I'm pretending to be a boss in infinite games

Unknowingly, while everyone was talking, the sky had completely darkened.Zhang Chi's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was about to happen.

The sudden change in the weather seemed to be trying to trap them in this homestay. The lightning flashed across the thick clouds, and the pale light flashed on everyone's faces in an instant.

Everyone's complexion is not very good, and the ominous feeling is getting heavier and heavier.

At this moment, the notification sound of the game reappeared in their minds.

[Story Exploration Degree: 70%. 】

[Congratulations for getting access to the key information of the plot. At the same time, the ghost has gradually approached you. 】【Please note: Whether you continue to live is closely related to tonight. 】

As soon as the notification sound ended, everyone had no time to react, and the heavy rain came in an instant. At the same time, there was the sound of howling wind outside, and the bean-sized raindrops were blown up by the wind and smashed on the windows. of heart.After a while, the old windows seemed to be unable to withstand tonight's wind and rain, making a heavy and crumbling "creaking" sound.

"Zhang Chi, I... I'm scared." Xu Tianyi's voice was faintly crying, and compared to the calmness of the novice Zhang Chi, she seemed more timid.

In the darkness, Zhang Chi held the handle of the kitchen knife tightly with his right hand. It was obviously a chilly night, but fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Just now, at the moment when the lightning flashed, Zhang Chi saw a ghost with long hair appearing behind Lu Qinghe.The ghost stood quietly behind him, Lu Qinghe didn't know anything, but he just saw it.

"Turn on the light." Zhang Chi said calmly, the darkness really affects the mood too much, they urgently need a light source to find a sense of security.

The light switch was at the counter, Qian Xiong was still calm, and while Zhang Chi was speaking, he had already touched the switch by the counter with strides.

With a "click", the expected bright light did not appear.

Qian Xiong tried twice more, feeling as if his heart was being crushed by a huge stone.

"The light is out," he yelled this way.

Before everyone could get scared, at this moment, the lights on the second floor where no one went up and should have been in darkness were turned on.The light overflows from the corridor on the second floor to the stairway on the first floor. The gentle light dispels part of the darkness, as if inviting everyone to enter the safe area.

But no one dared to move, there must be a monster if something goes wrong, this sudden light is too much like a trap to lure prey, just waiting for them to step in, it can harvest their lives.

Zhang Chi's silence made Xu Tianyi even more frightened. Among so many people, Zhang Chi was the first one who could calmly face ghosts.People are always habitually close to the stronger side, especially after he has shown his superb cooking skills.

In Xu Tianyi's view, a person who can cook delicious food must have a gentle and soft heart.

Fortunately, the overflowing light from the second floor made the darkness in the lobby on the first floor less intense.Xu Tianyi managed to see Zhang Chi's figure clearly, and she sneaked closer to him, as if in this way she could gain a weak sense of security.

The plan for tonight suddenly came to an impasse, and everyone planned to huddle in the same room after dinner to have a care.But no one expected that there would be such a change. The second floor, which was originally their safe zone, became a dangerous and unknown place without knowing who turned on the lights.

Qian Xiong came from the counter and stood under the weak light, but he didn't dare to approach the stairs.

He swallowed his saliva, and tentatively opened his mouth: "Why don't we go up to the second floor to have a look together?" His idea was very simple. According to the previous situation, there was only one ghost, and there were so many of them. Going up collectively is a safety factor. It can't be too low, right?

Liu Wanghai immediately asked: "Then who will walk in front?"

Obviously, those who lead the charge bear the brunt of danger.This time, no one spoke again.

Zhang Chi had been observing behind Lu Qinghe, and he found that when the lights on the second floor were turned on, the ghost behind Lu Qinghe could not be seen.He was very sure that the lights on the second floor were the work of ghosts.But, isn't this obvious temptation too simple?

Could it be that the IQ of this ghost is not high?If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he really wanted to ask these teammates what kind of ghosts they had experienced?Is it force type or intelligence type?

Just as everyone was looking at each other, footsteps suddenly sounded on the second floor.The footsteps were getting closer and closer, making a heavy sound on the wooden corridor.

"Could it be the owner of the hotel?" Qian Xiong asked, but for some reason, a trace of fear appeared on Lu Qinghe's face.

Even Ruan Shuyu showed a puzzled expression.

Zhang Chi silently took everyone's expressions into his eyes, always feeling that things were not that simple.

When the footsteps got closer to everyone and started to step on the stairs, everyone couldn't help but take a step back.The stair that has been in disrepair for a long time makes a "creak, creak" sound, as if it cannot bear the weight of the owner of the footsteps.A tall shadow was first projected from the stairway onto the ground, in the shape of a human.

"Is it Boss Lu?" Qian Xiong called out tentatively. The shadow of the human figure seemed to indicate that someone was coming. He wanted to get closer to confirm his guess.

But Zhang Chi took a few steps forward to hold him back, and said in a low voice, "Look carefully."

Qian Xiong stopped and looked at the ground, his whole body froze.It is true that there is a figure on the ground, but this figure is a little different from the normal figures seen in ordinary times.

The shadow of a person is either lengthened or shortened, but the limbs can always distinguish it.More importantly, people swing their arms when they walk, so the shadow's arms also swing.But the arms of the shadow that was getting closer and closer seemed to be fixed, and it didn't move with the shadow's progress at all. Looking carefully, Qian Xiong found that the shadow's legs were walking straight and upright. The whole body, except for the distance between the legs when moving forward, is lifeless like a puppet.

The shadow of a person will not be like this, Qian Xiong is very sure.

The joy that just happened just now faded away like a tide, the hairs on Qian Xiong's back stood up, and cold sweat began to break out.Then, a trace of happiness rose from his heart.

Although Zhang Chi's voice was not loud just now, everyone was standing relatively close to each other, so they heard everything that should be heard.Although some people didn't know what it meant, they could tell from Qian Xiongru's expression that he was approaching the enemy that it was not a good thing.

The sound of the rain outside was getting louder, and the dense rain formed a rain curtain, as if it was going to cut off everyone's way out.

"What should I do?" Ke Han tremblingly stuck to Ruan Shuyu's side, not seeing the ugly look on his face at all.

Facing an unknown danger, most people's first reaction is to flee.But the hall is so big, where can I escape?It was dark outside and there was a strong wind and heavy rain. I didn't know what I would encounter when I went out.

Zhang Chi didn't move, he stared at the stairs, and led Qian Xiong back slowly.Lu Qinghe has already shrunk into the counter, it seems that only there can give him a sense of security.

No one could answer Ke Han's question, the sound of footsteps got closer, and in two or three steps, the owner of the sound of footsteps would come out from the stairs.

"Outside... There are also voices outside." Xu Tianyi's cry has come out.

People say "good things come in pairs", but tonight, it can be said that misfortunes never come singly on their side.

Nervous, Xu Tianyi, who had been hanging behind Zhang Chi, was vigilant about her surroundings when she unexpectedly noticed the sound mixed with the sound of rain outside.

Everyone's retreating steps stopped at the same time, and there was a sense of powerlessness being pinched back and forth.But what's even more powerless is that they don't even know what the sound outside is.

The hall was terribly silent, and as everyone breathed lightly, the faint voice hidden in the sound of rain outside slowly stood out.

It was a very noisy sound, like the sound of many things dragging on the ground, moving cautiously and rubbing against the ground.The rustling sound was mixed with the sound of rain, forming a strange tone that stimulated everyone's gradually fragile emotions.

The unknown situation and the danger of not knowing when it will come are the most frustrating, like a butcher's knife hanging high above the head and refusing to fall, everyone's nerves are tense.

What's even more worrying is that the sound from outside seems to be approaching here too.

At this time, everyone was suddenly annoyed why they hadn't closed the hall door earlier.Although the wooden door is old and there are even many gaps, it can always withstand a moment when it is closed.

Just when everyone was nervous and hesitant, the figure at the top of the stairs was already facing everyone.

The owner of the shadow stood there quietly, blocking the only light.

Everyone choked for breath, as if they were waiting for the final judgment.Liu Wanghai's calf was tense, ready to run for his life at any time.

Ruan Shuyu's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the person coming, but Lu Qinghe's eyes widened, full of disbelief and incomparable fear.

The person who came was Lu Tie, the owner of the homestay. He stood in a strange posture, and said to everyone: "The light on the second floor has been repaired, don't you go to sleep?"

He stood at the stairs and talked to them, but his eyes fell on the door of the hall.Not only that, Zhang Chi found that his voice was very strange, as if someone was pinching it.

Lu Tie's voice made many people breathe a sigh of relief, and they automatically ignored his strangeness.Qian Xiong couldn't help but secretly sighed for a false alarm, thinking to himself, could it be that Zhang Chi was too much of an enemy?

Liu Wanghai let out a "squeak" in response to the occasion, obviously dissatisfied with Zhang Chi's previous appearance.

After seeing Lu Qinghe's expression, Zhang Chi did not let down his vigilance for Lu Tie's appearance.But the strange thing is that he didn't feel any malice towards Lu Tie.

The strange sounds outside are becoming more and more clear. Compared with the land railway that I saw with my own eyes, the danger outside is even greater.What's more, do you still remember the game prompt just now?

The first one to go upstairs was Liu Wanghai. He was big, so there was naturally a lot of movement going upstairs.

"Aren't you coming up yet?" Liu Wanghai's voice came from the second floor, very loud.

This sentence seemed to be a signal indicating safety, and then Ke Han and Qian Xiong also followed.
