"Uh..."

  The half-faced ghost, now just a head, couldn't see what had happened.

  The head rolled on the ground, staring with blood-red eyes at the little girl, its voice almost a roar.

  "Little brat, today you must die!!"

  Crash!!

  As soon as the words fell.

  A dull thud erupted in the restaurant, and immediately, the ceiling began to shake, tless cracks appeared, and pster fell in ks.

  All the guests looked terrified, quickly standing up to leave the restaurant.

  The guests from the sed floor were ing down!

  The half-faced ghost wasn't joking; it indeed khe guests from the sed floor.

  And their status was extremely high!

  At the staircase leading to the sed floor, a thick ghost aura emerged, and the handrails visibly corroded, clearly indig that something terrifying was ing down.

  Qin Nuo was stunned.

  What kind of monsters were these sed-fluests?

  Did they need such a grarance just to e downstairs?

  "Huang Liang, I was just having a meal, and you've brought me trouble again?"

  A voice echoed in the first-floor restaurant.

  "I just ordered a dish, but this rat wouldn't make it, and this little brat stole my ingredients aroyed my body!"

  The faceless ghost seemed very afraid of the ghost from the sed floor, speaking in a panic, trying to appear i.

  The bck aura in the hallway remained silent.

  In the restaurant, all the guests held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

  They looked at the bck aura with fear and humility.

  Qin Nuo had seen this look before.

  Just like when Wang Yang looked at them.

  Soon.

  The ghost from the sed floor seemed to have made a decision, speaking in a hoarse voice: "This is the st time I'll stand up for you, there won't be a ime."

  As the voice fell, a withered rge hand reached directly for the little girl!

  Crash!

  The chair and table where the little girl was sitting flew out.

  All the guests almost withe se of the girl being crushed into a pulp.

  However, in the sed, the hand recoiled as if electrocuted!

  A figure had appeared in front of the little girl at some unknown time.

  ed in bandages from head to toe, wearing a suit, exuding an eerie ghost aura.

  "Miss, are you alright?" the suited bandage ghost asked.

  The ghost from the sed floor suddenly realized something, its voice low and tinged with fear: "Who are you people?"

  The little girl ignored her, holding a baby, and smiled, "I'll call you Little One from now on, okay? e home with sister, there's a big sister waiting too!"

  The disregard made the ghost from the sed floor even more apprehensive, tinuing to speak: "I won't interfere in your matters, I apologize for the earlier offense!"

  "I'll leave right away!"

  With that, the bck aura rapidly dissipated, and the ghost from the sed floor retreated upstairs as if fleeing.

  The little girl gestured to the suited bandage ghost, who then walked towards the staircase a up to the sed floor.

  "See you ime, big brother."

  The little girl wi Qin Nuo.

  The faceless ghost, now just a head on the ground, looked at the little girl in horror: "You..."

  Before it could finish speaking, the little girl stomped down, and the head exploded like a rotten watermelon, scattering debris everywhere.

  "Wele ime."

  After the little girl left, the atmosphere in the restaurant still hadn't eased.

  The guests all looked towards the staircase leading to the sed floor.

  Soon, the suited bandage ghost came dowairs, holding a bloody, lifeless head, clearly belonging to the ghost from the sed floor.

  As it desded, only its footsteps echoed in the restaurant, and the guests kept their distance.

  As it passed Qin Nuo, the suited bandage ghost suddenly stopped and handed a card to Qin Nuo.

  "The miss said you e here if you need anything."

  Qin Nuo took the card, which bore a bd gold rose, both enting and ghostly!

  Below was an address, and nothing else.

  When he looked up again, the suited bandage ghost had vanished.

  The restaurant seemed aced to such occurrences, quickly returning to normal, and the guests resumed their meals as if nothing had happened.

  "Qin Nuo, are you alright?" Liu Jiaqi hurried rabbing Qin Nuo and asking worriedly.

  "Just a small se, did you see me panic?"

  "But, your pants are wet..."

  "That's just some soup I actally spilled."

  Soon, the closing bell rang.

  The restaurant guests gradually stood up ahe restaurant oer another.

  Ohe restaurant was quiet, Pinocchio cttered into the restaurant.

  First, it evaluated Liu Jiaqi's performaoday, then awarded her two 100 ghost currenotes.

  Then, it turo Qin Nuo: "Your performaoday oor, no rewards for you."

  "And, because of you, the restaurant suffered some losses, so you'll face appropriate punishment!"

  Hearing this, Qin Nuo's face darkened.

  No rewards was ohing.

  But punishment?

  "The guests at the first table were satisfied with my dish," Qin Nuo said coldly.

  "But your performa the sed table was terrible," Pinocchio replied.

  "That ghost never inteo eat my dish; it wao eat me."

  "So no matter how well I cooked, it wouldn't be satisfied!" Qin Nuued.

  "Regardless, you caused the restaurant losses. Tomorrow, I'll announce your punishment. Go home a well!"

  With that, Pinocchio left, but not before leaving a parting remark at the er.

  "Also, remember you're an employee of the restaurant, just a rat, know your pce!"

  The st sentence carried a clear warning.

  Qin Nuo's face remained sullen, saying nothing, but feeliremely frustrated inside.

  Damn it!

  One day, when I have the means, I'll buy this restaurant and chop you down, Pinocchio, for firewood!

  "Qin Nuo, cheer up, I'll treat you to something today, eat whatever you want," Liu Jiaqi said, holding two ghost currenotes, trying to cheer Qin Nuo up.

  Qin Nuo waved his hand: "No need for you to treat, someone else will."

  Liu Jiaqi uzzled.

  Besides the two of them, who else was there?

  Qin Nuo walked out of the restaurant and headed straight for the vending mae in the hallway.

  Last time, it was sawed all over by Qin Nuo's saw, and now, patched up, there were almost no traces of damage.

  However—

  Qin Nuo approached without a word, pulled out the Bone-Crushing Hammer, and started smashing it wildly.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Gss shattered, metal dented, fragments scattered!

  The vending mae ghost roared in anger: "Damn it, what did I do to provoke you again, whierve did I hit wrong?!"

  "You didn't provoke me, I'm just in a bad mood, and I o vent."

  "Old buddy, thanks!"

  With that, Qin Nuo tio smash, releasing all his pent-up frustration.

  "Screw you! Why should I care if you're in a bad mood?"

  "Brat, don't think I'm easy to bully, if you don't stop, I won't be polite!"

  The vending mae ghost tried to fight back but was kicked bato the er by Qin Nuo, obediently taking the beating.

  "This human, his ghost power has increased again!" the vending mae ghost was shocked to find it was no match for Qin Nuo anymore.

  Fag Qin Nuo's destru of its body, the vending mae ghost was both angry and frustrated.

  In just a few days, the tables had turned!

  Who would have thought, just three days ago, the vending mae ghost could still toy with Qin Nuo like a rat!

  After a while.

  Havied, Qin Nuo felt much better, put away the Bone-Crushing Hammer, sat on the ground, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

  Patting the battered vending mae, he said, "My hand's sore from smashing, give me a bottle of water, my throat's dry!"

  The vending mae ghost nearly went crazy at this.

  Ah!!

  This is just too much bullying of a ghost!!
