Moved to Golden Courtyard

"Let's go. I'll lead the way this time."

512. What you can’t get will always cause you trouble

The so-called opening of the way naturally has a literal meaning.

Xu Qi walked in front all the way, passing the dormitory, and the next place was a toilet.

Countless white cloths were hanging down, and Mei and Delta were so scared that they thought that behind each white cloth, there was a ghost hiding and ready to jump out and scare them at any time.

But only Xu Qi knew...there was no one here.

Psychology is pretty good.

After experiencing the scene in the previous dormitory, this level is already filled with a sense of oppression without even having an NPC.

Then Xu Qi found a hidden path in one of the cubicles, and the moment he led everyone out of the toilet, the evil spirit jumped out from the secret compartment!

This time Delta finally didn't hold back, and threw out a fist in fear, but was stopped by the quick-witted Xu Qi.

In fact, the evil spirit originally wanted to capture a person and let him act alone. But out of gratitude to Xu Qi, he just left.

It's not easy to work in a haunted house...

And further ahead, there was another long corridor. This time, a petite female ghost in black clothes stood in front of everyone early.

Even though the person was just standing there quietly, Mei was still startled when she saw him when she turned the corner.

Well...very good, Xu Qi was hugged tightly again.

If you were to ask what people think of this haunted house?

The review is very soft...

Perhaps because the female ghost also looked petite and delicate, Delta was not afraid this time. He was about to step forward and walk around the female ghost in black to go to the corridor.

As a result, the man stretched out his hand and was stopped by Delta.

"Ah? What does this mean? You won't let me pass?"

The female ghost in black did not answer.

Delta seemed to want to prove to Xu Qi that he was not frightened just now, so he glared and said, "I'm going to go over there anyway! Do you think I was brought up to be frightened?"

As a result, I just finished speaking.

Heavy footsteps sounded at the end of the corridor.

The dim lights gradually lit up, and a tall figure dressed as a skull-crushing doctor appeared, holding a blood-stained mace. After a few seconds of pausing...

Rushing towards Delta instantly!

"what!!"

Screams rang out again, and Delta fled in another direction in panic.

Seeing this, Xu Qi had no choice but to follow - of course he knew that this was the way to go.

This time, they arrived at a mourning hall with a coffin.

Delta now had a look of being teased. She held onto Xu Qi's arm tremblingly, no longer caring about her image as an older sister. At this moment... only Xu Qi's presence could give her a sense of security.

So the number of people hanging on Xu Qi changed from one to two.

The review is small and warm - I mean the haunted house.

Just as everyone was looking for a way out, there was some movement behind them.

Delta and Mei were so frightened that they turned around quickly. Then, as if they had coordinated well, the moment they turned around, the coffin lid behind them suddenly opened! They were startled again.

The two little girls were also very scared. Seeing their sister hugging Xu Qi's body, they also pounced on her!

The result was that when the NPC who played the female ghost stood up from the coffin... she suddenly began to doubt her life...

What is this picture? One man and four women? And three little girls! ?

So fertile?

"Uh..." Xu Qi saw that he was almost covered with people, so he had no choice but to ask, "Hello, what's going on?"

What are you asking me in the haunted house?

Are you OK!

Fortunately, this is indeed a link to interact with NPCs.

The ghost girl jumped out of the coffin - this was actually a little cute. It was over. Xu Qi felt that he could no longer get into the horror atmosphere.

She looked around, then pointed at Xu Qi and then at the coffin.

"Um... do you want me to lie in a coffin?"

The female ghost nodded.

Xu Qi was about to agree, but was stopped instantly by Delta!

"Wait a minute!...Xu Qi, I heard from the staff at the door that there will be forced reductions in numbers inside, so I will have to travel alone for the rest of the journey.

Are you sure...you want to go?"

Xu Qi blinked.

"But I'm not afraid?"

But I'm afraid!

Fortunately, Delta didn't need to say this, because Mei held Xu Qi's hand even tighter and said quickly: "No, no! Xu Qi, don't go, stay with me..."

There was a softness in her words that was craving to be protected. Add to that the fact that the other person was hugging her tightly, and the plump touch made Xu Qi's body seem to go limp.

"Okay... okay... cough!... Ghost sister, look, can I not go?"

As he spoke, Xu Qi revealed a faint smile and looked at the female ghost.

Under that eerie wig... the ghost girl suddenly blushed - he seemed quite handsome...

So he reached out and thought only of the noisy Rosalia.

“Eh!? No, it’s too scary to be alone… Lilia! Come and accompany me!”

"No matter how you think about it, there's no way anyone can accompany you in this kind of situation..."

Before Lilia could finish her words, she saw the female ghost moving her finger towards her again.

It seems that sometimes, we can't say things too absolutely.

After watching the two little girls slide out of the coffin like they were on a slide, Xu Qi accompanied Mei and Delta for the rest of the journey.

Shouting and yelling all the way, Xu Qi was either held tightly by Mei or by Delta.

He really couldn't believe that Miss Delta, who was usually so dignified, would have such a lovely side?

But there was one thing Xu Qi finally understood.

For couples, a haunted house is indeed a date destination, provided it is scary enough.

After experiencing all the scenes, Mei and Delta ran faster than anyone else when they saw the lights at the exit. It was a real feeling of being redeemed.

The two men bent over and supported their knees, gasping for breath at the exit of the haunted house.

It was indeed quite scary. There were NPCs pretending to be ghosts everywhere along the way, and one even maliciously gave them a red candle-like electric light.

In a dark environment, most people can't help but turn on the lights when walking, and then become a sitting duck in the eyes of the NPC...

I found an empty table with the two of them and sat down. Now I finally understood why the outside of this haunted house was decorated like a tea restaurant.

"Take a break. Do you feel excited?"

Mei nodded frantically, and seeing Xu Qi sitting next to her, she grabbed the other's arm and leaned close to him. This time she really couldn't leave Xu Qi.

Seeing this, Delta's eyes flashed with envy, but he quickly calmed down and frowned and asked, "Where are the two little guys?"

"They are still inside. I just asked the staff, and they are having a great time. They don't want to leave."

"..."

Mei stared with her big watery eyes.

"Xu Qi, I was so scared just now..."

Now he really turned into a three-year-old child, with a pale face and looking so weak and powerless that I felt pity for him.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm still here with you."

Seeing Xu Qi hugging Mei and comforting her, Delta couldn't help but lower his eyes.

It's nice to have someone to lean on at times like this...

"Delta, do you want me to take you back later?"

Delta looked up in astonishment. Xu Qi's smile was particularly bright in his eyes...

"I...can't..."

It's not hers. After all, crowdfunding group 456127940... is the warmth that does not belong to her.

513. Ai Lishia? Family discipline!

Coming out of the haunted house and parting ways with Delta and the others, Mei watched the petite girl leave and couldn't help but glance at Xu Qi beside her - what kind of charm is this...

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I was just wondering, do you usually interact with her a lot?"

"Of course. Although not many people would say so, I always think that Director Delta is definitely a treasure of our ETStudio."

Mei blinked. She had not yet recovered from the excitement of going to the haunted house.

At the moment, she is still like the young Mei, with some lively and playful behaviors.

"What does it mean?"

“In the animation industry, those who are praised as geniuses or not-for-sale are often original artists, animation supervisors, directors, etc. These positions require a lot of artistic talent.

For example, Miss Xilin, who is currently on loan to our company, is an all-rounder in three areas, and each of them is considered the best in the industry! She is a true genius.

But for me... talents like Delta are truly unavailable. If Seed Studio didn't have Delta, I find it hard to imagine how the work would be carried out.

This is undoubtedly disastrous for the progress of the entire animation."

In other words, she is a management talent. Even if she is not in the animation industry, she can find a place anywhere. Delta is no worse than anyone else.

Mei tapped her lips and suddenly said, "Then you have to take good care of him."

"Ok?"

"Ms. Xilin is not for sale at MH Company. So, what about Miss Delta?"

"Of course she's not for sale! No matter how much other companies offer, I won't let her be poached."

A smile appeared on Mei's face.

"But you should also know that any so-called 'not for sale' is just because... the price is not high enough. Perhaps you will never let Delta go.

But there is no guarantee that there are no other companies that are interested in Delta's capabilities and they are offering sky-high prices. Can you influence the company's or Delta's own decision?"

This……

Mei only gave a little hint and Xu Qi understood it.

Any "not for sale" item is simply because the bid is not high enough.

If other companies can offer more generous treatment, it is hard to guarantee that Delta himself will not want to leave ETStudio and pursue a better life.

"There is a way to prevent this from happening."

"Ok?"

"Let her become your woman~~"

Xu Qi rolled his eyes. He thought it would be a good idea.

"Forget it. I can barely handle it right now. Add more? Please really spare me."

Mei remained noncommittal.
