“Four people, five sets of bowls and chopsticks, can’t be so unlucky, encountering another supernatural event?”

Yang Jian’s uneasiness gradually turned into an inexplicable worry.

He frowned and looked at the private room.

Everything seemed normal, just like eating at a restaurant, and there was nothing suspicious.

But sometimes the appearance of supernatural events is not just about what you see on the surface.

The incident in Huanggang Village is the best proof.

It seemed calm and peaceful, but there was a great fear hidden in the dark.

He wanted to ask the others to confirm the situation.

But the words stopped at his mouth.

If this was really a supernatural event, asking Zhang Wei and the others would be useless. They were just ordinary people and couldn’t solve anything.

If it wasn’t, then it would be a farce and there was no need to worry.

But just to be safe, it would be better to leave this restaurant.

“Oh right, Zhang Wei, weren’t you going to invite us to sing at KTV? We’ve almost finished eating, let’s go now,” Yang Jian suddenly said.

“Murong Erniu, be careful with your words. Zhang Wei? Call me by my full name, Xuanyuan Tiedan,” Zhang Wei said seriously.

“And now Miao Xiaoshan has just arrived. I still have some things I want to discuss with Shangguan Yun. Let’s go later,” Zhang Weidao.

“I don’t mind. I came after eating too. If you guys want to go play, go ahead,” Miao Xiaoshan said.

“That’s not right. We just met our big cousin. Naturally, we need to talk about some family matters. By the way, big cousin, I don’t know what your Shangguan family does. Could it be a hidden wealthy and powerful family?” Zhang Wei said. “To be honest, it’s a bit embarrassing. My Xuanyuan family is a bit down and we’re only involved in billion-dollar construction projects.”

“My friend, Murong Erniu, is different. He is a powerful hidden expert in the city. When you talk to him, you have to be careful. I’m giving him face, but if you accidentally provoke him, he can kill your whole family with just a transformation,” Zhang Wei warned.

Shangguan Yun’s face darkened. It wasn’t his fault that his name had a compound surname. Was there a need to target him like this?

“Have you seen enough? Also, did I offend this classmate?” Shangguan Yun asked.

Not offended?

What’s the point of having a gathering of survivors like us?

Zhang Wei glanced at him, his eyes revealing disdain and dissatisfaction.

Yang Jian said, “Let’s save some of these discussions for later. We’ve almost finished eating, we should leave.”

“No rush, I want to have a conversation between two strong individuals with this Shangguan brother,” Zhang Wei said.

Zhao Lei nodded and said, “Miao Xiaoshan, you can eat first. Zhang Wei and I will talk to your cousin.”

“Why do I have such a group of classmates? There are hardly any normal ones,” Miao Xiaoshan felt embarrassed. If her family knew about the behavior of these classmates, they would definitely make fun of her.

“Wait a moment, don’t you guys think there’s something wrong with this restaurant, no, more accurately, this private room?” Yang Jian said.

“What’s wrong? There’s nothing wrong,” Zhao Lei wondered.

At this moment, Zhang Wei suddenly stood up. “You’re right, I also feel that something is wrong. Let’s go, let’s leave now.”

“Huh?”

Yang Jian was actually stunned. Did Zhang Wei, who usually had a thick-skinned personality, also notice the abnormalities in this private room?

“Let’s go sing,” Zhang Wei immediately said.

And for once, he acted decisively and quickly settled the bill and left.

“Why are we leaving when the food was so good? I haven’t eaten enough yet,” Zhao Lei said on the way.

Zhang Wei’s expression became serious. “But that restaurant has a problem.”

“You also noticed? Looks like I have to look at you differently. I thought you were useless except for playing games all day,” Yang Jian said, somewhat appreciative.

Zhang Wei was puzzled. “I didn’t notice any problem. The food was delicious, and I wanted to eat more.”

“…”

“Why did you leave so hastily if you didn’t notice anything?” Yang Jian asked.

“Didn’t you say there was a problem with that restaurant? If you say there’s a problem, then there must be a problem,” Zhang Wei said. “Since there’s a problem, let’s not eat anymore. It’s just one meal wasted. Besides, I have to go to work tomorrow, and I’ll have plenty of money in the future.”

Miao Xiaoshan asked, “Yang Jian, what problem did you notice just now?”

“Maybe we ate flies in the dishes,” Yang Jian said, looking at Shangguan Yun who was walking beside him.

Shangguan Yun’s face turned black. “Just say what you want to say. Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Can’t I appreciate your handsome face?” Zhang Wei said.”There were only four of us in the private room at the beginning, but Miao Xiaoshan and Shangguan Yun arrived halfway through the meal. They didn’t take their seats, but I saw a fifth set of chopsticks and bowls on the table. Do you think there’s something wrong with that room? You should know that apart from the waiter, no fifth person entered the room. But how could the waiter eat outside?” Yang Jian said.

“Damn, I knew there was something off about that room. It felt so cold, I thought it was just the air conditioning. Turns out the place is haunted.” Zhang Wei almost jumped up in fright.

“No way.” Miao Xiaoshan covered her mouth, her eyes wide.

Yang Jian said, “We can’t confirm it’s a supernatural event, but we can’t completely deny it either. I didn’t mention it because I was afraid you would panic and accidentally trigger a possible supernatural event.”

“As long as nothing happened at that time, as long as there are no accidents, nothing will happen next. We will leave the restaurant as if nothing happened.”

“That’s the safest approach.”

Haunted?

Cousin Shangguan Yun laughed when he heard this: “I find it funny to see you all so serious. You’re all grown-ups, and you believe in such things? Just because there’s an extra set of chopsticks and bowls on the table, you think the hotel is haunted. Your imagination is too rich. It’s a pity you’re not writing.”

“Cousin, Yang Jian is doing this for our good. And what if it’s true? You can’t laugh at others.” Miao Xiaoshan said.

“Sorry, I couldn’t help it. But you guys are quite amusing, very childish. In a few days, you’re going to study in another province. You should have less contact with your classmates. Judging by their behavior, they don’t study well and always daydream. How can they concentrate on their studies?”

Zhang Wei was not happy. He said, “What are you talking about? What does our relationship have to do with you? If you don’t like to listen, then don’t. Also, didn’t Miao Xiaoshan tell your family about the incident at school last time?”

“She did, but they didn’t believe her.” Miao Xiaoshan said embarrassingly.

“Right, it’s hard to explain some things to someone with your cousin’s intelligence.”

Zhang Wei said, “We can’t argue with idiots, or they’ll drag us down to their level and beat us with their rich experience.”

Zhao Lei also sneered, “Shangguan Yun, there are some things you’d better believe. Why do you think only seven of us survived out of more than forty students in our class?”

“The truth doesn’t lie.”

“The truth doesn’t lie, that’s right, but I believe in science more.” Shangguan Yun said unhappily, “Ghost stories are just nonsense.”

Yang Jian was not angry, he just said, “It’s okay, we can agree to disagree. It’s hard to believe in supernatural events unless you see them with your own eyes. It’s not easy to change the perception that has been formed over decades. We don’t need to argue over this small matter. Besides, this is our last gathering. We probably won’t be able to hold a reunion in the future. Let’s just enjoy ourselves.”

He didn’t think Shangguan Yun was wrong.

This is a common thought, very normal. After all, supernatural events are still only occurring on a small scale and have not completely spiraled out of control.

Ghosts are still not a mainstream idea, they are just urban legends and stories circulating in certain circles.

“But it’s fine now. By the way, your cousin just said you’re going to study in another province, is that true?” He asked again.

Miao Xiaoshan nodded, “Yes, the school has been closed down. I have to continue my studies, right? I plan to go back to my hometown to study. The college entrance examination is in a few months.”

“You’re still thinking about going to college?” Zhang Wei widened his eyes, “I dare not go to school anymore. You’re really brave.”

“What else can I do if I don’t go to college?”

Miao Xiaoshan said helplessly, “My family doesn’t agree.”

“You guys are really cultured.” Zhang Wei gave a thumbs up.

While they were chatting.

In the private room of the restaurant where they had been.

The waiter cleaned up the food on the table, then turned off the light and left the room.

The moment the door of the private room closed.

Through the gradually closing door gap, one could vaguely see a person sitting straight at the place where the fifth set of chopsticks and bowls had been placed. The person was motionless, immersed in the dim light, and his face was not clear.

“Bang~!”

The door gently closed, but there was suddenly the sound of dishes being used inside.
