Alice's Dream Club

"Bartender? This guest, what are you talking about?"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Ran's spirit suddenly appeared in a trance. He thought that this might be the aftereffect of punching himself just now, but at the same time this thought came to him, he was shocked to find that the bartender, Even the bar and wine racks were gone.

Not to mention the person who stopped him just now.

At this time, I was sitting on a comfortable armchair, and in front of me was a young woman I had never seen before.

The woman subtly gave him a sense of deja vu, but Xu Ran couldn't figure out why this familiar feeling came from.

Shaking his head vigorously, Xu Ran looked at the woman in front of him again.

That is not some peerless beauty who is charming, coquettish and alluring. This woman's appearance can even be said to be very popular. This kind of ordinary feeling can be seen everywhere on the street.

She leaned on the back of the chair and tapped Erlang's legs, and there was a small table in front of her legs.

"So, guest, can you now tell me what you desire."

The woman's voice was very flat, flat and even a little cold. This kind of voice, like a cold wind blowing, completely woke Xu Ran up.

Looking around in some surprise, he asked softly, "This is me..."

"Welcome to Alice's Dream Club, may I ask the guest, are you ready to call for the chips you desire?"

Hearing this name, Xu Ran was relieved in addition to being surprised.

He continued to ask: "Then I just... No, just did something happen to me just now?"

Shaking her head, the woman replied in a calm tone: "Guest, you have been silent for a while now after you sat down. If you are not in a good spirit, the club hopes that you can keep a clear head, which will facilitate your thinking and follow-up." transaction."

The word "transaction" awakened Xu Ran again. He didn't feel any pain on the bridge of his nose or his hands. He looked at his right hand and found no signs of punching. In such a situation, it seemed that everything just now was just a dream.

After a short silence, Xu Ran suppressed all kinds of confusion in his heart, and finally focused on the woman in front of him.

"Here... it's true that what I expected can be achieved."

"Although it can be roughly understood in this way, we still need to correct it here in the club," the woman changed her posture, "it is to 'achieve what the guests desire most in your heart'."

After correcting Xu Ran's cognition, the woman asked again: "So, customer, have you thought about the chip you want to pay? This chip must be the most cherished existence of the guest, if it is not the most cherished thing, the transaction will not be completed of."

"The most cherished thing..."

After learning the details, Xu Ran began to think seriously.

Xu Ran's favorite thing is money, of course, but now he has no money, and he came here because he was forced to have nowhere to go.

Normally, Xu Ran could slowly count out some referring nouns as he thought about it, but when asked suddenly, he obviously didn't know what to come up with for the transaction. The other party's repeated "urging" told me that if I don't make up my mind as soon as possible, then this opportunity will slip through my fingers, maybe I took it out? It can't be my own life.

It is precisely because I want to live that I came here, and let myself exchange my life for my life. Doesn't this mean that I am farting!

After tossing and turning, he still didn't think of a suitable "existence". Under the gaze of that woman, Xu Ran felt even more painful.

What should...

right! I cherish this very much, but I often feel that it is in the way when I am "working"!

Suddenly clapping his fists, Xu Ran's eyes finally had firm determination.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Ran nodded to the woman in charge of the transaction: "I've made up my mind."

The moment his voice fell, a parchment scroll suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The parchment scroll was filled with words he could not understand, but even so, his mind still began to reverberate what he paid for. The contents of the chips come out.

"Then, please state your desire."

"Finish that deal and get rid of that family completely."

When he finished talking about what he wanted to trade, new words appeared on the parchment, and those words echoed in his mind, telling Xu Ran what a "chip" was and what a "demand" was—— I can't bear to condemn my conscience after deceiving others, in exchange for the ability to successfully complete that transaction.

Xu Ran naturally knew that this was only half of what he wanted, but he didn't need to ask, the contract had already given him the answer as soon as it echoed in his mind: equivalent exchange, one can only be exchanged for one forever.

Seeing that the content of the contract was filled in completely, Xu Ran didn't ask any more questions, and the woman said: "Then, the club will evaluate you in a short time. If the evaluation passes, you can choose to let the club notify you to come to the club again, or Or choose to automatically complete the contract, you can rest assured that the evaluation time will not take too long, and the club will notify you as soon as possible."

"Not too long, but how long." Xu Ran frowned.

What he lacks most now is time. The deadline given to him by the other party is coming to an end, and he really can't find any more excuses for delaying.

"Maybe a few days, or maybe just a moment, it depends on the authenticity of the chips you provide."

"Then can I..."

"Guest, please abide by the rules of the club when you come to trade. You can void the contract and leave now. The club will not do anything to stop you."

"snort."

Being so tough as a seller, it's no wonder that everyone in this broken place keeps silent.

Glaring at the woman, Xu Ran got up and left the place where he had hoped.

When the gate was closed, it immediately put down the shelf of business, and immediately slumped on the stool like a dead fish.

Alice, who did not know when she appeared, was debating whether to be pulled up by Lynch, or to smash the back of the antique seat with an axe. There was only one purpose, to massage her master conveniently to relieve his fatigue.

Of course, Lynch sat up by himself in the end, and finally successfully performed his duties, and Alice's stiff face gradually returned to normal.

"To ask why I cured him and concealed the fact that he offended me?"

Alice gave a soft "hmm".

"Then I said I'm free, will you..."

Click it.

Glancing at his probably crushed collarbone, Lynch took a deep breath for a long time before confessing honestly: "I just want to try a new ability."

As he said that, his collarbone, which was crushed and held up his clothes, returned to normal under the faint light, including the blood stains from Yin, which faded away completely.

"Before I couldn't die, I wondered if this healing ability could be manifested and used as a treatment method. After the man hammered himself, I had the idea of ​​​​testing, and of course this."

Following its voice, the disappearing bar and wine rack combination came back into view. Not only did the bar wine rack return to its original state, but a bartender who was wiping wine glasses and nodding to the two appeared behind the bar .

With a soft sound, the bartender slowly disappeared into the air, and the one that was wiped flew back to its proper position.

"After I came back, I felt that my control over the club has improved a little bit." After thinking for a while, Lynch turned over and looked up at Alice, "Hey, Alice, do you think our family is because I always go out to run errands, so we are Did she suddenly give me these benefits in order to let me stay at home longer? "

"...Alice?" Alice tilted her head subtly.

"Tsk, that's a nickname."

With a slight sigh, Alice abruptly raised her hands and grabbed two locks of hair.

"Then should I dye it gold?"

At that time, Lynch was amazed by the breadth of Alice's knowledge!

Can you believe that this girl who looks like a doll actually knows that there is such a character?

"How many movies have you seen?"

"Full set."

Lynch: "..."

Letting down her hair, Alice massaged Lynch again: "What the master said just now is nonsense. The club does not have the kind of personality that is as precise as a real person. Please use rigorous scientific dialectical thinking to look at things in the future."

"No, you're telling me about science where even luck is sold?"

"Of course," Alice chuckled, "just treat it as an unlocking of permissions. Upgrading always unlocks new powers. By the way, how is the progress of the blood race? Should I evaluate that guest?"

"The blood race surprised me quite a bit. The Hermes they know will probably come over by themselves after a while. As for the evaluation... there's no need for it."

"Doesn't the master want to do business with this guest who betrayed his conscience?"

"To be honest, I really don't want his conscience," Lynch shook his head, turned over and leaned half of his body into Alice's arms, "But what I mean by saying no evaluation is that you can notify him tomorrow. If he comes to sign, the business still needs to be done, after all, the business is a bit complicated.”

This should be the first time that Lynch leaned so closely in his arms. Even before, Lynch showed a subtle guard against himself.

Alice considered that this guard might stem from the PTSD of the experience at that time, but after thinking about it several times, it seemed that the emotions of "revenge" or "resistance" were not quite right.

Now that Lynch can do this, Alice's confusion is even heavier.

But she didn't ask anything, and it's fine now.

Maintaining this state and enjoying in silence for a moment, Lynch finally interrupted.

"By the way, have you really watched the entire episode?"

"Well, I bought BD."

Lynch: "..."
