Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 372, Section 064: The Undead (Happy start of the new semester for readers who abstain from alcohol!)
"Get ready! The boss will be here in an hour!"

The manager with the mustache spoke in a distasteful voice.

As if waking from a dream, everyone straightened their appearance and quickly caught up with the team setting up the site.

……

All kitchen dishes have their own dedicated food elevators, and designated servers will notify the chefs. The chefs will then personally serve the dishes after they are prepared, preventing others from touching the food. Therefore, at this time, the waiters are more like a ceremonial guard.

All they need to do is maintain a courteous demeanor, quietly wait outside for guests to summon them, and ensure that guests have a pleasant dining experience.

Fortunately, the outer area of ​​the Ocean Restaurant is not boring. While everyone is getting ready, they can also look at the carefree fish around them.

Occasionally, a playful dolphin will tilt its head curiously, give them a gentle kiss through the glass, then swirl around in the water before swimming away contentedly.

Jin Ziyue glanced at it; from this angle, he could actually see the situation inside the hall, which was enough.

This ocean-themed restaurant sealed off the remaining escape routes and prevented intruders, but also...

This also left Chixingluan with nowhere to hide.

In fact, although the defenses were formidable, they were not absolute.

At least--

Jin Ziyue's eyes narrowed. Wen Fengsheng had told him that no indoor facility could stop Kou Lin's bullets.

His inscription reads: "Who can see without obstruction?"

Within a precise line of sight, no obstacle poses a threat. Kou Lin's destiny is a rare spatial-transcending destiny, allowing him to attach his own void bullets to his sniper rifle. Because these bullets never miss and are unstoppable, they have earned him the reputation of "Void Sniper."

The so-called "vision" refers to Jin Ziyue, who was present at the scene.

In the best-case scenario, he wouldn't need to take action; he could simply act as Kou Lin's eyes and ears.

……

"Then goodbye forever!"

Qi Tongli angrily hung up the phone.

He lost his composure and was furious with Chen Xingtong.

"dad?"

The door to the room was slightly ajar, and the woman leaned against the doorway, staring intently at him: "Who are you talking to?"

"Ah, discussing some official business with the cadres."

A strange light flashed in Qi Tongli's eyes, and he coughed lightly to cover it up.

"Dad seems a little unhappy. Is something bothering him?"

She seemed very patient, gently approaching and asking in a soft voice.

Qi Tongli felt inexplicably irritated.

"It's nothing particularly important. Tonight is your big day. We still need to prepare lunch later, so don't take up too much of your time."

He had already told Qi Tongshan that he needed to have lunch with Chi Xingluan.

"Yes," the woman replied crisply, then asked, "Is Dad coming along?"

“Yes,” the man replied.

Qi Tongli felt slightly uncomfortable. He had just finished arguing with the brat, and now another "daughter" had appeared. He couldn't lash out, so he could only blame his four personal guards.

"Where are Mori Ranmaru and the others? They didn't even announce your arrival." He glanced at the doorway.

Of his four bodyguards, two were responsible for monitoring Qi Tongshan, and the other two were responsible for his personal safety. They were all soldiers with strong will and high execution ability. They had been with him since he served in the military in his early years, and he knew their character and all aspects well.

There's no reason for something to go wrong at this time.

"Don't blame them, the uncles did their job very well. If anyone's to blame, blame Dad for arguing too much with the imposter."

Before him stood a woman who looked exactly like Qi Tongshan, her hands clasped behind her back, revealing an innocent-looking face.

"There's no need to get so worked up over a fake."

Qi Tongli's gaze narrowed slightly. He realized something, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart. His face showed disbelief.

A faint smell of blood drifted in from outside the door. As an Otherworlder, he was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, and he could immediately tell that the four guards had probably met with misfortune.

"you--"

"You killed them?" Qi Tongli's eyes were serious as he subtly reached into his pocket.

"No, they killed each other."

Qi Tongshan's voice was sweet and soft, and her eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled.

Killed...the other party...

Qi Tongli's brain suddenly went blank for a moment.

In an instant, a misty scene flashed through my mind.

In the scene, the woman stretches out her hand and twists her daughter's neck tightly; while the young daughter, with veins bulging and sharp teeth bared, tears a piece of flesh from the woman's hand.

That was a scene that shook Qi Tongli to his core several years ago after he returned home.

His own wife and daughter were killing each other.

The accompanying butler immediately tried to stop them, but the wife was human and the daughter was a White Walker.

The wife was bitten by her daughter and instantly transformed, losing her humanity and becoming a wild, disheveled beast; while the daughter also went mad and tried to tear her apart, her ferocious appearance completely devoid of reason, like a demon that had escaped from hell.

……

Bloodstained memories flooded his mind, shattering Qi Tongli's last shred of reason.

His voice suddenly rose several octaves, and he pointed at Qi Tongshan, shouting:

"It's you! It's you!"

The woman smiled broadly: "Dad, have you finally realized it was me?"

Her smile vanished abruptly, replaced by a chilling glint in her eyes:
"You never would have guessed, right? My dad didn't kill me back then, so I crawled back from hell."

……

Time flies when the waiters are busy.

Twelve o'clock arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Ding."

The elevator doors opened.

A private elevator leads directly to the inner hall, where the hotel's owner, Akahoshi Raku, and the governor of Sakakyo, Akahoshi Akira, appear.

The waiters were secretly observing the father and son.

Chi Xingluan wore a black linen shirt with soft fabrics of silk and cashmere, layered under a white undershirt. His expression was neither sad nor happy, revealing the true nature of a powerful figure who dominated both the business and political worlds.

The man's composure seemed ingrained in his bones; even a suit and tie couldn't hide his sinister aura.

His father, Akira Akahoshi, was dressed in traditional Japanese attire for formal occasions.

The black-patterned kimono, resembling a dark vest, made the wearer appear dignified and somber, retaining the heroic spirit of a samurai from three hundred years ago, as if ready to draw a sword from his waist at any moment.

Despite being a wedding celebration, it resembled a menacing samurai sword.

An odd father-son combination.

The two were dressed separately, and if one had to point out a difference, it would be a clash between classic and trendy.

The people below whispered among themselves.

Next came the other elegantly dressed attendants, their faces as still as water, their every move exuding a chilling aura.

Target locked.

In Jin Ziyue's eyes, thanks to Kou Lin's "Unobstructed View" which provides "shared vision," Kou Lin can clearly sense Jin Ziyue's field of vision.

In addition, Jin Ziyue has excellent eyesight and can keenly perceive the other party's every move.

Meanwhile, Kou Lin, two kilometers away, had already set up his sniper rifle, loaded the bullet, and corrected its trajectory using the "view sharing" feature.

He moved closer to the scope, and in one eye, he saw the swaying seawater.
