A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

"thank you all."

After a drink, Gibb felt he should say something, so he spoke.

She is not the type to say thank you very often, but this time I really want to thank here...and everyone here.She couldn't even imagine what would happen if they didn't come to this bar, would the whole Springwood Town be over, and everyone would fall into hell together?

"You guys may have brought us more... The old bald man over there and I are nosy and in desperate need of more memories."

Xue Li said, he really thought so.

This tavern seems to be guiding him to fulfill the wishes of guests from all over the world, and the reward is his own memories... He really wants to know what kind of person he is?What are your relatives and friends like?

So... he might have to thank Gibb and her sisters instead.

"Another drink?" he asked.

Gibb in front of him seemed to let go of some burden, showing a relaxed expression, shook his head and refused: "No... just give Amelia a drink, I'll treat her."

She knew from Selene that in terms of blood clan relationship, the other party is her "blood master" and she is Amelia's "blood descendant"... It's just that the former blood clan elder didn't make any special demands, It didn't make her feel that there was any level difference, she thought she could just get along with Amelia according to her own understanding.

Sure enough, Amelia smiled at her, raised her wine glass with her mechanical prosthetic hand and blinked: "Gibb...I drink and eat here for free, and...speaking of which, I'm richer than you. "

Xue Li paid more attention to other issues. He asked with interest: "Why, are you going to control your drinking?"

"Yeah... I feel like my life is my own, and now I have to be responsible for myself." Gibb replied, "So I plan to quit completely... But I still want to have a drink when I walk in. After a drink I feel wrong again..."

Mike walked in with Selene just at this time, and upon hearing her words, he kindly advised: "Don't push yourself too hard. As long as you clearly realize that there is such a 'degree', it is enough to stop drinking. The amount is controlled to an appropriate level... After a while, you will naturally get used to it, and then find your most comfortable life rhythm. Or you can come to me at any time, and I will give advice, you only need to 'follow the doctor's orders' instead of Force yourself to make any decisions."

Gibb stepped forward and hugged him, patted the tall and strong doctor's arm, and said seriously: "It's not about forcing myself or anything... It's just that I thought about it carefully and decided to bid farewell to this life. All the things I thought I liked and wanted, were just illusory satisfaction...and I'm sure I don't need them anymore."

Maybe it's because I've already died once—she added inwardly.

"You decide....Give me a glass of draft beer." Mike shrugged, went to the bar and sat down, and took out a pound.

"It's really rare in our tavern to pay as well as you..." Xue Li took the banknote and looked to the side, and sure enough, she saw Selene, who was not very fluent in walking, pushing the infusion stand by herself Go to Max's table again, sit there and reach for his whiskey.

"It's rare for a tavern to do business like you, boss." Mike said, picked up his drink, turned around and gestured to the people sitting in all directions in the tavern: "... Cheers."

Under the light, even the corner of the death walker Selene's mouth seemed to reveal a smile.

Chapter 26 Finale

A few days later, Springwood Town as a whole moved to another location next to the convoy, and the three girls sat together again.

This is the first batch of residents who left the town... A few days ago, everyone was arguing with personnel from various departments and organizations, and finally waited for the FBI people to come over yesterday, and the entire town and a large area outside the town were shut down. It was designated as a control area, and an injunction was issued to order all residents to move.

And this time, even if you are not Indian and black, you have to relocate...

Needless to say, there was a lot of trouble in the town that day.Even now on the road out of the town, you can still see a large number of nervous middle-aged people arguing hysterically, blocking the entire road.

The only way to be a little quieter is to sit on the hills covered with wild grass beside the road.

Gibb pushed his baseball cap down from the harsh sunlight and said to his sisters, "I'm going to study medicine."

"Uh...you mean university, right?" Lori was a little puzzled and embarrassed, not knowing whether she should ask that question, because as far as she knew, Gibb's grades might not be able to get into any university.

All three are in Year 12 and are currently less than a year away from graduating from high school...it may be too late to start working hard...

"How do you study medicine without going to university?" Gibb rolled his eyes, "I plan to apply for a year off from school... find a tutor at home to make up all the courses from scratch, and then come back to the twelfth grade and take the exam. I need your help, Lori . . . and if the instructor doesn't agree, I'll have to apply under the name of 'psychotherapy' instead."

"My dad is not a psychiatrist... But it's okay, just leave it to me." Lori said, and then she thought about something deeper, and asked worriedly: "Do you want to study at home? Your parents' side How to say?"

"I didn't tell them, and I don't plan to study on my own in 'their home'." Gibb picked a grass from the side and chewed it in his mouth, and said with a crooked mouth: "I found a part-time job in the city, Amelia funded me with some 'pounds', which should be enough to rent a house for a year."

Lori and Kia straightened up involuntarily, and looked towards her... Both of them heard what she meant.

Gibb saw the eyes of the sisters from under the brim of his hat, sighed inwardly, and continued, "...that's another thing I want to tell you... I have to move and come back in a year You should go to college by then, so..."

So these few days are probably the last time the sisters spend together day and night.

Lori didn't know what to say, so she could only turn back at a loss, looking at the convoy speeding along the road below.

Kia was also silent for a long time before she buried her face in her hands and said in a trembling voice, "How long have we known each other? Almost ten years. My God, Gibb, this is so sudden..."

Tears welled up in Gibb's big eyes, but she shook her head immediately, suppressed the tears, opened her mouth and smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. It's just a move, not a death." ...Besides, even if I finish the 12th grade this year, we still have to separate after graduation? Lori's grades are so good, most of them are going to go to the university. So is Kia, I know you have actually got the European The admission notice from the School of Design over there..."

Kiya suddenly blushed and raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and cursed angrily, "That bastard Demalit can't hide any secrets!"

Of course, she only told her parents and younger brother about being admitted early... and the only one who would say it with a big grin was that little bastard.

Lori was also amused by these two people, grabbed their hands, and said: "... Yes, we will go our separate ways as soon as we graduate, just like all the sisters who were close in our youth, or only one of them But we can still go to that bar! Even if one is in the east and the other is in the west, or one is in the Americas and the other is in Europe, we will still walk into the same bar after opening the door... And, between us The relationship between you and me is much stronger than other people, but we have fought against Freddy and Jason together! I will never forget the experience during this period of time!"

Gibb nodded, jokingly said, "And you saved my life, even though you turned me into a vampire..."

"Speaking of which... how do you study medicine as a vampire? You don't go crazy on the operating table, do you?" Oh, dear lady, I cured your appendicitis, but unfortunately you lost half of your life due to an operation error. a liver'?"

The sisters laughed at once, and the three adolescent girls rolled into a ball on the grass laughing and fussing.After a long time, the few of them were so tired that they collapsed on the grass, panting heavily.

"Damn it, Gibb, your strength has grown too much... so you can't beat me." Kia complained, and she was about to be crushed by Gibb.

"Blood power, sisters, blood power." Gibb also replied out of breath, "...you are not bad, the owner of the bar said that if it weren't for you, we would have been taken over by Freddy."

Recalling the situation at that time, Kia was also a little frightened: "I only saw that you inhaled the red and black mist floating from Freddy's body, and then fell to the ground with a plop, and hurriedly tried to find a way to wake you up. You...but failed.

"Then I thought about it, I must go to 'that bar' to find someone, otherwise I will definitely not be able to do it myself... It just so happened that a door next to it suddenly flashed a few neon lights..."

"It sounds like this bar is pretty smart." Lori complained, "...I knew you were in a hurry to go in and immediately appeared in front of you...and you said you wanted to wake us up, so you also inhaled the red mist Did you not get pulled into the hallucination, maybe it is really like what the boss said, you are the strongest among us."

"I don't think I'm so strong..." Kia blushed again, and then asked curiously, "What did you see in the hallucination?"

What did you see?

Luo Li didn't even want to recall it, but it's a pity that such things can't be easily forgotten.What she saw was the picture of her father killing her mother. Every detail was so real that she almost couldn't tell which side was the real one... But fortunately, she still maintained her rationality and realized that she was actually I was afraid of the result of "wronging my father, actively alienating him, and eventually losing him".

Father Tom should have also been affected at the time, right?I don't know what he is most afraid of...

After thinking about it, she decided not to ask this question, and let the name of Freddy and what he had done disappear from everyone's memory.

Gibb didn't want to say anything, just smiled mysteriously.

That was the last thing she wanted to go through again, the parents had a big fight and went out separately, a four-year-old girl was locked in an empty house, spending the dark nights alone.

In Freddy's illusion, even the "boom boom" and "pop" sounds from the house itself were so real, and the swaying tree shadows outside the window were like devil's claws, slowly stretching towards her crying.Until she suddenly remembered that she was no longer human... the night is her shade, the darkness is her partner, and just a few seconds ago, an old bald man who knew she was a vampire hugged her tightly and fell to the ground , trying to use her body to block the impact of the shrapnel from the high-explosive grenade.

The people called "Father" and "Mother" did give up on her, but the half-sisters cared about her, the doctor Mike in the tavern cared about her, and even middle-aged men who hadn't met a few times were willing to sacrifice their lives Protect her... both sides are real.

The world may just not be what you want it to be, but you can always find solace in other ways.

She was no longer afraid of being alone.

"We're so lucky," she exclaims.

The sisters nodded desperately together, and of course they felt the same way.

"Okay!" Kia jumped up, patted the broken grass leaves on her body, looked at Gibb who was slowly getting up, and announced with a narrow smile: "Since you are going to apply for a suspension of school... then we have to do it in the next few days." Sticking to you, let's do the things we wanted to do but didn't dare to do together, lest we can't find you later."

"Forgive me, I'm not who I was yesterday!"

Gibb hurriedly begged for mercy, but this time Lori would not help her either. The two sisters took her arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and carried her to the side of the traffic.

After a long period of congestion, the traffic police finally came to maintain order, and the moving vehicles began to move... The opposite lane was finally requisitioned, and there was only one pick-up car with a small yacht going in the opposite direction for a few hours, I hope the owner of the car Not going on vacation to Crystal Lake.

Back in Springwood Town, Elm Street was the first street to be evacuated. The originally beautiful suburban houses were knocked down one after another, and the lawns, shrubs and flagstone sidewalks familiar to the villagers were also cleaned up as garbage by forklifts. , only two houses around No. 1428 and so were preserved as temporary residences for researchers.

One side of the asphalt road is being dug down by heavy machinery, and the target is a small cold storage 5 meters underground.Freddy and Jason, who are still soaking in the liquid nitrogen tank, will be kept there at that time, and the tissues will be extracted and analyzed in the upper-level research institutions. As the FBI's internal report said: "Unlock Jason and Freddy in one fell swoop." The Mystery of Immortality".

The chief agent of the FBI came to the scene and inspected the construction site with satisfaction.He knew that in the end this institution would have to be classified as a military unit and let the military system manage it, just like he took Freddy and Jason from the local sheriff's department; The organizations and departments involved took a big bite, and the credit for this matter could also allow him to go one step further, from middle-level to high-level, or switch to politics, become a state congressman or something.

As a well-trained manager, he certainly will not forget his subordinates.

"Congratulations, gentlemen, you have won the biggest case of the year, and you have controlled Freddy and Jason, and arranged for the entire relocation of Springwood Town. Well done! The Bureau has prepared a reward for you."

He said to his subordinates, "Now, let me go and see those two guys..."

Chapter 27 Reverberation

When he woke up from his sleep, Xue Li felt cold sweat all over his body.

He grabbed the electronic clock next to the bed and saw that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon... which meant that he had only slept for four hours.

For a person who was so crazy that he had no concept of time not long ago, he was lucky enough to fall asleep, and he would definitely think so; but today he slept very tired and uncomfortable.

Nothing else, the lost memory came back to him.Just like last time, the problems encountered by the guests of the two worlds have been solved, so he has two more memories.

"...Why are you sweating so much..."

Xue Li was talking to himself, and decided to take a bath before the evening and the guests came, and slowly sort out the newly acquired memories.

When the hot water poured over his head from the shower, he finally grasped the logic of the first memory, allowing the fragments of the memory to emerge clearly.

It was a night.

The sound of cars on the street filled his eardrums. He sat on the bus, observed everyone in the car, and kept repeating to his own thoughts: "This person is holding a sports bottle in his hand, wearing running shoes and tights. , there are sweat stains on my back, I just came home by car after a night run."

"This person looks tired, his eyes are dull, and his schoolbag is held on his chest. Judging from the thickness and weight, it should be a laptop; he just finished working overtime in the company."

"The two girls have been chatting excitedly in low voices, and they are still looking at each other's photos on their mobile phones; a corner of their bags shows an LED light sign, which seems to be on the way home after the concert."

"This aunt came back from shopping at the night market."

"The boy went to an Internet cafe with his friends."

"This man... this man is a little nervous, and he keeps looking at the crowd on the bus like me. He keeps his head down so that people don't want to see his eyes wandering, but in fact he only needs to wear a hat with a brim or a pair of glasses. Glasses can do it... His right hand was always in his pocket, and he didn't take it out even if he was staggered by other people."

"This is the person I'm looking for!"

The memory ends here, and the neon arc light outside the car window gradually dims and disappears.

After digesting this memory, Xue Li only had one question like everyone else: Master, what do you do for work?

Good guy, the last paragraph was still a marketing account, and the next paragraph suddenly changed to a spy link, right?Could it be that marketing accounts are spies? ...Eh, wait...

He shook his head hastily, pushing the inappropriate thought out of his mind... what matters now is the next memory.I hope there will be no more such pointless clips, I really beg... But thinking about what he has done, he feels that he has no position to say such things.

The second memory begins early in the morning.

He was packing things in a small room, thinking about what to keep and what to throw away.

For some reason, he had a special aversion to some accessories that looked pretty good, so he didn't pack them at all.The things in the house were picked and picked, and in the end there were only a box of clothes, a box of shoes, a box of computers, stationery and other sundries.

The door at the back suddenly rang, and a crying girl's voice asked, "What are you doing, what are you doing?"

Just hearing this voice, his blood pressure started to rise in memory, but he didn't say another word, just pushed the box out of the door with a cold face, and didn't even look back at the girl.

The girl rushed out and grabbed his hand, crying, "Xue Li, you're sick, right? What's wrong with me? Why don't you talk to me! Talk to me!"

He remained silent, pursed his lips tightly, shook off the girl's hand with a little force, and walked into the elevator pushing the box.

He didn't see the girl's face until the elevator doors closed.She cried so much that her makeup was all over her face, she couldn't see her eyes clearly, her hands were trembling, her head was lowered, and big tears ran across the side of her cheeks and fell on the cold floor.

"I hate you," she said.

The elevator door closed, and an expressionless face was reflected on the mirror-smooth door panel.

The world collapsed in the next second, turning into a warm stream of water hitting his face.

Xue Li wiped his face, lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry."

Girl, I was too young at that time... Of course it is not right to use this way of hurting others as an outlet for emotions, and to get a little pleasure from the pain of both parties.

But think about it, would it be more cruel to extend this period of time infinitely through dialogue and quarrels?

Although he didn't know the reason and couldn't remember what happened, Xue Li felt that the impression was deep enough, so deep that he lost his memory when he watched this record like an outsider, he still felt a twitch in his heart.

"Oh, Gusheng!" He sighed, but then began to talk to himself: "Wait, what does Zhusheng mean? Doomed to be alone? How do I know this?"

Let's find something to drink, he really wants to drink now.

Xue Li, who dried himself off, changed his clothes and walked out of the staff corridor, was immediately shocked by the sight in front of him.

Including Amelia, who begs for nothing and insists on staying here, everyone is gathered around the bar. Everyone seems to be discussing something, and there is no panic on their expressions. It should not be a fire or the wine cabinet is down.

"What happened?"

He hurried forward a few steps and asked everyone.

"...Look for yourself." Max pointed to the other side of the bar, where there was only a wall, but now there is a large space; from the aluminum alloy door panel and the small window next to it, it is probably kitchen.

"Finally... Isn't that the kitchen!"

[20. No. 20]

Xue Li was overjoyed, and hurried over to push open the door.

He hadn't seen it just now, but in addition to the dining window on the side of the door, there was a window on the other side of the kitchen door leading directly to the back of the bar.In order to prevent the fireworks from reaching the guest seats, the stove and operating table are set on the other side, and a chef in a small kitchen will be almost full.

The whole kitchen is still in an unused state, and now it is extremely clean. Seasonings and spices from various countries are neatly placed in the top cabinet, and several kinds of food oils are also kept in bottles, which looks so warm .
