Trembling At A High Altitude

The illusion in front of the general manager disappeared in an instant.

He found himself standing in the courtyard with five other people.

Then, the salesman's shrill screams filled everyone's eardrums.

The general manager boldly went to the window and saw that the female ghost from yesterday appeared again, and it was she who was killing the salesperson.

The female manager stood motionless beside her like a puppet.

It seems that the female manager is just being used by the female ghost, or perhaps the female manager's death has strengthened the female ghost's ability, giving the female ghost the ability to create hallucinations or illusions.

Half a minute later, the salesman's screams stopped.

"Just now... I had a hallucination just now. Look... I saw the evil ghost chasing us, and he was about to catch up! I pushed him away and asked him to run away. Unexpectedly... I fell into the evil ghost's trick!" The general manager had already realized what had just happened and turned around to explain to everyone.

No one else spoke.

Obviously, what happened just now is what the Taoist priest calls a "secret that cannot be revealed."

Because she betrayed her companions, the female ghost's abilities were strengthened.

You can even launch hallucination attacks tonight.

He created an illusion of blood marks on the bedroom wall and forced everyone out of the room.

He also launched hallucination attacks against the general manager and sales staff individually, making them mistakenly believe that they were still in the room.

Then let them continue to flee, but fell into the trap of being alone.

…

No one dared to go back to the bedroom.

But the rules seem to be working.

After the salesman was tortured and killed, strange things never happened in the old house again.

It seems that despite the twist that the female manager asked for her life, the ghost still cannot violate the rule that if he kills one person in one night, he must leave.

Everyone spent the second night peacefully.

In one more night, the filming of this script can be completed.

After waking up in the morning, the general manager has been worried.

He regrets it now.

Regret had a quarrel and conflict with the female manager.

He thought he was smart and used ghost hands to get rid of the female manager on the first night.

Unexpectedly, it made the plot more difficult and made him and the salesman the target of revenge and death.

On the second night, the salesman also died in his hands.

You can imagine what will happen on the third night.

There is no doubt that on the third night, he will become the double target of revenge for the female manager and salesman.

If anyone was going to die on the third night, he had the best chance.

He must find a way to solve the current dilemma.

There is only one solution to this dilemma.

And it's simple.

As long as someone died for him, he could spend the third night in peace.

Soon, he had a very evil plan in mind.

A perfect plan with a high success rate, almost 100%.

"The Taoist priest is going on a long trip today. I'm going to have a talk with the Taoist priest alone. Don't come with me." After breakfast, the general manager said a few words to everyone.

Now everyone else is a little afraid of the general manager. He told others not to follow, and naturally others will not follow.

…

The general manager stayed in the Taoist temple for half an hour before coming back.

He was smiling brightly, and when he came back, he had a talisman with a strange pattern attached to his body.

"I have obtained the secret technique of avoiding ghosts from the Taoist priest. Anyway, I am safe tonight." The general manager said a few words to the others.

Others didn't believe his lies.

"That Taoist priest is a master of Taoism. I just watched him fly away with my own eyes, flying away from the woods behind the hill, but he also left me a way to spend the night safely." The manager said a few more words.

Others were dubious. They couldn't trust the general manager now.

"Believe it or not."

After the general manager finished speaking, he went to the Taoist temple on the hill alone.

"What do you do tonight?"

The five people in the yard discussed.

Of course, it was mainly the male driver, female financer and female secretary who were negotiating.

Cleaning uncle Li and the female supervisor still didn't say much.

"Will his method work? It looks real." The female secretary spoke, and the 'him' in her mouth referred to the general manager.

"He can't be trusted." The female finance official said.

"What should we do? Will we be the next one to be pushed out as a scapegoat tonight?" The driver was worried.

"What can we do? We can't imitate him, right?" The female secretary sighed.

There was no result from the discussion.

The remaining people are not people with ideas, and their thoughts are not as vicious as the general manager.

At most, just follow the crowd.

No one played mahjong in the morning, everyone went to the bedroom to sleep.

I stayed up all night yesterday and was really sleepy.

The driver, treasurer, secretary, and supervisor each grabbed a bed to sleep on, and no one gave way to cleaning uncle Li.

Cleaning uncle Li had no choice but to take the bed and quilt from that room while the mountain village man and woman were cleaning the salesman's body and spread them in the bedroom here to sleep.

At noon, the general manager returned to the courtyard and had lunch with everyone.

In the afternoon, continue to sleep.

The general manager squeezed into the driver's bed and wanted to sleep with him.

The driver had no choice but to give him the bed, and then took Li Teng with him to another bedroom. He brought another quilt and spread it in the bedroom here to sleep on.

It's safe during the day anyway. Even if you can't sleep, try to lie down and rest as much as possible to accumulate enough strength and energy to cope with the last night.

As long as you spend this last night safely, you can leave this terrible script tomorrow.

But it can be imagined that the last night was definitely the most difficult.

Three ghosts appeared in the script!

Although they have the highest chance of taking revenge on the general manager, with the general manager's intelligence and methods, as well as his viciousness, who could have imagined that someone else would become his scapegoat?

…

After dinner, it slowly got dark.

Everyone didn't play mahjong, they just gathered in the yard and shivered.

The general manager seems to have a nonchalant look on his face, but if you look closely, you will find that he is extremely nervous and irritable.

Of course, it's more about fear.

Time slowly entered the night.

It was after eleven o'clock, then eleven and a half, eleven forty, forty-five, fifty...

In the past two nights, ghosts always appeared around midnight.

Not sure what time it will be tonight.

Will the same terrifying illusion as in the bedroom yesterday appear in the yard?

No one dared to go to the bedroom anyway.

The general manager suddenly approached the female secretary, stretched out his hand to show her a few lines of words written on his hand, and then whispered a few words into the secretary's ear.

"How is it?" the general manager confirmed to the secretary.

"Okay." The secretary hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The reason for agreeing is very simple, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Then, the general manager moved closer to the male driver, the female finance manager, and the female supervisor, showed them his palms and whispered to them respectively.

The secretary has already nodded...

Someone nodded again...

So, I can only nod.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Their own lives are the most important, and this method is indeed feasible for them.

It is also the surest way for them to spend the night safely, successfully complete the script and leave alive. No one can resist this temptation.

So, all of them nodded to the general manager one by one.

"Okay! Let's all set off!" The general manager announced without showing his palms to Li Teng or whispering.

Then he took the secretary's hand and ran towards the courtyard door.

The driver, treasurer, and supervisor all got up and followed them to the courtyard gate as agreed.

Uncle Li, the cleaning lady, had no choice but to run out.

After running out of the courtyard, the general manager and others continued to run towards the Taoist temple at the top of the more than 80 steps on the hill.

Cleaning uncle Li was exhausted and was left far behind.

When they all ran into the Taoist temple, the general manager closed the door of the Taoist temple and locked it.

Outside the door, on the steps below, only the cleaning uncle Li was alone.

The time was just past midnight.
