Prohibition of losing contact

BlackBar is easy to find on Bar Street.

The mechanical door face has a steampunk decoration style. There are rusty iron water pipes exposed on the door, interlaced to support a slightly skewed huge signboard, and the English letters embedded on the signboard can be seen from a long distance away.

Unlike other bars, BlackBar's door is closed, and it doesn't rely on sound and gimmicks to attract customers. It just puts an old-looking iron floor board at the door, and an A4 with "Today's Event" is crookedly pasted on it. Paper, it seems a bit too perfunctory.

Standing at the door, Pei You carefully compared the shop sign in front of him with the chat information on the phone screen for the last time, and finally confirmed that this was the final destination of his trip.

It looks a little special, Pei You thought.

The door of this bar is dusty, but the flow of customers is better than other bars in the same period. Pei You walked all the way from across the street, and the customers of this bar have never stopped, and the iron door keeps being pushed open and closed , some funny "welcome" prompts jingle at the door.

The paint-peeled welcome sensor is paired with the "event notice" crookedly pasted with old tape at the door.

If you are too perfunctory, you will appear mysterious. Pei You put away your phone, and stood at the door as if you were facing an enemy, staring at the swinging iron door in front of you. You always feel that if you push it down with your hand, you might accidentally enter a brand new door. world.

——After all, those young girls in the office said so after reading urban ghost stories, Pei You thought.

The confusion and resistance to the unfamiliar field intertwined with the agreed meeting, and Pei Youtian fought for a full 5 minutes before he gritted his teeth and walked forward to push open the door of BlackBar.

Fortunately, none of the special circumstances that Pei You had expected occurred. The atmosphere inside the BlackBar was much more normal than outside. There were no special personnel checking identities, nor shiny silver security equipment. Only waiters in tuxedos came up to receive Ask the guest if they have an appointment.

Pei You couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time laughed in his heart for making a fuss out of a molehill.

"I don't have an appointment." Pei You said, "I'm here to find someone. Where is Area C?"

"Inner area." The waiter made a guiding gesture and said with a smile: "You just walk in along this corridor, pass through the stage, and then go in."

Pei You nodded slightly, thanked him politely, and then walked inside following his guidance.

The interior decoration style of BlackBar is somewhat biased. As soon as you enter the main entrance, you will see a long steel corridor. The colorful ambient lights are hidden behind the deliberately blackened steel railings, hiding a large area of ​​visual area in the shadow of light pollution. inside.

The further you went in, the harsher the sound of the stereo in the bar became, Pei You frowned a little uncomfortably, and stretched out his hands to rub his ears.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he was finally able to escape from this corridor.

He brushed past the stranger standing in front of him sideways, and was about to follow the waiter's guidance to Area C, when he suddenly heard a sharp applause from the crowd not far away, followed by applause, whistling and hissing Kneaded into a ball, it even overwhelmed the sound of the heavy drum for a while.

Pei You subconsciously turned his head to look at the center of the commotion, but after only a short glance, he suddenly froze in place.

In the center of the high stage not far away was a familiar face——Zhou Qingbai was sitting on a metal high stool, with one foot on the ground and the other on the leg rest of the stool, holding a A full bottle of white rum was thrown behind him without looking at it.

The [-]ml slender bottle was soaring high in the air, as long as it landed, it would be a disaster. Before Pei You realized why Zhou Qingbai was here, he was already startled by his action, and subconsciously raised it, and for a while Breathing is stagnant.

But in the next second, Zhou Qingbai just turned the stool lightly with his toes, and the wine bottle returned to his hand, and it was firmly held by the back of his hand impartially. Did not spill out.

He never left his chair the whole time, and he didn't even turn his head to look at the wine bottle that turned several times in mid-air. Turning around in a circle, he held it back in his palm again.

Pei You's heart fell back into his stomach with a bang, but the doubts in his heart increased rather than diminished.He stared blankly at the familiar face on the stage, feeling a little skeptical about life for a while.

Does Zhou Qingbai have twin brothers?Pei You suddenly thought, or did the urban ghost talk come true, did he really stray into the parallel world?

On the stage, Zhou Qingbai raised his eyebrows high and whistled a long whistle towards the stage, which caused another round of applause.

After playing a set of coherent fancy movements, he was finally willing to leave the chair. He hooked the metal high stool and lay down on the ground, rolling backwards, followed by the waiter guarding the table. move away.

The rock music on the stereo was approaching its climax, and the solo of the electric guitar came in abruptly. Following the sound of the music, Zhou Qingbai threw the bottle of wine back on the table, shook his clothes with one hand, and showed a wicked smile with the corners of his lips curled up Come.

It's so flamboyant, that's the only word that pops up in Pei You's mind for a while.

But subconsciously, he feels that this word should not appear on Zhou Qingbai—because he is always silent, low-key, and has no sense of presence in group meetings. Knocking on his door for lunch or coffee, just like thousands of migrant workers in the world.

But the man on the stage had nothing to do with this impression. He was wearing a silver coat that was very similar to the style of today's stage, and he was stepping on a pair of high-top studded Martin boots. There were two holes in the lining T-shirt, revealing Underneath is a thin layer of sweaty abs.

There is a pure black microphone earphone on his right ear, and nothing on his left ear, only a square ruby ​​earring on the earlobe shining under the lamp.

Pei You stared blankly for a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind in a short time, but he couldn't catch any of them.

As the performance came to an end, the crowd around the stage surged forward like a heat wave. Pei You was carried forward by the crowd, and was bumped hard on the back shoulder by a stranger.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The person who hit him apologized repeatedly: "I didn't mean it."

"It's okay." Pei You blinked, but still couldn't react, his eyes were still on the stage, and his voice seemed a little erratic: "Do you know who is that on stage?"

"I know." The person who bumped him reached out and put his hand on Pei You's shoulder, and shouted at him in the loud rock music: "That's Brother Zhou! BlackBar's senior fancy bartender, when he usually comes Not fixed, you are here today!"

"Brother Zhou?" Pei You chewed the title in his heart, and subconsciously asked, "What's his name?"

"Zhou Qingbai." The person next to him replied.

Pei You got the expected answer, couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, thinking why he was so stupid again and again today, how could there be two people so similar in this world.

But when one problem was solved, another new problem emerged. Looking at the complete stranger on the stage, Pei You doubted life for a while.

Is he the one I know?Pei You thought.

On the stage, Zhou Qingbai made a throwing, rolling and grabbing movement, then walked two steps along the stage to the side, and stood in front of a square table with a tower of wine glasses stacked behind the stage.

Then he flipped over with one hand twice, and suddenly raised his finger to his lips, making a silent gesture.

"Shh-"

The crowd under the stage was subconsciously driven by him, and even Pei You held his breath and couldn't help but look at him. The music in the speaker became calmer, and a very light piano ensemble was inserted.

Zhou Qingbai straightened his waist and looked around condescendingly. Immediately afterwards, he threw the object in his hand into the air, then folded his hands together, and suddenly a bean of flame danced out of the palm of his hand.

In the next second, he picked up the spark with his fingertips and casually threw it on the wine glass tower. The wine glass tower was immediately ignited by him, and blue fireworks more than two meters high shot up out of thin air.

The background music suddenly turned to a climax, and the fire completely ignited the atmosphere, and the screams almost pierced the eardrums.

"The scorching sun in the west." Zhou Qingbai made a curtain call lazily and perfunctorily, and said with a light smile, "Let's have fun together."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the blue flames flying into the sky, but Pei You's eyes couldn't help falling on Zhou Qingbai's face.

He looked at Zhou Qingbai's profile illuminated by the flames, and his heart stopped for a very short time.
