Chapter VII
I hesitated at the door for a moment, but I still had the courage to raise my legs and enter the door, but I was stopped by the woman at the door reaching out, "Low-level demon beast, can you enter here too?" she raised her slender eyebrows and smiled contemptuously.
I was stunned for a moment, I didn't know what to say for a while, and I was afraid that if she made a mistake, she would find out that I was human, and it would be bad. Just as I was about to turn to leave, the woman suddenly came over, sniffed deeply with her nose close to my body, and scratched my face with her long nails, and smiled evilly, "It's a person!"
I panicked as the woman opened her mouth, spat out her thin red tongue, and licked her blood-stained lipstick.
"Don't be afraid, since you're here, come in. The woman hesitated and pulled me in.
I was at a loss, and I said in my heart that I was really going to die here today? God, Ling Xiao didn't find it, this is really a loss for my wife and a soldier!
I was indignant at God's unfairness in my heart, but my body had been pulled indoors. Immediately, a waiter brought me a glass of red wine and handed it to me. I subconsciously reached out to pick it up, and suddenly it occurred to me that I was in a place full of monsters, so this wine may not be wine... Thinking like this, my hand froze there. The woman smiled softly, took the cup and stuffed it to me, and whispered, "You don't dare to drink it." He laughed as he spoke. I said to myself, yes, I just don't dare to drink it. The woman covered her mouth with her hands again, "I heard that the soul of fear is the most delicious, hehehehe." "I was shocked, I, it's really fake! The woman laughed, "Humans are all the same. It's really stupid. The woman said as she walked.
My heart moved, "Have you seen any other humans here?"
"A girl, about your age. ”
"So, where is she now?"
"Now?" the woman grinned, "now, it's very different from before!"
How different is it from before? What does that mean? I continued to ask, but the woman was impatient and ignored me.
I looked around and saw that the "people" in this bar were all in human form, and there were no monsters. Only then did I think of the meaning of the low-level demon beast that the woman said outside the door just now. It turns out that like the kind that retains the form of a monster, in the world of monsters, the level is not high. Even in the eyes of humanoid monsters who are also monsters, they are looked down upon.
There are about 20 people sitting in this bar now, all listening to music and chatting elegantly, and there is not even a big noise. I gradually relaxed, and said in my heart that this Huani City is a human place during the day, and these monsters don't come out until midnight, and they won't run to the residential areas to harass us, maybe they really won't eat people. And they were neither curious nor surprised by my arrival, and they even looked at me very little. I adjusted my breathing and sat down at the bar.
"Beautiful young lady, I made this cup especially for you. "When I looked back, the bartender was pushing me a glass of wine, the bottom was blue like the sea, and the inside was a red ice cube, and thick hoarfrost was spilling from the mouth, which was very beautiful.
I reached out and took it and thanked me, "It's beautiful." ”
"I hear," the bartender lowered his voice, "you're looking for a girl?"
My heart moved, "Have you seen it?"
"Is it called Ling Xiao?"
I excitedly said, "Yes, yes, where is she?"
The bartender suddenly stopped talking and pursed his lips and smiled faintly. I immediately rushed to Tianlinggai! This is more uncomfortable than usually chasing a TV series, and finally the finale of this day, but the power suddenly went out at home, and I couldn't see the feeling of watching the broadcast time!
"Where, where!" I shouted as I grabbed his arm, drawing the gaze of the others.
The bartender was also startled, shook my hand away, and smiled awkwardly at the others, "It's okay, it's okay, I drank too much." Then he whispered to me, "If you still want to see her, you'd better be quiet." ”
I hurriedly sat back in my seat, staring at him with two eyes, for fear that he would suddenly disappear into thin air. I finally had a clue from Ling Xiao, and I didn't want to give up.
The bartender said mysteriously, "I heard that she made a deal." ”
Deals? What deals? All sorts of violations of law and discipline immediately popped into my mind.
"We," continued the bartender, glancing at the woman and noticing that she hadn't noticed the two of us, "a phrase that's pretty much the same as it literally means, that is, what you want, you have to pay in exchange. ”
I can't help but wonder that everything in this Huani City doesn't need money, clothes, jewelry, food, and everything you need, and you don't have to work, or even grow old. What else do you want? What else do you want?
"What did Ling Xiao change?" I continued.
"Then I don't know, you're going to ask her yourself. ”
"But, where is Ling Xiao?"
The bartender grinned, "Want to know, you'll have to give me something in exchange." ”
I looked at his face full of intrigue and felt that nothing good must be good, but for Ling Xiao's sake, I still had the courage to ask him what he wanted.
The bartender reached out and nodded my head, "A piece of your soul." ”
Soul?
But if I lose a piece of my soul, what will happen to me? Will I become a youkai?
The bartender seemed to see through my thoughts, "Don't worry, the human soul is very powerful, I only need a small piece, it won't affect you or anything." To change or not to change?"
I gritted my teeth, and said in my heart that I would go out for the sake of Ling Xiao, "Change!"
The bartender took off his gloves and reached for my eyebrows, and in a moment, he suddenly bounced out, slammed into the wine cabinet, and then fell to the floor, shattering the bottle.
The woman suddenly flew down in front of us, a pair of pitch-black wings behind her fluttered, and she was gone. She looked at the bartender on the ground who was screaming in pain, grinned contemptuously, and said in a weird manner, "I told you not to do this anymore, and the wine money will be deducted from your salary." He turned to look at me and pointed to a small door in the shadows, "Go to the room at the end, they should know where your friends are." ”
I stretched out my hand and pushed the door open, and there was a noise in the middle of it, and there were single rooms lined up on the left and right of the long corridor, and in front of it, there was a dark door with a crow painted on it.
"Don't come again!" I heard the woman shout as I closed the door behind me.
At this time, my mobile phone vibrated again, I clicked on it and saw that Bai Yushu sent two blood-red words, "Run!"
Run? Bai Yushu knows I'm here? Isn't he out? How do you know what I'm doing? Could it be that he's been watching me all along? I suddenly looked left and right, trying to find Bai Yushu's traces, but there was nothing around but the dark gate.
He told me to run. Is there any danger here? However, as long as you open the door in front of you, you will know where Ling Xiao is, how can I give up Ling Xiao! That's my sister! I clenched my fist hard, yes, I can't run! I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!
After self-hypnosis, I knocked softly on the door, but no one answered. I reached out and pushed it, but the door was so heavy that I couldn't open it at all. I took a deep breath and used all my strength to finally push the door open. Inside the door, it was surprisingly quiet, but a strong smell of smoke rushed straight to the door.
He Shu sat diagonally on the sofa opposite the door, as if he had just woken up. On the left and right stood several horses dressed in black leather coats.
I almost blurted out, Brother Haonan, this street is covered by you? Is this exactly the sense of déjà vu of the movie "Crazy Boy".
But the reality was that my heart was pounding like a drum in my throat and eyes, and I felt an invisible sense of oppression, which made me feel a strong danger.
"Heh", He Shu sneered, "It turned out to be you." Why, when did you become interested in Hua Ni City at midnight?Earlier, if you had said it, I would have taken you and Ling Xiao to fly together!" This caused the horse boy next to him to laugh for a while.
"Where's Ling Xiao?" I mustered up the courage to question him.
He Shu smiled coldly, "She is different now and doesn't belong to you anymore." So, don't come back to her in the future. ”
"Yes, deal?"
"Not bad. She's free, you know, free. He Shu lit a cigarette and leisurely spit out a smoke ring. "Say you don't understand either, stupid human. ”
"You, aren't you human? Ling Xiao isn't human?" I stubbornly retorted to him with my pale words.
The horse boy beside him laughed again, and He Shu stood up, twisted his neck, and suddenly turned into a huge crow. A pair of blood-red eyes big enough to fit me! He opened his long, sharp mouth and let out a loud cry, "Wow!" I covered my ears and squatted on the ground in fright, and for only a second, He Shu appeared in front of me in human form as if nothing had happened.
He shook his shoulders easily, "Look, I'm not human." Ling Xiao, no. ”
What? Ling Xiao, not a human being? I opened my mouth wide in surprise! How could it be! The bits and pieces of our together passed through my brain, how could Ling Xiao not be a human being! I don't believe it!
I yelled that I didn't believe it, I didn't believe it, Ling Xiao was my college classmate, my best friend! We ate together, went shopping together, and worked together! Why did you suddenly say that she was not human! She was not human, so what was she? What is it?
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind the curtain, "Brother, let me talk to her." ”
I mechanically turned my head to look in that direction, and I saw a black hand resembling cement open the curtain, and a "birdman" with the smell of burnt paste came over. Its wings were full of holes, its body was emaciated, and it was still smoking, as if it were a crow that had been incompletely cremated.
He Shu's eyes turned gentle, and he asked softly, "Can you?"
The thing nodded. I noticed that with every step she took, a shallow fire-burned footprint was left on the floor.
He Shu walked over to help her sit down and patted her on the shoulder, and the thing nodded to him.
He Shu looked at me again, beckoned his horses and walked out of the room.
