The sea that was tilted upside down in the sky turned into stormy waves, and it rained heavily.
The heavy rain engulfed the entire town, leaving only the sound of raindrops in my ears.
And what falls from the sea is not only rain, but also sea fish with human faces, starfish with eyes...
Jiang Che hid under the eaves, feeling lingering fear.
"If you get caught in the rain, scales will grow on you. If your whole body gets wet, will you turn into a fish?"
Xiaoman: "How about you give it a try?"
Xiao Meng: "Become Ponyo?"
Jiang Che: "I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now..."
The rain comes and goes quickly.
When the rain stopped, the fish that were originally struggling on the ground turned into pools of sea water and seeped into the ground.
Jiang Che took a look at the piece of paper given by Claire and decided to go to the tavern to try his luck first.
There is really too little information about this challenge, and Claire's appearance may be another way to provide clues.
Of course, there may be other purposes.
Jiang Che walked "tatata" on the street.
Although there is still water on the road, it does not have the same effect as rain. Even if it accidentally splashes, it will not cause scales to grow on the body.
Not long after, Jiang Che saw the tavern that Claire was talking about.
There were many oak barrels stacked at the door of the tavern, and a fat man was dragging an octopus about the same size as a human into the room.
"Thank God, with this octopus, the tavern's business will definitely get better."
"Excuse me, are you the owner of the tavern?" Jiang Che asked cautiously, with one hand behind his back, holding a black knife in his hand.
When the fat man turned around, Jiang Che saw a face that looked very similar to a fat-headed fish. There was even a lot of mucus on this face.
"Oh~ look, look, where did this mouse come from?"
"Little mouse, do you have a problem with me?" The tavern owner grinned, revealing two rows of tiny, messy fangs.
"Mrs. Claire asked me to come." Jiang Che handed over the piece of paper with a red seal.
"Claire?"
The tavern owner took the piece of paper, his brows knitted together, and mucus kept being squeezed out of his pores.
Jiang Che: "..."
Xiaoman: "How disgusting."
Xiaomeng: "Like snot!"
Xiaoman: "Oh, don't talk!"
Xiaomeng: "That's right..."
The tavern owner suddenly stuffed the piece of paper into his mouth and chewed it.
After a while, he said: "Well, this is indeed the smell of Mrs. Claire."
"Little mouse, come in."
The tavern owner grabbed one of the octopus's tentacles and walked into the tavern, and Jiang Che followed.
When Jiang Che entered the tavern, he realized that the interior space of this seemingly inconspicuous tavern was very large.
No matter what, it must be seven to eight hundred square meters.
What's even more surprising is that everything in the tavern is upside down.
The floor becomes the ceiling, with a crystal lamp hanging in the middle.
The ceiling is filled with tables, chairs and stools, as well as a circular bar, wine cabinets, etc...
If Newton knew, he would have to climb out of the coffin...
In the corner of the pub, there was a man with a beard drinking.
As for Jiang Che, there is a staircase going down.
At this moment, a line of blood words finally appeared in his mind.
[I hate it when people say bad things about my tavern. If I know who it is, I will definitely arrest him and make him drink! 】
"Little mouse, why are you still standing there?" The tavern owner who had arrived at the bar looked at Jiang Che with a somewhat unhappy tone.
Jiang Che: "No, I was just shocked."
Tavern owner: "Amazing?"
"Yes, this tavern is really great!" Jiang Che said in a sincere tone as he glanced at the cockroaches on the table, the mice in the corner, and the mottled stains on the floor.
The tavern owner grinned and said with a smile: "That's for sure, come and have a drink! By the way, what's your name?"
Jiang Che walked down the steps, came to the bar, and said, "Ward Gil Bang Banggong, you can call me Bang Banggang."
"What a good name, Gil." The tavern owner praised it.
Jiang Che: "..."
The tavern owner poured Jiang Che a glass of wine.
The wine looked thick, like the mucus on the boss's face.
But the boss said very politely: "Come on, come on, after finishing this drink, there will be another one."
Jiang Che smiled and said, "I don't drink well..."
"Are you disgusted with my wine?!" The boss was so angry that he was secreting mucus all over his body.
Seeing this, Jiang Che could only hold back his nausea and picked up the wine glass.
Drink it all in one gulp!
Tavern owner: "After this drink, there will be three more."
"?" Jiang Che. Are you Wubai's younger brother, Two Hundred and Five?
Just when Jiang Che was about to curse, the tavern owner smiled and said, "Look at your expression, what's wrong? It's not enough to buy you one drink. Do you really want to drink three more? Oh my God, you are simply dreaming."
Jiang Che: "..."
Seeing that the boss was in a good mood, Jiang Che took the opportunity to ask: "Boss, have you seen other... other mice?"
"Oh, you mean the little mouse like you? Jill."
"..."
"Don't worry Jill, since Mrs. Clare introduced you to me, you will be different from those mice in the future."
"Can you tell me where those mice are?" Jiang Che asked.
The tavern owner suddenly stared at Jiang Che.
After a while, he finally spoke: "I have indeed seen another mouse. He is very short and has a very wretched appearance."
Jiang Che: Damn it, Zhuge Ye!
"Where is he?"
"You want to know?"
Jiang Che did not answer, but instead smiled and said, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"You're so smart, Jill."
The tavern owner took out a wrinkled bill stained with mucus and said: "Claude, this damn drunkard, owes us a lot of money. Go and get it back."
"As long as you come back with the money, I will tell you the news about the mouse."
Jiang Che took the bill and took a look at it.
A man named Claude spent 20,000 sly coins but received no money.
There is his address on the bill.
Seeing that Jiang Che did not agree directly, the tavern owner continued: "Don't worry, Jill, as long as you can bring the money back, I will have another reward for you."
"Wine?" Jiang Che asked.
The tavern owner quickly shook his head and said, "Mine is very precious, but I can tell you how to get out of here."
"A lot of rats came here a month ago. They always wanted to leave the town, but they didn't seem to find a way to leave, hahaha..."
"Jill, what do you think of this deal?"
a month ago…
It seems that the previous batch of gatekeepers also entered this scene. Jiang Che thought in his mind.
Jiang Che smiled and said, "Boss, you're welcome. It's an honor for me to serve the owner of such a luxurious tavern."
The tavern owner raised his chin towards the door on the ceiling, "Go ahead, Jill."
"Wait for my good news." Jiang Che turned and left.
But you, after Jiang Che left, the tavern owner nodded to the man in the corner.
The man stood up, tightened his oversized windbreaker, and followed him out.
A sleepy little town.
There is weirdness everywhere.
The tavern owner pinned the octopus to the chopping board with a twisted and greedy expression.
