Chapter 168: Pawnshop No. 8

520 apartments.

"Big guy, is there anything going on tomorrow night?"

Chandler pushed the door in, clapped his hands and asked.

"Do you have a problem?"

Adam wondered.

He remembered that Chandler had been busy apologizing to Susie during this time, but it hadn't made much progress.

More than 20 years of psychological shadows.

Ever since Chandler lifted her skirt in public, her nickname has changed to Panty Susie, and she has been ridiculed until she left town at the age of eighteen.

Even today, she almost never goes back.

Because she was afraid of being recognized, she was once again called out in public by the nickname that made her extremely ashamed.

Chandler's apology journey was as difficult as you can imagine.

"Tomorrow night we have a party in our company, you can bring people over to play, drink, and perform, right?"

A wry smile flashed in Chandler's eyes, but no one noticed.

"I'll go. ”

Joey was the first to respond.

"I'll go too. ”

Phoebe raised her hand high: "I like parties the most." ”

"I don't want to go. ”

Monica shook her head.

Although she was relieved to learn that Richard cried, the sequelae of the breakup made her still a little emotional.

"Go ahead. ”

Chandler advised, "You're the one who needs a party the most right now, don't you think?"

"Yes. ”

"Yes!"

"Together!"

"Together!"

The crowd immediately began to stir up.

“ok,ok。 ”

Monica couldn't stand the trouble, so she had to nod her head in agreement.

"Adam, Rachel, Rose, you all go?"

Chandler confirmed.

"Of course. ”

Naturally, the three Adams did not refuse.

It was the first time Chandler had invited them to his company.

Everyone was a little curious about what the advertising agency was like.

Switching to Chandler's former IT company, Monica and the others can't even remember what Chandler's job really is.

Is it true that you can't remember the long list of technical terms for data processing?

For Joey, perhaps.

But everyone is like this, which only means that they are not interested at all.

"Then it's decided!"

Chandler clapped his hands and said, "Tomorrow night at eight o'clock, I'm going to be there!"

“ok。 ”

The crowd responded in unison.

Chandler said a few more words, both reminding everyone to go, and then said that there was something to do and left directly.

Adam looked at his back and sensed something was wrong.

What's so special about tomorrow night's party?

Adam was looking forward to it.

The next night.

Everyone dressed up.

Chandler said he needed to organize the party, so he went early.

Adam drove Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Rose, and Joey to Chandler's company at the address Chandler had given.

In the end, it is a large advertising company, and the party is of a high grade.

Adam and the others showed their invitations and went in.

"Wow! ”

When Joey saw that the buffet was full of food, his eyes lit up, and he walked over without saying a word.

"What about Chandler?"

Rachel looked around and wondered, "Why didn't you see him?"

"Maybe something, let's go over and look at Joey. ”

Adam followed the group to the independent table, reminded Joey to be reserved, and then mixed a cocktail for each of them.

"Wow! it's beautiful!"

Phoebe exclaimed as she held Adam's brilliant cocktail.

"Adam, when did you learn how to make cocktails?"

Rachel wondered.

"Do you still need to learn?"

Adam laughed, "Just look at it." ”

A year ago, when he was investigating William Harvard, he went to the bar where the other party was and watched William perform various bartending operations from afar.

With a high IQ, a strong memory, and flexible movements, he wants to copy William's fancy moves, not too simple.

He can easily do even the more fancy movements.

In line with the attitude that this is also a big trick of pickling girls, Adam observed for a few more days, went back and tried it a little, and easily learned the bartending technique that William Harval had practiced for a long time.

"I've never had such a good cocktail. ”

Phoebe took a sip and exclaimed in surprise, "What's the name of this cocktail?"

A cocktail is a mixed drink that is made up of a mixture of two or more liquors, beverages, juices, soft drinks, bright colors and unique flavors.

It's a bit like a big pot dish, anything can be added to it, and it simmers for a while, it all depends on personal preference.

Many people like to name their cocktails, and those that go viral include Margaret, Bloody Mary, Manhattan, Passion Coast, and so on.

The recipe for this classic cocktail is well-defined and the taste is familiar to the general public.

But there are many more cocktails that are made up at random by bar bartenders, both good and bad, depending on the individual's craft.

The cocktail that Adam concocted was obviously not drunk by anyone.

"Wow!"

Rachel took a sip and complimented, "It's really delicious, does it have a name?"

"Pawnshop No. 8. ”

Adam laughed playfully.

"Pawnshop Eight?"

Monica was speechless, "What's this weird name?

"Of course. ”

Adam laughed, "Legend has it that Lucifer set up a pawnshop in the fourth dimension to lure greedy souls to trade and harvest human souls.

The name of the pawnshop is No. 8 Pawnshop, because No. 8 Pawnshop accepts everything, not only the human soul, but also the seven emotions and six desires, just like this cocktail, you can have everything in it.

Anyone who makes a deal with Pawnshop Eight, even the most insignificant one, will be marked with darkness, and gradually turn to darkness, until finally the whole soul is harvested.

But the humans who have traded think they have earned it, and they can't stop it.

The mystery has been passed down through the ages, existing in the fourth degree of space, the No. 8 pawnshop is the point of no return, and only the pawn cannot be redeemed.

That's why I call this cocktail the No. 8 pawnshop. ”

"Oh God, it's a cup of devil's wine!"

Phoebe exclaimed, "No wonder it's so delicious!"

"And do you still drink?"

Adam laughed.

"Of course. ”

Phoebe drank it all in one gulp and handed the cup to Adam: "I've made a deal with you, I fell into the devil's trap, and I can't stop, so, another cup!"

"Me too!"

Joey was not far behind.

As Caroline met the Davo couple, who were so superstitious that they were dizzy, that there were fewer and fewer people who really had faith in this era.

Even though there are a lot of people who go to church every week, this behavior is more of an inevitable social custom, and there are not many young people who really believe.

The devil and God mean nothing to young people because they don't perform miracles.

"Is this story true?"

Rachel held the cocktail up in front of her eyes, muttered as she looked at the colorful and alluring colors inside.

"It's definitely fake. ”

Ross complained, "Haven't you read Adam's The Lord of Mysteries? There aren't too many of these strange things in it, maybe this is what the Lord of Mysteries will be in the next book." ”

"Huh. ”

Adam raised his glass and smiled noncommittally.
