Chapter 331: 188. The House that Eats People

"What do you hear?" Lu Li asked Anna.

"What?"

"I heard you scraping a table."

The boss and Anna, seemingly from the void, said.

"It's killing me! This human wants to kill me!" the counter continued to complain loudly, and the entire cafe echoed with whispers that couldn't be heard clearly, as if responding to the counter.

"How much longer, mother? I can hardly wait to turn this human into my counter... Okay, I'll wait a bit longer..."

Seemingly getting some kind of response, the voice of the counter gradually faded away and disappeared.

Everything returned to normal.

After listening quietly to the voices, Lu Li said to the puzzled-looking boss, "A cup of hot milk or coffee."

Though the boss found Lu Li's actions a bit strange, he nodded and went to prepare the hot drink anyway.

Anna's faint voice rang out by his ear, "Do you feel something is off?"

"Somewhat, we'll talk about it later."

Lu Li shifted his attention back as the boss pushed a cup of coffee in front of him.
