Honey rose taro, almond tofu, osmanthus cake, lotus crisps.
The desserts displayed on the platter are small and exquisite, and have a fatal attraction for everyone.
Even though Bai Wu was the only one among the Survey Corps who had seen these things and knew about these foods, the others still found them pleasing to the eye.
Looks good and tastes good.
Yin Shuang and others originally doubted whether there was something wrong with the food, and felt that Bai Wu seemed to be a little too greedy.
But Bai Wu... it tastes so good.
The way he ate made Yin Shuang, the usually calm ice beauty, swallow her saliva.
Bai Xiaoyu was the first to eat. He didn't worry about poisoning at all. He would just cut off the organ that was poisoned and then grow a new one.
In fact, these foods are absolutely safe.
The feedback from the eyes made Bai Wu happy:
You look at the delicious food they offer, wondering why they are so attentive, is there something fishy going on? But I can tell you what the consequences will be if you eat them - hunger -1, nutritious meal aversion +10000... 00. Don't worry about the food, their biggest problem is to keep your stomach.
A gorgeous manor, a comfortable living illusion, delicious food, Bai Wu knows that the more secure the appearance, the more dangerous the truth is.
But sorry... the food was so good.
No matter what Cain left behind, eat it first. Only when you are full will you have the strength to decipher the secret, lose weight, and go on a hunger strike. It has always been like this.
Soon, the group of people started eating and drinking.
In the yard outside the first villa, they sat at an expensive white oak round table and enjoyed a comfortable open-air afternoon tea.
Six people, six tables. Generally speaking, one table is big enough for three people to sit, but after Bai Wu and others came in, Mr. Wang quickly arranged for someone to guide everyone to sit at different tables.
Mr. Wang, who looks nineteen years old but is actually not nineteen, observed the group and was sure that one of the two people, the one who ate the most delicious food and the one who was the shortest, was the leader.
Mr. Wang winked at Sister Rong, so Sister Rong sat opposite Wujiu, and Mr. Wang sat opposite Baiwu.
Soon, the remaining tables also had their corresponding occupants.
Yin Shuang was a person who didn't like being watched while eating. Sitting opposite her was a woman who was a few years older than her.
But the woman's expression seemed very childish, which made Yin Shuang feel a chill down her spine again.
"what's up?"
"Sister, do you like being taken care of?"
"What is the problem?"
the other side.
Bai Wu looked at Mr. Wang and said, pretending to be a little embarrassed:
"I'm sorry, I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time, and I lost my composure a little."
Mr. Wang said with a wry smile:
"It's okay. There's still a lot to come. Dinner will be even more sumptuous. Today's dinner should be roast suckling pig and roast lamb chops. The staple food is crystal shrimp dumplings, and there are some local dishes. I wonder what your favorite dish is? I'll ask my wife to prepare it for you."
Really warm and hospitable. In fact, Bai Wu had already guessed the possible situation of this manor.
He guessed that this family would leave the manor soon, but Bai Wu remained calm and smiled as he said:
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
Chinese politeness, the implication is "That's great, Modo Modo."
Mr. Wang still had a professional fake smile:
"That's okay, we love entertaining."
Bai Wu nodded:
"I haven't had decent food for a long time. Since you are going to leave, I will prepare a few dishes."
Mr. Wang was stunned. Did this person know that he was about to leave
Bai Wu ignored Mr. Wang's stiff expression and said:
"Just a few side dishes, you don't have to worry too much, just sesame butter rolls, fried mushrooms, fried fish jerky, chicken skin sturgeon, crab roe, hosta chicken, night jasmine shrimp, tiger button dragon, crane stewed bear paw, silver needle fried shark's fin, Dinghu Shangsu, green plum tangerine cake, osmanthus eight delicacies, rock sugar hawthorn, round meat melon strips, fried noodles fish, fried bamboo shoots, lotus bird's nest, fried shrimp, stewed shrimp, stewed kidney, stewed sea cucumber, fried tendon, pot-roasted sea cucumber, pot-roasted cabbage, fried black fungus, sugar-braised lotus seeds, stuffed yam, almond cheese, stir-fried crab, boiled crab..."
Bai Wu named nearly seventy dishes in one breath, and then said calmly:
"Isn't that too much trouble for you? If you feel that this is not enough to show your enthusiasm, I can add more."
Mr. Wang was stunned. Why did he feel like there was someone who was even more abnormal than them allowed in
"Can you add more?" Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Bai Wu added another sentence.
Wang Xian's forehead was covered with sweat, and he smiled reluctantly:
“You know quite a lot…”
"Oh, we've only reached this point. How about I add some more?" Bai Wu tried to cast the spell again.
"The main reason is that we can't finish it." Mr. Wang interrupted Bai Wu's spell chanting.
"Yeah, let's just make these dishes for now." Bai Wu was very calm, as if he had just casually mentioned three or five dishes.
"Okay... I'll inform my wife later and ask her to prepare it."
Mr. Wang couldn't help but wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he moved in many years ago, he was very cautious for the first time.
This person is really stupid... or careless? He seems to have no defenses at all, while the other people are more or less on guard.
Mr. Wang suspected that he had made a mistake. Bai Wu seemed to be the most reckless person in the entire team and should not be the one making decisions.
However, in order for this group of people to live longer, or live in harmony, Mr. Wang still has to ask some questions:
"Sir, may I ask you a few questions? Don't be nervous, just think of it as a questionnaire."
"Great, I like questionnaires the most. But I don't like sitting and answering questions. Can we talk while walking?" Bai Wu picked up the mango juice and stood up.
Seeing Bai Wu's reaction, Mr. Wang felt that he was the dumbest person in the whole team. But he still stood up and followed Bai Wu out of the yard.
"It's you..."
"Wait a minute, you have to say first, please listen to the question, this will make it more ceremonial."
"..." Mr. Wang was silent for a second, then compromised:
"Please listen to the question."
"Don't ask. I'm the father."
Bai Wu's voice was very low, and although he was already some distance away from the yard, he was still speaking in a voice that only Mr. Wang could hear.
"Um??"
Mr. Wang was suddenly stunned and looked at the white fog with a look of surprise and suspicion.
Bai Wu sucked the juice from the straw with a satisfied look on his face. He looked at Mr. Wang's stunned expression and said:
"You should be surprised and say, congratulations, you actually completed a quick answer."
Mr. Wang did not speak, still looking at Bai Wu in surprise. Bai Wu shrugged and began to decipher:
"We move in, and the people inside can leave. Whoever's house we move into, that person's people can leave. That's why you shouted them off on the lawn. You've lived here the longest, and according to the rules, they should give you the opportunity to keep the guests, that is, the opportunity to leave here."
Mr. Wang continued to be surprised.
Bai Wu is drinking freshly squeezed mango juice slowly, looking relaxed:
"A family of three. Among the six families, only one family does not have three people. It is probably because only one person came last time. Your child looks older than you. He can't be eight years old. You also know that no one will believe this lie. So why would he be willing to be your child? I guess it has something to do with the rules of the manor."
"Is there something wrong with the laws of time here? Maybe. After entering this area, people may not age for a long time. This can also explain why you look so young, but act like the most mature among these people."
Mr. Wang shuddered.
Bai Wu's voice was still very thin and light, but he still maintained a playful tone:
"Of course, it is also possible that the people living here look younger as they get older, and older as they get younger. However, this possibility can be ruled out from other families because there are also parents who look older than their children. So there is only one truth. The time rule here is that people do not age. But if they do not age, how can they give birth to a child older than themselves? The answer is obvious."
"Whether it's a family of three or four, every person in every household must correspond to an identity. You correspond to the head of the family, so the woman and the man can only correspond to the identities of mother and child."
Bai Wu knocked on the exquisite glass cup and thought of an interesting combination:
"Or have you ever considered making that bearded guy your wife and that 40-year-old aunt your daughter?"
Mr. Wang shook his head, indicating that he was not a pervert, but then he realized that this was not the point at the moment.
There was always a sense of ease and calmness about the white fog, which made Mr. Wang feel that the style of the conversation, which should have been very thrilling, was completely off track.
Bai Wu said:
"You asked the six of us to sit at different tables and asked us these questions. You probably wanted to confirm our personalities and abilities so that you could find out who is suitable to be the father, who is suitable to be the mother, and who is suitable to be the baby. So don't ask. I'll be the father."
After six full seconds of silence, Mr. Wang came back to his senses from his shock. How could this person be able to see through their purpose in such a short time
Bai Wu said:
"But there is one thing I'm curious about. Why is your eight-year-old child so obedient? So much like a child? Is there some external force that forces you to behave in a way that is consistent with your identity logic?"
"This... I can't tell you."
Mr. Wang now understood that this person was not stupid. On the contrary, he saw through everything and had a response speed far exceeding that of the others.
"Can't tell? It seems that there are still many taboos in this manor. And I named so many dishes in one breath, and you actually agreed to it. And you can't leave the manor, so where does the food come from? Is it the manor itself, and there is no problem with the food source?"
So he had deliberately revealed so many names of dishes just now, just to test him? Was this also part of his calculation
Mr. Wang looked at Bai Wu speechlessly again. Bai Wu seemed to have the ability to read people's minds:
"But please prepare these dishes. Don't miss a single dish."
"… "
Mr. Wang really wanted to give the young man in front of him a final, kind warning: It's very scary here.
But for some reason, looking at the white fog, I suddenly couldn't say anything, and I felt as weak as a little child.
“I guess so… The refrigerator always has the ingredients that a housewife would like to have the next day.”
"Can you take this fridge with you? After you enter here, someone has to leave, right? Can they take what's inside?"
"No… I can't."
Bai Wu was very disappointed. He had no negative emotions and even made a desperate expression to express his disappointment.
In the end, I still have to take the blame. The refrigerator is unreliable.
"What about taboos?"
"can not say… "
"It seems like we can only figure it out on our own?"
"Yes."
"That's quite interesting. When are you planning on moving out?"
"Tomorrow. Actually, if you know this... then why did you come in?"
"There's more than one way out here. Unlock this area..."
Bai Wu suddenly lost his words. It was as if some mysterious force made him forget what he was going to say.
So there is some force that prevents people from discussing ways to leave.
"Well, mainly I just like it here."
Although the three people could be left outside, Bai Wu was very clear about one thing: the notes mentioned that only those who entered the manor could be exempt from negative attributes.
Although he did not mean to look down on Yin Shuang, the second-in-command, Bai Wu believed that only he could unlock the secret of the manor.
Yin Shuang and the others didn't have a roulette wheel, so they simply brought in a team of their own people to increase the chances of finding clues.
Mr. Wang couldn't understand Bai Wu. He felt that although this person looked calm, there was an indescribable madness in him.
"I'm sorry... Now that you know, I won't hide it from you. Your guesses are basically correct. Only when you come in can we leave."
"No need to apologize. I would have come in even without you. If my coming in can allow you to go back, then it actually increases the benefits of coming in."
Bai Wu explained the problem from a very optimistic perspective, which made Mr. Wang very grateful.
He also felt a little guilty because there were many secrets and taboos about the manor that he could not tell, and some of the taboos were even fatal.
Bai Wu realized that this time, perhaps the problem could not be solved in a day or two, and perhaps the group would have to stay in the manor for many days.
But in half a month, the two armies would hold a military exercise, and he had to solve the puzzle within half a month.
"By the way, how long have you been here?"
"can not say… "
"Okay, I can't say that either, so is there anything else you can say?"
Mr. Wang felt increasingly guilty:
"Just... basically there is nothing to say. Before this... no one could have guessed all this like you did."
Bai Wu nodded and finally said:
"But there is one thing. The person who is about to leave will designate the identity of the new person moving in, right? Just like if I want to be my father, it must be someone who is a father, right? And you should be the decision maker here, so everyone will most likely listen to your opinion?"
"Yes."
"That's wonderful. I can be Lin Wurou's father."
