Chapter 57 Catfish Boss Hot Pot Restaurant (5)

Total cost of the dishes: 198 yuan

Internal organ weight conversion: Settlement complete

The next second, the man's body was dragged into the gap in the shadows and thrown out of the store like a rag doll.

But everyone saw:
He was incomplete when he passed away.

Without a complete abdominal structure,
He is still alive, but that's not what it means to be alive.

Those are called the last few seconds of breathing before death.

"Ugh..." A young woman felt like vomiting and covered her mouth tightly.

The next table also submitted their bill.

This time, it was a couple.

The girl cried and tried to stop him, but the boy had already clicked "confirm".

"Sorry…"

The shadowy waiter approached their table, his long black knife flashing down like flowing water.

"Click."

The girl's arm fell to the ground, and she screamed.

The boy had one leg cut off, and they paid the bill together.

Total cost of the dishes: 136 yuan

Limb conversion: Settlement completed

She nearly fainted, but was still dragged out of the gap.

An Jing sat there, staring intently at the table in front of her.

Here's the deal.

Pay the price with your body, pay with your life.

The higher the price, the greater the loss.

Those who pay their bills will be released from this eerie restaurant, but whether they will survive is anyone's guess.

What's even more terrifying is that they didn't die.

They live, are packaged up, thrown out, and return to reality with broken bodies.

Inside the shop, no one dared to make a sound.

Everyone realized: paying the bill was not a way out, but one of the ways to die.

“So,” Xu Xiaoyi’s voice trembled as she looked at An Jing, “we can’t pay the bill.”

An Jing nodded: "Yes. Under no circumstances should we order to pay."

No one knows where they will be taken away from.

"Then what do we do?" Bai Tianjiao asked weakly, looking up.

"Hang in there," An Jing said softly. "Let's get through this round first, then find a way out. The logic of this game is a closed loop; we need to find a way out and break it."

She pointed to the countdown timer on the menu:
00:21…00:20…

The menus were taken away one by one.

The next round of dining is about to begin.

Just then, that familiar deep voice rang out again from the corner.

"Dear guests, this round of ordering is complete. Congratulations, you are now qualified to continue enjoying this delicious meal."

"But please note."

"New rules have been added to this round of dining."

Please finish eating within fifteen minutes.

"If the process is not completed within the time limit, the forced feeding process will be automatically initiated."

As soon as he finished speaking, the large clock on the wall suddenly clicked.

15:00…14:59…14:58…

The hot pot boiled again.

The dishes were served at this point.

This time, however, the pot contained not only food, but also time, rules, and fear.

And the scent of death.

The hot pot is boiling, and the red oil is bubbling.

Shao Ling was the first to react, her face deathly pale as she covered her mouth and took a half step back: "This...this is really...a person?"

Which three meat dishes, clearly...

Her voice was trembling; she was on the verge of collapse.

Xu Xiaoyi's eyes were red, and she looked like a child on the verge of collapse: "I really can't do it, I can't accept it."

Who would dare eat this?!
14:05
Time keeps moving forward.

An Jing remained unmoved, calmly reaching out to throw all the vegetables into the hot pot to cook.

"Are you crazy?! Are we really going to eat this?" Shao Ling looked at her in horror.
Bai Tianjiao trembled as she leaned against the chair, unable to look directly at the pot.

"There was no choice."

An Jing looked at her calmly.

Just then, he slightly raised his hand and slowly drew out a black card.

The card bore the words "Shadow Doctor" in the center. Amidst the swirling black mist, a figure materialized in the air.

It was a tall figure wearing a doctor's robe, with long black hair, holding a scalpel, surrounded by a thick, inky mist.

He looked at the hot pot in front of him, then at An Jing, as if puzzled and confused.

Didn't we say he wasn't allowed to come out?
And all her friends were there.

An Jing said calmly:
"Sit down, let me treat you to hot pot."

The doctor tilted his head; he didn't need to eat now.

But the aroma of hot pot kept wafting over, so he sat down anyway.

At that moment, the shadowy waiter suddenly appeared at the table, still holding the long knife in his hand, his black aura churning, like a vengeful ghost staring at him.

The hearts of the four people suddenly stopped beating.

But An Jing slowly raised her head, her tone indifferent and calm:

"The rules don't say that we can't invite friends to eat together, right?"

The air suddenly became stiff and cold, as if it had frozen for several seconds.

The shadowy waiter didn't respond, but just stared intently at the doctor, as if confirming something.

One second, two seconds.

Finally, it slowly retreated and disappeared into the black mist.

Yes, there is no such rule.

The three of them almost forgot to breathe.

Then, looking at the suddenly appearing doctor, and then at An Jing, his eyes were filled with great confusion.

What's going on?
The doctor in the film seemed unconcerned, and simply picked up his long chopsticks.

His face showed no emotion.
Xu Xiaoyi was dumbfounded: "Who is he? Why... and why did he suddenly appear?"

An Jing said softly:
"He is not human. He is a mystery."

"???"

She was met with three puzzled looks.

Do you dare say that again?!

"To the supernatural, humans are nothing more than food. Have you ever seen a cow refuse to eat grass?"

The doctor in the video is eating: ?
Is this example inappropriate?

Shao Ling was a little confused and couldn't help but ask, "No, the point is, why do you know about the Mysterious One? No, why can you just pull out a Mysterious One so easily?"

"Remember what I said? I've been through two mysterious magnetic fields. If I didn't have something, how could I have come out alive?"

"...That makes sense, but it's still hard to accept."

Xu Xiaoyi seemed to be deep in thought, then suddenly remembered something, looked at An Jing, and her face was full of excitement.

"I know, I know, you're the one! The one my brother was talking about!"

But Xu Xiaoyi immediately held back, her eyes sparkling as she looked at An Jing.

Her brother said he almost died.

But he was saved by a girl.

A very unique girl.

She was specifically instructed not to tell anyone about this.

Her brother is a chatterbox; he can't hold back his feelings and has to confide in someone he trusts.

Xu Xiaoyi recalled that An Jing's expression was off when she mentioned 003.

So you knew each other!
An Jing, however, had no intention of hiding anything.

What's the point of hiding something when you're about to lose your life?

Xu Xiaoyi's reaction made Shao Ling and Bai Tianjiao even more curious, but they couldn't bring themselves to ask in this situation.

The doctor was focused on eating when An Jing smiled and spoke.

"This is all the salary you get."

The doctor in the video immediately stopped.

"Just one meal?"

"Of course not, you can eat as much as you want."

"you said."

The doctor was somewhat uncertain.

An Jing smiled slyly.

"I said, eat as much as you want."

"Row."

The doctor was quite satisfied with the hot pot meal.

It tastes good, and there's no limit to the amount you can eat.

An Jing could sense that the other cards were protesting at this moment.

The protesters questioned why only film doctors received salaries when everyone else was just an employee.

Is it only five-star cards that qualify?
An Jing felt a little embarrassed; these cards were making her head spin.
