Enforcer's Handbook

"There are some inconspicuous fast-food restaurants on the streets of District D. You can taste food in them that you can't taste outside the prison. But don't cause trouble in the shops, otherwise you will pay a heavy price."

This sentence is widely circulated in District D.

The judge in each block will open corresponding shops in the area based on his personal preferences. The people responsible for looking after the shops are often the judge's cronies.

At this moment, Lu Xiang and the "Emperor" followed the address sent by Song Lan and arrived at this inconspicuous fast food restaurant. They stared at the hamburger sign at the door of the restaurant, so that customers could know what kind of restaurant this was. fast food restaurant.

Devin Horner followed behind the two.

The passage back to Area B has been sealed. If a "black household" like her doesn't follow the "Emperor" all the time, she may become the prisoner's plaything in the blink of an eye. Even Area C has no room for her.

Her eyes were slightly red, the events of the past few days were driving her crazy.

It was clear that he would be able to apply for transfer to Area A in a short time, but due to an unforeseen disaster, he was coerced into becoming a hostage by the prisoners in Area D. These people who were sent here due to factional struggles are different from other prisoners in that they do not have that near-eternal life. Life, if injured, will bleed, and if not treated in time, you will die soon.

Areas C and D are simply not the places she should come.

After entering the door, the aroma from the restaurant calmed down Horna's nervous mood a little. What greeted them was a sumptuous lunch, which was so rich that it was not something that a fast food restaurant that mainly focused on burgers could provide.

In addition to the signature three-piece set of French fries, fried fish, and burgers, the large plate also contains a large number of potato-based dishes.

She couldn't name the dishes, and they weren't mentioned on the menu on the restaurant's electronic screen.

Devin Horner saw the companions of the "Emperor" here, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed. None of these people looked like powerful helpers.

There was a little girl who looked like a junior high school student, and a young man who was slowly walking toward them from the kitchen with a dinner plate.

When she thought of the ferocious and abstract figures of the prisoners in Area D, deep despair surged into her heart.

students, chefs, and a counterintelligence agent.

There are too many idlers in this team, and all the pressure of the battle is concentrated on the "Emperor" alone.

"Oh, you came just in time!"

When he saw a few people coming in, RT6's eyes lit up, "Hurry up and take out all my iced drinks!"

Of course, good food must be paired with good drinks to be complete, but the "Emperor" looked stiff and did not take any action, and the atmosphere in the restaurant became awkward.

"What's wrong with you?"

Faced with RT6's questioning, the "Emperor" remained silent and just gently opened a corner of his coat.

There was a shocking penetrating wound on his chest.

For the modified person, this kind of injury is nothing, but the bad thing is that this is the location of the portable refrigerator. While the anglerfish's sneak attack penetrated his chest, it also destroyed RT6's stored in the refrigerator before setting off. The inventory was in shambles.

Looking at the already gray RT6, "Emperor" tried to say something, "Sorry, when I returned to the player tunnel, I tried to save it, but it failed."

"...There's not even one bottle left?"

"There's not a bottle left."

"Ancho! Anchovy! Fish!"

This angry roar made the afternoon no longer peaceful, and what made RT6 even more angry was that the anglerfish had already belched its fart. You can't take revenge on a dead person.

"It's decided, I'm going to turn this place into a temporary modification warehouse. The first priority is to repair the refrigerator!"

Devin Horner didn't dare to say anything.

She didn't know why the group of people were in a worrying situation, but these people could discuss the refrigerator and drinks as if nothing had happened. Even though the meal on the table was incredibly rich, she had not been able to taste these "human creatures" in prison for a long time. ", but when I think about my future, I lose my appetite.

Moreover, these people spoke as if no one was listening. Fortunately, there were not many people in this store, otherwise they would easily become the target of public criticism.

She looked around and then made an even stranger discovery.

Not only were there no other customers in the restaurant, but even the owner didn't know where he was. The person who served them the food didn't look like the chef or the owner of the restaurant.

"Where's the owner of this store?"

Lu Xiang asked Dewen Horna's doubts.

Lu Xiang knew Song Lan very well. From the first moment she walked into the restaurant, she noticed that something was not right about the atmosphere here.

News of Angler's death had spread on their way here, and the judge's minions were desperately trying to trace the whereabouts of the murderer. However, Song Lan was so leisurely with RT6 that he specially prepared such a table of meals before they came.

"Boss? The boss is here. He is a little tired today and is resting in the kitchen."

Song Lan gave full play to her ability to make friends, and became familiar with the restaurant owner as soon as she went back and forth. The two had a good conversation, and the boss agreed to lend him the kitchen.

"Has it been taken care of?"

"Clean."

Devin Horner listened to the conversation between the two, but for some reason, this calm conversation full of daily atmosphere made her shudder. When she thought about it carefully, she found that the topic suddenly changed from where her boss was. The transition to the handling of ingredients is a bit abrupt.

She looked down at the stew that was exuding an alluring smell and asked in a low voice, "You were referring to beef, right?"

This restaurant is a beef burger restaurant, so it makes sense that the back kitchen stocks a lot of beef.

It is said that the judge of the Arena bought many restaurants for his precious pets, and also hired several chefs with good cooking skills from Area B to help him look after the shops. The themes were of course related to meat, all for the sake of satisfaction. His precious pet's appetite.

Devin Horner picked up the fork. She had already thought about it. As long as the two of them gave her a positive answer, she would temporarily put her troubles behind and enjoy a long-lost meal.

But the way the two looked at her made Dewen fall into even greater panic.

After the deathly silence, her teeth began to chatter, "...it's beef, right?"

"There is no problem with the beef. The boss has stocked a lot of good quality beef in the kitchen."

Failure to answer the question directly is almost the same as acquiescence in this context.

Could it be that they were not referring to the ingredients on the plate, but...the boss?

Even other guests who had dined in the restaurant before were included.

Perverted murderer.

Song Lan's image in Diwen's eyes changed. She suddenly remembered a classic screen image created by Kolo Pictures, a murderer who pretended to be just like ordinary people and lived an ordinary and peaceful life on the surface. , but every once in a while, he can't contain his desire to kill.

This seemingly frail young man may have another side that no one knows about.

"Jingle Bell--"

The sound from the door of the restaurant interrupted Devin Horner's thoughts, and the shadow that appeared in front of her eyes made her mood hit the bottom again.

The intruders are all people from the arena, and there are many more than expected.

These people are looking around for the murderer of Angler Fish. His precious pet has been killed, and the judge will definitely not be able to swallow this breath.

Once they know that the owner of the restaurant has been killed, they will probably be treated as criminals immediately.

"Boss, there are customers in the store!"

Just as Devin Horner was panicking, Song Lan suddenly shouted at the kitchen at the top of her lungs, and then the boss, who she thought was dead, walked out of the kitchen. In addition to being in a trance, there were many signs on his body. There were no wounds, and there seemed to be no signs of coercion.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Song Lan was confused, "I told you, the owner of this restaurant is a good friend of mine. We were discussing the recipe of the sauce in the kitchen just now, and I promised to reveal the recipe of my exclusive secret sauce to him. If it were placed in a high-end restaurant in District 2, this recipe should be sold for five figures."

"Yes, we discussed the cooking techniques of beef tater tots in detail."

The boss responded almost reflexively, and then he seemed to realize that his reaction was a bit excessive, so he sullenly faced the inspection team sent by the arena.

Their conversation could be heard clearly even from a considerable distance away.

"We received a report that someone suspected of being a murderer had been in the store."

During the questioning, the patrol team also looked at the restaurant with strange eyes. Logically speaking, three waves of people had come before them, but there was not even the slightest sign of a battle left in the restaurant.

And a familiar face appeared in the store.

——The famous "strongest reformer" "Emperor", a new toy that is loved by the boss.

However, they don't want to have too much interaction with this star player unless necessary. The boss doesn't like others to interfere with his fun. Coupled with his moody personality, if they make the boss unhappy, they may be sent directly to Area C experiences the life of a slave.

"Sorry, I made a mistake. Someone has come to the store before and I have clarified the misunderstanding with them."

"Misunderstanding? You should know how much the boss values ​​angler fish, right?"

"Of course, it's really a misunderstanding."

The restaurant owner quickly explained, "Your colleagues went west after leaving. I don't know if something happened there."

"You'd better not lie to us."

The inspection team circled the restaurant again, and after confirming that nothing unusual was found, they hurriedly left the restaurant.

Looking at the shadows' retreating figures, the restaurant owner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His brain at the moment could be described as a mess. He didn't understand why the terrible monster spared his life after learning that he secretly reported it to the arena, and even patted his shoulder in a very friendly manner in the kitchen. , praising him as a very wise man and hoping that he can carry it out in the future.

When the restaurant owner returned to the kitchen, the suffocating fear pounced on him again.

He was originally just an ordinary prisoner in Area B, not a real ruthless character at all. Suddenly one day, a group of people claiming to be the judge's cronies broke into Area B and arrested many people, including him.

The judge gave him a shop and hoped that he could make food that would satisfy the customers. Those who boasted about Haikou but could not match their cooking skills would become the food of the customers.

The first customer in the restaurant was the angler fish. He tried his best to avoid the fate of being eaten.

This was the kitchen he was most familiar with, but the mottled ink on the walls made him feel extremely unfamiliar.

He couldn't even confirm whether the substances splashed on the wall like ink were the remains of the patrol team members, because this was the first time he had seen the dead prisoners in Area D.

In theory, they believe in a common master.

Under the guidance of their master, they abandoned their bodies and became pure consciousness. In return, the master promised them eternal life.

They cannot be eliminated. Even if they become like candles in the wind, their spirits will not completely dissipate. Because of this, those who lost everything in the gladiatorial fight were just driven to Area C as slaves. Even the judge seemed I don’t know how to destroy a pure consciousness.

But just now, he became a witness.

Everything stemmed from the fact that the first patrol team members who arrived did not listen to Song Lan's advice.

The monster seemed to be a reasonable person. From the beginning, he agreed with the patrol team to take away the little girl who was traveling with him. He also told them emotionally and rationally that he had made an appointment with a friend. If he had to go back to the arena, If he reports for duty, he will go there in person after finishing lunch with his friends and will never break his promise.

You would be hard-pressed to find anyone in District D more polite than him, but his politeness was clearly in the wrong place.

When the inspector put a contemptuous smile on his face and put his hand on the young man's shoulder, no one realized what was going to happen next.

In fact, even the restaurant owner failed to see the complete process.

For a moment, the whole world's time seemed to jump backwards. When he came back to his senses, the laughter could no longer be heard.

The patrol team also lost its trace, replaced by these "stains" blooming on the wall like ink.

The three patrol teams that disappeared are all here.

In addition to fear, he had just persuaded a few people to leave for the good of the other party, otherwise they would become the ink used to decorate the walls like the previous three waves of patrol members.

The restaurant owner picked up the powerful cleaner and wiped it on the wall with a rag according to the method taught to him by Song Lan.

The ink gradually fades away, and the last mark left by the conscious body also disappears little by little.

He still has a lot of work to do.

Clean the kitchen. As a chef, you must always ensure that the food assembly line is clean. This is a concept that was instilled in him by the young man.

At this moment, Devine Horner, who had no idea about anything, finally smiled.

The pale cheeks gradually turned red.

She picked up a piece of juicy beef with her fork, brought it to her mouth and blew on it a few times.

It seems that she is overthinking.

Isn’t the restaurant owner living a good life?

"Sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

Before enjoying the food, she sincerely apologized to Song Lan, "I almost thought you were a perverted murderer just now."

Small theater its three hundred and twenty-four:

Tuesday, a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, in the evening

Lu Xiang fled the office of the chairman of the review committee as if fleeing.

This was one of the rare times when she made a lot of preparations in advance, only to be defeated in the end.

Back on the hovercar, she was about to bury her head in her chest like an ostrich.

Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang, what went wrong?

Why has your mind fallen to such an extent?

A blush crept onto her cheeks, and she asked herself again and again.

Could it be because she was cracking down on bad websites, or was it because she personally inspected the pirated discs when confiscating them so that she could accurately convict them?

Well, this was a work requirement, and it was definitely not her interest.

"Lao Lu, are you okay?"

Song Lan was very worried.

"What should I do? I think there's something wrong with my mind."

"what is the problem?"

"It's just... I occasionally hear other people's words wrongly recently and think of that kind of thing."

It's rare to see Lu Xiang feel ashamed. She lowered her head and said, "How do you usually overcome it?"

Although Song Lan admitted that Lu Xiang looked cute now, this question touched on his knowledge blind spot, because his thinking was pure and firm, and problems rarely occurred.

"Research shows that human thoughts are often related to the things he has been exposed to recently, so I recommend that you read more other types of things."

"For example?"

"The Brothers Hale."
