Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 136 The World of Ghosts and Monsters 3

The group turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue eating roast duck, chatting as they ate.

"What do you think was the meaning of Sister Hong's last words?" Jiang Shuang asked.

Liao Zhuang swallowed the roast duck in his mouth and said, "This is a world of ghosts and monsters, and we're still on a funeral street, so we're bound to see ghosts. It's normal to have all the buffs stacked up."

Zhuang Damao frowned and said, "Does this world really have ghosts?" Although he knew that Mo Ying was very capable and good at fighting, for someone who had received years of materialistic education from the organization, it was still hard for him to accept that his worldview had been suddenly overturned.

“It’s called the Ghost World, so there must be ghosts here.” Liao Zhuang paused, feeling a little uneasy at the thought of ghosts, and continued, “But if we do what Sister Hong says, we won’t encounter any ghosts.”

Jiang Shuang pulled out an energy gun and slammed it on the table. "What are you afraid of? If you run into them, you'd better not have any bad intentions. If you dare to have any tricks up your sleeve, I'll beat them to a pulp."

Liao Zhuang silently gave her a thumbs up: "Sister Shuang, you're awesome!"

Lin Xiaoqian, standing to the side, said thoughtfully, "Based on my experiences in the past few worlds, I think that even if we don't go out, we might still encounter ghosts."

Aside from Mo Ying, who kept stuffing duck meat into her mouth, the others all looked at her with horrified eyes.

What the hell are you talking about!

"By the way, what time is it now?" Lin Xiaoqian asked.

Mo Ying's phone was on the table. He peeked at it and saw: "11:59."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded. Calculating the time, it was about right. They had transmigrated at noon, and it had taken them seven or eight hours just to air-dry the ducks. Add to that brushing on the crispy skin glaze and roasting, and it would be midnight by the time they finished.

"What! 11:59?" Liao Zhuang stood up abruptly, looking towards the shop entrance. "The door's still open!"

As he spoke, he ran toward the door, and the moment his hands touched the door, the time turned 00:00.

A sudden breeze stirred outside, filling the air with an eerie atmosphere.

Mo Ying, who was eating roast duck, stopped and looked out of the shop with everyone. At that moment, a wisp of smoke drifted from somewhere in the quiet alley.

The smoke grew thicker and thicker, and one could vaguely make out many figures moving about inside.

Liao Zhuang's hand froze on the doorknob; he seemed stunned and forgot to close the door.

Lin Xiaoqian quickly reminded him, "Liao Zhuang, close the door first!"

As a result, Liao Zhuang ignored Lin Xiaoqian and did not close the door.

The next second, Liao Zhuang released his hands from the doorknob, letting them hang at his sides, and lifted his foot to go out.

"Hmph!" Mo Ying snorted coldly, and with a 'whoosh' he flashed to Liao Zhuang's side, grabbing Liao Zhuang's arm, his hand feeling icy cold.

Looking at his face again, I saw his eyes were fixed straight ahead.

Mo Ying immediately cast a calming spell on Liao Zhuang's head, and Liao Zhuang instantly regained consciousness. Mo Ying keenly sensed something rushing towards the shop behind them.

Now that the thing was inside the store, Mo Ying was no longer worried. She pulled Liao Zhuang back and quickly closed the store door.

As luck would have it, the thing targeted Lin Xiaoqian. The next second, a burst of lightning and sparks appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Xiaoqian, followed by a pile of ashes falling to the ground.

Lin Xiaoqian swallowed hard, stared at the ashes on the ground, and said, "The system is really amazing. It can even electrify ghosts."

Mo Ying said, "Ghosts and monsters are most afraid of lightning, and now their souls have been scattered."

Only then did everyone look at Liao Zhuang, who was pale and trembling slightly, clearly terrified.

Jiang Shuang asked with concern, "Liao Zhuang, are you alright? What happened just now?"

Liao Zhuang swallowed hard, his voice hoarse, and said, "I don't know either. Suddenly I felt a chill down my back, and then I knew nothing more."

Seeing a trace of ghostly energy on his face, Mo Ying grabbed his wrist and used her spiritual energy to travel along Liao Zhuang's meridians, removing the ghostly energy from Liao Zhuang's body.

A week later, Mo Ying released Liao Zhuang's wrist.

Ok?

Mo Ying closed her eyes and carefully sensed it, then opened them in surprise.

"I have to go out for a bit." Then he disappeared.

The group looked at each other, filled with doubt.

Lin Xiaoqian frowned and said, "What's wrong with Mo Ying? Why did she suddenly go out?"

Zhuang Damao also asked worriedly, "Won't there be any danger?"

Jiang Shuang said somewhat awkwardly, "Doesn't he claim to be a powerful demon? What danger could he possibly pose?"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xiaoqian said, "Mo Ying is very strong and shouldn't encounter any danger easily. Perhaps he has discovered something important. It's already late, let's go back to our rooms and rest."

Liao Zhuang's complexion had improved somewhat by now, and he nodded in agreement.

With trepidation, everyone went upstairs and returned to their rooms to rest.

However, the people lying in bed tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Especially Liao Zhuang, after what had just happened, was filled with fear and unease.

As soon as he closed his eyes, a strange chill would rise in his heart. He tossed and turned, and finally, clutching his pillow, he knocked on Zhuang Damao's door.

Zhuang Damao opened the door and saw Liao Zhuang standing there in a panic, clutching a pillow. He asked in surprise, "Liao Zhuang, what's wrong with you?"

Liao Zhuang said in a trembling voice, "Brother Zhuang, I'm a little scared. Can I sleep in your room tonight?"

Zhuang Damao quickly ushered him into the room and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, what's there to be afraid of? That thing has already been completely destroyed. Its ashes are still downstairs."

Upon hearing this, Liao Zhuang felt even more uneasy. He hugged the pillow in his arms tightly and forced a smile, saying, "Well, Brother Zhuang, I'll sleep on the floor. It's getting late, you should go to sleep."

He was about to lie down on the floor when Zhuang Damao grabbed him: "Hey, this bed is 1.8 meters wide, enough for two people to sleep on. Why sleep on the floor?"

Liao Zhuang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately lay down on the bed with Zhuang Damao.

Perhaps because his companions were nearby, Liao Zhuang quickly fell asleep, but his sleep was not very restful.

The next day, around eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiaoqian got up and knocked on Mo Ying's door, but no one opened the door or answered.

Lin Xiaoqian muttered to herself, "Has Mo Ying not returned yet?"

I don't know where he went.

Jiang Shuang, Zhuang Damao, and Liao Zhuang also got up one after another. Liao Zhuang saw Lin Xiaoqian looking thoughtful and asked, "Xiaoqian, hasn't Moying come back yet?"

Lin Xiaoqian shook her head, "No, I don't know where he went."

The group went downstairs and made a quick breakfast. While they were eating, the shop door was pushed open.

At the entrance, Mo Ying exclaimed with delight, "This place is my blessed land!"

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, he raised an eyebrow and explained, "In just one night, I've regained 10% of the 50% of my demonic power that I lost! My return to my peak is just around the corner!"
