Chapter 22: A Cruel Way to Life
"If only it were as simple as you said." The expression on Dai Shikai's face was more serious than ever: "Sometimes, the evil of human nature is more terrifying than any ghost. ”
"Okay...... There are still five days to go, and on the issue of customer sources, I hope that the solution you think of is effective. Bai Qi looked at Dai Shikai solemnly. See you tomorrow night at the earliest. Dai Shikai looked at the door indifferently.
"Alright, let's go back and get ready." He Yan returned the chair to its place and beckoned to the others.
"By the way, Brother Xu Zhen, I want to go out tomorrow." Dai Shikai's words made Xu Zhen stop. He turned around and stared at Dai Shikai for more than ten seconds before he slowly spoke: "Akai, you must know that tasks and your private life are two different things...... Besides, history is doomed, and you can't change it. I hope you still focus on this mission, don't hurt yourself and the team......"
"Brother Xu Zhen, I understand what you said. Also, you misunderstood, I'm not going to see my brother tomorrow, but I'm going to investigate something. After speaking, Dai Shikai fell into Xu Zhen's ear and whispered something.
And after Xu Zhen listened to his words, his face suddenly became very ugly. He looked at Dai Shikai in disbelief, and even his voice became trembling: "Akai, this matter is not trivial, are you sure, you didn't open it...... Joke? ”
"Brother Xu Zhen, believe me." Dai Shikai held his shoulder, his eyes full of affirmation: "So, now this matter is a secret between the two of us." I hope you can help me hide it for the time being, and when I find out, I will definitely give you an explanation. ”
Xu Zhen didn't say anything more, he shook his head, turned around and went back to the back kitchen. Before leaving, he whispered to Akai, "Okay, then you must pay attention to safety." Otherwise, I can't explain to Lu Qing and Wen Qiao. ”
The second night passed peacefully, and the special guests were not as many as the Dream Breakers expected, except for the first night, the second night came to the store with ordinary spirits, and after eating, they would quietly pay and leave.
At the end of the day, all the Dream Breakers fell asleep exhausted. Dai Shikai didn't sleep, and while his teammates were resting, he quietly rolled over and walked off the bed. After getting Xu Zhen's permission, Dai Shikai left the restaurant again.
He was gone for a whole day. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening that Dai Shikai returned to the restaurant with a tired face.
"Akai, go and get some rest. I haven't slept all day......" Wu Ruomeng looked at his tired face, and her heart was full of worry.
"It's okay, I'm not tired." Dai Shikai pinched his eyebrows, took out a few cans of coffee from his bag, and shook it with a smile: "You see, I'm ready to stay up all night." ”
"You're going to break down like this. Anyway, there is still a period of time before the mission starts, you go to rest first, and we will call you if there is any situation. Bai Qi also kindly persuaded him. Although everyone repeatedly insisted that he go to rest, Dai Shikai still politely refused everyone's wishes.
"I have something important to witness tonight, and I have to stay awake." He said as he smiled and drank a can of coffee.
As for Dai Shikai's whereabouts throughout the day, Xu Zhen should have deliberately explained. The other three didn't ask much, and naturally avoided the topic peacefully.
Dai Shikai was very grateful for the trust of his companions, and after hastily eating the dinner specially prepared by Bai Qi for himself, everyone once again ushered in the delivery man Lao Chen.
"Master Chen, what's in that woven bag?" After He Yan lifted the white cloth on the tricycle, He Yan saw the other party's bag in the corner at a glance.
"What else could it be, ingredients. Every Wednesday, Lao Zhang will enter this. But then again, there really isn't anyone else who can supply such a good product but me. Lao Chen's tone sounded very proud: "It should be a gourmand who wants to eat." Who are your cooks? ”
"It's me." Bai Qi squeezed out from behind Xu Zhen.
Lao Chen stared at him for a few seconds with a pair of dark and shining eyes, and said slowly: "Young man, you have to do it well, don't waste such a good thing." ”
"Okay, I see......" Bai Qi was eager to ask what was in the bag, but quickly dismissed the idea. He thought that it was better to wait for Lao Chen to leave before studying with the others.
And Lao Chen's words made everyone nervous again, listening to what he said, tonight, the store will welcome another special customer.
After sending off the delivery man Lao Chen, everyone looked at the white pocket on the ground and fell silent. Dai Shikai kicked with a scream, but the bag did not react.
"It's not a living thing." When He Yan took the bag, he could feel the heavy weight in it.
"That's about fourteen or fifteen catties......" Bai Qi weighed it and put the bag on the ground again. Lao Chen explained that the ingredients should not be opened in a hurry, but should be refrigerated in the refrigerator for a period of time.
Wait for that special guest to come to the door before taking out the ingredients and cooking them.
"Hmm, shall we open it and take a look? I'm a little curious about what's in it and how do I cook it? Bai Qi said, reaching for the woven bag......
At midnight, there was a knock at the door of the restaurant.
"Hey, in the past, guests came in by themselves, why are there polite people who can knock on the door today."
"No matter, let's see the situation first." He Yan opened the door as he spoke.
"Welcome, uh...... What do you want to eat? To his surprise, the previous guests were all sparse, but this time, there were six "people" who came to the door!
Although, these six "people" looked covered in blood and extremely terrifying. But in He Yan's eyes, this is no longer important: "Come on, please come inside!" Afraid of losing so many guests, He Yan immediately greeted a few people into the restaurant.
"Wow, there are so many people, what's going on today?" In the back kitchen, Wu Ruomeng saw this scene and excitedly beckoned others to look outside.
The two tables were full, and the six ghosts sat at the table in a daze, holding the menu handed over by He Yan in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Sure enough, it came." Unlike the unexpected reactions of several other people, Dai Shikai had a strategic smile on his face.
"Sure enough? What do you mean...... Damn, did you succeed? Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately figured it out: "Akai, your idea is right!" ”
A few ghosts outside are no strangers to Dai Shikai. They were all about twenty-five years old, and almost every one of them had a hideous wound on their necks, their carotid arteries had been severed, and blood was constantly flowing down the knife edges, making them look extremely disgusting.
These powerful ghosts are Han Chao's subordinates who Dai Shikai personally killed last night.
If he wants to kidnap Han Chao, Dai Shikai can choose to use props and quietly take him away under people's noses. But he didn't do this, but chose the most troublesome method to get rid of Han Chao's people one by one.
Dai Shikai's purpose is not only to help the female ghost take revenge, for him, the real meaning of killing these hooligans is that he wants to verify his ideas.
Tao Xiaoqing's arrival gave him the biggest hint, Dai Shikai wanted to confirm whether as long as he died in this vicinity, the person after death would turn into a ghost and enter this restaurant.
And now, the appearance of these six powerful ghosts has completely proved that his conjecture is completely correct.
If this method works, then in the coming days, just kill as many people as possible, and you will be able to get the restaurant customers!
"Does that mean that as long as we find a place with a lot of people and cause a fire or explosion nearby, we can quickly complete the task overnight?" Bai Qi couldn't help but get excited.
Although this method sounds very cruel, it is undoubtedly the first shortcut for everyone to complete the task quickly!
"Is this really the only way to work?" Xu Zhen looked at the ghost sitting in the restaurant, and his hands couldn't help but tremble. After entering the space, Xu Zhen himself couldn't remember how many times he had experienced danger, how many times he was almost killed by a ghost, and in order to survive, he had to hone his spirit and will, forcing himself to face it, to accept anything beyond the scope of his concept and cognition.
But killing people is a hurdle that he has never been able to cross.
Especially this mission is different from the past, the people outside this alley are not virtual characters, but alive, like him, innocent people living in this world.
Xu Zhen knew that if he killed someone and his hands were really stained with blood, then the part of him as a "human" would be completely dead.
