Chapter 3: The Goat's Horns

When Arthur walked out of the restaurant, Luciano, it was the middle of the moon, at 1 a.m.

He didn't want to sleep in that aggrieved little warehouse in the kitchen, he wanted to go home. His family lived in an apartment building in Little Italy, his father's legacy, where the Luciano family's ancestors lived when they came to New York.

Later, the family prospered, and the family moved to the wealthy area of Long Island, where Arthur Jr. grew up.

After Luthor's unexpected death, the family lost their breadwinner, so they had to sell their property and move back to Little Italy, where they lived in their ancestral home.

Five years ago, his mother Chen Wenjing died of illness, leaving Arthur alone, Arthur was only 18 years old that year, graduated from high school, and could not be admitted to university, so he had to go to his uncle's restaurant to learn to be a cook, which is considered to have a craft of eating.

Tony has never allowed Arthur to get involved in the family business, which is called protection, but in fact it is to plunder his brother's inheritance.

Arthur's brain is not very bright, and there is no one to help, so he can only live in the back kitchen, relying on pickling girls and gambling to pass the time.

He had an empty mind, inheriting only his father's recklessness and passion, but not shrewdness and ability. Because of the color of her skin, her mother has always been cautious, trying to survive in the cracks, giving Arthur enough love, but lacking education and training.

Influenced by his mother, the reckless Arthur has a gentle side when facing women, and he began to talk about his girlfriend in middle school, and he is just 23 years old this year, and his girlfriend has changed to a rugby team.

When he came out of the restaurant, Yu Peng took a picture of his new body in the glass window of the restaurant by the roadside lights, and he was really an out-and-out mixed-race handsome guy.

Because of the Oriental blood, the nose is not as exaggerated as the big one, and the eye sockets are not as deep as the sunken, neutralizing the three-dimensional of the Italians and the softness of the Chinese, quite a bit of Keanu Reeves.

He was born with a big skeleton, young and well-proportioned and powerful, even if his life was a little indulgent, the good genes left to him by his father still made him strong and upright.

Therefore, although Massino and the others knew that this was a bastard boy who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, when they saw his good skin, they would also think in their hearts, "Maybe this kid can do it?" ”

From ancient times to the present, from China to foreign countries, the point of looking at faces has always been unchangeable.

Yu Peng – Oh no, Arthur followed his memories and walked home, turning a few streets and getting there. The quiet Little Italy Quarter in the early hours of the morning, with dim street lights and Arthur walking unhurriedly along the streets, has a centuries-old street history and has been inhabited by Italian immigrants since the 19th century.

Many movies have been filmed here, especially those with Italian gang backstories, and Yu Peng has seen a lot of them - "The Godfather", "Once Upon a Time in America", "Bad Streets", "Raging Bull", ......

Come here in person...... To be honest, I didn't feel anything, because Yu Peng used to travel abroad to New York and visit Little Italy, but that was more than 20 years later. More than 20 years later, not much has changed compared to now.

Arthur sorted out the memories and information in his mind as he walked, first of all, Yu Peng felt a little unbelievable about the consciousness and memory that this body has: this person's brain seemed to be really empty, because he had no thoughts.

Anyone should have a mind, and even an illiterate person who has not read a book will have his own opinion about the world.

But it turns out that in Arthur's memory, there are only "pictures and feelings", that is to say, his life is like a camera and sensor, recording everything he has experienced, without any processing, and naturally without thought.

His reaction to events and characters does not come from consciousness, as if it is just an instinct. Anyway, Yu Peng thought so after analyzing it, he couldn't find Arthur's self-consciousness, maybe his consciousness had been wiped out because of his own crossing?

I don't know, Yu Peng is also wearing it for the first time, he has no experience, and he didn't have personal guidance or anything before wearing it.

Of course, Yu Peng vaguely felt as if he had a dream, and someone was talking to him, but he couldn't remember what he was talking about.

"It's okay if you don't have consciousness, if you are conscious, I may be affected, just collect your memory, anyway, I feel that in addition to picking up girls, you have lived a very sad life for more than 20 years." Yu Peng thought to himself.

Thinking about Arthur's experience, Yu Peng is a little sympathetic, but thinking about the fact that many people in their twenties have never even soaked in a girl, I am afraid it is even more sad.

The second thing to think about is, of course, to assassinate Abramo.

Just after being in the store, Tony Luciano told Arthur the general content of the plan, and said that after this mission, Arthur will be able to officially participate in the family business, and will no longer be a cook, but a small boss with a head and a face.

If this was the original Arthur, maybe he would have believed it, but replaced it with Yu Peng? I believe you're a ghost.

Yu Peng also came stupidly in his twenties, because he entered an insurance company after graduating with a low education, beat for two years, and went to sell silver - no, he sold precious metals and silver, and he also engaged in P2P, and created a business to engage in the Internet.

Later, Yu Peng felt that it was not a way to go on like this, in fact, his middle school reading results were quite good, but later he watched Jianghu movies such as "Crazy Boy", and felt that reading was useless, it was better to mix with society, and he didn't study hard, but he was not admitted to a junior college in his undergraduate.

After a few years of hardship in the society, he realized that reading was useful, and decided not to fool around anymore, relying on his savings to take the college entrance examination, and then took the civil service examination, and finally let him be admitted - a teacher at the local party school, and participated in public management positions!

After that, the days were on the right track, buying a house, getting married, having children, and living a good life, how do you know that when you wake up, you will become a black second generation? is still a black second generation with no power, no power and no money.

It's really emotional to think about it, a young man who watched "The Crazy Boy" and refused to study hard, after entering the society, he was deceived and deceived into finance, engaged in entrepreneurship, experienced ups and downs, turned back as a prodigal son, studied hard, entered the party school to engage in political and ideological work, and carried out spiritual civilization construction.

What does this mean? This shows that capitalism turns people into ghosts, while socialism and the party turn ghosts back into people.

But now that I have suddenly entered the stronghold of capitalism, do I want to break through US imperialism from within and let the red light shine on the land of America?

Yu Peng felt that he didn't have this ability, so let's survive first, there is a saying, Gou... Gou Quan's life is in troubled times. Judging from the memories of this body, his Berbertoni Luciano is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it seems that the death of his father Luthor Luciano has something to do with him.

As for how to deal with the assassination of Abramo, Arthur has no idea for the time being. Tony tells him that Casey will be looking for him tomorrow and will tell him the specific execution plan.

Thinking like this, Arthur still walked to the door of the house, a four-story apartment building, standing at the staircase on the first floor, Yu Peng thought that there was still a trouble to face, that is, Arthur's girlfriend.

This Arthur can't do anything else, the pickled girl really has a hand, she doesn't say anything about mercy everywhere, and she lives with her girlfriend at a young age. Since his mom died, this should be the eighth, with an average of 7.5 months to change one.

Now his girlfriend is a beautiful Italian woman with a big temper, she is still young, she will be angry and jealous because of Arthur's eyebrows and other women, and if there is a slight disobedience, Arthur will not want to go back, and would rather sleep in the kitchen warehouse.

However, Arthur did not move to find other women, from this point of view, Arthur is still good, although his girlfriend is diligent, but he does not step on two boats when he is with each girlfriend, there is no red flag at home, and the colorful flags fluttering outside.

This is not at all in line with the tradition of Italian gang men, no wonder Tony and others look down on Arthur and feel that this is a brat who is trapped by women.

Arthur thought to himself, as long as his girlfriend changes quickly, the title of scumbag can't catch up with me.

Arthur went up to the third floor and took out the key to open the door, only to find that the door was locked.

"Fxxk, why do women like to lock the door, can you lock it for a lifetime? Open the door! Gina! Open the door! ”

The door was locked, and Arthur had to knock hard, he didn't have a cell phone on him, so he couldn't call Gina.

After knocking for a while, Gina didn't open the door, but woke up the neighbor next door. A fat uncle came out in his coat and yelled at Arthur, asking him what he was arguing about so late.

Arthur replied with a string of expletives, and the two of them quarreled in the hallway, when the door of his house opened, and a girl with maroon curly hair pulled Arthur into the house, she was Arthur's girlfriend Gina.

“Fxxk you! Fxxk you! Arthur didn't forget to scold outside when he entered the house, in fact, he wasn't angry in his heart, he just scolded for fun, and by the way, he maintained Arthur's character, because he was usually such a rude person.

Yu Peng, who was a teacher in the party school, was quite elegant, so he didn't spit out fragrance, and now he had to follow the local customs and be closer to Arthur in words and deeds.

Entering the house, Gina glared at Arthur angrily, "Where have you been?" Where have you been again? Are you messing with other women again? Why are you home so late? ”

Arthur glanced at Gina, oh, in a somewhat tight pajamas, and the two headlights looked particularly dazzling in the warm light. But her face is cute and delicate, with the childishness of a girl. Through the light, you can see some fine fluff on the faces of those who do not apply powder, which is not available to girls who are a little older, because cosmetics and skin care products have already corroded the traces of these girls.

Gina is just seventeen years old and still in high school, her parents divorced early, her mother went to Los Angeles, and she followed her father. The father worked as a stevedore at the docks, and after remarrying, he had a daughter and a son, and he ignored Gina. After running away from home once, Gina met Arthur on a motorcycle under the Brooklyn Bridge at night, and the two fell in love at first sight, and Gina got on Arthur's motorcycle and went home with him.

Gina is beautiful, with long wavy hair and a plump figure like her mother. But also because of her beauty, a dock worker simply could not satisfy her mother, who eloped with a man claiming to be a Hollywood director, and sent a court summons for divorce to the family a year later.

Gina's lack of family care, coupled with her first relationship, makes her particularly sensitive and insecure. After spending the initial passion, she often became jealous for Arthur, ran to the restaurant where he worked to check the post, and did not allow Arthur to go out at night, so strong that Arthur didn't want to go home.

Arthur looked at the girl's bulging appearance and bulging figure, and was a little flustered for a while, thinking that this kid was really a blessing. If Yu Peng, who is the same age, crosses over to Arthur, then no matter what, he must first find a way to communicate with her in simple terms.

But now Yu Peng is different, this is a soul with experience, seeing Gina, he can't help but think of the person he liked when he was young, the feeling of suffering from gains and losses, ridiculous and cute.

One day when you really lost him, you realized that when you pin your emotional hopes and your joys, sorrows and sorrows on another person, then you are not far from disappointment and loss.

Since then, he has grown up and will never care about someone like that again, but he still often misses the feeling he used to care, and that feeling is not good, but it is profound.

So, Arthur stepped forward and hugged Gina hard, and immediately felt a sense of fullness and warmth on his chest, which must be a feeling of love, and he said, "I'm not going anywhere, I've always been here, in front of you, next to you." ”

The 17-year-old girl is very coaxing, a hug, a simple word made her let go of all her resentment, and hugged Arthur harder. She wanted to kiss him, but Arthur refused, and put his finger on Gina's lips, "Go to bed early, I'll take you to school tomorrow morning." ”

Arthur was afraid that he would not be able to control himself after the kiss, and he had more important things to do.

Gina blinked obediently, then stuck out her tongue and added Arthur's fingers, then took it to his mouth and bit it gently, making Arthur almost uncontrollable to move his Italian cannon.

Fortunately, Gina was sleepy and didn't bother to go back to her room to sleep, and Arthur sat on the sofa in the living room to cool down.

At this time, he took out the four playing cards from his pocket, a 2 of hearts, a 3 of spades, a 6 of grass flowers, and a J of squares.

That strong feeling came back again, and these cards had a lot to do with my body and coming to this plane.

He took the cards in his hand and looked at them one by one, the 2 of hearts was particularly conspicuous in front of his eyes, and the two hearts... No, hearts, there were originally two hearts on the board, but in Arthur's eyes, the shape was changing, subtly changing, becoming-

Two corners.

Goat's horns.
