Chapter 20: The gluttonous ghost makes some sense!
Seeing Qin Nuo's stubbornness, Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "About a week ago, this thief started coming here, and every time it only steals the expensive stuff to eat!"
"So far, the goods that ghost has eaten are worth over 8000 Ghost Currency. If this continues, it won't be long before this store has to close."
Although Chen Yuan said this, there was no sign of pessimism on his face. He only had two days left to finish this level. Once he exits and claims his reward, whether the Specter Supermarket closes or not won't matter to him.
"Can't the Boss and Boss Lady catch it?" Qin Nuo asked, as the couple didn't seem like weak ghosts.
"The thief isn't very aggressive, but it's quite tricky."
"Every time the Boss and Boss Lady are about to catch it, they suddenly act like they're possessed, let the thief go, and then walk back to the counter in a daze. After a while, they snap out of it."
"This thief probably has some ability that can mess with ghosts' minds."
"Also, it seems like it's injured, and its appetite has been growing these past few days!"
"Once it's done eating, it hides in some corner of the supermarket, and when it gets hungry, it comes out to steal again," Chen Yuan explained.
