Who says vengeful ghosts can't go on blind dates?
Chapter 3: Go for a walk?
Seeing that his blind date seemed to be reacting rather strongly, Ren Zhizhe felt somewhat puzzled.
He simply asked the other party if they needed money.
Isn't this reaction a bit too extreme?
He felt something was off about this blind date.
It's like someone who is desperately short of money but refuses to accept financial assistance for some reason.
Is it pride at play? College students do seem to have that... no, it doesn't feel like it.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Ren Zhizhe stopped thinking about it.
He was genuinely taken aback when he learned that the other person was a student.
Are students going on blind dates these days?
He guessed the other person was a college student, because elementary and middle school students would never come for a blind date.
As for his education... he's not Sherlock Holmes, so of course he couldn't tell anything. But he probably didn't get a master's degree, otherwise the other person would have mentioned it.
But it's hard not to think things through when a college student goes on a blind date. So, Ren Zhizhe asked about the other person's family background.
Sure enough, his family was in dire straits.
Given the poor economic situation in recent years... could it be that the other person is only looking for money during this blind date?
So, Ren Zhizhe casually mentioned money again.
After that, the blind date became this nervous.
Thinking about it this way, could his question just now have been misinterpreted as an interrogation?
A hint of helplessness flashed in Ren Zhizhe's eyes.
But ultimately, it was just a reason he thought he could explain, and upon closer examination, it still felt a bit forced.
Forget it. There's no point in guessing. Let's just ask directly.
"So, may I ask... um? What's wrong?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaowei's face had turned much paler, Ren Zhizhe immediately changed his tone and became concerned.
"Um...excuse me," Jiang Xiaowei asked hesitantly, "could we order a few cups of coffee first?"
She seemed a little unsure of herself when she spoke, perhaps because she had just claimed to be short of money.
"Coffee? Hmm, I'll go order some."
Seeing that the other party seemed to be trying to change the subject, Ren Zhizhe immediately gave up the idea of asking for clarification.
It seems the other person isn't keen to talk about it. Pressuring them will only ruin the blind date.
What kind of coffee would you like to drink?
"This, this, just like you, that's fine."
"Okay." Ren Zhizhe said, glancing at Jiang Xiaowei as he spoke.
By the way, is the other party too nervous?
This situation seems to have started after the family's financial difficulties were exposed.
So it really is about money, right?
Ren Zhizhe suddenly had a headache.
It seems that the biggest challenge on the road to blind dating is money.
Because of the existence of money, it is impossible to simply judge whether a blind date is a good match.
He shouldn't have directly told the other party about his financial power.
Unfortunately, it was too late... If there is a next time, he will definitely remember this.
Ren Zhizhe sighed.
He went to the front desk and ordered from the spider demon.
"Two cups of coffee, plain."
"Yes, yes!"
Although the eight mouths responded haltingly, the Spider Demon immediately got to work.
But what is original coffee?
He didn't know what Ren Zhizhe meant by "original flavor".
However, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After some deliberation, Spider-Man served up the most dangerous "coffee".
Ren Zhizhe took the "coffee" with one hand and handed over the ghost money with the other.
"Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to visit again!" The Spider Ghost didn't dare to count the exact amount of the Ghost Coins, but simply accepted them.
Ren Zhizhe didn't pay attention to the guy's little tricks. After returning, he took a cup of coffee, placed one in front of himself, and pushed the other in front of Jiang Xiaowei.
"Thank you."
Jiang Xiaowei didn't dare touch the cup. She tilted her head back, looked at her own cup, and then at Ren Zhizhe's cup.
These are two glasses of thick, shiny black liquid.
If you ignore the big mouth talking inside, you might actually be able to drink it like coffee.
"Well……"
Jiang Xiaowei shrank back in fright at the mouth inside the cup.
That's good now.
The coffee's here. But is it really drinkable?
Jiang Xiaowei felt a chill run down her spine.
If I drink this, I'll definitely die, right?
Her life probably ended up being consumed along with her coffee.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a piercing scream. Looking up, she saw that it was the anthropomorphic ghost in front of her drinking coffee.
"Original flavor coffee. This is my first time trying it too, and it tastes a bit bitter." Ren Zhizhe took a few sips and put the cup down again.
It was a mistake.
It wasn't just a little bitter, it was extremely bitter!
He only took a sip, but his tongue felt unbearably bitter, as if it had been injected with anesthesia.
In my memory, original coffee shouldn't be this bitter, right?
Did he get to eat the real original version?
Or is it because of this coffee shop?
This coffee shop must be really bad!
However, seeing that his blind date was still a little nervous and hadn't even gone for coffee, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
After all, he was the one who bought the coffee.
Buying coffee was something his blind date wanted him to do.
If I don't drink a drop, wouldn't that be disrespectful to him?
Thinking about this, Ren Zhizhe felt somewhat unhappy.
His opinion of Jiang Xiaowei declined slightly, but he didn't show it.
Furthermore, out of politeness, he only stared at the coffee in front of Jiang Xiaowei for a while without asking her why she wasn't drinking it.
"You don't need to be so nervous. We can just talk and interact normally."
"I……"
However, Jiang Xiaowei kept her lips tightly pressed together, showing no sign of calming down.
How can you possibly stay calm when you're on a blind date with a vengeful ghost?!
Seeing this, Ren Zhizhe was also somewhat speechless.
He didn't quite understand. Why was the other person nervous?
He acted so exaggeratedly, as if he were some kind of man-eating monster.
He just wants to go on a normal blind date, why is it so difficult?
The two reached a stalemate, and both became somewhat anxious.
Jiang Xiaowei was afraid that she would be killed by the anthropomorphic ghost in front of her, while Ren Zhizhe was deeply worried about this blind date.
If this continues, the blind date will definitely fall through, right?
Although he didn't want his first blind date to end in failure, he really found it hard to accept the other person if Jiang Xiaowei continued to be so nervous.
Moreover, the other party mentioned that their family was struggling financially. Something had happened at home... but it was probably just that their parents had lost their jobs or something.
The agent has taken his bribe, so he probably won't risk offending him by sending someone who has experienced a major family crisis to a blind date.
Thinking about this, Ren Zhizhe pondered for a moment.
Jiang Xiaowei is too nervous right now. So, he'll have to take the lead in discussing this blind date.
"Miss Jiang, how about... we talk about something else? Like, hobbies or something?"
Staying still for too long is not a good sign.
If this continues, and the two of them keep going back and forth, they will probably soon inevitably fall into a stalemate.
To ease the tension a bit, Ren Zhizhe found a suitable reason and took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Xingxing...do you have any hobbies?"
Jiang Xiaowei still has some slurred speech.
What does this anthropomorphic vengeful ghost mean?
Is it possible that they are trying their best to make her trigger the rules of murder?
She was trembling all over. If she hadn't been forcibly suppressing her body, she would have had a hard time stopping this subconscious, violent shaking.
Ren Zhizhe thought she was nervous. Because of her nervousness, her whole body started to tremble uncontrollably.
But that's not actually the case; Jiang Xiaowei is just afraid!
This is her fear of facing a vengeful ghost!
The vengeful ghost harbors malice towards the player. This "blind date," in the eyes of the human player, is probably just another way for the other party to kill them.
So, is there a trap in this question?
"Hmm? Well, let me start by talking about myself..."
"No! Wait!"
"Well?"
"I... I'll go first." Seeing the anthropomorphic ghost's gaze converge on her again, Jiang Xiaowei's eyes darted away, and her imposing aura subsided once more.
She had no idea what would happen if she kept letting the vengeful ghost introduce herself first.
Therefore, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure this ordeal.
"My hobbies are..."
Damn it, what are her hobbies anyway?
What should she say?!
Cold sweat had silently soaked the ends of my hair.
"My...my hobby is makeup."
I'm numb. I might as well tell the truth and try anything, even if it's a long shot!
"make up?"
"Yes!"
As if afraid that the anthropomorphic vengeful ghost wouldn't know what makeup meant, Jiang Xiaowei hurriedly interjected:
"Makeup is... well, it's just liking to use cosmetics to dress yourself up."
"I see."
A strange look appeared in Ren Zhizhe's eyes as he looked over.
"Well……"
Jiang Xiaowei's expression froze instantly.
What's going on?
Wait, something's not right!
Oh no! She mentioned she was having financial difficulties before. Could it be that the other person thinks cosmetics are a luxury item?
No, that's not right. You can't say that either. The other party is a vengeful ghost that doesn't understand humans at all. How could it possibly know what cosmetics are?
However, the current situation is clearly not developing in a positive direction!
Thinking of this, she quickly continued to explain:
"Well... uh, you know, um... this used to be a hobby. Now, because... because I need money, I... I haven't paid much attention to these things anymore."
After saying that, she glanced guiltily at the anthropomorphic vengeful ghost.
Do you think you can get away with saying that?
It's quite normal to give up hobbies because of financial difficulties, right?
I think... right?
"Oh, I see. I understand."
This was not the answer Ren Zhizhe wanted to hear.
He was more curious to know if the two of them shared any common interests... Sigh, did his blind date really know nothing?
If we share common interests, we can continue chatting.
Then a cosmetic product appeared.
Goodness, how could a grown man like him possibly play with cosmetics?
Ren Zhizhe sighed inwardly.
Well, this topic is probably pointless now.
Suddenly, Ren Zhizhe noticed the other person was stealing glances at him. But, isn't this a blind date? Why is he stealing glances?
Is it because of shyness?
Hmm, in that case...
Ren Zhizhe gradually came up with a new idea.
"Would you like to go for a walk?" he suggested.
Going out for a walk could be a stroll, a meal together, or a movie.
In any case, he planned to help Jiang Xiaowei get out of this tense atmosphere first.
Furthermore, he can take this opportunity to observe his blind date more closely, and thus more accurately judge whether the relationship can continue.
Suddenly, he regretted choosing the coffee shop as the meeting place. But it was the matchmaking agency that recommended it, so he couldn't take the blame.
"Go out... for a walk?" Jiang Xiaowei was taken aback. But soon, a surge of joy welled up inside her.
According to the information provided by the eerie game, she is not the real blind date; the blind date of the anthropomorphic ghost in front of you is actually someone else.
Now, if we agree, there will be absolutely no chance of meeting the person in question.
"Okay, okay!"
"Let's go then."
Ren Zhizhe stood up and took Jiang Xiaowei's hand.
"Huh?!"
"Let's go. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?" he asked as they walked.
However, his action nearly scared Jiang Xiaowei out of her wits. At that moment, Jiang Xiaowei had no courage to answer the question, and naturally stammered, unable to give a coherent answer.
It wasn't until she was led out of the coffee shop that Jiang Xiaowei gradually came to her senses.
"Uh, I...I don't know..."
"Give me some money!"
"Well?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaowei trembled and her pupils contracted.
That voice... is it from that beggar ghost?
She turned her head stiffly. At that moment, the beggar ghost grabbed her clothes with one hand, and the bowl for begging money was handed to her.
A beggar ghost?!
The beggar ghost didn't leave?
Could it be that this ghost has been waiting for her at the door all along?
At this moment, Jiang Xiaowei looked completely terrified.
Is this beggar ghost so persistent?
Shouldn't we continue to harass other players...? Wait!
It seems that only Scarface, Gold-rimmed Glasses, Afro, and herself remain as the remaining players in this survival game.
Both the man with the gold-rimmed glasses and the man with the afro paid, so the ghost naturally became her target. As for why he was waiting outside the cafe... could it be that the two players hid while the beggar ghost was chasing him?
No wonder the afro hairstyle makes new players run away quickly. If the players run away, won't the beggar ghost be lured away?
He was used... No wonder Scarface left alone.
No, that's not entirely true.
Although I was being taken advantage of, there's really nothing to complain about.
After all, without that afro-haired guy's reminder, she wouldn't have survived at all.
But now she's being targeted again... What should she do?
You scared her.
While Jiang Xiaowei was at a loss, Ren Zhizhe's face darkened and he immediately frowned.
Seeing that the beggar ghost ignored his words and continued to hold onto Jiang Xiaowei, his face instantly darkened.
"What are you trying to do? Take your hand away!"
……
Inside the coffee shop, Spider-Ghost looked extremely grim.
This coffee shop has a rule: you must finish your coffee.
However, if you encounter a powerful demon, then there's really nothing you can do.
"Sigh, there are still two glasses left..."
Rules are absolute. So, compelled by the rules, he picked up the two cups of coffee and drank them without hesitation.
"Damn it..."
Two new mouths were squeezed onto his face.
