Chapter 4: Under the Lethe River

The bell was tightened on the wrist, and it was embedded in the skin as if it were alive, and almost in a flash, the string of the bell melted into the body and turned into a circle of red tattoos.

Looking at the bell itself, it almost grows in the flesh, and every time you shake it, you can feel a gentle tugging sensation from the skin.

"Hiss......" Yu Xing's expression naturally took a light breath, and he didn't know what he was sighing.

The faces of the others became directly ugly, especially the two girls who formed a team, Orange and Xiaoyan, who were even more frightened and did not dare to touch their wrists.

It doesn't hurt, but it's disturbing enough...... It's a wrist here, if something happens, it's not the same as cutting your wrists!

"Go ahead, come back here in six hours, and I'll settle your salary." The foreman waved his hand and drove the jealous deducers out.

After going out of the locker room, Xiao Yan's crying voice sounded behind Yu Xing: "Orange, what to do, I'm afraid!" ”

Yu Xing's attention was divided back, and he saw that although Orange himself was also pale, he still stroked Xiaoyan's back and comforted softly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, we will be fine if we follow the rules, with me." ”

It seems that these two are really newcomers, and it is likely that they were forced into the deduction game by the system when the time came.

Yu is so active that the system can't find fault with it, so the system hasn't reminded him, in fact, a deducer below the differentiation level must enter the game every half a month, and if he doesn't take the initiative, he will be forced.

This evasion is understandable, but it often implies the fear of the deducer himself, and usually, such people do not end very well.

"Where are we going?" Zhao Yijiu interrupted Yu Xing's thoughts.

Yu Xing retracted his attention and didn't speak, just pointed to a sign in front of him.

The three halls on the first floor have a dividing line, and each of the two halls will be narrowed, and a double-sided sign will be placed at the entrance.

The locker room is a separate one, and the sign at the entrance to the hall next to it is called - The Other Side.

Zhao Yijiu understood what he meant, not that they wanted to stay in the wine café on the other side, but that they would go to the wine café on the other side first, avoid the others, and then discuss the plan of action.

The two of them left the six people who were still thinking in place, and took the lead in walking towards the wine café.

Yu Xing lowered his voice and said, "Let's go to Lethe." ”

If you draw a floor plan of the topography of the first floor of the bar, the other side, Huangquan and Lechuan are connected from left to right, and the entrance is on the side of the Huangquan discotheque.

When Yu Xingjin was deducing, he appeared directly in the Huangquan disco in the middle, and then before he had time to take a look at the hall in Lechuan, he passed by the wine café on the other side and went to the dressing room.

Zhao Yijiu said lightly: "Because of the stairs? ”

"That's right." Yu Xing looked at the ghost guests in the wine café on the other side of the occasional glance, and remained silent.

It was because the bar had a second floor, and they didn't see a staircase all the way to the locker room, so it can be guessed that the staircase leading to the second floor should be near Lethe Liquor Cafe.

It is most convenient for them to go up and down the stairs close to the stairs, and they can also observe the other groups going up and down the stairs, and there is another important reason......

Yu Xing suddenly quickened his pace and squeezed into the crowd of people in the Huangquan Disco.

Zhao Yijiu didn't quite understand what was wrong with him, and when he looked back with some feeling, he saw a woman in a red dress standing up at some point, looking at Yu Xing's back that was submerged by the heavily writhing figure, with a slightly disappointed expression.

If Yu Xing hadn't slipped away fast enough, she might have caught up.

Zhao Yijiu: "......"

Without saying anything, he silently turned his face, let go of the crowd of jumpers, and walked towards Lechuan Wine Cafe.

……

It's dangerous, it's dangerous.

Yu Xing successfully passed through the noisy group of ghosts, and his heart palpitated.

That red-clothed ghost hasn't given up on him yet!

With his current status as a waiter, if the red-clothed ghost makes any excessive demands, he is not afraid of being forced, but he is afraid that he will accidentally turn his face and beat the red-clothed ghost.

That's a lot of fun, he's likely to be beaten up immediately and then complained.

Soon, Zhao Yijiu followed, didn't ask anything, but crossed him into the Lechuan Hall.

Speaking of which, all the nouns in this "Ghost Bar" are quite interesting, corresponding to the ancient Chinese legend of the underworld.

Lethe refers to the Lethe River.

Many people think that Huangquan is the river that needs to be ferried in the underworld, but in fact, this is a misunderstanding, the river that the yin soul wants to cross is called Lethe River.

Biluo Yellow Spring, Biluo is the sky, Yellow Spring is underground, although Huangquan also has the title of one of the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, but in fact it is an underground road.

Legend has it that after the death of the person, through the ghost to lead the way, step through the ghost gate, walk through the Huangquan Road, before entering the underworld, it is divided into two banks by the Lechuan River, a Nai He bridge above the Lethe River, on the bridge drank Meng Po soup, the past is all vain.

The water of the Lechuan River is blood-yellow, and the Lethe wine and café in the Ghost Bar also use this hue.

The dim light illuminates every booth hazy, the dark yellow bar looks gorgeous and textured, against the wall, the wine bottles in the cabinet are filled with intoxicating and beautiful liquids, and the bartender is a woman of unknown age, shrouded in a black light veil, covering her mouth and nose, revealing only a pair of pure black eyes with no whites.

Yu Xing saw the staircase in the corner, this staircase was all ink-colored, and there were blood-red embellishments on the handrails, and he almost immediately thought of what this staircase represented - the Nai He Bridge.

So, is the second floor symbolizing the underworld?

"Give us the drink list."

Suddenly, Zhao Yijiu's voice sounded next to Yu Xing, and Yu Xing saw that Zhao Yijiu actually walked to the bar and took the initiative to talk to the female bartender.

There are only a few people sitting in front of the bar, probably because the night show has just begun, and for ghosts, night is a more suitable time to enjoy, so there are not many people in the Lechuan Hall, which is in stark contrast to the bustle of the Huangquan Hall.

The wine list, which states the names and prices of all the drinks sold, is convenient for selling to customers.

Yu Xing glanced at him more: I didn't expect Zhao Yijiu to be quite experienced.

He also walked over.

"You're the new waiter today." Although this bartender is also dressed strangely, it is obviously more comfortable than the male bartender with a white powder face in the hall on the other side, her voice is soft, and she skillfully took out a piece of paper from under the cabinet and handed it to Zhao Yijiu, "Here, according to the rules, you have to complete my requirements in order to get the complete wine list." ”

Zhao Yijiu nodded expressionlessly, took the paper and looked at it, and then handed it to Yu Xing.

Yu Xing glanced at it and saw that the note read:

An evil ghost climbed up from the ferry boat of the Lechuan River, and it bribed the ferryman to come to the Nai He Bridge. It was supposed to linger forever in the river. Please find this evil ghost in this hall and trick it into buying the liquor called "Under the Lethe".

In addition, there are more than 20 names of drinks written on this piece of paper, but the introduction and price list of the drinks are missing.

Devil's Tongue, Remorse Cocktail, Under the Lethe River, Insatiable Desire, Melancholy Ghost, Impermanence Cold Beer...... There are more than 20 kinds, and the most expensive one, Meng Po soup.

"That's interesting." Yu Xing muttered, glanced at Zhao Yijiu, and turned around to start the task.

The bartender's hand paused, and there was even an emotion called dazed in his dark eyes.

Wait a minute...... You haven't asked me why I have such rules, how strong is this demon?

Are you so enthusiastic about your work?
