Chapter 83 Tracking
After everyone in the restaurant had ordered their meals, two waiters walked into the kitchen with notebooks.
About half an hour later, they each came out from the kitchen pushing a small food cart and started serving food to the guests sitting at the tables.
Most of the newcomers ordered salads and pasta, while the restaurant's existing customers ordered signature dishes.
After a while, the short-haired waiter came to Xie Liang's table with a food cart.
"Hello, excuse me, let me serve you the food." After she said that, she took out two plates covered with lids from the dining cart and placed them in front of the two female customers.
A fishy smell mixed with the smell of brandy emanated faintly from the two plates. The two female customers did not rush to lift the lids of the dishes, but instead obsessively sniffed the smell emanating from the food in the plates.
Then the waiter brought them two baguettes each. After serving their dishes, it was finally Xie Liang's turn to order the four glasses of lemonade.
After all the dishes on this table were served, she pushed the food cart to the next table.
Shi Xiaoyin picked up the glass of water with a few lemon slices in it and looked at it: "Is this water poisonous?"
"Probably not." Xie Liang said.
"What a huge loss! I ordered these things for only two or three hundred yuan!" Lu Bubu said as he picked up the water cup and took a sip, then immediately pouting and frowning.
Shi Xiaoyin quickly covered his mouth, which was about to spit out water: "Swallow it! Don't waste it! Otherwise, you will be in trouble!"
Under Shi Xiaoyin's coercion, Lu Bubu swallowed the lemonade with a painful look on his face.
"Fuck! That's so sour!"
Just then, the two female customers finally smelled enough and reached out to lift the lid of the plate with anticipation.
The moment the lid of the dish was opened, the smell of wine and fishy smell became stronger.
It was a plate of liver-colored meat sauce, and it was impossible to tell what it was made of. They couldn't wait to pick up the baguettes on the side and dip them in the sauce to eat.
Apart from these adventers, all the customers who were originally sitting in the restaurant were eating with gusto.
"Who should we follow later? Who is Mr. Liu?" asked Lu Bubu.
"Everyone here could be one of them. Let's try the process of elimination first," Xie Liang said.
Xie Liang's idea was: when these customers finished their meals and left, the people who had eaten at the same table with them would send them home. This way, there was a high probability of completing the "dinner with Mr. Liu, send Mr. Liu home" mission. As long as one of them could complete the mission, the door would open.
Then he expressed his idea, and after that they discussed it again and decided to seize the time to persuade the Adventers at other tables to cooperate with them before these customers finished their meals.
Except for Xu He, they split into three groups and went to different tables to lobby other adventers. Most of them expressed their willingness to cooperate, and only a few were skeptical.
The existing customers of these restaurants ate very slowly, and it took almost two hours for someone to finish eating and go to the front desk to pay the bill.
The cashiers at the front desk were still the same two waiters. After they collected the money from the two customers, they printed out a receipt for them.
The two Adventers following behind them were stopped by the two waitresses: "Sir, please pay your bill before leaving."
The two Adventers obviously didn't expect to have to pay. They stood there for a few seconds, and after they reacted, they began to quickly search their bags and pockets.
After paying the bill safely, they hurriedly chased after the two customers at the door.
Then, two more tables of customers went to pay at the same time, and the corresponding Adventers at those tables followed suit. One of them didn't have enough money to pay, so he forced himself to follow the two customers out the door.
The female receptionist standing at the door did not stop him, but instead gave him a rather strange smile.
The man who didn't pay ran a few steps out the door and suddenly covered his stomach and screamed.
"It hurts! Help! My stomach! Something's coming out of my stomach!"
The man struggled and fell to the ground at the restaurant door, twitching. The two Adventers walking in front of him looked at him for a few seconds and continued to chase the customers who were walking away in front.
"What's wrong with him?" Shi Xiaoyin asked.
"Could it be that the food was poisonous?" Xie Liang said.
"Poisonous? Everyone ate it, why is he the only one who got hurt?"
Xie Liang thought for a moment and said, "Could it be because he didn't pay the bill?"
While they were talking, the two women at their table finally finished their meal. They put down their plates, which had been licked till they were shiny, and stood up and walked towards the cashier.
"What should we do with some customers who have no one to take them to? Should we split up?" asked Lu Bubu.
As Xie Liang counted out the money for the bill, he said, "The requirement is to accompany Mr. Liu for dinner, and then to send Mr. Liu home. If no one sends the customer home, it means that no Adventer dine with him, so it would be useless to send him home."
After saying that, he stood up and walked quickly towards the cashier, inserted himself in front of the two women, and asked the waiter to pay for the four of them first.
The waitress glanced at Xie Liang who cut in line, took the money he handed over without saying anything, and started to issue him the bill.
The two women behind him complained, "Hey! Why are you cutting in line?"
"That's right, we were here first."
Xie Liang turned around and smiled at them: "Sorry, the four of us have something urgent to do." He pointed at the man lying on the ground outside the door, "We have to pay the bill quickly and go out to see what happened to him."
At this moment, the two women changed their expressions and whispered to each other: "Wow! He is so handsome! His eyes are watery, big and round..."
"Yeah, he has very fair skin and looks like the popular actress Xiao Zhan..."
What does it mean to have big and round eyes? When Xie Liang heard this, he immediately thought of fish eyes.
After taking the invoice from the waiter, he turned and walked towards the door.
As Lu Bubu and Xie Liang walked towards the door together, he joked, "Brother, those two women just praised your handsomeness, saying your eyes are big, round, and watery. Did you hear that?"
"I heard it." Xie Liang said.
Lu Bubu started muttering to himself again, saying that if Xie Liang were a woman, she would instantly kill all the popular actresses and make all the women jealous... and so on.
Shi Xiaoyin slapped him on the head: "Shut up! I'm so annoyed by you!"
While the two female customers were still paying their bills and coming out, they walked over to the man lying on the ground and squatted down.
The man was lying on the ground motionless, with a large pool of blood on the ground below his stomach.
Xie Liang stretched out his finger to feel his breath and found that he was dead.
As he stood up, Lu Bubu squatted down, reached out and grabbed one of the man's arms, turning him over.
Something had corroded the man's stomach, leaving a large hole! When Lu Bubu flipped him over, all the man's internal organs fell out!
Lu Bubu jumped away in fright: "Damn! What's going on!"
Shi Xiaoyin pointed at a yellow-red paste on the ground with bloody foam and said, "Look!"
"What is that?" Xie Liang said as he squatted down and observed it carefully, "It looks like undigested spaghetti." As he said that, he picked up a stone beside him and dug it twice.
Before he had scraped a few times, the end of the stone that touched the pasta paste was corroded and white dense foam emerged, as if Xie Liang was scraping something highly corrosive.
When Lu Bubu saw this, he yelled, "Damn! This must be sulfuric acid! This man must have died from the spaghetti in his stomach!"
"One of the Adventers who paid the bill earlier also ate pasta. How come he was okay?" Shi Xiaoyin asked.
"Hey, big sister! You said you'd pay! Did you see this guy pay?"
Xu He squatted down and held Xie Liang's wrist: "Throw it away."
After Xie Liang reacted, he quickly threw the stone in his hand away.
At this time, the two female customers walked out of the restaurant door and walked along the road at the door towards the intersection ahead.
"Don't worry about him for now. The two women who praised you are coming out. Let's follow them quickly." Lu Bubu said.
"Wait, I have to go back and tell the people in the restaurant about this!" said Xie Liang.
"You guys just follow along first, we'll take care of this, don't worry!"
"Don't go in, just shout at the door."
"Don't worry! We understand." After saying that, Lu Bubu ran towards the restaurant door.
The two female customers didn't walk very fast, and Xie Liang and the others followed them as if they were taking a walk.
Just as they were about to reach the intersection, Lu Bubu finally caught up with them.
The two women crossed the intersection and walked towards the residential building in the fog.
"Does this count as sending them home? It looks like we are following them," said Shi Xiaoyin.
Lu Bubu said carelessly, "This is called escorting, understand? What do you mean by 'tailgating'? It makes us look like hooligans."
Shi Xiaoyin glanced at him and said, "I think you look like a gangster!"
"Big sister, have you been on fire lately? And the kind that only ignites when it's directed at me."
"Who's got the nerve to say that? I'll beat you up!"
While the two were talking, the two female customers in front had already turned into an alley.
Xie Liang and his friends followed closely behind them. Soon, the two female customers discovered that they were following them. They seemed to think they were perverts and ran forward quickly.
As Lu Bubu chased him, he said, "Damn! I'm really being treated like a gangster!"
Just as the two female customers in front ran out of the alley and onto a road, a large truck drove straight towards them.
With a loud "bang", the bodies of the two female customers flew into the air and then fell heavily to the edge of the road.
The truck did not stop, but drove away at the same speed.
Xie Liang quickly ran towards one of the female customers.
The woman stared at Xie Liang in a daze. Her limbs had been smashed by the front of the truck, and blood was gushing out of her mouth. Her eyes were full of confusion, as if she wanted to ask Xie Liang why he was chasing them.
After a while, the woman twitched twice and died.
"The other woman is also dead, what should we do?" Shi Xiaoyin asked.
"We killed them." Xie Liang said.
Hearing this, Lu Bubu put his arm around Xie Liang's shoulders and said, "They are just the setting of this world, not real humans."
Hearing Lu Bubu say this, Xie Liang was a little dazed. After staying in this kind of world for a long time, he became more and more indifferent to human life.
"Let's go back," Xie Liang said, "and see if there are any other customers dining in the restaurant, and then look for Mr. Liu."
"What if they are Mr. Liu?" Shi Xiaoyin asked.
Xie Liang was stunned by her question. After a while, he squatted down and searched the woman's bag and pockets.
Lu Bubu asked doubtfully, "Brother, what are you looking for?"
"Check if there's any residential address on their belongings," Xie Liang said.
After hearing this, Shi Xiaoyin ran to another female customer who was lying not far away and started searching.
Xie Liang took out a key from the female customer's bag. The small card hanging on the keychain read: Room 101, Building 04, Xiaoniao Apartment, Senmu Street.
"Her address is on it. Let's send her body back." Xie Liang said.
Lu Bubu scratched his head and asked, "Ah? Brother! Will this work?"
"I don't know, but I have to give it a try."
"I found it too!" Shi Xiaoyin came back jogging, holding the same keychain.
The small cards hanging on the two keychains are both pink, and the address on them is also Building 04 of Bird Apartment, but one is No. 101 and the other is No. 04.
