Chapter 2107 Asking for Double Monthly Tickets on the Last Day!!!
"What's wrong? Is there any trouble?" Mo Du asked with concern when he saw Kai put down the phone.
This is the third day that Kai has been to the Hong Kong Temple. At the beginning, Kai was very happy, after all, Hong Kong food is still delicious, but soon Kai couldn't stand it. Chinese people are basically like this, they can accept new food, but only occasionally, unless it is particularly to their taste, otherwise they will basically get bored after one or two days.
Just like Kai, he can’t accept it anymore.
The roast meat was delicious, but to be honest, after three days in a row, it was a bit unbearable. Hong Kong is located in the subtropics, with a marine climate, abundant rainfall, and an average annual temperature of 22°C. This climatic condition makes local residents prefer light tastes and pursue a fresh, tender and smooth taste. The latter is not a problem, but the former is a bit unbearable for Kai.
He has a strong taste. When he was in the United States, Kai didn't like American food very much, especially their barbecue and fast food, which were too sweet. On the contrary, Mexican food made Kai adapt to it. Hong Kong cuisine is of the same origin as Cantonese cuisine, and the habits and techniques are basically the same. In the process of its formation and development, it was deeply influenced by the evolution and maturity of Cantonese cuisine. The most prominent point is that the formation and development of Hong Kong cuisine is inseparable from the fact that famous chefs from Guangdong, especially Guangzhou and Shunde, moved to Hong Kong. These famous chefs not only brought their unique skills and famous dishes, but also brought a set of mature skills, which promoted the rapid formation and development of Hong Kong cuisine.
Due to Hong Kong's special geographical location and the orientation of urban development, the development of Hong Kong cuisine has been influenced by foreign food culture. The so-called "new Cantonese cuisine" that was popular in Hong Kong in the 20s is a manifestation of this. The so-called "new Cantonese cuisine", also known as "trendy Cantonese cuisine", "Hong Kong-style Cantonese cuisine" or "Hong Kong and Macao Cantonese cuisine", actually refers to the use of foreign raw materials and seasonings or the integration of foreign craftsmanship and techniques based on the flavor characteristics and skills of Cantonese cuisine, or the combination of Chinese and Western, north-south integration in terms of knife shaping, finished product modeling, and utensil selection and matching, so that the finished product makes people feel fresh.
These are all advantages...but wild boars cannot eat fine bran. Kai prefers a taste with heavy oil and salt, which is more inland. For example, Jiangxi cuisine, Hunan cuisine, or Hubei cuisine are very much in line with Kai's taste. Only a part of Sichuan cuisine suits Kai's taste. Kai can eat spicy food, but cannot accept hot and spicy.
The main thing is the numbness. Kai has never liked eating this since he was a child, and the thing he hates the most is Sichuan peppercorns.
In short, some high-end dishes are basically not popular here, such as Japanese and French food. I am not interested in any of them here.
The main point is to be close to the people... Of course, Kai can't stand the so-called civilian meals in the United States, they are too sweet. Whether it is daily barbecue or hamburgers and donuts, he can't stand too sweet. Of course, compared with the past, Kai has made some progress, that is, Kai has changed the habit of eating rice... Although Kai doesn't like this change very much.
In his previous life, Kai had always firmly believed that rice was a must for a meal. Without rice, it was not a meal and he would not be full.
For example, it is OK to eat noodles in the morning or as a midnight snack, but if you ask Kai to eat noodles for lunch or dinner, he will absolutely not accept it because it will make him feel like he has not eaten at all.
But after traveling through time, there was no rice for him to eat, so he could only force himself to eat bread... You know what, he really changed.
Of course, he didn't really like this change, it was just a helpless move.
These days he enjoyed eating rice. He didn't eat rice much in the United States because there were no vegetables. Most of the Chinese food there was weird and didn't suit Kai's taste at all, especially those sweet and sour Chinese food. How could that be paired with rice? There were very few real Chinese restaurants, at least Kai hadn't come across many. Although there were a few authentic ones, it didn't suit Kai's personality to travel so far every time he ate. It was too troublesome.
But if you say Hong Kong food is bad, that’s absolutely bullshit. But if Kai eats too much, he can’t stand it. It’s really not to his taste.
Especially here in the temple, you can only eat takeout.
They themselves don't fire very often.
Plus, there really wasn't much entertainment here, and the only computer was always occupied by Wang Yuan, so it was difficult for Kai to snatch it... They didn't even have a TV, and even if they did, it was only Cantonese programs, and Kai's Cantonese had always been terrible.
Although the phone can access the Internet, Kai had some trouble using smartphones before he traveled through time... He is considered an old-fashioned kind of person, and he is still not used to using the phone to access the Internet.
So Kai is very bored!
"Man...is there any place in this world that is not in trouble now?"
Kai looked at Mordo helplessly. Although he was bored, he was just a little bored. He could bear it. But the problem was that the world was getting more and more chaotic. It was not easy to rebuild the temple nodes. The construction of each temple required countless magics. It was not just a matter of building a house. So even with the help of magic, it would not be fast.
So the chaotic situation continues.
And the time that Gu Yi was away was getting longer and longer.
More demons continued to send their power to the earth, which made Ancient One very busy. Even the elegant demeanor he had always maintained was now replaced by embarrassment and fatigue. The mages were also trying their best to rotate, but this situation could not continue.
The mages have done their best.
Kai strongly suspected that Ger must have guessed this situation, which was why he had not shown up.
He must want to wait until Kamar-Taj's condition gets worse before taking action.
Now it seems that this guy is not a brainless lunatic.
"Is the situation so bad?" The sadness on Mordo's face was visible to the naked eye.
He has been trying his best to rotate, but he still can't stop the situation from getting worse. This feeling is terrible. He used to think that as long as Teacher Gu Yi was there, everything would be fine. But now Gu Yi is exhausted, and the situation still can't be alleviated... This made Mordo realize how bad things are this time.
"Terrible?" At this time, Strange also came over, drinking a bottle of magic potion. Of course, mages know magic potions, this thing is standard, but as the traditional impression, this thing tastes terrible. Generally speaking, unless it is necessary, even mages themselves don't want to drink it. "Terrible is already a compliment. You really should go and see the situation outside. The army in Paris is transporting corpses outside in trucks! They have started cremation!"
Although funeral methods vary from country to country, cremation is not very popular, or it can be said that cremation is not the most mainstream funeral method in the West. France is a country with a long Catholic tradition, and its citizens are accustomed to burial. The reason is simple: Catholics believe in the "Last Judgment", and believers must lie quietly in the "Resurrection Valley" after death, waiting to be sentenced by God to a final destination - heaven or hell. If a person's body is cremated, he will not have the chance to go to the Resurrection Valley, and will lose the opportunity to go to heaven. Obviously, this is not what devout Catholics want. Catholics refuse to be cremated and would rather be directly "buried". Therefore, cremation is still not a common choice for people in France.
Although the government has been promoting cremation.
The advantages of cremation are that it simplifies funeral ceremonies and is more environmentally friendly than burial. Cremation does not require a large amount of land, and the harmful gases produced during the combustion process are relatively small. The cost of cremation is also relatively low, usually 40% cheaper than burial.
Especially in urban areas, where land is more scarce, cremation is more popular.
However, due to religious customs, this promotion has not been very smooth.
But with the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in Paris, large numbers of people died, and Paris was unable to handle it all, so they could only cremate them together.
"Paris? I remember Diana was there. Didn't it work out?"
When Kai came back, he talked to his friends and girlfriend on the phone and learned that Diana was asked by France to solve the problem of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
"There's no reason. With Diana's ability, she should be able to handle it."
There is no need to doubt Diana's abilities. Ordinary monsters can never be Diana's opponents.
Strange threw away the medicine bottle in his hand without saying a word... He had always thought that his predecessors were exaggerating when they said that potions were hard to drink, but he didn't expect it to be true. No wonder they would rather use traditional medicine to solve the problem when they were injured, and were not very willing to use potions.
The taste of this stuff... He even saw his grandmother waving at him. There is actually something so disgusting in the world.
"Yue~Honestly, can't they make this stuff taste better? I almost thought I drank poison!"
Mordo curled his lips. He felt the same way when he drank this stuff for the first time. "Do you think they don't want to? The problem is that they can't do it. Potions are the only substitute for medical spells. Each potion is obtained after countless experiments. There is no room for improvement in the formula and production method... If you change it a little bit, it will fail. So... everyone used to be happy to accept the doctor's treatment. Although it is slower, at least they don't have to test their ability to bear it."
Strange took out a bottle of water... He actually wanted to drink Coke, but after thinking about it, he changed to water. God knows whether he would vomit after drinking the Coke, so water is the safest choice.
"Phew...I can't forget this smell for a whole year."
"I think you'll remember it all your life."
After Kaiden and the others finished their nonsense, he asked his question again.
"Wonder Woman did destroy a gathering of cultists underground, and I heard that she also killed a few demons and the like. But the Paris catacombs are too big, and God knows how many gatherings there are. Anyway, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is still going on, and it's getting more and more violent. Of course, Paris is still okay, at least there are ways to resist that thing. I heard that salt and iron can resist those things. The situation in the UK is even worse, and the plague there has spread! Now the British Isles have been collectively blocked by various countries! Now people say that the Great Plague of London has come again!"
The Great Plague of London was a large-scale infectious disease outbreak that occurred in Britain between 1665 and 1666. More than 8 people died from the plague, equivalent to one-fifth of the population of London at the time. The Great Plague of London was the last major plague outbreak in Britain, after two previous outbreaks in 1636 and 1625, which killed 1599 and 1663 people respectively. The plague outbreak in Britain at the time was believed to have been brought in from the Netherlands, as the area had experienced several plague outbreaks since 1664. The initial source of the disease entering Britain was probably the merchant ships carrying cotton from Amsterdam, which itself was also ravaged by plague from 5 to , killing no less than people.
This time...London encountered something similar.
One fifth of the population... But the problem is that London now has a total of 894.53 million people. It is conceivable what the situation is like in the British Isles now.
The key point is that science seems to have no effect on this plague!
This thing is mutating at an extremely fast rate, and the speed of developing vaccines and special medicines cannot keep up with its mutation rate.
This is not normal.
Kingsman has now dispatched a lot of forces to the British Isles, but it is a drop in the bucket. They haven't even found the culprit yet.
That's pretty dry.
"There are all kinds of cults on the rise now. You can't imagine how chaotic it is. Many messy cult groups have begun to show up in public."
Strange's words caused everyone present to fall silent.
Although Kamar-Taj is very metaphysical, the amazing thing is that these wizards believe in science more than those outside... Yes, it's true. They are not superstitious. Instead, they think that science is a more intuitive way to observe the world.
It sounds counterintuitive, but it's really the case.
After all, they accepted the heliocentric theory and the fact that the earth is round earlier than those outside.
Therefore, they have a negative view on any religion and think that those things are too low.
"Damn it! Why did that lunatic run to Earth? Wouldn't it be better for him to continue killing each other with those rubbish from the Pantheon?"
Kai couldn't help but curse.
Strange asked curiously, "Is that Pantheon really that bad?"
They have never been exposed to the Pantheon, so they will naturally be curious, and even have a certain liking for it. There is no way around it, as everyone has heard of mythological stories and it is inevitable that there will be filters.
"It's ten thousand times worse than you can imagine. Otherwise, they wouldn't have created a madman like the God Slayer. Gol used to be their devout believer. They can force their supporters into this state. Just imagine what kind of people they are."
"Uh, I thought it was a sasaeng fan."
Strange said sheepishly.
"Illegitimate fan?" Modu asked curiously.
Strange was stunned and immediately explained: "Private fans, in Internet slang, refer to fans who invade the private life and work of celebrities. Private fans are a type of fans of celebrities who have extreme behavior and crazy styles. In order to satisfy their own selfish desires, they do not hesitate to harass their favorite celebrities and affect their (and the celebrities' families') private lives. Private fans are proud to violate the privacy of celebrities and know every move of the celebrities' private lives through extreme forms such as peeping, stalking, and secretly taking pictures..."
Modu still looked confused.
Strange immediately said in a way that he could understand: "John Lennon knows, right? He was killed by his own fans."
"Oh, I see!" Mordo really knew John Lennon.
This guy's death was quite a sensation.
"No, those Pantheon guys, let me put it this way. If they return to Earth, I would rather the Earth be destroyed by aliens or other bad things. At least it will be over once and for all, understand."
