Chapter 36
He Tianlin looked at Liu Xia flirting with the woman in a daze. It was the first time he saw such an unruly expression on Liu Xia's face. He sat on the sofa in shock, fiddling with the corner of his clothes at a loss.
The woman waved her hand, and soon a waiter wearing a silver mask came up with drinks and placed a row of red liquids in white plastic boxes on the table. There were about twelve cups in total.
"Let Tingting accompany you tonight." Tingting picked up a glass of red liquid and brought it to Liu Xia. She leaned against her and flirted with He Tianlin, who was sitting in the corner. "Do you want to arrange a beautiful woman to accompany this little brother?"
“No need for now…”
Liu Xia seemingly inadvertently blocked Tingting's move towards her gun case with her arm. She didn't respond to the conversation, but instead raised her hand to hold down the cup of red liquid in disdain, shaking her head in dissatisfaction. "Don't bring me this low-grade stuff extracted from mutant cockroaches. I heard you have clean, lead-sealed whiskey here. Don't worry, I don't have anything good to pay you with."
After saying that, Liu Xia took out a second-level alien beast core from his body and showed it to her to show that he had strong financial resources and could fully afford tonight's expenses.
"Ah..." Tingting covered her mouth in surprise when she saw the core of the strange beast, and laughed with a somewhat exaggerated expression.
"I can't tell you're a guest or a big customer. I'm so blind. It seems you're here tonight for the monthly show. Do you want Tingting to arrange a new seat for you?"
"Let's do it this way. I like the hustle and bustle." Liu Xia looked at her without comment and stuffed two pieces of mutant lizard shells into the woman's hands.
"The guests today seem to look down on us vulgar ladies."
Tingting stood up wisely, looking at the two of them with a bit of regret, then sighed in pretended disappointment, but couldn't hide the smile after receiving the tip: "I'll go get it for you right away. We need to ask our boss for permission for this level of drinks. Please wait a moment~"
As soon as Tingting left, Liu Xia called the waiter over and asked for two glasses of water, so that He Tianlin would not be too conspicuous sitting here alone. He needed to stay in the booth to avoid arousing suspicion from the staff here.
Liu Xia imitated the other guests, wandering around the hall casually with a glass of water in her hand. She seemed to be having fun, but in fact, her eyes were fixed on the movements of the graceful woman in the fishtail skirt.
Liu Xia walked and looked around. The environment inside the house was basically the same as the topographic map Zhou Wei gave her.
Judging from this, the laboratory should be on the second underground floor of this building, which is below the wine cellar on the first floor.
Liu Xia's actions just now were also to find the exact location of the wine cellar.
From the surface, "Paradise" is just an ordinary nightclub. The first floor is for ordinary casual customers who generally drink low-end mutant extracts, while the second floor is a more private box seat, which is specially for those hunters who are able to lick blood on the edge of the contaminated area, or those who already control the survival resources, to relax and have fun.
In the middle of the dance floor, there were two circular stages with silver steel pipes standing upright, both separated by silver iron fences. Inside, a man and a woman in more scantily clad clothes were twisting their bodies, surrounded by many casual patrons.
However, the first floor is not full of individual customers drinking cheap drinks. There are also hunters with metal prosthetic limbs and fierce eyes. I guess they are also the kind of people who like to be lively.
The exposed skin of the bartenders showed no signs of mutation. They all had smooth skin and looked like ordinary people. In fact, they looked more like modern people than the guests next to them.
It’s just that these people are generally thin and slender with good looks, either handsome and wild or cute and charming. Even in the real world, they can at least be internet celebrities.
From the gap between the stairs, we can see Tingting twisting her slender waist all the way from the first floor to the third floor. I guess Yu Sisi, the owner of "Paradise", is on the third floor.
At the entrance of the stairs on each floor, there are two security guards in black clothes and silver masks. They are very strong and sturdy, and their black suits are bulging. At first glance, they are both muscular martial artists.
If she tried to sneak in at this time, it would definitely cause a commotion, which she didn't want to see.
The purpose of Liu Xia's trip is not only to retrieve Yu Sisi, but also to destroy the human laboratory, rescue the poor woman inside, and achieve the goal of luring Shen Wanren out of the hive, so at this time she can only be patient and wait for the opportunity.
A spotlight suddenly shines onto the stage, and the soft and melodious music suddenly becomes dynamic. The red curtain slowly opens, and the surging dry ice mist surges onto the stage, slowly revealing the dancers inside.
A well-tailored purple casual suit wrapped around his slender legs. The silver mask that fitted his facial lines perfectly reflected brilliant light under the spotlight. His black hair with green highlights fluttered freely with the dancer's movements.
Unlike other dancers who expose large areas of skin on stage, he is wrapped tightly with only his hands and neck exposed to the air.
The dancer's right hand has been replaced by a metal prosthesis, which glows faintly under the cold light. The texture of the metal and its delicate and precise structure do not look like cheap goods.
The mechanical fingers tapped rhythmically to the drum beats, causing the audience to gasp.
He was dancing a modified version of robotic dance, in which the precise vibrations of the mechanical prosthesis and the flexibility of human muscles formed an eerie coordination.
Although her expression could not be seen due to the mask, and her body movements did not contain any excessive flirtatious gestures, she somehow exuded a kind of enticing fishing style.
This caused the female guests in the audience to scream continuously, and even many male guests could not help but applaud enthusiastically.
Those who controlled the resources and sat in the private booths on the second floor began to lose their patience. Their previous indifference to the performance downstairs had disappeared, and they all watched the performance of the purple-clad dancer on the stage through the fence on the second floor.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
There were several consecutive explosions, and suddenly several colorful sequins flew up from the top and edge of the stage, forming a gorgeous and dazzling sequin light curtain on the stage.
At this moment, the purple-robed dancer suddenly rose from the ground and floated in the air, with no visible threads connecting her body.
It was as if he suddenly had the ability to fly, and he flew into the air without the help of any tools. Two bright purple ribbons fluttering behind him added to his sense of elegance.
This time, not only was the reaction from the audience enthusiastic, but even the second floor erupted in cheers and applause.
The purple dancer's metal right hand was clenched in mid-air, circling down from the second floor and passing over the heads of the guests in the first-floor hall. The purple ribbon was carried by the wind and flew through the venue, like the flying fairy of Dunhuang on the stone wall.
Liu Xia was not far from the stage, but he could see the mystery.
The dancer had an extremely thin metal wire in his hand, and every time he changed places, he would shoot out another wire and nail it into the roof. This showed his amazing arm strength and grip.
A large number of people were attracted by the performance and most of them gathered in the front row. There was actually a lot of space next to Liu Xia, and the purple-clothed dancer actually flew from far to near in front of her.
The silver mask was very close to her, and she could even see the eyes of the purple dancer through the mask. They were a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and the sparkling pupils were staring at her intently.
"Be careful of traps."
An almost inaudible warning sounded in my ears.
