Chapter 650 Rabbit's Spicy Food Hell
Chapter 650 Rabbit's Spicy Food Hell
Near Shancheng North Station.
The small restaurant was bustling with activity. The proprietress was busy serving customers, bringing them dishes and soup, and didn't even notice a group of young girls dragging suitcases toward a private room.
"Hmm? What would you like to eat?"
Upon seeing someone enter the private room, the proprietress, having finished serving a table of dishes, quickly handed over her work to the shop's auntie and took the order book to the table of guests. Those who came straight to the private room were all regular customers, and she couldn't afford to be neglected.
The composition of this table of guests was a bit strange—a gray wolf orc, two rabbit orcs, and a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner. The gray wolf, who was in the lead, was skillfully selecting items from the menu and turned to greet the proprietress.
"Oh, isn't this Ye Lan? You've been having dinner here again lately?" The proprietress said with a smile, recognizing the gray wolf as the person in question.
"That's right. I'm about to graduate and I'm doing an internship in Chengdu. I brought a few friends back to Chongqing today to have some fun."
"What do you want to eat today?"
"Let me think... Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Fei Yelan was about to instinctively order her usual dishes when she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a few people with her, so she quickly handed the menu to her companions.
Aurora eagerly took the menu, stared at the long list of dishes for a while, and said two dishes she wanted to eat. Xia Youyou stared at the bright red menu for a while and hesitated, finally whispering, "I'll take this non-spicy one," making up a four-dish-and-one-soup meal.
"Actually, the cuisines in Chongqing and Chengdu are quite similar, so I think they're pretty familiar with each other," Xia Taotao said.
"Yes, but what's more famous here is probably the spicy hot pot and snacks, but people don't actually eat spicy food every day. They mostly eat home-style dishes."
Fei Yelan smiled and took a few glasses of plum juice from the beverage machine outside into the private room, handing them to the people at the table.
Xia Youyou sipped her sweet and sour drink, completely unaware of the "home-cooked meals" she was about to face—
When the first plate of spicy chicken was served, Xia Youyou's rabbit ears began to tremble slightly as she looked at the plate full of bright red chilies.
Next came a pot of boiled pork slices covered with a thick layer of red chili oil and peppercorns, followed by boiled fish covered with peppercorns. Xia Youyou's ears began to tremble violently, and she only managed to calm down after the only relatively light dishes, twice-cooked pork and tomato and egg soup.
Even the stir-fried cabbage looked red, and there were so many peppercorns sprinkled on the plate that Xia Youyou couldn't even find a place to put her chopsticks. She had no choice but to bite into a piece of stir-fried cabbage.
Then I successfully bit into a peppercorn, and the numbness made me stick out my tongue.
"It's so numb!"
"I think it's alright. As long as you don't pick up a huge mouthful at once, it's not that strong."
The gray wolf girl said with a smile, her chopsticks moving rapidly as she precisely picked out diced meat from the spicy chicken.
Xia Youyou's eyes welled up with tears from the spiciness. She bought an iced drink from a street vendor to calm herself down. She gained a completely new understanding of what the people of Chongqing meant by "mildly spicy." She even secretly made up her mind that next time she would definitely choose "mildly spicy" and would never trust any definition of spiciness from the people of Chongqing.
This Sichuan-style lunch ended with a spicy kick, and aside from my tolerance for spiciness, it was indeed quite delicious. The stir-frying skills were top-notch among home-style dishes.
……
After a full meal, it's time to get down to business.
"Now that we've filled our stomachs, it's time to get to work!" Fei Yelan said to the people around her, standing on a deserted rooftop in the mountain city.
The two bunny sisters nodded, each acquiring their guardian star. A flash of magic appeared, and the magical girls' figures stood on the rooftop.
Fei Yelan didn't mind letting Xia Youyou know that she was Fenrir. According to Xia Taotao, she had already done her homework and explained the pros and cons to Youyou. The latter nodded in agreement. Moreover, Youyou was now completely loyal to her older sister and had turned against her.
You know, she's the kind of loyal rabbit who can say things like "I'll do whatever my sister says," so there's no need to worry.
Meanwhile, the cat and fox pair was kept hidden... Everyone present was well aware of Xin Yuehu's need to conceal his existence as the super villain leader, so it was natural for him to keep it a secret from Xia Youyou.
"...I have a feeling we're starting to resemble some kind of evil organization," Fenrir muttered to himself.
Such villainous organizations are common in superhero movies. They often have superiors who know their subordinates, and the subordinates secretly develop their own subordinates. The entire organizational structure is intricate and complex, but there is always a super boss whose true identity is known only to the organization's top core.
"Now let's plan our action."
Fenrir turned around and casually unfolded a magical light screen, displaying a rough map of the entire mountain city.
"Let's think about which places might be the entrances that Qiu Gui and the others could open, and then investigate them carefully. This way, we can reduce the time wasted running around like headless flies."
"Bunny, what do you think?"
"I think we need to contact Cat and Fox first. No matter how fast we go, we still need Fox's magic to get in and carry out the rescue. Otherwise, it will all be for nothing."
Cheshire Rabbit shrugged in response, switching into intelligence rabbit mode. Her slender fingertips traced several magical marks on the map, highlighting some seemingly unrelated locations in red.
"But based on my perception of the magic of the mental world, these locations are the most likely to become entrances to the mental world."
"Hmm? You also understand the world of mental images?" Fenrir was quite surprised.
Aside from the enigmatic Heart Moon Fox, the villains' magical abilities are all incredibly weak. Their ability to overpower the Hyacinth Squad in fights relies entirely on a single powerful brick. In terms of magic, perhaps only the Primal Alice is slightly stronger.
Could that black Jack be called a heterochromatic Alice? A very trendy idea suddenly popped into the gray wolf girl's head.
"I don't understand. I just noticed a few relatively concentrated points of magical energy in the mountain city when I was looking out from the rooftop." Cheshire Rabbit said this very calmly, in a Versailles-like manner, which instantly silenced Grey Wolf.
After switching to the intelligence rabbit mode, the rabbit quickly finalized the plan for decentralized searching and assigned tasks to different people, all in order to find the mental image entry point as soon as possible.
But after staring intently at the landmarks flashing red dots on the map for a long time, Meng Donghua hesitated for a moment, then said softly:
"I feel... these places don't seem very likely..."
"Look, here, here, and here—Jiefangbei, Hongyadong, and Chaotianmen—these are all densely populated tourist attractions and residential areas. Wouldn't it be too dangerous to unleash such powerful magic as the 'Mind World' in these places?"
"That makes sense, but they've only opened an entrance. The true nature of the mental world is hidden in a sub-plane. The principles are quite complex, but it won't have much impact on the present world."
"It's like digging a rabbit hole in the ground; you can't expect the hole to collapse the ground entirely." "I see!"
Cheshire Rabbit patiently explained, and Meng Donghua suddenly understood, quickly pulling out her notebook and taking notes.
Before the latter could ask any more questions, a loud phone call suddenly landed on Fenrir's Scripture Stone.
The contact person is listed as "Xin Yuehu".
"Hey? Fox, have you found the entrance yet?" Gray Wolf asked curiously as he answered the phone.
But instead of the expected "We found it, come quick!", they were met with Hellcat's slightly serious tone:
"We couldn't find the entrance, but we've run into a little trouble here."
"Get to Chaotianmen immediately! A strange, menacing figure has appeared! We must evacuate them as soon as possible!"
