The air in the tavern seemed to have solidified.
The original noise of drinking wine gradually became weaker.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the man and woman who just pushed the door open.
Until the two of them found a relatively clean corner to sit down as if there was no one else around.
The whispers in the tavern began slowly, but they were obviously several decibels lower than before.
The men who were still whistling at the gaudy dancer on the stage now had their eyes turned to that corner.
While looking away, he pretended to drink.
Even the dancer on the Xiao Wu stage who was twisting her waist seemed boring.
She jumped awkwardly, her movements getting louder and louder, and she even deliberately raised her skirt higher. However, she found that the old perverts in the audience didn't even look at her, they were all peeking at that corner.
In the corner.
That Vague Woman seemed unaware of the sticky gazes around him, or in other words, he didn't even care.
She was peeling a nut, and with an "ah" sound, she handed the nut to the man's mouth.
"It can't be this, right?"
The woman's voice was somewhat coquettish and speechless.
Vague Man ate the nuts with her hands, smiled and shook her head, "No."
At the other end of the pub.
Consul Wang, who had a sinister face, also looked at the woman, swallowed, and then reluctantly looked back.
He turned his head and looked at the cowering Father Xue in front of him, and the expression on his face instantly turned into impatience.
"I said Brother Xue, what are you looking at? Is that someone you can look at?"
Consul Wang knocked on the table, making a dull sound.
"The money is here and the wine is here."
"Are you going to drink or not? If you don't want to drink, just say so. I won't embarrass you and I'll just take the money."
With that said, he pretended to go get the bag of Gold Soul Coin.
Father Xue's body trembled suddenly.
He looked at the hand reaching for the money bag, and then at the large bowl of pungent liquor on the table.
That's my wife's medicine money.
"I drink...!"
Father Xue gritted his teeth and picked up the wine bowl with his rough, cracked hands.
The smell of low-quality soju rushed into his nose, making his stomach churn.
But he didn't dare to stop. He raised his neck and drank a big gulp.
The hot liquid flowed down the throat and into the stomach.
"Bang!"
Finished the first cup.
Consul Wang smiled and pushed one over Gold Soul Coin: "Brother Xue has a good capacity for drinking! Come on, keep going!"
The second cup... the third cup...
Father Xue's face turned the color of pig liver, and veins popped out on his forehead.
This low-quality soju has a medium alcohol content, but because it has not been filtered well, its stamina is terrifying.
Usually those old drunkards have to hold on to the wall even after five or six drinks, let alone someone like him who usually never drinks and is chronically malnourished?
When I drank the fourth cup.
Father Xue felt like the world was spinning, and the overwhelming nausea could no longer be suppressed.
"Ugh--!"
He couldn't hold it in any longer, tilted his body, and spat it out with a loud sound.
The filth sprayed all over the floor, splashing on his trouser legs and worn shoes, and the sour smell spread instantly.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Father Xue was lying on the edge of the table, coughing violently, tears and mucus flowing uncontrollably, and the whole person was extremely embarrassed.
"Ouch!"
Consul Wang jumped back in disgust, covered his nose and cursed, "Brother Xue, are you boring now?"
He looked down at the man lying down like a dead dog with disdain on his face:
"Can you still drink? Ah? Talk!"
The movement here caused many people to frown and look over.
Vague Man in the corner also turned his head slightly and took a look at the embarrassing scene here.
The woman next to him didn't even raise her head, she just buried her face in the man's neck, as if to avoid the smell.
Father Xue was holding on to the table, breathing heavily, his stomach burning so hard that he felt dizzy.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to get the Gold Soul Coin.
"Crack!"
Consul Wang slapped his hand off and sneered:
"What good things are you thinking about?"
"The rule is one gold coin per cup. You've spit it out and you still want money?"
"Get out of here! Don't disgust me!"
Father Xue gritted his teeth and dug his nails into the gaps in the wooden table.
That feeling of humiliation was ten thousand times stronger than the burning feeling in my stomach.
But what can he do?
Just then.
"Huh--"
The dim yellow oil lamps on the ceiling of the tavern suddenly flickered a few times without warning.
Immediately afterwards, the light in the entire tavern quickly dimmed.
"What's going on? The lamp is out of oil?"
"Boss! Light the lamp!"
The drinkers looked up and cursed.
The next second, everyone was stunned.
I saw a thick black mist condensed under the ceiling of the tavern at some point.
"What is that...?"
"Clouds? Dark clouds?"
"Why are there dark clouds in the house?"
Several Soul Master drinkers stood up with strange expressions on their faces. "No! This is Soul Power fluctuation! It's Soul Skill!"
Before anyone could react.
The dark cloud spread instantly and completely engulfed the entire tavern!
The tavern that was noisy just now was suddenly plunged into deathly darkness.
"Who? Who is pretending?"
"Ah! Don't squeeze me!"
There was chaos in the tavern, but in the eyes of everyone watching Heavenly Curtain, the picture became extremely clear.
They saw it, near the corner.
There were a few drunken men, taking advantage of the cover of darkness and groping towards Vague Woman with lewd smiles on their faces.
"Hehe... it's so dark, just right for my brother to touch..."
"Little girl, I just couldn't bear your figure..."
That dirty hand was about to touch the woman's slender waist.
However.
Just at this moment.
Vague Man, who had been sitting there quietly, suddenly moved.
He didn't even get up, he just slightly raised the hand holding the wine glass and shook it lightly into the void.
"Buzz!"
The rolling dark clouds around him suddenly lost their previous control and received new orders.
It instantly transformed into three huge black ghost claws, protruding from the darkness and grabbing the throats of the three big men with incomparable accuracy!
"Uh... he..."
The three strong men didn't even utter a scream. Their feet instantly lifted off the ground, like dead pigs hanging on iron hooks, kicking feebly in mid-air.
Their eyes popped out and fear was written on their faces.
But the black mist's sharp claws didn't move at all, and were still tightening.
After a while.
The dark clouds dispersed and the oil lamps came on again.
The light returned to the tavern.
Everyone was horrified to find that in the corner over there, there were three twisted corpses lying silently in the aisle.
And in the corner.
That Vague Man is still holding the wine glass, and his posture has not changed.
The woman next to him was still peeling nuts with her head down, as if she didn't know what had just happened.
"This... this..."
There was a deathly silence in the tavern.
Everyone just felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet to the sky.
And that Vague Man seemed to be looking at the position where Father Xue was just now, intentionally or unintentionally.
Father Xue, I don't know when I left my seat and disappeared.
In the rainy night, a slender and petite figure reluctantly walked on the path supporting the drunk and unconscious Father Xue...
