Chapter 80 Fire (ask for monthly ticket at the beginning of the month)

"At 10 pm yesterday, a fire broke out in the cinema on the 4th floor of ParknShop Plaza, triggering the alarm system. The fire was relatively small in scale, and thanks to the emergency rescue efforts of firefighters, there were no casualties on the scene.

According to the surveillance footage, the cause of the fire was the improper use of the popcorn machine at the cinema front desk, which caused the temperature to be too high and ignited the surrounding paper tubes. We once again call on the general public to use it in a standardized manner..."

The sizzling sounds of cooking were heard in the kitchen. Zhang Chaoqiang heard this with his sensitive ears. He ignored the spatula and ran out of the kitchen to the living room.
Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, who were sitting leisurely, were undergoing a thorough physical examination.

The two celebrated their kiss anniversary last night at ParknShop.

Although the two of them finished the show and went home before 10 o'clock, the news at that time forced him to take it seriously.

Zhang Chaoqiang turned them over and over, checking the physical condition of the two men. On the surface, there was no abnormality or injury. When he wanted to check on his father Zhang Huolong's body further, he turned his head stiffly and glanced at Lao Chen and Tan Yue who were sitting on the sofa on the side.

Finally he stopped what he was doing.

"Chaoqiang, what are you doing? We are fine!"

Zhang Huolong struggled to get up and quickly straightened his combat uniform.

At this time, Lao Chen spoke up and raised the key point of the question: "Chao Qiang's parents, did you go to ParknShop yesterday?"

"Yeah, luckily I came back early. There was a fire. The ticket seller at the front desk didn't look like a smart guy to me. No wonder he got into trouble..."

In the cinemas of small shopping malls, the front desk is usually responsible for selling tickets and providing food.

For example, frying popcorn, filling Coke, replenishing containers, etc.

Due to the development of the Internet, not many people sell tickets offline now, so in small shopping malls and cinemas with little traffic, one front desk clerk can fully handle the business.

"Then you are lucky that you didn't run into him directly."

Old Chen, who usually has a rosy face, has been in a bit of a downturn these days, but any news can arouse his curiosity and attention, and he starts to talk more.

There is no problem, Zhang Chaoqiang thought to himself, but [Angry Eyes] +1 made him think that the small changes that had taken place in the past few days must be a symbol of something.

Or maybe they are related to each other.

After making sure that Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were in good health, Zhang Chaoqiang continued to follow Lao Chen's instructions and took charge of everything from cooking to making dumplings.

But he had no complaints. He had very few opportunities to cook on weekdays, so he felt at ease eating the food he cooked.

Practice makes perfect. His body moved skillfully while his mind sorted out the changes that had taken place today.

Every change that could increase Numu's experience points was arranged in his mind, and then intertwined with each other to find the commonality and key points of their existence.

The only commonality may be what happened in his life...

It became more and more obvious recently when he observed the unknown bird on Zhang Huolong's arm.

Zhang Chaoqiang had always believed that his father Zhang Huolong might have some dirt in his body.

However, when his parents went to the Extraordinary Administration Bureau to help him get his warrior certificate, nothing happened. Zhang Chaoqiang didn't think that the administrators were just there to eat and do nothing.

For a moment, he still had no clue. Therefore, the only way now was to ask for help from Lao Chen, who made him feel most at ease.

After the soup was cooked and all the dishes were fried, Zhang Chaoqiang called Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei to help serve the dishes and organize the bowls and chopsticks.

After sending the others away, he found Lao Chen. The two of them were on the balcony, enjoying the night breeze. From time to time, the sound of the subwoofer could be heard from downstairs, and the tap sounds of square dancing were particularly clear.

"Grandpa Chen, have you noticed anything different about my parents recently?"

Zhang Chaoqiang asked him, and after careful consideration, Old Chen nodded solemnly and said, "Chaoqiang, don't blame grandpa for telling the truth. I don't think there is any difference between them. They are as stupid as they were before..."

"..."

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Old Chen, who always had a very high emotional intelligence, breathed rapidly through his nose, and quickly shook his palms in front of him, laughing it off.

Zhang Chaoqiang knew that Lao Chen was extremely knowledgeable. After thinking it over again and again, he took out the picture and asked. Lao Chen looked at it for a long time and pondered again:
"This... I seem to have some impression of it, but it doesn't seem to be a demon beast. Instead, I saw a description of an ancient beast in a book called Ancient Scripture, and it has some similar features to the one in your picture."

Lao Chen seemed to be lost in his memories, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember the name of this strange beast or any detailed information.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is at least 80% consistent with my vague memories.

"But where did you get this picture, Super Strong?"

Zhang Chaoqiang did not hide anything and directly claimed that he saw it on Zhang Huolong's right forearm, but Lao Chen had noticed it before. There were only some messy tattoo patterns on that forearm, and a crane that had long faded.

Children are always full of curiosity about mysteries. Whether it is conjecture or imagination, Lao Chen also respects Zhang Chaoqiang.

But when he asked further, Lao Chen said with some regret: "Those ancient scriptures that record ancient beasts and strange ways and skills are all secrets of the Central Kingdom, and even belong to top-notch confidential information in the world.

So, I was lucky enough to have a look at it back then, but I didn’t go into it in depth. Now, I no longer have any access to it.”

The vague loneliness seemed to show that Lao Chen once held an important position, or at least his identity was not simple.

Old Chen seemed a little disappointed with Zhang Chaoqiang's indifference, so he told him directly: "Chaoqiang, maybe I can ask for you, maybe someone will know."

Lao Chen has extraordinary patience. Normally, adults would not be too persistent in answering children's strange questions.

Of course, part of the reason is that Zhang Chaoqiang was not an unreliable person.

"Sorry to trouble you, Grandpa Chen." Zhang Chaoqiang said obediently.

"It's time to eat..." The room was filled with the aroma of steaming food. With Shen Qiangwei's voice, it seemed as if the whole table of sumptuous dishes were made by her.

Shen Qiangwei nodded to Tan Yue: "Xiao Yue, go and ask them to come in for dinner!"

Tan Yue trotted to the balcony, pulled Old Chen's wrinkled hands and Zhang Chaoqiang's clothes into the house, and repeated, "Zhang Chaoqiang, Grandpa Chen is ready to eat."

Zhang Huolong in the house was thinking with Shen Qiangwei that Lao Chen and Zhang Chaoqiang were probably discussing cooking skills again.
