Demon Suppression Division: Starting as a Jailer in the Cycle of Reincarnation to Become a Martial G

"It's the dining hall!"

Looking at the familiar dining hall, Stone Brother beside Wu Dameng couldn't help but speak up.

"I know."

Liu Dashan and Su Wu exchanged a glance, then Liu Dashan waved to the crowd.

"Let's go take a look now!"

In Su Wu and Liu Dashan's minds, Wu Dameng and the others' unusual behavior was inextricably linked to the vegetarian meal they had during the day.

The most likely culprit to manipulate this is the vegetarian hall!

Led by Liu Dashan, the group quickly approached the dining hall.

As they approached the dining hall, everyone was taken aback.

Because the dining hall in sight no longer resembles the thriving scene it had during the day.

At this moment, the dining hall appeared very old and dilapidated to everyone.

Even the door plaque was covered with a thick layer of cobwebs.

"Wait, why is this dining hall designed like this?"

Looking at the desolate and old dining hall in their field of vision, Wu Dameng and even Wu Er both showed disbelief in their eyes.

"When we came during the day, it was bright and clean, so how come it seems to have aged so much in an instant?"

"What kind of magic trick is this?"

Faced with everyone's questions, Liu Dashan, standing next to Su Wu, narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Perhaps it's not that Zhaizhang is old."

"We were just seeing things."

"But..." the Stone Brothers hesitated before speaking.

"But we clearly ate during the day. Even if the visual effects are faked, the feeling of fullness doesn't lie!"

"Whether it's true or false, we'll find out soon enough!" Faced with the hesitation and doubt in Wu Dameng's eyes, Liu Dashan kicked open the door of the dining hall in front of him and walked in.

Seeing this, the people behind them quickly followed.

After experiencing so many unusual events, when they were admitted to the hospital, they all instinctively reached for the swords at their waists.

Soon, everyone entered the dining hall.

In the field of vision, the table and chairs where the group had been eating were still there, but the table was covered in dust, and the spot where the group had been standing had been rubbed clean by their clothes.

Seeing this, the gazes of the group all darkened, and they subconsciously looked down at their elbows.

Sure enough, under the moonlight, there were traces of supplies on everyone's elbows and sleeves.

On the side, where food was originally served to everyone, a stack of bowls and chopsticks were casually placed aside, and a pot of something seemed to be boiling and making bubbling sounds.

"Um?"

Seeing that the fire under the pot of food hadn't even started, Wu Dameng couldn't help but frown.

"How can it boil without a flame?"

He quickly stepped forward and peered into the pot.

The next second, Wu Dameng froze on the spot, her face turning deathly pale.

Then, he opened his mouth and vomited to the side.

"Huh? What did Captain Wu see?" Seeing Wu Dameng's behavior, the Stone Brothers, Liu Dashan, and Su Wu quickly followed.

Then they could see clearly what was boiling and churning in the pot.

Then, everyone's pupils suddenly contracted.

What's boiling in the pot? It's just bubbling!

The pot was now covered in a sticky slime, and tapeworm-like creatures, about the size of noodles, were writhing inside!

That gurgling sound is from these insects blowing bubbles in their slime!

"These...couldn't be the noodles we ate earlier?"

Seeing this scene, even Wu Er felt like his brain was about to explode, and he quickly overturned the bowl next to him!

Sure enough, the old bowls were covered with a thick layer of sticky mucus!

In one of the bowls, there was even half a noodle worm that hadn't been eaten yet, still wriggling and rolling around.

"vomit!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Er and the Stone Brothers beside him immediately started gagging.

Su Wu and Liu Dashan's mouths twitched, secretly relieved that they hadn't eaten those things.

"I never imagined that Lanyin Temple would be so bizarre, using such disgusting things to harm people."

At this moment, Su Wu and Liu Dashan became even more certain of the abnormality of Lanyin Temple.

"It seems that Brother Wu and the others being controlled is largely related to this noodle worm!"

Just then, a strange gust of wind swept through the hall, making everyone shiver and unable to help but shudder.

Suddenly, the sound of the door being opened came from outside the dining hall.

Then, a familiar voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Distinguished guests, what brings you to our dining hall so late at night?"

"Could it be that they're hungry?"

Upon hearing this, the group quickly turned around and looked towards the moonlight.

In their field of vision, a smiling young novice monk stood at the doorway, looking at the crowd in front of him with some curiosity.

The candlelight cast a soft glow on the young novice's face, giving it a faintly divine quality.

"No, candlelight?"

Everyone quickly looked around.

All I could see was that candles had been lit in the dining hall at some point, and the room was clean and tidy. There was no trace of the dilapidated and old feeling from before.

Su Wu and the others immediately and instinctively looked towards the pot beside them.

Inside the large pot, noodles were cooking. The white noodles tumbled in the boiling water, steaming and emitting a mouthwatering aroma.

However, having witnessed that disgusting scene, no one could muster any appetite at all.

"What's going on?"

Looking at the boiling noodles in the pot and the bright candlelight around them, Wu Dameng and Wu Er couldn't help but frown slightly.

"You mean these noodles?"

Seeing the puzzled looks in Su Wu and the others' eyes, the little novice monk suddenly realized what was going on.

"So, you distinguished guests were hungry last night and were attracted by this aroma."

"These noodles were specially cooked by our Bodhisattva Xiangji to express his gratitude to the monks who work the night shift."

"The Bodhisattva of Incense Accumulation?" Upon hearing this, Su Wu couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.

Liu Dashan, who was standing nearby, quickly explained.

"The so-called 'Xiangji Bodhisattva' refers to the kitchen staff in a temple. It is an honorific title given by monks to the monks or volunteers who work in the kitchen, and they are not actual bodhisattvas."

Upon hearing this, Su Wu's eyes lit up with realization.

As he spoke, the young novice monk smiled and approached the group.

"Our distinguished guests have come to our dining hall so late at night; are you hungry again?"

"The Kitchen God went out a bit short on ingredients. Should I call him back to serve you noodles?"

Upon hearing this, the horrifying scene of seeing the noodle worm earlier flashed through everyone's minds, and they hurriedly waved their hands at the young novice.

"No, no, no! Junior Master, please decline."

"Exempt?" Upon hearing this, the young novice narrowed his eyes slightly and walked towards the crowd step by step, his tone and expression gradually turning cold.

"Then what brings you to my dining hall?"
