Chapter 57: Sacrifice
"These are almost all the information I know, about the living dead, I have heard from the nearby residents, but they are all heard, it is better not to say it to affect your judgment, you can directly ask the nearby residents and ask them about the situation, by the way, Lao Liu, the doorman of the Tianhewan community, may have seen the living dead with his own eyes."
The antique shop uncle took off his glasses, wiped them gently, and said to Qin Yu in a gentle tone.
"Thank you, senior." Qin Yu saluted again and thanked him.
After leaving the store, he felt the filthy aura envelop him again, and he was extremely uncomfortable.
The sky was gloomy, and there was an atmosphere of black clouds crushing the city.
The cool breeze can't blow away the depression here.
It only brings a chill, like the hairs that stand on end when you put your hand into an open refrigerator.
The captain Leung Ka Fai went to the hardware store, and from a distance, he was still talking to the boss.
The next one was a small restaurant, at this time around ten o'clock in the morning, the small restaurant was half-open and half-closed, and there were only the owner and the hostess inside, who were sitting together to reconcile the ledger.
Knocking on the door of the restaurant, the boss saw someone coming, with a bright smile on his face, got up and asked, "Hello, what are you eating?" ”
The complexion on the faces of the boss and the proprietress is similar to that of the uncle of the small supermarket, and they are also in a state of loss of yang.
"What do you have to eat here?" Qin Yu found a table and sat down, there is not much space here, only four or five small dining tables for two people are placed, but they are neatly arranged, and the table top is wiped clean, giving people a neat and comfortable feeling, which can see how attentive this small restaurant is to the guests.
"There are porridge noodles and wonton dumplings, and the wonton dumplings are freshly packed, very fresh, do you want to try them?" The owner said warmly.
"Okay, bring me a bowl of dumplings." Qin Yu nodded, he wanted to see if there was any problem with the food here.
It's not that it's poisoned or anything, some weird people will also eat the food of the world, such as worshipping ancestors, those ancestral sacrifices can't be eaten, because the essence inside has been absorbed by the ancestors, leaving only an empty shell, and eating it is not good for the human body.
The boss quickly wrapped a dumpling, and it could be seen that he had been doing this business for a long time and was relatively proficient.
Soon, a steaming dumpling was served, and Qin Yu asked, "How much?" ”
"Eight." The boss rubbed his hands together and laughed.
The price is also not expensive, ordinary market price.
Qin Yu picked up a dumpling, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, his brows gradually furrowed.
"What? Doesn't it taste right? The boss noticed that his face was wrong, and his expression was a little nervous.
"No, no, no, it's not a food issue." Qin Yu waved his hand and explained to the boss: "The soup base tastes very good, and the meat is fresh, but it ......"
Qin Yu hesitated, weird things can't be said to ordinary people, so as not to cause repercussions, but considering that the boss is the party here, asking about the situation will also reveal his identity later, so it doesn't hurt to say it.
"I'll just say it bluntly, your food here has been sacrificed, you know the ancestors, the two are similar, that is to say, the essence in the food has been absorbed by something, leaving only some residue."
The boss's expression changed, and his gaze at Qin Yu became suspicious, isn't this young man here to deceive? What kind of worship spirit, this meat he bought with his own hands this morning, fresh, how could it be sacrificed?
Looking at the boss's eyes, which obviously didn't believe him, Qin Yu opened the backpack on the side and took out the spare police officer ID and the matching pistol inside.
Guoan's apparent identity is that of a police officer, with a police ID card and a gun.
The pistol is specially made and has a rate of fire comparable to that of an automatic rifle, and as long as both hands can withstand recoil, five rounds a second is not a problem.
Equipped with two guns, the bullets are specially made, one is a spirit bullet engraved with a talisman, which is specially used against ghosts.
One is a special armor-piercing bullet for the bullet, which is used exclusively on zombie entities.
Seeing the gun, the boss's face froze, and then he saw the police officer card, he was relieved, no way, compared to the police officer card, this pistol attracted his attention more.
"I'm a special police officer sent by Dragon City, and I'm here to investigate the living dead."
Qin Yu moved out of the name of Dragon City, there was no way, to deal with some people with less knowledge, saying that the effect of coming from Dragon City was better than saying that he was sent from the local area.
Fear because of the unknown, this is the eternal truth.
And Guoan's headquarters is indeed in Dragon City, and he is not a liar.
"You...... Hello! The boss's tone was full of surprise and awe, and the proprietress on the side also heard Qin Yu's words, and the couple glanced at each other, and their eyes showed joy at the same time.
"I want to ask first, where did you buy this pork?" Qin Yu put down the chopsticks, this dumpling can only fill the stomach after eating, but it has no nutrients, this is like a cup of nutrient solution suddenly turning into clear water, which can only quench thirst and cannot sustain life.
"My ......" The boss took out the money Qin Yu had just given him from his waist and wanted to return it to him, but Qin Yu waved his hand and refused: "It's not your restaurant's problem, you can accept this money." ”
The boss retracted it a little uneasily, and said cautiously: "I bought this meat from the market next to Tianhe Bay in the morning, this pork stall owner is very familiar with me, and his pork is also freshly slaughtered, I have seen it with my own eyes." ”
Qin Yu noticed a detail and asked, "What time do you get up in the morning?" ”
"Oh, five o'clock, I came back from buying meat around five forty."
"Did anything unusual happen on the way back?"
"Anomalous? It's very cold when it's not dawn, huh...... And when I went, it only took ten minutes, and it was only 5:20 after shopping, and there were a few times when I came back from reading, but it was longer than going, and I didn't slow down my car. ”
I see.
Qin Yu nodded, asked the boss not to be restrained, sat down to talk, and asked about another thing: "There are rumors of haunting in the Tianhewan residential area, do you know about this?" ”
The boss sat down opposite, the proprietress made two cups of tea, he took one cup and held it in his hand, his eyes looked at the deserted street outside, and his eyes fell into memory: "Have you seen it with your own eyes, but I have heard some from the neighbors nearby." ”
He subconsciously took a sip of tea, but was scalded, and quickly put down the teacup and smiled awkwardly at Qin Yu.
"I've seen those workers, they ate at my place before the accident, and they often come to eat at my place, but I haven't seen them again since the accident." The boss said.
"On April 5th, the day of the Qingming Festival, about seven o'clock in the evening, they came to eat with me, and they all looked very happy, as if they had won the jackpot, and they also added a special meal and ordered two more dishes."
"After eating they left, I also closed the bunk, and the next day at noon only one person came, and he was very nervous, I tapped him on the shoulder and his whole body jumped."
"At that time, I only felt that his body was a little cold even through his clothes, and he was soaked with sweat, as if he was frightened by something."
