Overturned Tower

Russell was still in shock. After looking carefully, he noticed that the box he was holding was filled with white masks.

There are two kinds of masks in the box, one is a crying face mask and the other is a smiling face mask.

"Do you want me to choose one to wear?"

Russell endured the nausea in his heart and asked politely.

The clumsy and ugly Mediterranean doll bent over and bowed to himself exaggeratedly.Russell guessed it meant a nod, but the doll's short neck made it difficult to nod.

Russell observed that there were not many crying masks left, but many smiling masks.

Is it because many people have chosen crying face masks... or are there not many crying face masks?

Considering that the inferior seems to be a very reliable person.He didn't make it clear to himself the precautions here, probably because it doesn't matter what he chooses.

So Russell put a smiley mask on himself based on the standard of being pleasing to the eye.

The dumpy puppet jumped up and down happily, dancing funny dances.

Russell tried not to look at him, and thanked him politely.

After all, everyone is a worker, brother, it is not easy for you...

After Russell put on the mask, he continued to walk forward.

He had just reached the end of the long corridor and turned around.He heard the door creak open again behind him.

He was a little curious and had a little mischievous taste, wanting to see the newcomer get startled.So Russell looked back with a smile.

--boom!

As a result, he heard a very clear muffled sound directly.

The ones who came in were two very young looking girls.Looks like he's a high school student.

And after they entered the door, a girl with brown curly hair and bear ears punched the ugly doll costume directly at the door.

"Good morning, Mr. Bouncy!"

After she gave a punch, she smiled and said hello.It was a voice that sounded very sunny and enthusiastic.

The ugly and funny Mediterranean fat doll immediately made a very exaggerated move and fell heavily to the ground with strength.

His puppet suit seems to contain something like a sandbag - the sound of hitting it is not like hitting someone, but more like punching a sandbag.Moreover, the sandbag has been specially treated to make it louder, so as to increase the "strike".

When the puppet fell to the ground, by the way, he was careful not to let the masks fall to the ground.Instead, put the box holding the mask on the ground next to it.

Of course you can't talk while wearing a Muppet costume, it's an industry rule.So the Mediterranean puppet with an exaggerated smile on its face showed a comedic begging gesture with rich body movements, which made the two girls laugh out loud.

The other girl who didn't punch was significantly smaller and thinner than the bear-eared girl next to her.

There are a few dark blue scales scattered on her body surface, and she has a long tail like a lizard.Seeing that the puppet was still on the ground begging for mercy but did not get up, she held up her short skirt and ran over and kicked the Mediterranean puppet kneeling on the ground lightly.

"Mr. Bounce, get up and get us the masks!"

The lizard girl is obviously well-bred, so she doesn't lift her legs too high when she kicks people in a miniskirt.Presumably only knee height was mentioned.

The puppet was kicked, and there was a loud sound from its body.He also fell backwards in an exaggerated way, and bounced back in an exaggerated manner after hitting the wall in an exaggerated way, with that exaggerated smile on his face still.

Then it knelt on the ground and held up the box containing the mask for the two to choose.

Russell watched this scene, shrinking his neck in discomfort.

...It turns out that the puppet put on such an annoying look because it was specially placed at the door to be beaten.

No wonder the corridors are so empty.Probably to prevent breaking or breaking something.

Mr. "Bengbeng"'s puppet outfit even has protection, which should be to guard against the heavyweight boxing of guests equipped with powerful prosthetic hands; and its "sound booster" effect is to increase the sense of impact , Let the boys and girls who have neither the strength nor the equipment to fight the prosthetic body can play more enjoyable.

This is the... daily entertainment of the residents of Happy Island?

Russell's mood was a little complicated.

The two girls seemed to see Russell.

They looked up.Russell noticed that they were all wearing crying masks, which were different from his own.

"Yo!"

The taller girl waved to Russell enthusiastically.

Russell hurriedly turned around and ran back in fright—although it felt like they probably wouldn't rush over to punch him, Russell still shrank back subconsciously.

The main reason is that I dare not stay and talk to them...

After seeing the scene of them beating someone, Russell felt a little guilty for no reason.It's like the feeling when I first checked information in an Internet cafe when I was a child. I heard that "there are all bad boys", so when I entered the door, I was a little scared, and I was a little excited and anxious, and I didn't dare to talk to anyone. Dare to shake his head and nod.

After passing the corner, the two thick leather curtains in front reminded Russell of the memory of that time.

The curtain of this material has a very good sound insulation and light insulation effect.

After lifting the thick curtain, Russell saw a more exciting scene than before——

Chapter 29 The Hive Nightclub

It's only in the morning now... Although it's Saturday morning, the nightclub is already full of people.

Russell saw countless men and women wearing masks sitting on different sofas drinking wine.

There is a blue-red light above their heads that can flash people into photosensitive epilepsy. In the middle is a catwoman with a high blue ponytail. The soul relative is obviously a blue cat.The right side of her body is full of Wen Qing, and the other side has a metal iron hand that is obviously bigger than the right hand.

——That is the Rocketeer-MK3 type, which is characterized by the ability to launch hook claws and has a load of up to two hundred kilograms.Other than that, there are no advantages, and even the grip is not convenient and reliable, and it is impossible to control the fingers too finely.

Russell's professionalism made him subconsciously start to analyze the model of the prosthetic body he saw.

That was an old model ten years ago.It is not the style of Sogo Island, but the rough and durable style of Shenzhi Heavy Industry.

If the prosthetic body produced in Chongguang Island, it must be replaced in less than ten years, maybe three years.It's not that it can't be so durable... The main thing is that the prosthetic body, if it breaks too slowly, no one will buy a new one, it must be the old habit of using it.

The prosthetic body is broken and insensitive, and it is also an excuse for people to buy the latest prosthetic body to show off to classmates and colleagues.But if you don't have money, you have to go to the repair shop to replace the parts by yourself. Repairs can still be used for a few more years.

Therefore, how to reduce the durability of the self-designed prosthesis without any trace, and try to prevent users from cracking the service life through micro-modification and flashing is also a very complicated knowledge.

Shenzhi Heavy Industry is not the main business prosthetic body, so they don't need to consider the issue of replacement.These things are leftovers from their engineering robots.

In line with the concept of "I think that what is installed on the robot should also be installed on humans", it highlights a design with a large amount of tubes, full of stupid, thick, and sufficient materials, but anti-rejection and convenience. It will be much worse.

And this "silly big black thick prosthetic body user" Catwoman is not much bigger than Russell, but thinner.Her breasts are obviously bare, and even her ribs can be seen from her exposed lower chest and waist.

The band behind her is even more peculiar-the drummer has a broken horn and a brand mark on his shoulder; the bass player is a thin and scaly man, his mouth is sewn with black thread, and the guitarist is handsome. The fox, who does not know the gender, has a head of brilliant golden long hair and a long fluffy tail.

When Russell entered the door, Catwoman was roaring angrily and making a long, loud sound.

The lights above the head flickered fiercely because of this, and the entire ground of the nightclub seemed to be shaking.Russell clearly felt his heart beating.

It wasn't until Russell saw the band on the stage that Catwoman ended her singing.

Her non-prosthetic right hand raised her microphone stand high, and the masked people below screamed enthusiastically.

It wasn't the microphone, it was the whole microphone stand—it was only when she was pushing that Russell realized that her rather slender right arm was full of muscles from shoulder to forearm.Has a very strong sense of power.

People tried their best to raise their wine glasses and spilled the wine on the catwoman on the stage.She didn't hide or dodge, she was instantly drenched and exuded a strong alcohol smell.

With a proud smile on her face, she slowly pointed the microphone stand at people as if holding a sword.

The people pointed at it screamed and cheered.

And at this moment, Russell realized something.

... This is not a nightclub, it's a speakeasy!

And, except for myself.

Judging from the loudness and timbre of the screams, Russell, it seemed, almost, most of the customers present were women of different ages.

——Is my initial worry a bit superfluous?

His expression suddenly became very subtle.

Think about it, it's true.

The population of bees belongs to the matrilineal 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 rushed over.

The bear-eared girl patted Russell on the shoulder carelessly: "Why are you running so fast, I'm not a carnivore like wolves and leopards."

Russell was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly realized the meaning hidden in her words:

Is this implying that Russell is deliberately running away with his back to her, trying to arouse the desire of the other party to hunt him down?

"Ok?"

The bear-eared girl looks very smart.

Seeing Russell's hesitant appearance, she guessed something: "You didn't go to the wrong door, did you. Or...are you a newcomer? Is this your first time in this kind of place?"

"...There are no charging items here."

Russell argued: "No one explained to me, what's the use of this mask."

Hearing Russell's voice, the bear-eared girl let out a little gasp.

Although she couldn't see her eyes, Russell clearly felt that her interest had become stronger.

"You are wearing a smiling mask, so of course you don't need to take money from you...you should be given money."

She grabbed Russell's shoulders a little harder, and the voice of the mask became low and hoarse: "Don't you understand? My sister will teach you...

"You see the service staff around you? Ask them for a hand card, and then find an empty room to open the door."

Hello, wait a minute.

What kind of nightclub is this...

Russell realized something was wrong.

He tried to break free from his grip, and asked in a low voice, "What the hell does this mask mean... Are there no service personnel here?"

"'The happy live for the unlucky', an old meme more than ten years ago. In this kind of place, the ones who wear the crying masks are the paying guests, and the ones wearing the smiling masks...except for permanent jobs staff, the rest are those who are in a good mood and come here to earn some extra money.”

The girl who looks like only a high school student looks very sophisticated.

She looked at Russell and said in a low voice, "Don't even think about going back and changing the mask. Only female guests in the 'Honeycomb' can wear crying masks... You have to pay a membership fee to come in. Otherwise, when you are at the door, Bounce Sir will kick you out."

...In other words, in fact, he can only wear a smiling mask?Otherwise, you won't even be able to get in?

No wonder the bad guy didn't tell him these things...

Russell thought, with a subtle expression - so the bad guy didn't want to come in, but parked the car at the door?

"How about it, do you want to come and drink with us? I'll give you 800 yuan for an hour. Let's open a private room, drink and sing quietly... It's much quieter than here in the hall."

"Hey...isn't that good?"

The lizard girl hiding behind the bear-eared girl gently grabbed the corner of the bear-eared girl's clothes.

She whispered: "He just went the wrong way, he doesn't even know what the mask means. No way, let's find someone else..."

"Probably the little brother who has just grown up. The family has never let him out before."

The hand holding Russell's shoulder still didn't let go, and the bear-eared girl shrugged nonchalantly: "It's the rarest time to look young now. After you get used to it, it will be a different experience... one People, two experiences. Isn't that good?"

"I actually have an appointment!"

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Russell quickly explained: "A friend asked me to meet here, so—"

"What about your friend?"

"I don't know, maybe in the private room..."

When Russell entered the door before, his eyes swept around.

Xiao Liuli's hair color is quite recognizable, but he didn't see it in the hall at all.So it must have entered a private room somewhere.

She was always surrounded by bodyguards in black.So Russell's worries at the beginning may not be valid, because she probably came here to spend...

"Tsk."

The bear-eared girl smacked her lips regretfully, and let go of the hand that clamped Russell's shoulder.

Although I can't see the face.But just looking at that attitude, you can clearly feel the reluctance.

"Are you still coming?"
