90,000 Years of Longevity

Chapter 90: Empty Building

Ancient Town, on the main road leading to Peaceful Restaurant.

A neat row of black cars was returning. When they saw the cart, the speed of those cars slowed down a lot.

Ye Bei looked at the buildings beside the road.

The people in the car looked through the window to Ye Bei who was sitting in the cart in an ancient white robe.

Both sides were silent and did not pause.

They just passed by. 

When all the black cars left, and even the shadows of the cars disappeared, the driver who pulled the cart wiped the sweat from his cheeks with the yellowed towel, with a sigh in his voice, "The ostentation of those cars just now is really good. Every car is the same, and even the license plate number is connected. From my point of view, someone must have gone to the Peaceful Restaurant! Look, we are all the same human beings, but why is there such a big difference?"

Ye Bei looked faintly, "If you are to switch with them, are you willing?"

After listening, the coachman smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I just said casually, that kind of life is not for me. it's better to pull a cart, and eat out every day, what's more, I will definitely not be able to sleep in a hotel. Fate is like this, if those guys were to live a life like mine, it's estimated that they will commit suicide."

"Only the person drinking water knows whether it's hot or cold." Ye Bei remarked softly behind.

Hearing Ye Bei's answer, although he didn't understand the meaning, the driver's interest was raised, "There was an auction here during the day, and there were a lot of big shots, and the whole street was also blocked. Speaking of which, the background of this Peaceful Restaurant is quite big enough, there's really no one in the ancient town. I pulled a few big bosses during the day, tsk tsk, they were so rich, just swinging their hands and a thick red stack of banknotes would appear. And on their bodies, regardless of male or female, were all wearing perfume and now, there is still a delicate and clear fragrance on this street!"

"Yeah." Ye Bei's reply was very timing.

The air was slightly cool, and the faint scent in it was obviously sprinkled afterward, hidden in the scent, and there was a hint of blood that was imperceptible and for the normal coachman, he did not feel even a tiny bit of it.

The driver's pace was steady. The street here was blocked, so there were no people. His voice was not loud, but it was very clear, "By the way, sir, have you been here during the day? I heard that someone hung the lantern at the auction, that person was very powerful that he has all the antiques and spent more than one billion, I can't imagine how rich he is!"

Ye Bei was silent, his eyes fell on the gold sign of the 'Peaceful Restaurant'.

Although it was nighttime, those two long characters were more dazzling than the day under the background of neon lights. Unfortunately, the gate was closed, there was no car, and there was not a soul of a security guard either. Compared with the festival in the Ancient Town, the atmosphere was extremely depressing and gloomy. 

"Arrived." Ye Bei announced.

When parking, the coachman paid no attention to the depression on the street, he turned around, revealing his neat white teeth, "Sir, 30 Yuan"

"Okay." Ye Bei flicked his long robe, got out of the cart, gave the money, and walked slowly towards the gate of the Peaceful Restaurant.

The coachman parked the cart to the side of the restaurant and sat on the ground.

When he saw Ye Bei walk into the restaurant, the coachman seemed to think of something, and whispered in his mouth, "Sir, have you found the person you are looking for? Is it possible that that person is in this restaurant?"

Creak!

Ye Bei didn't answer, standing with his hands behind him, and walking to the door, the wooden door opened slowly with a creak.

The restaurant was empty.

The lights inside had all been extinguished a long time ago, there was even a bit of chill in the air.

However, when Ye Bei entered this hall, all the lights were automatically turned on, and it was just an instant that the place was illuminated.

"Sir, you are here?" A young girl stood in front of the auction table in the hall that had not been removed. After seeing Ye Bei, she was a little startled and then muttered.

The girl wore a white dress from the Tang Dynasty,

There was a bit of mist in her eyes. She was exactly the waitress at the door of the Private Room No. 1 which Ye Bei stayed in not long ago.

"Well, I've come." Ye Bei replied softly, in the huge lobby of the entire restaurant, this girl was the only one present at this moment.

The air was cold, exuding an inexplicable weirdness, but Ye Bei didn't seem to care, his eyes swept away from the girl, his hands on his back, and he walked in the direction of the neatly arranged chairs under the auction stage.

"Sir, the waiters, boss, and security have all left." The girl's voice trembled slightly.

Ye Bei was in the middle of the hall and randomly found a chair to sit down, "I saw it all."

"Sir, something happened outside just now." The girl's voice came unhurriedly.

Ye Bei sat still, his hands flat on his thighs, his eyes were like buried stars, "It's just that the lantern has fallen, so the light is off."

"Sir, do you want to tell them?" The girl's voice was clear.

Ye Bei lightly muttered, "It's unknown where the face disappeared to, leaving the peach blossoms in the vernal breeze smiling still."

After listening, the girl nodded gently, stepped gracefully as she slowly stepped off the auction stage, and then walked towards the restaurant corridor.

In the Peaceful Restaurant, only Ye Bei was left in the lobby.

Sitting on the chair, he placed his eyes indifferently in front of the auction table, waiting quietly.

...

Peaceful Restaurant. On the top floor, in the room where archaeologists from the seven countries often met.

At this moment, there was another situation entirely.

"All the waiters in the restaurant have been evacuated. In the entire restaurant, there are only seven of us. No, there is also the girl who we controlled before, but I don't know where she went." In front of the round table, the Greek archaeologist said coldly.

"I've called back to my family, guys, calm down, all the people we sent out are gone, I feel that we are now being targeted by an extremely terrifying force!" Ralph began to speak with his unsteady voice.

"Damn it, it seems that we can't leave China today!" The American archaeologist gritted his teeth.

However, the archaeologist of China had a dull look, and his voice murmured, "We were really wrong this time. We can search for those secrets, or collect those traces everywhere, but we should never find someone to control him forcibly, even trying to kill him."

"Shut up! What's wrong with this? We are just making the right choice." Ralph sipped.

The Chinese archaeologists did not agree, "Yes, we made a choice, and they also made a decision."

The room gradually became quiet.

Ta, ta, ta...

But then, outside the room, there was a sound of clear and steady footsteps.

"Coming?"

When the seven old men heard this sound, their bodies automatically reacted and could not calm down.

"Gentlemen, the person you are looking for has already arrived." A soft female voice came from outside the door. The seven elders listened, and all stood up from their chairs, their complexions were pale, there was no excitement in their eyes, only a horrible fear.
