138 The Ninth Shop...
◎Divine Seal. ◎
Gorgeous fireworks swirled in the sky above Ghost Street. Jiang Lin tilted his head back and stared at the fireworks. His slightly dull eyes gradually became alert.
The memories that seemed to be separated by a thin mist were gently lifted by a hand, and the blurry pictures became clear.
He remembered.
The experience four years ago, everything on Ghost Street, and why he and Cai Yuxing walked into the DIY hut.
Jiang Lin's eyes moved slightly and saw Cai Yuxing standing beside him.
She was also watching the fireworks in the night sky, just like four years ago.
There were originally a few guests sitting in the "Abyss" bar opposite the DIY hut. At this time, they all stood up and walked out the door, looked at the people across the street in surprise, and looked up at the night sky again.
Lu Yao found that the bartender from last night had walked to the door at some point.
He was not looking at the fireworks, but at her.
The octopus on the bartender's head was bigger than last night, and its tentacles were covered with dense protrusions.
The strange thing was that the people around him seemed to be unaware of it.
This person's situation seemed to be different from Jiang Lin's.
Lu Yao closed his eyelids slightly, and nodded politely to the other party, just like last night.
After a long and noisy five minutes, all the fireworks that Lu Yao made with two guests in the afternoon were burned out.
After more than ten seconds, the effect of the night bomb disappeared, the sun was about to sink below the horizon, and the soft twilight slowly enveloped the street again.
Lu Yao clapped his hands and called Jiang Lin and Cai Yuxing who were still standing at the door in a daze: "For the first time, it's pretty good. Let's go back and have dinner."
After a busy afternoon, Lu Yao was indeed a little hungry.
She took out her mobile phone from her pocket and prepared to order a meal at the snack bar. Before she walked into the store, someone ran over from behind.
"Hey, is this firework really handmade?" Lu
Yao turned around.
A middle-aged man with a thick beard was walking over from the bar opposite, his eyes were bright and he looked straight at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao: "Of course."
The middle-aged man noticed the billboard beside Lu Yao, his face was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly recovered, and then his feet walked faster: "I want to experience it once." Lu Yao
was about to agree.
It was not yet six o'clock in the afternoon. After eating something, he could indeed do another activity before twelve o'clock.
Xu Zhengrong and Ren You reacted faster than Lu Yao and stopped the middle-aged man.
It was unknown what the two said to the man. He looked up and looked at Lu Yao deeply, then turned around unwillingly and walked towards the bar opposite.
The guests watching on the street saw this scene and seemed to know something, and gradually dispersed.
Lu Yao's eyes swept over Xu Zhengrong and Ren You coldly.
Liu Jing grabbed Lu Yao's arm and shook her head at her: "Someone will come to the church soon, and it will be inconvenient to have guests."
Lu Yao retracted his gaze: "Okay, I'll cooperate."
Liu Jing stood at the door: "I have to go back to the unit first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow. Leave me a place for the experience."
There were too many things to do at the moment, and Lu Yao didn't have time to ask Liu Jing about her situation in detail.
She seemed to be very busy too. She said something to Lu Yao and turned around to leave in a hurry, but was stopped by Xu Zhengrong again.
Before the people from the security room came, they had to stay to watch Jiang Lin and could not leave the DIY hut. No one was there to take Liu Jing back to the management office building, so they could only ask her to stay in the store and wait together. Lu Yao
didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "If you can't leave, come in and have a quick meal together. I'm just about to order."
Back in the store, Lu Yao ordered six classic set meals according to the number of people.
Xu Zhengrong and Ren You didn't expect the owner to order for them, so they declined very seriously.
But when the lunch boxes were delivered, the fragrance was really tempting.
It was even more excessive than the snack stalls on Ghost Street.
The two of them could only turn aside silently, secretly swallowing their saliva, but they couldn't help but look back and secretly observe the owner and the other three people.
Because it was almost evening, the snack bar was preparing ingredients for the barbecue stall, and the clerk specially stuffed the owner with a three-layer lunch box of luxurious seafood barbecue.
The previous second, the customer was captured by the breathtaking aroma, forgetting everything and swallowing his saliva.
The next second, the lid of the box was opened, and charcoal-grilled giant squids and small octopuses were piled on the top layer of the lunch box, filling it up.
Except for Lu Yao, everyone jumped up and quickly stood up and retreated, their faces pale and their bodies shaking like chaff. Lu
Yao suddenly remembered that there was no seafood store on Youling Street, and for various reasons, the people here were probably very afraid of such things.
But the culinary skills of the snack bar staff have improved a lot this year. The small seafood is grilled and delicious, with thick oil and red sauce, and the aroma of burnt meat is overflowing. Lu
Yao leaned over to take away the first layer of lunch boxes, revealing the layer of grilled oysters with garlic sauce on the bottom layer, and grilled shrimp and grilled snail meat on the third layer: "... These are all ordinary snacks, don't be afraid."
The others swallowed their saliva and shook their heads violently.
The shadow in the heart is something that is difficult to overcome for a while. Lu Yao expressed his understanding and did not persuade them to eat grilled seafood.
The standard box lunch in the snack bar is also very good, with short round fragrant rice with a white luster, braised pork stewed with Alexander continent's premium monster meat, fresh bamboo shoots and fried pork shreds, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a three-fresh soup and a special summer sugar water to relieve the heat.
After Jiang Lin, Cai Yuxing and Liu Jing calmed down, they took their lunch boxes and sat far away from Lu Yuan and started eating. They
couldn't stop eating after taking a bite, and they couldn't resist the deliciousness of the lunch boxes.
Xu Zhengrong and Ren You held the lunch boxes without opening them, but they were reluctant to put them down, swallowing their saliva and holding on.
The church security team arrived at the DIY hut. As soon as the five security guards arrived at the door, they were "attacked" by the aroma that kept coming out of the store. When they entered the door, they saw the owner eating a small octopus one by one, enjoying it.
Xu Zhengrong saw his colleague, stuffed the lunch box to Ren You, and stood up to greet him.
Qin Qiuming, the director of the security office, had a full view
of the situation in the store. He saw Lu Yao eat three small octopuses in the blink of an eye and started to gnaw on the big squid. His hands couldn't help but tremble a little, and he immediately asked Xu Zhengrong to report. The other four stood there in a daze, completely unable to understand the situation before their eyes.
Ren You stood up quickly.
He was a newcomer, and the people who came this time were all old people from the office.
Ren You walked over and was immediately pulled to the middle by a security guard.
The other party lowered his head and glanced at the lunch box in his hand, with a strange expression: "Which one is the mutton?" Ren You
gestured in the direction of Jiang Lin: "It's the boy."
The colleague looked over and his face became even stranger: "Didn't the report say that the symptoms of mutation are very serious?"
Ren You quickly reported what happened in the store before they rushed over.
The four security guards moved their eyes from Jiang Lin to Lu Yao, and the fear in their eyes deepened.
The security guard, who had a very ugly face before coming, asked Ren You: "Does she have a divine seal on her body?"
Ren You's face turned pale and shook his head vigorously.
Divine seal, a mark that occasionally appears on the residents of Ghost Street.
It is said that only those who are favored by Him can possess it.
And the intelligence obtained by countless security guards who sacrificed their lives and souls shows that most people who possess the seal of God will obtain powerful and strange powers.
They use this power to help Him confuse and guide ordinary people on the ghost street to get lost.
The previous holder of the seal of God almost turned the streets of the South District into a no-man's land. Thousands of guests, shop owners, and even street management personnel were led into the endless abyss, transformed into aliens, and became His food.
In order to eliminate the holder of the seal of God, the church paid a huge price, so that the security room is now seriously understaffed.
If the owner of this new store in the North District is also a holder of the seal of God, they don’t know if they can hold on this time.
While chatting here, Lu Yao quickly finished his dinner, and Jiang Lin and Cai Yuxing opposite him also finished their dinner.
Qin Qiuming saw Lu Yao cleaning up the garbage on the table, and she encouraged herself in her heart and walked over slowly: "Hello, I am the director of the security room of the West District Church, my name is Qin Qiuming." Lu Yao
stood up: "Hello."
Qin Qiuming was a little afraid to look her in the eye, and drooped her eyelids slightly, "I think Xiao Xu has already told you about the situation. Jiang Lin has already shown serious symptoms of mutation. In order to ensure the safety of the streets, we must take him back to the church." Lu
Yao was just observing, and the people in the security room did not seem to be as bad as Xiao Cai said, but they did want to take Jiang Lin away.
If it was before, Lu Yao would definitely let go generously and let them take Jiang Lin away.
She only needs to open the store and do her tasks, and she will not interfere too much in events that do not affect the operation of the store.
Lu Yao has been thinking about trivial things aimlessly from time to time recently. Perhaps she has become much stronger than she was a year ago, and can do much more than she expected. Lu Yao
walked up to Jiang Lin and took off his mask.
Cai Yuxing was stunned to see Jiang Lin's appearance.
Compared to the initial mutation, Jiang Lin's appearance, skin, hands and feet have recovered, with only a pink tumor-like bulge under his left eye.
Xu Zhengrong and Ren You were also surprised.
Ren You said with a trembling voice: "He is really recovering!"
The other security guards who had just arrived at the store were confused.
Jiang Lin's condition has obviously improved, proving that her guess was correct.
Lu Yao looked at Qin Qiuming: "I'm sorry, Jiang Lin is my customer. He had an accident in my store, and I have the responsibility to help him recover. And according to his current recovery, he will probably be fully recovered tomorrow."
Qin Qiuming was very troubled.
This shop owner is really different. Even if she saw the process of transformation with her own eyes, she seemed to have no fear at all.
After a moment of silence, he still insisted on taking Jiang Lin away.
Liu Jing had been silent, but could not help but say, "I also stayed in this store for a while before going to church this morning. It is also true that the customer's symptoms of mutation are disappearing. Maybe this is an opportunity..."
"Enough!" Qin Qiuming suddenly raised his voice and looked at Liu Jing coldly, "You are no longer a manager of the North District Street, and you have no right to dictate our work."
Liu Jing bit her lip and her eyes were red.
Lu Yao shook his head: "There is no need to lose your temper with others."
Qin Qiuming's face was gloomy and his breathing was heavy.
Lu Yao: "I'll make it clear, Jiang Lin and Xiao Cai will stay in the store tonight. You can't leave the store before dawn tomorrow."
Everyone in the hall looked up at Lu Yao.
Ren Ran didn't believe it and ran quickly towards the door.
The store door was right in front of him, but it seemed like a mirage. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get close.
Lu Yao clapped his hands: "Don't look at me in such fear. I don't eat people, and I don't have any special hobbies. In order to observe Jiang Lin's situation without distraction, I can only ask you to stay in the store tonight."
The guests and security guards in the store looked at Lu Yao in a daze, their eyes suddenly filled with fear.
Lu Yao lowered her eyes.
A strange mark appeared on the back of her right hand.
A security guard held his head and screamed in despair: "It's the seal of God!"
Lu Yao raised her left hand and covered the back of her right hand, activating her ability. Strange and complex patterns covered her entire left arm, and golden light flickered, erasing the mark that had just been branded in front of everyone: "I don't really like tattoos."
Security guard & guest: "..."
I don't like tattoos, but I have tattoos.
[Author's words]
He: Strong ability, ideas. The new cafeteria manager is you.
Goddess Fulla: How dare you hire the same manager as me at any level?
