Chapter 7: Boss

Those disgusting things outside are actually ingredients?

With their ferocious appearance, who is the ingredient of whom?

But what we just encountered was a giant salamander, and there were also rabbits and pangolins. Are they also ingredients?”

If so, doesn’t it mean that Cao Jing’s restaurant is doing illegal business?

No… can’t it be?” Fang Wenrui still couldn’t believe it.

“Why not?” Yin Chi asked: “Are you familiar with him?”

“Not really.” Fang Wenrui said: “He and I are in the same class, just ordinary classmates.”

He usually has someone to pick him up and drop him off after class. Although they are classmates, few of them have talked to each other.

If it weren’t for his brother going abroad and he didn’t want to go back, he might not even be able to answer Cao Jing’s name.

Cao Jing invited him warmly, so he followed him to this restaurant.

Thinking of this, Fang Wenrui looked at Fang Qi again.

He ran away from home just to avoid this person, but now he is forced to follow this person to flee. How did things develop like this? It’s all Cao Jing’s fault!

That’s not right.” Fang Wenrui was complaining in his heart, and suddenly thought of something, and said in confusion: “Even if it’s food, why is that giant salamander chasing me with my face? Did I provoke it?”

Fang Qi asked: “What did you eat upstairs today?”

I ate…” Fang Wenrui recalled along with his words, “I ate dragon liver and phoenix marrow. Cao Jing said it was made of chicken and fish…” He paused.

Fish… It can’t be the fish he thought of?

What about chicken?

No wonder Cao Jing told him with a smug look that he definitely couldn’t taste the taste of chicken and fish, even the species has changed!

When he thought that he actually ate the meat of the giant salamander that was covered in blood and mucus in the thick fog…

Fang Wenrui: “yue!”

Fang Qi: “…”

He stood silently a little further away from this person.

In fact, he didn’t expect that those monsters would be related to the food in the restaurant at first.

The giant salamander was eroded by resentment and mutated. It was no longer the size of an ordinary giant salamander. In addition, he had limited knowledge since childhood, so he didn’t know that the four-legged monster was a giant salamander.

He thought Fang Wenrui had provoked someone, and that the monster was controlled by someone else to find him.

Generally, if you want to control the evil spirit to harm people, the first thing is the aggressiveness. The attack power of the lizard is good.

In addition, it also has four claws and a tail, so he naturally recognized that thing as a lizard.

But Fang Wenrui said that it was a giant salamander, so the possibility of the monster being controlled by someone was very small.

Who has such a strange brain circuit that would control a giant salamander to kill people?

More importantly, Fang Wenrui said that he had never seen that thing.

It’s not that he had never seen it, but what he saw was incomplete.

Since it was not controlled, a giant salamander can only be associated with a limited content.

Until he walked out of the thick fog and saw the woman being chased by the rabbit, Fang Qi further confirmed his guess.

The headless rabbit had a face exactly like that of the woman.

Up to now, almost everyone who ran out of the restaurant can find a face corresponding to themselves in the thick fog outside, and the corresponding monster is the food they ate today-original ecology.

But where did the resentment of the corpse being corroded come from?

Animals have limited intelligence, and they will not easily turn into vengeful spirits even if they are treated inhumanely, let alone such a large-scale mutation.

Outside, a group of animal vengeful spirits with human faces were searching for their targets.

Fang Wenrui looked outside and couldn’t help swallowing his saliva, “What should we do now? Go find Cao Jing?”

“No.” Fang Qi said, “There is a more suitable candidate.”

More suitable candidate? Who?

Fang Qi didn’t say anything, and turned his gaze to the waiter who had come to them to order food before among the group of people who gathered together for warmth.

When the waitress was called out, she was completely confused. She looked at the two people who were surrounded by monsters and were happily communicating… No, three people.

Just before the incident happened, one of them even asked her to order a table of “Manhan Banquet”!

Although I know I look good, it’s not me who is looking for you.” Yin Chi reminded with a smile.

The waitress was startled, and her face suddenly turned red, and she quickly turned her eyes away.

Seeing this, Fang Wenrui came up to Fang Qi and said with emotion: “Wow, you have so many rivals in love.”

Fang Qi: “?”

He doesn’t even have love, so where does the rival come from?

He had used up the nonsense he had said before and threw it out of the window.

Ignoring the words of the two, he asked the waiter directly: “Where is your boss?”

Waiter: “Boss?”

Fang Qi nodded.

The waiter couldn’t help but look at Yin Chi again. Before the incident, she called the boss because of this person’s outrageous request.

The boss said he would handle it himself, but he hasn’t shown up yet.

The boss should…should be on the fourth floor. There are important guests today.”

Fang Qi looked upstairs, looked at the location of the emergency passage, and walked straight over.

Should we go up?” Fang Wenrui asked.

Fang Qi: “You don’t have to go up.”

Outside the lobby, the pangolin that was kicked into the ground by Fang Qi before came out again at some point, with Fang Wenrui’s face on its head, staring at him through the window.

Being stared at by his own face was too scary, Fang Wenrui shuddered violently, “I’ll go up with you.”

The area was out of power, the elevator was out of service, and the two could only go upstairs by stairs.

Yin Chi stood up and followed them slowly.

Fang Qi saw it, but he didn’t ask any more questions.

As soon as the door of the emergency passage was opened, thick white fog poured out instantly.

It was obvious that the range of the barrier only covered the lobby. The situation upstairs was probably the same as outside.

When Fang Wenrui saw the thick fog, he thought of what he saw in the fog before, and couldn’t help but feel a little scared: “Do we really have to go up?”

This time it was Yin Chi who answered him: “You don’t have to go up.”

Fang Wenrui: “…”

Can’t you make a barrier? Why don’t you make a few up there?”

What’s the point of lighting up the hotel lobby?

Yin Chi followed step by step, sighed and said: “I’m not in good health, my energy is limited, and I can’t cover such a large area.”

Limited energy? Then why did you follow up? Aren’t you afraid that monsters will attack you?”

“No.” Yin Chi said: “I haven’t eaten the dishes I ordered yet, so I’m not their target. If they want to attack you, don’t worry, I will definitely not hinder them.”

Fang Wenrui: “…”

He remembered that Fang Qi didn’t order any dishes.

So he was the only target of the three people who rushed up?!

What if Fang Qi doesn’t care about him…

Fang Wenrui suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

Should he go down first? He felt that the lobby was quite safe!

After a moment of hesitation, there was a “bang” from upstairs. The violent collision scared the already nervous young master.

“What…what’s that sound?”

The three of them paused.

Fang Qi looked up and saw that the sound of the collision seemed familiar.

They had already climbed to the third floor, and the noise came from the fourth floor. He continued to go up without hesitation.

The field of vision was already small in the thick fog. Even if they went to the fourth floor, they could still only hear the sound but not see the object. But judging by the sound, it was in a box on the far left.

The sound of the collision continued. As he approached, he could vaguely hear some other sounds, sometimes dull and sometimes crisp.

Fang Wenrui couldn’t help but be curious and moved closer to the sound. Suddenly, he was tripped by something and stumbled.

He finally stood firm and raised his eyes to meet a pair of dark green pupils.

“Hiss–“

“Ah!”

The monster’s warning roar and Fang Wenrui’s scream sounded almost at the same time. Fang Wenrui’s eyes widened and he took several steps back, bumping into a figure.

He turned his head and hid behind the man without hesitation, subconsciously grabbing the man’s shoulder.

Fang Qi: “…”

However, this is not over yet. The thick fog in front of him was dispersed a little by Fang Wenrui’s large movements, revealing the intact body with dark green pupils.

It’s a dog… No, is it a wolf?

Seeing that they were not approaching, the creature that was not sure whether it was a wolf or a dog lowered its head again and made the sound it had just heard.

That was the sound made by the monster chewing flesh and blood!

It was eating people!

Fang Wenrui’s face turned pale, and he subconsciously exerted force with both hands.

“If you scratch my shoulder again, I will turn you into the thing lying on the ground!”

“!!!”

Fang Wenrui immediately let go of his hand.

Fang Qi took two steps forward again. What he noticed was something different from Fang Wenrui.

The wolf that was enjoying the spoils had a broken hind leg. Coincidentally, what it was chewing was also a human leg.

The person being eaten had died, but his eyes were still wide open, his face full of pain and fear.

Fang Qi did not interrupt the wolf’s eating. He just took a look and stood up indifferently, walking towards the box that was constantly being hit.

At this moment, outside the box, there were densely packed animal ghosts with blood and black intertwined.

There were the most common food ingredients, chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, as well as wild animals that ordinary people may not have seen at all, which were prohibited from hunting by national laws.

When Fang Wenrui saw a palm-sized kitten standing on the head of a deer and baring its teeth and claws at the door of the box, his fear suddenly turned into anger and reached its peak in an instant.

“He…they…!”

It’s so cruel!

They can even attack a kitten!

Fang Qi’s eyes also sank, and he walked straight into the middle of the ghosts. The sudden appearance of the human breath made the ghosts glare at him, but because he was not the target, they did not attack him immediately.

Fang Qi said in a deep voice, “I’ll open the door for you.”

The ghosts looked at him, and some of the more intelligent animals showed him a scrutinizing look.

After a moment, the ghosts surrounding the door of the box made way as if they had received some instructions.

Fang Qi was a ruthless man who didn’t say much. He raised his foot and kicked the door of the box fiercely.

The heavy door opened with a loud sound and hit the wall inside the box with a “clang”.

Fang Wenrui was stunned by his kick.

Fuck! So damn handsome!

“Ah——”

The screams in the box brought him back to his mind from his worship. There was a luxurious dining table inside, and several people in suits and leather shoes squatted under the table.

Fang Qi stood at the door and shouted, “Who is the restaurant owner?”

The box was silent for a while, and someone raised his hand weakly, “I… I am.”

A simple and honest man slowly crawled out from under the table. Because he had met Cao Jing before, the similar faces of the father and son had confirmed his identity.

Fang Qi looked at this man whose appearance and behavior were obviously inconsistent, but he saw that man looked at the vengeful spirit behind him and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He rushed to Fang Qi and said, “Are you the master who answered my call? Are you here to save me?

Quick! Drive those beasts out! Clean them all up, and I’ll give you as much money as you want!”
