Global Horror: With My Netherworld Trillions, Game On!

Chapter 12: The Terrifying Cook! The Frightening Dinner!

Just as Lin Yu expected, the counterattack from the Grudge Skull Necklace had indeed injured Madam Zhang.

Ghostly energy seeped from her mouth and nose, and her broom was damaged, indicating a deep injury.

This made her glare at Lin Yu with even more malice.

“A mid-grade Yin weapon… so that’s what you rely on!” Though she said this, she didn’t dare approach him for now, as the necklace’s full power was still unknown to her.

However, her gaze made it clear. Madam Zhang had already borne a grudge against Lin Yu.

If given the chance, she would certainly strike at him again!

Lin Yu and the others understood this as well.

The mature, alluring woman looked at Madam Zhang with a hint of schadenfreude, while Xiao Li looked at Lin Yu with concern.

Lin Yu remained expressionless, but he felt the pressure.

He knew his current safety was due to the large amount of ghost coins he had, which made the ghosts, including the account-keeping ghost, wary of his identity.

If he couldn’t deal with Madam Zhang, the account-keeping ghost or even the inn’s proprietress might see through his bluff.

Then he’d truly be in trouble.

“I need a way to get rid of Madam Zhang!”

But for now, Lin Yu had no clear solution.

He had just awakened his spiritual sense, lacking offensive abilities, and the Grudge Skull Necklace could only defend and counterattack.

“I’ll need to enlist other ghosts to take her down!”

But it seemed that the account-keeping ghost was evenly matched with her… would he have to hold out until new guests arrived tomorrow?

However, waiting until tomorrow might only bring more uncertainties tonight.

As Lin Yu pondered this, heavy footsteps sounded.

Thud! Thud!

A deep, drum-like sound grew closer, making everyone tense up.

A tall, dark figure appeared at the back door!

This ghost was as large as the fleshy ghost Lin Yu had seen earlier, but this one was solidly built!

His ashen skin was veined like small snakes, his muscles as hard as forged steel.

Though his face wasn’t fierce, his pitch-black eyes and grayish lips were unnerving.

He wore a black leather apron with large pockets, reeking of blood.

Around his neck was a copper ring with a broken iron chain, and in his massive hands, he held a large wooden tray with an equally large food container.

Seeing him, both the account-keeping ghost and Madam Zhang visibly changed, adopting a more respectful demeanor.

Lin Yu, Xiao Li, and the mature woman felt a powerful, invisible pressure.

“This must be the cook… stronger than the fleshy ghost from earlier!” Lin Yu quickly concluded with his spiritual insight.

This “cook” seemed to be the strongest entity in the horror game dungeon, aside from the landlady.

No wonder the only experienced player, the bearded man, had been assigned to work under him!

Behind the cook, Lin Yu also saw the bearded man.

His face was ashen, and his left arm was gone.

Now, it was clear who had died.

It was the middle-aged man and the yellow-haired thug!

And Lin Yu was about to discover the cause of their deaths.

The cook set the food container on the table, gave everyone a look, and rasped, “Dinner’s ready.”

With that, he opened the container, pulling out dish after dish of…

human limbs and organs.

Hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, hands, feet…

Finally, two grayish heads with empty eye sockets.

Although they were eyeless, everyone recognized them. They were the heads of the middle-aged man and the yellow-haired thug!

Xiao Li and the mature woman both went pale, the former stepping back in trembling terror, while the latter dry-heaved repeatedly.

The cook looked at the mature woman, “What, you don’t like my cooking?”

It seemed he was ready to twist her head off at any moment.

She hurriedly shook her head, forcing a smile.

“No… no… I love it!”

Satisfied, the cook nodded.

“Then eat up!” The cook took a seat at another table, ladling a bowl of murky liquor from a nearby jar, watching the group as if overseeing the meal.

The accountant ghost and Madam Zhang quickly sat down, picking up their bowls and chopsticks to dig in, and Xiao Li, the bearded man, and the mature woman, sensing the implication, hurriedly followed suit!

Clearly, questioning the cook’s skills or refusing to eat… would surely trigger a deadly reaction from him!

Though hesitant, survival instincts won over their revulsion, and they each picked up fingers, forcing themselves to chew.

Lin Yu alone remained standing.

No matter how Xiao Li signaled him, he wouldn’t budge!

After a moment, Lin Yu even walked toward the cook’s table himself!
