Qin Nuo's words might have been an attempt to lighten the mood, but the tense Wang Yang and Liu Jiaqi didn't respond.

  The guests outside the door entered.

  Vague, indistinct shadows took their seats at the dining table.

  It didn't seem that scary after all.

  Wang Yang and Liu Jiaqi both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  "Rat, you're in the way."

  A dull voice came from behind, making their hair stand on end.

  Liu Jiaqi turned around and nearly fainted.

  In front of them stood a person who seemed to have been cut into pieces and sewn back together with needle and thread. Two human heads were sewn onto its neck, oh its skin peeled off, a bloody mess.

  The other head was missing half its skull, its brain exposed to the air, with blood vessels clearly visible.

  The three quickly stepped aside, their hearts pounding.

  "Rat" was their term for humans, likening them to despised creatures that everyone wao kill.

  More terrifying ghosts tio enter, some with their stomachs hollowed out and iines hanging outside, others with faces devoid of features, just mouths...

  "You have been assigo serve Table 4. plete the er's needs, achieve an average rating, and plete three orders to finish the F-level task!"

  In the game, tasks are divided into five levels: A, B, C, D, and F.

  After pleting a task, there are five ratings: terrible, unsatisfactory, average, satisfactory, and very satisfactory.

  Achieving satisfactory or very satisfactory ratings earns a random reward.

  Terrible or unsatisfactory ratings result in punishment.

  Qin Nuo noticed Wang Yang and Liu Jiaqi looking a bit distracted, realizing they had also received tasks.

  Wang Yang: "I've been assigo Table 10."

  Liu Jiaqi: "I've been assigo Table 6."

  Qin Nuo touched his able 4, good luck to everyone."

  At the er table, there was only one guest, ed entirely in bandages, with dark blood seeping through.

  Oable, there was also a bouquet of roses.

  The empty seat opposite had tea, suggesting it was waiting for anuest.

  "Guest, may I ask what you need?" Qin Nuo approached and asked politely.

  The rotteaurant uniform, though filthy and foul-smelling, was a lifeline. Wearing it marked you as a restaurant employee, and generally, ghosts wouldn't harm you.

  The Bandage Ghost didn't speak, pushing the menu over with its selected dishes.

  "Steamed Poison Human Brain."

  "Alright, please wait a moment." Qin Nuo took the menu, nodded slightly, a.

  At the neighb table, Liu Jiaqi was wide-eyed in shock at Qin Nuo's service attitude.

  Her guest was a ghost with a chest split open, protruding ribs resembling the Mouth of the Abyss, and even its internal ans visible, making her face pale with fear.

  Following the instrus, Qin Nuo reached the kit.

  It was more of a sughterhouse than a kit.

  Bloody corpses were thrown onto chopping boards, the sound of choppi making one's scalp tingle.

  Approag a chef, Qin Nuo handed over the menu: "Table 4 guest, one order of Steamed Poison Human Brain."

  The chef was a ghost with features twisted like a pretzel. It stared at the menu, then at Qin Nuo, and spoke in a sinister voice: "We're out of human brains, use yours!!"

  Qin Nuo remained calm.

  Seeing Qin Nuo uhe chef was somewhat surprised, snatg the menu with a malicious look.

  Qin Nuo appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was rag.

  Some ghosts with employee status in the restaurant harbored hostility towards human temps, but due to the restaurant's rules, they couldn't harm humans, only intimidate them for some thrill.

  This rea left the Chef Ghost dissatisfied.

  Qin Nuo remembered ohing: as long as he did his job holy, there wouldn't be any danger.

  The dish was soon ready.

  "Done."

  A bck cy pot ced on the ter, and Qin Nuo picked it up to leave, avoiding any trouble from the Chef Ghost.

  But halfway there, Qin Nuo, to be safe, opehe cy pot, holding back his o look.

  "Ding, skill Eye of Analysis triggered."

  "Eye of Analysis: Sadly, he didn't hold on until his girlfrieurned, being painfully cut open by a thug."

  "Human skin is what he hates the most, reminding him of that painful memory."

  "Why add a few pieces of human skin io make it taste better, or for another reason?"

  Seeing the Eye of Analysis prompt, Qin Nuo's face darkened.

  That chef was indeed up to no good, adding human skin to the Steamed Poison Human Brain to frame him!

  What to do?

  If he delivered it, the Bandage Ghost would tear him apart upon seeing the human skin!

  If he didn't deliver it, he wasn't a match for the Chef Ghost!

  After a moment of silence, Qin Nuo decisively covered the pot aurned.

  "Is there something else in the dish?"

  I, Qin Nuo pced the cy pot ba its inal spot.

  The chef looked up, its face menag and terrifying: "You lowly rat, dare to doubt my cooking, tired of living?

  I may be lowly, but the guest saw the dish and was furious, saying this is your st ce. If you 't make a satisfactory dish, you'll be eaten!"

  Seeing the chef's face already torted, Qin Nuo tinued: "That's the esteemed Bandage Lord, personally received by the manager. you afford to offend him?"

  The chef was very surprised.

  Why was it being bmed?

  Shouldn't it eat this rat first?

  But it didn't dare think too much. In the Horror Kingdom, on the surface, various rules and meisms were established, seemingly a civilized nation of w.

  But iy, in front of truly powerful ghosts, these rules were as fragile as paper.

  A restaurant once made dishes that didn't suit the taste, and that ghost devoured all the ghosts in the restaurant.

  If the Bandage Ghost wao eat it, the manager wouldn't stop it, as its dish had issues first.

  "Wait."

  The chef took back the cy pot and soo out another dish.

  Qin Nuo held it in his hands, coldly scolding: "You sdrel, ime, I'll put you oable!!"

  "What did you say?"

  The chef's expression twisted almost upside down, wishing to swallow Qin Nuo whole and chew him up.

  "That's also what the Bandage Lord said!" Qin Nuo left this sentend walked away.

  The chef trembled violently but didn't dare pou wasn't sure if those were Qin Nuo's words or words entrusted by the Bandage Ghost.

  "That was thrilling, I actually cursed a ghost." On the way back, Qin Nuo's heart was still pounding.

  That st sentence was to vent some anger, but thinking back, it was too risky.

  What if it couldn't hold bad pouo eat him?

  [Demoriggered: You successfully ahe Chef Ghost, earning 3 Red Dragon items!]

  "So that's how the Demon's Eye works."

  Qin Nuo's eyes lit up, not knowing what this Red Dragon was, but it sounded impressive.

  "Extract Red Dragon item."

  A warm, heavy object fell into his palm.

  Looking down, Qin Nuo was so disgusted he almost threw it away.

  Damn it!

  It was actually a sanitary pad, and a bloody o that, utterly disgusting!
