Chapter 84 Looking for Someone
It was already past five in the evening when they found the Xiaoniao Apartment. Xie Liang and Shi Xiaoyin walked in front, while Lu Bubu and Xu He followed behind them, carrying the two dead female customers respectively.
As they walked along, there was no one in the entire residential building or apartment building. It seemed as if they were the only people in the town.
Xie Liang opened the door of Room 04 with the key.
This was a single room with a bed at the entrance. Xu He put the female customer staying in this room on the bed.
"Let's look for the identity information of this female customer to see if she is Ms. Liu." Xie Liang said as he and Shi Xiaoyin started searching in the narrow room.
After a while, Xie Liang found an ID card in the drawer of the dressing table. The photo on the ID card was the same as that of the dead female customer, named Chen Hongmei.
"She is not Ms. Liu." Xie Liang said, handing his ID card to Shi Xiaoyin and others.
After leaving the room, they took the elevator to the 10th floor.
As soon as Xie Liang opened the door, a Tibetan mastiff pounced at him, barking and biting his calf without letting go.
"Damn! There's a dog!" Lu Bubu hurriedly kicked the dog and kicked it away.
"Woof woof woof!" The dog ran to the balcony and curled up after being hurt.
Xie Liang rolled up his trouser legs and took a look. The bite wound was not large, but the holes bitten by the dog's two canine teeth were deep and were still bleeding.
Lu Bubu looked at the wound on Xie Liang's leg and asked, "Brother, do you want to get a rabies vaccine when you go back? You won't get rabies, will you?"
"Probably not." Xie Liang said.
"Not necessarily. Let Brother He take you to get a rabies vaccine when you get back." Shi Xiaoyin said.
Xie Liang nodded after listening.
This is a one-bedroom apartment. There is a strong smell of dog as soon as you enter the door. There are only women's clothes hanging on the balcony. It seems that she lives alone.
Lu Bubu carried the woman to the bedroom and said, "Let's put this woman on the bed first."
Xu He was bandaging the wound on Xie Liang's leg, his face looked gloomy and a little scary.
Xie Liang comforted him: "Brother He, I'm fine and it doesn't hurt."
After Xu He bandaged the dog, he walked straight to the balcony, grabbed the dog's neck with his bare hands, and lifted it out of the balcony. The dog struggled in fear.
The dog was suffocating and the struggle of its limbs gradually slowed down.
Xie Liang hurried over: "Brother He, forget it, it's just a dog, it will naturally pounce on strangers when it sees them."
Xu He looked at the dog expressionlessly, as if he had already sentenced it to death.
While the other two were still searching for their ID cards in the bedroom, Xie Liang hugged Xu He's waist and said coquettishly, "Well... forget it, let it go."
Feeling Xie Liang's body temperature on his waist, Xu He softened and threw the dog on the balcony.
"Woof woof woof!" The dog barked wildly after landing and ran towards the gate.
Xu He turned around and hugged Xie Liang tightly. He rested his chin on Xie Liang's shoulder and kissed Xie Liang's earlobe.
Xie Liang felt numb and tingling from Xu He's kiss, his face flushed, and he quickly pushed him away.
"Xiaoliang, you're blushing." Xu He's voice was low and hoarse.
Xie Liang felt like he said it on purpose, and his face heated up again: "I'll go in and help find the identity information of that female customer."
After searching through all the boxes and drawers for a long time, Shi Xiaoyin finally found the woman's ID card in her suitcase.
The female customer's name is Wang Lili, not Liu, so she can't be Mr. Liu.
Lu Bubu took the ID card and looked at it again and again: "Does Mr. Liu have to have the last name Liu?"
"Idiot, if Mr. Liu's surname is not Liu, why is he called Mr. Liu?" Shi Xiaoyin said.
Neither of the two female customers was Mr. Liu, so they could only go back to the restaurant to look for more clues.
At around seven o'clock, they returned to the entrance of the western restaurant. The man's body was gone, and only a dark red bloodstain remained on the ground.
They stood at the restaurant door for a while, and other visitors came back one after another.
Everyone gathered in the open space in front of the restaurant, introduced themselves briefly, chatted casually, and waited for the rest of the people to come back.
I don’t know how long it took, but it started to get dark. It was already past seven in the evening, and warm lights came on in the restaurant.
The only lights on in the entire street were in the restaurant; all other buildings were shrouded in darkness.
There are still three people missing. We have been waiting for so long, but they haven't come back and the bell hasn't rung. It seems something has happened.
The man in the green plaid shirt was named Zhang Guo. He looked at everyone with a panicked look on his face, "They won't be coming back. What should we do next?"
"Damn it! Who is Mr. Liu? I sent that guy home safely, but you didn't open the door!" the man named Li Huangmao yelled.
"Huangmao, do you have any money on you?" asked Wu Tingting, who was wearing a yellow sweatshirt.
"Yes, but not much. Why?"
"Should we go back into the restaurant and take a look?"
Xie Liang interrupted them: "If you don't order anything, you don't have to pay."
"Then let's go in and take a look. Maybe Mr. Liu is still in there." Wu Tingting said.
As the girl spoke, she pulled the man named Huangmao towards the restaurant.
Xie Liang and others followed the two of them to the restaurant.
The receptionist standing at the door nodded and bowed mechanically: "Hello! Welcome!"
The tables in the entire restaurant were empty. It was obvious that there was no customer here at the moment, let alone Mr. Liu.
Two waitresses came over to greet them with menus in their arms.
"Welcome, please take a seat and order your food." A mechanical female voice sounded.
"What should we do? Do we have to sit down and order again? There is no customer here, let alone Mr. Liu!" Shi Xiaoyin said.
Lu Bubu said in frustration, "Damn! What a shitty restaurant! This boss is fucking crazy!"
Xie Liang suddenly had an idea: "Boss? Could it be that the owner of this restaurant is the one we are looking for?"
"Are you saying that Mr. Liu is the owner of this restaurant?" Shi Xiaoyin asked.
Lu Bubu scratched his short, buzzed hair. "Even if Mr. Liu is the owner of this restaurant, where can we find him?"
Xie Liang pointed to the cashier: "Take a look at the information about this restaurant."
"Hey little bro, you and my brother go look for it at the cashier, and I'll go hold those two waiters back with my sister!"
They acted immediately. While Lu Bubu and the others were walking towards the two waitresses, Xie Liang and Xu He immediately slipped to the cashier counter. Xu He drew out his black sword and slashed at the locked cash register.
Just as Xu He's black sword struck the cash register, an alarm suddenly sounded throughout the restaurant, and the two waiters instantly turned around and rushed towards them!
"Run!" Shi Xiaoyin shouted.
The two waitresses seemed to have their Ren and Du meridians opened up, their strength increased tremendously, their expressions completely changed, and they picked up the heavy dining chairs and smashed them at Xie Liang.
Xie Liang quickly squatted down and dodged.
While Xu He was fighting with the two waitresses, Xie Liang found a business card on the cash register and quickly put it in his trouser pocket.
At this time, several burly chefs rushed out from the kitchen, holding shovels in their hands and rushed towards everyone in the restaurant.
"Let's go!" Shi Xiaoyin shouted, and everyone rushed towards the restaurant entrance after hearing it.
At this moment, the receptionist guarding the restaurant entrance suddenly blocked the door.
She actually grew two new arms and two legs. The four arms and four legs began to grow longer and longer, standing at the door like a spider, blocking their way out!
"Fuck! What the hell is this! Ahhhh!" said the yellow-haired man as he took out an axe from his backpack and chopped at the receptionist blocking the door.
The scene was in chaos. Several burly chefs had already injured several descenders. After stabbing to death the two waiters who were pestering him, Xu He pulled Xie Liang towards the door.
Shi Xiaoyin and Lu Bubu were chopping at the female receptionist at the restaurant entrance, but the woman seemed to have infinite growth power. As soon as one arm was cut off, another one grew out.
Shi Xiaoyin wrapped a long whip around the woman's head, but she was not strong enough to pull the female receptionist free.
After Xu He came over, he grabbed her long whip and pulled it, and the female receptionist's head was stretched dozens of centimeters!
"Damn it!" Lu Bubu's angry roar sounded behind them.
Xie Liang turned his head and saw more and more people crowding towards the restaurant entrance.
At this moment, Xu He drew out the black sword, and together with the yellow-haired man, they each chopped down the arms and thighs of the female receptionist.
Xu He's sword cut through iron like mud. The female receptionist's hands and feet that were blocking the door were all chopped off. She fell to the ground unsteadily. Xu He pulled Xie Liang and stepped on her body as they walked out.
Several people also took the opportunity to squeeze out, all of them with injuries of varying degrees.
The NPCs in the restaurant did not chase out. It seemed that they could not leave the restaurant. After glaring fiercely at those who ran out, they turned around and tried to catch those who were still in the restaurant.
After a while, the receptionist got up from the ground again, her arms and legs grew back and blocked the door.
Shi Xiaoyin and Lu Bubu had not come out yet. When Xie Liang wanted to go back to help, Xu He walked back with the black sword.
The remaining few people ran out with the help of Xu He, but several adventers failed to get out and died in the restaurant.
The chefs in white chef uniforms and spider-like female receptionists were crowded at the restaurant door, glaring at the people standing outside the restaurant with fierce eyes and bared teeth.
They couldn't get out, as if there was an invisible wall blocking them.
Lu Bubu's arm was injured, Shi Xiaoyin was also injured in the abdomen by the shovel, and the others also suffered injuries of varying degrees. They were all bleeding. Xie Liang hurriedly found bandages and distributed them to those who did not bring medical supplies.
Lu Bubu covered his newly bandaged arm and yelled, "Hiss! Damn! These idiot chefs are so strong!"
Seeing that Shi Xiaoyin was injured in the abdomen and was in a lot of trouble, Xie Liang gave her a bandage and asked her to bandage it herself.
Shi Xiaoyin took the bandage and said, "What should we do next? Where can we find Mr. Liu?"
Xie Liang shook his head: "I don't know, but I definitely can't enter that restaurant now."
Shi Xiaoyin looked towards the restaurant's door. The NPCs crowded there were staring at them with eager eyes. "Shouldn't we have touched the cashier? Otherwise, they wouldn't have turned against us."
"It's all done, so stop imagining it. Let's continue looking for that damn Mr. Liu tomorrow." Lu Bubu yelled.
After a tiring day and with nowhere to sleep, everyone had no choice but to sit down in the open space in front of the restaurant.
Xu He sat cross-legged and let Xie Liang rest his head on his legs.
Xu He sat upright with his eyes closed, unlike the others who sat crookedly. The golden light in the restaurant reflected on his face, making his facial features look more three-dimensional.
Looking at Xu He in the halo, Xie Liang suddenly remembered what Su Yubai had said to him before.
If what Su Yubai said was true, why did Xu He act like a normal person? What Su Yubai said must be false.
Thinking of this, Xie Liang clenched Xu He's fingers.
After Xu He sensed his movement, he opened his broad palm and wrapped his hand around it.
After an unknown amount of time, all the lights in the restaurant suddenly went out, and the surroundings fell into pure darkness where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
"Fuck! What's going on?"
"Is it closing time for the restaurant?"
"How come there is no light at all? It's so dark!"
"I can't see anything!"
Everyone started talking in horror.
At this moment, the earth began to shake, and a dizzying feeling came over Xie Liang's head. He subconsciously hugged Xu He beside him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xu He said in a steady voice.
Xie Liang fainted after hearing what Xu He said.
