Requiem Chapter 3 Bar
"Knock knock knock..." Under the dim neon lights, there were bursts of knocks on the door. The sounds echoed around the end of the alley, filled with an eerie ghostly aura.
"Who?" The female boss stopped wiping the glass and raised her head nonchalantly, revealing a pretty face. The light shone on her face, revealing something strange.
"I'm a passerby, I want to come in for a drink, I wonder if it's closed?"
"Not yet, but it will be soon. Come in!" The female boss smiled. She suddenly felt that the other party should be a very interesting person.
This is a bar deep in the alley! The decoration is old, and even half of the signboard has fallen off. In addition, the frequent urban reconstruction in recent years has gradually turned the former prosperity into a thing of the past. Development has envisioned future achievements, but buried the beauty of the past. The so-called white clouds and the dog, changing with each passing day, is this truth.
As the wooden door was pushed to its limit, time seemed to have stopped. Then, there seemed to be a teeth-grinding collision sound in the empty space. A gust of cold air mixed with fine raindrops blew in mercilessly through the crack in the door, causing the boss to shiver violently and almost breaking the glass he was wiping.
The moment their eyes locked, the female boss's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, this time it was a new customer, with sharp features, sharp eyebrows and white teeth. The thin chin was as perfect as a work of art under the dim light, so perfect that she couldn't help but take a second look.
It was not until the wind blew back from the door that the female boss came to her senses and shouted to the person who came: "Hey, friend, please close the door. It's very cold."
Yin Hui nodded expressionlessly, stretched out his right hand, and gently pushed the old wooden door, which made a sour biting sound again.
As the wooden door closed, the corner of the female boss's eye trembled violently, and the high hanging chandelier also shook a few times, making the light in the bar dim. The halo reflected on the wine glass was inexplicably covered with a Gothic color.
She muttered softly and went back to wiping the other wine glasses.
Although the bar is not big, the only chandelier can't take care of the whole scene. The phonograph is playing Zhou Xuan's "Song Girl at the End of the World". The delicate and petite voice floats in the air, making people feel as if they are in old Shanghai in the 1990s.
In a dark corner, three middle-aged men in loose coats were playing a card game. This was the only table with customers in the bar. However, they did not swear like other gamblers, and they did not make fists and shout. They just lowered their heads quietly, staring at the cards in their hands, thinking about which card to play next and which card to pick next. They moved slowly and ignored the uninvited guest who suddenly came in.
Putting his sunglasses on the table, Yin Hun glanced at the three men casually. The surprise in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by a playful expression of a doll.
"Hey...Boss, do you have any Nutri-Express?" After saying that, he tapped the counter a few times with his fingers.
"Uh... Nutri-Express?" The female boss obviously didn't expect the man in front of her to make such a request. After being surprised for a few seconds, she shrugged and looked helpless: "Sorry, sir, we don't sell drinks for children here."
After that, she turned around and pointed to the wine cabinet behind her: "Why don't you try this bottle of 1993 French red wine? Of course, Portuguese champagne is also a very tasteful choice. Whether it's chilled or paired, I believe our bartender will make you enjoy it to your heart's content."
The bartender was a young man in his mid-twenties, wearing a black and white vest. He had a very green face, but I always felt that there was something hidden behind this green face. Hearing what the female boss said, the bartender smiled politely, picked up an aluminum alloy wine can from the table, and then swung the can around his arm, then stopped it steadily in his palm, then poured some raised his hand, with the bottle mouth facing down, and the wine slowly poured into the glass, emitting a fine light, like stars falling into the sea. Bubbles were bubbling, full of temptation.
But after putting down the glass, the bartender's face darkened, because he found that from beginning to end, this guy didn't even look at him. Could it be that his cool skills couldn't attract his attention at all? The bartender felt ignored.
"Oh my... why is it a drink for children... Nutri-Express is a good thing for all ages!" After hearing this, the boss's face turned ugly. It is said that there are many more salesmen in the city recently. Could this guy be one of them? However, before confirming, out of business instinct, she still smiled and looked at Yin Hui, without any intention of getting angry.
"I'm sorry, we really don't have the drink you need..."
“Well then!” Yin Hui showed an indecisive expression on his face. He stretched out a finger and tapped it left and right in the air, wavering undecidedly until the two people were almost dizzy. Then he took it back and said, “Forget it. Give me a glass of boiled water!”
"Boiled water?" The female boss suddenly discovered that there was such a top-quality product in the world. Yes, he had no taste, but he was very interesting.
"Do as I say!" The female boss snapped her fingers to the bartender behind her. This time, the bartender didn't say much and directly placed a glass of white liquid in front of Yin Hun.
"Boss, do you know that the layout of this bar is very bad? It is easy to attract some unclean things, such as Japanese monsters!"
Yin Hun had been staring at the liquid in the cup in silence until one of the three people playing cards at the table behind him seemed to have won money and began to laugh crazily. The unpleasant laughter filled his ears, and then he looked at the female boss and spoke out word by word.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was loud enough to be heard throughout the bar!
The voices of the three people playing cards behind him suddenly became quieter, replaced by a brief silence. Yin Hun could clearly hear their heavy breathing and the approaching murderous intent.
Thirty steps!
Twenty steps!
Ten steps!
The murderous intent suddenly disappeared, and the entire space became silent again, with only the sound of heavy breathing.
