What should a bar look like?
Obscure flashing lights, indulging men and women, chaotic and noisy music, and all kinds of discordant things hidden underneath. Although it's a bit excessive to describe it, most bars are like this. Even if it's not like this, it can't be a holy place filled with bright sunshine and light music, right?
That's why the red brick wall that was once filled with artistic atmosphere and tasteful life closed down — — the owner who floated past the soy sauce should really open a coffee shop.
After half an hour of crazy labor by the twin sisters, the little flower shop had completely recovered its former appearance. I finally understood what a "stylish coffeehouse-style bar" looked like. Although the overall layout was similar to a normal bar, this strange place as a bar didn't even have a dance floor. Instead, it was filled with bright lights and floor-to-ceiling windows. The interior was also filled with a light and simple sky blue color. It looked like a cross between a bar and a coffee shop. The previous owner's artistic bacteria had clearly fermented, which caused this place that could have been quite creative to become so nondescript. Perhaps with the development of culture, this kind of stylish bar would also have its own living space. However, it was obvious that it was born too early, and it shouldn't have been born in a rapidly developing and impetuous city like K City.
It's said that artists easily starve to death. Don't believe those artists on TV with oily hair and shiny leather shoes. They don't even have a patch on their body, and they still have the nerve to call themselves artists!
I kept cursing in my mind, completely because the atmosphere had mysteriously fallen into awkwardness.
Everything seemed to have been planned. A few Imperial Army officers who were good at acting were disguised as the customers of the bar. They whispered to each other in the lingering light music. One or two waiters in waiter attire would occasionally pass by with a tray in their hands. The entire scene was filled with genuine harmony. It perfectly recreated the grand occasion that Liliana described the last time they met. If it was me, I would have already opened a chess room!
No wonder Liliana and Xiao Ling dared to come to the bar as little lolis. Looking at the atmosphere of this place, I reckon that even if there was no one to take care of their child, they would still leave them here!
The twins did their job well, but the two main characters in front of me were both silent. Xiao Ling was obviously immersed in an unforgettable memory, and Liliana didn't know what to say.
As an 'outsider', I obviously couldn't take the initiative to speak. Pandora was a taciturn gourd who couldn't speak even if she was struck by lightning. As for Veska … she was sleeping on the table …
Liu Fan could be said to be the only outsider at the scene who really didn't know what was going on. When he saw this situation, he was naturally extremely puzzled. He first looked around and sighed at the strange fact that a bar like this could survive. Then, he asked doubtfully, "Eh? Why isn't anyone saying anything? "
"Ahem." Seeing that the awkward atmosphere had already formed, I finally couldn't help but cough. Then I faced Xiao Ling and said, "The atmosphere of this place is pretty good."
"Yeah, this is a rare bar that is suitable for students …" Xiao Ling replied in a panic as his train of thought was suddenly interrupted. The surrounding scene was too familiar. It was exactly the same as that day. Even the couple sitting by the window was quarreling … How could such a scene appear again!
Of course, she didn't know that everything in front of her was a stage set up based on the memories that Liliana shared with me. The human soul was really a wonderful thing. Even though Liliana didn't remember the details, her soul still faithfully recorded everything that happened. With the efforts of the nanomachines and a bunch of acting Imperial Army officers (although I soon began to doubt whether they really had acting skills), I could guarantee that even a fly flying here would be the same size as that day!
Seeing that Pandora was about to fall asleep in the light music, I couldn't help but break the silence, "I heard that you have an older sister?"
Xiao Ling just picked up the glass in front of her and didn't swallow the drink before she choked. Then she looked at me with a surprised expression. She wasn't surprised that I knew about this kind of thing. She also didn't treat her missing sister as a secret. Moreover, because of our identities as "Gods", she probably wouldn't be surprised no matter what kind of secret I told her. What Xiao Ling was really surprised about was why I brought up this topic at this time.
Moreover, it was in this bar.
He clearly remembered that this bar had already closed down and was converted into a flower shop. After the flower shop opened, he had also been here once or twice. The two identical sister store managers had left a very deep impression on him. Oh, of course, the fact that they didn't know how to entertain customers at all and left him hanging for more than half an hour also left a very deep impression on him …
But now, why did the bar that should have disappeared reappear? Even the scene inside didn't change at all?
It can't be a dream, right?
Xiao Ling's mind was a mess of these thoughts. After a few seconds, she finally remembered to answer my question, "Ah, yes, I have an older sister … But, three years ago, she … disappeared without a trace."
"Disappeared without a trace?"
Did she think that her older sister was just missing?
But Xiao Ling revealed a sad expression and shook her head slightly, "Maybe it's just my wishful thinking that she disappeared without a trace. In fact, many people said that my older sister died. I also saw the suicide note, and there were even witnesses that night … But, I really can't believe that my older sister died just like that. They didn't even find her body, how could they say that she was dead!? My older sister, she … she just disappeared! "
Look at what you've done, I secretly rolled my eyes at Liliana and sent her the message above. This time, she didn't respond with a poisonous tongue. Instead, she slightly lowered her head and her eyes were red.
Meow, I'm too kind!
With a half-joking tone, I tried to guide her with a sentence, "Maybe your older sister transmigrated that day …"
"Don't make fun of her like that!" I didn't expect Xiao Ling's reaction to be so fierce, "Although I am very grateful for your help to me and Liu Fan, I still hope that you won't use this kind of method to make fun of my older sister!"
I was stunned for a moment, then slowly revealed a mysterious smile. Things didn't seem to be as complicated as I thought, "Do you think transmigration is a joke?"
“？” Xiao Ling's face had a surprised expression, but there was a trace of expectation in her eyes that she didn't even notice.
"I admit that in the eyes of the majority of ordinary people, transmigration is a nonsensical matter that can even be used to curse people." Slowly sipping on the drink in front of me, I quickly organized the words in my head. It would have been great if Dingdang was there, the little thing should know the rules and regulations in this area like the back of her hand. "However, from our point of view, any transmigration incident should be treated seriously and recorded seriously."
Liliana's spiritual connection came over helplessly, "Okay, okay, you're finally starting to talk nonsense …"
Hearing my sudden inexplicable words, Xiao Ling's expression immediately changed. It was a kind of expression that was mixed with a trace of confusion and a trace of expectation. But in addition to the expectation, she was nervous and didn't dare to say a word. She was afraid that the expectation was just her wishful thinking.
"How do I say this?" I scratched my head, "You also know that our identities are not ordinary. So if I tell you that a different world really exists, you will be able to accept it. The simple process is that we found your older sister in a different world … But …"
Without waiting for me to finish, Xiao Ling, who was sitting opposite me, had already lost her composure and stood up. Her movement was so big that the cups and plates on the table were overturned. Across the round table, the girl with an unbearably excited expression almost leaned her entire upper body over. She was almost face to face with me as she shouted, "Is what you said true?"
"Calm down, calm down," I waved my hand to signal Xiao Ling to sit back down, "I still have a 'but'."
"But … What?"
Xiao Ling asked carefully as if he was afraid that the inappropriate question would reveal a result that he couldn't accept. At this moment, I could see the lack of acting skills of the Imperial Army around us. Such a big movement has already happened, why don't you cooperate with me and pay attention to it! Why are you repeating the same actions like robots? Although Liliana had such a waiter in her memory, if you continue to wipe the dishes, the dishes will be ground to nothing, idiot!
After complaining in my heart, I finally organized my words and said, "How should I say this about traveling through space? There are still risks. Don't get too excited. I'm not saying that your sister encountered misfortune. It's just that … her body was destroyed in the process of traveling, and only her soul was preserved. After we brought her back, we created a new body for her. She now has her own new identity, so you might not be able to recognize her. But I can swear on all my personality as the Chief Priestess of the Goddess of Life that it is definitely your sister!"
"Bang!"
A certain fake loli under the table gave me a solid kick. Speaking of which, do you have no confidence in your own personality?
"It's okay! I don't care what my sister has become. I just want my sister to be alive, even if I can't see her again! "
"Then, you guys can recognize each other …" I immediately revealed a relieved smile and spread my hands. "My mission is completed."
"Huh?"
Xiao Ling, who had been waiting for me to continue, was stunned. Then, Liliana, who was sitting next to her, lowered her head and said, "Ling, it's me …"
Xiao Ling hesitantly turned his head in Lina's direction, staring incredulously at the little girl who looked to be a year or two younger than Pandora. His mind was still in a daze, and he couldn't seem to wrap his head around the situation.
Lina's voice was even louder and more determined than before. "A-Ling, I'm your big sister!" Lina said.
"This …" Xiao Ling turned to look at me with a complicated expression. "This joke isn't funny. Maybe you have good intentions, but … your sister is irreplaceable …"
Indeed, if I were to encounter such a situation, I also wouldn't believe that my sister would turn into an eleven and a half year old loli to meet me. Although that version of my sister should be quite cute … Cough, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
"It's not a joke." Facing Xiao Ling's doubt, Liliana suddenly became anxious. The highly intelligent psychologist was at a loss. "I really am your sister. Ling, have you forgotten? This is the place where we last met. Everything around us is exactly the same as that time. Also, the drink in front of you is the one I ordered for you that day. Also, there is a couple who are arguing. Although the two of them are still repeating the same lines that they have repeated more than ten times, it's really stupid, but … "
The last sentence was too funny, idiot! The dignity of the Imperial Army was completely gone at this moment, you b * stard!
However, although the expression on Xiao Ling's face changed, she still didn't call out the word "sister". When something that they had imagined countless times suddenly became a reality, many people would lose the courage to reach out and touch it. Xiao Ling was in such a situation. Although she had subconsciously believed in everything, she was afraid that it was just a dream. She was afraid that everything would be destroyed the moment she opened her mouth. She was afraid of the cruel disappointment after the great hope. Hence, she was still hesitating.
Fortunately, we had predicted this situation.
I tilted my head slightly, and a translucent arm suddenly extended from the wooden floor. It made an OK gesture at me. It was a great loss for the film industry that Anveena didn't star in the Ring!
With the transmission of a secret signal, the "customers" and "waiters" in the small bar quietly left at the same time. The unlucky plate that had been wiped as thin as a cicada's wing finally escaped the fate of being completely rubbed into metal dust. The originally quiet bar quickly became completely quiet. Even the light music that had successfully hypnotized both Visca and Pandora disappeared like an illusion.
Then, the light around them gradually dimmed.
Xiao Ling naturally noticed the change in the atmosphere, but after all, she had experienced even more strange and abnormal events. She didn't show a look of panic, but instead looked around curiously.
When the surrounding light finally dimmed enough for Sadako to appear without any incongruity, Liliana suddenly shivered. Then, a faint blue and white halo emitted from her body.
Xiao Ling's mouth was wide open. She stared dumbfoundedly at the halo that emerged from Liliana's body gradually forming into a vague figure. Tears silently rolled down her cheeks, turning into a low whimper.
"Sis … Sis …"
In the end, I still had to use this move. I hope that Liliana wouldn't have any psychological trauma in the future. The feeling of being possessed by a ghost wasn't as simple as a cold shiver. The feeling of her heart suddenly being swept away by another cold soul still made Medusa's heart palpitate. Speaking of Medusa, shouldn't it be time to expel that fellow who lived and drank in the shadow city?
Her sister's "soul" appeared in front of her. Xiao Ling no longer had any doubts. At this moment, the sisters who had gone through many hardships and finally — well, in fact, Xiao Ling didn't go through many hardships when she saw her sister, but it was quite fitting. The sisters who had finally met each other were tightly hugging each other and crying. Strictly speaking, it was Xiao Ling who was crying, while her "sister" looked at me with a pleading gaze.
"It's not a good thing for the reincarnated soul to be exposed to the outside world for too long." Seeing that as soon as Xiao Ling raised his head, he would be exposed, I quickly found a way for Anveena, whose acting wasn't that good. The ghost maid immediately turned into a white light and re-entered Liliana's body. Then, she slid down the table's leg and returned to the floor. At the same time, Liliana also "woke up" at the right time. The two "people" successfully achieved a seamless connection.
I used the full-band spiritual connection to announce the good news to every onlooker who was paying attention to this matter, "Congratulations, it was a complete success."
While Liliana was busy talking to her sister, she didn't forget to say to the ginseng rooster, "You dare to say that it was a complete success? Look at the quality of the extras you found! There are so many scenes that make people want to spit out rice, but my stupid sister didn't feel anything amiss at all … Forget it, since you've helped me so much and those actors didn't cause any harm, I'll forgive you … Also … I owe you a favor this time … "
This vile guy!
The scene in front of us was really funny. A girl who was obviously already a high school student was hugging a little girl who looked like she was at most eleven years old, calling her sister over and over again, and the little girl was comforting the girl in front of her with a face of a little adult. It was as if the two of them were playing the roles of the opposite …
"Classmate Liu Fan, wake up!"
I waved my hand in front of Liu Fan, who was still in a daze. Then, I patted the two sisters, Visca and Pandora, who were already in a deep sleep, and led the three of them to the backstage of the bar, leaving some space for the two sisters who had finally reunited with each other.
As soon as they saw us, the officers of the Imperial Army who were acting as extras immediately gathered around and began to express how much effort they had put in for today's performance and how long they had rehearsed for it. They just received the news half an hour ago, so what the hell did these guys rehearse for!
Sandora, who had been hiding in the backstage and responsible for dispersing the passers-by, snorted coldly. After the group of extremely bored officers collectively fell silent, she also came over with a smile on her face. However, looking at the cream on the corner of her mouth that hadn't been wiped clean, I knew what this girl had been doing backstage!
"Brother Chen, thank you," Liu Fan finally understood what had happened from the group of overly energetic Imperial Army officers' words. At this moment, he had a sincere expression on his face as he bowed to me, "Really …"
"Alright, alright, are you still planning to leave now?"
Liu Fanggang opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Lina's unwavering voice rang out from the vases of flowers next to us. "My sister is staying. This useless piece of wood can get the hell out of here!"
"Young man, you still have a long way to go." Seeing Liu Fan's instantly petrified expression, a black-shirted man who had somehow snuck in came over and patted Liu Fan's shoulder with a weathered expression. Then, he placed an item in front of the latter. His tone was as heavy as a captain who had originally planned to go back to his hometown to get married but was killed in the first scene, "Take it, brave young man. I hope this can help you regain your confidence to move forward, and let it guide your future path … Ah!"
Looking at the black pirated CD that Pandora kicked into the wall without hesitation, we collectively sweated — this is really a magical uncle with tenacious vitality!
Crunching the pirated CD that Sicarro dropped on the ground, I resisted the urge to give him another kick and pulled him out from the wall, "Sicarro, is everything done?"
