Chapter 32 Tumi Restaurant (18)

The sky was dark, like a huge stone weighing on a person's chest.

The cool breeze blew into the restaurant and rolled up the black petals. The proprietress stood elegantly on the spiral staircase and put her hair behind her ears: "In five minutes, it will be dawn."

Xia Lingge, Sicheng, and He Zhinian all raised their heads and looked at the dark sky.

"Will she come back?" He Zhinian asked.

Xia Lingge couldn't answer, and the embarrassed Li Zhizhi said sarcastically: "It's best to die outside forever."

As soon as she finished speaking, a figure staggered up the street not far away. Qin Keqing groped with her hands, following the smell of blood and the faint fragrance of tea flowers in the air, and came to the door of the restaurant little by little. The moment he stepped into the restaurant door, he slowly knelt down on the ground as if he had lost all strength.

"Everyone is here."

The landlady looked down at them, with a strange look on her face and some indescribable excitement, "Now, there are only two of my candidates left who haven't voted yet. Who are you going to vote for?"

Xia Lingge glanced at Qin Keqing and clicked a few times on the dial.

Qin Keqing's hand covering her eyes slowly moved away. In the dark sight, she could vaguely see the outline of the object. She raised her watch tremblingly, but her eyes couldn't help but shed tears: "It's useless, even if I vote, don't use it." ! The gap of two to three, obviously just one more, just one! I still have room for maneuver! But why... why is it me who dies, why is it me, not Xia Lingge!"

She screamed at the top of her lungs, but it didn't move anyone.

The proprietress ignored Qin Keqing's crying and just stretched out her pale fingertips to slide a few times: "Let me see who my successor will be."

The black petals flew and fell on the proprietress's hand to form the character 'Qin'. She opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

"Qin Keqing."

Everyone was stunned.

Qin Keqing raised her head suddenly.

The landlady's eyes wandered around the crowd, she closed her palms, and said with some unclear meaning: "I really didn't expect this result."

"I, I won...?" There were still tears in Qin Keqing's eyes. When she fully reacted, she stood up from the ground suddenly, "I won?! Hahahahahaha, I won!"

Looking at Qin Keqing who was in high spirits, He Zhinian clenched his fists and suddenly grabbed Si Cheng's collar, "Who did you vote for? Is it Qin Keqing! Xiao Lingzi and I helped you so much, and you are like this Treat us!"

Xia Lingge stopped He Zhinian: "No, let go first."

"Tsk, tsk, this is an internal fight." Qin Keqing crossed her arms across her chest and returned to her ladylike appearance, "What's the point of arguing? I'm not the one who wins in the end after all your quarrels."

"You!" He Zhinian wanted to rush over but was stopped by Xia Lingge.

Qin Keqing hummed happily and went upstairs. He Zhinian stared at her back with his teeth itching, "That guy Si Cheng must be in the same group as Qin Keqing, otherwise the votes would never be like this."

"It's not him." Xia Lingge stopped He Zhinian again, "It's me. I gave my vote to Qin Keqing."

"what!"

He Zhinian, Sicheng, and even Li Zhizhi were stunned.

"why?"

Xia Lingge looked at them: "Because this game is not a one-player game, please read the clearance requirements carefully. 'Boss Tumi is about to retire, please choose the next restaurant owner.' Did you find anything missing?" Sicheng thought for a while: "There is no subject. Although it says please choose, it does not specify that I must be the boss of the restaurant."

He Zhinian retorted: "But this is too far-fetched. If the watch is worn on his wrist, doesn't it mean he is a reference to himself?"

Xia Lingge said: "But if you look at the side tasks we triggered previously, each task will clearly point out the character, location, and what needs to be done, instead of diverging in parsing the sentences like a customs clearance task."

"That can only mean that this customs clearance task was deliberately written with idioms to confuse us."

"But..." He Zhinian was still confused, "Even if it's what you said, Xiao Lingzi, you can't vote for Qin Keqing. If it's just one person who wins, wouldn't the opportunity be missed in vain? "

Xia Lingge shook his head and looked back at Qin Keqing, who was standing in front of the proprietress: "Do you still remember that players' identity cards are not allowed to be taken off casually, and the same goes for NPCs."

Those NPCs without identities,

Either, the soul disappears forever, or... becomes a monster.

Qin Keqing was already standing opposite the proprietress upstairs. She tried her best to remain calm, but the smile on her face no longer allowed her to be reserved.

"I really didn't expect..." The landlady looked at her with a complicated expression, "I originally thought... but forget it, you can do it too."

She took off her identity tag and hung it in front of Qin Keqing. At the same time, a cold mechanical sound sounded in everyone's mind.

[Congratulations to players Xia Lingge, Qin Keqing, Si Cheng, He Zhinian, and Li Zhizhi for completing the mission]

[The game gate will open in 30 seconds, please be prepared]

……

"What..." Qin Keqing was stunned when she heard the mechanical sound. If this game was not a one-person victory, then what was the point of working so hard for her.

"Of course it makes sense."

A thin, skin-wrapped hand gently placed on her shoulder. Qin Keqing looked up and saw the landlady in front of her twisting her neck and giving her a sinister smile in an inhuman arc.

"Stay and use it as food for my babies."

Suddenly, those delicate and small black tea flowers suddenly burst into growth, their stems and leaves kept climbing, the flowers expanded and bloomed, and the ground they stepped on shook and cracked. Xia Lingge grabbed Li Zhizhi, and He Zhinian and Sicheng turned their heads. Run outside.

"You..." Qin Keqing felt short of breath.

Those huge vines kept splitting the ground. He Zhinian dodged and shouted: "Didn't you clear the level? Why are you still in the game?!"

"The game is jet lag." Xia Lingge replied, "You must survive during this period, otherwise everything you have done before will be in vain."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a light movement on her left wrist. When she looked back, she saw that Li Zhizhi, who was pulling him to run wildly, was gone, replaced by Qin Keqing.

Qin Keqing coughed a few times: "You actually left me and ran away, you guys are unjust."

He Zhinian quarreled: "Anyone with any brains will not be able to argue with a sinister villain."

Qin Keqing's eyes were fierce, but the ground under their feet began to crack again, and a huge tea flower climbed up behind them. The proprietress stood gracefully on the flower stamens, holding the corpse that had lost all its flesh and blood and only a pile of withered bones. She licked the cracked leaves. On his lips, he smiled softly and said: "The end of summer is desolate, the cold is spreading, and the end of hope is despair. Why run away? Wouldn't it be better to stay and raise my babies obediently?"
