The tiger demon glanced at Little Gray, then said, "I'm going out to find some food for the boss. You guys keep an eye on the restaurant."
As soon as Little Gray heard the tiger demon's words, he knew what it meant and immediately nodded seriously, saying, "Okay, I understand."
As the tiger demon turned to leave, Xiao Hui showed a relaxed expression. He had only been working there for a few days, so he didn't know much about the restaurant's secrets. However, he did learn from his colleagues that the restaurant's owner was a powerful demon who liked to eat people!
The boss liked to send tiger demons out to catch people for him to eat, and sometimes they would catch customers in the restaurant to eat. However, their boss had been eating too many people recently, which may have attracted the attention of the metaphysical community in the human world, so things had quieted down for a while.
However, after hearing the tiger demon say that he was going out to find food for the boss, Xiao Hui knew that the boss was craving food again. However, all the employees in their restaurant knew what the boss had done and also knew what the rules of the human world were, but none of the employees dared to report it.
Not long after the tiger demon left, a man dressed in a gray Taoist robe entered the restaurant. As soon as Xiao Hui saw the man, he knew who he was, but he still pretended to greet the man as if he were an ordinary customer.
"Hello, sir, how many people are in your party?"
The man in the Taoist robe knew immediately upon seeing Xiao Hui that he wasn't human. With a serious expression, he took out his work ID from his pocket and said, "Hello, I'm from the management department of the metaphysics world. I'm here today to check on your shop. Please show me your identification."
Little Grey has recently encountered many people from the metaphysical world investigating them, so it didn't seem strange to them. It took out its demon certificate as a matter of course and said, "Okay, take a look."
After looking at Xiao Hui's identification, the man in the Taoist robe said, "Could you please take me inside to see your boss?"
The man in the taekwondo uniform wasn't just there to check IDs; he was there to investigate the restaurant. His department had received numerous reports of missing persons, including both humans and yokai. Several of the missing were employees of the management office, and all of them had visited the "Shi Ren" restaurant or been in the vicinity of it before their disappearances.
Actually, when the disappearance case first started, the metaphysical community didn't suspect the restaurant at all; they suspected that some other monster or something else was behind it.
The reason they later suspected this restaurant was because after another colleague from the management office went missing, their department tracked the missing person's phone and located it here. Moreover, the location was only for a short time and then disappeared. So, the metaphysical community began to suspect this strange restaurant.
When the restaurant became suspicious, the owner began to reform it. He suppressed the demonic energy and changed the restaurant to allow demons to dine there as well, instead of just serving humans.
Xiao Hui led the man in the martial arts uniform into the restaurant lobby and said to a waiter who was serving food, "Hei Zi, this comrade is looking for our boss."
Hei Zi was serving food to a table of guests when he heard Xiao Hui's words. He turned around and said, "Brother Quan is probably upstairs. Why don't you go up and call him?"
Upon hearing this, Little Gray said, "Oh, okay, please wait a moment."
When the man in the Taoist robe saw Kuroko, he immediately realized that he was not a monster but a cultivator. He just didn't know why Kuroko was working in this restaurant. In the man's mind, if a restaurant was run by a monster, all the waiters should be monsters.
As the man in the kimono looked at Kuroko, Kuroko was also observing him. However, from the man's eyes, Kuroko had already discerned his thoughts. His thoughts were simple: this man was simply curious as to why a human like himself would be working here.
Hei Zi understood the man in the taekwondo uniform's thoughts but didn't show any expression. He simply continued doing his work and said calmly, "Our boss will be down soon. Please wait a moment."
The man in the martial arts uniform didn't say anything; he simply stood aside and waited for the boss to come out.
Two minutes later, a man in a suit followed Xiao Hui downstairs. His figure looked very similar to the man who had been standing outside the private room on the second floor.
