The underwater restaurant at dusk is completely silent at night.

Inside a cylindrical underwater world enclosed by glass, a five-meter-tall crab is crawling on the glass seabed at the base of the column, and the forest below can be clearly seen through the glass.

【Human Crab】With its eyes tightly closed, its bluish-gray abdomen rhythmically contracts with its breathing, while its four crab legs on one side curl up under its body, steadily supporting its massive form.

On the other side, only two broken crab legs remained, with traces of dark brown blood still seeping from the broken wounds, slowly diffusing in the seawater and carrying a pungent fishy smell.

In the center of its hard, bluish-gray carapace, a menacing crack appeared. Strangely, a slender willow tree grew from within the crack, its branches drooping and twining around the carapace.

If someone were to approach at this moment, they would be able to see through the gap that it was densely packed with pale human heads, with the roots of the willow tree piercing deep into the skulls like venomous snakes, and countless mournful wails and desperate screams drifting out from the gap.

Suddenly, a ripple spread across the tranquil seabed. The [Human-Crab] slowly opened its eyes, silently gazing at the empty waters before it, and opened its mouth to ask:

"Boy, what do you want with me?"

"I'm here to cooperate with you." As soon as he finished speaking, a crystal bubble suddenly appeared in the sea in front of him. Xu Yuanmo's figure appeared in the bubble, looking calmly at the giant crab below.

"I have no interest in cooperating with humans. You..." Before [Human Crab A] could finish speaking, it impatiently raised one of its thick crab legs and stabbed it hard at the bubble. A glint of greed flashed in its eyes; human souls were excellent nourishment.

But the next second, its crab legs seemed to poke at cotton, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not move forward an inch, and the bubbles remained intact.

Xu Yuanmo looked at it with a half-smile. The [Human-A Willow Crab] calmly retracted its crab legs, finally looking Xu Yuanmo directly in the eye, and asked curiously:

"What do you want to collaborate with me on?"

"Do you want to devour Him?" Xu Yuanmo pointed upwards, and the [Human-Armor Willow Crab] instantly understood his meaning. It suddenly stood up in the seawater, its massive body stirring up the seawater violently, and more dark brown blood gushed out from the wounds on its mutilated crab legs.

"Just you and me?" After the initial excitement, [Human A Liu Xie] quickly calmed down, his tone tinged with apprehension.

"If He were at His peak, the two of us combined wouldn't even be enough to fill His teeth, but you know, He is now divided in two and His power has greatly diminished."

"Not enough, I..." It had only helped one half and the other half, and it ended up like this. It still felt lingering fear when it recalled the battle.

"I knew it wasn't enough, so I brought it." Xu Yuanmo drew a card, [Human Axe Crab]. After seeing its effect, he remained silent for a while, then made up his mind:

"Okay, I agree to cooperate with you."

"The explosion tomorrow will be the signal." With that, Xu Yuanmo left the seabed, satisfied. [Human-Crab] watched his disappearing figure, slowly crouched down, closed its eyes, and continued sleeping.

"Humans are untrustworthy, and I, too, have no credibility."

Two hours later, in the kitchen cooking area.

"Bang!" [Human A Liu Crab] opened his eyes and grumbled in annoyance:

"After midnight it's tomorrow, right? It's only 3 a.m. now, are you even letting the crabs get some sleep?"

Despite its words, it still swayed as it stood up and slowly swam upwards.

"Larson, hand over the 'Last Meal,' or none of us will leave this house today." Cassian and Yuri blocked the only exit from the cooking area, confronting Chef Larson and his men.

Larson's meticulous attire now appeared extremely disheveled, and his gloomy eyes were fixed on the flames burning in Cassian's hand.

"How dare you betray the restaurant!!"

"Larson, we all know that the ingredients for the Last Meal were brought by Him, not the kind of trashy ingredients we use for small-scale production. The Last Meal can help us evolve into a supreme being like Him."

Larson took off his glasses, which were slightly damaged by the explosion, and said, word by word:

"I won't allow anyone to betray the restaurant, so you might as well all die."

As he finished speaking, his suit ripped apart inch by inch, revealing his muscular upper body. The eyes on his octopus tentacles darted around, locked onto Cassian and Yuri.

Cassian and his companion remained calm, but as the battle intensified, Yuri coldly shouted:

"Let's do it."

Just then, a cold light flashed!

"Pfft—" A small kitchen knife precisely pierced Chef Larson's heart, and dark red blood gushed out instantly. Standing beside Larson, Sawyer's pupils constricted, staring incredulously at the knife's owner, stammering, "You...you..."

"Pastry Chef Summers, even you have betrayed the restaurant!" Larson whirled around, staring in disbelief at Summers behind him. A sharp pain shot through his broken heart, causing him to tremble uncontrollably. Tentacles lunged at him, but Summers dodged, leaping several times to find himself in the middle of Cassian's group.

"betray?"

Summers' face twisted in a grimace: "Larson, do you know how much agony I've endured every day for so many years? My wife died right before my eyes, and I was powerless to do anything about it. Every day I had to prepare food for the man who killed her. I've had enough of this kind of life."

"I hate you for holding me back and preventing me from going to hell with Anna. I hate Him for coming to the restaurant. And I hate myself even more for being a coward."

"This time I don't want to wait anymore. I don't want to be a coward anymore. I want Him dead." Summers' eyes were filled with hatred.

After hearing his words, Larson fell silent for a moment, then finally sighed helplessly:

"bring it on!"

.......

"We're still missing one blood core." Gu Ye picked up the card-making material dropped by the giant rat. They left the room when the explosion happened and went to the food area to hunt for blood cores for Chu Ling and the other two.

Yan Shuangling held a map of the restaurant in her hand: "The direction from which the explosion just occurred should be the kitchen cooking area."

"Currently, there are only monsters in the staff accommodation area on the third floor of the restaurant. All the monsters in other areas have been summoned to the cooking area, where a massive battle is taking place."

"Okay, let's go to the third floor then."

They made their way to the third floor without any obstacles. The spacious corridor was now stained with blood, but there was no monster in it.

"Search!" The group split up and searched each room.

The two of them hadn't paid much attention when they came up last time. Gu Ye browsed through the room number information. Starting from the stairs, the rooms were mostly for waiters and waitresses, with some chefs' rooms mixed in.

At the end of the corridor, there is a room without a nameplate, with the head chef's and manager's rooms on the left and right sides, respectively.

"Manager?" Gu Ye searched his memory but couldn't find any record of this manager.

"What are you looking at?" Chu Ling patted Gu Ye's shoulder and walked forward to look at the three rooms.

"We searched all the rooms but didn't find the monster. According to Yan Xiaohua's information, the monster must be in these three rooms."

"Open the door!"

Yan Shuangling and the other two also came over. Gu Ye walked to the manager's room, grasped the doorknob, and gently turned it.

With a "click," the door opened, and Gu Ye pushed it open, revealing the entryway inside.

Zhang Fei and his men led the way, slowly entering the room, passing through the entrance hall, and entering the living room, where a very refined-looking man was being hung in the center of the living room.

"Hey! You've finally come in. I've been watching you for days."

"Quick, put me down, I can't wait any longer."

"Peak Bronze!" Everyone present sensed his aura. Gu Ye, seeing that he couldn't break free of his restraints, asked:

"Are you the manager?"

Upon hearing this, the man was stunned and said in surprise:

"You don't recognize me?" Everyone shook their heads. Seeing this, the man explained:

"I am the transformed form of the Bodhi Grass, and I am not a manager."

"Where did the manager go? And what is this 'Bodhi Grass'?" Chu Ling asked, voicing her doubts.

"The manager said he had some task and then left the restaurant. What is 'Bodhi Grass'? Put me down and I'll tell you."

"Leave the restaurant?" Everyone looked incredulous. The fact that monsters inside the Card Domain could leave the Card Domain was something none of them had ever heard of.

"Enough of this, just put me down."

"Hurry up." [Bodhi Grass] urged them urgently, her expression growing increasingly grim.
