(Please recommend votes, thank you Xiaodao. Lewen Novels|)
The car came to a cafe three streets away from Luotai Restaurant. After getting off the car, they sat at a round table next to the window and ordered a cup of coffee.
"You said seven people died in the restaurant I took over in a year?" Luo Tai sniffed the fragrance of coffee and asked Karina.
Karina nodded while stirring with a spoon.
Luo Tai sighed and shook his head and said, "I'm so unlucky, Fake~ It really responds to those old Chinese sayings."
"What?" Karina asked.
"Getting small gains and suffering big losses."
"Hahaha." Karina laughed.
Luo Tai gave her a blank look and said, "Although your smile is charming, you shouldn't be gloating at this time."
"Sorry," Karina said with a smile, "Oh, are you scared?"
"From our Chinese-Chinese Feng Shui perspective, this restaurant is a haunted house," said Luo Tai.
"Feng Shui?" Karina was puzzled.
"Feng Shui sounds a bit mysterious, but it has been successfully applied as an intangible culture. This shows that Feng Shui is a science, and it is very complicated to say it specifically. If you have to apply some scientific theories... Well... it is a philosophy that studies the laws of the environment and the universe. Since man is part of nature, nature is also part of man, so Feng Shui emphasizes the 'harmony of man and nature'. When nature is harmonious, man will be smooth."
Karina supported her chin with her hands and listened to Luo Tai's discussion on Feng Shui silently.
"Wow, the Chinese culture is so profound. Judging from what you mean, your restaurant has accidents because of the bad feng shui?" Karina asked.
"There are many reasons here. Chinese Taoism emphasizes the Bagua Yin and Yang, which is a kind of balance. In fact, it is also a kind of balance between nature and humans. Specifically for my restaurant, it should be that the yin energy is too heavy. As for why the yin energy is too heavy, it is hard to say." As he said that, Luo Tai lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.
Karina smiled and said, "Mr. Luo, you are such a special person. To be honest, I didn't believe in these mysterious things before. Although I am a Christian and I believe in God, I think it's just a belief that God exists. But I can't see it at all.
This is our second meeting, but for some reason, what you just said. I believe it a little."
Luo Tai smiled and said nothing.
"Did you see something in the inquiry room that day? I mean, why are you shocked?" Karina continued.
"Is there?" Luo Tai asked back,
"Of course." Karina said.
Luo Tai pondered for a while, then looked up and asked, "Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"
Karina was silent. She looked at Luo Tai for a long time before speaking, "I never believed it before, but now. I don't know. I just thought that those psychics and wizards were fake, and they were just pretending to be crazy and fooling to cheat money."
"Many are really pretending to be crazy and foolish to cheat money. But everything has to be seen on both sides. If everyone doesn't believe it, they won't exist." Luo Tai replied as if it were not.
Karina leaned forward and then asked in a low voice: "I was in the inquiry room that day. Did you see something?"
Luo Tai shook his head and said, "Officer Karina, your problem seems to be beyond the police's interrogation of passers-by."
"Haha, Luo, I'm not cross-examined you. I want to ask you as your friend." Karina said.
"Friends? Please, are we friends?"
"I treat you as a friend anyway, unless you look down on me, the f-commissioned police officer." Karina said with a pout.
"Haha," Luo Tai smiled and continued, "According to what you said, I have no choice, how dare I offend F-pillow?"
"Haha, that's right. If it's a friend, please answer my question just now." Karina smiled.
Luo Tai shrugged and said, "Then tell me first, how did those seven people die?"
"I said everything, died unexpectedly." Karina said.
"What an accident?" Luo Tai continued to ask.
Karina raised her head and thought for a while, then said, "Two car accidents, two drowned while swimming, one was hit by objects falling from high altitude, one was choked to death while eating and watching variety shows, and the other... Well... you can't believe it. In the middle of the night, Rotweiler, whom you raised, bit off his throat, and then the dog ran away... We chased for half a month before we caught the mad dog.
Without exception, these seven people were all employees of that restaurant, but they all went to work in the restaurant one after another.”
"Where is the gender?" Luo Tai asked.
"Male, all of them." Karina replied.
"What are they responsible for in the restaurant? Do you know?" Luo Tai asked.
Karina frowned slightly and said, "All of them are chefs."
"In other words, the waiter and the boss are fine?" Luo Tai said.
"Yes. We also find it very strange, but there is no explanation. At least from the case itself, it is an accidental death." Karina said.
Luo Tai stopped talking, and he frowned and looked out the window. He knew in his heart that this was definitely not an accident, there must be a demon at work, but with his existing knowledge of Taoism, he could not see through the root of it. Why are all men and why are they all cooks? However, he knew that in his restaurant, there was an invisible supernatural force that was constantly demanding his life. If this force was not eliminated, there would probably be no chefs coming to his restaurant to work.
Seeing Luo Tai not speaking, Karina asked, "I know you have something to do in your heart. I am a policeman. I want to find out the truth. Can you tell me something you know?"
Luo Tai looked at Karina and asked slowly, "Will you believe what I said?"
Karina was silent for a while, then said, "I believe."
Luo Tai smiled, he put his hands on the round table, and said to Karina with his face: "I did see something you can't see that day in the inquiry room."
"What is it?" Karina felt a little chilled.
"A handsome guy!" Luo Tai said.
"Tsk~~" Karina waved her hand and said angrily and laughed: "Please, I don't want to joke with you now."
"Who is joking with you?" Luo Tai said seriously.
Karina half-believingly put her body in front of her, and said, "A handsome guy? What does it mean?"
Luo Tai said coldly: "At that time, I saw a handsome guy wearing a black suit standing beside you."
"Buzz~~" Karina's scalp became numb. She subconsciously looked to the side. "Ah~~" Karina shouted. Everyone in the cafe looked here.
It turned out that a man in a black suit happened to pass through here, but he paused and looked out the window, as if he was waiting for someone. Karina's scream scared the man, and he took a step back nervously.
"Sir, very sorry." Karina glared at Luo Tai who was already laughing.
"This lady, you scared me, forget it. Forget it." The man exhaled, waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the main entrance of the cafe.
"Christopher. You scared me to death." Karina said angrily.
"Haha, I don't understand, you are a policeman, and you have come into contact with countless dead people, how could you..." Luo Tai said with a smile.
"I was attracted by your words just now. Who knew that there was a person in a black suit next to me like this?" Karina said leaning against the back of the chair.
Luo Tai shook his head with his hands spread out and looked at the man in a black suit who had just walked to the door. It was very strange that when the man walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Luo Tai.
The man suddenly opened his mouth, "Oh~~" Behind his thin lips, there were sharp fangs. It was exactly the same as what he saw in the inquiry room. After that, the man closed his mouth, smiled gloomyly at Luo Tai, and then pushed the door and left the cafe.
Luo Tai calmly stretched out his hand, gently tapped the table, and said to Karina: "Do you think it was a coincidence just now?"
Karina was stunned and asked in confusion: "What? What does it mean?"
Luo Tai turned his head and looked out the window. The night had already fallen. He murmured: "If you believe there are ghosts in this world, then don't believe there are coincidences. Because all accidents and coincidences are controlled by invisible power."
"Can you really see those...those so-called ghosts?" Karina said nervously and curiously.
Luo Tai stood up, waved his hand to signal the waiter to pay the bill, he lowered his head and said, "If you believe it, you will not. I will leave in advance. Thank you for telling me about the restaurant. I have already told you about the matter in the inquiry room, and it is up to you to believe it or not."
"I'll look for you again," Karina said.
"Of course, we are friends." Luo Tai turned around and squeezed his eyes at Karina.
When he walked out of the cafe, night had already arrived. Just now in the cafe, Luo Tai saw the demon again. Luo Tai knew that the demon was warning him from time to time.
Looking at the dimly lit city Luo Tai thought to himself, it seemed that some people's souls were going to be harvested by the devil tonight. Of course, he would not save everyone like he was going to save Scarlett, which would really make the world lose balance. What he had to do now is to find the supernatural power hidden in his restaurant.
Otherwise, his restaurant would face bankruptcy before it opened.
Thinking of this, Luo Tai did not go home but returned to the restaurant. There was no one at the restaurant at this time, and he did not add money to catch up on the progress, so the workers did not work overtime at night.
Luo Tai opened the door lock and entered the restaurant. It was very messy now. After all, the decoration was halfway through, and there were steel nails, paints, and ceramic tiles everywhere.
Luo Tai turned on the lights and the room was bright. He walked around upstairs and downstairs. There was a place in the restaurant that had not started, because Luo Tai thought that it was also possible to cook Chinese food in that place, and that place was the stove!
The stove was in the kitchen operating room, and Luo Tai slowly walked into here. The equipment here was very complete, some were almost new. Luo Tai turned on the lights and looked around, but found nothing abnormal.
If according to what Karina said, the seven dead people were all chefs, then there must be something wrong with the kitchen. He carefully checked every detail of the kitchen, including the floor and every knife on the stove...
Luo Tai looked at it while thinking that he had only a little understanding of Feng Shui, so he could not see any wrong with various equipment, windows, and doors.
Why is a chef? Why is a male? Why? Luo Tai was talking to himself in the kitchen. Suddenly, he had an idea. He ran out of the restaurant, came to the supermarket, and bought some ingredients for dinner. He planned to cook in this kitchen tonight and planned to stay here tonight.
After a while, he returned to the restaurant, closed the door from inside, came to the kitchen and started cooking directly. The kitchen was equipped with very complete equipment, so it was very convenient for Luo Tai to sit up and eat. While cooking, he shouted loudly: "I am a chef, I am an excellent chef, huh huh ~~~"
After a while, the delicious supper was ready. Luo Tai brought a chair and ate it directly in the kitchen.
After dinner, Luo Tai touched her stomach with satisfaction, cleaned up the kitchen, and then sat cross-legged on the ground to breathe and cultivate her mind. Time came unknowingly, it was past eleven o'clock, and Luo Tai, who was slightly tired, leaned against the wall and took a nap.
Suddenly, he felt a storm of cold wind blowing across his face. "Teng" Luo Tai jumped up, and he saw a pale hand stretching out from the sewer!!
Gradually, the other hand was stretched out, then the head, and then the body... The mouth of the sewer was very small, but this person seemed to stretch and contract. As long as he came out of that small mouth, he would become larger.
This woman is wearing a white robe, and there is nothing on her face except a black lips!! She looks very scary. She has a bit of the taste of Sadako in "Midnight Bell", but she looks even more ugly than Sadako!!
"Sizi ~~~" The lights in the restaurant began to make noise, and they disappeared in a short while, and the entire kitchen turned into a dark area~~~
"Oh~~" Luo Tai suddenly felt his neck tightening. The ugly woman floated to his eyes at some point, and her hands tightened his neck.
To be continued...
