Chapter 63: Specter Restaurant (Second Update)
Su Qingxing certainly doesn't have a fiancée, but sometimes it's not a bad thing to have a fictitious fiancée, especially when Su Qingxing uses this as an excuse to reject Baimao and Flickering Death, he almost feels I really have such a fiancée.
It's a pity that Su Qingxing doesn't have such a good fiancée, only a betrothed who doesn't want to admit much.
"Your Highness the God of Death shouldn't need to eat, right?" After Su Qingxing hung up the phone, he looked down at the little milk dog... the engagement person he didn't want to admit, "Trial people are always rude, Maybe it will disturb His Highness Death."
Are you curious about the origin of that ability?"
"Indeed."
Su Qingxing did not deny it, because what Bai Mao said before was indeed something Su Qingxing had never encountered before.
The same ability makes Huangmao show some abnormal state after entering the underworld trial.
Now, the yellow-haired yellow-haired mouse has become a white mouse.
The body of Bai Chubai, Bai Chu, in fact, there should be some unknown ability hidden in the body, but until Bai Chu goes to hell, this ability has no chance to be revealed. The reason for this conclusion is that Chubai firmly believes that he will have blood that can exorcise evil spirits, because he is influenced by his body.
But in the end, Baimao's ability to manipulate ice is more direct and more aggressive than Huangmao and Chubai's abilities that tend to be supportive. Such aggressive abilities are not uncommon in the underworld, but are almost non-existent in humans.
And Whitehair's abilities seem very incomplete.
If what Bai Mao said is true, then every time he uses his ability, his vitality will be consumed, and this sequelae will not stop until he enters the underworld after death.
After all, for the current Bai Mao, he has changed from a human to a ghost, and he has no vitality to consume. This, in turn, allows White Hair to use his superpowers without hesitation.
Combining the cases of Huangmao and Chubai, Su Qingxing suddenly discovered that the carrier of this "superpower" is stronger after death than when alive!
"Hope is just a special case." Su Qing murmured softly when he walked to the door.
Just as she was about to open the door, Su Qingxing heard whispering voices from outside. Although the speaker had tried hard to keep his voice down, Su Qingxing could still clearly hear the conversation coming from outside the door.
"Boss, that kid is really stupid and has a lot of luck. He can go out with the ghost and be safe." The voice of the curly hair came first.
"I think this is a good thing." Then the voice of the uncle with glasses, "Maybe it's because he has no fear, maybe it's because he treats all ghosts as ordinary people, so it is time and again to turn danger into safety.”
"Then just let him misunderstand like this." A relatively calm female voice came from the senior who claimed to be eldest sister, "If he knows the truth, maybe it is true It will become a drag bottle. On the contrary, if he has never discovered the truth, he may really be able to leave here alive, and we can also discover the ghosts hidden around him through his words and deeds.”
"Then do it like this." Bai Mao finally said his decision, "Next time Xiaojiu treats ghosts as human beings, we can't make a fuss."
"It's a good idea." Curly hair suddenly became excited, "If we acted together, it would be like playing with those ghosts, right? Every time we are chased by ghosts Play, it seems to be quite interesting to try it in reverse this time."
"Yes, just do it."
The seniors outside the door seem to have reached an agreement, but Su Qingxing is a little surprised.
Originally, the Su Qing Guild pretended to be an atheist, just hoping that the seniors would ignore his dead brains, but did not expect that these guys would actually want to act with him?
"It seems that you have to keep playing." The voice of death came from his ear.
"It's not difficult." After Su Qingxing said softly, he twisted the doorknob, opened the door and walked out.
Seven seniors have gathered in the corridor, and the gloomy twins, the fourth and fifth, who are in charge of the newcomers, are in charge of calling the two newcomers out.
"Everyone got that weird phone call, right?" After everyone arrived, Bai Mao began to lead everyone to the direction of the elevator, "We all know this hotel It’s full of that stuff, so everyone can’t be separated, they have to act together, act collectively.”
Su Qingxing held the puppy and walked at the end with the other two newcomers.
The two newcomers are a ponytail girl in sportswear, and a man with a particularly thin body, even his face is like a dead branch. Because the two newcomers didn't communicate much with Su Qingxing, Su Qingxing didn't know them very well either.
The whole person show? Your behavior is so strange, you should be from the TV station, right?"
"I'm not from the TV station, but I also think it's a prank show." Su Qingxing lowered his voice cooperatively, "I think the seven people who call themselves senior are all from the TV station."
"Children's thinking is too simple." The thin man walking aside shook his head, "I bet there are many unexplainable things in this world."
"It's really uncomfortable." The thin man yawned suddenly, and his tears flowed out uncontrollably, "How long are we going to stay in this crappy place?"
Su Qingxing found that the thin man was in a very bad state. Not only was he always yawning and crying, but he was also always sweating on his forehead, and his walking pace was always shaky, he looked like It's like being seriously ill.
"Uncle." Little Eight, who was walking beside him, asked with a dignified expression, "Aren't you... a drug addict?"
"..." The thin man didn't speak again this time, just continued to walk forward in silence.
"I have volunteered in that area, uncle, you look like a typical person." Xiaoba showed a slightly contemptuous expression, "It seems that you don't want to be rich, uncle, Is the money at home really enough for you to toss?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" The thin man immediately denied, "I just didn't sleep well last night, how could I touch that kind of thing." The temperature in the corridor was normal, but the thin man seemed to feel It was very cold, and the upper body shrank together and shivered.
There were times when the man slammed into the wall of the corridor because of his unsteady footsteps, but under the silent gaze of the fourth and fifth, he tried his best to stand up straight again and continued to follow the army go ahead.
Su Qingxing somewhat believed what Xiaoba said, although everyone's pain will disappear after entering the underworld trial, but some addictions that cannot be quit will not disappear, but will always exist in this in the human soul.
The group walked to the elevator door after a while, and then the elevator door opened without warning.
The female ghost in red was still standing in the corner of the elevator and raised her head to look at Su Qingxing.
"Big sister has worked hard, we are going to the restaurant." Su Qingxing smiled and greeted the ghost in red next to the elevator button, "It should be on the first floor, right?"
The seniors who had entered the elevator looked at each other, because this time they still didn't see the red-clothed female ghost, and only Su Qingxing saw the ghost.
But because everyone discussed this matter before departure, Bai Mao took the lead and looked in the same direction as Su Qingxing, nodded slightly and said, "Big sister has worked hard."
"Big sister has worked hard!" Everyone immediately lowered their heads and shouted, as if some black organization was greeting their big sister.
"Big sister has worked hard." The two newcomers didn't know what happened, because they saw everyone else saying hello, so they also chanted.
“…”
From Su Qingxing's point of view, the female ghost in red seemed to be completely stunned, and even forgot to press the elevator for them.
"Big sister?" Su Qingxing asked again.
The female ghost came back to her senses, pressed the button on the first floor, and glanced at Su Qingxing strangely.
In the eyes of other testers, Su Qingxing was not afraid because he regarded every ghost he saw as a human being, while other testers were not afraid because he did not see the female ghost in red at all Since he can't see the figure, his sense of fear will also decrease.
After all, before this, the hotel lobby, the corridor on the fourth floor and even everyone's room were very luxurious. Even if ghosts appeared from time to time along the way, their attention would be be spread out a bit.
But the restaurant that appeared in front of them was—
In ruins.
I don't want to keep going in.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Qingxing and the little milk dog came to the front when everyone stopped. Although the restaurant was still full of dust, the air started to flow when the door was opened just now. In addition, Su Qingxing held his breath carefully, so Su Qingxing, who was loyal to the character setting, was the first to walk in with the little milk dog.
"Xiao Jiu, don't you think this restaurant is a little strange?" Curly raised his forehead with a headache, "I didn't expect you to not only look at people, but this restaurant is different from us. "
"Is there anything strange?" Su Qingxing looked puzzled, "This restaurant is normal, but I don't know why the lights are not turned on."
"Ahhh!"
Not long after Su Qingxing entered the restaurant, an inexplicable gust of wind suddenly blew up in the hall with no windows all around, blocking the door and trying to get in. All the practitioners "pushed" into the restaurant door!
And the heavy restaurant door also "creaked" and began to move, as if it would close behind the testers in the next second.
"Oops!" Bai Mao wanted to reach out his hand to press the door the moment he reacted, and a thick layer of frost covered Bai Mao's arm, so that he did within a few seconds Resisted the door that was about to be closed.
But another gust of wind blew, and it blew directly to the white-haired face from the crack of the door that was about to be closed!
Perhaps because of the sudden situation, Bai Mao's eyes narrowed slightly in the gust of wind, and the movements of his hands also paused slightly. It was just such a small pause that the door slammed shut in front of Bai Mao, causing everyone to be overwhelmed by the darkness and unknown in the restaurant.
"Pop!"
Everyone has not yet reacted from the sudden change, the light in the restaurant suddenly turned on after a few flashes, and Su Qingxing was standing at the switch next to the door, and the hand that pressed the switch was Haven't let go yet.
Everyone immediately looked around and found that the restaurant was even more deserted than they thought.
Although it can be seen that this place used to be very lively, the left side is the bar, the right side is the stage, and there is a small open space in front, which looks like a dance floor.
In the middle of the restaurant there are many large and small tables and chairs, but now everything is covered with dust, some tables and chairs have fallen to the ground, and some are even missing The legs of the table and chairs look like a mess.
There is also a huge wall clock on the wall full of spider webs, but the pendulum of the wall clock has disappeared, and the hour and minute hands are still there.
"Look there." The short-haired girl found a prominent place in the restaurant, "It's dirtier there."
What else is there.
If it weren't for the dust and cobwebs all over the place, and if it wasn't for what looked like a cake in the middle of the table that was completely rotten, one might think there was some kind of birthday party going on here.
"Xiao Jiu, do you still think this restaurant is normal?" Curly pointed to the ingredients on the table that had been put on for many years, "You should be able to see it too, right?"
"It's really not normal." Su Qing walked to the patchwork table and frowned, "Didn't you say it's ready to eat? Why is there nothing on the table?"
“…”
"Yeah, there's nothing." Bai Mao walked over while looking around, "In the end, it's just an empty restaurant."
"Yes, there is nothing." The other seniors nodded again and again, compared to the elevator with ghosts, compared to the fourth floor with screams, there is really nothing in this restaurant, at least Even Su Qingxing didn't say hello to any invisible ghost.
"Welcome to the restaurant."
At this moment, a neat looking woman in a suit and skirt appeared in the restaurant out of thin air. With his long hair pulled up and a serious expression on his face, he looked a bit like a high school dean.
"I'm the manager of this hotel, my surname is Hao." The woman... No, it should be the female ghost who approached the testers step by step, and finally walked to the side of the spliced long table, and Su Qingxing and the others stood face to face.
"Manager Hao, hello." Su Qingxing greeted with a smile, "Are you going to serve?"
This time, everyone saw this female ghost who didn't look very much like a ghost. The expression on the other party's face was very ordinary. With some blood stains, it doesn't look like a dead person at all.
"I'm very sorry." The female ghost who claimed to be the manager bent over, "Because the hotel has a shortage of ingredients, we can't provide you with meal service for the time being, and we are also working hard to find a way to solve the problem. ."
Is there a shortage of ingredients?
"However, fortunately, there are ten guests here this time." The serious female manager raised her head, "If I can take away one guest, maybe tonight's ingredients Will suffice."
A guest?
Ingredients for tonight?
"Do you want us to choose someone to serve as food for you?" The white hair's hands were covered with frost, "Then if we don't want to eat dinner, can we leave?"
"Sorry." Manager Hao bent down again, "Today there are many distinguished guests in the restaurant. Even if you give up dinner, our restaurant still lacks ingredients."
"However, please rest assured, our hotel's chefs are very good at cooking, and they will definitely not disappoint the ingredients you choose, and will use the ingredients to make the most satisfying food for everyone. At some point, everyone can taste it.”
Speaking, Manager Hao pointed to the long table in front of him, and said with a blank face: "Don't worry for the time being, all guests just need to be before the bell rings at six o'clock. It's up to you to decide. So until then, guests can sit here and think about it."
"Who would want to eat food made from human flesh!"
"What honorable guest, can a ghost open his eyes and talk nonsense? Please, besides you, there are not even half ghosts here!" The short-haired girl couldn't help but be irritable, "You I don't believe that our boss can solve you with just a few fingers!"
"Hohohoho..." A distorted smile suddenly appeared on Manager Hao's indifferent face, "I'll come back at six o'clock, everyone remember to think about it before that."
“Buzz—”
After Manager Hao finished speaking, the lights in the restaurant suddenly turned off.
When Su Qingxing stood in the darkness where he could not see his fingers, he suddenly felt the surrounding air change.
Before this, the air of this restaurant was full of decay and choking. But when the surroundings turned dark, Su Qingxing was sure that he smelled a sweet smell, like the smell of many cakes and desserts piled together.
“Buzz—”
After the lights came on again, the restaurant looked new to everyone!
No dust, no cobwebs, the tables are neatly arranged, the table tops and the ground become clean, they can even see their own from the tiles on the ground Reflection!
A variety of delicious desserts and cakes appeared on the table originally full of dust and decadent ingredients, just looking at it, you can feel the delicate cream and the smooth taste of chocolate .
Even the broken wall clock on the wall has now returned to its intact appearance, and the pendulum swings gently with the passage of time.
"Five thirty?" Bai Mao said to himself, "Is there only half an hour left?"
At the same time, a lot of people suddenly appeared in the restaurant that was empty except for them, and each of them "people" sat upright at the table, and then stared at The direction where the testers are located.
"Is this magic?" Su Qingxing exclaimed, "It's really amazing!"
"Look there!" After seeing a certain figure, the eldest sister whispered to urge others to look at a table in the restaurant.
Then, Su Qingxing saw a familiar red-clothed woman sitting there with her head bowed. It was the red-clothed ghost they had seen in the elevator and outside the elevator.
"It turned out to be the kind eldest sister." Su Qingxing said, and pointed to another table, "The old man who fell down is also here."
If the ghost in red and the ghosts in the hallway are all here, doesn't that mean...the people sitting here in this restaurant...are all ghosts?
"Are we really going to choose someone to be the ingredient?" Uncle Glasses frowned, "This choice is too inhumane."
"Those are ghosts, not people!" Bai Mao said, turning to look at the door of the restaurant, "You are all behind me, I will try to get out of here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mao's whole body began to be enveloped by cold air, and the place where his feet stepped on began to freeze!
"As expected of the boss!" The short-haired girl looked at Bai Mao with admiration and admiration, "No matter what the hell, it is not our boss's opponent!"
But at this time, a mutation occurred...
The restaurant where the temperature dropped due to white hair suddenly began to heat up rapidly! Everyone, including Su Qingxing, felt the suffocation caused by the high temperature. The lights on the ceiling of the restaurant were like little suns hanging above their heads, giving the testers a feeling of burning their skin. .
The chill around Bai Mao’s body gradually disappeared under the influence of this high temperature, and even the solid ice surrounding his limbs began to melt quickly…
Su Qingxing suddenly showed a clear expression.
If he remembered correctly, all the ghosts in this hotel died in the fire.
The fire that burns everything!
"Sorry." Seeing that his "superpower" failed in the high temperature, Bai Mao's voice became dry, "We may... really need to choose an ingredient here."
