Hurry up and make money, or you will be banned!

"Enter the arena, let's discuss at the door!" A fluffy ball with long ears flew over from the door, "Master, are you ready! OVER!"

Xuelu glanced out through the broken glass door, then trotted, and got behind the checkout counter of the hypermarket on the first floor.

He took a deep breath, adjusted the salesman's overalls No.13 times, adjusted his naturally curly sideburns No.14 times, and took out his terminal to look at his "appearance".

In the reflection, under the baseball cap of the salesman who was smeared with blood and couldn't read the words clearly, half of his porcelain-white face was covered by dirty black blood, reminding people that this person is definitely not a good person.

"551," his voice trembled nervously, "how is my appearance?"

The bunny-eared plush dumpling known as 551 reads in cadence: "Master, you are so beautiful, I have never seen such a suave, suave, unrestrained, unrestrained and unrestrained person..."

551's rabbit ears were punched flat: "Don't say what should be said, and say a lot of what should not be said!"

Even though the rabbit ears were flattened, there was a hoarse roar from the coffin: "I was wrong! Master, you are so frightening that I can't even speak!"

Beside him, another man in his 40s who was also dressed as a ghost salesman couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you a newcomer, so nervous?"

Xuelu took a deep breath: "I, I just passed the internship period, and this is my first official dungeon! I will take care of seniors! Oh no, please take care of me seniors!"

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The man seemed to have a lot of experience, his face was smooth, showing a kind smile, and the kind smile lines were drawn.

It's a pity that the appearance is too weird, this smile, the meaning of kindness is almost zero, but an eyeball is lost, and it fell to the ground with a slap.

The eyeballs didn't know whether they were real or fake, and a pool of blood rolled out on the ground. When it finally stopped, the pupils were upward, full of hatred and viciousness.

In Xuelu's eyes, a panel appeared on the eyeball.

【Zhang Wensheng's eyes】

Quality: F

Source: E-level copy "[-] Supermarket"

Function: The first person locked by the pupil will experience Zhang Wensheng's death after 3 seconds.

Number of times: 1

It is the "must die" props that come with the NPC identity in this instance.

The man chuckled and placed his eyeballs in the middle of the cash register, making sure that people could see them at first glance.

"My surname is Zhang. You can call me Uncle Zhang. I am also an old man with more than a dozen dungeons. You can follow my rhythm later and guarantee that you will kill players in a mess."

Seeing Uncle Zhang's ordinary face brimming with confidence, Xuelu felt a lot more at ease: "Senior, don't worry, I will fight wherever you point. I have many advantages, ah, no, not many advantages, but I am very obedient!"

-

Xuelu and Uncle Zhang are employees in the escape game "Nineteenth Floor". Generally speaking, they are the "NPC" or "BOSS" in the players' mouth.

Just like other cliché escape games, the task of the "Nineteenth Floor" player is to clear the copy and gain the survival period.

And the "gold coins" obtained by clearing the dungeon can make wishes come true.The range of wishes is very wide, such as strengthening the body and exchanging various props or equipment.If you have enough gold coins, you can even make a wish to leave the game. Of course, there are also people who don't want to leave, and build their own comfort zone in the main city, indulging in the fictional dream of the "nineteenth floor".

What the players on the "Nineteenth Floor" don't know is that in the mirror space of the player's "main city" is the employee world of the "Nineteenth Floor".

The task of the employees is simple and rude: prevent players from passing through the instance.The fewer players clear each dungeon, the more "gold coins" they will get as wages. If the dungeon has a 0 clearance rate, there is even a chance to draw rare employee props.

Of course, the existence of employees is not against the sky. They also work through the role settings provided by the task panel and the props provided by the instance.At the same time, after going through one copy after another, you will also get props, equipment, etc. to improve your own strength.

Therefore, when there are old employees in the dungeon, the employees with the same purpose, rich experience and low qualifications will take the initiative to listen to the instructions of the old employees, and the working environment is very harmonious and friendly.

-

Xuelu opened the task panel for the last time to confirm her work list.

【The main work】

2. Conceal what happened to the "[-] Supermarket" ten years ago.

【Currently Cleared Players】

Xuelu and Uncle Zhang quickly exchanged information.

Uncle Zhang said that his main job is the same as his, and his identity is a salesman named "Zhang Wensheng".Zhang Wensheng can kill the player when the player remains stationary for more than 3 minutes.But Zhang Wensheng's restriction was that he could not enter the women's restroom, nor could he enter the first basement floor of a large shopping mall.

His carrying item is the eyeball that just fell off. He originally wanted to press it in the eye socket, so that someone could take the opportunity to kill the player if they looked at each other. Unfortunately, the item cannot be fixed, so he can only find a place to put it.

"So, the area where we live together is the first floor. Uncle Zhang, what do you think the player's task will be?"

Uncle Zhang thought for a while: "The hypermarket is only equipped with our two salesmen... I just inspected the dungeon map. The whole mall is very large, and the expired and rotten food and other commodities in the mall are very finely made-according to me. Judging from the experience of so many dungeons, it should be about finding objects, followed by plots, exploring the truth about the abandonment of hypermarkets. But the possibility of the latter is low, you see, the system didn’t give us too much plot information.”

"As for identity information, both of us are salespersons, that is, store employees. In theory, we can exercise all actions of store employees, such as using store equipment, interfering with players as employees... It's a pity that the salesperson cannot directly take Weapons kill."

Xuelu took notes one by one in the small notebook, and nodded adoringly: "Uncle Zhang's analysis really makes sense, so what is our plan?"

Uncle Zhang smiled charmingly: "Responsiveness."

Xuelu's expectant stunned hair was crooked.

"Ah," he was a little disappointed, "isn't it right that we wait on the first floor to see if we can take advantage of the home field advantage to trap a few players, then find out their missions, and then split the action between the two? ..."

The corner of Uncle Zhang's mouth twitched: "Cough, have I not thought about what you said? I am here to test your newcomers' adaptability!"

The 551 rooster who was on the sidelines crowed: "They finished discussing tactics! Headed to the door! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

-

This is an abandoned mall.

"[-]" hung crookedly on the roof of the building, as if it was about to fall down in a second.

In the gray glass showcase, densely covered with white characters of "Demolition", the severed head of a mannequin with dull complexion is staring out of the window.Inside, the lighting system that has been in disrepair for many years is flickering with inorganic white light nervously, and the sinister atmosphere is almost turned into substance.

And outside the abandoned shopping mall, there is a pitch-black space where you can't reach your fingers and you can't reach your fingers.In this abyss-like world, only this weird abandoned shopping mall exists at the end.

Suddenly, the sound of sparse footsteps walked to the door of this strange place with fear, but unswervingly.

It turned out to be twelve people.They were all dressed in different clothes and of different age groups, so a group of people gathered together seemed extremely disharmonious.

The one who started was a middle-aged man in a jacket and mountaineering equipment: "How many are newcomers? No need to pretend, judging from the mission, the players this time are all from the same camp..."

After looking at each other for a while, the two young men trembled and said, "Is what the nineteenth floor said true... If you get 5000 gold coins, you can...?"

After a brief science popularization, when the leading middle-aged man pushed open the door of the "[-]" store which had been in disrepair, this was what he saw.

Bloody handprints and bloody footprints densely covered the ceiling and walls.In the drowsy room, the nervous flickering lights turned bloody from time to time.The vegetable counter at the entrance was full of rotten and blackened wreckage. Fortunately, it was too long and there were no flies or other insects.All the products seemed to have been soaked in a sea of ​​blood, and there were shocking blood-black traces in the seams.

And in this malicious store filled with resentment and the smell of blood and fish, there were two figures standing quietly behind the cashier.

The moment the door was pushed open, the two figures looked at them together.

Pale face, resentful eyes, and extremely excited to frightening expression——

"welcome--"
