Chapter 1368 1354: Reincarnation

Upon recognizing Han Mei.

Zhou Yi's palms were drenched in cold sweat. The woman had jumped to her death, and even her corpse was cremated. How could she possibly experience Resurrection?

Strange, very strange.

His eyes swept over to Boss Bei beside him, "Swindler, what kind of place is this?"

This place.

It's definitely not a simple trading venue.

"Here... here, ah."

Boss Bei, as if awakening from a dream, responded, "It belongs to the Half-Yin Land, a special kind of place.

Only at certain times, in certain ways.

Can one enter.

Because of the concealment of such places, gradually, it evolved into an underground trading venue within the industry."

Zhou Yi frowned.

Indeed.

They departed at midnight, a special time.

They arrived by that bizarre bus, a special place.

Zhou Yi pressed on, "Didn't you notice that there's something off about those people on stage?"

Boss Bei revealed a cryptic smile once again, "Those who can come here, isn't something wrong with all of them? Alright, the show's over, we should be leaving.

I'll bring you here next time.

This place.

One cannot linger for too long."

Boss Bei smiled free and easy, standing up.

By this time, the music had ended, the dance scattered.

Most people began moving towards the exit, preparing to leave the hall.

Only the top three spenders of the night had the right to stay and lodge on the second floor, the rest couldn't stay even if they wanted to, that's the rule of Drunken Red House.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the 20th anniversary of our Drunken Red House's opening!"

At this moment.

The heavily made-up middle-aged woman who had previously led Zhou Yi and Boss Bei walked from the side to the center of the stage, holding a flower ball in her hand, she squealed, "So, to show our gratitude to all of you.

Tonight, we will select a lucky guest to be our Drunken Red House courtesan Xiao Qu'er's bedfellow!

If you can win Xiao Qu'er's favor.

Even if you get to kiss the beauty and take her home, it's not impossible!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd was instantly captivated, each one staring at Xiao Qu'er with eyes shining.

The middle-aged woman placed the flower ball into Han Mei's hands.

Next.

Han Mei tossed the ball in the air, and it instantly began to fly.

But.

The trajectory of that flying flower ball clearly defied the laws of physics.

It actually stopped in mid-air, continuously spinning in place as if multiple forces acted on it, canceling each other out, leaving only the centripetal force making it rotate!

This...

Zhou Yi glanced around, noticing that quite a few people seemed to be secretly using their Awakened Abilities to control the flower ball's trajectory, trying to make it land where they wanted.

Absurd!

So many Awakened individuals here.

Zhou Yi counted, there were at least a hundred people in the hall, even the Anti-Insurgency Bureau didn't have so many Awakened individuals, truly there are experts among the common folk.

At this moment.

Boss Bei suddenly gave Zhou Yi a heavy pat on the shoulder, "If that flower ball lands in our hands, that would be great! You might even get a chance for deep exchanges with Xiao Qu'er, count me out, she's not my type!"

As he finished saying this, just as Zhou Yi was about to respond.

Suddenly, the flower ball in mid-air started moving as if the forces on it had lost balance.

However.

Its direction was actually towards Zhou Yi!

Three seconds later.

The flower ball hit him squarely in the chest, instinctively grabbing it, Zhou Yi felt it was beyond comprehension!

Those secretly exerting strength also didn't expect this outcome!

In a clash between rivals, the third party profits.

They ended up like the ultimate workers, fighting to the point of breathlessness, only to benefit someone who didn't even try!

The clown is actually me.jpg

"Congratulations to this gentleman for becoming our lucky winner today!"

The proprietor stepped quickly to Zhou Yi's side, wearing a broad smile, "May I ask what your name is?"

"Uh, my Chinese name is Hu Tutu, but I prefer others to call me by my English name, Vincent. The 'cent' must be pronounced with a strong quiver, and it would be even better if you add a little roll of the tongue,"

Zhou Yi's self-introduction left both the proprietor and all the guests in the hall speechless.

For a moment.

The once lively and festive atmosphere turned two degrees colder.

Boss Bei was in shock.

He seemed astonished at how this guy was nonchalantly impersonating his name, and how he said it so audaciously in a public setting without a hint of embarrassment.

"Well then, Mr. Vincent."

The proprietor forced a smile, quickly saying to prevent Zhou Yi from ruining the atmosphere further, "Then tonight, you can discuss the issue of pronunciation with Xiao Qu'er, she is also an expert in music.

I believe.

A spark will ignite between the two of you!"

Finishing her sentence.

The proprietor nudged Zhou Yi along, leading him up to the second floor.

"Kid, I'm heading back first, don't let me disturb your good luck."

Boss Bei shouted loudly from the crowd, not hiding the jealousy and a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.

Initially, Zhou Yi planned to investigate Han Mei's situation.

Now this opportunity presented itself naturally.

Zhou Yi certainly wouldn't let it slip away.

He took a deep breath and proceeded to the second floor.

This place was elegantly decorated, with pear wood doors and railings, each room hung a delicate Wooden Token at the entrance.

The Wooden Token was inscribed with the girls' names in ancient script.

"Sir, here is Xiao Qu'er's room. By the way, before you enter, you need to leave other things you're carrying outside, please understand,"

The proprietor eyed Zhou Yi's climbing bag.

Especially the exposed handle of the Horse-cutting Blade that was modestly disguised.

"Ah, that's my musical instrument!"

Zhou Yi tightened his grip on the climbing bag with a smile, "You know I'm here to discuss music today, I can't possibly leave my instrument behind, can I?"

In such a bizarre place.

Zhou Yi certainly wouldn't hand over the Horse-cutting Blade.

"Really?"

Suspicion laced the proprietor's voice.

"Really! Truly! More true than gold!"

Zhou Yi immediately promised.

The proprietor hesitated for a moment, then wore a strange smile: "Alright then, treat Xiao Qu'er well.

She's only been here a short while and is still untouched.

If you can enchant her, maybe you can walk away with the beauty, the redemption here isn't too expensive either."

With those words.

The proprietor twisted her waist, leisurely descended the stairs, and disappeared from view.

Zhou Yi cautiously pushed open the wooden door.

Before him.

Stood a large screen painted with a landscape, blocking nearly half the room, forming a barrier that divided the room into two spaces.

Xiao Qu'er sat behind the screen.

By the light of the red candles on the table, Zhou Yi could vaguely see her shadow cast upon the screen.

"Hello, Vincent is here uninvited, pardon the disturbance, young lady,"

Zhou Yi sat before the table, across the screen, initiating a simple greeting.
