In the night, the waiter's figure was out of place with the environment.
He led Chen Qing all the way south and came to an alley. The alley was full of stench, the smell of excrement and alcohol blended together, and the moss on the corners had grown to the middle of the road.
"It's not the same as an address."
Chen Qing stopped and stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the man with his back turned to him.
Being so close, the cologne on his body could barely suppress some of the troublesome smell.
He bowed slightly and seemed a little apologetic on his face: "I'm sorry...sir. I didn't expect the entrance to be opened here this time."
He took off his hat and saluted, and every gesture on his body could be said to be strict and standardized to the extreme.
Chen Qing frowned slightly and opened his mouth, but after hesitating for a moment, he swallowed the words.
"Forget it. Let's go."
He held his forehead and was about to take a step, but found that the man didn't make any move.
After he had given the signal to go ahead, after he urged the receptionist to continue.
He was still standing and watching; he looked at Chen Qing's face and smiled slightly, put the hat in his hand parallel to his chest, and said politely: "Sir, in order to prevent conflicts and accidents, please do not use anything after entering the club. It is a non-relic that carries the purpose of investigation and snooping. Please do not inquire about the identities and missions of other distinguished guests.
In the club, any attempt to find out the other party's identity is considered a declaration of war.
After the war is declared, casualties incurred by both sides are not covered by the club's management services.
Secondly, please do not use any non-relics to explore the club's entrance, task bulletin board, waiters, stewards, and managers.
If there is any violation, the club will treat it as a declaration of war on you. "
Chen Qing frowned, and the vertical pupils on his forehead and under his palms quietly closed. He looked at the other person and asked with some curiosity: "Why did you tell me these contents."
The man smiled slightly and looked very respectful: "It is my duty to serve you and answer your questions.
It is even better to answer questions for investigators who are here for the first time. "
Chen Qing's body was a little stiff. Has he been exposed? Because of what, was it my own question?
"Don't worry." The waiter turned around calmly and explained to Chen Qing: "As a staff member of the club, I have certain authority.
And you haven't registered with us, so I know. "
Chen Qing nodded, but always felt something was wrong.
But for a while, he could no longer drag the waiter here to answer his questions. After speaking, the two of them walked to the end of the alley.
The waiter stretched out his hand and tapped the wall twice, then walked into the wall without waiting for any reaction.
Chen Qing was stunned for a while, but he immediately picked up his steps. His stepped feet did not receive any resistance. His vision was obscured the moment he entered the wall. What appeared next was a gorgeous and full of Weird world.
He stood in front of a door. The hall in front of him was filled with countless neon lights. Those neon lights shined from top to bottom, but they could only light up part of the hall.
The middle of the hall is the brightest. Those lights are aimed at the middle position, but the circle of light seems to be restrained by an object and cannot expand outward even half a minute.
And outside that circle of light, just a few centimeters away, there became an abyss.
Chen Qing didn't think about how deep it was. Just with his vision, he could see hundreds of meters away.
Outside the circle that isolates the abyss in the center, there are countless circular decks that are more than one meter long. Some of the decks cannot see the contents inside. Those decks are completely black, like black holes. This space has been erased.
But from the unoccupied booth, one could see the scenery inside, including a sofa several meters long, a few bottles of wine, and a few cigars, although these things looked like they had not been touched for a long time.
And further outside that circle of booths was a standing-room-only dance floor.
The people on the dance floor seemed to be going crazy, dancing desperately to the beat.
Chen Qing took a quick look and found the previous targets in an instant.
Just when he was lost in thought, a hand quietly put on his shoulder. He was horrified and instantly slumped his shoulders to counterattack his opponent. But what he didn't expect was that the hand left in an instant. .
"Sir? I called you several times."
He turned around, and the waiter from before was standing behind him.
"Are you still going to serve me?" Chen Qing was a little surprised.
"Yes sir." He smiled and half-bent to lift the curtain of a private box for Chen Qing.
Over there, there were a few girls, a few bottles of wine, and a few boxes of family planning supplies.
He frowned and asked the waiter: "Are they part of the task handover?"
The waiter shook his head: "They belong to you."
"Let the rest of the crowd go down first." He frowned, but he already saw the girl in the room making coquettish gestures at him.
"Understood. Priority needs." He clapped his hands, and the girls in the room instantly looked disappointed.
After they left through the back door, Chen Qing and the waiter entered the box.
In the box, a faint wisp of sandalwood dyed the corner.
The waiter pulled the table, and a writing table covered with information appeared in front of Chen Qing.
"Let me introduce myself first, hello sir, I am your housekeeper and the person who connects you with the club.
You can call me: 'Karans' or whatever you like.
From today on, all your activities in the club will be conducted through me. Please introduce yourself. "
Chen Qing was stunned for a while and asked Kalans: "From now on, will you only be responsible for me?"
He nodded and continued: "You can call me anytime you need to communicate. Excluding the back room, as long as you are within the scope of the present world, I will arrive at your side within twenty seconds."
"Will you always follow me?" He frowned.
"Yes. From today on, I will only be responsible for you."
"Spying on me for the club?"
"No, keep an eye on the club for you."
He stood up and saluted respectfully. He looked at Chen Qing and asked in a very solemn tone: "Please provide your name."
He frowned slightly, this respectful attitude making him a little uncomfortable.
"Chen Qing."
"Please provide one of your unique characteristics."
He was puzzled, but heard the waiter continue to explain: "Your voice, irises, fingerprints, or some non-relic that will never leave except in death."
"This information will be forged." He asked again.
"Don't worry." He smiled slightly and extended his hand to Chen Qing.
"But how can I provide it to you?"
"Please just put your hand up."
He put his hand up, and information about a non-relic instantly flooded into his mind.
“F-class non-relic—unfailing loyalty.
After use, it will be subject to all control of the contracting party.
The user is the contracted party, and the person who touches it after use is the contracting party.
Conditions of use: None. "
He was stunned for a moment, but his consciousness had already completed the contract with this non-relic in an instant.
He looked strange, and he also understood why the other party said that he would monitor the club for him.
As long as Chen Qing makes a thought at this moment, the name of Kalans will be over in an instant.
He looked at Karans and asked strangely: "Is there something wrong with your founder? Do you want to give a butler to people who come over?"
He shook his head and explained with a smile: "Our founder was trained as a butler... He is also accumulating contacts in this way.
And we are just a gift from him. "
Chen Qing sighed, but nodded after understanding: "I won't find a house for you."
"Don't worry, the club will arrange everything before I complete my landing."
He asked again: "Will you tell me all the questions I raised?"
Karans shook his head: "I can only answer your questions within my service authority."
"Okay." Chen Qing nodded and said, "Answer as much as possible within your authority. If it exceeds your authority, just keep silent."
He pointed outside the room and continued to ask: "The center, booths, and dance floor, do they represent class?"
"Yes. But it also has something to do with identity."
"What about here?"
“Between the deck and the center.”
He was silent for a while.
"Are there ordinary people here? Ordinary people who know about non-relics, know about back rooms, and know about extraordinary power."
"Yes, and there are many. The three girls from before are them."
"Where's the dance floor?"
“Mostly.
In fact, investigators do not have much time to deal with many secular matters. In this case, they will entrust some ordinary people to complete the task. "
"I noticed a word. Non-relic. How did you use this word?"
"Oh?" He looked a little surprised: "It was provided by a cadre within the Shen'en Sect.
The cadre promoted the change of nouns and left a sentence at the same time. "
"What words?"
"You owe me two favors."
"Who did he say it to?"
Karans shook his head: "I don't know. She told everyone, and she only said: Those who know will naturally know."
Chen Qing pinched his eyebrows, yes, he already knew.
Isn't the person talking to me the same? Only she would use this name, and only she would know that anyone using this name would be a target.
She indirectly hid her identity for once, but why.
"What is Charisma?"
Karanth was a little stunned, but his good quality prevented him from asking a question, but answered: "A church founded by an investigator, an extraordinary person, or even a physical creature.
The church organization is quite strong. In the same batch, there are also foundations, Human Life Alliance, Taoist priests, and clubs.
Among them, except for those who are not familiar with Taoism, everyone else will often come into contact with Taoism. "
"Oh, but you don't have to worry." He quickly added: "The organization in the investigator is relatively pure. If you want to kill people and steal goods, the organization will not retaliate against you. The most it can do is recover non-relics and knowledge.
The only person who really wants to avenge the dead is the target you want to kill. "
