The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Lin Qiao did not speak, but just looked up in the direction of the kitchen. Although the background music was a bit noisy, he did not hear any sound similar to cooking.

At this time, the waiter in the store came over with a smile on his face: "I am really sorry, customers. There was a problem in the kitchen just now. To express our apology, our store will compensate each of you with a special dessert of our store. Please forgive me."

After a very standard 90-degree bow, the waiter rushed into the kitchen in a hurry. Before leaving, he did not forget to close the window and turn on the air conditioner.

Warm wind blew continuously.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

After looking at the phone for a while, Lin Qiao stood up and left his seat.

Mado Akira thought of something and frowned.

"What's wrong, Akira? You don't look very good."

"No, nothing, just a little strange. Did the waiter come in from outside just now? How did he know what was going on inside?"

"Mobile phone?"

"Probably"

He paused and nodded. Well, maybe she was really too busy recently, so she thought too much.

Having said that, why do I always have a strange feeling?

A feeling of nausea all over my body.

......

On the other side of the restaurant, Lin Qiao, who had escaped temporarily by urinating, came out of the toilet and sneaked around to the back kitchen.

There was still no intention of lighting a fire to cook, and it seemed that there were only two staff members in the whole restaurant.

The waiter who apologized just now was standing inside trembling.

In front of him was a middle-aged man who looked a little fat, pointing at the waiter's nose and scolding him.

Removing those words that would be muted when spoken, the summary is that he blamed the other party for not closing the window just now.

"If you don't do things properly next time, I will beat you to death!"

Finally, after warning the waiter fiercely, the man who seemed to be the boss left.

"......It's not all my fault. You asked me to open it before..."

Bang——!

The waiter who was scolded just now kicked open the kitchen door with an ugly face, holding a plate in his hand, and walked out while mumbling.

As the kitchen door slowly closed, Lin Qiao who was hiding behind the door was also revealed.

It can be basically confirmed that there is something wrong with this restaurant.

"I knew that it would be bad if I met that pink-haired girl."

The first time he met Yi Bingru, his house was demolished.

The second time he met him, he ate up all the identification gifts that Mrs. Mitsui had left for him, and wasted a lot of electricity.

The third time, his chest was cut by that high-end knight... Although the main reason was that he was profligate, didn't Yi Bingru have any responsibility?

The fourth time, that is, now, they seem to have encountered a black shop.

Sighing, he calculated carefully, and every time he met Yi Bingru, the result seemed to be not very good.

Chapter 77 Poisonous, but not much

While the waiter was still serving dishes to the guests at other tables, and hadn't noticed that someone walked out of the back kitchen, Lin Qiao quickly walked back to his seat.

"When I went to the bathroom just now, I heard that there seemed to be some problem with the gas in this store. How about changing to another one?"

As soon as he sat down, he said straight to the point.

"I agree. I and Yi Bingyi have work to do. It would be a waste of time to continue waiting here."

Whether it was the rational idea of ​​saving time or the emotional intuition, Mado Akira didn't want to stay in this restaurant any longer.

This place gave her a bad feeling.

——There is something wrong with this restaurant.

Although there was no concrete evidence, she did think so.

After sending away this ordinary citizen (two drags), let's investigate again.

On this point, she and Lin Qiao reached a high degree of consensus.

The only one who was a little reluctant was Yi Bingru, who was a heavy dessert control.

"Eh? Are you leaving? But that pudding..." Looking at the desserts on other tables, she said a little unwillingly.

"You can't even turn on the fire. No matter how you think about it, it can't be made fresh, and it's free. Aren't you worried that it's the kind that has been left for several days?"

"That's right..."

Yi Bingru, who was lying on the table, pouted, and Lin Qiao's words directly dispelled her thoughts.

In fact, from the attitudes of Lin Qiao and Mado Akira, she had already sensed that something was wrong. Neither of them seemed to want to stay in this restaurant.

Lin Qiao, an ordinary citizen, was fine, but she still understood Mado Akira as her companion.

Although he had a bit of a weird personality, he was excellent in all aspects and his ability to do things was extremely reliable.

After simply collecting the items they carried with them, the three of them left their seats and walked towards the restaurant's door.

However, when the three of them were about to leave, the waiter suddenly ran over in a hurry and asked anxiously:

"Please wait a moment, three guests, are you dissatisfied with the service of this restaurant?"

"In fact, yes, the serving speed is too slow, which will delay our work progress, and I am not interested in desserts. After comprehensive consideration, it is more appropriate to change to another restaurant." Mado Akira said something very blunt and almost hurtful.

"..... Then I will refund the money to the three of you..."

"No need to pay, we haven't paid yet."

Ignoring the waiter's ugly face, the three of them passed him and Akira Mado, who was walking in front, pushed open the door...

Crack, crack.

They pulled hard, but the door didn't move at all. Judging from the sound, it seemed to be locked from the outside.

"I'm sorry, three guests."

At this time, the middle-aged store manager with a fat body came out.

"Once you enter this store, you are not allowed to leave. Please sit back in your seat."

Although he had a relatively kind face, he had a terrifying and weird smile on it.

"The fox's tail is exposed so quickly."

"Sure enough, Akira's intuition is really accurate... Please step back, Mr. Ishimori!"

After warning Lin Qiao, the two of them took a step forward at the same time and pressed the upper switch on the handle of the briefcase.

Accompanied by the buzzing sound of Quinque's deformation, the camouflage shell instantly fell off, revealing the deadly weapon wrapped inside.

"It seems that these are two guests who don't listen to advice."

Facing the two investigators who took out their weapons, the store owner didn't seem to be too nervous.

He shook his head, and the next second, he and the waiter over there burst out amazing heat from their bodies, and even the temperature around them rose several degrees in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the body released a large amount of hot steam, which completely enveloped the body. The shock wave directly blew away the surrounding tables and chairs.

When the steam dissipated, the alien-like body inside was exposed. The whole body was bright red, and the surface was covered with a thick chitin shell.

"Killbus?"

Lin Qiao, who was standing behind the two, opened her mouth to say something, but finally closed her mouth.

The two investigators looked at the crab-shaped Amazon in front of them with a solemn expression.

When the steam dissipated, there was only one Amazon in front of them... But what about the other one?

This crab-shaped Amazon was undoubtedly transformed by the fat boss just now, but what about the waiter who was also an Amazon just now?

Did he hide?

Without caring about what he was thinking, Yi Bingru immediately shouted to the other customers in the store: "This is the ghoul investigator, and we are now carrying out the expulsion mission. Everyone leave the scene immediately!"

There was no response, and the surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that it was a little weird.

There is a problem!

If ghouls appeared in public in the past, the people around them would not be in chaos, but they would also scatter like birds and beasts, running towards the place they thought was safe.

However, the situation today is completely the opposite.

Even if there are fewer people and the background music around is loud, but there was such a big noise just now, it is not that there was no reaction at all.

Glancing around with the corner of his eye, Yi Bingru's pupils suddenly shrank.

At some point, the other customers in the store had already fainted on the table, and some of them were foaming at the mouth and their lives were unknown.

And an Amazon with a brown body and spots on his head was moving these people to the back kitchen.

After noticing Yi Bingru's gaze, he instantly became a little panicked and accelerated the speed of dragging people.

"Did they poison the dessert?"

At this moment, Mado Akira next to her suddenly felt dizzy, and her body was out of control, and she couldn't even hold the Quinque in her hand.

"Akira!?"

I Bingru quickly used his free hand to support Mado Akira who was about to fall to the ground.

Poisoned! ?

Looking at her colleague and friend who suddenly fell, she said in disbelief: "How could it be? Akira obviously didn't eat anything!"

"No, the poison in Inspector Mado has nothing to do with the dessert."

Lin Qiao picked up the plate next to her and threw it in a certain direction.

Clang!

The flying plate instantly broke the glass, and the cold wind blowing from the window immediately relieved Mado Akira's symptoms.

"They did poison, but it was not the dessert that was poisonous, but the air."

She glanced at the others who had fallen into a coma. Although many people had eaten the pudding brought by the waiter, there were also two who had not touched the table.

"That mushroom-like guy should be able to release poisonous spores that can cause coma. That's why they closed the windows and turned on the air conditioner. It's to spread the spores to every corner of the room in a short time."

At the same time, the waiter himself has to move around, which can spread the spores faster and will not attract other people's attention.

And by then, they can easily get a large number of humans as a source of food

"You guessed it right, kid."

The crab-shaped Amazon who was guessed the truth did not look anxious at all, but laughed creepily.

Licking his lips, the pink-haired woman smelled really good, much better than ordinary humans.

"I'm just curious, aren't you afraid of getting poisoned by doing this?"

"Heh, I'm poisoned?" The crab-shaped Amazon snorted disdainfully, pointing with his sharp crab claws at the mushroom-shaped Amazon hiding behind the cash register.

"That jerk wants to poison me? Maybe in the next life!"

"Oh, I see. I think I understand."

Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes slightly. According to this, although the mushroom-shaped Amazon can release poison, the actual toxicity is not that strong, and it is likely not even fatal.

For Mr. Krabs, if he inhaled too much, he would at most feel a little uncomfortable.

He felt even less - if he hadn't suddenly seen people around him fall down, he wouldn't have realized that this place was poisonous.

How could there be a useless guy? Are you an edible mushroom?
