Angels and Demons 4



rotten dinner

Be prepared, that doesn't sound like a good word.

Zhou Yan opened the bathroom door, and Michael also changed his clothes and stood at the door. He stood on tiptoe and saw the terrible environment in the bathroom. He couldn't help pinching his nose in disgust, and said, "Hey, this bathroom is really disgusting. Fortunately, my cheap stepmother didn't arrange this room for me."

"Okay, it's time for you to go down to eat. After a day of school, I'm really sleepy." Michael yawned and led Zhou Yan to the banquet hall on the first floor.

It is not entirely accurate to say that it is a banquet hall.

Perhaps it was because of just moving in that the entire banquet hall was damp and dark, with only a few candles on the table providing light, and the sound of sparks exploding from time to time.

But the owner of this restaurant also tried every means to provide a good dining experience for the guests. The knives and forks and porcelain basins were placed on everyone's seats, and there were exquisite silver bowls in the middle, but the gaps in the windows revealed The passing cold wind rattled the delicate cutlery.

The host, Connor, was wearing an apron, and he seemed to be helping his celebrity wife to cook a soup. When he saw Michael coming down with two guests, he hurried forward to say hello, "Please sit down, please sit down."

"Cecia, ask my brother to help you, do it well." The host Connor said to the little girl who was playing with the mouse.

Michael's face immediately became ugly, he tried his best to hide his disgust, he came to the little girl with stiff legs, and said in the gentlest voice possible: "Cecia, shall we go to eat?"

"Eat?" Cecia stood up suddenly, grabbed the mouse in her hand, handed it to Michael, and said, "Brother, you eat, eat my partner, you will be happy, you don't have to eat anymore!"

The little white mouse has been tortured to the brink of death, but when it senses the danger coming, it still struggles with its body, trying to save its own life.

"Go away!" Michael slapped away the mouse handed by the little girl, hugged her shoulders forcefully, lifted her to the dining table, put her on the dining chair, and said viciously: "Sit down, don't let me go!" move!"

He said cruel words, but Zhou Yan saw the poor little white mouse in his hand and hid behind him.

"Okay, okay, brother, eat," Cecilia hurriedly picked up the knife and fork in her hand, then suddenly stood up on the chair, and said to the ceiling, "Brother, someone is up there."

When Michael heard her words, his expression changed, and he also looked up at the cobweb-covered ceiling.

Cecilia was still immersed in her own world, and scratched the bone plate with a knife and fork a few times. The sharp friction sound echoed in the room, and she pretended to be cutting, and inserted a piece of meat that did not exist with the fork. Handed it to "the man" on the ceiling, and said: "You eat, you are hungry, eat, eat! Hee hee!"

Michael looked at it for a while, then yelled at Cecia: "Stop making trouble, it's time to eat, where is anyone! Give me the knife and fork."

"Michael, how could you be so rude to your sister!" Lilith, who was cooking potatoes, came back to her senses, her beautiful green eyes were filled with condemnation of this unrelated oil bottle.

"Lilith, I see Maddie and Cecilia, they have a very good relationship, this is their kid's way of playing around, don't you see that Cecilia is often clinging to her brother?" Connor, the male host, comforted him.

Lilith glanced blankly at her husband, then glanced at the guests present intentionally or unintentionally, pouted her mouth, and finally did not speak, just stirring the soup pot angrily with a spoon.

"How do you know there's nothing on the ceiling?" Zhou Yan asked, sitting up straight and looking at Michael involuntarily.

Michael pressed the baseball cap on his head, glanced at the couple who were still busy, and said in a low voice, "I have holy water. If ghosts approach, my holy water will glow."

Zhou Yan widened his eyes and saw Michael take out a mirrored transparent glass vial from his pocket, which contained some clear water.

"She's talking nonsense, there's nothing on the ceiling." Michael looked at Cecilia, who was crying, and gave her the knife and fork again.

Zhou Yan looked at Chessia thoughtfully. As soon as she got the knife and fork, she danced happily, swaying her hands in a strange posture in mid-air, and then knocked on the table with both hands, screaming loudly: "Cut! Cicia is hungry! Cecilia is hungry! Me and my friends are hungry!"

friend?

Zhou Yan's heart moved, and he asked in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Cecia, you said before that you played games with your friend Toke, did you feed Toke just now?"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yan showed a smile that he thought was very warm.

He's good looking, and when he's utterly good, no one will believe he's a bad guy.

But his offensive collapsed in front of Cecilia.

Hearing the stranger's cross-examination, Cecilia immediately turned gloomy, staring at Zhou Yan with two dark eyes, and wrinkled the wide part of her nose, saying: "Bad guy! No friends! Cecia has no friends!"

"Cecicia!" Michael knocked on Cecilia's head and said, "You are so impolite."

Cecilia covered the red marks on her forehead, sniffed, and lowered her head without speaking.

Zhou Yan touched his nose in embarrassment. At present, it seems that the little girl Cecilia is very wary, and only Michael can communicate with her.

"Okay, everyone has been waiting for a long time!"

Lilith came to everyone with a bowl of steaming soup in her hands wearing asbestos gloves. Her long hair in the shawl even fell a few strands into the basin, and the white heat made her face almost magically beautiful. , adding a bit of mystery.

She carefully pulled out the hair that fell into the soup bowl, licked it to her lips, and with graceful steps, she put the heavy soup bowl on the long wooden table and said, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, let's eat first." Bar."

This is a dish that looks like curry chicken, but there is a layer of weird green hair floating on the surface, and even the chicken is covered with green spots.

He moved back a little bit, and when the heat dissipated almost, he could even see the white foam floating beside the whitened chicken pieces.

Connor walked to the dining table and opened the silver pots one by one. They turned out to be food covered with mold. The apple closest to Zhou Yan was completely rotten, and a fat white maggot was slowly crawling from the rotten core. out.

Lilith and Connor didn't seem to notice the strangeness of the food, they just looked at Zhou Yan with a smile, as if they wanted to see him swallowing these unpalatable and disgusting foods all the time.

"I won't eat!" Michael stood up first. After living in this weird family for a few days, he had mastered the rules, put on a rebellious teenage look, and wrinkled his nose and said, "This chicken stinks, You haven't bought meat for a few days!"

"What? It stinks?" The host Connor was embarrassed. He took a bowl of curry soup and sniffed it. He frowned and said, "My dear, why is the chicken smelly today?" ?”

"Oh!" Lilith also stood up, she couldn't help biting her fingers, and said, "Maybe, damn it, I went to the supermarket today, that supermarket, the bad chicken sold in the supermarket, my God, we paid a lot of money , as their member, how could this happen?"

"I'm really sorry, respected guest, you came so far away and failed to entertain everyone well, how about this, how about we go out to eat, there is a delicious Italian restaurant in the town, Lilith and I used to go there often , we are very familiar with the owner of that store, let's go together?" Connor the male host stood up slowly, at this moment, a flash of lightning flashed outside the window, followed by rumbling thunder.

Zhou Yan watched their scenes with cold eyes, their faces were full of apologies for not taking good care of them, but Zhou Yan could keenly feel the danger approaching, if he agreed, he might die on the road.

He couldn't help but look at Michael, who was winking at Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan immediately understood the essence of his ability to survive for so long-to play badly.

So Zhou Yan said quite understandingly: "It's okay, it's inconvenient to rain now."

"Oh, that, that's great!" The hostess Lilith first let out a long breath, patted her chest, and then said as if nothing had happened, "Well, dear, let's clean up this place together, and Maddie , your guests go upstairs to take a stroll and choose a room you like."

"Okay, okay."

Michael curled his lips and rubbed his rumbling stomach, another day of hunger.

He stood up dispiritedly, and said to Zhou Yan, "Let's go."

The two quickly left the precarious, lightning-thundering banquet hall, and walked into the obscure long and narrow corridor. From the corner of Zhou Yan's vision, he caught a glimpse of the beautiful hostess Lilith waving the kitchen knife in her hand, silently addressing her husband. What are you asking.

And the male protagonist Connor also spread his hands, with a helpless expression on his face, as if he had nothing to do with the current embarrassing situation.

Then, the two seemed to have reached an agreement while looking at each other, and slowly turned their gazes to Zhou Yan and Michael, their eyes were shining brightly, and they were planning something.

Being watched by them, Zhou Yan quickened his pace again, walked up to Michael, secretly handed over a piece of bread brought from the toolbox, and said, "I brought it from outside, but I don't know it expired. No."

"Oh, God!" Michael couldn't help using the family's oral habit, his eyes were amazingly bright, he looked at Zhou Yan as if he was looking at his reborn parents, and said, "My good brother, you are really a rescuer Our Lady—"

"Stop!" Zhou Yan stopped Michael's nonsense, he gestured to the couple in the banquet hall with his eyes, and said, "According to common sense, isn't this family very rich? They bought such a big House, why can't you even afford food?"

"This question is also very strange to me, but when I first came to the copy, this family just moved in," Michael led to the second floor, the footsteps of two grown men on the stairs made the stairs that were in disrepair There was a creaking sound, and even Michael's voice was a little vague, "I feel like they just slapped their faces to make them fat, but they don't have much money at all."

At this moment, the ceiling crystal light in the middle of the main house flickered for a few times, then suddenly went out, and the huge manor was plunged into darkness. Afterwards, ferocious lightning flashed continuously outside the window, illuminating everything in the house as if it were daytime. It turned into darkness in an instant.

The two people on the stairs couldn't help sticking their backs tightly to the damp wooden boards, looking at the terrifying shadows below with their eyes, as if they had turned into terrifying ghosts hiding in the light and darkness, facing the two living creatures on the stairs. The lives of the people are salivating, and when they relax, they will devour all human beings.

Squeak, squeak.

It was the sound of footsteps on the floor.

"What are you two doing here?"

The sudden sound shocked both of them, and they all turned their heads to look, and saw the host Connor holding two dim kerosene lamps.

"It's probably because the wires are aging. We haven't checked which wires for a few days after we moved here," Connor said to his son, "McGee, come with me to get the remaining candles, this kerosene lamp, guests."

"Oh, good, good."

Michael looked at Zhou Yan reluctantly, obviously unwilling to leave this teammate at this time, but he didn't want Connor to be suspicious, so he could only walk down slowly.

"Hey, man, be brave. I dared to go hunting alone in the forest at your age. Why are you so slow." Connor grabbed Michael's shoulder and patted his slightly trembling back.

Seeing that the concerned expression on Connor's face didn't seem fake, Michael was finally relieved and followed Connor down the stairs.

When Zhou Yan was about to look for his own room, his eyes happened to look at the door that opened a gap——

It is the master bedroom of this house, and it is also the bedroom of Connor and Lilith.

"Should I go see it?"

Holding the kerosene lamp, Zhou Yan leaned into the crack of the door to peek inside. He only needed to think for a few seconds before he made a decision.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door like a thief, he walked into the master bedroom.

Perhaps because it is used in daily life, the husband and wife have kept this bedroom quite clean, with simple and delicate wallpaper on the walls.

But in some places, the dark yellow traces of water seepage can be clearly seen, and a musty smell can still be smelled in the nose.

The well-designed double bed, the wardrobe made of pineapple wood and the finely crafted dressing table all reveal the wealth of the former owner of this mansion.

"The original owner of this house is still very rich." Zhou Yan was amazed, studied the carpet under his feet, and said, "But the patterns on this carpet are so strange."

The light of the kerosene lamp was not bright. He squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, but he could only see the pattern of the seven-pointed star on it. An inexplicable sense of uneasiness surged in his heart, as if he would be dragged into endless the abyss.

However, his eyes were immediately attracted by the messy letters on the desk. When he picked up the opened letters, what Zhou Yan saw was similar to collections, to the effect that both Lilith and Connor owed a lot of money .

If they do not pay back the money within the time limit, those creditors will take certain measures against the couple.

It can be concluded that Lilith and Connor's family are indeed penniless.That's why they entertain guests with rotten food, and no one has been invited to help clean up the house.

"Could it be that they asked me to make a documentary in order to regain fame and fortune?" Zhou Yan said to himself.

Time was running out, Zhou Yan flipped through the letters in his hand roughly, and found that the same flower pattern was printed on the wax paint. From Zhou Yan's eyesight, it should be some kind of rose.

These roses are carved extremely vividly, and they are in the moment of peak blooming, and the seemingly falling petals indicate that the flowers are about to enter the fate of decay in the next second.

Zhou Yan, with sharp ears, heard footsteps coming from below, and he quickly packed up the letters.

When he walked through the stairs pretending nothing happened, he happened to meet Lilith and Cecia who were going upstairs.

The beautiful hostess held a beautiful decorative lampstand in her hand, and looked at the sneaking guests, she could no longer maintain a polite smile, and asked in a calm voice: "May I ask the guests from afar, what are you looking for?"

"Although few paparazzi come to take pictures of me, don't underestimate my Lilith's eyes, she can test whether you have lied, tell me! You must have done something guilty?!"

"Hehehe, he must have done something shady!" Cecilia bit her mouth and laughed idiotically, glistening saliva dripped from the crooked corner of her mouth onto Lilith's clothes, and said, "Cecia I saw it all! It was Cecia's good friend who told Cecilia!"

The hostess Lilith didn't care about her daughter's weird behavior, but instead touched her face and praised: "Yes, my baby, you are the best!"

When Zhou Yan was in a dilemma, Michael seemed to have heard the movement below. He hurried upstairs, poked his head out, and said, "Well, mother, I just made a mistake and told him that the room is on the third floor. I wanted to talk about the second floor."

Zhou Yan immediately understood and said, "Yes, Ms. Lilith, we just went to the third floor and couldn't find anything, so we delayed for a while."

For some reason, Lilith was a little disappointed when she heard Zhou Yan's answer. She stroked her beautiful long wine-red hair and said, "Well, if you want to know anything, you can also ask me, it's not that I like to expose myself I want to give you a chance to interview Lilith, you know, many reporters came to interview me before, but I thanked them behind closed doors."

"Okay, that McGee, you can lead this oriental man to his bedroom to sleep." Lilith walked up to the dark third floor slowly with Cecia in her arms.

Chessia stopped crying, lay on her mother's shoulder, stared at Zhou Yan and Michael with her dark eyes, and let out a weird smile of unknown meaning.

Michael breathed a sigh of relief. He ran to Zhou Yan, handed him a transparent glass bottle, and whispered, "There is only so much holy water left. If you see something at night, don't say anything."
