Chapter 271 Chapter 271 Hot
"People nowadays, impulse is the devil."
"Son, don't play with your phone when you go upstairs. Be careful not to fall. It will take a hundred days to heal your broken bones."
"impossible."
"You're already impatient after I've said a few words to you, aren't you?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing."
The discussions of the family of three faded away with the sound of footsteps, and the sound of sighs could also be heard from the unsoundproof Room 101.
"A whole truckload of watermelons was smashed."
Zhang Le's face was filled with heartache, but he didn't show much pity for the two fighters who died and were injured.
Who hasn't been young and reckless?
I remember that when they were fighting in a group, everyone had a knife in their hands, but unfortunately they were caught by the police before it even started, and several adults were imprisoned for half a month.
However, there is no need to tell these past events to his good brothers. Gengzi is not a gangster at first glance. When he goes to the game hall, he will just watch others play.
Moreover, several of the brothers who were with him at the time died in a fight, and one was hit by a brick and became a vegetable.
Fortunately, he retired early and stopped doing this, otherwise he would have ended up in the hospital, the crematorium, or the police station.
Zhang Le yawned and continued watching videos. He'd been completely obsessed with it before. There was no point in messing around with that stuff.
I don’t know if it’s the big data push or the heat wave that makes everyone restless, but I watched several videos in a row and they were all fights and brawls from all over the place.
He Junxia frowned slightly as she listened to the voice broadcast and various sad or tense music coming from her phone.
Although he was busy selling skewers to make money, he was not completely unconcerned about the outside world - after all, it was a C-level mission, and there was a high probability that unnatural factors or large-scale natural disasters would occur in the small world.
But he didn't think too deeply about it.
The hot summer weather can easily lead to irritability, and even a minor argument can escalate into a brawl. Coupled with the country's vast territory and large population, it's not surprising that fights and brawls are frequent.
It's a question of probability.
After He Junxia finished her midnight snack, she washed the dishes and took a shower. After asking Zhang Le what he wanted to eat the next day, she went to bed.
The temperature at night is still above 30℃, and the room without windows is even more stuffy, but it can only be cooled by a small desktop electric fan.
He Junxia placed the ice packs from the refrigerator in front of the electric fan, and the wind that blew out was a little chilly.
But it's better than nothing.
This world has no spiritual energy, nor any evil spirits. He cannot practice cultivation, and he does not have enough money to install air conditioning. He can only keep it warm for a few days.
He Junxia closed her eyes, emptied her mind and began to sleep, but suddenly a round object appeared in her hand.
Wait, round
He Junxia subconsciously dropped the thing in his hand and suddenly opened his eyes and became alert.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The sound of a heavy object hitting the floor was particularly obvious in the quiet bedroom, followed by the friction sound of the object rolling back and forth across the ground.
It feels a bit like chicken eggs or duck eggs.
He Junxia still did not let down his guard and immediately picked up his phone and turned on the flashlight.
There was no way an egg would suddenly appear in his hand.
"clatter"
A pitch-black oval object the size of a goose egg stood steadily on the bamboo mat.
"Are you a divine beast egg?"
After discovering a familiar power in the little black egg, He Junxia finally remembered that after the end of the previous world, he had bought a difficult-to-hatch divine beast egg from another tasker.
However, there was no movement on the divine beast egg, and he had been in the previous mission world for more than ten years, and almost forgot about this matter.
But he remembered that the eggs of the divine beasts at that time were not so small, probably about the size of a football.
Is this suppressed by the rules of the world?
He Juanxia stepped forward and picked up the little black egg: "Why did you come out?"
The purely technological dimension does not allow the emergence of non-scientific forces. Since the beast egg can come out, it means that there are non-scientific factors in the small world.
But not only can he not practice, he can't even use his mental power. What's going on?
The former can be said to be due to the poor foundation of the wisher, but the latter is something that should not happen no matter what, after all, even the eggs of divine beasts can appear.
He Junxia was completely confused and could not give any explanation for the little black egg in her hand.
Forget it, let’s go to sleep.
…
At seven o'clock in the morning, before the alarm clock rang, He Junxia was already woken up by the heat, and a red high temperature warning immediately popped up on the phone screen.
The small fan that had been working all night was still working hard to blow air, but it could not bring any coolness to the stuffy room.
He Junxia's neck was already soaked with sweat, but Little Black Egg lay quietly beside the pillow. He didn't seem to feel the heat at all, and he even seemed to enjoy it.
There was a hint of deep meaning in the boy's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Do you want to go out with me?"
The little black egg stood up instantly.
He Junxia bent down and picked up the small black egg. The round object, the size of a goose egg, was inconspicuous and could be easily put into his trouser pocket.
He first went to the bathroom to take a shower, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and then went out to buy vegetables and red willow branch lamb skewers for dinner.
Meat products like this used for barbecue are definitely better the fresher they are, but he didn't have enough money, so he had to make do with frozen products.
Out of trust in the craftsmanship and the wallet of a college student, He Junxia specially bought two large bags today, containing 180 lamb skewers.
He planned to set up a stall somewhere else to sell skewers during the day, and then go to the school gate to reserve a spot around five or six in the evening.
In addition, He Junxia also bought a piece of perfect pork belly at the vegetable market next door, intending to take it back to make braised pork.
Just as I was about to leave, a quarrel broke out at the meat stall not far away.
"What do you mean? You're bullying my kid. How come the steak she bought had a spine in it?"
"Business must be honest. You are cheating on selling 25 yuan a pound of pork ribs."
"We don't want it, give us our money back!"
A curly-haired woman wearing an old green cotton-linen short-sleeved shirt angrily threw a white plastic bag onto the chopping board.
Standing next to her was a young girl in her early twenties, looking embarrassed and at a loss. She must be the child she was talking about.
The white plastic bag that fell on the chopping board was forcefully spread open by a pair of hands accustomed to housework, revealing the bright red bones.
Just as she said, there were not only spare ribs in the bag, but also several pieces of spine that were cheaper than spare ribs.
"That's what his family likes to do. They specifically target old men and women with poor eyesight and young people who don't know how to choose."
"I never buy meat from that store."
"It's so immoral."
"People are shameless, and there is no business without fraud."
The whispers of the people around reached He Junxia's ears. It was obvious that this meat stall had become a notorious store in the vegetable market.
"What are you arguing about? Spare ribs are spare ribs, and spine is spine. The prices of the two bones are different."
"If I bought the two together, why didn't you tell me when you bought them? Why did you come now?"
"Are you deliberately blackmailing me?"
"Get lost! Don't disturb my business."
The butcher's attitude was very bad, and he chased the mother and daughter away like flies.
"Bullshit."
"I'm still blackmailing you. There are surveillance cameras here. They can clearly see if you're doing anything tricky."
"If you don't return my money today, forget about doing business with me. I'll be here guarding everyone and I'll tell them off if they come."
"Bang!"
The sharp knife slashed heavily on the chopping board. The male boss stared at the curly-haired woman angrily: "Do you want to die?"
The curly-haired woman was startled, and quickly took the knife from the chopping board: "Why, you're going to kill people because of dishonesty in your business, and you're even threatening me."
"Okay, you won't refund the money, right? I'm going to call the police now and check the surveillance footage when they get here."
As he was speaking, the male owner of the stall suddenly rushed out, his eyes were bloodshot and his expression was obviously wrong.
The people around who reacted quickly stepped back one after another, and the curly-haired lady pointed the tip of the knife at the man, her hands shaking a little.
"Forget it, forget it."
"It's not a big deal, just give way."
"That's it, forget it."
A few brave people stopped the boss, and the others quickly winked at the mother and daughter, asking them to leave quickly.
Just at this moment, two policemen rushed over, and everyone visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, what no one expected was that the male boss not only did not back down, but also started a quarrel with the crowd and police who came to mediate, and punched one of them in the face.
"Oh no! Assault on a police officer!"
"That was too impulsive. Assaulting a police officer will result in jail time."
The arrogant man was instantly pinned to the ground by two policemen and his hands were handcuffed.
He Junxia saw that the matter was over and was about to leave, but the little black egg in his pocket jumped in the direction of the police, as if it wanted to continue watching the fun.
He Junxia walked forward without hesitation and observed closely, only to find that there was something wrong with the man's expression, especially his eyes.
Those cloudy eyes were filled with red blood vessels, and as the eyeballs moved, it was as if red nematodes were moving in the eyes.
There is a problem
Very problematic
In an instant, alarm bells rang in He Junxia's mind, and countless strange guesses flashed through his mind.
Is it a parasitic infection that causes the drastic change in temperament?
Or is it possessed by evil spirits?
He Junxia was more inclined to the first one, because he did not detect any breath of monsters, and the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron in his spiritual sea of consciousness did not react.
But the little black egg in my pocket was even more excited.
Why?
He Junxia was curious, and the reaction of the divine beast egg indirectly helped him rule out his first guess. So he hesitated for a few seconds before approaching again, ready to dodge.
"Huff huff..."
The man's breathing was unusually heavy, like a savage buffalo, his eyes were fixed, and he even used his hands, feet and mouth to struggle desperately to escape from the police's grip.
A sound similar to sucking jelly came from his ears, and the struggling man suddenly became quiet, and the little black egg in his pocket also became quiet.
He Junxia: ...
Feeling the desire coming from the little black egg, he wiped the sweat from his face helplessly. How could he be in the same situation as the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron?
Forget it, I bought it myself.
He Junxia reached out to calm the excited little black egg, so that it wouldn't jump out in the street and attract attention, especially since the ground was covered with black sewage.
The police took the man who had suddenly become quiet away. He Junxia walked slowly through the vegetable market, observing every passerby inconspicuously, but did not find similar eyes again.
