"I think I'll pass." Stan shook his head and walked back to his seat.
Chen Ze looked at Stan strangely. It wasn't that he was curious why Stan didn't want to eat. In Chen Ze's opinion, every customer had their own preferences. He wouldn't ask his customers to try new dishes.
Chen Ze was just curious. Stan seemed to have something on his mind today. Although Stan's face was expressionless, Chen Ze could feel that something was wrong with Stan.
"Maybe it's because I've had a nervous breakdown recently?" Chen Ze scratched his head.
"Uncle Store Manager …" Andrew and Elena walked down together and saw Stan with a gloomy face.
Andrew instinctively shielded Elena behind him. He didn't know why, but he felt that something was wrong with Stan. Whenever he saw Stan, he felt uncomfortable all over.
Stan turned his head and glanced at Andrew. This little boy had a pure power of Holy Light on him.
If there were no accidents, he would definitely become a high-level professional in the future.
But so what? Stan lowered his head. He was more interested in the Buffy in front of him.
"Andrew, Elena, come here. Let's eat hot pot together today." Chen Ze smiled and took out a few plates of cut ingredients from the kitchen. There were meat and vegetables.
"Okay, Uncle Store Manager." Elena ran over and sat on the chair expectantly.
Andrew looked at Stan cautiously. He slowly moved over and sat on the chair as well.
"Mr. Stan is a guest. Don't look at him like that." Chen Ze looked at Andrew, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He didn't understand why Andrew was so wary of Stan.
"Okay, Uncle Store Manager." Andrew nodded and focused on the hot pot in front of him. He had never seen this hot thing before, but it didn't stop him from thinking that it was delicious.
This was a common understanding between him and Elena. In this magical restaurant, even a glass of water was more delicious than the black bread provided by the Holy City Church.
Andrew glanced at Elena, who was swallowing her saliva uncontrollably.
"Come on, it's time to cook the dishes. You can eat them after they're cooked." Chen Ze first cooked several plates of cut mutton mixed with some lamb tail oil.
Chen Ze had heard that if the lamb tail oil was added first, the freshness of the whole pot would be greatly improved. Chen Ze believed the netizens on the Internet.
On the other side, Stan was in a daze. He had just eaten a Buffy, but the taste of this Buffy was completely different from the one he had eaten before.
If the Buffy he had before was only able to let Stan, who had no sense of taste, taste the sweetness of the Buffy, then this one was even more unique.
"How long has it been …" Stan looked at the cup in his hand silently. How long had it been since he had eaten something like this?
It was a cup of Buffy, but after eating it, Stan felt like he was eating his own past.
The past when he still had a physical body, the past when he was still young, the past when he believed in the oath, the past when he was still human.
Stan touched his chest silently. There should be a wound there, a horrible wound.
"Alice, why did you do this to me!"
"Mr. Stan, the past that I was with you was just to get this magic book." The good-looking girl looked at him with a smile, but the dagger in her hand was dripping with blood. It was Stan's blood.
Chen Ze frowned and glanced at Si Tan. From the beginning, he could feel an uncomfortable aura slowly surging from Si Tan's side.
Stan was still the same. He sat in his chair silently, but the uncomfortable presence on him was getting stronger.
"Mr. Stan?" Chen Ze asked worriedly. Stan was a good customer, and Chen Ze didn't want Stan to be judged as an attack by the restaurant's magic circle.
In the cold Manchester, the wind and snow covered the city, but it couldn't compare to the coldness in Stan's heart.
He never thought that when the entire magic union didn't believe him, this woman would come to his side, encourage him, and comfort him.
Even when Stan was poor, even when Stan was ridiculed as a piece of trash, she still protected him. After getting the magic book, she buried him with her own hands.
"Mr. Stan, I'm so sorry. I forgot to tell you, I do have your child, but I will kill him with my own hands because he has a useless father." Alice smiled. Her expression was so seductive, but the words that came out of her mouth were suffocating.
Child … My child … My child … My unborn child …
Stan looked at the sky in despair. The snow in the sky slowly turned black in his sight. It became darker and darker until Stan fell into the abyss.
At this moment, Stan finally remembered. He finally remembered his past. He finally remembered everything about himself. He finally remembered the memory that he had deliberately forgotten.
The restaurant couldn't eat anymore. The uncomfortable presence was getting stronger and stronger. Just when Chen Ze couldn't help but call out the magic circle, all the uncomfortable presence disappeared. The restaurant returned to normal.
Stan let out a long breath. He looked at everything in front of him. It had been more than a thousand years since he fell into the abyss. He had grown from a weak skeleton to a big shot in the negative plane.
Alice … should be dead by now.
Stan remembered the magic book. Although it was a magical book in the positive plane, the meditation methods and magic theories recorded in it were enough to help a magician reach the advanced level. However, that was it.
"Mr. Stan, are you okay?" Chen Ze asked worriedly. Earlier, Elena was almost in tears because of Stan's presence.
"Thank you, Mr. Manager," Stan said sincerely. At the same time, he placed a black stone on the table.
"This is the cost of today's meal." Stan sat on the chair calmly. Although this thing was precious, Stan felt that it was better than his memory.
Stan knew very well why he could remember this memory that he had deliberately forgotten. It was because of the Buffy that he had just eaten.
Therefore, Stan had to repay this favor, even if Chen Ze didn't know.
Chen Ze took the stone curiously. It was cold to the touch. It looked no different from a normal stone.
[Absorbable energy detected. Absorbing in progress.]
[Current progress: 50002/100000]
Chen Ze blinked. He wondered if he was hallucinating.
One stone gave him 50,000 points of upgrade progress?
Chen Ze asked for another one.
[The restaurant's portal has been upgraded. The portal has appeared in more planes.]
