The leaves of the wide road were swirled by the wind, and the pieces of gravel that used to be were now carried away. For three days, the jingling of the streets has been around the clock, and the huge restaurant has finally been revitalized.

Countless ghouls climbed the building, carefully smearing gold dust on the broken walls. Embellishment of all kinds of gold and silver threads of colored silk, with simple sandalwood doors and windows, elegant pineapple plaques, for a time the brilliance is shining, and the luxury is difficult to hide.

And this dignified and quaint restaurant has a very cheesy name - "Jinyu Lou", which sounds like a Fengyue place at first glance.

"I'm going to eat here when I grow up. ”

In the corner of the street, a big-headed imp sits there. looked at the restaurant with a yearning look on his face. But the shabby clothes and the feeling of hunger in his stomach told him that it was destined to be a dream.

What he should be thinking about now is how to survive in this city where the law of the jungle is the strongest.

"Little ghost, do you want to eat there?"

A voice oozed from the darkness behind the big-headed imp.

"Yes, but not your business!"

The imp snorted, saying that the voice was laughing at him like everyone else, and got up to wrap himself and leave.

"Don't go, if you want to go, I can help you. You see what it is. ”

The figure stepped out of the darkness, holding a small piece of jade and a small pill as black as ink.

The big-headed little ghost looked down, only to feel that the jade color was warm, crisp and translucent, and it seemed that there was still a little spirituality, which was definitely of extraordinary value. And the pill is gloomy and deep, full of ominous meaning.

"What do you want me to do?" the imp warned.

"Don't worry, it's very simple, I just want you to swallow this pill. The figure smiled and gently lifted the collar of the coat that almost covered his entire face: "As long as you swallow this pill, this piece of jade can be exchanged for money, so that you can enter this restaurant to eat." ”

"What are the consequences of swallowing the pill?"

"Get stronger, get to the realm you've always dreamed of. ”

The little ghost was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Here I am precarious, and I can't see tomorrow." Even if this pill can kill me, I'm not afraid. ”

As he spoke, he took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, and then disappeared into the night with the man in the robe.

Passers-by who hurriedly walk on the street will not notice that there is a beggar ghost missing from the street that usually squats there.

The clanging sound of construction continued, and countless ghouls numbly climbed on the golden jade building, mechanically doing repetitive work.

Nowadays, the restaurant is closed, but there is an exception to everything. Now in the middle of the night, in a secret room in the corner of the seventh floor of the building, there is a square table and two wooden chairs, and two middle-aged ghouls, one fat and one thin, are drinking blood wine here, talking to each other.

"Brother Wan, little brother toasts you!"

The thin ghoul raised his glass and respectfully saluted the other side, this person was the owner of the Thousand Beasts Pavilion.

The fat ghoul on the opposite side hurriedly greeted the cup, and smiled all over his face: "Don't dare, don't dare, return Brother Wan." It is estimated that after March, you will be the owner of the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave, and this sentence of 'Brother Wan' must be yours. ”

This person's identity is even more extraordinary, he is actually the owner of this restaurant - Wan Mantang, Wan Da Boss.

"That's what the words are. The owner smiled and said, "I just want to thank you for your help this time." ”

"What kind of help doesn't help, it's just to let the dead ghost sit near your family Feng Thunder Leopard, no matter how bad it is, it's just a clever little ghost to attract that Chu You. That's all, we've known each other for so long, why be polite to me!"

"You can't say that, if it weren't for Brother Wan, you fanning the flames and controlling the time before and after, how could there be such a good effect?"

The hall owner took a sip of wine and continued: "But then again, I didn't expect that Chu You to be so strong and kill that bastard thing directly. I'm this one who is panicking, for fear that he will make a mistake and fold himself in. ”

"Fortunately, the Corpse Emperor appreciated him and let him escape. ”

"How do you say that?" Boss Wan spread his hands and asked, "I'm afraid that the person surnamed Chu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, wouldn't it be better if something happens to him?"

"That Chu You is a bit of a threat to us, but he's just a reckless man, no matter how high his cultivation is, it's not enough to justify, what I'm afraid of is these big and small forces in the Blood Chest. Tell me, which of these forces is not deeply rooted, and it is not something that we can shake today. ”

The pavilion owner sighed: "We have a lot of enemies, we have a long way to go, I don't want that Chu Biaozi to bury his life early and miss the big things in the future." ”

"That's right. Boss Wan poured a full bottle of wine and shook the glass gently: "It seems that we have to be careful, that Chu You is too easy to get on the road, so let's wait until the critical time to use it." ” 、

The two of them touched each other's glasses as they spoke, and in this dimly lit environment, they were not mistaken.

The place they were in was a secret room, separated by only a wall from the next room, but the decoration was very different. The tables and chairs are all made of ordinary wood, the walls are also made of white plaster, and there is a false window on the wall, but the window paper is thick and does not let in a trace of sunlight.

On weekdays, only a huge night pearl is used to illuminate here, but the scattered light is really limited, and when it falls in this dim room, at most the people present can barely see the opposite face.

Of course, the reason for all this is very simple, in order to ensure the safety of this place, Boss Wan built this place by himself, and never used any ghouls. Even if it is used occasionally, no one who has used it will ever see the sun the next day.

In this way, the existence of this secret room is the world's top secret, and only extremely important matters, or extremely important people, can be invited to meet here. Boss Wan sits on the largest restaurant in the city of blood, and I don't know how many dirty deeds are made here.

"Brother Wan, how about the batch of bone-piercing young beasts that were sent that day?"

"It's not bad, it's very tender, it's delicious. But brother, you have to take it easy, those cubs can be sold for a lot of money when they grow up, don't send them to me to cook. ”

"Don't worry, it's right to send some to Brother Wan, just a few young beasts are not enough to worry about. ”

The two chatted with each other, and during which they talked about many things, such as how to defeat a certain family back then, how to assassinate whose children in retaliation, who was arrogant, who secretly took action, and so on.

It wasn't until dawn that they said goodbye to each other, Boss Wan stayed in the building, and the hall owner got into a tight beast cart surrounded by a group of ghouls and returned to the Thousand Beast Gate.
