Chapter 6, the game begins

... ...

As the unrest subsided, the gazes of others towards the two strong men were subtly tinged with a hint of fear, and they did not dare to approach any closer.

However, in such matters, others are unable to assist. Ma Wei has a strong sense of pride and, during activities in the dormitory, he flatly refused any offers from others to waive his expenses.

After a while, the two towering figures, resembling iron towers, silently moved aside, revealing the road behind them

If he had not discovered the string of numbers on his right arm while taking a shower, Zhang Heng might even suspect that what happened this afternoon at the maid café was merely a figment of his imagination

This is a mistake commonly made by the vast majority of people, especially considering the age of the other party, such matters are not too surprising

Two muscular men in suits looked at him expressionlessly from behind their sunglasses, and that gaze conveyed a sense of coldness. Zhang Heng felt as if he were on the vast grasslands facing two male lions ready to hunt. However, his composure once again proved effective as he rolled up his sleeve, revealing the string of numbers on his arm

Does time callback?

It seems that the guy wearing a Tang suit, a top hat, and a tie also mentioned that this meeting was prohibited, but he would resolve this trouble

Currently, there are at least seven to eight hundred people in the place where Zhang Heng is located, and everywhere he looks, he sees thighs and buttocks, accompanied by dazzling laser lights that pulse in rhythm with the DJ's mixing. If that so-called dangerous game were to unfold here, Zhang Heng would bet that the next day, Douyin and YouTube would be flooded with videos.

At that moment, Zhang Heng noticed the shadow in the upper right corner

Zhang Heng did not want to cause any trouble, so he put on the hood of his sportswear and passed by them at a steady pace

After leaving the school, he followed the navigation on Baidu and first took the subway to an industrial area outside the Fifth Ring Road, then switched to jogging to warm up.

Ma Wei's feelings of lamentation are not without reason. Among the four in the dormitory, his family conditions are the most unfavorable. Both of his parents are honest farmers. During high school, he had a crush on a girl in his class, but this affection has always been kept hidden in his heart

The bar was indeed livelier than he had imagined

For the others in the store, the conversation that took place a few minutes ago seemed as if it had never happened at all

Zhang Heng waited for another five minutes, confirming that no one was paying attention to this side, before taking a deep breath and walking over.

This place is somewhat remote, and along the way, Zhang Heng saw several individuals who appeared to be small-time thugs, smoking while casting unfriendly glances at him. There were also a few drunken girls dressed lightly, squatting by the curb and vomiting.

A few drunken young men and women seemed to want to rush up to play, but were stopped by those two individuals

It was not until the second semester of his freshman year that the four of them celebrated his birthday outside. That night, after he had drunk too much, he finally shared this story. By then, Zhang Heng and the others realized that the girl was studying in the same city as him. So, they encouraged Ma Wei to confess his feelings, but he was met with a shake of the head in refusal.

After a great deal of effort in dealing with three onlookers, by the time Zhang Heng walked out of the school gate, the time had already reached 10:05

Yes, there is an event in the evening

Strictly speaking, that cannot be considered the second level; it is merely a massive container fixed to the west wall by a steel structure, with an iron ladder leading into it, and beneath the ladder stand two burly men in suits wearing sunglasses

Sex and the City is transformed from an abandoned factory, covering a large area. The rusted buildings are adorned with various bizarrely shaped graffiti, while luxury cars and supercars are parked in front.

The wealthy second generation was somewhat angry and splashed the wine in his hand onto the faces of the two people. Perhaps accustomed to being arrogant, he directly raised his foot and attempted to charge forward. In the next moment, no one could see what happened; his body suddenly flew backward, knocking over several people and a wine table in succession, ultimately collapsing on the ground, covered in blood and filth, unconscious and unaware of his fate.

This indicates that their confidentiality efforts are sufficiently effective

During this process, he still felt a slight concern; the tragic state of the wealthy second generation just now was quite unforgettable. Although Zhang Heng had previously speculated that the numbers on his arm were the entry ticket to the game, he did not rule out other possibilities.

Chen Huadong raised the cola in his hand and said, "When you encounter her, you must let the brothers have a look and see what kind of enchanting woman can win over our Shucao Zhang Gongzi."

Activity? Could it be a date? Wei Jiangyang, projecting his own experiences onto others, immediately displayed a knowing smile as if to say, "Brother, I understand you"

Is there any character missing in the address

The other three people in the dormitory are well aware of Ma Wei's situation. They know that he relies on the national scholarship to pay for his tuition and to alleviate the financial burden on his family. He is the most diligent in his studies, spending every day in the library, and in the remaining time, he also works part-time as a tutor to earn money, leaving him with no time to engage in romantic relationships

... ...

Are you going out now

Chen Huadong, who was drinking cola and watching a movie nearby, was taken aback upon hearing this, "What? Young Master Zhang, is the person you like not me?"

However, the two strong men showed no reaction

He asked the cute maid with cat ears, and she was certain that from the moment he entered the store until he left, he was the only person in that position

Zhang Heng was increasingly curious about the true identity of that individual, as all of his abilities seemed to be related to time. However, this was not the time to ponder such questions; he needed to first deal with the upcoming game.

The charming and elegant maid in charge of mixing drinks also stated that during that period, she had only prepared one cup of forbidden love

Therefore, Zhang Heng speculated that this was likely the solution he referred to

This time is precisely when the bar business is at its peak, as young people from all directions flock to this city

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur; he did not follow in the footsteps of the wealthy second generation, engaging in aerial human bowling.

Zhang Heng patted Ma Wei's shoulder and said helplessly, "Please stop teasing me. Tonight is really not a date, and I am not gay; I just haven't met a girl I like yet"

Regardless, the organization he belongs to must be sufficiently ancient and secretive; this is not their first time hosting such games, yet the world has remained unaware of their existence

At 10:45, he arrived outside the bar named "Sex and the City"

His companions were startled awake from their drunkenness at the sight before them. A few of the men wanted to throw out some harsh words, but upon seeing one of the guys leisurely wiping his sunglasses, they ultimately backed down, hastily lifting the unconscious rich second generation and rushing towards the parking lot

One of the wealthy second-generation individuals must come from a very affluent family, as he directly threw a handful of cash in the other person's face. The surrounding crowd quickly noticed that the young man had scattered one-hundred-dollar bills, which immediately caused a commotion as people began to scramble for the money

Wei Jiangyang, the dormitory leader, had just finished watching a movie with his girlfriend. At 9:45 PM, he floated back to the dormitory, exuding the sweet scent of love. Upon pushing the door open, he saw Zhang Heng, dressed in sportswear, squatting on the floor tying his shoelaces.

At this moment, the oldest in the dormitory, Ma Wei, also put down the English book in his hands and couldn't help but speak up, "Zhang Heng, with your good conditions, it should be quite easy for you to find a girlfriend. Yet you are still single. If it weren't for the fact that we share a dorm, I would have thought you were gay."

Before even stepping through the door, a deafening wave of sound emanated from within the factory, as if it were intent on tearing apart one's very soul. Zhang Heng furrowed his brow; although the uninvited guest who had shared a drink with him insisted that he should reveal nothing, and that he would naturally come to know everything as the game progressed, there were still some vague hints left in the lines of their conversation.

"Never question a bartender, for every drink is infused with something called love; a person can never forget their love," the latter coolly stated
