Chapter 1343: The opening of the show (I still have to drink salty tofu brain in the morning)


    Meijia took the two of them around the foreign restaurant, and Duanmuhuai understood why Meijia wanted to invite them.


    This place really feels very uncomfortable.


    To be honest, from the outside, this Western Restaurant is quite good and has a lot of lighting. It is not as dark and dim as many foreign houses. The glass dome and floor-to-ceiling windows bring enough light to the entire foreign house. Just taking photos will only make you feel that it is a gorgeous and bright scenery.


    But what if you really walk inside...that''s another matter.


    For example, the entire Western-style restaurant gives people the feeling of an operation room or a morgue. Although it is full of light, there is always a cold air that seems to be there and there is no place, even during the day, this feeling cannot be removed. Meijia said that before they came, she had been reading books outside in the garden - no wonder she didn''t like to stay here.


    Moreover, Mika''s parents couldn''t come back because they went abroad, so Mika is now alone here - the two maids are obviously not her companions. Duanmu Huai and Shajiuye also met another maid. According to Mika, the other party was the daughter of Sanchuan''s mother-in-law, a middle-aged woman in her thirties. She also had a stern face and rarely spoke. She looked solemn as if she was in a mourning hall...


    Are you having your birthday or a wake?


    “This place is really not suitable for birthdays.”


    After walking around, Duanmuhuai sat on the sofa in the reception room and gave his own opinions without hesitation.


    "I want to tell you that this place is more suitable for a mourning hall."


    "elder brother……!"


    "Ah hahaha, it''s okay, Shajiuye, I actually feel this way too."


    Mika stopped Shajiuye’s complaint with a wry smile.


    "Actually... no one likes here... unless it''s a birthday, no one will come."


    "Then why do you still have to celebrate your birthday here? Isn''t it enough to change the place?"


    Duanmu Huai doesn’t believe that there is no rebellious among the whole family. Are they all so obedient like a sheep?


    “…………”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai’s complaints, Meijia’s expression sank slightly, and then she looked around uneasy.


    "Actually... there was a person who thought this tradition was too stupid before, so he gave up the ceremony, but then... he died."


    "Dead?"


    "Yes."


    Meijia nodded vigorously, and her wrists that were holding the corner of her skirt turned a little white.


    "That was one of my distant cousins. When he was sixteen, he decided not to come here to celebrate his birthday, but to go to KTV with his classmates and sing all night."


    Well, this is very consistent with the characteristics of modern students, and it is common to go to KTV to celebrate your birthday.


    "But the next morning, when the waiter opened the door of the private room, he found that his cousin was dead. Not only him, but even his classmates who were in the private room with his cousin died. I heard that the scene was very cruel at that time, and everyone was disheartened..."


    "Is there such a thing?"


    Hearing this, Shajiuye''s face turned pale, while Mika nodded silently.


    "Yes, Bai Fan''s family spent a lot of money to suppress this matter, claiming that they were taking overdoses of drugs in the private room and killing each other... But we all know that this is not the truth. Because after this, everyone said that this was the punishment of the cousin''s violation of tradition..."


    So that''s it. No wonder everyone was reluctant, but they still followed this rule. After all, I only spend my sixteenth birthday alone once in my life. Even if I am reluctant, I will grit my teeth and pass. Although I don''t know whether it is true or not, it''s better than losing my life.


    Of course, you can also say it is a coincidence, but this is a matter of losing one''s life. There is only one life, and no one is willing to bet on their own lives, right?


    Not only that, according to Meijia, there are actually three rules in total.


    The first one is what she said before. Everyone in the Baifan family must spend their 16th birthday in this western restaurant.


    But this is not as simple as finding a place to celebrate your birthday in a foreign restaurant. There are two other rules.


    The second rule is that people who celebrate their birthdays must come to the Western Restaurant one day in advance and then stay in the innermost room on the east side of the second floor of the Western Restaurant.


    Yes, it''s a guest room.


    There are three floors in the Western Restaurant, the first floor mainly includes facilities such as restaurant, kitchen and entertainment room. The second floor is guest room, and the third floor is study room and master room. Meijia is from Bai Fan''s family and naturally has her own room in the foreign restaurant, but... it''s useless.


    She had to live in the room on the east side of the second floor the day before her birthday, and there was only one room on the entire east side, located at the end of the corridor. And you must live alone, and no one can be left on the entire east side, even in the corridor. Moreover, in order to prevent guests living on the west side from entering the east side, the middle is separated by an iron door, and only Sanchuan’s mother-in-law has the key.


    "That room must be big, right?"


    Hearing this, Shajiuye asked curiously, there were six rooms on the west side of the Western Pavilion, and Meijia had already taken them to see it. Basically, the layout of these rooms is similar to that of hotel rooms, all with a bathroom and a large bedroom, and then there are daily necessities such as desks and TVs.


    Well, to put it bluntly, this is actually no different from a hotel big bed room.


    There are three rooms on the left and right sides of the west corridor, a total of six. There is only one room on the east side, and the entrance is still at the innermost point, so naturally it can be imagined that the room should be much larger than Duanmuhuai and others.


    However……


    "No, the rooms I live in are no different from those you live in, they are all the same size."


    "Hey? Really? But it''s obviously such a big place..."


    "I don''t know either……"


    Meijia shook her head and continued to talk. Next, the third rule is that after entering the guest room at 10 o''clock the night before your birthday, the birthday boy is not allowed to come out again. It was not until twelve noon the next day that he could leave the guest room, and then the maid would open the closed iron door and take the birthday boy to the chapel in another hall, where he would celebrate his birthday.


    And after the birthday, the birthday boy must return to the east room before 10 pm and stay for another night. I won''t leave until twelve noon on the third day.


    “………………”


    After listening to Meijia''s introduction, Duanmu Huai and Shajiuye looked at each other in confusion.


    Is this my birthday?


    This is not a cult ceremony, right?


    And just celebrate your birthday well, why do you have to go to a church in another hall? Is the restaurant not good?


    No wonder Mika is so nervous, because that rebellious cousin happened last year, and it is her turn this year!


    Originally, Mika just thought it was a strange ceremony, but if someone died, the situation would naturally be different!


    But at this time, my parents went abroad because of busy work and did not return. The relatives who had never met several times a year could not count on them. The maids here were all stranger than the other, so there was no way that Mijia had to invite Duanmu Huai and Shajiuye to come. Even if you can''t help, it''s good to be brave.


    "That church is the other one? Can we go in and take a look?"


    "no."


    Meijia shook her head with a bitter face.


    "The key to the church is in the hands of the lady Ayabe. She said she can only open it on her birthday."


    Ms. Ayabe is the daughter of Mikawa''s mother-in-law, the serious woman in her thirties she saw before Duanmu Huai and Sajiuya.


    "Well………"


    Shajiuye had nothing to say. This was the first time she had seen such a strange birthday.


    The same is true for Duanmu Huai, what kind of mental illness is this.


    “Ah, by the way, Mika.”


    Recognizing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Shajiuye decisively changed the subject and took out a gift box from his bag.


    "This is a birthday gift, I wish you a happy birthday."


    "Thanks!"


    After taking the birthday gift, Meijia''s originally depressed expression also relaxed a little.


    “Can it be opened?”


    "certainly."


    After getting Shajiuye''s consent, Mika opened the birthday gift box and saw that there was a pair of quite unique earrings inside - well, a gift from a very young girl.


    Duanmu Huai nodded, then looked at Sha Jiuye looking at him, and was stunned.


    I want to give it to you too?


    "Well………"


    Faced with Sha Jiuye''s speechless urging, Duanmuhuai reached out, took out something in his arms, and handed it over.


    "Happy birthday to you."


    "Thank you, Mr. Duanmu, is this...pendant?"


    Meijia curiously took the gift from Duanmuhuai, which was somewhat surprised. It is obvious that this is a pendant, but the decoration on this pendant is a bit strange. Hanging under the metal chain is the symbol of a metal skull. In the eye sockets and mouth of this metal skull, several tentacles extend out from it and wrap around a warhammer. And the suction cups on these tentacles are the eyes that are opened one by one...


    "Brother, only boys will like this thing..."


    Seeing this, Shajiuye couldn''t help but complain. No wonder she said that. After all, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the most popular death heavy metal for boys with secondary diseases... It''s really inconsistent with Mika, a gentle and intellectual girl.


    "What do you know about every child? This is a talisman."


    Duanmuhuai rolled his eyes at Sha Jiuye and joked that this thing was an ornament injected with his own divine power, and it was not an exaggeration to say it was a divine weapon. Unless Meijia encounters the three illusion gods, relying on this pendant alone, no matter what the empty ghost eats the snake man worships the Yaki, they will be killed by humans and Buddhas, and no external gods at the next level will be birds.


    Of course, you will meet Shabu Nicholas or Nayaratotip and the like... Let''s take a shower and go to bed early.


    I hope I will be lucky in the next life.


    "Amulet? No matter how you look, it doesn''t look like amulet, right?"


    Shajiuye''s expression is also very wonderful. After all, no matter how you look at this thing, it looks like a curse item--well, it''s actually true.


    After all, Duanmu Huai transformed it with the old divine power.


    "Thank you, Mr. Duanmu, then I''ll accept it."


    But Mika obviously didn''t seem to care about these trivial matters. She picked up her necklace and hung it around her neck, then placed it under her coat, so that she would not be afraid of being seen.


    Seeing this, Shajiuye wanted to say something, suddenly a chaotic footsteps came, and then the door of the reception room was pushed open brutally.


    "Oh, hello, everyone."


    Then, a man walked in with a laugh.
