Chapter 7: Midnight Diners
"What did she order?" Bai Qi took the menu handed by He Yan, and it read: stir-fried spinach and shredded potatoes.
"I can't tell it, this ghost is still a vegetarian. I guess it's not very interesting to us for a few pieces of meat. Dai Shikai has returned to his previous mentality, and what Xu Zhen appreciates is his strong psychological quality of being fearless in the face of anything.
Under the influence of Akai, everyone's frowning brows also relaxed: "Then follow the menu first and make the dishes ready." ”
The two dishes ordered by the female ghost were not difficult to make, Bai Qi flipped the spoon and got busy in front of the stove in a decent manner. While he was cooking, Dai Shikai and Xu Zhen stood quietly behind the curtain, carefully observing the female ghost's every move.
Soon, the dish was out of the pot. It was the first time for Wu Ruomeng to deal with a powerful ghost head-on, and when she thought of this, her hand holding the plate was already trembling slightly. Just as she was about to walk out of the back kitchen, a pair of warm and strong hands took the plate from her hands.
"Akai ......" Wu Ruomeng was a little surprised.
"Look at you nervous, what if you say the wrong thing later?" Dai Shikai didn't give Wu Ruomeng a chance to refute, and went straight to open the curtain and walked out.
"It's okay, trust him." Xu Zhen saw Wu Ruomeng's uneasiness, and patiently explained: "Don't look at him as if he is usually not serious, but once he gets serious, he will become very reliable." ”
Here, Dai Shikai had already walked in front of the female ghost with the dishes. He put the dishes and soup on the table one by one, and then said to the female ghost, "The dishes you want are ready, please use them." ”
The female ghost bowed slightly at him, but she didn't plan to move her chopsticks immediately. Instead, he stared blankly at the two dishes, not knowing what he was thinking. Dai Shikai didn't bother her, but stood quietly aside.
The female ghost didn't care too much about his existence. She sat motionless at the table with her head slightly bowed at all times. After getting up close, Dai Shikai discovered some more details. In addition to the unbearable staring at the destruction of the lower half of its face, the bottom edge of its floral skirt was stained with some mud, and one part of the skirt was torn.
Not only that, but in its hands and between its fingernails, Dai Shikai made a new discovery.
Seeing that the female ghost was reluctant to move his chopsticks, he made a bold move.
Dai Shikai pulled the chair in front of the female ghost and sat down opposite it: "Is our dish not to your liking?" Looking at you like this, is there any trouble? The female ghost didn't pay attention to him, but continued to keep her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.
Regarding Dai Shikai's abruptness, the female ghost did not show an aggressive side. Everyone also became curious from the initial nervousness. Obviously, the female ghost is not here to eat. What exactly is it going to do? This is the biggest doubt of everyone at the moment.
Unknowingly, from the time she entered the store to the present, the female ghost has been sitting quietly at the table for an hour and a half. No matter how Dai Shikai talked to her, the other party still didn't mean to speak. During this period, Wu Ruomeng also put the prepared pen and paper in front of it, but the female ghost just glanced at it quietly and did not mean to do anything.
"She's not going to sit there until dawn, is she?" He Yan whispered.
"I don't know, I always feel like it's waiting for someone." As Dai Shikai spoke, the door was pushed open again.
This time, it was a man and a woman who came in. The strange thing is that it is summer at this moment, but these two people are wearing black trench coats, and they are wrapped tightly up and down.
The two men, who were about twenty-five years old, entered the restaurant talking and laughing. As soon as they entered, they didn't wait for any words to say hello, and they found a place to sit down, and they didn't show surprise or fear at the female ghost sitting at the table next to them, as if it were just an ordinary guest.
Dai Shikai pushed his glasses, and from these two people, he didn't see the breath that belonged to humans.
His glasses were a prop that he plundered from Chi Yinghui in the orphan grudge mission. Although this glasses cannot directly identify some special ghosts, (such as Uncle Gen, the doorman in the Ghost Mansion mission, the staff in the orphanage, and Wang Yawen in Hongyue High School), it can easily identify ghosts disguised as humans.
Dai Shikai turned his head and exchanged glances with his teammates behind him, and He Yan immediately understood that these two diners were not humans.
"Welcome, what do you two want to eat?" He Yan has adjusted his mentality, and his conversation with the ghost has been smoothed a lot.
"Hey, isn't Lao Zhang here? Are you new here? "It was the man in the couple who spoke, his face was pale, his eye sockets were deep, and he didn't seem to be in good spirits. The woman's skin looked bloodless, and her face was smeared with red rouge and lipstick, which made her face even paler.
At first glance, these two people look like paper dummies. Thinking of the way they walked silently in the dark alley, Wu Ruomeng had a lot of goosebumps on her back.
However, He Yan and Dai Shikai's focus is not on the appearance of the two, it can be analyzed from the man's sentence that they are old customers of this store.
"Yes, Boss Zhang has to go out for a week, and we will take over this time." After He Yan finished speaking, he keenly captured the disappointment that flashed on the faces of the two powerful ghosts.
"That's it......" The woman took the arm of the man next to her, stared at He Yan, and pushed the menu aside: "Can that still be done?" ”
"That?" When everyone heard this, their hearts couldn't help but tremble. Don't...... They still remember the "special guests" mentioned by Lao Zhang's mouth.
Lao Zhang once said that the tastes of these special guests are very tricky, and once they are not served well and they are not satisfied, then the end will be very terrible.
The Dream Breakers knew that while the two ghosts seemed approachable at the moment, no one could guarantee that they would not be aggressive. Even if there are regional props to protect the body, in the face of the two powerful ghosts who have turned on the killing mode, the Dream Breakers can't hold on for a few minutes.
When human beings face powerful ghosts, they are always weak and humble like ants, even if they are people who defy the sky like Shan Hongwei and Lu Jie, they don't dare to challenge the ghosts rashly. Therefore, in the face of the demands of these two ghosts, all people can do is to do their best to meet it.
"Sorry, we're new and don't know much about your needs. It's convenient for you to reveal ...... you want to eat" He Yan wanted to ask the two powerful ghosts in front of him what they wanted to eat. But who knew that in the next second, the face of the male ghost turned iron-blue, and the face of the female ghost who was smiling before suddenly collapsed. They stared at He Yan and Dai Shikai expressionlessly, and at the same time, the temperature of the surrounding air also dropped a lot.
Suffered! Obviously, He Yan's question angered the two powerful ghosts in front of him, and they had already moved their killing intent.
He Yan was shocked, he didn't expect that his words would make the situation like this.
"Didn't Lao Zhang tell you?! Is this still to be asked? The ghost's voice suddenly became sharper, and her roar hurt the ears of those present, as if someone had slashed through the glass with a razor.
A ghost is a ghost, with an unpredictable and unpredictable temper. One second it was fine, but the next second it became this terrifying look. He Yan believes that if he says the wrong thing again, the other party will definitely kill him without hesitation.
If you don't do anything more, I'm afraid the ghost will soon go berserk!
The atmosphere became more and more tense, except for the female ghost sitting in the corner in a daze, everyone did not dare to breathe, for fear that the mutation was about to happen......
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, beauty. This fat man's head is not bright, don't be like him......" When He Yan was at a loss, Dai Shikai played a round in time.
"Boss Zhang has already explained, for the two of you, you must be the focus of care! Sit back and we'll serve you the food right away. Anyway, Dai Shikai still decided to stabilize these two ghosts first.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, the female ghost's face softened slightly: "Okay, for Lao Zhang's sake, I'll give you another chance." ”
