850: Buy wine, drink wine

【Old Parker's Tavern】

【Tavern Mystery Rules】

【1. You must pay for drinks. If you don't have money, you can use other things as collateral. This is normal.】

【2. Old Parker has started a tavern promotion: a drinking game. You can try to participate.】

【3. After entering the tavern, you must purchase at least one item before leaving.】

When Mo De arrived at the entrance of the tavern, these three pitch-black rules appeared before his eyes.

These were the tavern's own Mystery Rules.

He stepped inside.

The wooden floor beneath his feet was dark and deep, tinged with orange-red.

Reflected in the faint light from outside, it looked like a smear of blood.

"Oh, is this our Town's Sheriff? Welcome!" A rough voice came from behind the counter.

Mo De turned his head to look.

This was a big man with a pale face and a large beard, at least two meters tall!

Mo De paused and looked at the other person for a few more seconds.

Such a burly person, in this Town, no matter how kind he seemed, he should have been a suspect!

However, Old Parker was not on his long list of suspects at all.

Even the descriptions of Old Parker in the Town were not many.

Most of the information about him was related to the alcohol he sold.

Mo De vaguely understood.

The Old Parker in front of him did not belong to this Town.

Or rather, he did not belong to this Town instance.

He was just a merchant who came to sell alcohol.

Of course, if he violated the rules, Mo De did not think he would survive.

"What kind of alcohol does Sheriff Mo De need? I have everything here." Old Parker's rough face held a smile.

But against the backdrop of the Black Shadow, there was an unspeakable eeriness.

"Is there any baijiu here?" Mo De looked around the interior of the tavern.

What met his eyes were some common types of alcohol.

Whiskey, brandy, vodka, wine…

However, strictly speaking, these were not baijiu.

"Baijiu?" Old Parker's face showed a hint of surprise: "That kind of baijiu unique to the Eastern?"

The burly man asked in return.

This sentence also surprised Mo De slightly.

This World, also has an Eastern?

"Sheriff Mo De, take a look, is this what you want?" Old Parker turned around and rummaged for something under the counter, then brought out a jar of alcohol.

The unique packaging style of the Eastern was clearly different from the wooden barrels containing red wine beside his feet.

He actually had it?

Mo De felt slightly relieved.

This was a jar of Monkey Wine, a type of baijiu.

Looking at the volume, it was at least ten catties or more.

"How much is this?" After confirming that it was the item he needed, Mo De looked at Old Parker and asked.

"Sheriff Mo De, I had a hard time getting this alcohol from the Eastern. With such a long journey, I also had to prevent the alcohol from spoiling, and..."

"How much?" Mo De knew the other party was setting the stage for a price increase, and asked directly with a hint of impatience.

"Heh heh, Sheriff Mo De, 500 US dollars will do."

This price was actually quite expensive.

Although he didn't know his current salary, based on common sense, Mo De could understand that in this era, the average salary in this country was around one thousand US dollars.

However, he should be able to afford it.

"Sheriff Mo De, if you think it's expensive, there's another way to get this jar of baijiu without paying."

"Our tavern happens to have a promotion today. You just need to participate in the drinking game for a chance to get the item you want for free!"

Old Parker rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Is that so? What if I lose the drinking game?"

"Lose? Losing is nothing, Sheriff. Don't you see they are all doing well?" Old Parker's tone suddenly turned sinister at this moment.

Following the direction of his finger, Mo De could see that on the shelves in the distance, there were jars of alcohol in glass containers.

And in the alcohol jars, human brains, spleens, lungs, livers, kidneys, and hearts were soaking!

"They are indeed doing well." Mo De took out a few bills from his body and placed them on the counter.

At the same time, he reached out and picked up the jar of alcohol.

This jar of alcohol was indeed quite heavy.

If he encountered a situation where he had to eat a sandwich again, this jar of alcohol could be used multiple times.

"Sheriff Mo De, take care!" Old Parker, counting the money behind him, said with a chuckle.

Leaving the tavern, Mo De felt his pockets.

His originally full pockets were significantly emptier.

While searching, suddenly, a piece of paper was pulled out from his pocket.

On the paper was a string of numbers.

Monday

Breakfast: 80 cents

Lunch: 1 dollar

Dinner: 0

Tuesday

Breakfast: 80 cents

Lunch: 1 dollar

Dinner: 0

Wednesday

Breakfast: 80 cents

Lunch: 1 dollar

Dinner: 0

...

"Meal expenses?" Looking at the paper, Mo De was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect that the original owner was such a thrifty person, keeping track of all these expenses.

The money in the morning should have been for buying food for Corey, lunch was eaten outside, and dinner was eaten at home with his Lin Yue's wife.

It was probably this situation that led to these spending trends on the paper.

The five hundred he had spent earlier might have been saved with great difficulty.

Putting the paper back in his pocket, Mo De carried the Monkey Wine all the way to the playground behind the police station.

Although it was only a police station with two people, it was still equipped with a small playground.

One lap was only one hundred and fifty meters long, which meant he had to run twenty laps, and at a sprinting pace!

Or rather, with his maximum ability!

Sitting on the steps, Mo De held an old alarm clock framed in a wooden box.

This was something he found in the police station.

The time displayed was 1:35, which was clearly wrong.

Placing the alarm clock aside, The Man immediately picked up the sandwich from his side.

After taking a deep breath, he bit off a piece.

The soft bread wriggled in his mouth, the savory sauce stimulated his taste buds, and the vegetables within also revealed the friendliness of nature.

However.

Mo De ate it somewhat blandly.

He was already full from eating hot dogs earlier, and he had no appetite for this sandwich at all.

Coupled with the unknown horror that this sandwich brought, the delicious taste directly reduced to negative.

It felt as if he was chewing a lump of rotten meat in his mouth, the bursting eggs were like worms, filling him with filth!

After a long while.

Mo De finally swallowed the thing.

After eating this thing, he suddenly felt the area behind him abruptly turn cold.

It was as if something was slowly opening its eyes behind him!

Without any hesitation, Mo De lifted his legs and immediately started running wildly on the playground!

His speed was very fast, at least he thought so himself.

While running at his maximum speed, Mo De could feel the blood flow in his body accelerating!

All the organs in his body seemed to start operating with this run!

One lap, two laps, three laps…

After five laps, Mo De was already covered in sweat, his legs trembling!

While breathing, it was like a broken bellows, his windpipe seemed unable to support it anymore!

Mo De was very tired, extremely tired!

But he didn't dare to stop for a moment.

He could clearly feel that something was clinging tightly to his back!

It was as if as long as he paused for a moment, the other party would suddenly grab him!

Just like this.

Gritting his teeth and enduring, Mo De started running lap after lap on the playground.

Although it was only a long run of a little over ten minutes, he felt it was as long as a century!

When he finally stopped, Mo De couldn't even stand steadily.

His violently trembling legs expressed his overwhelming fatigue.

Running this distance at a normal speed might be tiring, but definitely not to this extent.

While exhausted, Mo De looked at the jar of alcohol next to him.

He actually wanted to rest very much now.

But the chill behind him had become clear.

It was like a cold claw gradually covering and pinching the back of his neck!

Quickly uncovering the seal, Mo De picked up the jar of alcohol and drank wildly without caring about anything.

Drinking alcohol like this would definitely have extremely serious consequences!

But Mo De had no choice.

The System had already given him the answer, and he could not miss the step of writing the answer on the blank line.

"Gulp gulp gulp..."

The strong alcohol went down his throat, and his whole body's hot blood surged again!

Mo De clearly felt that the chill was somewhat dispersed!

He didn't know how long passed.

Only when he couldn't feel the chill behind him anymore did Mo De put down the jar of alcohol, which still had more than half left, with trembling arms.

"Ding ~ Twelve hours have passed, Host has obtained one accumulated lie detection opportunity."

He heard a System broadcast sound in his ear.

"Twelve hours? That means it's almost twelve o'clock." Mo De's mind was not clear at all, but he could still hold on.

He fumbled around his body for a moment, then took out the watch from his body.

11:54

The System had bound itself before twelve o'clock last night.

It was truly twelve o'clock only after he and his Lin Yue's wife talked outside the door for five or six minutes.

Looking at it this way, the time on this watch was most likely accurate.

Gritting his teeth and holding on, he grabbed the old alarm clock on the steps. Half-conscious and half-asleep, Mo De set the alarm time based on the time on the watch.

"Bang ~"

After doing all this.

The Man immediately fell unconscious in the next moment.
