Chapter 83 Cafeteria

After leaving the inner realm of the Demon-Summoning Banner, Du Wang did not rush to sleep.

He got up, changed into a black shirt, and picked up a long, hardwood spear from the study.

This was a gift from his parents when he was a child learning martial arts. Since he fell ill, the spear has been stored in a corner of the house, never seeing the light of day.

Until today, I have been promoted to rank 2.

This gun has finally seen the light of day again.

A gentleman takes revenge in no time!

Du Wang stepped out of his house and glanced at the location on the map; it was about a 40-minute drive away.

He walked quickly along the shadows cast by the trees on the street, crossing three blocks before hailing a taxi.

"Where to?" The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed that the person who got in was a chubby young man with a square face.

"Go to Jinyang Road."

"it is good."

Jinyang Nursing Home is located on the edge of Gongsheng District. It is a relatively dilapidated independent three-story building.

Qiu Qin stood outside the door and looked back at her two companions.

"Wang Bo, the sheep demon is here, right?" She was about 19 years old, with short hair and bangs, a slightly round face, and glasses. She looked like a typical model student in class.

"That's right." Standing behind her was an ordinary-looking boy, about the same age as her, with messy hair and a nervous expression.

"I don't know where it's hidden. I hope it's not too hard to find, otherwise our three thousand yuan will be wasted." Qiu Qin pouted, her face full of heartache.

Wang Bo shook his head repeatedly, his face full of eagerness: "No, the seller explained it in great detail, we'll definitely find it."

"That's good."

"So how do we get in? Barge in? Won't the police find us?"

A third companion interrupted their conversation.

She was very thin, 170 cm tall, but weighed only about 90 catties. Her long hair was dyed orange, and she wore a JK (high school girl) outfit, looking just like the anime girls commonly seen at comic conventions.

Qiu Qin said confidently, "I'll open the door. You just need to avoid the security cameras."

The JK girl looked up and scanned the room; the security camera at the door was flashing red.

"Why don't you go in and turn off the power first?"

"The power switch—" Qiu Qin scratched her head. "I don't know where the power switch is."

Wang Bo raised his hand: "I know, usually the power switch for this type of building is on the wall on the first floor."

Qiu Qin nodded: "Okay, then I'll be in charge of going in and turning off the power, then Wang Bo will be in charge of opening the door, and Qiao Yi will be in charge of getting everyone to sleep."

"No problem," the other two agreed.

The three of them were not temporary teammates who met online, but rather they met by chance at the same university.

Therefore, everyone still trusts each other quite a bit.

After finalizing the plan, Qiu Qin hugged her arms and squatted down, curling into a ball.

Like a watermelon, he suddenly disappeared into the ground and vanished at the doorway.

Qiao Yi's eyes flashed with envy: "I wish I had that ability too."

"You're very capable too," Wang Bo said, scratching his head with an honest expression. "It's just that my abilities are the most ordinary."

"Hmph, what's the use of being strong? It's too ugly."

Qiao Yi turned around awkwardly, seemingly particularly dissatisfied with her natal spirit.

A short while later, the two saw the streetlights next to the gate go out.

"Qiu Qin has succeeded, let's make our move," Qiao Yi urged.

Wang Bo stepped forward, took a deep breath, and his already bulky body immediately swelled up, like a war chariot.

He gripped the iron gate and strained, his neck turning bright red instantly. Although it was a bit difficult, it took him more than ten seconds to finally bend the two iron bars, creating a gap big enough for him to squeeze through.

Afterwards, Wang Bo regained his composure and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Alright, Qiao Yi, let's go."

Qiao Yi was the first to crawl through the iron fence and look at the pitch-black three-story building.

This small building was built in the 90s. The exterior is covered with white tiles, and the window frames are all made of old-fashioned, greenish glass.

Some windows were sealed with newspapers, and no one knew what unspeakable things were hidden inside.

When the two arrived at the door, Qiu Qin emerged from the ground, covered in dust and dirt.

"Quickly wipe it off." Wang Bo eagerly handed over the wet wipes he had prepared.

Qiu Qin took it and, while wiping her face, asked, "What did the seller say?"

"The seller said the sheep demon is in the kitchen on the first floor." Wang Bo stood on tiptoe and looked through the glass door.

The corridor was pitch black at its deepest point, like a gaping maw that devoured all light.

"Let's go straight in through the main entrance; there should be a layout map inside," Qiu Qin suggested.

Qiao Yi stepped forward, opened the glass door, and went in first.

The other two quickly followed.

"Tap, tap, tap." Footsteps echoed in the corridor.

It was deathly silent here. You could not hear the old man coughing in the middle of the night, nor the panicked cries and inquiries about the power outage.

It's like a nursing home that's completely empty.

"Wang Bo, are there really any elderly people here? I can't hear any sounds." Faced with the darkness, Qiu Qin was still a little scared and subconsciously hugged her arms.

Wang Bo was also a little scared: "Yes, when I came this morning, I saw many old men and women sunbathing. It's just that—"

"What is it—" Qiao Yi asked.

"They seemed quite silent, not saying a word, just staring blankly outside."

"Don't scare me!" Qiu Qin slapped Wang Bo's arm.

Wang Bo touched his arm, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Qiu Qin has always been prone to daydreaming, and upon hearing Wang Bo's description, she immediately envisioned the corresponding scene in her mind.

A group of thin, elderly people sat quietly in the courtyard, neither talking nor exercising, just staring intently out the window.

hiss!

Qiu Qin shook her head, trying to shake the images out of her mind.

"Tap, tap, tap." The group stopped walking. They had crossed the corridor and arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

The lobby is decorated in a retro style, with brown marble floors and bright red hanging ribbons, giving you a feeling of stepping back into the 90s.

The illusion of steel mills from that era.

On the wall next to the stairs, there is a row of gold-plated characters that are missing radicals.

"After I retire, I owe you."

Qiao Yi pouted, "This nursing home looks really poor; almost all the words have fallen off."

Qiu Qin shrugged: "When I get old, I don't want to live in a nursing home."

Wang Bo chimed in, "Where would you like to stay? We can stay together and look out for each other."

Qiao Yi chuckled and said, "Retirement? Let's think about how to live to level 2 first."

Qiu Qin's eyes immediately dimmed. If she hadn't accidentally wandered into the melon field, she wouldn't have been in danger, much less had she taken the initiative to deal with the demons.

Wang Bo comforted him, "There's always a way. Once we get rid of this sheep demon, we'll have gained more than half of our experience."

"So where's the kitchen?" Qiao Yi asked.

"Oh, this way." Wang Bo pointed to the left, and the three of them could vaguely see a closed wooden door with the words "Canteen" hanging on it.

I'll walk in front.

Wang Bo volunteered to stand in front of the two girls and approached the cafeteria door step by step.

Quiet.

Unexpectedly quiet.

No one has investigated the power outage so far.

Wang Bo strained his ears to listen, but all he heard was a series of rhythmic breathing sounds.

"Strange, is someone sleeping in the cafeteria?"

"Or is the sheep demon inside?"

He looked at the doorknob and swallowed hard.

Turning his head, Wang Bo met the gazes of the two girls, his expression questioning.

Qiao Yi and Qiu Qin nodded, their faces serious.

He could only gently grasp the doorknob and turn it to push it open.

"Squeak—crunch—"

The old wooden door made a noisy noise, which made Wang Bo a little afraid of disturbing the sleeping caregiver inside.

However, his fears did not come true; his breathing remained steady.

The cafeteria was much darker than I had imagined.

It was even darker than the corridor.

Because the windows here were completely sealed with newspapers, no moonlight could be seen.

"Go in quickly."

He pursed his lips, mustered his courage, and stepped directly into the cafeteria.

Two girls followed them in.

But when their eyes adjusted to the darkness and they saw the scene in the cafeteria one after another, their hair stood on end and their faces turned ashen.

In the darkness, dozens of elderly people and caregivers sat in a row around the dining table, their faces bearing eerie smiles, staring intently at them.

"what!"
