19 The Man-Eating Hot Pot Restaurant (Part 8)
◎Did they use mental pollution against Wang Ming?◎
Zhu Ning rolled to the side, and Liu Niannian hid in the corner, trying to make her body as small as possible.
Zhu Ning: "The boss was a defective product. He was desperate and saw Yongsheng Pharmaceutical's recruitment for an experiment. Yongsheng Pharmaceutical sent him a culture chamber and treatment drugs. The experiment was probably about injecting small doses of contaminants to slowly change the human body, but the experiment failed."
Zhu Ning stared at the mirror. With every word she spoke, the room changed. The figures of Zhu Ning and Liu Niannian in the mirror disappeared, and the mirror no longer looked like a mirror.
Liu Niannian discovered that Zhu Ning’s words were not meant for her, but for the source of the pollution.
"The boss's body has undergone a mutation, and it's difficult to conceal his appearance. He's had no choice but to move to the basement to avoid people. Yang Tao is the only one who can go there to take care of him. He and Yang Tao have an agreement: if anything happens to him, Yang Tao will kill him immediately."
The bell in the store is the bed call bell.
The guillotine might have been prepared at that time. The hot pot restaurant owner found a safety device for himself. If he really became an uncontrollable pollutant, Yang Tao would press the mechanism immediately.
"He thought he could avoid harming others by hiding, but he didn't realize that once he became contaminated, he would continue to cause radioactive contamination, mentally polluting others."
"The first person to be contaminated was Xiaohui. When she was checking out, she felt like her drawer was full of fingers. She suspected the meat her boss was feeding customers was fishy. She looked at Yang Tao like he was a pig's head. She was in a trance every day, and everything she saw was a threat."
brush--
Zhu Ning didn't completely avoid the fourth attack, and the guillotine slashed across her back. Zhu Ning was more experienced than last time, so she quickly patched it up and continued to apply healing agent.
"Xiaohui later left. She may not have died in the store at all; she simply resigned. After she asked to resign, the boss let her go. But after she left, panic spread, and others started to overthink things."
"Wang Ming was already mentally polluted. Xiaohui's departure was like death to him. He began to wonder if Xiaohui's meat had been sent to the kitchen? Had it been put into the hot pot? What kind of meat is used in hot pot restaurants?"
From the very beginning, the Hao Zhai Lai Hotpot Restaurant was just an incident of collective spiritual pollution.
Zhu Ning surveyed the room, searching for a way out. "Wang Ming suspected he would be the next to die, so he began observing the boss, hoping to strike first. He entered the boss's medicine room and learned that he had been injecting drugs and conducting body modification experiments."
"Wang Ming smashed a hole in the floor of the medicine room and saw the boss's secret. It turned out that the boss was a defective product."
boom--
There was a very strange noise coming from the mirror. Liu Niannian almost wanted to die after taking a look at it.
They were moving, the mirrors were moving. The mirrors on the four walls were slowly shifting, and if Zhu Ning and Liu Niannian didn't leave, they would turn into compressed biscuits.
Liu Niannian subconsciously looked up at the hole in the ceiling. He knew he could go back to where he came from.
But when she looked up, she met dozens of eerie eyes. The pig-headed man and the others had recovered. They were standing around the hole with blood on their faces, looking at her with smiles on their faces.
It’s over, it’s over, all the roads up, down, left and right are blocked.
Zhu Ning angered the source of pollution, and the polluted area began to enter hunting mode.
Liu Niannian looked at Zhu Ning for help, asking her to find a way to leave quickly, but she seemed to be fascinated by the story and insisted on chatting with a pollutant.
He looks like he's asking for death and won't stop until he completely irritates the source of pollution.
Zhu Ning dodged the attack again, her eyes never leaving the mirror from beginning to end.
"Wang Ming had a murder plan in mind. He sneaked into the basement while the boss was sleeping and Yang Tao wasn't paying attention. He stood by the boss's bed, and then..." Zhu Ning paused deliberately, "raised the knife."
Wang Ming said the opposite in the recording. He said the boss was standing beside his bed, but in fact it was Wang Ming who was standing beside the boss's bed holding a knife.
The four walls suddenly began to distort, and pig faces were reflected in the mirror. Their eyeballs were bulging, like three-dimensional reliefs. Liu Niannian would rather commit suicide than be squeezed into a pulp by this thing.
The potential energy of the guillotine in the house was getting smaller and smaller due to inertia, and Liu Niannian crawled towards Zhu Ning carefully.
"The boss is dead, but he was already contaminated before his death. So, after his death, he released contaminated spores. Just one of them is enough for the contaminant to regenerate. The blood-red contaminated spores instinctively seek out a host. Wang Ming didn't take any protective measures before killing someone, so he was parasitized by the contaminated spores."
The pig-headed people on the mirror began to struggle. They seemed to be angered by Zhu Ning and wanted to break free from the shackles of the mirror.
Zhu Ning was definitely here to provoke. She spoke faster and faster. "Wang Ming didn't lose his mind immediately after being infected by the contaminated spores, but he could clearly feel something inside him. He didn't expect that killing his boss wouldn't end the nightmare, but instead brought about a new one. He didn't know how to get the contaminated spores out of his body."
"When the pollution symptoms started to show up that day, he wanted surgery to get a pair of eyes after his eyes started changing, and he wanted surgery to get a pair of hands after his arms started changing."
"Later, he realized that the difference between pollutants and people with special abilities was that the latter could retain their sanity. He thought he was clever and had found a solution, so he began offering a large reward for the genes of people with special abilities."
"But no one paid any attention to this ridiculous reward."
"Shut up!" The pig face in the mirror gradually distorted.
Success, Zhu Ning thought, she finally succeeded in angering him by committing suicide.
"The will of ordinary people cannot resist the erosion of pollutants. The next day, the pollutants in your body begin to take over. The instinct of pollutants is to reproduce, and they will find ways to contaminate more people."
Zhu Ning changed the storyteller's perspective and now spoke directly to Wang Ming.
"Your sanity collapsed, and you became the source of pollution for the hot pot restaurant, and you also became the master of the hot pot restaurant."
The interior of the hot pot restaurant is a pyramid structure, and standing at the top of the pyramid is Wang Ming.
"You put the boss's body back on the bed and pretended he was still alive. Everyone in the hot pot restaurant was mentally polluted and confused, and couldn't tell the difference. Even Yang Tao had forgotten what the boss had told him."
"You cut into the boss's flesh, wanting to contaminate more people. Those who were mentally contaminated would find the boss's rotten meat delicious, becoming the hot pot restaurant's golden sign. At the same time, you continued the hot pot restaurant's tradition and continuously recruited new employees, until one day, the contaminated area could no longer be controlled and attacked the diners."
That day, tentacles emerged from the hot pot, wrapped around a customer's chopsticks, and then pulled the person into the pot. The serious incident forced the hot pot restaurant to close, claiming the owner was ill.
Thirty years ago, pollutants in the corners of the federal districts were not thoroughly checked, and with limited human resources, they only knew that there was a pollution source on this street.
But hot pot restaurants are very stable. Unknown to the world, they have formed a perfect ecological closed loop within themselves.
They kill each other, and only a few customers who are obsessed with the hot pot restaurant come to eat and become their new kind, so the federal government only put up a warning sign.
Until Liu Niannian, the curious rich second generation, came.
At the same time that Liu Niannian stepped into the hot pot restaurant, the cleaning center forum scrolled and a gray tomb post appeared. The hot pot restaurant successfully attracted Zhu Ning.
"Are you done?" A face slowly emerged in the center of the mirror. His face had been cut and sewn together, and it was distorted and huge, a full two meters tall.
Wang Ming, the real source of pollution has appeared.
Wang Ming's face was two meters away from Zhu Ning, and Zhu Ning could even see Wang Ming's round eyes.
The four walls squeezed in, and the area where Zhu Ning and Liu Niannian were was only five meters wide, leaving them with no way to escape.
Zhu Ning stood up. She was surrounded by walls on four sides, and her body was cut into countless pieces by the mirror.
The source of pollution appeared, but Zhu Ning didn't move, she didn't raise her gun. What was Zhu Ning doing? Shoot quickly, isn't she a good shot?
Is she mentally polluted?
Liu Niannian trembled as he raised his gun. Bang, bang, bang, Liu Niannian fired several shots in a row. But the bullets spun into the mirror and were sucked in like jelly.
It's useless. Guns can't kill the source of pollution in front of us.
"That's all." Zhu Ning responded calmly.
Click, click——
The sound of the mirror breaking was very harsh, and the broken lenses were scattered all over the floor.
Liu Niannian's face was pale as she watched a giant creature emerge from the mirror. Its head was as big as a wall, about three meters tall. The stitches on its face were clearly visible, and several sharp pieces of broken lenses were stuck in its eyes.
Wang Ming opened his mouth wide, and Liu Niannian saw a huge black tongue at first glance, with disgusting bumps on the surface of the tongue coating.
What does he he he he he want to do? Swallow us all in one gulp?
Zhu Ning suddenly asked, "Do you feel guilty about killing the boss?"
Liu Niannian was extremely anxious. Why did Zhu Ning talk to pollutants? Did she think she was a pollutant psychologist?
"You said in the recording that you suspected you had killed the guest, and you were very scared and felt guilty," Zhu Ning said.
The recording was a trap left by Wang Ming to mentally pollute people who entered the polluted area later. The events he described might not be true, but his emotions were real.
Do you feel guilty? How deeply has Wang Ming been spiritually polluted?
The monster's open mouth suddenly stopped moving. Why didn't it move? The psychologist was actually useful. Liu Niannian was just happy, and then he heard a sharp sound.
It felt like hundreds of hands were scratching the blackboard at the same time, and the noise was so loud that she almost died on the spot.
"He was the one who wanted to kill me!" the pollution source shouted, "He was the one who wanted to kill me first!"
"I just fought back first, what's wrong with that?"
As he spoke, Liu Niannian saw hundreds of black flying insects pouring out of his mouth.
vomit--
Liu Niannian couldn't help but feel like vomiting.
Hundreds of flying insects swarmed towards him, searching for any tiny hole, any hole they could find to get in and eat his skin.
Zhu Ning was wearing protective clothing and a black full-body helmet. She looked very small standing in front of Wang Ming, like an ant standing in front of an elephant.
Zhu Ning raised his head and said calmly, "He didn't mean to kill you. This is all just a figment of your imagination."
The boss had no intention of killing.
Zhu Ning asked, "When you killed him, did he not struggle at all?"
Wang Ming frowned. Because his facial features were very large, his micro-expressions were hard to ignore. Liu Niannian felt that Wang Ming seemed to be in even more pain because of this sentence.
Wang Ming stood before his boss, knife in hand, with a fierce expression, looking at him as if he were a mortal enemy. But the boss looked at him calmly, at peace with his own death.
There was no ripple when the boss died, so he was not the source of pollution. The source of pollution must have obsessions. This world is a world based on spiritual value.
Shut up now! Liu Niannian wants to seal Zhu Ning's mouth. Please stop provoking him.
The entire basement was wriggling. The person lying on the hole in the ceiling was smiling and clapping. The 800-pound body of the dead boss was expanding infinitely.
"Shut up!"
"Go to hell, go to hell. If he dies, you should die too!"
The source of the pollution had a distorted face, and blood was slowly flowing down from the ceiling like a bloody waterfall, emitting a strong fishy smell.
Liu Niannian couldn't help it and shouted to Zhu Ning, "He's crazy! Shoot him!"
Zhu Ning really pissed people off. The source of pollution lost his mind and the entire hot pot restaurant was shaking.
Zhu Ning remained motionless. Liu Niannian confirmed that guns were ineffective in this contaminated area. Zhu Ning still had a bomb in his backpack. The simplest and quickest option at this point was to blow it up, but the basement was now a confined space. Zhu Ning was immune to explosives in the event of an explosion, and Liu Niannian was killed instantly.
She wanted to complete the task in another way, so Zhu Ning opened her system panel.
System: [The rotten fish head has been opened. This will consume 5 health points. Do you want to use Mind Pollution on Wang Ming?]
Zhu Ning: "Use it."
Since Wang Ming was deeply spiritually polluted, Zhu Ning didn't mind giving him some more supplements.
