Chapter 19 The Call of Cthulhu
"Dong dong dong——"
Aaron, who was awakened by a fierce knock on the door, walked to the door rubbing his sleepy eyes.
He was so angry about Brother Butcher's inheritance last night that he almost fell asleep. He struggled until late at night before falling asleep. At this time, the genius had just begun to dawn, and he hadn't slept enough at all.
Aaron, who was a little angry because he was woken up, opened the door and shouted cursingly:
"Who is it! What are you doing! What a reminder so early in the morning!"
Then, a beautiful woman wearing a conservative maid outfit entered Aaron's field of vision. She smiled politely and greeted him: "Good morning, Aaron."
"Bang——"
Aaron subconsciously closed the door, scratched his head, and said to himself: "Strange, why am I sleepwalking."
"Dong dong dong——"
Before Aaron, who had deceived himself, could turn around, a fierce knock on the door sounded again. About three or four seconds later, Aaron opened the door with a look of disgust, and standing outside the door... it was still Anna.
Miss, she kept a perfect smile, as if nothing had happened before, and said hello again: "Good morning, Aaron."
She seemed to feel that as long as she was not embarrassed, she would not be the one who was embarrassed, but Aaron did not accept this trick at all. He said expressionlessly: "I am not Aaron, you have found the wrong person."<
/p>
"Aaron Hill, the investigation expert who was officially hired by Major Taylor just yesterday, is currently assisting the major in investigating the Ripper case." Anna crossed her arms and said rather playfully: "Besides, yesterday, I was removed from the carriage.
Wasn't it you who was robbed in the carriage? I don't think I found the wrong person."
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Aaron shrugged, ready to shamelessly deny all the maid's questions.
After that, he pretended to close the door again, but this time Anna did not let him close the door. Instead, she took a step forward and blocked half of her body between the door and the door frame, preventing her from closing the door.
Action.
Then, she stood on tiptoes and got closer to Aaron, who was a head taller than her. She wrinkled her cute little nose and smelled his scent.
This made Aaron subconsciously take a step back, distance himself from Anna, and asked defensively: "What are you doing?"
"I smell gun oil and gunpowder." Anna did not continue to throw herself into the embrace, but said words that shocked Aaron, "What? You were maintaining the firearm last night?"
Aaron frowned, pushed the half-open door completely open, and stared at the maid in front of him: "Are you a dog? You have such a sharp nose?"
"Wow." Anna put her hands on both sides of her head, making puppy ears, and said with a smile: "As long as you let me come in as a guest, I can definitely be your puppy, Aaron."
"...You win, come in."
Aaron admitted that he couldn't understand what this guy was doing for a while. Since she was the maid of Duke Edwards' mansion, it was hard to make any rough and aggressive moves towards her, so he had no choice but to invite Anna into his house.
Home.
But at this moment, he suddenly had an idea and asked: "Anna, have you had breakfast?"
"No, Aaron, do you want to treat me to breakfast?"
"Well, I cook."
"Wow." Anna's eyes lit up, her hands intertwined and she said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be so versatile!"
"Hmph."
Aaron turned around to lead the way for Anna, and also used this to divert his gaze, preventing Annie from seeing his slightly cocked smirk.
Since you threw yourself into a trap, don’t blame me for treating you as a guinea pig to try out your cooking skills, Miss Anna!
……
Last night, after swallowing the Butcher's extraordinary elements, Aaron suddenly had some enlightenment - his swallowing ability also has limits. Now he can only swallow and use bronze-level extraordinary elements at most, and at the same time, he can
The extraordinary elements and abilities he can accommodate are also limited. If he swallows silver-level extraordinary elements or swallows too many extraordinary elements, his body will have a huge rejection reaction and feel extreme pain.
Fortunately, the Butcher's extraordinary element is only at the quasi-silver level, which is just at the critical value that Aaron can swallow. However, the process of swallowing is a bit painful, and after surviving it, there will be no life-threatening danger.
After swallowing this extraordinary element, Aaron felt that he had the illusion that he was not full. He could feel that before his true extraordinary ability was improved, he would no longer be able to swallow and accommodate other extraordinary abilities.
.
And such a precious quota only comes in exchange for an extraordinary ability related to "cooking", which sounds like a bit of a loss. This is also the direct reason why Aaron was so angry that he almost didn't fall asleep yesterday.
However, after waking up calmer, Aaron found that the situation did not seem to be as bad as he originally thought.
Although Brother Butcher is a meat cook, his "cooking skills" are quite useful to Aaron.
"Breakfast is coming!"
Aaron strode out of the kitchen with a large pot, quickly came to the small restaurant, and placed the large pot in front of Anna, who was sitting at the dining table.
Anna poked her head curiously and looked at the soup pot Aaron put on the table - she had never seen "breakfast" served directly with the pot, so she couldn't help but feel interested, but she still kept a polite smile on her face.
, praised somewhat exaggeratedly: "I'm really looking forward to it!"
However, Aaron did not respond to Anna's nonchalant compliment, but silently opened the lid of the soup pot, revealing the true nature of the soup inside.
Anna subconsciously looked at the soup pot, and then she saw a pot of something indescribable.
The smell of grease hit your face, and a large amount of bloody minced meat was wrapped in a thick, yellowish paste, rolling up and down in the pot. The soup was like flowing magma, with hard-to-touch spots constantly appearing.
The bubbles that pop up due to the high temperature, the appearance and collapse of each bubble, are like the death knell blasting in your ears.
Densely packed, goosebump-inducing black spots are scattered in the slightly viscous soup, while long translucent or yellowish tentacles are constantly stirring the soup, filling the soup pot with strange vitality.
Inside, it seems as if some evil monster is about to awaken at any moment.
In this picture of the abyss, which looks like the tentacles of an evil god dancing wildly, there are sporadic strange green colors, dotted with this evil food irregularly, which also makes the eyes of those looking at the abyss sting!
Anna's polite smile became a little stiff. She pointed at the pot in front of her and asked with some stuttering: "Aaron, this... what is this?"
"This is a delicacy from my hometown. Its name is Hu spicy soup." Aaron introduced with a smile, "It's just that I made some local improvements to it, so I also changed it to a more suitable one."
