167. The Lonely Eccentric
When Jin Lian was leaving, she also deliberately explained that Ling Long would take over the work of the cleaner who had resigned.
"Then I'll be the cleaner of our bar from now on...... What do you need to do?"
After Jin Lian and Mi Yan left, only Ling Long Liang Tian was left in the secret room on the second floor, the young dumb and the uncle Wang Bin, there were no women present at this time, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
"Brother Bin, I'll bother you to tell him about it that afternoon, I still have an important appointment here, so I'll leave first. Liang Tian yawned and was about to run away.
"You have a lot of every day, hurry up!" Wang Bin waved his hand impatiently.
"I ...... I ...... too," Dumb secretly looked at Ling Long and the three of them.
"What, you also have a date?" Wang Bin bit and said.
"My friend is sick...... Dumb hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, word by word.
"Okay, okay, don't make it up, I have a liver ache when I hear it...... You two, hurry up, immediately, immediately!
The entire hall was filled with Wang Bin's angry roar......
Liang Tian gave Ling Long a self-satisfied look, and then left the bar with a cigarette, Dumb bowed deeply to Ling Long, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the secret door...... At this time, only Ling Long and Wang Bin were left in the empty hall.
"This kid ......"
Wang Bin took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
"Brother Bin, are the staff at our bar just now?" Ling Long took the opportunity to ask.
Comfortably exhaling a puff of smoke, Wang Bin shook his head: "We belong to the 'Heterogeneous Association Group 4' in Hurricane City, and we belong to a small branch of the organization, so there are relatively few staff members......
After a pause, he continued: "But don't look at the small number of us, we do dirty work on weekdays, and the amount of tasks is still quite large. ”
"Oh......" Ling Long nodded, thoughtful.
Standing up, Wang Bin slapped the button on the table, only to hear the sound of a mechanical pull on the belt, and the secret door when Ling Long came was opened again.
"We went to the ground floor to talk, smoking is not allowed here. Wang Bin put his hands in his pockets and held a cigarette holder obliquely, looking like a big brother in society.
Following Wang Bin down to the first floor, Ling Long suddenly thought of a very serious question......
"Then, if we don't have a task on weekdays, what do we need to do?"
Wang Bin glanced at Ling Long and said with a smile: "Miscellaneous people, bars also need to be operated." ”
A dirty word hung on his lips, Ling Long couldn't wait to scold Li Qiuwen now, saying that he was joining the association, didn't this clearly mean that he wanted to work for him?
"You have to try to forget about the 'Alien Four' and just think of yourself as a bar employee. Wang Bin snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash.
"Okay......"
Ling Long was not only disappointed but also desperate at this time, he originally thought that the Abnormal Ability Association should be such a huge organization behind such a good name, but when he saw it with his own eyes, counting himself and Li Qiuwen, there were only seven people......
The most fucked up thing is that when you don't usually go on a mission, you have to become a real bar cleaner and cleaner!
Wang Bin saw Ling Long looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, and pointed to the safe passage of the bar: "Let's go over there first." ”
At the end of several booths, there is a security gate with an emergency evacuation sign painted underneath.
"It's a fingerprint recognition device. ”
Wang Bin touched the door with his finger, and after a crisp sound, the escape door slowly opened.
"When an outsider comes here, it opens another exit, which is the back door of the bar, and only people with certain fingerprints can open this secret room. Wang Bin thought for a while and added, "When you look back, your fingerprints will also be entered into the system." ”
"I didn't expect that there were so many hidden spaces hidden under the surface of ordinary bars. ”
All this was not a surprise to Ling Long, but it also made him feel a little bit of a mysterious organization.
Without speaking, Wang Bin led Ling Long into the secret room.
The space here is not very large, only 20 square meters, but the atmosphere in the room is very oppressive, making people feel a little breathless.
Wang Bin snapped his fingers, and the lights around the secret room turned on, and Ling Long could see some small objects of different forms placed in the middle of the room.
"Hairpins, fans, daggers, slippers, ......"
Ling Long silently glanced at the few items in the room, secretly saying that this was still a bit different from the arsenal he imagined......
"Routine, it can be regarded as handing over the work...... Wang Bin gently picked up the small silver hairpin, "This is what the previous cleaner left before his resignation, seeing things is like seeing people, and it can be regarded as letting her recognize your appearance, and bless you more at work in the future." ”
"Blessed?" Ling Long carefully took the hairpin, "Then the so-called 'resignation' refers to ......"
Wang Bin nodded: "These are the relics of the predecessors who have sacrificed in the Windy City Bar for generations. ”
Hearing this, Ling Long's palms trembled, and the silver-white hairpin seemed to have become sacred.
"Girl, this kid standing in front of you will take over your life in the future...... You have a spirit in heaven, and you can bless him to complete every mission safely. ”
Wang Bin put away his ruffian, stood up straight, and whispered reverently.
Scholar Wang Bin's appearance, Ling Long spread his hands to present the silver hairpin, and then bowed slowly.
After the handover ceremony, Ling Long returned the hairpin and followed Wang Bin silently out of the room.
Although Ling Long and this deceased "senior" had never met, the moment he took the hairpin, his heart felt as heavy as if a boulder had been pressed......
The two sat side by side in a card platform, Wang Bin lit a cigarette again, and looked at the rising smoke in a daze.
"The girl was your age when she first entered the bar, she was very nice, a kind and shy girl. ”
Wang Bin seemed to be talking to himself: "It's a pity that during a mission three months ago, her whereabouts were exposed and she was brutally killed by the enemy...... There was nothing left at the scene, even her body was disposed of by the other party. ”
Ling Long silently lowered his head, secretly sighing that life was fragile, but in this world where the strong are respected, when he died was not up to him.
"This silver hairpin was dropped when the girl was playing with Mi Yan before leaving...... Unexpectedly, now it has become her only relic. ”
Sighing, Wang Bin coughed twice and snuffed out the cigarette butt.
"Accustomed to seeing life and death, their hearts can no longer tolerate excess love...... When I saw you for the first time today, everyone must have remembered the girl who was two years earlier than you, just like me. ”
Ling Long was silent, and he understood why everyone was so indifferent to him...... In an organization that could die at any moment, the more friends you have, the more pressure you have to bear......
Being a lonely weirdo, not being sad when others leave, and not making others sad when they leave, may also be the best choice for them in desperation.
Wang Bin looked at Ling Long and said in a deep voice, "Are you really ready to receive your life at any time and die at any time?"
Facing Wang Bin's serious gaze, Ling Long responded in a low voice: "I don't know ...... either"
"But there are some things that I have to do with the help of the association...... For this, I think I can bear the most painful end. ”
Ling Long smiled and said.
