CHAPTER XXIX

A small living room, covered with old carpets and warm lighting, with two single sofas diagonally in the middle, a small wooden coffee table in the middle, and a small bench a little farther away, where the charcoal burning in the fireplace occasionally blew up "crackling" sparks.

A man and a woman sit on a sofa.

The man is in his 30s, of medium height, with black hair scattered casually on his forehead, wearing a jacket that can be bought everywhere, and although his face is too angular, he is still handsome. At the moment, he was boredly fiddling with the teacup in his hand.

The woman looks a little older, but she is not more than 35 years old, wearing everyday home clothes, with a very ordinary face, but it can give people a sense of grace and luxury, she is holding a book in her hand, nesting in a comfortable position in the sofa...... Oh, and his hands are beautiful.

Neither of them spoke, only the sound of the pages rubbing and charcoal burning.

……

After a while, the black-haired man probably thought it was too boring, so he asked: "What's going on in the "Black Realm"?

The woman flipped a page of the book and replied casually: "There are not enough volunteers, and there is no progress." ”

"Oh......" the man said lightly, and he couldn't find anything to talk about after that.

So, there was silence again.

……

It was quiet for another five minutes.

Suddenly, the man felt that something was blocking the light from the fireplace, and he slowly raised his head and found that a boy had appeared not far in front of him. At most, he was 15 years old, short and fat, wearing what should be the largest junior sportswear, but he still looked a little small.

"Oh, you're here~" The black-haired man said simply, and then lowered his head and fiddled with the teacup in his hand, as if the sudden appearance of a boy was a very common thing.

The boy took a few steps forward and went straight to the carpet, "It's so early!" He said casually, the obvious overnutrition of the fat made his "sitting" action very clumsy.

"I don't like to make people wait." The brunette man said

The woman had been reading the book and did not want to join the conversation between the two in the slightest.

The boy didn't care about the woman's unanswering, took a lollipop from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and looked at the man, signaling if he wanted one.

The man shook his head and asked, "What do you think of this proposal?" ”

The boy took a sip of the lollipop, took it out and looked at it, and said nonchalantly, "It's good, what else can I do?" ”

The words just fell!

A small space on the carpet twitched, like a TV screen with a bad signal, and then a burly figure stood there.

It was a man, at least two meters tall, wearing a voluminous black suit, through which he could still feel the muscles that were wrapped in it.

But what is incompatible with this figure is that his face is a little fat.

"Hi Hi! It's almost a person, so let's talk about it first. The man clapped his hands and said, looking a little impatient.

The woman on the side frowned, and tried hard to take her eyes off the book: "Don't you wait for him?" She was a little depressed, apparently just reading the interesting part.

"Ahh The man said, "Moreover, he has been busy lately, and I don't know when I will have to wait." ”

The boy didn't speak, but nodded in agreement.

The woman sighed helplessly, although she felt a little unhappy, but she felt that what the man said was very reasonable, so she folded the page with a reluctant face and closed the book!

The boy looked at the woman's nonchalant appearance and couldn't help asking, "You made this proposal, how do you feel that you don't care at all." ”

The woman moved her body, which was a little stiff because she had been reading for a long time, and replied absentmindedly: "You are not stupid! ”

The boy smiled with a lollipop in his mouth.

"Actually, I think you should discuss it with us first, after all, it's not a trivial matter!" It was the burly man who said this, and his voice was a little low, revealing a sense of calmness.

The woman looked helpless: "I said last time that he was going to be executed, and there was no time to discuss it at that time!" ”

The boy sucked the lollipop vigorously, and at the same time quickly pulled the candy out with a small stick, making a "pop" sound.

He chirped and said, "That said, do you think that the group of idiots in the 'Anomalous Biology Research Area' can execute him?" ”

Although the boy's attention was on the lollipop, everyone present could hear it, and the shallow line in his words was: "What are you in a hurry!" ”

The woman didn't care, she looked at the boy with a smile in her eyes, but the others clearly felt the cold hairs on her body.

"What's the matter, are you two going to quarrel again?" The man looked impatient and stopped the two men who were not looking at each other.

Suddenly, the space in the corner of the room flickered again.

An old man appeared and walked towards the crowd.

He was very short, and with a strong hunchback, he looked much smaller than the boy.

"We're arguing again!" He said absent-mindedly, as if he saw the juniors arguing, and wanted to say a few words but couldn't do anything about it.

His eyes were full of exhaustion......

"That's it! Now that you're all together, it's time to start! The man exclaimed, "I think this proposal is good." ”

He raised his hand as if he were attending a "where to play on the weekend" family voting meeting.

The old man brought the little bench from the corner.

"I think everything has to be according to the rules, otherwise there will definitely be chaos!" He said slowly, but earnestly again.

The woman knew that he would definitely say this, so she rolled her eyes helplessly, with an expression of wanting to talk to an old man who was out of place about fashion trends.

"Rules? So what do you want to do? Did you execute him? After waiting for the next madman to appear? Or do you want to lock him up and sink him to the bottom of the sea? She said.

"If that helps, we don't have to bother."

The old man was silent, thoughtful.

Seeing that the old man stopped talking, the boy interjected, "Isn't it good now, there is a man watching him, he can't get out!" ”

The woman glanced at her mouth, in fact, she was quite fond of children a long time ago, until she met this guy.

"It's only temporary, sooner or later he'll be infected, and you're making up for mistakes with mistakes! We're probably going to have to deal with two terrible guys! ”

Everyone present frowned, as if they remembered a very bad memory.

The woman rubbed her head: "Look at what you made out, now that people think he's dead, I can't even imagine the moment when the lie is exposed!" ”

The boy pouted and sucked on the lollipop, made a "squeak" sound, and said, "Actually, just put the ......"

"No way!"

"Veto!"

The old man and the man said almost at the same time, not even thinking about it. Even the stout man who had never been very talkative shook his head.

The woman frowned and stared at the boy: "That little blue fat man can ruin this world!" You know what? ”

She said with some annoyance.

"We've all agreed that the "Dimensional Manifestation" proposal has been terminated and will never be launched again! ”

The black-haired man also interjected: "That's it, our world is enough to worry about!" He had a bitter and bitter expression.

The boy whispered with a face full of grievance, "Oh, I know. I just had a whim, who knew it would turn out like that. ”

The old man's eyebrows and eyes were a little loose, obviously he also felt that the woman's words were very reasonable, but he had always felt a little uncomfortable when he had always been used to following the rules.

So, he asked, "How can you guarantee that he will be honest?" We have no idea what he's thinking? ”

The woman pursed her lips and smiled, "No, we don't need to know what he thinks, we just need to know what he's after......"

The boy said, "Interesting? ”

"Yes, interesting!" The woman nodded:

......

The atmosphere was quiet and people were thoughtful!

The man saw that the other three were silent, and hurriedly urged, "Okay, okay, since you can't do anything about him, then follow him, this is a very simple and effective way to deal with it, in fact, you all think this proposal is not bad, right, then there is no need to waste time!" ”

He doesn't really like this way of thinking about everything, it's not that he doesn't have brains, it's just that he's a very direct person.

The old man's temper was obviously the opposite of his, so he still hesitated and said, "I still don't think it's good to include such a dangerous person, in fact, we can promise him ......"

The woman didn't wait for him to finish, and directly interrupted him.

"Come on, he doesn't have the word promise in his head, for him, restraint and suppression won't help, we can only give him what he wants."

"And he said that he would take in dangerous people...... Which of the Omega Squad isn't dangerous! ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to glance at the black-haired man sitting next to her.

The man smiled, as if he thought it was a compliment!

"Even if we really can't help it in the end, we still have a last resort, don't we?" The woman struck while the iron was hot and added.

The old man thought for a moment.

"Hmm...... All right! The old man nodded and said.

When the man saw that the old man was relieved, he looked very happy, and immediately raised a hand and said, "I agree." ”

The woman also smiled, raised her hand and said, "I agree!" ”

The boy rattled into the already crushed lollipop and raised his hand: "I agree!" ”

The old man thought for a while, and finally raised his hand as well: "I...... Well...... I agree! ”

At this time, everyone looked at the burly man who had never spoken, in fact, everyone knew that he would agree.

Sure enough, he had already raised his hand and said in a calm voice, "I agree!" ”

In this cozy little living room, everyone said the same three words, the same raised hands, like some kind of ritual.

"The proposal passed!" The man said, his tone visibly relaxed.

"It's finally over, I'm still busy over there, let's go!"

"Hmm...... I'm gone, too! The boy said, biting the last piece of lollipop.

......

The flame in the fireplace seemed to be blown by the wind, and it twisted with great amplitude, and then it was extinguished with a "whoosh".

The small living room was empty for some time, as if the five people had never been there at all.

There were still golden-red embers left on the pitch-black charcoal, and green smoke slowly drifted from it.

Still warm.

Be quiet.
