Chapter 51 Amusement Park (Part 3)
On Saturday, the outside Household Registration Bureau was coming to do a team building, so just in case, the staff of the amusement park were all disguised as people from Xuanmen.
This is the instruction given by the current leader of Xuanmen, the head of the Zong family, Zong Xuanlang.
Of course, the staff is not only from the Zong family, the four Xuanmen families have inserted their own people to varying degrees. After all, the team building today is the two worlds department! Everyone has different karmic relationships, and it is unknown if one of them can inadvertently develop an opportunity. Although it is not forced, it depends on each person's ability.
On this day, the service provided by these masters of metaphysics could be said to be like being at home. They were even more meticulous and enthusiastic than those of professional service staff.
When Lu Yang rode the carousel for the fifth time, it was already noon. Lu Yang wanted to ride the carousel for the sixth time, but his stomach started to growl, and the carousel finally stopped its endless cycle. Lu Ren was also relieved.
Lu Ren brought Lu Yang to the restaurant in the amusement park.
According to the notice issued by Baihua, today's lunch is included in the team building fee, in other words, it is free. Lunch is a self-service form. When Lu Ren walked into the restaurant, Junfang, Yushi, Fengbo and Baihua had already chosen their seats. They sat around a large table, putting their belongings away and preparing to go to get their meals. Lu Ren happily joined them.
Yu Shi was shocked to see Lu Ren with cat ears: "Ren, have you developed any new hobbies recently?"
This made Lu Ren a little confused.
Perhaps because Lu Ren's expression was too confused, Baihua kindly lent him the small mirror she always carried with her so that he could look at himself.
It was not until this moment that Lu Ren discovered that the chaos fragments above his head had turned into two cat ears.
The young man in the mirror has soft hair, pure eyes, and a pair of black cat ears. He looks gentle, harmless, and even inexplicably cute.
Lu Ren was somewhat resistant to this strange look.
But thinking about Chaos Fragment's excited state last night, Lu Ren knew that this was a manifestation of Chaos Fragment's inability to control his inner excitement.
"Forget it, let it feel a little more involved and have some fun." Lu Ren thought.
So Lu Ren said helplessly to the chaos fragments above his head: "This will only happen once, you have to change back when you go home."
The black cat ears seemed to understand Lu Ren's words and moved slightly, just like a kitten shaking its ears when it was itchy.
This scene made Baihua feel even more maternal, and she rubbed Lu Ren's cheek fiercely: "Aren is so cute today!"
At this time, Lu Yang, who was still hungry, was getting impatient. He tugged at the corner of Lu Ren's clothes and said, "Ren, I'm hungry."
Lu Ren quickly broke free from Baihua's clutches, thanked her and returned the mirror to her, then led Lu Yang and everyone to get the food.
On the way to the dining table, Junfang reminded Lu Ren: "Ah Ren, this buffet is also provided by the Investigation Bureau's cafeteria. I remember you don't like it very much."
Lu Ren: “…” It’s not that I don’t like to eat it, I just don’t dare to eat it.
But to be on the safe side, Lu Ren asked one more question: "Isn't the old lady who eats people's eyes behind the buffet counter?"
He was talking about the old lady serving food at window number 2, the first person in the Foreign Household Investigation Bureau to fight against the Japanese. She once ate one of the eyes of the Japanese exchange demon, Baimugui, in front of Lu Ren, which left a deep impression on Lu Ren.
At this time, Master Yu, who had heard their conversation, explained to Lu Ren: "Aren, are you stupid? Today is the Investigation Bureau's team building. We are consumers, and the restaurant staff must be employees of the amusement park."
This consumer who did not spend a penny seemed very confident.
After hearing this, Lu Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was glad that he would not meet the old lady when picking up the food, so his eyes were saved.
However, before he could rest assured for long, Master Ting Yu added, "The old lady at the second food window is also a member of the Investigation Bureau. She should be here to play today. I just saw her laughing wildly while sitting on the bungee jumping machine."
"Jump...a bungee jumping machine?" Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh, "He's still strong despite his age."
As they were talking, the group had already entered the food pick-up area. Lu Ren heard the restaurant staff in front of him kindly asking their previous customer: "What would you like to eat?"
Then a gloomy, old female voice came: "Eyes."
Does this sound familiar?
Lu Ren turned around and saw the old lady at window number 2 standing in front of them. She was wearing a black Republic of China costume and a pair of black cloth shoes. She looked like she had just crawled out of an old grave, looking sinister.
After hearing what the old lady said, the staff member's smile became a little stiff: "?"
The old woman's face was as dead as a tree. She said eerily and strangely, "Give me your eyes!" Then she stretched out her hands and was about to dig out the staff member's eyes.
Lu Ren thought to himself that this was not good. He had seen the old woman's fighting ability. Just as he was about to call for someone to stop her, he heard Feng Bo shout, "Eating humans will deduct your performance."
After hearing this, the old woman stopped talking for a moment. She rolled her eyes, curled her lips, and walked away with a gloomy face.
…It turns out that for office workers, performance really is everything.
Since the buffet was provided by the canteen of the Investigation Bureau, the dishes were a little strange to Lu Ren. The colors of the dishes scared Lu Ren a little: the meat was either black or blood red, and some were even raw. The vegetables were mainly colorful mushrooms.
Lu Ren was a little hesitant to eat, so he decided to pour a drink to quench his thirst. So he went to the juicer next to him and poured out a cup of milky white drink. Unexpectedly, when Jun Fang saw the drink in his cup, he exclaimed: "Wow, there is actually ghost juice here!"
This name made Lu Ren secretly think it was not good: "Grudge Spirit Juice?"
Jun Fang seemed very excited: "It's the juice squeezed from a hundred vengeful spirits. It's so rare. After drinking it, the sound of a hundred people screaming will instantly ring in your head. It's very refreshing. It can be regarded as the evolved version of coffee."
Lu Ren didn't say anything, but silently put the resentful spirit juice in his hand into Jun Fang's plate.
After bidding farewell to the spirit juice, Lu Ren searched for a long time and finally saw a dish that looked normal. It was a grilled fish on a plate, with normal color and cooked to the right temperature, and it looked no different from the ones he cooked at home.
However, when Lu Ren took a closer look, he discovered that these fish all had human faces. Although their eyes were closed, the visual impact was still significant.
The staff member standing nearby who was in charge of serving the dishes saw that Lu Ren had cat ears and was staring at the fish on the plate, and immediately became very enthusiastic: "Do you want a Ling fish?"
Before Lu Ren could say no, the staff's chopsticks had already impatiently reached for the Lingyu on the plate.
The chopsticks hit the fish.
Lingyu opened his eyes.
The Lingyu began to open its mouth and let out a shrill scream.
The staff member didn't even change the curve of her smile. She just took out a wooden stick from behind her and hit Lingyu's head hard.
The Lingyu stopped calling, it closed its eyes and fainted again.
The staff member continued to smile and picked up the Ling fish with tongs, saying to Lu Ren, "This one is cooked well." Then he put the Ling fish on Lu Ren's plate.
Lu Ren quickly fled the scene 0.01 second before the Lingyu landed on his plate.
Because of his lack of food and clothing during his youth, Lu Ren always followed the principle of eating whatever he could get. He would eat until he was full at every buffet, which would save him money for a dinner. This was the first time he returned to his seat with an empty plate at a buffet.
And his colleagues seemed to be very satisfied with the meals provided by the Bureau of Immigrant Household Survey.
Jun Fang, who was sitting on Lu Ren's right, was tearing the raw meat voraciously.
The Rain Master, who was sitting next to Jun Fang, had Lingyu on his plate. When the Rain Master bit into the fish with his fork, Lingyu's face opened its eyes and screamed with its mouth wide open. Seeing this, the Rain Master quickly picked up the knife beside him and hit Lingyu's forehead hard with the back of the knife. Lingyu closed his eyes again. The Rain Master continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Lu Ren looking at him, Yu Shi complained: "Lingyu is delicious, but I have to knock it every time I eat it. It's really troublesome."
So this knocking action is a fixed procedure for eating Lingyu? !
Lu Ren couldn't understand, he silently withdrew his gaze from Master Yu, and then looked at the Fairy of Flowers. It should be said that Baihua is worthy of being a goddess. Among all the monsters, she is the only one who looks very gentle when eating.
When she opened the lid of the plate, a fairy air lingered around the plate. Inside the plate were round white pearls. They were quite large, about the size of an adult's eyeball.
Seeing this, Lu Ren couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow! She is indeed a fairy, eating pearls."
Unexpectedly, the Rain Master, who was concentrating on eating fish, sneered after hearing this: "Oh, those are not pearls at all."
Before he finished speaking, Baihua, who was holding the pearl with chopsticks, lost her grip and the small white ball fell off the plate and rolled along the corner of the table to the ground. Almost at the moment when the pearl fell to the ground, Lu Ren heard a very small "crack". It was like the sound of an eggshell breaking.
It turned out that there was a crack in the middle of the pearl. Then, a small red spider poked its head out from inside. It looked left and right, and after making sure it was safe, it used its eight legs to work together to break free from the pearl shell and ran away like the wind.
Of course, it didn't run very far. When it was almost at the door, a colleague whose prototype was a bird caught it and ate it.
The Rain Master explained, "The eggs in the Baihua Bowl are from mountain spiders. They will hatch immediately at room temperature, so there is so much dry ice in the bowl."
It turns out that the lingering fairy air is dry ice.
Lu Ren stared in amazement as Baihua picked up another mountain spider egg without changing her expression and swallowed it in one gulp.
Lu Ren had completely lost his appetite at this point, and he looked at the empty plate in front of him, thinking about going to the vending machine to buy some bread. At this moment, he felt someone pulling at the corner of his clothes.
Lu Ren looked down and saw that it was Lu Yang. Lu Yang was holding a bunch of chives, but upon closer inspection, they were not chives, and there was a small blue flower on the flower stalk.
Lu Yang handed the flower in his hand to Lu Ren like offering a treasure: "Ren, this is for you."
Seeing this, Master Yu was surprised and said, "Ah, it's Zhu Yu. This thing is quite rare. Great, Ren, if you eat one of these, you won't feel hungry for the whole day."
Lu Ren smiled and thanked Lu Yang for his kindness, then ate Zhu Yu's flower doubtfully. He immediately felt a warm current flowing into his body and limbs.
I'm actually not hungry anymore.
Lu Ren lowered his head and saw Lu Yang's eyes looking forward to praise. He smiled and touched his head and said, "Thank you."
Lu Ren looked up at the noisy dinner table again. Although the food was not very delicious, the table was a mess, and the people eating with Lu Ren also ate in a horrible way, Lu Ren was in a good mood and thought: "It's actually quite good to not have to eat alone." So, he smiled and joined in the jokes of the group.
