Chapter 85 The copy has been reset
When Xie Liang opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside, and it was daytime.
The time suddenly jumped to ten o'clock in the morning. Everyone was standing in an open space beside the road, opposite the western restaurant.
The crowd was talking:
"What's going on? It's daytime already?"
"Yeah! What's going on? We weren't standing here before."
"Isn't this where we stood when we first arrived in this dungeon?"
Everyone looked at each other, completely unaware of what was going on.
After an unknown amount of time, a man from the other side of the street ran towards them, waving his hands and saying, "Why are you here so late..."
The man was wearing a black suit and his leather shoes were polished to a shine. Xie Liang recognized him at a glance. It was the NPC who had asked them to find Mr. Liu before!
The copy was reset?
If that's the case, then it's much easier. Mr. Liu is among those customers, and they had already eliminated some of them yesterday.
Lu Bubu looked at the man in shock and shouted, "Holy shit! Are we doing this again?"
Sure enough, after the man ran in front of them, he started saying the same words as before:
"Mr. Liu is waiting for you inside. After you have dinner with him, remember to send him back. He's like that. He always can't find his home after dinner. Send him back and you can leave."
He was about to leave when Lu Bubu grabbed him by the collar, furious. "God damn it! Tell us clearly who Mr. Liu is!"
The man's expression changed again as before: "How should I know! Go find it yourself!" After saying that, he forcefully pried Lu Bubu's hand apart and walked towards the intersection.
He walked very fast and soon he was far away.
Shi Xiaoyin seemed to have figured something out and said excitedly, "The time has been reset! This makes things much easier!"
"Sister, what do you mean?" Lu Bu said.
Shi Xiaoyin gave Lu Bubu a fake smile and waved to call everyone together: "Everyone come here quickly and listen to me..."
When everyone heard her cry, they all came towards her.
"Everyone, do you remember which customer you had dinner with and which customer you sent home yesterday?"
Everyone nodded in unison: "Remember."
Shi Xiaoyin said, "That's right. From now on, we just need to eat with the customers who haven't eaten yet and send them home!"
At this time, everyone started discussing again:
"But eating costs money! I have no money in my pocket!"
"yes!"
"Why don't you just not pay for it?"
"Have you lost your memory? Have you forgotten how the guy who didn't pay the bill died yesterday?"
The man who said, "It's okay if you don't pay," was the first one to pay the bill and send the customer home. He didn't know what happened after he left.
After hearing everyone's explanation, his face turned pale.
A man named Li Dongsheng, wearing a navy blue turtleneck sweater, asked, "Your name is Shi Xiaoyin, right? Then tell us, what should we do if we don't have money to pay the bill?"
"I...I..." Shi Xiaoyin said several "I"s in a row but couldn't answer any question.
Those people murmured and began to disperse:
"Who wouldn't say it?"
"That's right, I thought she would give out money."
"She's right! At least it saves us from having to eat with repeat customers..."
Shi Xiaoyin sighed: "Not having money to eat is a problem..."
Lu Bubu also sighed with her: "I knew this wouldn't be that simple! Damn it! I'm hungry..."
Before entering the restaurant, Xie Liang took out a pen and paper from his bag and asked everyone one by one about the characteristics of the customers who had dined with them yesterday, so as to avoid repeated checks.
After finishing the statistics, he made a few copies and distributed them to everyone.
Only half of the customers have not been checked, and Mr. Liu is among those customers. As long as no one is missed, the task of this copy can be completed quickly.
"There are only ten of us now, and there are fourteen customers who need to be checked. Does anyone among you have enough money to pay the bill?" Xie Liang asked.
Four people responded. Xie Liang thought for a moment and said to those who had no money to pay, "The rest of you can follow those customers who haven't been screened home and try to find out if they are Mr. Liu."
"So what if it is? Even if we didn't have dinner with him, the door wouldn't open anyway!" asked the yellow-haired man.
"It's better to know than not to know. Once we know, we can think of other ways, such as making up for the missed meals." Xie Liang said patiently.
"But there are still five customers left and no one is following them!" said Wu Tingting.
"I don't think we will be so unlucky. Anyway, as long as we can find out who Mr. Liu is, things will be easy." Xie Liang said.
Lu Bubu excitedly patted Xie Liang's shoulder and said to everyone, "We think it's great! We definitely won't be that unlucky!"
After listening to this, everyone felt much more relaxed and their frowns began to smooth out.
Those who had money to order began to walk towards the restaurant door one after another, while those who did not have money to order waited outside the restaurant.
Xie Liang and the others also hurried and walked towards the restaurant entrance.
Today's menu display has changed its signature dishes. The chef's recommendation line has become sour short ribs, pan-fried pork belly, and pan-fried palm palms...
Shi Xiaoyin glanced at the display board and said, "What paw? Is there even bear paw in this shabby restaurant?"
"Who cares what kind of palm it is? We don't have money to eat anyway!" Lu Bubu said carelessly.
As Xie Liang stepped into the restaurant, the female receptionist's mechanical voice rang out: "Hello, welcome!"
After the reset, the female receptionist looked exactly the same as when they first came in yesterday. There was no trace of her scary and weird look from last night. She was bending down waiting for Xie Liang and the others to pass by.
The appearance, number and seating positions of the customers in the restaurant were exactly the same as when they first came in yesterday. Even the two female customers who had been hit by a car were alive and sitting at the dining table safely.
It seems that except that the dead Adventers cannot be resurrected, everything is the same as yesterday. Even the two waitresses who were supposed to be dead are alive. They are holding menus and arranging seats for the people who just came in.
Xie Liang and the others sat down at a dining table where two men were sitting, ready to check whether they were Mr. Liu.
The two men, one fat and one thin, ignored Xie Liang and the others as they sat down. They sat there with a blank expression, as if waiting for the waiter to serve the food.
After the people who came in sat down, the two waiters began to take menus and asked the people who had just sat down at the table to order.
Seeing that one of the waiters was about to come to their table, Xie Liang quickly said, "We have to split up now. Everyone be careful."
"Young man! You should worry about yourself. Brother He has been looking at you for a long time." Lu Bubu said.
As soon as Xie Liang turned his head, he met Xu He's worried eyes: "Don't worry, I'm just following the customer. I picked a woman who looks weaker." Xie Liang said, pointing his finger at the thin woman.
She was a woman in a white dress, very thin and looked frail.
"Well, this woman looks quite weak, you should be able to beat her." Shi Xiaoyin said.
Xie Liang hurriedly took out the remaining money, divided it into four equal parts, and handed one to Lu Bubu and Shi Xiaoyin respectively: "Remember to order some pasta later. The sour water cost as much as the pasta."
Lu Bubu and Shi Xiaoyin nodded and took it.
"We still know how to do the math. That damn lemonade isn't even as sweet as the water from the tap. It's such a rip-off!" Lu Bubu complained.
"Who should follow the two customers at this table?" Shi Xiaoyin asked.
"I don't know if they live together. I'm fine here by myself. You guys should go to other tables and prepare your orders."
Xie Liang stuffed some money into Xu He's hand and said, "Brother He, I'll go first." As he said that, he walked towards the table where the female customer in a white dress was sitting.
Shortly after Xie Liang sat down, Xu He chose a table next to his and sat down. It was a table where two men were sitting.
About half an hour after we ordered, two waitresses came out of the kitchen pushing a food cart and began serving food to the customers at the tables one by one.
When it was Xie Liang's table's turn, the waiter first served the thin woman two plates of dishes covered with vegetable lids, and then brought the pasta that Xie Liang ordered.
Just like the two women yesterday, the frail woman in front of him also looked intoxicated as she sniffed the two dishes.
Xie Liang knew that she would continue to smell it for a long time, so he slowly ate the pasta he ordered.
The pasta didn’t taste very good, but it wasn’t bad either. It had a tomato flavor and was slightly sour.
After Xie Liang finished the plate of pasta, the woman finally reached out and prepared to open the lids of the two dishes.
The dish dotted with dark green rosin was actually a human palm! The palm had been fried to a golden brown, drizzled with a dark brown sauce. This was clearly the signature dish—pan-fried rosin palm.
The remaining dish should be the main course - mashed potatoes topped with dark red thick minced meat.
An hour or two later, the customers at the table paid their bills and left, and the corresponding Adventists followed suit. Some customers who hadn't been checked and had no one to follow them followed the Adventists waiting outside the restaurant.
Xie Liang saw that the two male customers at Xu He's table had already gone to pay the bill, but Xu He was still sitting in his seat, looking at him motionlessly.
Xie Liang hurriedly ran to Xu He while the woman was still licking the plate.
"Brother He, hurry up and follow me. I promise I can handle her. I want to go out early to eat the food you cook. The food here is so disgusting..." Xie Liang said coquettishly while shaking Xu He's arm.
Xu He was finally persuaded by his words. She hugged him and whispered "Be careful", then stood up and walked towards the cashier.
After watching Xu He walk away, Xie Liang hurried back to his seat.
This woman took a really long time to eat. Lu Bubu and Shi Xiaoyin had already left with other customers, but she was still licking the plate endlessly.
Xie Liang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Not until most people had left the restaurant did the woman finally put down the plate she had licked until it was shiny, stood up tremblingly and walked towards the cashier. Seeing this, Xie Liang hurriedly followed her.
After the thin woman left the restaurant, she walked towards the intersection. Xie Liang followed her all the way to the Little Bird Apartment where she had been yesterday.
While taking the elevator, the woman turned her head and stared at Xie Liang for a long time.
"Handsome boy, do you live on the 6th floor too?" the woman asked.
"Yeah." Xie Liang said vaguely.
After following the woman all the way to room 606 where she lived, Xie Liang pretended to look for the key in front of room 607.
The woman opened the door and went in. The bell did not ring.
Xie Liang sighed in disappointment. By this time, the other arrivals had probably already sent other customers home, and the bell still didn't ring. It seemed that Mr. Liu was among the remaining five customers.
It's really bad luck. I screened so many customers, but not one of them was Mr. Liu. I actually ran into him with such a low probability.
