this is not a joke

Chapter 26 A Pot of Meat (Follow up! Follow up!)
When the mother and son left home this morning, Wei Zhengdong was so worried that he pulled Vian aside and said to him in a low voice: "Your mother was actually quite courageous when she was young, but she gradually became afraid after giving birth to you." This is afraid of that. Now that she is old, you have to protect her well!"

Wei An recalled his father's words in his mind, and seeing Wen Qiong's transformation now, he suddenly had the feeling that he had only met his mother for the first time in his life.

As soon as she said the word "take", Wen Qiong dragged herself and moved to the front of the pork shop calmly, using Wei An's body to block the sight of others, she reached out and grabbed the meat cleaver.

However, the sharp blade of the meat cleaver stuck on the chopping board, and Wen Qiong was weak, so he did not pull it up after a tug.

"Son, I can't carry it." She said softly.

The two quickly changed positions, Wen Qiong was in charge of blocking the view, Wei An reached out and grabbed the handle of the meat cleaver, originally he wanted to pull it hard, but he picked it up lightly.

At the same time, Wei An stared at the handle of the knife for a few seconds without any reaction.

According to the administration, if the item is a prop in the ghost story, after I stare at the item for a few seconds, a prompt will appear above it, telling myself how many energy points can be exchanged to get it.

But staring at the meat cleaver for a while, if there is no reaction, it means that it cannot be exchanged, and it is not a prop.

In other words, it is impossible to use this thing to protect oneself in the ghost story.

Wei An put down the meat cleaver, looked at the various knives displayed in other butcher shops, and whispered to Wen Qiong: "Mom, this knife can't be used, let's look at the other butcher shops when we have a chance. The knife, don't go there for now."

During the process of the mother and son testing the meat cleaver, Jian Hui said to the people present: "This strange talk is to keep us alive for 24 hours. Everyone should be careful. In the next 24 hours, we may encounter all kinds of deadly things." Dangerous. Also, don’t try to leave this vegetable market, you will definitely die if you go out!”

"You... how do you know so much?" the bald man Hao Jiannan asked in surprise.

Jian Hui said: "Because I have experienced it."

The others were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that the participant who came behind was an "veteran" who had experience in strange talks. Immediately, many people showed joy and moved closer to Jian Hui unconsciously.

At this moment, Jian Hui looked at Wei An, and saw that Wei An was also watching him.

In the beginning, Meng Yibo told Wei An that this was the only investigator in the Zhoucheng Administration Bureau, and Jian Hui also saw Wei An's photo with Meng Yibo, and knew that he had experienced two strange talks.

"Being able to enter the ghost story that didn't belong to him should have activated his profession." Jian Hui secretly speculated.

Now this is a C-level strange talk, and it is definitely better to have someone with outstanding ability to help than to fight alone.

Jian Hui's occupation is "Hunter", and the skill he currently possesses is "Tracking", which is good at quickly tracing a certain target after obtaining certain information.

He waved to Wei An.

Wei An walked up to Jian Hui with his mother, smiled and said, "Hello."

Wei An did not reveal Jian Hui's identity, and Jian Hui naturally would not reveal his background.

Jian Hui put his head close to Wei An's ear, lowered his voice and said, "This strange talk is of a very high level. To be honest, I haven't dealt with it before. We'd better act together later."

"Okay." Wei An immediately agreed.

"Have you ever obtained props?" Jian Hui asked.

"Yes." Wei An didn't hide anything.

"Very good, make good use of your props." Jian Hui said: "The raw meat area should be the most dangerous at the moment. Let's find a place to hide first, and master the rules of this strange talk as quickly as possible."

This is his idea. At present, there are some unknown and extremely terrifying dangerous factors hidden in this vegetable market, especially the raw meat area where murders have occurred. Therefore, it is best to find a safe place first, and then understand this strange story as soon as possible. Make a plan.

After all, Wei An had already experienced two strange talks, and Wei An also had this idea, and the two immediately turned their heads to look around.

At this time, a 24-hour countdown appeared on the upper right corner of everyone's eyes, and everyone gathered together, looking a little overwhelmed.

At the beginning, these first-time participants only learned some basic knowledge about ghost stories in the administration, and how to cooperate with each other, because even the administration does not know the form and content of the upcoming ghost stories, so there is no way Give more specific guidance.

The vegetable market I am currently in is called "Zaolukou vegetable market" in the strange talk. No matter the layout or the size of the area, it is different from the Sanchakou vegetable market in the real world.

There was no light inside, and it seemed that the power was cut off. Although it was not dark outside, the sky was overcast, making the vegetable farm extremely dark, and it was difficult to see clearly from a little farther away.

However, the distribution of the vegetable market is the same as that of ordinary vegetable markets. There are fruit and vegetable areas, raw meat areas, aquatic product areas, live poultry areas, comprehensive areas, etc. The raw meat area can be seen at a glance, and there are 12 stalls in total.

Judging from the information that reminded Wen Qiong and other participants to enter the ghost talk, the 11th raw meat stall may be the one where the homicide occurred.

Wei An and Jian Hui looked at the 11th booth at the same time, and at this moment, they suddenly found that hot white gas was coming out of that place.

The heat was very unusual. Just now there was no movement around at all, but when someone observed the stall, the heat rose, as if something had been cooking there.

"Everyone, don't get separated." Jian Hui said to the others.

Immediately, he and Wei An were in front, Wen Qiong followed behind Wei An, and the others closely followed Jian Hui on the other side.

After all, Jian Hui is a person who has experienced strange stories, and he is already a life-saving straw in the minds of these people.

The bald-headed man Hao Jiannan was the closest, almost reaching out to hold Jian Hui's clothes, and the others followed behind, while the woman Qiao Rongrong moved closer to Wen Qiong, probably because of psychological reasons, the two women would instinctively hug each other .

Before everyone approached the 11th booth, a smell of meat wafted over. After smelling it, their tongues became salivary, and both Wei An and Jian Hui couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

"It smells so good!" Hao Jiannan couldn't help saying, he had already swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

Others opened their eyes wide and tiptoed to look in the direction of the aroma. They saw a large aluminum pot with no lid on it next to booth No. 11. Some kind of meat was being boiled in the pot, and the soup was boiling. The aroma is tangy.

"Can't go over!"

Wei An and Jian Hui had this thought at the same time.

The two looked at each other, and Jian Hui said to the others: "It's still early for the countdown to end, let's find a place to wait, everyone, don't get separated, follow me."

After saying that, everyone passed by booth No. 11. Although they all looked back from time to time, they quickly left the raw meat area and came to the live poultry area.

Wei An's nose was still filled with the aroma from the pot of meat just now, and he heard Wen Qiong's stomach growl twice behind him.

Wen Qiong rubbed her stomach, and said in surprise: "Obviously I ate something when I came here, but now I feel very hungry. The pot of meat just now was really delicious, and there may be more than thirteen kinds of condiments in the pot."

Wei An swallowed his saliva again, nodded, and then said, "The meat in that pot may not be animal meat."

At this moment, Jian Hui stopped suddenly, his face slightly surprised.

Wei An followed his gaze, and saw that there was no live poultry in the entire poultry area, whether it was chickens, ducks, geese, etc., all died in the cages, and there was a stench that was completely opposite to the smell of meat just now. coming.
