Chapter 13: The Temptation of Food
"You go, don't stay here." David finally squeezed out the sentence, took the medicine and turned to go out.
Akiri watched him return to the bedroom, and without pausing for half a second, he slipped into the basement door, the lock had been broken by the players, and the front half of the blade was still stuck in the crack of the door.
I thought it would be difficult to open, but I didn't expect it to open with a slight pull, and the broken blade fell to the ground with a "clang", so scared that Qiu Li almost jumped up.
Fortunately, the rain was loud, and the sound of metal falling was weakened by the wind and rain. Looking at the staircase, the players were not there, and the corpse of the doorman was still lying in place, she closed the door with her backhand, folded her hands in front of the doorman, bowed, and then tiptoed out.
This toss, she only felt unbearable hunger in her stomach, went up to the first floor, there was no one in the empty hall and corridor, stood and listened quietly for a while, it was indeed empty, and her heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Back in the kitchen, she looked at the intact refrigerator and was shocked! This thing is amazing, she locks the door behind her back and takes out the cooking belongings.
In the past, whenever she stayed up late, she would make a bowl of egg noodles, so choose it.
It was raining outside, and the smell came from the kitchen on the first floor in the middle of the night......
-----------------
In the second half of the night, Selena and John rested. None of them chose a bed, and they still shrunk on their respective sofas, but fortunately, there were more sofas in Tracy's living room.
Ada sat near the door, with only one light on, and Selena cowered on a hidden corner couch with a large coffee table between her and John.
She looked at the tightly closed floor-to-ceiling windows opposite, the sandy translucent curtains swaying gently, and she didn't know where the wind came from.
The rain shows no signs of abating. In the second half of the night, she was on duty, and she didn't feel hungry when she fell asleep, and once she woke up, hunger followed her like a shadow.
She picked up the teacup on her right hand, it was the instant coffee she had just found in the living room, and the extra sugar made her stomach feel more full.
She leaned back on the soft sofa, listened to the sound of rain outside the window, and unconsciously closed her eyes, originally wanting to rest her eyes for a while, but the sound of the rain, which was almost white noise, made her fall into a deep sleep unconsciously.
Something seemed to be wandering outside the window, and the curtains were lifted by the wind.
There were a few wet footprints on the floor of the living room.
A sigh echoed through the room.
John opened his eyes, and he found him standing in a church with Selena and Ida next to him, as well as a group of people excitedly discussing the capture of the shrine maiden.
Selena's face was solemn, and she asked Ada, "Tell me, what happened while we were sleeping?" ”
Ida looked ashamed and lowered her head: "I'm asleep too." ”
John stretched out his cuffs to look at it, and touched his head again, he was wearing a bowler hat and a well-fitting black suit.
Selena and Ada each wore a tutu, and Selena wore a half-veil.
He was about to say something, when Selena raised her finger and made a "shhh" gesture on her lips.
The sounds around me are getting clearer and clearer.
"Today's witch judgment meeting is about to begin, and I heard that they brought the disease in our town!"
"I've heard they drink human blood at midnight."
"They also steal children."
……
A group of men next to her were talking excitedly, and every now and then a few vicious profanities came out.
Selena vaguely felt that she had found some clues, and was about to ask a few men next to her.
The bell rang, and the church fell silent.
The bishop walked briskly to the center of the auditorium, where four black-clad priests stood behind him, dragging seven young women who were tied together by ropes.
The women were ragged and embarrassed, and a few fell to the ground unsteadily on their feet.
The bishop enumerated their crimes, and at last his voice stirred up: "My believers, God's people, punish them in your way!" Wash away their sins with blood. ”
There was a burst of cheers from below. The men were excited to rush to the stage, but were stopped by two black-clad priests: "Line up, come up one by one." ”
Selena tightened her hands and watched as they took turns on stage to humiliate seven women, one of whom was estimated to be a minor, with a childish face full of fear and unease.
Soon it was their turn, with John in front, Ida in second, and Selena in third.
John followed the example of the man in front of him, kicked the woman in front of him hard, and then walked to the other side with a curse.
Ida seemed a little unbearable, but in front of everyone's eyes, she had to pick up the rotten vegetable leaves on the ground, throw them at several women, and run to the other side.
Selena looked at a few women huddled in a ball, and her mind raced to the ground, something was wrong here.
She turned her head to look at the still frenetic crowd, their conversation still ringing in her ears.
She stretched out her hands, half-knelt on the ground and hugged the seven women in turn, and in the midst of everyone's puzzled eyes, she stood up and said loudly: "They are not guilty!" ”
Angry yelling was heard around her, and she was dragged away.
The light and shadow changed, and she appeared in a square, with a tall pile of firewood in the center, and she was tied to a group of women.
She saw the frightened Ida in the audience, and the somewhat gloating John.
As the temperature of the flame rises, the firewood pile becomes a sea of fire in a matter of moments......
She struggled in pain, woke up from the nightmare, sweaty, her eyes heavy, and after trying several times, she finally opened her eyes, and the room was pitch black.
The touch of the hand, she was still on the couch, she returned to reality.
It's just that the original lights don't know when they were turned off.
"Ada, Ada, where are you?" She exhaled softly, but no one answered, and there was silence and darkness around her.
She forcibly propped herself up and slowly stood up.
The wind stopped.
Turning on the light, she looked around blankly, and Ida and John disappeared without a trace.
In the kitchen room on the first floor, Akiri slices luncheon meat, puts it on a pan and deepens it until golden brown on both sides, and beats two eggs.
In the other stove, put a little spicy in the soup, take out the boiled ramen, spread the fried luncheon meat and omelette on the noodles, sprinkle a little chopped green onion, and a bowl of fragrant egg noodles is ready.
I didn't care about the heat, took a bite of noodles with chopsticks, and immediately exhaled with satisfaction.
This taste, the gods do not change!
With her stomach in stock and her mood less tight, she made four sandwiches, packed them in a bento box, and carried them in her hand.
Happily opened the door.
With a shake of his hand, he almost had a heart attack.
Qiu Li's heart is 10,000 grass and mud horses passing through, do the people here like to be so scary.
Selena, with long brown hair and a slender figure, was leaning against the wall of the hallway with her hands on her chest, staring at Akiri who came out of the kitchen.
Her voice was hoarse, there were creases on her clothes, and her dark circles were heavy: "Qiuli, my name is Selena, I want to talk to you." ”
Akiri keenly noticed that her gaze glanced at her bento box while she swallowed unconsciously.
There was no malice in her expression.
Akiri calmed down and squeezed out a smile.
Hold up the bento in your hand in the usual concerned tone of the NPC: "Selena, are you hungry?" I'll treat you to supper. ”
