Looking back to this day, Virgil still remembers that afternoon.
The weather was very nice that day.
But it was a very bad day for Virgil.
Because he held countless bills in his hands.
Correspondingly, Virgil's bank account is increasingly stretched.
He opened the drawer and looked at the Colt 1911 pistol lying in the drawer.
Of course...even if he is heavily in debt, he will not consider suicide. The reason why he looks at this gun is to recall some of the glory that belongs to the family...although there is no family to speak of now.
This is the pistol my grandfather used when he fought in World War II.
In the end, his father insisted on keeping the gun handed down from his grandfather. But in the end, he only had glory left to speak of, and glory could not prevent him from dying of illness.
Virgil looked at the translation manuscripts on his desk that he had completed more than half of. He was proficient in Latin and had always used translation manuscripts as his main source of employment. However, the publisher repeatedly withheld wages, and it was difficult for him to even pay social insurance.
At this moment, the mobile phone on his desk rang.
Virgil picked up the phone and looked at it doubtfully, and then froze.
Because the caller is...
"Lelia Faust???"
Virgil picked up the phone, and for a moment he even wondered if he had seen it wrong.
About a month ago, college classmates reorganized a class reunion.
At that class reunion, Virgil saw his former classmates. Most of them were doing much better than him.
The reason why he went to the class reunion was actually just to meet again with a few people with whom he could still chat with.
And at the class reunion, Virgil met again...Lelia Faust.
Her special surname and amazing beauty are all impressive to people.
Virgil looked at his cell phone and was stunned for a few seconds. At that time, classmates were just exchanging cell phone numbers with each other out of politeness. He never thought that this popular figure in the school was even the cheerleader of the school football team.
The college beauty who was overwhelmed by her beauty actually took the initiative to contact me?
Finally, Virgil answered the phone.
"Hello... hello?"
"Hello, Virgil." came her mobile phone with her extremely standard British English pronunciation that was completely different from American English.
At the beginning, everyone had rumors that Lelia Faust was an aristocratic lady from Europe. The most exaggerated rumor was that their family was guests of Buckingham Palace. Although this is an exaggeration, Americans are familiar with the distance.
After all, the understanding of British nobles in Europe is limited, so there are still many people who believe it. At least, there is no doubt that Lelia Faust's family is very rich.
Virgil has always wanted to save money to travel to Eurasia. His grandmother is French and his mother is Chinese. So, he has always wanted to travel across Eurasia, but now, he can't even pay the bills.
.
Many Americans have a sense of superiority in front of Europeans, and even think that Americans can go to Europe and hunt as much as they want, because the whole world is yearning for the United States. Virgil really can't understand this sense of superiority, but the United States is nothing.
With a history of less than three hundred years, the cultural heritage of European history is much longer.
During the class reunion, Lelia mentioned that she would not stay in the United States for too long this time, so is she still in the United States, or... has she returned to Europe?
"Well, are you free tomorrow? I want to meet you. There are some things I want to discuss with you."
See you tomorrow... So, she is still in the United States? Well, to be precise, she is still in Los Angeles?
"Okay, okay. I'm free tomorrow."
The translation of the book manuscript has almost been completed.
But the question is... why is Lelia looking for herself?
In college, he and Lelia could only be considered moderate friends. This was because he studied European history very well, so he and Lelia were able to chat relatively well, and their historical views were surprisingly consistent.
"I want to make a suggestion to you. I would like to meet and discuss this suggestion with you tomorrow."
"Suggestion?" Virgil remembered that at the class reunion, he mentioned his current career situation to Lelia.
"Well, I can't tell you what the suggestion is now?"
Could it be that... she wanted to introduce herself to a job for the sake of friendship between classmates?
Looking at the thick bills next to him, for Virgil now, work is indeed a top priority. It is indeed difficult to pay these bills just by translating manuscripts.
"I'm sorry, this is not something that can be explained clearly on the phone. But... I remind you that this suggestion will be accompanied by dangers. But the dangers will also bring huge benefits. You have one day to think about it. Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning
Click here to meet and I will send you the address via text message."
"Danger?"
"Yes. You should think about it carefully."
With danger comes profit... Could it be that you want to introduce him to some illegal profession?
But recalling his impression of Lelia when he was a student, Virgil thought it was unlikely. She didn't look like such a person.
"Okay, I will consider it."
…
That night, Virgil thought about Lelia's phone call over and over again.
When I was in college, when my class saw Lelia, a British international student, for the first time, countless people were shocked. She looked no less than those female stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, regardless of appearance or appearance.
The figure can bring 100% head-turning rate when walking.
Many clubs invited her to join, but she was not interested in any of them.
And she doesn’t live in a dormitory, she has always been a day student. Every time she is picked up or dropped off, it is a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
At that time, even if it was James Bond who came to pick her up, some people would believe it.
When everyone saw Lelia at the last class reunion, many people's first reaction was to pay attention to her left ring finger. After discovering that there was no wedding ring on it, many people became keen to reminisce with her. In addition to the fact that there was
Apart from not having a boyfriend, another issue that everyone is concerned about is her current career.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! And her statement is... She has now inherited the family-run hospital and became a surgeon.
This surprised everyone because no one had ever heard her mention that she wanted to be a doctor. Her major in college was not medicine.
The next day.
After some thinking, Virgil decided to go there.
If the suggestion is dangerous or not, just listen to the details and then decide. If it is really a particularly dangerous occupation, just refuse it.
…
…
The memories are over for now.
Virgil, surrounded by a large group of people behind him, walked to the gate of the manor, walked past the heads of the Daeron family, and came to David.
"Hello." Virgil looked at the young David in front of him and introduced himself: "My name is Virgil Faust. Now, I will take you to see Vice Dean Mephis."
Looking at David, who was brought here by the Mellor twins, Virgil thought of himself back then.
What would have happened if he hadn't rushed there the next day when he received Lelia's call?
But now, perhaps David will face the same choice as himself.
Looking at the hanging human heads, David's legs were obviously a little weak. After all, they were not just human heads, but cursed objects!
"He, they... seem to be looking at me..." David noticed early on that the eyes of these heads had been focused on him.
"Don't worry, they are all under the control of my Faust family now." Virgil comforted David.
"Da... Damon Darren, is he in here too?" David had heard this name more than once since entering Hospital No. 666.
"He's not here." Virgil shook his head slightly, "He will handle it specially."
The elder brother of the Mellor twins behind David said: "Remember, when you meet the Vice-President later, don't mention this name in front of him."
The younger brother of the Mellor twins said: "Damon Darren is extremely ignorant to begin with. If it weren't for the witch Lusa Medel, he wouldn't have caused the entire Darren family to perish."
"Let's go." Virgil said, "Don't be nervous. Today...the Vice-Dean will give you a suggestion. Although it is dangerous...it will also bring great benefits."
