Volume 1 Winter Memories Chapter 227 Old Friends
December 15, 2017, 6:33 a.m.
The 48th rebirth.
The street was deserted, and all the shops were in a state because of the exchange meeting, but in the depths of a street corner, a black sign was flashing.
Night.
The name is simple and straightforward, but the dilapidated wooden doors look out of place with other shops, and even the only store sign with a bright spot is still on the ground.
Push the door in, greeted by the European decoration style, under the yellow dim light, all the time highlight the mystery of this shop, the room is small, but the interior decoration is surprisingly exquisite, red brick walls, yellow mural-like marble, sofas against the wall, a set of chairs in the middle of the hall, and a slightly burning candle on each table.
The dim lights flickered above the bar, and there were wine cabinets filled with foreign wines that had never been seen before, each of which looked very precious.
At this moment, in front of the bar on the side, the boy was lying in the corner with his head in his hands, the wine glasses on the table and the mist that had just dissipated from the ice cubes, and the yellow liquid gradually blurred under the illumination of the light.
"Boom!" the boy looked up and drank the liquid from the glass, put the glass in his hand, and said, "Boss, here is a ......."
Before he could finish speaking, a man appeared at the bar, his face flickering in the darkness due to the dim lighting.
"Bang bang bang bang - "
The yellow drink refilled the glass, and for a moment, the sound of running water filled the entire bar, and after a few moments, the man added two more square ice cubes to the glass, and after doing all this, slowly pushed the glass in front of the boy.
"Your wine. The man's voice was low, and he stated softly.
"This wine is bitter...... What's it called?" Mu Zeming looked at the wine glass and smiled.
"Ordinary brandy, just ice cubes for you. ”
"Brandy...... I've seen it on my phone before, but I didn't expect it to be this......" Mu Zeming took another sip and asked, "Boss, what time is it?"
"Six-three. Without hesitation, the man blurted out.
"Three moments, hehe, hehe, hehe...... Six-three-quarter, hehe! What an interesting one, three-quarter? haha, haha......" Mu Zeming laughed loudly.
"Is it going to start after all......
"By the way, boss, isn't it martial law now, why are you still in business?" Mu Zeming suddenly asked.
In the shadows, the man seemed to smile, and instead of answering Mu Zeming's question directly, he took out a glass from the counter and poured himself half a glass of wine.
"Wait for someone, wait for an old friend. ”
"Old friend, then you better close the door, now that the streets are gone, how can you have any friends...... The exchange ......meeting, hehe!
Mu Zeming took a sip of the wine in his hand, looked around, and said: "I really don't know how you do business, the bar is in this place, this is the most remote shop I have ever seen......!
"If you want me to say, close the shop, come with me! Don't look at me like this, I have a noodle shop on West Street! Although it is a noodle restaurant, not as tall as your bar, there are many people who eat every day...... It's better than your deserted bar!"
The man smiled but said nothing, he poured wine for Mu Zeming and himself again, and said, "Is it? I didn't expect you to be so professional. ”
Without waiting for the boss to finish pouring, Mu Zeming snatched the wine glass, drank it and said: "It's not professional, I told you, I opened a noodle restaurant myself...... Hehe, I'm really just a ...... who runs a noodle shop."
"By the way, how much does your wine cost? If it's too expensive, I can't drink too much......"
"Hehe, don't want money, you have taught me so much valuable experience, this bottle of wine, as if I invited you. ”
"Don't want money? haha, then I'll rest assured, tons and tons...... Boss, bring me a drink! To be honest, there are very few good people like you, so I can't drink your wine for nothing, come here, I'll tell you a secret......"
The man brought the wine, did not pause, leaned down, Mu Zeming half-squinted his eyes, and at the moment when the man leaned over, with the help of the faint light, he saw the other party's face clearly.
It's handsome, but it's also ordinary, and it seems like I've seen it somewhere...... Hehe, it looks like I drank too much......
"Come here...... I'll tell you secretly! I'm ...... Immortal!haha!haha!undy!undead!undead!haha......!haha I am immortal!"
Mu Zeming laughed, under the light, his smile was a little crazy, and his shaking body knocked over the wine in the glass, at that moment, the man smiled at the corner of his mouth, straightened up, and looked at the young man in front of him in the dark, his eyes flashed a touch of heat, but then he regained his calm.
"Why don't you laugh? I'm immortal! Don't you think it's funny?"
The man elegantly took a sip of the wine in his hand, the smile on his face was still the same, shook his head, and said softly: "It's not funny, why do you think it's funny?"
Mu Zeming's face froze, and the next moment, he looked tyrannical, stood up suddenly, grabbed the wine glass that was turned over on the table, threw it hard, and then overturned the glass on the counter, for a while, the sound of the glass hitting was deafening.
Bar glasses are generally sturdy, so the glasses just fell to the ground and didn't break.
After all the sounds were over, Mu Zeming stood in place, looked at the boss in the dark, and said in a trembling voice: "That's an immortal body......! Don't you think it's ridiculous......? Don't you think I'm a madman?"
As if nothing had happened, the man was still standing there, he was not angry at what Mu Zeming had done, nor was he ridiculous because of the so-called "immortal body", he just stood there, just like that, just quietly looking at Mu Zeming.
After a minute, the man squatted down and took out two new wine glasses from behind the counter, the wine was still the same bottle of brandy, Mu Zeming didn't hit it when he smashed it, the man uncorked it, and silently poured two more glasses of wine.
Then he picked up one of the cups and said, "You look like you're in trouble...... Because I don't feel immortal, on the contrary, I still feel envious...... Of course, as for why I don't think you're crazy...... Because you're not the first person to smash your glass at me, have you forgotten? I'm a bar, and there are people who get drunk every day. ”
Mu Zeming couldn't believe it, and continued: "You, do you think the immortal body is...... Is it a good thing?!"
The man laughed, "Of course, is there anything more exciting than not dying? If I had your ability, I wouldn't worry about the bar's turnover every day...... Hehe, I can sell the bar at a low price and use my power...... To be a superhero?"
"Hehe, it's just a joke, forget about superheroes, maybe I'll be an agent, like on TV, an agent with special abilities. ”
While the man was talking, Mu Zeming returned to the counter, he grabbed the glass of wine that belonged to him, drank it in a big gulp, drank it all, and after his mood stabilized, he said, "You don't understand, it's just your fantasy...... It's not a good thing to have this ability......"
"Even if it's like you say, ...... But I don't want to be a superhero, I'm just Mu Zeming, I'm just the owner of Xiao Ming Noodle Restaurant on West Street!"
"Huh. The man looked at Mu Zeming and smiled.
"Really......? Are you really so willing to be ordinary?"
"You...... What do you mean?" Mu Zeming suddenly stopped talking, and hurriedly took a sip of wine, but when the wine glass was brought to his mouth, he found that what he was holding was an empty glass.
"No one wants to be ordinary. Noodle shop owner, hehe, this is just an excuse for you to escape...... You are afraid, you are afraid, you are inferior, you feel that you are inferior to him, he can go off the rails, but you can only stay in your broken noodle restaurant!"
"Bell!" The wine glass was slammed on the table by the man, Mu Zeming's body went limp, and he almost subconsciously leaned back, and in the process of falling to the ground, he saw an electronic clock hanging on the wall on the side.
7:30 a.m.
The riots began, and the venue was ruled by the monsters, with corpses and entrails scattered everywhere, and people fleeing everywhere, but in the end, they would still be killed and eaten by the monsters......
But why do I feel pain......
And why is this pain so familiar......
I didn't go to the venue......
Why......
Mu Zeming was lying on the ground, he clearly felt that the blood in his body was trying to gather in his head, the suffocating feeling of oppression seemed to tear him apart, he kept struggling on the ground, shouting, but his voice was no longer sound, he tried to open his eyes, trying to see the scene in front of him.
The man didn't know when, he walked out of the bar, he walked quietly in front of Mu Zeming, and then slowly squatted down, and the next moment, a deep and a little banter sounded.
"Some fates can't be escaped, so do I, so does he, and you ...... Also. “
"Hehe, I've finally waited for you, my old friend......"
As soon as the words fell, blood flowed out of Mu Zeming's eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears, and just like that, at the last moment when Mu Zeming lost consciousness, he saw clearly the badge on the man's chest.
Qiu Jiu.
[Information that can be disclosed now]

When Mu Zeming was reborn in the 48th, he did not choose to go to the exchange meeting, but drank in a bar called "Night".
The owner of the bar is called Qiu Jiu, just like Qiu Jiu said, how can he not be an old friend to Mu Zeming?
