Joker Game (Fei Gua) Chapter 29: meeting

A small living room, covered with old carpets, warm lighting, two single sofas placed diagonally, a small wooden coffee table in the middle, a small bench at a little distance, and a fireplace The charcoal burning in the oven exploded with "crackling" sparks from time to time.

A man and a woman are sitting on the sofa respectively.

The man is in his thirties, with a medium build, black hair scattered casually on his forehead, and wearing a jacket that can be bought anywhere. Although his face is too angular, he is still handsome. At this moment, he was fiddling with the teacup in his hand in boredom.

The woman looks a bit older, but she will not exceed 35 years old. She wears everyday clothes at home and has a very ordinary face, but she can give people a sense of grace and luxury. He's holding a book, snuggled up on the sofa in a comfortable position... oh, and he has beautiful hands.

Neither of them spoke, only the sound of pages rubbing and charcoal burning.

……

After a while, the black-haired man probably felt that he was too bored, so he asked, "What's going on in the "Dark Realm"?"

The woman turned a page of the book and replied casually: "There are not enough volunteers, and there is no progress."

"Oh..." the man said lightly, but couldn't find anything to talk about afterwards.

So, fell into silence again.

……

Another five minutes passed in silence.

Suddenly, the man felt that something was blocking the light from the fireplace, he slowly raised his head, and found that a boy appeared not far in front of him at some point. At most 15 years old, short and fat, wearing what should be the largest boy's tracksuit, but it still looks a bit small.

"Oh, you're here~" the black-haired man said briefly, then lowered his head and fiddled with the teacup in his hand, as if the sudden appearance of a boy was a very common thing.

The boy took a few steps forward and sat down directly on the carpet, "It's so early!" He said casually, his over-nourished fat body made his "sit down" movement look very awkward clumsy.

"I don't like making people wait." The black-haired man said

The woman has been reading the book, not wanting to join the conversation between the two.

The boy took out a lollipop from his pocket and put it in his mouth. He didn't care about the woman's indifferent attitude, and looked at the man, signaling if he wanted one.

The man shook his head and asked, "What do you think of this proposal?"

The boy took a sip of the lollipop, took it out, looked at it, and said casually: "It's pretty good, what else can I do?"

The voice just fell!

A small space on the carpet twitched, like a TV screen with a bad signal, and then a burly figure stood there.

This is a man, at least two meters tall, wearing a large black suit, and the muscular muscles wrapped in it can still be felt through the clothes.

But what is incompatible with this figure is that his face is a bit plump.

"Hey, hey! We're almost there." The man clapped his hands and said, looking a little impatient.

The woman on the side frowned, and tried hard to look away from the book: "Aren't you waiting for him?" She was a little depressed, obviously just happened to read the interesting part.

"Ah, that kind of stubbornness, I'm slowly persuading him when he comes." The man said, "Besides, he's been so busy recently, I don't know when he'll have to wait."

The boy didn't speak, but nodded with a lollipop in his mouth, expressing his agreement.

The woman sighed helplessly. Although she felt a little unhappy, she felt that what the man said made sense, so she folded the page and closed the book with a full face of reluctance!

The boy looked at the woman's indifference, and couldn't help asking: "You made this proposal, why do you feel like you don't care at all?"

The woman moved because she had been reading for a long time, and her body was a little stiff, and she replied absent-mindedly: "You are not stupid!"

The boy smiled with a lollipop in his mouth.

"Actually, I think you should discuss it with us first, after all, this is not a trivial matter!" The burly man said this, his voice was a little low, showing a sense of calmness.

The woman looked helpless: "I said last time, he will be executed, and there will be no time to discuss it at that time!"

The boy sucked on the lollipop vigorously, and at the same time quickly pulled out the candy with the stick, making a "pop" sound.

He babbled and said: "That is to say, do you think that group of idiots in the "abnormal creature research area" can execute him?"

Although the boy seemed to be concentrating on the lollipop, everyone present could hear that the shallow lines in his words were: "Why are you so anxious!"

The woman looked at the boy with a smile in her eyes, but the others obviously felt the chills on their bodies.

"What are you doing again, are you two going to fight again?" The man stopped the two people who didn't see each other impatiently.

Suddenly, the space in the corner of the room flickered again.

An old man appeared and walked slowly towards the crowd.

He is very short, coupled with his hunchback, he looks much smaller than a boy.

"Arguing again!" He said, as if he saw the younger generation bickering and wanted to say a few words but could do nothing.

My eyes are full of tiredness...

"Okay! Everyone is here, let's start this time!" The man shouted: "I think this proposal is good."

He raised his hand, as if at a "where to go this weekend" family vote meeting.

The old man moved the small bench from the corner.

"I think everything must be done according to the rules, otherwise there will definitely be trouble!" He said slowly and seriously.

The woman knew that he would definitely say that, so she rolled her eyes helplessly, as if she wanted to talk about fashion trends with an old man who was out of time.

"Rule? So what do you want to do? Execute him? Then wait for the next lunatic to appear? Or lock him up and sink to the bottom of the sea?" she said.

"If that works, we don't have to bother"

The old man is silent...

Seeing that the old man stopped talking, the boy interrupted and said, "Isn't it good now, someone is watching him, and he can't get out!"

The woman glanced at her mouth. In fact, she liked children a long time ago, until she met this guy.

"This is only temporary. He will be infected sooner or later. What you are doing is making up for mistakes with mistakes! By then we may have to face two terrible guys!"

Everyone present frowned, as if recalling a very bad memory.

The woman rubbed her head: "Look at what you made. Fortunately, people think he is dead now. I can't even imagine the moment when the lie was exposed!"

The boy pouted and sucked on the lollipop, made a "squeaky" sound, and said, "Actually, just put..."

"No!"

"Deprecated!"

The old man and the man said almost at the same time, without even thinking about it. Even the burly man, who had never been very talkative, shook his head.

The woman frowned and stared at the boy: "That little blue fat man can destroy the world! Do you know?"

She said angrily.

"We have all agreed that the "Dimensional Realization" proposal is terminated and will never be launched again!"

The black-haired man also interjected, "That's right, our world has enough to worry about!"

The boy whispered with aggrieved face: "Oh, I know. I was just thinking about it at the time, who knew it would become like that."

The old man's brows and eyes were a little loose, obviously he also felt that what the woman said made sense, but he always felt a little uncomfortable because he was used to following the rules.

So, he asked again: "How can we guarantee that he will be honest? We don't know what he is thinking at all?"

The woman pursed her lips and smiled: "No, we don't need to know what he's thinking, we just need to know what he's after..."

The boy followed the words: "Interesting?"

"Yes, interesting!" The woman nodded:

...

The atmosphere became quiet, and people were thoughtful!

The man saw that the other three fell silent, and hurriedly urged, "Okay, okay, since you can't do anything about him, then follow him. This is a very simple and effective solution. In fact, you all think this The proposal is not bad, right, then there is no need to waste time!"

He doesn't like this way of thinking that has to think carefully about everything. It's not that he has no brains, but he is a very direct person.

The old man's temper was obviously the opposite of his, so he still hesitated and said: "I still don't think it's good to include such a dangerous person. In fact, we can promise him..."

The woman interrupted him before he finished speaking.

"Come on, the word promise is not in his mind. For him, control and suppression will not help. We can only give him what he wants."

"And said to take in dangerous people... Who in the Omega team is not a dangerous person!"

As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at the black-haired man ~IndoMTL.com~ who was sitting beside her and smiled, as if she thought it was a compliment!

"Even if there is nothing we can do in the end, we still have a last resort, don't we?" The woman added while the iron was hot.

The old man thought for a while.

"Hmm... alright!" the old man nodded and said.

Seeing the old man let go, the man looked very happy, and immediately raised a hand and said, "I agree."

The woman also smiled, raised her hand and said, "I agree!"

The boy bit the crushed lollipop and raised his hand: "I agree!"

The old man thought for a while, and finally raised his hand: "I... um... I agree!"

At this time, everyone looked at the burly man who had never talked much. In fact, everyone knew that he would agree.

Sure enough, he raised his hand and said in a steady voice: "I agree!"

In this warm little living room, everyone said the same three words and raised their hands in the same way, like some kind of ceremony.

"The proposal is approved!" the man said, his tone obviously relaxed.

"Finally it's over, I still have things to do over there, let's go!"

"Well... I'm leaving too!" said the boy, biting the last piece of lollipop.

...

The flame in the fireplace seemed to be blown by the wind, twisted greatly, and then went out with a "huh".

At some point in time, the small living room was empty, as if the five people had never been here at all.

On the pitch-black charcoal, there are still golden-red embers, and blue smoke is slowly floating.

Still warm.

Be quiet.

...
