dry man, dry soul

[Culinary skills: 80/82, judged successful. 】

I don't know if it's because the location at the entrance is not very good, or it may be that Chi Jiang's seasoning is really incomplete. Of course, it is more likely that the stove is too small to cook.

All in all, Chi Jiang's culinary skills are passable, and he reluctantly made a piece of the monster with large intestine into the first delicacy.Spicy large intestine.Stir-fry the large intestine that has been boiled to remove the fishy smell, add all the spicy peppers he can bring, and quickly take it out of the pan after the taste is thoroughly tasted.

Add a little oil for extra flavor.

At some point, several children appeared at the entrance of the shopping mall, never poking their heads out, sniffing and looking in Chi Jiang's direction with bright eyes.

These children are male and female, high and low, fat and thin.Food cravings were written all over their faces.Spicy is a kind of pain. Many creatures can't taste sweet, sour, bitter and salty, but they can only taste spicy.Because they hurt.

Chi Jiang picked one up, put it in his mouth and tasted it, then gasped with a "hiss".Put too much chili.For a person with a sensitive tongue coating like him, the material is heavy.The taste is delicious, but very picky.

The most important thing about the intestine is that it does not have only one outer wall, but has layers of barriers.Each layer of these barriers tastes different.The outermost layer is the most vigorous, after all, it is used by the monsters to crawl.Crawling out of calluses, of course it is thicker and rougher.The inner layer is relatively soft, while the middle layer has a little oil and a richness that can give the barrier enough "smartness".

To put it simply, all its deliciousness is based on making it more convenient for exercise.

What a delicious treat.

More suitable for being caught and eaten.

It seems to be very convenient in terms of breeding.Because they are hard to escape.Where can I escape after climbing for half a day?If you are full of food and drink, maybe your intelligence is limited, and you won't even be able to run.

Thinking of this, Chi Jiang looked at the remnant with even more relief.It's not easy to climb over from the viewing area.As a result, I didn't expect to climb in the wrong direction, and it was not easy to turn my head.

Koike reached out and took a piece from the pot and put it in his mouth.

His eyes instantly turned black from the spicy taste.

The number of children behind General Chi increased again.Everyone quietly watched the outsiders, and finally one couldn't help but ask: "Can I have a taste?"

Chi Jiang suddenly turned his head.

The children behind him looked at him eagerly.

Chi Jiang: "...Yes, yes. If you can find more suitable kitchen utensils for me, maybe I can make a big pot for you."

The children were in an uproar.

No. 47, a "ghost" wearing glasses, appeared at the door.He was supposed to be chasing companions, waiting until the last minute to go to the lobby to catch those who wanted to go back to the children's world.

And he was sure that there were people on the roof, and he even discovered that an explorer rushed into their entertainment battlefield temporarily.Just when he was about to get rid of these two humans, he looked down upstairs and saw all the companions he had caught just now gathered at the door.

He couldn't help but come down to look, and saw someone cooking at the door.

No. 47 smelled the pungent smell in the air: "Eat?"

General Chi saw that these inhuman children were very interested in what he was holding, so he simply pulled the pot into the door and gave them all the chopsticks and spoons he brought: "Each person can taste it in one bite."

Xiao Chi Jiang followed into the door, and when Chi Jiang put down the pot, he immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed another piece.Because it was spicy, his hands were flushed, and it was obvious that he had grabbed it once just now.

The other children followed suit, and they didn't bother to use chopsticks and spoons, so they just reached out to grab them.They were not afraid of being scalded at all, but after the food was put into their mouths, their collective eyes were so hot that they turned black.

Only then did he notice Chi Jiang in their eyes: "..." Very well, it's confirmed now that all the children are not human.

The doorway was so lively that the children who had been hiding all wanted to run out to see the situation.But they are afraid of losing the game.None of them thought that this game was originally intended to make a new human being their kind, but as the arrester No. 47, he had already grabbed the food at the door.

How much meat can a small pot of portable stove cook?It was gone in a blink of an eye.

A child was licking his finger very unhygienically, excitedly: "I know where there is a pot. They will also open a fire in the mall. It is burning gas, and it has not been used up. I will get it for you!"

Another child looked out of the door: "Is this an ingredient outside? Then let me drag it in. Do you want to wash it?"

Chi Jiang was silent for two seconds: "Yes. You may not get sick because of hygiene problems, but I look very uncomfortable."

The children looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at the red and hot patch on their paws, Mei Zizi decided to go to the bathroom to wash his hands.The island is a circulating freshwater system.After several months without people, the mall has not cut off the water for the time being.

No one would have guessed that Chi will single-handedly turned the originally terrifying hide-and-seek game into a gourmet dinner party game.

A child asked General Koike: "Can you do this? Oh, it seems that you can't do it alone. It really takes two of you to do so much for us."

General Koike: "..."

He is obviously an excellent clone, who knows far more than this ignorant adult. For some reason, he finds that he has no way to replace the real General Chi.

The atmosphere below changed suddenly, and the time reached half an hour without knowing it.More and more children gathered around the pot.The children who came later didn't get any meat, so envious they chose to help grab ingredients and find pots and various kitchen utensils.

As a result, it didn't take long for Shen Yu and Qiao Jiu, who had regained his senses, to come down and find that in addition to the children's world, a natural kitchen had been temporarily built in the hall.

The fire depends on gas, and there are iron pots.Meat was marinated in metal alloy basins.Not far away are the remains of some strange creatures.

The two of them even heard the culprit take it for granted and gave a cooking speech: "Meat is rich in protein, which can make you grow taller faster. Of course, I don't know if it can grow taller for you. In In the process of processing the meat, in order to make it more flavorful and more resilient, we can give the meat a proper massage.”

So several children followed suit to cook.

Most of the children present are lacking in cooking skills.The various concepts they got from humans are not sound, let alone the knowledge they get from human cubs.How good can a child be at cooking?

Now Chi will be cooking here. They are already full of curiosity about the unknown, and their keenness to hide and seek is also due to their nature.Now that I have tried delicious food, the more I make it, the happier I am.

One of them wiped his eyes and accidentally wiped the strong spice into his eyes.Eyes are burning hot.The three explorers could see that his eyeballs were pure black and his eye sockets were red.But he was full of joy, giggling and giggling.

Of course, Chi will suspect that these children's culinary skills are as good as Qiao Jiu's, only five.

Each has a different way to roll over.

This one overturned the seasoning, and the other found a knife from nowhere and cut it crookedly.As for those who tried to use fire, they made dangerous movements as they moved.

It was so dangerous that Shen Yu intervened: "Kids don't play with fire."

None of the children present were truly human.However, the three of them as adults were able to live in harmony with this group of children for a while.This eerie atmosphere is completely out of reach of most explorers.

For most explorers, the constant decline in sanity and the atmosphere of terror is enough to make them completely reject all non-human creatures.It can almost be said that in this playground, humans and non-humans are in a state of immortality.

Qiao Jiu sat in the waiting area for adults, watching the scene where humans and non-humans were in complete harmony.She rested her chin and thought about something.

The little Qiao Jiu, who was growing up, sat next to Qiao Jiu, imitating her and resting her chin.The beautiful and charming appearance not only gave them unlimited charm, but also made them feel happy.

Xiao Qiaojiu: "It is difficult to protect others. All the children here hope to survive, and hope to have more companions to join."

Qiao Jiu laughed: "...Can you kill humans for this?"

Xiao Qiao Jiu: "It's not killing, it's fusion or replacement."

She turned her head to Qiao Jiu: "There are four outsiders in total. We lost contact with the last one."

As soon as the words fell, the children who were still busy with the cooking stopped their movements collectively.The hall was full of weirdness again, no child made a sound, and the silence was too creepy to think about.

Chi Jiang noticed that the little guys around him stopped their hands: "What's wrong?"

A little guy: "139 lost contact. He cut us off."

The other children became active again, discussing No. 139 who was not there: "Did he run away with outsiders?" "Is that a doctor?" "There is a strange power in him."

"The last place he disappeared was in the dining area."

They talked a lot.

In the dining area there are the last remaining humans in the playground.

Now Shen Yu picked up Qiao Jiu and asked Chi Jiang: "Shall we go to the dining area? There are many people there. "The Curse of All Souls" may be in the hands of someone."

Chi will plan to take "The Curse of All Souls".He holds a ring in his hand that can pass through the door.He didn't know what would happen when the earrings, necklace and ring were complete.It's just that now he wants to find an empty door.

To touch the unknown, to know everything he doesn't know.

Thinking of this, he laughed, and suddenly understood clearly: "The ultimate fate of explorers may be to lose all sanity. The more you come into contact with unknown powers, the less you can resist those powers."

Knowing that there is a probability that he will go crazy, and knowing that human beings cannot bear such terrifying abilities.At the beginning, there was a need, but later, there was no end to ambition.

An older child heard what Chi Jiang said, and replied solemnly: "I used to watch superheroes with my parents. I really want to be a superhero. They said that there is no need for superheroes in this world. Once there are superheroes After that, ordinary becomes an unbearable word for human beings."

"I want to be capable. To make everyone who bullies me miserable." A child said.

Another kid chimed in: "I want to be invisible, so I can go anywhere."

"I don't want to do my homework. I don't want to come out to play and be talked about all the time. I just want to play."

The group of children started a new topic.

As the culinary dice rolled, Chi Jiang made all kinds of delicacies out of the pot, and at the same time asked these children: "I heard that there is a secret passage here? There is a secret passage in this shopping mall. If you play hide-and-seek here, you will go to this secret passage go?"

The children's divergent topics were pulled to the key content.

A group of little guys chirped again: "That's where we live." "Hide-and-seek cats don't hide in secret passages. We are too familiar with it, and it's easy to be caught."

Listening to the noise, Qiao Jiu thought to herself that you are all familiar with this shopping mall!Even if you don't hide in the secret passage, you are easily caught!You are not human, but a puddle of black mud.

The children probably fully realized that they did not have the talent to cook, and found that Chi Jiang and the other three seemed not to be afraid of them, so they started to demonstrate to the three of them.

One turned his hand into a ball of black mud, and the black mud turned into various passages: "This is how the secret passage is. You can live in it. You can also go back to other places to live."

"My brother lives in the innermost place. He used to hate that place, but now he likes it very much." The other said so.
