Chapter 16 Li Bo's Troubles

What's wrong with these diners?

They all looked at Chen Ke with angry eyes, as if they had a grudge against him for killing his father. Regardless of so much, Chen Ke grabbed the boss and walked towards the door.

A white man stood up from his seat and stood in the aisle between the tables, blocking Chen Ke and the door.

The white man was nearly 2 meters tall, with a pair of eyes bulging out like a toad, and he had a very serious skin disease, with noodles and saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth. The white sportswear he was wearing had turned yellow because it had not been washed for a long time, and it was still emitting a fishy smell.

"Excuse me." Chen Ke said unceremoniously.

"Um... Oh..." The man said incoherently, and the noodle residue that had not been swallowed in his mouth dripped on his clothes, which was very disgusting.

Chen Ke didn't want to do it. After all, everyone in this noodle shop was a civilian, and killing was the worst option.

What Chen Ke wanted was to force this strange man back without doing it, or even without making any physical movements.

It was just right to try the effect of the murderous trigger.

A murderous aura rose up in Chen Ke's body, and the light red airflow that only Chen Ke could see rushed towards the man frantically. The airflow was a concrete portrayal of murderous aura. It rotated around the man's head, and then, like a rope, it was tightly tied around the man's forehead and soaked into the man's skin.

"Murderous aura: 45/50"

In an instant, the man trembled unnaturally as if he had been greatly stimulated, his legs softened, and he fell on the seat next to him.

Previously in the gun shop in Pihom, Chen Ke consumed 20 murderous auras to shock the black bodyguard. It seems that the consumption will increase according to the opponent's resistance.

The more ruthless people are, the harder they are to scare. The greater the threat to oneself, the more life and murderous aura will increase.

"If you refuse to accept charity, why don't you leave quietly?"

At this time, a female diner said to Chen Ke.

The female diner was wearing a black sportswear, petite, messy brown long hair like weeds, pockmarks all over her face, yellow whites of her eyes, and pupils like dead fish eyes without luster.

"What's it got to do with you?" Chen Ke said coldly, dragging the man with glasses out of the noodle shop under the gaze of the diners.

In the alley on the side of the noodle shop, he pushed the man with glasses to the wall and took out the Colt Python.

"Listen, I ask you questions and you answer them. Don't talk nonsense and don't lie to me. If you dare to lie to me, I will shoot your balls. Do you understand?"

Chen Ke stepped on the tilted trash can next to him, with his right elbow on his knees, and the muzzle of the Colt Python was casually aimed at the man with glasses between his legs.

The man with glasses nodded frantically with a look of horror, and subconsciously covered his balls.

"Peng You, explain, what mysterious formula did you add to this noodle?" Chen Ke asked.

"Wait... Are you from the Administration? How do you know..." The man with glasses hesitated and looked around with some fear.

Chen Ke smelled a hint of conspiracy, he pulled the hammer of the revolver, and the cartridge of the python turned a little.

"I didn't poison you, I promise! There's absolutely nothing wrong with my noodles!" The man with glasses was so scared that his legs went weak when he heard the sound of bullets being loaded.

"You're lying." Chen Ke raised the gun with one hand, ready to shoot.

"I promise you I didn't poison you! Damn it, you have to believe me! I'm also a victim!"

The man with glasses fell to his knees, almost kowtowed to Chen Ke.

Chen Ke had a guess that the diners were cursed by distortion after eating noodles, and then slowly turned into the monsters in Pihom's photos. At least that's what it looked like, but the diners couldn't explain their murderous intent.

Could it be the mind control effect brought by the curse?

But the man with glasses didn't look like he was lying, and he didn't reveal any murderous intent. If he had the ability to curse, he must not be a pure human.

Judging from the current situation, the man with glasses should really be just an ordinary person, and also a victim involved in this strange incident.

"Then tell me everything you know." Chen Ke put down the gun and ordered.

The man with glasses looked around the alley again and again, and only after confirming that no one was watching this side did he complain to Chen Ke.

It turned out that the man with glasses was called Li Bo, and he was the owner of the noodle shop. He has been running a noodle shop locally for five years. With his excellent craftsmanship and reasonable prices, Haomaiwu has also gained a little fame in the downtown area of ​​Opportunity City.

But a few months ago, the reputation of the noodle shop took a sharp turn for the worse. Many diners complained to Li Bo that the noodles they ordered were stinking and felt like shoelaces in their mouths.

Li Bo certainly didn't believe it, because although he was the boss, he also cooked in person, and he naturally knew what the other two chefs were doing.

He checked the customer's noodles and found that there was nothing wrong with them, so he argued with the customer. In Li Bo's opinion, the other party was making trouble for no reason, and in the customer's opinion, Li Bo was deceiving customers.

In the end, the two sides had to call the police to ask the county police to deal with it.

It was thought that the county police would arrest the unreasonable diner on the charge of "causing trouble", but something unexpected happened. As soon as the county police entered the noodle shop, he pinched his nose and asked Li Bo why there was a foul smell coming from the kitchen.

Li Bo was stunned at the time. He cooked in front of the county police and the guests. The county police also checked the ingredients. However, after the noodles were cooked, the two still said that the bowl of noodles exuded a foul smell.

The county policeman pinched his nose, took a mouthful of noodles, and spit it out on the spot. However, due to insufficient evidence and no problem with the ingredients, the county policeman could not make a conclusion, so he could only give a verbal warning and asked Li Bo to return the customer's noodles money. Finally, he pinched his nose and left.

From that day on, the business of Haomaiwu took a sharp turn for the worse. No matter how much the price was reduced, it was powerless to save the situation. Many people who passed by the store would pinch their noses and walk away, as if the noodles really exuded some kind of stench that Li Bo could not smell.

However, not long after, sporadic homeless people began to come to patronize. Li Bo provided cheap noodles at super low prices, but the meager income made him unable to continue, and he finally chose to close the store.

However, on the night of closing the store, he and his family were entangled by several skinny monsters. They wandered at the door of Li Bo's house every night, and used knives to carve threatening slogans such as "If you don't open the door, you will die" on the walls and doors of the aisle.

He never thought that this was a prank by the homeless, because through the cat's eye on the door, Li Bo could see the appearance of those monsters, they were skinny, like mummies without bandages.

He was forced to reopen the store, but at the same time he contacted the county police and the Psychic Administration.

However, after several days of investigation without any progress, the county police felt that Li Bo was making trouble for no reason. In addition, he was an Asian, and the efficiency and attitude of the county police were even worse, so they soon stopped caring about it.

The Psychic Administration was even more perfunctory. They only recorded what Li Bo said on the other end of the phone and did not ask about it again. In a rage, Li Bo had to spend his own money to find a psychic enterprise to hire a private investigator to deal with this matter.

A female investigator also smelled a foul odor when she came to the noodle shop. At first, she was very enthusiastic about this matter, but as the investigation time increased, Li Bo's financial pressure became greater and greater, and he gradually could not afford the expenses of the investigators, who were paid by the day! In the end, when the commission could not be guaranteed, the female investigator also chose to give up.
