After Shifang Lianshi and the others finished eating, they exchanged glances and silently turned their heads away.
"No way, Yuan'er, why are you crying too? Did you cry because it was so delicious?" Rujianxuan teased, her voice trembling with tears, her own eyes also red.
She knew why everyone was crying; it was the emotion of eating normal food for the first time.
"Nonsense, it's from the spiciness of the chili peppers." Gu Jianyuan swallowed the last bite of stinky tofu, and without thinking, picked up the bowl and drank the last bit of soup in the takeout container.
This is the first time I've encountered something that's both edible and delicious; I can't bear to waste a single drop of the dipping sauce.
"Yuan'er, you're too cunning. Leave some for me."
After half an hour,
The crowd's excitement gradually subsided a little.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the takeout bags on the bar.
“Fueguchi, I know you’re heartbroken right now, but this stinky tofu is our hope as ghouls. Please recount the events of that time to us in detail.”
"Yes, this is how it is..."
The flute mouth nodded.
The second time they listened to intelligence, everyone's expression was unusually serious, as if they were afraid of missing a single word.
"Wearing a mask... and suddenly giving you food—if this isn't a coincidence, the shop owner must know you and be helping you! Without this, those two CCG investigators wouldn't have so easily let go of their suspicions about you."
Everyone was stunned by what the store manager said.
Especially for Diekou, she felt a surge of emotion, realizing that she had been saved once.
"But this speculation is terrifying, proving that the other party knew his food was suitable for ghouls..."
"So it seems they are friends, not enemies, or at least they have goodwill towards us."
"Let's go, Songxia Street isn't far, let's go and have a chat with this boss."
The store manager made a decisive move, pushing open the store door and rushing out.
As a ghoul of the highest rank, SSS level, Yoshimura unleashed his full power and arrived at his summer stall in the blink of an eye.
But the place was empty, with only a faint smell of stinky tofu in the air.
"Have you packed up and gone home yet?"
After waiting for a few minutes, Sifang and his group arrived in a hurry, only to be disappointed by the situation.
"Flute Mouth, are you sure this is the place?"
"Yes, I met the boss at this intersection."
"Before I left, the owner's stall was already very popular. One CCG investigator had bought several servings. The owner must have finished selling and packed up his stall."
"Oh, I see. Looks like we'll have to wait until tomorrow."
That's what they say, but nobody knows whether summer will even arrive by tomorrow.
That person knew them very well, but they knew nothing about that person.
Chapter 36 Shattered Worldviews, Snow Beneath the Light
On the other side...
I woke up groggily under the snow.
She found herself in the back seat of a car that appeared to be parked in an empty alley.
Two men outside the car are talking about something.
"Boss, this batch of goods is of very high quality and will definitely meet the requirements of those customers who have expressed their interest in the ghoul restaurant."
"Fool, is this your first time doing business? Who told you to do business in Anding District?"
What happened to the safe zone?
"Forget it, an idiot like you doesn't need to know."
Inside the car, Yukinoshita was stunned. She never imagined she would be abducted herself. She cautiously touched her phone, and just then…
"Peng~"
A loud thud of flesh hitting a bicycle was heard, and a figure slammed against the glass.
In the light from the phone screen, the man, missing half his head, stared intently into the car, his unseeing eyes filled with resentment and confusion.
"what!!"
Yukino lost her phone and was stunned.
This was definitely not a prank. The man's head had been split open, and blood was splattered all over the ground, red and white. You could almost smell the pungent stench of blood even through the car window.
"Killed..."
I thought it was a kidnapping.
Little did they expect to witness a bloody murder scene.
Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her mouth. Yukinoshita bit her lower lip tightly, trying to use the pain to wake up her weak legs.
He wanted to escape, but he had no strength left in his body.
She considered faking her death, but then she heard a man's devilish voice coming from outside the car.
"Oh, little cutie's awake. A rookie is still a rookie, can't even handle catching someone properly." The ghoul in the suit was full of amusement, and the next moment his kagune suddenly extended and rushed towards the car.
The kagune danced in the wind, as nimbly as two hands, and ripped open the car door.
Yukino suddenly shivered.
The ghoul in the suit remained calm, his tone still elegant.
"Unfortunately, since you've seen me, I guess I'll just have to eat you up!"
Without waiting for Yukino's reply.
The kagune transformed into a spear and charged forward, the monster's ferocious face and eerie eyes assaulting her mind.
"No...don't come any closer!!!"
Yukino's mind went blank; fear gripped her entire being. Her eyes were fixed on the monster, its figure gradually growing larger in her vision.
A chilling coldness spread from the soles of my feet to my entire body, as if every cell was frozen by this coldness.
She was desperate.
"Ina Wife!"
A clear voice sounded.
The next moment, a deafening buzz of electricity filled the air, and a violent bolt of lightning exploded in the dark, narrow alleyway.
The monster, along with the dead man in front of the car, was enveloped in lightning.
"Buzz buzz buzz".
Everything turned to ashes.
"Woo~"
Tears blurred her vision, and Yukino lost all her strength, collapsing to the ground.
Her eyes were unfocused.
It felt like I had just experienced a nightmare.
"Yukinoshita-neechan, are you alright?"
Two figures approached, and the familiar voice brought Yukinoshita back to her senses. She looked up blankly, her eyes glistening with tears.
The combination of the large and small, along with the familiar tricycle, even though the signboard has changed, she wouldn't mistake it.
"You are Xiaotan..."
"Shh... Sister Yukinoshita, my brother said that I am now Ultraman Zero. Please teach me, Little Zero."
"I didn't expect to run into you here, Yukinoshita-san." Natsume reached out and pulled her up. "Let's go, this isn't the place to talk, let's leave first."
The tricycle sped out of Anding District.
Two girls, one older and one younger, sat on either side of each other, their faces still dazed despite the snow.
Yukinoshita only came to her senses after the two removed their masks.
If I'm not mistaken, it seems like Boss Xia unleashed a bolt of lightning... which instantly reduced the monster to ashes?
Looking at the mask on the other person's face, is Ultraman fighting monsters invading reality?
Is Xia Tian Ge the human form of Ultraman?
Strictly speaking, lightning can also be considered light, right?
Her brain was practically overheating, and Yukino turned to look at Natsumi, asking with an extremely serious expression, "Natsumi-kun..."
"Are you... the legendary Ultraman?"
"???......"
Summer's confused expression: Where did you get this guess, girl?
The strange look in her eyes made Yukino Shita feel awkward, and the two fell into a brief silence.
After a moment of awkwardness, Yukinoshita gradually regained her composure and asked another question: "Brother Summer, what was that monster just now?"
The mere mention of a monster caused Yukinoshita's body to tremble, her arms gripping Natsume tightly.
"Ghouls: A type of subhuman that feeds on humans; they are pathetic creatures who can't eat anything except coffee and human flesh..."
"How could such a monster exist?"
"Were you scared?" Xia Tian asked in a relaxed tone. "What's scary isn't ghouls, it's people. Don't be fooled by their imposing appearance; people still dominate this world. You don't need to worry too much. Their living conditions are squeezed into a very small area. If you don't come to this place, you generally won't encounter ghouls."
Hearing this, Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time she'd ever encountered monsters, proving that the probability of meeting them was indeed very low.
"Um, Brother Xia Tian, thank you for saving me."
"I'm glad you're alright. Where do you live? I can give you a ride home."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Yukinoshita timidly said, "Brother Summer, can I stay at your place for one night? I'll sleep on the sofa."
"Uh, that's fine."
After thinking for a moment, Xia Tian understood the girl's feelings. Having been so frightened, she really needed a safe place again.
It was clear that her apartment, where she lived alone, and her complicated home did not provide her with a sense of security.
Chapter 37 Yukino's Delicate Feet, Comforting Her All Night
The tricycle drove into the villa area without any hindrance.
It was already 9 o'clock when I got home, and the dozing little Binchotan had already fallen asleep in Xia Tian's arms.
Hearing the commotion, Xiaoqian and Xiaoyou greeted them at the gate of the courtyard.
"Boss, you're back."
Summer found it strange that Xiaoqian and the other girl were still awake.
"You guys haven't slept yet?"
"After tidying up the food cart, I'm going to go to sleep."
Xia Tian looked at Xiao Qian, whose eyes were almost closed, and smiled helplessly. She felt sorry for these two young employees, who didn't have the habit of staying up late, but insisted on waiting for her to come back.
"Okay, let's finish this quickly so we can go to sleep. Xiaoqian, you help me entertain the guests while I take care of this little guy brushing his teeth and putting him to bed."
"Ok."
Xiao You carried a spatula to wash the tricycle, while Xiao Qian followed Xia Tianxue into the house to serve tea to the guests.
Yukinoshita curiously looked around the villa.
Yukinoshita wasn't surprised by Chihiro and Yu; it would be strange if they didn't have several guests at home in such a big villa.
She was more curious about summer; who would have thought that a street vendor would live in a castle tower villa that money couldn't buy?
