Chapter 242 Invitation
If she hadn't followed the front desk this time, Homanshu wouldn't have noticed that there was such a basement underground.
The front desk over there had already opened the door and went in. Just as Huo Manshu was about to take people in, she suddenly raised her hand to stop them.
"Wait a moment"
Huo Manshu felt something was wrong. She had set up a formation in the villa. There was no reason why she had not noticed the basement.
Now that such a basement suddenly appeared, it made people a little suspicious.
But Huo Manshu and the others were worried, but Brother Xiong and the others were not. They were going crazy with hunger.
"Get out of the way!"
Brother Xiong angrily pushed away Homanshu who was blocking the stairs.
Huo Manshu was pushed and staggered, but it was because Li Mo supported her from behind that she didn't fall.
"How could you do this?!"
Li Mo shouted angrily.
"Shut up! If you piss me off, I'll kill you!"
Brother Xiong is now so hungry that he is almost dizzy, and he is no longer afraid of Huo Manshu. Anyone who stands in his way is his enemy.
Li Mo wanted to fight back, but Huo Manshu held her back and looked at Brother Xiong calmly: "Whoever offends me is unlucky. You might lose your balance and fall down the stairs in a while."
"Even if I don't have enough to eat, I won't be blinded"
Just as Brother Xiong was about to show off his strength, his feet became unsteady and he fell down the stairs.
Xiaoya and Glasses, who had already gone down the stairs before him, quickly helped him up: "Boss, are you okay?"
They looked at Homanshu with more and more horrified eyes: "Are you a cursed witch?"
"I'm just an ordinary witch. If I were a cursed witch, you would have turned into a puddle of blood"
Huo Manshu was just talking nonsense, but she didn't expect that the glasses she was talking about just now suddenly turned into a pool of blood without warning.
At this time, even Li Mo, Qian Qianqian and others looked at Huo Manshu strangely.
"This has nothing to do with me."
Huo Manshu never admits that it is not her fault.
Xiaoya was a little scared, worried that it was a trick by Huo Manshu, and worried that such a terrifying thing really happened.
"Ahem, it's all childish. It's to stop us from following. Xiaoya, help me go."
Brother Xiong, who was dizzy just now, reluctantly opened his eyes and gave Xiaoya reassurance: "The more they stop us like this, the more it proves that there is something good inside."
Xiaoya was suddenly moved by what Brother Xiong said.
Qian Qian was a bit off-putting on the side, but after all he was someone he liked. He couldn't bear to see her take risks, so he reminded her: "Xiaoya, it's very dangerous. Don't follow Brother Xiong and make fools."
Xiaoya hesitated again. Brother Xiong felt irritated and cursed: "Xiaoya, are you on my team or on his team? If he is really kind, can he let you starve?"
Xiaoya was immediately convinced by Brother Xiong's words.
Silently, he helped Brother Xiong toward the basement door.
But before reaching the basement door, Xiaoya suddenly turned into a pool of blood in front of everyone without warning.
Brother Xiong's face darkened, but even the death of his two men could not stop him from exploring the basement.
Huo Manshu was watching from the stairs, and she didn't say anything to stop or help.
The basement door was unlocked, and Brother Xiong just pushed it open.
Joy appeared on his face, and he hurried in dragging his somewhat weak body.
Seeing Brother Xiong disappear into the basement, Huo Manshu still made no move.
Within five seconds, Brother Xiong's pitiful and frightened screams suddenly came from the basement.
[World Report: Gamer Wang Xiong clashed with the deceased and died. 】
Unlike the previous two people, Xiaoya and Glasses, who died quietly, Brother Xiong’s death was reported to the world.
Everyone knows that Brother Xiong died because of a conflict with the deceased.
But Huo Manshu was thinking about another problem.
Are there some dead people in this basement?
After all, they had all seen that Brother Xiong died after entering the basement.
"Miss Huo, what should we do?"
Li Mo, who had planned to follow him into the basement, retreated because he heard the news of Brother Xiong's death.
Brother Xiong died just after entering. Who can guarantee that they will live longer than Brother Xiong?
"You guys wait for me here, I'll go in and take a look."
Huo Manshu would not ask to be followed to death. Usually if there was a real situation, she would do it herself.
Even after knowing that Brother Xiong died in the basement, and that two people even died inexplicably in front of the door, she still decided to go and take a look.
In the real world, Homanshu also experienced hunger when she was a child. It was so sad. Instead of dying of hunger, it would be better to fight for a future.
What's more, the most important thing is that Huo Manshu doesn't think she will die.
Huo Manshu always believed that the goddess of luck was on her side, and if it was a dead end, she believed there would be no such reminder to them.
"Miss Huo, let me go with you, I am strong."
Gu Yi was like a sunflower to Huo Manshu. He was worried about following Huo Manshu no matter what he did.
"This has nothing to do with being strong. Just protect them, Gu Yi."
Huo Manshu doesn't need anyone to follow her.
And she can guarantee her own life, but she cannot guarantee the lives of others.
She also doesn't want to be so irresponsible and keep dragging others into being cannon fodder.
Huo Manshu clearly refused. Although Gu Yi was a little disappointed, he still nodded obediently, "Miss Huo, I will protect them."
Huo Manshu felt relieved about Gu Yi. Before leaving, to avoid any accidents later, Huo Manshu still told him: "If anything unexpected happens, you should go back to your room. In this villa, the room is the safest place."
After finishing speaking, Huo Manshu walked down the stairs without caring about other people's reactions.
After going down the stairs, Homanshu didn't stop and strode directly towards the basement.
Huo Manshu had some speculation about the cause of death of Xiaoya and Glasses.
This guess was related to time. Huo Manshu felt that the two people would die here purely because they spent too long waiting for Brother Xiong here.
It was like they were only given one minute to pass through the passage, but it took them two minutes. Apart from the time, death seemed to be a normal result.
Sure enough, Huo Manshu walked faster, and nothing turned into blood along the way.
Of course, Huo Manshu also felt that it might have something to do with her luck.
Arriving at the basement door, Huo Manshu opened the door, but did not rush in directly like Brother Xiong. But after opening the door, Huo Manshu understood why Brother Xiong was so impulsive and rushed in directly.
What appeared in front of Huo Manshu's eyes was nothing but piles of food.
Although the plastic packaging is very good, you can still smell the fragrance faintly.
This is a force majeure for a person who is extremely hungry.
However, Huo Manshu was not very hungry at this time, and the temptation to her was not particularly great.
After entering the door, Huo Manshu did not move rashly. She just stood in front of the door and looked at it.
But maybe Huo Manshu stood looking for too long, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of her without warning. The whole person was shrouded in shadow, and even his appearance could not be seen.
"Little girl, there are so many delicious foods? Why just look at them?"
"Can't you see it?"
Huo Manshu asked indifferently, not showing any curiosity about the person in front of her.
"It's not that you can't see it. Maybe you don't know that there is going to be a famine in this town of Desire. If you have the food here, you can avoid the famine."
The figure was still persuading, but Huo Manshu was unmoved. She glanced around, suddenly raised her finger and pointed to a corner and said, "Is that you?"
There was a withered corpse in the corner that Huo Manshu pointed at, but the body was shrouded in shadow and could hardly be seen. If his arms were not exposed from the shadow, Huo Manshu might not have noticed it for a moment.
The figure followed Homanshu's line of sight and looked over, suddenly startled, and then yelled crazily: "That's not me, that's not me!"
"I'm obviously still alive and well, how could I die?"
The figure seemed unaware of the fact that he was dead.
"Why do you say that was me?"
Although the figure had no expression, you could tell just by listening to the voice that he was angry, and there seemed to be a hint of threat.
"If you don't believe it, just go and have a look."
With an indifferent expression on her face, Huo Manshu raised her finger and pointed at the corpse: "Would you understand if you go over and take a look?"
In fact, Huo Manshu didn't think of this at first, because the world report just now gave her inspiration.
Brother Xiong has violated the deceased, which proves that there must be a deceased person here. This sudden appearance of a figure is absolutely abnormal, if not other things.
"Shall I go and take a look?"
Huo Manshu's words seemed to have magic power. The figure kept chanting and actually slowly walked towards the corpse in the shadow.
Miraculously, when the figure approached the corpse, it was suddenly sucked into the corpse as if it was being sucked.
And the room changed as a result.
The full amount of food disappeared, and another door appeared instead.
But Huo Manshu felt bad looking at that door, so she turned around and wanted to leave first before discussing.
But as soon as Homanshu turned around, a selection panel appeared in front of her.
[Congratulations to the game player Huo Manshu for receiving the invitation from the Demon King Mammon, please choose to accept or reject]
However, although this sentence is written like this, the only option below is to accept it.
Huo Manshu didn't know how she came across Mammon's invitation, and she felt a rare resistance in her heart.
Huo Manshu is not a person who likes challenges. This kind of challenge is not to her liking at all.
But she wouldn't let her go unless she chose. Huo Manshu shook her head. She was already so pressing, and it seemed that she could only go and see him.
So she readily accepted and reached out to open the door. Huo Manshu turned around and walked in.
Compared with the poverty in the basement, the room that Homanshu entered was simply magnificent and luxurious to the extreme.
Everything is golden, like arriving in a golden palace.
And in the center of this golden palace, a luxurious big bed was placed there carelessly, with a confused man lying sideways on it and dozing off. It looked exactly like the courier Mammon.
"Is something wrong? If you have something, just say it. If not, I'll leave."
Different from the awe of ordinary people, Huo Manshu said what she said directly. She could turn around and leave immediately without Mammon opening his eyes.
This is not considered a unilateral breach of contract on her part.
"You have a straightforward temperament, and I don't think I'm interested in you."
The Great Demon King of Mammon opened his eyes, slowly sat up straight, and began to speak to himself: "I have been busy with business recently, and things in Desire Town are always not improving. Everyone's desire to spend money is not very high, and I don't have much desire to spend money. I don’t have the energy to keep an eye on you, but I am very optimistic about you. You are capable and know how to enjoy yourself, especially my appetite.”
After complaining about the hard work, the Great Demon King of Mammon suddenly made an offer to Huo Manshu, "How about being my assistant? Help me take charge of Desire Town and create more wealth for me."
Huo Manshu blinked, did this give her a job?
Huo Manshu shook her head firmly and answered absolutely: "I am rich and don't want to be restricted."
"Although you are a demon king, I will never compromise on what I don't want to do."
The Demon King didn't seem to expect that he would be rejected, thinking that he didn't speak clearly enough: "You will have control of the entire Desire Town, and no one can control you."
"I'm afraid of trouble."
Huo Manshu never speaks vaguely, and she refuses clearly when she refuses: "I like to enjoy, but I don't like trouble. Letting me control Desire Town will cause me trouble. I don't like it very, very much."
Huo Manshu asked calmly: "You are not forcing me, are you?"
The big devil spread his hands and seemed a little helpless: "Normally, I won't open the back door for people to ask me for help, but I didn't expect you to reject me."
"Forget it, it seems I still have to worry about it myself."
There is no trigger condition for the big devil to die if he refuses.
Even if Huo Manshu rejected the big devil's conditions, she was still living well.
"I've already invited you over, so just pick something and go back. I'm not a stingy person. People who love money and enjoy themselves are friends."
The big devil lazily pointed at the things in the palace: "Pick it."
The big devil has already spoken, and Huo Manshu will not be polite.
It really felt like I was at home picking it up.
However, most of the things that Homanshu picked were food, such as gold, which were directly blocked by Homanshu.
"Don't you like gold? Human beings love it so much."
The big devil looked at what Huo Manshu was holding, and he felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel.
"I said, I have a lot of money."
Huo Manshu was particularly heroic: "Money has become a burden to me. What should I do with so much burden?"
"Desire Town is short of fruit. Fruit is what I want most right now."
The big devil clapped his hands and said with admiration on his face: "I am really more and more satisfied with you. You can definitely become a good helper for me. I really don't want to let you go."
