Chapter 398 Cooking at the inn

   Kim was never picky,

  Even though the bedding here was smelly, she still sat on the bed as soon as possible, making the most of this free time.

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

   Sitting at the wooden table thinking, Yi Chen 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 was the form of [Dead] and [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 still do something small during our stay in the hotel, or even want to kill us, we can speculate two things,

  1. This group of parasites is very special. They don't care about the views of the source area at all, 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 conclusion is 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 their bottom line,

   Kill them all if necessary. "

"Great!"

  Jin raised her arms above her head and made a gesture of scissors. She didn't think so much like Yi Chen, and the future of the organization had nothing to do with her, as long as there was something to play with.

   This kind of killing of novel species is exactly what King likes.

   Since the old world has been erased from the concept 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 corner table on 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 Michelin tires, and somewhat similar to the flesh of maggots.

   And on his shoulders sat a strange girl,

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

   "This is our location."

  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 early 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 abdicate,

   Shua!

  The bloodshot sword blade with tumors on its surface is already resting on the neck of the big man.

  Jin's body was overflowing with murderous intent,

  The tense atmosphere attracted the attention of many people in the inn, and many people even showed eager 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 determined 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. "

   "Mom's Egg! 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 am not qualified to go to the other side, is it the crossing passage?

   Could this 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, 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 not be low.

  The delivery speed of the inn was really fast, and the dishes were served within five minutes.

   One is served in a large iron pot, which is still bubbling, as if it has just been stewed over a high fire, and the other is 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 is being stewed in a large pot. In addition to the big bones with meat, there are also pieces of gelatinous white skin, with obvious links on the surface, and even sunken grapes and a little kelp floating up.

   As for the things on the dinner plate, it is even more obvious,

   A severed "monkey brain" was placed directly on it, 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. After the sliced ​​meat is roasted, it 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 fit its size as an embellishment, 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, this kind of food was disgusting to look at. If he was not hungry, he would not eat it.

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

  Seeing that Yi Chen has not 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, and gave his thumbs up afterwards.

   "It tastes good~ William, hurry up and try it, 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. 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 took 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 side are chain-like molecules similar to DNA and RNA. Viewed from different angles, it is even felt that these chain-like molecules are swimming among the coins.

  By injecting pathogens into the coin, after causing resonance, a flagella-like tentacle structure will grow on the edge of the coin 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 the one that fell into the pot was given to the customers to eat.

   "Are you going to add food?"

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