Thursday afternoon is Zhang Heng's legal daze time.

At this time of the week, he usually doesn't give himself any work, but instead finds a favorite place to nest there and spend his life to the fullest.

This place can be a park, a temple, a museum...... Of course, it can also be like now, a maid café.

Regardless of other factors, the latter is clearly a complete victory in terms of eye-catchingness.

So this is also the place where Zhang Heng goes the most when he is in a daze.

"A cup of forbidden love, and a plate of brother, can't do it today, thank you." Zhang Heng seriously lit up the ghost thing that he didn't know what it was.

"Okay master, wait a minute." The little maid with cat ears crossed her hands, hugged the tray to her chest, and said in a gentle tone.

Specialized! Zhang Heng gave a thumbs up in his heart, the maids in this shop are all part-time college students from nearby schools, and they have a good reputation in the house circle.

In contrast, the owner of the maid café on Chunxi Road was very insincere, and invited a group of old aunts in their thirties and forties to fill up the numbers, and it is said that when there were not enough people, he also tried to go into battle in person, using his thick leg hair to delay the nerves of every customer in the store, not so much eating there as being tortured there.

While waiting for the meal, Zhang Heng casually pulled out a copy of "The Spirit of the Halberd" from the surrounding shelves, and just turned the two pages, a voice came from his ears.

"It's a pity, I still like his previous works a little more."

Zhang Heng looked up and found that there was a stranger opposite him at some point, a short old man wearing a Tang costume but wearing a top hat and tie.

The eyes in the maid's café were immediately attracted to him.

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, "Saeki Jun?" He used to be a [beep] cartoonist. ”

"Then it seems that my memory did not deceive me." The old man cracked his mouth and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, "How has the last month, Zhang Heng, are you still satisfied with my little gift?" Rest assured, the thing you're worried about doesn't exist, and the 24 hours are bonus and won't be deducted from your life. ”

"Did you do it to me?" It must be admitted that the other party's opening remarks successfully attracted Zhang Heng's attention.

"It's not easy for me to do this kind of thing now, but who made you the person I value, I always have to give you some greeting gifts, don't you?" The old man stretched out his hand and grabbed the forbidden love directly from the tray, startling the little maid who had just walked over on the side, who looked at Zhang Heng and asked if he needed to call the police.

Zhang Heng shook his head slightly.

"I'm not going to take advantage of you, you'll still be able to drink your drink after we're done." The old man muttered something a little incomprehensible, and then said, "Now, let's get down to business, I'm still satisfied with your performance this month, and since the probationary period has passed, it's time to talk about the conditions for becoming a regular." ”

"Regularization conditions?"

"Yes, to put it simply, I need you to help me win a game that will pay you a lot of money on its own, and you can continue to use that little gift I gave you."

Seeing that Zhang Heng seemed to open his mouth to say something, the old man waved his hand, "I know your family situation, money is not so tempting to you, not to mention that it is easy to really make money after having this ability, but believe me, what this game can bring you will be far beyond your imagination." ”

"What game?" Zhang Heng asked.

"In the distant past, we used war to settle disputes, simple and effective, oh my God, I miss the bloody and beautiful old days, but times are always evolving, and civilized society should no longer use those barbaric and primitive methods, right?"

The old man drank the cup of forbidden love in his hand in one gulp, "So we now use the game to decide whether we win or lose, after all, it is the nasty guy who sits on the throne now, limited by those ancient agreements, I can't reveal the content of the game to you in advance, strictly speaking, our meeting this time is also forbidden, but don't worry, I can still settle this little trouble." ”

"Since this game is so important, why don't you go and participate in it yourself?"

"As I said before, limited by some ancient conventions, we can't play in person, you are like my agent, I put the chips on you, I will win if you win, I will lose if you lose, the two of us are like grasshoppers on a rope, but my luck is not good, the final ranking in the last few games is not good."

The old man sighed, "As you can see, I'm getting weaker and weaker, so this time I decided to bet early, although this is also very risky, after all, you may also be eliminated halfway." ”

"Who the hell are you?"

Zhang Heng's brother is not good today, oh was also served, it was a plate of baked cookies that were a little burnt, and the color looked suspicious.

"For now, you can think of me as your investor and partner, but as for the future, I can only tell you one thing - the longer you stay in this game, the closer you will get to the truth of the world. Well, we're running out of time, and now, tell me your answer. ”

Zhang Heng looked into the eyes of the old man, the other party had just made a long list of speeches that sounded very middle-of-the-second, which matched the atmosphere of the maid café, but just by being able to shout the name Zhang Heng and knowing everything about him, this somewhat funny guy was probably not joking, and Zhang Heng had to admit that the small gift that the other party gave him was indeed very useful.

This also made him interested in the game that the other party said, so after a while, Zhang Heng spoke, "Sounds interesting, how should I participate?" ”

"It's very simple, let me see which game spot is the closest to your school......" The old man took out a Xiaomi mobile phone from his Tang suit's pocket, opened the Baidu map and clicked a few times, "Sex and the City Bar, Game Point 137, tonight at eleven o'clock, you won't regret your decision." ”

"Oh, I almost forgot." The old man held out a hand, "One last step, make an alliance, and after shaking hands, you will be my man." ”

"And please don't use this bad statement full of ambiguity, I'm starting to regret it." Zhang Heng also stretched out his right hand.

Holding his hands, Zhang Heng felt that he was touching a cold and hard rock.

The old man seemed to be in good spirits, "Beware of the other guys' agents, but you shouldn't be able to touch them in the early game, and besides, no matter what happens, make sure to survive first." ”

"Wait, is this game going to be dead?" Zhang Heng's eyelids jumped.

"No, it's just dying in the game, it's more accurate to say that it should be gone, not only will the body disappear, but all the memories related to you will also disappear, as if it didn't exist at all, I know there's a guy who happens to be good at this kind of thing." The old man said in a bland tone like remembering to buy a bag of salt when he went out.

“…………”

Zhang Heng wanted to say something, but his eyes suddenly became inexplicably in a trance, and the next moment, there was no trace of the old man in front of him.

The little maid not far away was holding a cup of crimson drink, walking briskly this way, and when she smiled, she showed two cute little tiger teeth.

"Master, your forbidden love, please use it slowly~"
