Chapter 91 Don't Let Me Know Where Your Car Is Parked (5K)
Shen Cheng stayed at home for three days.
Apart from the fact that his blood reserves were exhausted and he had to go out to purchase more, he had not stepped out of the house for the past three days. This was the first time he had stayed at home for so long since he traveled through time.
Every day I just eat, sleep, play games and do nothing.
As an explorer, he feels like ants are crawling all over his body when he has nothing to do.
During these three days, the Tailing Municipal Government has also announced the collapse of the Public Security Bureau building, but the reason is hilarious.
The announcement said that the building, which had been built a few years ago, was of substandard quality and was a shoddy construction, which was why it suddenly collapsed at night, killing some demon hunters who did not have time to leave.
The government has now arrested the developer who was responsible for building the building.
This reason was unanimously ridiculed by netizens, and all kinds of insider gossip were still flying around.
But Shen Cheng fully understood why the Tailing Municipal Government issued such an announcement.
Because the internal strife among the Demon Hunters must never be made public, because it is an internal scandal, and once the reason for the internal strife is dug out, the matter of the demon serum will be exposed.
If ordinary people knew that high-ranking officials and politicians were secretly turning into demons, wouldn't public opinion explode? I'm afraid the legitimacy of the ruling party would be questioned.
We cannot say that the Public Security Bureau was attacked by demons either, as this would undermine the prestige of the government and demon hunters, and might even cause panic in Tailing City.
The demons are so arrogant that they even dare to destroy the Public Security Bureau. Aren’t we ordinary people even more of a pushover?
There was once a lesson that a city failed to handle the public opinion crisis during a demon incident, resulting in a large number of citizens fleeing.
We can’t say this or that, so in the end we can only let the developer down.
Who made you build a building that can't even withstand a few people fighting inside, and you still say it's not a shoddy construction?
Three days later, Shen Cheng had received the mobile phone and pinhole camera he purchased online, and also got a new phone card.
During this period, Ruan Qingsha also called him to tell him that the matter with the Public Security Bureau was over, but he had already been listed within the government, so it would be best for him not to cause trouble in the near future.
Shen Cheng was not worried about being remembered.
The highest level of martial arts in Tailing City is the extraordinary level, and Shen Cheng has already reached the top of this pyramid.
Even ordinary extraordinary people may not be his match.
Apart from Xiao Qingque's weakness, he could now walk sideways in Tailing City, but at least he could see the road with his nostrils.
So when he heard that the matter was over, Shen Cheng immediately couldn't wait to go out, ready to fulfill Yu Yuanqi's last wish and find the mysterious memory messenger.
He installed a pinhole camera on the motorcycle and connected it to the Internet hotspot of his mobile phone so that the camera was always on.
If the car thief dares to show up again, the camera will definitely capture his face.
Then comes the justice that comes to seek revenge, and the equality of all living beings that is torn into pieces.
Driving a modified motorcycle, Shen Cheng shuttled through the city of Tailing and soon stopped in front of a hotel.
Based on the memory images left by the demon's corpse, he screened all the hotels in the city at home these days, and finally found this building that was exactly the same as the one in his memory.
Triumph Hotel.
He locked his car at the door, entered the hotel, ignored the greeting from the front desk, and went straight to the elevator.
There were three elevators in total. He chose the one in the middle, pressed the door open button and walked in.
The elevator was exactly the same as in his memory. Shen Cheng looked at the number keys and reached out to press the four numbers 4973.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
Suddenly there was a shout outside, and when the elevator door was about to close, a girl in a hurry squeezed in from outside.
She was slightly startled when she saw Shen Cheng's face, and apologized softly: "I'm sorry."
Shen Cheng was not angry about being disturbed. Instead, he was curious. If he was alone with a stranger, could he successfully meet the mysterious memory messenger?
Just as the girl reached out her hand to press the number key, Shen Cheng raised his hand to stop her: "Don't press it, follow me."
The girl looked at him blankly, not knowing what she was thinking. She blushed and lowered her head, saying "oh" softly.
Shen Cheng didn't expect it to be so smooth. He had already prepared for hypnosis, but he didn't expect that he only needed to scan his face.
It seems that after mastering the true form of a vampire, the charm of appearance has been greatly enhanced.
If this were an ugly man, he might end up in jail.
The elevator started moving quickly. Shen Cheng stared at the number keys and the girl stared at his profile.
However, the upside-down situation that I remembered did not happen, and the elevator stopped normally.
It seems that there is no way to reach the mysterious bar with strangers.
Shen Cheng turned to the girl who had been staring at him and said, "Let's go."
The girl walked out of the elevator with her head down.
These are all guest rooms. She has been here before and could occasionally hear the suppressed screams of women coming from the guest rooms.
Should I put up a symbolic resistance later? Wouldn't that seem too casual?
The girl's heart was pounding, and she subconsciously looked back, only to see that there was no one behind her and only the closed elevator door.
"?"
Shen Cheng took the elevator back to the first floor, walked out and put it back down, following the same process again.
This time he was alone, but the elevator still went smoothly and the situation he remembered did not occur.
The elevator door opened and the girl waiting outside showed a surprised expression.
She felt ashamed for misunderstanding Shen Cheng.
He definitely didn't abandon me, but went out to buy a small umbrella.
Shen Cheng's eyes lit up red. He asked the girl who came in to turn around and walk out, then pressed the door closing button.
Is it because I opened it the wrong way?
Shen Cheng tried again, and some people who wanted to take the elevator were driven away by him using hypnosis.
In the hotel's monitoring room, two staff members were watching Shen Cheng on the screen having a lot of fun going up and down.
"Do you want to stop him?"
"Forget it. There have been a lot of psychopaths lately. Let him have fun to his heart's content."
In the elevator, Shen Cheng frowned, thinking about what was wrong.
There is only one Triumph Hotel in Tailing City, and the elevator in the middle was chosen, so the location was no problem. The entire process completely replicated the actions in memory, without any unnecessary movements, so the actions were no problem.
The timing was exactly as I remembered, so there was no problem with the time.
Is the date wrong?
Or is it the wrong person?
Shen Cheng guessed a possibility - maybe only some specific people can see the Memory Messenger?
I thought this was a very simple task, but I got stuck at the first step.
Shen Cheng was not discouraged. He reached out and pressed the button for the first floor, ready to try again another day.
The elevator quickly reached the first floor and then opened, but what appeared in front of us was not the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, but a retro-style bar.
Shen Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
This time he didn't follow the method he remembered, he just pressed it casually. Why could he find it now?
Does this hook eight still depend on luck?
Or maybe, everyone has a different way of finding a bar, so he may not succeed even if he follows the same method.
After adjusting his mindset, Shen Cheng stepped out of the elevator and entered the bar.
The bar is not big, and its decoration style is elegant yet retro. There is no one inside, and the mysterious woman was not here last time.
Shen Cheng wanted to find someone, so he walked around the bar, but found that there was no road leading to other places.
Jingle Bell!
At this moment, the wind chimes hanging in the air suddenly rang.
Shen Cheng looked up and suddenly realized something, then turned his head sharply to look at the bar counter.
A uniformed bartender appeared at the bar.
There was no one here a second ago.
Shen Cheng was surprised because he didn't notice when the bartender appeared.
The bartender had a very ordinary face, seemingly without any features, and could not leave any deep impression on people.
In Shen Cheng's now keen perception, this bartender has steady breathing and body temperature, just like an ordinary person.
The bartender was wiping the wine glass with a cloth, and suddenly looked up at Shen Cheng: "Guest, would you like something to drink?"
His voice was also steady, neither hurried nor slow, and his tone was gentle.
Shen Cheng was alert, but he didn't show any panic. He asked tentatively, "I don't have any money."
The bartender didn't say anything else, just stared at him with a pair of deep eyes, as if asking: Why did you come to the bar without money? Do you want to get something for free? "Heh~"
Just then, a light laugh suddenly sounded from the side.
Shen Cheng turned his head and finally saw the person he was looking for.
This is a woman about thirty years old, with an upright posture and a plump and round figure under her purple dress.
She was extremely beautiful, on par with Ruan Qingsha, Bai Qiuning and others whom Shen Cheng knew.
But unlike other women's pure beauty, this woman's beauty is full of sexual temptation, making it difficult for men to control themselves after just one look.
Shen Cheng even suspected that this woman was a vampire. Why was she so attractive just by her appearance?
Fortunately, he has strong self-control, because another man would have stood up in awe.
The woman sat at the bar with a half-drunk glass of wine in front of her, as if she had been sitting there for a long time.
Shen Cheng no longer bothered about how she and the bar appeared out of nowhere. He was thinking about how to start the conversation, but the woman laughed instead: "You are quite brave. I haven't even gone to settle the score with you yet, and you dare to come to me on your own initiative?"
Her eyes are golden and there is a teardrop mole at the corner of her eyes, which makes her smile full of charm.
Her voice is also lazy and charming, and it feels tingling and very comfortable when it goes into the ears.
Shen Cheng asked back: "There is no hatred between you and me, why don't I dare to come to you?"
"No hatred?"
The woman turned to look at him: "You took the initiative to spy on me in my memory, isn't this a grudge?"
Although she said she had a grudge, the smile between her eyebrows made it impossible to tell that she was angry.
Shen Cheng was silent for a few seconds before answering: "I was not peeping, I was watching openly."
The woman was immediately amused and raised her hand and snapped her fingers towards the bar: "Give him a drink of your signature drink. It's my treat."
The bartender's movements were swift, dazzling yet beautiful. In a blink of an eye, he prepared an amber cocktail for Shen Cheng and pushed it steadily in front of him.
"You're right. There really is no hatred between us. Last time I said I was going to settle the score with you, I was just joking."
The woman raised her glass to Shen Cheng: "Nice to meet you, my name is Phalaenopsis, it's fate that we met, let's have a drink."
Phalaenopsis, a purple flower, the same color as the woman's dress.
With Shen Cheng's vigilance, he would never drink alcohol from a stranger in such an unfamiliar place.
But he was sure that if he refused to drink the wine, his trip today would be in vain. With the way these two people appeared and disappeared in secret, they could easily disappear in front of him.
It might not be that easy to find them next time.
The adventurous spirit in Shen Cheng made him not hesitate too much. He picked up the wine glass and gently clinked it with the Phalaenopsis in front of him.
He also has a certain degree of confidence in his current strength. Even if he drinks concentrated sulfuric acid or nuclear waste water, it will be no problem. He will not be knocked down by a glass of wine.
With the sound of the wine glasses clinking gently, the two of them drank the wine in the glasses at the same time.
A wonderful feeling blossomed in Shen Cheng's mouth, with a mellow taste, a light aroma of flowers and fruits, and extremely rich layers.
After swallowing, the aftertaste lingers in the mouth for a long time, full of fragrance and endless aftertaste.
Shen Cheng was not a drinking enthusiast, but with his experience he could tell that this was a rare good wine.
After putting down the wine glass, Shen Cheng did not rush to ask whether Phalaenopsis was a memory messenger, but instead asked the question he had just raised: "Why can't I find the bar according to the method in my memory, but can come in just by pressing a button?"
Phalaenopsis put her elbow on the bar, supported her cheek with one hand, and looked at Shen Cheng with a smile.
"Do you really want me to answer? Here, any question has a price."
Shen Cheng frowned and thought, and suddenly guessed a reason.
"Is it your fault?"
He would not have doubted it at first, but after seeing Phalaenopsis's ability to appear and disappear at will, he suddenly realized that whether he could come here was entirely determined by the people here.
Phalaenopsis showed a charming smile: "You are very smart. Although it is said that only the destined person can meet me, on the other hand, only I can decide who is the destined person."
Shen Cheng's heart moved: "Then am I the destined one?"
Phalaenopsis picked up the wine glass and took another sip: "Whether we are destined to be together depends on the choice you make next."
Shen Cheng was almost certain that the woman in front of him was the legendary memory messenger.
He was about to speak when Phalaenopsis raised a finger and placed it at his lips, almost touching it.
"Shh, don't ask, I know why you are here."
Phalaenopsis winked at him: "It's because of Yu Yuanqi, right?"
Shen Cheng was shocked. How did Phalaenopsis know about this?
"Don't be nervous, it's not as complicated as you think."
Phalaenopsis smiled and explained: "After all, the memory messenger holds most of the secrets in this world. How could he not know that Yu Yuanqi has been looking for me? You just came into contact with him, and you have the ability to read memories, and you come to me again immediately. Isn't this a very simple inference?"
If you think about it carefully, it is true, but it also means that Phalaenopsis is observing Shen Cheng's every move, and he is completely unaware of it.
This suddenly made Shen Cheng think of someone in his mind - Zhuo, the person who has been stealing my car, could it be you?
Phalaenopsis was surprised by the sudden hostility in Shen Cheng's eyes, and then she seemed to have guessed something and burst out laughing, her body shaking with laughter, and the louder she laughed, the more she laughed.
In the end, he covered his stomach with one hand and lay on the bar counter, laughing non-stop.
The bartender turned a blind eye to this and continued wiping his glass.
After laughing for more than a minute, Phalaenopsis slowly straightened up and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers.
"I am dying of laughter. I was actually mistaken for a car thief. I must back up this incident in my memory and review it every once in a while."
Phalaenopsis suppressed her laughter and explained to Shen Cheng: "Don't worry, I have no interest in stealing your car, especially a second-hand electric donkey, haha."
Shen Cheng sneered: "Everyone who steals a car says so."
Phalaenopsis did not refute, but asked back: "What if I really stole it?"
Shen Cheng stared into her golden eyes: "Then you'd better not let me know where your car is parked."
Phalaenopsis couldn't help laughing again: "You are so funny, are you a clown at the masquerade?"
Shen Cheng ignored her teasing and frowned, "Who has been stealing my car?"
"I've just told you that here, any problem has a price."
Phalaenopsis emphasized again: "Moreover, every person who comes to me can only make a deal with me once. Are you willing to use this precious opportunity to exchange for the truth?"
"No need."
Shen Cheng shook his head and refused. He already had a way to catch the car thief, so there was no need to waste the precious opportunity here.
Phalaenopsis took another sip of wine: "Then why did you come to see me? Is it just out of curiosity?"
Of course, curiosity is only part of the reason. The main reason is to fulfill Yu Yuanqi's last wish.
But it’s very strange that even though the memory messenger has been found, why is Yu Yuanqi’s last wish still not fulfilled?
Shen Cheng picked up the wine glass and asked back: "You said that any problem here has a price, including your problem, right?"
Phalaenopsis was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Shen Cheng would become the host here.
This bar has received countless people with whom we were destined to meet. Everyone who came here was very cautious, fearing that they would be kicked out for saying something wrong. Only Shen Cheng was an exception.
Phalaenopsis was not angry, but a strange light flashed in her golden eyes.
"Let's play a little game."
Without waiting for Shen Cheng to agree or refuse, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
Snapped!
As the sound rang out, the surrounding environment changed.
One second they were in the bar, the next they were all gone.
Shen Cheng was not nervous. He looked around and found himself in a familiar place - the Tonight Encounter Bar.
Jiang Jing, who had transformed into a pseudo form, appeared in front of him and rushed towards Shen Cheng with a roar.
A huge gravity came down from the sky, directly crushing Jiang Jing into a pool of thin flesh and blood.
He wanted the dead apostle to recover, but he was ignited by the flames and soon burned to ashes amid screams.
