Zhang Ershu yawned deeply, because the work was not completed, so he was left to work overtime at night by his boss, and unfortunately, Wang Pazi.

  "Look at my back, I'm so tired I can't even stretch it straight! Second Fool, it's all your fault!" Wang Pazi complained.

  "I just borrowed the document you wrote for reference, who thought I would accidentally knock over the cup and spill the coffee on it!" Zhang Erzhu explained helplessly, "But as the saying goes, to be a brother, you should share the blessings and difficulties!"

  The cool midnight breeze blew Wang Pazi a cool feeling, "Fuck you! Since the hard, buddy to help you carry, the blessing, should also let the brother I enjoy it!"

  Zhang Erzhu knew what he was playing, patted his stomach, indeed, was hungry, but looked around, almost no store is still lit, helplessly said, "buddy, not I'm stingy ah, you see it's one o'clock in the morning, now what store is not closed ah! I think, or go back to the noodles to solve it!"

  Wang Pazi is still not stubborn, "Hum! I do not believe, the whole street is not a store is open!" Wang Pocky ran to look for it.

  "What a foodie!" Zhang Erzhu sighed helplessly.

  "Hoo-hoo!" A gust of cold wind blew, Zhang Er Fool suddenly could not open his eyes, fluttered, I do not know what hit his face.

  "What the heck!" Zhang Erzhu angrily used his hand to take down the thing that covered his face, but it was a flyer.

  Hell-style ramen restaurant! Zhang Erzhu took a look at the content on the flyer, it turned out to be a gourmet store flyer, listen to the name is totally some gimmicky meaning, looking ahead at Wang Muzi who is still looking helplessly, "Good, I would like to see what you have a name for this hell-style ramen!"

  "Buddy! Buddy!" Zhang Erzhu shouted towards Wang Pocky from afar.

  Wang Puzi seems to be not want to give up, is determined to kill Zhang Er Fool this meal, "wait a little longer, I look again!"

  "Buddy! There is a place, there is a place, do not have to look!" Looking at Wang Pocky's appearance of this eater, Zhang Er Fool was a bit helpless, so he waved the flyer in his hand and shouted.

  After hearing the good news, Wang Puzi rushed over, still breathing heavily, "What the heck?"

  "Look!" Zhang Erzhu handed the flyer to Wang Pazzi.

  "Hellish Ramen House!" Wang Puzi read the flyer and suddenly got excited, "Wow! This store is open until 3:00 am! The name is also called Hell Style Ramen House, at night, it's really exciting! It seems to be just one turn ahead, go, let's go try it!" Wang Pocky's nature as a foodie was immediately revealed.

  So Zhang Erzhi and Wang Puzi two brave the cold wind continued to run, "Hell-style ramen restaurant!" Arriving in front of the ramen shop, the two were really stunned by the facade features of this peculiar noodle shop.

  The sign on the door of the store says Hell-style Ramen House, surprisingly, it also imitates the appearance of dripping blood, and the light inside is also a little faint, "What, scared? You are not a connoisseur of food? Do not dare to go in?" Zhang Erzhu mocked Wang Pazi.

  "Humph! Who is afraid!" Wang Pocky said defiantly, striding towards the inside.

  Inside is a relatively simple style of decoration, there are two dozen tables, and some of the same as Zhang Er Fool, they came here to eat a snack customers, see Zhang Er Fool they came in, look, and then continue to eat noodles.

  "Wow! The ingredients inside are really good!" Wang Muzi, a foodie, saw early on those guests eating ramen bowls, in addition to the strong ramen, there are many classes of seafood raw materials, especially that ramen soup is very dense.

  "Dude, order something! I'm starving to death!" Wang Pocky sat on the chair and urged restlessly.

  "Okay, waiter! Waiter!" Zhang Erzhu shouted.

  In a moment, a waiter dressed like a waiter came over, "May I ask what you two want to eat? This is the menu!"

  "Smooth shark fin ramen, seafood ramen, spicy ramen... Waiter, I'll have the chicken mushroom ramen! Buddy, look, what to eat, order it yourself!" Zhang Erzhu chose the ramen and handed the menu to Wang Ma Zi.

  "The one with shark's fin, the one with chicken sauce ....." Wang Pocky recited the menu, his expression obviously not very satisfied, helplessly asked toward the waiter, "Waiter, these are very ordinary?"

  The waiter also looked like he had seen the world, and was not shocked by Wang Pazi's words, and asked with a smile, "Then, sir, what do you need to order?"

  "Buddy, don't be picky for half a day, hurry up and order, just now you said you were starving to death! Now you're grumbling again!" Zhang Erzhu was impatient.

  "Dude, don't rush, we are here for this hellish ramen name, by the way, waiter, ah, I think you ramen restaurant should have some town delicious!" Wang Ma Zi asked expectantly.

  "Sir, at a glance you are a connoisseur of food, our restaurant does have a town hall ramen, also exactly like what is written on the signboard of our ramen restaurant, called hell-style ramen, unfortunately, our ramen restaurant from the opening until now, no one has ever asked us, our ramen restaurant including all the ramen on these menus, although they are all delicious and full of ramen, but none of them are considered to be hell-style Ramen, since the gentleman asked, is the store's confidant, also please come this way!" The waitress greeted Wang Ma Zi and got up to walk with her.

  "What's going on?" Zhang Erzhu asked, puzzled.

  "It goes without saying! I got lucky, buddy, I told you that food can not be too modest! You see, I went to eat the town store ramen, and there is a special box arrangement!" Wang Pazi said with a smug look.

  "So, waiter, this, you see I came with him, can I go together?" Zhang Erzhu thirstily said.

  "Sorry, sir, this is also the rule of our ramen shop, please understand!" The waiter refused Zhang Erzhu.

  Wang Pocky on the side was even more smug, "Buddy, eating food also requires fate, but don't worry, for the sake of your bill, after eating, I will talk to you!" Wang Pocky followed the waiter in a faint.

Hellish ramen

  Zhang Erzhu then helplessly ate his own chicken mushroom ramen, although not fortunate enough to try the same hellish ramen as Wang Puzi, but this bowl of ramen is indeed good.

  I don't know when the bowl of ramen is finished, Zhang Erzhu patted his stomach, feeling very satisfied, to eat the hellish ramen Zhang Erzhu still hasn't come, Zhang Erzhu some impatient, ready to go ask the waiter.

  At this time, a figure suddenly ran to Zhang Erzhu's side, Zhang Erzhu looked up and saw that it was his buddy Wang Muzi, seeing this appearance, Zhang Erzhu asked curiously, "What's going on? Eat a hell of a ramen and you get like this!"

  "Go, go, go! Hurry up and go!" Wang Ma Zi hurriedly took Zhang Er Fool to leave, Zhang Er Fool still looked confused, "What, what's going on ah? Have not paid yet!"

  "Go, go!" But Wang Pazi still tightly pull Zhang Erzhu's hand to go outside, Zhang Erzhu was also pulled by Wang Pazi foolishly to run outside.

  I do not know how long to run, Wang Pazi finally stopped, Zhang Erzhu gasped and asked, "to, in the end what is going on ah?"

  "Too, too, too horrible!" Wang Pocky replied with a shudder.

  Zhang Er Fool while turning his head to look at the direction of the ramen shop, afraid that someone over there came after him, he would be treated as eating a bully meal a vicious beating.

  "Say, say it! Buddy!" When Zhang Erzhu turned his head again to ask Wang Puzi, but was horrified to find that Wang Puzi did not know where he had gone? "Buddy! Buddy! Wang Puzi, Wang Puzi!" In an instant, Wang Ma Zi disappeared from Zhang Er Fool's side.

  Zhang Erzhu was astonished, thinking that it could not be a prank of Wang Pazi! And his company is nearby, this time eating ramen noodles to escape, but later is very humiliating ah! So Zhang Erzhu walked back toward the ramen shop, want to pay the money, on the way back, Zhang Erzhu was thinking about how to explain to the people in the ramen shop!

  A few moments later, Zhang Erzhu returned to the ramen shop and walked in with courage, "Waiter! I'll pay the bill!" Zhang Erzhu shouted loudly so that the waiter would not misunderstand that he was really running away.

  "Hello, sir, the total is one hundred and thirty yuan!" The waiter approached kindly.

  After paying, Zhang Erzhu asked curiously, "Waiter, just now my buddy, who ate your hellish ramen here, pulled me like crazy and ran away, what's going on?"

  "Because it's the town ramen of this ramen shop, so it's not convenient to say!" The waiter was obviously reluctant to disclose.

  "Look, you just said it too, so I'll order another hellish ramen now, it's in line with your rules right!"

  "That, that!" There was nothing wrong with that, and the waiter was helpless, "Okay then! This way please!"

  Zhang Erzhu was ready to see what kind of hellish ramen this was, thinking that Wang Puzi must be joking with himself!

  "Just a moment, please wait!" Zhang Erzhu was taken to a private room and the waiter went out.

  "Wow! So romantic!" The room was replaced with a dark red flashing light at some point, and Zhang Erzhu marveled.

  A moment later, the waiter brought up a bowl of ramen, "Sir, this is our hellish ramen!" After saying that, the waiter went out.

  It was very ordinary! Zhang Erzhu was a little puzzled, this ramen was not different from the one he ate, ah.

  At some point, the front screen side flashing lights, a sturdy figure appeared, only to see him on the table struggling to knead the dough, and then to pull straight and thin, made into ramen, "dong dong dong dong!" Another sound of cutting vegetables, the sound is mellow and powerful, Zhang Erzhi did not expect not only can eat ramen, but also can watch the show, really different treatment, can not help but complain about buddy Wang Muzi joke.

  Finally all the show finished, Zhang Erzhu not only look good, but also eat with great pleasure, only to see the opposite screen slowly withdrawn.

  When seeing the scene in front of him, Zhang Erzhi almost soul, only to see a green-faced behemoth, holding a kitchen knife, a bloodstain on the table, which is still what ramen and raw materials ah, is the human intestines and organs ah!

  "Ah! Asako!" The human head on the table turned out to be his buddy Wang Ma Zi's, "You! You guys!" Zhang Erzhu was so shocked that he couldn't say anything.

  The waiter appeared at some point, "Don't you really want to try the hellish ramen? You've just seen the show, eat up! Eat up!"

  Looking at the bowl of ramen, and the bloody things on the opposite table, Zhang Erzhu almost went crazy, only to see the green-faced and fanged guy walking over, "Eat! Eat!" It held a large knife seems to be threatening Zhang Er Fool.

  Zhang Erzhu, terrified, picked up the ramen noodles and leaped for it, but it just couldn't reach his mouth, "Haha! Eat it! Don't you want to try the hellish ramen? This is the treasure of our ramen house!"

  Zhang Erzhu finally understood, Wang Pazi did not joke with him, before pulling him to run, I'm afraid it is also his soul, anyone who saw this scene, will be scared out of their minds!

  In the cold wind of midnight, dimly lit streets, two people with creepy smiles appeared, holding thick flyers in their hands, waiting for people who get off work at midnight, so they can try hellish ramen.
