Chapter 19 The Bartender and the Soul-Taking Talisman

Although the bar business is just a cover, the 'bartender' Kooncho has been trying his best to do his part-time job well.
He is usually very patient and will try his best to satisfy the normal demands of normal customers. He will occasionally chat with them about life, the future of the fortress, and the bad shape of body organs after disease.
——Although he doesn’t have many customers at all on weekdays.
Of course, sometimes some drunkards whose brains have been anesthetized by alcohol will come in by mistake. If the drunkards yell at Koon Town without politeness, then Koon Town won't mind and will add more money to his main business.
A little reserve of materials.
Kooncho's ranking in the Black Fire Gang is not too high. During every year-end summary meeting, he can only sit in seats numbered 24 and 25.
But Koonmachi has been working hard for the Black Fire Gang and the predecessor gang of the Black Fire Gang in the past thirty-five years. He has long been a senior figure of the Black Fire Gang, and he is one of the rare ones. He only needs to endure a little longer.
A member of the downtown gang who will retire at the age of sixty in a few years and go to Midtown to enjoy a peaceful old age.
Therefore, Koon-machi is mild-tempered most of the time. Over time, Koon-machi himself will have an illusion...
It's like he's really a bartender.
The last time he touched a gun was seven or eight years ago. At that time, the 49th floor was in chaos. A new gang, with the support of some officials in the upper city, attempted to challenge the dominance of the Black Fire Gang in the field of 'organ trade'.
status, he also encountered attacks here.
The result of that fight was obvious: they won a stable life for seven or eight years.
The gang has been a little restless recently.
Dazuihua died unexpectedly on the thirteenth floor. Something went wrong when he went to kidnap a female doctor.
Sufficient medical resources are the Black Fire Gang's greatest strength. There are hundreds of medical workers working for the Black Fire Gang. They are wearing bomb shackles and will have one of their legs blown off as long as they leave a specific area.
——Even if an entire leg is blown off, this doctor can continue to play his role.
To put it simply, kidnapping doctors, training doctors, and controlling doctors are safeguarding the core interests of the Black Fire Gang.
Their BOSS keeps sending people to get rid of the doctor and the doctor's assistant. Guwen Town can understand. If it were him, he would do the same thing. He must ensure that the core interests of the Black Fire Gang are not damaged.
But what Koon Town couldn't understand was why the BOSS suddenly sent Nighthawk to the 46th floor to ambush the security captain.
This may have been an order from the upper city.
According to rumors from the gang management, the captain named Zhou Zhengde is the son of the fortress's interior minister. Zhou Zhengde was previously transferred to the Central City as a security captain because he strongly opposed the human experiments of the Thirteenth Institute of Biology.
'The young man from the upper city.'
Kooncho couldn't help but complain in his heart:
'Once involved in this kind of struggle on the fortress, or even involving interests in the war zone, the Black Fire Gang will soon be crushed.'
'Hey, these bastards, why can't you let me retire properly?'
'The BOSS is too obedient to the Thirteenth House...'
Thinking of this, Kooncho felt a little irritable, but suddenly heard a young male voice next to his ear.
"I want a pot of Biluochun."
Koonmachi stopped wiping the goblet, showed a gentle smile habitually, and looked up at the man in front of him.
Kooncho was startled for a moment.
He has also read countless people, although most of the time, what he sees is a kind of dull eyes after being anesthetized by drugs.
But the young man in front of him... these calm, bright, and slightly alienated eyes left a deep impression on Koon Town.
'This is a young man with a story.'
'but……'
"What is Biluochun?" Ko Onmachi asked with a smile.
Wang Jixuan replied calmly: "A kind of tea."
"Tea?"
Koonmachi put down the goblet and the gauze used as a rag, and straightened his tie with his white-gloved palms.
"I do have tea here. It can even be said that there are only four or five places in the entire fortress that have tea. Apart from my place, other teas have to be found in the upper city.
"But how do you know this? Young man."
Their conversation attracted the attention of several Black Fire Gang thugs.
Wang Jixuan's hands were naturally placed on the edge of the counter, so that the thugs and Guwen Town did not notice any danger.
Wang Jixuan took advantage of the situation and said, "I heard someone talk about this."
"Oh?" Koonmachi smiled, "Young man, you seem to know exactly where this place is."
"The territory of the Blackfire Gang."
Wang Jixuan said calmly:
"There is a huge cold storage under the tavern, which is also one of the core assets of the Black Fire Gang... This is an almost open secret on the 49th floor. Too many people have seen you transport people here."
There was the sound of bullets being loaded from the side.
In three corners of the tavern, behind the railing on the second floor, a total of seven men looked here at the same time, and several of them stopped and puffed away.
Koonmachi asked: "What about you? Who are you? Are you here to trouble us?"
"I'm here to negotiate."
Wang Jixuan used a little bit of military tactics and continued:
"I was sent over by a security captain from Central City to talk to the boss of your Black Fire Gang. I think you already know some things. The Black Fire Gang's time is running out."
Koonmachi's expression became extremely solemn.
Although two-thirds of the area on the 49th floor is controlled by the other two gangs, they have absolute dominance in the Black Fire Gang's own territory.
More than 6,000 humans and more than 40,000 material entities live here, forming a hierarchical town.
Only no more than thirty people here know what the young man in front of me said.
"I think I should contact my BOSS first."
Koonmachi held the edge of the counter with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile:
"But before I contact my BOSS, you need to answer me a few questions, your name, your specific identity, the name and power of the boss behind you, and his position in the power.
"This is our territory, even if the fortress consul comes, he still needs to abide by the rules here.
"Now, answer me, what is your name? Young man."
Koonmachi deliberately narrowed his eyes.
He, who had been looking up at the entire fortress from a dark corner all year round, was now like a poisonous snake exuding a cold aura.
——This is how he feels.
"Is he Mu Liang?"
A slightly surprised shout suddenly came from behind the railing on the second floor. A man wearing a top hat held the terminal panel in front of him and let out a light sigh:
"The database shows that he is a technician...the midtown technician who was issued a kill order by the boss before! Mu Liang! That's him!"
Koonmachi's eyes narrowed, and he remembered that such a message had popped up on his text exchange machine that was only equipped by the management of the Black Fire Gang.
[04: The man who killed Nighthawk is called Mu Liang, and he is suspected of being a psychic. The above is already investigating, and all information related to this guy has been blocked. Some information about him can be found in the database that has not been updated yet. He seems to be an ordinary person.
mechanics.]
The headless body of Nighthawk flashed before Kooncho's eyes.
The word psyker was like a curse, causing his face to turn pale instantly, and a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead...
The atmosphere in the tavern became a little strange.
The young man who came to visit sat on a high chair and stared at the bartender in front of him with a smile;
The old bartender's slightly loose skin was trembling slightly as he stared into the young man's eyes.
In the corner, several strong men wearing dark green sweatshirts stretched their right hands into their arms simultaneously;
On the second floor, there were two Black Fire Gang members wearing suits and top hats, silently picking up shotguns and tranquilizer guns...
Koon Town suddenly bowed his head!
He's going to grab the pistol taped under the counter!
Almost as soon as Koon Town made a move, he felt his eyes flash. More than a dozen long pink paper charms unfolded almost instantly, and the young man in front of him suddenly rushed forward and grabbed his collar!
Bang! Bang bang!
Several people on the side opened fire decisively!
Kooncho couldn't believe what he saw:
Those paper symbols actually flashed with dazzling golden light in an instant. The golden lights connected together and overlapped each other, forming a thin golden shield wall. The incoming pistol bullets were bounced away and twisted!
The young man who grabbed him by the collar had already used the force of pulling him to fly up the second before the golden light erupted, throwing him behind the counter.
The back of Kowamachi's head hit the stone floor hard, and he felt dizzy.
And in his sight, a young man named Mu Liang scurried forward, his dodge movements smooth and fluid, and his hands continuously swung as fast as phantoms!
Streams of black light shot out!
The gunfire in the tavern suddenly stopped.
Kooncho didn't know what happened outside, but he heard the dull sound of someone falling from the second floor.
Got killed?
All his men here were killed?
Wang Jixuan stood up with his kneeling figure, and the dozen talismans pressed into his palm were pushed back into his sleeves with his fingers.
Compared to the metal darts he threw with [Qi], the bullets were indeed faster.
But it doesn't matter. Wang Jixuan has already figured out a way to withstand ordinary pistol bullets. He only needs to use a dozen diamond talismans at the same time to achieve "comprehensive protection" for three to four seconds.
Wang Jixuan looked down at the bartender Guwen Ding and asked with a smile:
"Where's your tea?"
"You can't threaten me, young man," Koonmachi's breath was trembling slightly, "you can kill me, I have already had enough life, this is the truth, you don't need to hear any valuable information from my mouth!
They'll be here in a minute!"
Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
In his perception, there was a huge cavity under his feet, and there were some mottled and weak breaths underneath.
Interrogation is the troublesome thing he is least good at.
This tavern is located in the northwest corner of the Black Fire Gang's territory and is an important warehouse behind the Black Fire Gang.
Wang Jixuan must make a quick decision. Before the members of the Black Fire Gang in the cold storage below discover that there is something wrong with the tavern, he must get the information he wants most from the old man's mouth.
"Pindao actually wants to persuade people to do good."
Wang Jixuan reached into the inner pocket of his jacket with his right hand, took out a blank piece of talisman paper, bit the tip of his index finger, forced out wisps of air, and quickly drew complex talismans on the talisman paper.
"But at least, the target of the poor Taoist advice must be an individual first."
Wang Jixuan raised his sword fingers with his right hand, pressed the bloody talisman paper downwards, and hit Guwen Town's forehead with force.
Soul-catching!
Chapter completed!
