Chapter 59: The Seven Days of Conversation (Part II)
When you concentrate all your attention on one thing, time flies, and now that's exactly what happened, Liu Zijin listened carefully to the movement of the kitchen, he couldn't imagine that there were restaurants doing such things in such a happy city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And the owner of the city, apparently, also knows about this matter.
"What the hell is going on......?"
Liu Zijin asked himself again, and at this time, the door was pushed open. It was Robert, who came with a smell of wine, sat down in his chair in a daze, and chattered excitedly: "Hey, it's a blessing to you, only first-time guests and some special people can come to this dark room to eat their special dishes." ”
"You've been here?"
"Yes...... I've been here. Robert closed his eyes and reminisced with great enjoyment, "The deliciousness of each dish cannot be described in words, just as a mortal cannot peek into his own soul." ”
"Really?" Liu Zijin asked rhetorically without expectation, and then immediately asked the next question, "Robert, are there any people in this city who have suddenly disappeared?"
"What's wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"I'm just thinking, is there really no one leaving here?"
Robert smiled happily and affirmed, "No, everyone stays here, and no one suddenly disappears." ”
"Not one?"
"Not a single one. ”
What the hell are those in the kitchen...... Liu Zijin squinted and pondered, and at this time the waiter had already served the appetizer. The soup and the small bowl were placed in front of the two of them at a precise angle, and Liu Zijin opened the lid of the soup bowl. Surprisingly, this is not so much a soup as a bowl of clear water.
Liu Zijin tasted it, it was light and tasteless, just like ordinary white water. He suspected that there was something in the water, something similar to a hallucinogen, that could alter a person's sense of taste. Although in this regard, after being purified by the academy, he can be said to be invincible, but he still stopped and peeked into Robert's expression instead.
Robert was always a good drinker, and he was always drinking heartily, and the drink would always leak out of his mouth and spill onto his clothes and floor. And when eating this dish, Robert ate very slowly, a small bowl of soup, but he drank it for a long time, looking at his eyes closed and quietly reminiscing, the delicious taste on the tip of his tongue must have made him enjoy it very much.
Then, the main course also arrived, and Liu Zijin carefully observed the main course, which was a piece of meat soaked in a cloudy sauce, the surface of the meat was bloodshot, and the middle cut part revealed a tender pink, and the surface was perfectly ripe for three ripeness. Robert ate a piece of meat neatly, his saliva constantly gushing, but his mouth chewing slowly and carefully, like a blacksmith sharpening his own blade. As soon as he ate the next piece, he ate the next piece and did not say a word until he had eaten it all, which was unusual for his chattering personality and showed how delicious the dish was.
Liu Zijin looked down at the meat in front of him, this should not be a piece of human flesh, but he didn't have any interest in eating it, he quietly took the plate under the table, and burned it directly to ashes with disgust, the tempting aroma of meat continued to rise, which made Robert appetite.
"Why doesn't this piece of meat of yours seem to be different from mine? I've never smelled so strong. ”
"Perhaps?"
Liu Zi pretended to put the plate on the table, and at this time the waiter came up again, this time with two lids in his hands, and he couldn't see the food inside.
Robert asked in surprise, "I thought it was over, but I didn't expect there to be another dish." ”
The waiter bowed over the dish and smiled, "This is our restaurant's signature dish." ”
"Oh! this is the legendary signature dish!"
"Yes, we wish you a pleasant meal. ”
"I really have to thank you, if it weren't for your light, I don't know when I would have eaten this dish. ”
Robert couldn't wait to open the lid, and it was still a piece of meat, blood-red, with silk.
Liu Zijin narrowed his eyes, he opened the lid on his side and took a look, got up and said, "I need to go to the toilet, you can eat by yourself first." ”
"Okay, go and come back quickly, if you lose the optimal temperature, maybe it won't be so delicious." ”
"Hmm. ”
Liu Zijin walked towards the kitchen, and as he walked, he recalled the signature dish just now. No matter how much the sauce is hidden, no matter how perfectly it is cooked, the familiar taste, the smell that is absolutely impossible to forget, the smell that I let myself vomit for an hour when I first saw it, there is no doubt that it is a piece of human flesh.
Liu Zijin walked to the kitchen door, and a cat stopped him, and the cat looked at him and barked. Liu Zijin moved to the side, and the cat moved with him, Liu Zijin moved again, and then the cat suddenly stood up, slowly shed its hair in front of him, and turned into a human form.
"Guest, what is your business in the kitchen?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Spyro, the owner of this restaurant. ”
"Oh, that's right. ”
Liu Zijin stared at him, put his hand on his waist, and said with a smile: "I have a question for you, do you have time?"
"Of course, please come with me. ”
Spyro led Liu Zijin to a small room, which was a bright room, contrary to the norm in the store.
"You may be seated. What's wrong with you?"
"No, I just wanted to ask, why is there human flesh. ”
Spyro smiled, a sharp light shining from the erect pupils in his narrowed eyes.
"Human flesh? No, no, it's not human flesh. ”
"Oh?
Spyro laughed, "That's your fear. ”
"Don't think that saying these mysterious things will change the subject. ”
"People who are anxious. However, I know that words don't convince you, so let's go and see it, seeing is believing. ”
With that, Spyro stood up, and with a gentle press against the wall, a secret passage appeared leading to the kitchen.
"You're trying to lead me into the secret room and kill me?"
"I'm not so arrogant as to think I can kill such a powerful swordsman. It's just that it's a bit of a no-brainer to walk from here, and you don't know, many of our guests want to go to our kitchen. ”
"Then I'm disrespectful. ”
Liu Zijin followed Spyro from the dark passage to the kitchen, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, he knew why Spyro would personally guard the entrance to the kitchen. The chef there was not a man or a cat, it was a giant spinning wheel, and every time the wheel rotated from top to bottom, a piece of meat appeared, and the meat was processed by other people and served on the table.
"What is this?"
"Guess. ”
"I can't guess that. ”
"Then don't guess, it's better for you not to know. ”
"Where does the non-stop sound of severing human bones with a knife or sword come from?"
The closer she walked, the more confused Liu Zijin became, and the sound echoed throughout the kitchen, but she didn't know where it came from.
"Every ten years, someone hears this voice and thinks we're a perverted restaurant that cooks human flesh," said Spyro. And every time, I'm going to bring them here and let them see and hear what it is. Spyro pointed his finger at the wheel, "Come on, you can listen too." ”
Liu Zijin put his ear to it, and suddenly the sound became louder, and the sound he heard was coming from the wheel. Click, click, like a call from hell. Liu Zijin left the wheel and asked, "Can I see the meat it produces?"
"Please. ”
Liu Zijin carefully observed this piece of meat, it had the characteristics of all the meat in the world, but it was not any of them.
"What kind of meat is this?"
"I don't know, but I'll name him, Spyro's little lamb. ”
“...... I thought you would say guinea pigs. ”
Spyro laughed and said, "I don't eat this." ”
"Why?"
"Every chef doesn't want to eat his own specialty, just as every doctor doesn't heal himself. ”
"You're right. So why is this piece of meat my fear?"
"You don't like human flesh, do you?"
"No one would like it. ”
"But you're different from them, you hate this thing from the bottom of your heart, and you're very sensitive. So you only see this part of him, and he responds to the fear in your heart. ”
"And what about in the eyes of the others?"
"Naturally, it's their favorite thing, that's why they eat so happily. ”
"I see, please forgive me for being abrupt. ”
"You don't have to blame yourself, every time someone like you comes to eat in my restaurant, I feel sincerely happy, there are many people in this city who are drunk and dreaming of death, but there are few people with a sense of justice and responsibility. ”
"That's why you let a first-time customer into a dark room? When you can't see, the other senses become acute, touch, taste, smell, and hearing. ”
"Yes. ”
"I think it's time for me to leave, it's always uncomfortable for chefs to have a stranger standing in the kitchen. Guys, I'm sorry. ”
"Please. ”
With that, Liu Zijin walked back to the foyer through the dark passage. In the foyer, Robert looked contented, his hands on his stomach, panting for air.
"You've been on for a long time this time......"
"yes...... I'm out of appetite. ”
"That's a pity, if I didn't have to eat it, I'd have eaten your share. ”
Liu Zijin didn't speak, he picked up the lid and looked at it again. No matter how you look at it, it's a bloody piece of human flesh. He sighed and asked inwardly, "Is what he said true? Or are you lying to me, why did Medea ask me to come here, just to enjoy the food, or did she want to use my hand to destroy this place?"
Thinking of this, Liu Zijin felt a little impatient, he felt that there was no time to continue to mix here. He stood up and said to Robert, "I've worked hard for you today, and I still have some things to do." When you're rested, go back first, I'll pay the bill, and if you want, you can go back to the tavern and get a few more bottles, in my name, of course. Well, goodbye. ”
Liu Zijin can't wait to visit every corner of the city, he wants to know all the secrets hidden in the shadows of the city. He also wanted to know if the city would have something to do with his ultimate goal - that is, whether the city would be the reason for the city's deep crisis. And, where is this city, and how did you come to be...... The city is in that huge maelstrom?
