city ​​center.

Scotos Bar.

A group of people gathered around a round table in the corner drinking.

It was noisy in the bar.

There are many people.

Very lively.

Qin Zhong and Xiao Li were both familiar with the atmosphere in the bar.

Before entering Shanhai University, the two were basically young masters from wealthy families, so naturally they often came to places like this.

Others are basically clubbing.

Especially ancient people like Li Lizhi had no such experience.

Therefore, everyone was reserved.

Fortunately, Qin Zhong seemed like a different person when he arrived in this kind of environment. He not only talked and laughed, but he could even liven up the atmosphere.

With Xiao Li's help, everyone felt a lot more comfortable.

The three people from Chuxiong were also dressed in casual clothes.

He held a large glass of draft beer in his hand, looked at Qin Zhong and laughed, "If it weren't for this mission, I might never have entered a bar in my life. Brother Qin, come on, come on, cheers."

"Haha, let's do one."

Qin Zhong was really excited.

very relaxing.

He clinked glasses with Chuxiong and then drank it all.

A large glass of draft beer, downed in one gulp.

He looks like a fish in water.

Several girls sat together and whispered.

Jin Chaoyong and Han Shanying sat together playing dice.

Play and explore at the same time.

Xiao Li's eyes would glance at Xu Fang from time to time.

The atmosphere is weird.

No one knew whether Alecto could show up today. In the absence of any other clues, waiting here was the only option.

……

A few rounds of drinking.

Everyone chatted with each other.

Li Lizhi sat in the corner, looking down at her cell phone.

Sudden.

Someone sat next to me.

“Don’t you like the atmosphere here?”

Li Lizhi looked up.

It’s Wu Hao.

He quickly smiled and said, "Not really, it's just... I don't really like this kind of wine."

"Oh, it's normal for girls not to like drinking."

Li Lizhi: “…”

It’s not that I don’t like drinking, but I don’t like the wine here.

I have never lost a drinking contest in the mansion before.

Ugh!

such a pity.

In this era, it is no longer possible to drink the fine wine of the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Hao didn't know what she was thinking. He glanced at her phone and said, "What are you checking?"

"Oh, I... I haven't been to school, so I don't have enough education. I want to find out what the name of this bar means."

"What's the name of the bar?"

Wu Hao was stunned: "Scottos?"

"Correct."

Wu Hao smiled and said, "It shouldn't have any special meaning. Usually, bars like this, or some foreign trade stores, often have their names randomly chosen, and they don't have any special meaning."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Wu Hao looked at her suspiciously and said, "Li Zhi, why do I always feel that you don't look like a modern person? It seems that you don't even understand some very common sense."

Li Lizhi's hands trembled.

No way?

Discovered?

Wu Hao continued, "Just like the name of this bar, Scodos. It sounds like a random name. It was probably chosen by some non-mainstream person on a whim. You have to know that sometimes, the more bizarre the names, the more attractive they are."

“Not necessarily.”

Li Lizhi gritted her teeth and handed over the phone: "I just checked randomly. This Scodos seems to have some special meaning in some circumstances."

Wu Hao was stunned and looked down at his phone: "What's the situation?"

"It is... under the condition of a transliteration."

"Transliteration?"

Wu Hao turned his head and looked at her.

Looking at her impeccable profile, my heart was pounding.

It felt so good to talk to her up close like this.

Li Lizhi didn't notice the fiery look in Wu Hao's eyes at all. She just pointed at the phone and said, "Transliteration, some foreign languages ​​can be transliterated to facilitate our pronunciation. For example, Sakurajima language, Cantonese, Bangzi language, etc. When I looked up this name, I found that it also seems to be a transliteration."

"What transliteration?"

Li Lizhi said seriously: "It is a transliteration of an ancient Greek word, meaning 'darkness'."

"Ancient Greek..."

Wu Hao's heart moved, and he came back to his senses in an instant, his eyes became more serious: "The name Alecto is the name of an ancient Greek goddess. She is the goddess of plague, war and revenge."

Li Lizhi nodded: "Yes, so this may be the reason why Alecto often appears in this bar."

"If you say so..."

Wu Hao suddenly stood up and said, "If the origin of the bar's name is really the ancient Greek word for 'darkness', then we need to investigate this bar carefully."

He stood up suddenly and everyone else was stunned.

He Xiu looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong, Old Wu?"

"Li Zhi may have discovered something wrong."

Wu Hao immediately waved to everyone, gathered everyone together, and whispered the meaning of the bar name that Li Lizhi had found out.

After that, he looked at He Xiu and Chu Xiong and said seriously: "This bar is worth checking. Do you remember that Anubis, the god of death from the Pharaoh country, secretly invaded China a few months ago? Nowadays, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Some obscure gods in the West often sneak into China secretly by various means and engage in some shameful activities."

After hearing this, Chu Xiong stood up and said, "It's time to investigate. Leave this matter to us. Yingzi, Afang, take action. Investigate the details of this bar in detail."

"it is good."

"coming."

The three of them acted decisively and took action immediately.

After the three of them left, Wu Hao waved at Qin Zhong and said, "Old Qin, let's go and take a look around. I feel that this is the time for you to play a role. If you encounter a suspicious person, hypnotize him and ask him clearly."

"it is good."

Qin Zhong stood up proudly.

Feeling needed is value.

So, Qin Zhong and Wu Hao walked away arm in arm.

The rest of the people stopped drinking.

Stay alert.

If there's something wrong with this bar, we'll have to take action sometime.

You still have to stay awake.

And so, everyone went their separate ways.

……

Outside the bar.

Han Shanying came out.

It was a dark and windy night outside, and the air was filled with a strange smell of sulfur.

I wonder where the firecrackers were set off?

Han Sun-young also drank some beer before.

But it does not affect thinking.

After coming out, I smelled a little drunk.

For her, it was hormones going a bit wild.

Generally speaking, there are only two ideal solutions to this situation.

One is to check into a hotel and have sex.

If she had nothing to do tonight, she would definitely secretly drag Jin Chaoyong away.

The two of them have been getting along very well these past few days.

I'm a little tempted.

Another way is to fight.

Got to vent.

Just find someone to beat up.

Han Shanying walked outside, looked west twice, then turned back and looked upstairs.

At this time, many people came out of the bar one after another, all in pairs, and they turned around and ran to the hotel next door.

Han Shanying glanced at the name of the hotel.

It's called 'Olympus Hotel'.

I didn’t think so before, but after listening to what Li Lizhi found out, I always feel that this hotel has something to do with the ancient Greek gods.

Han Shanying couldn't help but turn around and walked in.

Entered the hall.

The interior is decorated magnificently.

The decoration style is not the oriental Chinese style, it really has a bit of the flavor of western ancient Greek architecture.

At this time, the girl at the hotel front desk greeted me enthusiastically: "Hello, do you want to book a room?"

Han Shanying looked at the two or three couples who had just come out of the bar, pointed at their backs and said, "Are they the ones who live here?"

"Them? Oh, they booked a room at the bar. We have a cooperative relationship with the bar. Young couples who get drunk at the bar usually stay at our place."

Han Shanying nodded.

The explanation makes sense.

So he turned around and wanted to leave.

Before leaving, I glanced at the girl at the front desk and found that she was wearing a very strange badge on her chest. I seemed to have seen it somewhere.

Han Shanying stopped again.

After thinking for a while, he slowly walked to the front desk and showed his ID: "I'm from the Municipal Bureau."

The expression on the girl's face at the front desk froze.

Then, he said something that Han Shanying could never have imagined: "Officer, this hotel is owned by the brother-in-law of your city bureau deputy director. You are not going to investigate us, are you?"

Han Shanying: “…”

Who?

The deputy director’s brother-in-law?
