Chapter 55 Fight Against Hunger!

A square, high-walled box made entirely of black lacquered wood holds a gourd.

The whole body is reddish-brown, about the size of two fists of an adult. In the sunlight, it exudes a soft gleaming brilliance. It does not need to be carefully identified. As long as you see this gourd, you can judge the age of this gourd. It's quite a long time.

However, to Jason, the longevity of things like that didn't matter at all.

What matters is the taste!

The strong 'food' smell he had smelled before.

When the box is opened, the flavor is even stronger.

It almost came in the face.

It's like steaming steamed buns, the steam that bursts out the moment the cage is opened.

Not only hot, but also with the unique taste of pasta.

However, the gourd in front of him has a 'wine smell'.

In the strong 'food' taste, mixed with a faint smell of wine.

Although the smell is weak, it is very clear.

Jason frowned slightly.

It's not that he doesn't drink.

In fact, in a way, Jason is quite fond of wine.

When I was in my hometown, drinking and making skewers was one of life's great joys.

Next to the street on a summer night, the sun has completely gone down, and when the ground is still a little hot, I moved a small table with one or two friends, sat on the side of the road, and shouted to the boss: '10 meat, 10 tendons , 4 large kidneys, roast an eggplant, two beans, and three boxes of snowflakes, I want ice! Let's make a plate of peanut edamame first! ’

It's such a beautiful feeling.

It's so beautiful that Jason doesn't dare to dream now.

Because he was worried about drinking too much.

Getting drunk is not a good thing.

It's not just a decline in reflexes, confusion, and inability to deal with sudden dangers.

It is also possible to 'tell the truth after drinking'.

Jason has too many secrets.

Every utterance has unpredictable consequences.

Therefore, he really dare not get drunk.

"'Food' smells like alcohol, will you get drunk?"

Jason guessed.

On the other side, Hua Kaiyuanqing was talking about the origin of this gourd.

"This is a gourd made by a craftsman in the early Warring States period by imitating the gourd of a certain monster. It looks like a real gourd, but it is actually made of iron, with a secret method imprinted inside. The enemy's birth date, and on the premise of possessing the opponent's blood, it is a rare item to receive the opponent into the gourd, but unfortunately..."

"What a pity?"

The fascinated girl Sakura asked anxiously.

"It's a pity that the use of this gourd has been lost."

"My ancestors tried a lot of methods, but they couldn't start this gourd."

"It becomes a decoration."

Huakaiyuanqing spread out her hands,

A look of helplessness.

There was also a pity expression on the face of the girl Sakura.

And Jason was heartbroken.

Listening to this gourd, why is it a little familiar?

"It can take in everyone?"

Jason asked.

"Of course not."

"It's just a counterfeit!"

"The highest storage limit is the limit of mortals!"

"However, if that big demon's gourd, it should be able to accommodate everyone, right?"

"Of course, these are all rumors, and I don't know if they are true or not."

Huakaiyuanqing laughed when she said that.

Although he is a member of the "mysterious side", in the heart of this young onmyoji from the Huakaiyuan family, the legends handed down by the family are all dubious.

Because he knew too much about some of the family's practices.

Or……

History is written by the victors.

Every twenty or thirty years, the books in the family are rewritten.

The external argument is to sort, revise, and protect.

Actually?

Ha ha.

So, if you really believe those records, it will really kill people.

"As I said before, this is my apology, please accept it."

Hua Kaiyuanqing took out the gourd and handed it to Jason.

"Um."

Jason nodded and took the gourd.

He has a high probability that the rumors are true.

But it is only a high probability, the final result?

Jason didn't know.

However, Jason knew that Huakaiyuanqing in front of him was a pretty good collaborator.

The cooperation has not yet begun in the true sense, and he has already obtained the 'Blessing Stone', the 'Arrow of Rice Harmony' and this unknown gourd from the other party.

Therefore, Jason's view of the young man in front of him has changed considerably.

Maybe he has the arrogance of a big family, but he is not stingy, and he does what he says.

And next, Hua Kaiyuanqing's words made Jason's favor +1.

"Since all three of our team have gathered."

"Then I'll be the host at night, right?"

Huakaiyuanqing asked.

Saakura girl nodded again and again.

If there is food, Jason will naturally not object.

"I promised His Excellency Jason two banquets before. One of them was after everyone gathered. It happened that everyone was there this time, and I also booked the venue early."

"Your Excellency Jason, do you have anyone you want to bring with you in Saakura?"

"The banquet hall is very large and can allow many people to participate."

Huakaiyuanqing added.

Sakura girl subconsciously wanted to call all her friends.

However, when she thought that she was going to participate in the "King of Fighters-King of Fighters Tournament", she immediately gave up the idea.

After all, she signed a non-disclosure agreement: she was not allowed to take the initiative to tell others about the "inner world".

"No."

Sakura shook his head regretfully.

"I probably have a few friends coming."

Jason said directly.

Whether it is the old monk of Tongshou Temple, He Tai, or Hui Lijing, Ryosuke, and Urashima, they are all people who are familiar with the "inner world", and naturally they do not need to hide.

"OK."

"It's 3pm and I'll send someone to pick you up at 6pm."

After Hua Kaiyuanqing explained the time accurately, she temporarily left the 'Tongshou Temple'.

Shacang did not follow.

Compared with Huakaiyuanqing, Sakura girl prefers to stay with Jason.

When Huakaiyuanqing left, the old monk of Tongshou Temple came out of the hall.

"Soul gourd?"

Looking at the gourd in Jason's hand, the old monk of Tongshou Temple was surprised.

"You know this?"

Jason tossed the gourd in his hand.

"Well, according to records, a craftsman imitated a big demon's gourd to make a prop."

"It is rumored that this gourd hides quite a few secrets."

"However, it's just a rumor. After the method of use was lost, it became a display."

"If it can still be used, it will never appear in the branch of Huakaiyuan."

The old monk said the information he knew, and then turned his head to look at Miss Saakura.

"Hello, I'm Monk Tongshou Temple."

The old monk greeted him kindly.

"I'm Sakura!"

Miss Saakura replied carelessly. Then, she seemed to have thought of the teaching she received on weekdays. Facing an elderly person, she should not be so rude, and immediately bowed again: "First time, please take care of me."

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay."

"You don't need to be so polite."

"Want tea and snacks?"

"I remember there was in the wing."

Facing the polite children, the old monk of Tongshou Temple was very happy.

"Excuse me."

Saakura bowed again.

Jason looked at the two of them, stood up silently, and walked towards the wing on the left.

This is his room in Tongshou Temple.

Consumed a lot of satiety.

Now is the time for supplementation.

After closing the door and setting up several [Kayafa Seals], Jason walked to the bed after confirming that all the places that could be entered and exited were blocked.

Although it is in the Tongshou Temple, Jason will not lose the habits that he should have.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Jason took out the 'Blessing Stone' first.

After smelling it, he threw it directly into his mouth.

Slightly sweet, but not rich, when the teeth are hard--

Click!

The entire ‘prayer stone’ cracked.

Inside are... peanuts?

Peanuts wrapped in sweets?

It's not peanuts soaked in vinegar, although it's a bit weird, but it's also delicious.

...

10 points of satiety is not much for Jason right now.

But this kind of satiety that can be obtained without hunting is somewhat unexpected for Jason.

Then, Jason picked up the fragments of the 'Arrow of Rice and Harmony'.

Different from the slightly sweetness of the 'Blessing Stone', the fragments of the 'Arrow of Rice and Harmony' are rich in sweetness.

Like a cream ball.

Moreover, it is the kind that melts in the mouth.

It was as sweet as a mouthful of cream.

"tasty."

Jason commented in his heart.

Sweet, always makes people happy.

Therefore, people unconsciously tend to be sweet.

No matter how bitter life is, when sweetness appears, it will dilute the bitterness.

Remember the bowl of sugar water that my mother made when I was taking medicine when I was a child?

How many people are afraid of getting sick.

But because of this bowl of soup.

The pain just became less scary.

Even, there will be some expectations.

Of course not the pain, but the sugar water.

Sweet, really wonderful.

And what's even more wonderful is the words in front of Jason's eyes.

...

Feeling the sweetness in his mouth that has not yet dissipated, and looking at the text prompt in front of him, the corners of Jason's mouth twitched.

Then, he picked up the 'Soul Harvest Gourd'.

The food is in front of you, and the aroma is more intense.

but!

The smell of wine became clearer.

Although it was mixed with the smell of wine, Jason opened his mouth uncontrollably in the face of the smell of the food.

He wants to taste the taste of this gourd.

At the same time, dishes such as drunken shrimp came to mind involuntarily.

But there was a voice that kept echoing in my heart.

stop!

can not eat!

Not sure about the result, don't try!

Learn to fight hunger!

Don't be controlled!

The sound came from Jason's cautious habit.

Or rather... sanity!

Reason tells Jason that it is dangerous to do so.

But the gourd was getting closer and closer to Jason's mouth.

10 cm, 5 cm, 2 cm.

Jason stopped when his teeth were about to touch the shell of the gourd.

Not that kind of abrupt stop.

But trembling.

Jason's body seemed to be pressing against a mountain, and he was holding a mountain in his hand.

Moreover, these two mountains are also magnetic mountains!

The magnetic mountain with the positive and negative poles facing each other!

The great attraction lies in both.

The distance from where it stopped, once again began to shake.

Then--

Snapped!

Jason gave himself a slap in the face with his empty hand.

The slap is crisp and loud.

However, it didn't work at all.

Jason still wanted to eat.

And... he stuck his tongue out!

The gourd was not far from Jason's mouth.

When the tongue sticks out, it is natural to be able to touch the gourd.

Once you taste the gourd...

Jason's only remaining sanity allowed Jason to understand what the result was.

Maybe he'll have a big meal.

But it's more likely that he fell to the ground drunk.

Of course, this is the best result.

the worst?

Naturally, it's 'tell the truth after drinking'.

no!

Such a thing cannot happen!

Telling himself from the bottom of his heart, Jason pushed his chin with his empty hand.

There is no room for this push.

When the teeth come into contact with the protruding tongue, it's...bitten!

puff!

The tongue fell on the bed, dripping with blood.

Under the stimulation of pain, Jason's eyes were clear for a while.

He was about to let go of the gourd's hand suddenly.

But he held the gourd's hand and didn't listen to the command at all.

Without hesitation, Jason's empty hand was just a smash.

Click!

The bone in the wrist was broken, and the gourd fell straight to the bed.

Then, looking at this gourd, Jason, who lost his tongue and broke his wrist, was still full of yearning from the bottom of his heart.

Boom, boom, boom!

With every beat of his heart, Jason's yearning increased by one point.

And the only remaining reason was expelled by one point.

boom!

Bang bang bang!

Jason raised his hand and slammed it against his left chest.

Continuous, non-stop smashing.

Smashed to the point of being bloody.

Broken bones and tendons.

Broken heart.

Smashed to lifeless.

Death has come.

Then, life emerged.

After waking up, Jason fled the bed like an electric shock, leaning back against the door and gasping for breath.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Jason seemed to have been fished out of the water, and beads of sweat dripped onto the ground.

At this time, Jason was more tired than a real life-and-death battle.

Fighting hunger is never easy.

Jason has quite the right to speak.

After he awakened from his [Predator] talent, he was fighting hunger almost every moment.

Couldn't resist at all from the start.

To the next slightly able to resist.

And as long as you don't start eating, you can resist it most of the time.

What Jason has experienced and paid is absolutely beyond everyone's imagination.

And I just started eating like I just started, can I still resist?

The price just paid is too clear.

However, this is just the beginning.

Jason stood behind the door, and after five minutes, Jason completely calmed down.

Little by little he moved closer to the bed.

As if there was some great danger there.

From the distance of a stride, Jason moved for a full minute.

When he finally got close to the bed, and the throbbing hunger in his heart was about to emerge again, Jason returned to the door again and started breathing heavily.

After ten times in a row, Jason finally calmed down.

But that's just pure approach.

By the time he was able to pick up the gourd, it was already completely dark.

How many times have you tried in between?

Jason can't remember.

All he knew was that he was still successful.

Pulling out a rope tied to the gourd, Jason hung the gourd around his waist, and then pushed out the door.

The flower blooming outside the door has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Jason walking out the door, Hua Kaiyuanqing stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Mr. Jason, what happened?"

"over slept."

Jason answered casually.

Facing such a perfunctory answer, Hua Kaiyuan Qing did not ask any further questions.

He didn't want to destroy the good relationship between the two sides because of some trivialities.

"Oh, shall we go then?"

Huakaiyuanqing asked.

"it is good."

Jason nodded.

"Go! Go!"

"Great meal! Great meal!"

The carefree Shacang has already started to cheer.

The old monk of Tongshou Temple, Ryosuke, and Urashima who went together were also looking forward to it.

Of course, Hui Lijing has also called to inform.

However, just as everyone walked out of Tongshou Temple, a servant of Hua Kaiyuanqing came running in a panic.

"It's not good, Master Hua Kaiyuanqing, your invitation to the 'King of Fighters - The King of Fighters' has been deprived!"
