Big Beard was the owner of the restaurant.
It was open every night.
However, there would always be one or two robberies every month.
That wasn't a high number. In fact, Big Beard had even been robbed seven days in a week.
Of course, there were successful robberies and failed robberies.
Most of the time, Big Beard would take out the gun he hid under the cashier and the robbers would run away.
Big Beardy could tell where Vicari and Sam were from just by looking at them.
But Chen Zhao couldn't tell.
Judging from Chen Zhao's clothes, he should be rich.
He just didn't understand why he would hang out with people like Sam and Vicari.
But they didn't have the intention to rob.
Big Beard wasn't as vigilant as before.
After Chen Zhao's invitation, he sat down and started chatting with Chen Zhao.
"There used to be a toll station on the Cibrook Coast Highway, but it's long been closed and abandoned," Big Beard said. "Drivers passing by often see people at the abandoned toll station. I've seen them before too."
"I know," Sam immediately interrupted. Sam immediately interrupted and said, "It's said that more than 20 years ago, there was a tragic car accident at the toll booth on that highway. At that time, there were more than a dozen cars queuing at the toll booth. In the end, a tanker full of fuel was loaded directly into the toll booth. As a result, the staff at the toll booth and more than a dozen waiting cars were all set on fire. More than 30 people died.
"Yes," Sam said. "The toll station was demolished not long after, but a stop at the edge of the highway has been kept. The government says it's to commemorate the victims of the accident." The bearded man said, "But there are also rumors that the place is haunted. Every time the construction team tries to demolish it, they encounter an accident, so they never touch the station entrance again. The road has been diverted for a few hundred meters, but the passing vehicles can still see the station entrance. I once passed by that road and saw a figure at the roadside station."
"Apparently, they're the victims at the toll station. They don't know they're dead, so they keep wandering there."
Everyone's interest was piqued, and they began to speak one after another about the paranormal incidents that they had either heard about or experienced personally.
Of course, with Chen Zhao's knowledge, he could tell that most of it was fake.
But there were a few that he couldn't tell if they were real or fake.
For example, he couldn't find any flaws in the toll station.
But he couldn't tell if it was real or fake before he confirmed it himself.
After all, it wasn't difficult to fabricate a more realistic supernatural event.
"Boss, it's been a pleasure chatting with you." Picking up a burger, Chen Zhao stood up and stuffed a hundred-dollar bill into Beardy's hand. At the same time, he called out to Sam and Vicari, "Let's go."
"Sir, if you come again tomorrow night, I will continue to tell you stories." The bearded man was very happy.
Not only did he kill time, but he also earned tips.
Sam and Vikari were cautious as they left the restaurant.
Actually, at this time, they wanted to escape.
But since Chen Zhao didn't want to let them go, there was nothing they could do.
"Do you have cars?" Chen Zhao asked.
"This …"
Both Sam and Vikari wanted to say no.
As a matter of fact, they had a small old car.
"I'll stay in New Orleans for a while. I wanted to hire you for $500 a day, but since you don't have a car, forget it." With that, he turned to leave. "Okay, I'm leaving. Bye."
The two immediately caught up. "Yes, we have a car. We have a car."
What a joke, the two of them robbed for a few days, but they still couldn't get five hundred dollars.
Usually, each successful robbery would only get a few hundred dollars. Sometimes, it was even less.
They could make do with this bit of money for a few days.
Then, when they ran out of money, they would rob again.
This was basically their daily life.
They didn't succeed every time.
Now, Chen Zhao was going to hire them.
Plus, it was $500 a day.
This one was much easier than robbing others.
It was also much less risky.
"Sir, what do you want us to do?"
"I want to go to the locations of the supernatural events you mentioned."
Sam and Vikari exchanged glances.
What exactly did this rich guy want to do?
But it wasn't hard at all.
They'd thought that Chen Zhao wanted them to do something risky.
They didn't expect this.
They already thought that Chen Zhao was a rich guy looking for excitement.
That was all. What did they have to hesitate about?
Soon, Sam and Vikari got into the car with Chen Zhao.
The first place they went was the Seabrook Coastal Highway.
After half an hour, they reached their destination.
Sam parked the car by the side of the road and looked at a sentry box dozens of meters away.
"That's the original toll station."
Chen Zhao sat in the car and looked at the abandoned toll station in the distance.
As expected, there was an unusual aura.
"Sir, do you want to go take a look?"
"No need," Chen Zhao said. "Let's go to the next place."
With Chen Zhao's eyesight, he could tell at a glance if there were any supernatural events or not.
There was an unusual aura here that couldn't escape Chen Zhao's eyes.
Sam and Vikari didn't know what Chen Zhao was planning.
But now that Chen Zhao was their employer, they naturally listened to him.
Then, the two drove and took Chen Zhao to many places.
There were about a third of the places with real supernatural events.
"Is there any place you haven't been to?"
"Sir, we've been to all of them," Sam and Vikari said.
"By the way, I remember a few days ago, one of our friends said that something happened to his girlfriend's family. His girlfriend's entire family went crazy, except for his girlfriend who was with him at the time. The police reported that they accidentally ate hallucinogenic and poisonous food. However, his girlfriend doesn't seem to be normal these days. She doesn't dare to go home recently."
"Do you know where she lives?"
"Yes."
"Then let's go take a look."
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside a house in a community.
There was a dim light in the house and the curtains were drawn.
"That's weird. Is there someone living here?"
"Could it be Banka's girlfriend who came home?"
"Didn't I hear that his girlfriend has been staying with him recently?"
Chen Zhao could feel that there were two evil spirits in the house. They were very fierce ones.
Also, what Sam and Vikari saw wasn't light.
It was real will-o '-the-wisp!
But Chen Zhao didn't plan on subduing them for now.
Anyway, there was no one living in the house.
"I'll give you a mission," Chen Zhao said. "Sam, from tomorrow onwards, wait outside the house and see if anyone comes in. If a stranger enters or leaves, remember to follow that person. Vikari, go to the Seabrook toll station and keep watch. It's the same. Here's a thousand dollars for today's work. Send me back to the hotel now."
