Lord of Eternal Darkness

This city is huge, and if you don’t have a navigation map on your phone, you might get lost in the maze of houses.

The Swan Bar stands in front. The store does not look small, and the colorful neon lights on the sign attract a small number of customers on the street.

Heavy rain, prisoners escaping and other reasons did not stop it from continuing to operate.

There are two mechanical sequencers standing at the door, who should be equivalent to security guards. From time to time, you can see some men and women walking in together. I wonder if it is because of habit or because they have no way out. Who knows? Drink, drink.

He put away his umbrella and put it in the tube at the door, and wrung out the heavy moisture on his trousers.

The two machine security guards stood there stupidly. At most, they just scanned the passing guests with their eyes to make sure they were not carrying any weapons. They almost didn't stop anyone to let them check. They seemed to be very relieved.

Li Xiaoming stood on the steps and looked inside. The half-open door of the bar revealed the confusing light.

The smell of cigarettes and drinks was everywhere in the bar, mixed with noise, laughter, and music.

I didn't expect it to be very deep inside. A dark passage goes straight forward, with seven or eight arches next to it. You can walk directly to the lobby of the bar. If you reserve a private room, you have to go to the second floor or above.

Sitting quietly in a corner of the bar, next to the window, you can observe the situation outside at any time.

Call the waiter and order a glass of boiled water. After all, he is here to do something.

I kept talking about drinking before, but it was just a casual comment. In fact, I haven't been to a bar for a long time.

I remember the last time I went to a bar, it was in Chuanning's Heaven and Earth 1,000 years ago. I always felt that it was too noisy and unquiet, and I felt out of place. After all, if I wasn't drunk, there was no point in being in the bar.

Now I find that I am actually separated from this world, and separated from the world that should belong to young people.

"The deputy city lord probably won't be here today. After all, something big happened in the prison, and the network was hacked. Let's just observe the terrain first. If we do it here, we don't feel like we have a good chance of winning."

Li Xiaoming glanced at the strange people, sitting in twos and threes, talking to each other, and sure enough, he did not find the target in the photo.

The singer's infectious singing voice slowly filled the air. If you listen carefully, you will find that it is a robot's synthesized electronic music. No wonder it lacks some emotion and soul.

"Hey, you heard, there was a riot in Xiao Shen Ke Prison, and nearly 1/10 of the people escaped."

"It's actually true. The fake show that once blew up the city bank also came out."

"I heard that he is very handsome under the mask of the fake actor. Even in prison, no one has seen his true face. He is really a mysterious man. He is worthy of being the number one person on the wanted list."

The man said fearfully, and the two female companions beside him also responded with frightened expressions on their faces. Only one strong man continued to drink and said it didn't matter.

"What does all this have to do with us? Only the upper class are afraid of him. It's so difficult for us ordinary people to even support ourselves. Come and drink."

After speaking, he raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp, clinking glasses with others and blending into the atmosphere of the bar.

Li Xiaoming endured the feasting and feasting. He finished drinking the boiled water, poured another glass, and stared out the window boredly.

The people next to him looked at him strangely. Why did this guy come to the bar alone and only drink water? He must be a pauper. But no one cared about him, he just thought about it in his heart and went to hook up with those beauties or handsome guys.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows were hung with dark red curtains, and white raindrops filled the gaps.

It was raining heavily, and a cool smell drifted in through the cracks in the window.

Li Xiaoming tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thinking a lot, but he was quickly disrupted.

The thick air was filled with the smell of tobacco and alcohol. I don't know when a powerful music was changed, and the sound was turned up to the maximum, almost deafening people's ears.

Both men and women were twisting their waists and hips crazily on the dance floor. Women dressed in cool clothes were laughing and playing among the men, teasing the men who couldn't control themselves with frivolous words, and those men were also carefully Picking your prey.

Li Xiaoming endured the annoying feasting and feasting, and would feel bored if he stayed in a dark corner for too long.

Eavesdropping on other people's conversations, especially drunken conversations that seemed like secrets, gradually became interesting.

He scanned the restless crowd and saw no target to assassinate. He felt that he should ask others, but he was afraid that he might get into trouble if he asked the deputy city lord's privacy abruptly.

After much thought, I wondered whether I should order a drink from the bartender and ask around.

He turned his attention to the table next to him. There were five people and four of them ran away to dance, leaving one drunk man alone. From his proficiency in ordering drinks, it could be seen that he was an old regular at the bar.

So he asked: "Friend, do you know when the deputy city lord will appear here?"

The guy looked him up and down and replied casually: "If you can order me a glass of wine, maybe I can reluctantly tell you."

He had no choice but to order a cocktail, and the other party drank it all in one gulp.

He slowly said: "Haha, to be honest, I don't know. I just heard this rumor. It may be in the box, it may be in the lobby, or it may not be here at all. What are you doing with the deputy city leader?"

Li Xiaoming was speechless. This was a waste of wine money. "I am a director, and I want to ask him to play a guest role in the play. I want to communicate with him up close in an approachable way,"

"Are you a director? Do you think someone like me can play a guest role?"

Li Xiaoming smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone is the protagonist in the movie. It's just that we are full now. I will let you know when there is a situation."

"Oh, that's great. I really like movies. When I go to Titan City, I will tell my nephew that his uncle is on TV, and he will definitely admire me even more." The man confided his drunken words, and then Lie down on the table.

Now Li Xiaoming is very disappointed, just as disappointed as the guy who didn't get the role in the movie.

He looked at the heavy rain outside the window. There was a bit of noise in the house. Young people were making wanton noises and dancing with their excess energy.

In the bar, a woman was wearing a black windbreaker and one of those arm gloves on her arms, but she only wore one.

Messy yet beautiful, her colorful and shiny long hair hangs irregularly on her shoulders, and her eyes are covered with thick black eyeliner, which is charming yet aura.

One hand gracefully held the goblet, held it between the blood-red lips, took a sip, and shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied.

She didn't drink anymore, just played with the glass.

Li Xiaoming looked over curiously, mainly attracted by the other person's hair, although his figure was commendable.

The luminous material that can change with the temperature is colorful and dreamy. What will happen if you apply this material to your hair? I touched my head and it felt inappropriate.

After admiring it for three seconds, look out the window again. The rain has subsided and you should go back now.

Li Xiaoming suddenly noticed that the woman was walking towards him.

Oh my God, that woman is walking towards me. She won't be exposed. I just asked casually. This deputy city lord is too scary. Surveillance power is everywhere. Stay steady and don't panic.

Or maybe he was attracted by his own handsomeness. Alas, my damn charm has nowhere to go.

This is definitely the idea that Ming Wuyan had in his mind, although I think what I said makes sense.

"Hello, pretty boy, how about you watch the scenery alone?" the other party greeted cordially.

Li Xiaoming replied: "Nonsense, I can't help but shake my head on the dance floor with you."

Ming Wuan said angrily: "Well, a beautiful woman came up to chat with me. You should be a little more gentleman. How can we chat like this! No man can say no to the colorful QQ candy hair!"

Ming Wu An is considering whether to take over the Nightmare Body. Young man, if you want to chat like this, there is no future. This situation must be left to professionals like me to handle it.

Then he was blocked by the main personality without hesitation.

Liz was not polite, she sat directly opposite, took off her gloves, flipped her hair and said, "If you are interested in buying me a drink, I wouldn't mind relaxing on the dance floor with you."

Li Xiaoming asked back: "Do you think we are familiar?"

The woman was stunned. She had been in various circles and had never seen someone so disrespectful.

But men are men after all, and most of them like to pretend to be aloof to attract women, which is commonplace.
