When the hands of the clock reached twelve o'clock, the door of the bar was slowly pushed open, and a tall man in a dark gray suit with a light gray striped tie walked into the bar, followed by a man holding a civilized stick and bowing slightly.
The middle-aged and elderly people are also wearing suits, but the difference is the conspicuous white color in the dark night.
"Toby, the bar is still there!" The man walked in front and said without looking back.
"Sir, this is the characteristic of the bar. Otherwise, you wouldn't invest in it." A middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties, holding a civilized stick, said in a calm tone behind the man.
The man was silent for a moment and walked towards the bar counter of the bar. After seeing the two masters and servants, a waiter at the bar quickly walked up to them and bowed, stood up straight and said.
"Good evening Mr. Steven! Good evening Mr. Toby!"
"Hello!" the man said, maintaining the same smile he had after entering the bar.
"Is everyone here? We're not late, right?" Toby asked after looking at the waiter and nodding.
"You're not late, the time is just right." The waiter greeted them with a smile and led the two of them toward the small door where the freckled man walked in.
The two men and one woman on the small wooden round table finally recovered from their fossilized state. After Steven took Toby into the bar, the three people's states immediately changed. The most obvious thing was that they no longer drank, and their eyes followed
The master and servant moved.
Most people would notice it under such a "warm" gaze, let alone Steven and the other two. However, Steven just glanced at it and said nothing, while Toby lifted the civilized stick and gently
He poked the ground gently, still speechless.
The waiter saw everything with his eyes, without any facial movement, just as he was accustomed to, he led the way to the small door with a smile on his face.
To the people in the bar, all these changes are like a pause, and then they do what they should do. However, people with sensitive nerves may notice the difference.
, the atmosphere is different, the air seems a little depressing, but most people don't feel the change.
After Steven left, the two men and one woman surrounding the small wooden table stood up and also walked towards the small door. After seeing this, the waiter immediately left his position at the small door and walked back to his
The bar counter looked as if nothing had happened.
"Lockwood, a bottle of Oroso, I'm treating you today." After hearing the shout, the waiter shook his head and then bent down to take out a bottle of wine with a square base from the storage cabinet in the bar and walked out.
Bar counter.
"Heathcliff, drink less! I don't want to carry you out of the bar!" Lockwood walked up to a man with an unshaven chin with a drink in his hand and said.
"Yes! Heathcliff, you have been sent home by Lockwood twice, and he didn't ask for tips from you." A sturdy "Mediterranean" man at the same table laughed.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
People in the bar who were familiar with Heathcliff laughed loudly. It could be seen that they were very familiar with each other, and they had obviously laughed at each other more than once.
Lockwood looked at the scene in front of him, put down his drink and silently returned to the bar, wiping the wine glasses on the bar.
…………
Compared with the bustling bar lobby, the small door on the side of the bar is much quieter.
Pushing open the small door, the lights in the long and narrow corridor should be dim and unclear, but it is extremely bright. Various wall lamps and ceiling lights are all over the corridor. It would be strange if they are not bright. The deeper the whole corridor goes, the more noise from the outside world. The smaller it is, if you look forward 20 meters and then turn, you can see that the three people who entered the small door have just reached the corner.
After turning the corner, the corridor does not end. Going straight forward for more than a hundred meters, you can see a door covered by a curtain. What you can also see is the back of Steven's master and servant after opening the curtain and walking behind the curtain. .
The tranquility in the corridor is like a place completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world. There are two worlds inside and outside the small door.
There was a muscular man in the trio. His dark eyes were hidden under his eyebrows as he looked at everything in the corridor. Compared to the other two, this slightly muscular man was a little nervous. It was obviously his first time here. , but he did not ask too many questions, but quietly followed the other two people towards the end of the corridor.
In the quiet corridor, the footsteps of several people echoed. The curtain at the end was lifted, and the trio slowly entered the room behind the curtain.
The 20-square-meter room is decorated in a classic and elegant style. The chandeliers and wall lights on the roof make the entire room moderately bright, not dazzling and still clearly visible.
Brown sofas are distributed around the room, and a white Dogo is lying on the beige patterned carpet, yawning lazily, squinting his eyes with a faint light, and his big head is always staring in the direction of the door. Iron There were several pieces of cooked meat and torn meat residue in the basin, but Du Gao didn't even look at it, he just lay on his stomach and looked at the curtain at the door.
The curtain was opened twice, and Du Gao's big head moved twice. When the trio walked into the house for the second time, Du Gao's lying face immediately turned into an upright body more than half a meter tall. He raised his big head and squinted at the three people who walked into the room, and walked toward the three people with vigorous steps.
"Peter, sit back." A thick voice echoed in the room.
A young man with a height of 2.12 meters was sitting on the sofa on the right. His gray suit was bulging. He was playing with a fruit knife and an unpeeled apple in his hands. He opened the curtain and walked in. of threesome.
"Joseph, Peter is getting stronger and stronger, and he looks even better than when he was a child." The enchanting woman in the red fringed dress said with a smile.
"Alyssa, you've been sitting at the bar for a long time, and you came here just because of Pete." The young man looked at the woman and said, not meaning to talk nonsense.
"You're still the same. We're going to go in for the meeting, okay!" Alyssa said. She was really speechless about the man in front of her. Joseph was a very weird person who was more interested in dogs than anything else.
"You are not qualified enough. You should know this. You don't need me to remind you!" Joseph continued to peel the unpeeled apple in his hand while looking at the woman and said.
"Mr. Steven, can we come together? I didn't get the invitation!" Alyssa ignored Joseph, the idiot, and looked at Steven, who was sitting on the sofa in the center of the room and came in first.
"Beautiful ladies, of course, but I only bring beautiful women, after all, my orientation is normal." Steven said with a faint smile at the charming Alyssa.
"Mr. Steven, they are protecting me, you won't let me go back alone!" Alyssa twisted her slender waist and sat on the sofa on the left and said.
"I love protecting weak ladies the most. They can get off work, what do you think? Madam!" Steven picked up the teacup on the table and said after taking a sip of tea.
"You go to the bar and wait for me, the drink money is mine." Seeing that she couldn't convince Steven, Alyssa had to settle for the next best thing.
"We will wait at the bar!" said one of the burly men who followed Alyssa.
The man in a suit turned around and winked at the other man, opened the curtain and walked outside. The other man hesitated for a moment and followed closely.
The order they received was to obey Alyssa's orders and protect her safety. Now Alyssa himself doesn't care about their protection, so there is no need for him to insist on it.
"Okay, Ms. Alyssa, it's time for us to leave. Time waits for no one." The civilized stick that Toby was holding touched the ground again, and the sound it made reminded the woman in front of him not to waste time.
"Okay, Toby." Alyssa turned to look at the anxious-looking man behind her. He was clearly less than sixty years old, but he had a face that was almost eighty years old. This might be the legendary future man.
Let’s get older!
"Joseph, please open the door. I will bring Peter a companion next time I come." Steven turned his attention to Joseph who was still watching the dog and said.
"Okay, sir." Joseph stood up and turned around the sofa, came to a wall lamp behind the sofa where he was sitting, and twisted the bracket of the wall lamp.
The sound of "Crack!" came from behind Steven. Behind the central sofa was the fireplace in the house. After the lower half of the fireplace moved a little distance away from the wall, it moved to the left again, revealing a door behind it.
Door.
The double doors made of steel are locked from the inside. Two huge suns are engraved on the door. There is a small circular hole at the core of the sun. From the inside, you can observe the situation outside. It can be said that this door gives the parliament floor
With the second safety lock, after all, you can escape with the buffer time.
After the mechanism was activated, the observation port on the steel door was opened. A black eye looked out after observing, and a low and old voice came out: "Joseph?"
"Mark, the door is open. Mr. Steven is here, along with her new female companion." Joseph said half-jokingly as he walked to the side, leaving Alyssa clearly exposed in front of the door.
But it wasn't funny at all. He was cold and no one paid any attention to him.
After a moment of silence behind the door, a voice came from "Okay." With a creaking sound, the iron door was opened from the inside out. A man in a black cloak stood by the door and looked at the people outside, slowly opening the door.
All open.
Master Steven took the lead to walk towards the iron gate. Looking at the man in black robe in front of him, Toby stepped forward and asked excitedly: "Mark, how is your health? Are you okay?"
"Toby, thank you for your concern. The medicine is working." The man in black robe still had a low voice, but it was not difficult to hear that there were more emotional fluctuations than before.
"Mr. Steven, good evening!" After ending the conversation with Toby, the man in black robe greeted the man standing behind Toby.
"Mark, we haven't seen each other for a long time. It seems that your condition is much better than last time."
"Am I afraid that I won't be able to drink your cocktail this time? Seeing you now, I feel more relieved." Steven walked up to the man in black robe and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern! Sir, no matter when you come, there will be a cocktail waiting for you." The voice under the black robe felt much more solemn, even though it was still low.
