Chapter 286: It's not haunted, it's haunted by death
Yunling, Cangcheng.
The white clouds are long, and the small city is as calm as ever.
Until the rumbling sound of trucks broke the peace of the courtyard.
The truck's steeplechase boxes were loaded with dozens of bags of goods.
The courier hands over the document board:
"Hello, the two-ton peanuts you ordered have arrived, please sign for it!"
Luo He took the dragon and snake, signed the name, returned the board to the courier, and said casually:
"I heard that your Falcon Logistics is getting bigger and bigger?"
"yes." The courier smiled, "A few days ago, our company participated in the rescue in Jiangcheng, and later it was praised by the association." It's more dangerous, but the treatment is okay......"
In a world full of wild pets, it is inevitable to encounter dangers in logistics.
"Thank you." Luo He nodded: "I'll let the pet beast help unload the goods." β
"No hassle!"
The courier pulls out a space stone with the company's logo on it, and summons a Hercules beetle about the size of a tortoise.
The Hercules beetle has horns like halberds, is powerful and has a matte black glow, and can easily lift objects a thousand times heavier than itself.
With the cooperation of the pet beast, the little brother easily unloaded the two-ton cargo and said, "Then I won't bother!" β
Dozens of large bags piled on top of each other.
The chipmunk lay on Luo He's shoulder, a little curious: "Squeak? β
"Two-ton peanuts."
Luo He said truthfully: "It is a first-class resource, and it must be much worse than the peanuts you found, so it can be regarded as winning by quantity." β
Such a large amount of first-level resources is not cheap, and the bonus of Jiangcheng's operation can be regarded as a ride.
"Squeak!" The chipmunk's eyes lit up and he scurried over excitedly.
Bang la blah.
It opened the bag, and the peanuts rolled down and gathered into a small mountain.
The chipmunk stretched out two small paws, picked up a handful of peanuts, and raised them towards the sky:
"Squeak!"
All right!
Don't be afraid of going hungry now!
Luo He smiled dumbly.
In fact, he never let the chipmunks go hungry, the key is that this guy is very distressed, and he is very panicked if he doesn't have enough food.
But it's nature.
In addition, there is always a senior who covets snacks......
I have to guard against it!
"Come with me on a long trip in two days, chipmunk."
Luo He raised two fingers and said, "After the deed, two cars!" β
The chipmunk was stunned for a moment, his little eyes flashing with disbelief.
Immediately, it was menacing and nodded vigorously: "Squeak!" β
Your Luo He's business is my chipmunk's business!
*
Midnight.
Squeak Crunch β
Luo He couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and always felt like rats were making trouble in the room.
lifted the quilt and got up, came to the living room, Luo He turned on the light suddenly.
Scold!
The chipmunk stood on the closet and jerked around, his little hands against the wall with their backs to each other, looking like an escaped prisoner caught by a searchlight.
Luo He said blankly: "Three watches in the middle of the night, what are the chipmunks doing?" β
The chipmunk shook his head into a rattle: "Squeak! β
Luo He: "Get out of the way." β
The chipmunks opened their hands, still refusing to back down.
Luo He: "Don't get out of the way, I won't make peanut candy for you tomorrow." β
The chipmunks hung their heads in frustration and obediently got out of the way.
I saw that a large hole had been dug out of the wall where the paintings were originally hung.
And in the big hole, the peanuts were stuffed to the brim, and one peanut fell from a high place, and the bones rolled to Luo He's feet.
The air was suddenly quiet.
Luo He looked at the wall that was used as a granary by chipmunks, and his mood was delicate.
This house isn't already full of peanuts, is it?!
It seems that after waking up, I have to mobilize the big guys and dig out the walls together......
Luo He didn't dig deeper.
Xiang Chipmunks said that there is no need to worry about food shortages, so there is no need to use the walls as food storage rooms.
The chipmunk also nodded, indicating that it was wrong this time, pay attention next time!
Back to the bedroom.
Dead.
Luo He yawned, turned off the light and fell asleep in a daze, but heard a squirming sound in the living room.
Damn.
It's haunted today!
Luo He came to the living room with a 'knock' and pressed the light button.
In the bright living room, there is a figure sitting on the sofa!
The white-haired woman, with thin and pale cheeks, sat on the sofa, her cloak removed, her long hair as white as snow falling down.
In an instant, his eyes met the white-haired woman's, and the air was dead and silent for a moment.
Luo He's face was strange.
It's not haunted, it's haunted!
"Surprised?" Death cast his gaze.
Luo He shook his head, nodded again, and said hesitantly:
"What's that...... Death senior, in the middle of the night, why did you come to my house? β
And it also appeared in the living room of my house!
Luo He had mixed feelings.
Near cardiac arrest!
"You said I wanted to say hello to you before I came."
Death calmly said, "That's why I'm here." β
Luo He: "......"
How can there be a door-to-door greeting!
Slowly.
Did I inadvertently think of death this morning?
Could this be, the Grim Reaper's summoning?
"What nonsense are you thinking?"
looked at Luo He's complicated face.
Death retorted, and said coldly:
"I just happened to be looking for you."
Luo He was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you looking for me?" β
"It's inconvenient for me to talk in the world, so change places."
The Grim Reaper stretched out his hand, and the black mist enveloped Luo He in an instant, and ordered, "Relax your body and don't resist." β
Luo He complied, only to feel that the familiar feeling surged up again, and his consciousness quickly sank into the boundless black sea.
The waves are undulating and the sea breeze blows.
Luo He slowly opened his eyes and smelled the smell of the decaying dead, and the shroud sail came into view.
Really.
It's back on this Grim Reaper's nail boat!
Luo He propped up his upper body from the deck, put his hands on his knees, and looked around.
The ship of the dead marches in the netherworld, and in the dark world, only the withered yellow oil lamps illuminate a small area of the sea. The pale and beautiful Grim Reaper stood on the deck, the sea breeze on her bloodless cheeks and lips, her long silver-white hair blowing in the wind.
Slowly, she cast her gaze, and the pair of silver pupils fixed on Luo He, and whispered:
"Go back to the palace first."
There was a powerful coercion behind him.
Luo He turned back.
The fire of hell surged from the neck of the huge and burly Cerberus, his eyes glowed with green light, and the smell of sulfur wafted from the big open mouths of the three heads, and he shuddered at Luo He.
The next moment.
The three-headed dog of hell half-knelt down and rubbed Luo He's palm with three plush heads.
"Long time no see." Luo He smiled, rubbed the three-headed dog's head, and said in surprise: "Hey, why are you all bald on your heads?" β
The three-headed dog of hell stiffened suddenly, looked in the direction of its master, but saw that the god of death had his back to it, and his aura was as cold as ice.
"Roar!" The three-headed dogs shook their heads in unison.
Bald? Nope!
Luo He scratched his head, and immediately reached out and took out the honey cake prepared in advance and refrigerated from the jade pendant, and said:
"One of you, no fighting!"
In an instant, the three-headed dog of hell widened its eyes and wagged its large, snake-like tail eagerly.
Luo He threw the honey cakes into the mouth of the long-awaited three-headed dog one by one.
The three heads squinted their eyes, and they couldn't help grinning at the unique flavor of the honey cake after it was refrigerated.
This thing smells so much more than bones!
The Grim Reaper turned his back to Luo He, quietly looked in the direction of the palace, and suddenly said:
"We're here."
Once again, this extravagant and lifeless palace.
Luo He followed the Grim Reaper, walked in the corridor covered with red carpet, and asked:
"What the hell is the matter with me?"
"I'm hungry, cook me dinner."
The Grim Reaper ordered forcefully and coldly: "The request is soup, and it must be similar to the last time." β
Luo He was stunned.
Drag me to hell just so I can make you dinner?
I'm a chef, but I can't just ask me to cook, right?
"If you can satisfy meβ"
The Grim Reaper glanced at Luo He: "I will reward you with a treasure and answer one of your questions." β
Luo He rolled up his sleeves: "Where is the kitchen?" β
It doesn't matter if the treasure is a treasure or not, the main thing is like cooking!
Why the Grim Reaper suddenly wanted to drink soup, Luo He couldn't figure it out.
There are quite a lot of "blackened version" of reed chicken in the spirit world, stew her a black-bone chicken soup, and Luo He can look at it.
Luo He said: "How about the chicken soup?" β
"Don't want to drink chicken soup." The Grim Reaper said calmly, "Make Dao vegetarian soup, my manservant." β
Luo He: "......"
It is necessary to make vegetarian soup, and it must be similar to the seafood banquet last time.
You've got a lot to ask for!
It just so happens that there are a lot of fresh mushrooms in the unicorn cabinet, which can be made into vegetarian soup with cabbage, bean sprouts, radish and other vegetarian dishes.
Then use dry starch as raw material, you can make a famous vegetarian dish, [vegetarian shark fin].
It is not only vegetarian soup, but also seafood, all live!
Luo He was about to walk towards the kitchen, but was suddenly stopped by death: "Wait a minute." β
"What's wrong?" Luo He looked back.
"Your puppy, did you come with you this time?"
Xiu, this time I need you to sacrifice again!
Luo He summoned Xiu, shook his head at it hard, and then picked up Xiu and handed it to the Grim Reaper.
Xiu looked at the bald areata on the head of the three-headed dog of hell and shrunk his neck, wondering if he would have the same fate.
Unexpectedly, the Grim Reaper stroked Xiu extremely gently, holding it in his arms and gently smoothing his hair.
Hellhound's eyes widened.
Why, it's not fair!
Meanwhile.
Inside the kitchen.
Luo He set out to cook today's soup:
[Vegan shark fin soup].
Next to the stove, Xiao Jiu controlled the flames and stewed the vegetarian broth in the Vermilion Bird Ding.
When the soup boils, add shredded white mushrooms, shredded matsutake mushrooms, shredded oyster mushrooms and other mushrooms, add vegetarian shark fin and boil until boiling, and then season with salt.
When stirring, stirring with a green dragon ladle can catalyze the umami of the ingredients greatly. After removing from the pot, drizzle with a little cabernet wine to further enhance the taste of shark fin soup.
In the small white cup, the shark fin soup is wisps and fragrant, which is fake and real.
Luo He covered the cup and personally brought this soup to the face of death.
Inside, a golden ceiling lamp illuminates a long table of luxury, and a cold white flame burns on a silver candlestick.
Under the reflection of the glass, the queen of the spirit world sat on the main seat, holding her cheeks in a daze, her eyes were scattered and distant.
At this time, Luo He came over.
Death's eyes flashed slightly, he sat up straight, raised his chin, and motioned for Luo He to come up.
Luo He presented the small white cup in front of the god of death and lifted the lid:
"Vegan shark fin soup, please use it slowly."
The aroma is overwhelming.
A small soup contains five completely different holy beast flavors.
Death's eyes flickered slightly: "This is ...... Vegetarian? β
Luo He nodded: "Yes, this soup is a vegetarian dish." β
Simple ingredients, with the chef's magic treatment, can also be fake.
Death bowed slightly, picked up the spoon at hand, scooped a spoonful of vegetarian shark fin soup, and put it in his mouth.
She closed her eyes and savored the aftertaste.
The delicious taste slides into the mouth before you even notice it, turning into a warm current to moisten the whole body. All the unhappiness, in front of the food, all disappeared.
Death exhaled softly, picked up the napkin on his left hand, and elegantly wiped the corners of his lips.
Luo He was surprised and said, "Are you not satisfied? β
"No, satisfied."
Death said lightly, "So next, I want to talk to you about the reward." β
"Why don't you finish the soup and then talk about the reward?"
Chef Luo was not in a hurry to ask for a reward, and suggested that the Grim Reaper should focus on food, saying, "It's not delicious when it's cold!" β
The Grim Reaper glanced at Luo He with a little surprise, nodded quietly, and took a small sip.
Glancing at Luo He, who was standing beside him, the god of death commanded, "Sit." β
"Sit...... Where? β
Death gestured to his right.
Luo He took out the dining chair made of gold, secretly stammered, and immediately sat down.
"Let's talk about what we just did......"
Death flashed a spoon.
In Luo He's line of sight, her movements suddenly became faster, incredibly fast, and she sat at the end of the table farther away.
"This spoon is what I want to give you."
Death said: "It can slow down the flow of time. β
Luo He was stunned for a moment and said, "But you obviously moved faster just now, why do you say that you are delaying time?" β
"It seems to you that the world is slowing down. But in the eyes of others, it's you who get faster. β
The Grim Reaper threw the spoon at Luo He: "You can take it and feel it." β
Luo He held the spoon and tried to feel the energy surging in it.
The next moment, Luo He was surprised to find that the gluttonous dinner knife stored separately actually echoed this spoon!
Boom!
Luo He raised his head, his pupils constricted.
The Grim Reaper threw out a table knife, and the tip of the knife was like a dagger, shooting straight at Luo He!
Buzz β
The spoon in his hand emitted some kind of peculiar magnetic field.
Luo He only felt that everything around him had slowed down, and the trajectory of the dagger was clearly visible.
Subconsciously, Luo He made a reaction move.
Sa!
The dagger flew almost against his cheek and stuck in the wall, the end buzzing and trembling!
Luo He was afraid.
But the grim reaper looked calm, and he was in control, and said:
"As you can see, what you just saw is the power of this spoon."
Luo He nodded in a complicated mood.
To put it simply, this spoon's ability is [Bullet Time]!
[Bullet Time] is a relatively common ability, and the protagonist in "The Matrix" leans over to dodge bullets in slow motion, which is the source of bullet time.
But.
What is the origin of this spoon?
Luo He fell into a deep groan.
The Grim Reaper glanced at Luo He, as if reading the question on his face, and said bluntly:
"Its name is [Sloth], and it goes well with the [Gluttony] in your hand."
Luo He was taken aback.
Lazy spoon?
Looking at the exquisite spoon in his hand, Luo He couldn't help but speculate.
Could it be that the "Seven Deadly Sins" set used to solve the war is a whole set of cutlery?
"I can also give you a question."
Death lifted his slender legs and said slowly:
"Only one, think about it and ask again."
Luo He had many questions that he wanted to ask the Grim Reaper, but he could only ask one.
After struggling for a long time, Luo He asked for advice:
"I want to ask, how can I find the candle dragon? Or how can we get into where He is? β
"Those are two questions, but, forget it...... The answer isβ"
Death said calmly: "Pretend to be blind, don't forget." β
"Pretending to be blind?"
Luo He was at a loss.
Then I'll just find the hunting king to team up this time!
He doesn't even need to pretend!
"Take the [lazy spoon]." Death waved his hand lightly: "You should go, I will come to you next time......"
A powerful air current swept through Luo He's body.
Luo He's consciousness continued to rise and return to reality.
When I opened my eyes, I saw myself collapsed on the sofa, and the chipmunk was staring at me nervously: "Squeak? β
"It's okay......" Luo He rubbed his neck and muttered, "It's just a hell......"
Pretend to be blind.
I don't know what the Grim Reaper means by finding the candle dragon.
Luo He groaned... Depart tomorrow and head to Heijiang first!
