Chapter 932: Looking for the Netherworld in the Center of the Earth (5)
At the same time, Great Britain, the Goth Cafe.
"Hmm..." King Arthur tried his best to suppress the smile on his face and tried not to look at the leopard man boy.
Because Hal's face was so funny. After being "ravaged" by the black cat, the leopard man's hair was messy, his clothes were even more messy, and there was a red lip mark on his face.
The leopard man boy tried his best to tidy up his messy self. Looking at Arthur and Husky beside him who were suppressing laughter and feeling extremely painful, he couldn't help but look shy: "Hal won't come to a place like this next time. Meow."
"Pfft... don't say that, Charlotte... Black Cat's dark cuisine... Oh no, the Gothic cuisine is still very good." King Arthur still had an expression on his lips that couldn't stop.
Smile: "The most important thing is, you never know what it was originally made of."
"Is it as good as dad's dark cuisine?" Hal asked doubtfully.
"It's just as good. There are some people in this world who are not good at ordinary cooking, but they can make delicious dark cuisine, haha." There is something in King Arthur's words, and it has a different artistic conception.
"That's too much, you actually said that to me." Black Cat came over with three cups of drinks, "Let's drink some coffee first. Children are not suitable for drinking coffee, right? I specially changed it to decaffeinated mocha latte."
"Huh?" Husky looked at the wonderful cup of coffee in front of him. It was milky white, almost without the color that coffee should have, but it was filled with the mellow aroma of coffee. There were also a few pieces of white stuff floating on it,
It should be marshmallows.
Husky didn't know what "decaf" was, but since it was a dark dish, it was probably not coffee at all, but something else made to look like coffee.
The dog-man boy swallowed his saliva and took a bold sip.
The mellow coconut milk flavor spread from that wonderful drink to the depths of Husky's throat.
Only then did Husky realize that this cup of "coffee" was actually white coffee simulated by lightly roasted coconut milk and mixed with other spices. And those things that looked like marshmallows were actually coconuts.
Bland but full of chewy white coconut fruit.
King Arthur took a sip of strong black coffee in a very elegant style, breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Where is [Shadow Walker]? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
The black cat replied with a very strange sentence: "Oh, he is stuck in the cracks of another dimension, fighting to the death with various document monsters, and he probably can't get out yet."
What it actually means is that someone is busy processing paperwork and hasn't gotten off work yet...
Husky almost choked to death on his coconut milk coffee.
"Really?" Arthur responded nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I have plenty of time. I can wait for another half century in this eternal throne."
This time it was Hal's turn to almost choke on his coffee.
"Uncle Arthur..." The two teenagers looked at the King of Knights with sad expressions at the same time.
"What? This is the rule in this store. You have to be exaggerated and surreal, do you understand?" The King of Knights had a malicious smile on his face, and he was having a good time.
"The main course will be here soon. Today's recommended delicacies include [Dark Demon Eye], [Book of the Dead], and [Tower of Karmic Fire]. Do you want to try it?"
"It's all done. Prepare a [Tower of Karma Fire] for each of these two little beasts. I won't eat this dish---I hate sweets. That's all."
Although he loved to eat a lot, King Arthur always insisted in front of others that he hated sweets. His Queen Greenville often complained about Arthur's dishonest attitude.
"Understood. Let's prepare it right away." Black Cat chuckled inwardly and wrote down all the dishes. Of course, only they themselves know what these dishes with wonderful names are.
But the orc boys knew nothing about it. Just hearing the names of these dishes, Husky and Hal began to feel scared.
"You actually called us [little beasts] woof..." After the black cat left, Husky looked at his Uncle Arthur with even more sad eyes.
"Huhu, don't worry. [The Tower of Karmic Fire] tastes great, just look forward to it."
"Just hearing the names makes me feel scary." Hal felt exhausted all over and no longer had the energy to complain about the names of these dishes.
"So," Arthur turned to chatting with the two teenagers, "You are going to deal with Zhang Ren today? Isn't that a humanoid creature? How does it feel to kill [people] for the first time?"
As if his butt was stung by a sharp needle, Husky trembled all over. He had known that their Uncle Arthur would ask similar questions, but he did not expect to be questioned like this at this time and in this environment.
.
"I feel...it doesn't seem that scary." Husky replied in a low voice, "I always feel...I got used to barking for no reason."
In retrospect, this incident was actually quite terrifying. He was obviously just an eight-year-old dog boy, but he could kill people without batting an eye, as if it was a matter of course.
Even Huskey was in disbelief at what he had done.
Perhaps it was because it was a game that his guilt over the killing was blurred?
Perhaps it was because those chapter figures were not completely humanoid that his guilt was alleviated?
But he knew very well that all these were excuses.
Perhaps he is just such a bad boy with a bad personality, killing people without batting an eyelid and taking killing as a matter of course?
While Husky was concentrating on reflection, Arthur also looked closely at the dog-man boy and the leopard-man boy, trying to find a trace of the murderer's ferocity in these two seemingly cute little devils.
But he couldn't find it. In reality, these two children were still innocent teenagers. They were confused and guilty for what they had done, but their faces never showed even a trace of satisfaction after killing.
.
This may be the answer Arthur wants. In addition to honing the skills of these children, the simulation training system is also designed to test them to a large extent.
If they are born, brutal killers, their flaws will definitely be revealed at this moment, and there will always be some clues to be found.
But Arthur couldn't see any problem in it at all.
The King of Knights, who possesses superhuman insight, could not see the word "cruel" in these two young men, he only saw "confusion".
That is not the [fear] that ordinary people should have, nor the [cruelty] that a murderer should have, but [confusion], simple [confusion].
Arthur was surprised. The King of Knights, who had amazing insight, had read countless people over the years and should have seen all kinds of strange people in the world. But he had never seen such a [person].
The performance of these two orc boys was full of contradictions. They were neither [Demons], nor [Angels], nor [Humans].
They cannot be explained by common sense, [something that does not belong to this world].
------They are, [some kind of creature beyond logic].
It's rare for such a guy to exist in the world, but they actually appeared in front of Arthur in pairs.
What should Arthur do with them?
"Then, let me ask you one more question," King Arthur continued to test the two teenagers in front of him to make sure that what he saw was not the acting skills of the teenagers: "If the same thing happens again, and this time it is in reality
If something happened, would you choose to kill someone?"
"Uncle Arthur, you really have to ask this, meow..." Hal felt very uncomfortable being questioned.
"You can choose not to answer me. But in the end, you still have to answer this question with your own conscience---assuming you really have a conscience."
"Husky will do it," the dog boy replied in a low voice, "If someone dares to hurt Husky's friends, even if Husky is asked to kill someone, he must stop that person."
It was [Guard] that gave him a reason to kill.
Whether it is right or wrong, only God knows.
"Well, can't you stop talking about such a heavy topic?" Black Cat came over with a plate of dishes: "Enjoy it while you are eating. Thinking too deeply will affect your digestion."
"Sorry." King Arthur said calmly. He was secretly glad that the black cat came at the right time.
When the teenagers came to their senses, the black cat had already opened the silver lids on the dishes. Husky also put aside those unpleasant things for the time being and focused on [eating].
superior.
He could predict that the dish would be blinding from the beginning, but he also did not expect that the dish in front of him would be so blinding.
In the red sauce that looked like a pool of blood, a huge eyeball stood quietly. The purple-black pupils were staring at Husky, staring intently and pitifully, making the dog-man boy's back feel cold.
.
"[Dark Demon Pupil]." The black cat introduced his dark cuisine with a naughty and subtle smile: "The white part of the eyes is made of fresh fish meat and egg whites, and the black color of the middle pupil is special.
Ingredients. Guess what they are?"
"Hmm---" Hal, the leopard boy, turned to his uncle Arthur for help. But the Knight King just shook his head. Of course he would not reveal the answer to the two teenagers.
"Anyway, anyhow, let's try it first." Husky smiled bitterly, and gingerly stretched the knife towards the big eyeball on the plate.
The large, uniformly round eyeballs, which are as big as eggs and have a uniform round shape, do not look very scary. Even the bloodshot eyes on the whites of the eyes can be clearly seen. Although I know clearly that these are fake eyeballs made of fish and egg whites, they are so well made.
It's so lifelike, and the tomato sauce on the side is as scary as blood, making your heart beat faster when you eat it.
Husky was anxious to find out what ingredient made up the black part of the pupil, so he cut there with a knife and cut off the pupil of the eyeball.
He didn't know if it was an illusion or something real, but he felt that when he cut with the knife, his whole eyeball twitched, as if he was struggling due to pain.
