Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Enigmatic Man

Bar, Heart of the Styx.

The small light bulb on the bar signboard lazily exudes its own faint yellow light, waiting for the light of Yueyan Taiheng to take over its shift.

Day after day, year after year.

I don't know when I will lose my luster and be swept into the garbage heap, and where I will wander away.

Maybe it will hang on the sign of the Heart of Styx forever!

Lo and behold, the lazy and inferior little light bulb next to it has long since lost its ability to shine, but no one knows how long it has been here.

No one will notice, and no one will care.

The guests who come and go to the bar don't pay attention, they just want to come here for a drink, and where would they be interested in paying attention to the inconsequential little light bulb that no longer shines.

Even Lao Zhao, the owner here, never noticed the dim little light bulb on the signboard.

It's so inconspicuous, so insignificant to the world that no one even realizes it exists.

The light rain is like catkins, wandering with the wind, not knowing where it came from, not knowing the way back.

This rain is very small, but no matter how small the rain is, it can wet people's clothes, let alone a person who can't stand still.

Outside the Heart of the Styx.

A man, with a slender figure, a scruffy beard, ragged clothes, unbroken, and the yellowish light shone on the shirt, making it impossible to distinguish its original color, perhaps it was a gray shirt, but it was washed a little white.

The tousled beard crawled all over his chin like weeds, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not hide the deadly charm of this man, he was so perfect, simple and ordinary, but impossible to fault.

Wearing an equally gray mantle coat and an equally gray coat, the man looked at the sign of the Heart of Styx, at the small light bulbs that glowed on it, and just noticed the few bulbs on the sign that were no longer bright.

It was his first time here, and regular customers wouldn't look at the signboards, which was perhaps the most important reason why he discovered this secret.

Pedestrians passing by, with their lives and busyness, would not notice the man looking at the Heart of Styx sign, just as they would not notice the light bulb on the signboard that no longer glowed.

He had been standing here for a long time, and he must have been thinking about something.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stand here for so long.

The glass of the bar is opaque, so no one outside the bar can see what's going on inside the bar, but the man knows exactly what's going on inside.

He thought it was interesting, and the people in it were interesting.

Heart of Styx, he'd drunk it before, but I don't know how long ago.

But he still has a little impression, he never thought that he would meet here again, and he is a little nostalgic, but he doesn't know what the taste of this place is, or if it's just a coincidence.

He doesn't try to memorize things.

Therefore, what he remembers must not be ordinary.

Inside the bar.

All the people were already drunk, crazy shouts, crazy atmosphere, all the people were already drunk or excited and their faces were flushed.

Bai Xiaomei and Hades Lao Zhao are worshipping and want to become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex.

Bai Xiaomei, who was elated without heart and lungs, had clear eyes that exuded unprecedented light, extremely happy and excited.

And Lao Zhao, the king of Hades, was still dizzy, and he didn't understand why he was so strange just now, and he would agree to Bai Xiaomei and her to become a brother and sister of the opposite sex.

Obviously, he wanted to recognize Bai Xiaomei as his goddaughter, but it turned out that it was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, and he didn't know what to do.

The crazy atmosphere is pregnant with crazy behavior, not to mention that the bar is now a group of drunken and crazy drunks.

At this time, Yun Xiaotian was also one of these drunks, followed by the other drinkers in the bar, loudly coaxing, and shouted in unison: "Bow down!" Sworn! Sworn! ”。

Inside the bar, as if by magic, it was in a strange and strange atmosphere, but together with the Hades King Lao Zhao, no one felt a trace of abnormality.

Although the rain was light, it kept falling and fluttering, and I don't know how long it would be sprinkled.

Time passed little by little, and in the bar, Bai Xiaomei and Lao Zhao finally bowed to each other.

has already been released, the unscrupulous Lao Zhao, holding the wine bottle, raising his head, facing the wine bottle, regardless of the crazy hearty drink.

Facing the drunkards around him who were already drunk, Lao Zhao shouted loudly: "Today is a good day for me and Bai Xiaomei to worship, everyone drink as much as you want, and all the drinks are free." ”

If he hadn't been drunk, Lao Zhao would have thought that he was crazy.

In fact, there is no need to doubt that he has indeed gone crazy.

Hearing Lao Zhao announce that today's drinks were comprehensive, a group of soft muddy drunkards who were about to get drunk cheered up again, picked up all kinds of fine wines around them that they usually wanted to drink but were reluctant to buy, and poured them violently, burping, and sneering smirk.

After a while, the bar was drunk, and only Lao Zhao and a few old drunkards were left to hold on, raising their lead-filled arms from time to time and pouring a sips or two of wine.

Bai Xiaomei was already drunk and unconscious, pink and red, cute to the extreme, pouting from time to time, saying unclear dream words, and then seemed to have something to gain, and let out bursts of happy laughter.

"Boss, a cup of Styx Heart, plus a blue-mushroom flower"

Lao Zhao, who was already drunk, held his eyelids full of alcohol, looked at the man in front of him who didn't know when he walked in, and replied instinctively: "Sorry, we don't have blue mushrooms here." ”

"Forget it, just a cup of Heart Styx!"

The man outside the bar finally came in, looking at the drunken drinkers around him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if smiling.

Lao Zhao staggered into the bartending room, and the old drunkard who still had a trace of consciousness at the end of the bar finally fell drunk on the wine table.

The man, looking at Bai Xiaomei, was expressionless, but he was amazed in his heart, what a crystal clear girl, it is really rare! There is still such a pure and flawless heart in this turbid world.

He stretched out his hand and pinched Bai Xiaomei's flushed little face, very satisfied.

The man suddenly felt that he had to do something, looked at Bai Xiaomei's bright and fair forehead, and flicked his fingers.

At this moment, the man seemed to be one with the whole world, perceiving all the vitality around him, and the world no longer seemed to have any secrets for him.

He was both the smell of alcohol in the house, the drizzle of smashing outside the bar, the light bulbs that were no longer bright and dim, and the stars hidden by the clouds and rain.

How long is a moment, how long is a moment, that strange man, the wind is light, at this time he can't suppress the joy in his heart, and smiles slightly, if someone sees it, he will no longer praise what is alluring the country and the city, the real charming charm, indescribable.

The man's eyebrows and eyes had a hint of color, like a sailboat in the fog, finding the direction of sailing, the way back in the wind and rain, the channel to the other side, the way that belonged to him.

It's just a momentary smile, and no one knows.

Everything seemed to be nothing abnormal, there was no change in the slightest, and no one noticed it, but for the man, everything was completely different, and this world was no longer the same world.

Lao Zhao handed the wine to the front and back of the man, and then fell asleep on the wine table next to him.

The man, looking at the blue Heart of the Styx, who never made superfluous movements, took a rare sniff of the wine and drank it all.

The aftertaste was endless, perhaps because he was in such a good mood today, that this glass of wine seemed to be more delicious than what he had drunk before, which surprised him slightly.

He looked down at Lao Zhao, who was already drunk, a little curious, but not too concerned.

Finally, he looked at Yun Xiaotian, who was drunk next to Haishan.
