The restaurant's sign is very eye-catching, with a picture of a huge steak that looks delicious and appetizing.
After getting off the carriage, Lin Mo looked around carefully.
The iron sign at the door reads 'No. 31 Anjin Road'.
Right here.
Lin Mo, wearing a gas mask, waved his hand and Sister Yue came down.
"Mr. Dave, please wait at the door for a while. It will take about ten minutes at the fastest and a few hours at the slowest. If you are bored, you can play with the dolls or chat with them."
Dave nodded.
What else can he say now?
Walking to the door of the restaurant, Lin Mo pushed the door open and walked in.
Regarding No. 31 Dark Gold Road, this is the information provided by the carnivore in the Howard family.
It is said that not many meat eaters know about this place.
Lin Mo felt very lucky.
According to the meat eaters' description, this is the headquarters of the Meat Eaters Association.
The real headquarters.
That's why Lin Mo wanted to bring Sister Yue here as well.
Although from what Lin Mo has learned about the strength of the carnivores, they are generally average, these guys are not nightmares, but just ordinary dead people who have been tainted by some kind of curse.
So the strength is not that strong.
Originally, Lin Mo thought he could handle it alone, but to be safe, he brought Sister Yue along as well.
There is only one reason why Lin Mo is so cautious, and that is that this is the third level of dreamland.
I pushed open the door and the bell above rang.
This means that a guest has arrived.
The restaurant was very dark, for most of the windows were covered with heavy drapes, but it was not pitch dark, for candles were burning inside.
There are a few candles towards the bar, and you can vaguely see a person standing behind them.
There were about a dozen tables in the restaurant, but only two of them had guests. Candles were also lit, and there was only one person sitting at each table. You could see plates on the tables, and a lot of the steaks had been eaten.
The restaurant was very quiet, and the sounds of Lin Mo and Sister Yue coming in briefly broke the silence.
Lin Mo took a glance.
At this time, a person came over and said that this was a members-only restaurant and no service was provided to non-members.
Generally speaking, when you encounter this kind of situation, you can either leave or become a member.
Lin Mo said I want to become a member.
This man, who was obviously a waiter, had a hypocritical smile on his face and shook his head to indicate that they were a place where old members would guide new members, and that only those introduced by old members could join.
Lin Mo felt like he was being targeted.
His approach was very simple and direct.
He grabbed the waiter by the neck.
The other party's face changed and he wanted to resist.
To be fair, this waiter was not weak. Among the dead people here, he was one of the best. His strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, but at this moment, he was strangled by Lin Mo and had no power to resist.
Anyway, in terms of strength, Lin Mo can now easily suppress the opponent.
"Come on, I want to become a member, please do me a favor and let me in through the back door."
Lin Mo said with a smile, then grabbed the other person and walked towards the service bar.
There is another figure inside.
The other person stared at Lin Mo, with a hint of danger in his cold eyes.
The waiter who was being strangled wanted to speak, but couldn't. Lin Mo came to the front of the bar and said he wanted to become a member.
The man inside who looked like a manager twitched his lips.
Just when Lin Mo thought that the other party was also the kind of person who didn't know the current situation, the other party took out a piece of paper, handed over a pen, and said to fill in the form first.
Agreed? Letting go of the waiter, Lin Mo said that it would be better if it was done earlier.
He acted very relaxed.
But the restaurant manager and waiters were very nervous.
Lin Mo looked at the form.
There are a lot of clauses written on it, including obligations and restrictions, about twenty items in total, and you need to sign it in the end.
In fact, all Lin Mo had to do was sign.
But it was obvious that this piece of paper had the power of a contract, and signing one's own name on it was absolutely impossible.
So Lin Mo thought about it and wrote the word "spider".
He has a grudge against spiders, so there is nothing wrong with putting the blame on the spider.
"Yes, my name is Spider. You can also call me Mr. Spider."
Lin Mo remained calm and talked nonsense.
The waiter was already afraid of Lin Mo at this time. He didn't dare to look at him, let alone make eye contact with him, but he must have been cursing in his heart.
The manager didn't say much.
He just checked the agreement and then said, "Mr. Spider, from now on, you are a member of our restaurant. Please take a seat and enjoy the food."
It's quite straightforward.
Obviously the other party knew that Lin Mo had written the name randomly, but it was possible that he thought it was better to keep out of trouble.
Or maybe there are other means.
In short, the small conflict was resolved at this moment.
Lin Mo and Sister Yue chose a table and sat down. They didn't need to order any food, as they were told that the food here was fixed and it didn't matter whether they ordered or not.
After a while, the waiter came over with two plates, lowered his head and placed two steaks on the table, then left without looking back.
"This guy is petty and still holds a grudge!"
Lin Mo muttered.
Then look at the steak on the table.
Very thick and very fragrant.
Lin Mo is not talking nonsense, it really smells good.
Even that fragrance has a temptation.
At this moment, Lin Mo felt that the glutton's curse in his body was being drawn out.
suppress.
A bit overwhelming.
Even at that moment, Lin Mo was a little dazed, as if something strange had happened in an instant.
And Lin Mo woke up.
The reason was that Sister Yue on the opposite side reached out and grabbed his wrist.
It was only at this time that Lin Mo realized that he had already cut a piece of meat from the plate with a knife and fork, and was about to put it into his mouth.
Lin Mo frowned.
interesting.
Lin Mo glanced at Sister Yue and asked her if she felt the meat was delicious.
Sister Yue said no.
"Strictly speaking, I am not made of flesh and blood, so I don't need to eat. Most importantly, I once castrated my appetite. Of course, I can get it back. I just need to put my stomach back in."
Sister Yue explained while taking something out of her arms.
It seems like a stomach.
Like a leather bag.
That means that all the parts on Sister Yue's body are detachable. They can be installed when needed and removed when not needed.
So convenient.
Lin Mo's face was full of envy.
For example, now, there is obviously something wrong with this steak, but Sister Yue can use her method to directly isolate herself from this temptation.
This is what we call solving the problem from the root.
Lin Mo lowered his head and looked at the beef, wondering what would happen if he had eaten the meat just now? What is certain is that this meat is not the source of the meat eater's curse that Lin Mo is looking for.
The Glutton's curse just now was just lured, but there was no real desire to devour that was generated when the curse was enhanced.
Obviously, there is no good in eating this beef.
This is not what Lin Mo is looking for.
"Is this all the Carnivore Association headquarters has?"
Lin Mo felt that he had not yet discovered the truth here.
After thinking it over, Lin Mo asked Sister Yue to wait here.
"What are you going to do?" Sister Yue asked, whether she was ready to fight.
Lin Mo said don't be hasty, let's try to use courtesy first and then force, and only take action if it really doesn't work. Besides, it seems that this problem cannot be solved by force.
Sister Yue nodded.
Lin Mo stood up and walked towards a guest.
There were only two customers in the restaurant.
Lin Mo thought about it and decided to talk to the two guests one by one to see what they knew.
Walk over, pull out a chair and sit down.
The diner was obviously stunned and looked at Lin Mo.
The other person is a fat man.
The kind that are so fat that they have no neck.
He was dressed proudly, carrying a napkin, and had already eaten most of the meat on his plate.
He was puzzled and didn't know why Lin Mo was sitting here.
"Let's talk!"
Lin Mo said directly.
“Get lost!”
The fat diner said coldly.
Lin Mo smiled, reached out his hand like lightning to snatch the knife from the other person's hand, and then nailed his palm to the table.
The sound is very loud.
But there was no scream.
Because Lin Mo grabbed the other person's neck with his other hand.
I couldn't scream even if I wanted to.
The fat man's face turned green, he was in pain, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his whole body was shaking.
"Let's talk!"
Lin Mo said it again.
This time the fat man nodded knowingly.
You have no choice but to nod. If you continue to resist, you will lose your life.
"What's your name?" Lin Mo let go of the other person's neck.
The fat diner took a few deep breaths before saying his name was 'Flo'.
"Mr. Fro, my name is Spider."
"Hello, Mr. Spider."
"Mr. Fro, do you only eat meat here?"
"right."
"Looks like a regular here."
"Yes."
“Is this meat delicious?”
For this question, Flor seems to have a lot to say, which is like scratching the other party's itch. It's like discussing ACG beauties and games with otakus, and discussing money and luxury goods with gold diggers.
It can definitely spark topics and discussions.
It can be seen that Flor really likes the meat here and is full of praise. In short, it is so good that you will miss it if you don't eat it for a day.
Lin Mo asked an interesting question.
If the food is so delicious, why are there only two diners in such a big restaurant?
Logically, there shouldn't be a lot of people here? But Fro said that not everyone is qualified to eat meat here.
"You have to be a gourmet with good taste, and as far as I know, there are very few such gourmets. Fortunately, I am one of them."
The guy was obviously very proud of this, had a sense of honor and was complacent.
Lin Mo did not get the information he wanted from this guy.
Flor is a man of considerable family background here.
Is a banker.
rich.
His biggest hobby is eating.
In this case, it is not surprising that some people are seduced into becoming meat eaters.
But this guy knew nothing about the specific situation of this restaurant, especially about the source of the curse.
It can be seen that he is not hiding it, he really doesn't know.
Lin Mo certainly didn't want to continue wasting time on this guy who was as fat as a pig.
So he looked at another diner.
The other party is very smart.
Want to run.
Lin Mo pulled this guy back before he left.
Swish! A flash of cold light passed by, and Lin Mo didn't dodge it.
There is no need to hide.
Under the strengthened steel curse, Lin Mo can withstand ordinary attacks.
Besides, although this diner looked tall, about 1.88 meters, he was very thin, with a long face and a serious expression, giving him an aura of authority without even being angry.
It feels like a teacher, lawyer or doctor.
He looked at the weapon in the other person's hand.
OK.
It should be a doctor.
Because this guy is holding a scalpel.
There was a white scratch on the arm.
The other party was obviously confused. He probably never thought that the sharp scalpel in his hand did not cut Lin Mo's skin.
Lin Mo slapped this dishonest guy in the face.
Beat him up first.
The waiter in the restaurant wanted to come over to stop it, but when he thought of the previous scene where he was choked, he backed off.
The manager was not stupid either. He also hid in the bar and didn't dare to come out.
Let Lin Mo beat up their valued customers.
Lin Mo stopped only when the other party was bruised and started begging for mercy.
"I hit you because you cut me with a knife. Now we are even. Don't be so unhappy. Be happy. Come on, smile."
Lin Mo looked like he deserved a beating.
The opponent's fists were clenched so hard that they made a squeaking sound, but there was nothing he could do.
To be honest, this doctor's strength is not weak. If he is placed in the first layer of dreams, he can be regarded as an A-level nightmare. But Lin Mo could suppress the A-level before. Now the two curses have been deepened by the curse of the third layer of dreams, and the strength has become several times stronger. Naturally, killing this person is as easy as crushing an ant.
In this situation, it's normal to be a little crazy.
Lin Mo asked the doctor why he ran away just now.
Then the doctor asked him why he couldn't run.
This rhetorical question made Lin Mo ponder for a moment.
He probably understood why the doctor ran away, because the other party had clearly seen how he dealt with the waiter and the fat man Fro. Based on a normal person's IQ, it would be easy to guess that the doctor would attack him next.
So it's not surprising that doctors run away.
Lin Mo stopped worrying about this matter.
He tried to extract some useful information from the doctor.
In other words, it’s very enjoyable to deal with smart people.
The doctor seemed to have guessed Lin Mo's intention, so without Lin Mo asking, he told him everything he knew.
"You are looking for the real headquarters of the Carnivore Association, right? This is it. The so-called headquarters in other places are all fake. Only this place is real. I am also a carnivore, but my level is a little higher. Maybe you want to explore the secrets of carnivores, but I want to tell you, don't do that, because carnivores are a terrible curse."
Who knew that Lin Mo was not scared at all.
"I came here to find this curse."
Lin Mo looked serious and said, "You know what? Just hang up on it."
The doctor looked at Lin Mo in surprise.
He seemed to detect a similar curse aura on Lin Mo.
But there is still a difference between them and meat eaters.
All I can say is that they are of the same kind, but different.
"If you are here for the curse, then you don't need to ask me. Just wait here for a while, and Mr. Gourmet will be here. The manager over there has already notified him in a special way."
Foodie? Finally some good clues and progress.
Lin Mo knew that his trip was not in vain.
The doctor knew a little more than Lin Mo thought.
He said that all meat eaters, including himself, were actually people who were there to help the 'foodies' share the curse.
"The gourmet has a curse that is very powerful, so powerful that he cannot bear it alone. Although this curse has brought him great power, he has lost even more."
"I am his attending physician. I don't have any special knowledge of curses, so I used the dilution theory in medicine. Since the curse on him cannot be removed, I can only dilute it and let more people bear it. In this way, he will not be backfired by the terrible curse."
The doctor opened his mouth and spoke louder, as if he had been holding these things in his heart for a long time.
I want to find someone to talk to.
Of course it is also possible that he was afraid that Lin Mo would beat him up again.
He said something about gourmets.
For example, a gourmet is a very beautiful woman who has a happy family with a son and a daughter.
For another example, the doctor actually has a crush on the other person, so he is the first person willing to take on the curse for the gourmet, and at the same time, he is willing to find a way to dilute the curse for the gourmet.
The doctor said a lot about this scene.
Lin Mo was tired of listening.
Because most of what this guy is talking about is unrequited love and infatuation.
The problem is that he is not interested in this kind of gossip.
"Let's fast forward this paragraph, or skip 8,000 words and focus on the curse."
"Oh, yes, yes!"
The doctor was obviously not satisfied. For him, how to love a woman unrequitedly and make sacrifices for her was the part he thought should be described in detail.
Unfortunately, Mr. Spider didn't want to hear it.
It’s better not to say it. What if I get beaten again?
"This curse is very scary. The gourmet once used this curse to kill several powerful demons, but the curse is a double-edged sword. The gourmet also turned into a monster because of the curse."
"She couldn't control her appetite. It seemed like anything could be a delicacy in her mouth."
"Until one day, she ate her own husband. At that moment, the gourmet made up his mind to exorcise the curse, but it was difficult, almost impossible, so I thought of a way to dilute the curse. That is, use her blood, mix it with other food, and feed it to ordinary people. In this way, the curse will be shared by everyone, and her impact will be reduced."
Lin Mo probably understood.
This is actually how the so-called "meat eaters" come from.
Those who were tainted by the curse became meat eaters.
"Have the symptoms subsided?"
Lin Mo is very concerned about this.
He felt that if the curse could be solved by this dilution method, then the curse was probably not a good one.
Not that strong.
If that happens, I will be very disappointed.
"It weakened at first," the doctor said.
When Lin Mo heard this, he knew it was possible, and quickly asked what happened next.
"But as many meat eaters continue to eat, it seems that the curse is more powerful than before. It's like taking some kind of drug. You know you're committing suicide, but you just can't stop. It's also like knowing there's an abyss in front of you, but you can only move forward until you fall in, with no chance of recovery."
You know what, the doctor is quite talented. The useless fat guy couldn't even say these two sentences just now.
From what the doctor has said so far, this curse is what Lin Mo is going to get rid of.
He rubbed his hands excitedly and asked where the gourmet was so he could visit him.
At this time, the doctor seemed to sense something, and he looked up behind Lin Mo.
laughed.
"She's already here!"
