Chapter 128

Covered platters were carried to every table.

A smile appeared in Chef Li’s eyes. “You may eat!”

As the Amusement Park’s number-one glutton, Li Yang couldn’t wait to lift the lid.

At that moment, the previously noisy restaurant fell silent. Everyone’s gaze gathered on the dish.

Calling it a dish wasn’t quite right, either.

A human head made of some unknown material sat on the platter. Inside it were blood-red liquid and white brain matter, both visible to the naked eye.

A group of girls silently set down their chopsticks, their faces twisting.

Li Yang closed his eyes. This sight was simply too much to accept.

But the group sitting on the other side gradually grew excited.

They were ER doctors!

Who knew how many craniotomies they had performed? They had seen this sort of thing plenty of times!

Of course, no matter how often they had seen it, eating it was a first.

Xu Kuan silently sighed. Steeling himself, he picked up a soup spoon and shakily scooped up a piece of brain matter stained with fresh blood.

The moment he put it in his mouth, a spicy, numbing sensation erupted.

The blood was actually a chili-based broth, while the brain matter was tofu.

Mixed together, the two stimulated Xu Kuan’s taste buds so much that he took another bite.

Seeing that someone had already started eating, Li Yang ultimately failed to resist the temptation and picked up his spoon.

Soon, the entire restaurant sank into a strange atmosphere.

Zhang Bei waited a full five minutes. Only after seeing that no one had dropped dead from poison did he pick up his spoon and start tasting it.

Chef Li pushed out a cart full of ingredients, smiling as he came over.

“After you finish what’s inside, you can press the nose. That’s the switch, and it will heat up.”

That’s right. This human head was actually a uniquely styled hot pot!

Chef Li delivered the ingredients to the table, then sat down directly beside Zhang Bei.

The deeply worried Boss Zhang unknowingly let out a sigh of relief as well.

It was fine now. From the looks of it, he should be safe for the time being. Chef Li wasn’t going to poison him!

While everyone was immersed in the delicious food, Li Yang quietly took out his phone and swiftly typed up a message.

When it came to screwing over the boss, he was serious!

It definitely wasn’t for a barbecue meal from Qingqing!

Definitely not!

After the strange dinner ended, Zhang Bei followed the small path toward the parking lot.

The moment he opened the car door, a cold wind blew past.

The streetlights flickered, bright one moment and dark the next. One black and one white figure were drifting toward him from not far away.

Zhang Bei silently opened the trunk and took out his exclusive weapon.

But after taking a closer look, he put it back.

Never mind. With that height, plus that way of walking, he could tell at a glance it was Qingqing.

Wasn’t it a little ridiculous for someone that short to play White Wuchang?

As for the Black Wuchang beside her, he didn’t even need to think. It was absolutely that little brat Li Yang!

Zhang Bei watched the two of them approach and silently sighed.

He stepped forward, grabbed Li Yang’s arm with one hand, and turned. In the blink of an eye, Li Yang was lying on the ground.

Qingqing was still dragging around her long tongue, not even having time to react before Zhang Bei grabbed her by the ear.

“Having fun?”

“Ow, ow, ow! Be gentle!”

Zhang Bei used one hand to yank off Qingqing’s long tongue. “Couldn’t you make the prop a little more realistic? This thing is made of paper. It’s way too fake!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yang rubbed his numb back from the fall and got to his feet.

Zhang Bei looked at the shadows showing on the ground not far away. “All of you, come out!”

As his voice fell, a crowd of demons, monsters, and ghosts slowly walked out.

Zhang Bei swept his gaze around them. “This jiangshi looks pretty convincing. This vengeful ghost isn’t bad either!”
At the sound of that mocking voice, all the employees looked toward Qingqing. She was the one who had found the costumes, and she had arranged everything!

But Zhang Bei’s gaze quickly locked onto Gu Yue.

“Explain this to me. What exactly were you thinking with this Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li outfit?”

Gu Yue’s face flushed red. Looking at the Linglong Pagoda in her hands, she wanted nothing more than to crawl into a crack in the ground.

Could she be blamed for this?

Huh?

By the time she got there, this was the only costume left. What was she supposed to do?

Seeing that all the amusement park employees were here, Zhang Bei’s eyes soon fixed on the back of another car.

“Chef Li, Doctor?”

As soon as he spoke, two figures walked out awkwardly.

Looking at the way they were dressed, Zhang Bei fought hard not to burst out laughing.

The Doctor was very obviously supposed to be some kind of chainsaw killer, except what he was holding was just an ordinary little saw.

As for Chef Li’s outfit, it left Zhang Bei rather silent.

He had to think for several seconds before he finally figured out who he was supposed to be.

“A tank-build Nezha from a bad pun?”

Chef Li turned his head away in humiliation. Was this his fault?

All the lousy costumes Qingqing had found were small sizes. This was the only one he could fit into!

After sweeping his gaze around, Zhang Bei finally fixed his eyes on Qingqing.

“So you’re the mastermind again?”

Qingqing rubbed her ears. “Boss, uh, if I said I just wanted to give you a surprise, would you believe me?”

Zhang Bei’s expression darkened. “Why don’t you guess whether I believe you?”

But when he thought of his new attraction, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

“In about half a month, the new facility will be ready to play. All of you, get prepared!”

At those words, Qingqing’s face instantly turned ashen.

You Bai tore off the wig. “I lost so badly for just one barbecue meal!”

Li Yang nodded with deep feeling. “Yeah, seriously not worth it!”

Seeing that all her teammates were about to abandon her, Qingqing gritted her teeth. “I’ll add one more Japanese meal!”

With the farce over, Zhang Bei handed out experience cards to everyone one by one.

“Go back and rest. You still have work tomorrow!”

The employees, who had endured endless ridicule, dragged Qingqing all the way out of the parking lot.

Zhang Bei also drove off with a smile on his face.

The next morning, Chef Li arrived at the Amusement Park early and was immediately startled when he saw Zhang Bei.

“Boss, what happened to you?”

At that moment, Zhang Bei had medical tape stuck to his face, and faint scrapes could still be seen on his forehead.

“What do you think it means when the car to your left suddenly turns on its windshield wipers at night?”

Chef Li thought for a moment. “To wipe the windshield?”

Zhang Bei felt the pain on his face. “That’s what I thought too.”

That’s right. Boss Zhang had gotten into a car accident on the way home.

The accident wasn’t serious, just a few scrapes.

But the car he had only bought not long ago had successfully been sent back to the 4S dealership.

Back to last night: Zhang Bei was waiting at a red light when the car beside him turned on its hazard lights, then inexplicably switched on its windshield wipers.

While he was wondering why they would wipe the windshield right then, the car beside him launched forward and slammed straight into him.

Although he wasn’t badly hurt, Zhang Bei did come to understand one thing.

Next time he ran into a situation like that, he had to get as far away as possible. The thing trying to take your life wasn’t necessarily a visitor.

It might also be a newbie who had just gotten their driver’s license.

After hearing the story, every employee felt the satisfaction of a great wrong finally being avenged.

You Bai sat in a chair off to the side, sipping soy milk in small mouthfuls.

“So your allotted lifespan really is almost overdrawn, huh?”
