After nearly a year of living together, Zhang Longchu has gradually understood that Celia is the kind of girl who looks smart and assertive and capable on the surface, but is actually very emotionally sensitive.

I know you're unintentional. ”

"Yes, unintentionally," Celia said hatefully after venting, her emotions gradually returned to normal, and she said hatefully: "It's all Barbara's fault, I spent so much thought last week to make a novel 'Plane Battle' themed back-to-school prom plan, and she immediately included 'Conqueror Theme Park' in the graduation travel option, it's really disgusting!"

Hey, forget it, the more you think about this kind of thing, the more angry it becomes, it will only make you feel bad, I want to thank you today, of course we should be happy, well, I had dinner with Anne and them the other day, and I knew a super delicious Hiyamaru restaurant, you are Asian, you should be born with a love of yusheng, right? ”

"I like it very much," Zhang Longchu said with a smile: "In addition, I will popularize a little knowledge for you, in fact, the first to eat yusheng was not the Rimaru people, but our Chinese people, including sushi rolls and vinegared rice balls, which are also a kind of military rations for the ancient Chinese army..."

Before he could finish speaking, Celia interrupted with a frown: "Don't talk nonsense, Long Chu, girls don't like to listen to people popularize historical knowledge before dinner.

Oh, you're the worst kind of male companion. ", starting the car and rushing into the city traffic.

After shuttling in the rainstorm for a long time, the sports car turned and drove into a rather old neighborhood with buildings on both sides, and Zhang Longchu, who saw the familiar cleanliness through the rain curtain outside the car window, and felt the car slowly decelerate, blurted out: "Is the sushi restaurant you are talking about on Fish Scale Street, Celia?" ”

"yes, you know that?" Celia asked casually, and Zhang Longchu shrugged and jokingly replied: "Of course, who wouldn't know about Artists' Street in Los Angeles, especially a teenager like me who loves art and life." ”

As the two men talked, the sports car slowly stopped outside a Japanese restaurant with a lifelike tuna hanging on the outside and a wooden sign that read 'Rintaro'.

After getting out of the car and walking into the restaurant, Zhang Longchu found that the store was completely antique Himaru style, and the layout seemed quite compact, but it cleverly ensured the private space of diners, so he couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and muttered: "Speaking of the understanding of the words delicate and small, there is indeed no one who can compare to the Nichimaru people."

Even though the seats look smaller than canned sardines, they feel very comfortable, which is strange when you think about it. ”

"こんにち (Hello)." Celia ignored the whispers of Zhang Longchu beside her, and the Asian girl who was standing at the door in an elegant cherry blossom kimono curled her tongue, greeted her in Hichimaru language, and asked, "Please help us find a seat, can we eat alone?" ”

"はい (yes)." The kimono-clad hostess bowed shallowly and agreed, and with small steps, she guided the two guests to a black curtain with the word "tuna" written on it on the left and a floor-to-ceiling window covered by a bamboo curtain on the right.

In Milliken, unless it is a fast food or self-service sushi restaurant made by a machine or a layman, the charge for Japanese food is quite expensive, and Zhang Longchu has never been to a sushi restaurant opened by a serious Japanese pill person before being adopted, spending hundreds of meters of rice just to eat a few plates of sashimi wrapped in rice with sauce;

However, he had tried this light but rather flavorful diet a few times in recent months, and he also knew the Himaru-style dining habits, so he took off his shoes and slipped into the partition with Celia, sat cross-legged on opposite sides of a black low table, and casually ordered a fresh sea fish set.

After waiting for the waiter who received his meal list to leave, Zhang Longchu picked up the small porcelain cup in front of him and pretended to take a sip of tea, glanced at Celia's awkward sitting posture a few times, and couldn't help but pout: "Dear sister, it's really unsightly for you to sit like this, you can't learn the formal Japanese pill dining etiquette, the girl kneels...

Forget it, 'kneel and sit', a girl like you who advocates women's rights in your bones is absolutely unwilling to do it, so can't you put your legs together and sit diagonally? ”

"Shut up, Long Chu, is there anyone who rules that girls can't sit cross-legged like men when they eat sushi.

This is Millican, the freest country in the world, and I was born from..."Celia shrugged her shoulders and interrupted Zhang Longchu's words in serious protest.

But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhang Longchu, "Of course you have the freedom to sit however you want, but at the same time, Celia, no matter what, you have to admit that there is a difference between men and women.

There are some movements that men will do naturally, but if women follow along, it will not seem too right, well, not quite right, for example, it is normal for men to be topless unless they are on a naturist beach, and women will do it too much. ”

"You're using some examples of special circumstances to hide the idea of sexism, Long Chu..."

The voice was too poignant, and after it entered the ears, it immediately made people's hairs stand on end, Celia and Zhang Longchu looked at each other a few times, and no longer had the intention to argue, and stammered and asked: "You, did you hear the wailing, this, this is not my hallucination, right?" ”

"Of course not." Zhang Longchu came back to his senses, frowned and climbed directly out of the window, lifted the bamboo curtain and looked out, and was stunned to see that in the downpour, several pedestrian umbrellas on the other side of the road fell to the ground, scratching their faces desperately with both hands, and their mouths let out a terrible howl.

And in this wail, bursts of pale red mist emanated from the pores around those pedestrians from time to time, penetrated through the clothes, and continued to rise in the rain curtain, revealing a kind of ethereal momentum straight up to the sky.

In the sushi restaurant, Celia saw Zhang Longchu open the bamboo curtain and look out the window, so she didn't say a word, didn't move, stood up curiously and apprehensively, walked to him and asked, "What's wrong, what's going on, Long Chu?" On the one hand, the bamboo curtain should also be lifted.

"Don't lift it, Celia, believe me, you don't want to see what's going on outside," Feeling the bamboo curtain in his hand, Zhang Longchu hurriedly pressed it hard, turned to look up at Celia and said, "Is it okay to go back and sit down, no matter what happens, I will deal with it." ”

It's a pity that Celia, who has a stubborn personality and an unusually strong curiosity, didn't pay attention to Zhang Longchu's kindness, and said forcefully, "My courage is not as you imagined...", and forcefully lifted the corner of the bamboo curtain and looked out the window.

By this time the wailing pedestrians had become unusually thin, completely skinny and bony figures, and their heads had shrivelled up like skeletons, but they were still struggling desperately and shaking their bodies.

Seeing this scene, Celia's stubbornness suddenly turned into horror, choked in shock, took a few steps back, tripped over the dwarf, slumped on the tatami mat, her teeth warped, and exclaimed incoherently: "Oh my God, that's, that's what, what's wrong with them..."

Just by the voice coming from behind, he guessed that there must have been a mess behind him, Zhang Longchu sighed, turned around, gently hugged Celia and comforted: "I don't know what happened to those people, but it seems that they should have been injured by some supernatural force, so don't be afraid of Celia, don't forget that I am also extraordinary."

With me, you will not be harmed, I promise, it will not be, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, okay? ”

Hearing Zhang Longchu's categorical promise and feeling his warm embrace, Celia gradually calmed down, took a deep breath and muttered: "Well, okay, okay, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid...", which is both an answer and a kind of self-hypnotic comfort.

Feeling that the girl's stiff body slowly became soft again, Zhang Longchu knew that she had gotten rid of the horror, so he gently let go of his embrace, helped Celia lean against the wooden wall to rest, and after putting away the tea cup that had fallen on the ground, he came to the window again, lifted the bamboo curtain and looked out.

By this time, the howling pedestrians were all spread on the ground, and they could no longer move because of the heavy rain.

"Are you dead, oh, if so many people really died, wouldn't more than a dozen souls be wasted..." This scene fell into his eyes, Zhang Longchu couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he thought in his heart.

He wanted to see the lives and deaths of those poor creatures, but it was terrifying to think of how they looked when they were killed, and Fish Scale Street was a gathering place for superpowers, and it was easy to get into trouble if he openly devoured souls in broad daylight, so he could only dismiss the idea in the end.

With a long sigh of regret, Zhang Longchu waited quietly for a while, and then heard a rapid 'Di Woo Woo...' siren sounded in his ears from far and near.

Soon several police cars came to a gallop to the side of the road opposite the sushi restaurant, and a dozen uniformed police officers of different colors and ages got out of the car in the rain, cautiously put their hands on the pistol holster at their waists, and slowly approached the murdered pedestrians lying on the ground.

When they came to the nearest few people, several policemen crouched down and looked at them, and immediately turned around and raised their hands to their colleagues to make a gesture prohibiting approaching, and at the same time shouted a few words to the intercom pinned to their shoulders, stood up, and walked cautiously towards the building closest to the victim's pedestrian.

Just as they were slowly moving forward, suddenly the iron door of the gallery in front of a police officer twisted and exploded with a loud 'bang', and then a thin man flew out of it like a ball.
