55, restaurant
Unlike other campus ghost stories that only appeared in the past two years, according to Xu Lele, the legend of the late-night restaurant has a long history and was passed down from the mouths of seniors who were many years older than them.
On a winter night many years ago, several senior high school boys sneaked out of their dormitories in the middle of the night, intending to climb over the wall and go to the Internet cafe to play games. When passing by the restaurant, they discovered that the lights were still on so late at night.
Several students happened to be hungry and were unknowingly attracted by the tempting aroma emanating from the restaurant.
They walked into the restaurant one after another and saw that the restaurant was crowded with people. They finally found an empty seat to sit down.
There was a very beautiful girl sharing the table with them, and one of the boys boldly stepped forward and asked her for her phone number. But the girl licked her lips and told them that she would tell them if she was invited to eat.
What's the big deal about a meal? Several boys agreed wholeheartedly and rushed to pay the bill. The woman thought for a while and said she wanted to eat beef noodles. One, two, three, four, five... the five of you, just treat me.
Let's eat five bowls.
So five boys lined up at the window and asked for five bowls of offal noodles. After a while, the cook's voice came from the window: "There is no more offal."
What should we do? We can't treat guests without beef noodles. At this time, the cook said again: "Then you guys can come in."
"——In the end, none of them came out. A quarter of an hour later, the fat chef brought out five bowls of noodles with a smile, covered with blood-red broken organs, and placed them in front of the girl..." Xu Lele lowered his voice and spoke vividly.
He said, "None of them saw that there was already a big hole in the back of that beautiful girl's head..."
"Later, many brave students came to visit, but in the end, none of them came back..."
When Xu Lele said this with a ferocious expression, Lao Liang couldn't help but interrupt.
"That's wrong! Since they are all dead, who told this story?"
Xu Lele whined for a long time and scratched his head: "Maybe... maybe not all of them died, and one or two people came out alive."
"Just listen to half of the stories that are made up to scare people," Xie Xingyin said. "Like those supernatural stories on forums that swear by personal experiences, only a few of them are true."
"get out of class ends in half an hour, just go and take a look and find out." Lao Liang said, pointing at Xu Lele, "Little Fatty, you, lead the way for the imperial army."
As soon as Xu Lele heard that they were going to that damn place in the middle of the night, she was willing to follow them. As soon as the bell rang, she disappeared and disappeared faster than a monkey. Xie Xingyin and the others had no choice but to go to the restaurant by themselves.
After the self-study get out of class at 9:30, the restaurant will serve a small amount of midnight snacks, fried chicken steak, hand cakes, etc. Some students will come to the restaurant to eat something before going back to the dormitory.
The flow of people near the restaurant is quite large now. Xie Xingyin and the others went in to buy something and stood in a hidden place by the nearby woods, eating and waiting.
After a while, the number of people near the restaurant gradually became sparse. After the lights were turned off in the dormitory at 10:30, no one could be seen near the restaurant.
Xie Xingyin and the others stood in the woods not far away for a while. After Lao Liang polished off the last pearl in the milk tea, the lights in the restaurant went out. Then, the chef on duty came out and locked the door.
leave.
Xie Xingyin has been to the restaurant many times. The restaurant was quite busy during the day, but now it is so quiet at night that no one can be seen. This feeling is completely different.
They waited outside the restaurant for a long time. When twelve o'clock came, the lights suddenly came on in the back kitchen. The lights were as miserable as paper.
Xie Xingyin squinted his eyes and tried to adapt to the light.
The light seemed to be coming from the back kitchen. Through the frosted glass, a fat figure wearing a chef's hat could be seen, chopping meat with a knife in hand. I don't know what kind of meat he was chopping, and the fishy smell was carried by the wind.
, Lao Liang retched for a while and almost vomited.
"The food hygiene in this school is not up to par. The kitchen smells worse than the toilet." Lao Liang pinched his nose hard.
When the group saw this, they no longer kept any secrets and entered directly through the lighted door.
Sure enough, the restaurant was already "open for business".
There was no one in the hall at this moment, only a few figures were sitting sparsely.
Xie Xingyin glanced to the side and saw that the man sitting next to them was as skinny as a stick, with a big hole in his stomach and his intestines leaking out. He was gobbling up food like a starving ghost.
He was holding a bowl of noodles, but no matter how hard he tried, the noodles leaked out of his stomach as soon as he took it from his mouth, and he couldn't get enough.
Feeling that someone was looking at him, the starving man raised his head and showed a malicious expression: "Do you want to ask me about something? Just buy me something to eat."
Xie Xingyin didn't answer. This guy definitely didn't know what they were asking, and he still had to find someone responsible.
After waiting for a while and not getting the answer he wanted, the hungry man felt bored and lowered his head and continued eating.
Since the restaurant opened at midnight, "people" have been coming in one after another at the door. Seeing more and more "people" coming in, the restaurant has quickly become full.
"Why are there so many people?" Lao Liang asked curiously.
The starving ghost poked his head in and said, "They're not humans. The late-night restaurant is full of ghosts. Because all the ghosts who died on campus have to eat here."
Xie Xingyin nodded, thinking: If that's the case, then they can just wait for Zheng Ranran to come.
The starving man on the side looked at Lao Liang's head and licked his lips. Lao Liang hurriedly covered his head and shouted: "You... don't mess around! I didn't ask you, you rushed to answer it yourself!
"
The starving man seemed a little disappointed and unwilling. He stared at Lao Liang and swallowed again. He finally sat back and continued to slowly eat his bowl of noodles.
When the restaurant was finally full, no more ghosts came from outside.
Everyone got up early and started searching in the restaurant, and finally found Zheng Ranran at the window seat.
She was burned by fire and fell from a high place. Her current appearance is more tragic than that of ordinary ghosts, and she is particularly easy to recognize.
It was unknown whether she could see anything after being burned like this. Chen Qing sighed, handed her the incomplete baby skeleton, and whispered something.
Zheng Ranran held the skeleton, staring at it with empty eye sockets. After a moment, two lines of blood stains appeared, and she muttered something.
"What did she say?" Lao Liang didn't hear clearly.
Chen Qing sighed: "She said she doesn't want to eat our intestines, as long as we help her piece together her son's bones."
That baby was indeed Zheng Ranran's child.
Xie Xingyin originally thought that the missing head of the baby's corpse would be in the sixth ghost story, but unexpectedly it was not.
Now they have to look elsewhere for the skull. So where will the baby's skull be hidden?
That night, Xie Xingyin dreamed that he was back in the abandoned laboratory building again.
He stood in the central flower bed, and the little baby he saw was standing under the peach blossom tree. The peach blossoms on the tree above his head were in full bloom.
He was involuntarily fascinated and wanted to step forward to appreciate the fragrance. But if he looked carefully, he saw that there were no peach blossoms on the tree. They were all blood-red baby handprints.
Xie Xingyin was frightened and suddenly opened his eyes.
Before he could recover from the nightmare, he was immediately frightened even more.
——He caught a glimpse of someone standing beside his bed, seemingly looking at him.
It wasn't Lu Fen, Lu Fen was lying beside him.
Xie Xingyin felt that his heart was pounding so hard, like a gas tank that was about to explode at any time. He originally thought it was a nightmare that he hadn't woken up from, but when he secretly bit the tip of his tongue, the tingling sensation was real.
Xie Xingyin swallowed and slowly turned his stiff neck. Sure enough, he saw a person looking at him face to face.
Although I can't see the face clearly, judging from the body shape, it should be Xu Lele.
Xie Xingyin's worried heart was only half relieved. Xu Lele's sleepwalking was getting more and more severe. Before, he just sat up, but this time he stood directly at the head of his bed, which almost scared him to death.
However, at this time, when the moonlight broke through the clouds and shone over, Xie Xingyin discovered that Xu Lele's eyes were open, and the eyes were clearly black and white.
The two looked at each other, and Xie Xingyin trembled. Before he could throw out a punch, someone pressed his shoulder.
Then he felt Lu Fen sitting up behind him, turned over him, and jumped out of bed.
Xie Xingyin was stunned for a moment by his pressure, and then he came back to his senses and looked down, only to see that Xu Lele had been controlled by his arms being twisted backwards.
Xie Xingyin also climbed down the ladder, and the two of them escorted Xu Lele into the toilet. This guy stayed up late at night and spied on Xie Xingyin furtively. He deserves to be tortured to extract a confession.
But after being caught by them, Xu Lele seemed to be very scared.
"Yes, someone wants to kill me!" He said incoherently, his whole body trembling, his face glistening with snot or tears.
Xie Xingyin pinched his shoulder: "What's going on? Don't be impatient. Speak slowly."
After a while, Xu Lele's mood stabilized, and he sobbed and settled the matter honestly.
"Someone wants to kill me." Xu Lele said, "I didn't want to harm you, I just... just wanted to know who was doing it, so I got up in the middle of the night to observe you."
It turned out that Xu Lele had also participated in night talk club activities. But two days ago, someone put rat poison in his snack jar.
"Why is it targeting you?" Xie Xingyin felt strange. Xu Lele did not participate in the last event of the Night Talk Club with them. Who wanted to target him.
But Xu Lele cried and said: "You...have you forgotten, because that time we found something we shouldn't have seen."
"What?" Xie Xingyin immediately turned his head and stared at him. Even Lu Fen's eyes could not easily detect that they had changed a little.
