Chapter 993: Chapter 23 Masks, Knives, Flesh!_3

“It just feels a bit weird.”

Modo was answering.

“Even weirder than what you encountered yesterday?”

Jason continued to ask.

“Of course not!”

“What happened yesterday was the weirdest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. That’s why I ended up here, right?”

Modo responded with certainty.

Then, he posed a question to Jason.

But before Jason could answer, Modo immediately continued on.

“Thank you again for your help.”

“It’s a fee, not a courtesy.”

While saying this, Modo took out a damp wallet from his bosom, and with a bow, raised it above his head and handed it to Jason.

Jason stopped walking, put on his ice hockey mask, and then turned around.

He took the wallet that Modo had handed him.

Modo looked up accordingly.

Then, a face without eyes, nose, or mouth just appeared in front of Jason.

Similarly, Jason wearing the mask, was also reflected in Modo’s ‘field of vision’.

Modo, who was expecting a scream and terror, was taken aback.

It stared at the cold and calm eyes behind Jason’s mask and involuntarily shuddered.

It felt a bit scared!

It wanted to scream a bit!

But before it could continue to react,

Jason had already spoken.

“Mask.”

Jason pointed to the ice hockey mask on his face.

“Cleaver.”

The chill of the blade enhanced with Evil-Slaying Slash flickered in the office.

The next moment, a silver slash swept across Modo’s body.

Modo was split in two without even a chance to react.

Pfft!

Just like a popped balloon, the fallen body began to shrivel up quickly, leaving behind a short and stocky creature somewhere between a raccoon and a dog.

Its fur was dark brown, its mouth area white, its limbs short and black, and its tail short and thick.

Now cleaved in two.

Jason picked up the ‘food’ and said indifferently,

“Meat.”

…

“So, you were attacked?”

“This meat is from a ‘monster’?”

Hui Lijing’s eyes widened as she looked at Jason holding the ‘food.’

“Attacked?”

“No!”

“Just pre-dinner etiquette.”

Jason said and handed the ‘food’ to Hui Lijing.

“Please prepare it for me.”

“I will pay.”

Jason said so.

With proper cooking conditions, Jason started to like his food prepared more deliciously.

“Okay.”

Hui Lijing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

She had already come into contact with the ‘Mystical Side’, and couldn’t have any aversion or fear towards these ‘monsters’. Better treat them as ingredients and overcome her psychological fears by making a delicious dish!

With that decision, Hui Lijing immediately got into action.

At this time, the rock boss pushed open the cafe.

Seeing that Jason was safe and sound, the boss visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

“The new television, I’ve got it ready. How soon do you need it?”

The boss asked.

“Anytime.”

“Rock boss, do you know a person named Modo?”

Jason asked.

“Modo?”

“That scumbag?”

“He deceived a girl’s feelings, and in the end, she put him in four bags and threw them into the river. When he was found, his body was almost eaten by fish!”

The rock boss sneered at the mention of Modo.

“Were it not for that guy owing too much money, and a large group of people looking for him, he would never have been found.”

“It’s a pity for that girl.”

“She was actually a daughter of a large conglomerate. What a pity to be deceived by a scumbag like Modo.”

Saying this, the rock boss sighed and shook his head.

“That girl is too pitiful.”

“What happened to her in the end?”

“Was she executed?”

While processing ingredients, Hui Lijing couldn’t help but poke her head out.

“No.”

“Her family pushed for a legal reform proposal, abolishing the death penalty.”

“Because of her poor mental state, she was allowed to seek medical treatment outside prison.”

“Now?”

“She’s probably in a seaside resort recovering.”

The words of the rock boss left Hui Lijing, who had just been full of pity, standing there dumbfounded.

She had no idea what kind of expression to use.

Looking at Hui Lijing’s expression, the rock boss couldn’t help but shake his head again.

“That’s reality!”

The rock boss said and looked at Jason. He walked over to the seat next to Jason, sat down, and in a very low voice, said–

“Jason, have you ever heard of… ‘the cursed videotape’?”
