A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

The windows here are also very strange, no light can come in, there is no difference if there is one or not... A group of people didn't notice anything wrong when they came in just now.

Jacob put his arms around his adopted son, adjusted his glasses, and walked up to ask the more important question: "Sir, who are you?"

"Your daughter offered me $[-] to hire me, and I will be responsible for your safety until dawn. But... the better option is to return to a place of absolute safety now, and sit comfortably until the sun rises."

D explained again, and then motioned everyone to leave quickly, and you can ask Kate herself for other matters... The dark atmosphere underground is getting stronger and stronger, and there must be a large number of vampires waiting to climb up to have a big meal. People of this strange race might be among them.

The remaining living people in the bar have already opened the door in a hurry, and each fled for their lives. Everyone knows that this place cannot stay for a long time.

Kate, who had just seen D show his might, had begun to trust him blindly. Seeing that he had made a decision, she immediately obeyed: "Please be careful."

After saying this, she turned her head and pulled her father up again: "Dad, come with me, Scott, you follow too... Let's go back to the RV."

Chapter 9 From the Depths of Lost Time

The two brothers Seth and Rich were very embarrassed.

In fact, these two people are not friends with the pastor Jacob’s family, but hostile relations...the two robbed the family’s car, took the pastor’s child as a hostage, and forced the family to come to Mexico. broke into the magic cave.Speaking of which, it wouldn't be too much for the Jacobs' family to shoot them directly, right?

The perpetrators now depend on the kindness of their victims to survive, and they don't know what to do when they only know how to shoot.

But Kate still dragged them to open the door and came to another bar.

"Uh... Kate?"

Seth Gekko felt a burst of uneasiness very rarely. You must know that this man played hide-and-seek with the police in the entire state and escaped calmly under the pursuit of the FBI. easy.

"Don't worry... we've been together since those guys in the bar suddenly turned into man-eating monsters."

Kate replied.

Thinking about it now, this man named Seth really kept his promise, "If you don't mess with me, I won't fuck you either"...Although he has been threatening several people, he always has a grumpy look to say nothing It's marginal, but it really hasn't hurt a few people in any way.

The perverted younger brother Rich was also under his control. Perhaps it was because the scene of a beauty turning into a beast that he saw in the "Milk Whirlwind" bar was too horrifying. Naturally, he didn't have the interest to satisfy his disgusting hobbies at this time.

This level of peace and harmony is enough... They can't be trusted completely, but there is no need to throw them in that world and hand them over to vampires.

And... Didn't Boss Xue say that hurting each other is not allowed here?Then my family can finally relax, right?

At the bar, he saw a group of people covered in blood coming in. Boss Xue didn't know what happened... But since the guests of this tavern think it's okay, he will not interfere with this decision.

"Welcome to... rough night, huh? What's for a drink?" he greeted.

"It's not just hard...whatever, we may have to stay here until dawn."

"Then have a keg of draft beer."

By this time, even Jacob, who was very opposed to underage drinking, said nothing.The world is changing too fast, and he himself wants to have some strength now...

Kate took her family and the two thug brothers to an inconspicuous booth upstairs, put a glass of beer in front of one of them and said with a wry smile: "So... I have a lot of things to explain now, yes wrong?"

Compared with Kate, who was destined to waste a lot of saliva, D, who was still in the "milk whirlwind", was silent, sitting on a chair, waiting for the coming enemy.

Since Santa Nicole didn't want to answer his own question, he should find out the answer himself.

This beautiful woman on the surface, but actually a blood-sucking monster inside... The creature has already started to tremble all over.The handsome man in front of him exuded a more and more cold and bloodthirsty atmosphere, and he didn't know what happened.

The only one who understands what is going on is probably the voice that has been following D, and it is sounding from the palm of his left hand at this time: "Oh no, master, you will not start thirsting for blood at this time, right?"

——This is really impossible.As a mixed race with half of his blood being "nobility", he didn't lose his mind and kill everyone present just now, which is already considered a strong willpower.

Because of the hunting just now, the floor of the bar was covered with human blood, and fragments of customers were scattered all around, which made the instinct in his blood swell and began to attack the defense of reason.

Santa Nicole, who was pressing her legs and trying to stay away from the man, was shocked to find that the pupils of the man's eyes were gradually stained with blood red, and the canine teeth in his mouth were also elongated little by little.

But as he gritted his teeth, these obviously non-human features quickly faded away.

Santa Nicole thought for a while, then suddenly widened her eyes, and said to the man, "You...you are also a vampire!"

D looked up at her and replied, "Half-race."

This is even more strange... As far as she knows, there is no such thing as mixed blood in this world.Vampires have only two choices in the face of human beings, one is to use him as food, and the other is to transform him into a companion.It is impossible for a dark cursed creature to fuse with human genes to give birth to a hybrid. The life levels of the two parties are already fundamentally different... resulting in a certain degree of reproductive isolation.

Moreover, how could vampires love humans so much and would be willing to raise the next generation together without transforming their partners?

It's just that D obviously didn't have any interest in explaining all this, and he kept her life only to let her act as a bait, or to allow him to observe the specimen of this biological ecology at close range.

He already had a clear feeling when he swung the knife, they are far worse than "nobility"...

Each aristocrat has a body as hard as steel, as fast as a jet fighter, and as strong as a locomotive, not to mention they also possess a variety of supernatural powers.

These guys in "Milk Whirlwind" can only be regarded as living corpses at best, their bodies are full of half-rotten soft rotten meat, even if it is just a strong adult man, it can be pierced directly with a little force.When the victims were still in the tavern just now, he saw a black man with a thick back nailing the vampire dancer who jumped on him to the leg of the table.

But vampires are like this... Similar to many other types of "commodities", a fragile body often means low manufacturing costs, which further means a huge quantity.

Outside the re-closed door, the whistling sound like the sound of the wind was already whizzing by. In the blood-stained bar, the incandescent lights above were shaking, and the light sprinkled on the man's broad shoulders.

The voice from the left hand was still chattering: "D, didn't you notice? This tavern is actually not a 'modern' building in the human mouth, and the reliefs hidden behind the colorful decorations are more important. Snake body and human face, ribs exposed, really Strange... It seems that when I still have my own body, I have seen such a picture in a foreign country. But it has been too long, and my memory of this old thing is really not reliable..."

Santa Nicole looked at the man, and this time she also heard that voice... She looked at D's left hand, which was naturally hanging down, and found that there seemed to be a tumor growing on the palm of the hand, and a large lump bulged out. As the sound continued, it was still squirming and swelling, which seemed very abnormal.

If she could turn to the front at this time, she would find that it was not a tumor... but an old man's face.There are no eyebrows, and the positions of the eyes and mouth are black holes, as if the dead souls have directly possessed D's flesh and blood.

D didn't answer.

He was not born in the past era, and he didn't understand what a "foreign country" was like... In the era of his birth, half of the entire land was covered with thorns and thorns, and the other half was covered with crosses and garlic.

The history of mankind has long been lost, and nobles don't need history at all... If you want to know something, just visit those nobles who have survived a long time. Storytelling is the only thing left by their decayed souls. One of the many pleasures.

Of course, there are not many old guys who have really lived for tens of thousands of years, because they rarely come out for activities, and even the legends about them are gradually being forgotten.

D just heard an old guy talk about the era of "extraterrestrial invaders" before his death, the 3000-year surface war.

The nobles had ruled the earth for a long time at that time, leading the technology and aesthetics of the whole world to a wonderful direction.They feel that the world will continue to exist forever like this, and human beings will eventually be raised in captivity like domestic animals, and blood will be provided to them from generation to generation until the end of the universe...

But then, burning flames fell from the sky, and the earth fell into a sea of ​​flames.

The nobles have a natural disadvantage because they cannot act during the daytime. According to the old guy, "Steel nets are stretched across the entire land, with spiked iron tower tops, spotlights scanning every inch of the land, and war machines. Constantly coming out of factories and falling from orbit.”

After 3000 years, the extraterrestrial invaders suddenly disappeared.

Even the old guy who participated in the war at that time couldn't tell why. There were all kinds of rumors at that time. The research results of nobles who captured living bodies triggered the blood curse, and it is said that some extraterrestrial invaders were also transformed and started internal strife.

In short, although the war is over, the destruction that lasted for 3000 years has almost destroyed all the heritage of the old era.

Not only has the technology of the nobles regressed, but even human culture has almost degenerated into a primitive society where knowledge is passed on by word of mouth.

Few people will remember what the world was like before the war. Even the "dollar" has become a pure precious metal currency. Humans still use this unit to calculate prices entirely out of habit.

Because of this, D couldn't understand the monster parasitic in his body saying "foreign country", "snake body and human face", etc., and there was no need to understand it at all.

He has his own way of getting answers to the questions he wants to ask.

"...Will the person who gave you the power come?" He turned to Santa Nicole.

Santa Nicole, who was also listening to the sound passing by outside the window and was grateful for her survival, was suddenly stunned. She really hadn't thought about this problem... What if the "King" doesn't come for her? what to do?

Ordinary vampires are no match for the man in front of him. Since it only takes a few seconds to kill all the monsters in the bar, it probably won't take too long to kill the entire group...

Think again, even if the "King" really came, could he really defeat this mysterious man?

She couldn't answer this question, and just as she was stunned, a deep roar sounded from the ventilation hole specially left on the roof.

D narrowed his eyes, the enemies had already arrived.

Chapter 10 Frightened

"I don't feel right, Seth."

After downing a glass of draft beer, Rich sneaked up to his brother again and said in a low voice.

"What's wrong? It's a nice bar, especially the draft beer."

Seth raised the wine glass in his hand as if he didn't understand what he said, and took a big gulp.Yes, of course he knew that this bar was not an ordinary place...Kate hired swordsmen from other worlds!But since he can stay away from those vampires and sit quietly waiting for dawn, isn't that enough?

But Rich obviously didn't think so. He continued to stare at the scene at the bar downstairs and said, "I just looked at the Chinese boss. He kept his hand under the counter. He should have a gun. If he knows The box in our hand is money for Carlos, so he will find a chance to kill us and swallow the money."

"Shut up, Richie."

Seth was too embarrassed to say it, and you don’t want to see if we are still in Mexico... Why does the owner of a bar in this kind of place need so much money?Moreover, the boss's attitude is obviously that he only values ​​Kate, and he is kind to Kate's family, but he can only be said to be polite to the two brothers.

Kate said she hired the guy in the black suit and the wide-brimmed hat... so where did she hire him?The whole family was within sight of the two of them along the way, and she went into the bathroom only once before reaching the "milk whirlwind", just like when she brought everyone in just now... So does the answer to this question need to be said?

Is there a bar where characters are hired here, and if they really want to kill the two brothers, they need to come out with a gun under the table?

A person who should neither be provoked nor can't be provoked, even if there are some strange things about him, it is best for the brothers not to express any opinion on it.

But Rich still rubbed his head, and continued to say: "...and did you see, there is still a human heart in the wine cabinet behind him. That thing is still dancing!"

Finally, Seth couldn't take it anymore, and turned his head to teach his younger brother seriously: "Listen to what you said, you want to tell me that a heart dug out of a human body can continue to beat, right? Are you hallucinating again? Have you taken your medicine today?"

The answer is obvious. After several days of nervous escape, Rich even lost the medicine bottle. Where can he get the medicine?

Seth didn't quite know what the medicine he was going to take was called, it seemed to be some kind of oxazine hydrochloride tablets or something.Ricky's mania is usually very serious, and even developed to the point where he will have hallucinations.If he doesn't take medicine for a few days, then he doesn't know which sentence is true and which sentence is false, but he is still serious. After being questioned, he will only become more and more irritable, and he will be particularly wronged... ...that's what he "saw with his own eyes"!

Just like now, this man was immediately angered by his brother's words.

"What do you mean by taking medicine? You mean I'm crazy now, and I can't even remember what I saw?"

Seth could only reply, "When the fuck did I say that? Now you're hearing voices that don't exist again? I'm just asking, did you take your meds today?"

"Yes, but that medicine is a medicine to reduce hallucinations. What the hell I saw this time was not hallucinations, but if you ask me if I have taken the medicine, you assume that what I see is hallucinations, which means that I am crazy now."

"...Do you want to get punched again?"

"...So you punched me in the car before, no wonder I felt a headache after waking up!"

Hearing this, Seth couldn't hold back the desire to beat his younger brother, but for some reason, he just couldn't throw this punch.

...in a place where harm to each other is conceptually forbidden, he is clearly incapable of any aggressive behavior.

On the contrary, the younger brother Rich's mouth output has no restrictions, which is so annoying that he almost bursts his blood vessels.

The adopted boy, Scott, saw this and mustered up the courage to ask, "Uh...Rich? Are your hands okay?"

"What? Oh, yes, I was injured just now."

Only then did Rich remember his hand, and raised it to his face for a look.After the second injury, the tape no longer worked. His blood was still pouring out when he was in the bar. If he stayed any longer, he might lose too much blood... Fortunately, Kate took the medicine box with him just now. Came in, and somehow the bleeding seemed to have stopped.

Now that the boy reminded him, he suddenly realized that there was still a faint pain in the wound.

He also didn't care about strengthening the brotherhood with his elder brother, so he quickly took the medicine box and began to treat the wound by himself.

Having grown up on the streets, the brothers had to deal with their own wounds.Even though he was choked by his younger brother just now, Seth took the initiative to help, muttering and cutting off Rich's cuff.

It wasn't even the worst injury either of them had.

From a few years old, they are like two young animals wandering in the urban jungle, digging their own caves together, facing enemies together, and licking each other's wounds.

The two fell silent for a moment, and Kate then gave a general account of the place and the strange man she had hired for $5.

Jacob didn't object, because strictly speaking, the $5 did save a few lives... As a devout servant of God, he couldn't afford the money now.But as long as you survive, you can find a way to pay back the money!

At this time, as a father, he was more concerned about whether his daughter would encounter any danger, who was the man with the cloak and long hair, and whether there would be any bad intentions.

...that guy didn't show any particular emotion, just had a shockingly handsome face, just like Absalom in the Bible story; and as we all know, Absalom didn't leave a good name in the Bible .

Even Kate didn't know very well about D's matter, so she could only guess based on the few exchanges.

"He doesn't seem to value money very much...Although he proposed the figure of 5 US dollars, it is not at all like the kind of extremely greedy businessman, but more like saying, 'My work must have a value, and it must be reasonable. 'Give and exchange'."

Kate recalled the scene in this tavern before, and slowly said: "Even if he has accepted the commission, he doesn't seem to care how the reward is delivered at all, he just told me to follow his orders and not reveal his existence. ...I think he probably saw my guilty conscience at that time, and knew that I couldn't afford the money.

[91. No. 91]

"But his work is very professional, and it has even far exceeded the value that this employment agreement can provide... Now think about it, the person who can destroy the monsters in an entire bar in an instant wants to earn 5 Isn't the dollar easy."

Jacob nodded: "Then it's definitely not because of money. An honest and trustworthy man will of course first respect his professional identity and strictly implement the employment agreement..."

Seth, who was bandaging his younger brother's wound across the table, suddenly interjected: "Then what does $5 mean? If you want to do good and help others, why don't you just don't want a penny?"

"It's not like that." Jacob took a rare sip of draft beer, then frowned at the wonderful taste, put down the glass and continued: "...First of all, if one's principles are abandoned, If you do it once, you will be abandoned countless times in the following days. Smart people will set rules for all their behaviors early. Without rules, there is no freedom at all;

"Also, another important point of charging cheap money is to say, 'this is a business, and both parties have got what they want', and he won't ask for anything extra, and we don't have to pay anything extra at all. "

Of course, this analysis assumes that the mercenary is an upright person.

Speaking of which, in fact, he has roughly believed in the strange guy hired by his daughter... It would not take him a second to kill everyone present, there is no need to make any employment agreement as a cover-up.

Moreover, according to the so-called "rules" of this tavern introduced by her daughter, without her leading the way, the man could not come back here, nor could he return to his own "world".

Being able to make a decision to let a few people leave first and go back at dawn, doesn't it mean that the other party already trusts Kate?He even dared to take the risk of being trapped in another world, but also to ensure the safety of several people, entrusting his hope of returning to the person he had just met a few times.

For such a guy, Jacob is also happy to repay the same trust.

Then there is another question.
