Of course Su Qingxing 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 Death God, he almost feels that he really has such a fiancée up.
It's a pity that Su Qingxing doesn't have such an excellent fiancée, but only a fiancé whom he doesn't really want to admit.
"His Highness Death doesn't need to eat, right?" After Su Qingxing hung up the phone, he looked down at the little milk dog... the fiancé he didn't want to admit, "Trialists are always rude, maybe they will disturb His Highness Death."
"It's not too late to come back to sleep." The little milk dog got up staggeringly, and walked towards the door, "Human souls also have interesting times, such as the white hair, you should also be curious about the origin of that ability Bar?"
"Indeed."
Su Qingxing did not deny it, because the things Bai Mao said before were indeed things that Su Qingxing had never encountered before.
There are indeed some human beings who have hidden special abilities. For example, Huang Mao met in the villa before. Although he could not see it when he was alive, he suddenly possessed abilities similar to psychics and premonitions before he died, which made Huang Mao enter the world. After the trial of the underworld, some abnormal states appeared.
Now, the yellow-haired man named Huang Lan has become the first white mouse.
As for Chu Bai's body, Bai Chu, in fact, there should be some unknown ability hidden in his body, but this ability has no chance to be revealed until Bai Chu goes to hell. The reason for this conclusion is because Chubai firmly believes that he will have blood that can exorcise evil spirits, and it is because of the influence of the ontology.
But in the final analysis, compared with Huangmao and Chubai's abilities that tend to be auxiliary, Baimao's ability to manipulate ice is more direct and aggressive. This kind of aggressive ability is not uncommon in the underworld, but it is almost nonexistent for humans.
And Baimao's ability seems to be very incomplete.
If what Baimao 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 his death.
After all, for the current Baimao, he has changed from a human to a ghost, and he has no vitality to consume. This, on the contrary, allows Baimao to use his superpowers without any scruples.
Combined with the cases of Huangmao and Chubai, Su Qingxing suddenly discovered that the bearer of this "superpower" is stronger after death than when he was alive!
"I hope it's just a special case." Su Qing murmured softly when she walked to the door.
Just when he was about to open the door, Su Qingxing heard whispering voices from outside. Although the speaker had tried his best to lower his voice, Su Qingxing could clearly hear the conversation coming from outside the door.
"Boss, that kid is really a fool, he has a fool, and he went out with the ghost and he was safe." Curly's voice came first.
"I think it's a good thing." Then came the voice of the man with glasses, "Maybe it's because he has no fear, maybe it's because he treats all ghosts as ordinary people, so he saved himself from danger time and time again. "
"Then just let him continue to misunderstand like this." A relatively calm female voice came from the senior who claimed to be the eldest sister, "If he knows the truth, maybe he will really become a fool. On the contrary Yes, if he hasn't discovered the truth all this time, maybe he can really leave here alive, and we can also use his words and deeds to discover the ghosts hidden around."
"Then do it this way." Bai Mao finally said his decision, "Next time Xiao Jiu treats ghosts as people again, we can't make a fuss."
"Don't make a fuss? Then what else can we do, can we act together with him?" The short-haired girl's voice sounded somewhat unpleasant.
"That's a good idea." Curly suddenly became excited, "If we act together, it's like playing with those ghosts, isn't it? Every time we are chased by ghosts, try the other way around this time Seems like fun too."
"Okay, let's do that."
The senior people outside the door seemed to have reached an agreement, but Su Qingxing was a little surprised.
Originally, Su Qing's guild pretended to be an atheist, just hoping that the seniors would ignore his dead-headedness, but he didn't expect that these guys wanted to act with him
"It seems that you have to keep acting." Death's voice came from beside my ear.
"It's not difficult." After Su Qingxing said softly, he turned the doorknob, opened the door and walked out.
The seven seniors had already gathered in the corridor, and the gloomy twins fourth and fifth who were in charge of the newcomers were in charge of calling the two newcomers out.
"Did everyone receive that weird call?" After everyone arrived, Bai Mao began to lead everyone to the direction of the elevator, "We all know that this hotel is full of that kind of thing, so Everyone is not allowed to disperse, and must act in unison and act collectively."
Su Qingxing hugged the little milk dog and walked at the end with the other two newcomers.
One of the two newcomers was a girl with a ponytail in sportswear, and the other was a man with a particularly thin body, whose face was like a dead branch. Because the two newcomers didn't have much communication with Su Qingxing, Su Qingxing didn't know them very well.
"What's going on here?" The ponytail girl, the newcomer code-named Xiaoba, suddenly whispered to Su Qingxing, "Do you know something? Is this some TV station's trick program? Your behavior is so Strange, it should also 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 those seven people who claim to be seniors are all from the TV station."
"My kid's thinking is too simple." The skinny man walking aside shook his head, "I bet there are many unexplainable things in this world."
"It's really uncomfortable." The skinny man yawned suddenly, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, "How long are we going to stay in this crappy place?"
Su Qingxing found that the skinny man was in a very bad condition. Not only was he always yawning and crying, but he was also sweating coldly on his forehead, and his walking steps were always shaky, as if he was seriously ill.
"Uncle." Xiao Ba, who was walking beside him, asked with a serious expression, "You can't be... a drug addict, right?"
"..." The skinny man didn't speak again this time, but continued to walk forward in silence.
"I have been a volunteer in that area, uncle, you seem to be a typical example." Xiao Ba showed a slightly contemptuous expression, "It seems that you don't want to be rich, uncle, the money at home is really enough for you ?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" The skinny 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 skinny man seemed to feel very cold, with his upper body huddled together shivering.
Several times, the man bumped into the wall of the corridor because of his unsteady footsteps, but under the silent gaze of the fourth and fifth children, he tried his best to stand up straight again and continued to follow the large group.
Su Qingxing believed a little bit what Xiaoba said. Although everyone's pain would disappear after entering the underworld trial, some addictions that cannot be quit would not disappear, but would always exist in the person's soul.
A group of people walked to the elevator door after a while, and then the elevator door opened without warning.
The female ghost in red was still standing at the corner of the elevator, and raised her head to look at Su Qingxing.
"Thank you, big sister. We are going to eat at 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 veterans who had already entered the elevator looked at each other, because this time they still did not see the female ghost in red, and Su Qingxing was the only one who saw the ghost.
But because everyone had discussed this matter before departure, Bai Mao took the lead in looking in the same direction as Su Qingxing, nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, big sister."
"Big sister, you've worked hard!" Everyone bowed their heads and shouted, as if some black organization was greeting their big sister.
"Big sister, you've worked hard." The two newcomers didn't know what happened, because they saw that other people had greeted each other, 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.
"Eldest sister?" Su Qingxing asked again.
The female ghost came back to her senses, pressed the button on the first floor, and gave Su Qingxing a weird look.
In the eyes of other trainees, Su Qingxing is not afraid because he regards every ghost he sees as a human being, while other trainees are not afraid because he has never seen the figure of the female ghost in red. The sense of fear will also drop a little.
But when everyone left the elevator and walked into the large restaurant on the first floor, even if they didn't see a ghost, the feeling of fear and tension was still felt...
After all, before this, the hotel lobby, corridors on the fourth floor, and even everyone's room that the testers saw were very luxurious. Even if ghosts appeared from time to time along the way, their attention would be distracted.
But the restaurant that appeared in front of them now was—
A ruin.
The heavy restaurant door opened automatically, and the decaying atmosphere was accompanied by disturbing dust. In front of everyone, it was a deserted restaurant flooded with dust and cobwebs. The air was so turbid that people didn't want to go in.
"What's the matter with you?" Su Qingxing and the little milk dog walked to the front when everyone stopped. Although the restaurant was still covered with dust, the air had started to flow when the door was opened just now, and Su Qingxing held his breath carefully. Su Qingxing, who was faithful to the character setting, was the first to walk in holding the little milk dog.
"Xiao Jiu, don't you think this restaurant is a bit strange?" Curly raised his forehead with a headache, "I didn't expect that you not only have a problem with 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."
"Ah!"
Not long after Su Qingxing entered the restaurant, an inexplicable gust of wind suddenly blew up in the hall outside that didn't even have windows, and "pushed" all the practitioners who were blocking the door and were unwilling to enter. Enter the restaurant door!
And the heavy restaurant door also started to move with a "creak", as if it would close behind the testers in the next second.
"Oops!" Baimao wanted to stretch out his hand against the door the moment he realized it. Thick frost covered Baimao's arm, making him indeed hold against the door that was about to close within a few seconds.
But another gust of evil wind blew, and directly blew towards Baimao's face from the crack of the door that was about to close!
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 such a small pause that made the door close with a "bang" in front of Baimao, and everyone was overwhelmed by the darkness and unknown in the restaurant.
"Snapped!"
Before everyone could react from the sudden change, the lights in the restaurant suddenly turned on after flickering for a few times, and Su Qingxing was standing at the switch next to the gate, holding the hand on the switch.
Everyone immediately looked around and found that the restaurant was even more dilapidated than they had imagined.
Although it can be seen that this place used to be a very lively place, 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 former 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 table legs and chair legs, which seems to be the scene of the scene. 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 have stopped there motionless.
"Look there." The short-haired girl found a conspicuous place in the restaurant, "It's even dirtier there."
At the place pointed by the short-haired girl, several tables were pieced together into a large table that could seat more than a dozen people. There were also many different styles of dinner plates on it, and there seemed to be something in the dinner plates.
If it weren't for all the dust and cobwebs in front of you, and what looked like a cake in the middle of the table was completely rotten, maybe someone would think there was some kind of birthday party here.
"Xiao Jiu, do you still think this restaurant is normal?" Curly pointed to the ingredients on the table that had been stored for an unknown number of years, "You should also see it, right?"
"It's really not normal." Su Qing walked to those patchwork tables and frowned, "Didn't you say that you can already eat? Why is there nothing on the table?"
"..."
"Yeah, there's nothing there." Bai Mao walked over while looking around, "After all, it's just an empty restaurant."
"Yes, there is nothing." The other seniors also nodded repeatedly. Compared to the elevator with the female ghost and the fourth floor with the sound of pain, there is indeed nothing in this restaurant, at least not even Su Qingxing and anyone who cannot see. ghosts say hello.
"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 long hair rolled up and a serious expression, he looked a bit like a high school dean.
"I am the manager of this hotel, and my surname is Hao." The woman... no, it should be the female ghost approaching the testers step by step, and finally walked to the side of the long splicing table, standing face to face with Su Qingxing and the others.
"Hello, Manager Hao." Su Qingxing greeted with a smile, "Is the food about to be served?"
This time, everyone saw this female ghost who didn't look like a ghost. The expression on her face was ordinary, she was not wearing a red or white skirt, and she didn't have any blood stains on her body. She looked completely different. Like a dead person.
"I'm very sorry." The female ghost who claimed to be the manager bent over, "Because the hotel's ingredients are in short supply, we are temporarily unable to provide dining services for everyone. We are also working hard to find a solution to the problem."
Are there any 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 there will be enough ingredients for tonight."
a guest
Ingredients for tonight
"Do you want us to choose someone to serve you as food?" Bai Mao's hands were already covered with frost, "Then if we don't want to eat dinner, can we leave?"
"Sorry." Manager Hao bent down again, "Many distinguished guests have come to the restaurant today. Even if you give up dinner, our restaurant still lacks ingredients."
"However, please rest assured that the chefs of our hotel are very good at cooking. They will not disappoint the ingredients you have selected. They will definitely use the ingredients to make the most satisfying food. You can taste it with your heart. "
With that said, Manager Hao pointed to the long table in front of him, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry for now, all guests just need to make a decision before the clock strikes six o'clock. So here Before, the guests can sit here and think about it."
"Who would want to eat food made from human flesh!" The curly hair trembled, as if goosebumps appeared all over his body.
"What honorable guest, can a ghost open his eyes and talk nonsense? Come on, besides you, there are not even half a ghost here!" I can handle you!"
"Ho ho ho ho..." A distorted smile suddenly appeared on Manager Hao's indifferent face, "I will come back at six o'clock, everyone remember to think carefully before that."
"Hey—"
After Manager Hao finished speaking, the lights in the restaurant suddenly turned off.
When Su Qingxing stood in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, he suddenly felt a change in the air around him.
Before this, the air in this restaurant was full of decay and choking smell. But when the surroundings turned dark, Su Qingxing was sure that he smelled a sweet and greasy aroma, like the smell produced by many cakes and desserts piled up together.
"Hey—"
After the lights are turned on again, the restaurant has a new look in everyone's eyes!
There was no dust, no cobwebs, and the tables were neatly arranged. The desktop and the ground became clean, and they could even see their own reflections on the tiles on the ground!
A variety of delicious desserts and cakes appeared on the table that was originally full of dust and decaying ingredients. Just looking at it like this can make people feel the delicate cream and silky chocolate taste.
Even the broken wall clock on the wall has returned to its intact state at this moment, and the pendulum swings slightly 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. Every "person" of them sat upright at the table, and then stared at the direction of the testers.
"Is this magic?" Su Qingxing exclaimed, "It's really amazing!"
"Look over there!" After seeing a certain figure, the eldest sister urged others to look at a certain table in the restaurant in a low voice.
Then, Su Qingxing saw a familiar woman in red sitting there with her head bowed. It was the ghost in red that they had seen in the elevator and outside the elevator.
"It turned out to be that kind elder sister." Su Qingxing said, pointing to another table, "The old man who fell before is also here."
If it is said that the female ghost in red and the ghosts in the hallway are here, doesn't that mean... the people sitting here in this restaurant... are all ghosts
"Are we really going to choose one person as an ingredient?" The glasses man frowned, "This choice is too inhuman."
"Those are ghosts, not people!" Bai Mao said, turning to look at the restaurant door, "You all follow behind me, I will find a way to force my way out!"
As soon as the words fell, Bai Mao's whole body began to be shrouded in cold air, and the places his feet stepped on began to freeze!
"As expected of the boss!" The short-haired girl looked at Baimao with admiration and admiration, "No matter what the hell, it's not our boss's opponent!"
But at this time, a change happened...
The restaurant, whose temperature dropped due to the white hair, suddenly started to heat up rapidly! Everyone, including Su Qingxing, felt the suffocation brought by the high temperature. The lights on the ceiling of the restaurant were like small suns hanging above their heads, making the testers feel as if their skin was being burned .
And the cold air 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 knowing expression.
If he remembered correctly, all the ghosts in this hotel died in the fire.
That raging fire enough to burn everything!
"Sorry." Seeing his "super power" fail in the high temperature, Baimao's voice became dry, "We may... really need to choose an ingredient here."
