Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Hive Nightclub
It's just the morning...... Although it was a Saturday morning, the nightclub was already overcrowded.
Russell saw countless men and women in masks sitting on different couches drinking wine.
There is a blue-red light above their heads that can flash people to photosensitive epilepsy, and in the center is a catwoman with a high blue ponytail, and the spirit relatives are obviously blue cats. On the right side of her body is full of Wen Qing, and on the other side there is a circle of metal iron hands that are significantly larger than the right hand.
- It was the Rocketeer-MK3 model, which was characterized by the ability to fire hooks and payloads of up to two hundred kilograms. Other than that, there are no advantages, and even the grip is not easy to hold securely, and it is not possible to control the fingers too finely.
Russell's professionalism made him subconsciously begin to analyze the prosthetic models he saw.
That's the old model from more than ten years ago. It's not Sogo's style, it's the rugged and durable style of Shenzhi Heavy Industries.
If it was a prosthetic body produced on Sogo Island, it would definitely take less than ten years, or maybe three years, to replace it. It's not that it can't be that durable...... The main thing is the prosthesis, if it breaks too slowly, no one will buy a new model, it must be an old habit to use.
Prosthetics are broken and insensitive, and it is also an excuse for people to buy the latest prosthetics to show off to their classmates and colleagues. But if you don't have the money, you have to go to the repair shop to replace the parts, and the tinkering can still be used for a few more years.
Therefore, how to reduce the durability of the prosthetic body of your design without leaving a trace, and strive not to let users crack the service life through micro-transformation and flashing, is also a very complicated science.
Shenzhi Heavy Industries is not primarily a prosthetic company, so they don't need to think about upgrading. These are the scraps for them to make engineering robots.
In line with the concept of "I think that the things installed on the robot should also be able to be installed on people", it highlights a large amount of tubes, which is full of stupid and black coarse, and the feeding is very sufficient, but the design of anti-rejection reaction and convenience is much worse.
And this "stupid big black coarse prosthetic user" Catwoman is not much more burly than Russell, but rather thinner. There was clearly nothing to be said about her breasts, and from her exposed lower chest and waist, even the jagged ribs could be seen.
The band behind her was even more peculiarβthe drummer had a broken horn and a scar on his shoulder; The bassist is a thin, scaly man with his mouth sewn up with black thread, and the guitarist is a handsome fox with long blond hair and a long fluffy tail.
As Russell entered, Catwoman was roaring loudly and loudly, making a long, loud sound.
The lights above were flickering violently because of this, and the entire floor of the nightclub seemed to shake. Russell clearly felt his heart buzzing.
It wasn't until Russell saw the band on stage that Catwoman finished her singing.
Her right hand, which was not a prosthetic hand, held up her microphone stand, and the masked people below screamed passionately.
It wasn't the microphone, it was the whole microphone standβit was only when she was straining that Russell realized that her rather slender right arm, from shoulder to forearm, was full of muscle. He has a very strong sense of power.
People try to raise their glasses and spill their drinks on Catwoman on the stage. She didn't dodge or dodge, and was instantly drenched and exuded a strong smell of alcohol.
She had a proud smile on her face, and as if she were holding a sword, she slowly pointed the microphone stand at the people.
The people who were pointed at it screamed and cheered.
It was then that Russell realized something.
β¦β¦ It's a nightclub, it's a speakeasy!
And, except for yourself.
Judging by the brightness and timbre of the screams, Russell seemed to be almost, almost, ...... All are women of different ages.
INTERVIEWER Was your initial concern a little unnecessary?
His expression suddenly became very subtle.
Come to think of it, it is.
The bee population belongs to a matriarchal society, and he should have thought of it when he first heard the name "hive......
"Yo."
At this moment, the two girls at the door also rushed over.
The bear-eared girl patted Russell's shoulder with a big grin: "Why are you running so fast, I'm not a carnivore like a wolf or a leopard." β
Russell was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized the hidden meaning of her words:
Is this an allusion that Russell is deliberately fleeing with his back to her, trying to arouse the desire of the other party to hunt?
"Huh?"
The bear-eared girl is very smart.
She looked at Russell's hesitant appearance and guessed something: "You can't be going to the wrong door." Or is it ...... Newcomer? Is this the first time you've ever been to this kind of venue? β
ββ¦β¦ There are no charges here. β
Russell defended: "No one has explained to me, what is the use of this mask." β
Hearing Russell's voice, the bear-eared girl sighed softly.
Despite not being able to see her eyes, Russell could clearly feel her interest growing.
"You're wearing a smile mask, so you don't have to take your money...... You should also be given money. β
She grabbed Russell's shoulders a little harder, and the mask's voice became low and hoarse: "Don't you understand? Sister will teach you......
"You see the attendants around you, right? Ask them for a hand, then find an empty room and swipe the door. β
Hey, wait a minute.
What kind of nightclub is this......
Russell realized something was wrong.
He tried to break free of his grip and whispered, "What the hell does this mask mean...... Are there no service staff here? β
"'The happy live for the unfortunate', an old stalk more than ten years ago. In this kind of field, the one who wears the mask of crying is the guest who pays the money, and the one who wears the mask of laughter...... Except for the permanent staff, the rest are in a good mood and come here to earn some extra money. β
A girl who looks like a high school student.,But she looks very sophisticated.γ
She looked at Russell and whispered, "You don't want to go back and change your mask." Only female guests are allowed to wear crying masks at the 'Hive'...... If you want to come in, you have to pay a membership fee. Otherwise, Mr. Bouncy will kick you out when you are at the door. β
β¦β¦ In other words, in fact, he can only wear a smile mask? Otherwise, you can't get in?
No wonder the inferior didn't tell him these things......
Russell thought, his expression a little subtle - that's why the inferior didn't want to come in, but parked the car at the door?
"How about you, would you like to come and drink with us? Eight hundred dollars for an hour. We opened a private room and drank and sang quietly...... Much quieter than here in the lobby. β
"Hey...... Isn't that a bad thing? β
The lizard girl, who was hiding behind the bear-eared girl, gently scratched the corner of the bear-eared girl's clothes.
She whispered, "People are just going the wrong way, and they don't even know what the mask means." No, let's find someone else......"
"It's probably a little brother who has just become an adult, and I haven't released it at home before."
The hand that held Russell's shoulder still didn't let go, and the bear-eared girl shrugged nonchalantly: "Looking at the youth now, it's the most rare time." When you get used to it, it's a different experience...... One person, two experiences. Isn't that good? β
"I actually have an appointment!"
Russell saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, and quickly explained: "A friend asked me to meet here, so-"
"What about your friend?"
"I don't know, maybe it's ...... in a private room"
When Russell entered the door before, his eyes swept around.
Xiao Ruri's hair color is quite recognizable, but he doesn't see it in the hall at all. So it must have been a private room somewhere.
She was always surrounded by black-clad bodyguards. So Russell's initial concern may not be valid, because she is most likely here to consume......
"Tsk."
The bear-eared girl smacked her lips regretfully and let go of the hand that was clamping Russell's shoulder.
Although the face is not visible. But just by looking at that attitude, you can clearly feel reluctance.
"You're coming back, aren't you?"
She was a little unwilling, and asked, "Next time you come to accompany me, I'll give you a thousand per hour." β
"Next time, next time, next time, next time, next ......time, next
Russell whispered, and quickly got out and walked to the corner next to him.
- Not necessarily next time!
He added fiercely and forcefully in his heart.
Never coming back again, it's horrible here......
Russell walked into the corner in confusion.
It's more like a bar counter than a nightclub front desk. There is a bar in each of the four corners, and inside is a bartender wearing a smile mask shaking a shake glass.
The four bartenders range from mature uncles to well-behaved teenagers, to fashionable young people with curly hair to cute girls. It can be said that there are quite a variety of types.
The closest to Russell is the mature uncle.
He looked at Russell and let out a deep and deep voice, "Is there anything you want to drink, boy?" Or is it ...... Want a bracelet? β
"I'd like to inquire about someone, is that okay?"
Russell asked softly.
He was a little wary in his heart, because he didn't know if he would break any rules.
But the uncle bartender has obviously seen a lot.
"There are always young people who come in with a girl wearing a mask of a crying face. But we can't give away information about our guests. β
Beneath the mask of the smiling face, there is a smooth and reassuring voice.
It's like a hot coffee cocktail.
"But if you know her name and room number, it's not impossible to let you in."
The bartender said in a gentle tone, "Would you like a drink?" Come in, at least have a drink. At least it's worth the trip. β
How could I possibly know that kind of thing......
Russell grimaced, feeling that the investigation had reached an impasse as soon as it began.
But at this moment, he saw a handwritten trace suddenly appeared in the corner of the huge touchscreen used to order wine, where only Russell could see:
[The pseudonym used by Xiao Liuli to register here is 'Blue Song Robin', and the room is K128]
Russell's pupils narrowed slightly, revealing vertical pupils.
He looked up for the camera without changing his faceβand sure enough, just above them, there was a camera flashing red.
Less than a second after making eye contact with Russell, the camera moved up and down a bit. It's like nodding your head.
- I see!
That's what Delphinium is talking about!
