It looks like a strange totem, but it feels flat to the touch. No wonder she has never discovered that there is such a thing behind her.
If you observe carefully, there is still a somewhat abstract eye in the center of the totem, which makes people involuntarily think of the magic eye of the world.
It feels weird and has a strange aesthetic feeling. It looks more like a curse than a divinely favored seal.
Is this something that comes naturally
Luya tried to search her memory, and it seemed that the original Eve had been dressed very conservatively, and was confessing with her eyes closed when taking a shower, praying for the salvation of a god that did not exist in the empire.
Of course, no god has ever responded to her, and she has never paid attention to her back, and no one has seen her body. At least Luya has no impression of this mark in Eve's scattered memory.
This made Luya a little uncertain when the mark appeared. And how did that uncle know? Does he have clairvoyance
She remembered that she took two showers after she came to the imperial capital, one was when the radiation was flushed out in the energy plant, and the other was when she left the sewer.
Which time was it? Was it peeped? If it was the time at the energy plant, I would be a little terrified...
But for what purpose was he spying on Liana
Luya felt that there were many doubts about the other party, but so far, although the way of greeting was not very friendly, he didn't seem to want to conflict with her. Maybe he thought they were all favored by the gods, so he regarded her as his compatriot
It doesn't make much sense to speculate now. If you can see him next time, you must ask him clearly.
However, for the sake of caution, Luya still covered the mark with concealer after taking a shower.
After sleeping for about three hours, Luya was almost fully recovered. She got up, brushed her teeth, and repeated what she had to do every morning. Then head to the kitchen for breakfast before the restaurant opens.
"Good morning, Uncle Lodin."
"Oh, good morning, Luya."
Lodin greeted Luya with a smile, and told her good news while preparing her breakfast.
"I don't know what's going on today. It was announced in the news in the morning that all the prisoners who escaped from the prison have been caught. Now the state of martial law has been lifted in the city. If there is no accident, Dougs will be able to help us activate the identity card in the next two days. .”
"The news says that all the prisoners have been caught?"
Luya poured herself a cup of sugar-free Americano, looked at Lodin strangely, and questioned while drinking, "Aren't we all here? Who did they arrest? There is no reason to let us go, will you Could it be a trap set by us to let our guard down?"
"I really can't figure out the meaning of what they did. The imperial soldiers currently searching the streets have indeed evacuated, and the arrest warrants have also been cancelled. But if this is a trap to lure you into the bait, I don't think it is worse than this It's an idea, unless the chancellor is an idiot."
Dougs, who was checking the ingredients in the kitchen, snorted.
"Could it be for the sake of maintaining stability? Now the whole capital is in panic."
"How is it possible, unless those monsters break through the triple barrier, there is nothing to panic the people of Grady City." Dougs sneered.
Lu Ya pursed her lips, "What are they planning? Let's wait and see what happens. Anyway, we are not too late to think of something happy. At least we don't have to face house-to-house searches."
"Yeah, I might need a favor from you guys when it comes to that."
Dougs said, "On the 5th of next month, we will provide customized meals for the ball of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Our restaurant may be understaffed and overwhelmed. I am very relieved to have Lodin, but if possible, I hope You can help too."
"Of course, this is what it should be. Even if you don't tell me, I will help. As long as I don't let me cook, I can do errands."
Luya readily agreed, and it just so happened that she also wanted to stare at Liana, so let's do it at the same time.
"If you are interested in cooking, you can learn it. Lodin is better than me. He will teach you to be an excellent chef. If you master his recipes, you will never be unemployed in Asdra. "
"That's true. I also hope that someone can pass on my culinary skills."
Lodin's eyes softened, and he looked at Luya expectantly, "If Eve is willing, I can teach you, pass on the recipes that I have developed all my life, so that even in a few decades, you will still be able to make a living in the imperial capital. Standing on…”
"Okay, I appreciate it, Uncle Lodin."
As if flattered, Lu Ya frantically waved her hands and refused, "But I can't do it. I can't even cut potatoes well. I can't become a chef like you in this life. It's just a waste of time for you to teach me."
And to be honest, she doesn't think the current empire can last for decades. The order under this kind of high-pressure management will collapse sooner or later, and everyone is in danger, as long as there is a little fuse. The last line of defense of mankind will collapse, and the subjugation of the country will happen sooner or later...
"There is nothing you can't learn well, it just depends on whether you are willing to work hard. I also started learning to cook when I was your age. In order to improve my knife skills, I cut potato shreds every day for two full years. , never stopped."
Lodin began to lament about his apprenticeship, which made Dougs also interested.
"That's right, I remember that we were still competing at that time, but I can only beat you in knife skills. In terms of cooking talent, I have never seen anyone better than you."
"Don't say that, Dougs, we are good at different things... At that time, I still remember your golden lobster roast. When the cover was lifted, the lobster stood up. It was amazing!"
"Where, if it's you, you can do it too."
"I am over-flattered… "
Wait, why are they suddenly flattering each other? And there is also a story about China!
Although she likes cooking, it's only limited to eating, excluding the part of cooking! Let her learn cooking with a broken hand that can't cut vegetables evenly, let her be spared!
What's wrong with drawing color comics? She just likes to play with color.
Lu Ya was stumped when she heard that, the two old gay friends boasted to each other endlessly, they should just get married.
She finished her coffee in one gulp, ate the bacon chicken wrap and hash browns Lodin had given her, and helped out of the kitchen with Matthew's food.
Before the restaurant opened, Matthew would always sit quietly in the restaurant.
He didn't seem to remember anyone, except that he was not noisy, and looked at everything around him blankly like a baby. Luodin is like his father, who has been taking care of his daily life, and he will only start eating when food is put in front of him.
Luya put the breakfast in front of Matthew, and after watching him start eating, she couldn't help but sighed.
Miracles like the kind of fetters that can awaken people will never happen. Matthew seems to have completely lost his soul, and it is somewhat difficult to correspond to the brave and fearless young man he was now.
"It's okay, Matthew, I can take you to the doctor in a few days."
Lu Yaming knew that he couldn't hear her, but she still chatted with him on her own, "Uncle Luodin said that you can recover through treatment, I don't know if it is really possible, but I will definitely try my best Those who helped you, if you hadn't stepped forward at the beginning, we wouldn't be where we are now."
"..."
Matthew was still eating dumbly, and couldn't understand what Luya was saying. He was like a background NPC with no personality setting in the story, Luya stared at him sadly, and began to think about the Red Dragon and Lu Dahuang in her mind.
I don't know how the road rhubarb is doing now? Since they were brought back to the imperial capital together, I don't know if they were adopted by kind people. Its bad temper, can the new owner bear it
After Matthew finished eating, it was soon time for the restaurant to open.
Luya helped clean up the dishes, sent Matthew back to the room, put on some makeup, and left the restaurant.
Today, it seems that the defense on the streets has been relaxed a lot, and the number of imperial soldiers patrolling has also decreased a lot. In the central city, they are generally ordinary office workers and white-collar workers. The interrogation by the imperial soldiers is relatively random and lax. The overall sense of depression and despair is not the same as that of the poor. area as serious.
Lu Ya wanted to take advantage of her free time today to take a tour of the Imperial Capital.
At any rate, she came to another world. This was the first city she saw that hadn't been destroyed. It felt like a future city. The central city of the imperial capital has a cyberpunk feel to it. The floors are built extremely high, and the streets are full of electronic advertisements, but the economy is very depressed. There are not many people on the street, but there are some noble ladies in high-end clothing stores who are measuring, choosing and customizing dresses.
Luya walked on the street carelessly, and she could feel the pressure of survival of the people here just by looking at it. When she was thinking about the happiness index of ordinary people living in the imperial capital, she saw a dead body that committed suicide by jumping off a building in front of her.
People on the way to work seemed to have gotten used to this. People passed by the corpse numbly back and forth, and no one even stopped to take a look.
Not long after, a cylindrical cleaning robot appeared on the street corner.
The robot flexibly picked up the corpse with its four limbs, put it into an empty container, and then sprayed disinfectant and washing liquid from the air pressure tank behind it to wash the ground. Soon after, the remaining traces on the ground were cleaned completely, as if It's like nothing happened just now.
Lu Ya kept watching the robot leave after finishing these things with complicated emotions.
The atmosphere on the street is really too depressing, completely different from the feeling on the Internet. Everyone seems to be very interested in leaving messages, the rewards are very generous, and there is no bad word in the opposite direction. It is completely unexpected that the whole society is like this.
Farus... what on earth are you asking me to find a job in a place like this for
Lu Ya looked back at the empty back, the red dragon's consciousness seemed to have not yet awakened, and the ruthless street was filled with a sense of despair that made it difficult to breathe.
At this moment, Luya also had a bad feeling.
Is this task really for the purpose of saving you
Or, do you actually want me to stay in human society and leave alone
Luya clasped her palm lightly, feeling very panic in her heart. I hope she's overthinking... How could Farus have any reason to want to leave her
She really didn't miss the human world at all, and now she just wanted to fly to the free sky with him.
