Late at night, sporadic lights in the night sky are still shining tenaciously. The vast starry sky seems to have been recycled by the stingy Creator, all the precious stars, leaving only a few scattered ones that have not yet been collected.
The desolate land was also dimmed into a deep black by the night. The city lights in the distance were bright, like a city of glass in the wasteland. Looking up, the structure of the high-rise buildings could not be seen clearly, because everything was rendered in neon.
In the light, like bright pearls in a clam shell, people will only be attracted by its pure beauty, and other flaws that damage the beauty will be involuntarily ignored.
Through the lights of the city in the distance, you can vaguely make out the desolate land covered with red-yellow sand, with red fire scattered around it, and the air is pungent.
When Lin Mo realized where he was, his head was as heavy as lead, and his consciousness seemed to fall asleep in the next second.
Finally, unable to do anything, he leaned up and lay down on the ground, staring blankly at the night sky.
The night sky is exceptionally dark, and the moon does not always appear perfectly in the sky. However, precisely because its light is not visible, the remaining scattered stars are much brighter.
However, it seemed that the light of these scattered stars was too monotonous, and suddenly a more dazzling star appeared on the starry night curtain.
It was as red as flames, with an ominous malevolence like blood.
Even though his body was completely out of his control at this moment, and his consciousness was unclear, Lin Mo could still feel the sudden feeling in his heart.
The red star became bigger and bigger, and its brilliant light gradually covered all the light of the other stars. It was the only one so bright in the entire night sky, until it overshadowed the light of the moon.
Getting closer.
Lin Mo squinted his eyes and tried to open them, trying to see what this red star was.
But until the last moment came, he could only see a huge flame descending on the land where he was like divine punishment.
The fireball fell, the earth cracked, and the explosion that foreshadowed death was deafening. For the first time in history, the light from the wilderness far exceeded the city. Like a moth touching a candle, the self-igniting flame will become stronger in that cluster.
candlelight.
...
Lin Mo opened his eyes in a daze, and the first thing he saw was a ceiling dyed in neon colors.
Lines of light were swirling around the room, and the sound of noisy music accompaniment and pig-killing singing could be heard in his ears. It seemed that someone was using his unique singing voice as an excuse to commit murder.
"Fuck, it's really unpleasant."
Intrigued by the music, Lin Mo suddenly sat up in his sleep and sat up straight on the sofa.
At this time, he was shocked to find that someone had covered him with a quilt.
"Are you awake? Don't worry, the operation was successful and you are already a girl."
Suddenly a young man's voice sounded next to him, his tone was full of joking and ridicule, and there seemed to be a hint of schadenfreude.
Lin Mo didn't even think about it, didn't even turn his head, and punched directly in the direction of the sound.
"Fuck, my face!"
David fell back to the ground in pain and sat on the floor, completely unaware that Lin Mo would shamelessly sneak attack.
"Obviously you teased me like this before when I was drunk, but now it's your turn and you still can't afford to play." He complained in a faint tone.
"Because I'm the boss."
Lin Mo replied calmly. Only then did he turn his head. When he saw David sitting on the ground, he realized what had happened to him.
"How long have I been asleep?"
He said hoarsely, his throat feeling a little dry.
"Not long after, it was only half an hour. When you were drinking with Rebecca, Falco and the others, you fell asleep halfway through the drink. I have to say, Lin Mo, you are too inferior. You only drank so much and fell asleep.
, I can’t hold on for long at all.” David said bluntly and fearlessly.
"I'll give you half a minute to organize your language and change your words, otherwise your salary for this month will be gone." Lin Mo rubbed his temples and said without looking back.
"Uh... Actually it's Falco, Rebecca and the two of them who are playing tricks on each other. Although your wine bottles are all the same, the wine in your bottles is actually high-alcohol spirits, and they
The bottle contains beer with a low alcohol content. I have to say that it is really shameful for the two of them to use this method to make you look embarrassed."
David sighed, his tone full of disdain for his brother being bullied, and his attitude changed so quickly that Lin Mo even sighed.
"You kid, who did you learn this speed of changing faces from?" Lin Mo couldn't help laughing and scolding, and also looked at the current time.
——21:50.
After David's reminder, he almost recalled what happened before.
He was just chatting with Mann on the balcony, but Falco suddenly walked over and said he was inviting him over for a drink.
When I got there, I was shocked to find out that the drinking game was 1v2, and Falco and Rebecca drank him until he was drunk.
Although the nano-treatment robot in his body can make him immune to minor problems such as alcohol allergies, he is still not immune to debuffs such as being drunk.
But I'm having so much fun tonight, it doesn't matter if I get drunk once in a while.
Lin Mojing sat on the sofa, recalling the scene in his dream just now in his mind.
...The dark night, the brightly lit city...and the red star falling from the sky.
Some fragments of the dream flashed through Lin Mo's mind, but they were hard to recall as if they were covered in dust.
It's really strange, why would I have such a nonsensical dream?
He tried to recall the fragments of the dream just now, but the memory in the dream was like holding fine sand in his hand. The more he recalled it, the more it fell and scattered from his hand.
Dreams are indeed confusing and difficult to figure out. After just a short while, the memory in my sleep became a little unclear.
Lin Mo sighed, not surprised by this. After all, unless it was an impressive dream, it would be difficult for normal people to recall the scenes in the dream.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Lin Mo, are you awake?"
A gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Lin Mo didn't even need to look back to know who the cat-like voice came from.
Sure enough, Sasha, wearing a pink and white skirt, came over, holding a cup of sobering tea in her hand, and placed it on Lin Mo's hand very gently and delicately.
Lin Mo didn't say much, picked up the cup and covered his head and drank. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that his head seemed less groggy.
"Thanks, Sasha." Lin Mo said with a smile and handed over the empty cup.
"You're welcome."
Sasha took the empty cup and looked quietly at the boy sitting motionless on the sofa. The boy's cheeks also looked a little rosy due to drinking. He completely lost the sharp and awe-inspiring temperament of the past, and instead became much softer.
.
Sasha pursed her lips and chuckled, then asked:
"Would you like some sobering tea?"
"No need, I'm much better now." Lin Mo shook his head.
"It's better not to be brave in the future and drink less. Rebecca was shocked when she saw you suddenly lying on the table. She thought you were missing and you were yelling." Sasha said.
"Oh? Then I have to thank Rebecca for not killing her." Lin Mo said with a slight smile.
"However, she was quite concerned about you. Not only her, but everyone was worried about you at that time, but they found out that you were just drunk, so everyone went to do other things." Sasha explained gently:
"Originally, I wanted to take care of you myself, but unfortunately Rebecca refused, saying that you were drunk, so she asked me to take care of you, so I had to force David to take care of you."
At this point, David, who was sitting next to him, coughed slightly, as if asking for credit to enhance his sense of presence.
Sasha maintained his usual gentle smile and continued to remind: "You'd better take a rest now, otherwise Rebecca will definitely drag you over to drink again when she sees you are so energetic. With your temperament, she may not
Reject her?"
"It should be." Lin Mo replied helplessly.
"So, take a good rest first, and I will talk to her about it," Sasha said.
"Thank you." Lin Mo was deeply moved.
Seeing Lin Mo's expression in her eyes, Sasha's smile grew stronger, she continued to chat for a few words, then turned and left.
Lin Mo continued to lie lazily on the sofa.
He felt that if he got up now, Rebecca, who was aware of the situation here, would definitely not let him go, and by then he would have to be drunk again.
It would be better to just lie down like this. He decided not to go home tonight anyway, so it would be okay to spend the night here.
The space on the second floor is extremely spacious. Although there are not many lounges built, if it is enough to sleep on the floor for one night, it will not be a problem for everyone at the banquet even if they do not go home.
The music playing in my ears is still loud. In this noisy environment, it is simply a luxury to want to sleep peacefully.
Lin Mo had no choice but to give up the idea of continuing to sleep. He turned his head and saw that David was still sitting on another sofa. He had brought a piece of cake from unknown time and was tasting it carefully.
"You haven't eaten enough yet." Lin Mo said helplessly.
Tonight's dishes, desserts, fruits and other food were definitely sufficient. After more than a dozen of them had eaten and drank enough, there was still a lot left over.
Lin Mo didn't mind letting others pack it back. Anyway, just try not to waste food.
But even so, there was still a lot of food left on the table. Lin Mo thought it would be just right for a midnight snack, so he put the remaining food on the table without clearing it.
"How can you eat so much delicious food casually? This is disrespectful to food. It's already ten o'clock, so it's just a late night snack." David licked his mouth while eating, white.
The cream stuck to my face without even noticing it.
"It's up to you. Oh, by the way, who is singing in the KTV area now?" Lin Mo suddenly asked again.
When David heard this, he also turned to look at other areas on the second floor. While observing, he explained to Lin Mo:
"Brother Jack is holding the microphone now, Brother Mann is trying to snatch the microphone from his hand, Pyrrha is dancing to the accompaniment...if that set of movements can be called dancing, and Sister Dolio is requesting songs."
Lin Mo was speechless as he lay on the sofa, not knowing what to say.
He didn't expect Mann, Jack and others to have much musical talent. They were all strong men with big shoulders and thick waists. They were already good at singing without turning the microphone upside down. How good would they sing?
To say they are all tone-deaf would be a compliment...
However, music is, after all, part of the crystallization of human culture. No matter how shy a person is, they will still have the desire to express themselves through singing deep down.
However, the mistake was that he should not have built a KTV room in the rest area on the second floor.
Seeing this novelty, even if they can't sing, it's not surprising that in order to satisfy their curiosity and desire for expression, these two strong, extroverted men would compete to sing.
"What about the others?"
Lin Mo continued to lie on the sofa leisurely, with no intention of getting up, and continued to let Xiao Weizi report the situation to him.
David had no idea that he was being treated as a tool. He continued to help Lin Mo observe the current situation and said loyally:
"Sister Sasha is reading in the lounge, Rebecca and Falco are still drinking at the bar, Qiwei is also there, and Brother Hao is still bartending there, as if he wants to practice his skills...
"
After hearing David's narration, Lin Mo nodded frequently and asked again:
"Where is Ms. Gloria? Are you still having dinner with the employees on the first floor?"
Previously, the reason why he said to Gloria, "You are the protagonist tonight" was because she was the protagonist tonight.
They are holding a banquet on the second floor, and they are also holding a banquet on the first floor.
Gloria, who is the head of the studio, is also having dinner with other ordinary employees. It is true that she is the protagonist.
David nodded slightly and said calmly:
"No, the staff meal on the first floor has ended a long time ago, but considering that we are all marginalized people, it is not easy for her to come up, so she stayed on the first floor to handle matters."
Having said this, he paused for a while, his tone slightly doubtful:
"It's just a little strange that my mother actually knows Brother Mann. Anyway, I don't know how they met."
Of course you don't know... Lin Mo thought to himself.
"Where's Lucy?" he asked next.
"She? I don't know." David shook his head blankly.
"But after you passed out from drinking, she came over and took a look at you. I still remember her smile at that time was very sinister."
Um?
Lin Mo suddenly felt a little bad.
He subconsciously opened the communication contact list and found Lucy. He wanted to click on the other party's channel and ask where she had been, but he was stunned by the several unread messages displayed on the data panel.
When he clicked on it, there were several more photos on the chat history with Lucy, and each photo showed him sleeping as soundly as a baby.
And at the bottom, there are two words.
[Lucy: Tut, tut.]
Grandma, this bad woman wants to take ugly photos of me to use as leverage, right?
As a network hacker, Lucy's prosthetic eyes are naturally equipped with scanner functions.
Among them, there are also functions such as taking pictures. It may look like it is looking at you, but it may actually be taking pictures.
Lin Mo replied:
【Where are you now!】
[Lucy: Outside the office building, on the bench along the riverside path, Mann and his friends were too noisy, so I came out to get some air.]
[Lucy: How is it, my little boss, do you like the wine? I think you slept very soundly.]
[If you take pictures, you are completely violating my privacy.]
[Lucy: Oh? Really? Then why did someone take advantage of me and record my voice?]
[It’s okay, you can continue to cool down outside]
Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly and he closed the channel in disappointment.
I didn’t expect this guy to hold a grudge!
"If nothing else happens, I'll go play video games. That old Yinworm guy is still waiting to compete with me." David said suddenly.
After Pila went to the KTV room to dance, he finally found a new teammate.
"What are you two competing in? An arcade machine for two-player fighting?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
He still remembered that there were several types of arcade machines he bought.
"It was like Carrot Run, an arcade machine that controlled horses to run. I competed with the old worm to see who could run farther," David recalled.
Lin Mo nodded, waved his hand and said: "Then you go over first, I don't need you to take care of me here."
David nodded, turned around and ran to the arcade area to fight against the old worm waiting there.
...
Lying on the sofa, Lin Mo also found that he had nothing to do.
So taking advantage of this free opportunity, he thought and took out the Mewtwo Simulator from the cabinet on the glass table next to him.
He didn't mind starting the second day of simulation now, after all, the appearance of the simulator was exactly the same as Mewtwo's Ring.
Even if others see it, they will at most think that he is watching Mewtwo.
Lin Mo put on the headband and started the second day of simulation.
As time passed, after seeing the deed text displayed on the simulator, his expression gradually changed from calm to surprised.
Until the end, his brows were furrowed, his face was terrifyingly gloomy, and his expression showed an anger he had never seen before.
