"What? Are you still afraid that I won't have any money to give? Gold watch for you! The man in the suit directly stuffed the gold watch in his hand into the manager's hand without hesitation, pushed his chest and walked to the luxurious private room in the first row of the positive number.

The manager opened his hand and looked at the electronic watch in his hand, turned around and chased after him again: "Sir! Please wait a minute, the private room has already been booked, why don't I rearrange a place for you? ”

The man in the suit almost didn't exist, kicked open the transparent glass door of the private room, walked in with a smile, sat on the red sofa and lifted Erlang's legs, took out a metal lighter from his pocket and shook it left and right in front of him, and dragged at the manager: "Go!" Help me get a pack of cigars, the most expensive ones. “

"I'm really sorry, it's not a matter of money or money, this private room has been booked by a customer yesterday and will come over soon." The manager put the gold watch in his hand back on the table, raised his hand sideways, and asked, "Sir, please go out first!" ”

In a fit of rage, the man in the suit picked up the vase full of roses on the table and slammed it at the manager's feet, splashing broken porcelain pieces everywhere. He pointed to the gold watch on the table and shouted unashamedly: "Just this gold watch, platinum, with three diamonds inlaid on it, at least worth more than 300,000 yuan, I will use it today to pay all the fees for the private room, you can take it directly without change." ”

"This ...... But you're only one person, in fact, we have a single room, and the furnishings are just as magnificent. ”

"Who said there was only one person?"

The man in the suit lifted his pants, jumped up and jumped onto the red sofa, rubbed his dirty leather shoes twice on the sofa cushion, and scanned the hall left and right with both hands on the glass door.

The manager was suddenly stunned, stepped forward and bent down ninety degrees in a hurry, bowed, and exclaimed: "Sir, come down quickly, your leather shoes are too dirty, and this sofa is very expensive." ”

The man in the suit ignored his words, still focused his eyes on the hall left and right, looked at it and found no one, jumped down from the sofa and ran into the hall to look back and forth, his face became more nervous, and he hurriedly looked back at the manager and asked, "Did you see a girl?" Dressed in ancient costume, his head is full of bells. ”

The manager patted the ash on his nose, walked out of the private room slowly, still polite, crossed his hands on his abdomen, put on a perfect smile with the ultimate service, and bowed: "No, no, you are the only one who comes in from beginning to end, and there is no second person." ”

The face of the man in the suit was so angry that he was like a boiling kettle, took off the leather shoes under his feet, and smashed them directly on the manager's head, "You have a problem with your eyes, obviously there were two just now." ”

The manager didn't hide, the leather shoes smashed directly on the top of his head, hung in front of his ears along the door of his head, and said with that embarrassed smile: "It's better to change the room." ”

"For what? Don't change! ”

In the blink of an eye, the entire steakhouse was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and I felt that the restaurant was about to explode if I didn't say the right two words.

There was a woman sitting in the second row of the main number in the hall, and there was a man next to her, and after inadvertently hearing the conversation between the two of them, the woman got up from her seat first, took the microphone on the table, and walked out of the private room.

"Who said there was only one person? There are two of them. The woman put the microphone behind her back and said to the manager as soon as she walked out.

Immediately afterward, a man came from behind, holding a video camera on his shoulder, and ran out of the private room.

The manager took off the leather shoes hanging on his ears, returned them to the man in the suit with both hands respectfully, looked back and forth, and said with a smile: "What?" Do you know?

As soon as the man in the suit saw the woman's outfit, he could immediately distinguish her profession and identity, but he still shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I know she's a journalist." “

The female reporter reacted quickly, took out a boxy jade VIP card from her bag, shook it in front of the manager's eyes, and said: "This is the highest membership card in your store, and only VIPs who spend 88,888 yuan are qualified enough to spend 200,000 yuan, and have the noble privilege of 'cutting first and then playing'." “

As soon as the manager saw this card, his face turned white, and he immediately took off the suit on his body, hung it around his neck, knelt down on his knees, bowed three times with his forehead to the ground, and whispered: "Welcome to the distinguished guests!" ”

Not only that, the three or five waiters passing by around inadvertently observed this scene in the afterglow, and they all put down the work in their hands for the time being, and knelt on the floor with their knees bent, and said in unison: "Welcome to the arrival of the distinguished guests." ”

The female reporter took the jade gold card back into her bag, smiled triumphantly, turned back to the man in the suit and said, "Okay, I've got it for you, let's eat some steak together." ”

The man in the suit looked at these waiters kneeling on the ground, and instantly felt like he was an emperor, such a pleasure could not be described in words, the whole brain was excited, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he said with a smile: "Hehe, what are these people doing, why are they all kneeling with me." ”

The female reporter walked all the way to the first row of private rooms, pushed open the glass door, turned around and beckoned to the man in the suit, "Come on, I'm in for a treat, I want to eat something, just order." ”

The man in the suit was very surprised, thinking that his gold watch was not as good as a card, his mind was angry and happy, he stomped his feet, put on his leather shoes, and turned around to catch up with the female reporter, "Hey, I don't know you, why are you helping me, do you see that I have a handsome posture." ”

The man in the suit walked into the private room, sat face to face with the female reporter, put the gold strap in his hand, shook it, and said: "Miss, what kind of person are you, I don't know you, I will come out of the card to save you, are you grateful, or I invite you to eat." ”

The sound fell, the glass door of the private room was pushed open again, and four waiters crawled in with their heads bowed and feet on the ground outside, and the manager followed closely. ”

The female reporter took the menu with one hand, swiped it casually twice with a pen, threw the menu on the table, pushed it to the man in the suit, and said, "Just order, I still have hundreds of thousands of dollars in my gold card." ”

The man in the suit glanced back at the kneeling waiters, always feeling a little awkward in his heart, and looked back at the menu in his hand, a mouthful of old blood almost didn't spurt out. The cheapest steak on it starts at five figures, and a bottle of red wine costs more than 30,000 yuan, although the red wine he usually drinks is also very expensive, but he always feels a little strange when he sees this price.

"It's okay, you can order it casually, the gold card must be spent at least 100,000 yuan, and this set of royal distinguished services is also specially arranged by me for you."

When the man in the suit saw the female reporter's sexy little skirt that showed her sexy figure, his nosebleed was about to come out. At this time, the man with the camera on his shoulder followed him into the private room, but he only stood to the side, holding the camera and recording it.

Looking back at the menu in his hand, he casually drew a dish of the most expensive steak and aged red wine with a pen, smashed the menu on the head of a waiter, pointed to the door and said, "Go, don't let me see blood in the steak, remember to bring me a cigar." ”

The waiter took the menu and climbed out with a few people. But it didn't take long for them to climb back again, and the two of them, with their plates and their hands of red wine, as if they had been prepared beforehand, set them on the table, and retreated in a line along the glass door.

The man in the suit opened the steak and saw that a puff of white hot smoke came out of the plate, and inside was a blackened steak, with a fork and a knife next to it, and he grabbed the steak with one hand when he smelled the fragrance, and the knife and fork were shaken under the table, stuffed into his mouth and ate it in a big gulp.

The female reporter also lifted the lid of the plate, but her steak was completely raw, as if only one layer was cooked, only the top layer was charred and the bottom was full of blood, and a small piece was inserted into her mouth with a knife and fork, and there were bloodshots everywhere on her chin, which stained the female reporter's open lips red.

However, she still ate with relish, the plate was full of blood, and the red tendons under the whole steak could be clearly seen.

The man in the suit noticed this, looked up at the female reporter, and said, "Amazing, you can eat this, what does it taste like?" ”

"It's sour, it's fishy, and it's a little bitter, but it's delicious." The female reporter took a white tissue sprayed with fragrance from the dining table, wiped the blood on her chin, and threw it in the trash.

The female reporter suddenly picked up the microphone, leaned into the face of the man in the suit, and asked, "I want to interview you, would you like to?" ”

The man in the suit nodded and said, "Just rush this meal, just ask whatever you want." ”

"Can you tell me what your mouth tastes like right now?"

"Of course it's fragrant, it's fragrant and numb, and this black pepper is sprinkled so much."

"Do you feel like this is the smell of steak?"

"Of course it's steak, maybe it's horse meat."

When the man in the suit was halfway through eating, he felt a little wrong, as if there was a little fishy smell, and immediately spit out the chewed steak in his mouth, and when he spit it on the table, he suddenly realized that what was in his tongue was not steak at all, he couldn't see what it was, a small red lump, very disgusting.

"How? Is it tasty? The female reporter's voice suddenly became vicissitudes.

As soon as the man in the suit looked up, the light above his head flashed, and an old woman's face appeared in front of him, and when he looked back, a little boy by the sofa was holding a leather ball in his hand and shooting it on the ground, and the whole Little Red Riding Hood almost covered his face.

The man in the suit was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped up from the red sofa, ran to the glass door in front of him with his legs soft, and slammed it open directly with his body, and rushed to the hall without having time to care about the situation behind him.

When he came to the hall, the man in the suit found that this was not a steakhouse at all, but a cemetery, surrounded by tombstones, and when he looked back at the private room before, the glass door had already become a tombstone, and the black and white photo of the old woman was pasted directly above the tombstone, and there was a small tomb next to it.

There is also a red hanging flag on the grave, there is a saying in our hometown, the dead child can not stand a tombstone in front of the grave, but use a stone instead, the stone must dig a small hole of three centimeters in the depression, placed in front of the grave, it is said that the main purpose of this is to prevent the child's soul from crying to find his mother, the red flag on it is used to replace his mother.

The man in the suit didn't dare to look in that direction at all, and the surrounding area seemed to be a barren mountain range, with no roads, no cars, no tall buildings, no pedestrians, leaving him alone here blowing the cold wind. After running out of a kilometer away, he came to a grass hut, took out his mobile phone in a panic, and dialed the driver's number, but the other side did not answer for a long time.

The man in the suit continued to dial the number a second time with trembling arms, and after a few seconds of beeping, the phone was finally connected, but the sound of an old woman burping came from the earpiece.

Then there was a string of little boys crying, crying and shouting to find his mother.

The man in the suit was so frightened that his palms went soft, and the mobile phone suddenly slid from his ear and fell to the ground, shattering.

As soon as he turned around, he rushed into the thatched hut, which was gloomy and full of the smell of garbage, and the man in the suit had to take out a lighter from his pocket and light it, and the first place illuminated by the firelight was the spiritual seat placed in the center.

There are several posthumous photos on it, the first one is the manager I saw at the steakhouse before, with a small flat head and a tie. The next few photos are of the waiters, and there is a plate of grilled steak in front of the spirit card.

The man in the suit approached the spiritual position with a lighter in his hand, and found that there was another posthumous photo hidden in front of and behind the three incense sticks, and he reached out to take a look, and suddenly found that it was the female reporter before, the photo was a little blurry, but he could still see her haggard appearance clearly at a glance.

"What are you doing here alone?"

The voice of a girl behind him came, and it was very familiar, the man in the suit shook the lighter in his hand, looked back behind him, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Sister, it turned out to be you, where did you go before, why did you disappear as soon as you entered the restaurant." ”

It turned out that the one who suddenly stood behind the man in the suit was the bell, this time she appeared, and there was an extra ice cream in her hand, took it to her mouth and took a bite, and said: "Let's go, I have some urgent matters to deal with just now, and now that you have finished eating, you can go to the bar you said before with me." ”

The man in the suit sighed and wiped the sweat from his chin. As soon as the bell stepped forward, he directly grabbed his arm with one hand, rushed out of the thatched hut with him, and flew under the moon with his legs.

"Hey, big sister, you haven't told me why."

"What, you just need to show me the way."

The man in the suit with the bell flew over the barren mountains and mountains, and soon came to the city, and landed steadily on the bridge, at this time, there were more cars coming and going, and the bell called a taxi with a gesture.

During the whole process, the man in the suit barely reacted, and was dragged into the car by the bell.

The driver looked back at the two men and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

The bell kicked the man in the suit in front of him, and said in a vicious tone: "I don't know, let this guy show you the way." ”

The driver turned back to the man in the suit and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

The man in the suit looked left and right through the glass window, patted his brain, and said slowly: "Wait a minute, you let me think about it, it's been ten years, and I really can't remember it for a while." ”

The driver in the car was a little impatient at this time, and said angrily with a cigarette in his mouth: "Can you go or not, get out of the car if you don't go, I'm still busy." ”

Bell took out a fruit knife, put the knife on the driver's neck, and warned: "You kid be honest with me, you will go wherever you are asked to go, don't be verbose, don't talk nonsense." ”

Seeing that there was a layer of cold object on his throat, the driver nodded in fright and said, "I know, I know, big sister, don't get excited." ”

The man in the suit sitting next to the driver's seat slapped his head at this time, and suddenly said, "Oh, I remembered, I finally remembered." ”

The bell turned around and said, "If you think about it, hurry up and show the way." ”

"Although I remembered it, I didn't know what the name of the ground was, so I could only rely on my impressions to show the way."

"You're hurrying, you're not grinding!" The bell let go of the driver and said to him again, "You boy be honest with me, and I will let you go when we get to the place, and I will give you a lot of money." ”

The driver nodded in a panic, reached out and twisted the key on the car, started the engine, and the man in the suit on the side reached out and pointed to the road ahead through the windshield, saying: "Cross this bridge and drive to the left, there is a shop selling baked cakes on the side of the road, just drive along the intersection." ”

After listening to his words, the driver held the steering wheel hard, increased his speed, and drove the car all the way to the end of the bridge, and after turning, there was indeed an intersection in front of him.

The man in the suit pointed to the road ahead again, and said: "After this intersection, drive the car in the left direction, I remember that there is an Internet café in that place, called No. 72 Net, but it has been abandoned for several years, after seeing that Internet café, continue to drive the car forward, there is no fork in the road in front, just keep driving." ”

The driver answered, sped up his speed, and when he turned to the intersection, he saw an abandoned Internet café, the signboard was smashed, and there were several dirty school uniforms hanging on it, which were all pitch black and could not see anything.

The man in the suit said: "You just keep going, this avenue is estimated to be three or five kilometers long, and you will see a river at the end." ”

When the bell heard this, he seemed to think of something, reached out and patted his hair, and asked, "I remember that we didn't come out of this Internet café before?" When I saw it, the café was intact, but now it's in ruins. “

The man in the suit looked back at the bell, his face was ugly, and he sighed: "I can't tell you clearly in these two sentences, this Internet café is very strange, every twelve o'clock in the morning, the ruins are no longer ruins, but an Internet café, but no matter how many times you go in, the people you see in it are the same, such as the female cashier, if you go in today and kill her, tomorrow when you return to the Internet café, the female cashier is still sitting intact in front of the bar." “

"Is there anything so strange?" Bell asked.

"Of course there is, I've been to the Internet café several times, and I go there every time at twelve o'clock, mainly because I like a girl in it, otherwise I wouldn't run there every day, how tired." The man in the suit turned around, pointed to the road in front of him and said to the driver, "It's almost there, it's almost there, I see the river turning left." ”

The driver was drenched all over at this moment, and the cigarettes in his mouth were soaked with sweat from his nose, and he had to speed up the car again.

"Hey, stop, left, left, right, right, right, turn forward, okay, I guess it's coming." The man in the suit kept stretching out his hand to direct the path to the bar, and his voice was about to burst.

But the road ahead was getting darker and darker, there were almost no street lights, and there were rows of trees on both sides, until the car approached an abandoned house, and the man in the suit shouted to stop, saying: "When I arrived, just ahead, I remember that there was an old man selling kebabs near the bar, and I saw him at night, and I usually don't see anyone else during the day." ”

The man in the suit opened the car door, and when he got out of the car, the bell followed.

As soon as he got out of the car, the taxi driver immediately slammed the accelerator and drove the car away at the fastest speed, probably also frightened by the suit man's outfit and the bell's strange costume.

After the car left, Bell looked at the abandoned house in front of him and asked, "What is this place?" There isn't even a single building around. ”

The man in the suit walked along the road to the opposite side, looked left and right, and thought it was also very strange, and said, "Yes, I remember that the bar is in this location, and there are many buildings around, how did it become like this in a blink of an eye." ”

The bell was so angry that he rushed over and grabbed the man in the suit by the neck, and said, "You won't be playing tricks on me again, will you?" ”

"No, I'm serious, I remember that the guy died in this place, and there were several police cars and ambulances at that time, and when he was brought out, he had several red marks on his forehead, and it looked like he was beaten by steel bars, and the death was too miserable." The man in the suit continued to explain.

The bell pushed him away, and walked alone to the abandoned house, which was littered with broken wine bottles, and when he looked inside, there were many tables and stools scattered on the ground, but there was no light inside, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

Bell turned around, looked at the man in the suit again, and said, "Hey, you have a lantern or not, you can have a candle." ”

The man in the suit walked up slowly and said with a smile: "These are not available, but there is a lighter, it can't last too long, or I'll go to other places to see if there are any shops and help you buy a flashlight." ”
