After holding it in his hand, Xie Chen held the spoon in his hand and stirred it twice.
Then he scooped up a mouthful and put it into his mouth.
Because the air conditioner has been blowing for a long time, this bowl of soup is also very cold.
There is only a hint of sweetness in the mouth, which can even be ignored.
And those lotus seeds were not particularly fresh, probably because they had been stored for a while and not eaten immediately.
I can guarantee that this is definitely the worst bowl of lotus seed soup I have ever tasted.
Except for a hint of sweetness, there is no lotus seed flavor. It feels like eating something made from a bowl of sugar water.
"Isn't it going rancid?"
After tasting it several times in a row, the more I tasted it, the more strange it became, and it even became a little sour at the end.
If there is a bitter taste, that's okay. At least you know that the core of the lotus seeds has not been removed, and you know that what you are eating is lotus seeds.
"No wonder no one in the banquet hall eats this stuff."
Although I don’t know the quality of the food on other white plates, if it is like this bowl of lotus seed soup, it is really incomparable to the food on other golden plates.
Maybe it's not just banquet hall rules.
Judging from the personalities of these guests, the more forbidden they are to eat, the more likely they will try it secretly.
Xie Chen remembered what the strange-faced man said about the food on the white plates in the banquet hall, and he directly said that he would not eat it even for the dogs.
Although he quibbled that he heard it from other guests.
But I still feel that with that guy's character, he must have tasted it secretly.
After drinking half of this bowl of lotus seed soup, I don’t know the psychological effect, but it really has an effect.
The white bowl I saw in front of me seemed to have a double image, and it was so shaky that I couldn't see clearly.
Xie Chen quickly rubbed his eyes with his other hand, but the double image still existed and did not disappear as he rubbed his eyes.
"Forget it, let's treat a dead horse as a live doctor!"
Xie Chen gritted his teeth, put the whole bowl of lotus seed soup into his mouth, and drank it whole.
After burping, Xie Chen didn't feel any obvious physical discomfort, except for the stomach reaction after drinking this really unpleasant lotus seed soup.
It's not like the rules say, the limbs are numb and the mind is in a trance.
The visual ghosting that just appeared has also softened a bit.
"Is this the only effect?"
Xie Chen was full of doubts and sat on the bed waiting for the side effects to come.
Unfortunately, several minutes passed without any change.
Xie Chen touched his whole body in disbelief.
“Is the food on the white plate just a cover?”
Xie Chen muttered, and felt a little scared. If this was really the case, wouldn't it be the end of the fun if he ate this thing?
When I thought of this, I immediately broke into a cold sweat on my forehead.
Xie Chen propped himself up on the bed and prepared to get up, but felt a cramp in his stomach.
After a dry cough, he stumbled and fell directly to the ground, and his face came into close contact with the ground.
This made Xie Chen look uncomfortable.
You should know that except for the banquet hall, there are no restrooms in other places. The stomach cramps you will feel now will definitely make your situation worse.
"This is simply a trap!"
Xie Chen rolled on the ground several times and couldn't help but curse a few words.
Just as he supported himself and crawled toward the door, the cramping pain in his stomach gradually eased.
The pain subsided, giving me the strength to get up from the ground.
Xie Chen supported the dressing table beside him with one hand and walked slowly towards the door.
The moment he touched the doorknob, his brain felt like an electric shock and he lost control of his entire body.
He was like a soft-tissue animal, lying limply on the ground, unable to even blink his eyelids.
This feeling is like that the consciousness is sealed and locked in the body forever.
The door to the upper room was very close to him, almost within reach, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.
Now I can no longer feel the pain in my stomach.
Not to mention my stomach, my consciousness began to blur.
Xie Chen's mind was filled with fear, and even more regret, why he drank the bowl of lotus seed soup.
I regret why I stopped studying the rules.
I regret that I was the chosen one but failed to save myself.
Although the pocket watch has the ability to go back in time.
But now even pressing the button on the pocket watch is impossible.
His consciousness collapsed and he was no longer in a trance.
For a moment, it was like a steel knife pierced into his chest, and then it was slowly pulled downwards.
His chest felt like it was on fire, and the violent tearing sensation felt like nerves, like thumb-sized nails being hammered into his head.
Xie Chen opened his mouth and howled in pain on the ground.
But no sound could come out of his throat, and various parts of his body were twitching.
His eyes were so red that they were about to bleed, and bloodshot eyes almost occupied all the whites of his eyes, making them look horribly red.
Many images flashed through my mind.
There was even the rotten and smelly guy in the strange-faced man's room just now.
The words "Help me" seemed to be very clearly engraved in my mind, reappearing in front of me like a projector.
Xie Chen tried his best to regain control of his body, but it was extremely difficult to recover from such an ethereal thing as consciousness in his current state.
Severe pain rushed to his forehead like an axe, and even the screams could not come out of his throat.
Because I couldn't control the movements of my entire body, my muscles were left spasming in place.
This situation lasted for who knows how long.
Xie Chen himself fainted many times.
But every time I woke up, I was overwhelmed by the huge wave of pain, and my cautious sobriety disappeared.
After repeated many times.
Xie Chen's fingers moved twice.
It's a pity that even his breathing is very weak now, and his eyes have not been opened after closing them for an unknown number of times.
over time.
The physical and mental pressure seemed to be gradually relieved, and Xie Chen opened his eyes with great difficulty, and subconsciously let out a wailing sound from his throat.
The bad smell in the room was getting stronger and stronger.
I had just woken up, and the first thing I took in was a mouthful of this smell.
I almost fainted again.
After a cry.
Xie Chen moved his body tentatively.
But the whole body didn't respond at all. His hands and feet were like instruments that were short-circuited, and they couldn't receive the command signals sent by the center at all.
The ability to move now is just a conditioned reflex made by the nerves in the muscles.
Xie Chen wanted to cry but had no tears.
The long pain is like a person walking away 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 returning.
Although these smells make the whole body feel erratic, which is not conducive to the control of nerves and muscles, there is nothing I can do now.
He lay on the ground like this for nearly an hour or two before Xie Chen could 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 by moving like this, severe pain still reacted from the muscles, causing him to grin.
In the middle, I took a nap because I was too tired.
As the body gradually recovers, the spirit also relaxes.
All the bad luck has happened to me. I was originally worried that the food on the white plate might be fake?
There may be no side effects at all, and this kind of food will not have any impact, it just wants to attract people's attention.
But now after eating this bowl of lotus seed soup.
Xie Chen was already frightened.
The power of this thing is just too powerful.
But whether it is useful or not, you still have to wait until you fully recover before you can compare.
In this current situation, it is difficult to even think about the problem, let alone eliminate the context of these things.
After realizing that there was still severe pain when moving the joints of his hands, Xie Chen simply stopped.
I lay on the ground and squinted my eyes and fell asleep again.
But this time, I couldn't wait until I woke up naturally.
A sudden knock on the door woke him up.
It shouldn't be considered a knock on the door.
To be precise, the word "slap on the door" should be used to be more accurate.
Someone was standing outside the room, beating hard, and the sound of the beating was deafening and spread into the room.
Xie Chen, who had been lying on the ground for a while, was immediately woken up by the sound.
I myself was breaking out in a cold sweat.
In this state, if the opponent breaks in, then he is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
With one eye obsessed, Xie Chen tried to guess through the crack in the front door who was knocking on the door.
But after squinting for a long time, the distance was really far away, and the door gap was so small that it was impossible to see the specific situation clearly.
"no!"
"Got to get closer."
