Foreword:
The most important thing is not whether others love us, but whether we deserve to be loved.
Dale Carnegie丨"Human Weakness"
[Part①·Same fate]
"Hey, Daniel, what are you looking at?"
Ahao asked Daniel this. They were in the gym on the 24th floor, training with firearms teaching aids during preparations for the competition.
At this moment, Daniel was glued to the window, staring at the mobile stalls on the first floor and the ice cream truck.
"It seems Shark Chili didn't go to the food delivery place to get takeout. Our coach parked next to the ice cream truck. What did it want to do?"
Ahao followed and looked over, and sure enough, as Daniel said, the little shark seemed to be fascinated by the roadside stall and immediately exclaimed.
"Oops! It's so hot outside! My soup will go rancid!"
Daniel shook his head, much more mature than Ahao: "No, no, Ahao, coach it."
Shao Jinghao also came to his senses and seemed to sense something was wrong.
"Could it be."
Daniel: "Ice cream that will make a scourge hybrid come back."
Ahao: "It must be very delicious!"
Daniel: "Call him and ask him to bring one for me."
Ahao: "I want vanilla flavor!"
At the same time, Mr. Griffin Button had stopped the little shark and was enthusiastically selling snacks.
"Hey! This little brother!"
Mr. Griffin was extremely enthusiastic and wanted to lure Little Shark to a secluded corner. There were many patrol posts near the Roman Holiday Hotel, and they were all soldiers from the Guangling Police Station, not amateur militiamen.
"Looking at how hot you are, would you like some ice cream to cool you down?"
"Oh!" The little shark immediately cheered up. It walked forward in a daze. The cooling paste and cooling oil in its trouser pocket were all used up. The ice cream truck's refrigeration cabinet radiated bursts of cold air, which immediately attracted it.
It looked up at this young brother, who was probably around 25 or 26 years old. He had beautiful red hair and a mouth full of fangs. He seemed to be a hybrid of a beast, and he immediately became friendly with him.
"Brother! Give me one! How much is it?"
Mr. Griffin said with a smile: "It's free!"
The little shark immediately became vigilant: "The free one is the most expensive!"
"Oh no no no!" Griffin immediately changed his words: "I recognized you at a glance. You are the head coach of Fairy Tale Kingdom, right? How cute! I am a fan of your team! This order is free of charge! It's free of charge. !”
The little shark's eyes became sharp and his mind became more flexible.
"Really? Is that really the case?"
Griffin looked embarrassed and nodded vigorously; "Really! It's true!"
The little shark sniffed the smell in the air: "Really?"
Griffin immediately explained and pulled out the Fairy Tale Kingdom shirt from the red and white employee jacket: "Really! Look at this if you don't believe me!"
"Then, I still have a question." Little Shark waved to Griffin, asking the tall and handsome brother to get down.
To be honest, Griffin was extremely nervous. Neither he nor Kelly were very professional criminals. They couldn't even do their job as hunters well——
——The reason why Pellerini chose this couple is nonsense and natural.
The nonsense is that they really look like an ordinary honest couple. They are not too bad. In terms of temperament and appearance, they are a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Homo sapiens are born with sympathy for good-looking targets, even if they are good-looking. He is a murderer on death row. In the Internet age, as long as he is good-looking enough, he can immediately gain a lot of fans.
The natural place is that we went back to the previous article and found the meeting minutes of the Hulu Valley Immortal Alliance. There is a sentence called "What kind of skills do today's soldiers have? If you don't have a criminal record, it's good to be an undercover agent." ——This is exactly what Pellerini and other colleagues said.
He is an excellent decision-maker and will not be picky. As long as there is an opportunity to lead people to evil, he will not be picky and despise the incompetence of his subordinates.
Having said this, Griffin asked nervously: "Do you have any questions?"
Has this little shark already noticed my true identity? Was it suspicious?
Shark Chili immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "My question is! Can you give me five! I want five! Five!"
"Oh! Of course! Of course!" Griffin replied happily: "Wait a moment!"
"Hey hey hey hey." Little Shark rubbed his palms together, stood on tiptoes and leaned against the freezer, waiting.
After a while, calls came from Daniel and Brother Hao——
——When the bell rang, Mr. Griffin tensed up.
Do you want it to answer the phone?
He thought so, the sudden change made him upset, and his brain almost stopped functioning in the hot environment. If this opportunity was missed, the members of the Fairy Tale Kingdom would not be able to go downstairs until dinner time.
By then it would be too late, too late. Like Mr. Pellerini said, the gunsmith would most likely come back here, back to the students.
If he couldn't do this little thing well, he would have to trouble Marley Perot to use the power of [Eye of the Storm] to subdue these cubs. Thinking of these things, Griffin felt an indescribable feeling of anxiety.
When working in a company, the most fearful thing is that when the task comes to you, you have to trouble others to complete it——
——In this case, wouldn’t this company be the same with or without me?
no! It must not be allowed to answer the phone, it must be left here!
You have to let it eat the ice cream! It must eat the ice cream!
“Shark Chili.”
He was about to speak——
——Little Shark has taken out his mobile phone and is about to answer it.
At the critical moment, Keli, who was hiding in the dark and watching, could not help, so she had to worry.
But three patrol sentries helped Griffin. The three soldiers who had stopped in Guangling came to the ice cream stand again and squeezed away the small sharks with rough and brutal movements, just like kicking wild dogs on the side of the road.
The sentry at the head smiled: "Hey, boss, give our brother some snacks to relieve the heat."
The second sentry rested his elbow on the freezer, as if he was exhausted, and occupied half of the table: "Yes, yes, yes! On the hour, I want chocolate dried fruit chips and pecans." And peanuts, and corn syrup.”
The last sentry stood on the wheels of the ice cream truck, resting his legs seemingly casually, but actually he didn't want Griffin to leave.
"It's so hot today, business must be good, right? How much did you earn?"
The little shark was pushed aside and the phone fell to the ground. There were a few scratches on the aluminum alloy back frame. It immediately became furious and wanted to reason with him.
"Hey! How polite are you guys? I came first! And my mobile phone."
Before he finished speaking, the leading sentry turned around and glanced at the little shark.
"Beast, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you queuing up? Why didn't I see you queuing up? Oh! Is it because you are too short?"
"The disaster beast hybrids should make way for humans, little brat." Brother A Bing, who was following the leader, said with a smile: "You group of potential criminals, blood-sucking parasites lying on the streets of the capital, we are the stop of Guangling , is a warrior who protects the city - but the object of protection does not include you, you are not considered a human being."
The little shark was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke and his eyes were spitting fire.
"fart!"
Griffin quickly shouted: "Sir, this Shark Man is the head coach of Fairy Tale Kingdom, he is a celebrity."
"I don't care who it is, as long as it's not a human, it has to be inferior." The leading sentry turned around and cursed: "Are you getting braver just because this little Internet celebrity shark comes to buy your ice cream? ? Are you starting to get carried away? Open the storage cabinet and let me take a look? "
Little Shark wanted to say something more, until the soldier who was watching next to him pulled out a shotgun from behind, and the anti-explosion ammunition followed the barrel back into the chamber.
It finally understood that this place was not the first district, not a civilized big city. Even though it was the capital of District 41 and a modern human city, that was not necessarily the case for the beast hybrid.
People love each other and respect each other, but these qualities do not conflict with not treating the beast hybrid as a human being. Just like a person who is good at learning and is kind and kind will not regard the parrot he talks to as a human being at home. That's just a beast.
With gloomy eyes, Griffin opened the storage cabinet and took out the change box.
The sentry took a look, took out a few banknotes, and left the steel change so that the boss could make change.
"Not bad. I'll come back to you tomorrow and ask for it."
[Part②·The chill is overwhelming]
With that said, the soldier patted Griffin's face gently and was about to leave——
"——Wait a minute." Griffin said immediately: "Sir, do you want the ice cream?"
The three soldiers all turned around and exchanged glances with each other, feeling a little guilty.
While on duty, Guangling Zhixi's war group rules stipulate that eating outside food is never allowed.
They have already violated the regulations before and are considered one of the best in the war group. This time it is not even dinner time. If they are reported by other patrol posts, not only will they be fined, but they may also lose their jobs and they will not even be able to serve as soldiers.
"Since you intend to honor us," the leading sentry returned to the ice cream truck and used the money he just "robbed" to ask for three ice creams from Griffin: "Just do what my brother said - ask for beacon." Fruit and peanuts, chocolate and corn syrup.”
Griffin fiddled with the waffle cone silently, only to hear Little Shark shouting loudly.
"The gunsmith won't let you go! You scoundrels! I saw it all! I will expose what you did!"
The leading sentry responded softly: "Baby Shark! What have we done?"
The little Shark didn't know how to answer. It was a little short of breath when it faced the muzzle of the gun, because the soldier holding the gun was indeed preparing to fire, and it didn't look like a joke at all.
"What did we do?" the leading sentry asked: "What did you see? The mobile stall has to pay sanitation fees and city management fees. The three of us are going to buy some ice cream and bring it back to the military camp to our nephews and nieces, okay? ? What did you see again? Prosecutions are about evidence - the gunsmith also needs to be reasonable. Does he really have a license to kill? I'm so scared!"
"You." Little Shark was so angry that he raised his phone again and said, "I'll pay for the cover and middle frame! They're all scratched! It's you who hit me!"
"Then adjust the surveillance." The sentry took the dessert handed over by Griffin, took a big lick, and said with a smile: "You are welcome to go to the complaint window to check my service certificate and soldier number, shark chili."
Little Shark watched dumbly as the three soldiers walked further and further away. They swung their butts and ran rampant on the happy day of the Luna Cup Festival, and finally said a harsh word.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you!" Brother Sentinel shouted happily: "I am a fan of Fairy Tale Kingdom!~My favorite Amethyst was beaten to the loser group by you and eventually eliminated. , I lost more than six thousand yuan! It’s all your damn fault! If I don’t cause trouble for you, I’ll give you face! Be careful next time you walk at night! You beast!”
Little Shark was so angry that he almost cried.
Mr. Griffin squatted next to the little shark, pursed his lips and was about to cry.
The situation becomes more subtle——
"——Too bullying!" Griffin covered his face, feeling very aggrieved.
Little Shark murmured: "We are not human beings, boss, please wake up."
"Oh" Griffin immediately changed his mind: "What a fucking bully."
The little shark pursed his lips and clenched his fists: "Indeed."
"But I said, I have to find a way to compensate you for your mobile phone." Mr. Griffin apologized: "You were queuing in front of my stall and suffered this unreasonable disaster. It is my responsibility."
"No, it's my fault." Little Shark explained: "I didn't look at the almanac when I went out and bumped into a few little devils. Consider yourself unlucky."
Griffin: "It's my fault."
Little Shark: "No, it's my fault. You were bitten by a dead guy from Fairy Tale Kingdom. It's so unlucky."
Griffin: "It's my fault! No! It has to be my fault!"
Little Shark: "What are you arguing with me for?"
Griffin blushed anxiously: "Because there is not enough money in the storage cabinet to compensate you, so you have to go to the alley with me and ask my wife to get some money! If I don't say so, will you come with me?" "
All of a sudden, the adults and children stopped talking.
Shasha thought for a long time and asked doubtfully.
"Is this so important?"
"Uh-huh. Uh-huh." Griffin thought for a while and finally came to terms with it: "Because my wife is also a fan of Fairy Tale Kingdom, I just want to take her to see you - coach, can you give me a chance? "
"Really?" Little Shark scratched his head in confusion.
Before Griffin could speak, a pretty-faced elder sister emerged from the convenience store next to the Roman Holiday Hotel about twenty meters away. It was Mrs. Kelly Barton.
Keli waved her hands and jumped up and down: "Really! Really! Look, I also wear your cultural shirt! My bra has stickers of your candy! I love the fairy tale kingdom! I love you! Little Shark!"
"Wow!" Little Shark swept away the previous gloom and was immediately infected by this enthusiasm. "Boss, your wife is so beautiful! You are so lucky!"
Just as Pellelini thought, not only humans, but hybrid beasts are also visual animals.
This couple has an approachable temperament. Their intelligence is not very high, and their personalities are not that strong, but their soul power is very interesting - simple but deadly.
What determines social relationships is not whether others love us, but whether we are worthy of being loved. Pellerini believes that the Bartons have a talent for being loved.
Next to the patrol box on Lion Avenue, in the São Paulo Shopping Center, the three sentries had collected their protection fees and were ready to go to the video arcade to kill time and kill the boring work hours.
The sweet cream in the waffle cone slides into the throat, dissipating the scorching heat of the summer and bringing refreshing sweetness. The chocolate and dried fruits can just fill up some energy. There is still a surplus from the protection fee, so I replace it with a shiny steel pong and stuff it. Enter the gambling machine in the arcade.
The youngest of the three brothers, the Sentinel, chewed the last bit of the crispy cone and concentrated on grabbing the doll. The moment the steel claws clasped the stuffed toy tightly, his blood pressure surged and his heart rate increased. He opened his eyes wide and licked at the same time. Waffle crumbs on fingertips.
He kept chewing, chewing, and chewing. It seemed that the sweetness in his mouth was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't chew it all.
It wasn't until a layer of sticky blood fell on the rocker panel that the youngest came back to his senses and picked out a broken tooth from the sticky slurry. Immediately afterwards, he found that he could not speak, even his voice seemed to be far away from him, and his throat seemed to be blocked——
"--ah!!!"
The clerk who smelled the smell of blood screamed in horror, as if she had seen an incredible scene.
The youngest was holding his throat, but he didn't know what was happening. He only felt that his neck was stiff, his breathing was getting more and more difficult, there was a burning "chill", and hard ice cubes froze his throat into a lump. Ice slag.
He panicked and looked at the joystick panel again. The plasma had turned into a round pink ice crystal, like candy. There is still half a broken tooth left on it, which is the white chocolate that is used as a decoration on the candy.
He felt that life was gradually leaving him -
——He was in a panic and wanted to find the boss. He crossed a distance of about twenty meters and ran to the smoking area of the video game city.
He saw a coughing man holding an electronic cigarette, puffing on the smoke while numbly tapping the buttons of the machine used to rope cattle and catch sheep.
The youngest recognized the Prajna Grimace logo on the e-cigarette, which was the boss’s favorite, so he immediately slapped the boss on the shoulder.
The sentry leader who was so high-spirited and arrogant just now turned pale at this moment and did not turn around to respond. His mouth and nose spattered cold smoke, which was the mist of ice cream cream slurry after the nicotine salt oil evaporated.
The youngest grabbed the eldest brother's shoulder and exerted force——
——The boss's sternum was broken and his whole body turned over.
In just the blink of an eye, pieces of ice burst out from the fragile bones, cutting through the nylon straps and Kevlar materials. Turned into brilliant ice flowers.
The youngest finally collapsed and was so frightened that the guests around him began to scream and run away from the arcade!
The youngest wants to find the second oldest——
——But he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked. He just took a few steps forward and finally knelt down. In just about forty seconds, his throat was completely blocked. He touched it gently with his hand and saw that Pieces of pink ice flowers fell.
When he fell, there was a splash of debris that looked like cherry blossoms.
Where is the second child?
He's in the toilet, walking around.
——It’s just that the frequent and urgent bladder is a bit annoying.
No urine escaped.
The second child stood like this, from day to night, for a full fifty minutes, until he stopped breathing, his belly swelled, his intestines and kidneys swelled, and colorful crushed ice erupted.
He remained standing, motionless.
