As long as you have the courage, fierce ghosts go on maternity leave.

Chapter 32  Been targeted

Tonight is the last day of the month! It's also the day when the Ghost Restaurant begins!

So, Alexander declined Isabella's warm invitation and shut himself in his bedroom.

As time gradually approached evening, the recruitment flyer on the table in front of him, with its now dried-up blood stains, began to slowly flow. With the flow of blood, the entire recruitment flyer turned into a red light and entered Alexander's body. The next moment, Alexander completely disappeared from the room.

"Instance selection is complete, congratulations on entering the Ghost Restaurant instance, the number of chosen ones who have entered is 10!"

"This instance is in Service Mode!"

"Main mission activated: Please work as a waiter in the restaurant and survive until three days later!"

"Reminder: There are many evil spirits on Ghost Street that come to dine with never-ending grievances. Those that look not too powerful, but are somewhat disobedient, you might want to give a little lesson, just to slightly deter the customers at the next table! Like...pulling out their intestines and tying them tightly around their neck, or taking their heads back to the kitchen, and handing it to the head chef."

"Of course, for those customers who look trouble, you'd better make them feel at home with your service, otherwise, their stomachs, without hesitation, will become your destination!"

"Reminder: Poor little one, your flyer seems to have been specifically given to a tender little girl by the manager, I'm afraid you've been targeted already. It is advised to keep your head down and avoid breaking any rules!"

…

The information coming in his mind left Alexander slightly stunned. So, Sophia receiving the recruitment notice wasn't an accident?

Starting off by offending the manager of the restaurant, this might cause some trouble. I wonder if Su Rong has reached the level of a fierce ghost yet? And what level of evil spirit is this restaurant manager?

"Ghost Restaurant! It's the Ghost Restaurant, I'm doomed! If I had known, I would have paid a high price to buy an entry card!"

Ten people appeared in front of the Ghost Restaurant at the same time, looking at the two ever-burning lamps and the blood-red sign with black background in front of the restaurant, their faces turned pale.

One of the veterans even regretted it so much that he slapped himself.

Aside from newcomers, there are three ways for official Chosen Ones to enter an instance: one is by item, like how Alexander entered this time.

The other is by registration card, which allows you to choose the instance you enter, most of which have already appeared.

The last one is to be forcibly pulled into the instance on the last day of the month, or voluntarily enter, but choose to register randomly, which instance you get into is entirely up to luck.

"Um…um…could any of you tell me what this place is? My…my child is almost twenty, how could I end up here?"

A man in his forties or fifties, his face pale and trembling all over, asked.

"Uncle, you haven't been paying attention to the thrilling world, have you? Did you really think you'd be safe after eighteen? As long as you're an adult, there's a chance you could be chosen, and even among the underaged chosen ones, there are occasionally a few!"

The speaker was a girl in leather clothes and pants, her fringe dyed silver-gray, her clothes adorned with studs and metal pendants everywhere. Her face didn't show fear, instead, there was a hint of excitement.

"Is this the so-called most dangerous instance for newcomers, the Ghost Restaurant? If I can pass it with a high rating, I will definitely become the strongest veteran!"

"Don't overestimate yourself!" The deeply regretful veteran lifted his head and scoffed:

"Have you not seen the videos of the Ghost Restaurant on the internet? Not to mention if you can survive, even if you manage to make it to the end by luck, no one has ever heard of leaving the Ghost Restaurant intact! As a newcomer, do you have any spirits to treat your missing limbs and injuries? If you survive this instance, you're bound to die in the next one! That's the true horror of the Ghost Restaurant!"

"Quiet down!"

While they were speaking, the door of the restaurant was swung open.

A small and grumpy old man, wearing a black robe, floated out of the restaurant.

"The restaurant is about to open soon. Everyone report your names now so I can assign you your areas!"

This old man looks frail and small, yet no one dared to underestimate him. This is the Ghost Restaurant, after all, and he did float out just now.

One by one, they quickly reported their names.

First was the veteran!

"Jiang Ping, area one, tables 1-3 are yours, off you go!" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Middle-aged man!

"Sam, area two, tables 4-6 are yours!"

Leather-clad girl!

"Jessica, area three, tables 7-9 are yours!"

Alexander!

When he saw Alexander, the manager paused abruptly, and a cold and ruthless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Good! I heard you like to meddle, don't you? You'll be responsible for the VIP area, which only has two tables!"

Based on the order, he should have been assigned to area four!

However, he was directly assigned to the VIP area, clearly he has been set up!

Alexander didn't raise any objections.

As a ghost host, he understood that it was giving the other party an opportunity to strike.

Nodding his head, Alexander directly walked into the restaurant.

The restaurant is very large, the decoration doesn't have the slightest feel of a horrifying world, just a slightly dark style.

Several partitions have divided the restaurant into dozens of areas.

There were already three servers who looked like walking corpses, emotionlessly cleaning the place in their uniforms.

One of them came over and said to Alexander and the others:

"Follow me, I'll take you to change your clothes!"

They quickly followed behind, and the veteran approached Alexander and whispered: "You're area four, right? The four of us are the closest to each other, we should watch each other's backs!"

"No!" Alexander shook his head, not concealing anything, and directly said: "I have been assigned to the VIP area!"

"Did you offend the manager?" Jiang Ping, the veteran, paled dramatically, instinctively stepping away from Alexander.

"What do you mean?" A newly arrived participant asked in confusion.

"Look there! That's the VIP area, does it look familiar?" Jiang Ping pointed to a corner of the restaurant, where there was a high platform with two tables.

Regardless of the material or the surrounding decoration style, it was far superior to other areas.

"Isn't that the scene from the Ghost Restaurant video that's been circulating online? Could it be...?"

"That's right! The VIP area is the most dangerous part of the entire Ghost Restaurant! The participant who was dismembered and consumed by ghosts in the video online was assigned to the VIP area!"

Everyone drew in a sharp breath and distanced themselves from Alexander.

The VIP area was obviously not for ordinary ghosts!

If they were ordinary ghosts, they would still hold back due to the rules of the restaurant, but the guests in the VIP area would likely have no qualms about slaughtering you, and even the manager would not dare to make a peep!

This guy is dead for sure! Stay away from him, or else the manager might target us as well!

…

Meanwhile, several miles away, in a massive eighteen-story apartment complex.

An astonishing aura permeated the air, and Su Rong opened her eyes, black flashes flickering in her eyes.

Reining in her aura, she looked at the item left by Alexander and murmured softly: "Ghost Restaurant... it seems it's time to revisit my neighbors!"

"It's just a restaurant, and in Ghost Street, it amounts to nothing!"

"Master, wait for me!"
