Midnight Restaurant

Chapter 22 The Land of Fear
"This...isn't this my hometown?"

Cheng Nan's words caught my attention, and I looked at him: "Huh? Your hometown?"

"Yeah... what's going on?" Cheng Nan looked around blankly, as if he had lost his memory, I raised my eyebrows, and wondered if this kid had a mental illness just now?As a result, you are now sober, so you are confused?Because I still can't figure out why this kid stabbed his wife with a knife.

In other words, doesn't he call himself a good Chinese husband?

"Ye Yan, what's going on?" Qiao Man moved to my side.

I look back, there is no ghost chasing me at this moment, so I can stop and think about it.As I said before, we are in the ghost land at the moment, which is a very dangerous place, and I don't know how powerful a ghost Cheng Nan's wife is. Is this an illusion?Or have we really arrived at a strange space.

Now, Cheng Nan said that this place is his hometown... I thought about it, glanced at Qiao Man, and said, "This is the ghost domain. It should be made by your teacher Cheng and his wife. I don't know what it is for. Generally speaking, it is to trap people to death in it, it is very fierce, basically people who die in Huangquan will have to endure unimaginable pain before death."

Qiao Man trembled even more now.

However, Yin Guoer's ability to adapt is really beyond my imagination. She didn't know when she walked around behind me and kicked my ass.

"Hey! Who?! No, little girl, you deserve a beating, right? Come, come, come!" I rolled my arms and sleeves, but the little girl didn't like me at all, she gave me a look, and hummed: " This kick is for you! Don’t think I don’t remember kicking my ass when you asked me to go out just now, and why are you scaring Manman? You know what ghost domain this is, so you just There is a way to tell it!"

This girl is quite vengeful!
But having said that, I really know how to get out of this ghost domain.

Didn't I say it before, in the past I also got angry with a very fierce ghost girl, trapped me in the ghost domain, and wanted to kill me.But in the end, I didn't die. In addition to the fact that the ghost girl was on the sidelines, there was another reason, that is, I found the exit of the ghost domain.That's right, this ghost domain has an exit, and the exit is easy to find, and difficult to find, it doesn't have any special signs, and there is only one condition to identify whether it is an exit from the ghost domain...

That's what the people trapped in it fear the most, the most terrified!

As for what happened to me back then, I won’t say much, it’s too watery to talk too much...

Turning back to the matter in front of me, I wondered, if Mummy trapped four people together, which one of the four of us was most afraid of this exit?

"Yes! Cheng Nan, this is your hometown, right? Just think about it. In your hometown, have you ever encountered any horrible things that you will never forget in your life? Tell me, where is that place? Let's hurry up Go!" I hurriedly looked at Cheng Nan, there is no other place in this ghost land, but it turned into Cheng Nan's hometown, presumably, this exit must also be related to Cheng Nan.

But Cheng Nan's eyes are very strange now, looking at me, and then at the two girls, he didn't mean to answer my words at all, but kept shaking his head: "Why... why did you come back here? How could this be... Qiao Man! Aren't you Are you saying that he is a ghost catcher? Didn’t you say that he is very powerful? Why is this so?!”

I was taken aback when I heard this, what do you mean?
"During the self-study that day, I mentioned you, and I mentioned it to Teacher Cheng..." Qiao Man explained at this time.

It turns out that Cheng Nan usually walks closer to the students. That day Qiao Man was chatting with her friends when she was careful, and she said that I was careful to catch ghosts for her, and Qiao Man was also sitting in the front row. , Cheng Nan also occasionally said a word, knowing about me.

At this time, I suddenly had a strange feeling in my heart. Could it be that Cheng Nan went to the proprietress restaurant to eat because he heard from Qiao Man that I could exorcise ghosts?
But that's not right, he obviously likes his wife so much, and he doesn't care what his wife looks like, so why use me to drive out ghosts indirectly...

Wait, using me indirectly?

I raised my eyebrows, is it possible that I am right?
At this time, a black figure suddenly appeared behind Cheng Nan, and my heart skipped a beat!Could it be that his wife came out again?Instinctively, I dragged the two girls beside me behind me. At this time, Yin Guoer was still not happy, so she kicked me with her little foot.I ignored her, and quickly gave Cheng Nan a look: "Cheng Nan, Teacher Cheng! You... There is someone behind you!"

Cheng Nan was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head, his face was even paler than before, completely paler!

"Who... who's behind me?" Cheng Nan turned his head slightly.

At this time, a withered old hand suddenly rested on Cheng Nan's shoulder!Cheng Nan's face was completely drained of color at that moment, and he took a step back as he turned around: "Who! You...you? You are..."

Cheng Nan was stunned, but his tone was obviously not as frightening as before, and I could tell that he seemed to have met some acquaintance!
I turned my head to look, hoo!I also breathed a sigh of relief, but it's not the female ghost from before, she's an old man, looking 70 or [-] years old, his eyes are quite energetic, but his face is a bit hidden, looking at Cheng Nan, and gradually grinning: "Hehe, this Isn't it Teacher Xiaocheng? What time is it, and you're off work?"

"Who are you?" Cheng Nan looked at the old man.

"I'm your opposite door, Uncle Zhang. What's the matter, Xiao Cheng? Are you uncomfortable?" As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand to touch Cheng Nan's forehead.

Cheng Nan shook his head and smiled: "No...it's okay, Uncle Zhang, is it you? I was blindfolded and didn't recognize it. It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time?"

"Isn't that right? My legs have been hurting for the past two days, and I just got down to take two steps... Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, let's go home quickly, the scent that comes out of the crack in your door is too craving, You are lucky to have such a good wife!" The old man chuckled, waved to Cheng Nan, and left.

Cheng Nan froze, looked at me, and asked, "Didn't you say, what kind of ghost land is this? Why did I meet someone I know?"

I raised my eyebrows, logically speaking, no?

Strange……

Thinking about it, I followed the old man's back with my gaze.At this time, Yin Guoer, who was naturally at odds with me, leaned her head close to me, and looked at the back of the old man leaving. This girl was also big-hearted, and she even sneered at me, mocking me: "Liar!" Sexy middle-aged man, what's wrong, right?"

"Get out, you must be right, the building behind us is gone, unless the three of us are collectively hallucinating... Eh? That's..."

I stared at the back of the old man until the old man walked under a streetlight ahead.

At that moment, my eyes widened, and under the street lamp, the old man was nowhere to be seen!

"Damn it... hey hey, look, girl!" As I said that, I tugged Yin Guoer, she said before, she bet with me whether she would be scared and regret it, but she lost in the end, so I decided , I will call her "daughter" from now on!

"Hey? Dead middle-aged man, who do you call boudoir... boudoir..."

Just when Yin Guoer was about to complain to me, she also looked at the street lamp at the same time. Maybe she didn't notice that there was no shadow under the old man's feet, but at this moment, everyone should be able to see that the old man not human.

Because he turned back.

A mouth split all the way to the ears, a pair of blood-red eyes, and a strange grin... Finally, that figure gradually disappeared!
"Ah ... oh! Woohoo ..." Yin Guoer screamed and asked me to cover my mouth halfway. I stared at her: "Don't call, this ghost may not know that he is a ghost, you want to give it He got sick with irritation and killed us, right?"

At this time, Cheng Nan seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly said stiffly: "Ah! No... no, this... this old man, I remembered, he is not my neighbor, and Yao Yun should live opposite me. He was... my neighbor a few years ago... my neighbor in my hometown, and he, he died a long time ago."

"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?" I sneered at Yin Guoer.

Yin Guoer hit me again with her small fist: "Stop messing around! Are you happy? Find a way, middle-aged man! That's all you know here. Didn't you say that Huangquan can go out?" ? How to get out?"

Speaking of which, I set my sights on Cheng Nan.

"Look at what I do?"

"You are the key to getting out. You know this place, and the way to leave the ghost domain is to find the place that the trapped people fear the most. The three of us have never been to this place, so it must be you."

Cheng Nan was taken aback: "Me? The place you fear the most?"

I nodded: "Yes, think about it."

Cheng Nan smiled at this time and looked at me: "Your words are really interesting. What is fear? When I watch horror movies, I am scared every time. Are we going to the cinema?"

I thought about it, obviously it wouldn't be a movie theater...

"Ah, this..."

Cheng Nan looked at me: "I don't think you have anything else to do?"

He still despises me?I haven't figured it out yet, why do you indirectly use me to get rid of your wife ghost, and you still despise me?Well, I'm so despised. I really don't understand the matter of Huangquan.

But according to my first experience, I just found out what I was afraid of. As for that fear... I thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a few things for Cheng Nan: "Well, the so-called fear is not necessarily a horror movie. , and it doesn’t necessarily have to be a scary picture, do you understand? It may be about... Hey, yes, guilt! I have done guilty things, or I have hurt important people because of what I did. These things, It is often easier to engrave in people's hearts than scary pictures, and after many years, these are the scariest memories..."

Before I could finish the two words, Cheng Nan looked at me with a sneer: "Am I guilty? What would I feel guilty about?"

Why is this kid still reacting so strongly?
I was puzzled, and when I was wondering, I vaguely saw Cheng Nan's eyes and face constantly changing. After waiting for a long time, just when Yin Guoer, the girl, couldn't wait, she came to flirt with me again , Cheng Nan suddenly turned around, looked at the three of us and said, "Okay, I thought of a place, come with me."
