C21 The Horror of It All
Ling Chen was speechless.
If not for his quick reaction, he would have been tricked by the system.
The real use of the talisman was very simple. After putting the talisman on his head, it would merge into the user's brain in three seconds. At that time, the user only needed to recall the appearance of the person they were looking for in their mind, and the talisman would then tell the user where the person was.
No matter what age the person was, as long as the user recalled the person they were looking for, they would be able to find the person. Therefore, the user had to carefully recall the person they were looking for.
Seeing this, Ling Chen immediately started to operate the talisman. After the talisman merged into his brain, he immediately recalled Wen Lan, the friend of the orphanage that he had lost contact with for many years.
After a while, a bright light flashed in his eyes.
"Xihong District 2, Street 2, Street 2, Bar AS."
After knowing where Wen Lan was, Ling Chen's breathing quickened. He quickly changed his clothes, picked up his phone and wallet, and walked out of the bedroom.
He wanted to ask Fu Miaozhu to drive him to the AS Bar, but thinking about what had happened just now, he decided not to disturb her.
Therefore, he secretly asked Uncle Fu to get the key to a BMW X7 and drove to the AS Bar.
Since he did not know the way, Ling Chen had to rely on the GPS to drive. It took him half an hour to find the AS Bar.
As soon as he entered the bar, a strong drum beat immediately resounded in his ears. The air was filled with the smell of alcohol and hormones, and the air was filled with shouts and screams. The atmosphere was filled with decadence.
Looking over, there were noisy crowds, seductive women, and young and crazy men. Even in the corner of the bar, there were cups of wine colliding and uncontrollable laughter. The brilliant lights illuminated the wine glasses filled with Lafite, and the ambiguous colors of the drinks corroded the hearts of all kinds of people.
No matter which city it was, the bar had always been a treasure ground for men and women to release their hormones, attracting the thirsty and comforting hearts of people.
Only the red and green wine, the noisy and ear-splitting music, the crazy dances, and the darkness could make the people forget the pressure they were facing in reality, forget the things they had remembered deeply, and forget the pain they had left in their hearts.
Ling Chen had followed his roommate, Miao Xiuyuan, to the bar a few times during his time in college, so he was considered an experienced person.
He squeezed through the crowd and walked straight to the bar counter, which was also the bar service center.
At this moment, there were two waiters standing at the bar counter, a man and a woman. Their looks were not bad.
"Welcome to AS Bar. May I ask what you need?" Seeing Ling Chen come over, the female waiter asked with a professional smile.
Ling Chen went straight to the point. "I'm here to find someone. Her name is Wen Lan. Can you help me check her name?"
The waitress was stunned. The waiter beside her frowned even more.
He had been working here for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen someone asking the waitress to do something without paying.
To remind Ling Chen, the waiter made a gesture to count the money and indicated that he would only do things if he paid.
"Oh, I understand." Ling Chen nodded and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I didn't know you were mute."
Ding! The waiter, Lyi Xunxun, had gained 40 Aggro!
"Do you think I'm a mute?" The waiter's forehead was full of black lines.
"Sorry, I saw your hand swaying around just now. I thought you couldn't speak, so you used your hand language to communicate with me." Ling Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "It seems that I misunderstood. You should have ADHD."
"…"
Ding! The waiter, Li Xunxun, had gained 50 Aggro!
The waitress at the side almost laughed out loud when she heard this.
"Sir, he wants you to pay for the service. As the saying goes, there is a reward for every effort."
"I see." Ling Chen suddenly understood and asked, "How much?"
Lyi Xunxun asked back, "How much can you pay?"
"I'll pay as much as you want!"
"Are you kidding me?" Lyi Xunxun sneered and said bluntly, "If I want one million, can you give it to me?"
"Yes, but one million is beyond the daily limit of the bank transfer. I need to go to the bank counter to withdraw it." Ling Chen's expression was calm as he slowly said, "One million can be given to you, but you have to help me find someone."
"Are you still pretending to be cool? Did you drink too much today and not eat anything?" Lyi Xunxun revealed a look as if he was looking at a lunatic, and he looked at him with disdain.
"If you haven't taken your medicine, hurry up and go back. Don't disturb my business. With your appearance, you can only take one million, right?"
"There's a night bank nearby. If you have some skills, you can go there and rob one million."
Ling Chen looked deeply at Lyi Xunxun, turned around, and walked out of the bar.
"Boss told us to be polite to people, but you are so rude. What if someone complains about you?" Looking at Ling Chen's back, the waitress glared at Lyi Xunxun and scolded him.
"There's no other way. That kid is too pretentious. He's simply a lunatic." Lyi Xunxun spread his hands and said helplessly, "This kind of person doesn't have a good brain. If he stays in the bar, he might cause trouble. If he is beaten to death, our bar will have to take responsibility. It's not worth it."
The waitress opened her mouth but did not say anything.
She was just a waitress, so she couldn't care less. As long as it didn't violate her interests, Lyi Xunxun could do whatever he wanted. It had nothing to do with her.
On the other side, after Ling Chen left the AS Bar, he found the night shift bank that the male waiter, Lyi Xunxun, had mentioned.
Most banks would close at half past five in the afternoon, and would not be open at night. However, the night shift bank was the opposite. It would only be open at night.
However, if one wanted to do business here, they would need to pay a certain amount of service fees. The minimum was a thousand, and the maximum was tens of thousands.
"Hello sir, may I ask what kind of business do you need?"
In the hall, there was a woman dressed in a black business suit.
She was wearing light makeup and had a bright smile on her face.
Although she was smiling, Ling Chen could clearly feel a hint of disdain in her eyes.
It was as if she didn't belong to the customer.
"Hello sir, please give me some money."
The woman's smile faded a bit. "Sir, our night shift bank has a withdrawal rule. The amount has to be at least a hundred thousand."
"Hmm, give me a million."
"A million?" When the woman heard this, she almost laughed out loud.
The eyes of this profession were sharp. They could tell whether the customer was rich or poor with a single glance.
Ling Chen was at his age, and his clothes and temperament were at most an ordinary office worker. Being able to get a salary of tens of thousands was already considered excellent.
As for the one million yuan...
She was just thinking about how much she could eat!
If it wasn't for her professionalism, she probably wouldn't even bother with Ling Chen.
The bank was receiving a big customer, not a country bumpkin who had sneaked in to open his eyes.
"Can't you get one million yuan?" Ling Chen frowned.
"One million yuan is enough for a big customer. As for you, it's a bit of a fantasy." The woman smiled faintly, and then said, "Young people should stop daydreaming. It's better to be realistic. Also, don't play with the truth. This place is not somewhere you can come. Listen to me and quickly go back. There are all kinds of things in the dream."
As she spoke, she was about to get the security guards to kick Ling Chen out.
At this moment, a couple walked in. They were dressed in extremely luxurious clothes, and it was obvious that they were rich.
"Oh my god, isn't this Mrs. Zheng and Mr. Zheng? No wonder I heard the lovebirds calling out so early in the morning!" When the woman saw the two of them, her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. She enthusiastically went forward to welcome them.
"Hahaha, Yan is still so good at talking." Mr. Zheng laughed loudly and lit up a cigarette in front of him. He took a puff and said, "Are you free? I want to transfer a sum of money!"
"Mr. Zheng, you are too polite. Since you are here, even if I don't have time, I still have time!" Du Qiyan smiled in annoyance.
Mrs. Zheng looked at Ling Chen and asked Du Qiyan, "Is this your customer?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. This guy just came to see the world, how could he be compared to Mrs. Zheng and Mr. Zheng?"
"I thought that your bank had started to receive low-class customers recently." Mrs. Zheng looked at Ling Chen and walked to the side, maintaining a distance from him.
It was as if standing next to Ling Chen would make her lose her status.
"Since this is an unrelated person, let's get rid of him. Breathing in such a poor air makes me feel uncomfortable."
"Okay, Mrs. Zheng." Du Qiyan nodded her head and said impatiently to Ling Chen, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and leave, don't disturb Mrs. Zheng's mood!"
Ling Chen did not move, but shook his head and laughed.
"These days, people have started to recognize Erlang Shen as their master, huh?"
Du Qiyan's face instantly darkened.
The one who recognized Erlang Shen as their master was the Howling Celestial Dog. Was Ling Chen comparing her to a dog?
Mrs. Zheng seemed to have understood the meaning of his words, and her face instantly turned green and white.
"Yan, you know that I hate to be in the same area with low-class people the most. I'll give you one minute to sweep this trash out of the bank. Otherwise, I will never step into your bank again. Don't expect me to come and discuss business with you."
Du Qiyan's heart skipped a beat.
Because the bank was catering to the upper class, the daily flow of customers was not high. If two of their VIPs were to die, her monthly income would drop drastically, and she might even be reprimanded by the manager.
"Mrs. Zheng, calm down. I'll get someone to do it right away!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly went to the security room to call the security guards.
Mrs. Zheng glanced at Ling Chen and snorted coldly, "What kind of thing is this? You don't even know your own status. There are more and more lunatics in this month."
"Yeah, even dogs can speak human language now. How scary." Ling Chen nodded slightly.
Mrs. Zheng glared at him angrily, "You... who are you calling a dog?!"
"It's far away, but it's right in front of me."
Ding! Hate from the asset tycoon Tang Bu Yu increased by 100!
