Start with a core cabin

Chapter 1658: Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first (what to eat is a problem)

Duanmu Huai's movements were so fast that the crowd didn't have time to react to what was happening. When they came to their senses, Duanmu Huai was already standing in front of them, sheathing his sword. Inspector Oyama and the hot girl Ueda covered their necks and kept coughing.

"Here, what's going on? What happened just now?"

"Are we dreaming?"

"Okay, okay, why rush?"

Facing the frightened crowd, Duanmu Huai seemed very calm.

"That's just a female ghost. No, I'm not sure if it's a female ghost... um..."

"What does this mean, little love you?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's mumbling, Yanaijian asked curiously, while Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"You've been to a haunted house, right? You must have seen the props in the haunted house that are not played by the staff, but moved by mechanisms."

"Ah... I have indeed seen it."

Although most of the ghosts in the haunted house are played by staff, there are also some ghost hands and the like that are automatically triggered when tourists push open the door to scare people. Everyone is very familiar with these props.

but………

"You said... that female ghost was a prop?"

At this time, Police Chief Dashan also came to his senses. He looked at Duanmu Huai, then looked at the dust on the ground with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's just an analogy. It means this thing doesn't feel like a real evil spirit."

"You said that, have you ever seen the real thing?"

“……………………What do you think?”

"……………………"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's question, everyone fell silent.

They don't want to know the answer at all.

"Cuckoo..."

At this moment, a strange sound was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yana holding her stomach embarrassedly and sticking out her tongue.

"No, sorry, I just relaxed and felt hungry..."

"…………………"

As expected of Yanami.

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

Then, he spoke.

No one objected to Duanmu Huai's proposal. After getting up so early in the morning and encountering so many things, everyone was already hungry. Naturally, they couldn't go to the restaurant, but the kitchen was still fine. So everyone simply went to the kitchen and ate here directly. However... when they walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, they were surprised.

The refrigerator is naturally filled with all kinds of food. In addition to common food such as bread and vegetables, the most conspicuous thing is the several fruits that look like mangoes placed at the bottom of the refrigerator.

When they saw the fruit, everyone's faces changed slightly. They naturally remembered the story of the insect eggs that the fat man Miyamoto told last night. According to Miyamoto, these fruits are not fruits at all, but insect eggs. As long as you eat them, the insects will hatch in your body and then come out of your body!

Just imagining this scene makes people tremble all over!

"Let's eat something else..."

In short, everyone was determined not to touch those "insect eggs".

The next thing was simple. We made coffee with the coffee pot in the kitchen, fried eggs with toast, and ham to make a decent breakfast, and then started eating.

But as they were eating... Chitanda was the first to notice something was wrong.

"that………"

Chitanda raised her hands in confusion.

"I've already had breakfast, but I'm still hungry..."

"Eh? I'm surprised you're hungry, Eru."

Hearing what Chitanda said, Yanami and Duanmu Huai were a little surprised, because Chitanda had a typical small stomach, and usually a rice ball was enough for her lunch. If it was said that Yanami was not full, it was common for everyone, but when Chitanda said that she was not full, that was a bit... wait.

"Yanai told you that, right?"

Duanmu Huai had an idea in his mind and looked at Banaijian, who was stunned for a moment.

"What did I say?"

“The story about not being able to eat enough because of being picky about food.”

"what…………!"

Hearing this, everyone present put down their food and showed surprised expressions. Because the ghost story told by Yanaimi was not that scary, they all forgot about it, but now that they think about it, Yanaimi did say that if you are picky about food, you will never be full...

"So, I want to eat green peppers?"

Teacher Gan Xia stared at the green peppers on her plate with a pale face, looking as if she was going to die. Yanaijian tilted his head and looked at her in confusion.

"Is there something wrong with green peppers? I always eat them raw as snacks, ok?"

"Eat it raw?"

At this moment, not only Teacher Gan Xia, but also Chitanda and others changed their expressions.

"Is there a problem? That's how we eat it at home, and the white core of the green pepper is also delicious. Although it's a little bitter, it actually changes the taste and makes it even more delicious."

"Eat the whole thing?"

Even Professor Sato couldn't hold it anymore.

"So, if we want to have enough to eat, we have to not be picky about food?"

"And as of now, it seems that the standard for not being picky about food is Yanami."

Duanmu Huai said this and looked at Chitanda. They both saw the fear in each other's eyes.

The boss is beside me?!

The lower limit of Yanami's recipe is very low!

Do we really have to follow her standards?

“………………In short, there is only one chance.”

The people present were all adults, not children. Even if they were faced with vegetables that they could not accept, they had to bite the bullet and eat them. However, after everyone followed Yanajian and ate a round, they still felt very hungry.

"What's going on? What should we do now?!"

The producer Kuwata complained unhappily, saying that no one had expected that eating a meal would be cursed! Is this still a way to survive?

"We've already eaten everything in the fridge!"

"No, there's one we haven't eaten yet."

Duanmu Huai stared at the refrigerator and spoke silently, and everyone was stunned for a moment, then they reacted and their faces turned pale.

“Wait, wait! You can’t be serious!”

The others were also panicking at this moment. Although the curse of hunger was a bit uncomfortable, it was not unacceptable. The problem was that there was also the strange story of insect eggs!

It would be fine if there was only one of these two weird stories, but now, the two weird stories are mixed together!

In other words, they either eat the eggs and become a breeding ground for the insects, or they starve to death? !

This is not giving me a way out!

"But no one would treat insect eggs as food!"

The composer Kuramae spoke in confusion, while Duanmu Huai and Chitanda looked at each other again without saying anything.

I can still vividly remember Yanami wondering whether to fry or steam the insect eggs yesterday.

"What should we do now?"

Producer Kuwata looked pale.

"You can't really ask us to eat insect eggs! I won't eat them!"

"no solution anymore."

Duanmu Huai sighed silently, then stood up and walked to the refrigerator, took out the eggs and placed them on the stove. Seeing this scene, the others were immediately shocked.

"Wait, classmate Duanmu, do you want to eat?"

Teacher Gan Xia couldn't help but speak up to dissuade him, but Duanmu Huai just shook his head and glanced at Yanaijian.

"Anyway, I'll give it a try."

"???"

Although no one knew what Duanmu Huai was talking about, everyone still stared at him. Then they saw Duanmu Huai boiling water. After the water boiled, he peeled off the skin of the insect egg, revealing the pink flesh inside.

"------"

Seeing this scene, everyone held their breath involuntarily. Although Miyamoto had described the appearance of insect eggs in the ghost story before, it now looked more like a large grapefruit. The only difference was that it was stained with sticky liquid, which looked disgusting.

Duanmu Huai took out the fruit pulp, then drew his sword and cut it open, took a look at it, and then threw it directly into the pot.

Then…………

"Poof———!" A foul odor, like a fart, came out of the pot, causing everyone in the kitchen to retreat in a hurry.

"Ouch, it stinks!"

"Why does it stink so much!"

"Is this thing edible?!"

Others complained, and even Yanai covered his nose and hid far away. Only Duanmu Huai turned a blind eye. He then tried steaming, frying, boiling, and even roasting it, but it didn't work. As soon as the fruit touched the fire, it would immediately emit a thick, disgusting, cesspool-like stench. Although Duanmu Huai turned on the exhaust fan in time, others still complained.

After using it for a while, Duanmu Huai took another fruit and handed it to Yanaijian.

“Do you think this is edible?”

“Woo—————”

Banai stared at the fruit in Duanmu Huai's hand with disdain, and shook his head after a moment.

"No, this is inedible."

"Woo——!"

As soon as Yanaijian finished speaking, he saw the other people behind him immediately covering their mouths with a look of discomfort on their faces.

"Why, why is my stomach so bloated!"

"No, I'm going to vomit! Bathroom, where is the bathroom!"

Looking at the people running to find the restroom, Duanmu Huai also breathed a sigh of relief. He now almost understood the rules of this place. Obviously, these situations were all in accordance with the rules of the ghost stories they told. The problem with Yanami was that her diet had a very low limit, so as long as Yanami thought that the eggs were food, then no matter how much others thought they were inedible, they would only be judged as picky eaters, and then the hunger curse would be triggered.

So, it is important that Yanami thinks that this thing is inedible.

As for the odor caused by roasting the eggs over fire, it was actually a little trick that Duanmu Huai used. When he cut the eggs, he used his own blood-donating blade instead of a kitchen knife. In fact, after being chopped by the knife soaked in ghost blood, the eggs had already rotted and deteriorated. When heated, the taste was naturally sour and refreshing.

Food should be about color, aroma and taste, and taste is the most important. Duanmu Huai didn't believe that with Banaijian's foodie personality, she could eat such a smelly thing.

As it turned out, Duanmu Huai guessed right.

Even Yanami couldn't accept the taste.

And when Yanami subconsciously classified insect eggs as inedible, then insect eggs were no longer food according to the rules, and the problem of being picky about food no longer existed.

Strictly speaking, Duanmu Huai acted out this scene just for Banaijian. After all, it was impossible for other people to think that this thing was edible.

But who can blame Yanami for not being a normal person?

"ah-----!!"

However, at this moment, suddenly, a scream was heard from a distance. Hearing this scream, Duanmu Huai and Yanai Jian, who stayed in the kitchen, were stunned and hurriedly ran towards the direction of the sound. Then they saw Gan Xia and Chitanda hugging each other at the door of the bathroom, trembling and pale, while others stood around and looked around.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Yes, there is someone!"

Teacher Gan Xia hurriedly said that at that time, Yanajian thought that the eggs were not food, and the curse was lifted. As a result, Teacher Gan Xia ate too much and felt uncomfortable in her stomach, so she came to the bathroom. Then after Teacher Gan Xia finished, she came out and started washing her hands, and Chitanda stayed with her. However, at this time, the two saw the toilet door opened from the reflection of the mirror. At first, they thought it was Duanmu Huai or Yanajian who came, and they didn't pay too much attention.

But what they didn't expect was that after the bathroom door was pushed open, a strange man appeared outside!

The two people were so frightened that they screamed, and the man ran away.

Hearing the shouting, others also rushed over, but no one saw the man the two were talking about.

This is……………

Duanmu Huai thought for a moment and looked at the producer Sang Tian.

"Is it the stalker?"

"Hey?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, producer Sang Tian was stunned for a moment and waved his hands quickly.

"Wait, wait a minute, I did tell you that story, but I also told you that the stalker has been arrested by the police! There's no way he's here!"

"It's also impossible for a female ghost to appear here."

Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"I suspect there might be something wrong with this place that could make the stories we tell come true."

"You mean, this is all because of those weird stories we told?"

Inspector Oyama was also a little surprised when he heard this.

"We talked about some weird things, and then some monsters appeared? This is too unbelievable."

"I think the scene before me is incredible enough."

Duanmu Huai snorted.

"Anyway, let's deal with it in this direction first."

Led by Duanmu Huai, everyone returned to the hall again.

"Well, let's first follow this idea... I think everyone still remembers the strange story they told last night."

In response to Duanmu Huai's question, everyone nodded, and Duanmu Huai also took out paper and pen to write down all the strange talks that happened last night.

Sakura Jiahui——Marbles upstairs, table 3 in the restaurant.

Hot girl Ueda——Sarayashiki, a black-haired female ghost.

Fat house Miyamoto——Insect Egg Village.

Inspector Oyama—the child on the slope where the car accident occurred.

Composer Maekura——Snow Woman.

Professor Sato——Atmospheric Biology.

Producer Kuwata——a karaoke stalker.

Yanami——a picky eater.

Chitanda——The river clam repays the favor.

Duanmu Huai——Geraki.

Teacher Gan Xia——Seven people are in front of the emperor.

Mr. Ueno——The Shirayukan of Miya.

The things that have already come true include the marbles upstairs, table 3, the black-haired female ghost, the insect egg village, and the picky child.

If we classify the remaining ghost stories according to their degree of danger...

"The risk of the clam repaying its gratitude should be the lowest."

After hearing Duanmu Huai's analysis, everyone nodded. The ghost story told by Chitanda was not only not scary, but also a little funny.

Of course, it would be more appropriate to call it a fairy tale rather than a horror story.

"Stalkers...although scary, they are not lethal."

At least according to producer Kuwata's account, the victims encountered people peeping outside, or figures standing outside the glass door, or they inexplicably found an extra snack platter when they returned to the box. It is creepy indeed, and it is indeed strange to have someone staring at you all the time, but it is basically not lethal, and in the end they were caught by the police, right?

The same goes for Sarayashiki. A female ghost counting plates, what's the big deal? The people were killed by the crazy official himself, not by the female ghost.

The child on the ramp after the car accident is a random thing and may only happen when driving, but the problem is that everyone doesn’t even have a car at the moment...so we can ignore it for the time being.

As for the Graki mentioned by Duanmu Huai... well, let's exclude it for now.

But the Snow Woman, the Atmospheric Creatures and the Seven Gods are different.

These three are all extremely vicious, and at least some people will die.

Not to mention that we don’t even know which version the Snow Girl is.

After all, everyone talked about several versions of the Snow Girl because of this topic. There are kind Snow Girls and Snow Girls who seduce others. Who knows which version of the Snow Girl will come out.

"No, no, no, it's summer."

Detective Oyama shook his head.

"The Snow Girl only appears in heavy snow. How can it snow in summer?"

"That's not necessarily true..."

As she spoke, Chitanda pointed out the window with some uneasiness.

"It's snowing outside now..."

"………Why?"

Everyone turned around and looked out the window, only to be surprised to find that it was snowing heavily outside since they didn't know when.
