Chapter 1389: A Unique Place

"If you two don't listen to me, that's fine too, but I can't guarantee what will happen later." Lao Qiao looked at the two of them, wearing a warning expression.

"Understood." Chen Yu smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Your place here is no ordinary place. Since we've come here, we will naturally learn a thing or two about it."

"It's just that since we've come here to explore, it wouldn't be appropriate to return empty-handed without gaining anything."

"Young man, there are many things in this world that you cannot imagine, so I suggest you absolutely do not take risks; otherwise, you will not be able to bear the consequences." Lao Qiao grinned.

"You're running a business here, so I don't think you'd drive your own customers away, would you?" Ping'er glanced at Lao Qiao.

"Of course not. You see, there are quite a few people here, but everyone understands the rules and follows them. They won't do things that make things difficult for me, but you two are different; this is your first time here."

Lao Qiao said, "So it is necessary for me to make the situation here clear to you, so you aren't left in the dark later."

"We understand now, please leave." Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "Rest assured, we will leave on our own when the time comes."

"Very well, I wish you both a pleasant time here." Lao Qiao smiled slightly, stood up, bowed slightly to the two of them, and then left.

"This bar owner feels a bit strange." Ping'er frowned slightly.

"Be more confident, drop the 'feels like'—he is inherently a bit strange." Chen Yu said calmly, "But it doesn't matter. He can give his warnings, and we will continue with our business."

"I think I've figured out some logic." Ping'er said thoughtfully, "He means that the people who come to this place at night aren't human."

"Not bad, you sensed the difference so quickly?" Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "You're right. The people who come after ten o'clock at night aren't necessarily human."

"What exactly is the situation?" Ping'er turned her head to look at Chen Yu.

"I don't know the specifics either." Chen Yu paused and said, "Because this is my first time here too. I'll have to wait until the time comes to know what the problem is here."

"So mysterious, can't you just say something straightforward?" Ping'er glared at Chen Yu with some exasperation.

"Everything I said is the truth." Chen Yu laughed.

"Is there any truth in the mouths of you men?" Ping'er said dismissively.

"Have you ever been in love?" Chen Yu looked at Ping'er, feeling a bit dazed.

"No." Ping'er shook her head, "You don't necessarily have to have been in love to understand you men, because most men are the same."

"You say it like that, and it doesn't seem wrong." Chen Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "But what you said isn't entirely correct either. It's not that there isn't a shred of truth in a man's mouth; it just depends on whether you can meet a reliable man."

"You said ten o'clock—what changes will happen here?" Ping'er stopped dwelling on this issue with Chen Yu. She checked the time; there was still over an hour until ten.

"I said, this is my first time here too." Chen Yu smiled slightly, "So I don't know what will happen later either. I only know that some introductory places for Dragon Breath use this place to practice sensory perception."

"You haven't even been here yourself? Really?" Ping'er didn't believe him.

"Do I have any reason to lie to you?" Chen Yu said, unable to laugh or cry, "Just wait patiently. But you have to believe that this place definitely won't let you down."

"Alright then, I'll wait a while longer." Ping'er nodded. She ordered another glass of wine and waited quietly here with Chen Yu.

Time passed quickly, and soon, it was ten o'clock.

However, this place remained a scene of song and dance, and no unexpected events occurred.

Ping'er couldn't help but feel puzzled. She looked around, and there was still nothing unusual. The only difference was that there seemed to be many more people now than before.

"It's ten o'clock, nothing different has happened here." Ping'er turned her head to look at Chen Yu.

"Don't be impatient, keep waiting." Chen Yu smiled slightly, "Perhaps you will soon discover what is unique about this place."

Looking at the confident Chen Yu, Ping'er was half-skeptical, but since she had already waited until now, she had no choice but to wait patiently for a while longer.

Soon, it was ten-thirty.

Chen Yu ordered a few more drinks. The lights and music in the bar made it extremely noisy, but as more and more people arrived, the scene actually grew quiet.

Ping'er suddenly raised her head and looked around. Just as the surrounding music stopped and everything became quiet, she realized that this place had become somewhat unique.

The bar was filled with endless laughter and chatter. Countless men and women in strange attire wandered through the bar, talking and laughing, everyone clinking glasses in a peaceful scene.

But a chilling aura emanated from most of them, making her hands and feet cold.

"This is..." Ping'er revealed a look of terror. She clenched her fists tightly, her palms full of cold sweat.

"That's right, the Gate of Hell. Every night at a specific time, the people in this bar are replaced by other kinds of beings. There are demons here, there are ghosts, but there are no humans." Chen Yu put down the wine glass in his hand and said calmly.

"Did you feel the terrifying aura in here?"

"I felt it." Ping'er took a deep breath to calm herself down. She looked up at Chen Yu, "Why is it like this?"

"Because this world is inherently a world where humans and various other things coexist. Humans look like the masters of this world, but in fact, humans are not the only masters of this world."

Chen Yu said, "Most of the things Dragon Breath deals with every day are these thorny, troublesome matters. So when I brought you here, it was to let you experience the situation here in advance, so you won't panic when you receive missions in the future."

Ping'er nodded slightly. Everything before her eyes made her feel fear, but as time passed, her heart gradually calmed down.

Because she discovered that these things before her were just wandering around her, but they had no intention of harming her.

"Our world does not conflict with their world, but there are exceptions." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"How long do we have to stay?" Ping'er asked.

"We can leave once the Ghost Gate is completely closed." Chen Yu said, "But I don't know what will happen during this process. Perhaps there will be a fierce battle."

Just as Chen Yu finished speaking, a man with disheveled hair and a rather non-mainstream style of dress approached them.
