The freezer was placed there quietly, reflecting the light from the lamp above.
The cold tone of metallic color is amplified to the extreme here and now, not only cold, but also sharp.
Yu Xing reached out and touched it. There was no lock on this box. All he had to do was insert his fingers into the groove next to the lid, and then use some force to lift it up——
There was a click.
A thin layer of ice was shaken off, and Yu Xing opened the lid of the box to the maximum expressionlessly. Suddenly, a rotting smell that truly belonged to dead bodies hit his face.
A person, or rather a strange man, was cut into many pieces and stored in this special box.
His head was placed on top of the messy corpse. His pale cheeks were frozen and stiff with cold. A pair of eyeballs had long since disappeared, leaving only two black holes where the remaining flesh and muscles could be seen.
This is the only human face that Yu Xing has seen since entering the dungeon, apart from the deducers.
At this time, this human being was stacked together like pork that was displayed in categories in the vegetable market.
"..." Yu Xing looked at the pitted limbs under the head and couldn't help but want to know who carried out the dismemberment.
Is the knife not sharp enough? The cut is so ugly.
Moreover, why do the clothes also need to be cut together?
The message "The person who dismembered the body lacks common sense" quickly jumped into his mind. Yu Xing took out the head with both hands and put it aside, and began to rummage through the meat in the box.
His purpose is naturally the clothes that are divided together with the human body.
These clothes were already in pieces, soaked in blood and stained with an indelible red color, but they could still prove the identity of the corpse from the obvious features such as the fabric, collar and cuffs.
After a few seconds, Yu Xing determined that the corpse was wearing a suit - the kind worn by the foreman and cashier of Zhang's Barbecue Restaurant.
In other words, this man was once an employee of a barbecue restaurant?
Speaking of which...
The man's body was in such a hidden place, and he was the only aboriginal with a face in the whole place. Obviously, the reasons and rules for the establishment of the barbecue restaurant were closely related to this man.
If he guessed correctly...
Yu Xing put out his hand and groped in the blood without changing his expression, and sure enough, he quickly touched a small metal object.
Before taking it out, Yu Xing confirmed what it was - it was an employee's name badge.
Although the deducers and ordinary employees don't seem to have this, the sheep-faced foreman does, which shows that important characters are likely to have something that can prove their identity.
Yu Xing pulled his arm out of the box and held the metal badge. Before he could look at it, he heard a loud bang!
"You are here."
An ax used for chopping wood suddenly split open the door of the refrigerator room. The heavy door was as fragile as foam under the axe.
Yu Xing poked his head out from behind the mountain of corpses, and the huge figure of the sheep-faced foreman, more than two meters tall, appeared in Yu Xing's sight.
At this time, the sheep's face was twitching, its dark eyes shed thin tears of blood, and the sheep's mouth opened slightly, revealing the sharp teeth inside that did not belong to a sheep!
"I've been looking for you for a long time!"
The ax hit the door again, and the fragile door suddenly began to shake.
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows.
When I saw it just now, the foreman was still holding a kitchen knife. I don't know where he got another more threatening-looking weapon in such a short time.
The huge body cast an even bigger shadow. The two moves of the sheep-faced foreman shook the mountain of corpses that had barely calmed down. Several corpses rolled down and then stood up unsteadily.
The corpses were trembling, but just as they were preventing Yu Xing from circling back, they were also preventing the sheep-faced foreman from approaching the freezer.
Even when Yu Xing withdrew the suppressive power brought by the cursed aura to the corpses, the corpses boiled even more than before, and they rushed towards the sheep-faced foreman one by one.
Yu Xing returned to the freezer, but was ignored.
"What did you do to my ingredients?" The sheep-faced foreman chopped up a headless corpse with an axe, his footsteps kept moving, and his gloomy and vicious voice echoed in the semi-enclosed space.
The distance between the foreman and Yu Xing continued to shorten.
Yu Xing is naturally not afraid.
He glanced at the corpses that were unable to stop the sheep-faced foreman but still wanted to pounce upward, and spread his palms.
The metal badge lay quietly in the palm of my hand.
The name on it was blurred by blood. Yu Xing glanced at it and gave up on identifying it. Instead, he used the pad of his thumb to feel the direction of the concave and convex lines.
Based on the carvings, he figured out several Chinese characters.
open……
Small……
Power.
The name tag of the man in the freezer also says "Zhang Xiaowei".
Peng!
The sheep-faced foreman had already arrived in front of Yu Xing.
The jet-black leather shoes look like a dog, and the suit-and-leather creature is no different from a human being as long as its head is amputated.
It lifts the ax with human hands.
"Zhang Xiaowei?" Yu Xing suddenly said.
This was the first thing he said after the door was split open. The ax that was about to hit his head stopped midway.
The foreman stared at him and suddenly grinned.
A sheep has a really weird smile.
Traces of flesh and blood seeped out from between the teeth, and the sheep-faced foreman said in a strange tone: "You've discovered it all."
The body of human Zhang Xiaowei was lying in pieces on the cold floor of the cold room.
"You are the same person..." Yu Xing's eyes were complicated for a moment, "I really can't tell."
Peng!
The ax struck down.
Yu Xing dodged and was thinking about whether to deal with the foreman here or let the foreman live for a while to get more clues.
Just as he was thinking about it, a flash of white appeared in his peripheral vision, and Yu Xing turned around to look.
A woman wearing a chef's uniform was standing outside the door, her familiar face expressionless, but she raised her eyebrows when she met Yu Xing's eyes.
Qu Nianqing stretched out his hand to wave to him and mouthed: "Come over here."
It looked like he had something to say.
Yu Xing decided to let go of the sheep-faced foreman.
He ran out of the cold room at a speed that made people unable to react. The sheep-faced foreman raised his feet to chase after him, but his path was blocked by twisted branches rising from the ground.
The thick branches are not afraid of an axe, and serve as a door to block the refrigerator compartment tightly.
The foreman didn't seem to expect this to happen. While he was stunned, Yu Xing had already arrived at Qu Xianqing's side.
Qu Nianqing grabbed Yu Xing's sleeve and led him to the corridor without any explanation. As he walked, he said: "The chef who works in the kitchen with me is also named Zhang Xiaowei, which is the same as what is written on the foreman's badge."
"I suspect that there is only one name in the entire barbecue restaurant, or in other words, there is only one person."
Zhang Xiaowei, from human to non-human, from being dismembered to eating other people's skin, from beginning to end, he is the only question and answer.
Yu Xing had one more badge clue than Qu Xianqing and thought more comprehensively than Qu Xianqing.
He looked at the bright fruit knife on Qu Xianqing's waist and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Qu Nianqing looked back at him and replied seriously: "The women's room."
