Mantra

Chapter 14
Along the way, my mind was full of the warnings of the old squad leader and the green lantern.

When I ran back to my own Bayi Hotel, I was in a bad mood, my calves were shaking all the time, and my throat was almost burning.After knocking on the door for a long time, Wang Hou and Hong Ye took me into the shop.

At that time, I was so emotional that I could barely speak a word.

"Water! Water! Give Brother Tian water!" Hongye looked at my expression and said suddenly.

Afterwards, Wang Hou brought me a bowl of water.Thanks to this bowl of water, I was barely relieved.

"The private restaurant has a big problem!" I said the first sentence.

Maybe my face was so ugly that both Wang Hou and Hong Ye asked me at the same time: "What's the problem? Did they send someone to hunt you down?"

I shook my head, and turned my gaze to Xian Hongye, who looked expectant and anxious.

Her beautiful little face is full of desire for life and concern for me.

I suddenly felt that I couldn't let my hesitation and panic affect Xiao Hongye, who was in a desperate situation, after all, she was already unlucky enough.

Afterwards, I regained my composure, and then told Hongye and Wang Hou about the Qingdeng Building and the possible crisis in that private restaurant.

Of course, the degree of crisis I said was far more "optimistic" than the actual situation that the old monitor told me.I even lied to Hongye that as long as I can go straight to Huanglong Mansion and find the so-called "black meat", we can be completely cured.

But where to find the black meat in the hands of the old squad leader. I don't know at all.

After I finished speaking, I squeezed out a smile and said to Hong: "Hongye, if you trust big brother, you can rest here today! Tomorrow...we will make plans for the next step."

But what is the next step?I don't even know.

Fortunately, Hongye didn't seem to see my worries and guilty conscience at the time, she nodded slightly, and obediently agreed to my arrangement.

Later, I arranged for Wang Hou to solve the problem of Hongye's residence.

Before leaving, I told Wang Hou: "After the arrangement, come to the kitchen to find me, and we will have a pre-war mobilization meeting..."

Wang Hou nodded.

After that, I went back to the kitchen.Sitting alone in a narrow aisle.The blue lantern in my mind lingered for a long time.

I admit that I am afraid, even horrified, because I am facing a powerful unknown.

But I can't give up my promise to Hongye. I even feel that that promise is the last dignity of a soldier, and it is also my confession to Wang Hou and even the old squad leader.

In short, I have no way out, even if I go through fire and water.I can only face everything.

Who made me serve as a soldier... who made me want to be worthy of my conscience.Who told that bastard Wang Hou to have feelings for Hongye?
Sin!

When Wang Hou returned to the kitchen, he and I cooked some noodles and opened a bottle of wine each.

The two of us ate and exchanged ideas with each other.During this period, I told Wang Hou all my worries.

I said, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get into that yin shop. If I went in, I was afraid that I wouldn’t find evidence. If I found evidence, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to save Hongye. If I saved Hongye, I was afraid that I would be trapped. chaos.

But in comparison, Wang Hou's reaction was much calmer and more determined than mine.

When I finished talking about all my worries, Wang Hou smiled.

"Old Tian, ​​you won't give up, will you?!" Wang Hou scolded me half-mockingly.

I was speechless and had to keep drinking.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Hou grabbed my shoulder with a big hand.

Then, his eyes suddenly changed!
At this time, I was shocked to find that Wang Hou seemed to have changed from a simple and honest takeaway boy to the "boss scout" who dominated the battlefield back then!
After Wang Hou drank a few sips of wine, he thought about it for a while, and almost ordered me to say:

"You are only responsible for saving Hongye's life, you are only responsible for the doorway in the food! As for the Yin shop with green lanterns... I will deal with it! I don't care what's in it, and no matter how tight the security guards are, I can solve it Lose!"

Wang Hou is definitely not joking, at least, he thinks he has this ability.

Because he used to be No.2 among hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire military region!Be the best of the best!Tigers in the camp.

Wang Hou's vigor also infected me.Because, from his eyes, I saw the fighting spirit and the fighting will of the past.

That kind of soldier-specific eyes can make people regain their confidence.

In the end, I couldn't stop saying: "Then let's take a gamble! Let's see if his 'heretics' from Qingdeng Yindian are better, or our old mecha master's 'military quality' is stronger!"

Subconsciously, I touched the Swiss Army Knife in my trouser pocket that never left me...
Soldiers are not vegetarians, even veterans!
The next day, relying on his skills as a scout, Wang Hou started his "reconnaissance" operation on that Yin shop.

But what he did completely confuses me.

Wang Hou first asked Hongye for the list of colleagues she invited to the banquet that day, their gender, and clearly marked their phone numbers and positions.

Afterwards, he asked Hongye to go back to work first, trying to put on a calm performance.

At noon, Wang Hou went to the vicinity of the Yin shop alone again.

I don't know what he did in Zhenwei Private Kitchen, I only know that when he came back, he was holding two sets of black suits and sunglasses.He gave me one of the sets to be "on call" anytime.

In the afternoon, Wang Hou took the camera and went out.He didn't come back until the sun went down, and then he shut himself in the house again, and started tinkering with cameras and computers for a long, long time...

During the whole process, I was confused by what Wang Hou did.

I even had doubts about Wang Hou's major in the army. Did this kid study investigation or special agent?I don't understand!

In the evening, as soon as Wang Hou came out of his room, he gathered Hongye and me together, saying that he would show us the results and plans of his hard work throughout the day.

So we had another impromptu "military meeting" in the kitchen of my hotel.

In the kitchen.Wang Hou told us that after careful observation, he found that the security level of this private restaurant is very high. In addition to ordinary security guards, there are also "bodyguards" in black suits.The exact number of security guards could not be determined.But according to Wang Hou's statistics and observations, it should be around 15 people.

The most important point is that this restaurant really, as Hongye said, only accepts orders from VIP customers, and reservations must be made in advance.As for the famous guests, they can only enter under the recommendation of VIP guests.

In the end, Wang Hou threw me a photo, in the center of which was a short and fat man like a fat pig.He was surrounded by bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses.

He pointed to the fat pig man in the photo and said: "This is the owner of the restaurant, his surname is Bai and his name is Bai Wei! There are too many bodyguards around him! It's not easy to get close. It's too specific, and I can't find out."

After listening to Wang Hou's report, I could only respond in silence. After a long time, I opened my mouth and said, "Wang Hou, are you a scout? Or 007?! It's too awesome."

On the other hand, Wang Hou showed off to me in a coquettish way: "You think I can only deliver food by car? Lao Tian, ​​how can I say that I am also the No.2 in the whole army competition. Whether it is technical investigation or tactical investigation, I am like this. "

As Wang Hou spoke, he stretched out his thumb narcissistically.

And I pretended not to see it, after all he didn't show off to me but to Hongye.

When Wang Hou showed enough performance, I said without losing the opportunity: "Platoon leader Wang? Just tell us what we should do next, and I will follow your command."

Wang Hou was a little mysterious, but he said with confidence: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. We will move tonight. You don't have to worry about going to the restaurant. I can handle it. After that, it's up to you. You must investigate and find out this place." The tricks of the Yin shop!"

I smiled helplessly, and at the same time said uneasy:
Do you see mine?Who do I look at?
That night, we let Hongye sit in the restaurant, while Wang Hou and I changed into the suits he sold, and went straight to the restaurant.

In fact, I was thinking along the way, will this Wang Hou's plan work?

It's not that I doubt his ability, but because I'm just a cook after all, and it's the first time I've done this kind of thing going deep into the enemy's rear, so naturally I'm a little nervous.

During the period, I asked Wang Hou how he got in, since we don't have a VIP card, could it be possible to force our way in?

But Wang Hou only answered me with an intriguing smile.

Soon, I followed Wang Hou and returned to the door of the "Zhenwei Private Kitchen Restaurant".

Standing under the green lantern, my body trembled involuntarily.

Scared, more nervous.

As I got closer, I realized that the fence door of that private restaurant was much smaller than I imagined, so small that it gave people a very depressing feeling.In particular, the original red lacquer on the door showed an unnatural blood-purple color under the blue light.Gives a very bleak feeling.

Wang Hou raised his hand and knocked on the door.But no one responded.

"Strange!" Wang Hou continued to knock on the door while talking.

Just as Wang Hou knocked on the door, I raised my eyes to look at the fence door, and my eyes naturally fell on the vermilion facade.

On it, there are two portraits of "door gods".

At that time, I felt a burst of curiosity.

Because I still remember that the old squad leader once told me that the catering industry is not very close to the door.Moreover, a Yin shop like this that dares to hang green lanterns, in my opinion, should know more about the rules. They will not be ignorant of the fact that gods and ghosts are people.

Could it be that they have done too many bad things and are afraid that evil spirits will come to them?impossible.

Or in other words, they are not the door gods at all!
At this time, I followed my train of thought and looked carefully at the two door gods, but suddenly found that they were not "gods".But some kind of evil spirit!

I found that the two door gods on Zhumen are just similar to the door gods we often see.But when you take a closer look, they don't have the power and closeness of the folk door gods at all. Instead, they are weird and terrifying.

The one on the left spit out an unknown white snake from its mouth.The one on the right holds two skulls printed with flowers in both hands.These two "door ghosts", one green and one white, one on the left and the other on the right, are as sinister and infiltrating as hell's seductresses.

What do the snakes in the mouths of the two ghosts mean, and what do the skeleton flowers in their hands mean?I have no idea.All I know is that this thing is evil.

But just when I wanted to study this "Ghost at the Gate" more carefully, Wang Hou finally knocked on the door.

The door opened a crack.

"Welcome!" An extremely thin, eunuch-like voice said "out of thin air".

But when Wang Hou and I followed the sound and looked into the door, we were suddenly dumbfounded.

Because there are only rows of small dark red lanterns in the door, and no one can be seen!

That voice seemed to come from the geography.

I shivered and said to myself, "Is the ghost talking?"

I thought I was dazzled.

Why is there no one in the door?Wang Hou and I looked at each other, but there was indeed nothing inside the door, except for a gray road paved with blue bricks, there were rows of fist-sized, dark red small lanterns on both sides.

Who opened the door?
Just when I was at a loss, I suddenly felt that a hand tugged at the trousers at my feet.

It was light, but enough to make me feel something in my leg.

I instinctively lowered my head, and then unexpectedly found that under my heels, there was actually a... a brat standing there!
Under the light of the blue light, I suddenly felt that the "door ghost" painted on the door came alive!
