In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

"Hey, why is this happening..." Qianshu sat backwards in the chair, feeling deflated. His face leaned against the back of the chair, and his soft face was distorted.

"Then why don't you just ask the seniors?"

"Just go and ask?" Qian Shu thought for a moment and came to a conclusion, "Yes, that guy is eating in the store right now, he definitely won't leave right away. I'll go ask him now and ask him to tell me how I can become as strong as him!"

Hai Meng and Qian Shu are very similar in that they both act as soon as they say they will and have strong execution ability.

How could Senior tell Qianshu such an important thing? The things in the other world are secrets among secrets. Even a junior like me found out with great difficulty. Today is only the second time Qianshu has met Senior. How could Senior tell her?

"How did I become strong? By practicing Taoism. I use magic to fight ordinary people like you, and it's like chopping melons and vegetables. Besides, in a sense, you are dead." Ouyang Xuan told Hai Meng what he thought was an important secret.

"Chuunibyou." Chizuka said with disgust.

"Weakling." Ouyang Xuan retorted.

"Tch, forget it if you don't want to say it."

Qianshu left angrily, but Ouyang Xuan was very calm because he did not lie.

"Senior, can we tell them that?" Hai Meng came over.

"There's nothing to hide. They were originally marginalized people in the other world."

"I even rejected Qian Shu's question so seriously, thinking of keeping the secret for Senior. Didn't I work in vain?"

Hai Meng fell on the table in frustration. He looked so serious just now, but now he looked like a clown.

"Miss, waitress." An old lady shouted to the table where Ouyang Xuan and his friends were sitting.

"Excuse me, Miss, is it your break time?" the old lady asked. "I'd like to order a cup of tea."

"Hmm~~" Hai Meng first looked at the old lady, then looked at the clothes on her body, and immediately jumped up. This was talking about herself.

"Um, I'm not—"

"Miss, you haven't rested yet, that's great." The old lady spoke before Hai Meng could finish, "I'd like to order a cup of black tea and a non-sweet cheesecake."

"Please, Miss Shopkeeper." After saying that, the old lady nodded and bowed to Hai Meng very politely.

"Um..." Looking at the old lady's actions, Hai Meng didn't know what to say for a moment. When the words came out of his mouth, it became, "Okay, here is your order."

Haimeng is worthy of being a cosplayer. Although it was only one day, her expression control and acting skills were still very good. She completely immersed herself in the role of a coffee shop employee. Customers looking for Haimeng came one after another. There were a lot of customers today, and soon Haimeng was the only one waiting at the front desk, while Takina and Chizuka were helping in the kitchen.

He was clearly a customer who came to drink tea, but after changing his clothes, he inexplicably became a shop assistant. Although Hai Meng was a little resistant and objected at first, after serving a few more people, he immediately adapted to it and greeted every customer who came in with a sweet smile.

This went on until the evening, when Likoliko was temporarily free of customers and Haimeng was able to rest for a while.

"I'm so tired~~~I'm obviously a customer, how did I become a waiter?" Hai Meng complained exhaustedly.

"Mr. Manager, I have been helping your store for so long today. Please give me a little more salary. Thank you."

"Of course no problem, I will pay Miss Kitagawa at the highest daily wage." Mika smiled and handed an envelope to Haimeng. It was very thick and it was obvious that there was a lot of money in it.

"I've found my new cosplay costume!" After touching the envelope, Hai Meng immediately came back to life.

"Tear, let's go buy fabric tomorrow. We couldn't afford that fabric last time because it was too expensive, but this time we can finally get it. Yay! Long live the salary!"

"Senior Hai Meng." Lei Zi wanted to say something but stopped.

"What's wrong?" Hai Meng, who received an unexpectedly higher salary, is now thinking about how to spend the money.

"Today is August 8st," Lei Zi reminded.

"I know, I know. It's the last day of August. It's not like August will never end. I know that."

"Senior Hai Meng, do you remember what day tomorrow is?"

"Tomorrow, isn't tomorrow—" Hai Meng's bouncing body suddenly stopped, and the colors on her body seemed to fade a lot in an instant. She looked at Ouyang Shun with empty eyes and said, "Senior, you have a spell that can reverse time, right? Please, send me back to the first day of summer vacation."

"Why is summer vacation over?"

"Is Senior Ouyang's university also starting tomorrow?" Lei Zi asked Ouyang Jun.

"No, each department at the University of Tokyo has a different start date. Our philosophy department doesn't start until mid-month."

"College is so great~~" Hai Meng said dejectedly.

"Something bad is going to happen!"

The loud shouting sound was caused by Qianshu pushing open the door in panic and running to the front hall.

"What happened, Chizuka?" Takina wiped the water off her hands with her skirt and hurried out of the kitchen.

"Is Lycoris finally going to be laid off?" Ruixi said excitedly. "To celebrate the closing of this damned Orphan Killer Gang, Manager, let's have a party tonight. A beer party."

"No, shut up, you drunkard!" Qian Shu retorted with disgust on his face. After that, he took out his mobile phone to show everyone the content on it. It was a review website that he often visited.

【Liko Liko's new cutest waiter! 】

The content shows Haimeng wearing a Taisho maid outfit, smiling brightly as she serves tea to an old lady. Her golden hair shines like real gold under the sunlight.

This post has received over a hundred replies, all praising Hai Meng as the new pillar of Liko Liko and the new cutest waitress, having already abandoned Qian Shu, the former cutest waitress.

"These guys, they just said I was the cutest waitress a few days ago, and now they all come to say Haimeng is the cutest. It's so hateful, how can they change so quickly!" Qianzhu was very angry. When she wanted to share her feelings with Takina, she found that Takina had already walked back to the kitchen.

"Takina! My title of the cutest waitress has been taken away, won't you comfort me?" Half of Chizuka's body stretched into the kitchen through the half-open booth.

"This stuff is useless. If it's gone, it's gone. It's not a big deal."

"How can this be! Takina, you don't even bother to comfort me!"

Takina simply glanced up at Chizuka and continued washing her dishes.

Outside the door of Liko Liko, a man with unsteady steps staggered across the street, looking at the brightly lit Liko Liko from across the street. He was soaked, as if he had just come out of the water. Seeing his strange appearance, some passers-by chose to avoid him for fear that he would suddenly go crazy and hurt themselves.

Chapter 43 Curry

Ouyang Xuan and his group had originally planned to just have some afternoon tea and leave, but because Hai Meng suddenly became a waiter, they had to wait until now. However, there was also an advantage. Mika prepared a waiter meal for Ouyang Xuan and his group, which was a delicious beef curry.

"Manager." Takina came out with a plate of curry. "Do we have to throw away Mr. Yamashita's curry today too?"

"Hasn't the mountain come down yet?"

"This is already the seventh day he hasn't been here at the foot of the mountain," Ruixi said, shaking his beer bottle. "Last time he came, he was bragging to us about finally getting a promotion. I didn't expect he wouldn't come after that day. Now that he's got a promotion and money, he doesn't want to come to a shabby place like ours anymore."

"Shanxia isn't coming anymore, so we're short on board game players." Hu Tao's eyes lit up. "Haimeng, why don't you come work in the store next time? There'll be board game activities after work."

"Please let me work next time." Hai Meng raised her hand in agreement. "It would be best if the salary is only half of what I get today."

Even if it's only half, it's still several times more expensive than going to a family restaurant or convenience store. Cosplay is very expensive. Although Hai Meng has saved a lot of money, it is also very important to increase income while saving money. You have to earn something before you can save something.

"But who is that Mr. Yamashita?"

"He's an old customer of ours," Ruixi explained. "He's the section chief of a business company in the next district. After working for over a decade, he finally got a promotion. Unexpectedly, the day after his promotion, he stopped coming to our store."

"Maybe they are eating high-end steaks and drinking fine red wine right now, unlike me, who can only stay here and drink cheap beer." Ruixi sighed.

"Then move out of here, drunkard." Qianshu said with disgust.

"I don't want to. There are so many talented people here. I love it here."

Jingle bell~~

The doorbell rang, and Chitose, who had just finished arguing with Ruixi, looked up with a look of surprise on her face.

"Hey, Mr. Yamashita, you're finally here."

The wet man who came in was Mr. Yamashita, who was just being discussed by Chizuki and the others.

"See? Mr. Yamashita is not some drunkard who forgets his friends when he gets rich."

"Cut~~"

"I haven't seen you, Mr. Yamashita, come to our Riko Riko recently. Are you too busy with work after your promotion? Even if you're busy, you can't skip meals."

"A plate of curry rice." Yamashita just ordered silently.

"Haha..." Qianzhu smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, Mr. Yamashita, it's time for us to close the store. We thought you weren't coming, so we cleared out the curry. How about this, there's a cake in the store. I'll get you one to fill your stomach."

"President!?" Hina lowered her voice and leaned close to Ouyang Sun's ear.

"Don't be anxious, just wait and see." Ouyang Xuan drank his tea calmly, but his eyes were fixed on Shanxia who was moving step by step to the side of the table.

"A plate of curry rice..." Yamashita continued muttering about his curry rice.

"Hey, Yamashita." Walnut came over with a towel, concerned about her poker partner. "Did you fall into the water? Why are you all wet?"

"Hurry up and wipe yourself off, or you'll catch a cold. You've been absent from our board game for a week, so you can't miss tomorrow's event."

"Curry and rice, I want to eat curry and rice."

"Yamashita, what's wrong with you?" Hu Tao noticed something was wrong with Shan Xia. When she covered Shan Xia with a towel, she touched Shan Xia's hand, which was as cold as ice. "What's wrong with you? Why are your hands so cold?"

"I think Mr. Yamashita must have accidentally fallen into the water." Qianzhu said with an expression of having solved a case. "Rather than eating, it's more important to warm up quickly. Mr. Yamashita, you can have a cup of coffee first."

"Curry rice, I want curry rice, give me curry rice quickly!"

"what!"

Yamashita slammed the table with his fists, and finally raised his head, which had been lowered all the time. He saw that the middle-aged man's face was pale, so pale that there was no blood in it, and even his lips were pale.

"Give me some curry—"

Shouting, Yamashita stretched out his hands and pounced on Qianshu. Seeing this, Qianshu responded immediately. He originally wanted to throw the old customer over his shoulder to wake him up, but when he grabbed him, Yamashita's suit was covered with a lot of slippery moss. Qianshu's hands slipped and he couldn't grab Yamashita. He could only kick Yamashita's legs, causing him to lose balance and fall to the ground.

"Mr. Yamashita, are you drunk?" Qianshu's tone was still relaxed. It was not surprising that he was drunk.

"If you get drunk, your wife will be angry."

Qianshu squatted beside the mountain and stretched out his hand to pat the junior below. Qianshu's face changed after this pat. It was as cold as ice and as hard as stone. Although Qianshu had never killed anyone since he got the heart, he became a high-level Likolis after all by relying on his military exploits. Qianshu knew very well what a corpse should look like.

Mr. Yamashita is dead?

But why do dead people move?

His brain froze for a moment. Qianshu had indeed seen all kinds of big scenes, but a corpse coming to eat and even fighting with him was something Qianshu had never seen before.

Qianshu's brain froze for a while, and Yamashita on the ground took this opportunity to suddenly jump up, jumping in front of Qianshu, with his hands made into claws, ready to hit Qianshu's little face. But before Yamashita could make a move, a gunshot was heard from behind him, and a fist-sized hole was shot in Yamashita's lower abdomen. His jumping body tilted to one side and fell down due to the external force.

"Roar! Roar!"

He was crawling on all fours like a wild beast, with his mouth full of fangs opened at the foot of the mountain. He blocked the door and roared at the people in the house, as if he thought he was the final boss who blocked the only escape exit.

"Down the mountain?" Walnut looked at this old acquaintance in disbelief.

"Kurumi, get out of the way."

The person who shouted was Takina, who had just gone to the back alley to throw away the garbage. In her hand was a Glock pistol, the standard weapon of the Lycoris and their companions. The crosshairs were aimed precisely at Yamashita's head, and her fingers were pulling the trigger quickly and repeatedly.

The sound of bang bang bang echoed in the small coffee shop. Yamashita's head was turned 100 degrees by the fast-moving bullets, and he was looking up at the ceiling.

"Curry—I want curry!"

Yamashita's head suddenly snapped back into place. The bullet shot by Takina was deeply embedded in his head, and then was squeezed out by the growing flesh and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

"What?" Takina, an excellent student who believed in science, would never have thought that something could still survive after being shot in the head.

“Eat curry!”

"Why are you shouting? You are not starving to death."

He exerted force with his legs and jumped up towards the door, pouncing forward with his claws and fangs bared. He had just jumped up, but he was frustrated just like the first time. Ouyang Jun appeared in front of him in an instant, raised his hand and knocked him to the ground with a simple punch, making a big hole in the wooden floor.

"Eat, I want to eat—"

A blue glowing talisman was suspended in the air, strangling Shanxia's neck like a rope, hanging him up like a hanged ghost. Although his neck was strangled, Shanxia danced around without caring, wanting to attack Ouyang Sun who was very close to him.

His fingers were swiping in the air, and as Ouyang Sun's fingers moved, the blue talisman floating in the air gradually took shape. Driven by Ouyang Sun's fingers, it touched Shanxia's forehead. Shanxia, who was grinning and dancing with joy in the previous second, suddenly became quiet, with his hands and feet drooping and his eyes looking forward blankly.

From Yamashita's rampage attack on Chizuka, to Takina entering the room and opening fire, and finally being hung up by Ouyang Falcon's talisman, the whole process took a very short time, almost in the blink of an eye. Ruixi was even still at the beginning, when Yamashita attacked Chizuka.

"Yamashita, what happened to him?" Hu Tao asked subconsciously.

"Nothing." Ouyang Xuan replied, "He just turned into a water ghost. He will be reincarnated soon."

"Wait, wait, what, what is going on?!" Qian Shu shouted, trying to rush to Ouyang Xuan, but after taking a few steps, his legs went weak and he fell down.

There were five scars on Qianshu's arms, and green juice was flowing out of them. It was not known whether it was blood or venom. In any case, Qianshu felt that his legs had no strength left.

"Ms. Chitose, don't move." Hina put her backpack on the ground and began to rummage through things. After a while, she took out a round iron box and a roll of bandage.

"This is an ointment the president made with glutinous rice and black dog blood. It's very effective against the poison of these monsters. Apply it for about half an hour and you should be fine."

After being an assistant for so long, Yangcai's auxiliary skills have become more and more advanced, and now she can apply medicine and bandages.

Haruna dug out a piece of red and black ointment with her hands and applied it to the wound on Qianshu's arm. The moment the wound and the ointment came into contact, a foul-smelling green smoke came out, accompanied by a sizzling sound like barbecue.
