Rules Strange Story: My Family is Not Normal

  Chapter 69 The stick with flashing red light

   Zhou Bai hesitated for a while, but finally accepted the invitation letter handed to him by the bartender with tilted head.

  【Invitation letter on the second floor】

  【Admission time, 10:30 every night. Please be there on time, no late waiting. 】

   Zhou Bai looked at the time marked above.

  Ten thirty?

  But the tavern doesn't open until eleven o'clock in the evening!

   This entry time is not within the tavern's business hours.

   Could it be that the first rule of the horror tavern customer rules is wrong in this place?

  The audience in the live broadcast room of the Great Xia Country did not know that there was an error in the first article of the customer code.

  So when I saw the entry time on the second floor, everything exploded.

  —"This conflicts with the first rule of the customer code!"

  —"Fake! Fake! This head-turning bartender is really bad!"

  —"It is against the rules to enter the venue outside of business hours, but you will die!"

  —"The waiter said that the blue pistol is in the underground wine cellar. Just go to the underground wine cellar to find it, and there is no need to take the risk."

   Zhou Bai didn't know the worries in the barrage at this time.

   Instead, he silently put the invitation letter in his hand into his pocket.

  The bartender with the tilted head returned to the bar after giving the invitation letter.

   At this time, the prelude to the second piece of music just sounded on the dance floor.

  Zhou Bai went to the corner and found the proprietress with rabbit ears hiding in the corner.

  He passed his hand in front of the proprietress.

  The proprietress with rabbit ears raised her head and glanced at Zhou Bai, but her eyes fell on the invitation letter in her pocket with a corner exposed.

   "Are you going to the second floor?"

   Zhou Bai nodded.

   "That might be a little dangerous."

  The proprietress lowered her head again and said calmly.

  When Zhou Bai heard her words, his heart skipped a beat.

  The audience in the live broadcast room became even more worried.

  —"Even the proprietress said the second floor would be dangerous! The second floor must be dangerous!"

  —"This head-turning bartender is really bad!"

  —"Huh! Fire and theft prevention, anti-tilt bartender!"

  Zhou Bai paused, then continued to ask, "What danger will there be?"

  The proprietress shook her head, and didn't intend to continue answering Zhou Bai's question.

   Zhou Bai sighed softly.

   will not tell you the answer easily, this is the basic operation of the game NPC.

   It seems that the answer still has to be found by yourself.

  The music gradually starts.

   Zhou Bai didn't continue this topic, but took the proprietress' hand and walked to the edge of the dance floor.

  On the dance floor, there are couples snuggling together.

  Their unfamiliar dance partners seemed a bit out of place.

  The proprietress lowered her head, and all her movements were timid.

   Only dare to stay on the edge of the dance floor, and dare not even get close to the center of the stage.

   "Don't be afraid of other people's eyes. Look, I can dance well, but I just want to hold my head high."

  After Zhou Bai finished speaking, he deliberately raised his head high.

  Amused the proprietress with a "poof" smile.

   Then Zhou Bai suddenly pulled her hard, dragging her to the center of the stage.

  The lady boss looked up at Zhou Bai in shock.

   "Yes, that's it. Let's hold our heads high together."

   Zhou Bai deliberately spoke in an exaggerated tone.

  The proprietress finally relaxed in her words, and a smile appeared on her face.

   "That's right, you obviously dance very well."

  When the proprietress heard Zhou Bai's praise, a slight light flashed in her eyes.

  The music gradually enters the chorus part.

  The proprietress also gradually forgot about other people's gazes.

  She took small steps in the middle of the dance floor, swinging her arms, with a confident look that even those who were familiar with her were a little dazzled.

  The cat-clawed man was beside the dance floor, looking at the proprietress dancing, he was a little dazed.

  The girl next to him was so angry that she waved her wings to the back of his head.

  The pain was so painful that the cat's claw man almost shed tears.

   He could only look back pitifully.

   After the song was played, the lights on the dance floor turned from dark to bright.

  The proprietress with rabbit ears seems to have a sweet dream in this song.

   When the light came on, I woke up from the dream, and subconsciously, I covered my face.

  At this moment, another sharp whistle sounded outside the tavern.

   Zhou Bai frowned and looked towards the door.

   Patrolman's whistle?

   Zhou Bai subconsciously looked at the time displayed on the phone screen.

   Fifteen past two.

   Arrived more than forty minutes earlier than yesterday.

  Zhou Bai faintly felt something was wrong.

  As the whistle sounded, the music and conversation in the tavern also stopped instantly.

  The tavern became very quiet.

  However, the sound of chewing from a certain corner became very obvious.

  In the tavern, no one cared about this voice.

  Only Zhou Bai looked in the direction of the voice.

  In a corner of the dance floor.

  The man in the suit leaned against the wall, snuggling up with the girl with a beak.

  The bird-beaked girl lowered her head, as if she was holding something in her hand.

   Zhou Bai just glanced at it, and his heart was almost in his throat.

  Then, the sound of breaking various porcelains came again.

  The patrolman wearing a red hat, holding a red stick in his hand, swung it at the wine glass on the table.

   The sound of "Kang Dang" came over again and again.

   Patrolman's hat is pushed down.

   Zhou Bai couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

   After smashing all the wine glasses in the tavern hall, he walked onto the dance floor and walked towards the corner.

  The girl with a beak heard the footsteps behind her and turned her head.

   Then, Zhou Bai saw her mouth full of blood.

   And what she held in her hand was the hand of the man in the suit.

  The patrolman raised the red stick and swung it down heavily.

   It was the man in the suit who hit the head.

  After the man in the suit was hit, his eyes slowly regained some clarity.

  However, Zhou Bai saw that the red stick in the patrolman's hand flickered red after hitting the man in the suit.

  It’s like a light stick, the kind of flickering before the battery is about to run out.

  Article 5 of the Horror Tavern Customer Rules.

  【The control in the tavern is very strict, and patrolmen with red hats often appear. No matter what they do in the tavern, there is nothing to be afraid of. However, if you see them taking out black clubs, please leave the pub immediately. 】

   Zhou Bai's heart tightened.

  If the red stick turns black, what kind of scene will develop in this tavern?

   Zhou Bai believed that he definitely didn't want to see it.

  The girl with a bird beak stayed where she was, with a shred of meat on the corner of her mouth.

  The man in the suit couldn't feel any pain at all, and just stood there blankly.

  The tilted head bartender followed the procedure and still came over to bow and apologize.

  The proprietress with rabbit ears hid in a corner without knowing when.

  The waiter who couldn't speak was holding a tray in his hand, and there was no emotional change on his face.

   Zhou Bai waited until the patrolman left, and he also stepped out of the tavern.

  The beckoning cat at the door saw Zhou Bai come out, but looked at his pocket.

   "Welcome again!"

   Zhou Bai walked out of the door, and the door closed behind him.

  Maneki-mao looked at his back and smiled for the first time.
