Chapter 31: Luck
I was stunned. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Indeed, luck is something that can be met but not sought, many people envy the success of others, always say: "His luck is really good!" And for himself, he is always melancholy, and the goddess of luck never patronizes.
I'm the type of person who doesn't have much luck.
Growing up, those sudden good fortunes never fell on my head, so I never dared to try things that required a bit of luck. When I was barely lucky when I was playing cards, I couldn't even win toothpaste in the lottery, let alone buy lottery tickets. All along, I lived my life carefully as if I had been abandoned by the god of luck.
Some people may say, you were born in a big family, and the family has money, which is equivalent to being born with a golden spoon, can you still say that you are unlucky?
Indeed, when I became sensible and found that there were many people my age who did not even have enough to eat, I felt a sense of uneasiness in my heart. I thought, why can a person like me, who has been abandoned by luck, live in such a wealthy family and have no worries about food and clothing?
Because I always felt that I was unlucky, this birth luck gave me a lot of psychological pressure. In my eyes, luck is a highly rare thing, and it is not something that can be had. Luck means something you can get without effort, in other words, it's given for free. However, there is no such thing as a free lunch, it is not something earned by one's own efforts, and it always feels like a time bomb, which is very dangerous.
I feel that there may be a pair of dark hands in your life that govern you, allowing you to maintain a balance between income and expenditure. The giving and gaining of life should be roughly equal, so that the path of life can maintain the most basic peace and smoothness. I attributed my bad luck to something that I owe in my previous life, so I have to be cautious in this life. I tend to give more than I get, so that at least every bit I get is what I deserve, and I feel very reassured.
The ancients once said that suffering losses is a blessing, and if virtue is not matched, there will be disasters. If a person is in a high position that he has climbed without hard work, such as buying an official, such as cutting off the status obtained by cutting off dissidents, instead of acquiring it through accumulation step by step, he will often invite unexpected disasters. The higher the status, the harder the fall.
In this sense, I have always been less mindful of losing a little, but rather afraid of sudden luck. As long as it is not a matter of principle, in my opinion, suffering a little loss is a matter of saving good fortune, which is conducive to maintaining a balance in life.
However, even if I am so cautious, am I still living on the streets and homeless today?
So, when I heard that "Enigma" was a sale of luck, I instinctively felt that it wasn't a good deal.
Moreover, how to sell luck? Does this mean that there is? If you fail to grasp it and eventually fail, what will be the price?
We followed the young man into the business office of the third room on the left.
The room was small, with only a desk and a large cupboard standing against the wall, with a neat row of file boxes at the desk.
The receptionist was a handsome young man with a pale complexion.
When we entered, the young man had been talking with the handsome man for a while, and was signing and pressing his fingerprint on a stack of documents under the guidance of the handsome man. The young man was not aware of our entry at all, and the pale receptionist simply glanced up at us before continuing to talk to his client.
"Once this handprint is pressed, our agreement will be established. We don't allow repudiation, do you need to think about it? โ
Without hesitation, the young man took the paper and firmly pressed the handprint in the position indicated by the other party.
"Okay!" The handsome receptionist said with a smile on his face, "Welcome to become our new customer, now, I will go and pick up the goods you need." You can rest assured that the quality of the goods is one year according to the agreement, and during this year, you can come to our store for free consultation and help if you have any questions. Your fulfillment period is three years, and if you fail in your mission, you will need to return to our store to pay the price. โ
"Now, is there really no need to pay any money? I've heard from the people around me that your store's good fortune is really very useful, can I just take it away like this? "Some of the young people can't believe it.
"Yes, you don't need to pay anything now, please feel free to use it. However, our sincere advice is that luck alone is not enough, so please do your best and make the most of it. Good luck! Now, please wait. โ
After saying that, the receptionist picked up the young man's agreement, stood up and opened the door and went out.
After a while, the reception was turned back, and the agreement in his hand was gone, replaced by a small mahogany box.
The wooden box opened, revealing a silver pendant tied to a black rubber rope, which looked rather avant-garde, a bit like the one sold in a Tibetan boutique.
"This is ......," the young man looked a little confused.
"Please wear this chain with you and don't leave it for a year. This is a ritual artifact that will bring you the good luck you wish for. โ
The young man hesitated for a moment, then took the chain, unfastened the metal buckle from the rubber rope, and put the necklace around his neck.
"That's ...... Is that it? โ
It's as if nothing happened.
"That's it." The receptionist said with a smile.
I knew it wouldn't be that simple, so when the young man picked up the chain, I had already gathered my spirit, opened my inner eye, and watched him.
I don't like to look at people in this way, because as I guessed, this young man already has an ugly monster attached to his body.
I've accepted the fact that most people are weird, so I don't feel scared or curious anymore. I didn't even bother to bother to look at the name and attributes of this monster on his body, I just put all my energy on the pendant in his hand.
When the silver pendant hung around his neck, there was an incredible changeโred threads grew out of the pendant, trembling softly, like the slender tentacles of insects.
A total of eight red silks stretched out, and then, a round body was also squeezed out of the pendant, and it turned out that the eight red silks were actually the eight tentacles on its body. The shape of the thing was almost clear, and it looked like a large spider with long legs.
It's just that the color of this slender spider is blood-red and blood-red, and it looks quite terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, the "spider" had already burrowed into the collar of the youth. The way I look at it now, even through the clothes, can be seen very clearly - the "spider" got into the clothes, stood still in the heart of the left chest of the young man, and suddenly seemed to melt, gradually flattened, and finally burned on the skin of the young man's chest like a bright red tattoo.
