The eight people looked around nervously, but didn't find anything strange.
It felt like eight people were all suspicious at the same time.
"Sir, what's wrong? That's the ordering area. You can leave a few people there to order."
The waitress was startled when eight people simultaneously turned their heads to look for something. She hadn't heard any noise or anything else strange and wondered what was wrong with these students.
"Oh, it's okay. Let's go to the private room first, and then come down to order the food."
Wang Shenyu immediately realized what was happening and responded to the waiter's question.
"Okay, this way please."
A group of people went upstairs led by a waiter.
Wu You looked up and smiled at the waiter who had been taking his order.
"This should be enough. Please serve the dishes as soon as possible. I'll go upstairs now."
The waiter paused for a moment.
What do you mean by "should be enough"? You're thinking to yourself, "Let's see how much you waste later."
"Yes, sir."
While talking to the waiter, Wu You's senses remained focused on the students.
It's quite interesting to encounter "believers" of your own creatures in a place like this.
In particular, when he discovered that the mental and physical abilities of this group of "cult members" had actually increased quite significantly.
This growth certainly doesn't refer to their original physical bodies, but rather to the significant progress they've made after being granted power by the demons.
Wu You initially didn't think they could detect him because he had already restrained his mental power, which could interfere with ordinary people's thoughts and mental states.
But soon after the students entered the store, they all sensed something.
Wu You clearly sensed their emotional shift, so he instantly concealed his presence.
This is interesting. Strictly speaking, the time this group of people were "blessed" by the devil was not very long, but the growth rate was quite considerable.
These kids, varying in size, are probably as strong as muscular men who train regularly. And due to the nature of their strength, their endurance far surpasses that of bodybuilders who only have explosive power but lack stamina.
For Wu You and alchemical creatures, this may not mean much, but for ordinary humans, the impact of such continuous mental and physical growth may be enough to change their lives.
It's not just the primordial demons; all demons are keen on "forming cults." Next time, ask them if this happens to all the "followers" they promote.
I sat in my own corner, enjoying the afterglow of the sunset over West Lake.
It was quite pleasant.
If there weren't so many couples showing off their love around.
...
Inside room 302, named Broken Bridge and Lingering Snow, several students shared their feelings from just now.
"Shenyu, you felt it just now, right? Everyone else probably felt it too, right?"
Wang Shenyu and the others nodded.
"Yes, I felt it too, like I encountered something very important."
"Yes, I know it sounds strange, but I really did feel like I might have met God just now..."
Xiao You interjected, saying that his maternal grandmother was a Christian, so she often used phrases like "God" in her speech. Of course, their family's beliefs were the same as most Chinese people's.
"Uh, we've accepted the power of the devil, and you're talking about God..."
Wu You, who was waiting for her food outside, grinned.
It feels alright to be treated like God.
He wouldn't casually use his telepathy to spy on other people's privacy; this was purely for fun. However, he stopped talking after hearing this part.
His cold dishes were served first, ready to be served in large chunks.
While Wu You was eating, two people came out of room 302 to order food, and then went back in.
When Wu You handed back a few empty plates to the waiter who came to deliver the food, amidst his surprised expression, a somewhat melodramatic scene unfolded.
A man grumbled as he went up to the third floor, followed closely by a male and a female restaurant employee.
"Let me tell you, I booked Broken Bridge and Lingering Snow last week. You can ask your manager Zhang."
"Sir, we really don't have any record of your reservation for the private room. The room is already occupied."
The man was the lobby manager on duty, and he tried to stop the man in the trench coat from going upstairs.
"What does that have to do with me? That's your dereliction of duty, it's not my responsibility!"
"Sir, our manager Zhang is on his honeymoon. We really haven't received any booking information from you."
"Sir, please wait a moment, our General Manager Zhao will be right there."
The man pushed the two aside and continued walking up to the third floor, cursing as he went towards room 302.
There were many couples and other people dining on the third floor, and they all frowned when they heard the noise.
But no one stood up.
Wu You watched the man with great interest from the corner.
He could clearly sense from his emotions and mental perception that the man was lying.
So they're here specifically to cause trouble?
Do they have a grudge against this restaurant or against those students?
Hmm, there was a very faint smell on the man. Wu You felt that he might have some idea of who the man wanted to cause trouble for.
"Bang!"
The man opened the door to room 302.
Because the soundproofing was indeed quite good, and the students inside were having a lively conversation, they only noticed what had happened at this point.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry to disturb your meal. We couldn't stop this gentleman."
The waitress quickly apologized to Wang Shenyu and his group.
Just as the male lobby manager was about to say something, the man in the trench coat shouted at Wang Shenyu and the others first.
"Take me to see the devil! Take me to see the devil! I was wrong, I will cherish this opportunity, I want another chance, take me to see the devil!!!"
The man suddenly became agitated and extremely excited.
"I can't find it, I can't find it anywhere, but I know you can find it. Please, take me to see the demon one more time!"
"I tried everything, bleeding myself to draw spells, eating crow's eyes... I just wanted one more chance!!!"
As he spoke, the man revealed his left wrist, which was covered in cuts.
The two staff members, a man and a woman, who were standing nearby, instinctively moved a few steps away from the man.
This man, whose expression changed in a second, is definitely mentally unstable.
These kinds of people are often more dangerous than criminals like robbers because you can never predict what they will do, and after they do something bad, a mental evaluation makes them legal.
Guests at several tables in the main dining area near the private room stood up and moved away from the doorway.
"Call the police..." the male manager whispered to the female server next to him.
The faces of the eight students in the private room all changed.
To the restaurant staff and bystanders, they may have looked frightened, but only they themselves knew what had really happened.
Wu You has figured it out.
This man was probably a follower of the devil, not necessarily Saraso, but now he is a person who has betrayed his faith.
After obtaining it, they thought they could possess it forever.
When he no longer took the demon seriously, even though he continued to repeat these symbolic rituals and actions, his power disappeared.
It is also likely that part of his spirit was taken away, resulting in some mental deficiencies in him.
Well, you could say his soul is somewhat incomplete.
