If you look carefully, you can still find a crushed wooden bar in the ruins, and wine glasses and bottles still scattered on the floor. If you get closer, you can even smell the residual aroma of red wine.
Needless to say, it is absolutely certain that this place used to be a bar, but something happened and it turned into a piece of pulverized dust. It is difficult to even find a relatively complete piece of masonry.
This level of damage is simply—
“Did it get bombed??”
Within the scope of Zhang Ke's knowledge, only fighter jets dropping bombs from high altitudes could blow up this good bar like this.
If it is just a matter of closing the house and transferring it, or renovating it, there is no need to destroy the original complete structure of the house to such an extent that even a god can't put it back together, right?
"By the way, the sign——"
Zhang Ke suddenly realized that although it was certain that this place used to be a bar, it was actually impossible to say that its name was "Shanghai Flower".
If you want to be sure about this, you just need to do it yourself.
Zhang Ke walked into the ruins, rolled up his hands and sleeves, and moved away the outermost layer of broken cement and broken bricks covering the top.
Generally speaking, the signboard of a store must be written on the window closest to the outside or on top of the door, right? So you only need to carefully clean up the area, and it should be easy to find clues.
Sure enough, hard work paid off, and soon Zhang Ke came across a broken plastic billboard. When he turned it over, he saw a big word "海" written on it.
The word "海" is written in a flying and lively way, as if it is about to fly, and Zhang Ke's current mood is similar to this word.
Very good, I finally found a relatively reliable place. Even though it has been demolished, I am sure that this is the place I have been to before.
Not long after, Zhang Ke searched out the signboards with the characters "上" and "花" one after another. The situation seemed to be clear.
"Sir, what are you looking for?" At this time, Zhang Ke heard a questioning voice coming from behind.
Looking back, it turned out to be the waiter from the bar next to him. He probably saw me running into the ruins in broad daylight, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, so he couldn't help but be curious and asked.
"Was this place a bar before?" Zhang Ke asked quickly, "How did it become like this?"
"Well, yes, this place used to be a bar. Our whole street was full of bars." The waiter replied, "But this store suddenly emptied out three days ago. I don't know what the original owner thought.
Yes, before leaving, I specially asked someone to break all the foundations and pillars of the house, causing it to fall to pieces."
"You said that the owner of this bar hired people to demolish it himself?" Zhang Ke frowned and asked, "Do you know the reason why they left?"
"I don't know. The business of this store has always been very good, and the boss is also kind. I wonder if he offended someone he can't afford to offend?" The waiter looked at Zhang Ke nervously and asked, "You again?"
Who is he? Is he an enemy of the boss here?"
"Me? No, I haven't been here before, but I heard from a friend that the Shanghai Flower Bar here is very famous, so I came to visit because of its fame... It seems that the time of my arrival was unlucky."
"What did you say? Shanghai Flower Bar?" When the waiter heard Zhang Ke's words, he showed a confused expression, "What Shanghai Flower?"
"This is it...the name of this bar, wait? Isn't this the Shanghai Flower Bar?" Zhang Ke suddenly realized something.
"Yes, the name here is Yunshang Huahai Bar." The waiter glanced at the messy and broken signs on the ground, picked out a piece from it, handed it to Zhang Ke and said, "Look."
Sure enough, what was written on the signboard was a big traditional Chinese character "云".
"..." Zhang Ke froze on the spot, unable to speak for a moment.
"What a lunatic..." The waiter muttered softly and ran away, leaving Zhang Ke where he was.
It's true. Going to a ruins in broad daylight to rummage through something, and finally discovering that you've got it in the wrong place, is indeed almost like a lunatic in the eyes of ordinary people.
Only Zhang Ke knew in his heart that he was not crazy. Everything that happened in front of him was a fact. Just like the previous four times when he arrived at the destination but found nothing, he just found another similar place.
Suddenly, he felt an obvious splitting headache. The feeling of drowsiness that had been forcibly suppressed by willpower was now like a flood that had gone and returned, completely submerging Zhang Ke's consciousness.
He finally couldn't hold on to the spirit of fighting, and was completely paralyzed by this inexplicable dizziness.
When he woke up again, the sunlight above his head was already so bright that he couldn't open his eyes for a while.
It was just the hard touch beneath his body that made Zhang Kechuang panic. It was like being rubbed against rough gravel and tiles, and it felt like his clothes were about to be scratched.
——Wait, where am I lying?
Zhang Ke sat up suddenly and found that he was still lying in the ruins of the bar. The sun above his head indicated that the time was close to noon.
But for such a long time, no one came to check on his condition? What about the waiter who was watching the excitement just now? Why didn't he even call 120 when he saw himself passed out in the ruins?
Regarding this question, Zhang Ke soon had the answer.
"You're awake." A monotonous and cold woman's voice sounded in his ears, startling Zhang Ke.
But when he turned his head and saw the other person's appearance, his fright increased countless times.
"You...you are Sister Lan?!"
It turned out that Sister Lan appeared beside Zhang Ke at some unknown time. She neither called the police nor tried to treat him or take him away. Instead, she left him where he was and squatted next to him for who knows how long.
Zhang Ke felt a chill when he thought about the fact that the other party inexplicably locked him in a secret room in his last reincarnation.
"Just wake up." Sister Lan had no intention of staying any longer. She just stood up suddenly and said, "When you finish what you are doing, come to Jixiang Community to find me."
She didn't explain much, and just disappeared around the corner of the bar street like a puff of smoke.
"Strange...who is this person from?"
Zhang Ke touched his painful forehead. He knew that his journey to find sea flowers was a complete failure.
But it's still early, so why not go to the place where you work - Datong Trading Company to take a look.
