"Boss Xu, there is something that has been bothering me and has become a knot in my heart for many years!" Zhang Xiaojie said.

Troubled all the time? Years of heart knots?

Xu Lang said secretly, could it be the "heart knot" that the system asked me to help him untie?

Huang Xinxin said that Zhang Xiaojie witnessed the drowning of seven classmates in the Styx vision.

This must be the knot in his heart that bothered him, right?

However, he still pretended not to know and asked, "Jie Shao, what is bothering you?" ”

Zhang Xiaojie asked, "Brother Xu, do you know Jiyue Hotel?" ”

Xu Lang was stunned, why did he go off-topic? Shouldn't it be mentioning his seven drowned classmates? What is the Jiyue Hotel doing?

However, Ji Yue Hotel is famous in Donghai City.

A few years ago, the "Ji Yue Hotel has a female ghost" incident caused a stir in Donghai City, and to this day, Ji Yue Hotel has the nickname of Haunted Hotel.

So it's hard for Xu Lang to think about it.

He nodded and replied, "Yes, we have a famous haunted hotel here!" What's wrong? ”

Zhang Xiaojie pointed to his nose and said, "This haunted hotel you are talking about...... Our family opened it. ”

"Uh......"

Xu Lang shook his head and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the property of Jie Shao's family, I'm sorry, I don't have a door." ”

"Don't worry, you're not the only one who says this hotel is haunted. In fact, as soon as the news of the haunting of the hotel came out, Ji Yue's business plummeted. ”

Zhang Xiaojie didn't mention the drowning of the seven classmates, and continued to talk about the Ji Yue Hotel: "After all, this is my family's property, how can there be guests who dare to come to stay in the haunted hotel?" So I decided to go to Ji Yue to live for a month in person to dispel this rumor! ”

"The result?" Xu Lang asked curiously.

"I didn't believe in evil, so I went into that haunted room. In the first few days, there was nothing unusual, but I suspected that there were hotel peers who wanted to disrupt our hotel business, so they set up a bureau and spread rumors to slander our hotel. Zhang Xiaojie said as he spoke, and suddenly his face was ugly, "Until the fifth day of living in......"

"What happened on the fifth day?" Xu Lang was already interested in Zhang Xiaojie.

"From the fifth day onwards, every night, I could always hear women crying, crying so much that I could panic in my heart. This woman cried every night for more than ten days in a row, and her crying could be heard in the room and in the corridor. I asked the front desk, and the front desk said that I live on the sixth floor, and there are two floors up and down the fifth and sixth floors, and because of the haunting incident, no guests dare to stay at all. I've also checked the hallway surveillance, and I haven't found any women on the floor. Until one day......"

The more Zhang Xiaojie recalled, the more his face turned blue, "Until one day, I woke up and opened my eyes, and suddenly found that there were a few more long hairs on the side of my pillow!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaojie gestured with his hand, "It's so long...... Woman hair! ”

Xu Lang and Huang Mao on the side listened attentively.

Zhang Xiaojie continued: "This woman's long hair, from three or five at the beginning, to a dozen or dozens later, is becoming more and more day by day, and every night, I will have the same dream in the hotel room! ”

"Brother Jie, what did you dream about?" Huang Mao pursed his lips and asked a little nervously.

Zhang Xiaojie said, "I dreamed that I was lying on the bed and there was a woman...... Crawled out from under the bed and stood on the edge of the bed, motionless, staring at me. I wanted to shout, but I couldn't. I want to move, but I can't! ”

"What does that woman look like?" Xu Lang asked with interest.

"She's dressed in red," Zhang Xiaojie shook his head, "and she has long black hair that covers her face, and I can't see her face clearly." ”

Xu Lang asked, "She didn't do anything to you?" ”

"No, she always got out from under the bed and stood on the edge of the bed without saying a word, until I woke up from my dream and she was gone!" Zhang Xiaojie said.

Xu Lang nodded sympathetically: "It's really unbearable to have this kind of dream every day!" ”

Zhang Xiaojie sighed and said: "It's like this every night, the same scene in the dream, the same woman in red, I was tossed to exhaustion, and my nerves were about to weaken." Later, after listening to my parents' words, I completely moved out of the Jiyue Hotel. ”

Xu Lang asked again: "What about after you move out?" Do you still dream? ”

"No!" Zhang Xiaojie said, "I can't hear women crying anymore, and I can't see any women in red anymore, I sleep until dawn, and I don't sleep well." ”

Huang Mao snorted, "Your Jiyue Hotel is really evil!" ”

After listening to Zhang Xiaojie's narration, Xu Lang asked suspiciously: "Jie Shao, then you are talking to me tonight about this, do you want to ......?" ”

Zhang Xiaojie straightened his sitting posture, looked at Xu Lang seriously, and asked, "Brother Xu, I want to ask you, do you say that there are really ghosts in this world?" ”

Xu Lang: "......"

After talking for a long time, I want to ask such a thing?

What has been haunting me for many years is to know if there are any ghosts in this world???

Xu Lang said with a smile: "Jie Shao, why did you ask me about this?" ”

Zhang Xiaojie said: "Because when I took them into your amusement park tonight, I found that your female employee walked, just like the woman in red I saw in my dream, her feet did not touch the ground, and she was the same as the woman in red, there was no shadow!" ”

Xu Lang suddenly exploded all over his body!

I'm going, careless!

The light was so dim at night, and he could still discover Huang Xinxin's strange appearance.

In an instant, his mind was racing fast, how to deal with Zhang Xiaojie's discovery.

"Brother Xu, I see that your amusement park is not simple!"

Zhang Xiaojie patted Xu Lang on the shoulder and said, "I experienced your family's trip to the Styx and the Nai He Bridge tonight. To put it bluntly, these two horror projects are not comparable to those haunted houses and horror rooms outside, which shows that Brother Xu has invested a lot of money. And from the scene layout, the atmosphere creation, and the prop design, including your feet don't touch the ground, uh, enchanting and charming female employees, I think that Brother Xu should be particularly familiar with the aspect of yin and ghosts. Am I right?

"This ......"

Xu Lang didn't expect Zhang Xiaojie's brain circuit to extend in that direction, so let's find a reason to turn over Huang Xinxin's matter first, "Jie Shao is really subtle, you guessed right, I have been different from ordinary people since I was a child, and my perception of ghosts and ghosts is stronger than that of normal people since I was a child, so sometimes I can occasionally communicate with ghosts and gods." People with a physique like me were born in the wrong era, and now that science and technology are prosperous, everyone doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. If you want to put aside the ancient times, with my special physique and perception, I am definitely a heavenly master seedling who communicates yin and yang. ”

Huang Mao continued: "That's the witch god stick." ”

Xu Lang: "......"

"Huang Mao, if you can't speak, you don't talk less." Zhang Xiaojie glared at Huang Mao, and then asked Xu Lang respectfully: "Then according to what you say about Brother Xu, there are really ghosts in this world?" ”

"Yes...... Yes. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Lang said truthfully: "Otherwise, why are there many things in this world that modern science can't explain?" ”

"Oh......"

After listening to Xu Lang's reply, Zhang Xiaojie seemed to be relieved, his face became relaxed, and he said in a low voice: "It turns out that it is not me who scares myself, nor is it that I am cranky, in this world, there are really ghosts!" ”

Xu Lang didn't understand why Zhang Xiaojie was always entangled in whether there were ghosts in this world.

Suddenly.

Buzz - Buzz -

The mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrated a little, he took it out and clicked on it, and found that it was the system that sent him a message through the mobile phone.

"'Heart Knot' mission complete!"

"Congratulations to player Xu Lang for completing the task of 'Untying Zhang Xiaojie's Heart Knot'!"

"Congratulations to the player Xu Lang, who has been exempted from the penalty of clearing the existing terror value!"

……

Xu Lang looked confused: "This is the completion of the task?" The knot in his heart is to wonder, is there a ghost in this world? I go, I finally know why there is no reward for this mission, because this mission is so boring! ”

Immediately after that, the phone started buzzing again—

"Mission Hint!"

"Mission Name: Hotel Horror."

"Mission requirements: Check in to Zhang Xiaojie's Jiyue Hotel before midnight tomorrow, and stay until dawn the next day, and you must not leave the hotel during the mission, and if you violate or give up halfway, it will be regarded as a failure of the mission."

"Mission Restrictions: No Ghost Employees from LateNight Park."

"Success Reward: 100,000 yuan in cash."

"Failure Punishment: Randomly dismiss one or two ghost employees."

"Do you accept the assignment?"

Looking at the task issued by the system, Xu Lang was stunned.

"Brother Xu? This is exactly the time when your late-night park is open, isn't there a guest coming? ”

Zhang Xiaojie saw Xu Lang constantly looking at his mobile phone, mistakenly thinking that a guest had come to experience the newly upgraded new project.

Xu Lang came back to his senses, chuckled, waved his hand and said, "Oh no, it's a few spam text messages." ”

"Brother Xu, I have a reluctant request." Zhang Xiaojie said, "I think, since Brother Xu is different from us ordinary people, he can perceive yin and yang, and communicate with ghosts and gods, can you go to our Jiyue Hotel to investigate and help see what is going on here?" To be honest, the four words of this haunted hotel make our hotel's business really worse year by year! ”

Xu Lang said secretly, as soon as the front foot of this system assigned a task, Zhang Xiaojie invited himself to his haunted hotel.

Is this a coincidence?

However, it also saved him from trying to find a reason to stay at the Jiyue Hotel for one night.

The task of the system is to stay at the Jiyue Hotel for one night, and nothing else is not required.

Xu Lang secretly reminded himself not to meddle in his affairs and stay for one night.

Immediately, he looked at the system options in his phone, and with a light click, he confirmed to accept the task!

Zhang Xiaojie saw that Xu Lang had not agreed to his invitation for a long time, and was still playing with his mobile phone, and suddenly understood, secretly scolding himself for being confused, and saying that he was haunted, how could he let people take risks for no reason?

So, he solemnly agreed: "Brother Xu, don't worry, it is related to the business and reputation of our Jiyue Hotel, and I won't let your brother go for nothing." Afterwards, I Zhang Xiaojie will be rewarded! ”

Xu Lang calculated, as long as the task is completed, the system will have a reward of 100,000 yuan, and Zhang Xiaojie will also have a heavy reward, which is worth it.

With these rewards and remuneration, he is one step closer to paying off Qiu Peiren's debts.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll run tomorrow, and I'll stay in your hotel for one night!" Xu Lang agreed.

Zhang Xiaojie said happily: "That's really grateful." ”

Xu Lang said again: "Jie Shao, I don't know what the situation is in your Jiyue Hotel, so I only promised to go over and stay for one night to see what the situation is, as for the rest, I dare not guarantee it." ”

If it was really a vicious ghost, Xu Lang would not have time to run, but he would not agree to Zhang Xiaojie to catch the ghost.

The more Zhang Xiaojie heard Xu Lang say this, the more he felt that this person was reliable, and then responded: "I know, no matter what, as long as Brother Xu agrees to go over and see the situation for me, our mind will not change, and the heavy reward will not be less!" ”

"Oh!" Xu Lang said.
