There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 316, Folk Classical Percussion Girl

The temperature gradually rises, the earth wakes up, and all things recover in the spring breeze. However, the frequent light beam events around the world are like dark clouds covering this world.

Xiacheng is not only the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Bureau, but also the core area of ​​politics, economy, culture and other fields during the succession of dynasties for thousands of years.

It attracts tourists in an endless stream all year round.

When Lu Yue took the high-speed train into Xiacheng Station, he felt the prosperity and bustle of the city as soon as he got off the train. It didn't look like the city was affected by the resurrection of aliens at all, until he saw several plainclothes extraordinary people patrolling in a low-key manner.
Compared with Taicheng, the security in Xiacheng is obviously tighter.

Especially in areas with high traffic volume.

Walking out of the station, Lu Yue glanced at the time on his phone. He naturally didn't know where the Queen of the Underworld was being held, but Doctor Zhang had already made arrangements in advance. After landing, the headquarters would send someone to meet him.

But now... this commissioner is unexpectedly late.

Lu Yue called the other party and learned that he was delayed due to an emergency. The other party apologized repeatedly on the phone and repeatedly assured that he would arrive in half an hour at most.

Since human life was involved, Lu Yue did not pursue the matter too much.

After hanging up the phone, he decided to find something to eat first.

Not long after, he was strolling down the street and found a beef noodle restaurant.

The small shop was crowded with many local customers.

A little travel tip: Never eat at tourist attractions. Just follow the locals and see where they eat. It may not be that good, but at least you won’t be ripped off.

When Lu Yue walked into the store, his eyes were instantly attracted by a charming woman in a Chinese cheongsam. The woman had an elegant temperament, and her every move revealed a charm of the old times, like a concubine from the last era.

Ah cut!

Lu Yue sneezed and felt his nose itchy.

He found an empty seat and sat down. Through chatting with other customers, he learned that this person was actually the owner of the beef noodle restaurant. She lost her husband shortly after getting married, and her parents-in-law were seriously ill. The family burden was heavy. In order to support the family, she used up all her savings to open this beef noodle restaurant, and worked diligently from dawn to dusk every day.

A bowl of beef noodles costs only eight yuan.

Her model of small profits but quick turnover has won her the favor of many old customers.

Of course, the most important thing is the boss lady’s store opening model.

This can be seen from the clothes.

And the male customers in the store all come for this reason.

Whenever the proprietress served the noodles herself, the customers would always take the bowls with a smile, their hands inadvertently touching the proprietress's smooth jade-like little hands.

The proprietress never gets angry, but just reminds customers in a soft voice to be careful of the hot bowls, and then asks if they want some fried eggs.

"Fried eggs are good. They are nutritious. I have been lacking nutrition recently and always have no energy. I love to eat the fried eggs that you, the boss lady, personally make. Give me one more portion..."

Inside the store, customers responded one after another.

A bowl of noodles costs less than ten yuan, and with the proprietress’s smiling face, the taste of the beef noodles is actually not important.

This is what is meant by beauty is a feast to the eyes.

Although this method of attracting traffic is somewhat controversial morally, for a lonely woman, it is the best way she can think of to make money without breaking the law. Therefore, Lu Yue did not think there was anything wrong with it.

He ordered a large bowl of beef noodles with extra cilantro as a gesture of support to the widowed proprietress. While she was making the noodles, he turned on his phone and browsed information about the light beam incident from various places.

Although the frequency of the light beams has decreased since then, there have been endless extraordinary people awakened in just a few days. Fortunately, these aliens only occupy the bodies of ordinary people and are still weak. Even so, they have caused considerable pressure on cities where there are no branches of the Demon Suppression Bureau stationed...

After all, they are a group of outliers without moral or legal constraints.

The storm is brewing and the war has already begun.

Lu Yue sighed and looked forward, just in time to see the proprietress busy in the kitchen. At this moment, she was kneading dough, and her two slender hands stirred the flour flexibly, showing the tenacity and charm of an independent woman.

Perhaps it was because the temperature of the gas stove in the kitchen was high, and kneading dough was a physical job, so it was very difficult to knead the dough evenly and smoothly. As the cheongsam proprietress kneaded the dough, her face was covered with fine beads of sweat.

But she didn't stop there.

tick...

A glossy bead of sweat slid down his cheek and dripped into the flour.

Inside the store, a fat customer with bright eyes shouted, "Madam boss, the beef noodles are really delicious. I want another bowl of your freshly kneaded noodles, with the original flavor..."

The cheongsam proprietress turned around and smiled, saying nothing, just kneading the dough.

tick... tick...

Beads of sweat kept dripping from the boss lady's forehead and dripping into the flour.

Ah cut!

Lu Yue sneezed again.

"..."

ding dong...

At this moment, the glass door of the beef noodle restaurant was gently pushed open, and a vibrant and sunny female college student who looked like she had just reached adulthood walked in with a guitar case on her back. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the tempting aroma. After taking a deep breath, her eyes lit up and she directly ordered a large bowl of beef noodles.

"Hello, little brother, there are no seats left in the store. Can I sit next to you?"

The guitar girl asked with a smile.

Lu Yue withdrew his gaze from the proprietress and nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"Thank you, little brother."

The guitar girl put down her backpack after giving a sweet smile.

The guitar backpack instantly took up most of the table.

The guitar girl asked curiously, "Little brother, are you also traveling in Xiacheng?"

Lu Yue nodded casually.

Upon hearing this, the guitar girl shouted excitedly: "Great, how about we go together? This is my first time going out of the house, and there are many things I don't understand."

Lu Yue raised his eyebrows and asked, "First time going out?"

The guitar girl's eyes were as clear as springs. She nodded repeatedly and said, "My parents are both musicians. They have hoped that I would become a musician of folk classical percussion instruments since I was young. They have been imprisoning me and making me live according to their wishes. But I don't like this kind of life. I like food and I want to try all the delicious food in the world, so I ran away secretly. They don't know that this is my first stop. You are the first good person I have met..."

The guitar girl stuck out her tongue, looking playful and cute.

After some conversation, Lu Yue got a preliminary understanding of the situation of this guitar-playing girl who came from a musical family. She was bound by the rules and regulations at home, so she developed a rebellious mentality and chose to run away from home.

She is young and inexperienced, and is full of curiosity and yearning for everything in the outside world.

After all, they have come to a big city, and they are not afraid of meeting bad people.

Because the proprietress was very slow in kneading the noodles, the beef noodles they ordered were delayed in arriving. When the guitar girl saw that Lu Yue was not chatting with her but playing with his phone, she also picked up her own phone and started typing away.

"Oh, I lost again. This game is so hard to pass."

A few minutes later, the guitar girl looked at Lu Yue with a gleam of help in her eyes.

"Little brother, you guys like playing games, you must be really good at it, can you help me pass this level? As long as I pass this level, I can get a gift pack of snacks from the Xiacheng Tourism Department..."

Lu Yue took a quick glance and saw a crudely made strategy game on the screen. The player transformed into a hero and was challenging a fortified city modeled after Xiacheng. A giant BOSS stood on the top of the city.

The small window on the side reminds you that you can receive a snack gift pack if you successfully pass the level.

The guitar girl has no talent for games, she just controls the hero to blindly attack the city. Little does she know that this indestructible city holds a secret. Once the city is attacked, the beacon tower will be activated, attracting small bosses from all directions who will surround and lock the player.

The guitar girl tried many times, and died in a different way each time.

Some were killed by the endless stream of small bosses.

There were also those who failed directly when the time came because they could not break through the city walls.

Of course, there are also those who are trampled to death by the big boss.

"It's simple, just charge money."

Lu Yue was concise and to the point. For this kind of crudely made, advertisement-filled domestically produced mini-game, paying money is the master key. Big bosses, solid walls, and endless mini-bosses are all vulnerable in front of RMB warriors.

However, the guitar girl obviously didn't buy it. She said it was boring, and then she buried her head in studying how to pass this last level.

At this time, the cheongsam lady boss came over with two bowls of steaming beef noodles, smiling: "From your accents, you two must be a couple from other places. This is your first time in my store. I'll give you two fried eggs. If the noodles are not enough, you can get more. If you think the taste is not good, feel free to give me suggestions and I will improve it next time..."

Lu Yue and the guitar girl shook their heads in denial at the same time.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, the guitar girl immersed herself in the game again.

Lu Yue examined the bowl of beef noodles in front of him. The soup was clear, the noodles were chewy, and the aroma was fragrant, which really increased one's appetite.

However, this beautiful feeling was shattered when he remembered the boss lady kneading dough with her sweat.

For people with mysophobia, this is undoubtedly difficult to accept. Of course, there are also a very small number of people who prefer this "original flavor" and think it is a reward.

"Madam, this side is dirty."

The cheongsam lady boss who was about to turn back to make noodles paused, then turned to face Lu Yue and said in a moist, mature and charming voice: "How can it be dirty? I love cleanliness the most. Every ingredient in here was purchased by me personally after getting up early and working late..."

Lu Yue said expressionlessly: "Look, you are unhappy after I gave you some advice."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused dissatisfaction from other customers.

"Young man, what right do you have to say that the noodles are not clean?!"

"We've been eating here for so long, don't we know whether the noodles are dirty or not? We can tell from the looks of it that you're from out of town, so if you can't afford it, stop making a fuss!"

"Humph, young people nowadays are used to eating food with additives, and they even look down on the occasional natural food. They really haven't seen the world. Since you don't want to eat it, then give me this bowl of noodles..."

Everyone denounced Lu Yue and even started to attack him based on their region. The proprietress also interrupted at the right time to try to calm the anger: "Little brother, since you said it was dirty, I will make you another bowl."

Lu Yue was unmoved, and looked the proprietress up and down: "The ingredients are dirty, and the people are dirty too. There is no point in making it again."

"What do you want?"

"What do I want, boss lady, don't you know?"

"How should I know what you want?"

"How come you don't know what I want?"

"..."

"Little brother, are you trying to get my attention on purpose?"

The proprietress smiled coquettishly and twisted her perfect body towards Lu Yue.

Lu Yue rubbed his nose.

"Has anyone ever told you that there's something seductive about a certain part of your body?"

The cheongsam proprietress pretended to be coquettish and said, "What kind of seductiveness?"

Just as she finished her words, there was a loud "bang" and a crackling sound. The proprietress flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, smashed through the wall, and fell headfirst into the noodle barrel.

"Of course... Mei has brains!"

Lu Yue's eyes were as cold as a knife. He could not detect any evil spirit from the proprietress. Obviously, she was not a ghost. However, he keenly smelled a special smell, the same as those ancient people who were resurrected thousands of years ago on Huangquan Road.

The proprietress struggled to climb out of the noodle barrel, her hair disheveled and her body soaked. She stared at Lu Yue with a ferocious face. At this moment, the proprietress transformed from mature and charming into a shrew and pounced on Lu Yue madly.

Lu Yue had a blank expression on his face. He kicked the man into a cripple with one kick. Then he struck him as fast as lightning, directly hitting the man's vital points and killing him with one blow.

[Source Energy +1]

"You...you killed someone...I'm calling the police!!!"

A customer shouted in fear and stood up to escape. However, before he even stepped out of the store, he felt a powerful force locking him down. The next second, a huge fist pierced his abdomen, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I know the rules, I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything, I have parents and children to take care of, please spare my life..."

The other customers begged for mercy in fear.

"Act...keep on acting. You resurrected aliens have been in the real world for a few days and your acting skills have improved. Are you planning to make your debut in a movie next?!!"

Lu Yue directly exposed the true identity of the customer in the store.

Ever since he entered the noodle shop, he felt his nose itching. Ordinary smells could not do this. It was the smell of the noodles that stimulated him.

These noodles are very special, not ordinary high-gluten flour.

And it was precisely because the smell of noodles in the room temporarily disturbed his sense of smell that he almost thought that there was only an obviously abnormal and weird proprietress on the scene.

Seeing their identities exposed, the other aliens no longer disguised themselves, and burst out with their strength, launching an attack in the store. However, for Lu Yue, the combat effectiveness of these aliens below the seventh level of the Divine Hidden Realm was negligible.

In just a few breaths, he had dealt with all these monsters.

Harvested more than a dozen strands of source energy.

At this time, the guitar girl was the only one left standing there.

"What are you still standing there for? Tell your people to come and clean up the store."

Lu Yue urged the guitar girl.

The guitar girl said in horror: "Who... who are you?!!!"

Lu Yue frowned and said, "Aren't you my contact?"

"What contact person?"

Lu Yue: “…”

Lu Yue was about to ask again when the shrill siren of an ambulance suddenly sounded outside the door, indicating that someone from the Demon Suppression Bureau had arrived. Then a series of hurried footsteps approached, and a woman with scars on her body rushed into the store. Her eyes fell on the corpse on the ground, and her face became solemn. Soon she noticed Lu Yue again.

Their eyes met in the air.

Lu Yue instantly confirmed the other party's identity. This was his contact.

In the next few minutes, both sides quickly confirmed each other's identities.

The female commissioner directed her men to quickly surround the scene and start the cleanup work.

Lu Yue followed closely behind and got on the oncoming ambulance.

The injured female commissioner bandaged her wounds while apologetically saying, "Sorry, I'm late. There have been many revived aliens hiding in Xiacheng in recent days. They have been causing trouble frequently. On the way here, we found an alien stronghold and it took some time to clean it up."

Lu Yue looked directly at the female commissioner and found that she was seriously injured.

"These aliens have all awakened recently. Even if the bodies they occupy are of good quality, their strength shouldn't increase so quickly. Why is that?"

The weirdos in the noodle shop had the lowest strength reaching the fourth level of Shenzang, while the cheongsam proprietress had even reached the seventh level of Shenzang.

Just as the female commissioner was about to explain, a subordinate came to report.

"Leader, the preliminary investigation of the scene has been completed. We found a large amount of extraordinary ashes in the store. These ashes were made into noodles..."

The female commissioner nodded, signaling her subordinates to continue to act according to the plan, then turned to Lu Yue and said solemnly: "These underworld creatures can quickly improve their strength by devouring the corpses of extraordinary people, regardless of life or death. So far, dozens of ancient extraordinary tombs have been excavated in Xiacheng..."

Lu Yue was shocked.

He didn't expect that these resurrected monsters would be so cruel.

"The reason they appeared in Xiacheng was because they received an order from the underworld to rescue the Queen of the Underworld before we killed her..."

Before she could finish her words, the female commissioner's cell phone suddenly rang.

After listening to the instructions on the other end of the phone, she looked at Lu Yue and said firmly, "The plan has changed. The ceremony to kill the Queen of the Underworld will be held today. I must send you invited masters to the scene as soon as possible."

Lu Yue naturally had no objection.

However, before leaving, he remembered the figure of the guitar girl.

For some reason, he always had a special feeling towards this guitar girl whom he met for the first time, so he asked the female specialist to investigate her identity. The female specialist readily agreed, and then the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the ambulance drove towards the place where the Queen was sealed.
