Chapter 55 Mother...Wife...Mistress...
"Thank you for your help, classmate. You can go out now. Someone will settle the bill with you later. Thank you for your hard work." Yue Yiyue stepped aside to remind the classmate, who looked a little younger than him, that it was time to leave.
The classmate glanced at the strange person sitting opposite him, then looked up at Yue Yiyue: "Then you be careful. I'll be outside. If anything seems wrong, come out."
After saying that, she hurriedly grabbed her things and walked out.
"What a good girl." The strange waiter watched the student's departing figure with a smile: "No matter how I tried to entice her, she just talked nonsense."
"Isn't this exactly what you were thinking?" Yue Yiyue sat down opposite her, looking at the delicate little cakes on the table. Her stomach twitched slightly. After this experience, she really didn't want to see such things for a while.
"And what about you? What are your wishes?"
"I want your friend to come back."
"still?"
Yue Yiyue picked up the cake and examined it closely to see what made it different.
Why do two people taste different when eating together?
The conversation fell silent.
The waitress wasn't in a hurry. She leaned forward, rested her chin on her hand, and stared at Yue Yiyue's expression: "Are you curious about the ingredients of this cake?"
"I didn't use any fancy ingredients back then, just a little bit in a regular cake, well, in your normal human language, this thing is called faith."
As he spoke, his voice rose towards the end, and there was a hint of excitement in his words.
"It tastes like mango now. Since you've already eaten some, would you like to savor it?"
"Actually, I should just kill you right now, but I kind of like you, so I want you to sit with me for a while."
Under the table, the waiter's toes traced a small section of Yue Yiyue's trouser leg, lifting it up slightly.
Yue Yiyue silently moved to the side.
"I see." Looking at this palm-sized cake, Yue Yiyue found it rather amusing that this thing was actually related to faith.
A faint noise came from the cabinet next to them. It wasn't loud, but it still caught the attention of the waiter.
Yue Yiyue had a bad feeling.
The waitress clicked her tongue, her eyes fixed on the back of the counter, and said with interest, "It seems there are some naughty little mice that haven't been cleaned out."
Yue Yiyue immediately became alert. That classmate had already left, so who else was there?
Is she a shop assistant?
Or just someone passing by.
There was no time to waste. Yue Yiyue's mind raced. She interrupted the waiter's thoughts, then sat back down, blocking the waiter's view: "Is there a price to pay for eating this?"
"Oh? I thought you wouldn't care about this. Of course, it's my rule, and no one can break it~"
Having received a definite answer, Yue Yiyue flicked his wrist, stretched forward, and the cake landed precisely in the waiter's mouth.
"What does it taste like?" A flash of white light appeared on Yue Yiyue's hand, and a small wound appeared on the waiter's throat.
No blood was flowing out.
The skin in that area throbbed, as if something hidden beneath the skin had found an exit and was eagerly trying to emerge.
With a popping sound, a black eyeball emerged from the wound.
"It's no use." The waitress looked at Yue Yiyue, her fingers tracing across his throat, touching the skin there. Her eyes narrowed under his touch, but her gaze never left Yue Yiyue: "You're already on our radar, and it's just my rule."
"My rules—"
"There's no chance—"
"After you die, the little mouse will come and keep you company~"
"You can't protect anything, because you are a weak human being."
The sound grew increasingly ethereal and elusive, like the murmur of a strange creature from some distant abyss.
It pierced through that thin layer of skin and then burrowed into Yue Yiyue's head.
In that instant, Yue Yiyue was pinned to the spot, unable to move. What exactly was this monster in front of him?
Unfortunately, no one could give Yue Yiyue a definite answer; she was completely enveloped by layers upon layers of eyeballs.
The feeling was strange, like being enveloped in a balloon, with a strange dampness, and you could feel the movement of eyeballs on the exposed skin.
The sight before her was so horrifying that her brain was overloaded, and the compression of her chest made it difficult for her to breathe.
what to do?
That small commotion disrupted Yue Yiyue's original plan; Gu Ye hadn't arrived yet, and the forensic doctor was still on his way.
Damn it, how is she supposed to get out of here?
Brain, damn it, get it working, don't let it collapse here.
Gu Nanqiu...Gu Nanqiu...
We must bring Gu Nanqiu back...
And those girls who were harmed by this...
With insufficient oxygen supply to his brain, Yue Yiyue felt as if he was really about to collapse here...
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz—"
Such sounds kept appearing in my ears, as if they were right next to me, yet also as if they were far away on the horizon.
A strange tinnitus occurred, and the popping sound disappeared.
Instead, a gentle female voice came through, so gentle that Yue Yiyue momentarily thought he was hearing Gu Nanqiu's voice.
It's not quite like usual, there's something hazy about it.
She instinctively waved her hand and immediately felt something black creeping along her hand toward a certain place.
"Pop!"
One eyeball ruptured, and the others quickly followed suit.
"Buzzing sounds".
"Hey, something's not right?" The waiter looked at the things in Yue Yiyue's hands, seemingly puzzled as to why they had suddenly broken.
The next moment, the waitress watched helplessly as the glass next to her shattered. Before she even realized what was happening, more and more eyeballs appeared on her body, causing her excruciating pain.
As soon as her eyeball ruptured, Yue Yiyue fell to the ground, crawling on her stomach in a disheveled state.
Her eyes seemed to be blinded by the aftereffects of suffocation, so she could not see anything, only knowing that there was a soft, long strip under her.
It felt wet and soft to the touch; this was definitely not the same feeling I had seen before.
Instead, they resembled those strange tentacles with which they had once had a brief interaction.
She gently stroked the soft, long strip under her palm, carefully rubbing it to make sure it was really what she wanted.
The tentacle, refraining from immediately going on strike, lay down on Yue Yiyue's hand and acted coquettishly. It swiftly crushed the eyeballs of those around it that still wanted to rush in and attack Yue Yiyue.
As darkness fell, a faint ringing in my ears lingered.
The air was more humid, and if Yue Yiyue's eyesight was normal, she could see the fog.
A tall, slender figure drew closer and closer through the thick fog.
The howling wind made Yue Yiyue feel uneasy.
The taste of seawater grew stronger.
The sound of the door opening rang out, and the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms soothed Yue Yiyue's nerves, as if telling her that there was no need to worry or be afraid.
As if sensing something, Yue Yiyue turned her head, and a black figure vaguely appeared in her eyes.
"A leap." The voice was slightly distorted, gentle, and familiar; I had heard it on the phone just a while ago.
"Mom...Mom...?" Yue Yiyue turned around in a daze, and for some reason, she felt that her eyes could see again.
But all that could be seen was a tall woman in a business suit standing in front of him.
It seemed to be a combination of big, wavy hair, red lips, and a beautiful, deep red mole on her collarbone.
Yue Yiyue felt like she had seen this person somewhere before.
Soon, the knowledge in my mind told me that this was the mother who raised the original owner of the body.
She is a mother who can be trusted no matter what.
“Baby… such a big thing happened, why didn’t you tell your mother?” She sighed and patted the child who didn’t like to be spoiled, her eyes filled with doting and helplessness, just like any ordinary parent who indulges their child.
The moment the woman entered, the waitress's smile froze completely, her eyes filled with fear. Impossible, impossible.
How did she end up here?
It's not that....
Damn it... who let her go?
It's clearly something we shouldn't interfere with!
Clearly...
"It seems like you shouldn't be here." The waiter squinted at the woman in front of him.
But her slightly trembling body betrayed her.
Out of fear, the waiter wanted to immediately kneel down on the woman's trousers, devoutly kiss her shoes, and beg her for strength.
But reason wouldn't allow it.
As long as she devours it... she will become this woman, or even surpass her.
The woman didn't speak; she picked up Yue Yiyue and said, "This is my daughter..."
As she said this, she smiled gently. Daughter, what a beautiful word, connecting them together. It's just a pity that Yue Yiyue wasn't really born from her soft womb, so he couldn't truly be connected to her by blood.
She brushed aside the stray hairs on her forehead, lowered her head and kissed Yue Yiyue's forehead. A faint golden wisp entered her head and quickly disappeared.
The woman pointed to the distance, and Wu Zhen, who had been hiding in the corner, was dragged out.
"Remember, it was you who saved her."
A wisp of black smoke drifted by, and thick tentacles swept up the waiter and the cake on the table, disappearing without a trace.
Only the broken glass testifies that something enormous once stood there.
Apart from Wu Zhen, who was forced to sit on another chair and trembling.
She seemed terrified, hiding her face in her hands, her whole body trembling slightly.
————
When Yue Yiyue woke up, her vision was still blurry. She touched her cold body and tears streamed down her face.
For some reason, she suddenly felt an unusual urge to call her mother.
But she can't.
There are more urgent matters to attend to now.
Just as he raised his hand to rub his eyes, a warm towel landed in Yue Yiyue's hand, guiding him to place the towel on his eyes.
"Look up, apply some ointment, it'll be fine in a bit. That monster was fighting with other monsters, and then it disappeared." Wu Zhen thought about what she had just seen, and her stomach churned. "That thing, it had eyes all over its body, was it really human?"
"I believe what you're saying about He Wu has nothing to do with you. He was obsessed with finding some kind of cake a while ago."
"sorry."
Yue Yiyue didn't speak. She just raised her head, feeling the heat on her eyelids. There was only one possibility for Wu Zhen to be here.
That was the person who foolishly made that sound.
However, Yue Yiyue couldn't say anything too harsh to Wu Zhen.
After all, given the current situation, it's likely that Wu Zhen was watching the two monsters fight and took advantage of the chaos to pull her out.
You could say, in a rounding-up fashion, that Wu Zhen saved her.
