Prologue XVII Restaurant

After leaving the ward, we got into the car where Li Yalin and Reed carried me to the hospital, but this time we didn't take two cars at the same time, but got into the same car and sat down; Reid was the driver, Lee was in the passenger seat, and Lux and I were in the back - it's worth mentioning that this car wasn't the one I was in when I came, in Lux's words: "That car is still stinking and smoky, and people won't get on it until it's cleaned...... People can't stand the smell of it. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lux's statement made a knowing smile on my handsome face, in fact, as the most familiar with the smell, I hated it the most, because it was disgusting; You can imagine a person being sprayed with all kinds of, and as long as it's a normal person, they don't want to stay by their side - it's completely human, understandable, understandable.

And I, who had been disinfected by Jerez with alcohol, had long since lost the disgusting smell on my body, leaving only the faint fragrance that Jerez sprayed me; This fragrance is a kind of medicine, its biggest role is to neutralize the various odors left on the surface of the body, and make the body maintain a fragrance for a certain period of time, fortunately Jerez is not a perfume lover, so this fragrance is very light, and it can't be smelled if it's not close enough.

Of course, with the distance between me and Lux holding hands and shoulder to shoulder, this fragrance will undoubtedly be captured by Lux's beautiful nose.

"Well, the faint floral smell is still pleasant, and it's much better than the smell when you meet Qiqi."

The tip of her nose sniffed the fragrance of my body, and Lux, who was sitting next to me, nodded with satisfaction, her delicate pretty face showed a lovely smile, and after stopping the sniffing movement, she raised her head and looked at me, her eyes were focused, as if she was looking at a brilliant diamond.

"What's wrong?"

I'm also looking at Lux, there is still a certain gap between her pretty face when she was a child and her in the future, but the style of a peerless beauty has begun to emerge.

"Well, nothing ......"

The gentle smile on my handsome face, and the affection in my eyes, made Lux a little overwhelmed, so she lowered her head when she answered the question, but the little hand holding my hand tightened a little.

“……”

Lux's movements made me laugh silently, and the shyness on her face was pleasing to my eyes, so I didn't say much more, just quietly stared at Lux, at my beloved......

In the spacious and comfortable car, as time passed, the tired Lux rested quietly on my shoulder, and I had turned my eyes to the window; The speed of the car was not fast, and I could watch the people and scenery slowly passing by outside the window, until the Klein Hotel, which I had seen a few times, appeared in front of me.

As an important property under the first family of Plant, the Klein Hotel covers an extremely large area, from the outside, the first floor of the hotel protrudes into an arc, shaped like a semicircle, facing the main street in the central area; Between the street and the hotel gate, two roads are planned to the left and to the right, and common flowers are planted on one side of the road; In the middle of them is a huge stone slab about 12 meters wide and 2 meters high, and on this stone slab made of marble, there are 11 large gilded characters carved in block letters, such as "Welcome to the Klein Hotel......

Ordinary people just look at these eleven gilded characters engraved in block letters, which makes people feel that this hotel is extraordinary, in other words, it is high-end atmosphere and grade - in fact, the reason why I know that this building is the Klein Hotel is entirely because of the very eye-catching, conspicuous eleven gilded characters.

If these eleven gilded characters make people feel that it is extraordinary and classy, then from both sides of the pedestal (the ground floor of the building), the high-rise buildings that rise to the sky like two towers of Babel are even more shocking......

Their overall shape is columnar, rows of silver-white windows are neatly embellished, from time to time, the windows reflect a little light under the illumination of the artificial sun, making it seem to be dressed in a layer of gold, and like a gorgeous pendant embellished on a white robe, full of an indescribable beauty; The four sides of the column are slightly thicker, and it is painted with silver paint, making it look inconspicuous in this silver and white high-rise, but when it is shrouded in the light emitted by the artificial sun, its bright silver skin gradually fades, and the bright golden light is like a divine soldier falling from the sky, and the bright silver skin is completely erased without looking closely, and it is impossible to even identify whether it is really made of gold.

However, it is not really invisible, when you pay close attention, you can see a slip of silver-white light shuttling back and forth in the golden light, if your eyesight is far better than ordinary people, you will be able to clearly see that this silver-white light, in fact, is a silver-white painted elevator; By the way, on the top floor of the two high-rise buildings, there is an octagonal, transparent walkway, which is about 100 meters long, although the length is not long, but if you look down from a height of more than 300 meters...... It's still very impactful, or at least scary.

On the whole, the Klein Hotel is a 'concave' word, but a 'concave' word cannot describe its pleasing to the eye, even shocking visual impact.

So in short, it's magnificent, it's atmospheric, it's high-end......

"This is the Klein Hotel...... It is worthy of being an important industry under the first family, but this surface is enough to shock people. ”

I sighed, and the handsome face couldn't help but show admiration; In fact, this is the first time I have looked at the Klein Hotel so closely, whether it is its shape or its magnificence, it is worthy of the label of a landmark building, although it is not the tallest building in the colonial satellite, but its unique exterior design, expensive decoration materials, and spacious and luxurious interior will undoubtedly make it a ~darling~ child of high society.

My exclamation did not wake up Lux, but Li Yalin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, interjected lightly: "If you know who designed it, I think you will be even more shocked." Li Yalin's interjection made me slightly stunned, and I thought to myself: "I didn't expect this fierce-looking uncle to be quite talkative......" Originally, I thought that the fierce-faced Li Yalin was a taciturn person, but now it seems that he is not as difficult as I imagined.

While I'm curious about who designed the Klein Hotel, I'm more interested in something else.

"If I'm not mistaken, Lux seems to have mentioned that you were ...... Inhuman, right? Can you tell me a little bit about what kind of being an Inhuman is? ”

I hesitated a little when it came to Inhuman, but I finally said it; According to my understanding, the so-called alien should refer to a person with special functions, such as an existence like me, but I don't know whether my ability with strong side effects is powerful in their eyes, and since it refers to a person with special functions, it is naturally an existence that is different from ordinary people, so it is okay to call it an 'alien', but it feels like it is divided into two types of people.

"But this world is not only inhuman, it also has the distinction between natural people, adjusters, and clones...... Hehe. ”

Thinking of the different humans mentioned in the anime, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but hook up slightly, revealing a sneer that was almost impossible to see.

"Inhuman? I don't know how you understand it, but as I understand it...... The Inhuman is the existence that has surpassed the natural person and the adjuster, such as the two types of people are just existences that can be killed in front of the Inhuman; And it is precisely because the Inhumans have powers beyond mortals that mortals will call us Inhumans in order to distinguish them from them...... Of course, after countless battles, you should also know that Inhumans are not truly invincible. ”

"Although Inhumans possess powers beyond mortals, not all Inhumans are capable of possessing a strong body that can resist bullet attacks; For example, with your body, even if it's just a sharp knife, it can still kill you when it hits your vital point, but if it's me, because I have the ability to attack and defend at the same time, so when I use the ability, I can resist the close-range shooting of a small-caliber weapon, and my destructive power is ...... Only stronger than you! ”

Speaking the last six words, Li Yalin's tone was extremely confident, although I don't know what special ability Li Yalin has, but just hearing that he can resist the close-range shooting of small-caliber firearms with his ability, I know that his destructive power will definitely only be stronger than his defensive power - after all, from my observation during this time, Li Yalin is obviously better at attacking than defending.

"Can you tell me the name of your ability?"

Naturally, I will not deny what Li Yalin said, because it is the truth.

"It's called 'Qigong', maybe you haven't heard of it, anyway, it's a very powerful ability, and it can continue to evolve, evolve, and evolve again, although this process is a little difficult for ordinary people."

Of course, I won't have heard of the word qigong, after all, in my former world, it was also very popular, although most of it was fake...... But now it seems that qigong is obviously real, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why Li Yalin would know such a thing as 'qigong'; unfortunately, I had never been exposed to qigong in my previous life, so I just knew it but didn't know why.

As Li Yalin's explanation ended, I didn't ask anything more, but turned my head to look out the window again, and the words that Li Yalin had just said echoed in my mind, and then I found a very good and powerful thing: "Lux can sense my memories and even emotions, and this ability has surpassed common sense, so it can be called a special ability, so Lux should also be an alien...... Right? "I think so, but considering that Inhumans are 'aliens' after all, I can't characterize Lux as Inhuman in the end.

"Inhuman, is it different from ordinary people?"

Looking out the window at the Klein Hotel, which was approaching, I thought silently.

The car carrying us finally pulled into the road that stretched out from the Klein Hotel, and it was just then that Lux slowly woke up from her rest; At first glance, Lux saw the boy who was looking out the window, felt the slightly stiff shoulders behind his head, and knew that he was leaning on the boy's shoulders, and his pretty face suddenly turned red, but there was also a hint of sweetness in his heart.

"Lux, are you awake?"

Lux only moved slightly, and I noticed her sobriety, so I withdrew my gaze from the marble slab and landed on Lux.

"Hmmm......"

The sound of a mosquito chirping came to my ears with the soft tone of Lux's voice, and I could tell that she was starting to be shy again when I saw her red cheeks and lowered eyes.

"It's already at the Klein Hotel, Lux."

The shy Lux is undoubtedly cute, and those who enjoy this scene do not forget to remind Lux of where she is at this time.

Lux listened to my reminder, the original shy mood was soothed a lot, she raised her head, first glanced at me shyly, and then fell her eyes outside the window, the familiar scene outside the window made Lux instantly know that this was the door of the Klein Hotel, she looked out the window and groaned slightly, when the car slowly drove up the cross entrance to the underground garage, Lux raised her voice and said: "Uncle Reed, stop here for a while, and when they get off with Kiki, you are driving the car into the garage." ”

Reed, who was driving the car, parked the car on the pause platform next to the intersection entrance, and in the car, Lux's instructions continued: "People will go to the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel with Kiki, and Uncle Reed can go directly to the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel to find us after parking the car, and Uncle Scar will be the bodyguard of the family and Kiki, just go with them." ”

"I thought I had forgotten about you, Lux."

Li Yalin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, wanted to remind Lux of his existence when he heard Lux's previous sentence, but with Lux's intelligence, he naturally would not forget Li Yalin who was sitting in the passenger seat, so the subsequent words were also arranged accordingly.

"Hehe, Uncle Scar is so good to others, how can people forget Uncle Scar?"

Li Yalin's slightly funny words made Lux's shyness gradually dissipate, and then a crisp and pleasant laughter like a jewel on a plate echoed in the car, and looking at the scene in front of me, I naturally laughed along.

"I see, His Highness Lux."

Naturally, Reed had no objection to Lux's arrangement, so after parking the car, he responded as such; Then Reed and Li Yalin got out of the car first, Reed opened the door on the left side of the car, and Li Yalin stood aside and scanned the surrounding environment to confirm whether it was safe or not; After Lux and I got out of the car, Reed said goodbye to us and drove into the underground parking lot of the Klein Hotel.

"So...... Let's go. ”

After watching Reid drive into the underground parking lot, we followed Lux to the doors of the Klein Hotel.

Most of the walls on the first floor of the Klein Hotel facing the main street are large floor-to-ceiling windows made of reinforced fiberglass, through which you can see the scene in the hotel, but what catches the eye is not the opulent scene of the hotel, but the greeters standing on both sides of the gate; The greeters are of the best appearance and figure, they are dressed in the same style of red cheongsam, and their pretty faces with a little fat powder show a subtle and warm smile, and whenever people pass by, they will greet or say goodbye in sweet voices.

"Lux, why don't we just take the elevator to the second floor? Why enter through the main entrance? The constant protest made me a little confused about Lux's intentions, and in response to my inquiry, Lux replied with a smile: "This is to let Kiki know more about the Klein Hotel." With that, we walked into the hotel amid the sweet welcome of the greeter.

After entering the first floor of the hotel, you will be greeted by a large screen embroidered with exotic flowers and plants, and when you go around it, you will see the thick pillars made of marble, which are bright under the light of a splendid crystal lamp about eight meters wide and two meters high hanging from the roof, and they are far apart, so through the gap left by these pillars, you can see the wide main platform from a distance.

The main desk is made of solid wood, on the wooden table every more than a meter stands a smiling waiter, some of them are checking in for customers, some are checking out for customers, and on both sides of the main desk, there are two spiral staircases leading to the second floor of the hotel, wooden, carved handrails in the shape of flowers and plants, and dozens of steps made of marble, all of which are eye-catching, of course, in addition to the two spiral staircases leading to the second floor, on the side of the staircase, there is also an elevator that can go to the highest floor.

By the way, the floors of the wealthy Klein Hotel are also made of marble, but you don't have to worry about falling over if it's too slippery, because it's already hard-wearing painted.

The decoration of the Klein Hotel is undoubtedly worthy of the word 'luxury', although I have seen countless luxurious buildings in my previous life, but there is always a slight gap compared to the Klein Hotel, which may be the difference brought about by the progress of the times...... After a cursory look at the first floor of the hotel, I followed in Lux's footsteps to the spiral staircase that led to the second floor.

Entering the second floor of the hotel from the spiral staircase, you will be greeted by the marble floor, and when you look up, you can see that the chandelier, which is several sizes smaller, is emitting a white glow, illuminating the passage to the left or right. In front of the line of sight, there is a sign with a white background and blue edges, with an arrow to the left that says 'Restaurant', an arrow to the right that says '3rd Floor', and a slightly smaller sign below '3rd Floor' that reads 'Bathroom'.

"Now, it's almost time to get to the restaurant."

As I surveyed the aisle, Lux also held out her white finger and pointed to the sign in front of her, and then she moved her finger in the direction of the arrow.

"Well, I'm starving."

I smiled in response, and then, as Lux tugged, followed her in the direction of the entrance to the restaurant, and in a short time I saw the door that led to the restaurant.

The door of the restaurant of the Klein Hotel is still made of reinforced glass reinforced plastic with gold aluminum alloy edges, and the style is simple and simple. When you look through the transparent restaurant door, the first thing that catches your eye is still the thick and polished marble columns, which are indispensable as the support columns of the whole building, but they are less than the first floor.

In their spacing, rows of single, double, four, five, or even eight dining tables and chairs are arranged in a staggered manner in the large dining room. Some of them are flanked by marble columns, some are in an rather empty environment, and some are arranged along large transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, all of which are spaced about two or three meters apart, leaving visitors with a wide passage large enough for two or three people to pass side by side.

In addition, a potted plant about one meter tall is also deliberately arranged in a relatively empty place, so that the whole restaurant looks a little compact, but in fact it is still slightly spacious and comfortable, and at the same time, it also makes the whole restaurant a little more green, making people feel that the air inhaled from the nose seems to be fresher.

"It's very cozy."

After following Lux into the restaurant, I looked left and right at the décor and commented.

"It feels like the air is fresher, isn't it?"

Along the way, Lux's smile never stopped, and when she heard my compliment, the smile on Lux's pretty face suddenly became thicker.

"Hmmm......"

I took a deep breath and felt that the air was much fresher than outside; Seriously speaking, the air in the colonial satellites is much better than that in the earth, if the air inhaled in the earth has a strong smell of industry, then the air inhaled in the colonial satellite carries the breath of greenery.

"Go sit there."

While I was feeling the freshness of the air, Lux was also observing the vacant seats in the restaurant, it was not the peak time for dining, so the restaurant at the Klein Hotel was not full, and Lux just looked at it and chose a table for four people; As soon as she lifted her finger to show me the way, we walked slowly towards the chosen table.

After we sat down on either side of the glass, I looked out and saw a bustling scene on the transparent glass avenue, with cars and people shuttling in and out.

"Has Plant always been so prosperous?"

I looked out the window, and I didn't really know much about this colonial satellite that I had been in for thirty days, after all, I was living as a 'beggar' at the time, and I only glanced at a place like the one that is almost a white-collar area now.

"Well, Plant is indeed quite prosperous, there are not only adjusters here, but also natural persons, and because the Council regards Plant as a research and production base, so the goods here are currently the most complete, cutting-edge, and cheapest in the world, of course, this cheapest also depends on the positioning of the goods, such as the car produced by the Amalfi family, its price is not necessarily lower than the price of other car companies on the earth, whether it is cheap or not, it is only relative; But in terms of quality, there is no doubt that the quality of the cars produced by the Amalfi family is among the best in the world......"

"The prosperity of the plant also relies on the abundant resources in the universe, if there are no rich resources in the universe, the plant will not have a foothold, but fortunately, the resources of the universe are inexhaustible in the current cognition, so there is no need to worry that the plant will lose its fundamental foothold."

"Yike...... Unconsciously, people said something that was not suitable for this time, and I hope Qiqi doesn't mind saying it. ”

Lux, who introduced me to a bit, suddenly realized in the end that now was not the time to talk about this, so she sat next to me and showed me an apologetic smile, and I naturally waved my hand indifferently, not only didn't mind, but also praised with a smile: "Lux is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable, I already know so much at a young age, if it were me in the past, I'm afraid I'm still playing with mud, hunting game and all kinds of vegetables, right?" Hehe......"

I don't take it for granted that Lux knows this, although it is essential to know these things with her background and identity, but Lux has undoubtedly put in a lot of hard work in the process of knowing these things - this is not a figurative sentence, but a fact, because Lux's constitution doomed her to be unable to read books for a long time, which would be a burden on her already weak body.

But luckily, Lux is very intelligent, and although she is not at the level of memorization, she can still memorize the contents of the book after reading it more than she reads it, which gives Lux the foundation to level and even surpass ordinary adjusters.

"Hee-hee-hee......"

In response to my compliment, Lux just smiled and didn't reply.
