Jin was never picky.
Even though the bedding here had a strange smell, she still sat on the bed as soon as possible to make the most of this leisure time.
"William, I find that you don't practice what you preach. When we were in the passage before, you said you would avoid causing trouble, but now you choose to stay in this weird hotel. What are you thinking?"
Sitting at the wooden table and thinking, Yi Chen gave the answer:
“Because the exit of the passage is very different from what I expected, I want to see the essence of this inn, and also want to see the nature of this parasite and what they want to do.
What we both showed just now was the form of the dead and cancer patients.
Logically speaking, we are fully qualified to carry out relevant activities in the Old World, and the forces behind us are also very obvious.
If these parasites still do something during our stay, or even want to kill us, we can infer two things.
1. This group of parasites is very special. They don't care about the opinions of the source epidemic area at all, and they don't even worry about being hunted down.
2. They view individuals in the outside world as completely hostile, and will stop at nothing to kill us or parasitize us, regardless of whether we show symptoms or not.
Once the above conclusions are established,
This parasite is a huge threat to our world, to organizations, and even to all of human civilization.
If we leave now, and wait until the passage is completely corrupted by them, they will defeat Mr. Orman through human wave tactics, parasitize on Mr. Orman's body and steal his memory, posing a major threat to the organization.
So I decided to stay for a day to find out more about them.
If necessary, kill them all."
“Yeah!”
Jin raised her arms above her head and made a scissors hand gesture. She didn't think as much as Yi Chen did. The future of the organization had nothing to do with her. As long as she could have fun, it was fine.
This kind of killing of novel species is exactly what Jin likes.
Since the old world has erased the concept of time,
The sleeping and eating habits of the people in the inn are different. The dining area on the first floor is basically crowded with people, and the dishes in the kitchen are almost always available.
Since you want to find out more about this inn, it would be better to go to the lobby on the first floor to experience the eating process.
After waiting for half an hour, a table in the corner of the first floor was vacated.
Yi Chen seized the opportunity and pulled Jin downstairs immediately. Just as he was about to sit down, a greasy hand fell on the table.
This fat palm corresponds to a burly man with concave facial bones. Although he looks like a human, his belly has obvious "link patterns", like a Michelin tire, and some flesh is similar to that of a maggot.
And there was a strange-looking girl sitting on his shoulders.
The girl's eyes were about three times the size of a normal person's, and her fangs and long, curly tongue occasionally appeared from her mouth. Her long, thin hands with hair on the wrists were constantly rubbing.
“This is our location.”
The big man's attitude was extremely tough, and he even moved his tire-shaped belly onto the table.
Yi Chen did not express his opinion. He did not intend to take any action before finding out the situation in the inn. Moreover, when he was observing the first floor, he had noticed that the big man carrying the girl arrived at the inn earlier than them. The other party had indeed been waiting for a long time.
Just when Yi Chen was about to give up his position,
Swish!
The bloodshot sword with a tumor on its surface was already on the big man's neck.
Jin's body was also filled with murderous intent.
The tense atmosphere attracted the attention of many people in the inn, and many of them even showed eager eyes, hoping to see the beautiful scene of body fluids, limbs and organs flying around.
final,
The little girl sitting on the big man's shoulders uttered a sharp and annoying old-world language:
"Baby, let's go~
Since we have already been determined not to be eligible to go to the other side, there is no point in staying here to eat. If you get hungry on the way back, mom will lay eggs for you to eat. "
"Mom's eggs! That's great, that's great!"
The big man was like an idiot, shaking his body that was as fat as a maggot, and quickly left the inn.
Yi Chen looked at this strange mother and son, savoring the words they had just spoken.
"Not qualified to go to the other side, do you mean the crossing passage?"
Could it be that the real way for this inn to make money is to collect 'tolls' from the patients from the Old World who are traveling to the other side, or something else? 』
At this moment, the waiter rushed over and said, "Have the two guests come down to eat? For free guests, we only provide seasonal meals. If you want to order dishes, you will need to pay extra fees."
“What are the seasonal meals?”
"That is, fresh food made on the spot using ingredients available in the kitchen."
"Then choose seasonal food."
"Okay!"
Yi Chen probably knew that the currency in circulation in the old world was an ancient coin. He thought that the cost of such a special inn connecting the channel must be quite high.
The inn’s food service was indeed fast, and the dishes were served in less than five minutes.
One was served in a large iron pot, which was still bubbling, as if it had just been stewed over a high fire; the other was served in a small dinner plate.
When the food was served to the table, Yi Chen's expression immediately tightened, and he even felt a little psychologically uncomfortable.
What is being stewed in the big pot, in addition to large bones with meat attached, there are also pieces of gelatinous white skin with obvious traces of joints on the surface, and even sunken grapes and a few floating kelp shreds.
As for what's on the plate, it's even more obvious.
A cut-off "monkey brain" was placed directly on it, and it seemed to have been simply pickled raw.
The eyeball, which was much larger than an ordinary person's, was dull and lifeless due to death, but the dense compound eye structure could be clearly seen.
The skull is connected to the skeleton. After being roasted, the slices of meat are neatly placed on both sides of the plate, giving it a BJ roast duck feel.
There is also a pair of fly wings that match its body size as embellishment, as well as a dish of white sauce made from insect eggs inside its body.
Although Yi Chen had eaten all kinds of strange dark dishes in the orphanage before his death, this kind of thing made him feel sick just by looking at it. He would not eat it if he was not extremely hungry.
"The mother and son from before? It's only been a short while, and they've been cooked like this in less than ten minutes since they left the table... This inn is not simple."
Seeing that Yi Chen had not eaten yet, the waiter came over and said:
“If you are not satisfied with the seasonal food, you can spend money to buy other food.”
At this moment, Jin had actually put a piece of stewed white skin full of protein into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and gave a thumbs up afterwards.
"It tastes good. William, you should try it right away. Just think of it as eating bugs! When I was chained in the basement as a kid, I relied on these little guys to survive."
"Jin, you eat. I'm not very hungry yet. By the way, do you have the currency of the Old World?"
"Yes, my master gave me a whole bag when I left the Cancer Palace."
“You don’t need a bag, just one.”
Jin immediately inserted his arm into his waist and abdomen and took out an ancient coin from between his abdominal organs.
The coin is made of a special sedimentary rock that is even harder than any metal seen in human society and is white-gray in color overall.
The obverse of the coin is engraved with a neuron-like vertical and horizontal structure, and even gives off a very intuitive three-dimensional feel.
On the back are chain molecules similar to DNA and RNA. When viewed from different angles, it even feels like these chain molecules are swimming between the coins.
By injecting pathogens into the inside of the coin and causing resonance, flagella-like tentacle structures will grow on the edge of the coin, which can be used to verify its authenticity.
The clerk, who had not yet walked far, was called back by Yi Chen and the coin was slapped directly into the clerk's hand.
After confirming that it was a genuine ancient coin, the clerk's right eyeball fell out of excitement.
Plop! It fell right into the steaming iron pot.
He immediately took out another spare eyeball from his body and replaced it, and the one that fell into the pot was given to the customer to eat.
"Are you going to order more?"
"No... I want to ask you some questions."
