She wasn't going to waste any more time.
Even if this old lady Fahai had come to her two months in advance and asked her to cooperate in dealing with Eggbert, she would have sneered, not to mention now - Eggbert is an indispensable and important staff member of the second game "Rose Manor" that her company is developing. If she wants to deal with him, who will take over the jobs he left behind
Seeing that Qin Feichang was about to leave, Ronika finally realized that they could not reach an agreement. She shouted angrily: "Since you don't cooperate, don't blame me!"
As he spoke, he took out a rusty hand bell from his bag. He shook the bell, and a strange tone rang out with a bewitching meaning.
Qin Feichang's steps slowed down as the bell rang. She swayed and struggled for a while, the light in her eyes slowly disappeared, and she was controlled to walk back to Ronika.
"This is the punishment for your arrogance." With a snort of laughter, Ronika took out a piece of hay from her bag and burned it, along with a small bottle of essential oil, letting the smoke and the special fragrance of the essential oil penetrate into Qin Feichang's nose.
She waved her dry fingers in front of Qin Feichang's nose and said in a low voice: "Luo Lan, you hate that nightmare ghost because of your grandmother's death. From now on, you will cooperate with me to kill the nightmare ghost..."
Seeing Qin Feichang nod slowly and close his eyes, Ronika smiled with satisfaction. No matter how rebellious she is, she is just an ordinary girl with no ability. She will do whatever she wants.
The psychic Ronika, who was happy about the success of her plan, did not notice that not far away from her, Qin was standing aside with a clear expression, and behind him was Egbert with a bright smile.
The witchcraft of burning hay essential oil just now was performed by Ronika on the air in front of her. In her mind, Qin Feichang was standing in front of her and was successfully bewitched by her, but in reality, when Qin Feichang looked at his watch and left, Ronika fell into a dream, and everything that happened afterwards was her "daydream plot".
The dream-maker Egbert arrived just in time and seamlessly allowed Ronika to plan a conspiracy in her dream.
"She wants to trick you into killing me?" Egbert laughed bloodily.
"Probably." Qin Feichang only saw Ronika's non-proprietary performance. Without Egbert's dream perspective, he could only guess what Ronika wanted to do just now based on her actions.
She glanced at the handsome boy who rested his head on her shoulder. Seeing his red lips raised but no smile in his eyes, she guessed that he might want to kill the psychic.
This is the basement of her company. If a murder case happens here, what will happen if it scares the employees and affects their work? Qin frowned very imperceptibly, and then she said, "She is in a dream now and can't distinguish between dreams and reality. Why don't you create something scary in her dream?"
"Hmm?" Egbert turned his head to look at her, trying to find something from her face.
Qin Feichang: "Make her look crazy, right? She looks like a psychic who cares a lot about her reputation and needs respect. If she goes crazy in public, it'll be on the news and she'll be arrested by the police..." She left an unfinished ending for Egbert to imagine.
Egbert thought about it, and seemed to think that this was indeed more interesting, so he blinked and said, "Okay."
He smiled wickedly at Ronika and drew a circle in front of her eyes with his fingers. "This is the punishment for your arrogance."
Ronica seemed to have seen something unbelievable and stared at the air around her with wide eyes.
In her consciousness, many ghosts and thick fog suddenly appeared, covering the surrounding buildings and trees almost instantly.
It was the nightmare ghost that found her! He came and was angry! Ronika dodged the ghosts whistling in the air, and kept taking out witchcraft materials from her bag, trying to disperse the ghosts that surrounded her, but they were too powerful and her witchcraft had no effect on them. Ronika could only chant spells loudly while running away, trying to escape the thick fog.
…
In the eyes of a normal person like Qin Feichang, Ronika was just going crazy. She danced and jumped wildly in the air, yelling and taking out all sorts of things from her bag, such as talismans, human bones, and straw figurines, and threw them into the air.
Qin Feichang: “…” Although he didn’t know what she saw in the dream created by Egbert, but looking at her panic-stricken look, it must be very scary.
After the matter was settled, she prepared to go upstairs to work, but cute Gerbert wanted to watch the fun, so he pushed her and followed Ronika.
In addition to them, other people on the street also noticed Ronica's exaggerated behavior and came over, taking pictures and recording videos with their mobile phones.
"What's wrong with her, is she crazy?"
"Do you know her?"
"Damn, she's so strong! She pushed the streetlight down!"
"Is she dancing... Wow, what is she burning? Step on it and put out the fire!"
"Hurry up and call the police to send this patient back to the mental hospital. It's too dangerous to let her run around outside!"
Amid a crowd of onlookers, Ronica the psychic first performed a strange gorilla-like dance, then poured a smelly liquid on the ground, and finally tried to set fire to the trees on the roadside. She was stopped by the enthusiastic onlookers and handed over to the police who arrived.
"Puchi—" Egbert wore a baseball cap from head to toe, half of his face was buried in Qin Feichang's shoulder, only his eyes were exposed, and he laughed non-stop. When Ronika was taken away by the police, he still looked at the police car going away with lingering feelings.
Qin Feichang looked at her watch again. Oh, twenty minutes had passed. She had wasted another twenty precious minutes.
"Can we go upstairs and work now?"
"Of course." The amused little princess was particularly easy to talk to. She finally let go of her waist and got off her back.
Within two hours, the video featuring Ronica the psychic became popular on social media.

Egbert even stopped drawing and laughed at his phone from time to time, showing gloating. The other employees also watched the fun, discussing what had just happened downstairs and chatting passionately on the Internet.
Qin Feichang thought to herself, is it really that interesting? She opened the largest social networking site and browsed for a while. After ten minutes, she had no idea about the Ronika Psychic that had become popular on the homepage. The only thought in her mind was that the user experience of this website was really too bad, and it was necessary to create a new one.
Let’s put it behind shopping websites and payment software.
After watching gossip and slacking off for the whole morning, Egbert was in a good mood and became much more friendly towards the company employees.
In recent days, a group of colleagues who had been trembling under his exploitation and being despised by him every day, all felt relaxed at the same time.
Making a game is complicated, and while Egbert learned as he went along and took on a lot of the work, there were also parts that required collaboration from other people.
Under normal circumstances, the little prince has good aesthetic taste, is a bit of a perfectionist, and may even have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. He has high requirements for the things he makes, and if others cannot meet his satisfaction, he will become a different person and start to act like a social animal.
"This is the effect I want, what did you do?!"
"Didn't you say you could fulfill my request? Ah!"
"No, do it again, redo it!"
"Next time you show me something this complete, do you know what will happen?"
"I'll call a ghost over now and teach him for three days. He will be able to do better than you."
Whenever Eggbert spoke with such a chilling look and tone, the employees felt as if they were shrouded by something terrifying and invisible. Therefore, not only could they not get angry at all, but they also made rapid progress under tremendous pressure and barely kept up with Eggbert's requirements.
As obedient as a group of little sheep.
President Qin was happy to see this happen. Apart from raising everyone's salary out of guilt, he did not interfere in anything else.
However, Qin highly doubted that Egbert might have actually thought about summoning ghosts to personally teach them how to make games and form a game production team.
If this is the case, she supports it, but for the physical and mental safety of other human employees, she might consider renting another office nearby to accommodate ghost employees.
Unfortunately, Egbert just talked and did not put it into action.
President Qin felt very sorry. Based on the principle of not letting go of free labor, she tentatively asked again, "Aren't ghosts mentally insane? Is it feasible to teach them to make games?"
Egbert looked at her with a half-smile, "Do you want any other ghosts?"
Qin Feichang: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Under Egbert's strong encouragement, the game development progressed by leaps and bounds. After they smoothly completed the game and arranged its release, President Qin, who had finally diverted his attention from the dark and gloomy working hell, realized that things seemed very peaceful recently, and there were no more wizards or psychics causing trouble.
Could it be that he realized how powerful Egbert was and gave up
Wizard Rhodes did not give up, he just was powerless.
Wizard Aura is still lying in bed and needs care, and the psychic Ronica has been arrested again. Even with the help of Leon and his son, Ronica was quickly rescued. However, her condition is even more troublesome than Wizard Aura. She often cannot distinguish between reality and illusion. In order to get rid of the "ghost" around her, she almost burned down the villa.
Wizard Rhodes was so busy trying to remove the negative effects on them that he had no time to cause trouble.
Even Leon, who had initially asked him for help, began to regret it after seeing their failures one after another.
Nothing bad had happened to him recently, and Egbert hadn't come to bother him. If he had known this would happen, he would have just endured it. Why had he bothered to provoke him? Because of this concern, he didn't dare to break up with Qin Feichang and didn't dare to take action against Qin Feichang's company.
He didn't dare to take the initiative to contact Qin Feichang and Eggbert. He could only stare at Qin Feichang's game company and silently pay attention to their actions.
The familiar ruined castle in the promotional picture they released made Leon shudder with fear, and at the same time he felt indescribable confusion.
Ah... How could this be made into a game? Who made it
He bought the game "Rose Manor" as soon as it was released. During the experience, he was sweating all over. It was too real. Everything he experienced was what he experienced personally. And the ways of death, every one of them made him feel the same. The feeling of being trapped in a place and unable to escape reminded him of his previous experience and almost drove him crazy.
Leon stared at the game screen with an unpleasant expression. Could this plot be the source of their curse
Ordinary gamers who have never experienced the torture of the curse were also amazed by this well-made game. On the day of its release, game forums were filled with players praising this game, attracting more people to buy it.
The game really became popular three days later when some players who had completed the game posted on the forum.
These people described the real dreams they experienced after playing the game in psychedelic tones with fear and excitement.
"I really went to that castle in my dream. Everything seemed real. I could smell the scent of roses. The pain of being killed was so real. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed. My whole body was drenched in sweat. It took me a long time to recover."
"I thought I was the only one who had that dream. It was so scary. I haven't been able to play games for two days. I'm afraid of having that dream again."
"I really can't believe it. I feel like this game... has a mysterious power. It's so real. Anyone who has played it knows what I'm talking about."
"It's so exciting! It's so exciting! This is the game I've always dreamed of!"
"This game has a magical power. Even though I was scared, I couldn't help but open the game again."
“I counted the number of people dreaming in the forum... So what is going on with this game?!”
"I feel like you guys are all cheating me, so I decided to play this amazing game myself."
The popularity of the game "Rose Manor" jumped to the first place, and various speculations and discussions aroused the curiosity of countless people.
It is human instinct to seek excitement, which is why horror movies have such a wide audience and why the game "Rose Manor" became a big hit.
Those dreaming players were killing the manor NPCs indiscriminately in the game. Egbert, who had been following this game, was unhappy with them, so he taught them a small lesson and let them experience the feeling of being killed.
He sparked the craze and inadvertently promoted the game.
In response, Qin smiled but said nothing.
She could only say that everything was under her control.
