Chapter 3 This world is not simple!
No. 111 Wutong Road, Sakura Bird Bar.
It is already past eight o'clock in the evening and the city's nightlife has begun.
The street was full of various vehicles, and people who were out for fun were looking for their own places. Some went to shopping malls, some to movie theaters, some to eat barbecue snacks, and quite a few went to bars, nightclubs, and KTVs.
Most of this group are young people, and there should be some college students.
At the age of youth, it is natural for both men and women to love playing.
Inside the Sakura Bird Bar, the DJ had finished warming up the crowd. The waiters, dressed in white shirts and black trousers, began taking orders, pouring wine and serving fruit plates. The bar marketing staff kept calling to invite regulars and VIP users to come out and play.
Soon, the whole audience got into the mood and the lights gradually dimmed.
“Boom boom boom…”
With a powerful drum beat, deafening sound waves swept the entire space. The purple and blue laser lights with a strong sense of atmosphere replaced the original incandescent lamps. There were also colorful light balls rotating at a constant speed, reflecting dazzling light and illuminating several colorful heads. On the dance floor, both men and women were shaking their bodies and twisting their waists to the music.
Women with fashionable makeup and cool clothes were laughing and joking among the men. There were also handsome men and beautiful women clinging to each other, venting their desires.
People have different preferences, and Bai Xiao just thinks it's noisy.
In a corner of the bar, next to the marble bar, a young man in black security uniform stood where the laser light could not reach.
He stood with his feet slightly apart and his posture meticulous, his eyes slowly scanning the fashionable men and women in the booth in front of him, his face expressionless.
Bai Xiao is currently working as a bar security guard.
He was trying to trigger the occupation panel belonging to the bar security.
Tonight, Bai Xiao is very serious, whether it is the scantily clad tattooed dancers on the dance floor, the ambiguous kisses between men and women under the laser lights, or the DJ pop music flowing like a tide, and the hazy smell of alcohol.
Nothing could distract him.
On his retina, the panel that belonged to Bai Xiao almost occupied his entire field of vision and mind, and he could not move away at all. An ordinary person got an extraordinary opportunity. If he wanted to escape from his ordinary life that was slowly decaying, he had to grab it like a life-saving straw...
Grab that opportunity and never let go!
Time flies and it's two o'clock in the morning.
A young man in sportswear walked out from the back door of the bar.
Bai Xiao took out two pieces of Green Arrow chewing gum from his pocket and stuffed them into his mouth. He put his hands in his pockets and walked forward while chewing.
On the roadside, there were drunken girls wearing bright makeup and revealing clothes sitting on the edge of a flower bed, their cheeks flushed and their eyes blurred. There were also some tall and handsome boys flirting with the girls next to them.
Bai Xiao walked straight ahead and found his electric bike.
call out……
The electric car accelerated and headed towards Beihe Road.
The cold wind blew in his face. From time to time, Bai Xiao could see some men and women walking unsteadily on both sides of his field of vision. They seemed to be heading towards a nearby express hotel. It seemed that tonight was really high! The battery car turned a corner and came to a quiet and dim alley. He planned to take a shortcut back to the rental house.
Whoosh…
Drive forward quickly all the way.
The electric car passed a fork in the road, and Bai Xiao suddenly discovered in the dim light that there seemed to be a black figure standing in the fork. He was neither leaning against the wall nor squatting on the ground smoking, but standing in the middle.
It stood straight, motionless, and quietly facing this side.
The car was going very fast, Bai Xiao only had a vague glance, and the car passed the fork in an instant. But even so, he was suddenly startled, and felt hair all over his body, and goose bumps appeared on his arms.
It felt like suddenly encountering a poisonous snake in the jungle.
"That is..."
Before Bai Xiao had time to wonder, he heard a sudden and dense sound of footsteps chasing him from behind. He quickly looked in the rearview mirror and saw a blurry black figure running towards him, and a pair of eyes reflecting a strange green light. It looked like a predatory animal like a wolf.
Instantly, palpitations and panic gripped Bai Xiao's heart, making it hard for him to breathe. The next second, he became excited, and his blood kept rushing up. He grabbed the handlebars with both hands and turned the speed to the maximum.
Whoosh! Ta-ta-ta!
The alley was filled with the mixed sounds of two people chasing each other.
Time passed by minute by minute, and I didn't know when it happened.
The footsteps of the person running and chasing stopped and gradually disappeared.
Only the sound of the electric bike was left, disappearing at the end.
With a swish, the electric bike rushed out of the dim alley, turned a corner with a slight sway, and sped along the avenue at the fastest speed. Bai Xiao looked at the rearview mirror again, and there was no trace of the shadow. Only then did he suddenly breathe in a hot breath, his head felt dizzy, and his back felt cold.
"What is that...?"
"Robbery? Madman? Murderer?"
"Or... a prank?"
Bai Xiao's throat was extremely dry. He gasped and recalled the pair of green eyes emitting dim light in the alley just now. Was that... a human?
Bai Xiao vaguely remembered some biological knowledge. Human eyes do not have reflective membranes. Only animals like cats and wolves have eyes that emit green light.
"This world...maybe...is not simple..."
At 2:10 in the morning, in the Sunshine Community, in Bai Xiao’s rental house.
The shower head continuously sprays cool water downwards.
Bai Xiao leaned on the bathroom wall with one hand, his head lowered. The black hair on his temples was wet by the water, and it stuck to his forehead in a mess, like scattered willow branches. He kept chewing gum in his mouth, even though it no longer tasted sweet. This was Bai Xiao's habit, he liked chewing gum very much.
When you are physically and mentally relaxed or extremely tense.
Five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes.
The bathroom light was always on.
It was not until 2:30 in the morning that Bai Xiao came out with a pale face.
He lay exhausted on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
I just stared at it for another ten minutes.
Bai Xiaocai talked to himself, breaking the silence in the room.
"Tomorrow, I must unlock the fighter profession!!!"
Twenty minutes later, the cool moonlight that came through the gap in the curtains was like a veil, gently draping over the young man's face. Bai Xiao, who was sleeping, still had his brows tightly furrowed, as if he was having a nightmare.
Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling…
At the head of the bed covered by sunlight, Bai Xiao suddenly woke up from his dream, his face was hideous. He was breathing heavily, and cold sweat had soaked his back.
He turned around and found himself in a safe rental house. Bai Xiao finally came to his senses and checked the time on his phone.
It's half past nine.
After sitting on the bed for five minutes, he quickly walked into the bathroom.
At 9:40, Bai Xiao put on his most common black sportswear, put on his sneakers, put on a blue canvas bag, and set off.
today.
Bai Xiao’s urge to unlock the fighter profession is extremely strong!
