The bar occupies a small area, the location is very remote, and there is only one shop still open in the deserted alley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info bar looks very old, the style is also very nostalgic, I don't know if the bar owner deliberately or really from that time to open the shop, the bar turned out to be a wooden plaque, even if it is a beer glass pattern represented by a colored light tube, but the sign is too old, the old is even black, the cloud-shaped plaque is written in vigorous and powerful italic Chinese characters "Red Star Bar" four big characters, and between "Red Star" and "Bar" there is even a star-shaped pattern that has lost its color, The ribbon-shaped subtitle below reads "Our store sells craft brewing Luzhou Laojiao all year round", which is also a Chinese character.

I don't know if the Japanese can understand so many Chinese characters, but the title is here, no one cares if you don't see it, no one cares if you don't understand it, as if this plaque is not for others to see, but a bit like the joint location, the right code is that one person says "bring me a pot of wine", and another person says "is it Luzhou Laojiao". However, this bar is not completely composed of Chinese signs, on a glass plaque facing the entrance of the alley, there is a laser with the word "BAR", and there is a menu of daily special snacks below, I don't know what kind of person the owner is, I know that such a small shop that does not occupy an important commercial strategic location will not have too many customers, but it is still updated every day to list new snacks, and old dishes are taken off the shelves.

Xia Lu looked at this bar hidden in the corner of the city, and couldn't help frowning a little, the glass plate next to it was obviously Admiralty technology, and it actually said "Today's special: fried cabbage with shredded potatoes", and some of the dilapidated solid wood doors seemed to be a little unable to withstand the wind and cold of Tokyo, making a creaking sound and trembling slightly. The table next to the steps was covered with snow, but the brass bells on the table were wiped clean. It was nearly one o'clock in the morning, and there were no taxis on the road, so Xia Lu and Guan Yi traveled a long way under the leadership of Keiichi Yamamoto to this dilapidated bar. Keiichi Yamamoto doesn't take the subway, according to Keiichi Yamamoto, the subway system in Tokyo has been fully monitored by Yuji Yamamoto's intelligence and system network of the Tokyo branch, and it is definitely unrealistic to take the subway, we just blew up Yuji's baby, and now he must be crazy all over Tokyo looking for us, if you want to escape from Japan, you have to escape from Tokyo first, and if you want to escape from Tokyo, we have to walk for an hour.

Although he didn't understand what Keiichi Yamamoto meant when he said "it takes an hour", Guan Yi still gave a more complete explanation, "Maybe Mr. Keiichi is going to take us to some safe harbor or something, and then the person in charge of the safe harbor will help us leave Tokyo."

So, the two followed Keiichi Yamamoto, who was carrying Artoria on his back, and trekked in the snow for an hour to this small bar that looked shabby, but had advanced facilities at the door, and it could be seen that the owner of this bar was Chinese.

Xia Lu and Guan Yi were freezing slightly, but Artoria, who was wearing Xia Lu's windbreaker and Guan Yi's down jacket, did fall asleep on Keiichi Yamamoto's thick back, and slept quite soundly, and the three of them couldn't bear to wake her up. But this is not a solution, fortunately, Xia Lu still has 20,000 yen on her, and the three of them took the money to buy three hot coffees from the vending machine on the street, although there are no sandwiches, but there are still a few small snacks such as potato chips. After exchanging 10,000 yuan for a satisfying snack, the three of them squatted on the side of the street and ate dinner in the cold wind of Tokyo. Fortunately, there was no street light on the street at night, otherwise passers-by saw a man and two women in ragged clothes, squatting on the side of the road eating potato chips and drinking coffee, fat and fat like Maitreya Buddha behind him There is also a bloodstained girl who has passed out in a coma, I am afraid that she will definitely run away and call the police to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department with her mobile phone.

Xia Lu finally understood, why this safe harbor is safe, even if the Japanese know Chinese characters, but it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese to know such a complex Chinese character, even if there is, it will not be realized to come here as early as this store, it is estimated that when you see the four words "Luzhou Laojiao", you will shake your head and think that this is a second-hand hardware store or something like this and lose patience, even if you see the word "BAR" on the glass plate, you will feel that this is a noun like "obstacle" because the menu below is also Chinese characters.

"Let's go, go in and have a look, it's very strange to buy at this bar, it's a bit like sake, but it tastes very mellow and doesn't taste like it." Keiichi Yamamoto didn't look back, he looked straight at the red solid wood shop door on the top of the five steps, slowly spoke, and exhaled a white breath, "It's absolutely safe here, I'm the only one in Japan who knows what this place is for." ”

"What for?" Xia Lu asked, while cautiously looking around to see if there were any tails following.

"This is a liaison station, a bit similar to a secret communication station, but the level here is not too high, as long as you want to check it out, but the streets of Tokyo have changed a lot in recent years, and the Admiralty's extensive website liaison station location page shows the street name of ten years ago, on the website here has long ceased to exist, not many people can find here, patronized by some old customers or Chinese, and then there are foreign members of the Admiralty." Keiichi Yamamoto walked towards the point door on the steps, and said as he walked, "It's very safe here, no one will find here, and it's very clean, and the liaison station opened by the Chinese in Japan never accepts Japanese." ”

"Then how did Mr. Keiichi find out about this?" Xia Lu asked with some curiosity.

"It should be a mission, the 'Shadow' passed through the port of Fujian and wanted to smuggle a batch of arms to Russia, but the land and air routes were strictly monitored by us, so we wanted to go by sea and land, pass through Japan, and then change ships in Hokkaido to bypass the Bering Strait to reach the Russian military port, and I was appointed to investigate this matter, that is, that is the address where I got this liaison station." Keiichi Yamamoto thought about it and said, stopped at the door of the bar, Guan Yi stepped forward and pushed the door open, Keiichi Yamamoto nodded and smiled at Guan Yi, and entered the bar first.

The door of the bar opened, and the melodious violin music came out of the bar, but I didn't expect this seemingly dilapidated solid wood door to have such a soundproofing ability, Xia Lu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she had a new evaluation of this bar.

"How's it going", Keiichi Yamamoto found a sofa and put Artoria on his back on the sofa, breathing a sigh of relief, "The bar is remote, there are not too many people, this is an ideal place to take refuge." ”

"Indeed." Guan Yi looked around at the environment in the bar, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "There are few people, there is no one here at all, what about the bartender, where is the bartender?" ”

Guan Yi walked towards the bar in the shape of solid wood and Gothic not far away. The bar is indeed not big from the façade, but the space inside is really not small, the wide hall is full of seven or eight square tables that can be used for five or six people, the edge of the hall is also separated by partitions of four independent spaces, there are sofa round tables inside, the walls are pasted with Gandhara style wallpaper, but the sofa is full of baroque lines, the independent space looks extremely contradictory, but there seems to be a sense of harmony in the contradictions in this team, and it does not seem to give people a sense of disgust. The bar is a little dimly lit, but it's definitely a hundred times brighter than the back warehouse in the Tokyo headquarters. But despite the spaciousness of the hall, there was no one in the bar, and as Guan Yi said, the bartender wasn't even wiping his glasses in boredom behind the bar. On the other half of the wall hang several stalls and photo frames, framed towards black and white photos, mostly several Chinese in long coats standing shoulder to shoulder, grinning heartlessly, shouting eggplants into the flash.

One of the photos caught Xia Lu's attention, and Xia Lu had a puzzled look on her face, as if she had been sucked into her soul, and walked towards the painting.

"This is ......" Xia Lu fixed her eyes and looked at the person in the painting carefully, wearing a white suit, black and white hair, and the angular middle-aged man's face, although there was a smile on the face of Hexun, it was not difficult to see the trace of anger between the eyebrows.

"Oh, mom, isn't this ......" Xia Lu was startled by herself, and of course by the person in the painting, "Isn't this Mr. Feng?" ”

"This bar has a lot of history, and it's very important that the Chinese members of the Admiralty have come here to take pictures to commemorate it." Keiichi Yamamoto didn't know when he walked behind Xia Lu, looked at the dozens of photos on the wall with a sigh on his face, his eyes were slightly closed, and he sighed on his back, "I have met most of the people above, but many of them have died, some died in space, some died on the ground, and it seems that only Feng Fengxiang survived." ”

"How so." Xia Lu covered her mouth slightly, with a slight "unbelievable" expression on her face, "So many people, all dead?" ”

"Well, the Pilgrims at that time had a strong military strength, and our early warships were built on the ground and assembled in space, and the functions were completely not up to the standard of space operations, but the battle was really tragic, from the first battle to defend the solar system, until the sixth and seventh battles for the defense of the solar system, the St. Thomas shipyard was completed, and we have been surrounding the solar system with the lives of warships and crews." Keiichi Yamamoto's voice trembled a little, "I was serving on the cruiser 'New Missouri' in the Fifth Fleet of the 'Praetorian Guard' fleet, I have seen a lot of such life and death, but my heart has never been numb, the crew at that time was really a hero, a hero that no one can replace." ”

"Well said." A voice came from the direction of the bar, followed by a series of applause. The hearty laughter mixed with the sound of leather shoes hitting each other slowly moved in the direction of Yamamoto Keiichi, listening to a standard Shandong accent Chinese, Yamamoto Keiichi smiled slightly before turning his head, put his hands in his pockets, and bowed his head slightly.

"Mr. Bartender?" Guan Yi chased after him, "Are you Chinese?" ”

"Don't you understand the sign at the door?" The visitor did not speak, but Yamamoto Keiichi answered Guan Yi's question, slowly turned around, and Yamamoto Keiichi looked at the bartender who came out from behind the bar, "This is an authentic Chinese, who has been in Japan for nearly twelve years and can't speak a word of Japanese except for welcoming Guanlin." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, I'm really not interested in the immature language, and the Japanese language is too complicated, and it's hiragana and kanji." The bartender shrugged helplessly, "I don't accept any Japanese people here except Keiichi Yamamoto, so if there are any Japanese among you, please leave consciously." ”

"No, no, no." Keiichi Yamamoto waved his hand, "Three little girls, one Chinese, one French-Chinese, and one I don't know who it is, she didn't say it herself." ”

"Three?" The bartender was stunned for a moment, "Where's the other one?" ”

"Hey, over there, I was not lightly injured and passed out." Keiichi Yamamoto's face showed a little seriousness, "The blood loss is a bit much, you can watch and help deal with it, and introduce yourself later." ”

"Then why did you come to me?" The bartender walked towards the cubicle at the edge of the hall, and at a glance saw Artoria lying on the sofa in the cubicle, her conspicuous red hair was so blinking that it was not easy to notice, "You should go to the hospital, I don't need surgery here." Do you want me to call an ambulance for you? ”

"Nope." Keiichi Yamamoto replied without the slightest hesitation, "If I could, I wouldn't have come directly to you." ”

"What's going on? It's so serious. The bartender untied the strip of cloth that wrapped around Artoria's wound and examined the wound, the blood still did not scab, but hung a slight frost, although it stopped the bleeding, but if it continued like this, the wound would definitely die due to ischemia, "It's so bad, it looks like it was slashed by a blunt knife." ”

The bartender frowned, turned back to Guan Yi and said, "Little girl, do me a favor, go and help me bring the first aid kit under the bar." ”

"Oh, oh," Guan Yi nodded hurriedly, trotted down the bar, fumbled for a while, took out a white military first-aid kit, and walked quickly to the bartender, "Here." ”

"Don't give it to me, I say you take it." The bartender didn't look back, "New bandages and tetanus shots, and frostbite shots." ”

"Yes, got it." Guan Yi hurriedly put the first-aid kit on the round table, opened the lid of the box, and looked for it in the first-aid kit, "Bandages, tetanus shots, and, I found them, frostbite needles." To give. ”

Guan Yi stretched out his hand and handed the frostbite injection to the bartender, and he still didn't look back, while carefully observing Artoria's slightly blackened wound, he grabbed the frostbite injection from Guan Yi's hand, tore open the plastic packaging bag outside, and pulled out the soft plastic tube on the needle.

"Whew~" The bartender exhaled deeply, and put the needle to the place at eye level, in order to prevent the need for a larger dose in an emergency, an extra ten milliliters of medicine were added to each tube of injection, but the current situation does not require a large dose, and everyone present knows that if the frostbite injection developed by the Admiralty Medical Center is too strong, it is likely to cause side effects after the injection. The thumb pressed against the piston and slowly pushed forward, and the needle began to squirt out a transparent and slightly viscous liquid, and in the plastic needle tube of the same name, the black piston moved slowly, pushing the excess milliliter of medicine out of the needle.

"It may hurt a little, but bear with me." The bartender didn't know if Artoria could hear it, and after whispering in Artoria's ear, he gently plunged the needle into the meridians of Artoria's right arm. With a slight pressure on his thumb, he injected all twenty milliliters of the syringe into Artoria's bloodstream.

"Tetanus shots." The bartender threw the used needle aside, took the tetanus needle handed by Guan Yi, and still discharged the excess needle from the needle tube and injected it into Artoria's veins. The two potions soon began to work, most notably Artoria's frozen wound regaining its blood color, and the blood thawing from the wound began to drip downwards drop by drop. Artoria's brow furrowed slightly, even after she was unconscious, Artoria was still suffering from the sharp pain of resuscitation from her wounds.

"Hurry up, self-healing foam and bandages!" The bartender visibly raised his voice and ordered at Guan Yi.

"Got it." After fumbling around in the first-aid kit for a while, Guan Yi found a self-healing foam, inserted the tape-attached straw on the bottle into the nozzle, shook it well, and handed it to the bartender with the bandage.

"Thank you." The bartender thanked him softly, and then passed the self-healing foam and bandage, sprayed the self-healing foam evenly on Artoria's wound, and then tightly strangled Artoria's wound with a clean bandage. After dealing with the emergency, the bartender took out a blanket from the cabinet next to the cubicle and put it over Artoria's body.

"Thank you so much." Guan Yi thanked her, her eyes filled with tears.

"It's okay, it's okay." The bartender returned his hand and stood up straight, "Say, what's going on, where did this injury come from?" And why did you come to me? ”

"Why don't you introduce yourself first? Aren't Chinese all willing to introduce themselves first when strangers meet? Keiichi Yamamoto pulled out a chair from the side and sat down, "Take out the sake I sent here last time, and make some food, we're a little hungry." ”

"That's a lot." The bartender glared at Keiichi Yamamoto fiercely, "Wait a minute, the kitchen is off, if you want to eat, I'll make it for you." ”

With that, the bartender turned around and returned to the curtain behind the bar, and after a few fires on the stove, the bartender began to cook.

"What is the origin of this man? Doesn't look like a commissioner from the Admiralty? Xia Lu frowned and sat down next to Keiichi Yamamoto, and asked Keiichi Uemoto, "I have to be cautious in times of emergency. ”

"Don't worry, no problem." Keiichi Yamamoto waved his hand, "He opened a store in Japan a long time ago, and he is the administrator of the liaison station sent to Japan by the Chinese branch, and he is also the person in charge of the safe harbor. However, the other safe harbors are all openly managed by people from the Japanese branch, and only this private safe harbor is dedicated to providing security for members of the Admiralty other than the Japanese commissioner, and it is safe to come here, and he does not leave the safe harbor often, so he knows very little about the outside world. ”

"Just because you say that, you can't completely judge that this person can definitely be trusted." Xia Lu whispered to Keiichi Yamamoto, "I will take action if the situation requires it." ”

"Whatever you want, I trust this person very much anyway." Keiichi Yamamoto sighed, "He saved my life." ”

"Saved Mr. Keiichi's life?" Xia Lu was stunned.

"That's right, that's what I'm talking about, because the speed of progress was so fast, and without careful planning and preparation, I took five commissioners to find the warehouse where the Shadow was hiding arms in Hokkaido. Unfortunately, Shadow was guarded by personnel at the time, and we were soon trapped in the warehouse and unable to move, but it was this man who rescued us with a special task force from the Chinese branch. The expression on Yamamoto's face was a little melancholy, "Although I was safe and sound, but none of the five commissioners who were traveling with me could escape, the 'Shadow' detonated the warehouse at the last moment, and a total of thirteen of us, five commissioners and three members of the action team did not have time to board the evacuated helicopter. ”

The more Keiichi Yamamoto spoke, the more gloomy his expression became, and he lowered his head slightly.

"The man was injured at the time, and the tendon of his left leg was torn by a piece of metal. Even though it was cured in the end, it still left sequelae. ”

Xia Lu silently listened to Yamamoto Keiichi's story and did not interject, Xia Lu felt sorry for Yamamoto Keiichi. Yamamoto Keiichi said that Xia Lu had not heard of this, maybe Xia Lu had not studied at Newcastle College at that time, or it was possible that someone could cover up this matter and store it as a secret in the archives of XX and no longer see the light of day. This is the case for many times when the Council resolves it, and even if many people die in the cause, as long as the incident is over and stored in the archives, they will not be named.
