Chapter 190: A Peaceful Life
Enron is actually a person who has no pursuits.
He is 22 years old, lives on the second floor of his canteen, is unmarried, and has no girlfriend.
Although he is a spirit master, An Ran also likes the work of the canteen, and on days when there is no assignment, he will be open until late at night.
An Ran does not smoke, only drinks lightly, and strives to go to bed before two o'clock at night, sleeping for eight hours a day.
Before going to bed, An Ran likes to drink a glass of warm milk, and then confirm the condition of the tentacles on his body, the thorns of hell, go to bed, and immediately fall asleep, sleeping until dawn, without leaving any fatigue and stress until the next day.
The shrine maidens all said that Enron was healthy.
Not obsessed with winning or losing, not entangled in troubles, and not setting up enemies that keep you awake at night, this is the attitude of Enron towards life.
From Enron's own point of view, it is actually good to travel to this world after death and have a new beginning.
It's just that this world is full of all kinds of demons and monsters, and on the first page of the primer of the Heguo Soul Eradicator Primer, there is a sentence:
Weirdness is attracted to each other.
Yes.
It's easy to meet another weirdness.
And the weird envoys who have signed a contract with the weird, except for the spirit masters, are also easy to encounter weirdness.
This is not only because ordinary people turn to these soul exorcists when they are in trouble, but also because the weirdness itself is like the gravitational pull between planets, attracting each other.
It's like Aoko Ruki, who is being taken care of by her grandmother's spirit, will accidentally walk into a late-night cafeteria, and the more you come into contact with weirdness, the more weirdness you will naturally encounter, and so on, if you don't become stronger, then maybe one day it will become weird food.
It's a world of the jungle.
That's why Enron began his career as a soul slayer.
Even if what the evil god father said was nonsense and deceitful, after An Ran awakened the tentacles and awakened the thorns of hell, he often encountered strange events, which made him have to accept this setting.
Of course, there is also a reason, and that is that the food made as an ingredient is strange, and it has a taste that ordinary cuisine cannot match at all.
For a chef who aspires to be a chef, it makes sense to look for delicious ingredients and research cooking techniques to maximize their flavors.
For example, the recent research conducted by Enron is an investigation of the flavor of the flesh in the heart of the resentful spirit.
As everyone knows.
Well, according to Enron's judgment, the different causes of resentment, the size of the heart meat, the taste, the degree of fatness, etc., all have completely different manifestations.
What he is studying now is which type of resentful spirit's heart meat tastes the best.
Although in the eyes of the vast majority of soul removers, resentful spirits are resentful spirits, there is no difference, they are all Shikami who summons a contract after meeting or a weird face to finish the work, but Enron is different.
The difference between the flesh of female and male wraiths.
The difference in taste between adult and juvenile wraiths.
The size of the ghost who died by suicide and the spirit that was killed by someone.
Even the flavor of foreign resentful spirits is different from that of Japanese resentful spirits.
These are Enron's research topics.
For example, he once dealt with a resentful spirit from the Soviet Union, who was said to have been a mafia in the Soviet country, working as a thug at a sushi restaurant in Ikebukuro, and later died in a sneak attack by the enemy, turned into a resentful spirit, and slaughtered half of the gangster.
Enron received the commission to solve this resentful spirit from a foreign country.
The meat of the heart at that time was rough and had a strong smell of alcohol.
In order to respect the heart of this resentful spirit, An Ran also went to the international supermarket to buy sour cream, and with cabbage, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, etc., with this piece of meat, boiled into a pot of Suzhou special heart meat borscht, dipped in whole wheat bread and eaten, let him appreciate the rough flavor of the Far North country.
For another example, An Ran also encountered a resentful spirit left after the accidental death of a monk, and because it was not a soul destroyer, the other party's soul was not devoured by the strangeness of the contract, but turned into an earthbound spirit.
After An Ran solved it, he found that the flesh of his heart was like a piece of delicate tofu, and there was a faint smell of sandalwood, probably because he often burned incense and chanted Buddha.
In order to respect this piece of heart, An Ran chose the production method of Zhai cuisine, adding almonds and sugar to make an almond tofu, and when you taste it carefully, you can also feel the solemn experience of Buddhism to cleanse the soul, which is quite amazing.
Well, it seems dangerous to describe it like that.
But Enron knew very well that the flesh and blood of resentful spirits and human flesh and blood were not the same thing.
Although the name of the heart meat is "meat", it is actually more like a polymer of some kind of spirit, and the taste is also very different from ordinary meat, and in the mouths of other soul removers, this is called "spirit core", that is, the core of the soul, which is made of spiritual matter.
Isn't it easy to understand with such an explanation?
If Enron just swallows the polymer of the spirit body ordinarily, it cannot completely absorb the nutrients in it, but if it is cooked properly, it can stimulate the spirit polymer to the maximum extent, so that Enron can absorb it better.
Compared to being eaten in the stomach, it is happier to eat it after careful cooking after investigation and research.
They have all died so unreasonably, and if there is no one to pay attention to their lives and guide their souls to the final path, wouldn't it be too pitiful?
Enron thinks so.
Of course, Enron's eating behavior is not very common even in the circle of soul slayers.
Many of the soul slayers he had worked with would have been surprised and surprised by Enron's serious cooking of the "spirit core".
Spirit cores themselves are not uncommon, and there are also some schools of soul slayer masters who think that eating spirit cores to make their contracts weird can increase their power, but the only one who makes the dishes is probably An Ran.
Enron has long been accustomed to those doubts.
Normally, he would invite his fellow soul eliminators to taste the strange food he made, and although he didn't know if these people could draw spiritual power from it, the food was still better for everyone to share.
Enron was not a stingy person to share.
Those soul exorcists who resisted, doubted, and refused at first, after eating the safe food, would say the same thing:
"It smells so good."
Far from it.
In short, Enron didn't just study weird cuisine for the sake of his own tongue, but had a serious academic plan.
As Enron's friends, Sakamoto and Ma of the Shinjuku branch of the Weird Research Association are naturally also helpful, and often get some strange things that no one wants to entrust to Enron at a glance.
Enron knew very well that Sakamoto and Ma were helping him expand the range of ingredients, and he was very grateful for that.
Of course, if Sakamoto and Ma could pay honestly after every time they came to dinner, Enron would be even more grateful.
