Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

The footsteps came from far away, and Chen Ye heard a subtle exchange of sounds.

He closed his eyes, concentrated, and found that he could vaguely hear the conversation.

"What a fool, I've been hungry all day, and now I can't even find any food!"

"Stop arguing. I heard the sound of roasted chestnuts being sold in this alley yesterday. Let's see if we can get some food."

"Roasted chestnuts with sugar? We don't have a single copper coin with us. Are you sure you have the money to buy roasted chestnuts with sugar?"

"Last time I heard a hawking sound, it seemed that you could taste it for free. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay."

"But if it's delicious, doesn't it still cost money... I said Zhao Cheng, you won't lead us into a trap, right? The forums say that food in this world cannot be eaten indiscriminately. Will it be harmful if we eat it? Is there something wrong?"

The young man named "Zhao Cheng" became impatient and said with a hot temper:

"What are you talking about?"

"If I hadn't risked my life to grab a coin in exchange for the right to go to Xijiang to fetch water for you guys, you would have died of thirst!"

"If you think there's something wrong, then get out of here and stop being such a sissy here."

The discussion gradually grew louder and almost spread throughout the alley.

No one else dared to speak, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Zhao Cheng walked directly in front of the team with a straight face and a muffled voice.

at this time……

He suddenly smelled the smell of sugar-roasted chestnuts, his eyes brightened slightly, and he said:

"There should be sugar-roasted chestnuts nearby. Look for them quickly and see where they are!"

In the night, a cart used for mobile food stalls slowly appeared from the end of the alley.

"Selling chestnuts, fresh sugar-roasted chestnuts."

That erratic voice suddenly became real, and the aroma of roasted chestnuts became more and more intense...

In the blink of an eye, the old woman selling chestnuts seemed to step out of the fog and suddenly appeared in front of the group of people.

The eyes of Zhao Cheng and others immediately fell directly on the trolley. At that moment, their consciousness seemed a little sluggish, as if they were completely attracted by the smell of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

Gulu! ! !

There was an unsatisfactory growl from my stomach.

At this moment, they felt the hunger in their stomachs became stronger. When they smelled the aroma of roasted chestnuts, they seemed to almost lose the ability to think, leaving only the only thought in their minds...

"I want to eat!"

"I want to eat!"

"I want to eat!"

In the blink of an eye, the trolley stopped right in front of Zhao Cheng and others.

The old woman selling chestnuts smiled and said: "Come and try some fresh sugar-roasted chestnuts, five copper coins per pound. If they are not delicious, there is no charge."

However, the greed in Zhao Cheng's eyes became stronger and stronger, and he even seemed to have lost the ability to think rationally.

He ignored the old woman selling chestnuts and grabbed the scalding hot pot with his bare hands. He seemed not to feel the burn and threw the freshly roasted chestnuts into his mouth.

Immediately afterwards...

The second one, the third one...

As Zhao Cheng chewed the roasted chestnuts in his mouth, they made a sound like bones cracking, as if what he had eaten was not the roasted chestnuts, but pieces of bone fingers.

When several other companions heard the sound of chewing and swallowing, the desire to eat went to their heads again. They immediately gathered around and grabbed the sugar-roasted chestnuts in the pot like crazy, throwing them into their mouths and wolfing them down. , and kept making "bah, bah, bah" sounds from his mouth, like a pig that had been hungry for seven days.

At this time, Chen Ye watched calmly from the side. He observed that the halo of luck above the heads of these people was turning black.

A faint bloody light slowly brewed out, but the bloody light came from the inside out...

Different from the three cute new players I saw at the West Street Cake Shop earlier, their aura comes from the outside in...

After a while, Zhao Cheng burped and gradually stopped swallowing.

As soon as he raised his head, Chen Ye noticed that the corners of the other person's mouth were covered in blood.

Several other people also burped shortly after and seemed to gradually regain consciousness.

The old woman selling chestnuts was always watching with a smile from behind, no matter how they messed up her pot, smashing the sugar-roasted chestnuts in the pot everywhere, and several pieces fell to the ground, covered with dirty Mud...

"Young man, is it delicious?"

The erratic voice came again, echoing around like an echo.

However, it was obviously a concerned greeting, and it was obviously a calm tone, but for some reason, I could feel an extremely cold chill from it, as if it could penetrate into the bone marrow!

"Okay..." Zhao Cheng opened his mouth slightly, subconsciously wanting to say it was delicious.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, sneered, and grabbed another roasted chestnut.

After chewing some in his mouth, he suddenly showed a frown and a disgusted expression, spit out the sugar-roasted chestnuts in his mouth, and said:

"It tastes terrible!"

"Damn it, do you know how to make candied chestnuts?"

"If you don't know how to do it, then don't open a store. It's so unpalatable and makes me sick to death!"

"It tastes so bad that I almost vomited, and I want to charge you for it. It's a good thing if you don't have to pay for it!"

"..."

Zhao Cheng cursed in a vicious tone, the words were extremely unpleasant, and it seemed that the more he cursed, the more excited he became. In the end, he seemed to have lost his mind. Some of the curses were so harsh that he could not even pronounce them, with a sense of hysterical madness.

Several other accomplices couldn't stand listening anymore. A boy with a crew cut couldn't help but stepped forward, pulled Zhao Cheng's clothes and said:

"Brother Cheng... forget it... something will happen to you if you do this!"

"It's weird here..."

"Get lost!" Before the boy with a flat head could finish speaking, Zhao Cheng pushed the other person away roughly and sneered: "Idiot, didn't you read what was said in the forum? Don't be afraid when you get along with others. You guys You coward, look at that useless look, don't follow me if you're afraid of death."

He raised his head and said in a arrogant and unreasonable manner: "Hey, old woman, you seemed to have said that just now, right?"

“It’s not delicious, and it doesn’t cost any money!”

"It tastes so bad now. Our brothers will never be deceived and buy it next time!"

"Don't be disrespectful. If you really don't want to, I have a glass of water ready for you in exchange."

"If you do this forced buying and selling business again, don't blame us for reporting you to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau!"

As he spoke, Zhao Cheng glanced at Chen Ye, and suddenly found that beside the old woman selling chestnuts, there was a young man dressed like a beggar.

It's just that... this young man looks handsome and harmless, but the old woman has difficulty walking. What threat can he pose to himself?

Thinking of this, Zhao Cheng became more confident and firmly believed that he only needed to follow this logic - if it doesn't taste good, it doesn't cost money.

Then you can eat and drink for free!

Although it can only be used once, since we are already so hungry that we can't stand it anymore, let's finish the meal first.

The smile of the old woman selling chestnuts became wider and wider. The corners of her mouth suddenly began to crack, and her facial features gradually became ferocious and distorted.

Zhao Cheng was immediately startled and instinctively wanted to run away...

However.

When he just lowered his head to look, an extremely horrifying scene shot straight to the sky, like a nightmare!

I saw that my legs turned into one leg!

The skin and flesh on the outside gradually began to crack and fall off, turning into a thick layer of blood!

The meat didn't look like injured meat, but rather like the flesh of a dead person, grilled over high-temperature charcoal, and finally stuck together.

The entire lower body seemed to have swollen into a disgusting tumor!

And as the consciousness slowly disappears...

This feeling continues to spread upward, gradually covering from the waist to the arms, and then to the mouth...

Several other accomplices all showed expressions of seeing ghosts and quickly wanted to escape!

But they discovered that, like Zhao Cheng, their bodies had also undergone such shocking changes.

The old woman selling chestnuts finally spoke again. She said with a smile:

"Young man, I told you, if it doesn't taste good, you don't need money."

"But when did you say..."

"You don't want anything else if it doesn't taste good?"
