Chapter 957 Reminder (please vote for the last two days)
Because Franca and Roxanne had ordered chicken and taro in advance and asked to be cooked immediately, the three of them had the steaming food in no time.
Franca asked the waiter to make a medium-spicy soup base for the dipping bowl. She added some minced garlic, chopped green onions and coriander, and finally poured in oyster sauce. It was salty, fresh, and slightly sweet. It was very delicious.
It adds a nice spicy taste, Franca especially likes it this way when eating hot pot.
She glanced at Zhou Mingrui and found that his choice was similar to hers.
The heroes saw the same thing... Franca picked up the taro first instead of the chicken, which had been stewed in the pressure cooker until soft. After rolling it in the dipping bowl, she blew on it for ten seconds and then gulped it down.
, full of the aroma of starch and the taste of taro itself, they also absorb the spicy and delicious taste of oil in the soup base, combined with the saltiness and sweetness of oyster sauce, make people secrete saliva quickly, effectively reducing the residual scalding.
.
Franka ate three pieces of taro before she even thought of a piece of chicken.
She would rate this as the top three vegetarian dishes in the hot pot industry, the other two being potato slices and lettuce with leaves.
The three of them ate quietly for a while, and after filling their stomachs, Luo Shan took the initiative to start various topics so that the situation would not be awkward.
With her lively atmosphere, the three of them had a pretty good time chatting, ranging from rumors and scandals in the company to the recent employment environment and the current situation of their past colleagues.
The handsome security guard naturally became part of the conversation. Luo Shan regretted that the security guard had not guarded the door recently, preventing her from seeing what she believed.
Suddenly, Zhou Mingrui asked Franca about her major and was curious about why she changed careers after graduation.
Franka talked about her true feelings when reading:
"Being a cow or a horse, I made little money, and my life was in danger. I had to wait until I was thirty or forty years old before I could barely earn a decent income. I felt that I couldn't bear the pain, so I changed my career. How many twenties can I have in my life?
How old are you?"
Zhou Mingrui expressed his understanding:
"There are people everywhere on the Internet who advise people to study medicine. However, being a doctor is a late-stage profession, and the older you are, the more popular it becomes. I had a problem when I was a child, and I changed careers right after graduation. However, I worked two other jobs and didn't get out.
So after coming..."
Having said this, Zhou Mingrui suddenly paused, frowned unconsciously, and then continued:
"I used my connections to go back to my hometown hospital as an intern."
Is there such a thing? There is no mention of it in the information... It is obviously not Peng Deng, nor is it the female hair who likes to travel... When Franka was confused, Zhou Mingrui talked about medical matters.
Franka perfectly played the role of a former medical student who changed her career for three years. She could talk about basic things, but almost forgot about the more in-depth ones.
She is not a "generalist"!
——This identity now is almost a replica of her own status, and she plays it like a duck to water. The only difference is that she has not actually graduated, and it has been six or seven years since she changed careers.
When Zhou Mingrui nodded invisibly, Luo Shan glanced at Franka and said with a smile:
"Have you ever tried that new drink with a nice design and a unique name?"
Franka smiled back and asked instead:
"Have you ever drank?"
Without waiting for Zhou Mingrui and Luo Shan to answer, Franka lowered her voice:
"I heard an urban legend recently. There is a mysterious vending machine that randomly appears in different places and sells blind boxes of drinks. Some of the drinks in these blind boxes have special effects and can make people drink them.
People gain the ability to correspond to the names of drinks, and the drinks you buy in supermarkets and convenience stores are ordinary, normal drinks."
After saying this in one breath, and without any abnormality in herself, Franka quietly relaxed a little.
Zhou Mingrui looked at Franka who had gone home and put on a white T-shirt, loose trousers, a pair of white shoes, and a ponytail, and smiled and said:
"I've also seen rumors about this on the Internet."
Franka's eyes fell on Roxanne's face.
Luo Shan bit her lip and said in a tone that was deliberately telling a ghost story:
"Actually, I encountered that mysterious vending machine."
After a quick glance, Zhou Mingrui also looked at her.
Luo Shan laughed:
“I bought a blind box, and the drink inside was ‘Shaman’, but after drinking it, nothing happened and no abilities were gained.
"To be honest, when I looked for the vending machine for the second time, it was indeed missing. It was not in its original location..."
Luo Shan's voice became extremely low at the last sentence, making the bubbles rolling out of the hot pot seem to freeze for a second.
Zhou Mingrui looked at her without saying anything, as if he was evaluating whether he was telling a ghost story or telling the truth.
Luo Shan then smiled and said to him:
"Didn't you drink too? Later I saw a similar vending machine in the company lobby. I smoked a bunch and gave you one bottle after another of the 'Instigator' drink, right?"
"I didn't drink it." Zhou Mingrui laughed, "Someone gave me a bag of dried mushrooms before and said it was great for making tea. I wanted to give it a try, so I poured the 'Instigator' drink on me.
I soaked the dried mushrooms in the cup. Later, I went to do some other things. When I returned to my seat, the cup was empty.
"At that time, I was still thinking that no one in the office would be so disgusting and would drink something from someone else's cup. Could it be that the cleaning lady was so disgusted after seeing the dried mushrooms soaked and she felt that I no longer needed the glass of water, so she helped me
Processed.
"Now that I think about it, this is a bit strange."
He and Luo Shan sang together, making the urban ghost stories more and more real.
Franka didn't look frightened at all. She looked around and lowered her voice:
"Since you are so honest, I will also tell the truth. To be honest, I have also encountered that vending machine."
Luo Shan asked cooperatively:
"What did you draw?"
Franka looked at Zhou Mingrui, pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and showed a clear smile:
"'assassin'."
Zhou Mingrui looked at her quietly, waiting for her to continue.
Franka smiled and added:
"I'm a fan of "Assassin's Creed". You see, my WeChat name is 'True Hidden Blade'."
As she spoke, she picked up her phone, showed her WeChat name to Zhou Mingrui, and then continued:
"I am very satisfied with the name of that bottle of drink. I imagined myself becoming an assassin, being able to complete the 'leap of faith' like it really is, and being able to hide in the shadows so that no one can find me..."
Franka deliberately explained all the changes and abilities brought about by the "Assassin" potion, in order to make Zhou Mingrui believe that she had really drank the "Assassin" drink or was very knowledgeable about "Assassin" related matters.
As she described it, her heart beat faster involuntarily, her whole body became nervous, and she felt as if she was about to be kicked out of her dream.
Zhou Mingrui strategically took a sip of iced soy milk and ate a piece of taro.
After putting down his chopsticks, he smiled and said to Franka and Roxanne:
"That's my dream too."
Franka took the opportunity to remind:
"Then you should pay attention. I saw that one of the related rumors mentioned that there is a big problem with the follow-up drinks of 'Assassin'. Well, it's just like upgrading in a game. After drinking a drink to a certain level, something terrible will happen.
things."
"What terrible thing?" Roxanne asked curiously.
Franka shook her head:
"I don't know either.
"I only heard that the 'Assassin' drink is followed by the 'Instigator' drink, and the questionable one is after the 'Instigator' drink..."
Her voice became lower and lower.
Zhou Mingrui ended the topic:
"Okay, okay, let's keep making it up. Sooner or later, this will become a complete urban ghost story."
"Yes." Franka smiled and said that the previous contents were all made up on the spot.
The same goes for Roxanne.
The three of them chatted about other things until it got completely dark, and everyone was very satisfied with their meal.
Saying goodbye to Luo Shan and Franka, Zhou Mingrui walked towards the other end of the street.
The smile on his face gradually settled, and one thought after another emerged in his mind:
"They don't seem like they are testing me, but more like they are hinting, prompting, reminding me...
“Is there really a big problem with the ‘Assassin’ drink?
"It may also be because I deliberately chose a crowded and lively place, and they didn't find the opportunity to use their abilities to influence...
"Then we will wait and see for a while to see if there is any accident or attack...
"If we can confirm their purpose or goodwill, we can find an opportunity to have a real chat later...
"If running away can't solve the problem, then face it..."
While his thoughts were swirling, Zhou Mingrui turned into a small road and walked into the shadows.
On the other side, Franka took Roxanne to the nearest shopping mall.
For the next hour, she wanted to stay in a brighter place with more people.
As soon as she left the "Yizhou Roast Chicken" store and walked a dozen steps along the roadside, Franka suddenly felt dizzy.
The next second, she felt like a deep-sea fish being fished out of the sea. She tried her best to breathe but could not take in even a trace of air. Her head and body were inflating strangely, like a fragile balloon that was constantly inflated.
.
She grabbed her neck in pain, trying to pull the trachea out of the flesh and connect it directly to the air.
Her legs began to become weak and her body fell to the ground. Her thoughts froze and her mirror double lost contact with her.
Did Tianzun notice me? This thought flashed through Franka's mind.
In the gray car parked on the opposite side of the road, Lumi watched quietly as Franka's face turned extremely red, her lips turned blue and black, and she grabbed her slender neck and touched her fair skin.
Traces of blood were found.
Luo Shan stood nearby, looking confused and at a loss.
Lumian, who was in the passenger seat, remained motionless, still watching quietly.
He saw Franca half falling to the ground, saw Franca struggling to open her handbag, taking out the phone inside with difficulty, and unlocked the screen.
Above the screen is an interface prepared in advance, and placed with the phone are cosmetics, multiple mirrors and a black pouch.
In Lumian's sight, Franka's eyes bulged out, and she tapped the phone screen with her thumb with a painful and ferocious expression.
Then, she collapsed completely and dropped her handbag on the ground.
The contents of the handbag rolled out, and the black pouch disappeared strangely.
After a few seconds, Lumian in the car opposite looked at Franca who stood up slowly with empty eyes, and calmly said to himself and Anthony:
"Contacting Zhou Mingrui at night and reminding him of the existence of extraordinary power will cause him to be kicked out of the dream very quickly."
