After graduating, I became the Dragon King

Mona went on to recall that Anthony seemed terrified of the police and hadn't been seen since she called the police.

But as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, some unbelievable things began to happen in the store.

"In the past two days, our shop assistants reported that they often heard crying in the back kitchen refrigerator, but when they went to look in the back kitchen, there was obviously no one in it..."

Speaking of this, Mona's voice trembled slightly.

Weird cries whose source cannot be found seem to be standard for all supernatural events, but sometimes cries whose source can be found are even more frightening.

The clerk didn't see anyone in the back kitchen, so he continued to search for the sound, and finally found that the crying sound came from the salmon in the cold storage.

The key point is that half of the salmon has been cut off.

Then, water dripped from the house for unknown reasons, a large amount of blood flowed out of the cold storage, etc., and so on.

Basically, Mona's shop replayed all the horror scenes that are common in ghost movies. The difference is that her shop assistants did not have any accidents, but two of them resigned.

The scariest thing happened yesterday.

"Yesterday morning, as usual, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face after getting up, but when I looked in the mirror, I found that I had turned into a salmon in the mirror!" Mona said with her hands on her forehead, breaking down.

She has been tormented by all kinds of weird things in the past few days. The incident with the mirror completely broke her last line of psychological defense. She immediately gave the shop assistant two days off, and bought a plane ticket for herself. Please come here.

"That's how it is." Mona said, although she didn't know what happened to these weird things, but she also knew that it must have something to do with Anthony.

Her eyes swept over Ge Xiuran and Xue Chen, and her tone was very complicated, "This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing, and I have never had contact with people in this field before. I was afraid of encountering liars, so I thought about going to Taixu Temple to find them." People, at any rate, are formal Taoist temples, I didn't expect that Fucheng University has such talents..."

Ge Xiuran didn't notice Mona's entanglement, and even boasted to Xue Chen proudly: "You don't know, Xue is really talented in this area, so my master wanted to invite him to practice in our temple." Yes, it's a pity that Student Xue already has a teacher at school."

"So that's how it is." Mona's mouth twitched, and then she suddenly understood, "I remembered, I heard that many universities have majors in religious studies, isn't that what Xue is studying? It's no wonder... But I really didn't expect that the teaching of this major is so practical, I thought it was just learning theoretical knowledge."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ge Xiuran looked at her inexplicably: "No, student Xue majored in management, and I'm the master's degree in the Department of Religious Studies."

Mona: "...Oh."

Has the current religious world developed into this?

She is behind the times.

However, she is not in the mood to study the development of the religious world right now, so she touched her arm and said, "You haven't seen that the kitchen has been dripping for no reason these days, just like it's raining, but the ceiling doesn't leak at all, it's really scary... "

"It's okay." Xue Chen responded casually, "It can only rain in the kitchen, and it can't even cover three bedrooms and two living rooms, so the ability is just that."

Back when Xiaohong wanted to scare them, it was able to rain in a hotel area.

A monster who can only drip water in the kitchen, his cultivation level is low.

Mona: "..."

Why do you judge whether monsters are powerful or not like this?

However, although this monster does not sound very good, its behavior is really confusing.

Generally, monsters cause trouble, either seeking revenge or seeking profit.

What Mona encountered sounds like it was caused by the salmon, as if Anthony was avenging the eaten salmon.

The problem is that all the salmon in Mona’s store are airlifted from Norway, and the salmon has already died in Norway. Mona is a restaurant owner. Besides, there are so many Japanese food stores. If you really want to seek revenge, you shouldn't only find Mona, right?

Of course, the strangest thing is, what is the origin of this monster, and why is it so protective of salmon?

"I think it should be the essence of salmon..." Mona couldn't help but feel a little funny after saying it.

In a Japanese grocery store that has been open for so long, salmon is the most popular raw fish product, and I never thought it would be fine.

The point is that this is a foreign fish, and it doesn't exist in Huaxia's strange stories, so it feels very inconsistent.

Xue Chen shook his head: "It's unlikely."

It's not that I don't think that salmon won't become essence, but that Huaxia is still unlikely to have salmon essence.

Salmon originates abroad and is a typical cold-water fish. Although China has an ultra-long coastline of more than 1.8 kilometers, most of them are in the temperate zone.

In other words, there are no waters suitable for salmon growth in China, and even artificial breeding is very difficult. At present, the salmon used in major restaurants is basically imported, and it has been frozen when it enters the country.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy for salmon to appear alive in the country, and it is even more difficult to become a master.

It is also possible to enter the country after becoming a master, but according to Mona, although this Anthony is of foreign origin, he has a pure Chinese accent, and he doesn't know anything about foreign countries, so he probably grew up in China.

In this way, this possibility is also eliminated.

Hearing what he said, Mona was immediately at a loss: "Then what is he?"

Why is salmon so maintained?

Xue Chen calmly said, "We'll know when he shows up."

Just as she was talking, Mona's cell phone rang, she picked it up and looked at it, and said, "The salmon ordered today has arrived."

It turned out that when Ge Xiuran was entrusted by her, she judged from her description that this evil spirit should have an obsession with salmon, so she asked Mona to order four salmon in advance as bait.

"Sit down, I'll go and collect the goods." Mona said as she got up and opened the door, leading two delivery workers in.

It was not the first time for the workers to come here. Without Mona leading the way, they carried things into the refrigerator in the back kitchen familiarly.

After a while, a worker's voice came from the back kitchen: "Miss Boss, there's a leak inside—"

Mona's expression changed.

Two workers ran out in a hurry, pointed at the back kitchen and shook their heads: "Take a quick look, it's leaking too badly, it's like raining, quickly find someone to fix it."

Mona's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at Xue Chen and the others.

Seeing that Xue Chen and the others didn't change their expressions, Xue Chen only glanced at the worker, opened his eyes calmly and said nonsense: "I've already found someone, and I'm on my way."

The worker breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Xue Chen did not forget to ask: "Did you just put the salmon away? Don't let the water drip."

His fishes still want to eat!

The worker patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, we are professionals. We only come out after putting it away, and we guarantee that it will not be polluted."

Xue Chen nodded: "That's good."

"I'm sorry to bother you." Mona was not as calm as Xue Chen, she was so anxious that she quickly signed the receipt and sent the two workers out the door.

When she ran back again, her face turned green, she pointed in the direction of the kitchen, and asked in a low voice, "Master Daoist, classmate, did any monsters appear?"

"Well, it has appeared." Xue Chen's face was full of disgust, "I really don't pay attention to the aggressive monster aura."

As soon as the salmon arrived, there was a demonic aura in the kitchen. It seemed that the monster was still standing guard at a fixed point, because it really didn't allow Mona to use salmon in the shop.

Mona became even more nervous when she heard that: "Then what should we do now? Do we need to do something?"

"Don't panic." Ge Xiuran waved her hand and looked to the side, "Student Xue, do you want to do it?"

Generally speaking, if Xue Chen is willing to do it, he can skip the procedure.

Ge Xiuran added skillfully: "I can transfer Ms. Mo's expenses to you."

"Alright." Xue Chen glanced at him.

Just as I was talking, a gloomy wind suddenly blew up in the store, and a gloomy voice came from the back kitchen: "Mona, I have warned you, but I didn't expect you to be stubborn, and this time you actually brought in four salmon. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude—"

Still with a Northeastern accent.

The voice was faint, although it smelled like a scumbag, but it was full of nameless coldness, which made Mona's scalp tingle, and Mona subconsciously grabbed Ge Xiuran's arm: "Taoist——"

Ge Xiuran turned to look at Xue Chen.

Xue Chen was still sitting upright, and only snapped his fingers in the direction of the box: "Pokemon, come out."

Ge Xiuran:?

With a "bang", the aquariums who came with Xue Chen pushed open the door of the box and ran out angrily.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

Xue Chen pointed in the direction of the back kitchen: "Go in and beat that monster up. If you lose, put yourself on my table."

"Received." Several aquarists responded in unison, then kicked open the kitchen door and rushed in.

Mona:? ?

She didn't know that these people were not human beings, so she couldn't help being very nervous when she saw this: "Are they going in like this? There are monsters inside..."

Before I finished speaking, there was a sound of "ping bell clanging" in the back kitchen. A minute later, those strange people came out of the kitchen, and Sha Matt, who walked in the front, was carrying a bag about the size of his forearm in his hand. Long fish, the fish has yellow scales covered with small black spots.

Mona was stunned, and asked doubtfully, "Where did you get the rainbow trout?"

Rainbow trout is a kind of freshwater salmon native to North America. The meat is tender and has no fishy smell. It is very similar to salmon, so it is called "freshwater salmon" by some merchants.

Although there are no waters suitable for salmon farming in China, this kind of "freshwater salmon" can be bred, and rainbow trout were introduced for artificial breeding decades ago. At present, rainbow trout farms are mainly distributed in northern regions.

Because it is very similar to salmon, merchants once hyped its concept, trying to promote it as raw food like real salmon, so as to make profits.

However, as a freshwater fish, rainbow trout may carry a large number of parasites in its body, so it is not suitable for raw food at all.

Mona is a Japanese food maker, and she is most familiar with salmon, so she naturally also knows this kind of "fake salmon", so she recognized it at a glance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the rainbow trout suddenly twisted wildly, spit out words, and cursed: "What rainbow trout, I am salmon! Freshwater salmon is also salmon!!"

Mona:! ! !

The fish are talking!

She was so frightened that she almost yelled, Shamat grabbed the rainbow trout by its tail and slammed the rainbow trout against the wall twice, cursing as she swung, "Speak politely, are you polite?"

The head of the rainbow trout hit the wall with a "slap" sound. Seeing that the head of the fish was about to split, how could it dare to speak out again, and wept softly: "I was wrong, I won't do it again!" Don’t dare, I’m just a rainbow trout, not a salmon at all.”

"You're smart." Xiaohong just snorted, threw the rainbow trout on the ground, put on a respectful smile and looked at Xue Chen, "Honorable Sir, I'll leave it to you."

Xue Chen glanced at the half-dead Rainbow Trout: "Become a human before talking."

That rainbow trout is not stupid, he has already seen that this person is the boss of these rogue aquariums, so he quickly rolled on the spot and turned into a human form.

His human form is a white man with curly black hair and sunken eye sockets. It is Anthony who harassed Mona before.

Xue Chen already knew it in his heart, and said indifferently: "Tell me, why are you making trouble?"

Anthony was covered in bruises, and he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. He shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I'll say it, I'll say it all."

He glanced at Mona and said in a low voice, "I'm a freshwater salmon that grew up in the Northeast..."

"Rainbow trout is just rainbow trout, what kind of freshwater salmon." Xue Chen sneered, "Put your position right."

"Yes, yes, I am a rainbow trout." Anthony didn't dare to be angry or speak, and immediately recognized it with understanding, "My name is Anthony..."

"Still pretending." Xue Chen stepped forward and pressed his head and punched him twice, "Do you know how to talk now?"

Anthony squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, finally being completely honest, sobbing and saying: "I, my name is Hong Tieyu..."

Everyone:"……"

Ge Xiuran was shocked and asked: "Student Xue, how do you know that Anthony is not his real name?"

Xue Chen said "Oh": "I don't know, I just want to hit him..."

Mona and Ge Xiuran: "...??"

Under the iron fist of justice, Hong Tieyu finally learned to be good. He didn't dare to beautify himself any more, and honestly explained the reasons for his troubles.

According to Hong Tieyu, he was originally a rainbow trout born in a farm in Northeast China. He was born bigger and smarter. Later, when he found an opportunity, he escaped from the farm and moved to the Kangyang River Basin.

Because of Kangyangjiang's abundant aura, he was fortunate enough to open up his spiritual wisdom and become a master.

After gaining spiritual wisdom, he also realized the difference between himself and the local fish, knowing that the ancestor of the rainbow trout was not of local blood, but a foreign fish introduced from North America.

At that time, when European and American cultures invaded aggressively, and the people valued foreign things, Hong Tieyu felt that he had foreign blood and was superior to local fish. After a while, he changed his name to Anthony and bid farewell to Hong Tieyu. .

It's a pity that his sense of superiority didn't last long. With the popularity of various foreign cuisines in China, Hong Tieyu recognized a new foreign fish—salmon.

Salmon and rainbow trout obviously belong to the same genus of Pacific salmon, but their treatment status among the people is quite different.

Salmon imported from abroad is a pure-blooded foreign fish, and the price is very expensive, while the price of freshwater rainbow trout raised locally is much lower.

In the hearts of diners, rainbow trout is not as good as real salmon.

Hong Tieyu's sense of superiority as a noble foreign fish was fatally hit, and he was depressed for a while.

Until a few days ago, in order to make profits, some merchants hyped the concept of "freshwater salmon" for rainbow trout, and even included rainbow trout in the salmon standard list.

Hong Tieyu was overjoyed by this, and from then on he regarded himself as a salmon, and became more and more contented.

Unexpectedly, the folks did not buy it. A large number of netizens pointed out that rainbow trout is not a real salmon at all. As a freshwater fish, there is a risk of parasite infection if eaten raw, and the price should not be compared with salmon.

In the end, rainbow trout failed to join the salmon membership, but it aroused rebellion and resistance from many people.

Rainbow trout is not recognized as salmon by netizens, but Hong Tieyu is no longer willing to be rainbow trout. He calls himself a noble salmon, and has intensified his efforts to protect salmon's reputation everywhere.

Hearing this, Ge Xiu suddenly realized: "It turns out that the converts are fanatical."

The so-called fanaticism of converts means that in religious beliefs, people who convert halfway are often more devout than original believers.

For example, among the people living abroad, some admire foreign countries far more than the locals, and even insult and slander their home country for this.

Hong Tieyu's extreme desire to join the salmon membership, spurn his own identity as a native rainbow trout, and defend the reputation of salmon is exactly a kind of fanaticism among converts.

In addition, Hong Tieyu also has a strong yearning for Norway, the hometown of salmon. Unfortunately, as a ghost, he has no passport and no other connections.

Because of his enthusiasm for salmon, he occasionally transforms into a human form, patronizes Japanese grocery stores in the world, and orders a piece of salmon to pray for salvation.

Until a few days ago when I came to Mona's shop, I learned that Mona had studied in Europe and was single, so I came up with the idea of ​​pursuing Mona, tricking Mona into taking him on a trip to Europe, and then taking the opportunity to stay in Europe. idea.

It's a pity that he really doesn't know much about Europe, and his strange maintenance of salmon soon aroused Mona's vigilance.

Hong Tieyu explained that in fact, the reason why Mona really angered him was not selling salmon, but that in the final quarrel, Mona exposed the truth that he had never been abroad.

For a rainbow trout who is proud of its foreign ancestry and is committed to packing it into salmon, it is undoubtedly the greatest shame.

Hong Tieyu became furious because of this, and began to harass Mona's shop in the name of revenge for Salmon.

At this point, everything is clear.

There was a long silence in the shop.

After a while, Xue Chen cursed: "Damn it, it turned out to be a deadly essay."

Ge Xiuran was puzzled: "Who is Jingwen?"

Xue Chen sneered: "Spiritual salmon."

The author has something to say:

The information in this chapter mainly comes from Baidu, and the concept of fanaticism of converts is also used as online information.
