Chapter 25: Soma's Blackening
"Soma, you don't look very good, are you sick?"
"Sick? Yes, sick. Soma muttered, a tear slipping from the corner of her eye.
Juan seemed to see the fuse burning.
"But it's not me who is sick, it's the world."
Soma sat up straight, tears pouring out of his eyes, but he didn't care.
The fuse burned to the end.
"I've been doing it for 20 years, 20 years! I have been doing it for 20 years in this remote ghost place where birds don't! ”
Morgan, a very professional hunter and guide, twitched the muscles of his face, as if he was holding back his stomach.
"I apply for an increase every year, but they always say, 'No.
I said, "Why not?"
"They started by saying, 'You don't have enough qualifications.'
"Okay, I'll accept that.
"But after 10 years of doing it, they said, 'You didn't make a difference.'
"Grades? Damn it! Make a mark in this place where birds don't?! ”
The corners of Morgan's eyes twitched suddenly, and he looked like he couldn't help but pull them out.
"Shut up, Morgan, and don't say anything 'birds here poop'!"
"I, I didn't say anything."
"You said it, said it in your heart, I heard it!"
Soma continued to growl: "I said: Okay, results, I'll show you!"
"Now that I've made a difference, the first ever immigrant has appeared on the beautiful planet."
"What? The first to immigrate? Am I the first? ”
"Yes, let's have a banquet to celebrate."
"But no one has invested in opening a factory before......"
"That businessman only invested, not immigrated."
"But there are so many people here......"
"They are all here to work, they are on a business trip, and like me, the hukou is not here.
"But who has no problem with their brains will give up their original hukou and immigrate to this place where birds don't?"
Juan: "......"
Soma paused and continued: "I've heard for a long time that some planetary development station directors cheat and apply for immigration to people who are obviously not eligible.
But I said to myself: No, Soma, you can't do that.
"Look at how obedient and responsible I am!
"Now, I've succeeded, and the first ever immigrant on the Beautiful Planet has appeared, meeting all the conditions, which is something that no one can fault in the thorns!
"In order to make this achievement, I have been working in this ghost place where birds don't for 20 years!
"Morgan! If you think about bird again, I'll confiscate your temporary hunting permit! ”
Morgan's face flushed, as if he had been forced to have a digital prostate exam.
"You know, what are they talking to me now?!"
Soma, who had exploded completely, roared, spitting out spit on Juan's face like a tsunami:
"They said I was over the bureaucratic promotion age line!!
"Fuck the age line! Fuck the bureaucracy younger! Why didn't they say this when I was younger! ”
Soma slammed the table, and Jack, who was so noisy that he was pretending to be asleep, had to sit up straight.
"I can see clearly, they just want to make room for related households!
"Do you know what I'm reporting on this review?
"A pseudo-elite who entered the Ivy League by donations, a scumbag who can't do anything in college except pick up girls!
"He doesn't even have the most basic knowledge of government affairs, so he can be my boss directly?!
"Why?!
"What do you say he has an Ivy Certificate, phew, he bought it with money!
"And as if no one doesn't, I'm also an Ivy League graduate!
"I'm just going to get in and out!
"In the final analysis, isn't it because his family is rich and powerful!
"That bastard can't go anywhere if he wants to be gilded, why do you have to stand in my way!
"Damn, I've seen it through!"
A roar seemed to drain Soma's strength, and he rested his arms on the table with his head in his hands.
"Soma, think about it, the world has never been fair."
"You're right, Juan, hiss~," Soma blew her nose, "I figured it out, I don't have to be responsible for such a boss."
"I should have spent more time with my family. Hiss~, uh-woo-woo~woo-woo~. ”
Like a mess after the tsunami receded, Soma cried profusely.
Juan handed over a piece of wet tissue across the table.
Soma took it and rubbed his eyes wildly, which seemed to calm him down a bit.
"I call the report every year to ask for an upward adjustment, just so that I can be closer to home, closer to my son, can you understand this father's mood?"
"Yes, I understand."
"No, you don't understand, you're a single dog, you don't have a son."
Juan: "......"
"You know, Juan, I missed all the big moments for my son for work, his kindergarten graduation, his elementary school graduation, his junior high school graduation, his high school graduation.
"Now that he's been admitted to college, if I miss his graduation ceremony again, I think he'll be cruel to me for the rest of my life."
"At first, I know, but in the end he'll forgive you."
"No, he won't forgive me, and I don't want to die to see my son hate me, but for now, unless I resign.
"But I can't quit because quitting would mean no income, and my kids are still in college, and he needs money.
"And I hope that he will be like that bastard in the future, and he will be able to live without food and clothing for the rest of his life.
"So I figured it out, even if he died, I would have to prepare a large sum of money for him.
"This is what I owe him, and I owe it to my son by an unqualified father."
"Hehe, I don't have to worry about food and clothing for a lifetime, I want to too. But Soma, that's a lot of money.
"I don't know how much you earn, but I don't think you can earn that much money even if you retire."
"Yes, I know, of course you can't live on dead wages."
Soma pulls out a Colt Python revolver.
The handle of this classic gunpowder weapon is engraved with the words "Success becomes benevolence".
Soma opened the wheel and poured out the six bullets inside.
Bullets "clanged" off the table.
"I once saw a game in the old movie 'The Deer Hunter' called Russian Turntable."
Soma grabbed a bullet and slipped it back into the revolver's slot.
Juan was stunned, what do you mean, what does he want to do?
Morgan seems to have been petrified.
Even Jack, who has always had an attitude of not caring about himself, has a solemnity in his eyes.
"I've never understood what people who play this game think in their hearts......"
Soma paused for a second, thought for a moment, picked up another bullet and stuffed it in, and then, another one.
"Now, I want to experience it."
Soma flicked the wheel to make it spin quickly, snapped it shut before it stopped, and then raised her gun to her temple.
