Chapter 261 Night (Ask for a double monthly pass at the end of the month)
In the strong wind, the abrupt knocking sound echoed in the "Wild Pigeon" bar, making the card-playing players, mahjong-playing players, bargainers, and those waiting to dance quiet down involuntarily.
At this time, Shang Jianyao smiled and commented:
"It's really polite."
Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then woke up to what Shang Jianyao meant:
The door of the "Wild Pigeon" bar is not closed at all, and there are two wooden baffles that can move freely at the door, which can be opened with a push, and there is no need to knock on it at all.
"It's a bit strange......" Jiang Baimian echoed.
Pannania, the leader of the "Mountain Fox" bandits at the door, was also a little apprehensive, but there was a more ferocious and fearsome existence in the bar, so he finally motioned for one of his subordinates to push open the wooden baffle that only existed in the middle of the door frame.
On the street outside, the light of the street lamps illuminated part of the area, and a dark shadow flashed through it and entered the area ruled by night.
Panania breathed a sigh of relief and laughed:
"Which kid is mischievous?"
In the midst of laughter, he led thirteen of his men out of the "Wild Pigeon" bar. The two wooden baffles bounced back, shook a few times, and gradually came to a standstill.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, the card player began to push out the chips in front of him again, and the blind man who played mahjong blindly touched what the cards in his hand were, and the bargainer gradually reached an agreement with the goal, waiting for the dancer to ask if the bar owner Cai Yi would not open the dance floor tonight because of the strong wind and rain and snow.
Jiang Baimian also retracted his gaze and turned his gaze to the billiard table beside him.
Shang Jianyao had already set up the billiard balls and pulled out a wooden pole.
He wiped the head of the rod, leaned down, and took an unusually professional pose.
One word, handsome!
"Yo, it's quite good." Jiang Baimian commented with a smile.
In the next second, Shang Jianyao brushed the ground and hit the white cue ball.
With a bang, the white ball flew up and smashed into the pile of red balls.
The red balls scattered, jumping and rolling, and one of them slipped into the net bag.
Jiang Baimian finished reading it with a slightly sluggish expression, and couldn't help but ask:
"You haven't played it?"
"I've only seen them play." Shang Jianyao replied truthfully.
In "Pangu Biology", not every floor of the "activity center" has a billiard table.
There is a 350th floor where the university is located, but there are many people waiting, and you really can't grab it without some skills.
"What about you?" Jiang Baimian turned to look at Long Yuehong.
Long Yuehong shook her head:
"I've only seen others play."
"Ha, let me teach you, with your eyesight, wrist strength, and body control, this is easy to get started." Jiang Baimian suddenly became interested.
She immediately looked at Bai Chen on the side:
"Xiaobai, can you play?"
She remembered that when Bai Chen was in Wild Grass City, he was no stranger to bars, dance halls, and nightclubs, and obviously he would hang out in these places from time to time to look for opportunities.
In some such places, there will be a special billiard room.
"Yes." Bai Chen answered concisely.
"Then let's play a game and show them it." Jiang Baimian pulled out a cue and threw it to Bai Chen.
The two ladies played billiards, and Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong watched while listening to them explain the skills and rules.
In this game, Jiang Baimian relied on his open and closed attack and accurate grasp of the route and strength, and the advantage was not too big to win Bai Chen.
"You are really a little mill king." Jiang Baimian smiled and praised.
What she meant was that Bai Chen was very good at defending and always got the ball in a position that made her feel uncomfortable and awkward.
This also means that this game has been "grinded" for a long time, and the bar owner Cai Yi has finished other things and prepared the first food:
Canned lunch meat.
Cai Yi took out the luncheon meat inside and made it in the air fryer for eight minutes, making both sides a little crispy and the fat coming out.
This made the aroma of luncheon meat more and more obvious, and even the four members of the "Old Tune Group" who were tired of eating canned food sniffed and developed an appetite.
They took chopsticks, each picked up a piece, and took a bite, feeling that it was much more delicious than the normal way of eating:
It has the aroma of fried food and avoids the original greasy.
"Not bad." Jiang Baimian finished eating a piece and praised it sincerely.
Shang Jianyao, who was eating the second piece, nodded and agreed:
"We ...... Method...... Exploitation...... Too little......
In this way, they sometimes ate the food that was delivered, and sometimes played billiards in an entertaining way.
After dinner, because the wind outside was still strong, Jiang Baimian decided not to give Shang Jianyao a chance to dance, and took the can that was exchanged for the remaining value of the portable computer, and led the three members of the "Old Tune Team" to leave the "Wild Pigeon" bar.
Shang Jianyao turned around step by step and went out reluctantly.
"It's not very windy......" he said as he walked out into the street.
"Ah, what did you say?" Jiang Baimian raised his hand and touched his ear.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen also didn't hear Shang Jianyao's words clearly, because the wind was really too strong.
People are about to fly, let alone sounds?
They put their hands in their pockets, shrank their bodies slightly, and walked towards the location of the "Dream" hotel.
The light of the street lamps alternately appeared in the black night, and the stall owners on both sides had already returned to their respective homes, and the streets were quiet.
It was so quiet that Long Yuehong felt furry in her heart.
After walking for a while, Jiang Baimian's eyes, which had been observing the surrounding situation, suddenly froze.
She saw a sign diagonally in front of her, and on the sign, many small glowing light bulbs formed five words:
"Wild Pigeon Bar"
"This ......" Jiang Baimian stopped.
"This is the arrangement of fate." Taking advantage of the wind getting a little lighter, Shang Jianyao used a magnetic baritone voice to make a "narration".
"Order your head!" Jiang Baimian replied and said with a serious expression, "It seems that there is a big problem."
She, Jiang Baimian, has never lost her way since she had a transplant and has an auxiliary chip!
And most importantly, they didn't notice anything unusual beforehand.
Long Yuehong's spirit was already tense, and his whole person was in a state of high alert.
Shang Jianyao seriously explained to Jiang Baimian:
"This scientific name is 'ghost hitting the wall'."
Hoarse...... Long Yuehong suddenly felt a chill behind her.
"Maybe we haven't left, we just spun around outside." Bai Chen expressed his guess.
Her expression was also a little solemn.
Jiang Baimian said "hmm":
"Don't be nervous, the soldiers will block it, the water will cover it, let's go in front to see if there is any change, and see if the problem is inside, outside, or ourselves."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao had already walked to the door of the "Wild Pigeon" bar and slapped the two wooden baffles heavily.
"Bang"! "Bang!" "Bang!"
At this moment, Jiang Baimian's first reaction was not that this guy was really big-hearted, but that he had an idea as if he was scared of himself:
"The knocking sound we heard in the bar before was not made by Shang Jianyao now, right?"
This idea is too ridiculous, involving time that mankind has not yet understood more, and was quickly denied by Jiang Baimian.
She didn't say anything about similar speculations, because she knew that it would definitely scare Xiaohong and make him overly tense.
This is not a good state.
Soon, the wooden baffle was opened, and the bar owner Cai Yi appeared in front of the four members of the "Old Tune Group".
Shout...... Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief and repented for a second for his cranky thoughts just now.
——She remembered that after the previous knocking, it was the members of the "Mountain Fox" bandit group who opened the door.
It seems to be just a simple "ghost hitting the wall", bah, why do I say "ghost hitting the wall"? "Ghost hitting the wall"...... Illusion in the direction of distance? Jiang Baimian vaguely had a guess.
"You guys, why are you back again? Something has fallen?" Cai Yi asked suspiciously.
The wind outside picked up again, making it difficult to hear.
"Go in first." Jiang Baimian pointed inside.
Without waiting for Cai Yi to respond, Shang saw that Yao had turned sideways and "slipped" into the bar next to the other party.
The gap is very large...... Long Yuehong couldn't help but scold, and her spirit was not so tense.
He crossed Cai Yi normally and walked into the "wild pigeon".
The third is Bai Chen, Jiang Baimian is responsible for the break.
After all the staff were in place, Jiang Baimian glanced at the wooden baffle that gradually stopped swinging, and asked Cai Yi:
"How long have we been gone?"
She had an estimate of the approximate time and wanted to confront Cai Yi.
This is both a test and a validation.
"Just three or four minutes." Cai Yi looked back at the wall clock near the bar.
"Then it's no problem." Jiang Baimian initially confirmed that his judgment on time was not confused.
As soon as she finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly flew in from above the wooden baffle and fell heavily to the ground.
Bang!
Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and the others looked over at the same time and found that it was a bloody corpse.
His eyes were wide open, frozen, with extreme horror, his clothes were tattered, his arm was missing, and there were obvious gnawing marks on his neck.
It's like encountering a hungry man-eating beast.
…………
Nanke Temple.
Zhou Yue, dressed in black hair, wearing a white robe, and tied with hemp rope, was sitting cross-legged on the futon, facing the dragon symbol in the shrine, reading the old world scriptures compiled by the sect - all of which were related to hallucinations.
Around her, several "dream herders" and many "dream fans" were either reading the Bible or praying intently, but no one made a sound.
After a while, a "dream inducer" got up, walked up to Zhou Yue, and asked her for some classic interpretations.
Zhou Yue replied peacefully.
Suddenly, inside the shrine, the surface of the broken mirrors that made up the dragon symbol quickly flashed a hazy shimmer.
Zhou Yue's heart moved, and she subconsciously raised her head and looked over.
Her eyes froze.
Most of the figures around her, including the "dream inducer" who asked her for advice, gradually disappeared, and only five people really existed.
…………
In the "Dream" hotel, the proprietress Aino in a gorgeous long dress is huddled at the front desk, using three electronic devices at the same time.
In front of her was the original computer, playing an episode from the old world, she was holding a palm-sized machine with a line of text on it, and to her right was the latest portable computer paid by Shang Jianyao and the others, running some patterns, text, and data.
In the midst of his addiction, Aino suddenly looked up, straightened up, and looked at the door.
The eerie wind blew in.
Zizizi, the electric lights in the hotel dimmed eerily, and dark shadows loomed outside the window.
