The signing event was held in the lobby of a hotel.
It was just past lunchtime, and the event hadn't officially started yet, but the lobby was already crowded with people … all of them were fans of Sensei Cha Tian. This comic had been published for more than 30 years, and had once become a global hit.
The reporters were interviewing the fans who had been waiting for a long time.
Natsuya Suzuki and the child pushed left and right, and after scaring a few elderly women, they successfully came to a corner of the lobby … Natsuya Suzuki looked at the comic in the child's hands and shook his head disdainfully.
He had been trying to explain to the child all the way, using all kinds of methods, dancing with joy, and almost running out of words.
This thing is not fun to watch. The fighters inside are so weak that I can fight a whole group of them without taking a break. It's just that the Pantheon is a little troublesome.
The child stared at her suspiciously. Suzuki had no choice but to stammer. After a while, she told her the gist of it. Perhaps, there were a few difficult ones.
"… Kid, get the autograph and leave immediately!"
But … there was a queue.
Natsuya Suzuki couldn't do anything evil here, so he could only impatiently line up behind a fat middle-aged man in a white short-sleeved shirt.
He glared at the man in front of him, and the man was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and automatically gave up his position. Natsuya Suzuki was delighted. He felt that he could stare all the way and be the first to get the autograph.
So he really used some tricks and stood at the front of the line … The child gradually showed a look of expectation.
"What, it starts at three o 'clock?"
Natsuya Suzuki looked at the time — it was only seven minutes past one o 'clock.
He turned around and looked at the crowded scene. Suddenly, he felt extremely regretful and wondered if he should tear down the hotel lobby.
But he was only responsible for collecting debts in the store, and he didn't belong to the system of promoting performance, so he really couldn't do it casually … But if he considered the situation of the continuous strange things in society these days, it seemed that he could do something.
Natsuya Suzuki really didn't want to stand in this place for nearly two hours. After glancing at the child who was full of expectation, he coughed twice.
"Brat! I need to go to the bathroom. Wait for me here. Don't walk too fast, do you hear me? "
The child nodded silently.
Natsuya Suzuki put his hands in his pockets, nodded, and walked out.
…
In the same hotel, in a quiet and comfortable lounge on the upper floor.
A young girl in a white dress was sitting in front of the piano, playing the world-famous song [Adeline by the Water].
The young girl had a face as pure as an angel's. Even the light seemed to soften around her.
The sound of the zither soothed the people around them.
On the sofa, an ordinary-looking old man with grizzled hair was quietly reading the newspaper.
The newspaper was about some strange things that happened in the past few days … The old man seemed to be absorbed in reading it. Even after the girl finished playing the song, he still didn't react.
"Father."
The girl had already arrived in front of the man … She really looked flawless, whether it was her appearance or her bearing.
"Oh … I'm thinking about something." The old man folded the newspaper and put it on the table.
The girl glanced at a certain headline and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Father, do you believe in the things in the newspaper? I mean, those strange things. "
The old man thought for a while and said, "Saori, you have to understand that the world we live in hides many secrets. So, if it doesn't happen in front of you, how can you be sure whether it's true or not?"
"Common sense, social cognition, and … science." The girl pondered for a while before giving her answer.
The old man smiled faintly, "Actually, you still need to be skeptical."
The girl named Saori shook her head and looked at the man in front of her. In fact, she wasn't this man's biological daughter. She was adopted by him when she was young.
Even so, he had always been very good to her in these ten years … There was no strange reason, nor was there any twisted emotions involved. He really only treated her as his own daughter.
She could feel … Her senses were very sharp since she was young, as if she could see through people's hearts.
"Father, I've been having strange dreams recently." Saori suddenly said.
"What dreams?" The old man looked up in surprise. His gaze was calm.
Saori slowly said, "Some very strange content, like the content of the manga you created … In the dream, I seemed to be another person."
"Who?" The old man seemed to be curious, but his gaze was still calm.
"The goddess in the manga …" Saori shook her head and sat down. She seemed to be tired, "There are many more. It seems to be a complete world, but it's fragmented. It seems to be different from the manga you created, but there are some similarities … I don't understand."
"That's just a dream." The old man smiled, "You should know, before I adopted you, I was already creating this manga. Of course, because I love it from the bottom of my heart, I gave you the name Saori when I adopted you. "
But those dreams that intruded into her sleep were so real, as if they had happened before … Saori opened her mouth, but in the end, she just hid it in the bottom of her heart.
Experiment, social cognition … Science, all these things she learned told her that those were just dreams, strange dreams, perhaps caused by some kind of psychological pressure.
"Okay, maybe you need to have a good rest." The old man suddenly said, "In the signing event, you can rest here. You don't need to accompany me."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the lounge. It was the staff of the signing event in the hotel lobby, as well as the old man's personal assistant. They were outside the door.
"Teacher Che Tian, it's almost time. You may need to prepare for your appearance."
"I'll be right there." The old man stood up, tidied his clothes, and looked at his daughter with a smile, "Then, if the things in the dream are real, will you look forward to it?"
The girl fell into silence, as if she was seriously thinking about this question.
The old man said, "But in fact, I don't look forward to the day when the world in my manga becomes real."
'What does father mean?'
The doubt in the young girl's heart deepened.
"I'll go to the washroom, you stay here." The old man … Teacher Che Tian said softly.
…
He indeed went to the washroom. The staff and his assistant were waiting outside the door … Because there was still plenty of time, the two were chatting about something.
It seemed to be some strange stories about this hotel.
Once, a firefighter was burned to death here. After that, the hotel guests claimed to see a man in a firefighter's uniform wandering in the corridor at night.
Of course, not all of them, only a small part of them, and they would soon forget about it … But it was said that someone saw it last night, no one knew if it was true or not.
The assistant pretended to be serious and said these strange things happened recently.
The staff member simply lit a cigarette and didn't care … But at this time, a hand suddenly reached out and extinguished the cigarette butt that the staff member had just lit.
"Bastard, didn't you see that smoking is prohibited here? I hate people smoking! "
The staff was stunned and turned his head, only to see a ferocious-looking young man … He was really ferocious, with a ferocious look in his eyes.
If looks could kill, this young man's eyes would kill.
The staff member instinctively shuddered. He was shocked and thought to himself, 'How scary … Obviously, the other party's appearance was quite handsome.'
Why was he so ferocious?
"I … I'm sorry."
Due to the ferocious look, the staff hurriedly lowered his head and apologized.
The ferocious young man snorted, still looking like he was looking for a fight. He walked to the door of the washroom, pushing the door open and walking in.
"Teacher Che Tian is inside!" The assistant was startled, worrying that this ferocious young man would do something, but he didn't dare to come forward.
The staff shook his head, pointing to the crumpled cigarette in the nearby trash can — it was the one that the ferocious-looking young man had taken away from him.
"Maybe he's just a bit ferocious, but he's actually a nice person?" He said.
The assistant thought for a while, feeling a bit worried, he gently opened the door of the washroom and looked inside.
He found that the ferocious-looking young man didn't do anything. He was standing in front of the toilet, shaking twice … It seemed that he thought too much. The assistant felt ashamed and closed the door.
At this time, the staff next to him suddenly became motionless.
The assistant patted his shoulder doubtfully … but with just a simple pat, the staff directly fell to the ground with a pale face!
The assistant couldn't help but raise his head, his pupils suddenly widened.
He saw a person … a firefighter, whose face was burned black and brown, but was still burning!
The assistant's lips trembled, and when he was about to scream in horror, the strange man directly passed through him … as if he was divorced, the assistant didn't make a sound and fell on the staff on the ground.
The firefighter with the burning face didn't stop, but just walked deep into the corridor.
…
In the washroom, Natsuya Suzuki shivered, and began to pull up his pants with satisfaction.
At this time, a well-dressed man with gray hair came out, looking at Natsuya Suzuki … Mr. Che Tian who had just come out wasn't surprised by Natsuya Suzuki's ferocious eyes.
"Eh?" Suzuki, on the other hand, was surprised. She quickly fastened her pants and turned around. She stared at Che Tian sensei from head to toe, blinked, and said, "How can there be a guy like you in this broken place?"
Mr. Che Tian couldn't help frowning.
At this time, Natsuya Suzuki suddenly moved … he simply put his hands into the pockets of his pants, and at the same time, a substantial pressure rushed towards Mr. Che Tian like a stormy sea!
The tiles and utensils in the washroom couldn't bear this pressure, cracking.
Mr. Che Tian frowned deeper … facing the surging pressure, he gently waved his hand and pressed down, suppressing this invisible and terrifying pressure.
Suzuki, on the other hand, was all smiles. She looked at Sensei and seemed to be quite happy. "Old man, is there anything you can't solve? I'll help you! Don't worry, the price is fair, cheap and easy to use! "
Mr. Che Tian was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "I don't need any help … As long as you don't trouble me, you've done me a favor."
But he was vigilant in his heart … He knew this ferocious young man was just probing him, far from showing his real strength.
Without thinking, Suzuki Xiaya waved his hand, and a white card flew towards Mr. Cheda. "Don't worry. I've seen a lot of people like you. They also feel that they have nothing to solve, but one day, they will find that there are still some things in the world that are beyond their power … This is my private number. You are welcome to call me at any time."
Mr. Che Tian glanced at the card.
Name: Natsuya Suzuki
Management: Accept all kinds of debt collection business, professional intimidation, recovering all kinds of organs, cleaning gang members of traitors, professional development of special bloody projects such as painting walls, etc.
Phone number: XXXXX91
"Okay, I'll take it." Mr. Che Tian casually put the card into his clothes, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Suzuki."
Natsuya Suzuki nodded with satisfaction … Although he was a professional debt collector, it was good to get some business from time to time!
His vacation had been used up, and the extra performance was used on the kid. Now he was poor and urgently needed some money, so he had to work as a salesman.
— Who said I can only be a thug with my IQ?
— I can make a living for hundreds of years! I'll meet the best when I go out! Are you scared?!
"You're welcome!"
Natsuya Suzuki wasn't fierce at all, "Remember to call me if you need anything! Oh … right! If you meet some guys who are stealthily circling around you, trying to lure you into buying something from them, you don't have to be polite. Just beat them up as hard as you can. Remember to look for me! "
"Okay, I'll remember." Mr. Che Tian nodded.
"Old man, you're so easy to talk to," Natsuya Suzuki greeted him with a smile, then pushed open the door and walked out.
He really walked out from there without any intention of stopping.
He's an interesting guy, right? Mr. Che Tian thought silently … But at the same time, he was shocked by the unfathomable strength of the other party — Mr. Che Tian hadn't met someone who could give him such pressure in a long, long time.
Mr. Che Tian stood in front of the mirror silently thinking about the various ghost stories that had started to appear in the past few days. In the mirror, the old and ordinary face gradually changed … Finally, it became a handsome and gentle face.
"Holy Domain …"
Mr. Che Tian whispered.
