There is no doubt that the man and woman in front of him are the victims of the haunted house.
It's just that for some reason, they don't seem to know that they have been dead for many years, and they are still repeating the same behavior as before.
They called me Mr. Zhao, which was obviously a mistake. However, I could also take advantage of this opportunity to find the darkest place in the haunted house, so I decided to give in and not reveal my true identity.
When we came to the living room, the two of them invited me to sit down, then sat across from me and started chatting enthusiastically.
"Mr. Zhao, our boss Gao used to work as a chef in a restaurant. He is very good at making local beef noodles. If you invest in our noodle restaurant, you will definitely not suffer a loss!"
The hostess said to me with a smile on her face.
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, according to our plan, we can get our money back in at most half a year. You only need to wait for half a year, and you can get the dividends later!"
The male host also rubbed his hands and said vowedly.
The two of them looked at each other and tried their best to win over me. Listening to their stories, I gradually understood what was going on.
To put it simply, the couple planned to open a noodle shop, but they were unable to successfully open the business due to lack of funds.
The "Mr. Zhao" I am playing now is one of their financial backers and plans to invest in the restaurant. This time I am here for inspection.
"Mr. Zhao, let's make some dishes first. How about we chat while eating later?"
While I was immersed in my thoughts, the male host asked me flatteringly.
"Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obey."
I smiled and nodded.
The male host was immediately overjoyed and pulled the hostess into the kitchen. Soon, the sound of chopping vegetables could be heard in the kitchen.
Seeing no one around, I took the opportunity to get up and look around, looking for the location of the extremely dark place.
Although this small building is quite old, the layout is pretty good, with transparency from north to south. From where I stand, I can see the layout of the entire room at a glance.
In addition to the kitchen where the couple was, there was a bathroom behind me, and a bedroom on either side with the door ajar.
I walked over and saw through the crack in the door that the window in the bedroom was bright and clean. There was nothing unusual about the bathroom. It didn't look like a place with the strongest Yin energy.
Where is the most gloomy place? I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
There was nothing to gain from the first floor, so I had no choice but to go to the second floor to explore. Thinking of this, I climbed up the stairs to the second floor, but after taking two steps, a voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Mr. Zhao, where are you going?"
When I turned around, I saw the hostess standing at the bottom of the stairs, tilting her head and looking at me insidiously.
"Oh, I'm bored, why don't I just wander around."
I smiled faintly, tried my best to stay calm, and walked down the stairs.
"Is the meal ready?"
After sitting back down, I deliberately asked the hostess in a relaxed manner.
"It will be ready soon. Mr. Zhao is better not to move."
The hostess still stared at me and said in a cold voice.
I smiled and nodded, but I couldn't help but be more vigilant.
Two minutes later, the host came over with a tray with several side dishes on it.
"Mr. Zhao, try my cooking."
After placing the dishes on the table one by one, the host said to me enthusiastically.
"Lao Gao, why aren't the beef noodles ready yet? That's the staple food we want Mr. Zhao to taste."
The hostess asked the male host with some dissatisfaction.
"Oh, why are you in a hurry? Xiaohong is already cooking noodles. Just wait a little longer."
The male host said impatiently.
"Hmph, this useless thing has not even cooked the noodles for so long. Damn it!"
the hostess said angrily.
Listening to the conversation between the two, I couldn't help but feel curious. Besides the two of them, is there anyone else here?
At this moment, a thin figure walked out of the kitchen.
This is a little girl about seven or eight years old. She is holding a bowl of noodles in her hand, her head lowered, and she is walking towards me.
I took a closer look and found that the girl was in ragged clothes, very thin, and her exposed arms were covered with whip marks.
Even her face was stained with blood. Every step she took, blood dripped down and fell on the bowl of noodles, turning the soup bowl into a scarlet color. It looked shocking!
The host and hostess turned a blind eye to this and continued to curse at the girl. It was not until the girl put the noodles on the table that she waved her away.
"I'm annoyed when I see you. Get away from me!"
The hostess shouted to the girl coldly.
The girl lowered her head and slowly exited the door.
"Mr. Zhao, this is the beef noodle we have carefully developed. It uses secret sauce and century-old soup. It is extremely delicious. Once it is put on the market, it will definitely become a hit!"
The male host said to me excitedly: "Try it, I believe you will be impressed by my cooking skills and agree to invest in our noodle shop."
I lowered my head and looked at the bowl of fishy beef noodles, and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
However, under the gaze of the host and hostess, I could only pick up the chopsticks and pluck at the bowl twice, thinking that I might as well get away with it by picking up a vegetable leaf and eating it.
But as soon as I pulled it, I suddenly discovered that two human fingers were floating in the noodle soup!
These two fingers have been boiled and swollen, but there is still a piece of black mud embedded in the nail caps!
Suddenly, my heart was in a state of turmoil, and I quickly covered my mouth, almost vomiting on the spot.
"Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?"
When the male host saw my reaction, he immediately became unhappy and his face became extremely cold.
"Mr. Zhao, do you think the beef noodles I carefully cooked are unpalatable?"
The hostess also said coldly: "Mr. Zhao, your behavior is very impolite..."
I quickly explained: "You two misunderstood. I just ate a little too much before going out. I just had some stomach bloating."
It is said that ghosts are unpredictable. These two innocent ghosts were the victims of the murderous house case, and they must have deep resentments in their hearts.
If I don't pay attention, these two innocent souls may get angry, so I decided not to offend these two innocent souls until I find the extremely dark place.
"If that's the case, then you should eat less. You can't just eat one bite, right?"
The male host still refused to let me go easily: "If you don't eat a bite, how can you determine the quality of my craftsmanship, and how can you decide whether to invest in us?"
Just as the two enemies were staring at each other, my heart moved and I suddenly took out a handful of paper money from my arms.
"Oh, don't you just want my investment? No problem, I'll take a stake in this noodle shop!"
