Gu He's red coat with the characters "东TU" printed on it and the thermos cup in his hand were all incompatible with his surroundings.
The lobby on the first floor of Licai Club is divided into different areas with ring-shaped sofas. In the middle is a lively dance floor. A dazzling crystal ball lamp hangs above the hollow, with golden light, green light, purple light and other lights mixed in a psychedelic way.
The female guests sat on various sofas, laughing and drinking with different types of cowherds.
Both men and women, their clothes are very avant-garde, mixed with various elements, some are wearing kimonos, others are wearing ancient Egyptian cloaks, ancient Roman toga robes, some are cloth, some are plastic, some are shiny metal sheets, etc.
The speakers in the hall played the melodious songs full of classical charm by the popular female singer Oshima Yamako.
Sometimes when a guest gets excited about a song they like, they drag the Cowherd to the dance floor and spin around a few times.
Right in front of the dance floor was a large Santo screen that cost a lot of money to buy. It stood on the ground and played soft and graceful natural scenery.
There is also a Seth video phone available for guests to use for a fee.
Male waiters in black formal suits came and went with wine trays, serving newly opened drinks to the guests.
In addition to the guests, cowherds and staff, if you look carefully, you will see a group of homeless children waiting in the dark.
It was obviously not the first time for the little guys to come here. They all knew the rules and did not disturb the guests. They did not go to the dance floor. Even when they walked by, they bent down and lowered their heads in a sneaky manner to reduce the impact on others.
Whenever a customer pays and leaves the table, and the waiter carries the remaining drinks and food to the kitchen, they quickly emerge to follow them.
At this time, a middle-aged female customer happened to open a bottle of expensive wine worth tens of thousands of yuan. The muscular cowherd who served her announced the news loudly, and all the waiters in the room immediately cheered and applauded, "Mrs. Maori
, Mrs. Maori!”
"Jiaojiao is great!" Kumiko Ayane who walked by also clapped her hands with laughter, "Thank you, Mrs. Maori!"
The middle-aged female guest smiled and narrowed her eyes, enjoying the happiness of being surrounded by people.
Several other female customers didn't want to be upstaged, so they also opened drinks right now.
Gu He couldn't help but look at it a few more times. It turned out that the muscular man was Jiaojiao...
In comparison, his ability to sell wine seems to be really lacking.
However, after all, they have twin engines, and he has a single engine, so it’s almost the same.
The waiters who walked past would call Kumiko Ayane "Mom", and some female guests had already noticed the unique Gu He and asked with interest: "Kumiko, who is this?" "The newly launched earthy flavor"
Cowherd?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Xiaohe. He is still at the fish pond for the time being and has not officially made his debut."
Kumiko Ayane explained with a smile, "He has something to do today. If you are interested in him, you can call the fish pond to make an appointment."
The female guests nodded one after another, knowing to some extent that the fish pond was complex and gray, unlike the simple ones at Licai.
Even so, they looked at Gu He's little piece of fresh meat and wondered how they could taste the soup. There were still many people there.
Gu He felt the hungry eyes of the ladies around him and became more and more uneasy...
"We have some other work, you continue to have fun."
After thanking all the ladies, Ayane Kumiko led Gu He through the noisy hall and up the red-carpeted spiral wooden staircase to the second floor. The second floor contained some relatively private tables, chairs, and private rooms.
It's all about laughter.
Gu He followed her through a long corridor, and could vaguely hear karaoke singing and other sounds in the boxes on both sides.
Maybe, or maybe, life over there in the fish pond is simpler and fresher.
"Come." Kumiko Ayane called, opened the door to the room at the end of the corridor, and walked in.
Gu He also walked into this spacious room that should be her personal office and bedroom. The floor was paved with tatami mats, there was a row of bamboos on the wall, elegant curtains, lanterns, wind chimes and ukiyo-e paintings, and a log sliding door blocked the inner room.
bedroom.
There are also electronic equipment such as TVs, computers, video phones, etc.
Right next to the TV, there was a slightly curved purple-handled samurai sword hanging, with a cold light shining on the blade.
But the knife seemed to have not been used for a long time, or even taken off. The cloth wrapped around the handle was a little dusty.
There is a cloth sofa next to the bamboo, and there is a person sitting on the sofa.
On the wall opposite the sofa, there is a calligraphy and painting hanging, with only one ink word written on the paper: [quiet]
When Gu He looked at the man, the man was also looking at him.
He couldn't tell for a moment whether the person was a boy or a girl. He was not short, had a slender figure, and had short golden and rose-red hair with bangs. The upper half of his face was covered with heavy smoky makeup, and the lower half of his face was covered with heavy smoky makeup.
Wearing a hollow metal mask.
This man's clothes are also strange, a set of loose black clothes with white stripes, and the simple circles of white stripes are fascinating to look at.
Perhaps this is the disguised body and face of an extraordinary actor.
"Uh..." Gu He didn't know whether he should say hello, say hello, or not say anything at all.
"This is Xiaohe." Ayin Kumiko introduced, "This guest's code name is Pandora."
"Hello." Gu He said, Pandora's box.
"Let's get started." The person named Pandora was unwilling to say anything more, and her voice was indistinguishable from male to female.
Ayane Kumiko took out two head-to-brain connection helmets from the drawer of the table where the computer was placed. Compared to the helmets in the fish pond, they were newer and cleaner.
She asked Gu He to sit next to Pandora on the sofa, then put helmets on both of them and connected the various lines.
Gu He already knew what would happen next, but this was the first time for data transmission, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
But Pandora's mysterious face was still expressionless.
"Xiaohe, you don't have to do anything, just receive the data. Let's get started."
Ayane Kumiko said this and pressed the start buttons on both sides of the helmet.
Gu He was facing the calligraphy and painting. Suddenly, the strokes of the static character expanded endlessly. The nerves accelerated, accelerated, and a pixelated neural network world appeared before his eyes again.
He suddenly leaped forward and roamed in this endless sea of 0 and 1, with countless shapes, words and lights changing.
Suddenly, as a self-taught person, he felt a surge of external data coming in. Just like hearing sounds and seeing sights, he could clearly feel the existence of that data.
[It has been detected that there is external data requesting to be sent. Are you allowed to receive it? 】
As expected, a prompt box popped up on the console. This thing seemed to be a firewall.
Gu He thought and agreed, and the data immediately poured in.
But unlike the personality data of Lorna, Sakai and the others last time, this time he didn't have any memory residue or emotional resonance, it was just data, as if it was a blank data.
There is an absolutely high wall and dome blocking the front, enveloping the true content of these data.
It was a box, a Pandora's box, and he had no way of knowing what was inside.
But it must not be data written in ordinary computer language, otherwise it would be enough to use a floppy disk or other memory.
Miss Caiyin just said on the road that this is a kind of data written in extraordinary language relying on human brain nerves. It must be transmitted and interpreted by extraordinary people. It is encrypted and not copied. Any attempt to crack it illegally will self-destruct without leaving any physical traces.
.
When it is a doll-to-doll transmission, it can also ensure that the data is completely transferred and no longer exists in the mind of the middleman.
[Data transmission: 25%]
Gu He didn't know if the other person was a doll, he just felt that his nerves were expanding, swelling and protruding like congested blood vessels.
This mysterious data box was transmitted into his brain bit by bit until the percentage showed 100%.
[Transmission completed]
Gu He exhaled a long breath. It was not uncomfortable to say it was uncomfortable, but it was not easy either. He felt a little dizzy, like a feeling of imbalance after playing a 3D game for a long time.
He noticed that the data box was put into the database by the console, next to the three short movies.
Its file name is displayed as "Unknown Encrypted File", and its capacity is not displayed.
Suddenly, Gu He felt himself withdrawing from the neural network, the connection was disconnected, and the helmet was then taken off.
"Xiaohe, are you okay?" Kumiko Ayin asked, and Pandora also turned to look.
"Well, it's received well." Gu He nodded, "It's in my head."
Ayane Kumiko smiled when she heard this, "That's no problem, Pandora, do you have any other requests?"
Pandora looked at Gu He, "He is a newcomer, I just hope you can abide by the rules."
"Don't worry." Ayane Kumiko said solemnly, "That kind of thing won't happen in our fish pond."
"It's best that way." Pandora stood up, "Don't try to open it, it may be a loop of code, a box program with a certain function, or a virulent virus.
"Everything is fine, don't touch it. If you touch it, the file will be damaged and your brain will be damaged."
Gu He heard helplessly, do you understand psychology, do you understand reverse psychology...
"Unknown encrypted file"
He didn't want to touch it at first, but after what they said, he actually became a little curious... No, I don't want to be curious.
After Pandora finished speaking, she strode outside with her clothes and trousers making them look like many rotating circles.
"Miss Caiyin, do you know this guest?" Gu He asked, still a little worried about his own safety.
"I don't know." Ayane Kumiko said calmly, "It's the matchmaker from Yakuza. They both have an agreement, they just need a middleman." She emphasized again: "We don't care who it is, just pass on the data.
"
Gu He agreed, took a sip of wolfberry water, and rolled his eyes to look at his head.
Now a piece of data is in his head, like a time bomb.
"Let's go." Ayane Kumiko also walked outside, "Let's go to the Hongda Hall in Yakuza to deliver the goods."
Gu He followed her out of the room, went down to the first floor, passed through the noisy lobby on the first floor, and exited the main street from the main entrance of Licai Club. By this time, he could no longer see the figure of Pandora.
But there was a purple car parked at the door, and one of Licai's gatekeepers drove the car.
Ayane Kumiko got into the driver's seat, Gu He got into the passenger seat, and she drove away.
"Yakuza is the largest gang in Kabukicho. Basically, it has been around as long as Kabukicho has existed."
While driving through the noisy and bustling streets, she smiled and said: "Actually, Yakuza entered Flowing City earlier than Santo Company. In Flowing City, there are many different worlds, and districts are different worlds.
's boundary.
"But here in Kabukicho, Yakuza is the underground power, and the Yumi Gang, the Hirata Group, and our Reicai Fish Pond are all incomparable.
"Yakuza is divided into the headquarters and twelve halls, and each hall has its own sphere of influence.
"What we went to this time was Hongdahui, which is not far from Shouhui Street."
