After holding it in his hand, Xie Chen held the soup spoon in his hand and stirred it twice.

Then he scooped up a bite and put it into his mouth.

The air conditioner has been blowing for a long time, and this bowl of soup is also very cold.

There is only a hint of sweetness in the mouth, and it is even negligible.

And those lotus seeds are not particularly fresh, it is estimated that they were left for a while and not eaten immediately.

I can guarantee that this is definitely the most unpleasant bowl of lotus seed soup I have ever drunk.

Except for a hint of sweetness, there is no lotus seed flavor, and I am like eating a bowl of white sugar water.

"Isn't it going to be rancid?"

After tasting several sips in a row, the more I tasted, the more I felt that the taste was strange, and even a little sour at the back.

If there is a bitter taste, then it is okay, at least I know that the core of the lotus seed has not been removed, but I also know that I am eating the lotus seed.

"No wonder no one in the banquet hall eats this."

Although I don't know what the quality of the food on the other white plates is, if they are all like this bowl of lotus seed soup, it really can't be compared with the food on the other golden plates.

Maybe it's not just the rules of the ballroom.

Judging from the personality of these guests, the more they are not allowed to eat, the more likely they will really try it secretly.

Xie Chen remembered the strange-faced man's evaluation of the white plate food in the banquet hall, and directly said that the dog would not eat it.

Although he quibbled that he had heard it from other guests.

But I still think that with that guy's character, I definitely tasted a little secretly.

After drinking half of this bowl of lotus seed soup, I don't know if the psychological effect is still effective.

The white bowl I saw in front of me seemed to have a ghost, and it was too shaky to see clearly.

Xie Chen hurriedly rubbed his eyes with his other hand, but the ghost still existed and did not disappear with his own rubbing of his eyes.

"Forget it, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor!"

Xie Chen gritted his teeth, put the whole bowl of lotus seed soup into his mouth, and swallowed his stomach.

After burping, Xie Chen didn't feel too obviously unwell, except for drinking this really unpalatable lotus seed soup, his stomach reacted a little.

It's not like the rules say, the limbs are numb and the mind is in a trance.

The ghosting that had just appeared visually eased a bit.

"Is that all there is to it?"

Xie Chen's heart was full of doubts, and he sat on the bed and waited for the side effects to come.

Unfortunately, after several minutes, there was still no change.

Xie Chen touched his body in disbelief.

"Is the food on the white plate just a façade?"

Xie Chen muttered, feeling a little hairy in his heart, if this is the case, then isn't eating this thing by himself to finish the fun?

The thought of this immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

Xie Chen propped himself on the bed and was about to get up, but there was a cramping pain in his stomach.

After a dry cough, a stumbling foot fell directly to the ground, and the side face followed to make intimate contact with the ground.

This made Xie Chen look uncomfortable.

You must know that there are no toilets in any other place except the banquet hall, which will make your stomach cramps worse.

"It's just a pit!"

Xie Chen lay on the ground and rolled several times, and couldn't help but curse a few words in his mouth.

Just as he crawled towards the door, the cramps in his stomach slowly eased.

The pain eased and gave me the strength to get up from the ground for a while.

Xie Chen supported the dresser beside him with one hand and slowly walked towards the door.

The moment you touch the doorknob, your brain loses control of your entire body as if you were electrocuted.

Like a soft-tissue animal, he was lying on the ground weakly, and it was difficult to even blink his eyelids.

It feels like consciousness is sealed, forever imprisoned in the body.

The door to the upper room was very close to him, and he was already close at hand, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.

Now I can't feel the pain in my stomach anymore.

And not to mention the stomach, the consciousness began to gradually blur.

Xie Chen's mind was full of fear, and even more regret, regretting why he drank that bowl of lotus seed soup.

I regret why I don't study the rules anymore.

I regret why I was the one who was chosen, but I couldn't save myself.

Although pocket watches have the ability to go back in time.

But now, even pressing a pocket watch is impossible.

The consciousness collapsed, and it was no longer a trance.

For a moment, it was like a steel knife piercing his chest, followed by a slow downward slash.

His chest seemed to be on fire, and the violent tearing sensation was like a nerve, like nails the size of a thumb, and he slammed a hammer into his head.

Xie Chen opened his mouth and howled in pain on the ground.

But there was no sound in his throat, and his body was twitching everywhere.

His eyes were so red that they were about to drip blood, and the bloodshot occupied almost all the whites of his eyes, making his two eyes look terrible red.

There are so many images that flash through my mind.

There was even the rotten and smelly guy in the room of the strange-faced man just now.

The phrase "help me" seems to be engraved into my mind very clearly, like a projector.

Xie Chen tried his best to regain control of his body, but consciousness is such an ethereal thing, and it is difficult for him to recover in his current state.

The pain rushed to his head like an axe, and he couldn't even scream in his throat.

Because there is no way to control the movement of the whole body, only the muscles are spasmed in place.

This went on for an unknown amount of time.

Xie Chen himself passed out many times.

But every time I woke up, I was overwhelmed by the wave of great pain, and the cautious sobriety disappeared again.

After repeating it many times.

Xie Chen's fingers moved twice.

It's a pity that even my breathing is very weak now, and I don't know how many times I closed my eyes, but I haven't opened them yet.

Over time.

The physical and mental pressure seemed to be slowly relieved, and Xie Chen opened his eyes with great difficulty, and a wail subconsciously came out of his throat.

The foul smell in the room was getting stronger.

I just woke up, but the first time I took a full sip of this taste.

I almost fainted again.

After a wail.

Xie Chen tentatively moved his body.

But the whole body didn't react at all, and the hands and feet were like a short circuit in the instrument, and they couldn't receive the instructions from the center at all.

Being able to move now is just a conditioned reflex of the nerves in the muscles.

Xie Chen wants to cry without tears.

That long agony was like a person walking for a lifetime.

The only difference is that I have been tortured for a lifetime.

Xie Chen gasped for air.

At least breathing is slowly recovering.

Although these smells make the whole body become erratic, and it is not conducive to the control of the nerves over the muscles, there is nothing I can do now.

It took nearly an hour or two to lie on the ground like this, and only then could Xie Chen slowly move his hands.

But it was only a slight movement, and the joints of the palms and fingers could not move at all.

And just like that, the sharp pain still reflected back from the muscle groups, tormenting himself to grin for a while.

In the middle, because I was too tired, I also slept a little.

While the body is gradually recovering, the spirit is also relaxed.

All the unfortunate things happened to me, and I was afraid that the food on the white plate would be fake?

There may be no side effects at all, and the food doesn't have any effect, it's just an eye-catcher.

But now after eating this bowl of lotus seed soup.

Xie Chen was already palpitating.

It's a little too powerful.

But whether it is useful or not, you still have to wait for yourself to fully recover before you can compare.

In this situation, it is difficult to even think about the problems, let alone eliminate the context of these things in between.

Noticing that there was still a sharp pain in the joints of his hands, Xie Chen simply stopped.

Lying on the ground, squinting and falling asleep again.

But this time, I couldn't wait for myself to wake up naturally.

A sharp knock on the door woke him up.

It shouldn't count as knocking on the door.

To be precise, the word "knock on the door" should be used to be more accurate.

Someone stood outside the room, slapping hard, and the sound of the blow was deafening into the room.

Xie Chen, who was lying on the ground and resting for a while, was immediately woken up by this sound.

I myself was in a cold sweat.

In this state, if the other party breaks in, then he is a lamb to the slaughter.

Xie Chen was obsessed with one eye, trying to guess through the crack in the door in front of him, who was the person knocking on the door?

But after squinting for a long time, the distance is really far, and the door gap is small, so there is no way to see the specific situation clearly.

"No way!"

"Gotta get closer."
