Chapter 140
Fortunately, there were still smart people present, and the man with glasses immediately rejected his proposal: "Before the number of ghosts is determined, don't. If there are five ghosts, all the sleeping people will be finished."
"But how do we confirm it?" Hao Qingjian sneered, "The system won't tell us how many people are ghosts at the moment, anyway, I don't think the number of ghosts will exceed half of the total, otherwise, if one ghost kills one, a living person will be killed. Wouldn't it all be wiped out? This is too unfair to the living."
Everyone nodded, feeling very reasonable.
However, Hao Qingjing's words still verified Ye Xu's conjecture. It turns out that ghosts can indeed kill one ghost, as long as the number of ghosts in a space is greater than or equal to the number of living people.
Fortunately, he didn't rush into the toilet with the cashier before, otherwise he would overturn the car.
But it's not fair or something... The system father probably doesn't bother to be fair to these bad guys, and it may be eager for more of these bad guys to die. Therefore, Ye Xu didn't think that the number of players must be greater than the ghosts at all, but secretly recorded this situation and kept vigilant at all times.
The third round of work from two to four o'clock, it's time to start tossing the cleaners, cashiers and billers. Of course, this is relative.
The first round was a small fight, and the second round was tossing the waiter and chef because of the dishes. In the third round, the number of guests was extremely large, and they came and went in a hurry. The dishes are all dishes that can be cooked in one pot, and each pot is quick to cook.
Ye Xu and the others weren't particularly busy serving dishes, because all the customers ordered the same thing, so it's enough to send a copy of each dish to each table. However, the bookkeeper needs to remember which table comes first and which table comes later, and remind the waiter which table to give first. When recording, he is tired and drooling when reminding.
The cleaners are so busy that many times the table has just been cleaned up, and the next guest arrives, and they will be scolded if they are a little slower. Hao Qingjie couldn't be lazy now, so he couldn't just let the thin Liao Qingjie work alone.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to work part-time as a cashier. The manager asked the female chef to take a part-time job, because this time the dishes did not need to be cleaned, and many of them were directly taken out of the refrigerator and cut into the pot.
The female chef was so angry that she had only been busy for a long time in the last round, and she has to do tiring work again this round. Is cashier work easy to do? Also remember what the guests have ordered, and then check out. If it weren't for the fact that everyone ordered similar dishes, she wouldn't go to work obediently.
Ye Xu ran fast, so he didn't feel very busy. The waitress was not very happy over there, because she was running slowly, she started to pant after a while, and a few times she almost bumped into the guests that Ye Xu led into the door.
Of course, the reason why she was tired was that she had two or three times as many customers as Ye Xu.
Ye Xu expressed deep sympathy for her, but did not want to serve her. He has no hobby of helping bad people, and because Ye Xu was in the control group with her and performed better than her, this girl didn't like seeing Ye Xu very much, and often secretly gave Ye Xu a cold face.
Because the restaurant was too busy, many players said they couldn't support it when they took a break after four o'clock and had to eat dinner in advance. Seeing them like this, the two masters didn't shirk, and gave them two more pots of noodles, and continued to eat them with sauce.
When Ye Xu Sheng finished the noodles and was about to scoop the sauce, he saw the short chef and said, "I found something before, I'm afraid these sauces can't be eaten casually."
Ye Xu looked at him in surprise, isn't he a ghost, why would he remind others not to eat the sauce indiscriminately? Oh, no, he reminded him just because he was a ghost. Because he doesn't want other people to become ghosts, he can't kill them after they become ghosts, and secondly, if he becomes a human at any time, he will be unlucky if other people become ghosts.
Thinking of this, Ye Xu calmed down and stood beside him holding the bowl and listened to him quietly.
"I flipped through the recipe, and except for tomato sauce and this mirin sauce, other sauces appeared, and every dish had sauces. I think there must be something wrong here." The short chef said, while I took the recipe and showed it to everyone, "Everyone has eaten the ketchup, and it's no problem. This Weiji sauce is probably fine, and the rest of the sauce is not a problem. It's very likely that they were eaten by ghosts. People eat ghosts. What will happen to the sauce? Itโs hard to say.โ
Compared to becoming a ghost, the first reaction of many people is that they will die after eating. Just like a dog will be poisoned by eating chocolate that can only be eaten by humans, people may also be poisoned by eating ghost sauce, or have gastrointestinal discomfort, which can lead to death in severe cases.
Regardless of whether this guess is true or not, everyone's first reaction is to look at the sauces vigilantly. Someone took the other two and started to read it, and verified the short chef's statement. It is true that only ketchup and mirin sauce have not appeared in the recipe.
"But that doesn't mean that Weiji sauce can be eaten indiscriminately, right?" the waitress retorted.
The short chef looked at Ye Xu: "But this little brother ate Weiji sauce at noon, and he was fine."
If you think about it carefully, it seems that this is the case. The suspects of murder at noon were Dwarf Chef and Hao Qingjian who ate other sauces, not Ye Xu.
"Yes, the two of you ate this sauce for ghosts at noon!" Everyone reacted and suddenly became commotion, "Did you two become ghosts because of this?"
The manager interjected: "I guess it is possible to become a ghost after eating the reward of a ghost?"
This time, the five people who ate other sauces at noon were all suspected, including Ye Xu. But because Ye Xu's sauce didn't appear in the recipe, he was the least suspicious.
"You may be a ghost, we can't believe you." The glasses man pushed his glasses and said calmly.
At this moment, the female chef said: "I also had a little bit of weiji sauce for lunch... I couldn't help but taste it at the end, but I'm definitely not a ghost, otherwise the waitress who only ate ketchup would be alone with me. I'll definitely kill her when I go to the bathroom."
This has persuaded a lot of people. Even if there are people who insist that "you will be exposed when you kill her, so you won't do it", but everyone thinks that compared with the ghost who will plan and don't do it, it's better that she hasn't turned into a ghost. Be reliable.
"I just want to tell you this, don't touch these dangerous sauces casually. After all, if it just turns into a ghost, we can accept it. If you eat it, it may cause food poisoning, which would be bad. Even if it's not food poisoning, it just causes gastrointestinal discomfort, and it will seriously affect everyone's work, right?" said the short chef with a displeased face.
This is quite similar to his previous character design, but Ye Xu still feels a bit inconsistent, probably because of the psychological effect of knowing that he is a ghost.
After the short chef finished what he wanted to say, he continued to eat noodles and didn't care about anything else. For the sake of safety, others did not touch the sauce on the menu.
When the female chef was scooping the sauce, she muttered: "I think there is no difference between weiji sauce and ketchup, they are not on the recipe, don't you suspect eating it because you haven't seen it before? There will be an accident? But no one can guarantee that the ketchup will be safe, what if this ketchup is manipulated by ghosts?"
Everything she said makes sense. Players are wary of the first one in Weiji sauce and ketchup, just because they haven't seen it and haven't eaten it much, but that doesn't mean that ketchup is definitely safe. Some people hesitated for a while and decided to eat only white noodles instead of adding sauces indiscriminately. Most people still eat ketchup or mirin sauce. And because of the female chef's words, they are no longer intimidated by Weiji sauce.
Ye Xu felt that something was wrong. He found that only the bookkeeper and Hao Qingjian chose the ketchup, and the waitress didn't add anything. The rest of the people chose Muji sauce, but when Ye Xu looked at that Muji sauce, he didn't feel like he wanted to eat at noon at all.
Instead, he feels a bit like his reaction to the ghost sauce, as if this is not Muji sauce, but something else. On the contrary, he had the feeling of noon for another sauce marked with one of the names of ghost sauces.
There are only two possibilities. First, someone changed the label of the sauce, and second, his perception of the sauce was wrong.
Compared with the second point, Ye Xu believes that the first is right. He felt that his perception was not wrong, and someone changed the sauce.
Why does he want to change? He wants others to eat miso and turn into ghosts?
Ye Xu was startled, and now the only one who is sure to remain alive is the waitress without sauce. The rest ate ghost sauce, and the other two who chose ketchup were ghosts themselves.
If Ye Xu had chosen ketchup, or the correct miso sauce, he would have been the only two left alive. There are more ghosts than living people, and he is dead.
Even if the two ghosts who chose ketchup become human, and there are four ghosts out of five, it is still not safe.
After thinking about it, he decided to go with the crowd and eat the fake misji sauce. Anyway, it's 100% safe to be a ghost at this point.
After eating "weiji sauce", Ye Xu felt that he had fallen into a very strange state. He seemed to indent into the depths of his body, becoming a bystander, watching another being manipulate his physical activity.
From the perspective of this other existence, Ye Xu clearly identified the living people around himโthe bookkeeper, the waitress, and Hao Qingjian. The remaining six people are all ghosts.
Not only that, Ye Xu also found that all the sauces except ketchup had been changed labels. Because ketchup is the only red sauce and cannot be replaced.
But this ability to distinguish does not seem to be brought only by the identity of ghosts. Ye Xu found that this was related to his time and space perception skills. Under the dual effect of ghost identity and skills, he was able to distinguish which name each sauce corresponds to.
If it's other ghosts, I'm afraid they won't be able to tell them apart, and they can only tell by labels.
At this time, Ye Xu also noticed that the restaurant manager hadn't eaten the noodles with sauce, but he was already a ghost. Ye Xu looked at him in surprise, and suddenly understood why the sauce was being replaced.
The only chefs who can get access to the sauce and replace the label are the chefs who are both male and female with glasses, and the dwarf chef will not do it if he wants to keep everyone human. Only the restaurant manager has the motivation and opportunity to start. . The reason why he wants everyone to become ghosts is actually not difficult to guess. He just wants the number of ghosts to be greater than the number of people, so that several players can be eliminated at once.
And after turning into a ghost, Ye Xu learned that after the player takes over the body again, he will have the memory of the ghost. But when ghosts choose sauces, they are forced to choose them randomly, and they cannot choose ghost sauces on their own initiative because they know that eating ghost sauces can make them a ghost forever.
This also explains why Hao Qingjing and the recorder knew that it was safer to continue eating ghost sauce, but they still went to eat ketchup that would make them return to a living state.
Now there are six ghosts and three living people. These three living people have basically been chosen to be sentenced to death.
The author has something to say: Ye Ye's big move is still behind, don't worry
