What the heck was this guy doing?!
This was the thought in everyone’s head at the moment. The newbies were scared that David would end up making the butler burst into anger. So they tried to warn him through their glances, but David acted like he didn’t perceive their gazes at all!
The butler’s body stiffened for a while before getting back to his senses. He blinked and nodded at the servants. The latter group scattered and started cleaning the place.

"No need. I fixed it already," said David while waving his hand. "You guys are too slow. Bad service. I’ll complaint about it for sure online."

The butler’s lips twitched again as he took a restrained breath and spat, "We’ll surely try to improve ourselves."
"That’s better."
"....." The butler ignored the young man and turned to others as his expression cooled down further. "Two of you are missing. Have you guys even realized that?"
The newbies finally came back to their senses as they glanced around. Sure, the butler was right. Two people were missing.
They started to murmur amongst themselves. It wasn’t until the butler cleared his throat did they calm down. Yet, there was a hint of panic sweeping deep into their eyes.
"I found one on the balcony." the old man turned and nodded at the servants as the latter went out, dragging a girl behind them. "This one. She’s your companion, right?"
The girl was walking in a daze. Her face paled a certain degree with every step she took. She looked like she hadn’t been able to sleep for a while. Dark circles were deeper and darker at this point as she walked in a daze.
As soon as the servants stopped her, she raised her head to see several eyes darting toward her. She suddenly screamed at the top of her voice and fell to the floor with a thud. She scooted to the corner with her head covered with her hands, trembling terribly.
"No!!!!!!! Leave me alone!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
Everyone else watched her in utter fear. They didn’t dare to say another word as they tried to think about what had happened last night.
Didn’t the butler say that they shouldn’t have gone out of the room? So could it be that two of the girls among them went out? If one of them was here, then where was the other one?
Suddenly, none of them wanted to know the answer.
The butler answered their queries: "The other one is dead. If you don’t want history to repeat itself, you better stay indoors at night."
"What kind of sh*tty place is this?! Huh?" one of the newbies couldn’t contain his frustration anymore. "You said we’d receive a reward at the end of this week, didn’t you? Is this how you reward us? By killing us all one after another!?"
The butler looked at the man for a moment before he said, "Sure, you can leave if you’re dissatisfied with our services. We welcome criticisms. For today, we will open the pool. Enjoy the day and kindly follow the rules."
After saying that the butler walked away followed by a stream of servants who finished cleaning the corridor. Only after they all walked away did the newbies start bawling in fear and frustration.
"God dammit! Why did those girls have to go out in the middle of the night?! One ended up dying while another one turned mad!"
David frowned after hearing those words. Didn’t these people see that fog ghost at night? They were still talking as if they hadn’t seen a ghost yet.
No wonder they were so calm and still in the mood of joking.
So why did the fog not hurt them as he had thought? It could be that that foggy ghost wasn’t here to kill them but do something entirely different. But what? David couldn’t come up with anything. So he stopped thinking about it.
"System, what do you think we should do?"
"Keep an eye on the newbies. Something might come out in a day or two."
David also thought so.
After the morning episode, everyone else settled down more or less. Even though they were still afraid, they had no choice but to accept their reality. Still, none of the newbies wondered whether something was wrong with the food. They went on chewing it like it was the most normal thing to do.

When they were all done eating, they went toward the pool to forget about the episode. Even then, none of them could enjoy it to the depths of their hearts.
Someone had died, and one of them turned crazy. How could they be in the mood to enjoy?
The butler frowned as he asked, "You guys don’t like our services? Do you want us to change?"
The hosts in the pool area trembled as a few of them stripped and jumped into the pool in the swimming suits they had been given by the servants. They didn’t dare to rebel against the butler’s authority anymore.
Only a few people including the experienced hosts remained at the place without moving. They hadn’t eaten the food, and they knew that something was wrong with it. So they didn’t dare to agree with jumping into the pool just like that.
David was especially rebelling. He didn’t even bother changing into his swimsuit as he entered the pool area and strolled around with a leisurely attitude. He even yawned and rubbed his eyes as if he was heck as tired.
The butler felt his insides squirming after seeing such a rebellious guest. He hadn’t ever received such a person until now. All the guests would remain obedient until the end of the week!
So what the heck was wrong with this young man?
The butler felt that he should do something about it, but he didn’t and finally stopped glaring at David. He turned around and walked out of the room.
After the servants and the butler went out, everyone else relaxed and continued to do their work. Meanwhile, David started going through the pool and the area around it as if he was inspecting something.
The experienced hosts realized that this person might be onto something as they also scattered and decided to find clues. Still, the entire place looked like it was taken out of a hotel. Everything was too perfect. There wasn’t even a speck of blood anywhere in the entire place.
David stopped searching after that as he stood on the side and focused on the people inside the pool. At this time, only a few people were still swimming. He could tell that even they didn’t know why they were still inside the water. It seemed they suddenly had the desire to swim to their heart’s content.
On the other side, the crazy girl didn’t even get out of her room. So he could safely say that she would probably be the target for the night. Then, another person would perhaps become crazy.
The cycle would repeat itself until the very end. It could be that the reward these people were talking about was death.
David could only wait for the night to act. He would definitely get out of his room before that foggy ghost could attack.
The night came sooner than expected. It was still the group of newbies who ended up having dinner before going back to the room. Everyone was locked in their rooms before David waited for midnight.
Then he wore the cape again and walked out of the door.
Shane was watching everything with a bored look on his face. These days, he didn’t have anything to do anymore. So he could only lie here all alone.
He glanced at a certain hooded girl who kept sleeping and rolled his eyes.
He didn’t feel surprised anymore by her behavior. She just called him to do free labor, didn’t she? He would surely ask her the profit of his work! It would be seventy percent this time!!!
Soon enough, he heard the host’s voice from the screen. "System, check the radar."
Shane looked at the radar and found the foggy ghost wandering about in the rooms at present. Suddenly, the door of a room in the corridor opened swiftly. A young boy walked out of the room as if he was sleepwalking. His eyes were in a complete daze as he turned robotically and walked toward the other side of the corridor, to the balcony.
David’s brows knitted. "Where is he going?"
He followed behind the boy while tugging the cape around him perfectly. As he walked, all of a sudden, the surrounding of the youth was filled with black fog. Several eyes appeared in the fog which made it seem as if several people were watching the young man.
Whispers could be heard, and David strained his ears to hear them more clearly. It could only make out a few words.
Go, and kill.
His brows furrowed further.
