"Hey! Watch out."
Luo En, carrying a suitcase and a bag, somewhat chaotically dodged a speeding carriage.
This was the third time today.
But Luo En couldn't be blamed; for a transmigrator like him, Loen's left-hand traffic rule was too counter-intuitive, and the roads were far from as wide as in his original world.
Looking at the flow of people around him and feeling the setting sun on his face, Luo En felt a sense of melancholy, as if he were an anomaly in this entire world.
Somehow, he felt something inside him seemed to have loosened.
"Forget it, don't think about all this nonsense." Luo En calmed himself down and continued walking towards the Grizzly Bear Bar.
After some time, Luo En arrived at the Grizzly Bear Bar, though his appearance with the suitcase seemed out of place in the surroundings. After ordering a drink as he had last time, Luo En found the Wine Bottle in the innermost room on the second floor.
"I'd like to store my suitcase and bag with you first, and pick them up after I'm done."
"I'll pay you the storage fee," Luo En added, looking at the Wine Bottle.
"Alright."
The Wine Bottle nodded.
"Oh, right, I want to buy some weapons."
The Wine Bottle glanced at Luo En and asked, "What do you want?"
"A pistol and matching bullets," Luo En replied.
Originally, Luo En didn't particularly need weapons, but his current situation was very dangerous. He was unarmed, and the Monster potion hadn't provided him with any offensive abilities, so he could only buy something for self-defense.
Although bullets might not be useful against Beyonders, they could at least provide him with some sense of security.
"3 pounds," the Wine Bottle quoted a price.
"I'll give you a revolver and 60 rounds of ammunition, and I can even throw in an underarm holster."
"Believe me, this price is very fair. If it weren't for you being a regular customer, I wouldn't give you such a good deal."
Luo En lowered his head, recalled the prices of related items in his memory, and then nodded.
"Okay."
Luo En took out three pounds in banknotes and handed them to him, then took out a two su le banknote.
"Storage fee." With that, Luo En handed his luggage to the Wine Bottle.
The Wine Bottle said nothing and directly took Luo En's luggage. When he took Luo En's bag, he found that the bag suddenly moved.
"It's alive?" the Wine Bottle asked, puzzled.
"My pet." Luo En's eyes darted away, and he didn't offer further explanation.
'Though it is a Beyonder pet,' Luo En added in his heart.
"Wait for me," the Wine Bottle said, carrying the luggage to the Door.
After watching the Wine Bottle leave the room, Luo En lowered his head and scanned the card table beside him.
He found that the style of the playing cards was very similar to what he remembered, and the gameplay in his memory was identical to 'Dou Dizhu' before he transmigrated, just with a different name, called 'Fighting Evil'.
Could it be Rosell again? Luo En involuntarily thought of that name.
After about five minutes, the Wine Bottle pushed open the Door, holding a small wooden box.
Luo En took the box and opened it directly. What met his eyes was a revolver with a black barrel and a mahogany grip. It looked very new, and the entire gun reflected light under the lamp.
Besides that, there were also 60 shiny yellow bullets.
Luo En took out the pistol and looked at it. He had no idea how to test the gun; neither he nor his original body had any knowledge in this area. It was only with the Wine Bottle's reminder that he managed to open the cylinder and look inside.
"My intuition tells me this pistol is fine." Luo En made a judgment in his heart after putting down the pistol. Since he had become a Beyonder, he chose to trust his intuition.
Seeing Luo En's amateurish appearance, the Wine Bottle asked, "Do you know how to use this holster?"
"Uh…" Luo En awkwardly shook his head.
There was no other way, so the Wine Bottle had to instruct Luo En on how to equip the underarm holster.
After some fumbling, Luo En successfully stored both the gun and the bullets.
"It's almost time, follow me, kid." The Wine Bottle said, glancing at the clock on the wall.
Luo En followed the Wine Bottle to the back door of the bar, from there entering a pitch-Dark alley. After several turns, they arrived in front of a house that was completely Dark.
He pulled out a mask from his 懷 and handed it to Luo En, saying, "Consider it a freebie with the gun purchase."
Quite professional, Luo En took the mask and put it on.
Seeing that Luo En was ready, the Wine Bottle stepped forward and knocked on the Door in a rhythmic manner.
After about ten seconds, a small wooden panel on the Door was suddenly pulled open, revealing brown eyes behind it.
After being scrutinized by that gaze for a while, Luo En finally saw the main Door of the house open.
A man wearing an iron mask stepped out, handed Luo En a hooded robe, and said to the Wine Bottle in a hoarse voice, "Next time, come earlier!"
After speaking, he closed the Door and led Luo En through the Darkness of the living room to the sitting room on the first floor. A single candle on the coffee table cast a faint yellow glow, making the entire room shadowy.
Around the coffee table sat more than a dozen people, dressed in robes and wearing masks, just like Luo En.
Luo En found an empty seat and sat down, looking around.
Before long, an elderly man with a strong scholarly aura spoke, "Time is almost up, everyone, let's begin."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a slightly childish voice rang out.
"Um… I want to ask everyone a question, and I will offer compensation."
"If someone drinks a potion from one Pathway, do they still have a chance to choose other Pathways?"
'I also wanted to ask this question, what good luck.' Luo En, beside him, was full of excitement. Since someone else brought it up first, he wouldn't have to show his face.
"Ha, what a foolish question." A burly man scoffed.
"Are you so rich you don't know how to spend it, coming here to throw money away?"
The man was about to say more when he saw the elderly man with the scholarly aura speak, "No need for compensation, I can answer this question for you. The answer is no."
"Once a Pathway is chosen, after drinking the potion, there is no possibility of changing your mind, so choose your Pathway carefully.
If you drink a potion from another Pathway, then what awaits you is either losing control or Death." The old man added another piece of knowledge.
"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Eye of Wisdom." His voice was clearly a little disappointed.
Luo En, who was beside him, also felt disappointed. He had originally planned to find a way to switch out of the Monster Pathway if it were possible to change Pathways, but he received such news instead.
"Am I only destined to be a Monster?" Luo En sighed inwardly.
Although he got the answer for free, Luo En couldn't really be happy, and he also felt that the tone of the old man, referred to as the Eye of Wisdom, had a hint of showing off.
After a moment of thought, Luo En also asked, "Um, I want to know information about Assassins. Does anyone know anything? I can offer compensation that will satisfy you."
The silver-haired woman had given him an Assassin potion, so she was most likely a Beyonder of that Pathway.
Moreover, his Orange Cat had drunk the Assassin potion, so spending some money to buy information about this Pathway would not be a bad thing for Luo En.
'It's a pity that woman didn't tell him the organization's name, otherwise he could have asked.' As soon as Luo En asked, he noticed that the gaze of the old Mr. Eye of Wisdom turned towards him.
"I know this too, I can tell you. How about 10 pounds?" the old Mr. Eye of Wisdom said.
Watching him jump to answer, Luo En always felt that this Mr. Eye of Wisdom seemed to have a particular desire to show off.
After a moment of thought, Luo En replied, "Okay."
"Then you stay after the gathering ends, and I'll tell you privately."
