THE DATE (V)

THE man playing the mummy was startled by this smile. This was probably one of the few times that someone wasn't surprised because of his sudden appearance. The other didn't even gasp, much less flinch. Was he losing his touch? 

All of the employees involved in scaring guests were humans. Because AI robots simply didn't have the emotional capacity for such a task. That's why their income was much higher compared to other people doing menial jobs in this theme park that could easily be done by other AI robots. 

That's why every time they managed to scare off a guest, they would have an additional pay. The mummy felt a bit of a heartache. It seemed like he wouldn't get that bonus pay for today.

"Good work," Astrid said to the mummy who seemed to be frozen in shock because of his own lack of reaction.

The mummy seemed to come back to his senses. Then the other suddenly took out a parchment from somewhere and gave it to him.

"For me?" Astrid asked.
