Natural enemies

At night in Shanghai, the lights are bright, even if there is a thin line of rain falling, it has never affected the vitality of the city.

It was only six o'clock at the main entrance of Haitian Entertainment City, and the neon lights were shining like a jewelry box knocked over, but the back entrance for employees to enter and exit was not so glamorous.

Holding an umbrella, Gu Yi walked into some dark alleys. The black oilcloth umbrella surface was mixed with the bright and light folding umbrellas on the front, back, left, and right sides, which was a bit obtrusively old.

"Brother Gu—" Someone patted him on the shoulder, and Lu Ming, who was also a bartender, came up from behind with a smile, "I knew it was you when I saw this umbrella. How old is it, let's change it."

Gu Yi smiled and nodded casually: "Okay."

Lu Ming has been with him for two years, how can he not know that his appearance is perfunctory, and he doesn't intend to change the umbrella, so he changed the subject wisely: "Brother Gu, have you heard? There are murderers running around Come to us."

All the people walking in this alley are Haitian employees. When they heard Lu Ming speak, someone said, "No wonder I see police cars all the time these days. I thought something happened to our place—it won't come to our place." Come on the street?"

Haitian Entertainment City, of course, only has bars, game bars, restaurants, and karaoke rooms to the outside world. It sounds very serious, but in fact-everyone knows that there are always some shady things in any nightclub.Of course, those who can open an entertainment city have a backer to some extent, so the police patrols on weekdays are just for show, and if there are police cars appearing frequently, it is likely that something big will happen, so everyone is inevitably nervous.

Lu Ming's news has always been well-informed: "It has nothing to do with us. But everyone should be careful these days. I heard that this is a perverted murderer who came out of nowhere. The dead people have been drained of blood. Scary to death! The police arrested me several times but failed. Let’s go home at night with company, especially you girls—not afraid of [-], but just in case?”

Working in Haitian, it is almost midnight or even early morning to get off work. At that time, there are few pedestrians on the road, and it is indeed a good time for murderers to appear.A group of young girls showed nervous expressions, and they started discussing the matter of companionship.

Gu Yi had been quietly listening to everyone talking, and only then slightly raised his head.The crowd had already reached the back door of the entertainment city, and they were putting away their umbrellas and entering in a file. Gu Yi was in the line and looked up diagonally above the door frame.

There was a place where the dim street lights couldn't reach. In the thick darkness, there was a pair of eyes looking at the people below in horror.Facing Gu Yi's gaze, the eyes shrank suddenly, and almost immediately they were about to flap their wings and start flying. Although they held back at the last moment, there was still a fluttering sound, but everyone was talking about it, and no one was talking about it. Pay attention to this small sound.

Gu Yi looked away as if nothing had happened, shook off the rainwater on the tarpaulin umbrella, and stepped into the door.

The bar is always lively, even if it rains today, there are still many people coming.Gu Yi stood in the shadow behind the bar, quietly wiping the wine glass.Beside him, Lu Ming was juggling wine bottles, and the flying wine bottles reflected the lights, attracting whistles and cheers from some young people.

After pushing out a few glasses of mixed wine, Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief and moved his wrist quietly.He uses a jumbo bottle, which is a great gimmick and not an easy one to play.But because of this, he often gets extra tips, and his income is higher than that of Gu Yi.

"Brother Gu, young people recognize this now, why don't you do it?" Lu Ming is an enthusiastic person, and he gets along well with Gu Yi, so he couldn't help but persuade him, "I know you don't like the taste of wine mixed in this way. It's not very good, but these people who come to drink can't tell the difference at all."

Bartending is an art. Lu Ming's fancy bartending is actually a performance. As for the wine, the taste is quite ordinary.But the young people who come to the bar like to watch his performance. As for the wine-in fact, they can't taste any difference.

Gu Yi smiled: "It's better to change to an ordinary wine bottle. Your wrist can't stand it all the time." He was planning to resign, so what else would he do with fancy bartending.He used to like such a lively way before, but now...

Lu Ming moved his wrist again and grinned.Six hours of fancy bartending every night, although there are breaks in the middle, the burden on the wrist is quite heavy for many years.In this way, he won't be able to do this in a few years, at least he will have to change to a normal-sized shaker.

Busy time always flies by quickly, glasses of wine are delivered, the clock on the wall has reached 11:30 in the music, and the number of people in the bar is gradually decreasing, so the voice that suddenly came over is very clear: "Gu Yi !"

The first floor of this area of ​​the entertainment city is a bar. As for the second floor, everyone is used to calling it a "private room".You can also drink and karaoke there, and more importantly, there are no ladies and young masters in the entertainment city. They are all called waiters, but when they go to the private rooms, their identities will have to be changed.

"It's Lily." Lu Ming's sharp eyes said, "Hey, isn't that Li Shao, he ordered Lily to come out?"

Li Shao is a frequent visitor of Haitian, his name is Li Tianyi, he is in his twenties, and he just returned from studying in the United States last year.No one knows what I learned, anyway, people don't need academic certificates-do you still need this stuff to work in your father's company?

Because he comes here often, Li Tianyi has a private room in Haitian, and every time he orders a few waiters to go in.According to the tacit unspoken rules of everyone, the waiter who agrees to enter the private room can be brought out by default.It seems that today, Li Tianyi ordered Lily.However, why did Lili call Gu Yi?

"Did Lily provoke Young Master Li?" Although the lights in the bar were flickering, Lu Ming still saw that the girl coming down the stairs had one hand tightly held by Li Tianyi, and the hem of the short wine red cheongsam was torn open. It seemed to be struggling to get away, "Brother Gu, she called you—"

Gu Yi lowered his head and wiped the shaker, as if he didn't hear Lu Ming's words.Lily said to the outside world that he was from his hometown.This is also very normal, more than half of the people in Haitian Entertainment City are from other places, they recognize fellow villagers and take care of each other.But now it seems that this fellow is going to cause trouble for him.

Li Tianyi frowned, and followed Lily's gaze towards the bar: "Which one is Gu Yi?"

He was also very upset.Since Lili is willing to enter the private room, she is willing to come out.Who knew that this woman changed her mind again when she came in, saying that she was going to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday at night, so she couldn't leave with him.If Li Tianyi came here today, maybe he would just curse a few words, anyway, there are some beautiful girls in Haitian, Lily is not willing, and some people are willing.But it happened that this was what his friends liked, and he lost face in front of them, which Young Master Li absolutely could not tolerate.

So Li Tianyi didn't care about the gentleman's demeanor, and dragged Lili out directly. He didn't expect that this woman would really dare to make a scene in public, and even yell at someone—he wanted to see who would dare to compete with him!

After being called by Li Tianyi, even if Gu Yi wanted to pretend not to hear, someone pointed him to show it to Li Tianyi.Li Tianyi was a little surprised when he found out that Lily was only calling out to a bartender. He let go of Lily's hands and let Lili break free. He ran to the edge of the bar on high heels, and grabbed Gu Yi: "Gu Yi, I won't go out with them!"

There was a moment of silence in the bar, and then someone booed.Those who haven’t returned home at this time are mostly masters who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Some people also know Li Tianyi, and they have some emotions that are difficult to explain clearly. If you don't want to go with you, forget it..."

Li Tianyi's face became even more ugly: "Where's the foreman?" These two people, don't even think about working in Haitian Entertainment anymore!

The foreman came early.She didn't know what wrong Lili made today, so she could only laugh with Li Tianyi: "Young Master Li, Young Master Tang, don't be angry. Lily doesn't know what to do, it's her own loss—you see, there are others here , I want to come to accompany Young Master Li." Lili is a dead girl, if things go wrong today, even if she sells her, she won't be able to pay for it.I don't know what illness she has, isn't she usually doing well?

Of course, Li Tianyi refused to give up: "Don't tell me, it's Miss Tang who ordered her today! Young Master Tang, what do you think?" This is his classmate when he was studying in the United States - of course, he went to a serious business school Well, he is just spending money to get a diploma in the so-called affiliated college.But no matter what, people will come to China this time to look for him and treat him as a classmate, so he can't lose face!

Lili rushed forward with a strong fragrance, and Gu Yi frowned slightly: "Why did you agree to enter the private room if you don't want to be announced?"

"I—" Lily choked, then lowered her head, let her curly curly chestnut red hair hang down to cover her face, and whispered, "I didn't expect that his friend is a witcher!" To her Said that it is very convenient to be introduced, anyway, she doesn't need to go into battle with real swords and guns, a few spells and a dream can be exchanged for money, why not do it?But I never expected that I probably didn't read the almanac when I went out today. I thought that a money giver came, but I found out that it was fatal after I went in.

"Demon hunter?" Gu Yi looked up, and Li Tianyi was already walking towards the bar, reeking of alcohol. Behind him was a young man leaning on the handrail of the stairs. A bright rose red shirt, with the sleeves rolled up crookedly, revealing a Van Cleef & Arpels watch on the wrist.

At night, this person also wore a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses on top of his head, with a half-smile expression on his face, under the flickering lights, he looked like a playboy.

Gu Yi quickly swept him from head to toe.Of course, he is not looking at sunglasses or watches, let alone handmade belts and leather shoes. What he is looking at is the body line of this young man hidden under the baggy clothes, sweeping across his shoulders, arms and overlapping legs, and finally It landed on his right hand holding the cigar.

As if sensing Gu Yi's gaze, the young man put the cigarette in his mouth, looked up to meet his gaze, and smiled at Lily by the way.This person looks like a mixed-race person, with fair skin, and his facial contours are obviously deeper than that of ordinary Asians, especially his eyes, which are a little jewel-like green under the light, adding a bit of charm when he smiles.

Faced with such a smile, Lili shrank back to Gu Yi, lowered her head even lower, and said in a barely audible voice: "This is Tang Shao—he has a tattoo under his collarbone, it's someone Few people recognize the badge of the demon hunter family... I have seen it from others before, and I heard that the demon hunters who come out are very powerful..."

Gu Yi turned to look at her, and replied with a barely audible voice: "So you dragged me into it?" This unkind woman!Oh no, it should be said - this unkind witch!
