Chapter 249: The Police Catch the Thief (17)
Facing Ye Chen's fierce gaze, Bai Xi's expression was a little unnatural. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Bai Xi quickly adjusted her expression, she was still seen by Tang Wu, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "Master Bai, you dare to calculate me, you don't plan to open this small shop, right?" Tang Yu is quite annoyed now, she has lost face in front of Yechen this time, she just thought that she had made a major discovery, but she didn't expect that this was a trap, or she jumped down by herself.
This matter is too serious, Bai Xi estimated that Ye Chen had already guessed it, but even if she guessed, she didn't dare to admit it, he said hesitantly: "Miss Chen, why don't I understand what you said?" ”
"Don't understand?" Yechen smiled slightly and said, "Then do you need me to make it clear?" ”
"No, no, no." Bai Xi hurriedly said, his face has become a little pale now, if this matter is announced, he will offend a large group of people!
"What the hell is going on?" Seeing that Ye Chen's words scared Bai Xi like that, Tang Yu asked curiously.
Ignoring the pleading in Bai Xi's eyes, Yechen said, "This dish has his soul in it. ”
Tang Wu didn't understand for a while, but after thinking for a while, she came to her senses and said, "You mean that there is his mind in this dish." ”
The soul is the most complex and mysterious thing in this universe, and the trialists of the seventh space, especially the supernatural trialists, have been exploring the soul, and have slowly summed up a set of basic theories, they believe that in general, the soul is composed of the origin of the soul and the essence of the soul.
The soul source is the root of the soul, but it does not have any role in itself, but is only responsible for the construction of the soul, and the interesting thing is that the soul source, as a kind of matter, has a powerful characteristic, it is the most "solid" thing in the universe, even the gods cannot completely destroy it.
Because the role of the origin of the soul is difficult to see in ordinary times, the soul is actually just the soul substance, and the soul essence carries a person's memory, emotion, will, emotions, etc., and of course, the most important consciousness.
In addition to the origin of the soul and the essence of the soul, the soul also has a component - the scattered soul, which is what Tang Wu called "thoughts", or "thoughts". The soul is the root of a person and is inseparable, but the scattered soul is different, it can be transmitted outside the body. Scattered souls can pry the law, and with the power of the law, they can summon the spirit of nature, arrange various elements, construct a powerful magic circle, and even communicate across space and creatures from other planes. Speaking of which, it should be easier to understand, in fact, the scattered soul has a more common name - spiritual power, because the scattered soul is also called mind, so mental power is sometimes called mindfulness, or mindfulness power - the word mindfulness is mainly used by science and technology trialists.
What the seventh space needs is the soul of the trialist, and it is also the soul of the trialist that is tested and sharpened by the tasks again and again, and whether the soul is strong enough is the most important reference for the seventh space to arrange advanced tasks. Therefore, there is not much difference in the soul strength of the trialists of the same level, but the same soul strength does not mean that the scattered souls are also as powerful, generally speaking, the so-called "spellcaster" scattered souls will be stronger, while the scattered souls of warriors and the like are very few, but their souls are more compact and solid.
These soul knowledge has been circulating among the trialists in the seventh space, Ye Chen and Tang Yu both know it, but as a spiritual alien trialist who specializes in playing with souls, Ye Chen has her own views on souls, she doesn't like this statement, she doesn't think that scattered souls and soul essence are two different things, but think that the two are the same in nature, and the so-called scattered soul is just a manifestation of soul quality.
These soul constructs are applicable to all sapient beings, including ordinary people. When we say that a person's temperament is very contagious, it actually means that his overflowing soul is strong, or his spiritual power is strong. In addition to the strength of the scattered soul, it is also helpful to have targeted exercises the day after tomorrow. In addition, some great artists may also pin their scattered souls on their works when they create with their hearts, for example, some famous paintings will be praised as "vivid", which is not entirely a metaphor, because these paintings do have souls attached to them. In addition to artists, craftsmen can also make works with souls, including chefs, of course, because the soul of ordinary people is too weak, it is extremely rare to have a "soul" on the dishes.
Ordinary people can't do it, it doesn't mean that the trialist can't do it, a fifth-order trialist's soul is already strong enough, if he really really works his cooking skills, he can give a soul to every dish he makes. Because of this, Tang Wu will say that the food here is very special and has a special feeling.
It is nothing to place the soul on the dishes, but with her extreme sensitivity to the soul, Yechen feels that the soul on these dishes is not naturally revealed by the chef in the process of cooking, but is deliberately given. Every trialist who has eaten Bai Xi's dishes has unconsciously suffered the influence of Bai Xi's scattered soul, which is not as bad as Tang Yu thinks, the "thoughts" in these dishes are full of kindness and friendliness. But there is no harm to the trialist, it does not mean that it is not good for Bai Xi, and under the influence of these "thoughts" full of kindness and friendliness, the trialist will add a kind of friendliness to Bai Xi. It is precisely because the trialists who have no task conflict have a good impression of Bai Xi that he has his current status and position, if this matter is poked out, those trialists know that the reason why they like this short and fat cook is because he has done tricks and feet in the meal, Bai Xi must not be torn alive? It was precisely because of the premonition of his tragic experience that Bai Xi was so worried and afraid.
After exposing Bai Xi's secret, it is not good for Yechen, she will never do this kind of thankless thing, on the contrary, if it is not triggered, this is a very small handle, relying on this can squeeze a lot of benefits out of Bai Xi.
Bai Xi said: "Even if there is a thought in this dish, there is nothing that cannot be eaten, right?" I don't know if it's because of excitement or because I'm nervous and scared, Bai Xi feels a little trembling when he speaks.
Yes, the thought in the dish shows that the chef is serious about it, is there anything wrong with that? Tang Wu glanced at Yechen suspiciously, she still didn't realize that the "thoughts" in these dishes had been manipulated.
Yechen said lightly: "There's nothing you can't eat, it's just that I don't like it, Tang Wu, you'd better not eat it." ”
Maybe it's because of the "spiritual cleanliness", Yechen probably doesn't like to eat things with other people's souls in his mouth, Tang Wu guessed.
Seeing that Yechen didn't tell his secret, Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief, his face was full of smiles again, and he hurriedly said: "So that's the case, I was negligent and didn't take into account the taste of the guests, so I'll go and redo it." ”
After beckoning the guy to serve these dishes, Bai Xi went to the back kitchen to make another dish for Yechen and Tang Wu according to the same dish.
This time, Bai Xi didn't dare to do anything in the dish again, and Yechen didn't put forward any opinions.
After eating, Bai Xi also made a crucian carp soup and brought it up, saying: "This time, because of my mistake, the two of you were dissatisfied when you ate it for the first time, and this crucian carp soup can be regarded as my reparation." ”
Yechen smiled and said, "Master Bai is really too polite, it's just a trivial matter, why make it so grand." ”
Bai Xi laughed and said: "Make friends, I'm a good person to make friends, and the first thing to do is not to let friends suffer." ”
Yechen asked, "Then are we friends now?" ”
Bai Xi said happily: "Of course, forget it, if you enter my small shop, as long as you don't dislike it, you are all friends of Bai." ”
Yechen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, looked at Tang Wu, and said: "This couldn't be better, in fact, several of us have just come to this city, we are not familiar with the place, and it is really lucky to have Master Bai so hospitable, and make friends from all over the world!" ”
Why is this more and more wrong the more you hear it? Bai Xi muttered in his heart, but he still promised on his face, and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
"That's right." Yechen asked, "Does Master Bai know anything interesting here?" It's a very fun place. ”
Hearing Yechen ask Bai Xi like this, he was relieved, this woman looks like a powerful guy, it's not easy to seal her mouth, it's good to make a request, make a request to explain and discuss, if you don't ask for anything, when they leave, Bai Xi will have to consider moving.
Bai Xi's face showed joy, and he whispered: "It's just right, I really know a fun place." ”
Yechen asked curiously, "Tell me quickly, where is it?" ”
Bai Xi looked at Yechen, then at Tang Wu, and slightly hung their appetites, really thinking that good friends were playing tricks on each other, and said: "There is a black market underground in this city, there are many good things in it, as long as you have money, you can buy anything, and if you lack money, as long as you have the ability, you can also make a lot of money." ”
"Competent? What does it need? Yechen asked.
Bai Xi looked back and saw that the diners in the restaurant were eating, and no one noticed here, so he said, "The ability to kill people!" ”
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed, and he said, "The ability to kill? Sure enough, it's an interesting place, does Master Bai know how to enter that underground black market? ”
Bai Xi said proudly: "I have an entrance to the black market here. ”
This guy's hard-working food is still quite useful, and he actually mixed up with the position of the janitor, according to him, this kind of black market should be an important distribution center for trialists, and the gatekeeper of such a hidden and shady place definitely needs a wide range of contacts.
Yechen asked, "Can you take us to see and see?" ”
"Of course." Bai Xi readily agreed, "Are you going now?" ”
Yechen thought for a while and said, "Anyway, it's okay in the afternoon, let's go now." ”
Bai Xi stood up and said, "Okay, please here." ”
Bai Xi took Yechen and Tang Wu to a corner of the backyard, he pushed down some protruding bricks on the wall next to him, and the sound of a mechanical noose sounded, and the wall separated from each other, and behind the wall was a deep cave that could be descended through a somewhat steep staircase.
Bai Xi introduced: "This is it, please come with me." As he spoke, he walked in first.
Ye Chen followed in and observed that the wall was just an ordinary brick wall, or a single layer, and the trialist could break it with one punch, it seemed that this wall only played a role in covering the line of sight, and there was no protective effect. In fact, it's normal to think about it, that underground black market belongs to these powerful trialists, and it is not the property of Bai Xi's individuals, opening the door to him has already given him a great advantage, so will he really have the right to enter and exit the underground black market in his hands? Could it be that if Bai Xi destroys this mechanism outside, they, the trialists, can only be trapped below?
After the three of them came down, Bai Xi pointed to the stone wall next to him and said, "Press this bulge to open or close this mechanism from the inside." With that, he squeaked and slammed the wall shut.
There are no lighting tools such as wall lamps in this downward corridor, and it is completely dark when the door is closed, Bai Xi took out a flashlight from his pocket, opened it and said, "If you are not used to the darkness here, you can prepare a lighting thing when you go out and come in." ”
This corridor is quite long, on the way, Bai Xi introduced: "This was originally an air-raid shelter, and then it was converted into an underground shopping mall for a while, and then it was abandoned, and in recent years, it has been reactivated by a few trialists, as a temporary stronghold for exchanging loot, and then as more and more trialists join the exchange, it has slowly developed into a black market, and now, it is already very lively, and the infrastructure has also been built, so that some other people and businesses that have not seen the light have also been attracted to it, You'll see it when you get there, and it's grown into a small city. ”
Yechen and the others walked for almost twenty minutes, turned a corner, and suddenly opened up in front of them.
Bai Xi is right, with the continuous addition of trialists, it is already very prosperous here, there are many shops on both sides of some narrow roads, and there are many pedestrians on the road, and according to Yechen's observation, there are not only trialists here, but even trialists can only be counted as a minority. Yechen glanced at it casually, the business here is indeed prohibited, smuggling, money laundering, selling medicine, and selling bodies, and there is a gun shop not far from Yechen and them, guns are not banned in this city, so there is nothing to have a gun shop, but what do those bazookas on the shelves of the gun shop mean?
