Chapter 175: Chapter 175 - The Dining Room

A leg was caught in the old Taoist’s hand. When the old Taoist looked over, he was so scared that he even forgot to throw it away.

At this moment, Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang left the pool together. The two of them quickly changed their clothes in the living room.

After they left, the old Taoist came to his senses. He hurriedly threw his leg away and ran out of the hot spring pool as if he was running away. He wanted to put on his clothes, but when he saw the boss and Xu Qinglang opening the door and preparing to go out.., he simply grabbed a bathrobe and wrapped it around his body before leaving the hotel with them.

The old Taoist was not Xu Qinglang after all. He did not have the guts to stay in the haunted house alone.

The resort villa was very large. It was similar to a villa area, and the green belts inside were also very well made. Normally, after the reception had completed the check-in procedures.., there would be a greeter who would be responsible for driving the electric car sightseeing car to bring the guests into the villa he had chosen. If they wanted to go out for dinner or go out, they could also call the front desk to make an appointment to pick them up.

“Is it going to rain today?”The old priest raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it was going to rain.

Zhou Ze did not answer and continued to walk forward. Xu Qinglang followed behind Zhou Ze with a solemn face.

They had experienced the three villages and were not very unfamiliar with this situation. The old priest, because of his strong vitality, had not been able to enter the three villages last time, so he had not completely reacted yet.

After walking for about five minutes, they arrived at the welcoming building. On the left side of the first floor of the building was a restaurant, which served breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

When Zhou Ze and the other two entered the building, they saw many people wearing bathrobes like the old priest walking in from the outside and directly entering the restaurant to eat.

“Yo, it seems that all rich people enjoy themselves like this. Wearing a bathrobe and eating out is what makes it taste good.”

The old priest was a little shy at first, but now that he saw that everyone was like this, he relaxed.

Zhou Ze walked to the reception desk first and found that all the staff there were gone. Other than the restaurant, the rest of the place was empty and no one could be seen.

In the end, Zhou Ze could only choose to enter the restaurant.

“Hello, Sir. Please Show Me Your Room Card.”There was a waiter in uniform here.

Xu Qinglang handed the room card over. The waiter swiped it and checked the room type and the number of people who could eat. Then, he nodded.

“I wish you a happy meal.”

Then, the three of them walked in.

There were quite a lot of people inside. It was a buffet. Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang found a place to sit down.

“Boss, why don’t I go and get something to appease the hunger?”The old man suggested.

Zhou Ze looked at the old Taoist and pointed at a person beside him.

The old Taoist looked in the direction and found a pretty girl sitting there eating. She was not bad-looking.

The pretty girl picked up the milk in front of her and took a sip. Then, with a “Plop”sound, the pretty girl’s eyeballs fell out and directly fell into the Milk Cup.

The old Taoist also subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Then, the little beauty reached out and stirred the milk cup. Finally, she took out her eyeballs and stuffed them back into her own eyes.

The old Taoist swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva in a row.

“Do you still want to eat?”Zhou ze asked.

The old Taoist immediately shook his head and obediently sat down beside Zhou Ze.

I’m touched..,

i’m really touched..,

this is the first time the boss didn’t deliberately trick me and even told me not to eat the food here!

Perhaps it was because he was used to being “Teased”, the old Taoist became even more grateful to Zhou Ze at this time. He had suffered so many losses in the past.

Including the incident when he ate the mantou last time, he almost lost half of his old life. However, it seemed that the boss couldn’t be blamed for that incident.

“Is there a big ghost here?”Xu Qinglang asked in a low voice.

Zhou ze shook his head. He wasn’t sure. What happened in the three villages last time was because of the bronze ring. The bronze ring was still with him now. Usually, when he was in the bookstore, he would keep it in the bedroom for Bai Yingying, he would definitely bring it with him when he went out, just in case he needed it. It was purely a matter of luck.

As for the Yin-yang book, Zhou Ze could not bring it with him. If he ran into a child or something, it would shake a little. Should he go and save him or not?

“Let’s wait and see.”

Zhou ze reached out and gently touched his face. It was covered in sweat.

“The air humidity here is very exaggerated,”Zhou Ze said.

Xu Qinglang nodded. “I feel the same way. It’s like I’m still soaking in a hot spring.”

The old priest could only listen from the side as he looked around. He saw the young man on the opposite table biting his finger while eating the noodles. He was eating with relish as if his finger was garlic.

He saw the chef over there stirring the rice noodles with his arm. When he came out of the pot, he used his hand to scoop it up. Even if his arm was boiling red, he was not afraid.

Oh My God..,

the old priest looked at it and did not dare to look anymore. He lowered his head,

he was silently deep in thought.

He did not panic or be afraid. After all, the boss was beside him. Even if the sky fell, there would be someone high enough to cover it.

In fact, since ancient times, any place that had a lot of ghosts usually had two possibilities.

One was that there were big ghosts there. They were similar to Ghost Kings. Naturally, there would be some mountain spirits and wild ghosts under them, such as the old lady Bai and the old demon from Black Mountain in the ghost stories.

Another possibility was that there was a special magic artifact’s influence here. For example, the three villages had existed because of that bronze ring.

If it was just the magic artifact’s influence, then the problem would be a little smaller. After all, magic artifacts didn’t have any likes or dislikes, nor did they have any intelligence. However, if this general mountain was the Ghost King’s execution field, then the problem would be big.

Zhou Ze wasn’t afraid of angering that Ghost King, but he didn’t want to add too much trouble.

He came here because of that “Ghost call”. He only wanted to complete his original plan. Of course, if he could take away all the ghosts here, that would be the best thing, boss Zhou, who had just been promoted to a full-time employee, had a very pitiful performance now.

“That family of three is here,”Zhou Ze said.

At the entrance, the family of three walked over and sat down at the table next to Zhou Ze and the others. The daughter sat on the seat while the father and mother went to get food.

Then..,

the father and mother brought a lot of food,

the family of three sat on the chair and looked at the food on the table. They didn’t move.

They had no head, so they couldn’t eat.

“Is it them?”Zhou ze looked at Xu Qinglang.

“Yes, it’s them.”Xu Qinglang nodded to confirm.

Zhou Ze understood and stood up. He walked over and sat down on the empty seat next to his father.

“Can you talk?”Zhou ze asked.

The family of three remained silent.

“I’m here to help you. You can tell me who killed you. You want to find your head, right? I can help you.”

Zhou Ze explained.

The family of three remained silent.

Zhou ze pointed at the little girl,

“She’s so young. Her life has just begun and she’s already been murdered. As parents, aren’t you angry?”

At this moment,

his wife raised her arm and placed her finger in the soup in front of her. She dipped her finger in the soup and began to write on the table.

Zhou ze looked at it carefully,

then, his expression changed.

It was not because the woman had written something shocking,

it was because the woman did not seem to know that there was a piece of green vegetable on her finger. She had written a word, and the green vegetable leaf was also sweeping up and down on it,

zhou ze could not understand what was written at all!

However, the woman was still writing seriously. She wanted to avenge her daughter, but the more seriously she wrote, the more Pain Zhou Ze felt in his balls. He could not understand it.

“The words are burnt. Remove the leaves from the top,”Zhou Ze reminded him.

At this moment,

a few waiters at the front desk shouted, “The meal is over!”

“Crash…”

Everyone who was eating stood up at the same time. Even Zhou Ze, the old priest, and the others stood up from the crowd. Then, everyone in the restaurant, including the chefs and waiters, began to line up and walk out. Everything was in order, it was as if they had rehearsed it countless times.

The family of three was the same. They stood up and walked toward the exit.

Zhou ze reached out to grab his husband’s wrist, but his husband directly passed through in front of him. Zhou ze grew fingernails, but he still couldn’t grab them.

This time, Zhou Ze was furious. All ten fingernails grew out, and the black fog immediately spread out.

They were preparing to stir up trouble,

i’m not going to play mime with you guys anymore.

However, the fingernails that had always been beneficial to the soul seemed to have lost all their use at this time. The people around continued to act on their own, completely unaffected.

Zhou ze frowned slightly,

they..,

weren’t ghosts?

If they weren’t ghosts, if they weren’t souls, then what were they?

Soon, all the people in the restaurant were gone, leaving only Zhou Ze, Taoist priest, and Xu Qinglang.

“Boss, what happened just now?”Taoist priest went up and asked. He had just seen the boss put out Poss and thought that he was going to flip the table, but who would have thought that the Thunder was louder than the Rain?

“These guys are not ghosts,”Zhou Ze said with certainty.

“What are they if not ghosts?”Taoist priest was dumbfounded.

“Maybe it’s a similar magnetic field. There might be some mineral deposits in general mountain, which caused the magnetic field here to change, just like how lightning would record images from a long time ago,”Xu Qinglang guessed, “There are ghosts in every place, but there are so many of them here, so it’s obviously impossible. This supernatural phenomenon recorded all the traces of the ghosts’movements for so many years, so it gave us the illusion that there are a lot of ghosts here?”

At this moment, Zhou Ze’s cell phone rang. Zhou Ze picked up the phone, and it was still the same unknown number.

This time, the voice on the other end of the phone became extremely clear:

“Save me… Save Me… I’m on General Mountain… Save Me… Save Me… Save Me…”

“We’re also on General Mountain, where the hell are you!”The old Daoist directly yelled at the cell phone.

“They’re coming… they’re coming… they’re coming… ah…”

There were screams on the phone.

Then there was a noise,

another phone call from a ghost with no information.

However, when Zhou Ze was about to hang up the phone,

suddenly a voice came from the other end of the line:

“Amitabha!”

“It’s the Bald Donkey!”The old priest said excitedly, “Bald donkey, there’s a bald donkey causing trouble here! This penniless priest has finally discovered the truth!”

Zhou ze frowned and exchanged glances with Xu Qinglang. Zhou ze asked, “That voice just now, do you feel that it’s very familiar?”

Xu Qinglang also nodded. “It does sound a little familiar.”

Then..,

a second sentence came from the phone:

“Amitabha, I’ve finally found you, hehehe!”
