Chapter 195 Ferryman's Dungeon (XVIII)
[Sizzle…]
[Sizzle…]
【warn! 】
[Players enter a special sizzling...]
Even an ant bite would be very painful, not to mention there was a fragile human being next to her, so she dared not be careless.
The restaurant opened a buffet again for dinner. This time, there was a small problem with the menu, so the team leader complained to the hotel management. As expected, the catering manager scolded the supervisor during the meeting and deducted a large sum of money from him.
When the supervisor came back, his face looked extremely grim. Although he didn't say anything, it was disturbing to see him suddenly become quiet, as he usually was noisy. If he had come back and started jumping around and cursing, it wouldn't have made the other employees so nervous.
Sure enough, when the supervisor was supposed to get off work, it did not leave, but stared at the employees who were working. Xia Yingnuan knew from its expression that it was definitely going to cause trouble, so after dinner, she did not dare to leave Ning Hanqi.
"Xiao Ning! Come here." When Ning Hanqi was changing the water for the green plants in the restaurant, an NPC employee suddenly called her.
That is an employee who usually flatters the foreman better than Sister Yang. At the same time, it has more seniority in this restaurant. Ning Hanqi had heard Sister Yang mention before that if the foreman was promoted, it might become the next foreman.
Ning Hanqi put down the small vase in her hand and walked over. When she got closer, she noticed that there was some oil on the other person's lips.
The supervisor's office is upstairs and the kitchen is downstairs. The leftover meat in the kitchen smells so good, and the ghosts have almost no resistance to human flesh. After the NPCs confirmed that the supervisor was upstairs, they started to eat secretly in the kitchen.
"Would you like some?" It pointed to the pot of meat in the kitchen.
Ning Hanqi shook his head and refused decisively.
The NPC didn't want to share with her at first. After all, there were more people than meat. If he gave her some, he would have to eat less.
"Then take these basins of washed cups out and clean them." The NPC pointed at the large basins of cups on the ground and said bluntly.
Human players belong to the bottom of the food chain here. The most ordinary NPCs in the hotel only regard them as free labor and food. If they have the opportunity to use them, the NPCs will naturally not be polite.
After throwing the work to Ning Hanqi, it went back into the kitchen.
There are several exits in the kitchen. Ning Hanqi noticed that someone was standing guard outside, probably helping to keep an eye on the supervisor.
But if the supervisor really wants to catch someone, it will be useless even if there is a row of sentries standing outside.
Ning Hanqi walked out "holding" the basins that looked very heavy. In fact, these basins were floating in the air, so she didn't need to use any strength at all. As for wiping the washed cups dry, she didn't need to do it herself. As long as Xia Yingnuan drained all the water inside, Ning Hanqi only needed to pretend to put the cups in order.
"Woo..."
Ning Hanqi had just put half of the cups in when suddenly a strange wind blew in from the window, and the cups she had placed on the countertop fell to the ground with a crackling sound. Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang". No, to be precise, it was several loud bangs overlapping at the same time, and all the doors on the kitchen side were slammed shut!
The entire floor of the restaurant was shaking slightly, and the sound was no less than thunder exploding next to the ears.
"Are you not scared?" Xia Yingnuan gently stroked Ning Hanqi's back.
Ning Hanqi shook her head. All the lights above her head flickered, and the temperature around her dropped sharply, at least to below zero. Her coat could not keep out the cold.
"I'm fine, but over in the kitchen..." Before Ning Hanqi finished his words, a short scream came from the kitchen. The scream stopped very abruptly, just like the throats of chickens and ducks in the vegetable market were cut.
"Gurgle gurgle..." A strange sound was faintly heard from the kitchen again.
The abnormality outside came and went quickly. After a while, the lights returned to normal and the temperature gradually rose. However, a long time passed and the kitchen door was never opened.
More than an hour later, the foreman who went to the warehouse to inventory things came back, and the kitchen door finally opened slowly.
A scent of meat wafted out and filled the entire restaurant.
The supervisor treated the entire restaurant staff to a midnight snack. Jiang Man took a look at the contents of the pot. It was a pot of braised meat. Without the coloring of soy sauce, the contents were more clearly visible, such as eyeballs, knuckles, and teeth...
"Ugh!" Jiang Man covered her mouth tightly. She didn't want to look at the pot, and tried her best to suppress herself from making any sound.
"Don't tell me I treat you badly. Come on, I made you a special midnight snack. Try it?" It stuffed a piece of meat into its mouth. "It's okay, not too salty or bland."
"Hurry up and eat! You guys won't have to sneak in and eat like starving ghosts!" The supervisor's stern eyes swept over everyone, then suddenly changed into a smile. He filled a plate with meat and handed it to the foreman, saying, "It's been busy these past few days. Thank you for your hard work."
The foreman looked at the dish of meat, perhaps laughing out of anger, or perhaps mocking the supervisor's stupidity. He took the dish and chopsticks with a smile, tasted it without hesitation, and then gave a positive evaluation: "Not bad, your cooking skills are the same as before, there is no decline, everyone should try it."
When the foreman mentioned "the past", the supervisor's eyes twitched slightly.
She didn't expect that rumors would be spread even after her death. Xia Yingnuan was stunned and let Guo Yuzhen, who left her sincere blessings, jump away. She didn't have time to correct the girl's wrong idea.
When she saw the girl disappear at the end of the cycle of reincarnation, she turned around, waved to her, and shouted, "If you have wedding candy, remember to burn some for me! I want to get some of the happiness in my next life!"
"That's a rumor! A rumor!" Don't think about it in your next life!
The girl obviously didn't have as good hearing and vision as Xia Yingnuan. She just thought Xia Yingnuan agreed, and she said thank you with great joy, then disappeared at the end of the reincarnation.
Xia Yingnuan opened her eyes, her face was blue, black and white, it was really amazing.
The little system that realizes that it has done something wrong reduces its own presence to the lowest level, for fear of offending someone.
"system!"
【exist! 】
"You..." Xia Yingnuan thought for a moment and decided to give up on asking the system to help her investigate the matter. She was afraid that the system would only make things worse. "Forget it, just help me pack my things."
[Okay! ]
The original owner didn't have many things. After packing up clothes and other things, it only filled up one suitcase. Xia Yingnuan pulled the suitcase and left the campus, attracting a lot of attention on the way.
Obviously, what happened yesterday has made her famous, but now compared to the discussions among people in the school, she feels that the rumor that has been circulating since when is more terrifying!
She didn't even let go of the person who had died ten summers ago, and she wasn't afraid that she would turn into a ghost and come looking for them in the middle of the night!
Ning Hanqi's personal driver was already waiting. When he saw Xia Yingnuan, he looked a little strange, which reminded Xia Yingnuan of the girl's blessing of "Bai Xia Hao He" and she suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
Did the driver hear something weird?
When they returned to Ning Hanqi's apartment building, the driver enthusiastically asked if she needed help carrying her up, but Xia Yingnuan, feeling uneasy, politely declined.
She got out of the car and took the luggage out of the trunk. Although there weren't many things in it, they were a bit heavy. However, Xia Yingnuan lifted them up with one hand as easily as if they were chicks. The driver finally drove away after he was sure that she didn't need his help.
"Bang!" A suspicious man wrapped in black clothes, who didn't know where he came from, walked forward in a hurry. He didn't know whether he was preoccupied or didn't look at the road, and suddenly bumped into Xia Yingnuan.
Xia Yingnuan didn't move at all, but the suspicious man opposite her, who was more than a head taller than her, fell head over heels.
Xia Yingnuan immediately reached out to help the man up, but the man clearly didn't appreciate it and cursed, "What's wrong with you? You're standing in the middle of the road like a dead person! You didn't even move aside when you saw someone coming!"
Xia Yingnuan, who was originally holding the other person's hand to pull him up, let go directly, and the man fell on his butt again.
At this moment the hat and wig fell off the man's head, and the warm wind blew on his bald head.
Xia Yingnuan narrowed her eyes slightly; this person seemed familiar.
"Fuck!" the man cursed. "Do you know who I am? How dare a lowly person in cheap clothes mess with me?"
oh!
This tastes right.
Who else can say such words except the male protagonist who single-handedly challenges half a book of criminal law!
[Host! Calm down, host! The hero can't die. If he dies, the world will be over!]
If the male protagonist is killed now, the world will be destroyed and Xia Yingnuan's goal will be achieved. How could she not be tempted by such a good opportunity?
The system looked at Xia Yingnuan in horror. Although it had mechanisms to forcibly control the host, those things were nothing to an experienced and rebellious executor like Xia Yingnuan. As long as she wanted, this small system that had just been released and hadn't even finished its classes could not stop her at all.
Can Xia Yingnuan suppress her desire to take revenge on the main system?
The small system took a look at its own backend program that monitored the host's emotions, and the big red exclamation mark on it was particularly eye-catching.
[This world is ruined, and the villains will die too!] The little system clung to Xia Yingnuan's calf and said whatever came to mind.
Three seconds later, the alarm was lifted.
【well? 】
"Mr. Long..." Xia Yingnuan said, as if she had suddenly realized something. "As the former president of the Long Group, you can't...do anything sneaky after spending several summers in prison. Otherwise, you'll end up in jail again."
"Who the hell is doing such a sneaky thing! Who are you to dare say that to me?" Seeing that he had been recognized by the other party, the male protagonist Long Chendong pulled off his sunglasses and wanted to take a closer look at who was provoking him.
"Oh, I understand. Mr. Long has no money after he gets out, right? At least there are three free meals in prison. After he gets out, he has no food to eat and no place to sleep. He's so pitiful. No wonder..." Xia Yingnuan pretended to wipe away her non-existent tears with her sleeve.
Long Chendong was so angry that he wanted to attack, but Xia Yingnuan pressed down his strong arm with just one finger.
Long Chendong struggled for a few times and found that the other party didn't move at all.
Xia Yingnuan pushed lightly. She swore that she didn't use any force at all, but Long Chendong took several steps back as if he was being scammed, and then sat down on the ground.
No way? With this kind of brain, you still want to blackmail her?
Xia Yingnuan is actually quite recognizable when she is in full swing.
"Song, Song, Song Qinuan!" Long Chendong's face instantly lost color, as if he had seen an evil ghost.
No, no, she was already dead. She was pushed down from the 18th floor and fell to her death! He personally confirmed that Song Qinuan's body was no longer in human form. She couldn't possibly be alive!
Long Chendong rubbed his eyes. It wasn't her. Although her expression was very similar, if you looked closely, she didn't look exactly the same. Moreover, she was so calm...
"Mr. Long, you've got the wrong person, right? Song Qinuan...wasn't she pushed from the building to death by you ten summers ago? Who are you calling?" Xia Yingnuan squatted beside Long Chendong, adding fuel to the fire, making Long Chendong's heart, which had not yet been able to let go, rise to his throat again.
This is the secret that Long Chendong has kept hidden until now, and he has not told anyone about it, not even his wife.
He stared at Xia Yingnuan with his eyes wide open, and a "ho ho" sound like air leaking from his throat.
If that crazy woman Ning Hanqi got wind of this, the consequences would be disastrous. He did it very covertly, how could he be discovered?!
The most important thing is where did this person come from? Why does he look so much like Song Qinuan, and why does he even recall what happened back then?
Long Chendong didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but at this moment he suddenly felt that Song Qinuan had crawled out of hell to seek revenge on him!
"Who are you?" Long Chendong's teeth chattered. "No, that's not right. You're a substitute trained by those people from the Song family, right? Ha, those guys wanted to use you to get benefits from Ning Hanqi. Their methods are really low-level."
Long Chendong stood up and kept adjusting his clothes to hide his panic. He was good at deceiving himself.
"Your tricks may fool Ning Hanqi but not me. If you know what's good for you... just get away." Long Chendong put on his wig and hat again, but he didn't say the word "get away" with enough confidence, looking strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Xia Yingnuan looked at Long Chendong, who was pretending to be calm and wrapping himself up tightly again, and gave him a "friendly" warning when he passed by her.
"Watch the road carefully."
There was a slope not far from them. Long Chendong left in a hurry, but he walked on flat ground with his left foot halfway up and his right foot halfway down, and he rolled down the long slope directly.
"Puchi!" Xia Yingnuan couldn't help laughing.
The system breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the small world was saved!
[The protagonist of this world is really weird. Their luck...or rather, their aura is extremely weak. It's nothing like what's in the books.] The system and Xia Yingnuan complained as they walked.
"Oh?" Xia Yingnuan glanced at the system. "Are you sure?"
[Of course, I can't be wrong about this. Wait, host, why are you laughing so scary?!]
"Nothing." Xia Yingnuan's smile was brighter than the sun in the sky, "I just suddenly thought you were a little cute."
This is the second time the host has praised himself today, and the system inexplicably feels a chill and coldness.
Xia Yingnuan's mood seemed to have indeed improved. She walked into the apartment humming a song and dragging her suitcase.
And in a corner outside the upstairs window, there was a red light that was always on.
She temporarily lived in Ning Hanqi's house, and someone delivered three meals a day on time. However, Xia Yingnuan did not see the owner of this house come back until the evening, and when she woke up the next morning, the other party had already left.
Xia Yingnuan glanced at the note left on the table. Ning Hanqi wrote on it that there was breakfast in the refrigerator and she should remember to eat it. He would bring his little niece over at noon.
Xia Yingnuan quickly ate breakfast and then searched Baidu for lesson preparation content to cram for the exam.
At around 10 o'clock, Xia Yingnuan suddenly heard the shrill screams of a child downstairs. The child was crying and making a fuss, which was extremely harmful to the eardrum.
The source of this sound couldn't be...
New toys...ahem, for kids!
The child's scream died away for a moment, then grew louder again and finally stopped at the door.
Xia Yingnuan opened the door and stood at the door with a smile on her face. When the child saw her, his voice rose another degree.
Ning Hanqi and her sister look very similar. This child looks like her mother, so it would not feel out of place to take her out and say that she and Ning Hanqi are mother and daughter.
Ning Hanqi had just put the child down when the bear cub slipped out like a loach and ran towards the elevator without stopping.
But unfortunately, Ning Hanqi was faster than her and this time he took her home directly.
"Mr. Ning, this is little Ning Tiantian, right? So cute." Xia Yingnuan lied with her eyes open.
"I don't want a teacher! I don't want to stay here, I want to go home!" The child kicked and bit in Ning Hanqi's arms, like a little bully.
After all, the child was in elementary school and had some strength in his struggle. Seeing that Ning Hanqi was about to lose her hold, Xia Yingnuan immediately stepped forward and took the child from her arms.
Ning Tiantian still wanted to struggle, but she found that only her neck could move freely, and the rest of her body was tightly bound!
"System, help me isolate some of the sound."
【no problem. 】
In this way, the child's vocal attack was useless, and when she got tired of shouting on her own, she stopped.
Ning Hanqi's expression was a bit tired. Who wouldn't be troubled by a child like this? However, Xia Yingnuan's unwavering attitude made her think highly of her.
"I'll leave this child to you, Tiantian, call the teacher."
"No! What stinky woman wants me to call her teacher?" The child was quite rebellious.
Ning Hanqi's expression darkened and he looked like he was about to get angry.
"If you don't want to shout, then don't shout. It's okay. Mr. Ning, please don't be angry with the child. It will cause you a headache." Xia Yingnuan seemed like a gentle, generous and easy-to-bully teacher Xia Qing. The child's eyes were almost rolled to the sky. She thought to herself that she must get this teacher out within three days.
"Don't spoil her. If you are not strict with her, she will never listen." Ning Hanqi rubbed his temples. There seemed to be some signs of a migraine coming on.
"It's okay, she's just a child." Xia Yingnuan said happily, but what she was thinking in her heart was: The child is still young, of course I can't let her go!
She will let this little kid know how she got the nickname "Children's Sorrow"!
