The clear sunlight shines through the wooden windows of the restaurant and onto the stone tile floor in front of Qin Luo.
Everything here seems so normal.
Inside the restaurant, it was still noisy.
The guests who were rowing fists and drinking wine were still making noises, while the old men who were feasting on the food had their mouths full of oil and lowered their heads to enjoy the meal.
No one seemed to notice that the waiter disappeared alive in the restaurant lobby.
This person's disappearance seemed to cause no movement in the restaurant.
Qin Luo took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
Although he claims to be a man of three generations, he is well-informed and knows a thing or two about cultivating immortals, practicing body training, and those who engage in conspiracy.
But the sudden disappearance of the waiter in this shop was really a blind spot in his knowledge.
certainly.
Although this situation is strange, there is no substantial threat yet.
not to mention.
Under such circumstances, he needs to deal with the unknown in the most calm manner.
first.
Qin Luo eliminated the ghost infestation.
Unless the ghost's Taoism reaches a certain level, the yin energy when it appears cannot be eliminated.
In this restaurant, Qin Luo didn't notice anything amiss.
Secondly.
Qin Luo also ruled out the possibility that the waiter in the shop was an advanced monk.
Even if he was a monk at the Golden Core Realm, Qin Luo didn't think he could disappear so quietly in front of him.
But the waiter was like water vapor exposed to the sun, evaporated directly.
His flesh, blood, hair, and bone marrow were all gone, not even a trace was left.
Moreover, the waiter in the shop not only disappeared physically, but also his aura.
When a person passes through a space, he will leave his own unique atmosphere.
This kind of smell is difficult to fake.
It may be mixed with the smell of leek buns from passing a certain stall in the morning, it may be that he has been drinking for many years and has the smell of drunkenness in his bones, or it may be that he has experienced hundreds of battles and has the smell of blood on his body that cannot be wiped off.
Qin Luo had observed the waiter in the shop before.
His body smelled of restaurant fumes, mixed with the smell of copper notes.
But at this moment, Qin Luo could no longer detect such an aura in front of him where the waiter had been.
Qin Luo thought to himself that even if the Anyinlou assassin used the most advanced stealth methods, it would be impossible for him to completely hide his identity so close to him.
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and when something goes wrong, there must be a ghost." Qin Luo muttered silently in his heart.
at last.
When Qin Luo couldn't figure out the reason for the moment, he chose to take the initiative to break the situation.
He strode to the counter, looked at the shopkeeper, slapped the front table angrily and asked: "Shopkeeper, I've been waiting for a long time, ordered a table of dishes, and now only three of them are served, what's the point in your store?"
Where has my waiter gone?"
"Hey, sir, please calm down." The shopkeeper grinned at Qin Luo, and then scolded the kitchen, "Xiao Guizi, what are you doing for food? You are so slow and slow. I will give you my monthly payment for the white haired one. Why don't you hurry up?"
vegetable!"
The next moment.
A figure walked out of the back kitchen with a plate of dishes in one hand.
That Xiao Guizi looked exactly like the waiter who disappeared in front of Qin Luo just now. His appearance was exactly the same, and even the aura on his body was exactly the same.
Qin Luo was stunned for a moment.
"My lord, you have a lot, but I'm just neglecting you..."
Xiao Guizi came forward to apologize and said a lot of kind words, but Qin Luo didn't listen at all.
His right hand subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword, ready to unsheath it at any time.
But everything here is too normal.
It seems that they are just ordinary people in front of me, and it would not be good to hurt them...
After a while.
Qin Luo sat back in front of the table, silently holding his forehead with one hand.
I seem to have forgotten something.
correct.
According to custom, after he entered Lingxiu City, he came to the restaurant to inquire about the news and ordered a table of delicious dishes here.
Then what……
There seems to be nothing wrong with everything here.
But why do I feel so weird?
He looked around blankly. Everyone in the restaurant was chatting and drinking, feeling very happy.
On the contrary, I looked alone.
Could it be that I am too lonely, causing my mood to become abnormal?
It's possible.
The path of spiritual practice is lonely, and it is so sad that I have lived to my third life without being able to see any of my old friends.
Even if you practice to the end, you will still ascend alone, what's the point?
It would be better to end it early and get it over with.
Qin Luo felt that everything in the future was so gloomy, there was no hope at all, and the will to die filled his heart.
"Click."
A crisp sound came clearly from Qin Luo's chest, and then, a sense of clarity washed into his mind.
This made his already somewhat hazy mind suddenly clear.
It was the heart-protecting mirror of a high-grade Xuan-level item that I carried close to my body, and it shattered with a heavy sound.
As early as when he killed Ning Hongyi, Qin Luo planned to use it to resist Ning Hongyi's dying counterattack, but he didn't expect that she was too poisoned at the time and had no time to resist, so she was dropped by Qin Luo.
Therefore, although I always carry this breast shield with me, I have never used it.
At this moment, it was this sound that aroused Qin Luo's alert and helped him get rid of his depressed and decadent state.
There is definitely something wrong with everything that happened in the restaurant just now!
Qin Luo had a rough guess as to where the problem lay.
But he didn't intend to test his guess now.
After all, saving your life is important.
Qin Luo instantly drew his sword and rushed out of the restaurant desperately.
The Hanyu Sword in his hand was filled with fierce sword energy, seeming to cut off everything in front of him.
but.
It didn't hit anything.
When Jianqi encountered the waiter and the manager of the restaurant, there was no scene of blood and flesh as expected. Instead, the two people disappeared so naturally, as if they had never appeared.
And that sword energy continued to move forward.
The scene that settled everything didn't happen.
The tables and chairs in the restaurant were pierced by the sword energy without any damage, as if the sword energy was a chopping stick in the air.
It passed through tables, chairs, pillars, door beams, and didn't even stir up wood chips.
Qin Luo followed the sword energy he slashed and rushed towards the door of the restaurant.
I was under an illusion, a very powerful illusion.
Even now, he still can't figure out the moment when he completely fell into this illusion.
Is there something wrong with the aura of the waiter in that shop? Or is there something wrong with the aroma of my own pot of tea? Or maybe when I entered the restaurant, the aura inside pulled me into the illusion.
It's also possible... that he was under the illusion earlier.
After all, there is so much wrong with this restaurant.
Qin Luo had noticed some situations before, but he was probably forced to forget them because of the effects of the illusion.
