This lunch gave Nothingness a new understanding of Lu Xiang.

In order to defeat a phantom-like enemy, she returned to mortal land at the cost of her own strength, and hibernated in the strange "Nether" for decades.

For the inhabitants of the upper world, psionic energy is everything.

After all, not everyone can be like Song Lan, who can be lazy and be promoted at the same time, most of them have paid a long and painful price to come here, and it is very likely that it will be the length of a lifetime.

Until then, they were no different from the "crickets" in the eyes of the inhabitants of the upper world.

The object of the pastime, the puppet manipulated by the threads of fate, in addition to unimaginable effort, needs enough luck so that they do not die in strife before they grow up.

Among them, luck is particularly important.

"Nothingness" has seen countless "crickets" with excellent quality that he is optimistic about, and finally lost the possibility of being promoted to the upper world for some reasons that even he did not expect.

Because of this, the inhabitants of the upper world who have survived this difficult process value what they have more than anyone else, and most of them will join the ranks of "fighting crickets" without any psychological burden after coming to the upper world.

It's finally time to get through it, and it's their turn to control the fate of others.

This is the most common mindset in the upper world.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, Lu Xiang's decision is particularly commendable.

"Do you regret it?"

Nothingness was a little curious.

"Nope."

Lu Xiang's answer did not hesitate, when the one hundred and fifty fragments returned to her hands, she had thought about this question.

The answer is obvious.

No matter how many times she does it all over again, she will make the same choice, optimizing up to a few details in the plan.

After all, the original intention of this matter was not to carry out the same kind of extermination plan, but to make everyone aware of their situation, and the only regret is that the persuasion eventually evolved into fierce legitimate defense, although Song Lan has always emphasized that he regards everyone in the upper world as a friend, but except for her and 'nothingness', no one seems to buy Song Lan's account.

From this point of view, Song Lan has indeed grown a lot during the time of her disappearance.

In addition to his epic culinary enhancements, he also learned how to get along with people.

Everyone in the Law Enforcement Department of the Seventeenth District really regarded him as a good colleague and friend, and no one would definitely carry a dagger coated with poison and stab him in the back when Song Lan resigned.

"And when it comes to separating psionic energy, I also have some selfish intentions."

"Selfishness?"

"Only when psionic energy and memory are abandoned can we truly return to humanity."

"Back to humanity? Why did you come up with the idea of returning to humanity? ”

"Nothingness" was even more unexpected.

In the upper world, humans are not really respectable, they are no different from roadside crickets in the eyes of the inhabitants, the only difference is that the believers of the church are domestic crickets, and the others are wild crickets.

As for the followers of the Cult of the Mechanicus, they are roughly equivalent to the crickets with long knives at the tail and a brutal temperament that are not easy to catch.

It's a simple emotion, like no one wants to be a cricket or some other insect.

"Because there is a dumb bird that stays in my garden and preaches to me about the good things that are human."

Lu Xiang glanced at Song Lan.

During their conversation, the dumb bird added another meal.

Honestly, Nothingness was too focused on the conversation to be aware of the crisis he was facing—the beef and potatoes were almost eaten by them, and after a while, he would have to eat bibimbap with the soup of roasted beef with potatoes.

Imagine if you had a dumb bird in your garden every day, and you had a lot of time, it would be hard not to observe and study the habits of this alien creature.

In fact, her diary of her observations of the Dumb Bird is much older.

Silly Bird always complains that life in the upper world is too boring and can hardly find any way to entertain him, and it is difficult for him to imagine how the inhabitants of the upper world spend all these long years, and whenever she asks, the other party will say, "For humans, this is a normal demand".

Although theoretically they all originally completed the promotion ceremony as human beings, they often lived a life of innocence and few desires much longer than becoming inhabitants of the upper world.

According to Lu Xiang's observations, only those who have no distractions are likely to complete the promotion ceremony, which means that they often have this ideal when they can remember, and become a creed that accompanies them, and those who have experienced a rich life like a dumb bird are outliers.

But many of the things Song Lan mentioned sounded very interesting, and brought some waves to her cookie-cutter life.

And now, she finally experienced all the pleasures that the other party had said.

For example, when she was researching "A Love Trick Every Day", the best-selling love code accompanied her through a happy time, and also made her have feelings for Song Lan that were absolutely impossible before.

Now this incident has become one of the sources of her happiness, and human life is much richer than the days of staring at the garden in the upper world every day.

By the way, there are also two cartoons, "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Cat and Mouse", which also brought her great joy.

The living room in her apartment still has a life-height SpongeBob SquarePants doll, but since Nightheron moved in, SpongeBob has been NightHeron's pillow most of the time.

"I think that's the end of the conversation."

Nothingness stretched out his right hand, and just now, the bachelor radar issued an early warning to him.

He observed that Lu Xiang's eyes towards Song Lan were getting softer and softer, and as a single person, he had cultivated an excellent sense of crisis after experiencing the secret calculations of the previous few days.

There is indeed fun to being human.

But that's not what he wants to talk about right now.

"It's rare that Lao Song made such a big pot of beef, let's still try his ...... Hey? ”

The atmosphere at the table fell into a long silence.

It turns out that although Lao Xu has a radar for dog food behavior, he is still a complete newcomer in the field of food protection.

But this can't be blamed on him, after all, with his noble status, even if he encountered a dinner in the past, it was a state where no one dared to move if he didn't move his chopsticks.

Young Mr. Nothingness has never met a despicable person who eats all the meat while others are talking!

However, for Song Lan and Lu Xiang, who cultivated the night heroon, chatting will never affect their dishes, otherwise when you finish chatting, you will find that there are only smooth plates left on the table.

However, Song Lan is a socially responsible person after all, and he left a little broth for their old void.

Even if you can't eat potatoes and beef, you can still make a good lunch with soup.

"Despicable villain!"

"Nothingness" slapped the case, and once again stretched out his right hand to Song Lan, "Give back my 152 believers and potato and beef stew!" ”

"Don't be impulsive, old man."

Song Lan, who had eaten a full meal, wiped the corners of her mouth, "We are a team. ”

"By the time you eat both the beef and the potatoes, we're no longer companions!"

The heart of "nothingness" is overwhelmed with grief.

He originally had high expectations for this lunch, Song Lan used the technique of simmering over low heat, and it was simmered for more than two hours, and the tempting aroma of meat filled the whole room, which is why he was reluctant to secretly put Shakira into the pot several times before.

And now, all that's left of this huge casserole is bits and pieces of seasoning and soup base!

"What a mature team needs is a division of labor."

Song Lan said, "For example, in today's lunch, you are responsible for purchasing ingredients and washing dishes. ”

"You even want me to wash the dishes!"

"Nothingness" couldn't believe his ears, and the grief in his heart was constantly turning into killing intent at this moment, "Look at the move, old void stab!" ”

……

"Congratulations, you've finally grown into an old void."

After the meal, Lu Xiang spoke highly of the "Old Void Spike", although it failed to cause substantial damage to Song Lan, but it also meant that he was not fooled by Song Lan again this time, and ran to wash the dishes in a daze.

This is undoubtedly a historic step forward.

Silly Bird takes on the task of washing dishes for his unethical behavior and disruption of the team's unity.

"I didn't feel happy at all."

Nothingness slumped.

He felt that the source of his happiness should be the process of showing off the rice and beef, not the old void stab at Song Lan.

But there are many things in this world that even the gods can't do.

What is eaten cannot be returned to the pot, and this is one of them.

"How's it going out there?"

Lu Xiang is the only person who has been out in the past few days, she has systematically studied reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance in Daystar, and the "Sea of Souls" has made her feel like a tiger, even if she walks on the street, she will not be discovered by the people from the expatriate department of the coalition government.

"Nothingness" decided to talk about business to distract himself from the pathos in his heart.

"The swarm doctors presented their findings to the medical team of Oasis and the Coalition Government, and they were able to develop a special serum."

After the dust settled, the "rot" was defeated, and the innocent people who died of the plague were brought back to life by the power of the god of life, the reliable medical team finally developed a serum to fight the infectious disease.

Although the people of the Oasis no longer need the serum, they can change their minds and put the developed serum in the history museum of the Oasis.

In a few hundred years, they will be seen by posterity, and they may be considered to have played an important role in the plague that has swept the entire country.

"The good news is that the Brotherhood has been completely destroyed, and Captain Doug and the Resistance have teamed up to rescue the people who have been kidnapped here for various reasons, and after the information is integrated, they will use the city of Root and District 17 as a transit point to send them home."

Princess Lieyang, a wealthy woman, said that the cost of the journey would be sponsored by the Twelfth Nation.

That being said, it is an extremely complex and time-consuming task.

The rescued people are mixed with some remnants of the Brotherhood and members of the fraud gang, they want to fish in troubled waters as victims and escape from this place of right and wrong, how to screen out these criminals and punish them according to the law, it depends on Captain Doug's sense of smell and wisdom.

The Resistance weren't good at this, and Captain Doug complained that the experts they sent couldn't even understand the Skynet database, and could only act as mascots.

Speaking of this, Lu Xiang couldn't help but sigh.

The soul of her work was burning.

At this time in the past, she should have been on the front line to complete the screening work herself, and the slogan of the law enforcers in District 17 was never to wronged a good person, and never let a bad person go, but now it is inconvenient for her to appear in public, so the responsibility is all on Captain Doug and the Special Operations Team.

The real headaches are yet to come.

The council couldn't get through to her phone, so it sent a bunch of orders to her mailbox.

In order to absorb her and Song Lan, two "outstanding talents", the council used all the relationships they could think of, and they were moved by emotion and reason, and what made Lu Xiang feel even more incredible was that they didn't know where to find out the news that they liked to eat potatoes, and upgraded the staff kitchen of the counterintelligence department, and from all over the coalition government, the chef who knew the best at cooking potatoes came.

The counterintelligence dispatch was accompanied by a menu for the staff cafeteria.

From Monday to Sunday, there are different kinds of potatoes every day.

One of the most striking stunts is that the counterintelligence service has the best staff meals in the coalition government.

Cunning intelligence officers!

Lu Xiang admitted that he was a little moved when he saw the menu and pictures in the staff canteen.

That's why she asked to eat roast beef with potatoes today.

"With the current momentum, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the 17th district to stay any longer, and as long as they show up, lobbyists from the council will come to the door."

As for Song Lan's transfer letter, it is more straightforward and clear, "Special Advisor to the Psionic Research Institute, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security of the Coalition Government, this is your transfer order. ”

"What does the Department of Homeland Security do?"

Song Lan's voice came from the kitchen.

"In your previous words, it's probably the role of a general."

Dumb Bird always said that he admired a general named Polusalino very much, and she had never heard of this person after checking countless materials, and then she got Song Lan drunk again before she came out of it.

It turned out that it was just a character from a comic, known as General Fish.

"I refuse."

"According to the situation on the appointment, wages and benefits have increased by about 25 times."

"Sorry, not interested."

Song Lan put on a look of beware of pyramid schemes.

With the danger of this world, every civilian member of the border enforcer's department will be kidnapped on his way to work, and if he becomes a general, God knows what kind of danger he will encounter.

At that time, he is very likely to encounter a terrifying opponent of the level of 'True Overlord Sunset Chai Ke'.

Just the slightest thought is chilling.

"In non-war times, I work two days a week, and I have free time, and I can clock in on any two days."

In this era of 007, does it really exist to work two days a week?

Lu Xiang read aloud the content of the appointment, "Due to the special position, the attendance of this position will not be included in the performance appraisal." ”

The sound of water in the kitchen stopped.

About thirty seconds later, Song Lan's head poked out of the hidden door of the kitchen, forming a rather eerie picture.

Lu Xiang guessed that now his waist was bent back 60 degrees to appear such a picture comparable to a horror movie.

This is another proof that there is nothing wrong with Song Lan's waist.

Silly Bird was staring at the two people in the living room with his wise eyes, "Is the source of the news reliable?" ”

Thank you for killing the leader of the sand yarn fish~! Thank you very much!

The small theater of its two hundred and ninety-four:

Wednesday of a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, in the morning

"It's a great talent, and I think a little potato might be a better survival expert than a chef! This is an innate sense of crisis! ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying."

Song Lan touched her chin and whispered to Hannah.

The two of them were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice a cold look falling on their backs.

Some people say that children can see things that adults can't.

This is true for the current baby artichoke.

The little baby sat in the crib and looked at Lu Xiang with his eyes blank.

In her eyes, a "well" appeared on Lu Xiang's forehead.

"You guys had a great time."

The fluttering voice made the two tremble, and Hannah, who had fully learned the knowledge of fishing, judged the situation at the first time.

Very well, the main target of anger is Song Lan.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that there was a meeting in the bureau at night, so I won't bother for now."

One of the salted fish criteria, if you don't decide to get into trouble, you should slip away!

"Go ahead, work matters."

Lu Xiang's smile was extraordinarily bright.

"I also suddenly remembered that our department had a meeting ...... in the evening"

"I have a schedule of meetings from your department."

Lu Xiang's hand was on Song Lan's shoulder, stopping him from slipping away, and Song Lan could only stretch out his right hand and make a gesture of Erkang at Hannah's back.

He was answered by a crisp slam of the door.

Say good team friendship!

At the same time, a devilish whisper sounded in his ears, "It seems that you have a big opinion of my porridge." ”
