Chapter 118: Family Banquet on the Bite of China
Dong dong dong… dong dong dong…
There was a knock on the door outside. Wang Ke, who was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, raised his head and straightened his clothes before walking to the entrance. He glanced at the monitor, and the camera outside captured a hunched old man.
The old man lowered his head, so his face could not be seen clearly.
Wang Ke wasn’t prepared to open the door.
“Crack!”
The door opened.
Wang Ke took a step back while the old man appeared at the door.
A gust of cold wind blew from the entrance, and the surrounding temperature slowly dropped.
Slurp!
The plastic bag in the old man’s hand dropped to the ground. Some pickled vegetables, some onions, ginger, and garlic spilled out.
“I’ll cook later.”
The old man’s voice was rather soft. It was not like a girl’s voice, but more like the sound of his throat being filled with liquid.
Wang Ke took a deep breath. At this moment, he was calm to the point he took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them back on before he said,
“Even though I know the chance of persuading you is low, I still have to try. I really have nothing to do with that hospital.”
“Oh.”
The old man responded before raising his head. His skin had started to wrinkle up at this moment. Previously, it was just a little old spots, but now, it had completely turned into dry elm bark.
It was rough, dry, and cracked. Its eye sockets sank, and there seemed to be a green flame flickering in its empty eyes.
“Who cares?”
The old man took a step forward and closed the distance between him and Wang Ke.
“Other people don’t care about our lives, so why should I care about other people’s lives?”
Wang Ke sighed as he watched the old man draw closer to him step by step. “I think I’m still a good person, and then I feel very sorry for what happened to you.
“Although I don’t know what happened to you…”
Bang!
Wang Ke hadn’t finished speaking when his entire body was flipped onto the ground. The old man’s strength was extremely great, and it was great to the point that an adult man like Wang Ke was like a little chick before him.
This fall really wasn’t light. Wang Ke’s left arm was directly fractured, and countless ribs on his chest were broken.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not a police officer. I don’t like to talk about evidence.”
The old man squatted down by Wang Ke’s side.
“In any case, the person in that picture, the person related to that hospital, will die.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man stretched out his hand and patted Wang Ke on the face. A few of the old man’s fingers were missing, and green pus continued to seep out from the severed fingers, causing him to seem extremely disgusting.
Wang Ke heaved a long sigh of relief and endured the intense pain. He seemed to have accepted his fate.
Right at this moment, the old man raised his head and looked towards the staircase. Wang Ke’s wife stood there and stared blankly at everything below. The woman had changed into pajamas and was now dressed in sports attire. She seemed to have intended to go out for a morning jog.
“Go back and sleep. I don’t kill women.”
The old man laughed savagely as he stood up, and then he stretched out his hand to grab Wang Ke’s ankle. He walked in front while Wang Ke followed behind him, and the two of them entered the kitchen together.
Wang Ke’s wife walked down from upstairs and stood at the kitchen door.
The old man looked at the woman at the door with surprise. He seemed to have prepared himself, but he thought the woman would call the police, but she did not.
She thought the woman would use something to save her husband, but she did not.
In fact, the old man thought that it was understandable for the woman to scream, cry, plead, run away, and so on, but the woman’s next reaction was rather shocking.
The woman stopped at the kitchen door for a moment before turning around to bring in the ingredients that the old man had brought. She took out various condiments from the kitchen cupboard and started to clean the old man’s dishes.
When Wang Ke who was lying on the ground saw this scene, he stretched out his hand to wipe his face and said with slight helplessness,
“Honey, you’re acting up again.”
The old man was slightly puzzled by the woman’s actions. Since he was unable to figure it out, then he didn’t think about it any further. The old man lifted Wang Ke up and pressed his neck into the sink before turning on the tap and starting to wash him with cold water.
The woman at the side picked up the knife. Instead of cutting the old man, she started to cut the garlic and scallions for him. Her speed was fast, showing her culinary skills. At the same time, she opened the gas valve, poured oil into the pot, and lit the fire.
The reason why the old man brought so many side dishes was already very clear. As for the woman, she seemed to be helping the old man.
The kitchen was very harmonious. Everyone was working hard to prepare a delicious dish.
Wang Ke didn’t resist. He was clearly aware that he couldn’t resist any longer.
The old man stretched out his hand, grabbed Wang Ke’s hair, and lifted his head up. After that, the old man ceaselessly moved his nails along Wang Ke’s skin.
Like a customer who had gone to the mall to buy meat, he was choosing which part to buy.
“Stir it first, then make some bone soup. It’s delicious.”
Wang Ke’s wife stood at the side and spoke to the old man. She spoke very seriously, and it showed that she’d thought about it carefully. At the same time, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva because she was slightly hungry.
The old man seemed to be slightly accustomed to this mysterious wife of his, and he actually pondered for a moment before he agreed to Wang Ke’s wife’s suggestion in the end.
The old man was about to use his nails to cut the meat, but Wang Ke’s wife took the initiative to hand the kitchen knife over and gestured for the old man to use it.
She pointed at the old man’s fingernails and said, “Dirty, unhygienic.”
The housewife who had plenty of experience in the kitchen knew that the freshness of the ingredients often determined the quality of a dish. One had to be as strict and meticulous with the ingredients as possible, so as to not let any external factors affect the taste of the ingredients. This was responsible for oneself and also for one’s family.
The old man who had already turned into a corpse charm ate more than ten people from the hospital to replenish himself. He could be considered a glutton.
He was deeply aware of the difference in a person’s gender and age, as well as the working environment and physique, and it usually decided the taste of the dish. The old man had taken a fancy to Wang Ke, and he had a lot of lean meat on him. He was almost middle aged, so he didn’t seem greasy, and his bones were well-developed and were very suitable for consumption.
This was a gift from nature, and the old man clearly knew the secret to cooking this dish. This was the last person he planned to kill, so he planned to reward himself with something grander.
He believed that in this way he could soothe the anger and sorrow he had experienced before his death. This was the magical effect of food.
The green flame in the old man’s eyes flickered as he accepted the knife. However, he did not have many fingers. When he picked up the knife, he appeared to be unsteady, but he still used his remaining fingers to grab the handle.
Wang Ke was swaying, so the old man could only turn around and strike the back of Wang Ke’s head with the back of his saber. Wang Ke directly fainted, and it was just like slapping a fish unconscious while killing a fish.
And then…
The elder’s saber fell!
Clang!
There was a crisp sound.
The blade in the old man’s hand flew down, and a long tongue appeared out of nowhere. It was like a whip that hit the old man’s wrist, and it pulled the blade away.
Wang Ke’s wife turned around and looked behind her.
The old man turned to look at the kitchen door as well. Standing there was a little girl.
The loli’s mouth was open, and half of her tongue was still outside. The kitchen knife was under her feet, and her eyes sparkled. She looked imposing, but one of her hands had already grabbed the door frame to support her body. It was obvious that she was already at the end of her rope and was on the verge of collapse.
Wang Ke’s wife looked at the little loli, waved her hand gently, and said,
“Ruirui is awake. Come, brush your teeth and wash your face. We’ll have soup later.
It’s soup made from Daddy’s meat. It’s very delicious. The bowl is filled with fatherly love. ”
The loli looked at the woman in front of her with a complicated expression. She was still so excited that she could not control herself.
The old man turned his head slightly and stared at the loli.
“Yin Si Order, the Yellow Springs can be crossed!”
The loli forced herself to focus.
The tongue in his mouth extended again.
“The Yang Realm is not a place where a wandering ghost like you can behave atrociously. You are only a ghoul and have no right to jump out!”
The tongue shot out again and struck the elder’s chest.
Crack!
The old man’s chest caved in, and he flew backward, crashing into the tile wall. A large dent appeared on the wall behind him.
However, the old man slowly crawled up again.
His fingernails were long and black, and pus dripped from the corner of his mouth. However, he stood up again and continued to look at the loli.
“There really is… Yellow Springs?”
The old man was a little confused.
He seemed to think of his family.
Everyone had their own plot, because when they grew up, they would run into their loved ones leaving.
In the eyes of the Chinese, the Yellow Springs was a place of mourning.
The loli’s tongue stretched out once again, but it was obvious that the force this time was much weaker than the last time.
The old man reached out with both hands and grabbed the tongue. Although his body shook, he was not sent flying again. Then, his nails started to cut the tongue madly.
Pu!
Tongue snapped.
The loli knelt on the ground, her body spasming. The light in the depths of her eyes was sometimes clear and sometimes lost.
It wasn’t easy for her to escape from Chengdu.
Unexpectedly, a shapeless corpse devil took advantage of this opportunity to attack his home!
If it were any other time, he would definitely wipe out this person who dared offend him!
“Are you… a ghost? Is there really a netherworld?”
The old man looked scary. There was a huge hole in his chest and pus all over his body. He muttered to himself before he started to scream like a madman.
“Since there’s Yin Si and Hell, why didn’t the people who should go to Hell go to Hell?
Those evil people, those sinners, could still continue to harm people in the Yang Realm!
“I… I… I will eat all of you. I will eat all of you, you bunch of trash, you bunch of people who only know how to eat.
Cut them all up and throw them into the pot to cook! ”
As the old man spoke, he lifted the unconscious Wang Ke up once more. At the same time, a clang resounded as the pot was swept away by him, and the blue flames on the stove were still rising.
The old man grinned ferociously as he made a move to send Wang Ke’s head into the flames.
The loli struggled to raise her head.
He berated,
“How long are you going to watch from the sidelines? I understand that you don’t want me to come back alive, but how can you leave your childhood friend in the lurch?”
“I really didn’t expect you to be back.”
At the entrance, Zhou Ze walked out. He walked in front of the little loli and looked at her kneeling on the ground.
For some reason, there was a low-level thrill in his heart.
To put it simply, a petty person would be arrogant once he got what he wanted!
You have such a day.
“Come, let Uncle touch it.”
Zhou Ze reached out and rubbed the little loli’s head.
Hehe.
You actually have such a day.
The loli bit her lips tightly, her eyes filled with shame and anger as she said,
“Save him.”
“You really think he’s your father?”
Zhou Ze was surprised.
Zhou Ze knew that she was injured. She could have avoided going downstairs, but she still showed up. It seemed like this childhood friend of his was not completely useless. He was actually willing to sacrifice his life to save him.
Compared to himself,
He was practically a villain now.
Even he himself felt like he was not a good person.
He was only testing to see if the little loli had returned. However, if Zhou Ze had entered earlier, Wang Ke would not have suffered any physical pain.
Zhou Ze was also a little dazed. People did seem to change.
In the past, he was so kind, so righteous, and caring.
He seemed to be a lot more selfish than before.
Of course, Zhou Ze had no choice but to be cautious. The little loli’s existence was a thorn in his heart, and he had to treat it seriously.
The old man was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhou Ze walk in, but when he noticed that Zhou Ze didn’t pay any attention to him and was only paying attention to talking to the little girl instead of looking at him, he didn’t hesitate to continue sending Wang Ke’s head towards the flame.
“Wu wu wu!”
Cries came from outside the kitchen window.
Then…
A slender white figure directly smashed through the window and flew in, smashing the old man to the ground. Wang Ke tumbled to the side as well, and he was spared the fate of being roasted. At the very least, that was the case for now.
The old man quickly stood up and reached for the white shadow. For a moment, there was a dull noise coming from the kitchen like two people were swinging their hammers to smash something.
Next,
It was a battle between the domesticated and the wild.
