Chapter 65 Reality (1)

After Huo Ran went out, he took a taxi back home.

This time the system has not popped up the dungeon countdown yet, so she wants to take this opportunity to go home and see her parents.

After getting out of the car, my cell phone rang.

Huo Ran pressed answer.

"Hey, Bureau Xu."

"Did you just come out of the dungeon?" Xu Zhaoxing asked, "I saw the background push message. Are there two other passers in this dungeon?"

Huo Ran closed the car door: "No, it's three. What's wrong?"

"Three? How is that possible? The game report states that only two people have passed the level besides you. Are you mistaken?" Xu Zhaoxing did not dwell on the matter. "What are the names of the other two people? I will ask the people below Go check it out and try to recruit him into our bureau."

In addition to her, Fu You, Di Ying and Chen Rong also passed the customs. Why did the broadcast only report two people?
Huo Ran didn't say Fu You's name: "Di Ying and Chen Rong, but that Chen Rong has already joined some Lucifer organization, so she won't join the bureau."

"Lucifer?" Xu Zhaoxing said, "Forget it, Lucifer is the organization with the largest number of members in the Youshen game. There is still no information about the person in charge of the organization. We can't rashly poach people. Di Ying can check it out. .By the way, I heard from Fang Gui that you entered the dungeon with the Guishou people?"

Huo Ran: "Yes."

"Huo Ran, the people in Guishou are very cunning and do not do good things. As a member of our special investigation bureau, you must not get involved with them..."

Huo Ran agreed perfunctorily: "I know Bureau Xu. I'll go home and see my parents. If there's anything I need to do when I return to Zhongchuan, I'll go to the Bureau to find you."

After Huo Ran hung up the phone, he entered the community.

He took out the key from under the carpet and opened the door reluctantly.

"Mom, how many times have I told you that it's not safe to put keys under the carpet."

Lu Yi was sitting on the sofa watching TV with her reading glasses on. She turned around and was surprised to see it was Huo Ran, and a smile immediately spread across her face.

"Of course, why don't you tell mom in advance when you come back? I can go buy groceries in advance!"

Lu Yi took off his reading glasses, held Huo Ran's hand and sat down.

"What do you want to eat? Mom is going to buy it now," Lu Yi touched Huo Ran's face and said distressedly, "You are busy with work, and Mom doesn't dare to call you for fear of delaying your work. How have you been these two days? I haven't stayed. Are you suffering from the sequelae of the car accident? Look at your thin face. Listen to your mother and quit your job at that bureau immediately. It’s too dangerous. It’s better to go home and find a job. Mom will feel at ease..."

Huo Ran smiled helplessly: "Mom, I just met you two days ago. How much weight can I lose in just a few days?"

Lu Yi turned down the sound of the TV and said earnestly: "I didn't agree with you when you just graduated. Look at the TV news. Many people in this field either died on the job or were retaliated against. What do you do to your mother every day? Can you sleep peacefully?"

Huo Ran didn't want to continue talking about this matter, so he changed the subject: "Hey, where's dad? He's not at home?"

"Your dad's clinic is busy. What do you want to eat? Mom will buy it now."

Huo Ran stretched out and said, "I'll go inside and sleep for a while, and then I'll eat later in the evening."

Lu Yi felt sorry for her daughter, and an advertisement for a hot pot restaurant happened to be broadcast on TV.

"That's okay, go in and go to sleep. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. It's been a long time since you've slept well... Mom will call you when it's dinner time, and we'll go have hot pot as a family."

After Huo Ran went to bed, smelling the familiar smell of home, he quickly fell asleep relaxedly.

The dream was filled with darkness. She ran for a long time but could not find a way out.

"Of course, wake up," Lu Yi patted Huo Ran gently, "It's already eight o'clock, are you hungry? Let's go out to eat hot pot. Your dad has already got off work. I called him and asked him to find a hot pot. The store will send us the location soon."

Huo Ran opened his eyes and nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll change clothes now."

It seemed like she hadn't slept so soundly in a long time.

……

……

After Huo Ran fastened his seat belt, he clicked on the location of the hotpot restaurant to start navigation.

More than thirty minutes later, we arrived at a hot pot restaurant that was bustling with people. "What kind of place did your dad choose..." Lu Yi started to complain after getting out of the car, "There is nothing around here, just a hot pot restaurant here. There are many hot pot restaurants near our house. It's really hard to come all this way. Free."

The plaque above the hot pot restaurant in front of me reads "Midnight Hot Pot Restaurant" in red with five big characters. The big characters are surrounded by a circle of chili peppers, which looks very hot.

The store was packed with people, and there was still a long queue outside the store. Business was very hot.

As soon as Huo Ran got out of the car, he smelled the spicy and tempting aroma of hot pot.

"It smells so good..."

The two swallowed their saliva uncontrollably.

I have never smelled such a mouth-watering hot pot smell.

"Look where your dad is?" Lu Yi swallowed, "Your dad really knows how to choose. This hot pot is so delicious..."

Huo Ran looked at the queue of dozens of people, looking for familiar faces.

The man at the front of the team waved: "Here it is! Come on!"

Huo Ran: "Dad is at the front."

The two jogged a few steps and came to Huo Hansong's side.

Huo Hansong chuckled: "I've been waiting here for more than an hour. You guys came just in time. It's our turn next."

"Of course, you look tired from work and have such a thin face," Huo Hansong said, "Let's open up and eat soon! This restaurant was recommended to me by a patient during the day and said it was delicious. It is only open at night... "

The three of them swallowed their saliva as they smelled the fragrance.

"Why hasn't anyone come out yet? The smell makes me starve to death."

Huo Ran shook his head, feeling a bit inconsistent.

Ever since she was little, she has always eaten whatever she wants. There is nothing she particularly likes or dislikes.

The scent of this place actually made her salivate.

An enthusiastic waitress inside waved to the three of them: "Come in, you three, there are free seats."

There was obviously no one coming out, so why was there an empty seat?
Huo Ran felt that his legs were a little unruly.

She didn't really want to go in, but she couldn't resist the temptation of the scent.

After the three of them entered the store, the enthusiastic female clerk pointed to the menu on the wall.

"You three, please place your order here first. We are clearing the table and will bring a few over later."

A large black menu hangs on the wall.
