Midnight Restaurant

Chapter 33
I walked out of the locker room, and was surprised to find that the old man who was talking to the proprietress in the restaurant and who was called a foreigner by the proprietress turned out to be the previous owner of the haunted house!

At that time, I was taken aback, why did this old man come to the restaurant?What did those dialogues mean?

At this moment, the proprietress looked at the old man and said, "Hehe, do you want to do something now? Can bullying me beat you?"

The old man sneered, as if he wanted to say something, but at this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on me. At that moment, our eyes met, and the awkward aura on the old man disappeared suddenly, and then stared at me. Big eyes: "Why are you here?!"

Why am I so surprised by this old thing? Isn’t it because I cheated you of 1000 yuan, or you promised it yourself.

Didn't you come to me to deny it, and want to get the money back?
So, I spoke very hard: "Me? What's wrong with me here? I'm working here. It's a coincidence, sir. Are you here for dinner?"

The proprietress was taken aback, she looked back at me, and found that my tone was arrogant, she looked back at the old man, and then asked me: "Do you know him?"

"Ah, I went to his haunted house once." I responded.

"You..." Now the proprietress was even more stunned, she even looked at me in horror, she finally shook her head and smiled, and turned her eyes to the old man: "This is just the most common waiter here, why, fight?"

The old man's expression froze, and he smiled at the proprietress: "I have something to do tonight, tell Shao Zun, if you have anything to talk about, come talk to me tomorrow, and leave."

After finishing speaking, he didn't even eat the steak, so he left.

So it looks like this old man didn't come to ask me for money.Oh yes, I vaguely remembered that he was looking for that black suit named Shao Zun when he talked to the proprietress just now.

Wait a minute, that black suit is not a normal person, oh yes, neither is the proprietress, this restaurant is not.Well, if this old man didn't come to ask me for money, then...

I seem to have suddenly thought of something not so good.

He came to this restaurant to eat? !

I'll go, the proprietress said, there are no normal people who come to this restaurant to eat!

My heart skipped a beat, so why is Yin Guoer working part-time next to someone who doesn't know if it's a person, a ghost, or a living corpse?She didn't answer my call last night, could it be...

I immediately became worried, took a look at the door of the restaurant, and found that it was already dark outside, but the old man who had just left was nowhere to be seen.This is going too fast, right?
At this time, the voice of the proprietress suddenly came from behind me: "Young man, what are you looking at?"

I was startled, the sound was very close, and when I looked back, the lady boss's flawless face was almost close to me, and I almost smashed the glass door behind me.

"I'll go, Sister Lan, you scared me... I didn't see anything, the old man just now, I realized later, isn't he? What is he doing?"

Originally, the proprietress should also come to ask me something, but I spoke first, she thought about it, and answered my question first.

"He, he is doing business with acquaintances."

Acquaintance business?

My head pondered for a while, could it be that this means that people I know are specifically cheating money?

Wait a minute, why did I tremble when I heard these four words, acquaintance business?acquaintance?
"The acquaintances I'm talking about are not the acquaintances you think, but real acquaintances." Du Youlan added at this time.

"Fuck..."

I just thought of it, an acquaintance...Did you mean an acquaintance?

I looked at the proprietress.

I don't need to talk, the proprietress just smiled: "You are quite smart, boy, I am optimistic about you."

"No, lady boss, don't tease me, explain clearly, what is he doing? Don't be kidding, I'm in a hurry." I stared into the eyes of the lady boss.

The proprietress also looked at me suspiciously at this time, and said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? Didn't you all leave him? What are you afraid of?"

"I left, but my friend is there, working! It's the little girl you saw last time."

"Part-time job?" The proprietress looked at me suspiciously.

I felt that if I told the proprietress in this way, the proprietress could not understand, so I told the proprietress what happened in the middle of the night, and after I finished telling the proprietress, I asked again: "Later, that girl didn't answer my phone. Okay, I'll go, can't something happen? What do you mean by acquaintance business? He cooked people and ate them?"

"That's not true, he doesn't eat, but the things in his murals need to be eaten."

My heart skipped a beat, what's the difference?
"It's not Sister Lan. Now you can help me. Follow me to the old man's place. If nothing happens to my friend, help me get him back. I'll give you three months for nothing, okay?"

The proprietress smiled: "The condition you mentioned is quite attractive, but it's a pity, he won't buy my account, it's useless if I go."

I had black lines all over my face at the time, you obviously don't want to help, right?
However, when I beg for help, my attitude can't be bad, so I laughed dryly: "Then you give me an idea? And who is that old man?"

"Actually, it's not difficult to notice. I think it's easy for you to want someone. You just need to talk to that old guy, because I think...he's afraid of you."

The last three words made me stunned, afraid of me?Is this an insinuation that I am ugly?
"I don't understand..." I shook my head.

"Okay, let me explain to you. I don't know what the old thing should be called. I only know that he is not a native thing. He is half angel and half demon. And his haunted house is a little hell, only sinful people, You said where you went to play, so you have the sins he identified on you, but I don’t know what it is. In addition, his little hell doesn’t really exist. For example, it’s like a window of hell , let you see the foot of hell, so as long as you lure the demon out, then you will be fine."

"Then how do you draw the devil out?" I looked at the proprietress curiously.

"Screams of fear, that's what the devil likes. I've been to that haunted house too, and he told me the rules, but I was scared and didn't dare to go in. Because I'm also guilty, and the sin is serious, who knows if there are any ghosts in hell? People can pull me down, but if I end up in hell for no reason, then it will be a loss."

At that time, my mood was complicated. It turned out that what I saw was not an employee, but a picture reflected in hell, shall I go?

Hell is also disgusting enough, and, fortunately, I didn't scream at the beginning. Does this mean that as long as I scream, I will be dragged to hell by the devil?

"Then why do you say he is afraid of me?" Of course, this is also the question I am most concerned about.

"Hehe, let me ask you, what do you say that people are guilty and sinful, but they will not be frightened by the sight of hell and demons?"

I raised my eyebrows: "I don't know..."

The landlady's face was full of black lines, she shook her head and smiled, approached me, raised her slender fingers and touched my forehead, then with a strange smile on her lips, she whispered to me: "That person...is a devil."

I suddenly realized.

But quickly shook his head: "No, I am a human being, because I have been..."

"Okay, I know, but he doesn't know. He only thinks you are a demon now. And demons are Western things. I don't know much about them. I only know that ordinary demons are not capable of normal activities in the human world. They are all attached to the human body, and they are rarely able to gain the initiative. To harm others is to bewitch their hearts and make people seek their own death. Only very powerful and powerful demons can use their own bodies to exist in the world. If the old man It's not half angel, half demon, he can't do it either. So he thinks you are a very powerful demon."

"I'll go... that's all, all right, Sister Lan, what is love, right? I wonder one thing, how can I save my friend?"

Du Youlan fiddled with the small silver knife, thought for a while, and suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked at me: "Did you listen to me? I told you, he is afraid of you."

"Well...and then what?"

"Then you go to find him and tell him directly, old shit, that girl is dead or alive, hand it over alive, if she is dead...you can bury her with her. I guess he will be scared to pee by you of."

I have black lines all over my face, can I pretend to be aggressive if I dare to love you?

"That's fine, thank you boss!" After I finished speaking, I left.When I was about to go out, the proprietress seemed to want to drag me, but I ran away without touching me. It seems that there is still something to say to me, right?I was also a little anxious at the time, I didn't care at all, and ran out without thinking.

Then I ran for a few streets, and I was a little confused.

why?

Damn, I got lost and I went...

What should I do, I was impatient and confused, but I couldn't find the sparsely populated and dark street last night.No way, I suddenly remembered that the proprietress had something to tell me just now, did she mean this?

At that time, without saying a word, I was going back to the restaurant.

But when I got to the restaurant, I found that the proprietress had locked the door.

I'll go, by the way, I don't know the boss's phone number yet?This is how to do……

"Yes! Go to that girl's house first, maybe she'll be home soon, the proprietress said, you'll be fine if you don't go to the haunted house, that girl is just a welcome guest." Thinking of this, I hurried to Qiao Man and Yin Guoer's shared rent floor.

When I went upstairs to Qiao Man's house, I found that the door of their house was open.

Without further ado, I went upstairs directly, walked in, and saw a beautiful girl in pajamas head-on, screamed ah, then threw that thing at me, and wanted to call the police.

It was only after Qiao Man came out that she rescued me. It turned out that the person was the third roommate of Qiao Man and Yin Guoer.

I didn't ask what it was called. Now I'm mainly looking for Yin Guoer, and I smiled when I saw Qiao Man: "Manman, where is Yin Guoer's little girl, did you come back last night? And you opened the door this morning what?"

"Guo'er? I don't know. Speaking of which, I didn't see her all day yesterday...Huh? Why did you come to my house to look for Guo'er in the early morning?"

Qiao Man looked puzzled when she spoke.

But I was dumbfounded: "You... what are you talking about? You didn't see that girl all day yesterday? Isn't that right, didn't you have something to do at home yesterday?"

"Who said something happened to my family? I've been in the dormitory... What's wrong with you? It's weird."
