The Hunter Under the Tree of Origin Chapter 12: : Demon Bar
The main city.
Wang Ji rode a bicycle used for sightseeing in the streets and alleys. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he still held a police card and started visiting as a policeman. It's daytime now, and the business of bars and the like should be very deserted. Wang Ji doesn't plan to be able to make deals with the devil right away, but just to find out if there is a new bar or other business that has opened recently. At least, he has to investigate the matter clearly before talking.
Wearing a gray sportswear, Wang Ji covered his head with a sweater hat, and rode a bicycle slowly on the street, observing the surrounding squares, buildings, and various buildings along the way. And ask the lobby if there are any newly opened bars or pubs in the city.
His attire as a sporty youth couldn't be more ordinary.
Wang Ji spoke to his neighbors in a very peaceful tone, not trying to leave a good impression on the citizens, at least not leaving a bad impression. Maybe there will be times when he needs help in the future, after all, according to the No. A experimental machine, this is his city. Since it is his own city, he should make good use of every available resource.
Lunch is settled casually on the spot.
After a short break, Wang Ji pedaled his bicycle and continued to inspect his city leisurely. Unusual things would come to him after sunset, and there was not much time left for him to move. He understands the finer details of the city. Asking a taxi driver is a good choice. But if you're asking about a bar that might only be open today, drivers don't necessarily know.
There are no clues, but he is not discouraged.
"There is still one afternoon."
Wang Ji silently pedaled his bicycle. You can miss a lot of things when you drive around. Taking advantage of this walk, Wang Ji also wanted to have a closer look at the planning and layout of the entire city. He carefully went in and walked around any buildings such as supermarkets and markets.
With the current super strong memory, Wang Ji wants to memorize every terrain of the city. He didn't know what kind of confrontation he would face in ten days. It would not hurt to know more about the city. Today he had to find the devil's shop, otherwise he didn't know how to deal with the unknown creature that would appear at sunset with a mortal body.
14:20 pm.
He finally found a clue. Under a row of camphor trees along the sidewalk, a young girl gave directions to Wang Ji:
"Is it devil|? I know there's a new bar over there, and the sign says devilbur. Is that how it's spelled? I'm not good at English. I just think it should meet the evil standard you mentioned .When I passed by this morning, I saw workers doing renovations! It’s in the block next to Guanyinjing. You can go and have a look.”
"Thank you."
After expressing his gratitude, Wang Ji found the place to deliver the car on the side of the road. Take the bus to Guanyinjing Street.
After asking the neighbors who lived there, he quickly got the location. When he arrived, the high scaffold had just been dismantled by the workers, and the signboard seemed to have just been hung. Before Wang Ji lifted the curtain and went in, he put on a ninja mask.
The lights in the bar are very dim, and there are workers cleaning up the tables, they look busy, they have great strength and skillful movements. Behind the bar, a woman in a red slit dress sat in the dark, wiping a glass with a towel.
From a distance, her upper body was completely hidden in the darkness, and some outlines of Caucasian people could be vaguely seen, with long curly hair like seaweed, but they were just outlines, not very clear. She held a women's cigarette between her fingers holding the towel, exposed to the light. The cigarette burns out colorful smoke, which is conspicuous in the dim light.
After seeing Wang Ji coming in, the woman greeted her in standard Mandarin: "Young man, it's not so early now."
Wang Ji couldn't see if she was smiling, so he didn't answer. Instead, he went to the bar and sat down first. He looked at the woman behind the bar and said, "Isaac told me that people need help the most. At the time, I didn’t get the angel’s gift at the first time, but the devil who traded with him. Now, I want to know if I’m in the right place.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the bar immediately became much cooler.
Hearing a faint hiss from behind, Wang Ji turned around and took a look. The workers all stopped working at this moment, looking at him with blood-red eyes, the fangs protruding from their lips were dazzling white, and the devil's hiss spread all over the bar. The lights were dim, and many pairs of terrifying eyes stared at him, as if staring at prey.
Seeing this appalling scene, Wang Ji was relieved.
He is not afraid of the demons rushing to tear him apart. Compared to this, he cares more about the time and energy he spent looking for the demon store. Because even the demons, according to the clues provided by the experimental machine A, they belong to the hunter's allies and trading partners.
As long as they are not sowers, no matter how terrifying their trading partners are, Wang Ji has no reason to be afraid of them. The atmosphere in the bar dropped to freezing point. Under the gaze of the demon, Wang Ji sat calmly on the seat, facing the woman in red face to face, waiting for her answer.
She had to at least speak up to express her opinion, otherwise those piercing eyes behind Wang Ji's back would not let it go.
Finally, the woman wiped the glass clean, inspected it carefully and put it down. She took a puff of cigarette, and after gracefully flicking the ash on the ashtray, the cloud of smoke rose, and the woman said: "Few people are willing to make a deal with the devil. Not to mention a newcomer as efficient as you... first The letter A?"
The initial letter A, the woman asked in a questioning tone.
"Yes, I just want to find a way out as soon as possible by myself."
Wang Ji's response was rather modest, and he showed his identity. It seems that he doesn't need to use his real name here, but the code name given to him by No. A experimental machine. After Wang Ji revealed his identity, the devil workers in the bar finally withdrew their palpitating gazes and resumed their amazingly efficient work process.
The woman wiped the other wine glass and said, "Yeah, I know. A lot of new people came to me before, and they all wanted to find a way out. But they believed too much in their ninja mask friends, wishful thinking that all hunters He is as kind as those people in the world that he can't set foot in, so he chose other places as his way out."
Wang Ji lowered his eyes, he knew the other party was talking about his ninja mask.
The woman smiled and said: "Okay. Don't be embarrassed, the person who gave you the mask is indeed a kind person. If I guessed correctly, if he gave you something, he made a condition for you, right?"
"He asked me to pay attention to a film adaptation of a novel." Wang Ji replied.
"If you have a request, it's good. Because if you have a request, it's a transaction. If you don't have it, it's a gift and a plunder. Don't take off your mask. When I see your face, I will see your identity in the civilized world, for you and me It's not good to do that."
Seeing that Wang Ji was about to take off his mask, the woman stopped him.
Hearing these words, Wang Ji calmed down and prepared to negotiate a deal with the devil. The chandelier on the bar was not very bright, and there was even more confusing smoke rising. Wang Ji couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but for some reason, he could clearly see those charming eyes, which were deep and hard to extricate himself from. , as if there is a special magic in it.
In addition, it is the moment of smoking, the full red lips that sip the cigarette. Although he still couldn't see the woman's face clearly, for some reason, a desire from the bottom of his heart arose spontaneously. Following Wang Ji's gaze, he wandered around the woman's face. Mole, and then he looked away, looking a little unnatural.
If he guessed correctly, this should be the witch's charm.
"Hehe, kid."
The woman suddenly laughed, her voice was soft and full of strength, probably making fun of Wang Ji's embarrassment.
She poured half a glass of blood-red wine and placed it in front of Wang Ji, then took out a heart-shaped transparent container and placed it next to the glass filled with wine. It was crystal clear, like a handicraft. The woman pressed the container with her hand, looked at Wang Ji, and said with a smile, "I will need you to take care of my business in this city in the future. My child, you are much younger than me when you add a thousand years old. Call me aunt, you know?"
Wang Ji nodded in accordance with the woman's intention, his expression as usual. He dared not guess the woman's age. A woman is just an appearance, she is a devil in essence.
"Aunt Lily." The woman specifically reminded, leaning down on the bar, she looked into Wang Ji's eyes, and Wang Ji could only see the bright starlight reflected in those bright eyes. Other than that, nothing else. "My child, you want to call me Aunt Lily, do you understand?" A voice as gentle as the dark night echoed in Wang Ji's ears. Wang Ji nodded again as a tacit consent, he didn't want to entangle with the devil on a title issue.
"Then you are screaming!"
"Your teasing of me is in place, now we can talk about the deal."
Wang Ji replied with a flat and indifferent tone.
Lily should be a creature like a witch, calling him a child at a transcendent age. Wang Ji is not embarrassed by this, a title can't mean anything. The word child is essentially just Lily's mockery of his newcomer. He was here to make a deal, and he had a moderate tolerance for ridicule.
"Forget it, your blood is a bit cold."
Lily was not satisfied with Wang Ji's address, so she stopped embarrassing Wang Ji and introduced to him, pointing to the container: "The blood heart container can store 100 milliliters of blood. Before your blood has the power , I can only trade with you a maximum of 5 containers of blood in one transaction. Your current physical condition can only be traded once every six months. In addition, because I just got the news that I can open a store here, I left in a hurry, and the props I brought were only Two, you don't have many choices."
Shua!
A demonic worker at the entrance of the bar pulls the shutter from the inside, closing the bar. Lily took out two items from under the bar and placed them on the bar. She deliberately pulled the chandelier so that the strong light would focus on the two props on the bar. The prop on the left is a cross stained with black blood. It seems to be made of stone and somewhat damaged. On the right is a complete black costume.
Wang Ji's watch then lit up, and the words danced vaguely, refusing to display information for a long time. Wang Ji glanced back at Lily, and found that she was also looking at his watch with bright eyes in the dark. Wang Ji turned his back, and the information quickly flashed on the small screen of the watch:
Property Name: Corrupted Holy Chapter
Type of props: Paradise props touched by demons

"I want to ask a question."
Wang Ji made a request to Lily after carefully reading the description of the relevant props of the No. A experimental machine.
"Say."
"I want to know, how do you travel between this city and your world? Is there a time and frequency limit? Is there a cycle for updating props? What is the price of the five blood containers? Give the devil my blood I want to know what harm it will do to me."
Wang Ji's attitude is quite sincere. It also fully expresses the importance attached to transactions. He didn't want what he got was a high priced item. Relying on others has never been Wang Ji's first choice. Compared to this, he is indeed more willing to exchange his blood for weapons and props. But he is more cautious about it.
