Qing Shan Qu Zui
Chapter 1617 Magic Prison Internet Cafe and Coffin-Dragging Gym (Bonus Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Fortunately, Bao Xu was a seasoned veteran and wasn't frightened by the loud sound of the passage door closing.
He looked around and found that this was indeed a very large space.
Across the street were Moyu Internet Cafe, Moyu Delivery, Coffin-Dragging Gym, and other establishments. Looking up, the factory ceiling had been painted a dark black, and you could even see gloomy dark clouds, making you feel a little dazed for a moment.
Bao Xu first went to the Moyu Delivery closest to him.
Although the layout and decoration style of Moyu Delivery's flagship store could still be vaguely recognized, the overall effect was completely different.
The tables and chairs in the outdoor dining area were dilapidated, covered with all kinds of dirty and filthy debris, and there was even a white skeleton lying on the table.
The counter was also a mess, with what appeared to be meat scraps that hadn't been cleaned up.
Peering into the kitchen in the back, the situation was even more tragic.
Interestingly, the ordering machine on the counter was still usable, but its UI seemed to have some problems, and the screen flickered frequently.
Bao Xu knew without guessing that this ordering machine should be the trigger condition for some plot, and ordering on it might cause some special situations to occur.
To get the special clues to clear the level, you would most likely need to go deep into the kitchen, and even negotiate and fight wits with some very terrible 'monsters', who were actually staff members.
Bao Xu smiled disdainfully, turned around, and plunged into the Moyu Internet Cafe next door.
Who the hell would want to eat in a place like this!
Of course, Moyu Delivery really did provide food, otherwise wouldn't those who stayed there starve to death?
But eating in such a place would definitely be a huge blow to the soul. Bao Xu wasn't hungry yet, and he certainly didn't have much of an appetite.
As an internet addict, it was better to go online at this time.
Arriving at the Moyu Internet Cafe, Bao Xu found that the overall situation here was similar to Moyu Delivery. Although the original industry's decoration style and layout were still somewhat preserved, the details were completely different.
There was no cashier at the counter, nor were there any skeletons, only a severed hand that seemed to still have blood on it, which felt like it had been chopped off for failing to pay the internet fee.
Faint traces of bright red blood still remained on the ground. Bao Xu guessed whether two ghosts were surfing the internet here, and one ghost scammed the other, resulting in a passionate ghost fight.
The computers in the internet cafe could all be turned on and used normally, and they were all the same ROF machines, but they had been specially customized in appearance, making them look and feel weird.
But Bao Xu didn't mind.
Internet addicts fear nothing!
He had been busy with the suffering travel arrangements, and after arranging the various heads of Tengda Group, he also had to arrange the backbone employees of various departments and the main heads of Tengda's brother companies. Even Bao Xu was exhausted after this continuous work.
Moreover, for Bao Xu, the desire for revenge was gradually decreasing. After all, he had already retaliated against everyone he needed to retaliate against!
Taking this opportunity to go online in peace and quiet was also not bad.
Bao Xu turned on the computer and checked, finding that there was no internet here, and it couldn't communicate with the outside world. Moreover, the computer desktop was full of ghostly themes.
The most outrageous thing was that there were no programs on the desktop, only a full screen of horror games.
Bao Xu exclaimed, "Well, well, well!"
It had to be said that Chen Kangtuo and Ma Yiqun were both game designers after all, and Ruan Guangjian also had rich game experience. The details they made were quite exquisite, and there were absolutely no loopholes to exploit.
Originally, Bao Xu was thinking that if there were GOG or other online games on it, he could directly immerse himself in the game, and a few hours might pass in the blink of an eye.
Now that he saw these, this plan didn't seem very feasible.
Playing horror games in a haunted house, if he got a little bit involved and immersed, he would easily scare himself out of his wits!
Bao Xu silently looked at all the horror games, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to click on one.
He was already in this state, so why make things harder for himself?
He pondered for a while, opened a notepad, and seriously wrote the next stage's work plan for the suffering travel on the notepad while thinking.
Turn fear and grief into strength!
The spirit of hard work can defeat all demons and monsters.
Bao Xu began to carefully conceive the next stage of the suffering travel plan. Once this plan took shape, he could arrange all these heads again.
Once he was immersed in this highly concentrated state of work, he became indifferent to many things around him. Even in such an environment, it was impossible to shake Bao Xu in any way.
Only the sound of Bao Xu typing on the keyboard remained in the terrifying internet cafe.
...
At this time, voices of discussion rang out in the channels of the various heads.
"Has Brother Bao come in yet? How is it now?"
"What's the closest location to the entrance? It should be Moyu Delivery, right? Rui Yuchen, did you scare Brother Bao?"
"No, I'm still waiting for him under the table in the kitchen, but he didn't come in at all. He circled around at the door and seemed to leave."
"Then where did he go now?"
"Chen Kangtuo, can't you see the real-time monitoring? Quickly synchronize the situation with everyone."
"Brother Bao... went to Moyu Internet Cafe to surf the internet."
The channel fell into a brief silence.
See what it means to not forget your original intention! Brother Bao still hasn't forgotten his identity as an internet addict in this situation. The first thing he thinks about is not how to find clues and get out as soon as possible, but to go online.
"Hey, wait a minute! I remember that those computers only have horror games installed, right? Could it be that Brother Bao really has such thick nerves that he dares to play horror games in a haunted house?"
Chen Kangtuo said, "Wait a moment, I'll adjust the monitoring screen to take a look."
"Damn, Brother Bao isn't playing horror games at all. He opened a text document and is writing the next stage's plan for the suffering travel. He's already thinking about how to take revenge on us."
As soon as this was said, the heads were in an uproar.
"That shameless old thief is about to die, yet he still doesn't repent!"
"When will revenge end? Brother Bao, you're still in our hands, don't force us."
"We have to report to President Pei! Brother Bao is working overtime without overtime pay during his vacation. According to company regulations, this is to be severely punished!"
"Then what should we do now? Xiao Peng, you're in charge of Moyu Internet Cafe, go over and give him some artificial fright."
"No, no, no, that's too low. I have a better idea."
...
Bao Xu stared intently at the screen, completely immersed in his work.
He tried hard to imagine the miserable state of these heads suffering in the new phase of the suffering travel, feeling that the mental stress he was under was greatly reduced.
But just then, a huge ghost face suddenly popped up on the computer screen!
Bao Xu was intently looking at the text document and wasn't mentally prepared at all. He was instantly frightened and screamed, leaning back.
The action of leaning back caused the mechanism on the special chair to be instantly activated, and something seemed to be pulling the chair.
Bao Xu failed to escape to a safe distance and was still facing the ghost face. He gasped for breath, and it took several seconds for him to finally recover.
He looked carefully and realized that there was a mechanism under the chair. After activation, a rope was connected to the depths of the computer desk. No wonder he felt like something was pulling him when he suddenly retreated.
"This group of people is simply insane! They even arranged mechanisms in the computer, without any martial ethics."
Bao Xu calmed down and silently cursed these heads in his heart.
He couldn't play on the computer anymore. Who knew if a ghost face would pop out of the txt document and scare him again!
But after a simple review, Bao Xu had memorized all the content on the document, so he got up and left.
After leaving the internet cafe, Bao Xu looked around, then walked into the Coffin-Dragging Gym.
...
The heads became active in the channel again.
"Was that scream just now from Brother Bao? It was so wonderful!"
"Chen Kangtuo, what exactly did you do? You successfully scared Brother Bao."
"Hehe, actually there's a mechanism in that computer. I can control all the computer screens to randomly pop up ghost faces."
"Good heavens, wasn't Brother Bao scared so much that he smashed the monitor with a punch?"
"No, no, Brother Bao is still relatively rational."
"In general, people who have the courage to sit in such a place to surf the internet are relatively brave, so even if they are frightened, they shouldn't directly resort to violence."
"Where did Brother Bao go now?"
"He's going to the gym. Guo Licheng, prepare to receive the guest."
...
Bao Xu came to the Coffin-Dragging Gym and saw that the layout was still largely the same, except that various fitness equipment had been turned into horror versions.
For example, the dumbbells in the strength area had all been turned into grim white bones. When piled together, they really gave off the feeling of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Bao Xu was very certain that this place should also have clues to escape.
He searched the strength training area covered in white bones, wanting to see if there were any special props here.
Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from the side.
A tall monster suddenly rushed out of the shadows. His body was covered with strange green hair, and through the huge wounds, you could still see jagged white bones and torn flesh. He was also holding a serrated butcher knife covered in blood.
"Roar!"
The monster rushed towards Bao Xu, with a very strong visual impact.
If it were an ordinary person, they should have been frightened and run away by now, but although Bao Xu was also frightened and screamed softly, he quickly calmed down. Instead of running away, he tentatively asked, "Guo Licheng?"
The monster froze.
After a moment, the monster seemed to be enraged. He angrily waved the butcher knife in place. At the same time, a sharp scream erupted from the portable speaker.
"Roar!"
Bao Xu was startled and shrank his neck because of the sudden loud noise, but he still didn't run away. He said again, "You're Guo Licheng, aren't you? Stop pretending, no one but you is this big!"
