Fortunately, there were still smart people present, and the man with glasses immediately vetoed his proposal: "Before the number of ghosts is determined, it's better to say goodbye. If there are five ghosts, everyone who falls asleep will die."
"But how do we confirm?" Hao Jiejie sneered, "The system will not tell us how many people are ghosts at this moment, anyway, I think the number of ghosts will not exceed half of the total, otherwise one ghost will kill one, and the living will be killed." Wouldn’t it be completely wiped out? This is too unfair to the living.”
Everyone nodded, thinking it made sense.
However, Hao Jiejie's words proved Ye Xu's conjecture. It turns out that ghosts can indeed kill one by one, as long as the number of ghosts in a space is greater than or equal to the number of living people.
Fortunately, he didn't rush into the toilet with the cashier before, otherwise he would have overturned.
But it's unfair or something... The father of the system probably doesn't bother to be fair to these bad guys. It might wish that these bad guys died a few more times. Therefore, Ye Xu didn't think that the number of players must be greater than that of ghosts at all. Instead, he secretly took note of this situation and kept vigilant at all times.
The third round of work from 2:00 to 4:00 is the turn to start tossing the cleaners, cashiers and bill clerks. Of course, this is relative.
The first round was a small fight, and the second round was a mess for the waiters and chefs because of the dishes. In the third round, the number of guests was extremely large, and they came and went in a hurry. I order dishes that can cook many dishes in one pot, and each pot is cooked quickly.
Ye Xu and the others were not particularly busy serving the dishes, because all the guests ordered similarly, and it was enough to send a copy of each dish to each table. But the bill clerk needs to remember which table comes first and which one comes later, and remind the waiter which table to serve first. When recording, they are tired enough, and when reminding them, their saliva will dry up.
The cleaners are so busy that many times the table has just been cleared, and the next guest comes, and if they are a little slower, they will be scolded. Hao Qingjie couldn't be lazy now, and he couldn't just let the thin Liao Qingjie work alone.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to work part-time as a cashier. The manager asked the female chef to work part-time, because this time the dishes did not need to be cleaned, and many of them were taken directly from the refrigerator and cut into the pot.
The female chef was so angry that she had only been busy for half a day in the last round, and she had to do tiring work again this round. Is the job of cash register easy to do? You have to remember what the guests ordered, and then pay the bill. If it wasn't for the fact that everyone ordered similar dishes, she wouldn't have obediently gone to work.
Ye Xu ran fast, so he didn't feel very busy. The waitress was not very happy there, because she ran slowly and began to pant after a while, and several times she almost bumped into the guests led by Ye Xu.
Of course, the reason why she was tired was that she had two or three times as many guests as Ye Xu.
Ye Xu expressed deep sympathy for her, but he didn't want to serve her. He doesn't like to help the bad guys, and because Ye Xu always acts as a comparison with her and performed better than her, this girl doesn't like Ye Xu very much, and often secretly gives Ye Xu a cold face.
Because the restaurant was too busy, many players expressed that they couldn't hold on when they had a break after four o'clock and wanted to have dinner in advance. Seeing them like this, the two scoopers didn't shirk, and ordered two more pots of noodles, and continued to eat with sauce.
When Ye Xusheng prepared the noodles and was about to scoop up the sauce, the short chef said, "I discovered something earlier, I'm afraid these sauces can't be eaten casually."
Ye Xu looked at him in surprise, isn't he a ghost, why would he remind others not to eat sauces indiscriminately? Oh, no, he only reminded him because he was a ghost. Because he doesn't want other people to become ghosts, firstly, he can't kill after he becomes a ghost, and secondly, if he becomes a human at any time, he will be unlucky if other people become ghosts.
Thinking of this, Ye Xu calmed down, and stood beside him with his bowl in his arms, listening to him quietly.
"I looked through that recipe, and there are other sauces in it except tomato sauce and this Weiji sauce, and every dish needs sauce. I think there must be something wrong with it." The short chef said while I showed the recipe to everyone, "Everyone ate the ketchup, it's okay. This very flavorful sauce is probably okay, and the rest of the sauce is not necessarily so. It is very likely that they are eaten by ghosts. People eat ghosts. What will happen to the sauce? It’s hard to say.”
Compared with becoming a ghost, many people's first reaction is that they will die after eating. Just like dogs who eat chocolate that humans can only eat can be poisoned, people who eat ghost sauces may also be poisoned, or suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort, and even fatal.
Regardless of whether this guess is true or not, everyone's first reaction is to look at those sauces with vigilance. Someone took the other two books and began to look through them, and verified the short chef's statement. Indeed, only ketchup and miji sauce did not appear in the recipes.
"But this doesn't mean that Weiji sauce can be eaten indiscriminately, right?" the waitress retorted.
The short chef looked at Ye Xu: "But this little brother ate Weiji sauce at noon, and nothing happened to him."
If you think about it carefully, it seems to be the case. The ones who were suspected of murder at noon were Short Chef and Hao Jiejie who ate other sauces, not Ye Xu.
"Yes, the two of you ate this sauce for ghosts at noon!" Everyone came to their senses, and immediately became agitated, "Could it be because of this that you two became ghosts?"
The manager interjected: "I guess it's possible to become a ghost if you eat the ghost's reward?"
The five people who ate other sauces at noon were all suspected, including Ye Xu. But because Ye Xu's sauce didn't appear in the recipe, he had the least suspicion.
"You might be a ghost, we can't believe you." The man with glasses pushed his glasses and said calmly.
At this moment, the female chef said: "I also ate some Weiji sauce at noon... I couldn't hold back and tasted it at the end, but I'm sure I'm not a ghost, otherwise the waitress who only ate tomato sauce would go alone with me In the bathroom, I will definitely kill her."
This convinced many people, even if there were still people who insisted that "you will be exposed if you kill her, so you don't do anything", but everyone felt that it was better for her not to become a ghost than for a ghost to plan and not do anything. Be more reliable.
"I told everyone this just to say, don't touch these dangerous sauces casually. After all, if it just turns into a ghost, we can accept it. If you eat it, you may get food poisoning, that would be bad. Even if it's not food poisoning, it just causes gastrointestinal discomfort, which will seriously affect everyone's work, won't it?" The short chef said with a displeased face.
This is very similar to his previous character design, but Ye Xu still feels a bit inconsistent, probably because of the psychological effect of knowing that he is a ghost.
After the short chef finished what he wanted to say, he continued to eat noodles and didn't care about anything else. To be on the safe side, the others did not touch the sauce on the menu.
When the female chef was spooning the sauce, she murmured, "I don't think there is any difference between Weiji sauce and tomato sauce. They have never appeared in the recipe. Do you suspect that you have eaten Weiji sauce just because you haven't seen it before?" Will something happen? But no one can guarantee that the ketchup will be safe, what if the ketchup is tampered with by ghosts?"
What she said makes sense. Players are wary of the first one among Weiji sauce and ketchup, just because they have never seen or eaten it, but this does not mean that ketchup is definitely safe. Some people hesitated and decided to eat only white noodles without adding any sauces. Most of them still ate ketchup or Weiji sauce. And because of the female chef's words, they no longer fear the Weiji sauce.
Ye Xu felt something was wrong, he found that only the clerk and Hao Qingjie chose ketchup, and the waitress didn't add anything. The rest of the people chose Weiji sauce, but when Ye Xu looked at that Weiji sauce, he didn't have the feeling of wanting to eat it at noon.
Instead, his current feeling is a bit like his reaction to ghost sauce, as if this is not Weiji sauce, but something else. On the contrary, he had the noon feeling for another sauce with one of the names of ghost sauces.
There are only two possibilities, one is that someone changed the label of the sauce, and the other is that his perception of the sauce is wrong.
Compared with the second point, Ye Xu believes that the first point is right. He felt that his perception was correct, someone changed the sauce.
Why did he change it? He wants others to eat Weiji sauce and turn into a ghost
Ye Xu was startled, now the only one who is sure to remain alive is the waitress without sauce. The rest ate the ghost sauce, and the other two who chose ketchup were themselves ghosts.
If Ye Xu chooses ketchup, or chooses the correct Weiji sauce, then he will be the only two living people left. The number of ghosts is greater than that of living people, and he is doomed.
Even if the two ghosts who chose ketchup can turn into people, there are five ghosts and four people, it is still not safe.
After thinking about it, he decided to go with the crowd and eat the fake Weiji sauce. No matter what, it is definitely 100% safe to become a ghost at this moment.
After eating "Weiji Sauce", Ye Xu felt that he had fallen into a very strange state. He seemed to shrink into the depths of his body, becoming a bystander, watching another existence manipulating his body activities.
From the perspective of this other existence, Ye Xu clearly identified the living people around him—the bill clerk, the waitress, and Hao Jiejie. The remaining six people are all ghosts.
Not only that, Ye Xu also found that all the sauces except ketchup had been changed labels. Because ketchup is the only red sauce, it cannot be replaced.
But this ability to distinguish does not seem to be brought only by the identity of a ghost. Ye Xu found that this was related to his space-time perception skills. Under the dual effects of ghost identity and skills, he was able to distinguish which name each sauce corresponds to.
If it's other ghosts, I'm afraid they can't tell them apart, and they can only tell by labels.
At this time, Ye Xu also noticed that the manager of the restaurant hadn't eaten the noodles mixed with sauce, but he was already a ghost. Ye Xu looked at him in surprise, and suddenly understood why the sauce was replaced by others.
Chefs are the only ones who have access to sauces and can replace labels. Both male and female chefs with glasses are human and will not do this. Short chefs will not do this if they want everyone to remain human. Only the restaurant manager has the motivation and opportunity to do it. . The reason why he wants everyone to become ghosts is actually not difficult to guess. He wants the number of ghosts to be greater than people, so that several players can be eliminated at once.
And after becoming a ghost, Ye Xu learned that after the player takes over the body again, he will have memories of being a ghost. But when the ghosts choose the sauce, they are forced to choose randomly. They cannot choose the ghost sauce because they know that eating the ghost sauce will keep them as ghosts.
This also explains why Hao Jiejie and the recorder know that it is safer to continue eating ghost sauce, but they still eat tomato sauce that will make them return to a living state.
Now there are six ghosts and three living people. These three living people have basically been selected for the death penalty.
