Chapter 10: Father, Mother
"What the hell is me?"
Joe stood in the bathroom, staring blankly at the large mirror that had returned to a bright and bright state.
Laplahi, the strange creature that popped out of nowhere, slowly spat out a few smoke rings, and then disappeared.
"Hey, what are you?"
Joe muttered under his breath, he didn't dare let Leah hear him.
If Lea had known that Joe had 'auditory hallucinations' and 'visual hallucinations', with Joe's knowledge of Leah over the years, she would definitely have gone to the Silver Cinnamon Church belonging to Mutesste, donated a large handful of gold coins, and then asked a large group of nuns and grandmothers to examine his head.
No, those terrible nuns and grandmothers will pry open his mouth and pour him a lot of so-called 'holy water' and 'magic medicine'.
Joe was definitely not an auditory hallucination or a visual hallucination, he had just seen the strange creature who called himself Laplachi.
"What the hell are you?"
In Qiao's eyes, the three-circle six-pointed star magic array emitted a faint red light.
The mirror is clear and clear, and there is no abnormality.
"Life is long, from now on, please take care of it."
Laplasi's slow, limp voice sounded from Joe's head: "I am Laplasi, I am the All-Knowing, I am in your head. ”
"What do you want to do? Why did you find me? Joe lowered his voice and asked urgently.
It was a long time before Laprahi's voice came slowly: "Life is long, we have enough time to get to know each other. Why the hurry? Anxiety, urgency, panic, these negative emotions will not bring any benefit. ”
"Calm, quiet, and peaceful. Then you will find that the world is so beautiful, your life is so wonderful, and your future is so wonderful. ”
Laplasi's spiky, thin, parrot fish gnawed on a coral reef sounded: "Of course, with me, your life and your future will be more exciting, smoother, and more radiant." ”
Joe stiffened, and he wanted to tell the strange being that he was content with his current life and that he didn't want any more icing on the cake.
Without waiting for Joe to speak, Laprahi smiled slowly and softly, "Of course, it may be more miserable, more helpless, more desolate and desolate?" Life is long, anything can happen, Crimson! ”
Then, no matter how much Joe muttered, Laprahi didn't make a sound.
"Hey!" Joe walked around the bathroom in a frustrated manner, gritting his teeth and muttering, "I'm not Crimson, I'm Joe!" ”
He wanted to get Laprahi out of his head. But looking at his plump face in the mirror, his big head several times larger than the average person, and seriously considering the difficulty of such an action, he gave up his impulse in despair.
Last night's experience was so horrible.
Last night's nightmare was so terrifying.
Before he could recover from the successive shocks, and before he could figure out what was going on with Crimson and himself, the even more bizarre Laprahi, the so-called omniscient, actually lived in his head.
Wave after wave of shocks followed, and Joe's mind was in a mess, so when he came out of the bathroom, his face was extremely gloomy, and every pore seemed to be spewing cold air out.
"Oh, my dearest Joe!" Leah saw a gloomy Joe, and her soft face suddenly changed.
"What's wrong with you? The face is so ugly? Oh, poor Joe, mother's darling, you must have been frightened by yesterday's events. ”
She hurriedly walked up to Joe, stood on tiptoe, stretched out her hand, and patted Joe's plump face with some difficulty. Then, Leah's face changed slightly again, she lowered her head, looked at the barefoot Joe, and then looked at the half-heeled home slippers she was wearing, and Leah frowned.
"Joe? How did you grow taller overnight? ”
Leah's face darkened for a while, and she forgot to ask Joe why she was unhappy, and all her attention shifted to why Joe had suddenly grown taller.
"O merciful Mutesta, you have grown at least two inches taller!" Leah's face twitched slightly, and she screamed a little hysterically: "Joe, if this continues, no noble lady from Port Tulum will marry you...... Who would marry a humanoid bear, O merciful Mutesthe? ”
Joe's already gloomy face became even more gloomy and melancholy.
'Humanoid wild bear'?
What a gentle and respectable biological mother!
"Ah, dear Leah, dear, it's a good thing, a good thing." A brisk voice came in, and then, nearly seven feet tall, broad-shouldered, long-legged, and muscular and burly, but with a high bulging beer belly, completely ruining the whole size, Hesse walked into the room briskly.
Hesse seemed to be in a good mood, and under Hesse's nose, two scars of extremely imperial tradition, and his tall beard shook happily, like two machetes dancing wildly.
Hesse walked up to Joe quickly, reached out and grabbed Leah's shoulders, lifted her up like a chicken, put her aside, and then opened his arms and hugged Jo hard.
He laughed loudly: "Our son, open the sea of power. Isn't that normal? His strength will continue to grow until he grows into a real man! Of course, the only side effect, he'll grow a few inches taller! ”
Leah covered her forehead with her right hand and let out an unbearable wail from the depths of her throat.
"How many inches taller you are?"
"O merciful Mutesthe!"
Several maids cautiously approached and gathered around Lia, lest she would not be able to withstand the heavy blow and faint to the ground.
Hesse and Joe glanced at each other, and father and son shrugged their shoulders at the same time, and then walked out of the room with their shoulders hooked.
Leah sat heavily on the sofa in Joe's room, muttering with a gloomy face, "O merciful Mutesthe, open the sea of power, of course this is a good thing." But, O merciful Muteste, does the Church of Silver Cinnamon have holy water that makes people short? ”
Joe and Hesse's faces twitched at the same time, as if they hadn't heard Leah.
Out of Joe's room was a large living room, with a shoe rack filled with boots of all colors, leather, velvet, silk, satin, and all kinds of materials.
Two large wardrobes and pestles are on one side, one is full of luxurious everyday clothes of various materials, and the other is dozens of black police uniforms.
Walking through the living room, there is a reception room of the same size.
In the reception room, there are two walls of wine cabinets, on which are placed all kinds of fine wines. On the opposite side of the wine cabinet, near the floor-to-ceiling windows, a circle of leather sofas surrounds a long luodian gold-encrusted table with cedar wood cigar cabinets, which are a huge cigar cabinet filled with large and small cigar boxes.
The father and son reclined comfortably and lazily on the sofa, and a maid helped them light cigars, and the two began to swallow the clouds, and the reception room was immediately filled with a pungent smell of smoke.
"What happened last night, it's a bit complicated. It's messy and troublesome. "Hesse doesn't have as many girlfriends as Leah, but he will always be more informed than Leah.
Opening his mouth and spitting out a long line of smoke, Hesse said in a deep voice: "It's not just a matter of dead people, it's not just that so many policemen have died, there is even greater trouble in it." So, I helped you take half a month of sick leave, stay at home, don't go out. ”
Joe's face twitched, and he didn't go out for half a month?
He straightened up, frowned, and stared at Hesse very hard: "It's troublesome? In the port of Tulum, is there a problem that our Vetol family can't solve? ”
Hesse's beard, which had been jolting happily, suddenly stopped: "Dear Joe, my dear son, in the port of Tulum...... Your father, the wise and martial Lord Hesse, the head of the Vetto family, can solve most of the troubles. ”
Shrugging, Hesse sighed: "But this time the trouble is from outside the port of Tulun, so ......"
The left hand pressed down gently: "So, low-key, low-key, low-key." ”
Shaking his head, Hesse took out a pale gold booklet from the intimate pocket of Hesse's tight waistcoat, and threw the booklet that was a little rolled up in the corner on Joe's body with a very frivolous and disapproving expression.
"In half a month, since you have opened the sea of power, then, don't waste time, don't waste the family's eighteen years of investment in you, work hard and cultivate hard."
"After what happened last night, I think, you should understand the meaning of a man who has enough power."
Spat out a perfect smoke ring, Hesse looked up and looked at the gilded relief of a beautiful woman on the ceiling: "Your five subordinates, Billy and them, are all alive. So, you can practice with peace of mind. ”
Billy them, alive?
Joe raised his eyebrows in surprise and said with sincere emotion: "Praise the benevolent Mutesthe, then, I will rest assured!" ”
Then, he grabbed the pamphlet with a quick dash.
Before opening the booklet, Jo put down his cigar and said to Hesse very seriously, "Father...... Donate some money to the police department. ”
Joe remembered the six mounted policemen who had actually saved him by charging last night.
Hesse took a deep puff of his cigar: "Don't worry, when you rested last night, everything was already taken care of......"
Glancing at Joe quickly, Hesse said indifferently: "I gave Billy an extra sum of money, and they will never say what happened last night." But, son, I must say, well done. When in danger, run away...... I am very pleased that you can run faster and farther than your five subordinates. ”
Jo held his breath in his throat, and as if he hadn't heard Hesse's words, he opened the pale golden pamphlet to himself.
"The Imperial Army's Basic Breathing Method", the first page of the booklet, is simply printed with a line of iron-gray handwriting.
"Imperial Army?" Jo 'forgot' about Hesse's words and looked up at Hesse in astonishment.
"Shhh Hesse lowered his voice and muttered in a mysterious whisper, "No leaks, dear son, you know." ”
Qiao nodded understandingly.
'Contraband'?
He loved it.
Flipping through the booklet in his hand, Joe's pupils were slightly red, and wisps of inexplicable anger were accumulating in his heart.
'Escape'?
'Next time, don't run away'!
Not only anger, but also unknown shame welled up in his heart, which filled Joe's heart with all kinds of evil thoughts.
