot, it is quite beautiful.
There are two huge dead trees on both sides, and it seems that crows really fell on the fingers of the dead trees.I raised my eyebrows at the time, thinking that this small place is messed up, does it still look like that?But here comes the question, why is this place short of people when it is doing well?Looking around carefully, I suspect that the location is too far away.

But there's no need to ask migrant girls to help attract customers, just issue orders and advertise online.

Of course, this is not my business, I am actually responsible for coming here to play.

"That's right there! Come, come, hehe, it's very nice inside, I'll show you the kid I pretended to be!" Yin Guoer pulled me excitedly.

Listlessly, I followed her to the gate of the old haunted house.

Yin Guoer knocked on the door first, and waited for a long time before the door creaked open.

The voice was very drawn out, but it had the atmosphere of a horror movie.

But even though the door opened, I didn't see anyone. After waiting for a long time, a hoarse and long voice came from inside: "It's... Guoer, right? It's here, it's a bit late today, pay attention next time."

Yin Guoer smiled: "Yes, Grandpa Chen, oh yes, I introduced a customer to our store today."

With that said, Yin Guoer dragged me in.

The moment I stepped through the door, I didn't know if the air conditioner in the room was turned on too much, or what was going on, but I felt a rush of cold air, and then the cold air circulated all over my body, as if it had penetrated into me. in the bones.

Let me tell you, this is because I have seen ghosts since I was a child, and I am not afraid of ghosts by nature, plus that half-ghost physique.

Most people will be weak in this atmosphere.

The room was dark. In fact, there was a chandelier above our heads, but it was not turned on. I looked up and saw that it was a hanged skeleton with a faint red light emitting from its eyes.In addition to the unlit light, I looked around again.This floor is very simple, the layout is like a foreign movie, a hall on the first floor of a European castle, surrounded by murals, and floor-to-ceiling windows, the floor-to-ceiling windows are sealed, with bloodstains on them, and the murals are pictures of hell.

"I'll go, the atmosphere is good..." I raised my eyebrows.

"That's right!" Yin Guoer smiled triumphantly.

"But what about the boss who was talking to you just now?" I wondered and looked around.

"Then..." said Yin Guoer, pointing forward with her little hand.

I looked up and saw that there was a sofa at the end of the wall on the west side. A person sitting on the sofa looked like a wood carving. He was thin, stooped, and his hair could not be seen clearly, but he should be a very old person.

At that time, Yin Guoer and I passed by.

After I walked over, I realized that this was an old man with a wrinkled face. He should be 70 years old by visual estimation. When he saw me, there was a complicated expression on his face. It should be a smile. The wrinkles on his face were deeper and looked awkward.

"Hehe, it turns out there are guests. Well, Guo'er did a good job." The old man smiled and stood up from the sofa.

Looking at it this way, it seems a bit normal.

He brought me and Yin Guoer to the front desk, and said to me: "Young man, read the flyer. We have just opened here. After playing today, if you think it's not bad, you can introduce your friends to play more in the future."

I smiled and nodded, and then he took out a list from the front desk: "Here, tickets, play first and then pay, three thousand once..."

"Oh, three..."

I petrified that half day.

Damn, I finally know, it has absolutely nothing to do with the location!Damn it's just a haunted house, you actually asked for [-] tickets per ticket, sir, let's not open a haunted house, you go out in the middle of the night to rob with half-ghosts, okay?

I laughed dryly, turned my head, and looked at Yin Guoer's raised eyebrows: "Girl, I suddenly thought of something, my gas tank is not turned on! Hey, no, I'll go back and turn it off."

Yin Guoer pulled me with black lines all over her face: "Hey, don't..."

"Hiss, let go, cheating me of money, right? Tell you, you're fooling around with me, I've lost my face." I'm serious, no matter how cute the little loli is, don't try to cheat her out of my pocket. More than 50 yuan!
As a result, Yin Guoer shook her head: "No, no, I won't cheat money. Grandpa Chen still has something to say. Middle-aged, can you finish listening?"

"Is there anything left to say? What?" I wondered.

At this time, Yin Guoer's big eyes were shining brightly. I didn't understand at first, but this girl suddenly pinched me twice on the back with her small hands.I realized that something was wrong with this girl, something was wrong from the very beginning, she shouldn't be simply afraid of being fired for soliciting customers, she has a little conspiracy, but what is it?

At this time, the old man squeezed out a stiff and weird smile, looked at me and said, "Although the fake money is high here, I have benefits..."

"What benefits?"

"If you enter my haunted house to play, if you scream five or more times within ten times, the price will be halved; if you scream three times or more within five times, the price will be one-tenth; if you scream three times, the price will be the same as before. One hundredth of..."

Um?I go, one percent?That's 30 yuan?Normal price huh?That's okay, it seems that the old man is not crazy.But in this way, let the guests feel that they have taken a huge advantage.It’s like buying something. You can buy it for 20 yuan, but you can buy it for two or three hundred, and it’s one or two hundred cheaper. If you sell it for 100 yuan, the buyer feels that he has taken advantage of it.

I was just about to say, it’s okay to go in and try it out. Others may worry about what to do if they order too many and pay more, but I am absolutely not worried.

Why?Because buddy, I'm not afraid of ghosts!I'm not afraid!
But what I didn't expect was that the old man continued to say at this time: "... If you only bark once, young man, or twice, hehe, then it's free. And if you don't bark at all..."

I raised my eyebrows, didn't I say anything?What will happen then?

"Then, then..." My heart was beating fast, and I suddenly figured out that this damn girl tricked me into coming here because of Mao, this doctor must be...

Before I could repeat the thoughts in my heart, the old man said directly: "If you don't cry, you will get 1000 yuan in change."

"It's easy! I'll book this haunted house!" At that time, I happily agreed.

The old man also drove me with a smile. I saw the sinister smile, the smile of a profiteer. I knew that the atmosphere of this haunted house was so well arranged outside, and it must be even more terrifying inside.But he knew that it must be very attractive if he said that he would not call for money, and the possibility of this group of people getting in was even greater for money.As for people, the more you look forward to it, the easier it is for you to guess when you see something scary that suddenly appears when you are excited.

"Yeah! Come on, middle-aged man!" Yin Guoer winked at me.Then sneakily extended a finger to me with one hand, I raised my eyebrows, and responded with his look: "No problem!"

Then I went in.

The entrance of the haunted house is the stairs leading to the second floor of the old castle. There is a strange thing about it. The more you go up the stairs, the darker it becomes. When I reached the corridor on the second floor, I subconsciously looked down. With a glance, it happened to meet the old man's eyes.

For a while, I seemed to see a red light, but it was fleeting, and I didn't feel much at the time.

I was just thinking that the old man's wishful thinking was wrong.
