Chapter 84: Zerg 18 “Sorry to interrupt your… No, should I…”

The main structure of Catherine Club is an underground building. The only floor above ground looks like an ordinary bar, perhaps a bit larger in area and more luxuriously decorated, but otherwise not much different from other bars.

That’s what most people think.

Only those with special channels know that it actually has a different world beneath.

The first underground floor of the club is made up of private rooms. This floor is also open to the public, but with a threshold requirement, commonly known as a minimum consumption.

The second and third underground floors are the main business of this club for those wealthy old male insects, or rather, those with special fetishes. Here, everything imaginable and unimaginable is available, and no one cares even if things get out of hand.

Here, there are also various themed activities or public performances at several special fixed times each week.

And further down is the hotel section, which is no different from the xx Hotel opposite the club. The only difference is that the service is better, the decoration is more luxurious, and the price is more expensive.

Ignoring the small interlude in the lobby on the first floor, Amoris frowned and suppressed the speculation in his heart about the plate of curry.

He dismissed the kind waiter, and then pretended to take a stroll in the restroom, taking the opportunity to wash his hands.

Then, taking advantage of the crowd’s inattention, he quietly approached a corner not far from the restroom.

Fortunately, his work attire was a white shirt, black vest, and black trousers, a standard three-piece suit, which blended well with the overall decoration of the club, so even if he made unusual moves, no one would notice.

Amoris lightened his pace. He was heading towards what looked like an emergency exit. There were no chairs there, and usually no one would actively approach it.

The closer he got to the corner, the dimmer the lights became, completely different from the cool lighting effects in the center of the hall. Anyone who didn’t know better would think it was some abandoned place, with even the lights in disrepair.

Amoris continued to move in that direction. On the ceiling, there was also a red dot, almost invisible to the naked eye, flashing.

Amoris glanced at it imperceptibly, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head slightly. When passing the camera, he pretended to sneeze, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and then pretended to habitually turn his head slightly to the side, only revealing a profile to the camera.

And even that half of his profile that was revealed was mostly blocked by his hand.

In fact, there were many cameras in the hall, but those cameras were easily identifiable at a glance. Only this one was installed so hiddenly. If it weren’t for the fleeting red light, ordinary people wouldn’t have noticed it at all.

Intuition told Amoris that this camera must be strange, but he didn’t know if it had any special information collection functions. Years of fleeing had made Amoris instantly vigilant. He didn’t want to work so hard only to reveal his flaws in such a place.

There was also a corner next to the corner, which was a narrow passage, completely dark inside, with a width limited to one person passing through.

Amoris paused, then walked into it without hesitation. Soon, his figure was swallowed by the darkness.

After several twists and turns, a little light came from the end of the passage.

After the last turn, Amoris realized that he had reached the end.

But—

There was no road ahead.

The only source of light was a white light strip on the wall. The white wall was illuminated as bright as day, very dazzling, but no matter how he looked, or even touched it with his hands, there was no other passage.

However, according to Ivan’s information, the entrance to the second underground floor was clearly here. Now that he had come here, he had not found anything that could be called an “entrance.”

Could it be…

Ivan lied to him?

Was he actually in league with the people from the Nol Arena?

This idea was quickly dismissed by Amoris.

First of all, why would the people from the Nol Arena go to such great lengths just to deceive him, and even tell him so many illegal businesses of this club, weren’t they afraid that he would report them?

Moreover, they didn’t act sooner or later. Not to mention anything else, just the alley he passed when he came to the club was a good opportunity. Amoris even felt that it couldn’t even be considered a road. And if they acted in the club, weren’t they afraid that he would make a commotion and attract the military guards? This was the Imperial Star, and besides, there were so many customers outside, they couldn’t all be actors.

Moreover, Patriarch Ivan gave him a lot of good things at the banquet that night. Just that brooch alone was a space item, which could be sold for a good price anywhere, not to mention those rare materials that are now difficult to find on the black market. If it was purely to deceive him, then this cost would be too great.

And the most important point was greed and the desire for power, although Patriarch Ivan hid it very well.

He had been silent for too long. Once he had the opportunity to step onto the stage, he would inevitably show all his brilliance. That night, when Patriarch Ivan mentioned his plan, Amoris saw this light in his eyes, although it was only for a moment, but Amoris would not be mistaken.

Just as Amoris was thinking about this, a crack appeared on the originally snow-white wall, without making any sound.

The crack expanded little by little, eventually creating a door-sized space.

Amoris naturally noticed the change. At the same time, some vague fragments flashed back in his mind.

This precision…

He had only seen it in one place in the past.

That was—the Terra Research Institute.

Could this also be one of their strongholds? Or is it just a simple cooperative relationship?

But Amoris didn’t have time to think about these things now.

From behind that “door,” a person dressed the same as him walked out.

The other party had one hand behind his back and one hand on his abdomen, walking towards him.

Presumably, this was the gatekeeper.

The other party didn’t speak, but smiled at Amoris, the arc of his mouth turned up as if it had been measured with a ruler.

“A customer ordered a Negroni, but the gin needed for the production just ran out. I need to go to the warehouse to get a new bottle.”

Amoris said this sentence according to the script Ivan had told him in advance.

“Where’s Ryder?” the other party asked.

Because the warehouse was at the very bottom of the club, and in order to prevent ordinary customers from trespassing, its entrance was built together with the entrance to the unspeakable parts of the underground.

And in order to prevent the secrets of the underground from being known by some unimportant people, if there was not enough wine during business hours, Ryder was generally responsible for transporting it.

Amoris continued to answer according to the script, and even his tone became anxious because of the script’s requirements: “He said his stomach was uncomfortable and he’s in the restroom. The guest is urging me, so I had no choice but to tell me the way to the warehouse.”

And at this moment, Ryder was indeed in the restroom, although it was he who drugged him.

“You are?”

“My name is Blake.”

“Hand over your work permit.”

Amoris took the work permit from his chest pocket and handed it to the other party.

The other party squinted after taking the work permit, looking him up and down.

In fact, Blake himself was not bad in appearance, otherwise he would not have been mortgaged by his gambling father as a gambling asset, and he and Amoris had some similarities in subtle places. After some disguise, Amoris basically restored 90%.

After a moment, the other party suspiciously returned the work permit.

“Come with me.”

Amoris breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The door slowly closed behind him, returning to its original appearance.

Behind the door was an elevator, and after seeing the appearance of the elevator, Amoris was even more certain that this underground club must be related to the Terra Research Institute.

He looked around without showing any signs.

Walking to the elevator, the gatekeeper did not move, but gave way.

“Here, verify your fingerprint.”

As soon as the voice fell, a small device popped out of a hidden compartment on the wall.

A dignified look flashed in Amoris’ eyes, his heartbeat began to accelerate, heavy as a drum, and even a thin layer of cold sweat oozed out of his back.

Verify your fingerprint here?

He remembered the door that had slowly closed behind him just now.

If the verification fails, he probably won’t be able to get out forever.

Amoris sneered in his heart, lamenting Ivan’s cunning. After all, it was he, Amoris, who did the work, and even if it was exposed afterwards, it had nothing to do with him, Ivan. He was really cunning.

These Ivan didn’t know, after all, his identity was a “customer,” how could a merchant have to verify the identity of a customer? Moreover, those who can enter the underground of this club, their identities are generally not dared to impersonate.

Unexpectedly, there was still a hand left here.

It’s really cautious.

Amoris suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and controlled his hands not to tremble.

When his thumb touched the sensor, a burst of coldness came, followed by the final judgment. He could feel the gatekeeper’s eyes following him closely.

Amoris had already begun to think about the escape route later.

A “beep” sounded.

Amoris’ heartbeat became even more dull, and his legs tightened, making it easy to move at any time.

Fortunately, a green light lit up.

Fingerprint verification passed.

Amoris exhaled a long breath, and he fearfully curled his fingers, feeling the extra piece of skin on his thumb with his index finger that did not belong to him.

The moment the index finger touched the thumb, a strange feeling came, as if there was something between them.

It was clearly a part of his own body, yet it was so unfamiliar.

This was a piece of fake skin, similar to the principle of a human skin mask, which could be used to verify fingerprints.

This was what Ivan gave him extra before leaving.

“Time is a bit tight, it’s a bit rough, I can only do this, I don’t know if it will be useful.”

“What is this?”

“A fingerprint, I guess you might need this.” Ivan smiled, “But I hope you don’t need him.”

“Finally, good luck.”

Perhaps fate really favored him once. Fortunately, this rough and hastily made fingerprint was useful.

Seeing Amoris pass the fingerprint verification, the gatekeeper’s vigilance was significantly reduced. His hand touched something on the wall, and the elevator door opened.

Then he took out the terminal and sensed the control panel, and then pressed the number, and the elevator started to run.

The elevator was so stable that there was almost no feeling, and soon the elevator door opened again.

As soon as the door opened, Amoris smelled a burst of clear wine fragrance.

He saw rows of shelves densely placed in front of him, filled with all kinds of wine.

As soon as Amoris stepped out of the door, he heard the gatekeeper coldly warn: “Don’t take what you shouldn’t take, and don’t look at what you shouldn’t see. Five minutes, whether you find the wine or not, you have to come back and appear in front of the elevator.”

“If I don’t see you after five minutes,” the gatekeeper paused and sneered, “You don’t want to know the consequences.”

After speaking, the elevator door closed.

Amoris immediately made a judgment in his heart.

He has now arrived at the warehouse according to plan, and the next step is to find Baron Albert.

According to intelligence, Baron Albert will attend the club’s event tonight.

He also personally saw Baron Albert heading in this direction, but obviously the place where Albert could go was not something that “Blake” could go.

Logically speaking, there is only one way to go to the underground of the club, and it is known that this is not feasible.

But there is one place that is easily overlooked, that is—

Amoris looked up, it was a ventilation duct.

Five minutes, the time left for him is not much, and he still has to find Baron Albert in these short minutes.

The later it is, the more changes it will mean. So his actions must be quick.

Amoris was agile and moved lightly, and soon climbed onto the shelf, making almost no sound in the process.

But even so, he was still a few meters away from the ventilation duct.

The overall height of the warehouse is very high, and he is already standing on the highest shelf, and the ventilation duct is still above.

A little higher…

Amoris looked at the chandelier above his head and fell into deep thought.

In the next second, he immediately took off his vest, tore it into strips of cloth, and then tied them tightly together, creating a rope out of thin air.

Then, he removed the clip that was clipped to the work permit and connected it to the cloth strips.

Then he slammed it hard towards the chandelier closest to the vent, and the clip got stuck on the chandelier.

Amoris pulled the cloth strip to make sure it was stuck firmly before grabbing it and climbing up.

When he finally stood on the chandelier, the rest was much easier.

Amoris slowly approached the vent, exerted force with one hand, and carefully removed the iron frame.

He lowered his body and nimbly drilled into the ventilation duct. During the process, Amoris did not forget to tidy up the cloth strips and iron frame.

After crawling for a while with a general feeling, he finally saw a light in front of him.

Amoris slowed down his movements. He moved over little by little, his white shirt had long become gray and dull.

He stopped at a position some distance from the exit, looking obliquely downward through the pipe, and found that he seemed to have come to a toilet.

And his target seemed to be in one of the cubicles.

It really came without any effort.

As the saying goes, people are most vulnerable when they go to the toilet.

Amoris decisively took out the small knife he had stolen from the bar, suddenly lifted the iron frame of the ventilation duct, landed lightly, and then twisted off the door lock of the cubicle with his bare hands.

These actions almost happened in an instant, and Baron Albert didn’t have time to react at all.

And after he realized what had happened, a small knife had already been sent into his heart, and a bright red flowed down along his clothes, spreading at the position of his chest.

He opened his mouth weakly, his eyes wide, seemingly very surprised. His hand trembled and grasped the handle of the knife, wanting to pull it out, but he no longer had the strength to pull it out.

After confirming the death of Baron Albert, Amoris took off a ring from his right hand.

This was what Ivan wanted, and he had no interest in it.

Just as Amoris was thinking about the evacuation route, the door opened.

A familiar silver-white figure appeared in front of Amoris.

It’s Arnold!

Almost subconsciously, Amoris turned his head away, for fear that Arnold would recognize him, and the signal to leave quickly kept flashing in his mind.

Why is Arnold here?

Did he know something?

And Arnold didn’t give Amoris time to think at all, the smell of blood floating in the air had already explained everything.

Without hesitation, Arnold launched an offensive forward.

Amoris had no choice but to defend and counterattack, hoping to find a chance to let himself leave.

He didn’t want to face Arnold.

In the process, he also had to try to restrain his habits and not let Arnold recognize him.

Therefore, Amoris was almost fighting with restraint, and there was a sense of stagnation in his movements, as if the game button had malfunctioned.

He quickly fell into a disadvantage.

During the fight, Amoris’s hair was scattered, and his already depressed hairstyle became a mess, but it also well blocked most of his face, preventing Arnold from recognizing him.

Soon, Arnold seized the gap in Amoris’s attack, raised one hand to block Amoris’s attack, grabbed Amoris’s wrist with the other, and then raised it over his head, and with a force, pressed Amoris to the ground.

“Hiss.” Amoris cried out in pain and made a light call.

But it was this voice that made Arnold’s movements have a significant pause.

What a familiar voice…

Just then, the toilet door was opened again.

Amoris’s sight was blocked by Arnold, and he couldn’t see who was coming at all.

His steps were shaky, and he didn’t know if he was drunk or what.

“Ouch~” the person shouted.

And Amoris, who heard the voice, instantly recognized that this was Nit’s voice.

Nit originally wanted to come to the restroom to sober up, but he didn’t expect the picture in front of him to instantly wake him up for the most part.

He saw a silver-haired female insect with her legs apart, kneeling on the legs of a black-haired male insect, and firmly holding the male insect’s hands, looking like it was the kind of scene that Jinjiang didn’t allow to write.

Wow, playing so exciting? Or compulsory level? Compulsory or male insect? He can catch such a rare scene?

And Amoris’s resistance, in Nit’s view, was even more that the male insect was forcibly forced by the female insect, ashamed and angry to die, and the body could not control and trembled slightly.

“Um, sorry, you continue.” Nit is not a person without eyesight.

Huh~ Really scary, still forcibly male insect. He has to run quickly, what if that female insect likes him later?

And the male insect’s clothes are gray and dusty, and he has been violently treated at a glance. Tsk tsk tsk, this female insect is really barbaric, and doesn’t understand how to cherish jade at all.

If he forcibly Blake, he would definitely not be so rude. Hehe~

Hey, wait? Black hair?

Nit’s feet, which were just about to leave, stopped uncontrollably. He poked his head out and found that the person lying under the silver-haired female insect was none other than Blake.

Can female insects and sub-females also do it? Big question mark in Nit’s small head.

But it doesn’t matter, he doesn’t mind!

He just didn’t expect Blake’s charm to be so great that even female insects couldn’t resist the temptation.

He came to the two of them and said something amazing:

“Hey, no, why don’t you add me?”
