Chapter 1 Non-existent Restaurant
"Xiao Shan, then I will go first, pay attention to the time, don't work too late..."
The girl opposite stood up from her desk, waved to Guan Shan, and said.
Under the light, the girl’s plump face was serious, her skin had a fair complexion, her dark eyes were bright and clear, reflecting Guan Shan's appearance.
The girl is called Shen Dinghua, and she was the photographer of the local newspaper called "Hangcheng Evening News".
Guan Shan was a reporter for the newspaper.
The two grew up together, and they were childhood sweethearts.
Guan Shan didn't look up: "I see, I'll leave after editing this manuscript."
Shen Dinghua blew out her cheeks and leaned close to Guan Shan, grumbling: "You said the same last time, but when I called you at 2 in the middle of the night, you were still working... It's bad for your health to sleep late."
"Don't say it as if I was exploited by the newspaper. I just couldn't sleep at home, so I just did some unfinished work by the way."
Guan Shan retorted: "You also hadn’t slept. You even called me in the middle of the night. If I was sleeping, wouldn't you wake me up?"
"Don't scold me please..."
The girl immediately squatted down and hugged her head with her hands, looking at Guan Shan pitifully. She stretched out two fingers on top of her head like two antennas and said, "Because your house is next to my house! I just need to open the curtains. Then I can see that your bedroom light is still on."
Guan Shan stretched out his finger and flicked the girl's forehead: "You think you are very smart?"
"Ow!"
The girl let go of her hand in a panic, lost her balance, and fell backward.
Guan Shan was startled, and immediately reached out to grab her, but his hand was grasped by the girl instead. He looked up and saw Shen Dinghua blinking at him, showing no sign of falling down.
She took advantage of his strength to stand up and asked with a smile, "Xiao Shan, why do you get deceived every time?"
Guan Shan turned his head and said in a huff: "How do I know!"
After that, no matter what the girl said, he didn’t say anything.
"Okay... Then I'm really going now, Xiao Shan. Remember not to come back too late, I will be watching you."
"I know, I know."
Although Guan Shan said so, when he walked out of the newspaper, it was still too late.
Hangcheng’s night was cool and noisy, the lights on the streets and cars were like the stars in the milky way.
"Growling~"
Guan Shan touched his empty stomach, only to remember that he had forgotten to eat dinner.
‘At this point, the restaurant I usually go to is already closed… Should I go home and eat instant noodles?’
Just when he was thinking about it, he saw a glowing advertising lightbox.
[Meat buffet, 30 yuan per person, all you can eat.]
Guan Shan raised his head, a big sign came into his view. He couldn’t help but think suspiciously: "Meat Restaurant? Haven't seen it before, is it a new restaurant just recently opened?"
It was past 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and there were few passers-by, but the restaurant in front of him was brightly lit, and there was constant noise coming from inside.
The bright lightbox at the entrance of the restaurant attracted a large number of moths and mosquitoes. They surrounded it and repeatedly slammed their bodies against the box. The ground was already covered with densely packed corpses, but they were hidden in the shadows.
Through the glass windows, Guan Shan could vaguely see the customers who lowered their heads focused on eating. Almost every table was filled with a large plate of food. He could see all kinds of unrecognizable meat stewed together.
Guan Shan sniffed. It had a strong meaty aroma, mixed with the smell of spices, which was very appetizing.
"It smells great!"
The aroma of meat was like a hook, it burrowed straight into his stomach, hooked his appetite, and pulled it out. It was simply irresistible.
‘Although it seemed that the sanitary conditions were a bit poor, and the overly cheap price is also very suspicious, it is really fragrant… So hungry…’
"Growling!"
Guan Shan swallowed. The tip of his nose and mouth were filled with a meaty scent that made his mouth waster, causing his stomach to growl again.
Hunger instantly took over his brain, leaving him almost with only one thought.
‘So fragrant... So hungry... I really want to eat!’
‘Want to eat, want to eat, want to eat…’
When Guan Shan came back in a daze, he had already opened the glass door and walked into the restaurant.
In it, the lively voices that I heard outside suddenly disappeared.
The sound of chewing, swallowing, and the clashing of cups and plates combined into a noisy background sound. No one was talking around, and all the customers were gnawing at the meat on the plate.
The waitress greeted him with a smile: "Hello sir, how many?"
"One."
Guan Shan swallowed again, smelling the scent of meat in the air, only feeling hungry, and didn't have the energy to pay attention to others.
After paying the money, he glanced at an empty seat and walked over immediately.
He squeezed through the two tables, accidentally knocking a plate on one of the tables.
"Pa!"
Guan Shan looked down. It was a piece of fat intestine that had fallen to the ground.
White fat layer of the large intestine flowed out from inside, and the warm color of the light, the traces of blood could be vaguely seen.
"Ah! I’m sorry!"
Guan Shan quickly apologized, but the middle-aged white-collar customer didn't look up, and didn't care if the clothes were dirty. He kept stuffing meat in his mouth, and snorted like a beast.
Upon seeing this, Guan Shan scratched his head in confusion. Not wanting to disturb others, he continued to walk towards his seat.
He sat down in the empty seat, swallowed again, and waited for the waitress to serve him.
He turned on his phone, logged in to Penguin and sent a message to Shen Dinghua.
[Beyond_the_hills]: "The newly opened buffet near the newspaper office seems very good. We should come together next time?"
[Winter_daphne]: "You have worked late again [○｀Д｀○]!"
[Beyond_the_hills]: "What do you mean late? It’s not even 12 yet. At most, it's just the beginning of night life."
[Winter_daphne]: "Sophistry! Huh, fortunately, I have been waiting this time. I specially boiled wolfberry, red dates and white fungus soup for you, hurry up and come to eat itヽ(`Д`)!"
[Winter_daphne]: "By the way, what buffet? There is no new buffet near the office."
[Beyond_the_hills]: "A buffet called Meat Restaurant, just turn left opposite the office."
[Winter_daphne]: "?"
[Winter_daphne]: "Turn left on the opposite side of the office is the closed SX snack shop. I happened to go there today and took some photos. There is no buffet. You are sure you are in the right place?"
A photo was sent from the other side. It was clear, and the time was today. It was exactly where Guan Shan saw the advertising light box.
The light box on the photo says "fried noodles, fried rice..." and other words, and behind the light box was an SX snack shop.
Guan Shan's pupils shrank, and his scalp tingled for a moment.
If it had always been SX snacks, where did he enter now? !
"Bang."
The heavy dinner plate was placed on the dining table with a muffled noise.
Guan Shan raised his head suddenly and saw the waitress smiling and saying: "Sir, please enjoy your meal."
"Than, thank you..."
Guan Shan squeezed out a smile, comforting himself that he must be thinking too much. The waitress looked normal. But then he was taken aback.
A mechanical sound suddenly sounded in his ear, and a line of handwriting appeared in front of him.

[Status bar, backpack, and items are unlocked]
Guan Shan's eyes flashed, and then a simple game interface appeared in his vision.
The upper left was the health bar and the stamina bar, and the four items on the lower left were empty.
At the same time, the gazes of Guan Shan, who raised his head, happened to pass the waitress's shoulder and saw the kitchen behind.
At this moment, in the half-covered door, a chef holding a kitchen knife slowly chopping meat could be vaguely seen.
The chef's figure was extraordinarily tall. According to Guan Shan's eyes, it was at least two meters tall. His bloated and fat body was cramped in a small space, like an elephant being stuffed into a refrigerator.
The chef raised his hand and hung the cut meat on a hook on the side.
That was not meat...that was a human arm!
