Chapter 176: Restaurant Horror

Views:

The Taoist priest caught a piece of thigh in his hand. When he looked over, he was so scared that he even forgot to throw it away.

At this moment, Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang left the pool together and quickly changed their clothes in the living room.

After they left, the old Taoist came to his senses, and hurriedly threw away his thigh and ran out of the hot spring pool. He wanted to put on his clothes, but when he saw the boss and Xu Qinglang opened the door and prepared to go out, he simply took a bathrobe and wrapped it around himself, and followed them out of the hotel.

After all, the old Taoist is not Xu Qinglang, and he doesn’t have the courage to stay in a haunted house alone.

The layout of this holiday villa is very large, similar to a villa area, and the green belts inside are also very well designed. Generally speaking, after completing the check-in procedures at the front desk, there will be a receptionist who is responsible for driving an electric sightseeing car to take the guests to the villa of their choice. If you want to dine or go out, you can also call the front desk to make an appointment for a pick-up.

"Is it going to rain today?" The old Taoist raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if a thunderstorm was about to come.

Zhou Ze did not answer and continued walking forward. Xu Qinglang followed behind Zhou Ze with a serious look on his face.

They had experienced what happened in Sanxiang Village, so they were not unfamiliar with this kind of situation. However, the old Taoist priest, because he was indeed very resilient, had not been able to enter Sanxiang Village last time, and now he had not fully reacted to what was happening.

After walking for about five minutes, you will reach the reception building. The restaurant is on the left side of the first floor of the building, which serves three meals a day.

When Zhou Ze and the other two walked into the building, they found that many people wearing bathrobes like the old Taoist walked in from outside and went straight into the restaurant to eat.

"Oh, it seems that this is how rich people enjoy themselves. It's more tasteful to eat in a bathrobe."

The old Taoist was a little shy at first, but now that he sees that everyone is doing this, he relaxes.

Zhou Ze first walked towards the reception desk and found that all the staff there were gone. Except for the restaurant, the rest of the place was empty, without a single person in sight.

In the end, Zhou Ze had no choice but to enter the restaurant.

"Hello, sir. Please show us your room card." There are waiters in uniform here.

Xu Qinglang handed over the room card. The other party swiped it, verified the room type and the number of people that could dine, and nodded.

“Enjoy your meal.”

Then, the three of them walked inside.

There were quite a few people inside, and it was a buffet. Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang found a place to sit down.

"Boss, how about I go get something to satisfy our hunger first?" suggested the old Taoist.

Zhou Ze looked at the old Taoist, then pointed at someone next to him.

The old Taoist looked in that direction and saw a pretty young lady sitting there eating. She was pretty.

The beautiful girl picked up the milk in front of her, took a sip, and then with a "plop" sound, her eyeballs actually fell down and hit the milk cup directly.

The old Taoist also swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

Then, the little beauty reached out and stirred the milk in the cup, finally took the eyeball out, and put it back into her eye socket.

The old Taoist swallowed twice in succession.

"Still eating?" Zhou Ze asked.

The old Taoist immediately shook his head and sat down obediently next to Zhou Ze.

I'm touched.

I am really moved.

This was the first time the boss didn’t deliberately cheat me and he even specifically told me that the food here was not edible!

Perhaps because he was used to being "tease" all the time, the old Taoist was even more grateful to Zhou Ze at this moment. He had suffered too many such losses in the past.

Including the last time he ate steamed buns, which nearly cost him his life, but it seems the boss can’t be blamed for that incident.

"Is there a big ghost here?" Xu Qinglang asked in a low voice.

Zhou Ze shook his head. He didn't know. The last incident in Sanxiang Village was caused by the influence of the bronze ring. Now the bronze ring is still on him. Usually when he is in the bookstore, he gives it to Bai Yingying for safekeeping in the bedroom. He will definitely carry it with him when he goes out, just in case he needs it someday. It's purely a matter of luck.

As for the Yin-Yang Book, Zhou Ze couldn't possibly carry it with him. What if he happened to meet a little kid and it shook a few times, should he save him or not

"Just watch first."

Zhou Ze reached out and touched his face gently, which was covered with a layer of sweat.

"The air humidity here is exaggerated." Zhou Ze said.

Xu Qinglang nodded, "I feel the same way, as if I'm still soaking in a hot spring."

The old Taoist could only listen and look around. He saw the young man at the opposite table was eating noodles while biting his fingers, eating them with relish as if they were garlic.

He saw the chef who was cooking over there put his arm into the rice noodles to stir them, and he would scoop them out directly with his hands when they were out of the pot. He was not afraid even though his arm was boiled red.

Oh my god,

The old Taoist didn't dare to look anymore and lowered his head.

Silently thinking.

He was not panicked or scared, because his boss was right beside him, so he had someone tall enough to hold up the sky if it collapsed.

In fact, since ancient times, places with many ghosts often mean two possible situations.

One is that there are big ghosts there, similar to the King of Ghosts, and naturally there will be some mountain spirits, wild monsters and lonely ghosts under his command, such as the former Mrs. Bai and the Black Mountain Demon in "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Another possibility is that there is a special magical instrument affecting this place. For example, the three villages last time existed because of the influence of that bronze ring.

If it was only the influence of magic weapons, then the problem would be smaller. After all, magic weapons have no likes or dislikes, and no wisdom. But if this General Mountain is the execution ground of some ghost king, then the problem would be big.

Zhou Ze was not afraid of angering the Ghost King, but he did not want to add too much trouble.

He came here simply because of the "ghost call". He just wanted to complete his original plan. Of course, it would be the best thing if he could take away all the ghosts here. Boss Zhou, who had just been promoted to a regular employee, now has pitiful performance.

"The family of three is here." Zhou Ze said.

At the entrance, the family of three came over and sat down at the table next to Zhou Ze and others. The daughter sat in the seat while the father and mother went to get food.

Then,

Mom and Dad brought a lot of food.

The family of three sat on the chairs, staring straight at the food on the table, without moving.

Without heads, they naturally cannot eat.

"Is it them?" Zhou Ze looked at Xu Qinglang.

"Yes, it's them." Xu Qinglang nodded in confirmation.

Zhou Ze understood, stood up, walked over and sat down in the empty seat next to his father.

"Can you speak?" Zhou Ze asked.

The family of three remained silent.

"I'm here to help you. You can tell me who killed you. You want to find your own head, right? I can help you."

Zhou Ze explained.

The family of three remained silent.

Zhou Ze pointed at the little girl.

"She was so young, her life had just begun, and she was murdered. As a parent, aren't you angry?"

At this time,

The wife raised her arm, placed her fingers in the soup in front of her, dipped them in the soup, and began to write on the table.

Zhou Ze looked carefully.

Then his face changed.

It's not because women wrote something shocking.

It was because the woman seemed unaware that she had a piece of green vegetable between her fingers. She wrote a word and the green vegetable leaf was sweeping back and forth on it.

Zhou Ze couldn't understand what was written on this at all!

But the woman was still writing seriously. She wanted to avenge her daughter, but the more seriously she wrote, the more upset Zhou Ze became. He couldn't understand it.

"The words are blurred, take away the vegetable leaves on top." Zhou Ze reminded.

Just then,

Several waiters at the front counter shouted, "The meal is over!"

“Hua La La…”

All the people who were dining stood up together, even Zhou Ze and Lao Dao stood up as well. Then everyone in the restaurant, including the chefs and waiters, began to line up to walk out. Everything was in perfect order, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

The family of three did the same, they stood up and walked towards the exit.

Zhou Ze reached out to grab her husband's wrist, but her husband passed right through her. Even though Zhou Ze had grown nails, she still couldn't grab them.

This time Zhou Ze got angry, the nails on all ten fingers grew out, and the black mist spread out immediately.

This is preparing to do something.

I won’t play pantomime with you anymore.

However, the nails that had been invincible against the soul body before seemed to have lost all use at this moment. The people around them continued to do their own things, with no impact at all.

Zhou Ze frowned slightly.

them,

Not a ghost

If it’s not a ghost or a soul, then what is it

Soon, everyone in the restaurant left, leaving only Taoist Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang.

"Boss, what happened just now?" The old Taoist stepped forward and asked. He saw the boss posing and thought he was going to overturn the table, but who would have thought that it would be just a lot of noise but little action

"These guys are not ghosts." Zhou Ze said confidently.

"If it's not the soul of the dead, then what is it?" The old Taoist was confused.

"It could be a similar magnetic field. There may be some mineral deposits in Jiangjun Mountain, which caused the magnetic field here to change, just like lightning will record some images from long ago." Xu Qinglang guessed, "There are ghosts everywhere, but it is obviously impossible for there to be so many here. And this supernatural phenomenon has recorded all the traces of ghosts' actions over the years, so it gives us the illusion that there are many ghosts here?"

Just then, Zhou Ze's cell phone rang. Zhou Ze answered the call, it was still the unknown number.

This time, the voice on the other end of the phone became extremely clear:

“Save me… Save me… I’m at Jiangjun Mountain… Save me… Save me…”

"We are also at Jiangjun Mountain, where the hell are you!" the old Taoist shouted directly into the phone.

“They are coming… They are coming… They are coming… Ah…”

There were screams coming from the phone.

Then there was a noise.

Another confusing ghost call, with no information of any value at all.

However, when Zhou Ze was about to hang up the phone,

Suddenly, another voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Amitabha!"

"It's the bald donkey!" the old Taoist said excitedly, "Bald donkey, there is a bald donkey causing trouble here! I finally discovered the truth!"

Zhou Ze frowned and looked at Xu Qinglang. Zhou Ze asked, "Does that voice just now sound familiar to you?"

Xu Qinglang also nodded, "Yes, it sounds familiar."

Next,

The second sentence came from the phone:

"Amitabha, I finally found you, hehehe!"
