13 Mink Street Chapter 218

This spot is still open, definitely not such a serious cafe.

Similarly,

At this point, if you want to go to a coffee shop for coffee, you will definitely not be a serious person.

Karen stood at the entrance of the cafe, looking at the neon sign hanging on it:

【Above the finger full of magic and the beautiful sky】

I "translated and understood" in my heart, and the name of the store brand should be understood like this:

【Magic refers to heaven】

The waiter at the door took the initiative to greet him, and Neo asked for a coffee shop.

The waiter looked at Neo and Karen, slightly surprised, but immediately said:

"Understood, make arrangements for the two of you immediately."

The coffee shop is at the corner of the second floor. After walking in, the space inside is not large, but it is very deep.

There are two small sofas and a coffee table at the door, and inward is a bathroom with a bathtub, and inward is a round bed, and further inward is a long sofa leaning against a floor-to-ceiling window.

On the floor in front of the couch, a soft cushion is thoughtfully placed.

The lights in the room are dark red, very secretive, and there are many pictures of **** stars hanging on the walls, with charming and provocative expressions. .

Karen sat down on the sofa by the door, reached out and pulled the coffee cup, and found that not only was the wall covered with old sugar stains, but the cup was also stuffed with cigarette butts.

The waiter delivers Neo a roster of people who deliver coffee.

Neo sat down on the sofa with the roster and said to Karen, "I invited you to drink during the day, and you invited me to coffee at night."

"Okay, Captain."

"Well, so be it, eight on this page, plus a fruit bowl and drinks, by the way, is there coffee here?"

"some."

"Add a pot of coffee."

"Okay, sir, are you sure you want eight?"

"Sure."

"Okay sir, wait a moment."

The waiter went out to make arrangements.

"By the way, have you brought Rael?" Neo asked.

Karen shook her head.

"It's a coincidence, I didn't bring Rael with me." Neo smiled slightly, "If you can't settle the bill by then, you can only be deposited here."

The waiter pushed open the door, and eight beauties with heavy makeup walked in and bowed to Karen and Neo who were sitting on the sofa.

"Hello gentlemen, it's a pleasure to serve you."

"Well." Neo pointed to the surroundings and said, "In a quarter of an hour, clean up this place, even if you have served."

The eight beauties were stunned.

At this time, the front desk manager walked in and instructed, "According to the instructions of the guests."

The eight beauties began to clean the room.

Karen looked at this scene and thought it was a little funny, but she still reached out and called the front desk manager.

"Guest, what are your orders?"

"Give me paper and pen."

"good."

Cullen wrote the phone number of the Pavaro Funeral Society on it and threw it to the manager:

"Please call this number, tell him that the young master is here, and let him come with the money."

"Okay, sir."

The manager guessed that this should be a son-in-law who came here to play, and son-in-law generally doesn't like to bring money.

After staring at these beauties and finishing the room cleaning, the manager took them and the waiter out. Then, the manager returned to the front desk, picked up the receiver, and dialed the number on the note.

It should be a manor or a senior steward who answered the call.

"Hello, Pavaro Funeral Society is happy to serve you."

"……"manager.

Karen poured coffee for herself and Neo, added two sugar cubes to each, then picked up a spoon and began to stir gently.

Neo took a sip of coffee, put down the cup, looked at Karen and asked:

"Now, does it start?"

"If you are ready, Captain, then we can start now."

Neo leaned back slightly on the sofa, his hands in his pockets.

Karen knew that this was a defensive posture of self-defense.

"Should I speak first?" Neo asked.

"I can ask."

"Okay, you come and ask."

"Captain, have you encountered some troubles now, and there is no way to solve this trouble in a direct way for the time being?"

"I don't think it's a problem, and, at the moment, I haven't found a reason to fix it."

"In other words, its existence is acceptable to you?"

"Yes, I'm trying to reach out and understand it.

"Has it always been like this?"

"No, exactly, it started after Eliza died."

"Before Miss Eliza left, this problem also existed?"

"Yes."

"What was your attitude towards it at the time, did you reject it or ignore it on purpose?"

"neglect."

Karen nodded and said, "Did Miss Eliza's departure take away the last line of defense in your heart? I mean, for it, this has always been a problem."

Neo spread his hands and said as a matter of course: "I feel that after losing a piece of my heart, I should find something to fill it."

"Can it be filled?"

"It's not clear, I'm trying to verify and contact."

"Then we can visualize it as a metaphor. What can it be compared to, a big meal that takes a long time? A mysterious and charming woman? A very heavy book?"

"Book."

"What kind of book is, as I said, 'heavy'?"

"Wide and thick?"

"It can also refer to the content."

"Not at all. It's like a novel. It's not that charming, and it doesn't make me forget to eat, drink, and sleep to read it, but I can accept the initiative to reach out and turn a few pages in my spare time."

"So, are you looking at it from a bystander's point of view?"

"Well, otherwise, can I still have a great sense of substitution for things that are not mine?"

Karen picked up the coffee, took a sip, put it down, leaned back on the sofa slightly, and looked at the captain sitting opposite him, with a contemplative expression.

Through the previous communication, Karen has a feeling that his original understanding of the captain seems to have a deviation from the starting point, and the result of this initial deviation is that the more it spreads out, the more outrageous it is.

"What's wrong?" Neo asked, "Is the problem serious?"

Karen frowned, "You're not lost."

"Huh? Who said I was lost?"

"You are... playing."

Hearing this sentence, Neo's eyes widened immediately, staring at Karen.

At this moment, Neo's upper body was clearly sitting upright, and his hands were naturally hanging, like a standing cobra.

Karen kept her original posture, and only in this way could she lower her opponent's vigilance.

This is not to say that the captain is fortifying himself. In fact, it can be seen that the captain is really actively trying to receive psychological counseling, but human nature is common in many places. Karen knows that it is what he said just now. Captain's heart.

People's desire to protect their secrets in the depths of their hearts far exceeds the protection of their own bodies by clothes.

Gradually, Neo began to relax his body, picked up a sliced ​​orange and brought it to his mouth, and said while eating:

"I now believe those psychiatrists are not all so-called liars."

"It's just because I know something about you, Captain."

"You've been watching me?"

"Yes, it is."

"Why?"

"There are not many people around me, and there are actually fewer interesting people."

"Oh, I see."

Neo pointed to the fruit plate and said, "The fruit is very fresh."

"Okay." Karen also took a piece of orange and put it in front of her. Instead of eating it, she took out a tissue and wiped the two fingertips that had previously held the orange.

"You're right, I might actually be playing, as you said you're watching me, but I'm watching it too."

When he said this, Neo pointed to his chest.

Karen noticed that the captain didn't point to his own face.

"Right now, there are probably two possibilities."

"Well, you talk about it."

Karen poured the remaining half cup of coffee in front of him into the beer mug next to him, and the two liquids of different colors began to merge.

Neo asked:

"You mean, after pouring coffee into beer, does this cup taste coffee or beer?"

Karen shook her head.

"what does that mean?"

Karen held up the beer mixed with coffee and placed it in front of Neo:

"You can take a sip and see, mainly to see if you like the taste."

The two sat face to face, both staring at the slightly grey beer.

"I don't know," Neo said, "because it's unpredictable, so I can't answer."

"But that's the point, captain, and the result is likely to continue.

, is not something you can grasp and perceive. "

Neo smiled and asked:

"So, in life, can the outcome be predicted?"

Karen was silent.

"The samsara religion likes to preach that this life is destined, and everything is just to prepare for the next life after reincarnation, but is this kind of life really interesting?"

Neo picked up his glass,

continued:

"Many people will like stability, and many people will hate change; but I, you, and our team are not actually such people. There has always been an inescapable anxiety and restlessness in our soul, and they will refuse us to choose eternity. An unchanging life."

Neo raised his glass and took a sip.

"what……"

Neo looked at the wine glass mixed with coffee in his hand and said with emotion:

"It's really hard to drink."

Karen nodded and said, "In fact, Captain, you don't have any psychological problems, you are very awake."

"Oh?" Neo smiled, "I thought this sentence should be the last to say, so I don't have to pay for the treatment."

"You are walking soberly into the depths of the lavcovered volcano, but this is your personal choice, and no one can comment.

I walked safely over and over with the circular railing in my hands paralyzed, and walked into the depths of the flame step by step with a sober appreciation of the scenery on the road, even if the final end was to completely devour myself...

These two paths of life are actually indistinguishable from good and bad. "

"What about you?" Neo asked. "What's your choice?"

"I was just looking at the scenery," Karen said.

"What about your future? Where's the end of the road you're walking on?"

"I have no idea."

"Hehe, don't you think that the unknown is actually the most terrifying?"

Karen looked at Neo, shrugged, and said, "Captain, if you continue to ask questions like this, should I pay for your treatment?"

Neo spread out his palms and said, "Brightness - a reference."

A soft light circle appeared in Neo's palm.

Neo looked at Karen and said, "I think if we continue to chat, we will touch on the real secrets of both parties."

Karen nodded and said, "Yes."

"I promised you that I would not take the initiative to spy on your secrets, and I have always done so, I can guarantee it."

"I can feel it, thank you, Captain."

"But it doesn't include us taking the initiative to tell our secrets. Maybe, we can try to exchange secrets with each other, what do you think?"

Exchange... secrets?

Karen looked at Neo, and between the two, because of the circle of light, the appearance of each other became a little blurry.

"Take this circle of light over if you want."

Karen didn't do it, but asked, "Captain, I'm curious, why do you do this?"

"Because you used your performance to tell me that you are worth a secret exchange with me, which is an equivalent transaction. The most important thing is, you don't think that we continue to play this guessing game between the two of us. If so, will it be torturous?"

"It's torture."

"Instead of continuing to guess and guess, analyze and analyze, let's be honest about the secret."

Karen bit her lip.

"You hesitated so much, hehehe." Neo smiled, "How big is your secret, are you worried that you will suffer?"

"Just before tonight, I wasn't mentally prepared."

"Well, let's take it step by step, divide our secrets into layers and stages, cut them up, treat them as pieces of chips, and place them on the gaming table bit by bit. If the stakes are equal, then we can Keep playing, what do you think?"

"Okay, I agree."

Karen reached out and took over the circle of apertures, which still bloomed.

Seeing this, Neo asked, "Who should start first?"

"I keep calling you Captain."

"Okay." Neo rubbed his face, "Then we have to go to a place first. Has that servant of yours come to send money?"

"It shouldn't be here yet."

"Then let's go first. He will pay the bill anyway, and we are not evading the bill."

"OK, all right."

Neo stood up and walked to the deepest part of the room. Karen followed and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Then,

The two of them turned into a black mist and floated out.

It was still the VIP car, and the captain was still driving.

Karen in the passenger seat

Looking out of the car window, some parts of the city are lively, but in general, it is still sleeping.

"You go back now, it's still too late," Neo said. "When I start betting, you can only call."

"The meaning of secret existence is to be spread."

Neo nodded: "Indeed, spreading is the only attribute of secrets. In fact, we showdown some things with each other, which is also to reduce the loss of time and energy for each other. When we use the light in front of each other, That means it has to go this far.”

"I know, I understand, and I like keeping secrets all night."

"Oh, by the way, there is another person in the basement of the photo studio. She is the angel of the Light God Cult, her name is Bertha."

"Bertha?"

"you recognize?"

"know."

"Don't worry, she doesn't know it's you, but you need to get used to wearing a mask next time you perform a mission, because what you can see may not only be the mission target."

"Yes, Captain, I remember."

"I didn't kill her, I asked her to help me investigate some things now."

At this time, Karen found the street where the car was driving gave him a sense of familiarity. Here he often came, the city center of York City, King's Road.

Then, the car stopped.

"I think you should be very interested in this." Neo said while turning off the car, pointing out the window.

Karen turned her head and looked at the store's number: Lemar Ceramics Museum.

So, the last time the captain deliberately got off the car near here and said to go home, was he taking the initiative to imply that he was here?

I saw Neo's portrait in the collection room in Mr. Lemar's workshop that night, and it was placed next to Mr. Pavaro's portrait.

Karen followed Neo out of the car. The door of the store was locked, but this kind of door lock can only prevent ordinary thieves.

I saw Neo gently hooked his fingers, and the door lock inside fell directly, but when the door was opened, the eyes of the pottery puppets on both sides suddenly glowed red. Neo waved his hand, and the red in the eyes of the dolls The light was instantly shrouded in a layer of fog.

"I can tell them to open the door."

"You better not let them see me with me, put on your mask."

"OK."

Karen touched the ring on her fingertips, and a silver mask covered Karen's face, which also changed his temperament.

At this time, Karen saw Mr. Lemar come out with an axe, but did not see Serena, who should have been arranged by Lemar in the bedroom and not allowed her to come out.

Karen noticed that Mr. Lemar was shaking as he looked at Neo, who was not wearing a mask.

"Yes...is it you?"

Neo said, "I'm going to take my friend to your collection."

"I thought you were already dead, but I didn't expect you to continue to live with this face, hehe, but do you think my studio is a place where you can enter if you want?"

"I don't mind taking your sister away again, she should be grown up, I mean, her soul."

"you……"

Lemar took out the key and threw it on the table.

Neo picked up the key and said, "You can go upstairs and continue to rest. You can come down after we leave. I won't steal your things. You should trust me on this point."

Lemar gave Neo a vicious look, then walked upstairs with the axe.

Neo took Karen to the basement. After opening the door with the key, the two walked in. Obviously, Neo had been here before and was familiar with the layout.

Mr. Lemar hated and trusted Neo, using Serena's analogy, like a girlfriend punching your chest and shouting "I hate you".

Finally, two people stood in front of the wall covered with portraits.

"Do you believe in fate, Karen?"

"Depending on the situation~www.mtlnovel.com~ I appreciate Pavaro's persistence and integrity, and then he recommended you, although not in the form of a recommendation letter.

Then, the shop where you used Pavaro's face as a mask was actually the same one I chose. "

"Really, by coincidence."

Neo took out a ring from his pocket and put it on his fingertip. This ring is not plastic.

"Have you always been curious, what kind of face is under my mask?"

"Yes."

"Okay, here's my first bet."

The ring Neo just put on gave off a slight glow, and he was also covered with a layer of light. Karen knew that this was the mask that was taken off.

Karen's eyes immediately moved to Neo's face, and Neo, at this time, took the initiative to turn to Karen and let his face,

Presented to Karen.

"how is this possible……"

Karen took two steps back.

"Are you surprised?" Neo said with a "smile", "It seems that you are very satisfied with my round of betting."

In front of Cullen, Neo's face...was a piece of blood that seemed to solidify, which made Cullen's mind instantly flash the picture of Mr. Pavaro taking the initiative to cut off his own face with his fingernails that night.

"The mask you asked Lemar to make, the face material used is..."

Neo nodded,

road:

"Yes, it's my own face."

There is still at night, ask for a monthly pass!
