I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

Chapter 7: Free time, ghost of the wall!

The teddy bear was covered in patches, with one part slashed open by something sharp, revealing most of the stuffing inside.

Qin Nuo had some impression of the teddy bear.

The restaurant manager, a position even higher than that of Pinocchio.

The girl looked at the teddy bear and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Her expression was puzzled and curious, seemingly harmless, even though she had just crushed a ghost to death!

Qin Nuo thought a more terrifying conflict would erupt in the restaurant, but the teddy bear said, "Dear guest, to express our apologies, today's bill is on the house. From now on, you'll enjoy a 50% discount whenever you visit our restaurant."

"Really? Then I'll come again tomorrow. I hope tomorrow's chef can satisfy me."

The girl jumped off the chair and walked out of the restaurant.

Such things often happened in the Horror World; as long as you were strong enough, you were the rule, and you set the rules.

Several dishes at nearby tables were soiled, but the guests dared not speak, watching the girl leave.

Qin Nuo didn't know how terrifying the girl was, but he knew that working diligently was what he should be doing now.

***

In the Horror World, the daytime was always gray, with no sunlight, indistinguishable between morning and afternoon.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Nuo completed six orders.

Stretching his muscles, Qin Nuo let out a long breath, "I wonder how Liu Jiaqi and the others are doing."

Although he didn't have a good impression of Wang Yang, they were classmates after all, and in this world where life was cheap, as fellow humans, Qin Nuo still wished him well.

Suddenly, a bone-chilling coldness came from behind, as if a pair of eyes were glued to the back of his head.

Qin Nuo turned around and saw Pinocchio silently appear at his feet.

"I'm done with my work," Qin Nuo explained.

"You did well. The next two hours are your free time. Of course, your freedom is limited to within the restaurant; you are not allowed to leave."

With that, Pinocchio walked away.

"So as long as I'm in the restaurant, I can go anywhere?" Qin Nuo thought for a moment and turned to head towards the back door.

***

Ten minutes later.

Qin Nuo arrived in front of a building, the area all janitors were responsible for.

"Tang Ming should be here, right?"

Muttering to himself, Qin Nuo pushed open the door.

In the hall, a hunched old lady was crawling on the ground, groping for something with her hands.

"Granny, what are you looking for?" Qin Nuo tried to ask. Judging by her attire, it wasn't hard to tell she was responsible for the ghosts in this building.

The old lady seemed not to hear and continued to crawl around, searching.

"Are you looking for your reading glasses?" Qin Nuo thought of helping her find them, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he found a round object at his feet.

An eyeball.

Qin Nuo's mouth twitched as he picked up the eyeball and handed it to Ghost Granny, "Granny, is this what you're looking for?"

Ghost Granny took the eyeball and stuffed it into her dark eye socket. Although the eyeball returned to its place, it still looked incredibly eerie.

Ghost Granny finally smiled slightly, "Thank you, child!"

"No problem, Granny. Can I walk around?" Qin Nuo asked.

Then he added, "I was a server at the restaurant."

Ghost Granny waved her hand, pounding her back as she walked into a room.

"You can't wander around this place; it's easy to get lost."

Watching her enter the room, Qin Nuo then went upstairs.

The corridor on the second floor was long, with rooms of various sizes lined up, the hallway piled with garbage, and the restroom emitting a foul stench.

Qin Nuo followed the corridor, hoping to bump into a familiar classmate.

But soon, he realized that no matter how he walked, all he saw was darkness, endless, with no end in sight.

"What the hell?" Qin Nuo frowned.

This wasn't just an expression.

There was really a ghost messing with him!

In his confusion, a pair of pale hands suddenly reached out from the wall, grabbing Qin Nuo's shoulders, trying to drag him into the wall.

"Where did this wild rat come from, bringing me food?"

Countless pale hands reached out, wrapping around Qin Nuo's entire body.

"I'm a server at the restaurant!!" Qin Nuo shouted.

"In here, I'm in charge."

The ghost in the wall wasn't afraid of threats.

"Damn!" Qin Nuo cursed, pulling out the Bone-Crushing Hammer and smashing it hard against the wall.

The blood on the Bone-Crushing Hammer seemed to have some sort of magic. With one hit, a dent appeared on the wall, and a large amount of black blood seeped out.

A piercing scream!

"Where did you get this ghost item?" The wall ghost seemed very wary of the Bone-Crushing Hammer.

With that one hit, Qin Nuo understood that this ghost's position wasn't high, and its strength wasn't great either.

He sneered coldly, "Do you think I'd dare to come to a place like this without some skills? If you dare touch a hair on my head, I'll smash you to death, believe it or not?"

The wall ghost fell silent.

Qin Nuo knew it was scared.

"Demon's Eye: You intimidated the ghost in the wall and obtained a ghost item—Human Bone Nail!"

Hearing the system's voice, Qin Nuo's expression became more composed and fierce, "Answer my questions one by one, and I won't mess with you."

"How many humans are in this building?"

It had always been in the wall, so it must know a lot.

"Twenty came yesterday, four died."

"Have you seen someone wearing a headband?"

Tang Ming loved basketball, perhaps to show off or to attract the opposite sex, he almost always wore a headband on his forehead.

"Tall and skinny, wearing red clothes?"

Qin Nuo's eyes lit up, "Yes, where is he?"

"He's responsible for cleaning the restroom on this floor, but I think he might be dead."

Before Qin Nuo could ask, the wall ghost spoke first, "If you want to know why, just go to the restroom at the end of the corridor and you'll find out."

Qin Nuo turned his head and saw that the abyss-like dark corridor had its ghost aura dissipate, becoming clear.

Qin Nuo didn't rush to leave but instead took out the Human Bone Nail and used the Bone-Crushing Hammer to slam it into the wall.

It was like a branding iron meeting cheese; the Human Bone Nail was instantly embedded in the wall.

Then came the wall ghost's terrified voice, "What are you doing?!"

"To prevent you from playing any tricks, I'll leave this nail inside. If I return safely, I'll help you take it out," Qin Nuo said.

The wall ghost felt the Human Bone Nail activating inside it, as if injected with a dose of venom, filling it with fear and terror.

"You damned rat!!"

Its angry voice echoed throughout the corridor.

Qin Nuo let it shout and scream, heading towards the other end of the corridor.

At the end, he saw the restroom.

The door was locked tight, and a strong ghost aura emanated from inside, looking from afar like a door to hell!

Even from ten meters away, Qin Nuo felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, shivering from the cold.

"What's going on with this restroom?" Qin Nuo wondered in surprise.

Creak!

Just then, a door beside him suddenly opened, and a pair of eyes quietly peeked out.

Qin Nuo gripped the Bone-Crushing Hammer in reverse, ready to swing it down.

"Don't... don't hit me!!"

The shadow hurriedly spoke, trembling with fear.

Qin Nuo recognized the figure and was slightly stunned, "Xiao Yuexin?"
