Welcome to the alien city

"Let's let one let, let one let!"

A heavy sound of wheels came from behind. Gu Li turned slightly sideways and took Lucy to the side. It was a young man pushing a wooden cart.

There were two huge wooden barrels stacked on the cart, and the wheels of the cart made an overwhelming sound as it passed by the two of them.

It crunched away again.

The moment the carriage passed by, Gu Li moved her nose, her eyes instantly darkened, and she met Lucy's gaze as if confirming.

Lucy, who was a scout fifty years ago, gave her a confirming look, moved her fingers slightly, and an imperceptible thread stuck to the hem of the man's clothes.

"let's go."

The cart had been cleaned, but the blood that seeped into the gaps still couldn't be removed. The smell of blood in the two sealed wooden barrels was even more nauseating.

They pretended to be shopping, walking and stopping, and finally stopped in front of a dark red door. The words on the plaque were somewhat faded.

You can vaguely make out the words Wild Rose Bar.

Gu Li calmly touched the hilt of the sword under her skirt. The man disappeared with the cart, and this happened to be the location given by Barry.

This is indeed the Red Bee's stronghold, but I don't know what the contents of the barrel are used for.

"I always feel that showing up in this bar gives people a bad association."

Gu Li murmured.

They walked in one after another and attracted several eyes almost instantly. Gu Li looked around curiously with a smile on his face.

Then he took Lucy's arm behind him and walked towards the bar.

In fact, the palm of her hand exerted a slight force to firmly hold Lucy in place as she was about to go to the bar to say the code word.

Her lips moved: "Don't act rashly yet, let's see the situation."

Gu Li raised his eyes and met the bartender behind the bar. He let go of Lucy's arm quite naturally and sat down.

A noble and innocent smile appeared on her face, and the bartender said cheerfully: "Please give me a drink of your signature drink."

The bartender was a very handsome young man. His eyes first moved around Lucy, focusing on her slender but powerful muscle lines.

Then it fell on Gu Li, who had a slender figure and delicate face. The thoughts deep in his eyes receded, and a beautiful smile appeared on his face.

He approached Gu Li with some regret, and said with a bit of bewilderment in his voice: "Miss, we don't have that kind of thing in a small bar like ours. If you are of age, I will be happy to buy you a glass of dark beer."

Gu Li had a pair of sky-blue eyes open, naturally carrying an innocence that didn't understand the world, let alone when she deliberately showed her innocent side.

"Of course I'm an adult!"

The bartender poured her a glass of wine at the right time, then placed the bottle in front of Lucy for her to check: "I don't think this lady needs it?"

Lucy stood behind Gu Li, dutifully acting as a taciturn guard. She shook her head and said in a calm voice, "Thank you, I don't need it."

Gu Li took a sip of the somewhat turbid wine in the glass, then stuck out his tongue and said in a clear voice, "It doesn't taste good."

The bartender looked at her with a look that said I knew it.

His eyes glanced at Gu Li's side and back, and then he approached Gu Li in an ambiguous posture. His black eyes were calm and compassionate, contrary to his expression.

"This kind of chaotic place is not suitable for a lady like you. Please leave quickly and follow your guards."

Gu Li opened her eyes slightly, and just as she opened her mouth, the expression of the bartender in front of her changed, and then a shadow fell from behind her.

A thick voice with a strong smell of alcohol came: "Al, what are you talking about to this lady?"

The bartender named Al shuddered reflexively and almost couldn't keep the cynical smile on his face.

Suddenly, a hand gently rested on the back of his hand. Al was stunned and met Gu Li's eyes again.

Those rare light blue eyes held a soothing calmness, and his noisy heart gradually calmed down.

Ignoring the contrast shown by Gu Li, he straightened up and looked behind her: "I just think this lady is cute, so I just want to say a few more words. Will, are you okay?"

Will sat down next to Gu Li. His figure was almost as wide as two of hers, which brought a great sense of oppression to everyone present. The most obvious thing was the sound of doors opening one after another from behind.

Gu Li pretended to be uncomfortable and moved a little farther away from the big man. Will's figure was extremely strong, but his face was extremely smooth.

There's something strangely awkward about it.

Gu Li felt that it seemed a bit familiar.

Will clicked on the most conspicuous huge wine barrel behind the bar: "Maybe we should let the lady have a taste of our specialties."

He lowered his head to meet Gu Li's gaze, and the muscles on his face twitched: "We call it the Sacrifice of the Virgin."

At his signal, Al stiffly poured two glasses from the barrel and placed them in front of Gu Li and Lucy: "Please use."

At some point, everyone in the bar stopped drinking and quietly looked over. Gu Li was sitting on a high stool, shaking his calf as if unaware.

Her pale fingers held the cup, and the scarlet liquid in the cup reflected on her hand, which actually looked a bit ferocious.

Today is Al's first month of working at the Red Rose. After he was overjoyed to get the job, he gradually discovered that there was something wrong with this bar from beginning to end.

The most unusual of all is the wine called Our Lady of Sacrifice.

Will bought this wine from outside and kept the recipe secret. More importantly, everyone who tasted it was obsessed with it.

Call it a unique wine.

But I don't know if it was Al's illusion, but he could occasionally smell a strong fishy smell in the scarlet liquid.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that the young lady actually picked up the wine glass unsuspectingly and leaned forward anxiously.

"Wait a minute, miss!"

Al shouted subconsciously, attracting Will's warning gaze and the lady's blank eyes.

His back was covered with cold sweat at some point, and the eyes of everyone behind Gu Li were all focused on him.

There was still scarlet liquid stuck to the corners of those people's lips and teeth. With their straight expressions, they looked like a group of monsters who had been interrupted to drink Maoru's blood!

He suddenly shuddered and finished the rest of his words firmly.

"Miss, didn't you say you have something urgent to do later? It's getting late, so don't delay."

Will's eyes looked at him more and more seriously, and the silent customers began to get up one after another and walk towards this side.

In the center of everyone's sight, Gu Li held the wine glass and smiled reassuringly at the bartender, and drank all the liquid in the glass.

"There are some things for you to worry about."

Aier didn't expect that she drank anyway, and looked at Gu Li's face with an almost horrified expression.

There were two blushes on the pale face, and the expression in the drooping eyes was unclear, but it was much calmer than the expression of the first-time drinker he had seen before.

Lucy frowned when Gu Li drank the drink in one gulp. The hand hanging by her side was suddenly held by Gu Li, and the cold touch made her straighten up suddenly.

"Miss?"

Gu Li raised his eyelids where no one could see him, looked at Lucy, and shook his head slightly at her.

Lucy saw those dark eyes and almost lost her expression.

They were surrounded by a huge crowd in front of the bar. Al's eyes were dazed for a moment. There were so many people in the bar just now.

Lucy looked at Will: "What do you mean?"

Will smiled when he heard this, showing his teeth stained with scarlet liquid like theirs, and grabbed Gu Li with his big hand.

"Nothing? If you are too drunk, Miss, you can rest in the shop for a night."

Lucy moved her fingers.

Gu Li wrote a line of words on her palm: Promise him.
