04. Anomalous creatures
At this time, Xiao Nan also walked over, looked at this strange door and asked, "What is this?" ”
I shook my head helplessly, how do I know what this thing is? Could it be a door to a restaurant from another world? But to me, it's more of a jamb for pranks.
My stomach kept protesting, and it seemed to be constantly urging me to make a decision quickly.
"Why don't you ......," I asked, "shall we open the door and see?" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I was amused by my own stupid thoughts.
I just looked around this door carefully, this door is obviously open inside, but when I look around the back of the door, there is a wooden board connected to the door frame, and it is obvious that this door cannot be opened.
Xiao Nan didn't notice my expression, she seemed to agree with my words, and without waiting for me to react, she took the initiative to step forward, grabbed the doorknob, and pushed the door open.
"I'll go, can I really open it?"
I watched this scene in amazement, obviously detained, no matter how I looked at it, it only looked like a decorative door, and it could be pushed open?
I was tempted to look behind the door, but as it stands, I was mistaken, the plank behind the door was not sealed, but moved.
But as soon as this idea came out of my mind, I shoehorned it back.
Because I saw the scene inside the door.
Under normal circumstances, behind this single door, it should be an empty, dark park clearing, but the scene in front of me is obviously abnormal.
Inside the door, there was a brightly lit room, more than a dozen tables were neatly placed in the room, and there was a crisp sound of inadvertently tapping cups and dishes, and I could even vaguely see that some diners were eating.
I wondered if I was too tired and hallucinating, and everything in front of me indicated that there was clearly another space inside the door.
I didn't have to rub my eyes, or pinch my arms to confirm if it was a hallucination, my eyes glanced at Xiao Nan, not only me, but even her had a stunned expression.
We looked at each other, and while we couldn't figure out what was going on, we both decided to go inside first.
At this time, I couldn't help but think of the scene in "Another World Canteen" in my memory, and the two extremely similar scenes gradually overlapped together.
Perhaps, a dragon girl in a black maid outfit, a demon waiter, and a middle-aged uncle in a white chef's uniform will be waiting for the two of us inside, by the way: "Welcome to the view." ”
At least this familiar scene made me think so at first, until ......
"Aha, welcome, welcome, find a place to sit by the fire!"
A very rough sound, but with a sharp voice, broke what I had in mind.
I looked up and swept around, what kind of beautiful waitress is this? Is there any middle-aged uncle in a white chef's uniform? There are only a few busy ...... Short?
At the bar, the chefs in the back kitchen, including the waiters in the hall, were all a group of short men with long beards, full of meat, and stout bodies.
It's like the dwarf I've learned from movies and TV shows before, and I can't help but think, this can't be some Warcraft-themed restaurant where cosplay, right?
But after a closer look, I found that there was almost no such possibility, that they could not have pretended to be like this, but that they were born to look like this dwarf.
Xiao Nan and I watched all this dumbfounded, my focus was on the store, but Xiao Nan's focus was obviously on the customers, she tugged at my arm, and pointed to the limited number of diners who were dining in a trance.
I looked down and looked at it......
Where Xiao Nan's finger pointed, was a very strange-looking guest.
Originally, I was surprised to see the height of these waiters who were more than one meter tall, but when I saw the customer, I began to think, can the height of this customer in front of me be twenty centimeters?
If it weren't for the fact that she was holding a cherry in her two hands, I would have thought it was just a realistic figure.
Aside from her size, the diner was physically identical to that of a human, with long, wavy black hair draped over her shoulders and a long purple dress that set off her skin even fairer.
The most important thing is that this little guy has a pair of big blue wings, shaped like a pair of butterfly wings, the wings are flickering, and she is hovering in mid-air to eat with the power of her wings.
I rubbed my eyes, and I would rather believe that it was a larger fluttering moth than that it was a small man with wings.
However, the delicate facial features and the clearly bifurcated fingers all prove that this is really a villain with butterfly wings!
I turned my head to look at the other customers, and then I instantly felt that this customer with a pair of butterfly wings was probably the most normal customer in the entire store.
There are currently five diners currently dining...... Except for this living figure that is less than 20 centimeters tall and has wings, two of them are estimated to be from the same place as the shopkeeper, and they look very much like 'dwarves'.
The other two guests did not eat, but played unknown cards near a table, one of them with a meaty face and three heads on his neck, with different expressions, one head staring intently at the card, and the other two heads ...... They were talking to each other.
Another guest...... It was a lizard sitting in a chair, acting like a human, wearing a pair of glasses, holding a card in one hand and scratching its bare head with the other, as if thinking about what to do next.
If this scene were to appear on a movie set, I promise, I would find it funny.
But when something like this actually appeared in front of me, I just felt that I must be dreaming, and it was a nightmare.
After a long flight and an hour or two of walking on the ground, I only felt very tired, but I was sure that I was very awake now, and I had never been so awake since I was born.
I felt that the life experience and knowledge accumulated in my head over the past 18 years seemed to be completely insufficient.
This feeling is no different from seeing a ghost alive.
At this time, a very low voice suddenly entered my ears: "Hey, second, look, there are two white and tender human ...... over there"
I turned my head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and it turned out to be a guy with three heads, and the other two heads who were talking were looking at me and Xiao Nan with a greedy look.
"Third child, tell me, how long has it been since we've eaten fresh human flesh?"
It may be that the strong man with three heads is too strong, even if he deliberately wants to lower his voice, the voice is still like a muffled thunder, resounding throughout the tavern.
The head that was looking at the cards, and the lizardman on the other side who was studying the cards, heard the sound and turned their heads around almost at the same time, looking at us.
"Oh, second, third, oh my God, how long has it been since we've seen a human that big? Calculate the time, 300 years should be there, right? ”
The lizardman didn't speak, but I clearly saw a greedy look in his eyes, staring at me and Xiao Nan as if staring at a plate of delicious dishes, and kept sticking out his thin tongue...... It's like a snake letter, licking the corners of its mouth.
"Huh? What the? Mankind? Hearing this voice, the little man who was holding a cherry and gnawing on it threw away the cherry in his hand directly, flapped his wings slightly, flew in front of us in an instant, looked us up and down, and then showed a deflated look, turned his head, and said to the big head:
"I said you're blind, right? Have you forgotten what this place is? What's so unusual about humans growing up this big? Fuss. Let me tell you, these two people are my magic materials, and it just so happens that my white phosphorous flower needs human bones as fertilizer, so don't beat their ideas! ”
Fresh human flesh? Magic materials? Bone fertilizer? What exactly are they talking about?
"Xiao Nan......" I tried to calm the turbulent waves in my heart, and said in that slightly trembling voice: "We...... Run, right? ”
At this time, the two of us still had the heart to eat, and even the sleepiness that swept over was forced back by the two of us.
"Ahh
I saw Xiao Nan hurriedly turn around and open the door, while I grabbed two suitcases, hit the door frame, spread my legs, and rushed out.
The only thought in my mind at that time was to get out of this hellish place quickly, how could I notice anything else?
We have been running for a long time, all the way without looking back, I don't know when it started, only to gradually realize that something is wrong, but what is wrong, I can't say why, so I hurriedly called Xiao Nan and stopped.
"Xiao Nan, do you think there's anything wrong with us along the way?"
I saw Xiao Nan pondering for a moment, thinking seriously about this problem, and then said:
"I just feel ...... It's so soft underfoot......"
