Chapter 757: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Zhou Mingrui got up very early today.
Whatever you think about during the day, you will dream about at night. In his dream, he replayed the experiences of the past few days.
Because of this, he noticed that there were many things wrong with what had happened recently, or rather, these things had been happening since he drank the can of "Assassin" functional drink that could give him super powers.
"Lu Mingfei...Su Yuling..."
When he saw these two people, he would unconsciously have a contradictory feeling of being alert and relaxed, and have an illusion of déjà vu, which did not come from memory but from some mysterious feeling.
Of course, this doesn't mean that I'm interested in those two people.
In fact, Ricardo once gave him this feeling, so the two became good friends.
Before his death, Ricardo said that Su Yuling was in front of him, but later he also verified that Dunn's identity as a policeman was real, so why did Dunn say that Su Yuling was dead?
Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze did not feel any sadness about Ricardo's death.
Huaizhi was also a little different from the girl in his memory. She chose to come back at this time, and she still smelled of cigarettes...
This is not normal.
Zhou Mingrui wrote down the names of the three people on a piece of white paper, and tapped the long table with his index finger: "Maybe I am too suspicious or maybe I really have some mental problems?"
He thought of his last blind date, a female psychologist who had said that she had some mental health problems due to years of working overtime.
The sky was already turning pale. Zhou Mingrui, who was staring out the window in a daze, suddenly smelled the sweet aroma of steamed rice flour, and he came back to his senses from his distracted thoughts.
Master Wei is back to open his business?
As soon as you smell it, you feel as if you are in a rice field, with golden waves rising and falling with the breeze, just like what is described in elementary school textbooks.
hiss--
ha~
The hallucination disappeared, and Zhou Mingrui couldn't wait to put on a coat, then jumped over the windowsill and jumped down from the building.
He landed as lightly as a feather. Fortunately, there were very few students at this time.
"Two red bean paste buns, a cup of sweet soy milk, and a bowl of beef noodles without chopped green onions."
This is his old rule.
The red-haired young man glanced at him and said, "Wait a moment."
Zhou Mingrui was stunned. The familiar feeling came to him again, this time from Master Wei.
what happened
"What else would you like to eat?" Chef Wei asked again, "We don't have sweet tofu pudding this morning, but we do have fresh milk pancakes."
"Please add one more copy." Zhou Mingrui said politely, "Have you finished planning the wedding in Germany?"
It looked like just a chat between neighbors, but in fact it was a test. He felt that there had been some changes in Master Wei in front of him.
"."Master Wei's expression became a little complicated.
Could it be that I stepped on a landmine?
For a moment, all kinds of Qiong Yao-style plots played out in Zhou Mingrui's mind.
"My sister is going to take the college entrance examination, so it was cancelled." said Master Wei.
"Do you need all family members to be present at the wedding?" Zhou Mingrui asked curiously, "A big family that loves each other."
Master Wei picked up the noodles from the pot and said, "After all, she is the bride."
Zhou Mingrui was stunned.
He remembered that Master Wei's sister was a girl with silver hair and red eyes. She said she was in high school, but in fact she looked like a junior high school student.
"It's this day and age, arranged marriages aren't popular anymore, right?" Zhou Mingrui said in disbelief. "Your sister is so young, what kind of beast is this man?"
Master Wei put the noodles in a bowl and added some bamboo shoots and beef. He was silent for a while and said, "It's me."
Zhou Mingrui finished his breakfast and left.
Although Emiya Shirou saw the other party secretly take out his mobile phone and press 110 several times, he did not make the call in the end.
Thank goodness.
"Chef Emiya, you're here too." Huai Shi came downstairs carrying a transparent bag containing yesterday's kitchen waste.
"Sanhua Evaporated Milk. Chicken Soup Paste" Shirou Emiya's focus was originally on Huai Shi's skirt, but when he saw the garbage bag in her hand, he became a little uneasy:
"What are those things?"
"Oh, this." Huaishi held up the bag and said, "I didn't have time to cook yesterday, so I used some technology."
boom!
Emiya Shirou slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "That kind of food has no soul!"
"I can't help it. I think Brother Zhou is quite hungry." Huai Shi coughed twice awkwardly.
"There are no old hens around, only frozen chicken. However, I improved it with alchemical methods, and it tastes definitely better. Sorry, I won't do it again next time."
Huai Shi felt a pang of conscience when facing the Japanese master chef who taught him cooking.
Compared to the Sword Immortal, Huai Shi thinks that the title of Cooking Immortal is more suitable for Shirou Emiya. How about inviting him to participate in the Cooking Demon Competition next time?
"By the way, Huaishi..." Emiya Shirou looked at Huaishi strangely and asked, "Why did you become Huaishi again and wear women's clothes?"
"."
Of course, that’s because I have become a piece of paper now.
Huai Shi thought for a moment, took out a bottle of functional drink, handed it to the other party, and asked, "Chef, don't you think there's something different about me?"
"What's different?" Emiya Shirou took the drink and asked in confusion, "Isn't it the same as usual?"
Gloomy style, dark blue hair, as if he hasn't seen the sun for years, skin so pale that it looks sickly, except that he's wearing women's clothes again today, there's no difference at all, okay?
"." Huai Shi's eyes were dull for a moment.
He came back to his senses and looked at Shirou Emiya who was pulling open the iron ring of the can and was about to drink the energy drink, and suddenly realized a problem.
Why do I feel that Niu Zi’s disappearance can be noticed by others?
The character of Huaizhi Suzi has long been known to everyone. As a mountain ghost and the future Shao Siming, hasn't she always been a transvestite? !
If I didn't tell anyone, who would know that my Niu Niu was missing?!
etc.
Coach, is there something wrong?
Zhou Mingrui returned to the company today and reported to Huang Tao about Taichu Group's current acquisition ideas.
In fact, he didn't understand why Mr. Huang had always been so resistant to being acquired by Taichu Group. The money was enough for him to open a dozen identical companies in another location.
But how does the saying go? Just drive the car and do the job that pays you.
He was just relying on the connections left by David Ricardo to be a tool. No one knew whether he would succeed or not, and it was none of his business.
Fortunately, Mr. Huang was not thinking with his lower body every minute and every second. After learning about what happened to Ricardo, he just asked Zhou Mingrui to do his best and also said some comforting words in a humane way.
"You said the chairman of Taichu Group is a girl?"
"Yeah, still young and pretty."
"I want to discuss business with her in person. Do you have her contact information? If you are tired today, please take a leave. I will go with the idol heir of the Nidhogg Group."
"."
Take back what I said before, this guy's brain has been controlled by my second brother.
When she walked out of the company, as agreed, Lu Mingfei was already waiting for her in a Bugatti Veyron parked on the roadside.
Zhou Mingrui saw the other person from a distance, so he walked over and opened the car door, but to his surprise, the driver turned out to be the little girl Lu Mingze.
"I have a driver's license." Lu Mingze smiled elegantly, as if he knew what Zhou Mingrui was thinking.
Zhou Mingrui nodded awkwardly.
The journey was smooth and Zhou Mingrui did not take the initiative to talk to Lu Mingfei.
Even though the other party was "my idol" and he also liked the music created by this young lady, which was still at the top of the Internet music charts, the two were not that familiar with each other yet.
No wonder he retired and disappeared not long after his debut and saving the entertainment industry of Nidhogg Group.
How could an heir with an immeasurable fortune sing and dance rap for his fans every day?
"Would you like a drink?" Lu Mingfei took out a can of drink.
"Thank you." Zhou Mingrui took the drink, but he didn't drink it, just held it in his hand.
"Do you like playing games?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Play." Zhou Mingrui nodded: "I prefer soul-style games, and occasionally play role-playing games."
Lu Mingfei nodded: "I prefer MOBA."
"So does David Ricardo." Zhou Mingrui replied subconsciously.
He suddenly thought that it might not be a good idea to mention Ricardo's name, and he buried it yesterday.
"Indeed." Lu Mingfei responded directly. She stared at Zhou Mingrui for a long time and said softly:
"I used to have a friend who loved playing Souls-style games, especially the Bloodborne series. He particularly liked playing the role of a hunter and hunting down Outer Gods."
Heroes see the same thing!
But why before?
"He fell asleep."
"Condolences."
"Cough cough."
Lu Mingfei covered his mouth and began to cough dryly, as if he was choking on his own saliva.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Mingrui was confused.
"It's okay." She wiped the corner of her mouth with her sleeve without any grace, raised her head, took a breath, and said with emotion:
"I don't really like playing stand-alone games. Even playing King of Fighters with elementary school students in an arcade is more fun than playing stand-alone games."
"I didn't know why before, but I figured it out in the past two years. It's because I can't find any sense of accomplishment in single-player games."
“Playing single player is like going back to high school. No matter how good your skills are and how little damage you take, no one will notice you.”
When Zhou Mingrui heard the other party talking about these private topics, he tactically wanted to drink some water, but found that the can was not opened.
"Do you agree?" he asked tentatively.
Otherwise, the other person will just be talking to himself and the atmosphere will gradually become awkward.
"Agreed." Lu Mingfei nodded and admitted:
"Games are the easiest and cheapest way to gain recognition from others, so I like to play competitive games, such as CS and Warcraft."
Exactly the same as Ricardo.
Zhou Mingrui recalled that when he and Li Jiatu, a top rich second-generation, went out to play, the places they went most often were not high-end places, but various Internet cafes.
Every time I can get free internet and takeout, and even free Nutri-Express.
"In fact, there are a lot of people who recognize you." Zhou Mingrui wanted to say that the other party also had a large group of private fans online, but he always felt something was weird.
"I was lucky. I suddenly became awesome, inherited a lot of wealth, and found the best partner in the world. But when everyone in the world thinks I'm awesome, I still don't feel a sense of accomplishment."
Lu Mingfei shook his head and said:
"I still like games, but I like more games now. I never get tired of playing games in the room with my partner, even if it's Mario."
If someone had said these words to Zhou Mingrui in a luxury car before, he would definitely think that this person was being pretentious, but looking at the other person's eyes, for a moment, he was actually a little dazed, as if he saw Ricardo sitting in front of him.
"From time to time, the sleeping foul-mouthed keyboard warrior would drink Coke, eat sweets, and rub his controller in the rental house, saying that he had broken the record again, and I would grab the controller to suppress his arrogance."
"The other guy is into everything, but he prefers to watch others play, comment on their operations, and eat cheat meals at will, saying they are really delicious."
"Compared to before, I have made a lot of friends now, and they are all very nice and powerful, but I still feel that we are the only ones who get along well."
"Maybe it's because we're more of a homebody, or maybe we're the kind of people who have no motivation if we don't resist pressure."
Lu Mingfei shrugged and said, "So every time I slap them in the face, I feel more accomplished than anything else."
Zhou Mingrui imagined the scene and found it very relaxing indeed.
"It's a pity that the guy fell asleep and hasn't woken up yet."
It's such a sad thing.
"Miss Lu, can I ask you something?" Zhou Mingrui frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully, "Is your sleeping friend..."
He paused mid-sentence.
Lu Mingfei nodded, motioning for the other party to continue.
"Is this your partner?"
"I bought a watch last year, beep-beep-beep!!!"
Zhou Mingrui never expected that his idol would curse people, and in such a harsh way.
Under the scorching sun, several luxury cars were parked in front of a white building under the shade of trees.
"Hehehe~Girl, smile for me."
The handsome man with a flame mark on his forehead and long black hair smiled warmly:
"How about I give you a smile?"
Zhou Mingrui seemed to have seen this person somewhere before. After some recollection, this person seemed to be Xiao Yan, the chairman of Danmeng Pharmaceutical.
This is not Taichu Group
Lu Mingfei really laughed and threw a can of drink to the other party.
"Thanks." Xiao Yan glanced at the drink in his hand, opened the can and drank it directly.
"The chairman of Taichu Group asked us to gather here." Lu Mingfei pointed at the building and explained to Zhou Mingrui.
Zhou Mingrui glanced inside the building and saw several ambulances parked there.
The metal plaque at the door had four large characters written on it: "Old Hospital".
"Zhou Mingrui?"
A clear, pleasant and relaxing sound was heard.
Zhou Mingrui turned around and saw his tall blind date Audrey, who had smooth blonde hair, standing there.
