Apocalypse: The Hotel She Runs Is the Only Paradise - Chapter 85: Why Twist My Brain

Chapter 85

“Let’s go!”

Gu Wanyin was delighted to have so many guests.

She took Nine-Tails, Tree Spirit, Cat Er, and Moon Eagle to the amusement park.

Naturally, the first ride they wanted to try was the thrilling roller coaster.

However, the four supernatural beings seemed unimpressed by the roller coaster. As they sat on it, the four of them just listened to Gu Wanyin’s screams.

Gu Wanyin realized why.

Moon Eagle’s true form was an eagle, freely flying in the sky.

As for the other supernatural beings, even if they couldn’t fly as skillfully, they were all mythical creatures capable of leaping three meters high without breaking a sweat.

Although riding a roller coaster wasn’t the same as flying through the air themselves, they… simply weren’t afraid.

Gu Wanyin thought for a moment, then took them to ride the bumper cars.

Sure enough, they found the bumper cars fascinating and played for a long time.

Then, Gu Wanyin had a sudden idea. She thought it might be interesting to take them to the haunted house.

The haunted house was full of real ghosts, and these were real supernatural beings… who knew what would happen?

Hehe…

“Shall we go to the haunted house?” Gu Wanyin asked. “It’s full of real ghosts. It’s quite thrilling.”

“Sure!”

Nine-Tails, Tree Spirit, and Moon Eagle all agreed enthusiastically. Cat Er remained silent, but she was always like this, not fond of talking. So Gu Wanyin assumed she agreed and led them towards the haunted house.

As they entered the haunted house, the dim, yellowish light immediately set the eerie atmosphere.

Gu Wanyin didn’t notice that Cat Er’s body had suddenly tensed up.

The other supernatural beings didn’t seem affected. Nine-Tails was even touching and looking at everything, asking, “What are we supposed to do now?”

Gu Wanyin was about to say they needed to find the exit when suddenly, a ghostly figure darted out, coincidentally right in front of Cat Er.

This ghost looked familiar to Gu Wanyin. Wasn’t it the Black-Clothed Ghost?

But in that instant, Cat Er suddenly screamed in fright, and with a swift motion of her hand, she twisted off the Black-Clothed Ghost’s head with a crack and threw it on the ground.

Gu Wanyin: “…”

Nine-Tails: “…”

“What are you doing!” The Black-Clothed Ghost was furious, its head bouncing on the ground. “Why did you twist off my head!”

It was too pitiful. Gu Wanyin and the other supernatural beings were trying hard not to laugh.

Fighting and hurting each other wasn’t allowed in the hotel, but for ghosts, twisting off a head didn’t count as harm…

Watching the Black-Clothed Ghost’s head angrily bouncing around on the ground, Gu Wanyin felt deeply sympathetic.

Cat Er’s face, rarely seen, turned red. She coughed twice and said, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t control myself for a moment.”

“Hurry up and put my head back on! Just saying sorry doesn’t help at all!” The Black-Clothed Ghost grew even angrier.

Cat Er, face flushed, picked up the Black-Clothed Ghost’s head and tried to reattach it.

“You put it on backwards! Are you an idiot?”

“I’m sorry.”

Cat Er quickly turned the head around and carefully reattached it properly.

The Black-Clothed Ghost moved its head around a bit, then complained to Gu Wanyin, “Sister, I’ve worked in the horror world for so long, and I’ve been here for a few days now. This is the first time my head’s been twisted off!”

“Stay calm,” Gu Wanyin patted his shoulder to comfort him. “As an NPC in a haunted house, this might happen often in the future. You’ll have to get used to it.”

Even if supernatural guests didn’t come, humans often killed zombies. Who knows, maybe twisting off ghost heads would become second nature to them in the future.

The Black-Clothed Ghost walked away with a bitter expression.

Well, at least it didn’t hurt. Getting your head twisted off and reattached was better than potentially vanishing into thin air at any moment.

After the Black-Clothed Ghost left, Cat Er’s face was still red.

How embarrassing!

A respectable cat spirit, scared like this by a ghost.

“It’s okay,” Gu Wanyin comforted her. “It’s quite startling when a ghost suddenly appears.”

“But you didn’t have to twist off its head! Haha, I’m dying of laughter!” Moon Eagle mocked mercilessly.

“Shut up, will you?” Nine-Tails raised a leg to kick him, but Moon Eagle swiftly dodged.

Finally, they exited the haunted house, and Cat Er let out a long sigh of relief.

Then, she looked at Gu Wanyin, seeming to want to say something but hesitating.

“What do you want to say?” Gu Wanyin asked.

Cat Er’s lips moved slightly as she said, “I wasn’t scared, it was just too sudden, so I reacted instinctively.”

She emphasized again, “I really wasn’t scared!”

“Mm-hmm, I know,” Gu Wanyin nodded solemnly. “You weren’t scared at all.”

Cat Er: “…”

Well, it seemed her cool and aloof image had crumbled. There was no use struggling anymore. Might as well go all in!

…

With so many supernatural beings coming to the hotel, plus the billboard in the supernatural realm, the hotel’s reputation in the supernatural world gradually spread. More and more supernatural beings came, and the sales of pills were increasing.

After taking the pills that increased their cultivation, the supernatural beings found that they really did gain a year’s worth of cultivation. They were overjoyed and rushed to exchange things for points to buy more pills.

Although the pills were expensive and required saving up quite a few points to buy, it was still much better than spending a year in secluded cultivation!

Moreover, many supernatural beings spontaneously began to promote the hotel.

One day, Gu Wanyin saw another group of rabbit spirits arrive.

They were all female spirits, some wearing snow-white dresses, some in gray dresses, and others in black.

Without exception, they all had long rabbit ears on top of their heads.

Gu Wanyin’s hands itched.

She really wanted to pinch those ears.

“Is it true that there are many pills here?”

“Do you have delicious carrots? What about cabbage?”

“I couldn’t find the celestial flower. Can I exchange other things for points?”

The rabbit spirits chirped and chattered, asking many questions.

Xu Shi patiently answered them one by one.

“Little brother, you’re so nice.”

“This is my treasured carrot. It’s for you.”

“No need, we service staff never accept tips,” Xu Shi looked at the carrot and refused righteously.

The rabbit spirits all completed their check-in and then rushed off to buy pills.

“Ding! Congratulations, host. Task completed. Rewards: Unlock all rooms on the 8th floor of Building 2; Upgrade 6th and 7th floors of Building 2 once; Unlock all rooms on the 4th floor of the Special Building; Unlock Weapon Shop, unlock all unlimited quantity items in the Weapon Shop; Unlock Spicy Hot Pot Shop, unlock all unlimited quantity dishes in the Spicy Hot Pot Shop.”

Hearing the announcement that a new weapon shop had opened, everyone became excited and rushed to the weapon shop to make their selections.

Although those who had survived until now all had some weapons, many people’s knives weren’t very good and had become dull, making it less efficient to kill zombies.

For those with special abilities, having a handy weapon was an added bonus.

Gu Wanyin also went to take a look at the weapon shop.

Inside were various types of long swords, daggers, short swords, and different kinds of guns.

However, there were only weapons that one person could carry. Weapons like tanks or cannons were not available.
