Rules of the Unusual: My Yandere Husband Pretends to Be Innocent Online
Chapter 71 Going to the Kitchen
"What's wrong?"
Xia Xiaoqin silently took a step back, wanting to keep her distance from the boy, but Qin Bufei naturally reached out and grabbed her shoulder.
"Sister, what's wrong? You look a little strange... Are you feeling unwell?"
"No..."
Xia Xiaoqin waved her hands repeatedly and pressed the button for the second floor of the elevator to indicate that she was fine.
The elevator only displays the 1st, 2nd, and 4th floors; the 3rd floor is not displayed.
As the elevator dinged and arrived at the second floor, Xia Xiaoqin was stunned the moment she stepped out.
Under the scarlet lights, the second floor was packed with people in the early hours of the morning, with almost no room to put your feet down.
And in this crowded area, the aroma of food permeates the air.
"Judging from the names alone, these foods all seem pretty normal?"
Qin Bufei stood on tiptoe and looked around, scanning the names of one shop after another.
— "Braised Lamb Trotters in Soy Sauce", "Braised Beef Rice Bowl", "Spicy Shredded Pork"
However, despite the crowds at these shops, not many customers actually make any purchases.
Because of the menacing appearance of the diners, everyone was eagerly waiting at the "Delicious Rabbit Meat Shop" in the very center.
The long queues stretched out like a snake to the entrances of other shops, circling around and around.
"Rabbit meat! I came all this way just to eat this one bite of rabbit meat!"
"Incredible! How is this rabbit meat prepared?"
Xia Xiaoqin struggled to find a place to stand and silently pressed herself against the wall.
The huge second floor was covered with all sorts of banners and posters, but none of them were about rabbit meat.
—Leading sales! Rabbit meat sales hit a new record!
—Delivery service is now available! Delicious rabbit meat, tasty rabbit meat, let the cute little rabbit come to your home to soothe your heart and belly!
A huge shopping mall, the first floor is a department store selling human bodies, the second floor is a cafeteria, and the third floor is a hospital ward...
"Qin Bufei, do you remember the patient we saw on the third floor, the one covered in black tentacles?"
Xia Xiaoqin lowered her voice and looked around the second floor expressionlessly.
"Think about it carefully, don't you think the texture of rabbit meat is quite similar to the feel of those tentacles?"
Qin Bufei rubbed his chin and tilted his head.
"Hmm, does it look like it? I've never eaten rabbit meat before, so I don't know."
After saying that, Qin Bufei suddenly thought of something, winked at Xia Xiaoqin, and looked meaningfully toward the kitchen of the "Delicious" rabbit meat shop.
"Should we sneak into the kitchen and take a closer look?"
Xia Xiaoqin didn't speak, but simply took out the universal magnetic card that the woman in red had given her earlier from her pocket.
The universal magnetic card gleamed with an unknown light under the red lights on the second floor.
If this card works properly, then from now on, I can move freely on the second floor.
Just as Xia Xiaoqin was thinking of taking the opportunity to thoroughly investigate the rabbit meat shop, she suddenly noticed something was wrong with the magnetic card.
It looks like something is written on this card with special paint.
Qin Bufei also curiously peeked over. When he saw that there seemed to be writing on the magnetic card in Xia Xiaoqin's hand, he immediately narrowed his eyes, slightly covered his hand, and half-concealed the magnetic card.
In the dim light, a line of small print appeared on the magnetic card.
"Mommy Rabbit's Magnetic Card"
[Congratulations! You have discovered an important clue, "Mother Rabbit's Magnetic Card." The main storyline of the dungeon has been unlocked, and your dungeon progress has increased by 25%!]
Suddenly a white light flashed, and a new notification appeared before their eyes at the same time.
[Main Storyline: The Secret of Rabbit Meat]
[Side Quest Introduction: Have you ever heard a rabbit groan? What exactly does a rabbit sound like?]
[Task 1: Find out what rabbit meat is (Clue: 1/4)]
[Task 2: Find out where the rabbit is (Clue: 0/4)]
Current dungeon progress: 25/100%
[Friendly Reminder: If the dungeon progress is less than 100% by the end of the dungeon, the player will instantly die.]
The main storyline of the dungeon has started again, and it's two people doing it at the same time!
Xia Xiaoqin stared expressionlessly at the magnetic card in her hand, tightening her grip on it until the veins on the back of her hand stood out.
—The clues to hidden side quests in dungeons are always fixed.
Once the main storyline begins, you must collect all the clues in the dungeons and push the hidden progress to 100%.
Otherwise, even if the dungeon is successfully completed, players will suffer a backlash from the clues and die inexplicably in the dungeon.
"Damn it, looks like I have to go investigate!"
Xia Xiaoqin could only discuss with Qin Bufei how to sneak into the rabbit shop and carefully observe the secrets of rabbit meat.
The rabbit shop right now is the best place to find clues about rabbits.
"With so many people and everyone so busy, if I sneak into the kitchen, I probably won't be noticed, right?"
Qin Bufei pointed to the kitchen, where only a curtain was hanging to block the view, and whispered.
The "Delicious Rabbit Meat Restaurant" in front of us is quite large, with more than 20 tables and chairs. The waiters come in one after another from the kitchen to serve tea and food.
"No, there are too many people. We don't know the layout of the kitchen, and if there really is something in the kitchen, it should be very secure. It's impossible for so many waiters to walk in and serve dishes so openly."
Xia Xiaoqin frowned slightly.
"I think there should be a place in the kitchen where the raw materials, such as the rabbit, are stored, and it should be quite hidden."
"We'd better make the store lively enough to attract even the chefs in the kitchen."
No sooner had Xia Xiaoqin finished speaking than Qin Bufei chuckled.
"Sister, you want some excitement? Then you've come to the right place. After all, when it comes to causing trouble, no one can beat me."
"Wait, what are you planning to do?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Xiaoqin saw Qin Bufei squeeze into the crowd and disappear.
Just as Xia Xiaoqin was pondering what method the boy would use, she heard a roar, and then the scene spiraled out of control.
"Humans! I smell humans!"
Pairs of eyes scanned the air menacingly, their noses constantly twitching and sniffing the air.
"It smells so good, it's the smell of humans! Where are the humans?"
Xia Xiaoqin frowned and retreated without leaving a trace.
Just then, in the center of the crowd, he suddenly saw Qin Bufei, who remained motionless.
The boy noticed Xia Xiaoqin looking at him, so he smiled at her.
pat!
Qin Bufei took off his convenience store uniform and threw it on the ground.
[Player - Qin Bufei]
[Identity: None (Convenience store employee status has been cancelled)]
In an instant, the crowd became completely agitated. Almost all the evil ghost diners were drooling and staring at Qin Bufei with bloodshot eyes.
"Humans! It really is a human!"
"Eat him quickly! Let me have a taste!"
"Get out of the way! I saw him first!"
The demons' sticky saliva dripped all over the ground, and their teeth made a constant grinding sound.
Xia Xiaoqin then realized just how important the identity associated with her uniform was.
Uniforms can conceal their human identity.
This is why other evil spirits, without rules to restrain them, did not covet their flesh and blood, but instead treated them as their own kind.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive my bluntness, but I really don't have enough meat to go around."
Under the blood-red lights, Qin Bufei smiled politely and gracefully, as if performing on a stage, and bowed to the drooling demons who were drooling over him.
"So, to be fair, why don't we let the gentleman who first discovered me eat me?"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards one of the evil spirits in front of him.
"Get out of my way! What do you think you're doing? This human is mine!"
The evil spirit that was about to catch Qin Bufei's palm was suddenly pulled back by the evil spirit beside it. In the instant they glared at each other, a roar erupted, and both of them opened their blood-red mouths with bloodshot eyes, tearing at each other's lifelines.
The entire entrance to the store instantly turned into a giant fighting arena, with all the diners becoming enraged over the smallest things, pulling at nearby people and engaging in a brawl.
"What's wrong! What's wrong?"
The waiter at the rabbit meat shop stared wide-eyed at the bloody and horrific scene before him, then yelled for the chefs in the kitchen to come out quickly, as everything was in complete chaos.
"Qin Bufei..."
Seeing Qin Bufei surrounded and in the ensuing chaos, Xia Xiaoqin frowned and prepared to approach the boy. But then, she saw Qin Bufei smile and mouth the words to her.
"Go to the kitchen."
At this moment, the chefs in the kitchen all ran out with the waiters to break up the fight and maintain order, which was indeed the best opportunity.
After a moment's thought, Xia Xiaoqin concealed herself and took advantage of the chaos to walk into the back kitchen of the "rabbit meat shop".
Unlike the fragrant aroma outside the store, Xia Xiaoqin smelled a pungent stench as soon as she entered the kitchen.
This stench, which is so overwhelming that it can't be blocked even when you try to block your nose, is like being plunged into a stinking ditch in the middle of summer, struggling helplessly amidst the rotting carcasses of rats.
Xia Xiaoqin frowned, bent down and walked along the corner towards the source of the stench.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
At this moment, only one chef remained in the kitchen, holding a cleaver and chopping something in front of the cutting board.
As Xia Xiaoqin followed the stench and got closer to the chef, the pungent smell became increasingly overpowering.
—It came from the cutting board.
Xia Xiaoqin raised her head and saw red flesh and blood on the cutting board, slightly larger than a baby's arm.
The creamy, crimson flesh throbbed eerily on the cutting board like a heart.
As the chef chopped the meat in half and placed it in a pan to fry, the enticing aroma of meat instantly filled the entire kitchen.
The familiar fragrance made Xia Xiaoqin swallow hard and frown slightly.
This is the unique aroma of rabbit meat.
The chef in front of her was focused on the food in the wok. After he finished cooking, he slowly walked towards the cashier window, not noticing Xia Xiaoqin.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Xiaoqin looked around and then made a quick move to the very back.
[Entry prohibited for non-special personnel]
The small door at the very back is the only door in the kitchen.
