Chapter 089 1552 Haunted House (21)
In the room, Ren Ze sat at the table and watched Xie Chi reapply the medicine. He asked, "Which dish on the table do you think is a variation of the iron plate turtle?"
Ren Ze had already realized Xie Chi's intention of tasting all the dishes, and was now a little curious.
Lu Wen also looked over here.
Xie Chi didn't even raise his eyes: "Boiled crab."
"Are you so sure?" Ren Ze was slightly surprised.
Xie Chi said: "The cooking method of iron plate turtle is to put the cleaned live turtle into the water and boil it. The water temperature will gradually rise. The turtle will struggle to drink the soup because of the heat. The soup with seasoning will naturally enter its stomach. In the end, the soup will be all over its body and outside. The meat is extremely delicious."
"Fuck." Ren Ze glared, "I thought grilled soft-shelled turtle was grilled on a grill. Now that you put it that way, I know why it must be boiled crab."
Because dead crabs are poisonous, crabs are always alive when they are cooked.
To boil crabs, put the cleaned live crabs into the water and boil them. The crabs will not react at first, but as the water temperature rises, they will begin to struggle. At this time, you should cover the pot tightly to prevent the crab claws from pushing the lid open.
During the cooking process, people nearby can even clearly hear the crab claws in the pot scratching the edge of the pot almost frantically. The scratching sound becomes smaller and smaller, and finally returns to calm, which means the crabs are cooked. As soon as the pot is opened, the tempting crab red is everywhere.
Grilled turtle and boiled crab are similar in nature.
Lu Wen said sincerely: "I didn't feel anything when I ate it before, but now I feel it's so cruel. Why didn't I have any reaction before..."
"It's normal." Xie Chi finished bandaging the wound, without any extra expression on his face. "The survival of humans is based on the death of lower animals. Your survival means that countless chickens, ducks, and fish will sacrifice for you. To some extent, each of us is not clean and is a predator. Therefore, extra pity is useless, because survival itself is cruel."
Lu Wen objected: "Then I'll be a vegetarian..."
Xie Chi glanced at him with a smile: "Are vegetables and fruits not life?"
Lu Wen suddenly realized what was going on and felt mixed emotions.
"As humans have evolved, we have stripped away the compassion that is harmful to ourselves. At most, we may have a flash of compassion at some point. For example, when you see a butcher killing a pig in a slaughterhouse, you are shocked and sad, but that's all. You will forget it after a while. You will not give up eating pork because of a moment of compassion. So we are all self-deceiving creatures."
Ren Ze looked at Xie Chi in shock, thinking that he had a beastly heart under his skin: "You mean, you don't seem to despise those who eat human flesh and game..."
He felt a chill in his heart and had an urge to stay away from Xie Chi.
Xie Chi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You are wrong. Don't mix them up. The bottom line cannot be touched. Those who eat those are animals, not humans. Of course, we should discuss them separately. I am just saying that for common ingredients such as chickens, ducks, geese, and fish, you have to give them the most basic respect. Your life is based on their death, so of course you have to cook them in a decent way. It is not shameful to kill the weak for the sake of survival, but it is shameful to kill and humiliate the weak for the sake of survival."
"Doesn't this movie tell us that those who bully the weak will eventually be retaliated by the weak. Those who feast on food will eventually become food for the food."
Ren Ze breathed a sigh of relief . He was really scared by Xie Chi.
"But, I don't think highly of humans. When pushed to the limit, they can do anything. In ancient books, it is true that people exchanged their own children for food. It is true that they were starving to death." Xie Chi looked at Ren Ze, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. "Maybe you will really become food on my plate. Who knows."
He shrugged, with endless malice in his eyes.
Ren Ze shuddered subconsciously , then he yelled in anger when he realized what he was doing. He always felt uneasy about this seemingly gentle person.
monster.
…
[So this is a haunted house movie on the surface, but it’s actually an educational movie? ]
[Chi Shen had calculated everything, but he had missed Ma Heng, the one who was the most inconspicuous but the one most likely to do bad things.]
[Alas, if Ma Heng was a gray name without his own opinion, it wouldn't be a bad thing; if he was stronger, he wouldn't be so stupid. It just so happens that he is the last one of the newcomers, and he doesn't have enough strength but has his own ideas...]
[There is a huge gap in the quality of this class of new talents... the strong ones are so strong that they doubt their lives, and the weak ones are so weak that they are powerless to complain.]
[In fact, their quality is quite good... Xie Chi, Lu Wen, Ren Ze, Xia Yao, You Jing are all OK, each with their own characteristics. You are asking too much. They are just newcomers, not movie kings or queens. If Chi Zai can survive, he will be crowned a god sooner or later. You are of course inferior to him when you compare him with others.]
[That makes sense…]
…
At the same time, You Jingzheng was chatting with Zhao Jinhua.
"Mom, I feel something is wrong. The female ghost... seems to be problematic." You Jing hesitated for a whole day, but still chose to speak out.
Zhao Jinhua was displeased: "I am an expert in horror movies, how can I be wrong?"
"mom……"
"So what if I'm wrong?" Zhao Jinhua was impatient. She heard Xia Yao taking a shower in the bathroom and sneered, "The boss ghost in the house may not be able to beat my skeleton. What are you afraid of?"
You Jing thought about it and it was true. In the face of absolute strength, he really didn't seem to be afraid of anything. His mother's strength was almost enough to crush the dungeon. Even if she couldn't crush it, she could still get out of the dungeon safely without any IQ and relying solely on props. He couldn't understand his mother from a new perspective and make demands on her. He was still too narrow-minded.
"Tell me what you think is the problem?" Zhao Jinhua was rarely interested.
"The main reason is that finding the teeth is too probabilistic, not like a logically rigorous dungeon. Also, everything is going too smoothly and monotonously, and the male ghost has never come to us. Secondly," You Jing's voice gradually lowered, "Secondly, I think Xie Chi and the others are acting strangely, as if they have mastered something and are plotting something. I always feel a little uneasy..."
Zhao Jinhua thought about it seriously for the first time, frowned, and agreed in his heart, but did not respond. He mocked, "What kind of waves can these newcomers make? I have seen more than ten times as many films as them."
"Besides, would a female ghost dare to play tricks on me? If we really fight to the death, she may not be able to gain the upper hand."
You Jing felt relieved and asked impatiently, "When are we going to deal with Xie Chi?"
Just as Zhao Jinhua was about to answer, the screens of their two cell phones suddenly lit up.
[The tooth collection progress is 5/6, only one tooth is left to complete the collection. 】
Zhao Jinhua's voice unconsciously rose: "Only the last tooth is left? The one Xie Chi handed in, and you found two. We only found three teeth..."
You Jing was also stunned.
Zhao Jinhua reacted and said angrily: "Those actors must have handed over two teeth to the female ghost without our knowledge!"
You Jing calmed down and frowned, "You didn't report the collection progress before, why are you reminding me now?"
The two screens lit up again.
[Ghost Girl updates its faction requirements and rewards:
Update reason: The last tooth is different from the other teeth. The ghost girl cannot obtain the last tooth on her own. It must be presented by her believers in person to complete the task. Because after finding all the remaining teeth, the other teeth can sense the location of the last tooth. After the ghost girl digests and adapts to the fifth tooth, the last tooth will explode.
New requirement: Believers in the female ghost camp seize the last tooth and present it to the female ghost.
Reward: The female ghost promises not to kill you (after the plot ends, the filming is considered completed and you leave the film.)]
Zhao Jinhua looked at it and sneered: "Not killing us, the female ghost actually concealed something, but now she is very sincere. I have seen it, there is no word game, the reward is real."
You Jing relaxed completely and said with a smile, "That's just for your sake. She has thought it through and is afraid of any changes, so she simply offers her sincerity to ask for your help. After all, she really needs our help."
Zhao Jinhua hummed with satisfaction.
You Jing thought of something and his face darkened: "If that's the case, we have no idea about the hidden part, then our exploration of the plot is not very low? We are definitely not as good as Xie Chi and the others..."
Zhao Jinhua looked at him in disbelief: "They are all dead. Who can compete with you in exploring the plot? Why do you always focus on trivial and meaningless things?"
You Jing was stunned for a moment, then laughed. He was really foolish. As long as everyone except him and his mother died, they would definitely be the first and second. Who would care about the plot exploration degree at this time? Competition is based on the premise of having opponents. If the opponents no longer exist, why would he worry about the ranking issue? At most, it is because the plot exploration degree is low and the points are a little less.
"Wait for the explosion point--" Zhao Jinhua fell silent when he saw Xia Yao coming out of the bathroom.
Xia Yao didn't understand what was going on. She walked up to You Jing, handed him the phone, and asked cautiously, "Is this mission update real? Can you help me check it out? Have you received it..."
You Jing was impatient and was about to refuse, but when he lowered his head and saw the content on Xia Yao's phone screen, his eyes froze slightly.
The updated reasons and new requirements that Xia Yao received were exactly the same as theirs, but behind the new requirements... there was nothing.
——The female ghost never told Xia Yao about the reward.
If you don’t say it, then it doesn’t exist.
How cunning.
The female ghost reached an agreement with them, but still chose to deceive Xia Yao and take his life.
You Jing sneered in his heart. This was perfect. He didn't have to do anything. If it weren't for the audience, he would have kicked Xia Yao out long ago.
This female ghost is really good at understanding people's minds.
You Jing spoke to Xia Yao in a very gentle tone, which was rare for him: "We received the same thing as you did. Don't worry, it will be over soon."
Xia Yao's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, fell back. She regretted providing information to Xie Chi. After the film was finished, You Jing and Zhao Jinhua saw the finished film and knew about her betrayal. She completely broke off with them and would have to hide from them from now on.
This is a great loss for her.
Xia Yao was secretly upset. Up to now, she had always been helping Xie Chi. That group of people had done nothing for her. Was it really right for her to betray You Jing in a fit of anger? Would she be able to survive if she lived alone in the future?
But she couldn't confess to You Jing now that she had betrayed Xie Chi and the others, as this would only make her situation worse.
There is no good result if you try to play both sides, Xia Yao knows this very well.
Even if the boat is not so reliable, she has already boarded it and must not get off. Otherwise, she will be caught in a dilemma and both sides will hate her. She is powerless and is just a helper. She must rely on others.
She has no choice, what can she do?
Xia Yao rubbed his hair regretfully.
…
"It's hot. It's so hot. It's so hot..."
Xie Chi had just dozed off for two seconds when he heard Lu Wen's calls, getting louder and louder.
He suddenly opened his eyes and rushed over, and found that Lu Wen's back was red, and the blue-green scales on his back had become transparent due to the high temperature.
Lu Wen looked like a boiled fish.
