Cyber Ghosts Chapter 35 Seeing A Ghost in The Restaurant

It was dinner time.

It was a well-known shopping mall in S City. We invited Zhou Yuan to dinner in a Cantonese restaurant. It's funny that none of us was from Guangdong, but we were having dinner in a place like this. The main characteristic of the restaurant was that there were dozens of tables in the hall, and tea and snacks were served until midnight. Liu Shuai said that it was like a wedding banquet in his hometown. We ordered a few snacks and we told Zhou Yuan what happened these days.

"Avalokiteshvara?" Zhou Yuan frowned, and picked up a milk bun, "you mean you guys met Avalokiteshvara and bring back some elixirs that can save me? "

"Exactly." Liu Shuai and I looked at each other, not afraid that he would not believe us.

"Is it that Avalokiteshvara who deserves no husband in a life?" Zhou Yuan said while eating the buns.

Damn, how could Zhou Yuan say that? I sighed.

Liu Shuai also felt what he said was inappropriate, "Zhou Yuan, be nice, OK? After all, he gave this medicine to you to save you."

"I didn't say that. Wu Chengen did." Zhou Yuan did not feel sorry at all, "did you say that the medicine can save me, but there's only one pill? "

"Yes." I nodded, looked at Liu Shuai, and hardened my heart, "Avalokiteshvara gave me one pill. You, Liu Shuai and Yan, only one of you can have it. We have discussed and decided to save Liu Shuai tonight at my home."

"Save Liu Shuai?" Zhou Yuan was gnawing on the chicken wings with his head lowered, and when he heard my words, he looked up at Liu Shuai, "what's wrong with you? Why does he need to save you? "

"..." Liu Shuai's face turned red. Only then did I realize that I didn't explain Liu Shuai's "little" problem to Zhou Yuan. Just as I was making up a reason for him, Liu Shuai said, "I've lost all my mana and I'll be without any power for half a year."

"Oh." Zhou Yuan lowered his head to gnaw on the chicken wings, muttering, "If that's the case, save him first. I can wait."

Liu Shuai and I looked at each other. A trace of gratitude appeared in his eyes. We didn't expect that he was still thinking of his friends even when he was in a critical situation.

Liu Shuai hurriedly said, " My condition is not critical. I'll be OK in half a year. Let's save you first."

"Hello, here's your Crystal Shrimp Dumplings." I was about to speak when the waiter came over and served with a new dish. The Cantonese snack was exquisite. There were several large prawns wrapped inside the almost transparent dough mask and there were four buns in the small steamer.

"Thanks." I smiled. After she left, my gaze fell on the table that was behind the waiter just now.

There were three people, two girls and a boy. The boy and one of the girls wore black T-shirts. They looked like a couple. The other girl was in blue. What attracted me to these three people was not how they looked, but where they sat.

Normally, when three people ate at a round table, they would consciously sit apart from each other so that they would not leave anyone alone and could communicate with each other. However, the couple in black were sitting close, leaving a big space, while the other girl in red sat on the other side with an embarrassing expression. That couple looked at the video on the phone and ignored the other girl. Although we worked for an internet company, we would turn the cellphones upside down on the table when we eat. After all, communication is more important during the meal.

"Hey, Hao Ning?" Liu Shuai called out to me, "what are you looking at? Is there a beautiful girl? "

"Eh?" I came to myself and felt a little awkward. It's not good to stare at others. But I couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "These young people even play with their cellphones when they eat. Look at the three people at the table behind you. The couple are amusing themselves and completely ignore the girl on the other side. Why don't they just go home and watch TV? "

"Hahaha," Liu Shuai felt a lot more relaxed to hear that. Then he joked, "why did you call them young people? You are not old. And this is the age of mobile Internet. It's normal for people to play with their cellphones while eating."

Liu Shuai turned his head as he said that, and immediately looked back with a serious face, "hey, how many people did you just say?"

"Eh?" I was shocked by his serious tone, "three. What's wrong?"

I could clearly feel Liu Shuai swallowing the saliva. "Obviously, there were only a couple in black T-shirts. Who else did you see?"

I was stunned for a moment, then immediately thought that Liu Shuai might be joking. I knew those scary stories on the internet. I poked Zhou Yuan who was still gnawing on the chicken wing, "hey, stop eating. Look over there." I pointed at the table, "how many people are eating there?"

Zhou Yuan glanced at the table, then lowered his head to eat again, as if he was a reincarnation of a hungry ghost. "Nobody." He said.

"Nobody?!" Liu Shuai and I were both shocked. Were the three of us seeing different things?

"No one is eating. There are only two people looking at their cellphones." Zhou Yuan continued eating.

"What sort of logic is that?" I patted my chest, then felt that something was wrong. I poked him in the cheek, "look carefully! Isn't there a girl in blue sitting opposite them?"

"No, just a boy and a girl in black." Zhou Yuan swallowed the things in his mouth. "Don't poke me with that short and thin thing again!"

"Pfft!" Liu Shuai spewed the water in his mouth out on his clothes. He said with a wry smile, "What short and thin thing? That's his finger!"

Then he stopped laughing and said to me seriously, "I can't see the girl in blue you said. I am not joking."

I was so frightened that my hair stood on end. I looked at the table again and there were three people. The girl in blue seemed to have noticed me looking at her. She turned her head slowly. I immediately get my head behind Liu Shuai to avoid her sight. Pretending to be drinking tea, I whisperd to Liu Shuai, "I swear I can see a girl in blue! Is she a ghost? "

"No way!" Liu Shuai shook his head, "you said you had no mana. If there is a ghost, I can see it with my mana. But I didn't see anything. "

"What are you two muttering about?" Zhou Yuan finally finished his meal and asked.

I lowered my voice, "You can see only two people over there, but I can see another girl in blue!"

Zhou Yuan turned his head to check it again and said with much indifference, "you must have seen a ghost."

"What!" His calmness made me more frightened. "I'm serious!"
