The deep night sky was like ink, and heavy rain poured down.
The neon sign of the bar in my hometown gave off a vague light, wavering in the rain, and seemed to be extinguished at any time and turn into complete darkness.
Old jazz music was playing in the bar warehouse, but the gentle melody was about to be covered by the sound of heavy rain.
At the bar, Sister Hua was looking at some documents and books, and Ginny was mixing drinks.
At the door, Xing Bao followed Mohawk and pointed.
Mohican had previously moved several heavy machine guns down from the second floor. At this time, he was making arrangements and loading ammunition. The long bullet chains on the machine guns were hanging to the ground.
Lei Yue was helping out before, but Sister Hua asked him to come back and sit down at the bar, looking at this and that, absentmindedly.
Tonight, because he remembered some of the crows gathering at the garbage dump, he felt that his heart was constantly restless.
Crow, crow, fly home...
"No." He shook his head violently again to drive away the inexplicable singing voice that came from nowhere.
Stop arguing, I don't want to remember it.
Lei Yue took a deep breath slowly, using the method taught by the doctor, just like he had done for many years:
Adjust your breath, relax your mind, and hide all these restlessness in the box in your heart.
Close the box, close it, never see it again.
"Xiaoyue, let's have a drink, Ayasha can handle it, don't be so nervous."
Ginny pushed a cocktail to Lei Yue. She was already drunk, and she winked at him again:
"How about we go upstairs and relax first?"
"Just stop messing with him." Sister Hua scolded Ginny and said to Lei Yue: "Let's talk about business.
"The door to the world is about to open, and we should start building momentum.
"Originally, I couldn't get you into Spread Daily. I didn't have that big of a network, so I could only get you into a few tabloids for interviews.
"But your boy is actually a local of Fulong Village, which is different. We want to be published in "Spread Daily".
"There are also many newspapers and magazines, and many video websites!"
Sister Hua couldn't help but smile as she spoke, and her eyes seemed to turn into coins.
"This time, we really have a chance to take a bite out of the mainstream market." She was really confident.
Lei Yue listened to this and immediately smiled, driven by Ginny's cheers.
Interview with a major newspaper...
He felt a little clearer in his heart, and his restlessness was quietly suppressed.
"Sister Hua, do all interview scripts have to be prepared in advance?" he asked.
"What are you thinking about? Of course!"
Sister Hua almost didn’t use the manuscript document to pat Lei Yue’s head,
“Otherwise, wouldn’t the true nature of the cannon be exposed immediately?
"I can't control the specific questions people ask. I can only draw a certain range, and we have to be prepared for the explanations of various questions in it. You should take a look at these first."
Sister Hua handed the document in her hand to Lei Yue and wanted to work with Ginny and him to decide how to conduct the interview.
Lei Yue had just received the document and hadn't looked at it carefully yet.
Suddenly, a faint mist suddenly appeared beside the bar, and then there was a click.
There was a figure of a girl with colored hair riding a yellow skateboard, flashing out of the mist. She was so fast that she could barely stop, her Harajuku-style colored hair was a little wet from the rain.
"Lingsha!" Lei Yue couldn't help shouting. Seeing her in good condition, a big stone was about to fall in his heart.
"What you want to get."
Ayasha put a full black plastic bag on the bar, "It's all in there."
Lei Yue immediately took the bag and opened it to take a look.
Sure enough, the three spiritual tablets from my mother-in-law, my parents, and the photo frame with the family portrait were all there.
Great, everyone is here.
While putting these things back into his backpack, he smiled at Ayasha and said:
"Whether it's a favor or a big adventure...thank you!"
Sister Hua, Ginny all breathed a sigh of relief.
Xingbao walked over quickly, but there was still worry on Madoka's face, "Sister Ayasha?"
Suddenly, Ayasha staggered on her feet. She seemed to have been dizzy for a moment and almost lost her ability to step on the skateboard. She stretched out her hand to support the bar table.
Lei Yue's heart suddenly lifted up before he could relax, and he realized through the glare that Ayasha's complexion was not very good.
At this time, a few colorful hairs fell from her ears, as if they had been cut. The broken hairs could not keep up with the speed of her flash, and now they fell.
"What...what's going on?" Ginny asked hurriedly.
When Xing Bao saw it, he puffed up his cheeks in both understanding and helplessness, something was really wrong.
"It's nothing, I was almost bitten by a dog."
Ayasha said softly, took a drink from a cocktail on the bar, and looked at Lei Yue, who frowned.
"It was at your house that several agents from the Bureau of Investigation came to search for you, and they happened to run into them."
She shrugged, "Those snipers are still chasing me, and they are biting hard. I can't get rid of them completely."
At this moment, Sister Hua's expression changed drastically, and the mohawk at the door also darkened.
Lei Yue was stunned, and Sister Hua asked in shock: "Why do the police want to arrest you? Have you committed a crime? Or do they know that you have a blank card?"
"Last time I went back to the village, I encountered some cops staring at me in the village market..." Lei Yue said, "Maybe they have been informed."
As he said this, he felt the weight of the secret in his pocket.
"It's not that simple." Ayasha said, with a bit of fun in her tone:
"Their attitude was not for investigation and questioning, it was clear that they wanted to do something dirty.
"You are from Fulong Village, and you are being targeted like this. These people may think that you are a resonance source, or a part of the resonance source."
She has had many interactions since she was a child, and she understands the thoughts and styles of the police officers very well:
"It's even possible that they are jumping over the wall and hunting all the local empty cards in Fu Rong Village, trying to use this method to end the resonance between the two worlds."
Lei Yue couldn't help but be more startled, "Ah!?"
He now understood what Ayasha was saying. The Gate of the World was not really a gate, but a threshold realm that stably overlapped with the main realm.
It is said that some existing studies have shown that this kind of spatial overlapping fusion is similar to foreign body resonance.
The Gate of the World is the result of the extra-dimensional resonance of the two worlds, and this resonance can be caused by specific things, including the human body, but it is usually a large-scale procedural ritual performed by many people.
And now, what did you do?
Picked up that shotgun?
Even so...
However, those people don't necessarily want to "do evil things" like Ayasha said, right?
Lei Yue's heart was tense, all kinds of thoughts were in a mess, and the restlessness in his heart rebounded again, growing rapidly.
"How could it be?" He still didn't want to believe it, and felt that the situation was indeed a bit funny, "Those people you mentioned, they, they are..."
"They made the right choice." Ayasha interrupted his hesitant and confused words. A smile appeared on her face, and she did not feel surprised by the words:
“This is called preferring to kill the wrong person rather than letting him go.
"This is not the first time Tiaozi has done this.
"Perhaps when I think of you in a few years, I will cry a few times to show my kindness and progress. Usually there is no such thing."
With a buzzing sound, Lei Yue's mind became more and more confused.
Special Investigation Bureau agents, hunting me?
In order to stop the opening of the gate to the world? I might be the resonance source of the gate?
No, those people are...
"Oh my god!" Sister Hua's expression couldn't be stretched, and her mentality almost collapsed, and she shouted:
"I knew there was no such good thing. I just wanted to make money honestly and live a peaceful life..."
Ginny was so frightened that she woke up from the wine and asked again and again:
"Ayasha, you mean the agents are on the way? How much time do we have?"
"Is there synthetic oil in it? Synthetic oil won't do this, it's impossible, synthetic oil won't do it!"
"I didn't see it." Ayasha responded, regardless of what Ginny thought, and added:
"The team leader is a woman. She is very strong. She should be a championship ace. She has pure fighting ability. I can run away from her, but I can't beat her.
"When they saw me, they opened fire without saying a word. They probably wanted to drive me to follow the clues and find the real target.
"I have already shown my face. I have some criminal records in the police department, the investigation bureau, and the border patrol office. I can't hide it in my hometown bar.
"So I'd better rush back, lest you be caught off guard and kicked all over."
Sister Hua nodded, gritted her teeth, took a breath, and braced herself.
She shouted to Mohawk over there, "Old Mo, a champion ace is coming to kill me, what should I do? You are responsible for the security!"
"Ayasa, you're right to come back." Ginny was also saying, "Whether it's fighting or running, we need your abilities."
After hearing this, Lei Yue had new doubts, "Champion series?"
Ginny immediately gave him a brief explanation of the championship system, and the more she spoke, the more bitter she became:
"The champion ace is like...another level, very powerful."
Lei Yue pondered, even Lingsha can't handle it...
At the same time, the mohawk at the door said without thinking: "Run, run right away.
"It doesn't matter whether we can survive the fight or not. If we kill him in the fight, we will definitely not be able to carry out this star project. We should go to jail first. And..."
The Chinese character Mohawk has no expression on his face.
"It's true that we can't beat him. Only Ayasa and I are aliens here.
"There are only empty cards left, and there is a brat like Xing Bao here, how can I fight? Run away."
"Yeah, run away!" Xingbao nodded, carrying a small schoolbag that had already been packed, and came up with an idea:
"Sister Ayasha, you go find a ghost gate, let's go hide in Spread City first.
"When the gate to the world opens, Dongzhou is taken over by the committee, and the "World Fusion Law" of the main realm is implemented, the agents will not be able to arrest people.
"When the time comes, if we want, we can still dance in front of them!"
Sister Hua nodded, agreed to the escape plan, and said quickly:
"That's it, we're almost at the door. Even if we call Saito Company now and those people from "Spread Daily" publicize that you may be the source of the resonance and make the matter bigger to stop the cops, it's too late."
Mohawk walked towards the bar and sat down on a high stool. There was a dark Gatling gun next to him.
"You guys go, it will take time for Ayasha to find the ghost door. Let's drag the people here for a while."
"Yes, Ginny, you and I will stay too." Sister Hua said decisively, "We can't just fight. If there is no one to negotiate, people may really die."
Lei Yue watched and listened to their quick arrangements. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, he felt a pair of claws of the crow on his left shoulder clawing hard, causing severe pain as if his skin was being torn apart.
"Friend..." Lei Yue turned around and saw that its eyes were as dark as an abyss.
The danger alarm has sounded, and it is more serious than any previous alarm.
"Old Mo, Sister Hua, Ginny!" He couldn't help calling everyone, "Let's all go. As for Lucky, if he bumps back by himself, let him bump into him..."
Even at such a moment, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and Xing Bao was also happy.
Lei Yue also laughed, but his laughter was very harsh.
"I won't run away anymore. I'm tired." Mohawk reached for a bottle of liquor, popped the cork out, and took a swig. "I just want to stay in my hometown for a while."
"Oh, Lao Mo, you failed to quit drinking!" Ginny immediately pointed at Lao Mo, "How many days did you persist this time?"
"What a failure? Don't put it in such a bad tone. After drinking this bottle, it will be the first day of quitting drinking." Mohawk took a few sips of wine in succession, sipping on the taste.
Bang bang, Lingsha threw the black skateboard she brought with her to the ground next to Lei Yue, and threw the small red skateboard to Xingbao.
She still stepped on the yellow long board, kicked off the ground, and slid toward the back door of the bar.
"Wait a minute, let me put on the helmet first!" Xing Bao weighed his feet, reached out his hand, took an orange children's helmet from the bar and put it on, "I don't want to die at the age of 5."
Lei Yue can now drive a motorcycle, and he has the crazy motorcycle called "Black Bull" given to him by Mohawk.
But if you want to walk around in the cramped, dilapidated alleys outside, skateboarding is more convenient.
Seeing that Ayasha had already taken action, he still hesitated, "No, it would be very dangerous to stay here to hold off the note..."
"Let's go, Lao Mo, Sister Hua and these people are all old people. They won't die that easily."
Ayasha turned around and called him, "They are not the target of the police. The police will not let go, so the delay will not last long. Worry about yourself first."
Lei Yue looked at Mohawk, who nodded silently and said nothing more.
"Then be careful and don't delay!"
Lei Yue tensed up and was about to use his skateboard to follow Lingsha and leave this place that was almost his new home.
"Wait, I almost forgot, wait!"
But Sister Hua stopped him and said anxiously: "It's really a mess. I originally wanted to discuss this with you slowly, but now I don't have time."
She took out another messy document that was not well organized from the bar drawer and hurriedly handed it to Lei Yue:
"Who knows how long you will have to hide, will you be catching up on the 'Dongzhou Night' when you come back? We have to determine the direction of your alien resonance now.
"Look at this page first. This is a word that should be in your vocabulary!"
Lei Yue took the document. The glare above the bar illuminated the page in his hand, and he stared at it slightly.
