…………

Yu Peng's mind was very confused, and he was a little confused about the current situation.

A few hours ago, he was quarantining at home because of the pandemic in 2020.

couldn't go out to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, his wife and children went back to his parents' house, Yu Peng, who was alone, silently turned on the tablet, took off his pants and lay on the bed, opened the net disk, and clicked on a movie.

It's Martin Scorsese's The Irishman, in which 70-year-old Robert De Niro and Al Pacino come back to life, using the latest special effects technology to bring their faces back to middle age, telling the story of Italian gangs in the 50s and 60s.

The movie is long, three and a half hours, and it's what Martin Scorsese does best, or is it the familiar flavor, it's just a little old.

Computer stunts can fix the actors' faces, but they can't fix their demeanor and movements, and the two legendary actors are still old in the video.

Time will never come back, it's a good movie, but it's a bit out of place. "The Irishman" lost the Oscar race for Best Picture to South Korea's "Parasite" and was a no-brainer after receiving multiple nominations.

Yu Peng held the tablet and watched the performances of De Niro and Pacino, feeling the afterglow of the gangster movies that have been handed down since "The Godfather" in the 70s of the last century, and fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long I slept, Yu Peng's eyes opened in a daze, and he felt that it was pitch black in front of him.

Yu Peng thought to himself, how long have I been asleep, it's all night? Then Yu Peng felt that his head hurt very much, as if something was stirring in his head, and he felt that he couldn't remember who he was and what his name was.

He got up from the bed, his eyelids were very heavy, his mouth was very dry and dry, he wanted to get up and go to the living room to drink some water, and found that his legs were very heavy, and it took a lot of effort to get up.

"Why does the bed feel so low? My head hurts, oh no, I won't get infected, right? It doesn't make sense, I haven't been out all the time......" Yu Peng's mind was messy, he touched the door frame and came out, and then felt that something was wrong.

There is a problem with the location of this door, the door of the room and the living room at home is not in this direction, and the feel of the door is not right, how is it metal?

Yu Peng groped his way forward, his eyes were hard to open, he felt that he was not in his own living room, certainly not. What did he touch? Looks like a metal pot? Or a basin? Where is this? Is it in the kitchen? He struggled to open his eyes, and felt a light shining through, like a door, a door that shone through the cracks.

Suddenly, his eyes went dark, and something rushed to his head, and then the feeling of the world spinning hit him, and he felt unsteady and about to fall. Yu Peng tried to grab something, he reached out to grab it, but he still sat down on the ground, and by the way, he brought a bunch of things to the ground, and made a loud noise.

There was immediately a commotion outside, what was the situation? Someone at my house? Are the wife and children back?

Yu Peng sat on the ground, rubbing his head vigorously, he felt that his consciousness seemed to be split, and his thinking became particularly unsmooth.

He struggled to think of his name, of where he was, and then heard someone outside shout, "Arthur! Is that you Arthur？ (Arthur?) Is that you, Arthur? ）

Why is someone speaking English? Who is he talking to?

Yu Peng was still thinking about this question in his mind, but his mouth moved uncontrollably, "Yes, it''s me!" (Yes, it's me!) ）”

Yu Peng was stunned, he was surprised not that he could speak English (yes, it's me, his son could say this), but his voice, which was not his voice, not at all.

At this time, Yu Peng heard the sound of the door being opened, followed by a "snap", his eyes lit up suddenly, Yu Peng lowered his head, felt that his head was not so dizzy, it was still a little painful, and then someone walked towards him.

Yu Peng heard him say two words, but he didn't understand much in a daze, as if he had said something like "ass" (ass) and "fxxk".

Then this man came to him, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yu Peng's arm and pulled him up, Yu Peng felt that his head was no longer dizzy, and he could stand up. At the same time, he opened his eyes, and then saw in front of him an old foreign man with a bald head and a high nose, and this old man was also looking at him.

Then the old man reached out and put his arm around his shoulder, looking very intimate, and said, "Arthur, have you wanted to join the family business?" Now here is a chance. You don''t wanna be a cook all your fxxking life， do you?“ (Arthur, haven't you always wanted to be a part of the family business?) Now there's an opportunity in front of you, would you like to give it a try? You don't want to be a cook for the rest of your life, do you? )

English again? Look at the old man's appearance again, or is it a foreigner? Why aren't you wearing a mask yet? Which country are you?

Then Yu Peng realized that he could understand, and a terrifying thought quickly popped up in Yu Peng's mind, "I'm not myself anymore." The reason for this idea was simple, because he was thinking in English himself, and his mind was jumping out of English words one by one.

"What the hell is going on here? Where is Lao Tzu? Who is Lao Tzu? ”

Yu Peng was stunned in place, squatted down with his arms around the foreign old man, picked up something from the ground, handed it to Yu Peng, and said, "Arthur, are you gambling again, are you?" Put it away and come with me, you won't have to go out in the future. ”

Yu Peng saw that the old man was holding four playing cards, a 2 of hearts, a 3 of spades, a 6 of grass flowers, and a J of squares. He took the cards from the old man's hand, and looking at the four playing cards that inexplicably appeared behind him, Yu Peng felt that his mind gradually cleared up.

Arthur, Arthur Luciano.

The name that popped into Yu Peng's mind first came to mind, and it was the name of the person he had the body he had now.

Yu Peng realized that he had crossed over, it was really a dog, he watched a movie, slept a little, and crossed over?

"It's not going to be in the movies, is it? Which movie is this? Arthur Luciano, what does it feel like the name of the movie character. ”

Yu Peng usually watches all kinds of movies, serious and improper, and the name Luciano, as well as the scene in front of him, if it really enters the movie, it should be a serious movie.

Memories of this body flooded back, and the old man in front of him was his uncle, Tony Luciano.

And this is the kitchen of Tony's restaurant, where Arthur works, and is a cook of Italian food!

"This turned out to be a cook." Yu Peng has begun to take a serious look at his new body and consciousness.

For this kind of thing, Yu Peng is still relatively calm, and if it comes, it will be safe, and maybe it is a dream? Besides, I crossed in my sleep, and I didn't fall off the cliff after being hit by a car, maybe I still have the original world, so my parents, wife and children don't have to worry, let's take care of the things in front of me first.

Human adaptability is very strong, and many situations that seem incredible in imagination can be accepted and survived. Think about it, how the human race appeared in this world, it is a mystery, the human race is not still thriving well, and occasionally a small number of people want to die or live, which does not affect the tenacious survival of most people.

Yu Peng was one of those people, who took the four cards from Tony Luciano and stuffed them into his pocket.

A strong hunch told him that these four cards had a lot to do with where he was now.

He then followed Tony out of the kitchen and into the hall of the dining room, at the round table lit with a lamp.

Yu Peng, also known as Arthur Luciano, met Humpty Massino in a sweatshirt, Gigandi in a linen shirt, and the "staff officers" and "thugs" who could only be seen in the darkness outside the lights.

Arthur knew in his heart that these people were all mafias, the leaders of several families in New York, and it would definitely not be good for them to get together.

Arthur's father, Luther Luciano, used to be the head of the Luciano family, and died in an accident when Arthur was only 5 years old. Berbertoni took over the family, and Arthur and his mother became orphans and widows. His mother was still Chinese, and his grandparents were laborers in the United States.

"No wonder it can be crossed over to him, it turns out that he is half of Chinese blood, and that's really right." Arthur thought to himself.

At this time, Massino and the others were also staring at Arthur up and down, because Tony made a suggestion, he said: "This is my nephew Arthur, absolutely reliable, absolutely intelligent, he will be the best person to complete the task." ”

Marcino and Gigandi glanced at each other, they had heard of Tony's nephew, a young man who was idle, had no tendons, and had no skills, mixed in his uncle's restaurant as a mediocre cook, in the "second generation of black, third generation of black" is considered a more miserable kind of mix.

Marsino said, "Arthur, is it Luthor's son?" If he's like Luther, I'd believe him. ”

Gigandi said, "He is your only nephew, are you sure that he should be allowed to do this work?" ”

Arthur overhears their conversation and leans over and asks Tony, "Uncle, what's the job?" ”

Tony said, "Deliver smoked fish pizza to a customer." ”

Smoked fish pizza? Arthur didn't know that there was such a pizza, and Americans had this way of eating it? How does it feel like a spicy tofu bun.

Tony said to Marcino and the others: "Arthur was indeed not very conspicuous in the past, but now that he has grown up, he will change when he grows up." He recently wanted to get into the family and I think it was an opportunity for him. Isn't it Masino, before you took over the family, didn't you ever wear pants and bare-ass when you were young? “

Massino blushed his neck to retort, but Gigandi gave him a win, clenching his fist and swallowing the breath. Because neither of them wants to assassinate Abramo, it's okay to say if they succeed, but it's troublesome to be targeted if they fail.

Now that Tony has pushed his nephew out, both Massino and Gigandi know in their hearts that this is to send their nephew to death. If this kid can really kill Abramo, according to the aftermath arrangement, he will be sent out of New York to Canada or South America for a while. If he fails, Arthur may die on the spot, or flee back and give it to Abramo as a bargaining chip for "peace".

And even if the first scenario happens, it is not difficult to imagine what will happen to Arthur once he leaves New York.

It's cruel to think about it, it's obviously his nephew, but he wants to push him to such a dead end.

But both Massino and Gigandi know how Arthur's father died in the first place, and how Tony got to the position of the family boss, and the inside story of this may only be unclear in the mind of Arthur himself.

With such a growing "Hamlet" by his side, Tony was of course uneasy, who knew that tonight when the assassination plan was being discussed, this unpromising guy happened to be sleeping in the kitchen warehouse, which was a godsend.

"Neither I nor Marsino have an opinion, so I'll leave the details to you, and Arthur. Again, I'll cover all the costs, good luck, kid. Gigandy spoke, he got up and walked over to Arthur, touched Arthur's face with his hand, and then hugged and touched Tony's face in greeting, he was leaving.

Massino did the same and gave Arthur a deep look with a hint of banter and sympathy in his eyes.

The two left with their subordinates, all they had to do was decide who was going to do it, and as for how to do it, they didn't need to know and they didn't want to know.

The less they know, the safer they are for themselves, and if the plan fails, they can try to clean it up.

Only Arthur and Tony, Tony's military advisor Casey, his bodyguard Russell, and his most trusted subordinate Montolo were left in the restaurant.

Arthur was summoned to a round table by Tony to sit down, and in the corner of the dining room, the lamp was the only light in the darkness. Everyone else disappeared into the darkness, hearing the "squeak" of the door and knowing that the rest of the family had left. Tony's face was even more gloomy in the light and darkness, he already had a hooked nose and a bald head, like a vulture.

Casey has thick hair, and he combs his standard big back head, and the hairspray keeps the hair in order. He sat next to Tony, and he was as obedient to Tony as he was to his hair, and the two were a great match.

Montolo, a fat man with curly hair, sat not far from the round table with a stool, and only Russell stood with his hands crossed in front of his crotch. Russell is tall and has a serious face, he has been a soldier, he has been to Vietnam, he is not Italian but German, but this does not prevent him from becoming Tony's personal bodyguard, he is really very skilled.

Arthur's eyes swept over their faces one by one, turning over the memories of them in his mind.

Tony looked at Arthur with his hands folded, he was waiting for Arthur to ask, but Arthur didn't say a word for a long time.

It's not like him, Arthur has always been a babbling, brainless young man, much like his brother Luther. has a straightforward temper and no heart, but he is soft-hearted to women and is very righteous. It was by taking advantage of this that Tony took out his own brother.

Finally, Tony couldn't help it and asked, "Arthur, don't you have any questions to ask?" ”

Arthur reacted, thought for a moment, and asked, "Oh, question, yes, I have a question." "There are a lot of problems in his heart, who hasn't been full of problems when he just crossed over.

Arthur paused, thought for a moment, and asked the answer he wanted to know the most.

"Now, how many years is it?"

"What?" Tony didn't expect Arthur to ask such a question, thinking he had heard it wrong, don't you kid ask what the hell is going on? Do you really think it's a smoked fish pizza?

"Well, I'm asking, what time is it, what year is it, what time is the month, what time is it, my mind is a little drowsy."

"Fxxk, you stupid boy, I think you're gambling confused. It's 12:23 a.m., March 25, 1994. Tony looked at his watch and replied.

“1994？ It's 1994? It turned out to be 1994. ”

Yu Peng knew that if it wasn't for the dream, he would have traveled to the United States in 1994.

But what was there in 1994? What happened? He is not in China, and he can't go back for the time being, so what can he do?

As a sports fan, for 1994, only three things flashed in Yu Peng's mind: 1. The NBA Houston Rockets won the championship. 2. The Brazilian team won the World Cup in the United States. 3. The Chinese A-League is officially professionalized.

But what does all this have to do with him? Yu Peng didn't know, at this time he inexplicably remembered the four cards in his pocket, and that strong premonition hit him again, but he couldn't think of anything, as if someone had hidden something in his head, but he didn't let him open it.

"Hey Arthur! Is that just such a stupid question? Tony saw that Arthur was in a daze again, and he was sure that this nephew would not be able to complete the task nine times out of ten, and had already begun to plan how to throw him out and arrange the aftermath.

"Oh no, no, oh, I have other questions, other questions, uh...... I would like to ask, how to make smoked fish pizza? ”
