Chapter 17: Midnight Canteen
The legendary midnight cafeteria of Yeling Academy is not the cafeteria where students eat now, but the old cafeteria, which existed before the establishment of the school, and has a relatively historical existence, but now it is no longer in operation, and no one knows when it existed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At that time, in order to save money, the school did not demolish and renovate, so it directly used this canteen, which was used for more than ten years, during which it was only simply repaired, so this canteen was particularly dilapidated and incompatible with the school.
Later, the school felt that the canteen was too old, and rebuilt a new canteen, so the old canteen was closed, and the dilapidated appearance and the historical relics like shareholders in the most remote corner of the campus, I don't know when, some bad rumors circulated among the students, it is said that this canteen will open at midnight, as for what is inside, no one knows, and no one wants to know.
At that time, a boy came back to school late, passed by the old cafeteria in the corner, and suddenly saw the lights on inside, out of curiosity, he walked in, but there was no one in this cafeteria, at this moment, he felt a cool breeze blowing behind him, blowing his scalp straight numb.
I don't know if it's because of his own psychological effect, he always felt that the cold wind was oozing from the old cafeteria, and suddenly, something was on my left shoulder, and when I turned my head to look, I saw that it was a big pale hand, with rough skin piled together, and that hand was extremely cold.
"Young man, what are you doing here at such a late hour?" A hoarse voice rang out. The hand immediately retracted, and the boy turned his head and saw the man standing in the shadows, the moonlight shining on him, and saw that his hand was like a spatula, and he felt like a cook in a canteen.
The boy lied casually: "I came out to relax, scatter, oh, by the way, master, why are you still here so late?"
Although the boy could not see the cook's face clearly, he felt that his eyes radiated a strange light, staring at him like a hunter seeing his prey. Then he said quietly, "Dinner has been delivered to the door, and I am waiting for my guests." The voice was hollow, like a dead man.
After a while, the man said, "Young man, aren't you afraid that this canteen is haunted?"
"What are you afraid of, as the saying goes, I don't do bad things in my life, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, I haven't done anything bad, that ghost has no grievances with me, and there is no reason to harm me." The boy smiled a little. The cook-like man laughed after him, and as if he was saying something, he stood for a moment and walked away.
He wandered around here for a while, and felt very boring, and when he was about to leave, a cold air came to his face, which made him gasp, the old cafeteria was very dark, and he always felt that there were two eyes staring at me in the dark, and it was cold behind him, like something was passing over it, and it was more like someone was blowing on his neck behind his back, and he shivered, and when he turned around and looked back, he found nothing.
At this moment, there was a sound like stir-frying vegetables behind him, and the boy looked back again, and at this time, the moonlight seeped in from the outside, and he saw a figure with a spatula and walking towards him, half of it was rotten flesh, half of it was white bones, and it was smiling at him gloomily, and his eyes revealed the light of a hunter.
The boy's eyes widened and he wanted to shout, but he found that he couldn't shout and wanted to escape, but he couldn't take a step. The "man" came to him in an instant, approaching him with a spatula and a grin.
"There is a debtor and a debtor, I have no grievances with you, you... don't hurt me." The boy held back his fear and said it with all his might, but the "man" smiled darkly.
"Dinner ready." The man said, this voice was very familiar, it was the middle-aged cook just now, but he didn't expect that this was a ghost, he couldn't help but feel suffocated, and trembled and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Huh." The ghost chuckled softly and said, "Young man, where did you hear that ghosts need a reason to kill?" ”
At this moment, the voice of Si Si Suo was heard not far away, and the ghost smiled at him compassionately, "Look, my guests are here, and dinner is ready to begin." ”
At midnight, the old canteen was buzzing with laughter and the people inside were enjoying a delicious dinner・・・・・・・
At this time, Long Daoling was already standing in front of the door of the midnight cafeteria, the ghost ring in his hand was already flashing red, if he walked in like this, it always felt bad, after careful consideration, he decided to sneak in to find out.
Then, he took out the book of 100 ghosts, and immediately summoned the paper ghost man, the back-carrying ghost, the night crying ghost, the big-headed ghost, the unkempt ghost, the road ghost, the horizontal death ghost, the hanging ghost, and the headless ghost, of course, in addition to them, the five ghosts of the wilderness ghost, the flying ghost, the swift ghost, the smoke ghost and the echo ghost are also indispensable to summon together, and fifteen ghosts have emerged here at once, and the lineup is also quite huge.
It was also the first time that he summoned all the ghosts he had received in the academy, allowing his own ghost qi to leak out, allowing himself to hide among the five ghosts, and then, under the leadership of the dragon spirit, a group of ghosts prepared to come to this legendary midnight cafeteria.
When they entered the cafeteria, Long Daoling began to carefully observe everything inside, the feeling of this cafeteria was not as desolate as in broad daylight, the layout inside seemed to be a little old, there were old wooden tables and wooden chairs around it, and the chandeliers on the walls flickered on and off.
Soon after they entered, the color of the light changed to an eerie green, and the faint green could not help but make people feel a chill in their hearts, and there were some white shadows sitting on the tables and chairs, and the faces of each ghost looked extremely terrifying, and they seemed to be waiting for a meal like ordinary people, and they felt very lively.
When they arrived, the ghosts seemed to take them for their own kind and ignored them.
At this time, a voice sounded: "Wow, it's really rare to have so many guests here today, everyone sit down casually." I saw a middle-aged man in the corner of the cafeteria, holding a spatula and a weird smile on his face, talking to them.
Long Dao Ling motioned for them to go to a row of empty tables and chairs in front of them, and the headless ghost came there with the two female ghosts in white and sat down first, and the rest of the ghosts also sat on the side one after another, and the wilderness ghosts, flying ghosts, and swift ghosts, and several of their ghosts did not leave Long Daoling's side an inch, and sat down on the chairs on the other side.
After they sat down, Long Daoling observed it, and felt that there were really a lot of ghosts here, and he thought that they were all dead teachers and students in the academy, but he found that these ghosts had different appearances, and some of them seemed to have existed for a long time judging from their appearance, and he didn't know where they came from.
The chef-like guy watched them take their seats, and entered the inner room of the cafeteria with joy, and the sound of ~ping-pong~ ping-pong sounded, as if he was preparing dinner.
At this time, Long Daoling thought in his heart, what does this ghost want to eat, what kind of dishes does the chef want to make, where do the ingredients come from, could it be the same as that legend, he wants to eat people, thinking about it like this, he can't help but feel a little terrifying in his heart.
"Ghost servant, let me ask you a question, does the ghost need to eat?" Long Daoling quietly asked him to the ghost ring.
"Quack, ghost master, that's a good question, then I'll tell you, ghosts are different from people, most ghosts don't need to eat, they only need to absorb ghost qi to replenish their strength, of course, some ghosts like to absorb human qi, which is what you humans call yang qi, and some ghosts still retain human habits and like to eat all kinds of food, but they can't eat it, they can only absorb the breath of these foods." The ghost servant explained.
"Oh, I see, it seems that the ghost only doesn't like to breathe all kinds of qi, it seems that I think too much." Long Daoling said with a sigh of relief.
"Ghost master, I'm talking about most ghosts, and it's only limited to ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts, and in the category of ghosts, there are some ghosts called evil ghosts, and they can eat people, but they are only very few." The ghost servant added.
"What, there really are ghosts who can eat people?" Long Daoling couldn't help but feel a little scary after hearing this, and the word evil ghost made him remember it deeply in his mind.
When the ghost servant heard this, he smiled and said, "Quack, ghost master, all kinds of ghosts have different preferences, you can get used to it in the future." ”
After listening to the words of the ghost servant, Long Dao Ling was temporarily relieved, this midnight canteen to make sure that there would be no ghosts who could eat people, that chef he had already judged from his breath to be a ghost, so he was also very curious about what kind of food this guy would prepare.
At this moment, the chef came out with a plate of food and placed it on the table next to the ghost, and the plate of food exuded a ghostly aura, as if they had seen something delicious, and they ate it like ordinary people.
Those ghosts only have the action of eating, but they absorb a faint ghost qi from the plate, Long Daoling secretly glanced at the plate, he didn't know if he didn't look at it, he was startled when he saw it, and the contents of the plate suddenly made him feel disgusted, because it was not filled with delicious food, but some dead insects and some unknown creatures.
At this time, the chef walked over to them with a plate of these things, placed it on the table, and said with a smile, "You are new guests, how about you try my craft?" ”
Long Daoling looked at this plate and was about to vomit it, he looked at the ghosts next to him, they didn't seem to react, the headless ghost also ate it carefully, and the other ghosts did the same.
The chef didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, looked at Long Daoling intently, and asked, "Why doesn't this guest eat, isn't it appetizing?" ”
Long Daoling gestured to the wilderness ghost beside him, and the wilderness ghost also noticed that Long Daoling didn't want to eat this, but he misunderstood what it meant, and then stood up and shouted to the chef: "Shopkeeper, these things of yours are too ordinary, how can you let our ghost master eat them, hurry up and take out your signature dishes!" ”
When Long Daoling heard this, he immediately cried and laughed, and thought that he would let the wilderness ghost help him pass it, but he didn't expect this guy to mistakenly think that it was not to his liking, and the chef heard the wilderness ghost say this, put away his smile, and said very seriously: "I didn't expect that my canteen has been in business for so long, and finally met diners, but I have limited ingredients here, okay, for the sake of you being a new customer, I decided to cook you a good soup called "Xianxin Pork Rib Soup". ”
I didn't expect this chef to be so serious, Long Daoling was silent on the side, and after hearing it, the wilderness ghost immediately said: "It seems that the name is a bit of a source, hurry up and prepare!" ”
The cook hurriedly walked into the kitchen and began to prepare・・・・・
