Volume 1: Die with Unclosed Eyes 18. Scrambled Eggs with Human Meat
"What? I'm almost penniless now, and you still want me to return 32,000 to the landlord? This is the price we agreed on before, and I haven't made any money against my conscience." Lao Niu was a little excited.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're cheating people, but you can't make this money because you can't take it away."
"Boss Yu, if you want your 15%, just tell me clearly. Even if it's difficult now, I won't give you a penny less."
I frowned and said, "Can you please not mention this again? I said no and I definitely won't take it again. If you believe me, return Xiaojing's money to him. I introduced this job to you, and I won't let you suffer any loss. After the New Year, I will introduce you to other work to make up for the loss."
"Boss Yu, I'm from the country, can you please stop making fun of me?" he said pitifully.
"I say, are you out of your mind? Do you think it's fun for me to make fun of you when I have nothing to do? Can you believe what I say?" I said impatiently.
"I believe it, of course I do."
"Okay, if you believe me, go and get the 32,000 yuan now and return it to Xiao Jing. Your other project will start making money immediately. After the New Year, I will definitely introduce two new jobs to you."
"Then, then I'll go back and collect the money?" Looking at him like that, it really hurts more than digging out flesh.
"The prerequisite is that this 32,000 yuan must be money you earned yourself. Don't borrow it from others. Borrowed money is useless."
"Boss Yu, what on earth is going on here? I'm completely confused."
"You'll feel clearer once you return the money." He nodded thoughtfully and prepared to leave. I asked, "Do you know Wang Ding?"
"I know him. He's from my hometown. Most of the work in Sanfen Lane is done by people from our hometown."
"So you know a lot of these people, right?"
"Yes."
"I understand. Return the money quickly. When you feel you're starting to make money, ask about Wang Ding's situation."
"Boss Yu, I'm really getting more and more confused."
"You don't need to understand, just do as I say."
Lao Niu finally left in a strange manner, and when I walked out the door, I suddenly thought of the girl I met on QQ last night. What was her last sentence?
I really wanted to know the answer, so I turned on the computer impatiently after returning home, but she didn't leave me a message. The chat history was only frozen at the last sentence I saw last night.
So I left a message: "Are you there?" Only then did I notice that her profile picture was the kind of pumpkin lantern with an evil smile that Westerners put at the door during Halloween.
But the other person's avatar didn't move for a long time. I waited for a long time and felt a little sleepy. I wanted to close my eyes and take a nap, but I fell asleep unexpectedly.
When I woke up again, my arms were numb and my sleeves were soaked with saliva. I quickly wiped my mouth and saw that it was already 8:30 in the evening. At exactly 8 o'clock, "Somewhere in Me is Unfathomable" left me a message saying "Coming."
I flexed my completely numb hands for another two or three minutes and typed, "Sorry, I just went to eat."
She quickly responded with "What are you eating?"
"Roast Duck."
"The food is good." She made a greedy expression.
"What about you, what did you have for dinner?"
"Human flesh."
I laughed, thinking this girl was quite interesting, and asked, "What does human flesh taste like?"
"I don't know. I fried human flesh and eggs together and ate them. I could only taste the aroma of the eggs."
Seeing that what she said really seemed to be true, I said, "I'm hungry again, and I want to eat human flesh."
"Okay, I can treat you to a meal, as long as you dare to come."
I was about to respond to her question when I suddenly remembered what I hadn't finished, so I asked, "You said yesterday that you wanted to borrow a part of my body. Which part was it?"
"What do you think?"
"How can I guess? I'm not a worm in your stomach."
She didn't give me a clear answer, but just typed a string of "..."
At this point in the conversation, I couldn't help but feel a little bored and said, "I want to go to bed, how about you?"
"Didn't you just say you wanted to eat scrambled eggs with human flesh? Why are you in such a hurry to go to bed? It's not too late to go to bed after you've had scrambled eggs with human flesh at my place."
"Don't be naughty."
"I'm serious with you." After saying that, she showed me a picture. In the picture, there was a big bowl of scrambled eggs with shredded meat, and the background showed that it was a room with extremely luxurious decoration.
Then she added another sentence: "Do you dare to come and eat?"
"I'm in Shanghai," I said.
"I know. I'm from Shanghai too. I only chat with people from the same city."
"Isn't your hometown in hell ?" I deliberately tricked her.
"That's right, hell exists on earth. Without the earth, there would be no hell. Since Shanghai is the earth, there must be hell there. I'm not talking nonsense."
"So you come from this hell." I laughed.
"My home is at 305, Building 4, Yichuan New Village. Don't tell me you don't know me."
"Of course I know Yichuan Road."
"Then I'll wait for you." After saying that, she immediately logged off.
I am in a dilemma. Should I go or not?
It stands to reason that at my age, it’s not too much to enjoy a nightlife occasionally. I also slept for a long time in the afternoon and I’m in good spirits now. There will be no problem staying up all night.
But the question is, who is this woman? Judging from her online name and the fact that she casually invites strangers to her house at night, she can't be a good person. She's definitely a prostitute. Should I have contact with a prostitute? What if I get infected?
After struggling for a long time, my emotions finally overcame my reason. Few men can resist temptation. Although I didn't know what the woman looked like, it had a strange attraction to me. I imagined that this woman was very beautiful and was an unexpected surprise given to me by God.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I finally decided to "go eat a plate of human scrambled eggs."
So I changed my clothes, combed my hair neatly, and was about to go out when my mother suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked, "Where are you going so late?"
"Don't ask about the lives of young people."
"I don't ask, I don't ask. Just have fun and bring more money." I could tell my mother was very happy.
If she knew that I went out just to have a one-night stand, she would definitely hit me on the head with a big broom.
The traditions of the older generation have long been abandoned by their descendants. Girls nowadays don’t take this matter seriously at all. After all, I am a man, and I won’t suffer any loss no matter how I play.
Thinking of this, I walked out with my chest held high. I deliberately didn't bring extra money with me because I was worried that the other party was a scammer, so I kept a backup plan. I took a taxi to Yichuan New Village, found Unit 3, Building 4, and went straight up to the door of Unit 305.
The moment I was about to reach out and knock on the door, my heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to burst out of my chest. Nervousness, excitement, and desire were all mixed together. I took a deep breath, calmed my pounding heart, and just as I was about to raise my hand to knock on the door, someone opened it.
I was stunned when I saw the woman in the room, and all my previous speculations were finally settled.
This woman is really beautiful.
She has snow-white skin, a figure that is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, big eyes with thick and dense eyelashes. Whenever she blinks, her eyes give people a "twinkling" feeling, and her willow-shaped eyebrows and cherry mouth also perfectly interpret the gentle and beautiful characteristics of southern women.
She was wearing a goose yellow dress and had light makeup on her face. She was so beautiful that I couldn't even remember my own name.
It seems that she doesn't dislike me either. A mysterious smile appeared on her beautiful face and she said, "Are you the Kirigakure Ninja?"
This is my online name. I felt like I had lost my soul and could only nod my head without speaking.
"Seeing how you look, come in." She turned and walked into the house, with fragrance everywhere.
After I walked into the room and closed the door, I realized that there was no light on. Then there was a flash of fire, and she lit the two candles on the long Western dining table.
"Come here." She waved at me seductively.
I swallowed and walked towards her with my eyes fixed. She sat on the table, raised her long legs and crossed them up and down. Then she used two fingers to push a plate covered with a silver lid to her side. After opening the lid, she saw a plate full of "scrambled eggs with human flesh".
The beauty chuckled and said, "Since you are here, come and have a taste of my skills in cooking human flesh."
