Two hours later.
Jason and Bu Liuxing ran back and forth in the hall and kitchen, cooking the beast's body and delivering more than thirty sets of pots and bowls.
When the chief shopkeeper at the Bock checkpoint smelled the aroma of spices and hot ointment, his pair of golden beast eyes widened, and he immediately called someone to bring new furniture to the guest room in the back room.
The dishes were delivered to a large round table one by one. The shopkeeper grabbed the iron basin and drank the hot thick broth in one gulp. Then his face became flushed and sweat poured down his neck and forehead.
She held the pieces of stewed meat in the iron basin with her rough, broad palms, stuffed them into her mouth, chewed them, and crushed the bones together.
She had finished the last dish, and her eating efficiency was so amazing that there were not even a few bones left.
The two men guarding the door just woke up from their coma, smelled the sweet smell of the dog meat feast, and their eyes were full of desire. They moved their index fingers and hunched their bodies, carrying a round table and red chairs for the big shopkeeper, and knelt down motionless. land.
They thought that if they could eat a bite of the beast's meat, they would definitely become stronger!
When the shopkeeper ate the dog meat, she let out a weird laugh of "oooo hee hee hee". He had never seen her so happy and joyful.
Even when he was chatting with the pretty boy who was skinned and bled to death behind him, the shopkeeper didn't show such a happy expression.
That must be very nourishing and delicious meat, right? !
Thinking of these things——
——The minions knelt lower and crouched deeper. They didn’t even bother to bandage the wound on their foreheads. They could see the dents left by Ah Xing’s heavy punches.
They said nothing, for fear of disturbing the shopkeeper and spoiling their good mood. It's like worshiping gods and performing rituals.
It seems that as long as you pray a few more times, let your forehead kiss the rough and tamped floor tiles of the hall, and squeeze some blood from the injured area, you can get the shopkeeper to show mercy and let the gods who are feasting on the shrine spread some offerings - so that they can also taste it. Taste, taste what the vicious and domineering two-headed hound tastes like.
After Bu Liuxing and Jason finished delivering the dishes, they stood in the shelter of the hall, motionless.
They had sent out the basic information about the Bock checkpoint and received only one reply.
The content of the reply is:
[Well done] and [Stay alive]
Sent back as two messages.
When Bu Liuxing saw these two pieces of news, he could imagine Brother Ming's anxious and excited expression in his mind.
——I think Brother Ming doesn’t like to talk nonsense. The nonsense in these two nonsense sentences is that Brother Ming is worried about me and can’t help me much. He is just afraid of causing trouble to me, so he finally thought hard and pinched it out on the screen of his mobile phone. six words.
——In this environment, Brother Ming doesn’t know who I have met or where I am going to. The more I talk about it, the more confused I become.
——The first message means that this information is helpful to Brother Ming and they have already started to take action.
——The second message means that my cousin can't help much in a short time and must rely on himself.
Before Ah Xing could finish thinking about it carefully, Jason tensed up and grabbed Ah Xing's arm.
Severe curses came from the big round table in the hall.
The big shopkeeper burped and finished the last bowl of dog meat, leaving no soup in the iron pot.
After she had eaten and drank enough, she saw the two minions kneeling on the ground pitifully, and she immediately became furious.
"You two bastards! What are you looking at?!"
She raised her hand, grabbed the collar of one of the minions, and raised it in front of her. The strange force could even tear the flexible Kairav apart with her bare hands.
"Do you want to compete with me for food? You are so brave..."
The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and the hunger in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
The minion in his hand did not dare to say a word. He just whimpered and raised his hands to defend himself. Then he gave up his defense every time he breathed and breathed, not even daring to raise his hands.
The big shopkeeper held the man's neck steady with one hand, and suddenly raised his other hand. His rough fingers were like steel shovels, scratching a layer of fleshy flesh from the poor man's thigh.
Suddenly, a cry was about to come out of the mouth of the gangster, but the big shopkeeper's eyes were stern, and a knot of muscles bulged in his arms, shoulders and neck, strangling all the screams.
——A deathly silence followed.
...
...
Bu Liuxing's eyes were about to burst into flames. In his opinion, the boss of the Bock Hotel was a difficult kid who bullied the weak and feared the strong - even if he was fried in a frying pan a hundred times, he would not be able to get rid of his hatred.
The thick fingers were stained with sticky and smelly blood, stained with sauces and soups on the table, and were brought to the shopkeeper's mouth with minced meat.
She pouted her mouth and sucked the delicious food from her fingernails with her long and dexterous tongue. She was tasting the fear of others, tasting the pain of others, and felt happy and proud of this new dish made by her own hands. It was a supreme joy.
What is amazing is that she is not an extremely crazy person. She gives a cup of butter tea to the injured people who are suffering from pain and just spits out the word "get out" - and never releases the excess. So cruel.
At this moment.
The chief shopkeeper's eating time was over and he turned around to take a good look at the two uninvited guests.
"I'm very satisfied! Bu Liuxing! You can go."
After that, she took out a piece of paper from her fur wrap and threw it to Bu Liuxing. This kind of written pass was very much like the style of the station.
Asing caught it and took a look. On the cover was the Skull and Bones Society's Blood Butterfly trademark, and the title of the letter read [Pastoral Garden]. The introduction below seemed to be introducing a museum or scientific research institution. The words were euphemistic and elegant, and very mysterious.
The big shopkeeper looked frivolous, and the scars on his face trembled: "Go to the pastoral garden to find Coman, and ask him to take you on a tour, and get to know our Skull and Bones Society, and the glorious path of our great cause. Finally, think about it, can you What have you given us? What have you taken from us... Let's go. Let's go now."
Jason: "What about me?"
Axing: "What about him?"
The big shopkeeper was a little impatient and said, "Stay this cook, stay here with me. I like his craftsmanship very much."
"No..." Jason was about to speak.
The big shopkeeper immediately interrupted, his eyes widened and became fierce: "No? Who do you think you are? How dare you disobey me?!"
Bu Liuxing picked up his companions and clamped Jason's waist to his head just like he did when he first entered the door. He rushed out of the door indifferently and said, "Let's go!"
The big shopkeeper stared angrily: "You are so bold..."
Bu Liuxing curled his lips and turned back to give the big shopkeeper a fierce look, "This is my gift to the big leader of the Skull and Bones Society! You, a watchdog, also want to compete with the big leader for food? Or..."
Ah Xing swung the shotgun with one hand, the wild wolf ACE ejected the shell, and the firearm was reset and ready to fire, as if to say - not long ago, these two bullets took away the life of the disaster beast.
"Or do you want to start a fight with me here? Are you so anxious to retire and find me a new job? Will this place be renamed Meteor Pass in the future? It sounds good, what do you think? If you die, the big boss will Will you blame me? Maybe the big boss is eager to let me keep this card. After all, I eat less and am lower carbon and more environmentally friendly than you."
"Hiss..." The big shopkeeper gritted her teeth, but did not dare to break out. She had to turn her anger into a smile, and secretly crushed the wood of the round table to remember this hateful boy in her heart. If she had a chance in the future, she would definitely taste him. of meat.
"Thank you, shopkeeper! A pass is enough!" After Bu Liuxing finished speaking, he went out the door.
When a guard came to stop him, the shopkeeper shouted immediately.
"Let them go!"
...
...
[Part·②Xu Xian is here and there is nothing to do]
"Ha! Boy! You have such a good mouth!" Jason danced on Meteor's shoulder and shouted excitedly, "What a relief! If a movie wants you to be the protagonist, it must be a good one! I explode You won’t feel tired after eating rice krispies and cola until your stomach is bloated!”
"Mr. Jason, can you calm down a little bit...look down." Meteor was walking on the cliff plank road. Strong winds blew from the rift valley, stirring the iron chains. The steel frame beams under his feet were undulating, which was very dangerous.
Fifty centimeters away to the right is a cliff of more than a thousand meters. Under the cliff is a deadly river of lava.
Jason came back to his senses, took a look outside, and immediately struggled desperately to get off Asing's shoulder.
Seeing this scenery from the shoulders of the 1.9-meter-tall Ah Xing was too exciting for Jason's heart. Eventually it turned into a koala, clinging to Ah Xing's waist and motionless.
Axing held up Jason's face: "Mr. Jason... no one is following us, use your wise and powerful brain, think about why this is?"
Jason's cheeks were squeezed by Bu Liuxing, and he forced his mouth to open and his eyes to open, he stood firm on his feet and returned to the floating iron plank road.
He carefully observed the surrounding environment and started to do business.
"We have left the range of the Bock checkpoint. I estimate that there are still more than twenty people living in that big hotel."
As Jason Megan said this, he took out Asing's cell phone, took one look at it, wrote down the unlock password of Asing's cell phone, and edited the text messages on his own.
He said to himself that he wanted to strengthen his memory.
"This is based on the conclusion based on the number of tableware in the kitchen on the first floor. The big shopkeeper has an astonishing appetite. She uses thirty to forty sets of kitchenware for one meal. Judging from the food reserves and the number of tableware, the entire Bokeguan The defense force is more than 80 people, between 80 and 88 people.”
Your fingers move quickly across the phone screen, like a keyboard artist.
"The big boss wanted us to visit the pastoral garden, but no one came with us. This means that the road behind the Bock level is a relatively private area of the Skull and Bones Society - the watchdog cannot enter the house unless called by the owner."
Bu Liuxing patted Mr. Jason's shoulder gently: "Awesome! You are so awesome!"
Jason shook his head: "It's just a skill of struggling to survive, nothing powerful."
Then he continued and continued recording.
"There are no surveillance cameras on this road, and the plank road cannot be used by vehicles. Even the most basic freight tricycle cannot be used. There are either other entrances and exits, or there are beasts like yarn sheep that can carry supplies for the Skull and Bones Society."
"There should be another entrance and exit, right?" Meteor said rationally: "I have two Shayang girlfriends... I also asked them before if there are any large life forms like Shayang that work for the station. They They all say they don’t know, but it turns out that Shayang can understand human speech because it has acquired knowledge of the astral world, and this kind of creature is very rare underground."
Jason was stunned for a long time: "Are you serious?"
Meteor: "Yeah..."
Jason: "No... what I'm asking is, do you really have two women as female companions?"
Meteor: "What else?"
Jason froze, unable to react for a moment.
——He originally thought that Ah Xing said this because he wanted to frighten the big shopkeeper and use his tactics to make the enemy feel the pressure coming from the madness index at least.
Unexpectedly, Meteor didn't act at all. Everything expressed was emotion without any acting skills.
"Let's talk about this." Meteor pointed to the obsidian bridge at the entrance of the low valley in the distance: "The people of the Skull and Bones Society rely on this bridge to enter and exit Platform Zero, but it's impossible for everything to use this plank road, right? I think it's okay There are other ways.”
"It makes sense..." Jason was still immersed in the love between Shayang and Ren. He was worried. While analyzing rationally, he looked at the shooting stars with something wrong in his eyes.
Jason said: "After all, last time, the disaster beasts obtained by the Skull and Bones were transported by truck to Mimir Hot Springs. There must be another secret passage."
Meteor: "Why...why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because of curiosity..." Jason simply got straight to the point and said straight to the point: "Shay sheep are a very...very curious creature. I don't know how you got involved with them...I'm very, very curious."
"Oh... Actually it's not as complicated as you think." Meteor recalled what happened in Golden Township: "When I was heartbroken, I called Miss Shayang from Golden Township... She charges by the hour. I am very, very touched if you are willing to listen to me pour out my emotional garbage.”
Jason followed Meteor all the way down.
Meteor said as he walked.
"The more we chatted, the more we hit it off, because we all have simple minds. Mr. Jason, do you know anything about creatures like yarn sheep?"
"It's just because I understand it that I feel incredible. This kind of creature has a relatively low level of intelligence and cannot speak any complex sentences. It imitates human language, but the reasoning and logic are completely different."
"That's right... you are right. One of our girlfriends is named Meimei, and the other is named Lili. Many sheep use this simple overlapping word as their name. They can't remember too many things. , he was stupid like me, but when he recited advertisements and asked for money and food, he immediately became fluent in his speech.”
"Have you had close contact with them?"
"I wanted to sleep with the big dragonfly, and I rushed there immediately after making the phone call. As a result... I carefully boarded the train, ran to the Golden Country, and went home with them. They were trying to pin me down like a telecom fraud. On the bed, prepare to cut me into pieces and then eat me..."
"Dragonflies are gluttons and can eat 60% of their body weight in one meal. In order to support the energy consumed by flying, they are grabbing food all the time."
"But they couldn't beat me, and I escaped in despair. I was very sad at that time. First, I was deceived by an alien widow, and then I was almost eaten alive by the sisters. I didn't dare to tell Brother Ming about this. , I kept eating mapo tofu and cried several times. I thought that if brother Ming knew about it, he would probably scold me again, tie me up, and never allow me to run around again. "
"I don't know what to say...it's a miracle you survived."
"Actually, Meimei also contacted me later. She told me that I must be careful next time and not take off my clothes directly, otherwise they will not be able to control their hunting nature and will treat the protein on my body as honey and egg liquid and eat it as something sweet. Lose."
"You were almost eaten by a monster, but you still plan to communicate with these things? What are you thinking? Are you preparing to play the Legend of White Snake?"
"Because I'm a man, I'm a sexy tough guy! Jason, I can't make them cry. I promised on the phone that I will be their boyfriend. I can't break my promise! Mr. Jason... I will accompany them Playing cards and chatting, as long as we don't meet, is a very good thing. They are simple, and I am simple, what a good soul mate."
"Didn't the station ask about this? It's considered a homicide."
"I didn't want to see them get hurt, and I didn't tell others. In fact, the relationship between yarn sheep and the station is quite subtle. Passengers treat them as pets and simple tools."
"You also said that before...you and an astral creature, and a widow..."
"Don't mention this matter again, please spare me...don't come to uncover my scars again, just like I asked you, your waiter..."
"Stop talking! Stop talking!"
"I hope to fall in love with a girl from a super-ancient race. I met a lot of emotional liars in the surface world. They are like hunters. I gave these hunters money and love. In the end, my mommy revealed their trump cards - I kept telling them Breaking up, falling in love, breaking up again. In the end, I thought that the super-ancient race young ladies in the underground world would not be greedy for those external things, but I didn’t expect..."
"I didn't expect them to be greedy for what's inside you?"
"Yes... Mr. Jason, do you think I can find true love?"
"You're daydreaming!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because in movies, you have to say this when you want to hit the protagonist. The brave protagonist will definitely be able to do it."
"Thank you! Jason, this is a blessing, right?"
The two brothers finished walking this plank road——
——The topic stopped abruptly.
A corridor appears on the left hand side, leading directly to the interior of the rift valley.
In the bright and spacious entrance, a well-dressed man is waiting for guests.
The man was like the lobby manager of the Council of Five Kings. He was a meticulous, tall and slender man, about forty years old. He was wearing a large navy blue trench coat, a burgundy vest and a black tie, and his leather shoes were spotless.
Wearing a pair of black gloves, he was writing notes at the registration desk at the entrance, recording the goods in the pastoral garden.
"Bu Liuxing and Jason Megan - come to me, Coleman Sullivan. As the manager of the ranch, I am deeply honored that these two are here."
His voice was deep and powerful, like an opera announcer.
His hair was champagne blonde and hung slightly curled around his ears.
Just like the big shopkeeper——
——When Mr. Coleman greeted him with a smile, his four canine teeth were pointed and his mouth was sharp, and his eyes were also golden linear animal pupils.
Bu Liuxing hadn't spoken yet, and Jason didn't have time to say anything.
Mr. Coleman had already taken the absolute initiative. He chattered endlessly, pulling the two guests into the hallway.
"Goethe once said that a person's life, including his entire destiny, is likely to be determined by just a short moment. I like this sentence very much and keep it on my lips every day, repeating it, repeating it endlessly. "
His movements were smooth and natural, like a dancer, and the cadence of his shouts came from his mouth, which was very enthusiastic.
"You two need to take off your shoes, socks, coats, and weapons, and come and take a good look at my big garden. This will be an important moment for you to decide your own destiny. I'm afraid it only takes a few hours to affect your whole life. , if you want to join the Skull and Bones Society, you must recognize its philosophy, it is great! Glorious! Magnificent! Omnipotent!"
Meteor tried to protect his stick and gun, but under the tug of Mr. Coleman, he spun around three or four times like a top. His shoes and socks were all taken off, and the thing in his hand disappeared.
It was an extremely delicate technique, pulling the bodies of Meteor and Jason, and in a few pulls, all the weapons on Meteor's body were removed.
Coleman spoke softly and asked again: "Mr. Bu Liuxing, seeing your disappointed and lonely expression, I can't help but want to ask again, do you really want to bring firearms and these dangerous and deadly weapons to my ranch?" In?"
Bu Liuxing felt guilty——
——Although he was in a defenseless state, Mr. Coleman had indeed disarmed everything on him within a few seconds without even leaving any bullets behind.
despite this.
Axing was still stubborn: "I...I want to give it a try...Can I?"
Mr. Coleman's face became more angry and he gently shook the summons bell at the registration desk.
"jingle--"
Right now, right now -
——This forty-year-old elegant uncle is no longer elegant, and his expression has become terrifying.
Densely packed snake-like creatures sprang out from the bright corridor.
Those creatures are very complex—
——They crawled on the ground very fast, as if emerging from the hidden holes in the corridor, flowing behind Mr. Coleman like a river.
They stand up suddenly, like a cobra displaying its horn-like head in protest. Exposing the white scales on its belly, it stood upright on its two hind legs. The bright red scales on its two forelimbs rustled and made a messy wind sound when shaking.
More than twenty yellow snake eyes stared closely at Bu Liuxing.
These four-legged monsters resemble earth dragon lizards. Their bodies are as thick as a normal human waist. When they stand, they are almost three meters tall.
Coman did the same, following the little babies behind him, spitting out a long red letter towards Bu Liuxing.
"I won't try anymore. I won't try anymore. I'll listen to you!"
Ah Xing retracted his previous words at that time. He raised his head and looked at all the snake heads covering the ceiling lights.
The snakes didn't speak, and neither did Mr. Coleman—
——But it seems that everything has been said.
That dignified attitude, with arms akimbo and head held high, seems to be saying——
[--what's wrong with you? Little brother? ]
