Free Web NovelChapter 173: Chapter 33 Kayako: Come hit me!
Chen Ze let out a yawn, Betty had just gone back, now he was the only one in the restaurant.
"Really, I don’t know what’s going on. Lafra had to go back too," Chen Ze scratched his head, and not long after sending Naruto away, Lafra also left, which completely ruined his plan to watch a movie with her.
"Close up, close up," Chen Ze yawned again. For some reason, he felt especially sleepy today.
The sound of the wind chime and the empty door left Chen Ze a bit confused. The door was pushed open, there was no doubt about that, but the strange thing was, no customers came in.
"What’s happening here? Could it be there’s something wrong with the door?" Chen Ze fiddled with the door in confusion. Finding no issues, he didn’t make a big deal out of it, closed the door, locked it up, and prepared to head upstairs to sleep.
But just as he turned around, Chen Ze heard a very familiar voice coming from the stairwell, "Croak...croak, croak..."
Chen Ze’s mouth twitched slightly. Now he understood, indeed a customer had come in, an uninvited guest, one who was not very friendly or perhaps lacked intelligence.
Chen Ze helplessly moved a chair to sit in the middle of the restaurant, resting his chin on his hand. Then, he took out his phone, pointed it at the stairwell with interest; he was curious to see if he could capture the scene. If he could, then Chen Ze would post it online, and it would definitely cause a sensation.
However, he supposed it would also bring a lot of astonishment, given that such realistic virtual reality technology was still hard to come by.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Miss Kayako appeared with her familiar makeup and expression, as well as her signature movements and special sounds, crawling down from the stairwell and twisting her face as she approached Chen Ze. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Chen Ze checked his phone and felt a bit disappointed. Miss Kayako’s magnificent beauty wasn’t captured on his phone.
"Hey, are you annoying or what? You should know you can’t threaten me, right?" Chen Ze irritably looked at Kayako, who had crawled up in front of him and was then trapped by the Magic Circle.
As expected, there was no response. She just stared at him with eyes full of resentment, which annoyed Chen Ze a bit. Even if one had a great deal of courage, constantly being watched by a blood-stained woman with a look of animosity would be somewhat uncomfortable.
"I refuse to believe this," Chen Ze said, a bit aggravated. This time he didn’t plan to kill Kayako directly using the Magic Circle’s power. Instead, he decided to just keep her locked up in the restaurant to see if there was a way to resolve the situation.
Chen Ze rubbed his stomach. He was feeling a bit hungry. Although he had eaten his own cooking in the evening, he was hungry again now. Chen Ze decided to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything he could make to eat.
Chen Ze rifled through the fridge and storage cabinet. There were plenty of ingredients, but Chen Ze wasn’t sure what to cook. Then he saw a pack of instant noodles that had been in the storage cabinet for several weeks.
"Pork bone ramen, huh..." Chen Ze took out the pack of instant noodles, from a certain master’s brand. He liked this flavor, not just because they were instant noodles, but because of the soup. The flavor of the instant noodle soup was rich, which made it one of Chen Ze’s favorites.
Chen Ze stood up contentedly, then just as he turned around, he saw Kayako staring at him, face to face.
Chen Ze, furious, put the instant noodles aside on a nearby cabinet, then restrained Kayako with the power of the Magic Circle, and used Magical Energy to give her a good thrashing. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
But it was of no use. Although the Magical Energy could hit Kayako, if she was attacked too much, she would simply vanish and then reappear somewhere else.
If you hit her lightly, Kayako doesn’t feel a thing and will keep staring at you with those dead fish eyes.
"You... you coward... If you like staring so much, why don’t you go compete in a staring contest?" Chen Ze, panting, patted his leg and looked at Kayako as she appeared again from the staircase, sighing helplessly.
Chen Ze shook his head; he decided to cook his instant noodles first. After getting some exercise, he was hungry again.
There aren’t many ways to eat instant noodles, and Chen Ze usually boils water in a small pot, puts the noodle cake in once the water is boiling, and then prepares the seasoning in a separate bowl to pour over the cooked noodles afterward.
The advantage of this is that you don’t have to wait for the noodles to soak, and somehow the boiled noodles always seem to taste better than the soaked ones.
The downside is that washing dishes is a hassle. If possible, Chen Ze would actually prefer to use boxed instant noodles and just throw them away after eating.
Before long, Chen Ze had placed his prepared instant noodles on the table; he sniffed them, and the aroma was very rich.
"It’s good that I roasted some pork belly too. Without meat, eating instant noodles always seems a bit weird." Chen Ze picked up his chopsticks contentedly, and then saw Kayako crawling out from under the table, staring at him fixedly.
"Keep staring if you want; you can’t do anything to me anyway." Chen Ze was indifferent; he now found that he had developed some resistance to Kayako. Indeed, humans are creatures of incredible adaptability.
Kayako crawled onto the table, her eyes fixated on Chen Ze.
"What? You want a bowl too? Should I cook some for you to eat, huh?" Chen Ze suddenly thought that he might be able to reform Kayako, and then she would show a healed expression and become a good... good ghost.
"You must want to eat it, right?~ Look, although the soup isn’t as good as the one I make, it’s still pretty decent, and the pork belly is fatty without being greasy~" Chen Ze picked up a chopstick full of instant noodles and stuffed them into his mouth.
The noodles were a bit long, still hanging into the soup.
Kayako watched him silently, then abruptly opened her mouth, and a blood-drenched tongue fell out, dropping into Chen Ze’s bowl.
"...." The kitchen fell into an eerily quiet moment.
"Damn it!" Chen Ze stood up angrily, controlling the Magic Circle to completely obliterate Kayako.
Only after confirming that there were no other reactions in the entire dining room did Chen Ze, with an annoyed look, dump the contents of the bowl. Though the tongue was gone and the bowl looked normal, Chen Ze had lost all desire to eat.
Chen Ze glanced at the dining room’s main door; he had a premonition that Miss Kayako would pay another visit. After all, as long as Ju-On’s main body remained, it didn’t matter how many times Kayako’s avatars died.
"Next time I see her, I’ll make sure she tastes the iron fist of Justice." Chen Ze clenched his fists in anger, resolving to get in shape. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the strength to fight ghosts.
