Chapter 87 Ghost Car

After a dizzy spell, everyone stood again at the starting point of this copy.

"Ah! Your eyes..."

"You're bleeding from the nose!"

"Fuck! You too!"

There were sounds of surprise and screams from the crowd.

Xie Liang touched the wetness on his face and found that like them, blood was flowing out of his eyes and nose.

"What's going on, damn it!" Lu Bubu yelled while wiping the blood from his nose.

At this time, the wind was howling and the surrounding wind was obviously much stronger than the previous two days.

"Maybe we don't have much time left." Xie Liang said.

"How come you're okay, bro?"

"Maybe Brother He is in better health?"

Lü Bubu looked completely bewildered and muttered, "I thought I was in good health, but..."

Just as Xie Liang was about to take out a tissue from his bag to wipe his face, Xu He took out a handkerchief with a worried look on his face and carefully wiped the blood from his nose and eyes.

Li Kuantou on one side woke up after the copy was reset. He kept covering his wound and screaming, which was very annoying to hear.

Lu Bubu couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him on the head: "Can you please shut up? It's so noisy!"

It was around half past nine and everyone stood there waiting for a while.

It was not until around ten o'clock that the NPC across the street, wearing a black suit and shiny leather shoes, ran towards them again, waving his hand.

The NPC still did the same actions and said the same words as the previous two times, and then left.

This time no one stopped him, and there were only five customers left to check. Instead of arguing with him, it would be better to go into the restaurant early and check the remaining five customers.

Next, Xie Liang wrote down the physical characteristics of the five remaining customers who had not been checked on several pieces of paper and distributed them to those who still had money in their pockets.

After receiving the note, those with money in their pockets walked towards the restaurant with confidence.

It’s the same greeter, the same waiter, the same customers, and the words they speak are almost the same.

Xie Liang and his group sat at four different tables, each corresponding to the four customers who had not been checked, and the remaining table was taken care of by Huangmao and Zhang Guo.

Two hours later, they followed the customers in different directions.

Xie Liang was following a male customer, and he tried his best to act natural so that the other party would not notice that he was following him.

This male customer lives quite close to the restaurant, in the residential building next door.

After sending him home safely, Xie Liang walked back.

When he returned to the open space in front of the restaurant, no one else had come back yet. Only the injured Li Kuan was lying on the ground with his head tilted back, crying weakly.

Xie Liang was so angry that his head was about to explode: "Can't you save some energy?"

Li Kuantou: "Do you think I want to scream? It hurts so much..."

"Will the pain go away if I scream?"

"Ouch...it hurts so much..." Li Kuantou ignored Xie Liang and started screaming again.

Xie Liang was so annoyed by his noise that he sat down on the side of the road farther away from him.

Not long after we sat down, a white refrigerated truck drove over to the intersection.

A refrigerated truck stopped in front of the restaurant. Two men got out of the truck, opened the air-conditioned trunk, and then each of them carried a large foam box and walked towards the restaurant.

They carried the load back and forth several times, and then drove the refrigerated truck away.

Looking at the refrigerated truck going away, Xie Liang began to have an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Ouch... Ouch... It's this car again. Why do you send it here every day? I don't have money to eat!"

What! Come here every day? After hearing this, Xie Liang hurriedly walked towards Li Kuantu and squatted in front of him: "You said this car comes here every day?"

Li Kuantou cried out, "Oh...that's right!"

"Do you always send those foam boxes?"

"Ouch! It hurts so much, doesn't it! Ouch...Once they even dragged the dead man at the door into the car."

"The Adventer who died at the restaurant entrance on the first day?"

Li Kuantu nodded, groaning even more vigorously: "Oh my... that's right, they even picked up the man's fallen internal organs and put them in the car... Oh my... they are more dedicated than the people in the funeral home!"

Next, Xie Liang didn't listen to his "ouch" anymore and walked towards the direction of the refrigerated truck.

The direction the refrigerated truck was heading was the same as the direction the NPC in the black suit was walking, which was a straight road.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xie Liang saw a blue-roofed iron factory building in front of him. There were piles of foam boxes at the factory gate, and the refrigerated truck was parked in the open space outside the iron building.

He walked towards the iron factory door. As he approached the door, he heard two people chatting inside. He hurriedly squatted down by the door and eavesdropped.

"Is this supply enough to supply the restaurant for a long time?"

"I don't think so. Those people come here every day to eat. If only Sister Yang had gotten that piece of merchandise last night, we could have made some money."

"Then again, isn't Sister Yang trying to trick Mr. Liu?"

"What would happen if Mr. Liu knew his mistress did this to him?"

"Haha, what's the matter? Sister Yang goes to Mr. Liu's restaurant every day, isn't it just to look for sources of goods? Do you think Mr. Liu doesn't know?"

Suddenly, it became quiet inside. The two men stopped talking and it sounded like they were smoking.

Xie Liang's legs were numb from squatting. At this time, the people inside began to walk towards the door. He didn't care about the numbness in his legs and quickly went around to squat behind the foam boxes piled in front of the door.

After the people in the factory came out, Xie Liang could see clearly that they were the two men who delivered the foam boxes to the restaurant.

After the two men came out, they locked the factory gate and drove away.

Xie Liang stood up and walked towards the factory gate. There was a big lock hanging there. The lock was very thick and complicated. It seemed that his universal iron wire was useless.

We need to find out who Sister Yang is. The two people revealed a lot of information. This Sister Yang must be the food supplier of the Western restaurant. Not only does she come to the Western restaurant every day to scout for supplies, she also maintains an improper relationship with Mr. Liu.

And the so-called source of goods is mostly human flesh...

No, the mission is almost complete, why bother with all this? Once Xu He and the others send the remaining four customers home, the door will open. Why bother with this?

Thinking of this, Xie Liang started walking back.

He was really crazy. He followed me here without a second thought. Wouldn't it be better to just wait patiently? It must be because of Li Kuantou. He was too noisy...

Xie Liang thought of Li Dongsheng asking him to borrow money, and then worried about whether the door would open. Li Kuantou's cry kept echoing in his mind, and his thoughts were in a mess, as if they were crumpled into a ball.

A long time passed, but the bell still did not ring.

Xie Liang anxiously glanced at the jade watch on his wrist. Just as he was distracted, a car suddenly came from behind and hit him!

It hurts! It hurts so much! Severe pain shot through my waist and legs.

Xie Liang was lying on the ground, raising his head with difficulty. Tears welled up in his eyes from the pain. He watched the truck driving away with blurred vision.

He had seen that big truck before; it had a red body.

The two female customers were hit head-on by the car as soon as they ran onto the road.

This car was like a ghost car, making no sound while driving on the road, otherwise he wouldn't have been hit.

The wound on his waist bled profusely, staining the ground beneath him red.

He tried to stand up, but found that he could not move below the waist, so he just let himself lie on the ground.

The bell never rang, and Xie Liang was in so much pain that he almost fainted.

He couldn't help but think of Li Dongsheng and Xiao Ha again, of everything he had experienced at the Vortex Gate, and of those who had died in such a miserable way...

It hurts so much, am I going to die? Just as Xie Liang was crying in pain, Xu He and the others hurried over from the other side of the road.

Tears obscured Xie Liang's vision. He saw Xu He, who was still some distance away, and then appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.

When Xie Liang saw Xu He, he cried even harder, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

Xu He seemed to have stuffed something into his mouth, but he didn't pay attention and just kept crying. He couldn't hear what Lu Bubu and Shi Xiaoyin said, he just kept crying.

Xie Liang was crying when he noticed Xu He carefully picked him up.

As Xu He moved, Xie Liang felt a sharp, piercing pain in his waist, and then he fainted from the pain.

When Xie Liang opened his eyes again, it was almost dusk.

His legs were placed straight on the cement floor under the eaves on one side of the restaurant, and his upper body was held in Xu He's arms.

It should be Xu He who brought him back, and everyone stayed in an open space not far away.

Noticing that he had woken up, Xu He adjusted his posture so that he could lean on him comfortably.

The wound on my waist has been carefully bandaged, and the pain has eased a lot, but my legs are still out of control and I can't move at all.

"Xiaoliang..." Xu He's voice sounded hoarse.

"Brother He, am I...am I disabled?"

"No, it will be fine."

"The door didn't appear. Can we still go back?"

"Of course, silly."

Xie Liang didn't say anything else, feeling like he was about to cry again.

After a while, after calming down, Xie Liang reached into his pocket with a trembling hand - it was the invoice issued by the waiter when he paid the bill, and a restaurant business card that he had received from the cash register before.

There was something vaguely wrong with the signature on the invoice, with several different numbers that looked abrupt and unnecessary. The business card, on the other hand, introduced the restaurant's signature dishes, the sources of its ingredients, and its history.

Xie Liang looked at today's invoice and fell into deep thought. Then he took out the invoices from the previous two days and compared them. The three invoices all had different numbers at the end: 5, 4, and 3.

The number on the invoice should represent the time they have left, and if nothing unexpected happens, this copy should be reset twice.

"What's wrong?" Xu He asked.

"I haven't figured it out yet. By the way, have you checked all the customers?"

"Um."

At this time, Shi Xiaoyin and Lu Bubu walked towards them.

Shi Xiaoyin looked worried: "Xie Liang, luckily you are lucky. How do you feel now?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt that much anymore."

Lu Bubu sighed and sat down next to Xie Liang. "Little brother, you really scared me back then. Luckily, I took out a burning stone and fed it to you. That's when we finally breathed a sigh of relief. How could you be so careless when you were fine? Did you not look at the road when you walked..."

"Enough of that! Just stop talking, it's so annoying." Shi Xiaoyin said.

"That car made no sound while driving on the road," said Xie Liang.

Lu Bubu scratched his head: "Huh? No sound?"

"Yeah, that big red truck, the one we saw."

"I felt that there was something wrong with the car last time, and now it seems that there is indeed something wrong," said Shi Xiaoyin.

"What should we do? Should we still look for Mr. Liu?" Lu Bubu asked.

"Well, we still have to find it. We still have two days." Xie Liang showed them the number on the invoice. "Today's number is 3. I think it should be correct."

"Damn it! We got tricked by that NPC! Mr. Liu wasn't even in the restaurant."

Xie Liang told them about what he saw in the afternoon, and also told them what he heard about Sister Yang and Mr. Liu.

"So, if we want to find Mr. Liu, we have to find that damn Sister Yang first." Lu Bubu said.

Shi Xiaoyin: "Since Sister Yang comes to this restaurant every day, should we——"

Xie Liang interrupted her: "We don't have enough time." He pursed his lips and continued, "There should be information about Sister Yang in that iron factory."

"Then Bubu and I will go and take a look." Shi Xiaoyin said.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go." said Lu Bubu.

"Wait!" Xie Liang wanted to stand up, but found that he had no strength in his waist, so he had to give up. "There is a big lock on the door. Let Brother He go with you. His sword is sharp."

"No need, I have my own way. Don't worry, just stay here with Brother He. We will be back soon." Lu Bubu said.

"Okay, be careful of that truck, and remember to hurry up. The copy will be reset at around eight o'clock, and there are less than two hours left." Xie Liang said.

Shi Xiaoyin nodded: "Well, we'll go first and talk about it when we come back."

After watching them leave, Xie Liang began to worry again. Now all hopes were pointing to the ethereal Sister Yang. He wondered if they could successfully find relevant clues.
