Midnight Restaurant

Chapter 90 The Corpse Is Missing

After listening to the ins and outs of what Han Le told us, we came to the old locust tree again. On the way, Han Le returned the proprietress's knife to me. The reason why she took this knife , because I saw me hurt the tree demon with a knife yesterday, and wanted to use this thing to protect myself.

I took the knife and despised this girl for a long time.

Then we were ready to dig a hole. At this moment, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.When I came to this old locust tree, I don't know why the sky became darker for some reason, and the children who were playing around here before all went home.

When I looked at the sky, it felt as if it was going to rain, but the shade seemed to have passed through a pile of ghosts a few times.

Could it be that the big tree also felt something?
However, those children had nothing to do with playing here before, presumably, this tree can't make any big waves during the day.

So, I carried the shovel and said to Han Le, "Where did you bury Xin Qianyu?"

Han Le walked up to me tremblingly, glanced at the tree, she walked to the side of the tree, which was the side with the names of the customers, and then walked towards me seven steps, not too big or too small, and said: "Just... ...This is here. However, if you dig it out, will you really not hand it over to the police? Really not?"

"Let's talk about it." I hummed angrily, mainly because my shoulder was getting more and more painful.

Yin Guoer also took a small shovel and dug with me. Qiao Man was in charge of holding Han Le to prevent her from escaping.As a result, we dug from more than four o'clock to 05:30, and we didn't dig anything!
In other words, in order to save my life, I really worked hard, and the physical strength of this little devil, Yin Guoer, is nothing to say.The two of us dug almost one meter deep for more than an hour, but there was nothing under there except the whiskers of the tree roots.

"No, are you kidding us?" I looked at Han Le, a little annoyed.

Han Le's eyes were still bloodshot, and he shook his head vigorously: "I didn't, I really didn't... I was really buried here, could it be... someone else dug it out?! Why, how could this happen? Will the person who leaves her call the police? Will I be safe? I'm only 20 years old, and I..."

Seeing how she was pulling her hair in a panic, I knew that she was not lying.

Where did the body go?
I'm confused...

In the end, I thought about it for a long time, but I really couldn't think of a reason, so I squatted on the ground and watched the hole I dug out. To be honest, I really don't think that people can be buried here.The girl Xin Qianyu just let some blood out, and Han Le didn't dismember her body or anything, and the pit is full of special tree roots, how to bury people?

Unless all the roots of this tree are cut off, or the roots haven't grown when they are buried.

Wait, didn't they grow roots when they were buried?

I was taken aback suddenly, stood up and looked at the old locust tree in front of me, seven steps away from here, can the roots grow so far?
I looked at the tree carefully, filled with black air, thinking about what Han Le told me about Xin Qianyu's soul being swallowed by the tree.Then I thought of the proprietress asking me to pay attention, are there any other details last night...details?
have!There really are!
But I almost forgot, I stabbed that tree yesterday, and then splashed my blood back!At that time, I was still confused, why is the tree still bleeding?Not only that, but the blind ghost has been chasing me, saying that I smell something, is it because of the blood?I don't know why my brain is so bright, but at this moment, I made a bold assumption that the roots moved the corpse from the bottom, and then the corpse was swallowed into the tree!

"Come on, I'm really a genius..." Thinking of this, I raised my eyebrows and approached the tree: "Guoer, Manman, I know, that person... probably is in the tree."

"Ah? In the tree?" Yin Guoer came to me curiously, I nodded, took out the knife that Han Le gave me just now, and prepared to stab the tree.

I nodded, and picked up the dagger in my hand to stab the tree!
And at this moment, I suddenly felt a cloudy wind coming from all directions, which made me tremble all over. I looked up at the sky, and it seemed to be more cloudy than before. What's going on?I looked at the sky in wonder, and my hand hesitated.

At this moment, Yin Guoer and Qiao Man beside me didn't speak, but Han Le asked me in surprise, "You...why don't you stab?"

"Huh? It's okay, I think the weather is a bit weird." I shook my head.

The next moment, I raised the knife and finally stabbed it in!

At the moment of piercing in, I heard Han Le's long sigh of relief, I raised my eyebrows, she felt relieved for Mao?But the next moment, I immediately felt something was wrong.Why didn't the blood splash back this time?Moreover, last night, I stabbed very hard, but today, why is it so easy?
I raised my head in doubt, and looked at the small silver knife in my hand that was pierced into the tree trunk. At that time, my eyeballs almost flew out...

That's no small silver knife, it's just a dead tree branch!

What about the knife?Why can this branch stick into the trunk?Soon, I discovered the problem, the trunk pierced by the branch gradually split open, and opened a bloody mouth to face me!
The next moment, I heard a burst of soft laughter, the laughter gradually became louder, I turned around, and suddenly found that Han Le was very close to me, but she was different from before, her eyes were green, staring at me, There was a sinister smile in his mouth: "Hehe, did you fall into the trick?"

Fuck?This woman is not human!

The next moment, I felt a tingling pain in the palm of my hand, and I looked back, well, the tree branch actually took root and sprouted in my hand!Yin Guoer realized that the situation was not good, and immediately prepared to come over to help me, but we immediately stretched out branches from the top of our heads, and the branches formed tentacles, binding Yin Guoer tightly!
"Hey! Hey! Let me go! Damn..."

Yin Guoer yelled over there, my face was full of black lines, and I always wanted to complain about one thing, Yin Guoer is definitely the most useless demon in hell, bar none...

After Yin Guoer was arrested, Qiao Man and other ordinary girls were not spared either. The three of us were all firmly controlled by this old locust tree.

Looking at Han Le who was walking in front of me with a sneer, I frowned and gritted my teeth: "What the hell are you?!"

"I'm Han Le, but...it's not Han Le anymore. Ye Yan, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with you. I just want to kill Manman. But she must ask you for help. There is no other way, I just want to I can kill you by the way...Actually, I didn't think you were capable at first, but I didn't expect that you even hurt the human face tree yesterday. Since you are so powerful, I naturally want to find a foolproof way. How about it, my acting skills are good Right? Now, do you have any other means? Oh yes, I just took the wrong knife, this knife is yours, right? What I gave you is the introduction to the tree spirit given to me by the Human Face Tree."

What is a dryad primer?I don't know, I just know that once this thing is inserted, the tree will come alive!
And the next moment, Han Le took out the proprietress's small silver knife and fiddled with it in front of me.

"Hey, hey, ladies, calm down, we have something to talk about, right? Let's... let's not be impulsive, what, hey, what are you doing?" The silver knife was pressed against my neck.

The cold touch surprised me, what should I do now?I have to get this knife back, or else this woman will wipe my neck if I don't watch this rhythm!
But how?
right!Big move!I was so anxious that I almost forgot the big move I gave myself.When Han Le smiled arrogantly at me, I stared into her eyes and tried my best!In an instant, my eyes were blocked by the white film of meat, but Han Le's hand movements also stopped.At that time, I quickly used the other hand that was not controlled by the root of the tree to grab the knife in Han Le's hand, and stabbed it forward!
At that moment, my mood was very complicated. For the first time, I took the initiative to stab a living thing with the proprietress's small silver knife.Soon, I heard a heart-piercing howl, the meat membrane on one of my eyes just fell off, and I saw Han Le turned into a puff of black smoke, just like other souls before, in an instant, Incorporated into the blade.

hum!
I felt a vibration on the blade, which made my hands numb.

But I didn't care about that much anymore, because the tree branch that took root in my hand was constantly pulling me, and I was about to be eaten by the big tree. In desperation, I jumped up and supported myself with my feet. The upper and lower lips of the tree.But I couldn't last long like this. I saw that I was about to fall in, so I quickly raised my knife and rushed to the tree trunk!

Puchi!This time, there was also blood splashed back!

And at the moment when the blood splashed back, I heard a ghostly howl in my ears, and the buddy on my shoulder got out instantly, rushed to the gap in the tree, and tore it open forcefully. dead body!No, it's two!

I just remembered at this time, I seemed to see something in the tree at night, but I wasn't sure at the time!

After the blind man tore open the big tree, the tree seemed to feel pain, the whole body of the tree began to tremble, and a ghostly howl came out of its big open mouth.The tree branch that took root in my hand also nodded at this time, I let go, Qiao Man and Yin Guoer also fell into the bag, I fell, picked up the two girls, turned around and ran away.

At this time, the blind ghost was entangled by countless branches and branches, making a heart-piercing scream, but he was still trying to tear open the trunk.But unfortunately, without the proprietress's small silver knife, it seems that it can't exert strength, and the torn gap is gradually closed, and it is about to be swallowed by the tree!
I was dumbfounded and confused, and didn't know what to do at this moment. Suddenly, I felt a familiar fragrant wind appearing beside me. Before I could turn around, a cool little hand took the little one from my left hand The silver knife was drawn out.

"Hey! Who is it... Sister Lan?" I turned my head and raised my eyebrows, it was the proprietress.

It was the first time I saw her in broad daylight, and I found that...she was especially paler than she looked at night.

The proprietress showed a cold arc at the corner of her mouth, then raised her hand, and the small silver knife spun and flew towards the tree, bang!The entire knife sank into the tree trunk in an instant.At that moment, I couldn't help being surprised. Sure enough, my wife and I are not at the same level in terms of physical strength... I stabbed for a long time, and only the tip of the knife went in. When I threw it casually, the whole knife went in.

The big tree howled for a while, and the proprietress walked over with charming steps, and said lightly: "You dare to eat my guests. Do you want to make a cabinet or a door panel?"
