Ji Xiunian never dreamed that he would come to a marine life store to eat seafloor fish.
Just like the seafloor fish store, the service here is customer-oriented. As soon as the two entered the door, several waiters gathered around and said in a loud voice: "Welcome!"
The waiters, who were quite enthusiastic at first, first greeted Lu Xu and Ji Xiunian warmly, but when they looked down and saw the eighth sister on the ground, their faces changed again and again, and they subconsciously scattered: "Cat, it's a cat... "
A group of waiters huddled together and trembled, thinking about providing service but also very afraid of cats.
Almost all the staff's eyes conveyed a wish, don't come over, don't come over, this cat must not come over.
However, Eighth Sister suddenly became excited, wagging her tail at the clerk, licking her mouth tenderly with her tongue, as if she saw something delicious.
Seeing that the clerks were trying to squeeze together to avoid Eighth Sister, Lu Xu bent down, picked up Eighth Sister, and nodded to them, as a comfort to her brother.
They all looked like humans, but Ji Xiunian inexplicably felt that these people seemed different.
"That... they shouldn't be human, right?" The two found a seat by the window and sat down, ordered two scoops of soup with tomato and butter, and asked in a low voice when no one was around.
Ji Xiunian had just finished asking when he lowered his eyes and saw that the waiter walked a little strangely - other people walked on their feet, but he jumped on his shells.
Wait, shells?
Ji Xiunian carefully checked and found that the waiter really had a shell, just like the tail of a mantis shrimp that was enlarged. If you didn't know, you would think he was cosplaying.
Lu Xu looked in the direction of Ji Xiunian's sight, and when he saw Ji Xiunian's face, he gave a positive answer: "This is a mantis shrimp spirit..." While talking, Lu Xu looked around and introduced to Ji Xiunian, "That's an octopus spirit, and the stronger one is a shark spirit..."
Ji Xiunian listened to Lu Xu's words and found that the employees of this seabed fishing shop were all seafood.
When he learned that the one who gave them shrimp slippery food was a prawn spirit, Ji Xiunian felt that his worldview was refreshed again.
Not long after the two arrived at the seabed fishing shop, there was a thunderstorm and heavy rain outside.
Thunder roared, raindrops fell rapidly, and people's moods became inexplicably irritable.
Ji Xiunian looked at the raindrops hitting the window glass, and always felt that the gloomy world seemed to be brewing something.
It is difficult to describe this feeling, as if some danger has awakened in the dark and is falling on the earth with the rain.
"Hiss~~" Ji Xiunian was lost in thought, and his wrist suddenly hurt. The stinging pain flashed by but was so piercing that he couldn't help but let out a low cry, and his body was instantly wet with cold sweat.
"Brother Nian, what's wrong with you?" Lu Xu saw Ji Xiunian's reaction, and seeing him covering his wrist with pain on his face, he couldn't help but get up to check.
It feels great to be cared for by your lover, even if it hurts, it doesn't feel that unbearable.
Not wanting to worry Lu Xu, Ji Xiunian softened his tone and said to him, "It just hurt a little bit just now. I don't know the exact reason."
Lu Xu took Ji Xiunian's wrist to check, and saw that the place where the mark was originally appeared abnormal again. The first time Lu Xu noticed Ji Xiunian's wrist was when the two met for the first time. At that time, he thought he was marked by a ghost and wanted to meet him. Later, the mark suddenly disappeared, so Lu Xu didn't think too much. After all, with him around, even if there was a real ghost, the other party would not dare to act rashly, so it was normal to give up the target.
But today, something strange happened. Although Ji Xiunian's wrist did not turn black, it turned red, as if it was burned by evil thoughts. Although it was not marked again, it at least proved that something had hit Ji Xiunian.
Ji Xiunian naturally saw the mark on his wrist. Seeing Lu Xu's serious expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this problem serious?"
"Serious." Lu Xu first threw out two words with a cold face, and then smiled at Ji Xiunian, as if to comfort him, "I mean that the consequences of provoking my people are very serious. Don't worry, brother Nian, no one will want to hurt you..." Before
Lu Xu finished speaking, a new order suddenly came to the Death God Home App -
[Hello, respected Death God, a new customer is about to ascend to heaven at Xijiekou, Dongcheng District, please go to receive the order...]
Xijiekou?
Lu Xu and Ji Xiunian looked at each other when they heard this -
they just came from Xijiekou, and they didn't expect to go back so soon.
It was raining heavily outside. Lu Xu looked at the eighth sister who was eating hot pot seriously and gently said, "Eighth sister, be good and eat here. We will be back soon." Seeing the seafood who bravely helped the eighth sister cook seafood, Lu Xu kindly added, "Don't eat live things."
After saying that, regardless of the eighth sister's reaction, he took Ji Xiunian to the customer's location.
Visibility was very low on a rainy night. The entire street was soaked by the heavy rain. It looked muddy and damp.
Large areas of urban buildings are piled up, and the streets are full of concrete products. There is very little green space.
The rain hit the ground and could not penetrate. It quickly gathered into a stream and flowed down. Soon, there was water accumulation.
Lu Xu and Ji Xiunian came to the intersection where the incident happened. They smelled blood before they saw the new customer.
Ji Xiunian looked down and saw blood in the water under his feet. The smell of rain mixed with blood was even stronger. Ji Xiunian has been the god of death for a while and has seen all kinds of deaths, but this is the first time he has seen such a bloody scene. There was
still a woman screaming at the entrance of the alley, but soon there was no movement.
[Your client has ascended to heaven, please provide her with satisfactory and thoughtful service in time...]
Even without the app prompt, Ji Xiunian and Lu Xu knew that the blood-stained woman in front of them was obviously dead. She stood beside her body like a wooden chicken, watching the man in a black raincoat holding a knife and giggling at her body.
Rain fell from the sky, landing on the woman's body, washing the blood further.
Her eyes were lifeless, and even her last glance was on her cart. No one knew what she was thinking before she died.
This was obviously a murder scene, and the murderer was standing there with a knife in his hand for a long time, as if he was admiring his own work.
Ji Xiunian had never expected this to happen, and was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he wanted to catch the murderer, but was grabbed by Lu Xu: "Our client is not him..."
The Grim Reaper is responsible for leading the dead, and the rest has nothing to do with them.
Ji Xiunian had already memorized these rules, but when he saw the familiar face of the new client, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
The woman who was grilling squid for them just now, now fell in a pool of blood, a life gone in an instant, no one could help her.
"Zhao Hongxia, female, 42 years old..."
Who would have thought that she was only in her early 40s, but her face had been destroyed by time and she looked like a 50-year-old. Not long ago, the owner of this face shared with them the good news that her child would soon be able to have surgery with a simple smile. At
that time, she thought she had finally gotten what she wanted, never thinking that fate had never been kind to her.
"Am I... dead?" The woman didn't know why. The man who came to buy the barbecue became the god of death who took her away.
She looked down at herself lying on the ground, looking like a tattered rag doll, and then at the cart she used to make a living. She felt that everything was so unreal.
Today, she was just like in the past. When it was almost time, she was ready to go home to wash up. After all, she had to go to work early in the morning.
The rain came fast and fell before she could take two steps.
Just as she was pushing the cart to go home in a hurry, the young man in the black raincoat blocked her way.
Zhao Hongxia was about to ask him to move aside when she heard the man suddenly whisper, "Life is tiring, isn't it? It's okay, I'll help you. You won't have to work so hard soon..."
Before Zhao Hongxia could figure out what he meant, he had already rushed over.
The moment the sharp knife pierced into her body, Zhao Hongxia's first reaction was not fear, but she suddenly thought, if she was gone, what would happen to her husband and children?
