Although the people were kindly invited, the man and woman did not stay in the old house to have dinner with everyone.
They said that there were old people and children to take care of at home, and only gave instructions for the crowd to throw the dishes into the sink outside the kitchen after they finished eating, and then left.
The Churches above the hill were also closed and not even the lights were on.
It seemed that this night, the crowd had to rely on themselves.
"As long as we don't split up, we'll be fine. We'll play mahjong and cards all night today, so don't split up!" While eating, the general manager spoke up.
"That's a good idea, big deal, we'll sleep tomorrow at dawn." The secretary chimed in.
"Let's move the mahjong table to the house, right? It doesn't feel very safe to stay in this yard." The treasurer looked around and suggested a few words to the crowd.
"Let's stay in the courtyard, it's convenient to go to the toilet or something, not to be left alone, and if anything happens, everyone can arrive at any time on the side." The manager did not agree with the financial proposal.
The crowd also felt that the manager had a point.
Mallory hadn't said much, just eating by himself.
People are getting old and their appetite is not what it used to be. Soon they are full and don't want to eat anymore, and they can't even eat more if they want to.
...
Evening.
The sound of mahjong, the sound of landlord.
The yard has been very noisy and has not been quiet.
The mahjong table and the landlord's wooden table were placed together.
The people even went to the toilet in pairs.
"Haha, that ghost must be annoyed now, we just don't separate, it can't do anything with us."
"That is, the premise of this script is that the ghost comes out only at night, and at night we just have to get together, the ghost has no way to do it, this bureau is easy to crack."
"We still do not take it lightly, do not think nothing because the ghost has not come out, and then inadvertently fell alone, it gave the ghost the following hand opportunity, maybe the ghost has been hiding next to us, spying on us, and then ready to strike."
"Well, that makes sense, in fact, I kind of suspect that Taoist priest, he looks strange, maybe he is the ghost, once at night to make things."
"Oh? In that case, wouldn't we be able to get through safely if we went to take him out together during the day?"
"Hey, these Taoist priests and the like that appear in ghost movies are all high achievers, even with supernatural powers, and you guys go kill him? Anyway, I am not going to participate, in case he is killed directly out of the game in return, it is too late to cry."
"How do you know if you don't try?"
"You go try tomorrow."
The crowd played mahjong and landlord while discussing the plot, and the various possibilities.
The night, getting deeper and deeper.
"It's so boring! It's not like you can gamble or anything, so you just play dry." The mahjong-playing female treasurer covered her mouth and yawned.
These group performers are either very hard or boring on weekdays, and usually go to bed very early at night.
There are very few days when they are still up this late, and most of them are a bit unsustainable.
Some all-night mahjong, playing cards and so on, are to have some lottery, with some gambling nature, win or lose will be very exciting, to feel fun, and then fight all night.
Without the excitement of the lottery, the meaning of mahjong and playing cards is lost for the most part, and it is easy to play to the point of drowsiness.
"Yes, it's true that there's no fun without gambling, but unfortunately money doesn't work here at all, unless it's gambling on points."
"There's no way to gamble on points! Points don't have the ability to transfer money."
"It's too boring, and I can't play anymore."
"I'm mostly too sleepy to last."
After the female treasurer vomited, others also vomited.
If they hadn't been afraid of being attacked by ghosts and had to find something to bring the crowd together, they would have been unable to hold on.
"Then go to sleep, close the doors and windows tightly, there are four people in one room! Shouldn't be much of a problem." The female manager suggested a few words.
"Sleeping is too dangerous, after falling asleep, I think it's the same as everyone falling alone, because when the ghost comes in and attacks one of them, the others are in a sleeping state and know nothing about what's happening." The salesman disagreed with the manageress' view.
"Four people in a room doesn't count as falling alone, does it?"
"It's hard to say."
"I suggest that all eight of us stay in one room, with the four men sleeping first and the four women watching, and then the four women sleeping again and the four men watching." The general manager made a suggestion.
"We four women sleeping, you four men watching? Why do I think this thing is scarier than a ghost?" The female manager refuted the general manager, and the crowd laughed together.
"The biggest rule of the film city, non-plot requirements, or special settings, the actors can not attack each other, especially male actors to female actors that side of things, is the most strictly prohibited, what do you have to worry about?" The general manager returned a few words to the female manager.
"It's also scary to sleep being looked at by you guys!" The female manager continued to retort, and the others continued to laugh.
"Indeed, farting, drooling, talking in your sleep and grinding your teeth while sleeping will be ugly to be looked at." The female treasurer echoed the female manager.
"Who will watch you sleep? Just sit there and make sure you don't fall asleep, so that the ghosts don't have a chance to take advantage of it. The general manager was a bit dissatisfied with what the manageress and the finance woman said, and felt that they were deliberately raising their voices.
"I think the general manager is right, this kind of way is the safest, it's not a matter to keep hanging on here, it's only after eleven o'clock, the night is too long, you really can't hold on without a rest." The secretary expressed support for the general manager.
"You can sleep in one room for men and one room for women, two of the four people on guard, two sleep, and then rotate." The female manager offered a compromise, looking like she was concerned about the matter of having men watching while she slept.
"Is life important or something else? Must we separate into two groups? The risks must be multiplied when they are separated! You are the kind of person! You're the kind of person who doesn't have a brain and likes to do things! In horror movies, it's people like you who die first! And you'll get other people killed!" The general manager was a little angry. The way he proposed, he didn't even want to take advantage of the actresses, but the manageress kept arguing with him, which made him feel angry.
"You bastard is the one who has no brain. I think your brain is filled with shit!" The female manager, who hated most in her life was to be called brainless, was told by the general manager that she was brainless, and her temper exploded.
"Can you guys stop arguing? In horror movies, accidents often start with a quarrel, speak with some attention, okay? Stop cursing and work together to get through the night safely? Please, everyone!" The driver, who had not spoken much, opened his mouth.
