Hotel California

In the dark night, the car stopped, and the heaviness of the soles of his boots poked out of the door and landed on the smooth masonry floor.

This is not Barton, the ground of Barton is only concrete, only half a century of Patton, there are no such streets. This is probably the farthest city in the Federation from Barton.

When Patton's Grande was visited by an angel at bedtime, he was also stricken with ...... No, there is nothing to encounter, it is immersion, and it is also immersed in the excitement of the carnival. As soon as the concert of the Children of the Night ended, people's ears were still ringing, their throats were still hoarse, and even their eyes were still sunk in the blurred red......

The owner of the boots casually closed the car door, leaned against the side of the car, and bent the corners of his mouth to wait for the car behind him. In the building in front of him, the party has begun, and the owner of this party wants to see the 'fresh' guests enter.

The cars stopped, and people with anticipation and excitement rushed out of the cars, "Eli!

"I love you too. Leaning against the side of the car, Eli opened his hands to the enthusiastic fans, "Welcome to my celebration party." Not wanting to waste any time, he pointed to the entrance of the party, "Here." ”

Under a neon-lit nightclub sign, two pale-skinned security guards pulled the door open. It was as if the noise of all the sounds rushed into the streets and joined the excitement of the night.

"It's already started, let's go inside. Eli encouraged the excited fans with a look in his eyes, "Enjoy, I promise, tonight will be unforgettable." ”

Happy fans crowded through the narrow door, and the corners of Eli's mouth became more and more curved. The squinted eyes, which may have been dyed red by neon, also seem to flicker with anticipation for tonight.

"To. Mr. Toledo......"

Eli's anticipation was interrupted by a trembling voice, and he tilted his head to look at the man who was clearly excited to walk up to him. Kind of familiar.

"Oh, hug, sorry! You don't remember me, I'm Arthur! I interviewed you, on my radio show!"

"Arthur. Eli looked at the guy and remembered. "Arthur's Music Box. ”

"Yes, yes, it's me!" he almost danced.

Eli, however, frowned. It's just that the change in this expression is too rapid, and it is impossible for the other party to find out, "So, is this an interview now?" Eli fits the bill with an idol's attitude when it comes to media people. Just keep smiling. "I didn't know there was going to be a radio show on location. ”

"No, no, no, hehe, I'm not the host anymore, uh......" Arthur's face was momentarily malice, "I've been fired." "I'm here purely for your fans! I just finished your concert......!

Eli raised an eyebrow slightly, the reason for the frown just now had been dispelled.

"I heard about your celebratory party, so I signed up. He began to giggle. "I thought I wasn't going to be chosen, hehe. I'm a man, after all. Hehe, I'm also half of this circle, you know, this kind of band party, probably won't invite me like this, hehe, it should be those ......" Arthur glanced at the fans who were still crowded into the party door - girls, beautiful girls were the majority.

Eli gave an unoffended smile.

Arthur continued, "But you're not like the others! I know several male fans in the car when I first came......" Arthur's face suddenly froze, "That ......"

"You're thinking too much. Eli dismissed the guy's peculiar concerns, "You can go in too." ”

Watched by a flashing red gaze, Arthur couldn't refuse and joined the crowd.

An unfamiliar voice stopped Eli from following, "Is self-restraint a joke to you?" The man in the formal suit took off his gloves and pointed his finger at Eli's car, sliding over the front of the car as he approached.

Eli watched as a scratch stretched from there to nothing under the other party's fingertips, and the red in his eyes narrowed into a line, "Lesembra, are you going to give me a new car?" ”

"Mayor. The other party's fingertips were buried under the front cover of the car, "Call me mayor, citizen." ”

Eli curled the corners of her mouth, "Mayor, can you take back your claws?"

"Nope. The other smiled back, "I have to be ready to deal with guys like you, don't I?" The mayor leaned over to Eli, closed his eyes slightly, as if breathing, and opened them to look at Eli, "Even if it's so close, I can't feel the blood flow at all." Then his tone became cold, "That is, I have no sense of when you are going to attack. "Maybe you can let me taste your 'taste' and show me the secrets in your blood, what kind of skills are there that make you ...... (As mentioned earlier, Moyan Lesenbra is good at carrying and interpreting information in the blood)"

Eli took a step back, smiling even though he felt disgusted, "What kind of joke is the mayor playing, we have no secrets, and we don't have any tricks. And why would I, a small citizen, attack my beloved mayor?"

"No. Sneered, "Are you born with this ability to shield perceptions, why would the chosen Thirteen Clans not know that they have such a particularly talented brother." Hehe, I'll find out, whatever you're hiding. Then he retreated to the cold, "If you don't attack me, then don't hurt my precious citizens." The mayor looked away at the nightclub that had been closed again.

"I won't. ”

"Yes. The mayor's hand continued to scratch the car, "Do you know how much money I allocated to fix the collapse you caused at your last concert? Do you know how much money I allocated to pay for the families of fans who 'died in an accident'?" The mayor looked back at Eli, "My city, even if you scratch a window, I will be the one to pay for it." After a brief pause, "We (the Feast) gave you the name 'Feast Torredo', not for you to make the bills. Did I make it clear?"

"Clearly. Eli looked at the mayor in front of him.

"Good. He withdrew his hand and put his gloves back on. "The party is over. Continue your good behavior at the concert and let those people go. You have your food, don't steal it from me. I'll be angry. ”

Eli continued to smile, "No, actually, can I invite the mayor to join me at the party?"

The mayor's eyes began to turn red, probably neon-dyed.

"Listen to me, it's not good that you're so anxious. Eli took a few steps back againβ€”the mayor in front of him, and the street, the land, belonged to the other side. "The people who just went in are not your citizens. ”

Crimson's expansion pauses, and the mayor seems willing to listen to explanations.

"They were the fans who came after my central concert was cancelled. Eli's smiling face continued to bend at the corners of her eyes. "They have nothing to do with our western region, and they are not public figures who will be noticed. "This is probably the reason why Arthur was a little repulsed when he first appeared," and some of them were Indians. And finally, "everyone who can make it to this party." It's all carefully selected. The mayor will love it. ”

The mayor's eyebrows raised. Under the eyelids that were pulled up, the redness was gone.

"I ......" the mayor was thinking, as if he was embarrassed, the humans in the central part and the Indians, as if it was a great temptation for the mayor. Eventually, the mayor smiled, "I can only miss, I have an important meeting to attend." "Turn around. "You can go on with your party, have fun. You know there aren't many opportunities like that, To, Rui, more. "Gone.

Eli watched the mayor disappear, his eyes falling on the scratches on his car, and the red in his gloomy face seemed to drip out.

The noise that mingles with everything rushes into the street again, and the two security guards open the door again, and it's time for the protagonist to enter.

"Lost the car. Eli stepped into the club, and the door behind him closed instantly.

The real party, begins.

"Eli, Eli, Eli......"

In the midst of the cheers, the protagonist opens his arms, and someone throws himself into his arms. Under the hot drumbeat, the protagonist shakes his body, and someone beats to the rhythm. In the crowd, the protagonist looks up, and something like a lit cigarette is handed to his mouth, inhaling deeply and exhaling, and spreading a smoke ring under the ceiling where various colors of light meet......

"I feel you!"

Probably no one knew what was going on, and the heart of the party stood above the crowd. Heavy leather boots trampled on the psychedelic crystal glass, and in the enclosed space where the background music was suddenly lost, all hearing was stirred by the sound of footsteps.

"Me!!"

Eli pointed to everyone below him.

"I feel you!"

The red gaze shrouded all the people who showed happiness on their faces.

"You guys. ”

No one knows how the mic stand appeared in front of their idol, and no one knows how the chair, the guitar, the keyboard, and the drum stand are......

Gentle, "Can you feel me?" ”

'Driving on a dark road......'

The screams of cheer can only be shouted at the first time of this opening, and the rest of the time, people, have to feel the people on the stage.

Let's feel.

'The cool breeze blew through my hair, and the strong xx smell was in the air......

There is no wind in the enclosed space, but the smell is pervasive. The vibes are intoxicating.

Looking up into the distance, I noticed a glimmer of light. My body was getting heavier and my vision was blurry, and tonight, I had to stop. ’

No one followed, didn't you know the lyrics, didn't you know the melody, was it a new song, and the happiness of the fans came too suddenly.

She was standing by the door, and there were church bells, and I was thinking, heaven or hell......

The simple repetition of the bars, the melody has become accustomed to it, and someone begins to hum along.

She lit the candle and gave directions. Then I heard a voice, as if to sayβ€”"

Stretching the procrastination of the beat, everyone who felt the people on the stage understood, the chorus is coming-

'Welcome to Hotel California, what a wonderful place, what a lovely face. ’

'Hotel California has a place where you can go whenever you want. ’

Inexplicable termination.

Eli's fingers pressed to the strings, "Feel it?"

The hands that had just been raised in the high-tide part of the crowd were slowly lowered, looking at the people on the stage in confusion.

I asked. Eli's lips rubbed against the microphone, "Do you feel it?"

The nightclub lights, which have lost any sound accompaniment, run boringly according to the trajectory set by the machine, and sweep across the confused and looking up faces. Now, you can find these psychedelic lights and colors, and there really is no trace left.

"Hey. Eli's fingers loosened the strings and moved up, his gaze away from the disappointed faces in the audience, and gave the band a continuing look.

"I, I feel the ......" in the crowd, someone raised their hand.

Eli looked at the place where the light was twisted, "You...... Arthur?"

"Yes!" the first word of excitement turned nervous when he noticed everyone around him looking at him, "...... Yes, it's my ......."

"What do you feel?" Eli repressed the strings, looking at the guy.

"Uh...... Uh......"

"Give him a microphone. ”

Out of nowhere, a parabola bends the colorful rays of light and hits Arthur.

Arthur held the microphone tremblingly. If he had been used to using a microphone in front of people, he wouldn't be a radio host.

"Uh...... That, I'm ......."

"Something was felt. Eli on stage, fingers tapping on the guitar.

"This, well, song, is it saying, well, yourself?"

"Go on. Eli tilted his head.

It doesn't seem to be so nervous, "I, that, wasn't it the host, Cai, before interviewing you, I was a fan, also, that, I did some homework......"

The eyes of the people around him began to become curious, who doesn't want to know more about their idols?

"You, your band, well, are signed to the Federation......" is getting smoother and smoother, "It turns out that in the UK, you are not valued by the agency, you are not arranged to perform, you have been doing underground indie band ......" (no video can not be on the show and the performance is equivalent to eating)

The eyes of the people around him moved between Arthur and Eli on the stage, confirming the authenticity. They noticed Eli smiling.

"Well, probably, that's what the song says, you're tired and want to go somewhere else to develop, but you're not sure if it's better or worse. It just so happened that someone from the Federation picked you up, and you came, and then the second section should be about the current ......"

"You come up. Eli held out his hand and waved at the crowd in front of him, "Get out of the way." ”

"I ......"

"Hurry up. Eli looked at the band to the side, as if to convey something, "I don't have much patience. ”

Arthur knew that he had climbed onto the stage under everyone's jealous gaze, but it didn't matter, and at the most embarrassed moment, Eli pulled up a leg and hung him in the air.

"You're right. Eli motioned for Arthur to stand beside him and reposition the microphone, "Your music host didn't do it in vain, and the second quarter did." "No singing, no movement of the band," there are luxury cars, suitors, people who claim to be friends, dancing, drinking, carnivals, and sweat. ”

The people in the audience continued to look at it in confusion, just saying, don't you sing?

"Let's skip the second quarter, where there were no surprises at all. "The fingers on the strings have risen, and the members of the band have turned over the score," Arthur. Eli tilted his head and looked at him, "You're lucky enough to feel it." So, feel thisβ€”"

Everything became red, all voices became screams.

'In their home turf they began to feast on people, they picked up any sharp knife and could not kill the monster that pounced on themselves......

At the end of the new song, which no one is listening to or hearing anymore, "Do you feel it? ”

(FFF CEO's "Hotel California" extra, the expression may be a little mixed...... (To be continued.) )
