The leader nervously reminded, "Later, when you hear a swoosh sound, rember to lower your head, or else you’ll lose your life."
Rosen, puzzled, asked, "What do you an by that? I understand what you an by getting a haircut. It’s just a haircut; it won’t cost a life."
"No, if I hadn’t ducked my head just now, my head would have been moving elsewhere," the leader explained. "At that critical mont, I quickly lowered my head in a matter of milliseconds to dodge that blade; otherwise, I’d be dead."
Upon hearing this, Rosen’s face turned pale: "How is it possible that you managed to duck in a matter of milliseconds? That’s impossible."
"I should ntion, it’s because I usually look at my phone, becoming one of the ’head-down tribe.’ My ability to lower my head is unexpectedly good. I leveraged this ability to quickly duck just now and avoid getting killed."
"Hell, what do I do then? I’m not part of the head-down tribe and have no talent for ducking my head."
Rosen felt a chilling light approach from behind, and in a mont of tension, he prepared to duck.
But just then, the swoosh sound never ca.
The leader next to him surprisingly started laughing.
Hearing the leader’s laughter, Rosen was suddenly confused.
In such a situation, he could still laugh?
"Puhahaha!" At this ti, the Ghost Doctor behind him also burst into laughter.
Then the Ghost Doctor patted the leader on the shoulder, laughing wildly, "Such a quick breakdown, I was hoping to tease the new employee a bit, but you gave it away! How am I supposed to keep pretending?"
Seeing the two laughing uncontrollably, Rosen understood their antics and suddenly beca infuriated: "Goodness, it turns out Ghost Doctor, you’re also an employee here? You tead up to prank ?"
Upon learning of this, Rosen was furious.
"Actually, it’s routine. All new employees must undergo a bravery test. If they’re not very brave, they work as salesn; if they’re brave enough, they beco Tomb Raiders."
The leader’s explanation finally enlightened Rosen. So, it was just a testing phase just now. No wonder Rosen encountered his first custor so soon after joining.
It turns out it was all a predetermined test.
"Did I pass the test?" Rosen asked.
At that mont, when the Ghost Doctor was untying Rosen, he said, "During the test, the leader’s laughter interrupted the process, so this test counted as failed."
"What happens if I fail?"
"It ans this test is void."
"But don’t worry, we’ll arrange a second test."
"Is the second test difficult or dangerous?" Rosen cautiously inquired, worried that the test would involve life-threatening trials.
"Very difficult, extrely challenging!" The leader and Ghost Doctor wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, their faces filled with nervousness as if suppressing so great terror.
"What’s with your expressions?" Rosen asked nervously, fearing a dangerous test.
The leader then nervously said, "This substitute test is truly hard, with a near 100% fatality rate, but it’s a true test of whether an employee possesses strong qualities. Once they pass this test, we can wholeheartedly accept them to join us in tomb raiding."
Upon hearing this, Rosen beca excited but also worried about the danger: "Can you tell the specifics?"
"The specific situation is that beneath our antique store is actually an Ancient Tomb Palace. Yet, this palace was sealed a long ti ago, what’s sealed inside, we aren’t sure. We only know that those who entered never ca back, and the one living person who returned brought back a statent saying the seal in the palace has loosened."
"Once the seal loosens, the monsters sealed inside will escape, bringing terror to the entire Demon Realm. You must know that those sealed here are demons even scarier than the Demon God!"
"Demons?"
"Yes, when people think soone is terrifying, they habitually ask, ’Are you a demon?’"
"Actually, this joke originated from this palace. Because the demons within are too frightening, almost no one dares to go inside."
"You’re making take this test; aren’t you pushing into the fire pit?" Rosen coldly asked.
"Young man, the task of sealing the demons is entrusted to you!"
The leader patted Rosen’s shoulder, holding great expectations for him.
Rosen was moved to tears, wiping his snot and tears, "I really can’t take on such a glorious task, better leave it to you, leader."
Just after Rosen spoke, the Ghost Doctor suddenly grabbed Rosen by the throat of fate, with the haircut blade pointing at Rosen’s head, fiercely saying, "You know the reputation of my haircut blade, right? If you don’t want to die, obediently execute this task!"
Terrified of the haircut blade’s reputation, Rosen nodded, knowing that if he did not agree, he’d face not just a haircut but asphyxiation from having his neck squeezed.
"Good, that’s right, obediently go execute the palace task, and quickly co back alive to complete it."
Just as the Ghost Doctor finished speaking, without giving Rosen a chance to refuse, the yellow exclamation mark above him transford into a gray question mark, forcing him to accept the task.
"I rember the task can be canceled, let try."
Rosen then opened the task panel, intending to cancel the task, but was surprised to find the task interface was locked, preventing cancellation, and that was fearso.
Furthermore, upon being forced into the task execution state, he couldn’t access other areas, only the path leading to the palace, forcing him to complete the task.
Rosen looked at the route indication appearing on the ground and walked toward the dark passage.
Finally, he followed the indication to the toilet at the antique store.
Upon entering the toilet, Rosen found the destination was ironically the toilet pit!
Suddenly, his expression turned bizarre.
"Am I supposed to jump into this bog?"
Naturally, Rosen was unwilling; after all, he’s not foolish.
He turned around to leave, only to find the space behind was blocked, a barrier constrained his area of activity to the toilet.
It ant, unless he jumped inside and teleported to the next location, he’d be stuck slling the toilet’s stench.
With no choice left, Rosen jumped into the pit.
Splash!
A multitude of unknown turbid liquid sprayed up several ters high, and Rosen instantly felt suffocated.
He continued to fall, wondering how much content was inside the pit, wondering how many years had accumulated.
Just then, Rosen suddenly felt himself pass through a Teleportation Gate.
He finally escaped the pit’s confines and entered a chilling and dark tomb corridor.
"Is this the demon palace they ntioned?" Rosen couldn’t help but question.
"Correct, this is the palace," a voice ca from beside him.
Rosen looked over; it was a vampire.
"Excuse , are you a demon?" Rosen asked.
"No, I’m not a demon, I’m a vampire," replied the vampire.
"I’ve heard the Ancient Tomb Palace is full of demons, how did vampires appear here? Aren’t vampires attacked by demons?" Rosen was a bit puzzled.
"You might not know, but in the tomb palace, aside from ghosts, there were bats, corpse bugs, all kinds of poisonous insects, zombies, and more in the beginning."
"However, on a certain day, the palace’s seal trembled, and the demonic qi inside was released, endowing these beings with demonic traits. Consequently, ghosts beca demons, bats beca vampires, zombies beca corpse kings, corpse bugs beca King Bastard bugs..."
Listening to the vampire’s account, Rosen seed to understand, saying, "It appears the cause of everything was the loosening seal releasing demonic qi, now how do I find the source of the loosened seal, can you guide ?"
"Of course, no problem, if you trust , just enter my mouth."
As the vampire spoke, he opened his jaw, stretching until it reached the ground, even pointing upward, his feet dangling in the air.
Seeing the mouth suddenly extend to human height, Rosen was shocked: "Are you going to eat , right?"
Rosen imdiately recalled the scene where Lin Daiyu was swallowed by Jia Baoyu and felt the fear in his heart.
