The woman lowered her head, stroked her forehead with her left hand, and snickered, as if laughing at her childish self, she looked up and looked at Mo Yuan again—tall, strong, but not strong, her eyes were gentle, but they were sad—she knew what he was planning, but so bother, she was in control of everything here, along with their life and death, because she had miracles.

"Okay. She slowly walked to the table where Mo Yuan was, and when she came to the table, she put the pistol she held in her right hand on the corner of the table, the shiny metal gun body reflected Xiaolan's weak face, she made a gesture to the waiter standing aside, and sat opposite Xiaolan.

Seeing this, Mo Yuan smiled and nodded to the woman, then pulled out the chair next to Xiaolan and sat down.

Xiaolan looked at the woman sitting opposite without any choice but to have no expression on her face, she secretly bit the granular object in her mouth, she knew that it was a drug that neutralized the anesthetic.

The waiter came over respectfully, waiting for the woman's instructions.

"Just a drink...... the woman muttered to herself, "Did the guest get any drinks before?"

The waiter inquired and replied, "Ordered an aperitif - Yuzhang vermouth, semi-sweet, with ice." ”

"Well, then according to the guest's wishes. ”

"Yes. The waiter nodded and leaned away.

"If you ordered absinthe as an aperitif, why choose a semi-sweet taste?" the woman asked, looking at Xiao Lan, she knew that Xiao Lan couldn't speak.

"I don't like bitter drinks. Mo Yuan replied.

"This is also the tacit understanding of the partner, right?" The woman still looked at Xiaolan and continued to ask, "Including the fact that you betrayed the blue eye, after I told him, he didn't have any resentment, or complaints, and he didn't even seem to be surprised, isn't it, you have already communicated with each other in some way, is this also the tacit understanding of the partner?" The woman's eyes widened slightly, bright and sharp.

Xiaolan's face still didn't have any expression, but she looked at the woman quietly.

"Oh, this anesthetic ingredient is amazing. After some intentional or unintentional provocation, the woman felt a little bored.

"How do we leave?" Mo Yuan changed the subject, "Do you leave the gate openly?"

"Actually, at first, I was skeptical of what you said – that you turned off the surveillance – but 'nine minutes and thirty-two seconds' have long since ...... been the shooting," the woman glanced at the main entrance of the restaurant, "and I began to believe that everything here is indeed unknown to the outside world, and even then, we will leave the way we originally planned." ”

"The way it was originally planned ......," Mo Yuan repeated.

"Yes, who knows, those monitoring devices will secretly start working again at some point", the woman winked at Mo Yuan, "Perhaps, at this moment, the door has long been impassable." ”

Xiaolan, who was expressionless, always looked at the woman, and her body always maintained the sitting posture that Mo Yuan adjusted for her before, however, changes were taking place in her body, and the effect of the drug had gradually taken effect. For a moment, she wondered if there was a better way to administer the drug than a deep kiss—safer, more covert, more effective, more direct—but for a moment, she was back in front of her, "10 minutes to go," she heard clearly, and after that moment, she had been silently counting the time.

The waiter came over with a plate.

On the plate stood a bottle of absinthe, a bottle of ice water, a glass filled with ice cubes, and three specially made wine glasses – reservoir-shaped glasses with a retro shape and a distinctive spherical area at the bottom indicating the amount of absinthe that should have been poured in the first place – about thirty milliliters.

The waiter placed the three wine glasses in front of the woman, Xiaolan and Mo Yuan in turn, and began to pour the wine.

"Very authentic. Mo Yuan watched as absinthe gradually filled the bottom of his glass.

"Thank you," the woman nodded, "I like it here, but it can't be used as a safe place anymore." ”

"It's a bit of a shame. Mo Yuan said.

After all three glasses had been poured with absinthe, the waiter was about to place the perforated absinthe spoon horizontally on the glass, "It's already a semi-sweet taste," and the woman waved her left hand, "I don't need to add any more sugar." ”

The waiter nodded, removed the flat spoon for the woman, and looked at Mo Yuan again, waiting for instructions.

"I'm afraid of suffering. ”

So, the waiter continued to place the flat spoon horizontally on Mo Yuan and Xiaolan's wine glasses. Then, place a sugar cube over the perforated area of the flat spoon.

"Let's serve the guests first. The woman instructed.

"Yes. ”

Mo Yuan watched as the ice water in the waiter's hand slowly dripped around the sugar cubes, which gradually dissolved.

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

Time, like iced water mixed with sugar, slowly drips into the vermouth, and gradually, the color of the wine becomes cloudy, it is an indescribable state, complex and subtle.

"Ten seconds. Xiaolan seemed to hear Mo Yuan's heart.

"Nine seconds. Mo Yuan still stared at the dripping ice water, as well as the strange turbid scene.

"Eight seconds. ”

"This absinthe is very good", Mo Yuan praised, "the hanging milk effect is obvious, and it is also very attractive." ”

"Hmm. The woman nodded in agreement.

"Seven seconds. ”

"Six seconds. ”

"I don't know when I'll be able to enjoy such authentic vermouth again. Mo Yuan sighed.

"Five seconds. ”

"Four seconds. ”

"It's not difficult," said the woman, "and we still have a lot of antique vermouth." ”

Tick - Answer -

"Intense bright light, everyone, will be incapacitated in an instant. Can Xiaolan hold on, right?" Mo Yuan took a deep breath, his heartbeat quickened in restraint, "I want to regain my mobility as soon as possible." ”

Tick - Answer -

"Bright light?" Xiao Lan confirmed the information in her memory for the last time, and her hands gradually clenched into fists.

Tick - Answer -

At the last second, accompanied by ice water, it dripped into the cloudy absinthe, and nothing happened except for the cloudiness.
