Ji Xiunian couldn't even dream that he would come to the sea creature shop to eat Haidilao on this day.
Like the human Haidilao shop, the service here is also customer first. As soon as the two talents entered the door, a few waiters gathered together, with a high-pitched tone: "Welcome!"
The originally enthusiastic waiter first greeted Lu Xu and Ji Xiunian enthusiastically. When they looked down and saw the eight sisters on the ground, their expressions changed and then subconsciously dispersed: "Cat, it's a cat..."
A group of waiters huddled together and shivered, thinking about providing service and being very afraid of cats.
Almost all the shop assistants have a wish in their eyes, don't come over, don't come over, this cat should never come over.
However, Bamei was suddenly excited, staring at the clerk and wagging her tail, her little tongues licked her mouth tenderly, as if she saw some delicious food.
Seeing that the shop assistants had to squeeze together in order to hide from the eight sisters, Lu Xu bent down and picked up the eight sisters and nodded at them, which was a relief to brother.
Obviously they are all human beings, but Ji Xiunian inexplicably feels that these people seem to be different.
"Um... They shouldn't be humans, right?" The two of them looked for a seat by the window, ordered a soup of tomato and butter, and asked Ji Xiunian quietly while there was no one around.
Just after Ji Xiunian asked, he glanced down and saw that the waiter was walking a bit strange—people walked with his feet, and he jumped with a shell.
Wait, shell
Ji Xiunian checked it carefully, only to find that the waiter really had a shell, just like the enlarged tail of a Pippi shrimp. I didn't know it and thought it was in cosplay.
Lu Xu followed Ji Xiunian’s gaze, and got to Ji Xiunian’s face and gave an affirmative answer: “This is a Pippi Shrimp...” The talking Kung Fu Lu Xu glanced around and then gave Ji Xiu a look. Nian introduced, "That's the octopus essence, the stronger one is the shark essence..."
After hearing Lu Xu talk a lot, Ji Xiunian realized that all Haidilao employees were all seafood.
After learning that it was prawn essence that served them shrimp, Ji Xiunian felt that his worldview had been refreshed again.
Not long after the two arrived in Haidilao, there was a thunderstorm and heavy rain outside.
The thunder rumbling, the raindrops rushed, and even the mood of the people was a little impatient.
Looking at the raindrops on the windowpanes, Ji Xiunian always felt that something was brewing in the gloomy world.
It's hard to describe this feeling. It seems that there is some danger awakening in the dark, and it will fall to the world with the rain.
"Hiss~~" Ji Xiunian was in a trance, his wrist hurt suddenly. The tingling flashed past, but it was heart-wrenching, so that he couldn't help but exhale in a low voice, and his body was instantly wet with cold sweat.
"Brother Nian, what's wrong with you?" Lu Xu saw Ji Xiunian's reflection in his eyes, and saw that he was holding his wrist with his face in pain and couldn't help but get up and check it out.
It feels great to be cared for by a loved one, even if it is painful, it feels less difficult.
Not wanting Lu Xu to worry, Ji Xiunian calmed down and said with him: "It's just that I suddenly felt a pain just now. I don't know the specific reason."
Lu Xu took Ji Xiunian's wrist and checked it, and he saw that the place where the mark had originally appeared was abnormal again. Lu Xu first noticed that Ji Xiunian's wrist was when the two people met for the first time. At that time, he thought he was marked by an evil spirit for a meeting. After the imprint disappeared suddenly, Lu Xu didn't think too much. After all, even if he was there, the other party would not dare to act rashly, so it was normal to give up the goal.
But something strange happened today. Although Ji Xiunian's wrist didn't turn black, it turned red, as if he had been burned by evil thoughts. Although it will not be re-marked, but at least it proves that there is something on top of Ji Xiunian.
Ji Xiunian naturally saw the mark on his wrist. Seeing that Lu Xu looked serious, he couldn't help asking: "Is this problem serious?"
"Serious." Lu Xu first lost two words with a cold face, and then grinned at Ji Xiunian, as if to comfort him, "I mean the consequences for the person who provoke me are very serious, brother Nian, you Don't worry, no one wants to hurt you..."
Before Lu Xu finished speaking, the Grim Reaper Home app suddenly came up with a new list—
[Dear Reaper, there are new customers who are about to ascend to heaven at West Street, Dongcheng District, please go to take orders...]
West Street
Lu Xu and Ji Xiunian couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this—
They just came over from West Street and didn't expect to go back so soon.
At this time, it was raining heavily outside, and Lu Xu glanced at Bamei who was seriously eating hot pot and gently confessed: "Bamei, you eat here, we will be back soon." He also saw the courage to help Bamei cook seafood. Seafood dear, Lu Xu added very kindly, "You can't eat living things."
After finishing speaking, regardless of Bamei’s feedback, he took Ji Xiunian to the customer’s location.
Visibility was very low on rainy nights, and the entire street was soaked in heavy rain, looking muddy and wet.
A large area of urban buildings are stacked and accumulated, and the streets are full of concrete products, and there is little greenery.
The rain fell on the ground and couldn't penetrate, and quickly gathered into a stream and flowed down, and there was not a long time there was stagnant water.
Lu Xu and Ji Xiunian came to the entrance of the incident, and they smelled blood before seeing the new client.
Ji Xiunian lowered his head and saw that the water under his feet was mixed with blood stains, and the smell of rain mixed with blood became even greater. Ji Xiu-nian has been a god of death for a while, and he has seen various methods of death, but it is the first time that the scene is so bloody.
There were still women's screams in the alley, and there was no movement in a short time.
[Your customer has been ascended to heaven, please provide her with satisfactory and thoughtful service in time...]
Even without the app prompt, Ji Xiunian and Lu Xu knew that the blood-stained woman in front of them was obviously dead. She was so dumbfounded as a wooden chicken standing next to her corpse, watching the man in a black raincoat staring at her corpse with a knife and giggling.
The rain fell from the sky and landed on the woman's body, washing the blood further away.
Her eyes were open dumbly, even if the last gaze fell on her wheelbarrow, she didn't know what she was thinking when she was dying.
This is obviously a murder scene, but now the murderer is standing there for a long time with a knife, as if admiring his own work.
Ji Xiunian didn't expect it to be like this at all, and was a little dazed for a while. When I got over, I thought about catching the murderer, and then he was held back by Lu Xu: "Our client is not him..."
The god of death is responsible for leading the way for the dead, and nothing else has anything to do with them.
Ji Xiu has been familiar with these codes for a long time, but when he saw the familiar face of the new customer, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The woman who was still grilling squid for them just now is lying in a pool of blood, a lively life is fleeting, and no one can help her.
"Zhao Hongxia, female, 42 years old..."
Who could have imagined that, only in his early forties, he would have been devastated by the years and had a face in his fifties. Not long ago, the owner of this face had a simple smile, sharing with them the good news that the child was about to undergo surgery.
At that time, she thought that she had come to nothing, and she had never been kind to her when she thought about her destiny.
"I'm... dead?" Why didn't the woman arrive, and the man who came over to buy the barbecue on the front foot became the god of death who took her away on the back foot.
She looked down at the tattered rag doll herself on the ground, and then at the small cart used for business to supplement the household, only to feel that everything was so unrealistic.
Today, she is just like before, ready to go home to wash after the time is almost up, after all, she has to go to work early in the morning.
The rain came so swiftly that it did not wait for her to take two steps before it fell.
When she was pushing the car and rushing home, the young man in the black raincoat blocked her way.
As soon as Zhao Hongxia wanted to call him to let him, she heard the man suddenly whispered: "It's very tiring to live, right? It's okay, I'll help you. You won't have to work so hard soon..."
Before Zhao Hongxia understood what this person meant, he rushed forward—
At the moment the sharp knife pierced her body, Zhao Hongxia's first reaction was not to be afraid, but she was just thinking about what her husband and children would do if she was gone.
