When doing a certain thing, if you have enough ability, then you will also have enough self-confidence.
But if while doing it, you suddenly realize that you don't have the ability to do it, then even if you try to be more confident, it's just a bluff in the end.
Although Su Qingxing doesn't know how many horror worlds Baimao has experienced, he believes that Baimao's special ability must have helped him a lot and given him the confidence to survive in various horror worlds.
However, when the high temperature in the restaurant was so terrible that it could melt the ice on Baimao's body, Baimao found that the ability he had always been proud of had become a tasteless display.
So where are things headed
Will Bai Mao still be the fearless team leader
Will the players still trust him as always
Although Su Qingxing hadn't really come into contact with the ghosts stationed in the hotel, he felt that the game they designed was interesting, and could even help Su Qingxing eliminate some of the testers to some extent.
When all the ice on Bai Mao's body melted, he was standing in the restaurant like a hot pot, so wet.
Before Bai Mao's clothes were dried, the temperature in the restaurant began to drop again, and soon returned to normal temperature.
After Baimao found out that the temperature had dropped, he used his superpower again unwillingly, and walked towards the restaurant's door.
From Baimao's point of view, the high temperature just now might just be a coincidence, and the melting of the ice on his body was just an accident.
Unfortunately, the high temperature in the restaurant does not occur only once, nor does it appear randomly.
No matter how many times Baimao is, every time he uses his ability, the temperature of the restaurant will become higher.
Under Baimao's unwilling attempt, everyone can be sure that this restaurant really seems to be fighting against Baimao's superpower. As long as Baimao doesn't use his ability, the temperature in the restaurant will remain normal.
The super power that Baimao was originally proud of has become a real useless thing.
The door of the restaurant can't be opened, Baimao's super power is invalid, no other exit can be found, and there are ghosts around...
The current time has changed from 5:30 to 5:40, and there are only 20 minutes left before the selection of ingredients.
"Let's choose people quickly, no, let's choose ingredients!" In the mouth of the short-haired girl, the tester who was about to be selected seemed to have lost his identity as a human being, and had completely turned into an ingredient.
"Although it should be a joke, or a prank game, the whole design makes people feel a little scary." Su Qingxing, who doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world, was the first to sit down at the long table that was assembled. Only this set of tables and chairs is empty around here, and it can seat exactly ten people.
After the remaining nine people stood in the middle of the restaurant for a while, they also felt that they were as eye-catching as a group of chickens, so they all sat down around the long table.
Although the surrounding sight is still the same, everyone seems to have a higher sense of security when sitting together.
That little sense of security left...
"I think there must be other ways." Su Qingxing's words are always half-truths, but this time he didn't lie. He really hoped that the testers could find someone who could pass the level without sacrificing their companions. method.
It's a pity that the other testers seemed very depressed, even after hearing Su Qingxing's words, they didn't respond.
After a few minutes, the short-haired girl sitting next to Bai Mao said coldly: "You are right, this is a game, no one will become ingredients, the one who is selected just exits and goes home .”
"So, Xiao Jiu, you must really want to go home, right? How about we choose you." The short-haired girl stared at Su Qingxing, "How is it?"
The ghosts in the hotel need them to select a person to be the ingredient, because it was the ghosts who made the request, so they all know what will happen to that person after they are selected.
For the testers, they are still humans, not ghosts, and they are unwilling to do a cruel thing in full view, and they are not qualified to pick and choose their companions in full view.
Therefore, what the testers hope most is that someone can stand up first and say a name to break the current deadlock.
So in the anticipation of everyone, the short-haired girl pointed at Su Qingxing.
"Anyway, there won't be any danger. After the manager comes later, you can follow her and leave." The short-haired girl's tone became more and more sweet, as if she thought that no one could hear the malice from her tone.
"Second sister, you..." Curly really didn't expect the short-haired girl to hate newcomers so much.
Everyone knows that the second sister likes their boss, but although the boss didn't like her very much in the past, no one in the team competed with her for the position next to the boss, so she also believed that after a long time, Bai Mao would Gradually acknowledge her existence.
But the second sister obviously didn't expect that Baimao would fall in love with someone, even a man, when no one was fighting for her! A teenage boy!
"What's the matter, don't you want to?" Before Su Qingxing could speak, the second sister stood up with her hands on the table, looked down at Su Qingxing and said, "Have you been telling lies all this time? In fact, you have always known the truth around you. These are ghosts, in fact, you understand that people who become ingredients will die, right? You have been doing those stupid things all the time, just to gain attention and attention in front of the boss, right?!"
Su Qingxing held the little milk dog in his arms, and after looking at the second sister calmly for a while, he said in a very calm tone: "Although I don't understand what you said, second sister, but since everyone must choose one person, then we must choose someone." Choose me."
The calm tone made everyone feel a little surprised, and even felt that Su Qingxing might really not know what kind of ending he would face after being selected.
Su Qingxing knew that he was the one who didn't mind being selected the least among all the trainees, even if everyone let him be the food in the end...
After going through so many jobs, Su Qingxing himself is gradually growing. If the former Su Qingxing was chosen by everyone as food, he would definitely feel complicated and even a little unhappy.
But in Su Qingxing's view now, it seems that there is no need for him to be angry for a group of unfamiliar experimenters. Even if Su Qingxing was really selected as an ingredient, he would just continue working in another place and another angle.
"No!" At this moment, Bai Mao, who was sitting next to the second sister, suddenly said, "You can't choose Xiao Jiu."
"Why not?" The second sister had no intention of giving in at all, "Since we are asked to choose one person, then everyone has the right to choose, as long as more than half of the people choose Xiaojiu."
"And even Xiaojiu himself has agreed, so we don't need to be too difficult, right?" The second sister just stared at Bai Mao, "Boss, this seems to be the second time you want to make an exception for a newcomer, if you continue If this is the case, our team will soon be torn apart, right?"
When a team has no disputes, it should be the most peaceful time.
But when there is a dispute within a team, then the whole team will become shattered at the touch of a touch.
Now, as the boss, Bai Mao has lost the powerful ability to shut everyone up, and he has protected a strange newcomer many times, so the second sister's words successfully made other senior people show deep thinking expressions.
"Xiao Jiu's ability is useful to our team." When Bai Mao couldn't use his ability, he always felt that the deterrent power of his words was constantly decreasing.
"I have a suggestion." After a period of silence, the bespectacled man who has always been able to keep calm in the team raised his hand and said, "In this situation, it is the most emotional thing to do, so we might as well use the most rational way to solve this problem .”
"The most rational way?"
"That's right, let's all talk about what we can do for the team." The uncle pushed his glasses, "Keep those who are useful, and those who are less helpful will enter the waiting list."
"This is more than rational, it's a brutal competition system." Curly complained, "But I have no objection."
"Then let's talk about it in the order of the code names." Curly turned to look at his boss, "Boss, it shouldn't be a problem to do this, right?"
"... Yes." After thinking for a moment, Bai Mao nodded in agreement with the third child's proposal, "Not only can everyone speak up, but other people can also help to tell a person's strengths. After all, some people's strengths are invisible to them. of."
Bai Mao's additional rule was obviously also for Su Qingxing.
The second sister also noticed this very quickly, so taking advantage of the fact that the other party's ability could not be used, she directly asked in a very uncomfortable manner: "Boss, is this Xiaojiu the reincarnation of some vixen, or did he give you ecstasy? What are you looking for in him?"
"Some things are hard to say, but some people are very suitable to be physical partners at first sight." Bai Mao looked at Su Qingxing with a somewhat fruity gaze.
That is, the moment Bai Mao's voice just fell, the whole restaurant suddenly started shaking!
The vibration of the ground almost caused everything in the restaurant to shake violently. Just when everyone was grabbing the table subconsciously, Baimao's chair fell backwards, and he fell on his back!
A certain chandelier on the ceiling also fell during the earthquake and hit Baimao directly.
"Hmm!" Although the chandelier was small and did not cause fatal damage to Baimao, the only Baimao who was hit after falling down looked particularly bleak when everyone else was safe and sound.
Su Qingxing blinked innocently, he can be sure that the movement just now was definitely not caused by himself, seeing the astonishment of the ghosts around him, it seems that this is not a regular program in the hotel restaurant.
So... is it because Bai Mao did something wrong or said something wrong
The originally chaotic thoughts in Su Qingxing's mind began to connect one by one. He remembered that when this trial world just started, after Baimao said something he didn't like, Lord Reaper who transformed into a little milk dog appeared .
And the words Lord Shinigami said when he was in the room, and the scene that shook the ground just now...
The restaurant was still shaking, but Su Qingxing hugged the little milk dog in his arms tightly, lowered his head and said softly: "His Royal Highness Death God, are you..."
The little milk dog's ears trembled, and before Su Qingxing finished speaking, the whole restaurant stopped shaking and calmed down instantly.
And the little milk dog also jumped off Su Qingxing's lap suddenly, and he didn't know where he went.
Although he didn't finish his sentence, Su Qingxing still looked at the direction of the little milk dog's departure with a somewhat troubled expression. He felt that what happened around him was becoming more and more complicated, but he was still locked out.
The others didn't notice Su Qingxing's small movements at all, because their attention was attracted by the poor white hair lying on the ground.
Bai Mao's chair fell to the ground suddenly just now, and his waist seemed to have been hit hard, so he couldn't get up right now. After all, no matter what Bai Mao's real age is, he is now an uncle in his forties, and it is normal for him to have a bad waist.
In addition to this, the chandelier that fell from the ceiling just now hit Baimao's waist. Although there was no external injury, it seemed to have caused some internal injuries.
With the support of his elder sister, Bai Mao stood up, and after Curly helped the chair up, he sat down again with his waist pressed down, but seeing his painful appearance, it is estimated that he will not be able to exert strength on his waist in the next few days.
"Let's start quickly." Looking at Su Qingxing across the long table, Bai Mao tried hard to pretend that nothing happened, but when he moved a little, he would show a painful expression because of his waist injury.
Injured his waist in front of the person he liked, such a thing is a bit embarrassing no matter how you think about it, so Bai Mao also lost his composure, hoping that the matter in front of him can be resolved quickly!
"Since I am the boss, I have the responsibility to lead the entire team." Bai Mao sped up his speech in the pain of his back injury, "Everyone knows my ability. Although I may not be able to perform in the restaurant, I can still do it after leaving here. Keep everyone safe."
After Bai Mao finished speaking, it was Curly's turn, who always claimed to be the second in command.
"Since the seven of us can become seniors, each of us has our own abilities." Curly glanced at the three newcomers who had just joined the team, "So the three newcomers are the most dangerous."
"After the seven of us finish speaking, it will be your turn."
All the veterans are full of confidence. The proposal of the third child sounds fair, but it is indeed just like what Curly said... The spearhead is still directed at the newcomers whose abilities are unknown.
In Su Qingxing's view, when these veterans give up looking for other ways out, and start to select a "ingredient" in a serious way...
They have already determined that the only way to escape from here is to select the ingredients.
