Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.

Chapter 9 The False Man

"Captain, we've caught a few minors."

"Give them a lecture and then let them go."

After evacuating all the customers from Xingfu Internet Cafe, Lao Li asked the two cashiers squatting on the ground, "Where's your boss?"

Zhu Qianqian raised her head and said slowly, "The boss went out on business and hasn't come back yet."

Nonsense.

Chen Feng clearly remembered that, whether it was the first or the second reincarnation, the proprietress always stayed in the internet cafe and never came out.

Zhu Qianqian seems like such a nice girl, I never expected her to lie. Could it be that she and the boss's wife are in cahoots?

Chen Feng turned on the computer at the front desk. The first and second floors were the business areas, so there were surveillance cameras. Through the surveillance footage, Chen Feng quickly found that the proprietress had disappeared from the second-floor staircase half an hour ago: "Uncle Li, look, she should have gone to the third floor."

"He's definitely hiding something." Old Li instructed his deputy, Old Yang, "Cuff those two receptionists."

Just after giving the instructions, Old Li, still not entirely at ease, added, "Don't use cable ties, go to the car and get the handcuffs."

"Handcuffs?"

Deputy Captain Yang was quite surprised. Cable ties refer to disposable police nylon cable ties. Due to their small size and ease of carrying, they are more popular with law enforcement officers than handcuffs. However, the downside is that they can be broken free when restrained by someone with greater strength.

These two delicate little girls don't look very strong. Is it really necessary to use handcuffs?

Although he felt it was making a mountain out of a molehill, Lao Yang agreed out of trust for his companion.

Then, Old Li began to assign tasks: "Now we'll split into three teams. You two will stay on the first floor with Old Yang. The three of you will go to the second floor. Ruobing, Mr. Chen, we'll go to the third floor together."

After speaking, Old Li was about to leave when he noticed Chen Feng standing still. So he asked, "Mr. Chen, do you have any objections to this arrangement?"

"Of course not."

Chen Feng said sarcastically, "I think it's perfectly reasonable for idiots in horror movies to split up and get picked off one by one by ghosts."

Zhang Ruobing was unhappy: "Can't you speak properly?"

But after thinking about it carefully, Old Li realized that it made sense: "Then everyone except Old Yang and the others who are guarding the front desk should come together."

A group of people climbed the stairs.

The terrifying scene of human skin everywhere that he had imagined did not appear. There was only wood, sand, and a completely empty hall without any decoration, just as Old Li had described.

Chen Feng asked, puzzled, "Where's the boss's wife?"

"This is truly unbelievable." Old Li's heart skipped a beat. Although they didn't find the human skin, a living person went up to the third floor and disappeared. Could there be anything more bizarre than this?

Someone walked towards the window: "Could they have jumped out the window to escape? No, it's covered in dust; there's no sign that it's been opened."

Some speculated: "A secret room? A hidden chamber?"

Chen Feng sensed something was wrong: "I went to the third floor before and I did see the whole floor covered in human skin. Even if there were secret rooms or hidden chambers, she wouldn't have had time to move so quickly."

Old Li said, "We came to the third floor this afternoon, and it was exactly the same as what we see now."

Your third floor and my third floor seem different.

Zhang Ruobing said helplessly, "There can't be two third floors, can there?"

Don't say it, don't say it!

Zhang Ruobing's unintentional remark unexpectedly enlightened Chen Feng. It is said that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and as the vixen's lair, there might actually be two third floors here.

But what are the conditions for going to the real third floor?

Chen Feng recalled the second reincarnation. At that time, in order to avoid the water ghosts, everyone was running to the third floor, but he was the only one who reached the third floor. Now that he thinks about it, that group of people may have gone there.

"And what was the reason I was able to reach the actual third floor?"

"Am I a time traveler, or am I special?"

Chen Feng quickly rejected the idea. If he was special enough to go up to the third floor, there was no reason why he couldn't now.

What's the difference between my current self and my second reincarnation?

Chen Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and discovered the blind spot: "I know! It's the key!"

Old Li, standing nearby, was taken aback: "The key?"

During his second reincarnation, Chen Feng obtained the key to this place. At that time, the landlady specifically gave him three rules, one of which was not to go up to the third floor.

Logically speaking, there was absolutely no need to remind her of this, since with the fake third floor as cover, even if she went up there, she wouldn't find anything. But the landlady insisted on reminding her, which means that at that time, Chen Feng was qualified to enter the real third floor!

The key is the secret door that leads to the third floor!

Having figured this out, Chen Feng immediately led everyone downstairs and caught a network administrator leaning against the wall on the second floor, asking, "Where are your employee keys?"

The network administrator mechanically replied: "Reboot."

Damn it, you're an idiot.

Chen Feng immediately reached into the other person's pocket and quickly found a metal key, exactly the same as the one he remembered.

"Got it!"

Chen Feng hadn't even had time to feel joy.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened!

The network administrator, who had previously only known how to repeatedly restart, suddenly made a strange, inhuman gurgling sound from his throat. Then, with a snap, he broke free of his handcuffs, turned around abruptly, and reached out to grab Chen Feng's neck with both hands.

But Chen Feng had experienced several life-or-death situations and was no longer the greenhorn he once was. When the other party made a strange sound, he quickly retreated.

At the same time, the officers, realizing what was happening, raised their yellow Tasers and began to fire.

The crackling sound of electric shocks rang out, but the network administrator did not stop moving at all!

Apart from Lao Li and Zhang Ruobing, who had witnessed water ghosts before, the other three police officers gasped in shock: "Is this even human?"

"superior!"

When the electric shocks proved ineffective, the five officers had no choice but to pounce on the man and try to subdue him. As police officers, they were much stronger than the average person, but they were almost unable to subdue the internet cafe manager.

"What incredible strength!"

Old Li thought Chen Feng was really prescient; if it were just the three of them, they might have really messed up.

At this moment, a police officer grabbed the net manager's arm, trying to hold him down. But when he exerted force, a "ripping" sound was heard, and a piece of the net manager's skin peeled off like damp wall paint!

"what!"

The police officer was startled, and his tug immediately triggered a chain reaction. The internet cafe manager's skin cracked and peeled off at a visible speed, revealing bright red, rotten flesh underneath.

"Monster! Monster!"

"Its skin has cracked!"

Even the most experienced police officers' voices changed at this moment.

After all the skin had fallen to the ground, the rotten flesh lost its vitality and died completely.

Chen Feng immediately heard the notification from the Ghost-Catching System.

[Fake Person]

[Level of Resentment: ★]

A fake?

This internet cafe is full of monsters!

Chen Feng quickly reminded them, "Quick, use the walkie-talkie to warn the people on the first floor to be careful!"

Just then, there was a loud crack!

The lights in the entire internet cafe suddenly went out.

We are currently on the first floor.

"Why did the power suddenly go out?"

"It must be because of the rain."

Suddenly plunged into darkness, anyone would be startled, and the three police officers on the first floor were no exception. They reached out, ready to turn on their shoulder lights.

At that moment, I heard a faint, dense rustling sound.

虫？

A soft clicking sound.

Old Yang felt something small, hard yet soft, crush under his feet. He thought, it's summer now, cockroaches, centipedes, spiders, cicadas, all sorts of insects are possible, it's not surprising, but what is surprising is the number.

There were lots and lots of little moving things climbing up the trouser legs.

"What is it?"

"Turn on the lights! Turn on the lights!"

In their frantic efforts, the shoulder lights finally came on, and amidst the chaotic sweep of three pale beams of light, they spotted the spider.

Many spiders, lots and lots of spiders.

The three people were covered in spiders, and there were even more spiders on the ground, wriggling like a black carpet.

Now they know why this internet cafe is so clean, there isn't a single fly in it.

"what!"

"W-how come there are so many spiders?"

Old Yang tried to escape, but found that he couldn't move his body. It was the silk threads, the silk threads spun by the spiders, that bound the three of them firmly in place.

"Don't go."

A seductive female voice rang out, and the three of them looked in the direction of the voice, only to be plunged into an ice cellar.

They witnessed the most terrifying thing of their lives, something that is almost indescribable.

A group of spiders, each covered in a fragment of skin the size of a fingernail, strung together to support the woman, Zhu Qianqian.

A rustling sound rang in their ears, and the spider torrent suddenly engulfed the three of them.

pain!It hurts so much!

The feeling of being bitten all over is so painful it could make you faint.

"Old Li! Danger!"

Old Yang knew he was going to die, so he reached for the walkie-talkie to warn his companions. But as soon as he opened his mouth, a spider crawled into his throat, causing him to cough violently.

First floor, wiped out!
