Chapter 187: Relying on Conjecture, Receiving a Boxed Lunch
Xie Chen walked slowly in front, and then passed through the middle of the two hat waiters to the front table.
The masked waiter stood right in front of him.
As he passed by the two hat waiters, he didn't forget to jump up and lift their hats.
It's a pity that both of them have no facial features on their heads, and even one of them is bald.
The mask worn by the masked waiter on the side, like all masked waiters, was engraved with the appearance of evil spirits.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, he still didn't think about taking it off.
Xie Chen looked at the place where the statue was originally stored, it was very close to the center of the banquet hall, and he could see it if he wanted to see it.
It's a pity that it was unexpected.
It stands to reason that now that he is sober for a while, he can only think of his own name, after seeing the statue in the banquet hall.
It's true that there is no longer the ghost-like statue from before, but unfortunately I don't see what has become of the other.
Because apart from the absence of the demon statue, even the normal statue shadow is gone.
There was nothing but a table covered with red cloth.
Xie Chen rubbed his eyes, for fear that he would not be able to see clearly, after all, in the eyes of the hooded girl, the statue did exist, but it was only the size of a finger.
"Will the more sober you are, the smaller you become?"
Xie Chen muttered in his heart, not to mention, there is indeed this possibility.
But now that the effect of the time pause of the pocket watch had disappeared, Xie Chen hurriedly pressed it again, and he was still some distance away from the red table where the statue was stored.
If you want to get from here to there, you'll have to press your pocket watch twice just to get close.
But it's not a big deal.
After pressing the pocket watch for the second time, Xie Chen also glanced at the two hat waiters closest to the door of the banquet hall.
The one staring at him, apparently, had fallen into a blindfold, not understanding why he had suddenly disappeared.
Xie Chen didn't delay much, and hurriedly ran towards the red table.
Halfway through, I realized that something was wrong.
I don't know why, every time I step on the ground, I feel that the ground is getting softer, and even a little bit like stepping on human skin.
"What's going on?"
Xie Chen hurriedly looked towards the ground, for fear that he would really step on the floor made of human skin.
But when I looked down, I found that there was no problem, and what I saw in front of me was a solid wooden floor.
But what went wrong?
Let every foot you step on feel like human skin?
Xie Chen was startled, as if he had thought of something, and quickly stood in place and took off his shoes.
It's good that I don't take it off, but as soon as I take it off, a lot of blood immediately oozes from the soles of my shoes, and a piece of wriggling flesh is acting as my own insole.
Xie Chen's whole person was stunned, his pupils were shrinking, and he didn't understand what was going on?
Could it be that he was also eroded by the "evil thoughts" in the banquet hall in silence?
But that's not right.
After all, this is not the first time I have been to the banquet hall.
If the erosion of evil thoughts is really so fast, then when will these guests present be able to leave this hotel?
And the evil thoughts are so strong that the mask waiter and the white-clothed cleaner will definitely not be able to keep it.
Xie Chen stabilized his state a little, and while the effect of the time of the pocket watch had just begun, he immediately chanted Buddhist scriptures in his mouth.
But it's okay not to read it, I just said it in my head.
There were many different sounds in my ears at once.
There were screams, screams, crying, and even invective.
These voices are all accompanied by each other, as if they can't stop.
Xie Chen only felt that his head was occupied by these sounds, and even got louder and louder, as if he was holding a horn and shouting next to his ear.
Even the eardrums began to tingle a little, and if this continued, it was estimated that even the ears would be deaf.
Xie Chen struggled to put the shoes back on his feet, and no longer cared whether it was an insole or a piece of flesh.
I'm fairly sober now, that's the only thing that's for sure.
Otherwise, you will already lose yourself and will not even be able to read the scriptures.
"Didn't you expect it to be so rich?"
Xie Chen covered his ears and complained in his mouth, but he didn't forget to continue to run towards the table where the statue was stored.
Although the speed was not fast, even under the influence of the sound, he almost crashed into those dining tables next to him.
But fortunately, as I stumbled and stopped reading the scriptures in my mouth, the sounds began to fade away.
But as soon as the scriptures in his mouth stopped, his head immediately had a familiar feeling of drowsiness, and the touch of the flesh under his feet became extremely obvious.
Xie Chen felt palpitations at every step.
The effect of the pocket watch stopping from time to time also disappeared at this time, and Xie Chen immediately pressed it without hesitation.
But when I came to the table, I found that there were no statues at all, not even the one that I thought might be the size of a thumb.
Xie Chen endured the increasingly serious feeling of drowsiness in his head, and because of the touch from his feet, there was even a little more blood stickiness.
I felt a little weak in my calves and thighs just by standing.
"How could it be gone?"
"What went wrong?"
Xie Chen put his hands on the table and muttered to himself in disbelief.
If it weren't for the hooded girl and the existence of the statue that she had seen with her own eyes before, she would now wonder if this thing was in the banquet hall.
Xie Chen shook his head laboriously, a little unwilling to believe it, and even began to mutter.
"No, something has definitely happened!"
"During the time I'm not in the ballroom, there's definitely changed even more!"
"Where the hell?"
"Where the hell is it?!"
Xie Chen yelled, as if something invisible was catalyzing his angry emotions, and this emotion even began to rush straight to his brain.
The more you think, the more unstable your emotions become.
Xie Chen shouted in pain, grabbed his hands on the table, and directly tore off the red cloth and threw it on the ground.
The effect of the fourth time stop is also disappearing.
The guests at the table closest to the table were eating their food, and while eating, a red strip of cloth was thrown on the table.
Cover the delicious food on top.
When these guests saw the red strip of cloth appearing on the table, the four or five people who were not sitting at the table, all had a scarlet in their eyes.
Immediately after, he began to fall to the ground and convulsed.
Xie Chen was covered in a cold sweat, and the dizziness of his mind and the serious discomfort under his feet had already made his spirit a little unbearable.
There are even many undead in this banquet hall that are invisible to the naked eye.
As long as you recite the Buddhist scriptures that are excessive, this is the speed that can counteract the erosion of evil thoughts.
But the undead around them who are affected by these verses will also make their own unbearable sounds.
Now I am in a dilemma, and I don't even have a good solution.
Originally, I thought that by mastering that small passage of scripture, I should be able to explore the unexplored area of this banquet hall.
But now it seems that he is indeed thinking too much.
Xie Chen turned his head and heard the screams of the guests at the surrounding tables.
After falling to the ground, the scarlet quickly took over the entire pair of eyes.
The guests twitched as they straightened up.
Maybe you noticed something strange here.
Even the hat waiter and the mask waiter rushed towards this direction.
I don't know why?
There are basically no waiters around this area.
The nearest ones are seven or eight meters away.
Only then did Xie Chen react, even if he guessed and calculated, it was very different from the real situation.
The current entry and exit are reflected in front of you.
