Midnight Restaurant

Chapter 57 The Mire of Desire

Facing the questioning from the proprietress, I was speechless and could only say awkwardly: "Actually, I was delaying time. Look...they begged me to play."

"But I found that they are quite afraid of you?" The proprietress looked at me with a smile.

I was equally speechless.

At this time, the proprietress suddenly turned her eyes to Yin Guoer, who was on the side, and said, "Look, I'll just say, he'll be fine. This kid is acting weird."

Yin Guoer looked at me suspiciously, then at the two trembling villains, her little brows frowned.

At this moment, I was taken aback. It stands to reason that the proprietress, a girl who seems to be an inhuman, shouldn't be traveling so slowly. Could it be that she came late on purpose?
Yin Guoer approached me at this time: "Really, you are fine. It seems that Sister Lan is right. You have a problem. No wonder Sister Lan never let me go quickly. Last time, she left me and said she would try you……"

I suddenly had black lines all over my face.

Do not let go quickly?Last stay?The last time my relationship asked me to send this girl off, did I know she was a ghost?

Try me too... Oh yes, I suddenly remembered that after I was frightened by the executioner last time, the proprietress was suspicious of me.Could it be that everything I said casually was for her, that I was just hiding my identity, did she take it seriously?

"It's not the lady boss. Listen to my explanation. In fact... I'm very weak."

Saying that, I purposely softened my feet.

The proprietress smiled: "Is that so? I've seen through everything, and you still pretend to be... Well, let's play slowly."

I have black lines all over my face, what am I playing?

But the proprietress threw my question aside after all. At this time, her eyes fell on the two ghosts behind me.The little ghost just saw me discard the cards, and it trembled, and now it keeps shrinking back: "Forgive...forgive me, the little one knows his mistake, the little one has been a ghost for 300 years, and he has just become a ghost king for ten years. It is not easy to practice. I also hope that adults..."

"It's not easy. After killing so many people, you became the ghost king ten years ago? Even if you are given another 1000 years, you can't become a demon. You're still a ghost. What's the point of living? The proprietress is sitting on the table, leaning sideways, a pair of beautiful legs in black leather pants are in front of my eyes...

Cough cough, of course my eyes moved decisively to the injury of the proprietress, she took out the knife and dragged the little devil's chin with the tip of the knife.

"You...what are you going to do, I...I just made an agreement with this lord, as long as...as long as he keeps fighting the Landlord, he...will not kill me!"

"Is this the case?" The proprietress looked back at me.

I raised my eyebrows: "That..."

I was just about to say that this is casual talk, as long as you are happy, lady boss, you can do whatever you want.

In the end, Sister Lan turned her head and glanced at the kid, "He can't speak well, I'm his boss."

"No...not...don't, my lord! Please spare me, my lord, I am willing to be your ghost slave! I..."

"Crazy, can I use you?" Saying that, the landlady's small silver knife poked forward, and then slipped quickly. When the knife was retracted, wisps of black air followed the trajectory of the knife and penetrated into the blade .

And that kid, he didn't seem to be in pain, he was still a little dazed when the knife left him.Seeing the black stars in front of his eyes all the time, and feeling his body diverging a little bit, he realized that this is... the soul is flying away!
"no no!!"

The kid screamed, but all the black stars had already entered Du Youlan's small silver knife.

Afterwards, the proprietress picked up the small silver knife and put it in front of her eyes, looked at it for a while, and shook her head: "It's all repetitive things, and it pollutes my knife, damn it."

I raised my eyebrows, and it was still as clean and tidy as ever!What kind of knife is this knife, and who is the proprietress?
I muttered in my heart.

And just as I was muttering in my heart, the proprietress suddenly turned her eyes to Mo Xiaoyi who was aside, with an indifferent smile on her lips, her neck was slightly lowered, and she looked condescendingly at Mo Xiaoyi, who was half lying on the ground and trembling: "Ghost, I haven't seen this kind of ghost for a long time... What is your deal, tell me, what wish has he fulfilled for you?"

"I... I was wrong, please... please let me go." Mo Xiaoyi bit her lower lip.

"Ghosts, dealing with ghosts, helping ghosts and harming people, is a heinous crime. But I am not a executioner, and I have no interest in killing ghosts. My knife has absorbed a dirty soul, and I don't want to absorb a second one today. So, now Well, I give you two choices, come to my restaurant, I will invite you to eat, after eating, you can let go of everything that little devil gave you, even your body will recover, just like ordinary people, There is no need to be a living dead without internal organs. The second is to die by my knife. How do you choose?"

I was taken aback, do I still need to ask this question?
There is no need to be a living dead, and now she can still live, so she must choose the first one, unless she is brain-dead.

But I didn't expect that Mo Xiaoyi hesitated and looked at the proprietress: "Let... let go of everything he gave me, yes, what do you mean?"

"It's all back to how it was before."

"That means... some wishes will be invalidated, right?"

The proprietress nodded.

Mo Xiaoyi's expression suddenly became haggard. She seemed to be more than ten years old. What I saw just now is that she is obviously greedy for life and afraid of death, and I guess she also understands that she has committed a heinous crime and is afraid of the threat of hell.But at this moment, she actually made a decision that I couldn't think of.

"Then... please kill me."

"You don't regret it?"

"No regrets, just... don't let everything change, thank you."

The proprietress sighed, took out the knife she had put away, walked up to Mo Xiaoyi, and mercilessly stabbed the knife into Mo Xiaoyi's chest.

Mo Xiaoyi's expression burst into pain, and I even saw the fear in her eyes that made my heart chill. She was afraid, and didn't know what she would become after her soul was broken, where she would go, or whether she would go. exist.

But she eventually disappeared.

Then, the proprietress picked up the knife and muttered softly: "Greed, hatred, jealousy... eh? There is another emotion that is difficult to understand."

"Sister Lan, I don't understand, she wants to commit suicide because of Mao?"

In fact, I have known Du Youlan for a long time, and there are not many ghosts who really died at her hands, most of them committed suicide.

So I don't understand, you are a ghost, what else can't you think about?

The proprietress smiled and said: "The quagmire of hatred, jealousy, and desire will swallow everything, making people unable to extricate themselves, distorting people's souls little by little, people are no longer humans, but ghosts. But... the first thing that makes people step into the quagmire is What? The first wish she never wanted to invalidate."

"What?" I raised an eyebrow.

"I just saw a baby in her eyes before she disappeared. She was born with a disease and probably won't live to be one year old. Her first wish is to let the baby grow up healthily."

baby?I froze for a moment, then immediately thought of Mo Xiaoyi's child...

The proprietress continued: "In the beginning, she should have agreed to be a ghost to save the baby, but it's a pity..."

I looked up: "What a pity?"

"It's a pity that you are just a dead baby. She has been acting as a ghost. The mother's yin energy can easily invade the child. The child has been with the living dead every day since birth. It is both yin energy and corpse energy. It’s fine, but it’s impossible to grow up. And at this moment, the source of Yin Qi and Corpse Qi is dead, and it should have turned into a baby ghoul.”

I raised my eyebrows: "I'll go... will that hurt people?"

"of course."

"Come on, hurry up, I know where the baby is, and there's an old lady!"

As I said that, I didn't care about the embarrassment I had just faced with the proprietress, so I dragged the proprietress and Yin Guoer away from this chaotic bar full of evil spirits.After going out, we took a taxi and drove for about half an hour before arriving at the residential area during the day, where Mo Xiaoyi delivered milk powder to the child.

She usually finds an old lady to take care of the child, and when she has something to do at night, the old lady will also take care of the child and put the child to sleep, so at this moment...

It's still too late now.

When the proprietress and I arrived, the room was already filled with the smell of blood. In the narrow hut, in a dark corner, a little baby was lying on something, twitching and gnawing on something.

I turned on the phone and looked ahead, it was the corpse of the old lady during the day.

"I go……"

Still a step too late.

And the light of my mobile phone also attracted the attention of the baby ghoul. It turned around, its head was bulging, its mouth was full of blood, its eyes were red, and it rushed towards the three of us like a beast.

I wanted to stop the little thing, but the proprietress was one step ahead of me and grabbed the little thing by the neck. I thought the proprietress was going to strangle him, but the proprietress suddenly opened her mouth.

At that time, I was startled and my eyes widened: "I'll go, sister Lan, what are you doing? Are you eating children?!"

The proprietress didn't speak, she just gave me a blank look, and then I saw a puff of black air coming out of the child's body, and it all got into the proprietress' mouth, just like black ink.

I was very surprised.

But what surprised me even more was that after all this last night, the baby with a head full of bruises returned to normal, blinking its big eyes, and burst into tears.

Weeping pitifully, it is estimated that he saw someone he was not familiar with.

And when all the black air entered the mouth of the proprietress, she even showed a satisfied expression on her face, gently licked her sexy lower lip, and at the same time handed the child to me: "Hold."

I took the child, but I was still confused: "Sister Lan, you just..."

"I ate its yin and corpse qi, and it tastes good, with a baby smell. I really want to eat this little thing, but think about it, it's too small, and the yin and corpse qi There are not too many attacks. Presumably the mother of the child must have felt something abnormal, so she doesn't get close to the child very often. Fortunately, the child can still live like this."
