On the bright streets, a young man in a sweatshirt hurriedly walked forward.

His demeanor was slightly restrained, his restless eyes were hidden under his sweatshirt and hat, sometimes his hands were in his pockets, looking left and right, sometimes he was bowing his head and moving forward, his steps were small and hurried.

This is a famous street for fun in the neighborhood.

Two rows of storefronts along the street, bars, dance halls, and video game parlors can be seen everywhere, people spitting in the corners, people vomiting and kicking garbage cans by the trash cans, and sexy prostitutes standing at the mouth of the alleys to solicit business.

Li Xiang came to find his girlfriend.

As a white-collar employee of a listed company, Li Xiang is definitely one of the most enviable groups in the lower ten districts, plus he is good-looking and has a good temper, and he has chased a lot of girls since he was a child.

However, he didn't like the blind date girls who had a good net worth and a good job arranged for him by his parents, but became a couple with a street girl he met by chance.

The two have been together for five years, and their personalities complement each other, and although they occasionally quarrel, the overall relationship is not bad.

It's just that Li Xiang has never been able to fit into the circle of his girlfriend...... He felt uncomfortable just walking on this street full of lights and bustle.

Everyone around him, looking at him, seemed to be full of deep meaning and bad intentions.

After walking a long circle, the white-collar young man who had never had a clue finally couldn't help but stop, squatted down in front of an old-looking homeless man, put down a 50 yuan general currency cash, and then asked in a low voice: "Do you know where to sell bak kut teh?" ”

Bak Kut Teh is a recent new drink, and it is said that the craft can be traced back to before the arrival of hellish creatures, and it is a popular way of drinking tea with flesh and bone in the Chinese circle.

To put it bluntly, it is a broth simmered over low heat, and it is made by adding various "herbal tea" herbs.

When the poor people in the lower 10 districts have been eating food puree made with artificial flavors for a long time and have eaten it to the point of vomiting, the taste of this drink, which is known as the real broth, has captured the hearts of many people at once.

And this kind of bak kut tea is not expensive, only about 30 yuan a cup, which is much cheaper than those original ecological canned foods that often cost hundreds of dollars...... In addition, it is served in a plastic paper cup with a cute pattern printed on it, and with a straw inserted, you can sip it slowly while shopping.

Therefore, it quickly became popular on the streets, especially by many young girls!

But I don't know if it's hunger marketing or what, this thing is not sold in large quantities, and the way it is sold is quite mysterious, and you can only buy a cup very occasionally.

Li Xiang still remembers that some time ago, his girlfriend was talking about drinking bak kut tea, and one afternoon three days ago, she heard her girlfriend say that there was a sale on Bliss Street here, and she couldn't wait for Li Xiang to get off work, so she hurriedly came to buy it herself......

After that, they couldn't be contacted again.

"Bak Kut Teh?" After listening to Li Xiang's question, the old beggar slowly raised his head and stared at Li Xiang's face with cloudy eyes.

I saw that Li Xiang was a little hairy in my heart, so I slowly stretched out my hand and pointed: "Over there, go to the deepest part along the alley, turn right and go to the second floor......"

"Okay, okay, thank you!" Li Xiang hurriedly stood up.

He trotted all the way into the depths of the alley, and following the old beggar's guidance, climbed the metal staircase outside the building, and found a rusty little door on the second floor.

"This is it?" Li Xiang looked up and down at the spray paint pattern of a plastic paper cup on the door, and nodded secretly, "It should be right." ”

Knock knock.

He knocked on the door, which quickly opened.

A short-haired girl with smoky makeup was bored leaning against the door, looking at him.

"What's the matter?"

Li Xiang hurriedly said: "May I ask if this is a place that sells bak kut teh......

"30 cups." The smoky girl lazily stretched out her hand, "Only cash is accepted." ”

"No, no, I'm not going to buy tea." Li Xiang scratched his head embarrassedly, "I want to find someone, my girlfriend, she may have come here to buy tea three days ago...... She's about this tall, wearing a sequined crop top, denim shorts, fishnet stockings......"

"You're looking for someone?" The smoky girl blinked, then laughed, "Probably seen...... Why don't you come in and sit down. We've seen so many people that I'm not sure for a while, so I'm going to ask the others to reminisce about it. ”

"Thank you so much." Li Xiang didn't doubt him, nodded gratefully, and quickly followed the smoky girl into the door.

Inside...... It's a dimly lit metal corridor.

After walking for a while, I suddenly came to an indoor hall that looked like an abandoned factory floor, with all kinds of scrapped and rusty huge machines and metal brackets.

Li Xiang was surprised to see that on some metal supports, white sealed bags were suspended with white ropes, the size of which was like the kind of plastic snakeskin bag, but it was obviously filled with liquid, forming the shape of water droplets under the action of gravity.

At the bottom of some of the bags, there is a structure similar to that of a wooden keg with a beer tap underneath.

"This is where we make and sell bak kut teh." The smoky girl was very enthusiastic and invited Li Xiang to sit down on a shabby leather sofa, then took out a paper cup that had not been sealed, unscrewed one of the faucets, took a glass of orange-yellow liquid, and handed it to Li Xiang.

"You haven't drunk bak kut tea yet, this cup is free, you can try it, it tastes very good."

"Wait here for a while, I'll call the others...... We work with different people every day, and maybe they've seen the person you're looking for. ”

"By the way, your girlfriend, what's her name?"

"Chu Xiaoxuan, her name is Chu Xiaoxuan." Li Xiang replied halfway up on the sofa, and then sat back down with a little restraint and took a sip of tea......

Suddenly, the popularity of this drink is not unreasonable, the taste is really good, not only the mellow flavor of meat, but also the mixed fragrance of several plants, but also with a hint of spiciness......

"Drink slowly." The smoky girl smiled and quickly left.

"What, that so-called Bak Kut Teh has the toxins of the Spider Undead in it?"

In the transport plane, Lupin listened to Leila's explanation of the relevant information of this mission, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, what we are dealing with this time is a small group that may be formed by several spider immortals?" And this group is actually disguised as an ordinary gang that produces and sells drinks? ”

"Most of the sequelae of the undead who fail are eating human flesh and drinking human blood...... Will they do business honestly? ”

"That's what I'm going to talk ......about next," the wolf girl took a deep breath and her tone became calm, "The Fire Phoenix Gang has conducted a number of ingredient tests on the cup of bak kut tea collected, not only detecting trace amounts of spider toxins, but also detecting the DNA source of the broth......

"It's human flesh."
