Next Chapter

Luo Zheng moved a small bench and sat at the door, lazily basking in the sun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoBecause there are still classes in class, there are no people on the street at the gate of Dancheng Middle School, and there is no business in the small supermarket in the row at the door.

But even when class is out and after school, the small supermarket where Luo Zheng is located will not have any customers.

This supermarket is very dilapidated, and on the billboard of a spray-painted cloth hanging down above the door, the words "Lao Er Supermarket" are printed in white on a blue background, and the white words are already dirty and gray.

This supermarket was opened by Luo Zheng's second uncle, the second in his family, so he gave this supermarket such a name. The second uncle has no children, he got seriously ill a few years ago, and his daughter-in-law also ran away, leaving this supermarket unattended, and it happened that Luo Zheng had just graduated and returned home, and there was no job for the time being, so the family sent him to help the second uncle look at the store.

The shelves in the supermarket were full of dust, and when Luo Zheng first came, he planned to clean up well, but when he looked at the expired things on the shelves, he didn't bother to take care of them, so he just cleaned up the counter.

As far as Luo Zheng knows, these futures are not backlogged because of the second uncle's serious illness. The second uncle is a money-obsessed and black-hearted person, and it is common to be greedy for small and cheap. The second supermarket's futures are well-known in Dancheng Middle School, except for the ignorant teenager who has just entered the store and is cheated by a wave, other students will not step into this supermarket at all.

At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was warm. The aunt of the small supermarket next door was also sitting at the door, with a porcelain basin at her feet peeling beans. The sanitation workers who had finished cleaning on the street squatted on the curb and talked leisurely. The student who skipped class was stopped by the dutiful doorman, but he forced himself out of the small door with a resolute will to skip class. Everything is as usual, mundane and repetitive.

I have been coming to the supermarket for several days, and Luo Zheng has been basking in the sun every day, watching such and such scenes. Before graduating from school, he once fantasized about a wonderful life in the future, easy or hard, in his fantasy, the world is always ups and downs, colorful. But real life is always like that from time to time.

Luo Zheng knows very well that even if he doesn't come here to see the store after graduation, but finds a job, he will just fall into another ordinary repetitive life.

Sometimes Luo Zheng's heart will have a trace of unwillingness, but what's the use? Although he had unrealistic fantasies, he knew very well that they were just fantasies. Reality is always reality, there will be ups and downs, but repetition, calm and blandness fill most of life.

…… Life is really lonely as snow!

Luo Zheng remembered the words in Wen Ruian's novel. This sentence has now become an outdated condiment used by people when ridiculing on the Internet, but it fits Luo Zheng's current mood very well.

Ordinary loneliness is the most boring.

A middle-aged man in a suit walked into the second supermarket. Luo Zheng was lazily at the door and was about to fall asleep, when he heard the leather shoes stepping into the supermarket, he suddenly came to his senses and turned around and entered the door.

"These are all expired products, I advise you not to buy them." Luo Zheng came into the supermarket, walked behind the counter, and said a word to the man in the suit. He just came to help look after the store, but he didn't want to trick people with expired products like that second uncle.

"Then why don't you close the shop?" The middle-aged man staggered around and asked. His voice was fluttering, and his eyes were a little scattered. Luo Zheng looked at him and felt that this person was a little abnormal, and his heart was a little hairy.

"This shop is not mine. I don't have the right to shut it down. Luo Zheng looked at the middle-aged man and said, hoping that the man would leave soon.

However, the man had no intention of leaving, and asked, "If you had your own store, would you buy and sell counterfeit and expired products like this store?" ā€

"One day my conscience is eaten by a dog, maybe I'll do it." Luo Zheng said, "If you want to buy something, go to the supermarkets on the side, you can do it, those few usually do good business, there should not be many fake and shoddy and expired products." ā€

However, the man still didn't seem to want to leave, and asked, "What would you do if someone made a lot of money and wanted to buy goods that violated the rules?" ā€

"What violates the rules, like these expired things, or is it illegal? I don't have the guts. Luo Zheng shook his head and said, "Uncle, don't entertain me. Do you want to taste what expired food tastes like? I'll pick a few if I want to try them. ā€

The middle-aged man also shook his head and said, "I don't have anything I want to buy, and I don't want to entertain you." I would now like to ask you a few last questions. After asking, I can go on the road with peace of mind. ā€

…… Hit the road? This man is unlucky to speak.

Luo Zheng sighed secretly in his heart, with the intention of coping with things as soon as possible, and said, "What's the problem?" ā€

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and asked, "Do you feel that life is dull and ordinary?" ā€

Luo Zheng glanced at the middle-aged man inexplicably, and wondered if this person was a psychopath. But looking at this guy in a suit and leather shoes, his speech is not unorganized, not very like.

"Yes, there is a lack of love in life, and life is lonely. It's normal. He replied casually, but quietly moved to the doorway, ready to run out as soon as the man was nervous.

The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled, and said, "Do you believe that in this universe, there are infinite worlds, and there are surreal abilities beyond your imagination?" ā€

"If you give me a million, I'll believe it." Luo Zheng said. It seems clear that there is something wrong with this guy.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I won't change it to you for a million." Getting something for nothing will set you up for failure in your life. Let me ask you again, if you had surreal abilities and endless worlds, your life would be less mediocre, would you choose to believe it? ā€

Luo Zheng smiled unconsciously and said, "Yes, there is such a good thing, why don't you want to?" ā€

"Even if your life is going to be in danger because of this, and it will become a lot of twists and turns, will you choose to believe it?" The middle-aged man became more and more energetic the more he asked, took two steps closer to Luo Zheng, and asked again.

Luo Zheng retreated again and again, but replied unconsciously: "It's rare to fight a few times in life, and if you have the opportunity, you don't even dare to fight for your life, isn't it too salty?" ā€

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Let's make another assumption - if there are countless worlds and countless surreal abilities in this world, and you will have the props that travel through countless worlds and provide the surreal abilities of one world to the creatures of the other world, how do you use this prop?" ā€

…… Neurotic or not, the idea is interesting.

Luo Zheng was interested and kept this idea in his heart. I have nothing to do in the future, so it may be a good idea to write a novel with this idea.

His thinking gradually expanded along the middle-aged man's proposal, and said, "Then it's better to open a super agency, use this prop to help others gain some abilities, and collect some intermediary fees by the way." ā€

"Nice idea. So be it. The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's rare to find a match from thousands of worlds, and it's still so suitable in temperament." It's up to you – using your ideas as a template. ā€

"What's that?" Luo Zheng didn't understand.

"You'll know for yourself." The middle-aged man said, suddenly pulling out a pistol from somewhere, "I'll add some restrictions to your thoughts." This is also partly to keep you safe. Take care of your business, or I'll come to you. ā€

Seeing that the middle-aged man pulled off the safety bolt and pulled the bolt, his movements were done in one go, without the slightest ambiguity, and he was obviously very skilled, Luo Zheng quickly nodded and said that he heard it.

This man was nervous, he even had a gun in his hand, and he didn't know how he got it. Regardless of whether it is a real gun or not, Luo Zheng feels that it is better for him to settle down now, there is only one small life, and there is no big mistake in being careful.

However, the middle-aged man did not threaten Luo Zheng with a gun. After loading the pistol, he suddenly aimed the swarthy muzzle of the gun at his mouth, and then opened his mouth.

"Hey! Don't-" Luo Zheng was startled and hurriedly pounced on the middle-aged man.

However, it was too late for him, and the moment he pounced, the middle-aged man pulled the trigger.

Bang -

The gunfire was deafening, and Luo Zheng saw that the flesh of blood was like a blood, blooming at the back of the middle-aged man's head.

"Holy! This is really safe to go! Seeing that the middle-aged man's body was weak and fell to the ground, Luo Zheng's face turned pale, and he turned around and rushed out of the supermarket. Before he knew it, his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He gasped for breath, pulled out his phone, and dialed 110.

However, as soon as he dialed out the two numbers, he glanced back, and in the corner of his eyes, he saw that the supermarket was empty, and the floor was so clean that nothing but dust remained, and there was no blood or corpses at all.

Luo Zheng was stunned for a moment, ran into the supermarket in two steps, and looked left and right. The middle-aged man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and in the supermarket, there was no trace of the existence of the middle-aged man at all.

…… Could it be that I am hallucinating?

Unable to find the body, Luo Zheng had no choice but to hang up the phone. He returned to the doorway and sat down, continuing to bask in the sun, but his mind kept thinking about what had just happened.

The middle-aged man, when he took the gunshot, he still remembered it vividly, everything seemed to be real, how could it be an illusion?

Boom Boom

Suddenly there was a tremor under his feet. Luo Zheng saw that the entire supermarket was emitting blue light, distorting, expanding, and deforming. He was startled and quickly ran out of the supermarket first.

He ran outside the supermarket, and when he turned around, he saw the dilapidated billboard on the top of the door, and he didn't know when it had been renewed. The name "Lao Er Supermarket", which sounds so wrong, has been erased and replaced with five new Chinese characters:

Super Agency.
