Chapter 398 The Cuisine of the Inn

Kim was never picky,

Even though the quilts here had a peculiar smell, she still sat on the bed as soon as possible, making the most of this free time.

"William, I noticed that your words and deeds are inconsistent~ When you were in the passage, you said you should avoid causing trouble, but now you choose to stay in this weird hotel. What are you thinking?"

Yi Chen, who was sitting at the wooden table thinking, gave the answer:
"Because the passage exit is very different from what I expected, I want to see what the essence of this inn is, and I also want to see the nature of this parasite and what they want to do.

What the two of us showed just now were the forms of the [Dead] and the [Cancer].
To be reasonable, we are fully qualified to carry out relevant activities in the old world, and the forces behind it are also very obvious.

If these parasites are still making small moves during our stay in the hotel, and even want to kill us, we can infer two things,

1. This group of parasites is very special. They don't care about the views of the source of the epidemic, and they don't even worry about being hunted down.

2. They regard individuals in the outside world as completely hostile, regardless of whether we have symptoms or not, they will destroy us or parasitize us at all costs.

Once the above conclusions are established,

This parasite is a huge threat to our world, to organizations, and even to human civilization as a whole.

If we leave here, until the [channel] is completely corrupted by them, we will defeat Mr. Allman through crowd tactics, parasitize in Mr. Allman's body to steal memory, and pose a major threat to the organization.

So I decided to stay for a day to find out about them,
Kill them all if necessary. "

"Great!"

Jin's arms are raised above her head to make a gesture of scissors. She doesn't think as much as Yi Chen, and the future of the organization has nothing to do with her, as long as there is something to play with.

This kind of killing of novel species is one of King's favorite things.

As the old world has been erased from the notion of time,

The "people" in the inn have different patterns of sleeping and eating. The dining area on the first floor is basically full of people, and the dishes in the back kitchen are basically uninterrupted.

Since you want to explore the bottom of this inn, it is better to go to the lobby on the first floor to experience the eating process.

After waiting for half an hour, the table in the corner of the first floor was vacated.
Yi Chen saw the timing and pulled Jin down the stairs immediately. Just as he was about to sit down, a fat palm landed on the table at the same time.

This fat palm corresponds to a burly man with concave facial bones. Although he is similar to a human being, his belly has obvious 'link lines', like a Michelin tire, and somewhat similar to the flesh of a maggot.

And on his shoulders sat a girl with a strange shape,

The girl's eyes were about three times the size of a normal person's, and her mouth occasionally revealed fangs and a long, slender, curly tongue. Her slender hands with hairy wrists were constantly rubbing.

"This is our place."

The big man's attitude was extremely tough, and he even moved his tire-shaped belly to the table.

Yi Chen didn't make a statement, and he didn't plan to do anything until he found out the situation of the inn. Moreover, when he was observing the first floor, he also noticed that the big man with the girl came to the inn earlier than them, and the other party had indeed been waiting for a long time.

Just when Yi Chen was about to step aside,
Swish!
The bloodshot sword blade with tumors on its surface was already resting on the neck of the big man.
Jin's body also overflowed with killing intent,
The tense atmosphere attracted the attention of many people in the inn, and many people even showed longing eyes, hoping to see the beautiful scene of bodily fluids, limbs and organs flying together.

finally,
The girl sitting on the shoulders of the big man uttered a sharp and annoying Old World language:

"Baby, let's go~
Since it has been established that we are not eligible to go to the other side, there is not much point in staying here for dinner.If you get hungry on the way back, your mother will lay eggs for you to eat. "

"Mother's eggs! So good, so good!"

The big man was like an imbecile, shaking his fat body like a maggot, and quickly left the inn.

Yi Chen looked at the strange pair of mother and son, carefully savoring what they said just now.

"I'm not qualified to go to the other side, you mean the crossing passage?"
Could the inn really make money by charging 'tolls' for Old World patients traveling to the other side, or something? 』

At this moment, the clerk rushed over, "Have the two guests come down to eat? For free tenants, we will only provide seasonal meals. If you want to order food, you need to pay an extra fee."

"What are the seasonal meals?"

"That is to say, fresh food made temporarily by using the existing ingredients in the back kitchen."

"Then choose seasonal food."

"okay!"

Yi Chen probably knew that the currency in circulation in the old world was a kind of ancient coin, presumably the cost of such a special inn connecting the passage must be quite high.

The delivery speed of the inn is really fast, and the dishes are served in less than 5 minutes.

One was served in a large iron pot, which was still bubbling, as if it had just been stewed over a high fire, and the other was served on a small dinner plate.

When the food was brought to the dining table, Yi Chen's expression immediately huddled together, and he even felt a little psychologically uncomfortable.

It was being stewed in the cauldron, except for the big bones with meat, there were also pieces of gelatinous white skin with obvious joint marks on the surface, and even sunken grapes and a little kelp shreds floating up.

As for what's on the dinner plate, it's even more obvious.

A severed "monkey brain" was placed directly on top, as if it had just been pickled.

The big eyeballs that are far beyond ordinary people are dimmed due to death, and the dense compound eye structure can be clearly seen.

The skull is connected to the skeleton, and the sliced ​​meat is roasted, which has the feeling of a BJ roast duck. It is neatly placed on both sides of the dinner plate.

There are also a pair of fly wings that match his size for decoration, and a plate of white sauce made from internal insect eggs.

Although Yi Chen said that he had eaten all kinds of strange dark dishes in the orphanage before his death, but this kind of food made him feel sick when he looked at it. If he was not hungry, he would not eat it.

"The mother and son just now?How long has it been? It's been less than 10 minutes since they left the dining table to make such a dish... This inn is not simple. 』

Seeing that Yi Chen hadn't eaten for a long time, the clerk approached:

"If you are not satisfied with seasonal food, you can spend money to buy other food."

At this moment, Jin actually put a piece of stewed white skin full of protein into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and gave his thumbs up afterwards.

"It tastes good~ William, try it quickly, just treat it like eating bugs! When I was chained in the basement when I was a child, I relied on these little guys for my living."

"Jin, you can eat~ I'm not very hungry yet. By the way, do you have the currency of the old world?"

"Yes, when I left the Cancer Palace, Master gave me a whole bag."

"You don't need a bag, just one piece."

Jin immediately inserted his arm into his waist and pulled out an ancient coin from between the abdominal organs.

The material of the coin is a special kind of sedimentary rock, which is even harder than any metal seen in human society, and the overall color is white-gray.

The front of the coin is engraved with a vertical and horizontal structure similar to neurons, and even a very intuitive three-dimensional sense can be seen.

On the back are chain-like molecules similar to DNA and RNA. From different angles, you can even feel that these chain-like molecules are swimming among the coins.

By injecting pathogens into the coin, after causing resonance, the edge of the coin will grow a flagella-like tentacle structure for authenticity verification.

The clerk who hadn't gone far was called back by Yi Chen, and directly slapped the coin into the opponent's hand.

After confirming that it was a genuine ancient coin, the clerk's right eyeball fell out due to excitement.

Plop!It just fell into the steaming iron pot.

He immediately took out another spare eyeball from his body to install it, and gave the ones that fell into the pot to the customers.

"Are you going to add food?"

"No...I want to ask you some questions."
