Chapter 1342 The Contrast between Difficulty and Survival
At this point, Uncle He was obviously very angry. He didn't even eat his meal and started chatting with Chen Mu.
Just as Chen Mu expected, Uncle He usually had no one to talk to and had a strong desire to talk.
I finally met someone to chat with, and we had a very lively conversation.
This was exactly what Chen Mu wanted. He had thought that the old people here would be very secretive about the matter between Xiao Zhang and his mother.
Surprisingly, this is not a taboo in nursing homes. The elderly love to talk about this kind of gossip.
Uncle He continued:
"The director of our nursing home, Director Qi, is really great with the elderly.
When the elderly have birthdays, Dean Qi will organize a birthday dinner every month to celebrate with the elderly who have birthdays that month.
Zhang's mother had also participated in this extra meal before. Little Zhang, that unimpressive child, had never celebrated his mother's birthday and probably didn't even care when it was.
It was his mother's birthday that day. Isn't that strange?
That evening, Xiao Zhang came to see his mother with a cake. Do you know what Xiao Zhang said? He said he wanted to celebrate his mother's birthday.
We all found it strange, thinking that the sun rose from the west?
Zhang's mother was also very happy and kept hugging Xiao Zhang. We all praised her mother for being so lucky, saying that Xiao Zhang was a prodigal son who had returned home.
We didn't think much about it at the time. After finishing our meal in the cafeteria, we were still discussing how Xiao Zhang had turned over a new leaf.
No one expected that that very night, Aunt Zhang...died."
Chen Mu suddenly perked up and asked, "How did Aunt Zhang die?"
"The cake caused choking!" When Mr. He said this, his expression was a little shocked. It was obvious that he didn't quite believe that cake could cause choking to death.
In other words, someone could choke to death on cake naturally.
Uncle He said, "Don't you think this is strange? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there's something fishy about Aunt Zhang's death.
We old men all went to the room to check. The director and his colleagues also examined the case and confirmed that it was choking.
I'm not trying to slander Xiao Zhang. Doesn't this sound strange to you? We privately speculate that Xiao Zhang is probably after his mother's retirement savings.
However, without any evidence, we can't just say anything. People have their own scales, and everyone can guess what's going on.
From that day on, Xiao Zhang also got into trouble. His deceased mother, perhaps holding such deep resentment, turned into a ghost and haunted him.
It has been going on until now, and I heard that Xiao Zhang is suffering to the point where his life is worse than death. This can be considered as the retribution of good and evil.
Did Xiao Zhang invite you here to help him drive away his fucking ghost?"
Chen Mu nodded, but also revealed an indignant expression, "I never thought that Xiao Zhang would be so excessive!
We didn't know it was this kind of chusheng before we came here. If we had known, we wouldn't have accepted this order."
Xiao Shi also agreed, "That's right. I feel dirty holding money from people like that."
Uncle He said: "I can see that you are all good people. You are also paid to do things, so it is normal not to know.
But listen to my advice, Xiao Zhang, who dared to kill his own mother for gambling, is not a good person.
I understand you're making money from him, but don't risk your life for this scumbag.
I heard that one of your colleagues died today? You still have to protect yourselves. It's not worth risking your life to protect such a person!
Uncle He is a good man and kindly reminded Chen Mu.
Chen Mu nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you for the reminder, sir. We will definitely pay attention to it."
Just at this time, Uncle He had almost finished eating.
Chen Mu asked Xiao Shi to take the lunch box.
After packing up their lunch boxes, the two said goodbye to Uncle He and returned to the cafeteria to deliver the lunch boxes.
By the time I finished all this, it was only a little after three in the afternoon.
The other players haven't returned yet.
Chen Mu and Xiao Shi stayed in Chen Mu's room, waiting for the other players to come back.
Xiao Shi said, "Boss, now it seems that the truth has been revealed. Xiao Zhang did something inhumane and deserves his mother's revenge.
But Boss, I'm thinking, even if we recover the truth, it doesn't seem to be of much use."
Xiao Shi's words hit Chen Mu's heart exactly.
In previous ghost stories, uncovering the truth of the matter often brought about huge clues and breakthroughs.
There are even some strange doors that require you to complete the entire process before you can piece together the whole story.
The truth is in the ghost door, and it is often tied to passing the level.
However, in [Shanqing Nursing Home], the truth of the incident is obtained in an extremely simple way.
On the first day of their arrival, before they even spent the night, the players had already figured out the truth of the matter through Xiao Zhang's narration.
Later on the next day, the old man's description further confirmed this truth.
The context and truth of the whole incident have been perfectly restored, and any normal person can guess the truth.
But after knowing the truth, Chen Mu looked back and found that it was of no help in passing the level and surviving!
The players’ task is to protect Xiao Zhang and survive for five days.
Protecting Xiao Zhang and surviving for five days are actually the same in essence, which is to avoid Zhang Ma's strange pursuit.
How to deal with Zhang Ma's weirdness has been revealed in the [Shanqing Nursing Home Rules].
If you look at it this way, the way out is very obvious.
Players only need to abide by the rules, not break the rules, and not make any fatal loopholes, and they will be safe.
By the way, be careful and don't let Xiao Zhang cause any trouble.
Everything is so straightforward and simple that even a novice can understand the context clearly.
Is this really reasonable?
Chen Mu felt an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.
He could sense that the murderous female ghost was very cunning and could exploit any small flaw.
This generally means that the difficulty of the Guimen should be very high.
Combined with other details, Chen Mu felt that [Shanqing Nursing Home] was a very difficult and mysterious place.
But the way out given is so straightforward and simple.
These two form a huge contrast.
It was this sense of contrast that gave Chen Mu an indescribable uneasiness.
His intuition told him that the real danger did not seem to have emerged.
At this moment, Zhang Shanyi also came back.
Seeing that Chen Mu's door was open, Zhang Shanyi walked straight over.
As soon as he entered, Zhang Shanyi complained that this group of old men was simply impossible to communicate with. He barely got any useful information out of his questions, and instead, several of them talked about his tattoos behind his back.
Soon, Jiao Yixue and Xue Xuexue also came back.
As soon as Xue Xuexue entered the room, she looked exhausted both physically and mentally.
According to her description, she played cards with the old ladies for a long time.
I finally got some useful information from the old ladies.
