Chapter 957 Reminder (Last Two Days for Monthly Pass)
Because Franka and Roxanne had already ordered chicken and taro in advance and asked to be made immediately, the three of them quickly ate the steaming food.
Franka asked the waiter to make a medium-spicy soup base for the dipping bowl, added some minced garlic, chopped green onions and coriander, and finally poured in oyster sauce, which is both salty and fresh, with a hint of sweetness, which can enrich the spicy taste very well.
She glanced at Zhou Mingrui and found that the other party was similar to her choice.
The hero sees something similar...... After rolling in the dipping bowl, blow it for more than ten seconds, and take a bite, full of the aroma of starch and the taste of taro itself, they also absorb the spiciness of the soup base and the deliciousness of the fat, combined with the saltiness and sweetness of the oyster sauce, which makes people salivate quickly, effectively reducing the residual burn.
Franka ate three pieces of taro before remembering a piece of chicken.
She is willing to rate this as the top 3 vegetarian dishes in the hot pot industry, and the other two are potato slices and lettuce with leaves.
The three of them ate quietly for a while, and after filling their stomachs, Luo Shan took the initiative to open various topics to make the scene not embarrassing.
With her active atmosphere, the three of them chatted quite happily, from the company's rumors and scandals to the recent employment environment and the current situation of former colleagues.
The handsome security guard naturally became part of the topic, and Luo Shan regretted that the other party had not guarded the gate recently, so that seeing was not believing.
Coldly, Zhou Mingrui asked about Franka's professional situation and was curious about why she changed careers after graduation.
Franka talked about her true feelings when she was studying:
"Being a cow and a horse, earning still very little, and life is in danger, I have to survive until I am in my thirties or forties to barely have a decent income.
Zhou Mingrui expressed his understanding:
"There are people everywhere on the Internet who persuade people to study medicine, but doctors are a late-stage profession, and the older you get, the more popular they are......
Speaking of this, Zhou Mingrui suddenly paused, frowned unconsciously, and then continued:
"I asked for a relationship to go back to my hometown hospital as an intern doctor."
And such a small hair? It's not mentioned in the information...... Obviously not Penden, nor is it the woman who likes to travel...... In Franka's doubts, Zhou Mingrui talked about medicine.
Franka perfectly plays the role of a former medical student who has changed careers for three years, and he can still talk about the basics, but he almost forgets them in depth.
She is not a "general knowledge"!
——Now this identity is almost a reproduction of her own state, playing like a fish in water, the only difference is that she has not actually graduated, and it has been six or seven years since she changed careers.
When Zhou Mingrui nodded invisibly, Roxanne glanced at Franka and said with a smile:
"Have you ever tried the new drink, the one with a good design and a unique name?"
Franka smiled back and did not answer the rhetorical question:
"Have you drunk it?"
Without waiting for Zhou Mingrui and Luo Shan to answer, Franka lowered her voice:
"I recently heard an urban legend that a mysterious vending machine randomly appeared in different places, selling blind boxes of that drink, some of these blind boxes have special effects, allowing people who drink them to obtain the ability to correspond to the name of the drink, and what you can buy in supermarkets and convenience stores are ordinary, normal drinks."
After saying this in one breath, and there was no abnormality in herself, Franka quietly relaxed a little.
Zhou Mingrui looked at Franka, who had gone home and changed into a white T-shirt, loose trousers, and a pair of white shoes, and tied up a ponytail, and smiled:
"I've also seen rumors about this on the Internet."
Franka's gaze fell on Roxanne's face.
Luo Shan bit her lip and said in a tone that deliberately told ghost stories:
"Actually, I have encountered that mysterious vending machine."
Brushing the floor, Zhou Mingrui also looked at her.
Luo Shan laughed:
"I bought a blind box with a drink called 'shaman', but after drinking it, nothing happened and I didn't gain any abilities.
"Seriously, the second time I went to find that vending machine, it was indeed gone and not in its original location......"
Roxanne's voice became extremely low at the last sentence, making the bubbles rolling out of the hot pot seem to freeze for a second.
Zhou Mingrui looked at her without speaking, as if he was assessing whether he was telling a ghost story or telling the truth.
Luo Shan then smiled and said to him:
"Didn't you drink it too? I later saw a similar vending machine in the company lobby, smoked a bunch of them, and gave you a bottle, a bottle, a 'instigator' drink, right?"
"I didn't drink it." Zhou Mingrui laughed, "Someone gave me a pack of dried mushrooms before, saying that it was very good to make drinks and tea, I thought I would give it a try, so I poured the 'instigator' drink into my cup and soaked the dried mushrooms in.
"At that time, I was still thinking that no one in the office should be so disgusting and would drink the contents of other people's cups.
"Now that I think about it, this is a bit strange."
He and Roxanne sang and harmonized, making urban ghost stories more and more real.
Franka didn't look frightened at all, she looked around, and then lowered her voice:
"Since you are so honest, then I will tell the truth, to be honest, I have also encountered that vending machine."
Luo Shan asked very cooperatively:
"What did you draw?"
Franka looked at Zhou Mingrui, pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and showed an obvious smile:
"'Assassin'."
Zhou Mingrui looked at her quietly, waiting for her to continue speaking.
Franka added with a smile:
"I am a fan of "Assassin's Creed", you see, my WeChat name is 'Hidden Sword'."
As she spoke, she picked up her phone, showed the WeChat name to Zhou Mingrui, and then continued:
"I was very satisfied with the name of that bottle of drink, imagining that I would become an assassin, able to complete the 'Leap of Faith' like the real thing, and hide in the shadows so that people could not find ......"
Franka deliberately told all the changes and abilities brought about by the "assassin" magic potion to make Zhou Mingrui believe that she had really drunk the "assassin" drink or knew very well about "assassin" related things.
As she described, her heart beat involuntarily, and her whole body became nervous, feeling like she was about to be kicked out of her dream.
Zhou Mingrui tactically took a sip of iced soy milk and ate a piece of taro.
After putting down his chopsticks, he smiled and said to Franka and Roxanne:
"That's also my dream."
Franka took the opportunity to remind:
"Then you should pay attention, I see that there is a rumor in the relevant rumors that there is a big problem with the follow-up drinks of 'Assassin', well, just like playing game upgrades, after drinking drinks to a certain level, terrible things will happen."
"What terrible thing?" Roxanne asked curiously.
Franka shook her head:
"I don't know.
"I only heard that after the 'Assassin' drink is the 'Instigator' drink, and the problem is after the 'Instigator' drink......"
Her voice became lower and lower.
Zhou Mingrui ended the topic:
"Okay, okay, let's make it up, sooner or later this will become a complete urban ghost story."
"Yes." Franka smiled and said that the previous content was made up by herself on the spot.
The same goes for Roxanne.
The three of them chatted about other things, and they talked until it was completely dark, and they were all very satisfied.
Saying goodbye to Roxanne and Franka, Zhou Mingrui walked to the other side of the street.
The smile on his face gradually settled, and one thought after another appeared in his mind:
"They don't look like they're testing me, they're more like hinting, hinting, reminding me......
"Is there really a big problem with the follow-up of the 'Assassin' drink?
"It may also be because I deliberately chose a crowded and lively occasion, and they didn't find an opportunity to use their abilities to exert influence......
"Then wait and see if there is an accident or attack......
"If you can confirm their purpose or goodwill, you can find an opportunity to have a real conversation later......
"If you can't solve the problem by avoiding it, then face ......"
In the midst of his thoughts, Zhou Mingrui turned into a small road and walked into the shadows.
On the other side, Franka took Roxanne to the nearest shopping mall.
For the next hour, she wanted to stay in a brighter place with more people.
As soon as he left the scope of the "Yizhou Roast Chicken" store and walked more than a dozen steps on the side of the road, Franka suddenly felt dizzy.
The next second, she felt like a deep-sea fish being fished out of the sea, trying her best to breathe but unable to breathe in even a trace of air, and her head and body were strangely inflated, like a fragile balloon being constantly inflated.
She grabbed her neck in pain and wanted to pull the trachea out of the flesh and blood and connect it directly to the air.
Her feet began to weaken, her body fell to the ground, her thoughts froze, and her mirror stand-in lost contact with her.
Is this Tianzun noticing me? Franka flashed such a thought.
Parked in the gray car on the opposite side of the road, Lumi quietly watched Franca's face turn extremely red, watching her lips turn blue, watching her grab her slender neck, and scratching blood stains on the surface of her fair skin.
Luo Shan stood beside her, looking dazed and at a loss.
Lumian in the passenger seat was motionless, still watching quietly.
He saw Franka half-lying on the ground, and saw Franka open his handbag hard, took out the phone he put in it with difficulty, and unlocked the screen.
On the screen is an interface prepared in advance, and along with the mobile phone are cosmetics, multi-sided mirrors and black pouches.
In Lumian's sight, Franka's eyes bulged out, and she tapped the phone screen with her thumb in pain and ferocity.
Then, she completely collapsed and threw her handbag on the ground.
The contents of the handbag rolled out, and the black pouch disappeared eerily.
After a few seconds, Lumian in the opposite car looked at Franka, who was standing up slowly and with empty eyes, and calmly said to himself to Anthony:
"Contacting Zhou Mingrui at night reminds him of the existence of extraordinary power, which will cause him to be kicked out of the dream quickly."
