Chapter 022: I'm a Bad Man
Donate? curtain
When she heard the word, Meg's eyes popped out!
She subconsciously stopped in front of the painting to stop John's crazy move.
"Donate an authentic piece of Van Gogh?"
Meg screamed,
"Do you know what you're talking about, John?"
This is not only to give up a large amount of wealth, but also to miss countless opportunities for scientific research!
Even if you don't talk about the material value of these things, just writing papers, how many articles can you write! curtain
The rest of the people also spoke up to persuade John to calm down and not to make a decision immediately, so as not to regret it later.
True or not, these things are worth a lot of money, not to mention the story of an Eternal.
"Don't get me wrong, this is definitely not impulsive, I've wanted to do it for a long time."
John poured his wine and said,
"I've heard my father mention Mr. Ludon a long time ago, and I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, but I actually believe what Mr. Ludon says..."
He distributed the poured wine to everyone, and Ludon even volunteered to stand up and help.
John was about to pour the last cup, but was stopped by Ludon
"One more glass."
As he spoke, Luton handed the glass to John.
John looked around and saw that everyone had wine glasses in their hands, and there was indeed an extra one.
Griffin was already asleep, and he counted one more person.
John always felt a little strange about something, but he couldn't say it, so he had to take the wine glass in Luden's hand, lean against the counter, shake the wine glass, and said to everyone,
"Talk casually and imagine what kind of life a person would live if he attained eternal life?"
This time, instead of asking the crowd, John asked himself. curtain
"He has an infinite life, he can learn all kinds of skills, and even reach the point of being good through repeated practice..."
"But he was by no means a genius, and before he lived forever, he didn't even know that such a ridiculous thing could happen to him..."
"Since he is not a genius, his talent is naturally limited, even if he wanders outside the palace, he can't become a real palace-level task..."
"As the old saying goes, the realization of self-worth, yes, self-worth, since he can't go further in the career he loves, he changed his direction, to meet more people, to listen to more stories, and to make his life as exciting as possible..."
"But how long can this last, five hundred years? A thousand years? How many friends does he have to make and how many heroes does he know? And then lose them again and again? Such a thing is not luck at all, but a kind of torture, a kind of torture that ordinary people can hardly imagine!"
In John's mouth, eternal life was like a curse.
From this angle, everyone didn't think about it. curtain
He spoke like a god whispering,
"But when did this torture begin? When did this curse fall? Maybe you will begin to repent, every thing you have ever done, everything that has been wrong, everything that has been right, and he will beg the all-knowing and all-powerful God to come down and put an end to this nightmare that you will never wake up to..."
"The nightmare won't end, so you've been in a state of maymare for a few days, five hundred years? Eight hundred years? To tell you the truth, you don't care about time at all, your life is only day and night, you will run like a wild beast in the mountains and forests, you will wear the most gorgeous clothes to go out to high-end drinking parties, no matter what alcohol or drugs, you will not be able to numb your brain, you will wake up sooner or later..."
"Repentance, depravity, you may meet a few good people, I mean the kind of good people who changed your life, there are always such people in this world, they are angels, they were born to save other souls..."
「......」
In John's self-talk, everyone seems to be able to see a man struggling in the torrent of history, ups and downs...
No one's life is smooth sailing, even if he is an eternal. curtain
Victory and Nozomi
Hope for this kind of good food is always short-lived.
Failure and setbacks are the longevity of more people.
Things may spiral, but how many people's lives have been spent in this spiral process and have not been able to wait for the final rise?
John may have said that he was tired, or maybe he had finished speaking, but in short, he stopped.
"Bang Bang Bang
There was applause in the cabin, and everyone was applauding him and applauding this wonderful story.
Someone is listening to a story, someone is looking in the mirror. curtain
John smiled, tears at the corners of his mouth.
"Anyway, it's worth a drink tonight."
As he spoke, Ludon raised his glass, just right, relieving John's embarrassment.
Everyone raised their glasses and said different toasts.
"Cheers to the Eternals!"
"Cheers to these babes!"
"Cheers to this crazy and unforgettable night!" curtain
Everyone drank the wine in their glasses, and the atmosphere in the hall returned to its previous harmony, and they looked like a group of friends who had known each other for many years.
After drinking, John's expression was a little numb, and he stared blankly at the wine glass, thinking about something.
His body shook twice, and John fell headlong to the floor!
Ludon, who was closest to John, as if he had expected it, caught the wine glass with one hand, dragged John with the other, and gently placed the other person on the sofa.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly gathered around to check on John's situation.
Talking well, why did you suddenly fall asleep?
Lu Deng did not forget to put up a finger and signal everyone to be quiet
"Shhhh
Ludon pointed to his glass and explained,
"There's sleeping pills in this wine."
All:???
Meg immediately asked, "Your medicine?!"
Jack interrupted his wife in displeasure,
"Who would be stupid enough to admit it after being drugged?" curtain
Even so, the eyes of the people who looked at Ludon were full of doubts, wanting an answer.
Since Ludon did this, he must have his reasons.
"The sleeping pills in the wine were left from Griffin's previous wine glass, and Griffin's wine was given to him by John..."
Luden said calmly,
"In other words, John drugged himself himself."
Jack was still puzzled, "Why did John drug Griffin?" Why are you doing that, Mr. Luden?"
They have too many problems. curtain
As soon as I heard a wonderful story, I poured cold water on my face, and things seemed to develop beyond everyone's expectations.
In the wooden house, only the history professor was as immobile as a mountain, with a smile on his lips, as if he had foreseen all this for a long time.
"In order to protect you present, in order to catch evil criminals, in order to complete this year's achievements, in order to be promoted.... There are so many reasons for this."
Ludon was obviously in a good mood, whistled, and said with a smile,
"I'm sorry, I'm a messenger."
As soon as the words fell, as if to confirm Luden's words, a shrill siren sounded outside the wooden house!
