My Restaurant's Guests are All Abnormal

Chapter 601: Chapter 461: Evil Ghost

Chen Ze didn’t know what to say. Frankly, he had never considered what to do if such an event occurred, and furthermore, shouldn’t humans inherently harbor goodwill towards others?

Yet, in this environment, what Chen Ze saw was malice—unabashed and infuriating malice. The onlookers below were like devils crawling out from the Underworld, incessantly causing a ruckus and leaving not a trace of kindness for this poor child to feel.

Chen Ze once heard a saying, when a person wants to give up on themselves, the motivation that sustains them is the longing for others’ love.

Unfortunately, the world is cruel. A girl was being held by a gentle hand, but below her were countless devils trying to drag her into the abyss, to put a definite end to her life, eventually becoming fodder for social media videos and gossip during conversations.

Chen Ze truly didn’t know how to comment; this world shouldn’t be like this. Shouldn’t encouragement be offered to the girl at this time? Shouldn’t a hand be extended to grab hers, to help her strive to survive?

As he watched the black characters continuously swirling around the girl, Chen Ze suddenly understood something—the reason why the girl could not rid herself of her burden might be due to the comments of others.

"Other people are indeed Hell..." Chen Ze sighed. He had just tried to use the Magic Circle to dissipate the gas surrounding the girl, then he realized that if he did, he might accidentally obliterate the girl’s spiritual body along with it.

It was a gamble, but Chen Ze couldn’t afford to lose, because if he did, the girl would also become a casualty. Although success would certainly be cause for celebration, Chen Ze didn’t want to find out what the outcome might be.

"Betty," Chen Ze said, looking at the girl whose surroundings were becoming increasingly filled with black text, swirling around her faster and faster.

"Manager?" Betty turned with tearful eyes to look at Chen Ze, not sure what to say. She too had seen the girl’s plight and felt an impulse to unleash a destructive death ray on the devils below.

"What kind of dessert do you think is delicious?" Chen Ze pinched his hand, thinking that today he could expand the dessert options for the patrons significantly. After all, he was almost done giving out the dragon beard candy; making a thousand more wouldn’t be too excessive, right?

"I think," Betty said happily with a smile, "the manager’s kindness is the warmest of all!" She instantly understood Chen Ze’s intention.

"Hmm, I feel the same way," Chen Ze smiled and then walked into the kitchen.

Chen Ze didn’t know how to untangle the girl’s mental knot, but as the chef of Dream Restaurant, he had his own method of resolution, and now, Chen Ze was going to solve the problem in his own way.

"Let me think..." Chen Ze stroked his chin. In fact, while he was outside just now, he had already thought of a solution. By leveraging the Dessert Master’s passive ability, he could create a dessert capable of resolving the girl’s issues.

Still, Chen Ze was pondering what kind of dessert would be best to make.

"How about a heart-shaped matcha cake?" Chen Ze quickly decided on the dessert to make for the day.

Matcha cake is naturally a popular dessert, but unlike ordinary sweets, matcha’s unique flavor divides dessert lovers. Those who adore it can’t get enough, while those who dislike it feel nauseated at the sight of it.

However, Chen Ze didn’t mind as he chose to use matcha cake because he wanted to create a dessert that embodied the sentiment of attaining sweetness after bitterness as a form of blessing for this girl, hoping she would find a good place to belong.

Meanwhile, Betty stood outside, her face filled with melancholy as she watched the girl before her.

The black miasma around the girl had become denser. Where before one could see the girl covering her face to cry, now she was almost invisible, and the dark words kept multiplying. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"What kind of devils are these..." Betty sighed, as the words that appeared became increasingly outrageous.

All sorts of insults and mockery from social media manifested continuously, firmly binding the girl and instilling an inexplicable fear in Betty.

"Honored One, I hate to disturb you... Hm?" The door opened, and then Betty saw Xie BiAn and Fan Wujiu come in, looking at the dark circle before them with surprise.

"Welcome to Dream Restaurant, esteemed guests, what would you like to eat today?" Betty walked over with a smile, although she was worried about the girl’s safety, she still needed to attend to her guests.

"Evil spirits." Fan Wujiu looked at the black object, resembling a cicada chrysalis, with a trace of disgust in his eyes.

"Yes, it’s quite unexpected to find such a thing here at the Honored One’s place." Xie BiAn bowed slightly to Betty with a smile, then walked over and stretched out his hand to touch the black words.

"Hmm... such malice, it’s quite rare to see." Xie BiAn seemed surprised.

"Um... esteemed guests, what are you talking about?" Betty was a bit confused, feeling like when the whole class is debating whether the answer to a math question is 34 or 35 and she calculates 298.

"Evil spirits, of course, not the ordinary kind, but souls entangled by malice and unable to transcend, we also call them evil spirits," Xie BiAn explained, seeing Betty’s blank expression.

"But such spiritual bodies, they were rare in ancient times, though seem to be more frequent nowadays," Xie BiAn shook his head and sighed.

"The manager has gone to cook, he can definitely solve her problem!" Betty reassured herself with confidence, and in fact, as long as Chen Ze wanted to address an issue, she had never seen a case he couldn’t resolve. ƒrēewebnovel.com

"If the Honored One takes action, it certainly is the best," Xie BiAn said with a smile, sitting down, while Fan Wujiu also nodded and took a seat next to him.

Xie BiAn had been considering whether to use the Buddhist Relic given to him by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to help the spiritual body overcome the malice, but since Chen Ze had taken it upon himself, Xie BiAn naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to intervene.

When someone else is ready to help, if you still insist on interfering, it might cause trouble. Whether living as a human or existing as a ghost, having tact is very important, a lesson Xie BiAn had learned in the Underworld.
