"My friend dragged me here. He's going to the bathroom now."
Sheng Cheng forced a smile. This young man had an inexplicable similarity in temperament to Yaxiao. Sheng Cheng always felt that bringing him along would ruin his plans.
The young man curled his lips, as if he had just asked casually and was not disappointed by being rejected. "Well, I wish you a good time tonight."
As he said this, he walked into the club.
Sheng Cheng looked at the other person's back, and the ominous premonition gradually dissipated. His eyes were tainted with a few shadows. He was just a stranger. If he was so alert, it would make it easier for people to notice that something was wrong.
"Sheng Cheng, why don't you go in?"
The colleague who came with Sheng Cheng just came out of the bathroom, put his arm around Sheng Cheng's shoulder and asked with a smile.
"fine."
Sheng Cheng's behavior was normal. He smiled and said, "You finally came out. Let's go in."
"Okay, I wonder what fun things there are in this club." The colleague rubbed his hands together, looked excited, and walked towards the club in two quick steps.
Sheng Cheng looked at his colleague's back, calmed himself down and followed him. The plan between him and his parents could not be revealed, and the internal affairs of the club naturally could not be known by outsiders. If one wanted to sneak into the club, he must have a reasonable reason that would not arouse suspicion.
In the eyes of outsiders, he joined the club because of his colleagues' instigation, not because of his own deliberate plan.
This is an illusion that must be created.
No one would know that it was he who subtly guided his colleague to come and see the dark night club in the central city.
Sheng Cheng and his colleagues walked side by side, "Let's take a look around and go back if there's nothing interesting."
"Got it." The colleague was a little impatient with Sheng Cheng's nagging. "It's not easy to come to the central city to broaden your horizons. Don't be so disappointing."
Sheng Cheng smiled and said nothing more. He looked inside the club, hiding the barely perceptible excitement in his eyes.
On the other side, Yaxiao walked briskly into the club, and in his heart, his fourth uncle was optimistic about Sheng Cheng.
He was very curious about Sheng Cheng's purpose of joining the club, but following him would only arouse Sheng Cheng's vigilance, so it would be better to let his fourth uncle monitor Sheng Cheng.
My main purpose is to investigate this club and see if there is anything strange about this place.
Yaxiao stood inside the club, looking around with great interest.
The Dark Night Club is only open at night. As an entertainment venue in the bustling central city, the atmosphere in the club is full of luxury and enjoyment, and the madness of desire and joy surges in the dimness.
Young men and women dancing closely enjoy their night, desperate gamblers slap the jackpot tables, and piles of dazzling gold coins collide under the colorful lights, making crisp sounds, constantly stimulating the greedy desires deep in people's hearts. Men and women walking in the crowd with trays give hot kisses to customers who give them tips. This is a feast of indulgence and freedom.
Ah, is that it
Yaxiao looked away in disappointment, and the tip of his raised tail drooped down. The demon world was much more corrupt than here. Yaxiao was very curious about what was in the club, but he didn't expect it to be just like this.
He raised his hand and touched his ear cuff, planning to finish exploring the interior of the club as soon as possible and then go back to his room to sleep. Yaxiao now felt a little disgusted with this place.
If this club was just ordinary, even if Sheng Cheng had conspiracy in it, Ya Xiao would not want to join it.
"Are you alone?"
The male waiter at the door, wearing a white uniform, noticed a newcomer coming in. He took a few steps forward and asked politely, "Do you need me to introduce the club to you?"
Yaxiao looked at the male receptionist with red lips and white teeth, his eyes suddenly curved, and he smiled and said, "Okay."
This smile made the male receptionist's face turn red involuntarily, and also made the people around who had been paying attention to this place more eager to come. The young man should be here for the first time, otherwise they would never forget this face that could attract countless admirers.
Because the man's background is still unclear, the people around him, although tempted, have no plans to approach him actively for the time being.
Yaxiao noticed that some humans were constantly looking at him with a lack of interest. The demon would not pay attention to anyone who would be knocked down by him in less than a second.
He lowered his head slightly and said to the staff: "Can I go to the second floor to take a look?"
This club is very big, and if you want to get to know the club, it would be faster to be guided by the staff.
This is also the reason why Yaxiao did not lower his presence like he did when he scouted the bar in the Fifth Base before, but went directly into the club.
Newcomers can visit the club for free when they first enter, but they can only enter the club after that if they apply to become a member. This is the rule of the Dark Night Club owner.
"sure."
The male waiter was fascinated by the handsome young man in front of him and nodded immediately. He first took Yaxiao to the front desk to register, and then took him to the second floor.
Compared to the craziness on the first floor, the second floor seemed to be more stylish, but not much less so. The male waiter saw that Yaxiao had no interest in what was in front of him. He thought for a moment and said, "Sir, do you want to go to the third floor? There are many night clubs on the third floor. The astronomy enthusiasts or numerology enthusiasts in the central city should be here at this time."
Most of the nightclubs in the central city are mainly for releasing stress, promoting enjoyment and freedom. There is a decadent side to this, but there is also a positive side.
The male waiter felt that Yaxiao didn't like the extravagant style of the first and second floors and might prefer something more serious.
"OK."
Yaxiao smiled and said naturally as he went upstairs, "If I become a member of the club, I can enter and exit every floor freely from now on?"
"No." The male waiter shook his head and then explained: "The fifth floor is not allowed. Only the gold members of the club can enter the fifth floor."
"Gold member?"
"Yes, as long as your consumption in the club reaches a certain standard, you can be promoted to a gold member."
"What's on the fifth floor?"
The male waiter smiled professionally and said, "This is something that only gold members know. We cannot disclose it. However, the club's hundred gold members are all very satisfied with the fifth floor."
Yaxiao nodded upon hearing this.
The membership hierarchy is a common method used by clubs in the central city to make money, and there is nothing wrong with it on the surface.
The lobby on the third floor is indeed much quieter.
However, the fans who are obsessed with the starry sky and numerology have a passion that is no less than that of the people downstairs, and from time to time you can hear them discussing something heatedly.
He walked over with great interest. The astronomy enthusiasts who were adjusting the lenses were very enthusiastic and invited Yaxiao to use their telescopes to observe the starry sky.
The male waiter was relieved when he saw that Yaxiao seemed very interested in these things. After some confirmation, he was sure that his job of guiding the new customers was completed, and he reluctantly left the third floor.
After the male waiter left, Yaxiao asked curiously to the astronomy enthusiast wearing glasses next to him: "Do you know the gold members on the fifth floor?"
"I don't know, that should be a game for rich people." The astronomy enthusiast wearing black-framed glasses said sympathetically. The fifth floor is a place he will never be able to enter in his lifetime.
Yaxiao observed his expression and saw that the man was speaking from the heart. He looked at the gorgeous starry sky for a few seconds, then stepped back and returned the telescope to its owner.
So, what's on the fifth floor
After re-adjusting the lens, the man with glasses was about to let the new enthusiast continue observing the starry sky, but when he turned around, he found that the young man who was beside him just now had disappeared.
At the same time, Yaxiao stood at the door of the fifth floor. There were five or six bodyguards in black in the corridor, and the security was tight. It was impossible for anyone who was not a gold member to get in.
Yaxiao walked over calmly.
During this time, none of the black-clad bodyguards reacted, as if they hadn't seen anyone walk into the fifth floor openly right under their noses.
In the magnificent hall, men and women in expensive gowns were spinning on the dance floor. They were either from noble families or wealthy businessmen. Their laughter and playfulness revealed the happiness and luxury that could only be found in the central city.
Yaxiao originally thought that there should be something special on the fifth floor that only gold members could enter, but these people seemed to be just ordinary people? They didn't seem like they could conspire with Sheng Cheng.
In the original plot, the protagonist Wei Shi also came to this club to look for clues, but in the end he concluded that this dark night club was indeed just an ordinary night club.
Sheng Cheng's joining was just a coincidence.
Yaxiao thought about it and asked in his heart: [Fourth Uncle, what is Sheng Cheng doing now? ]
[He is now on the third floor.]
The system huddled in a corner and stared at Sheng Cheng, his reading glasses polished to a shine: [Sheng Cheng and his colleagues are communicating with a new club member. ]
[Newly met club members?]
[Yes.] The system looked at the man and described: [There should be something wrong with the man's eyes, which were wrapped in a layer of gauze, but the conversation between the several people was very normal, and there was nothing suspicious.]
Yaxiao hummed thoughtfully, turned and went downstairs, and appeared near Shengcheng in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Sheng Cheng was still chatting with the young man, but the two looked like they had just met and were not familiar with each other. They were also extremely polite when communicating.
Yaxiao turned and looked at the young man wrapped in white gauze.
The man held a cane in one hand and a thick book under his right arm. He was well-mannered and had a gentle temperament.
At first glance, Yaxiao recognized him as one of the characters in the plot, Sheldon.
In the original book, Sheldon is a friend of the protagonists and one of the leaders of the third level of the club. He has a girlfriend who depends on him for life.
Sheldon appeared only a few times and his ending was not very good. After a few sporadic meetings with him, the protagonists learned that his beloved girlfriend had passed away.
Since then, Sheldon's mental state has not been very good. He eventually died at home without even leaving a suicide note.
The protagonist Wei Shi wanted to find out the truth about his death, but he only came to the conclusion that he committed suicide by taking medicine.
So Xie Erduo still knows Sheng Cheng
This is such a coincidence.
Yaxiao curled his eyes, and at this moment Sheng Cheng looked up inadvertently. Yaxiao waved to him slightly in a friendly manner, "Hi, what a coincidence, we meet again!"
Sheng Cheng: …
Damn, what kind of evil fate is this
"Do you know each other?"
The colleague next to him, Ai Bo, looked at Yaxiao and then at Sheng Cheng.
"Yeah." Sheng Cheng's reply was somewhat reluctant, "I just met him at the door."
Sheldon seemed a little quiet beside him, with a gentle curve at the corner of his mouth, without any aggression.
Yaxiao walked up to them and said with a smile, "Do you want to join this club?"
Ai Bo is a young civilian officer who likes to play around, which is why Sheng Cheng picked him on purpose. When he heard Ya Xiao's question, he immediately replied, "Of course I will! I finally got my salary, so I must have a good time in the club for a few days!"
"What about you?" Ai Bo asked back excitedly, like a child who had not grown up.
"I'll join in, too."
Yaxiao's eyes passed through Sheng Cheng and Xie Erduo, and finally fell on Ai Bo, with a happy smile in his blue eyes.
The interior of this club seems to be more interesting than I thought.
He was very curious about the role Sheldon played in the plot, and it was too boring to draw conclusions directly using magic.
It is quite interesting to explore it slowly without threatening yourself by absorbing demonic value.
System: [Host, you just can't bear to part with your demon value. ]
[Fourth Uncle, you really understand me.]
Yaxiao praised the system in an excited tone, then took out his computer and added Ai Bo and the others as friends.
Of course, the optical computer is newly purchased.
He will never reveal his identity as Yaxiao.
Ai Bo was a very sociable person, so he did not refuse and directly added the handsome young man as his friend.
Sheng Cheng didn't want to attract attention, so he had to add Yaxiao as a friend, just like Ai Bo, feeling aggrieved.
“Should I join in too?”
Sheldon had been standing quietly by the side, and when Yaxiao came over to add him as a friend, his tone sounded a little surprised.
"I heard from Ai Bo that you are the person in charge of the third floor." Ya Xiao curled his eyes, "I am very interested in stars, so I want to ask you about astronomy on the optical computer."
"So that's how it is."
Sheldon is also an astronomy enthusiast. Hearing what Yaxiao said, he seemed a little happy. "If you have any questions about stargazing, you can come and talk to me."
"OK."
Yaxiao agreed immediately.
Sheng Cheng, who was standing next to them, looked at the two people chatting happily and once again had an ominous premonition.
The lord asked him to get close to Sheldon and secretly observe whether he would betray him. Such a simple plan should not have any problems.
Surely not...right
Yaxiao had no idea what Sheng Cheng was thinking, but of course he wouldn't care even if he knew. After adding all the friends, he went downstairs to pay and verify his membership.
There would be no problem with the fake identity that his fourth uncle had fabricated for him. He was just an ordinary young man in the central city and had nothing to do with the steward of the Sixth Base.
After everything was resolved, Yaxiao took advantage of the night to teleport back to his temporary residence in the central city.
After changing back into his usual attire and appearance in the room, it was now three o'clock in the morning. After thinking for a while, Yaxiao did not go to bed directly, but took the room card and went to the next room.
When the villain saw his younger brother Qin Chen in the evening, he did not show any abnormality and his TH value was also stable.
But Yaxiao was still a little worried.
As a housekeeper, he could enter and exit Qin Qi's room at any time to observe his TH value, which was completely in accordance with the rules. Yaxiao attached the room card to the sensor and walked in quietly, trying to avoid disturbing Qin Qi's sleep.
"What's wrong?"
A magnetic, low, hoarse voice suddenly came from the dim room.
Yaxiao was stunned for a moment.
The demon's good eyesight allowed him to see that Qin Qi was not lying on the bed sleeping, but sitting upright on a chair, and it was unknown how long he had been sitting there.
Is this a sleepless night
