Chapter 1,232: On the Dining Table (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!! Please Recommend!!)

"Venom is not dead yet?" Hannibal and Eddie were in a restaurant.

Eddie was still sneaky, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't see that there was something wrong with him.

Why is it a restaurant? This depends on Kai itself. If there is anything else that impressed Kai about Neon besides small movies, it would be the food. Well, just to clarify, Kai has never had Japanese food. In my previous life, there were Japanese restaurants in the city, but no matter which kind they were, they were all expensive. How can he, a small policeman, afford it? In this life, he longed for Chinese food more. After all, in the first few decades of time travel, he had been enduring the poor food of Westerners. As for Japanese food, he was not that concerned.

And, through Chinese food, Kai understood something. If you want to eat authentic local food, it's best to eat locally, just like Chinese food in the United States... Apart from using chopsticks, it's hard for Kai to associate it with Chinese food. What's more important is that the Neon people slaughtered the culprits of the United States, and slaughtered them properly. For example, the sushi god is a typical "you eat what I do, or get out if you don't eat." Kai is not willing to spend money to eat, and he feels that he is inferior to others, so he never goes to those American Japanese restaurants.

But now that I’m in Japan, I have to try everything. After all, Chinese people’s habits have come and gone...

And if you really want to eat authentic food, you can't go to famous local restaurants. It's better to go to those small shops. If the business is good, you can't go wrong.

That's the case with this store. Although the store is not big... well, that's one thing bad about Japanese people. Everything seems petty. But there are many kinds, everything is available, including Japanese food and Western food. There are many choices, and although the service in the store is not exquisite, the attitude is definitely good!

After finishing a piece of crispy seafood tempura, I ordered another piece of eel rice.

Use chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish with red skin. It looks delicious. It tastes pretty good, but it's definitely not as amazing as the ones posted online. Tempura... It's hard to describe in a word, Kai doesn't like fried food, and it's a heavy taste. The tempura sauce tasted a bit sweet, which was not to his liking.

Eddie was a little speechless as he watched Hannibal eating leisurely, without any sign of urgency.

You know, people are being eaten by those monsters every moment.

Of course Kai knows, he just doesn't know. How many neon people die is none of his business?

"Well, temporarily, the venom left some residues on my body, and these residues are still active. It means that the venom is okay for the time being."

Eddie said.

"What do you think we should do now?"

Eddie asked a little anxiously as he saw Hannibal cooking rice.

He actually didn't want to treat Hannibal with this attitude. After all, he really pissed him off... and he didn't know if he would eat him.

But thinking that people were being eaten every moment, and the venom could be killed at any time, he couldn't help it.

"wait!"

"Um?"

Hannibal eats very quickly, but it is pleasing to the eye and does not feel rude at all. Moreover, he eats very cleanly and does not waste anything.

This was a habit Kai had in his previous life, developed when he was a soldier.

"What are you waiting for?" Eddie couldn't help but ask.

Hannibal smiled: "Wait until those parasitic beasts come to catch you."

"What do you mean?" Eddie pointed to his nose with an ugly face: "Are you using me as bait?"

"What else?" Hannibal picked up the green tea with a normal expression. "Don't worry, I will keep you safe."

In fact, Hannibal wouldn't want to do this if he could.

It’s a pity that neon is a magical country with many magical things. For example, they often like to play a set of standards behind closed doors to ensure that they are different from the mainstream, which includes mobile phones and the Internet. In recent years, smartphones have become a general trend, and wireless networks have become popular. Kai's network intelligence collection is very popular in the United States. But when he came to Tokyo, he felt that it was still "barren". In the past two years, Neon has not followed the steps of its American godfather and entered the mobile Internet era, even though it was the first country to fully lay out 3G networks.

Nowadays, except for a few places where WiFi is available in Neon, most people are still accustomed to using 3G on their mobile phones to browse text-based web pages and send text messages, otherwise they use wired networks and computers to access the Internet. Naturally, mobile phones are mainly feature phones, and many young people are still using flip phones, and may even continue to use them for many years.

In this way, it is useless to invade the network and find those monsters directly from various cameras and monitors.

So, I can only use stupid methods.

"What if they don't come?"

"Of course they will come." Hannibal remained calm. "If you don't come, you will do something bad for your friends."

"What's bad?"

"For example, make a big news?" Hannibal suggested.

According to Hannibal's idea, he directly burned the Yingguo Divine Toilet! Then he claimed that it was a parasitic beast that did it!

Those guys will definitely come looking for you.

"Making big news?"

As a reporter, Eddie is very sensitive to the word news.

"I see!"

…

"Why is this happening?"

In a hot spring hotel in Sapporo, Eddie kept refreshing the website and found that all his posts had been deleted!

Didn’t make any waves at all!

Compared to Tokyo, which is bitterly cold but has not yet snowed, Sapporo is already covered in snow. But for Eddie, the way he feels now is worse than in Tokyo!

He knew exactly what this meant!

It means that those monsters have infiltrated every aspect of Japan!

They even began to control public opinion!

Wait, they will definitely find us through the Internet!

Thinking of this, Eddie immediately looked at the hot spring outside the window!

The hot spring at night is very secluded, and the separate hot spring where the two are is even more prominent, looking down at the small stream valley.

Hannibal was lying in the hot spring at this time.

It really looks like a tourist.

I have to say, soaking in the hot spring in the snow... is indeed a different artistic conception. The sound of the gurgling stream not far away, the hot spring brought out bursts of white mist, rising up, and greeted the fluttering snow foam. Except for the streamside, the rest of the place is covered with large areas of silver, and there are yellow and black patches and dark green plant leaves interspersed among them, which is quite wild.

Hannibal put his hands on the edge of the pool, looked up at the deep snowy night, his mind was empty, and he didn't move for a long time.

"Hey..." Eddie felt that Hannibal seemed a little too relaxed.

"Hmm?" Hannibal snorted lazily.

"Is it really okay for us to do this?" Eddie was worried.

Hannibal put a towel into the 45-degree hot spring, wrung it dry, and then covered his face with it.

"Of course there is a problem."

Eddie asked nervously, "What's the problem?"

"My first time taking a hot spring bath was with a man... I even had to book a room with you to protect you... To be honest, now I think of the boss's surprised look, I feel ashamed."

In fact, Hannibal originally planned to book two rooms, but the problem was that Eddie refused to do so.

He was afraid.

He was not afraid of death. After all, as an investigative reporter, and an investigative reporter who specializes in fighting evil forces, he had to be mentally prepared, but being eaten alive... forget it.

"Are you homophobic???"

Although with the changes in the world situation, more and more people are no longer as concerned about the so-called political correctness as before, especially now the American Brother Ni's equal rights organization has been hit hard, not to mention those sexual minority groups.

And with the return of the gods, the influence of major religions has increased again.

Even many conservative religious organizations have begun to claim that the reason why the United States has suffered so much is because the United States has abandoned God's teachings and has begun to degenerate.

Many anti-feminist and anti-gay organizations have also become popular.

Politicians are very realistic. Since people no longer care about those groups, they will naturally not stand up for them.

So the so-called political correctness before has indeed been greatly alleviated.

This may be a good thing.

After all, if it continues to develop like this, the West will sooner or later decline because of the so-called political correctness.

After all, they have been obsessed.

Hannibal took off the towel and looked at Eddie.

There was doubt, secrets, and a hint of contempt in his eyes, but it was more like looking at an idiot.

"Uh... Sorry... I'm used to it. I'm used to it."

After all, as a reporter, I like to catch explosive news. What kind of news has explosive points will naturally cause controversy. News is not afraid of controversy, but it is afraid of no controversy. If superheroes are exposed, homophobia and homophobia will definitely be a big news.

Those so-called equal rights organizations will definitely be as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Even now, it is the same. After all, the atmosphere is not so easy to change. If it is left for a few years, it will probably be better.

"I finally know why so many people hate reporters."

Hannibal picked up the towel and covered his face again.

"Uh..." Eddie was really embarrassed. "Professional habit, professional habit."

"Next time you say such stupid things, I will feed you to my pet directly."

Hannibal's voice was muffled under the towel.

"Ah... that... weren't you sent by Mr. Wayne to protect me?"

"That's right. But even if I kill you, can Kai still avenge you?"

Hannibal said as a matter of course.

Eddie broke out in a cold sweat.

Yes!

Others were wanted criminals!

Would they be afraid of this?

"Sorry! I don't dare!"

Just as the two were talking.

A person was walking in from the small road at the entrance of the hot spring with a slightly slow pace. The visitor was an Asian man, who looked to be in his thirties, wearing an ordinary thick jacket and jeans. There was a hot spring area nearby, and Sapporo was also a Japanese tourist destination. His dress was not very distinctive, so he might not be Japanese, but might be a tourist from other Asian countries.

At this time, a car drove over, and a woman in a kimono got off.

Although the two did not communicate, they both walked into the hot spring hotel at the same time.

Eddie felt goose bumps all over his body, and when he looked down, the hair on his arms stood up!

He knew what this meant.

"A monster is approaching!!!"

Hannibal also took off his towel.

"What should I do?"

"Don't panic, wait." Hannibal still did not move.

After all, the first ones to appear were definitely minor characters.

He wanted to see if there were any big fish.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

It was the waiter, coming to deliver food.

The waiter was fine, the food was fine, but the wine that came with the food was problematic.

There were drugs in it.

Soon, Hannibal and Eddie fell asleep.

Soon a man and a woman in a kimono came in.

They checked Hannibal and the other man and found that they were indeed unconscious.

The woman picked up the phone: "The target has been found, come to Nobi Hot Spring."

The man looked at Eddie and then at Hannibal.

Then he said to the woman: "The higher-ups only said this, right?"

The woman said coldly: "What do you want to do?"

"Then this is our dinner." The man pointed at Hannibal.

The woman hesitated and said: "Tell Ueno yourself, you don't want to make him angry, do you?"

The middle-aged man was dissatisfied: "This is useless! Why do I need his consent to catch the prey myself???"

Seeing his angry look, the woman showed disdain: "Because Ueno is stronger than you, you can't beat him, so you have to listen to him."

The middle-aged man twisted his face, looking very strange, and then returned to normal: "Humph!"

Obviously he was also afraid of Ueno, so even if he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to act on his own.

But the man still made some preparations in advance.

For example, cleaning the dining table.

He dumped the unfinished food into the trash can, then spread a large piece of plastic sheet on the dining table and the ground, and dragged Hannibal to the table.

Obviously ready to eat at any time.

Ten minutes later, two more cars drove to the outside of the hot spring hotel and stopped, and four people got off.

This time, all four were men, old, middle-aged and young, and their clothes were very different. An old man looked like a scavenger. One of the two middle-aged men wore a cheap suit, a typical social animal. The other was a fat otaku who stayed at home and didn't care about his appearance. The last one was a male high school student, with an ordinary appearance and figure, and he was still wearing a school uniform.

The four people went straight to Hannibal's room.

The four men looked at Eddie who was unconscious on the side, and then the male high school student turned his head and nodded to the woman in kimono: "Takako, you did a good job."

The woman named Takako didn't have any expression.

It seems that the male high school student is the leader.

Then they saw Hannibal at the dining table: "Who is this?"

The middle-aged man said: "An unexpected reward, the target is with him."

The kimono girl Takako asked: "Do you want to take him to the leader?"

"No need." The high school student shook his head: "The leader only wants the target."

The middle-aged man immediately laughed: "Then we..."

Except for the woman, everyone else showed their eagerness.

After all, it was late at night.

It's easy to get hungry when you go out to work.

"Well, it's just right... I'm hungry too."

Takako silently handed over a waterproof apron and a neon kitchen knife. The male high school student put on the apron slowly, gently shook the kitchen knife in his hand, and walked towards Hannibal at the dining table, with more and more eagerness and excitement on his face.

"Alas..." Suddenly, Hannibal sat up: "The plan failed."

The five men and one woman in the lounge were all stunned.

"You have really poor patience, can't you send me to your leader too?"
