Although Peony Restaurant is a Sichuan restaurant, the name has a Los Angeles feel.
Judging from the address given by Lu Wanqing, this restaurant is located on Longxing Avenue in Jianxi.
This place is not far from Lu Nanke's house, it takes about ten minutes by electric donkey.
The time she made an appointment was at eight o'clock in the evening, and the paper said that the Peony Restaurant would show up at seven twenty-eight in the evening.
Could it be that like the previous Shandong restaurant, it only appeared at a specific time?
Lu Nanke went back to the house and turned on the computer to look for clues about the world.
Judging from the situation at the company, it seems that this kind of thing is not hidden from the public, so maybe you can find something online.
Solid state drives are fast, but the speed of 500m fiber optic cable cannot be matched.
Soon Lu Nanke found what he wanted in the search engine.
"The 'rules' that exist in an area since ancient times? As long as you follow the rules, you will be fine, but if you violate the rules, you will be 'disappeared'?"
Lu Nanke didn't quite understand it, so he found a specific case.
That is a "regular area" listed by the Chengdu official account.
“Chen Mapo Tofu has only one main store.
“1. Only Sichuan cuisine is sold in the store, so if you see cuisines other than Sichuan cuisine on the menu, please do not order non-Sichuan cuisine.
"2. Coca-Cola is not sold in the store. Coca-Cola drinks include only original flavor Coca-Cola. If you see Pepsi-Cola and sugar-free or vanilla-flavored Coca-Cola in the freezer or on the shelf behind the cashier, please do not buy it.
"3. Don't eat alone.
"4. The only alcoholic beverages in our store are Niulanshan Erguotou and Shancheng Beer. If the waiter sells other alcoholic beverages, please refuse them. If you see other alcoholic beverages on the menu or in the freezer, please do not purchase any alcoholic beverages, including Niu Lanshan Erguotou and Shancheng Beer.
Lanshan Erguotou and Shancheng Beer.
"5. There are only four female waiters and three male waiters in our store, and they are uniformly dressed in red work clothes. If you see waiters wearing black work clothes in the store, please ignore them under no circumstances. If you see them in the store
If there are more or less than seven waiters, please leave within three minutes.
"6. If someone leaves the table, please make sure that there are at least two companions staying at the table, including yourself. If you want to leave, please do not stay at the table, and you must pay and leave the restaurant."
"7. If you need to go to the toilet, please go with at least two people."
"8. Guests only have one chance to use the toilet. Please be wary of companions who have used the toilet twice, because they may no longer be the people you know."
"As long as you abide by the above rules, you can enjoy your meal in our restaurant. Please abide by the rules and pay attention to safety. Our restaurant will not be responsible for any consequences if you violate the rules!"
This is followed by another "Employee Code of Conduct".
But the "Employee Code of Conduct" can only be read by applicants.
Lu Nanke probably understood.
"Strange stories about rules?"
He didn't know much about this thing, but he had seen others talk about it online before.
It seems that the source is the "Zoo Code" spread from Island A.
Although Lu Nanke didn't feel much about it, judging from other people's analysis, it was probably because it was closer to life.
The most terrifying thing when you think about it carefully is the "abnormality in daily life", and the rules between different codes are even contradictory to each other, and the "fear" is all described sideways.
The most terrifying thing is the unknown.
But that’s just a “weird story” entertained by everyone online.
I never thought it would become true.
And this world... there is no island A.
So now Lu Nanke has confirmed three things.
First, this is not the world that I am familiar with, but a similar parallel world. The node I traveled through should be after I fell asleep last night.
Second, there are extraordinary existences in this world.
Third, matters related to the "weird rules" are public matters, at least most of them are public.
Hmm...
After thinking carefully for a moment, Lu Nanke raised his hand to observe carefully.
What happened to the electric current that occurred during the previous meeting?
At that time he remembered rubbing his fingers together.
Friction... friction...
Zila——!
The white electric light of the rumor suddenly jumped at the fingertips, but Lu Nanke did not feel any discomfort.
On the contrary, he felt as if the current was inherently controlled by him.
"...Is there such a thing?"
The past twenty-seven years have been wasted! He is actually a superpower?
The bioelectric current required to maintain the normal state of the human body is approximately 1.2 millivolts.
But judging from the feeling, the current at his fingertips is about 10,000 volts.
It's roughly equivalent to one-tenth of Pikachu's skills and moves.
At present, his upper limit should be this, but the lower limit...
Taking the phone and holding it tightly, Lu Nanke thought with a thought, and saw that the battery that originally only had 32% remaining increased to 100% at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"My control ability is very strong. If I follow the classification of avatars in Jojo, my precision should be A-level."
Gululu...
While I was thinking about it, my stomach suddenly made a sound.
I glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the monitor, it was almost eleven o'clock noon.
After turning off the computer, Lu Nanke went out and rode a small electric donkey to go to Changxia Clay Pot Noodles.
------------------
"Hello, sister-in-law."
At the door of Changxia Casserole Noodles, the quiet woman riding on the scooter smiled at Lu Nan Keyou, then told Wu Deshao to drink some wine, and left with the little girl in the back seat wearing pink and jade.
Wu De's eyes never left them even for a second.
"You've been married for so many years and haven't seen enough?"
"I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to see it again."
Lu Nanke's heart was moved and he tried quietly, "Then why don't you resign? I remember our company never said that resignation is not allowed."
"You have to support your family."
Wu De shook his head and walked to the casserole noodle shop. He paused at the door to see if there was a "code" posted on the door.
Only after making sure it was not there did he walk into the house.
At first he didn't want to say anything, but after a few glasses of wine he started talking.
"There's no way, Lao Lu, you have to support your family. The salary level in Los Angeles is more than 2,000. My mortgage payment is high and I have to raise a child. And you know my mother's disease. She has to go for dialysis, which costs money.
.”
He drank a glass of beer and said, "Unless we work overtime, we get off work on time at 6pm and have weekends off. We can earn more than 50,000 yuan every month, and the company also buys large personal accident insurance. And it's on-site."
You can get 500,000 yuan at a time, and if you die or disappear, you can get 2 million yuan at a time... You may not believe it. If you want to join our company, you have to rely on connections, especially those who want to join our foreign affairs team.
Countless.”
He shrugged, "No way, everyone is just doing it for money."
Lu Nanke raised his eyebrows, "Is it really that dangerous?"
"Well, 'Rules of Monster Stories', when a new ghost story area first appears, no one knows what's going on, and this thing exists objectively and cannot be eliminated, so the only thing we can do is to understand the rules and try to avoid the danger from spreading.
.”
Wu De smiled bitterly, "What our foreign affairs team does is to go in early to test the intelligence, and then try to bring out as much useful information as possible. The mortality rate of foreign affairs teams across the country for the first time on the scene is more than 50%. If you want to find out the rules, you will not die.
Eighty percent of the time, there is no pattern."
Lu Nanke remained silent, silently absorbing the information from Wu De.
So is it true that people who die at night will be forgotten...?
Or is it that mom was also caught up in strange stories last night?
But the bug is huge...
Forget it, it's useless to think about it so much for now.
"Lao Lu."
Wu De suddenly leaned forward and lowered his voice, "I heard a saying that every rules and ghost talk area is actually a cage, the purpose is to restrict something inside. After we find out the rules, a large number of troops will be sent from above.
Control this place and run it according to the rules, otherwise very bad things will happen.
"In other words, our foreign affairs team may just be pure sacrifices. And..."
His eyes suddenly looked strange, "Lao Lu, don't expose yourself."
