Chapter 35 Jason: Today Is a Good Day!

fragrance!

The aroma belonging to 'food' is wafting from the young man in front of him.

Also, there is more than one scent.

To be precise, from the opponent's arms, wrists, and necks!

The opponent carried several items that could be called 'food'.

Is this the heritage of the big family?

The props that are rare for ordinary people to carry on their bodies?

The four major Onmyoji families are richer than imagined!

Jason nodded as he thought.

"Um."

Not saying more.

To a stranger, Jason's attitude is basically vigilance, vigilance hidden in apathy.

Don't talk to strangers.

In 'The City That Never Sleeps', this is well known.

For Jason, facing a stranger with 'food' in his arms, he needs to be more vigilant.

After all, 'food' is delicious though.

But equally deadly.

However, the young man from the Huakaiyuan family didn't seem to see Jason's indifference and vigilance. After Jason nodded in response, the young man immediately said, "Have you found anything?"

Ryosuke, who looked more professional, was not asked.

He also did not ask the old monk of Tongshou Temple, who should have been asked.

She didn't even look at Hui Lijing.

Just ask Jason...

Ryosuke looked indifferent.

Hui Lijing gritted her teeth angrily.

The old monk of Tongshou Temple shook his head slightly.

Obviously, this is a common problem for young people from large families.

Compare!

The young man of the Huakaiyuan family is now comparing himself with Jason.

In other words, the other party wants to see why Jason can become the heir of Tongshou Temple.

And Jason?

"Have."

A concise answer.

"What is it, please?"

Young people came to be interested and asked.

"Why should I tell you?"

Jason asked back.

The young man was startled.

He looked at Jason in a daze, the development of things seemed to be a little wrong, shouldn't it be frank, and then he found the flaw in his words, laughed after some time, and ran away?

How come it hasn't started yet, and it feels like it's about to end.

This makes young people very unwilling.

After frowning slightly, the young man said.

"How can you tell me?"

As he spoke, the young man pretended to be sincere and looked at Jason.

It is not ashamed to be low and small now.

After a while, he will take it back with interest.

"Do you know alchemy?"

Jason asked a seemingly abrupt question.

"alchemy?"

"Know."

The young man nodded.

Although they belong to the Onmyoji family, they have also learned about alchemy young people overseas, especially some alchemy techniques that are rumored to be able to break through the "taboo of life", which makes people curious.

"Then do you know the most famous words in alchemy?"

Jason continued to ask.

The young man frowned.

There are many famous words in alchemy.

such as—

One is all, all is one.

The other side of the door is not Shambhala.

Nothing is perfect, the world is not perfect, that's why it looks beautiful.

Waiting for words, they are all famous words in alchemy.

However, soon, the young people of Huakaiyuan's family responded.

"Principle of Equivalent Exchange?"

"You mean I want to know what you found, and I have to pay for an item of equal value?"

The young man is not stupid, and he quickly came up with the answer based on the scene in front of him.

Jason didn't deny it.

That in itself was the answer he wanted.

"People have to pay the same price for what they get!"

"This is the principle of equivalent exchange! At that time, we believed that this was the truth of the world - but the real world is not perfect! There is no principle that can explain everything,

The principle of equivalent exchange is the same! "

"But we're happy to do it sometimes."

"Because, most of the time, we don't have a choice."

Jason said.

"very good."

"Then if I want to know what you found, what do I need to pay?"

The young man from Huakaiyuan nodded slightly and asked.

He agreed with Jason's words.

Most of the time, they have no choice.

He also became more and more interested in Jason's discovery.

"A prop on you."

Jason said.

Although there are more than one props on the young man in front of him, Jason also wants them all.

But he knew better that it was impossible.

Don't say yes to all.

Even if it was one of them, Jason was ready to haggle.

Just beyond Jason's expectations, the young man in front of him nodded without hesitation.

"it is good."

"Take a prop on me as a bargaining chip, and you tell me what I found."

The young man nodded happily.

Jason was even more happy and said straight.

"They were murdered."

"The murder happened before the rocket landed."

"And, the killer in this car did not escape."

When he heard Jason's first words, the young man from Huakaiyuan almost burst out laughing.

After so much talking, he thought there was something.

The result is a murder.

The problem is, if you see the scene, any fool will know that it is murder.

However, following Jason's words, the young man from the Huakaiyuan family restrained his smile and his face became serious.

He turned his head to look at the charred car and corpse, his eyes narrowed slightly.

A streak of cold light flashed through the narrow slit of his eyes.

Some information that no one else knows is connected.

On the other hand, Ryosuke turned his head and looked at the charred scene.

The rockets that seemed to have attacked just now were actually aimed at killing people and destroying corpses?

How did Jason find out?

Ryosuke carefully inspected the scorched scene in front of him.

But as before.

He found nothing.

Liang Jie didn't find anything, and so did Hui Lijing.

Hui Lijing, who considers herself an excellent detective, endured the smell of scorched human flesh and scorched rubber. After patrolling the scene several times, she finally gave up.

There was a trace of frustration in the bottom of my heart.

But soon there was hope again.

Is this the power of the 'mysterious side'?

Can I learn this?

Hui Lijing thought like this.

"you sure?"

The young man from the Huakaiyuan asked.

"You can investigate carefully."

"He killed him."

"Then the rockets fell."

Jason pointed directly at the two charred corpses in one of the cars.

Then, without waiting for the other party to ask again, he said, "I will eat at the 'Luminous Cuisine Pavilion'. I believe you will find out before I finish eating."

After finishing speaking, Jason turned around and walked towards the 'Glowing Cooking Pavilion'.

Jason is not worried that the other party will not abide by the agreement.

in front of so many people.

Unless the other party is shameless, he will not disobey what he says.

For a person from a big family, shameless, but it is more uncomfortable than killing them.

Of course, guys like Lothar 11 are the exception.

Can you count on a crap to save face?

As long as he can survive, it is not difficult for a guy like Lothar 11 to take off his pants and run.

"Be careful."

"It's best not to get involved in the affairs of the Huakaiyuan family."

The old monk Tongshou Temple walked side by side with Jason, reminding in a low voice.

"Um."

Jason nodded.

Jason would not refuse a friendly reminder.

Just like in the face of danger, Jason usually chooses to avoid it.

However, that is under normal circumstances.

If this danger is accompanied by 'food'.

Jason is happy to take the plunge.

The old monk of Tongshou Temple looked at Jason's expression and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Really young?

A guy like him is really old!

However, it's getting old.

Anyway, he is also going back to the countryside to retire.

Thinking of the comfortable life after returning to the countryside, the old monk couldn't help laughing.

"Master, everyone, please come here."

The waiter looked at the people who came back and immediately greeted them.

Going through the gate is a gravel road.

The square gray slates were inlaid on the ground ten centimeters apart, and the gaps around them were pebbles the size of thumbs.

The gravel road is not straight, but winding, with a handful of emerald green bamboos in front of him, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard in his ears.

Going forward along the gravel road, after going around two bends, everything becomes clear.

A small stone bridge appeared in front of Jason.

Under the bridge is the sound of running water.

On both sides of the bridge are springs.

The spring water kept flowing out, and after converging under the bridge, it flowed to an unknown place.

A dozen brightly colored koi swayed under the bridge.

When Jason walked in, these koi fishes that jumped out of the water from time to time before, fled around like crazy.

Jason saw it and pouted.

He is not here to eat fish today, so what is he afraid of?

"Your seats are here."

The waiter brought the four of Jason to a corner of the hall of the cooking pavilion. When the bamboo curtains on both sides were lowered, the whole space immediately became private.

"Your all-cow set meal will be here in a while."

"Also, an unexpected surprise will appear."

After leaving such words, the waiter got up and left.

The old monks of Tongshou Temple and Liang Jie sat cross-legged.

Jason was not used to such a sitting position, so he stretched his legs under the table - the table above and a recess below, which could just hang his legs down.

The bottom is covered with a layer of soft padding, and the soles of the feet are very comfortable to step on.

There is also heating, not cold at all.

Hui Lijing also sat like this.

Leaning on Jason's side, with the cover of the table, Hui Lijing stretched the soles of her feet to the fullest, and her toes kept moving. This invigorating feeling made her hum a happy little tune.

"Kneeling is what a lady should have."

Ryosuke seemed a little old-fashioned at this time.

Hui Lijing rolled her eyes at the other party and said unceremoniously.

"Only those who are short are advocating kneeling."

Ryosuke immediately retorted.

However, when he opened his mouth, nothing came out.

Because, Hui Lijing is really taller than him.

He's not even taller than a woman...Although he was deliberately nitpicking, Ryosuke still felt inexplicably pricked.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Ryosuke stood up and walked out as if to escape the embarrassment.

When the bamboo curtain was lifted, Liang Jie looked at Jason calmly.

Ryosuke quickly disappeared behind the curtain with Jason's faint nod.

Jason didn't forget what Ryosuke really wanted to do.

The other party is not here to eat.

very nice!

The old monk of Tongshou Temple probably saw something, and after putting his hands together, he stopped talking.

Hui Lijing?

The female detective who was targeted again is still angry.

Ryosuke who left was ignored at all.

It was not until the three waiters brought up the plate with the beef that Hui Lijing was overwhelmed.

"Beef sashimi!"

The female detective stared at the beef that looked like a snowflake in front of her eyes.

You were not polite, and just picked up the chopsticks.

It really melts in your mouth!

The dip is sweet and sour!

Let the beef have no fishy smell!

It does not require any cooking, this purest food is really unforgettable.

Involuntarily, the female detective closed her eyes in intoxication.

Then--

"One more."

Jason's voice came.

The detective opened her eyes.

The plate full of beef that had been placed in front of Jason was already empty.

Not just Jason's.

And hers.

Obviously she only ate a piece.

Why is there no more?

Hui Lijing looked at Jason angrily.

Jason looked calm.

"not me."

While talking, Jason looked at the old monk of Tongshou Temple.

The old monk was very knowledgeable and handed Jason the plate with beef in front of him.

But soon, the old monk couldn't laugh anymore.

Because, Jason ate too fast.

It was almost the beef that had just been served, and it was gone in a blink of an eye.

With his eyesight, he could only see an afterimage.

This this……

The old monk was stunned.

"If it wasn't for an accident, Jason would have been the winner of the 'Delicious Food' Challenge."

Hui Lijing said lightly.

"Is that the burger eater contest?"

The old monk asked, slightly nervous.

Tongshou Temple is not far from the 'Food One' Street.

He knew very well that the Big Eater was competing.

Everyone who can participate is a terrible guy with a monster stomach.

"Yes."

Under the increasingly nervous gaze of the old monk Tongshou Temple, Hui Lijing nodded seriously.

Immediately, the old monk sweated.

He clenched his wallet tightly in his left sleeve.

The wallet that originally felt thick, suddenly felt thin at this time.

In front of his eyes, there seemed to be banknotes flying away.

Every banknote made such a cry in the wind—

Done! Done!

"It's over!"

After Jason added meat for the tenth time, the old monk closed his eyes.

He finally understood why Jason's reassuring tone was just to make up for Jason when he invited him to dinner.

turn out to be……

Am I being naive?

The old monk sighed in his heart.

Then, when he heard Hui Lijing's words, his heart tightened again.

"Eating too much beef sashimi is also very greasy."

"All-cow meal, there should be barbecue and shabu-shabu, right?"

Hui Lijing asked.

yes!

Beef sashimi is the beginning, followed by barbecue and shabu-shabu!

The old monk sighed, he took out the hand that was clutching the wallet, and slowly put it into the right sleeve.

It's not about money here.

is the card.

It's his pension card.

Gently rubbing the hard surface above, tears appeared in the old monk's eyes.

Why are there so many tears in my eyes?

Because that's what I love about life!

What retirement is not retired.

Aren't they all still alive?

The old monk said to himself, and then, he thought of something and stood up abruptly.

"I'll borrow the phone."

As the old monk said this, he hurried out.

"Hello, the ticket office?"

"Well, yes, I refund the ticket."

"what?"

"Can't you get a full refund?"

"Can only be refunded at half price?"

"Fraud, you are a fraud, it's obviously not past twelve!"

"You should refund the full price!"

"I'm a monk!"

"The monk who enshrines the Bodhisattva is the closest person to the Buddha!"

"How could I lie!"

...

The old monk's voice clearly fell into Jason's ears.

Has it reached its limit?

Jason sighed slightly in his heart.

Then, once again restrained his hunger.

This is not an easy task for Jason.

If you don't start eating, restraint will be restraint.

But once you start eating, you have to restrain yourself.

For Jason, it would have to use ten times, a hundred times more willpower than before.

But at this moment, the young man from Huakaiyuan entered the restaurant.

Although separated by a bamboo curtain, the young man still saw Jason at a glance.

He walked quickly with a solemn expression on his face, and when he came to the outside of the bamboo curtain, he bowed slightly and said straightly—

"I'm disturbing your meal, Your Excellency Jason."

"As an apology, I am willing to entertain your Excellency later."
