99 The Eighth Shop
◎The ghost has arrived at the shop.◎
The gate to cross the river?
Lu Yao was half asleep, and he looked at the four words in the middle and reacted for a few seconds. Cross
the river...what is crossing the river?
The phone that had just been turned off lit up again.
[Super Time and Space Internet Cafe-Jiao Niang: Shopkeeper, the ghost has arrived at the shop!]
Cross the river...Forget River? Lu Yao
suddenly woke up, got up, grabbed the phone and ran out. When she
ran to the hotel lobby, she subconsciously lightened her steps, quickly and silently crossed the aisle, opened the door and went out.
The cold wind blew on her face, and the coolness soaked into her skin, and Lu Yao's feverish brain gradually cooled down.
I don't know who opened the ghost gate, but this is an opportunity, and I must find a way to complete the task.
Zhong Lianjia stood at the door of the Internet cafe at a loss. When he saw Lu Yao coming out of the hot spring hotel, he subconsciously came up to him and said, "Shopkeeper, Jiao Niang said that the gate to the river crossing was opened and the store is very dangerous."
Zhong Lianjia was watching Jiao Niang playing games when a cold breath came from under his feet.
Jiao Niang made rapid progress and joined the game the latest. Now she plays low-level ranked matches alone and has a higher winning rate than Zhu Ying.
She is more sensitive to the trend of the game than others.
Just now in the store, Jiao Niang noticed something was wrong and immediately threw Xiao Zhong out of the store to the door and drove him away quickly.
Lu Yao comforted Xiao Zhong and told him to go to the hot spring hotel to rest first. He turned around and stepped into the door of the Internet cafe.
Xiao Zhong: "..."
Lu Yao stepped on something wet. She lifted her leg and a bloody sticky liquid dripped from her slippers.
The Internet cafe was flooded, and it might be the water from the Forgetful River.
The fishy smell rushed towards her like a dense swarm of insects, causing Lu Yao's hair to stand on end and goose bumps to fall all over the floor.
She left in a hurry and was still in her pajamas. She felt that the store was particularly cold.
There was no one in the lobby. Jiao Niang had turned into a mermaid, curled up on the bar with her tail coiled, and Xiong An An was still in her arms.
Xiong An An buried his head in Jiao Niang's arms, revealing a hairy buttocks, with his tail curled under his buttocks, and trembling all over.
When Jiao Niang saw Lu Yao walking in like this, her face was shocked: "Owner, how can you come in? Once the gate of the ferry is opened, the water of the ferry will rush in. Don't wade in the water, your feet will rot."
The ferry was full of the smell of corpses and death, even demons retreated, and the mortal body could not resist it at all. Lu
Yao only felt that the water was cold, sticky and a little disgusting, but he didn't feel uncomfortable for the time being.
She walked to the bar, took off her slippers, took out the cleaning talisman and stuck it on the back of her feet, and took out a pair of deep-tubed waders from her personal storage: "Where is the ghost?"
Jiao Niang was stunned: "Your shoes..."
Lu Yao: "Waterproof."
As he spoke, Lu Yao had already torn off the cleaning talisman and put on waders.
Jiao Niang was speechless, and raised her hand to point upstairs.
The water from the river first seeped down the wall of the private room on the second floor, and spread all around in a moment after it hit the ground. The guests were so scared that they rushed out, and several tables were knocked over in the scuffle. The door was
probably on the second floor. There was a commotion downstairs at the time, and a ghost in black clothes and black hair was clinging to the handrail and looking down a few times.
Lu Yao looked at the blood all over the ground, and the cables were all spread on the ground. Although a magic barrier was set up for protection, it was unknown how long it could last under the water of the Wangchuan River.
She took out the Qiankun bag from her personal storage and prepared to put Jiao Niang and Xiong An'an in it: "I'll send you and An'an out first, and then go upstairs to see the situation."
Jiao Niang stared at Lu Yao in a daze. The owner was too cold.
As soon as the gate to cross the river opens, the ghost messenger will come to take souls.
Not to mention humans, even demons are afraid.
Lu Yao looks slow and leisurely, but he is actually anxious in his heart, fearing that if he goes a little late, the ghost messenger will leave.
But it is not good to leave Jiao Niang and Xiong An An here, so Lu Yao directly puts them into the Qiankun bag, sends them to the door and immediately returns.
***
In the private room on the second floor, the thick and gloomy rusty black door opens to the inside of the private room like a window. The dark red river water overflows the threshold from time to time and flows down the wall. The
red river inside the door intertwines with the dark and desolate land, which is the most boring and common scene in the boundless hell.
Two black halberds are placed on the wall, and the black-clothed ghost messenger is sitting on a chair in the Internet cafe, fiddling with the computer in front of him curiously.
The second floor was a different space created by Lu Yao with his ability. It was originally suspended in the air, and the circuits were buried in the floor. It was not corroded by the water of the Forgotten River. The computer that was turned on was still running normally.
Hearing the sound, Xie Yi tilted his head and looked at the door.
Lu Yao had seen the scene in the room clearly, "Two ghost messengers, did you see the guest in this room just now?"
Xie Yi was surprised at her calmness and pointed to the rusty black door on the wall that was wide open: "She jumped into the river, probably looking for someone's residual soul again."
As a ghost messenger stationed at the river, this kind of thing is no longer surprising.
Every few hundred years, you will encounter one or two people with bad brains.
More than two hundred years ago, the new emperor of the demon clan also came to the river to look for the residual soul of a fairy.
Because that incident was such a big deal, the authorities are now guarding the Ghost Gate more strictly. It had just been quiet for two hundred years, but it was opened again by a demon.
Xie Yi and Fan Song were going to the prison to receive punishment after their shift tonight, and they were in a bad mood.
Lu Yao lay by the door and looked inside, but couldn't find any trace of Li Shijun.
Xie Yi said casually: "If she wants to be taken away, don't worry about it. When her body decays and her soul has no place to go, she will come back naturally. Lu Yao
turned around: "You two are not in a hurry?"
Fan Song raised his head from the computer: "Anyway, the door has been opened, and the punishment can't be escaped no matter what. It's better to take advantage of her while she is still being taken away and get some fresh air in the world. "
Lu Yao is very familiar with this shabby style.
Before the snack bar, the residents of Dreamland were similar to these two.
Lu Yao suppressed the joy that almost appeared on his face, lowered his eyes, and suggested calmly: "Waiting is boring. Since the two adults are in the Internet cafe for the first time, why don't you play some games? It's quite popular among the monsters and demons recently."
Fan Song let go of the mouse, tilted his head to look at Lu Yao, and moved his gaze down to her feet: "You are a human with no cultivation, but you are very courageous."
Lu Yao waded in the river several times before going upstairs. The soles and uppers of her wading boots had been burned through and half melted, but the exposed skin was still smooth and flawless, without a single wound.
It was the first time that Lu Yao knew that her body was so strong. Normally, a short thorn from a tree branch would leave a scratch. He did not bother to think about the reason and just said, "My name is Lu Yao, the owner of this Internet cafe. That customer opened the door to the river for no reason. The water from the river flooded downstairs and all the customers ran away. If the two adults did not go back, the guests would not dare to come back. Since we cannot close the door for the time being, The gate to the river crossing. You two rarely come to the human world, so why not see it for yourself? "
Xie Yi sat on the chair with her legs crossed, saying with disdain: "What's the fun in this? If I didn't have to guard this gate, I would like to go to the human world to have a drink in a tavern."
Fan Song looked at Lu Yao for a while and asked: "What game?" Lu
Yao walked behind Fan Song and taught him to exit from Koukou Literature City and open the novice tutorial file.
While Fan Song was watching the novice tutorial, Lu Yao went downstairs to pick up a plate of snacks and brought a bunch of drinks to the private room.
When she went upstairs again, Xie Yi also went over and watched the novice tutorial.
Seeing Lu Yao coming in, he pointed at the computer in front of him and said, "I want to play too."
Lu Yao said in embarrassment, "The downstairs was flooded by the Wangchuan River, and the line is faulty."
The line is still normal for the time being, but the magic barrier is about to break.
Once the barrier is broken, the store will really be flooded.
Xie Yi stood up, stood in the corridor and looked down, and asked back, "Is it enough to clean up the river water?"
Lu Yao: "Maybe it will work."
Xie Yi took out a black token from his waist and uttered a spell.
A crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the token, turning into a mouth, and drank up the bloody river water in the Internet cafe.
In the private room, Fan Song stood up and picked up the long spear, blocking it horizontally at the door, so that the water from the river could no longer cross the threshold.
Lu Yao went downstairs to check. The blood on the floor was gone. The walls were clean without any trace of being wet. The machines were also intact.
She quickly went to the bar and turned on the machines in the private room.
Xie Yi and Fan Song came here for the first time. After watching the tutorial video for a long time, they still couldn't play the complicated games. In the end, they entered the 6399 mini-game and started with the bomb man. Xie Yi and
Fan Song were both mortals in their lifetime. They could understand the human language and had no communication problems.
Lu Yao also took the opportunity to find out that the two had been guarding the underworld for a thousand years and their ghost age was over a thousand years old.
After playing two or three times, the two ghost messengers gradually found the game interesting. They ate snacks from the human world and played simple and addictive single-player games. A lot of time was wasted in this way.
After an unknown amount of time, Fan Song called Lu Yao: "My computer is broken."
Lu Yao was guarding the river crossing gate. Hearing this, he stood up and came to check. He said regretfully: "The time is up."
Fan Song: "Time?"
Lu Yao: "When adults come to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet, it's just like going to a restaurant in the human world. They all spend money to have fun. The computer here belongs to the previous guest. She only paid for two hours of Internet access. When the time is up, she can't continue to play."
Xie Yi didn't charge for the computer, so she just gave him two hours.
Fan Song: "...How much does it cost to use the Internet?"
Fan Song and Xie Yi paid the Internet fee and continued to immerse themselves in the world of the 6399 mini game.
Lu Yao, however, asked them to open the folder of Fu Sheng Liu Jie Men in the novice tutorial.
Fu Sheng Liu Jie Men's learning materials have recently added a lot of content. Xiao Zhong made a table of the basic training he could think of, and also recorded a lot of videos of the young disciples practicing as "courseware" to analyze the playing methods.
Fan Song and Xie Yi were not interested at first when they watched the game videos.
But after listening to the two teaching videos of Xiao Zhong teaching the young disciples to play, they became a little curious.
In the video, the character controlled by the player only needs to follow Xiao Zhong's instructions and never fail.
Lu Yao took out two spare trumpets, and Xie Yi and Fan Song logged into the game with the idea of giving it a try.
They did not receive any novice training and started playing against AI directly.
The first few games were quite tough. The first time Fan Song entered the jungle, he was killed by the blue monster. Xie Yi was replenishing soldiers online, and he didn't pay attention to his position, which kept attracting the hatred of the soldiers, and was beaten to death by the soldiers.
This game is different from the previous single-player games. It has strong confrontation and it is very rewarding to get a kill. After playing a few games, I couldn't let go.
Until the sky was slightly bright, the sound of water came from the surface of the river. Li Shijun walked ashore in a daze, and crawled out of the river gate with a pair of crippled legs. Lu Yao
hadn't slept all night, and when he saw her, he immediately reached out to help her.
Li Shijun's expression relaxed a little, and she opened her mouth but no sound came out.
Xie Yi and Fan Song's eyes flashed with regret, and they put down their hands without hesitation, not caring about the unfinished game, and stood up and walked over, and immediately snatched Li Shijun from Lu Yao's hands.
Xie Yi: "This fox demon opened the door to cross the river privately, and we have to take her back for trial."
Li Shijun did not resist, and Lu Yao let go of her hand.
Every world has its own rules, and it is a blessing to pass the task by picking up a loophole. She can't interfere with more.
Li Shijun's legs have been corroded by the river water to the point that the bones are almost visible, and only a little sparse flesh is left, like rags stuck to the bones.
Lu Yao frowned, took out his Qiankun bag, found a bottle of healing medicine and handed it over.
Li Shijun turned away and did not take it.
Xie Yi: "Ordinary medicine can't heal the wounds left by the river water. She doesn't appreciate it, you don't have to worry about her."
Lu Yao handed the bottle of medicine to Xie Yi: "She doesn't want to use it for the time being, but she may need it in the future. Please help her get it to her."
Xie Yi: "..."
Before leaving, Fan Song stood at the river crossing gate and looked back reluctantly.
In just a thousand years, there is such a fun place in the world, but it's a pity that he is no longer in this world.
Lu Yao quickly stuffed the unfinished snacks and drinks on the plate to them and said, "Take them home and eat them. Come back next time when you have time."
Xie Yi and Fan Song did not refuse. The snacks in the store were indeed good. They had never seen them when they were still in the human world.
But the next time they met this human shop owner, it would probably be inside the door.
The life of the human race is really short.
After sending off the two ghost messengers, Lu Yao saw the gate to cross the river closed again and the wall of the Internet cafe restored to its original state. He immediately opened the system interface and found that the icon of the ghost tribe had indeed been lit up.
[Lu Yao's super-time and space Internet cafe has become more popular and upgraded to a three-star store. Reward popularity value +3000, special mustard seed world +1, please keep up the hard work! ]
The task progress +1, the store upgrade, Lu Yao is in a good mood.
Even if she didn't sleep all night, she didn't feel tired at all.
At the door of the Internet cafe, there were three or two demon tribes standing.
They were scared by the opening of the ghost gate last night and ran away. They returned to the cave in shock and practiced in the middle of the night. When the sky was bright, they couldn't help but run out again, but hesitated at the door.
Lu Yao first sent a message to the staff who were resting in the hot spring hotel, and then used the sound transmission jade talisman to notify Jiao Niang, and then opened the door of the store.
The demon guests looked at Lu Yao and poked their heads into the store. There was nothing wrong with the people and the store.
Lu Yao stepped aside and said, "I am sorry for scaring you all yesterday. To express my apology, you can get a free grilled sausage from the canteen when you enter the store today." The grilled
sausage, which is usually the most popular, was not attractive at this time. The demons stood at the door, wanting to go in but not daring.
The little leopard demon Wen Rong walked through the demons and came to Lu Yao: "Elder, the ghost gate opened last night, is there anything wrong in the store?"
Lu Yao: "The matter has been resolved, so there is nothing wrong."
Zhu Ying also squeezed over: "I saw the ghost messenger upstairs, is there really nothing wrong?"
Lu Yao: "If there is really something wrong, how can I stand here and talk to you."
The demons thought about it for a while and it was indeed the case.
But I don't know what they thought about privately, and they looked at the owner with more and more awe.
The customer tiptoed into the Internet cafe. The water for crossing the river had been drained and the ghost gate had long been closed.
Later, Ji Feiming brought breakfast, and Ji Feichen also came to work. The familiar smell of food was everywhere.
Wen Rong and Zhu Ying had a small mountain of food in front of them, calling it "rewarding themselves for a night of shock."
Wen Rong took a bite of a fist-sized barbecued pork bun, squinting his eyes and sighing: "This is the taste. If I can't eat it one day, I will go crazy."
Zhu Ying took a red bean paste bun and ate it, holding the mouse to check the deposit in the account.
When she fled in a hurry last night, she was desperate.
Obviously, she only needed to wait a few more days to buy Tianming Lip Purple and the new Cyberpunk Eyeshadow, but the gates of hell opened.
Forget about the demons, and the human clerks in the store will definitely die.
When she fled in a hurry, she and Wen Rong actually subconsciously wanted to take Brother Zhong out, but they were one step later than Jiao Niang.
After escaping outside, they still searched in the woods for a few circles, but they didn't find Brother Zhong.
The owner has a strong background. He is not afraid of demons and monsters. He can even deal with the ghost messengers in the underworld. Who else is going to the underworld to overcome the tribulation?
Zhu Ying paused and turned to look at Wen Rong in despair: "Is the owner a human?"
Wen Rong: "Are you crazy?"
Zhu Ying: "She doesn't practice cultivation. Her life span is at most a hundred years. After a hundred years, will the Internet cafe still be there?"
The barbecued pork bun in Wen Rong's hand fell to the ground: "..."
---
Lu Yao asked Xiao Zhong to rest in the hot spring hotel for a day. If he wanted to go home, he could come to work in the afternoon.
As for Jiao Niang, she also notified her with a sound transmission jade talisman.
Lu Yao sat on a recliner behind the bar, holding a golden seed the size of a grain of rice in his palm - the mustard seed world, a reward for upgrading the Internet cafe.
The so-called mustard seed world is the world in the seed.
Broadly speaking, it was probably that there was a world inside this tiny seed.
However, there was no explanation for this reward. Lu Yao didn't know how to enter the mustard seed world, nor did she know what world was inside.
It was like she got a very powerful tool, but she didn't know how to use it.
"Did the ghost gate open last night?"
A familiar voice sounded in front of her, and Lu Yao looked up.
Ze Yuan came from nowhere, his black robe was disheveled, and his long black hair was scattered behind him, still dripping. Lu Yao
sat up: "Did you just get out of the bath?"
Ze Yuan's brows tightened, he pulled up her hands and spread them out, looking her up and down: "The water from the Wangchuan River flowed back into the store, are you okay?" Lu
Yao shook her head: "I'm fine."
Ze Yuan's tense expression relaxed, and he sat down beside her, raised his hand and pinched a spell, and golden light flowed from his fingertips. The disheveled Demon Lord changed into a robe in the blink of an eye, and his hair was dry, but not tied up yet.
Lu Yao: "How about I help you tie your hair?"
Ze Yuan lowered his eyelids: "Okay."
[Author's words]
In fact, black hair and red eyes are Xiao A's original skin.
