Walking on the street, I could clearly feel the difference between Black Marsh City and before.
It stands to reason that after such a day nightmare that almost covered the entire city, and many people even died inexplicably afterwards, Black Marsh City has become the center of a twisted, terrifying, and serious pollution, shrouded in an unreasonable fear.
But when I was in this city, I felt a kind of tranquility and a gradually recovering vitality.
Black Marsh City Due to the absence of Main City Administrative Hall, the expected chaos did not appear. The advent of the day nightmare not only caused Black Marsh City's Black Grass business to be severely hit in an instant, but also suppressed other chaos.
Now walking in Black Marsh City, you can see that a large number of shops are open, and many people are walking around and purchasing on the streets.
At least on the surface, this is already a quiet, peaceful, lively and prosperous city, and full of life.
However, if you listen carefully, you can still hear that many people are discussing the nightmare enthusiastically in the streets.
Everyone has their own opinions and their own understandings.
"Have all those who do that kind of business suffered retribution?"
"It is said that the day is haunted?"
"Then so-and-so of so-and-so's family said that the previous disaster was going to happen again..."
"What do you know? This is Spiritual Energy Revival. The ancient Evil God has arrived at our Black Marsh City..."
"..."
"Perhaps, Black Marsh City's situation will really change because of this?"
Listening to these discussions, Han Bing had a strange idea.
In the past few days, she had actually been a little worried, observing the changes in Black Marsh City.
Of course, the more important thing is to observe the changes of Lu Xin.
She needs to ensure that Black Marsh City will not collapse due to this pollution, because in that case, she will report it to Qinggang as soon as possible, and it is very likely to trigger a conflict between Qinggang and Lu Xin. This will be a result that no one wants to see, but it is inevitable.
The second thing, or more importantly, is the stability issue of Lu Xin.
This is her most important task this time.
But what she didn't expect was that Black Marsh City's follow-up was exactly as Lu Xin said, with no fear spreading or a strong sense of distortion. Even for some ordinary people, such pollution only appears in their conversations...
This is a situation that Han Bing has never seen before.
Thinking back carefully, I remembered the words of Lu Xin. He said that the purpose of Mental Lord should not be just to prevent pollution.
This means that Mental Lord can still be used to a certain extent...
... let some conceptual rules have power?
Thinking of this, she gradually came to the answer. Mr. Shanbing was not out of control, he was just...
... has become more powerful.
This realization also made her feel a little embarrassed, because it did not seem to be a violation of the rules.
At least Qinggang does not have such regulations.
Of course, the reason why Qinggang does not have it does not mean that this is correct, but because I never thought that anyone would do this before.
So, Mr. Shanbing, is this taking advantage of a loophole in the rules?
She noted this down and said nothing, because after all, Mr. Shanbing said, he did nothing.
"Boss, pick the most expensive dish on the menu and bring it to you."
"In addition, give each of us a bowl of Stinky Tofu Braised Meat Sprout Noodles, and a box of Saltwater Beer for each of us."
"..."
We still came to the hotel where Lu Xin and the others had dinner and had a fight with Master Qun's men.
However, the two gangs who were fighting at the beginning have now become a group.
During this period of time, Master Qun has been staying by Red Snake's side, as if he was afraid that something would happen to this precious daughter again.
From time to time, I would look at Red Snake and suddenly shed tears.
Also because of knowing his current fragile mental state, Red Snake did not terminate the contact with him.
In the past few days, he even helped Master Qun take care of his family's funeral affairs.
However, it is also because Master Qun is following so Lu Xin and the others, no matter where they go now, they are always cheering in front and behind, and a group of hooligans often clear the way in front of them. As a result, Lu Xin and the others do not look like experts from Qinggang, but like bullies from Qinggang.
It stands to reason that once a big moneymaker like Master Qun washes his hands, his subordinates will often disperse.
But because although Master Qun washed his hands in a golden basin and decided to fight Black Grass to the end, Black Marsh City's other people doing similar businesses were also forced to wash their hands in a golden basin. These guys There is no place to change jobs. In addition, many of them have experienced Daytime Nightmare. When they are full of fear, they subconsciously follow Master Qun, so they appear to be as powerful as before.
However, the changes in this group of people can also be seen in some places. They all have black eyes and are depressed. Sometimes Lu Xin catches up and offers them a cigarette. They are so frightened that they wave their hands repeatedly. "No, no, no, no good person would smoke this thing..."
However, Lu Xin, who had a cigarette in his mouth, was very embarrassed.
"Brother, we can't cook the food..."
When the boss saw such a group of fierce people coming, he hurriedly came up to accompany him with a smile, "At noon, our master chef was just preparing to boil a pot of special soup for cooking, but he had a nightmare in the middle of the day. Now he has gone home to worship the Bodhisattva..."
"Having a nightmare?"
After hearing this, a group of villains sneered, "It seems like your master is not a good guy either..."
"Some people have always said that some chefs use this thing to cook. Is it true?"
"..."
The boss shrank his head and didn't dare to say anything. He thought to himself, "What did you do before?"
"I'm too lazy to change places. Do you have Stinky Tofu Braised Meat Sprout Noodles and Saltwater Beer?"
Gecko listened from a distance and asked loudly, pointing at Lu Xin: "My eldest brother loves this."
"?"
Lu Xin, who had just pulled up a chair and sat down, was startled...
... I just answered when they asked what the characteristics were.
Master Qun's younger brothers next to him all looked at Gecko with admiration.
After a few days, they finally figured out the relationship between Gecko and Lu Xin.
This Mr. Tiger is really a man.
Everyone has seen a lot of broken relationships.
But after the relationship broke up, he resigned himself to being a junior and gave way to the newcomer, calling him "eldest brother" over and over again...
... How broad-minded is this?
"This one does."
The boss's eyes lit up and he said, "They are all ready-made. Just boil them and add marinade and you can eat them."
Gecko decided directly. "Just eat this."
Everyone sat down at several tables, tapping their chopsticks on the table, waiting for the special delicacies to be served.
After a while, the boss started cooking in person, cooking pot after pot of Stinky Tofu Braised Meat Sprout Noodles, and Saltwater Beer was constantly delivered to the table.
When the plate of braised noodles, cooked golden brown, poured with soup and meat sauce, and piled with several pieces of black tofu on top, was brought to the table, Han Bing, Red Snake and others all had strange expressions as they smelled the wonderful smell that kept getting into their noses.
He looked at them one by one, looking faintly at Lu Xin.
Lu Xin's expression became a little unnatural, but at least he introduced it himself...
So he pretended to be calm and opened a bottle of Saltwater Beer, and took a small sip in a strictly defensive manner.
It was a bit unexpected. "Does it taste good?"
Although Saltwater Beer doesn't sound like a serious beer, it has a cool, slightly salty taste and a different kind of aroma.
"Really?"
Several people looked a little surprised. Gecko hurriedly opened a bottle and tasted it. It was indeed ice cold and quite good.
Everyone was relieved, even Han Bing and Red Snake each took a bottle.
Feeling much more relaxed, Gecko even picked up the chopsticks with some excitement and put a piece of stinky tofu into his mouth.
His eyes suddenly lit up. "Hey, this is better!"
"Really?"
Others were also a little excited. They resisted the smell that hit their noses and took a bite with anticipation.
Then, they all vomited.
Includes Gecko.
He said nonchalantly, "If I was the only one who ate it, you might laugh at me later..."
Lu Xin and others looked at him speechlessly.
In fact, it is understandable that if you have been deceived, others will also be deceived.
After all, it's human nature...
But in order to fool others, Gecko held the stinky tofu in his mouth for more than ten seconds, and then spit it out after everyone else had eaten it...
This perseverance is truly remarkable.
But looking at the embarrassed expressions on their faces, the people under Master Qun's hands next to them had already burst into laughter. They opened their cheeks and started digging in. They simmered noodles and drank beer, and occasionally clinked glasses. It felt like a feast of land and sea.
Even Lu Xin couldn't help but wonder if he had just preconceived the idea and didn't taste it carefully?
So, I secretly took another bite, and then vomited it again.
"At least Saltwater Beer is pretty good."
Lu Xin held Saltwater Beer, using the coldness of the wine to cushion his stomach and comfort himself.
The surrounding atmosphere has gradually become lively.
When it was time to eat, many other diners came, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
The chef in the restaurant seemed to have finished worshiping the Bodhisattva and rushed back to work. Other dishes began to be served one after another.
Probably because they haven't relaxed for a long time, and Master Qun's men are all in high spirits when they touch wine. Being among them, it is inevitable that they will be contaminated by their passion when drinking. The Qinggang group is also in a good mood.
Even Red Snake and Han Bing poured a glass of beer, which was considered to have tasted the characteristics of Black Marsh City.
Gecko has even quietly invited a younger brother of Master Qun to inquire about some industries that are more unique to Black Marsh City.
But the younger brother was obviously not very cooperative, so he took advantage of the drunkenness and told him sternly, "I can't help you with this!"
"We Master Qun only have such a daughter. She can be sorry to you, but you can't be sorry to her..."
"You can't even accept her having two husbands. What kind of man are you?"
"..."
Gecko went completely crazy and shouted desperately, "We are really divorced..."
Lu Xin was holding a cup of Saltwater Beer, enjoying the lively atmosphere around him.
Every city has its lovely places, unique food, and unique people.
At least at this moment, while Lu Xin was drinking Saltwater Beer, he had slowly developed a good impression of this city.
When making that decision, Lu Xin actually felt a little unsure.
Although he didn't like this city, he was also worried that he would do something wrong.
But at least now, after seeing the city's gradual vitality and drinking the city's characteristic Saltwater Beer, he felt truly relaxed. So, no matter whether his decision was wrong or not, at least he had no regrets.
Thinking like this, Lu Xin turned his head and looked at the street corner.
In fact, he had already seen many high-end cars parked on the street not far away, and many people he had seen, including the cheongsam Miss Sun, were looking at him from a distance, as if they wanted to come over, but were afraid and did not dare to come to him.
These people have been following him for several days and have been trying to communicate with him.
Lu Xin ignored them, but he didn't expel them either.
"Go make them understand."
After confirming his thoughts and feelings at this moment, Lu Xin took the beer glass and spoke quietly to the black figures around him.
"Tell them not to come to me again."
"They are all very talkative and I worry that I will be persuaded by them."
"But now I know for sure, I don't want to be convinced because I believe something is not wrong."
"..."
In the darkness, a pair of eyes looked at Lu Xin.
He sat on a white plastic chair under the canopy of the restaurant, holding a bottle of Saltwater Beer in his hand, with a particularly determined expression.
As a result, the existence in the darkness also shrank subconsciously, and he whispered, "Okay."
Very unlike his usual style.
It's so hot. I'm just idle. Could you please give me a vote?
