Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2239 - 1000: Xia Hongyao: The Three of Us Are Geniuses, We’re Guaranteed to Win! (Part 2)
He thought about just chewing and not swallowing, but the old woman’s eyes, like those of a dead mackerel, were fixed on him, making him dare not to try anything clever.
The old woman saw the middle-aged man start eating and was satisfied, then she looked at the others: "Hurry up and eat!"
Lin Baici held the bowl, covering his mouth, pretended to take a bite, and immediately asked, "Granny, where’s your grandson?"
"Didn’t you say he loves the claypot rice you make?"
"Why is it so late, and he still hasn’t come home?"
Lin Baici was making small talk, trying to gloss over the meal.
Gu Qingqiu had intended to ask as well.
It was so late, and the grandma was the only one in the house, which was obviously abnormal!
"Yes, where’s my grandson?"
The grandma paused, turned her head to look at the clock on the wall: "That naughty boy, he must be playing at the amusement park!"
The grandma mumbled, stood up, and walked to the entrance.
Clearly, she was going to the amusement park to find her grandson.
Whew!
The middle-aged man and Liao Hongming sighed in relief.
"Follow her! Follow her!"
Xia Hongyao immediately got up: "Granny, shall I go with you to find your grandson?"
[Help her find her grandson, and you can pass the level!]
The grandma ignored Xia Hongyao, changed her shoes, and went out.
"Hurry up!"
Xia Hongyao urged.
Liao Hongming saw Lin Baici about to go, quickly grabbed him: "It’s too dangerous, let’s take this chance to escape?"
"You won’t get away!"
Lin Baici shook off Liao Hongming’s hand.
Everyone in the living room followed, even the middle-aged man who had just lost his lover, didn’t let his grief stop him, and went with everyone.
At this time, acting alone was absolutely doomed.
The amusement park was across a street from the grandma’s residential area, just a ten-minute walk away.
Now it was past ten in the evening, and besides a couple, there was no one else in sight.
"Little Sugar!"
"Little Sugar!"
The grandma shouted, wandering around the amusement park.
"Is this round a hide-and-seek game?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Xia Hongyao was thrilled: "Has the time finally come for me, Hongyao Sherlock Xia, to take the stage?"
"Watson, what do you think?"
Xia Hongyao raised an eyebrow at Lin Baici.
"Obviously, find her grandson and the contamination ends!"
The Cowgirl stood next to Lin Baici, seeming to consider herself part of this small group.
The grandma wandered three times, didn’t see her grandson, was a bit anxious, but still consoled herself.
"He should have taken another way home,"
The grandma muttered, hurrying back.
The middle-aged man saw Lin Baici and the others were going to follow back, and he wasn’t happy: "We’ve already escaped the tiger’s den, why go back?"
"Because we have to go back to pass the level!"
Xia Hongyao explained.
"But it’s too dangerous to follow this old lady."
The middle-aged man advised: "Let’s leave!"
"Yo, Slave Master, God Lin, Xia Hongyao, aren’t you all very strong? Just fight, can’t you just kill that old lady?"
The Black guy suggested in a rap-like tone: "This should be an easy level, kill the old thing and you’re through!"
Hoffman remained silent.
"That’s too devoid of skill!"
Xia Hongyao sneered, "The three smartest people of our Seventh Star, well, two are here, we’re sure to win."
"What do you think?"
The Black guy looked at the Cowgirl.
"If there’s no other choice at the end, it’ll still be time to act!"
The Cowgirl, hands in her pockets, followed Lin Baici, chatting with him continuously, clearly also carefree.
The Black guy shook his head and followed.
Liao Hongming wanted to go too, but the middle-aged man held him back.
"Why?"
Liao Hongming was confused.
"I can see it clearly now, these people must have something up their sleeves!"
The middle-aged man advised: "We don’t have anything, let’s not join the fun!"
"But..."
Liao Hongming was worried.
"No but, didn’t you see how my lover died?"
The middle-aged man’s voice trembled: "If that old lady hits you with a claypot, do you think they’d help you?"
"No!"
Liao Hongming shook his head.
"This is serious!"
The middle-aged man thought at least pulling someone else along to escape was safer, in case of an accident, someone could discuss or take the blame.
"Let’s go!"
The middle-aged man dragged Liao Hongming away: "There’s danger, let them go up. Isn’t it better for us to just pick up what’s left?"
Liao Hongming thought so too. Last time, he survived by leeching off Lin Baici’s benefits.
This time it’s probably similar.
"Let’s find a safe place, hide, and try not to go out."
The two hunched over, sneaking away.
...
"Little Candy!"
The old woman returned home, opened the door, and started shouting, but no one responded.
Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu standing at the door exchanged a glance.
"No escape, the mission objective is to find her missing grandson!"
Xia Hongyao rubbed her hands, recalling the room layout, maybe there’s a clue.
"My grandson is missing?"
The old woman panicked, went to find the phone, wanted to call the police.
"Old lady, don’t worry, we’ll help you find your grandson!"
Hoffman quickly stepped forward: "Do you have a family photo or album, let me see!"
"Yes!"
The old woman quickly pulled out several albums from the cabinet and handed them to Hoffman.
Everyone gathered around.
"This was taken just last year!"
The photos were well protected.
"Your son and daughter-in-law?"
Xia Hongyao asked.
"They’re working abroad!"
The old woman introduced her family situation, then frowned: "Why are two people missing?"
"I made claypot rice, it’ll go to waste!"
The old woman mumbled, heading out the door.
"Old lady, we’ll go help you find your grandson!"
Cowgirl took the opportunity to head out.
Just leave this house first.
"Thank you!"
The old woman thanked them: "By the way, if you can’t find my grandson in three days, I’ll make you into claypot rice!"
A light remark, yet filled with intense murderous intent.
...
In a 24-hour convenience store, Liao Hongming and the middle-aged man hid behind the shelves, watching the cashier’s actions, preparing to steal some food.
The middle-aged man pretended to be picking merchandise, walked inward, but as he turned a shelf, he saw the old woman hunched over, head held high, staring at him.
"What the hell!"
The middle-aged man was startled, broke into a cold sweat, just about to explain, but the old woman stabbed over with a kitchen knife.
Thud!
The kitchen knife plunged into the middle-aged man’s stomach.
Thud! Thud!
The old woman stabbed him multiple times, blood splattering everywhere.
"..."
Liao Hongming was stunned.
He regretted it to death now; he should have followed Lin Baici.
He wanted to run, but reason told him running would mean death!
Because clearly, the old woman had a way to quickly find them.
The old woman stabbed the middle-aged man to death, holding the dripping knife, came to Liao Hongming.
At this moment, Liao Hongming unexpectedly had a stroke of inspiration, thought of an excuse: "I... I’m out helping you find your grandson!"
"Did you find him?"
The old woman asked.
"Uh..."
Liao Hongming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Not... not yet!"
"I’ll give you one day, if you can’t find my grandson, you won’t live either!"
The old woman finished speaking and left.
Once she exited the convenience store, Liao Hongming’s trembling legs couldn’t hold up anymore, collapsing to the ground.
Really freaking scary!
Then Liao Hongming began to blame and regret, Brother Lin, where did you go?
Relying on oneself, how could he find that old woman’s grandson in one day?
This time is really curtains.
Thinking of this, Liao Hongming got up, found a piece of bread, and began munching.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The shop assistant noticed him and came over.
"Screw you!"
I’m going to die tomorrow, am I afraid of you?
Liao Hongming defiantly charged at the skinny shop assistant, first having a go, venting off, then taking some money, going to have a feast.
At least not die hungry.
Liao Hongming knew he wasn’t capable enough, now he could only hope Lin Baici finds that missing child in one day.
