Chapter 70: The Underground Colosseum
"Well, don't look at me like this, of course there are different measures in special places, just follow me." Lu Li looked at Jingye's disbelieving expression and said.
Lu Li took the lead, and Jing Ye followed him one step away. Jing Ye was not afraid that Lu Li would deceive him, but it was a little strange that a place for boxing would be located in this place.
Lu Li took Jingye to turn left, go straight, and turn right...... In this labyrinth-like place, there is no one left, and there is no one left in a place where there are already few people.
But after another left turn, the scene changed again. There are a lot of storefronts on the side of the road, all kinds of shops, bars, chess, card rooms, leisure halls, leisure and entertainment places, there is a very conspicuous bar in the middle of the road, its signboard is erected on the side of the road, bigger than other signs, flashing colorful lights, spinning and jumping, there are four words on it, the words "speakeasy" are written. There were a lot of people on the street, one after another, walking into the shops they wanted to go to, with smiles on their faces, but those smiles seemed so unreal, obviously smiling, they seemed to be telling others that their souls were struggling, screaming, roaring, and everything here could cover their pain and give them a superficial joy.
It's on the ground, but it's a speakeasy. Sedum thought as she looked at the sign.
Lu Li walked straight into the bar with Jing Ye, Jing Ye stopped Lu Li and said, "Lu Li, I'm not here to drink with you." It was a very cold tone.
Lu Li stopped, turned around, his expression became serious, and he finally looked like a big brother, or he was no longer a little brother. "Sedum, say okay, listen to me." With a serious expression, Lu Li said to Jingye in the voice of a deep middle-aged man.
Jing Ye stared at Lu Li for a while, did not speak, nodded, motioned to Lu Li, and listened to his arrangement.
Lu Li walked into the bar, sat down on the bar very naturally, and motioned for Sedum to sit next to him, and Sedum sat on it very obediently.
There were a lot of people in the bar, it was crowded, and there were very few spaces. The music was loud electro-rock, and many people ran to the center of the dance floor, swaying freely and freely to the music. The bar is very dim and only colorful neon lights, spinning around, shining on the faces of young or bewitching or addicted to vent themselves to the fullest, and the place that does not shine is the darkness that cannot be seen clearly, and only when you walk in can you see what is there.
The young bartender at the bar walked over with a smile and greeted Lu Li naturally: "Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I thought you wouldn't do this anymore." ”
"There are some things that are hard to explain." Lu Li said in embarrassment, with helplessness in his eyes.
"Yes, it's not easy. Brother Lu, what to drink? Is it still the same? The young bartender asked.
Lu Li thought for a moment and said, "No, let's have two mocktails." ”
The young bartender was a little surprised and said, "Brother Lu, it's only been a long time since I've started to eat vegetarian." However, his hands did not slow down, mixing cocktails.
The young bartender handed Lu Li a glass of wine and asked, "Who is this for whom?" ”
Lu Li pointed to Jing Ye, who was sitting next to him, did not speak, and began to drink the wine in his hand.
The young bartender puts the wine in front of Jingye. In fact, the young bartender had long paid attention to Jingye, who was sitting quietly on the side, but he didn't expect Jingye to come with Lu Li, and Jingye's cold temperament didn't look like he was with Lu Li at all.
"Brother Lu, who is this? Don't tell me about it. The young bartender asked with some curiosity.
Lu Li finished drinking the cocktail in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Jing Ye, and said, "This, let's tell you later, is the door open below?" ”
The young bartender was still looking forward to it, and was a little disappointed when he heard Lu Li say this, but he still replied to Lu Li seriously: "It's open, it should start soon, but, Brother Lu, are you sure you want to go over?" Who's that, isn't it already impossible to fight? The young bartender didn't mention George's name, not wanting Lu Li to think of the sad past, but he couldn't help but remind Lu Li.
"Well, let's go, Jingye." Lu Li replied calmly, put down the cocktail money, and called Jing Ye, who was in a daze looking at the cocktail on the table.
Sedum didn't take a sip of the cocktail, he knew what he was here for, and when he heard Lu Li's shout, Sedum retracted his gaze and followed Lu Li forward.
The young bartender's face was surprised, he stopped Lu Li and asked him the doubts in his heart: "Brother Lu, you don't want to take him there, do you?" "Is it okay for such a skinny person? The young bartender thought.
Lu Li didn't answer the young bartender's question, and waved his hand high at him with his back to the young bartender. But Lu Li's actions speak for themselves.
The young bartender sighed, shook his head, and said, "Alas, it's a pity, I still care about such a person with special feelings, it seems to be called Jingye!" Let's hope he lives a little longer! ”
The young bartender withdrew his gaze on Sedum and continued his bar work, and there was nothing a little person like him could do except sigh.
Jingye followed Lu Li as he walked through the crowd of people who were addicted to music and swaying on the dance floor. Suddenly, Sedum's left wrist is grabbed by a little girl with heavy makeup and strange clothes. Why do you say she must be a little girl? It's very simple, a heavy smoky makeup is not enough, she also paints her lips blood red, wears ripped denim clothes, and hangs some cute little accessories, if she wants to pretend to be mature, she still can't hide her immature heart.
The little girl smiled and said, "Handsome guy, you are so handsome, I like it very much, dance with me!" ”
Jing Ye glanced at the little girl, stretched out her right hand, pulled away the little girl's hand painted with colorful nails, and said, "Go home quickly!" In Jing Ye's eyes, this little girl is just a child who likes to be maverick and disobey her parents in the middle of the rebellious period. Seduma also wanted to be like this at one point, but in the end he lived as a good student, and he forgot why he was able to persist at that time.
The little girl was stunned, she didn't expect Jing Ye to answer like this. She thought that the man in front of her would promise her, and he would refuse her without looking back, but she didn't think about letting her go home.
"Hey, it's just that handsome, why do you order me?" The little girl thought of something, and her tone was a little harsh.
Jingye thought about it, he really didn't have that qualification, and the place he was going to now was incomparable to where the little girl was.
Sedum said, "It's me who has a lot of trouble. After speaking, Jingye looked for the figure of Lu Li, who had already gone away.
When the little girl saw that Jingye had admitted defeat so quickly, she suddenly felt bored, and said, "It's all your fault, I'm not interested, forget it, I'm going home." After the little girl finished speaking, she left the noisy and joyful dance floor and walked out.
Jingye watched the figure of the little girl disappear into the darkness of this chaotic and noisy bar, and then continued to search for Lu Li.
"Sedum, I'm here, what are you doing?" Lu Li, who lost Jingye, said angrily.
Jing Ye saw Lu Li by the wall, did not answer, and walked towards him.
Lu Li instructed again, and his tone was more serious: "Jingye, don't meddle next time, follow me, don't get lost." ”
Sedum finally answered Lu Li this time and said, "I will." ”
Lu Li walked forward again, and Jing Ye really followed Lu Li closely this time.
They walked into a private room in the bar, and there were several people drinking and playing cards in the private room, and they were not surprised at all when they saw Lu Li and Jing Ye coming in, they were still drinking their own wine and playing their own games.
Lu Li nodded to them and walked over to one of the walls on the side of the private room, which was a wooden wall, no different from the surrounding walls. However, when Lu Li gently pushed the small wall, it automatically recessed into it and opened, and it turned out to be a small door.
"Let's go." Lu Li said to Jing Ye. I walked in first. Jingye also walked in.
Inside this door is a passage, and the road in the passage is not big, but it is not small, and it can accommodate three people walking side by side. But Sedum still habitually walked behind Lu Li.
The passage is very short, you can see the head at a glance, there are snow-white walls all around, even the ceiling is white, only the floor is not white, but gray-black floor tiles, and you can't see anything on the ground.
Lu Li walked to the front wall, took something out of his arms, like a card, and put it on the ground in the left corner. Then, the snow-white wall in front of Lu Li slowly opened automatically to both sides, but this still didn't arrive, and what appeared in front of Jing Ye were two big men in shape, wearing black suits, black leather shoes, and black sunglasses, and they couldn't see their expressions. Behind them it looks like there should be an elevator.
One of them saw Lu Li and Jing Ye walking over, took off his sunglasses, revealed a pair of obscene little eyes, looked at Lu Li carefully, and when Lu Li got closer, he said, "Isn't this Brother Lu?" I thought I was looking at it wrong, but it turned out to be true. Brother Lu, is this going down? As he spoke, he also looked at Jingye who was standing behind, but Jingye kept his head down, his hat blocked his face, and he couldn't see it clearly, so he didn't look at it anymore.
The other man in black just nodded to Lu Li and didn't speak.
"Yes. Both of you have worked hard. Lu Li responded, pressed the button of the elevator, and took out Chinese cigarettes from his clothes pocket and handed them to them.
"Hard work is not counted, in terms of hard work, where can you compare to your brother Lu." There was complete mockery in the tone of the little eyes. Little Eyes took the cigarette and wanted to light it, but the other man in black who was on duty with him stopped him, and he didn't take the cigarette himself. Little Eyes thought about it and put down the cigarette.
Lu Li also knew what the responsibilities of the two of them were, so he put the cigarette back in his pocket.
"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Li replied lightly, not swayed by the words of the little eyes.
When the elevator arrived, Lu Li and Jingye walked into the elevator. Lu Li said: "Goodbye." "No more talking to the little eyes.
The little eyes smiled obscenely, waved his hand at Lu Li, and saw that Lu Li went down. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a person with the remark "Second Master", thinking: Lu Li, Lu Li, don't blame me, you caused a big Buddha yourself.
The mobile phone was connected, and the little eyes hurriedly said attentively: "Second master, Lu Li's kid is here, and now he is going to the second floor of the basement, and I will call you as soon as I see him." ”
"Good, good. This time, he must know who is the owner and who is the dog, and to be a dog is to be like a dog. There was an angry voice on the phone, followed by a burst of imperative laughter.
"Yes, yes, you're right." Although the little eyes made their scalp tingle when they heard it, they still didn't forget to flatter this "second master". After being a dog for a long time, you really become a dog, and you can't straighten your waist.
"Ding." The second basement floor has arrived. As soon as the elevator door opened, I heard a stirring male voice coming from the stereos all around: "Everyone, are you ready?" Then, our fierce underground duel match begins. Players are invited to play. ”
