Emerald was dark after closing, and the girl's confused whispers came from the darkness.
Until there was a soft sound and the whisper disappeared instantly.
The key entered the keyhole, there was a click, the door opened, and then there was the sound of turning on the light.
The warm light disperses the darkness.
"Want to have a drink before going home?" Ringer said.
"Okay." Lanya's eyes lit up.
While Lin Ge was preparing the wine, Lanya was sitting at the bar, holding her chin in her hands, watching Lin Ge's every move.
The store was very quiet at this time, so quiet that she could clearly hear the sound of wine being poured into the cup. She really liked this atmosphere where only she and Ringer were there, and no one would disturb them.
Ringer placed a glass of "Lavender Lady" in front of Lanya. The light purple wine looked quiet and charming, exuding an alluring aroma.
His own was a cup of "Godfather" with a slight change. The whiskey in the original recipe was replaced with strong beer.
Lanya mustered up her courage and raised her glass to him.
He smiled slightly and lowered his wine glass. The edges of the two wine glasses collided gently, making a pleasant sound.
"Are we stealing wine?" Lanya asked cautiously.
"I will record it in the account, and Nelu will know when she sees it tomorrow."
"oh."
After taking a few sips of wine, Lanya's ears quickly turned red. Ms. Lavender's alcohol content was not high, but the atmosphere at this time made her heart pound.
She felt something was wrong with herself today, but she couldn't control it.
The Ringer in front of me is more attractive than ever before, his nose, his ears, his lips, and his Adam's apple...
She stared at Ringer blankly and swallowed uncontrollably.
Is it the environment or the alcohol?
"Is there something on my face?" Linge noticed Lanya's strange expression and couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, no, it's nothing."
Lanya woke up suddenly, looked away, and lowered her head shyly.
"Okay, let's go back."
Lin Ge walked out of the bar, but Lanya still sat motionless on the chair.
"Are you okay? Are you drunk?"
When he was close to Lanya, she suddenly turned around and threw herself on him, hugging him tightly.
Ringer patted her shoulder lightly.
"Okay, stop making trouble, we should leave. Or do you want me to carry you back like this?" Ringer said half-jokingly.
But Lanya began to dig under his neck, breathing heavily, and her moist and warm breath fell on his neck.
"you……"
A tiny electric current suddenly spread throughout Ringer's body, reaching the top of his head. The source of the electric current was in the muscles at the junction of the neck and shoulders.
"She actually licked me!"
Lin Ge was stunned by this bold move. He had no idea that Lanya would dare to make such a bold move.
What should I do now?
Fight back heroically, or stop her?
Just as he was considering his next steps, he felt pain in his shoulder and neck.
"Hiss—" Ringer gritted his teeth suddenly, and then took a long breath.
Lanya, who was clinging to him, also stiffened and slipped from him.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't want to do that..."
Ringer raised her face. His moist eyes were a mixture of remorse, panic, and suppressed desire.
"I know, it's not your fault." He gently wiped the blood from her lips with his thumb.
"I just..." Lanya's lips trembled, wanting to say something.
"Give me your hand."
Lanya raised her left hand.
"No, it's that one, Miss Zuo."
Lanya handed her right hand to Linger.
"I'm sorry, Miss Zuo."
Ringer said hello seriously, then put his nose close to the soft palm and sniffed it a few times.
"It's true, the smell of the undead."
"What?" Lanya's brain was filled with all kinds of strong thoughts, including self-blame, doubt, shyness, expectation... She could no longer think and could only ask blankly.
"I'm afraid the cat that bit you was no ordinary cat." Ringer thought of the undead cat the soldier said and the damned but not dead rat under the Rat King.
Immediately afterwards, he thought of the undead siege incident not long ago, the undead soldiers who suddenly retreated, and Elvi's mysterious smile when he asked.
Yes, this must be the secret plan of the undead army. Although it is not clear what it is, it must be related to them.
"follow me."
He pulled Lanya straight to the door.
"Milia, put me through Elvi's office."
"alright."
"Thank you."
Lin pulled Lanya out.
The door closed again, and darkness returned to the store.
In the darkness, the girl's whisper sounded again. The difference from before was that this time the tone was full of jealousy and anger.
"It must be as soon as possible...a little faster...body...I need a body!"
Some people died, but not completely...
