Chapter 1499: Willing to Accept Loss
Originally, Gan Xiaoyan hoped to use the First Bar, a place with a clear nameplate and obvious differences between the cabins, as a meeting point, but after opening it, she found someone, and...
To be honest, it's hard to tell whether it's a human or a monster in human skin.
The two stood awkwardly at the door.
Lei Lei turned her attention to Gan Xiaoyan, and it was too late to close the door and leave immediately.
Gan Xiaoyan thought about it for a moment, nodded to her, and walked inside.
As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger cubs.
Gan Xiaoyan's mission this time is to investigate, not to solve the problem of the ghost ship. Any opportunity to obtain information about the ghost ship should be seized.
This is the first time I have encountered a living creature other than my own people on the ship. Even if it is risky, I have to try it.
The two took a few steps forward, and they could clearly feel that the eyes that had been watching them were retracted, and they seemed to have lost interest in them.
Gan Xiaoyan looked around and found an etched metal plate next to the door.
It says:
‘Bar Notice’
1. Fighting is prohibited in the bar.
2. The bar will provide free drinks. Passengers can take them by themselves or ask the bartender to mix drinks for you, but please be sure to taste at least one glass.
3. Except for the consumed wine, the alcohol in the bar cannot be taken out of the bar. Please drink in the designated area.
4. Smoking is allowed in this area and fine cigars are provided. Please be careful when using matches.
5. Try not to disturb other passengers, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.
There are only these five rules in total. Everything else is actually fine. You have to drink when you come in, which makes people a little hesitant.
After all, this is a ghost ship. Who knows what the drinks they serve are. What if they are poisonous or cursed?
But if you don't follow the rules, you will be responsible for the consequences. These four words are particularly eye-catching.
Although the two have never seen the consequences of breaking the rules, this is obviously an unnecessary risk. It is better to be as careful as possible before joining together.
So after thinking about it for a moment, the two of them walked towards the bar.
“Welcome, what would you like to drink?”
As soon as the two of them approached the bar, the bartender who was cleaning the glasses turned around with his back to them.
Gan Xiaoyan's heart skipped a beat because the bartender had no eyes. His face looked human, but the eyes were completely erased, leaving only flat pieces of flesh.
Of course ordinary people would be frightened when they saw this thing, but Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei were a member of the ninth department who often dealt with supernatural events, and the other was a monk who cultivated immortality. They had seen many horrible and disgusting ghosts. It was over, but he didn't scream.
But this is more confirmation that there are indeed monsters on this ship.
Gan Xiaoyan calmed down and said:
“Give us two cups of screwdrivers.”
"Okay, please sit down and wait."
The prepared cocktails have a lower alcohol content than pure alcohol. Since the rules say that you must drink it, it is better to choose one that will not get to the top, otherwise two cups of Erguotou will be drunk. My belly is staggering when I walk.
Screwdriver is a cocktail mixed with citrus juice and vodka, which is sweet and sour.
The bartender quickly picked up the mixing glasses and started busy. The two sat on the chairs in front of the bar and looked around.
What is more interesting is that this small bar actually has a single room.
To be precise, the so-called single room is only closed with dark curtains, and it is the only place in the bar that cannot be seen at a glance.
"Has anyone else ordered drinks recently?"
Gan Xiaoyan asked casually, wanting to find out some information.
"It is indeed a bit busy today. A customer before you two ordered a silver bullet." The bartender looks like a monster, but he can still communicate well.
Gan Xiaoyan asked:
"What does he look like?"
"A young man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, maybe a student, elegant and elegant."
It's Jiang Zhe!
It seems that someone has been to the bar in advance.
However, when Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei came in, they did not see Jiang Zhe in the bar.
Of course, the premise is that the bartender is telling the truth.
Just as he was about to continue asking, the bartender moved very quickly, and two orange cocktails were already placed in front of them.
"Please taste it."
Lei Lei signaled Gan Xiaoyan not to worry, and then she picked up the cup first.
Monks are resistant to toxins and are almost invulnerable to all poisons. They are ruthless people who will only suffer from constipation at most if they eat arsenic. Moreover, monks are far more sensitive to energy than ordinary people. If the wine is poisonous or cursed, etc. Lei Lei can also discover things immediately.
She took a sip and waited quietly for two or three seconds before nodding towards Gan Xiaoyan.
No problem, you can drink it.
To be fair, Gan Xiaoyan felt that this Screwdriver was the best glass she had ever had. It was cool and soft in the mouth. It did not have the shortcomings of vodka and alcohol, but it still had the mellow aroma of spirits.
It’s just that it’s really hard to enjoy a glass of wine on such a weird ghost ship.
"The boy who fired the silver bullet just now, do you know where he went?"
The bartender pointed to the place covered with a curtain on the other side of the bar:
"He has been there all along. This, I didn’t leave.”
Is it because I was afraid that I was hiding behind the curtain?
What is the difference between this and hiding under the covers after watching a ghost movie?
It wouldn't be surprising if someone else did this in a state of shock, but Gan Xiaoyan knew Jiang Zhe and he was very courageous.
Jiang Zhe’s ability places great emphasis on defense and survival. The General Administration described his ability as ‘difficult to eliminate without using heavy weapons’.
This is why Jiang Zhe always takes the lead, he is really worthy.
Will he hide behind the curtain out of fear?
This is impossible.
The two of them were wary, holding wine glasses and leaving the bar, heading towards the area covered by the curtain.
As they got closer, the two heard heavy breathing, as if a person was in an extremely nervous state and was overbreathing.
Immediately, the curtain blocking the view was pulled down from inside, and Lei Lei stepped in front of Gan Xiaoyan.
Then the two of them saw Jiang Zhe sweating profusely, and even wanted to turn around and run away in a state of embarrassment. When he turned around, he also saw Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei. He was about to open his mouth to say something, but his mouth was moving and no sound came out.
He seemed to be in a panic and couldn't choose a way out.
Jiang Zhe stretched out his hand towards Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei. The next second, the hand suddenly seemed to be crushed and turned into a piece of paper.
Not just his hands, Jiang Zhe's whole body immediately seemed to be crushed. Rather than being a person, it looked more like a human-shaped sign stuck at the door of some shops.
And this humanoid standing sign is actually still alive. Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei can see Jiang Zhe's eyes seem to be moving, but he can't do anything.
This sudden change shocked both of them. At this time, in the shadow behind Jiang Zhe, a man's voice said:
"This is not possible. I am willing to admit defeat. The rules of this table.”
Jiang Zhe, who was directly transformed into two dimensions, quickly shrank and turned into a transparent, plastic card-like thing, which fell into the man's outstretched hand.
Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei's scalps tensed up instantly, as if reason was screaming in their heads, and every cell in their bodies was reminding them loudly.
Danger, this man is extremely dangerous.
