Midnight Restaurant

Chapter 28 Hypocrisy and Guilt

I was startled when Cheng Nan stabbed the proprietress with the knife in his hand.

Although the knife in the proprietress's hand is quite powerful, she is a woman after all, and Cheng Nan's body is so good in all aspects. At that time, I thought the proprietress would definitely be stabbed to death. I was anxious but there was nothing I could do, so I complained about the crisis of the proprietress Time, what B are you pretending to be? !

As a result, the claws of reality kept slapping my delicate facial skin.

It was very loud, just like the proprietress flicked Cheng Nan's narrow kitchen knife away with the small silver knife in her hand!hum!The kitchen knife stuck into the wall, Cheng Nan was dumbfounded.

At the same time, the countless long hairs of the female ghost pressed down by Cheng Nan wrapped around Cheng Nan's neck.

Cheng Nan's eyes widened: "Stop...stop! You stop...you bastard! Tong Xiaoyue! You won't let me go even if you die, will you?!"

I hurried to the proprietress's side, pulled the two girls beside me by the way, and when I stood firm, I asked the proprietress: "Hey, sister Lan, why did you come to deliver the food? He called?"

"I delivered food by the way. No one called for food. It was mainly to save you."

I have black lines all over my face, but the proprietress is amazing, she actually knew something was going to happen to me.

But no matter what, the proprietress is here, I think we should be safe.The proprietress's skills completely blown Cheng Nan's scumbag, and the proprietress's small silver knife was feared by all the ghosts.So this perverted couple can only fight each other now.But right now, there is another problem. I looked at the proprietress and asked, "Don't you need to pull it?"

The proprietress ignored me, and walked to the two of them, and walked to the two of them again. At this moment, Tong Xiaoyue's Tongfa had strangled Cheng Nan's neck deeply, and the blood had already seeped out. Cheng Nan's face was terrified, Constant struggle.

Seeing the proprietress looking at him, he stretched out his hand: "Help me...help me!"

"It's easy to save you. For this beef stew, you pay, or she pays, or you pay together."

I almost fell down, is this just a joke?Paying the bill can save lives, this woman really regards money as her life.But after a long time, I gradually realized that the checkout mentioned by the proprietress is not the same as the checkout in the normal sense.

Just like at this moment, when the torn couple heard what the proprietress said, they raised their heads at the same time, looked at the fragrant potato beef stew, but frowned at the same time, and both shook their heads: "No...don't!"

"Why bother, everyone gets what they need, you put it down, and I can pick up what you put down. And you don't have to fight to the death, do you?" The proprietress looked at the two with a smile.

But I can't understand at all, let go of what?You can put it down after paying the bill for Mao.

"I won't let it go...I won't let it go..." Cheng Nan shook his head.

The proprietress smiled: "Actually, you already understand, Cheng Nan, you are dead."

died?I was taken aback, it's impossible, Cheng Nan is obviously alive, he has a shadow.

"I didn't...I didn't!!" Cheng Nan yelled.

"Okay, as long as you're happy, you can say what you like. Now I give you three choices, one is to stay here forever, guarding your rotten body, the other is to settle the bill, and the third is to die under my knife .”

Cheng Nan looked here, at the beef, and at the proprietress' knife.

At the same time, the female ghost's hair seemed to gradually loosen a lot. She also looked at Cheng Nan, as if waiting for Cheng Nan's answer.I can tell that the female ghost seems to be looking forward to it.

At this time, Cheng Nan turned his gaze to the female ghost, and said to the female ghost, "Let go of me. Although I don't want to buy it, I also don't want to die. I choose to stay here."

The female ghost looked at Cheng Nan: "Okay...then I will stay and continue to revenge you...make you regret..."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the female ghost let go of Cheng Nan as expected.

But the moment the female ghost let go of Cheng Nan, Cheng Nan suddenly rushed towards the proprietress, and my heart skipped a beat. Is this grandson planning to sneak attack the proprietress?
But it turned out I was wrong.

It wasn't a sneak attack, but just like the black and red eyes, it ran into the proprietress's small silver knife.

At that moment, Cheng Nan didn't scream, but the female ghost let out a heart-piercing howl: "No! Don't! Don't!!"

I raised my eyebrows, what is this for?
The proprietress sighed: "Is this your choice?"

Cheng Nan's face paled: "Yeah... that's the only choice I can make."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Nan closed his eyes, and white light scattered from his body, which penetrated into the proprietress' knife.The proprietress took a look: "This time it's... hypocrisy? Wait, it's interesting, there are still two kinds."

I didn't understand, and Qiao Man and Yin Guoer beside me were also confused.

When I regained my composure, I hurried to the proprietress's side and pushed her: "Sister Lan, you killed someone..."

"Crazy, he is not human, you go and take off his clothes yourself."

Clothes lifted?I wondered why the proprietress asked me to lift the clothes of a man's corpse, but the proprietress's eyes were firm, and I was also curious why the proprietress said that Cheng Nan was dead.So, I went to the body and lifted the clothes.I went, and I saw a huge opening twenty centimeters long and three centimeters wide!

Right on Cheng Nan's stomach!

It was filled with cotton, and the cotton was stained red with blood.

He... what is he doing?
I was stunned, and the proprietress said quietly at this time: "A month ago, Cheng Nan committed suicide because he couldn't stand the female ghost who had been pestering him for seven years. In the past seven years, he was almost driven crazy, so he chose The way of suicide is very painful seppuku. But he did not expect that even after death, the female ghost would still haunt him. So he borrowed his own corpse, revived his soul, became a living corpse, and heard from his students that Ye Yan told the story about your ability to exorcise ghosts, so I hope to use you to get rid of the female ghost who has been haunting him for seven years."

I nodded, this is the case, it turned out to be... Damn it!Mom, you said it wasn't a ghost!Resurrecting the soul with a dead body, isn't this a ghost?What the hell is a living corpse?Sister Lan, is it interesting for you to lie to me like this? !
I roared in my heart, but I still put on a smile to Sister Lan: "Miss Boss, is there no normal living people to eat in our restaurant?"

The proprietress gave me a gentle smile: "That's right, otherwise you think why I pay you such a high salary."

Immediately my face was covered in black lines.

At this time, the female ghost that we had forgotten suddenly floated up faintly, and said in a very small, fragile and helpless voice: "I didn't expect...even if he chooses to die...he doesn't choose to continue with me... Together...it turns out that he bothers me so much..."

"What about you, choose one of the three, which one do you choose?" Du Youlan looked at the female ghost.

The female ghost walked to the box of takeaway and said, "I'll pay..."

After finishing speaking, the female ghost picked up the takeaway, but did not pay for it. Instead, she opened the box, picked up the chopsticks with her hair, and ate it mouthful. When she chewed the food, two things came out of her body, One is the same dots of white light as before Cheng Nan died, and the other is tears.

When the female ghost ate all her body, her rotting limbs turned into a cloud of dust, and a white light rose from the dust. She returned to the way we first met in the ghost world, but the sadness on her face But it didn't decrease by half.She came to the proprietress's side, nodded and smiled at the proprietress: "Thank you..."

After finishing speaking, he walked along the door behind the proprietress.

"No, I didn't understand, what's going on?" I looked at the proprietress.

"Want to hear it?" The proprietress looked at me.

I nodded.

So, while packing the lunch box, the proprietress said: "For them, staying here is to continue their hatred, and eating takeaway is to let go of their obsessions, and this takeaway also represents their past taste. Smell it, there is still food in the kitchen." Fragrance. Cheng Nan had an affair seven or eight years ago, and his wife found out after the affair, so he killed her, but in fact, all kinds of troubles in life have made Cheng Nan have a long-standing grudge against his wife. So this ending may be inevitable. And his wife In fact, although she is pestering Cheng Nan, revenge is one aspect, and another reason is that she cannot leave Cheng Nan, and even said that she is afraid that he will be lonely..."

Speaking of this, the proprietress packed up the lunch box, came to me, and continued: "...Stay here, Cheng Nan and his wife will continue to have endless hatred, but at the same time they will be together forever, so Cheng Nan has no choice This, and he didn't choose to let go of it at the same time. There is a secret here that I didn't tell his wife. I just collected two things from Cheng Nan, one is hypocrisy, and the other is guilt. I guess he doesn't want to let go, but he doesn't Put your face down. That's why I chose to die. As for my wife, she wanted Cheng Nan to stay, but she just wanted to use a twisted method to continue to be with him, so Cheng Nan died, and she naturally wouldn't stay here .”

Damn... the proprietress said a lot, but I didn't understand it at all.

Sure enough, am I a language barrier?
But I still nodded pretendingly: "Oh... so that's the case, I understand."

"Hey, Ye Yan..." The proprietress suddenly turned around.

"What order, Miss Lan?"

"You look cute pretending to be B."

Immediately my face was covered in black lines.

Afterwards, I left Ghost Domain with the proprietress and the two girls. When I came out, I was surprised to find that we were still in Qiao Man and Yin Guoer's dormitory, and we hadn't moved.So here comes the question, is that ghost domain just our illusion?Or parallel space?

I think it should be a parallel space, because Cheng Nan disappeared, and we didn't bring out his body just now.

"Sister... restaurant proprietress, you... are you so good?" Qiao Man said something suddenly, which attracted my attention. Yin Guoer was also cautious and stared at the proprietress suspiciously.

"Oh yes, it's a little troublesome." The proprietress rubbed her head.

After finishing a sentence, he walked towards me and these two girls.When I saw the strange eyes of the proprietress, I suddenly remembered a foreign movie!
People who do this kind of mysterious occupation that is unbelievable to ordinary people, and even cause panic, usually carry a small stick, right?With a flash of the stick, the memories of these two girls disappeared, and everything just now was forgotten!
I guessed it must be so, so I quickly closed my eyes: "Miss Boss, I'm ready, just flash them!"

As a result, the proprietress was taken aback, and came up to me and slapped my face: "Young man, you have watched too many movies. I came here to tell you..."

Saying that, the proprietress approached me, I'll go!At that time, my heart was surging, and I was fascinated by the faint fragrance and Yujie's breath, but soon, I was also confused, because the proprietress whispered something in my ear: "Fudge them both. In other words, don’t cause trouble for me, I know you are very good at pretending and bragging, come on, boy.”
