Officer Zhang on the side saw this and guessed that it was probably the little girl who was having a bad temper, so he had to act as a peacemaker and said helplessly: "Qiuzi, he is a priest and cannot eat this kind of food."
"Eh? Is that so?" The girl looked innocently surprised. She moved the steak in front of her and apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know. I'll eat it then."
The priest's smile was still polite, but he was secretly cursing in his heart, "You are just giving it to yourself!"
A silver knife and fork is placed on top of the steak. After cutting it, if you squeeze it slightly, you can see the bright red blood streaks in the gap. For a medium-rare steak, only the skin is slightly cooked.
Xu Shuo cut off a small piece, forked it and slowly put it into his mouth, then pursed his lips and smiled brightly at them, with bright red corners on his lips.
Officer Zhang's mouth twitched slightly and he asked directly: "Qiuzi, do you prefer this kind of food?"
"No."
The girl's cheeks twitched slightly as she ate, with a strange and inexplicably alluring cuteness. She smiled with eight white teeth and said, "I just heard someone said it tasted good, so I wanted to try it. Now that I've eaten it, it still tastes good."
OK~"
Her voice was very soft, and her dark eyes glanced at Officer Zhang with unclear meaning.
It has been raining for the past two days and the temperature has dropped a lot. It is cool and cool both outside and inside the store.
There was a warm yellow light on the ceiling, which gave the girl's porcelain white skin a golden sheen, but faintly illuminated the cyan blood vessels hidden under the skin more clearly, which was fragile yet beautiful.
While Officer Zhang felt that the girl's condition was really weird and he shouldn't have too much contact with her, he couldn't help but focus his eyes on the delicate doll opposite.
She had touched the girl's skin, which was cold, yet delicate and smooth, and very comfortable...
Wait, is something wrong with her?
Officer Zhang suddenly came back to his senses and couldn't help but take a sip of water. Then he turned his head slightly and saw the priest next to him giving her an incomprehensible look.
Officer Zhang: "..."
Xu Shuo was eating his lunch very calmly, not too slowly, and time seemed to have stagnated on her, becoming a little sticky and slow.
The priest kept staring at the girl. Although he did not touch her anymore, his aura was no longer so loose.
The crisp sound of the knife and fork hitting the plate was like the ticking of a clock, which was extremely clear in the quiet restaurant. Until a figure approaching quickly walked to the booth, this inexplicable feeling of suffocation suddenly dissipated.
Xu Shuo had almost finished eating when the waiter brought the other two's well-cooked steaks.
He left the last piece uneaten, put down his knife and fork, raised his head and curled his lips: "Sister Zhang, I've finished eating."
Officer Zhang seemed to have woken up from a dream. She concealed the weirdness in her expression and laughed softly: "Are you going back to the dance studio? If there is any news later, I..."
"Sister Zhang, in three days, Teacher Changying will choose a protagonist among us to perform." Xu Shuo suddenly interrupted her and said.
His eyebrows were slightly curved, and his face was obviously very young, but his smile was inexplicably sinister: "I know you came to me this time for other reasons. You will come to me again when the time comes, right?"
Officer Zhang nodded calmly: "Well, I will go find you."
After hearing this, Xu Shuo smiled again with satisfaction, then stood up and left the restaurant, his delicate yet graceful figure quickly disappearing in the drizzle.
…
After the girl left, the atmosphere in the booth was in vain.
After the remaining two people were silent for a while, Officer Zhang suddenly glared at the man next to him and scolded: "It's all your fault! You said I was alerting the enemy, why did you do something so quickly!"
The priest's demeanor remained unchanged, and he still said with a faint smile: "Your eyes almost popped out just now."
"Look what happened! I didn't do anything either!"
"Look again, you will be contaminated too."
“You are the one who is dirty—”
Halfway through, Officer Zhang suddenly stopped talking and looked at him seriously: "What do you mean?"
The priest looked out the window faintly, glanced at the dance studio not far away, and whispered: "The peeper is right, Qiuzi may have really died that night, and now, the girl doesn't even know whether she
must."
Officer Zhang frowned and became serious: "She just gave us a message..."
"That's exactly what I want to say."
The priest opened his palm, looked at the girl's right hand that he had just touched, and continued: "Qiuzi still has self-awareness now. She may be asking for help from us, or she may be luring us into a trap."
On the palm, there was a brand new burn-like mark.
"Actually, this is the job of the police. You don't need to do so much." Officer Zhang suddenly said with unclear meaning.
"This world is protected by the Lord. As the most devout believer of the Lord, I have the obligation to expel darkness and evil and protect the Lord's people." A specious smile appeared on the priest's face again, and he spoke in a warm voice, full of
The breath of the magic stick.
Unable to find out this guy's mission and purpose, Officer Zhang quietly rolled his eyes.
But now the two of them can barely be considered to be on the same side.
The priest drank water and added: "Besides, I just looked at the information on the missing persons and found some problems."
"What?" Officer Zhang asked while cutting the steak.
"Those people don't believe in my Lord."
Officer Zhang: "..."
She paused and smiled: "I don't believe it either."
The priest also smiled: "There are not many people in this city who don't believe in our Lord. So, you were also targeted last night, weren't you?"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Officer Zhang's face disappeared instantly.
She was indeed touched by the "black dog" last night, but at that time, the other party didn't do anything for some reason, and just let her return to the police station calmly.
At that time, Qiuzi was in her car.
People in this city are mostly religious. The church where the priest is located is the largest church in the city, and the church's pointed dome is also the tallest building in the city. No matter where you are, you can almost see a dome, like a landmark.
But there are people who believe in religion, and naturally there are people who don’t believe in religion. Officer Zhang doesn’t believe in it, and neither does Qiuzi.
None of the missing people believed it.
Thinking about this, she took a bite of steak silently.
The nature of this world is not an ordinary material world. The disappearance of the "black dog" and its extended bizarre murders are currently the most troublesome problems for the police. This is the initial information she received.
Not even five minutes after the show started, the police received a report that a murder had occurred in the dance studio.
As a police officer, Officer Zhang subconsciously felt that the incident would revolve around the deceased. Who knew, after going to the dance studio...
The dead are alive and kicking.
The style of this world has become distorted in an instant.
And those extended weird murders are weird because the murderers are all deceased.
