Chapter 3 Midnight Restaurant
Lying on the bed and thinking wildly, Xiwen never expected that the communicator, which had not moved for two months, suddenly rang, which seemed a little strange on this quiet night. Xiwen's first reaction was not to look at the communicator, but was stunned for a while, when he came back to his senses, he immediately picked up the communicator placed on the pillow and checked it, this look, made him gasp, the call request shown on it was the long-missing "Leo Ivan" dialed, he took a deep breath, and then pressed the screen deeply with his thumb, holding his breath and waiting for the voice on the other side, but more than ten seconds passed, except for the murmur of "rustle" on the other side, there was no response he expected.
"Leo, is that you?" asked Shiwen anxiously.
Rustle rustle......
After a moment of silence, just as Xiwen was about to speak again, the "rustling" sound suddenly became louder, and finally there was a sound that seemed to be a shout and something shattering, and the communication was terminated.
Xiwen, who didn't know why, was very anxious in his heart, communicated with his divine sense to locate it, and then drove the ring on his hand again, and after a short spell, he opened the door of the room and walked in.
For a few seconds, when the purple light around him had dissipated, Xiwen was in a toilet that he was familiar with, the same one he had been home before. There was a smell of disinfectant in the air, probably just finished cleaning. He gently pushed the door open, only to find that something was in the way of pushing halfway through, and two hard pushes were to no avail, so he had to turn sideways and walk out of the bathroom. Blocking the door was a man lying on the ground, which startled Xiwen, and he quickly squatted down to investigate the situation, and found that this person's face was flushed, but his mouth was like a mosquito crying all the time, talking "Wine, wine, wine...", probably drunk and collapsed here when he went to the toilet. Seeing that the positioning signal in the divine consciousness was getting weaker and weaker, Xiwen couldn't care so much, so he helped the person up, leaned on the side, sat up and walked out of the toilet. At the door of the toilet, there is an old man sitting on a rattan chair, probably the uncle who guards the toilet, he looked at Xiwen who suddenly appeared in surprise, in order to dispel the uncle's doubts about him, Xiwen immediately said:
"Uncle, there is a red-faced man lying in the toilet. ”
"Oh, oh, maybe it's a drunken person, there are a lot of restaurants here, I don't think I'm surprised by this kind of person. The uncle, who was successfully diverted, said, "It's okay, I'll go and see." After saying that, the uncle walked straight to the toilet with a cane.
With the help of the enthusiastic uncle, Xiwen also sped up his pace, and he wanted to hurry to the destination while the positioning signal was still there. He followed the instructions of the location, and came into a small alley, and the further he went, the more strange he felt, there was a dead silence, no sound at all, so quiet that even the sound of his own footsteps disappeared. He walked cautiously forward, and finally stopped in front of a building, although it was not the main entrance, but Xiwen could still recognize that he had been here today, the high beams and columns, the Biwa Zhuyong, this atmospheric antique-style building, wasn't it the restaurant that made him feel problematic at noon. This is supposed to be the back kitchen of the restaurant, and it is the time when the lights are on, probably processing the ingredients for the next day, but it feels strange that in the back kitchen, where all the lights are on, people do not feel any movement, not even a trace of life. Just as Xiwen was thinking about how to get in, a red light suddenly appeared on the door of the back kitchen, and then a red rune appeared on the whole door, and with a "break", the door was opened in an instant. It's just that after this shout, there was no sound around, and the dead silence returned again.
Xiwen cautiously approached the door, but it was unusually dark inside, as if it had swallowed up all the light, but strangely enough, the window next to it was still brightly lit. When I felt it inside the door, it was still hairy, but when I listened closely, I seemed to feel a trace of breath wheezing. At this time, the tracking signal, which was already about to disappear, suddenly appeared, and it was very strong. Xiwen touched the ring on the middle finger of his left hand and walked into the back kitchen of the restaurant.
In this room where he couldn't see his fingers, Xiwen was extremely careful with every step, but despite this, he had not taken a few steps before he bumped into a hard object, and a smell of decay suddenly came to his nose. And in an instant, an inevitable murderous aura struck from the front, and his intuition made him bend his upper body back in an instant, but Xiwen could still feel that several hairs on his forehead had been shaved off. He ran to the right, quickly took out a glowing stone from his pocket and threw it forward, the stone fell to the ground, and the entire dark room suddenly had a little light, with the faint light, Xiwen barely saw that the person who attacked him just now was a tall man, but before he could take a closer look, the surrounding darkness seemed to have life, devouring the light emitted by the glowstone little by little, and the person who had just attacked him also pounced in front of the glowstone, trying to crush it with his hands. The darkness returned to the surroundings again, and it didn't take long for the glowstone to be crushed with a "bang", but with the position of the glowing stone as the center, there was a light cluster with a pale yellow light that quickly spread out to the surroundings, it was the powder of the crushed glowing stone floating in the air, and the room suddenly became brighter.
Cutting boards, kitchen knives, all kinds of vegetables, meat, sure enough, this is in the back kitchen of the restaurant, but there is no chef in the kitchen at this time, or to be precise, there are only two strange-looking chefs, one is puffy, the complexion is pale, as if it has been blistered, and the lower body hangs a string of intestines leaking out of black shorts, some of which are hanging into his high black non-slip water shoes, and some of them are dragged on the ground, and the whole person is like bursting in many places, the skin and flesh are turned out, oozing yellow liquid. The other man was the opposite, with a yellow-skinned and skinny face, like a mummy unwrapped in gauze, and his left eye was turned out, and his right head was sunken in. The two objects, which looked like living people, were wearing black shorts and white overalls, as well as a pair of high, black non-slip water shoes, and no doubt they were both cooks here, at least once were, and they had multiple marks of being scratched by sharp objects and burned by fire.
Although they look like this, Xiwen unexpectedly senses the anger in them. Similarly, the two living corpses that had woken up from the light had already smelled the breath of the uninvited guest in front of them, and they rushed forward unprepared, pounced on Xiwen. At this moment, two yellow rune papers flew out of the large pile of knocked vegetables next to them, and landed on the two living corpses that jumped into the air, and as soon as the rune paper touched their skin, it immediately spontaneously combusted, and then immediately exploded on their skin, and the impact of the explosion hit them directly on the stove next to the door. Then a faint voice came from the pile of miscellaneous vegetables:
"Ahem... I can't imagine that two living corpses can be so difficult!"
Immediately afterwards, a boy in a school uniform stood up with a wooden sword. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, then turned his head to look at Xiwen. Although the light of the luminous stone fragment was not very bright, Xiwen clearly saw this weak figure, it was Leng Zimo, who he had only met this afternoon. The same surprised expression still appeared on Leng Zimo's face, and before they could sort out the doubts in their hearts, a "clanging" sound sounded, and two shadows rose into the air and attacked Xiwen again. Xiwen was about to fight back, when a white figure flew over quickly, blocking two pairs of rotten hands with the wooden sword in his hand.
"Why are you here?" Leng Zimo asked through gritted teeth.
Before Xiwen could answer, Leng Zimo took the sword with both hands and pushed it forward, and then the whole person swooped forward, and the right hand of the fat living corpse was unloaded in its entirety, and Leng Zimo, who was originally injured, also stumbled, and was scratched by another living corpse with a bloody scar on his left arm, he immediately jumped back to Xiwen's side, but it was another stumbling, Xiwen saw this, and immediately reached out to support Leng Zimo, who was about to fall backwards, and then asked anxiously:
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay, oh! This corpse poison is spreading too fast, isn't it? It's dangerous here, no matter how you get in, leave me alone, you can get out quickly!"
After saying that, Leng Zimo wanted to continue to rush up and give up his body, but his whole body was weak, and the whole person suddenly collapsed on the ground. Seeing the living corpse that pounced again, Leng Zimo was anxious, he was not worried about himself, but about the defenseless new classmate in front of him - Xiwen, he couldn't wait to fight for his life immediately, and then send Xiwen out of this kitchen.
The three rotten hands dripping with yellow water were almost to Xiwen's eyebrows, and just as Leng Zimo was about to close his eyes and accept everything in front of him, the two living corpses flew backwards at a very fast speed as if they had been hit by something. A silver light flashed, and the two living corpses that were still in mid-air were separated in an instant, and after they let out the first and only wail of the night, they ended their lives with two "bang" sounds, leaving only the horror and disbelief in their eyes.
Xiwen, who was originally holding Leng Zimo, was wiping a slender sword with a dry cloth, and he walked to the two corpses while wiping, and read:
"It is not the intention of the two of you to do evil, this filthy and ugly body has tormented and imprisoned the two of them for a long time, and now I use the sword in my hand to open this imprisonment for you. ”
After speaking, Xiwen used the tip of his sword to make a cut on each of the foreheads of the two corpses, and within a few seconds, with a strong resentment, bursts of black mist erupted from the two openings, and finally two ethereal transparent human figures were drilled.
"Go," said Xiwen, "the way home has been opened, go back to where you are to go." ”
I saw two "people" floating in the air bowed slightly, said "thank you", and then glanced at the corpse lying on the ground together, and slowly disappeared.
Leng Zimo was taken aback, the living corpses were just corpses that had been transformed not long after they died, at most they were slightly more flexible zombies, how could these two bodies have souls? This has completely broken Leng Zimo's cognition. And what surprised Leng Zimo even more was that the new classmate in front of him, who was walking towards him, looked like a gentleman and was so white!
The corpse poison has begun to spread upwards from his arm, and Leng Zimo's lips have gone through the process of turning from red to purple and then from purple to black in just a few minutes. Xiwen immediately stretched out his hand to support him and said:
"You have a death smell on you, and you need to quickly clean up the corpse poison from your body. ”
"It's okay, if I can't deal with this little poison, even if I don't attack the poison now, I will be beaten to death by my old man when I go back, can you help me find a brown bottle in the rotten vegetable pile? ”
Xiwen didn't say a word, he found it in the pile of rotten vegetables, and after a while, he found a brown bottle with a narrow mouth and a wide belly, and he quickly took it and handed it to Leng Zimo. After Leng Zimo took the bottle, he poured out two white pills from it, and then took it, when he sat cross-legged on the ground for a few weeks, he slowly opened his eyes, at this time his face returned to normal, and the black purple of his lips also faded, but the scars on his arms were still black.
"Fortunately, I took two snow ginseng pills when I went out today, I only temporarily dissolved most of the corpse poison now, and the residual toxins have to go out to get rid of them, this restaurant is too evil, let's go out quickly." Leng Zimo said as he tried to stand up.
"Okay! It's weird here, let's go. ”
Unable to care about the communicator for the time being, Xiwen immediately helped Leng Zimo and walked towards the door, when they crossed the door, the scene that appeared in front of them stunned them, outside the door, they actually saw the kitchen with two corpses lying around, surrounded by a mess, they turned around unbelievingly, and then stepped out of the door, but they still entered the kitchen. Leng Zimo thought to himself: This formation has just been found by him, and the door has been opened? Why is it closed again? Could it be that the ghost has hit the wall? Xiwen also looked at his feet with a puzzled face, and looked at Leng Zimo beside him for a while.
At this moment, an ethereal voice came from the lobby of the restaurant:
"Destroy my restaurant, kill my chef, where else do you want to go?"
The two turned their heads at the sound of the voice, and soon saw a man wearing a dark blue Tang suit with a flushed face at the door where the kitchen and the lobby meet. Xiwen recognized it at a glance, this person he had only seen not long ago, in the public toilet not far from here, and to Xiwen's surprise, the man had the communicator he was looking for hanging from his waist.
