Volume 4 Chapter 8 Gambling, Lottery, Lucky People

3

In fact, it did not appear.

At least, so far we have found the figure of the 'Nian Qi God'.

Today is December 21st, and it has reached the winter solstice. I'm still living an ordinary life as always.

"I'm back—"

After school, when I opened the door, I was greeted by a red double ponytail-

"Mercy, I'm hungry—"

and Qin Qin, who looks deflated. She's a 'senior', so she doesn't usually have any classes and sometimes goes home early.

"Why did you run back first, you said you were waiting for me to go home together."

I complained, after all, there was still an agreement with the 'principal'.

"Class—it's so boring, it's not interesting at all, and I don't know any of those classmates."

She pouted, her hair hanging down in frustration.

“…… Qin Qin is okay, can you explain why you are here? ”

"Welcome home."

I'm referring to Su Hongyuan, who is wearing an apron, tying a retro ball head, holding a soup spoon, and standing in my kitchen with a natural face. She bowed deeply to me, like an ancient wife.

"You're probably not a senior."

"Actually, there aren't many freshman classes."

She laughs.

What's going on at this university, is the curriculum specifically for second- and third-year students? I remember when I was in the first grade, it wasn't so idle.

"I'll help you."

It looks like Hirowon is stewing something, and it smells like it's related to potatoes.

"Uh-you help me cut the turnips over there."

“…… Yes, yes, but what are you pausing? ”

"Potatoes and beef."

"Then why cut turnips......

"I want to eat it with raw radishes after it's ready."

…… What kind of cooking operation is this? It's the first time I've seen someone eat this way. Just thinking about that smell makes me feel extremely weird.

"You're pretty creative."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Although I didn't want to praise her.

I'd better stir-fry some more normal dishes......

Potato beef, sweet and sour pork ribs, cumin mutton, mapo tofu. Generally speaking, I only put Sichuan pepper in my mapo tofu, and it is quite delicious to mix it with rice. I just don't know if those two little guests are used to eating.

"Unexpectedly good—"

"It doesn't look good, but I didn't expect it to be good."

Their reviews were surprisingly okay.

"Pity, another bowl."

…… Next time, it seems that I will buy a special big bowl for Qin Qin.

"Hongyuan, what's going on with the 'Nian Qi God'?"

Recently, there has been little movement. The destruction of God is also rarely mentioned.

In the past few weeks, we have resurrected a total of two people: a young father who lives in the North District and is raising his daughter alone, who works as a construction worker and fell to his death during construction last month. The other, a resident of the Sendo neighborhood who died in a car accident last month.

"Wouldn't the sudden resurrection of the dead cause panic?"

That's what I'm worried about.

"In a sense, I just want people to know about it."

“…… What do you mean. ”

"I need more supportive partners. - I even considered going to a TV station to do an advertisement at my own expense. ”

“…… Who else watches TV now? ”

I turned my head, and Qin Qin was watching the animation on TV with relish.

Well, except for her.

"Only if there is a commotion, will anyone pay attention to it."

"It's not good to be too conspicuous, how can you be sure that no one will object to your idea."

"How so...... Except for the bloodthirsty demon of the 'Nian Qi God', how could anyone object to such a thing—I'm saving people. ”

She said with a smile, looking quite confident in her ideas.

Resurrect all the good guys – know that all the bad guys disappear from the world.

Can such a world become a utopian perfect world?

I don't know, and I don't have any ideas.

There are so many secrets in the world that it's not easy to 'change a world'.

There are too many things in the world that cannot be touched, like Pandora's treasure box, the more mysterious and tempting it is, the more it should not be opened.

But—on the other hand, after being reborn and immortal, I always had a thought in my heart that I wanted to create something worth remembering. When I 'die' again, I can feel at ease, I can be relieved, and I can be relieved of the evidence that I once existed in this world. In this sense, standing on Su Hongyuan's side and doing the work of 'changing the world', although it is difficult, it has real meaning.

“……”

This contradiction makes me not know what to do, and now, following Su Hongyuan is indeed a good strategy.

"And then, what about the two resurrected people?"

"WEA-1 can switch channels to listen to them. Unfortunately, listen—"

This guy is actually doing this kind of thing that invades other people's privacy. It's like a spy.

Su Hongyuan took out something in the shape of a headphone and connected the cable to a machine that resembled an MP4 shape.

"This is the young father's channel."

I took one of the headphones, leaned on her shoulder, and the two of us listened together—

It sounded like he was at home, and the voice of a little girl, the voice was quite delicate, it should be a little girl no more than five years old.

"The sound of stir-frying – cooking dinner?"

I said.

"Daddy, Daddy—play with me—"

The voice of a little girl.

"Wait a minute—it's cooking."

The young father replied.

"It's just the daily routine of an ordinary family."

It's unimaginable - if it weren't for Su Hongyuan, it would be impossible to hear such a voice.

"Daddy, Daddy - I don't want to drink that - it's bitter."

It was the voice of a little girl again.

"Good—you must drink it, and I'll eat it with you after drinking."

"Don't have sugar — drink that stuff every day — can you not drink it today?"

"Nope."

The father's voice was quite resolute.

"Hmm-"

The little girl burst into tears.

"What's going on......"

I said puzzled.

"Well, the young father's daughter has a rare disease, and his meager salary is basically on his daughter. His wife divorced him because of this. ”

Su Hongyuan explained.

"So ......?"

"Well, the concept is not compatible, the father is unwilling to give up his daughter, but the wife is against it, so the two divorced."

"That's sad."

The adult world is really realistic.

I thought.

"Eh, this seems to be a lot of fun, yes."

At this moment, Qin Qin, who was watching TV, said to me.

"What ......"

Looking at the TV, an advertisement is playing.

Qianshan West District Hot Spring Entertainment Center - trial operation is in full swing!! Book tickets with your student ID card to enjoy a 20% discount.

Hot spring entertainment hall...... It seems that Qianshan had such a thing before, but the economic level at that time was not as large as it is now, and the people's income was not high, so it could not support such high-end entertainment, so it closed down and resold it less than a year after opening.

"Do you want to play?"

I said, Qin Qin's eyes flashed with love. Nodding excitedly, like a child.

But this ticket price, even if it is discounted, is not cheap. And if you want to play, you have to find a day when there are no classes. The nearest weekend was December 24th, Christmas Eve.

"Hot Springs......"

Xiaohong looked at her regretful chest and sighed.

“…… Don't be too inferior, look at Qin Qin, it's a little worse than you, aren't people just as happy......"

Smack, was beaten.

I rubbed my head and looked at Qin Qin with white eyes.

"You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin."

"The people of the Demon World still use Chinese colloquialisms."

I said sarcastically.

"If you want to go, let's set a date, there is a Christmas party at the school on December 24th, and I promised to go to see it. That's only the 25th free. ”

"Christmas party on the 24th?"

Qin Qin said suspiciously.

This guy doesn't even know this.

"yes, you should have gotten the flyer, too."

"Ahh

She rummaged through her pockets and almost turned her belongings out.

"24's Christmas party, I'm going to go too, I have a best friend to perform."

Hongyuan also said.

"Why do you keep talking about things that Miss Ben doesn't understand......"

Little Red was confused.

"Ah, yes, right?"

Qin Qin showed a leaflet that had been crumpled into a ball, and if he didn't spread it out, I even thought it would be used as snot paper.

"That's right."

"Eh—it doesn't look like much fun, ah!"

She exclaimed.

"What."

"There's a mystery lottery – you can draw with a ticket."

Her eyes lit up as she pointed to the small print on the leaflet.

"So what?"

"It's a 'big draw'! Maybe the prize will be a ticket to the hot spring entertainment center! ”

She said expectantly.

What kind of fantasy is this person thinking?

"Are you a fool? There is no such coincidence as this. ”

"Who is a fool! I'm a genius, yes! ”

"No such stupid genius."

I laughed and sarcastic.

"Oh~?"

Her tone became contemptuous, and she looked rather unconvinced, as expected, she was a child.

"What if?"

"What if——? If that's the case, I'll wear the cosplay costume you brought from the Demon Realm and shout 'Transform' when I meet people on the street." ”

"And put my full name in front of it."

"Absolutely, word for word."

I pursed my lips with a confident expression.

On the 24th.

"It's finally time to reveal the mystery of this lottery——!! Oh la la——! It's actually a ticket to the hot spring entertainment center!! ”

The host shouted excitedly.

Mommy.

Oh, my God.

"I've heard that the newly opened hot spring entertainment hall is very popular! But the ticket price is very expensive, and the number of tickets is limited, so many friends didn't grab it. ”

The moderator said.

"So this time, we specially prepared 'seven tickets', which are enough for seven tickets——! The winner will be determined by a computer lottery! Everyone, pay attention to the number of the admission ticket in your hand——! Maybe you're the lucky one. ”

Qin Qin sat next to me and applauded excitedly.

I also brought Xiaohong over at this party, and she sat next to Qin Qin, but Qin Qin always squeezed on my side. How bad their relationship is.

The thought of cosplaying in women's clothing soon makes me not happy at all.

Besides, even if you guess correctly, what's the use, there are so many people in the venue, and we can't be drawn, let alone us, even one of us is difficult.

"Look at the big screen——! The numbers are rolling. ”

"Oooo

"Lololo—"

The atmosphere at the venue was quite lively.

"Number 15! ——”

"No. 7, No. 358, No. 65, No. 232, No. 405, No. 79. Let's welcome the seven winners to the stage——! ”

"Ahh......h Xiaoqin, what are you? ”

"I'm number 358, what about you?"

"No. 65 ......"

We looked at each other.

Mommy.

Oh, my God.

"What time are you, Xiaohong?"

“…… No. 233. ”

Her eyes were filled with tears.

It hurts to watch.

“……”

So lucky?

This Qin Qin beside me is super lucky?

What's even more weird is that after I stepped on stage, I found out that Su Hongyuan was also among them.

"Why, why are you here?"

"I don't know, I'm number 7."

She showed me the ticket.

“…… Is it such a coincidence? ”

I said.

"And even more coincidentally, look over there, the girl with long hair."

"Eh—who is she?"

"She is the Kawa Mingxue I said earlier, and his 'guardian'."

Hongyuan pointed to a cute girl with super long hair and a boy with dyed yellow hair next to her and a fierce face.

The boy looked a little bad.

I thought, but you can't just judge people by their appearance.

On top of that, I even met someone who surprised me even more.

Yan ...... Lin, you're actually here. ”

Yan Lin is a senior who also belongs to the literary club in her freshman year, her appearance is quite delicate and moving, although she is a boy, she has smooth skin that is not lost to girls, white and tender arms, slender thighs, moving eyes, pink lips, and sometimes even makes me feel shy.

"What the hell is going on......"

"I don't know...... Maybe I need to meet him or her. ”

She must have been talking about the yellow-haired boy.

"Please tell us a little about yourself in turn."

The moderator said.

After that, I knew that the yellow-haired boy was called Xi Zheji, a freshman in economics class 1.
