The sun sets and lights are lit to continue the day.

Subways heading into the downtown area are particularly crowded.

But it was different from usual times. The young men and women standing or sitting in this carriage seemed to have dressed up carefully, wearing strange costumes. Some were dressed as zombies and some as vampire queens.

Many young people took out various masks from their bags, some of which could cover the entire face, while others only covered part of the face. They discussed with their companions with great interest, making Jiang Ji and the other two look out of place.

"Does this subway go to the city center or to Hogwarts?"

Ah Jin grabbed the handle of the subway, turned his head and whispered, "We haven't prepared anything, what should we do?"

Jiang Ji thought for a moment, "It should be provided on site, right?"

After getting off the subway, I didn't need their navigation. I just followed the bustling crowd, passed by a busy bar street, turned into a dark alley, and finally found this newly opened bar.

This organization's base was completely different from what Jiang Ji had imagined.

The outside of the bar was very ordinary, like an abandoned factory. The narrow alley was noisy because of the long queues of people. There were all kinds of exaggerated graffiti on the walls. The storefront was particularly narrow and it seemed crowded even if two people walked in side by side.

You can't see clearly what's going on inside from the outside, but the sound insulation is very good, and you can't hear the music inside at all.

There was garbage piled up next to the entrance, with bulging black garbage bags stacked together, emitting a frowning odor.

The sign on the door was also very simple, a square, pure white sign like that of an old-fashioned dance hall, with the two characters "Half Awake" neatly written on it in regular script in red, giving it the feeling of a roadside massage parlor.

If they hadn't seen these young people walking in, they would have thought they had come to the wrong place.

There was a simple small platform at the door. The team moved forward very quickly. When it was their turn, a tall and long-legged handsome man wearing a neat white shirt and a black suit vest stretched out his hand with a half-leather glove to stop them and said with a smile:

"Everyone, today is the 'Half Awake' masquerade ball, and you need to wear a mask to enter. It seems that you forgot to prepare the mask, please wait a moment, we can provide it here for free."

"Okay," Jiang Ji fanned his nose and frowned slightly, "You guys smell like dead rats."

The handsome guy kept his expression unchanged and smiled, "Sorry, the weather is getting hot. The garbage truck will be here soon and will take it away soon."

He held the headset and arranged everything in an orderly manner. Several people waited at the door for a while, and soon, a young bartender who was also well-dressed and well-dressed walked out, holding three small animal masks that half covered his face.

Jiang Ji picked up a butterfly mask and put it on his face.

Ajin and Anrou each took a dog and rabbit mask.

After they entered the scene, the young man took a look at the blood slowly flowing out from under the pile of garbage bags, and his smile deepened.

What caught my eye was a curved corridor with full-screen LEDs. On the big screen, countless identical technological faces were constantly changing, with stiff expressions and delicate but lifeless features. Sweet female voices kept ringing from all directions: "Thank you for coming, and have fun!"

Jiang Ji: “…” Very avant-garde, and also very dark.

After finally passing through this corridor, various neon elements appeared in the hall. Various mechanical prostheses were inlaid upside down above the head. Whenever the colorful rotating lights swept by, a cool and cold luster would pass by on the metal body, as if you had come to the ruins of a future battlefield.

High-definition screens were erected on all four sides, simulating a neighborhood on a rainy night. The light of neon signs was faintly reflected on ice buckets and wine glasses, as if traveling through a corridor of time and space and arriving in another world.

“…”

It is no wonder that this bar style with distinctive personality and cool futuristic style is praised by so many young people.

You can tell at first glance that money was spent, thanks to the number one brother on the list, the Su family.

They arrived relatively early, but most of the booths and tables in the store were already full.

Looking around, Sadako was playing bottle-clinking with zombies, and the ghost bride in Chinese horror was rolling dice with a Western bandaged monster.

Jin rubbed his arms, "Isn't this a mask theme? It's not even Halloween yet!"

An Rou said, "What if a real person sneaks in here..."

Yes, what's more...

A Jin secretly glanced at Jiang Ji beside him and swallowed.

Jiang Ji smiled: "Don't say that to me anymore, I can hear you."

There are blurry and flickering lights above the head and noisy and deafening music in the ears. Under the mask, the repressed soul is released.

With the revival of the supernatural, these young people have passed the first stage of panic and quickly transitioned to the second stage.

Apart from gyms, nightclubs are the best business at this stage.

The idea of ​​"Ten thousand years is too long, we must seize the day" is widely promoted on the Internet, just like the upper class people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties who were addicted to Wu Shi San and hoped to escape from the mundane world and live a life of drunkenness and dreams. However, as human cities are destroyed one after another by ghosts, they will soon degenerate into a crazy direction, such as zero-yuan shopping and looting.

With such a good business, of course there are also people who come in to cause trouble and have bad intentions.

Jiang Ji saw many men with rolling eyes squatting in the bathroom corridor. When they saw a few drunken young girls, they would approach them to help them, but they were all politely asked to leave by the nearby waiters.

On the stage, a new wave band that has been very popular recently is performing.

When singing the most exciting part, the lead singer took off his jacket and threw it to the audience, and the atmosphere instantly reached its peak.

What a grand occasion... Jiang Ji was filled with emotion.

In front of the bar, Xie Yu, wearing a half-iris mask, was mixing cocktails. The suit and vest outlined his thin figure, and his exposed eyebrows and eyes were particularly clear and vivid. The girl next to him couldn't help but stare at him in a trance.

An Rou and A Jin sat in a row opposite, their hands respectfully placed on their legs, looking a little reserved. Jiang Ji inexplicably felt like he was leading these kids astray.

"Is this your first time here?"

Ajin and Anrou on the opposite side nodded obediently.

"What a coincidence, me too."

The original body had indeed never been to a nightclub, so she was not lying. Seeing that the two were half-believing and half-doubting, Jiang Ji changed the subject, "But I came here today and found that coming here is as friendly as going home. There are so many handsome guys!"

Jin: ...

An Rou: ...

After singing this song, the host lifted his long wavy hair, took off the microphone, and said loudly: "Dear audience, "Half Awakened" will go out for one minute at 11:00, 12:00, and 1:00 tonight. Please don't panic and enjoy this psychedelic
