Chapter 5 Covenant

Thursday afternoon is the legal time for Zhang Heng to be in a daze.

He usually doesn't assign himself any work at this time of the week, but finds a place he likes to huddle and spend his life there to the fullest.

This place can be a park, a temple, a museum... Of course, it can also be a maid cafe as it is now.

Regardless of other factors, the latter is obviously a complete victory in terms of eye-catching degree.

So this is also the place Zhang Heng went to the most when he was in a daze.

"A cup of forbidden love, and a plate of my brother won't work today, thank you." Zhang Heng solemnly lit something he didn't know what it was.

"Okay master, wait a moment." The little maid with cat ears crossed her hands, held the tray to her chest, and said in a gentle tone.

specialized! Zhang Heng gave a thumbs up in his heart. The maids in this store are all part-time college students from nearby schools, and they have a good reputation in the Azhai circle.

In contrast, the owner of the maid cafe on Chunxi Road was very insincere. He hired a group of old aunts in their thirties and forties. It is said that when there were not enough staff, he even tried to fight in person, using his thick legs. Mao Ling caught the nerves of every customer in the store. It was more torture than eating there.

While waiting for the meal, Zhang Heng took a copy of "Spirit of the Halberd" from the surrounding shelves, and just turned over two pages when a voice came from his ear.

"Unfortunately, I still prefer his previous works."

Zhang Heng looked up and found that he didn't know when there was a stranger across from him. At that time, a short old man in a Tang suit but wearing a small top hat and tie, this pair of non-Chinese, non-Western, nondescript dresses made him look whole. It looks weird.

The eyes in the maid cafe were immediately attracted to him.

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, "Zuo Bojun? He used to be a [beep] cartoonist."

"Then it seems that my memory didn't deceive me." The old man cracked his mouth, showing his yellow teeth, "How has the last month been, Zhang Heng, are you still satisfied with my little gift? Don't worry, what you are worried about is That thing doesn't exist, the 24 hours are a bonus and not deducted from your life."

"Did you act on me?" It must be admitted that the opening remarks of the other party successfully attracted Zhang Heng's attention.

"It's not easy for me to do such a thing now, but who makes you the person I value, I always have to give you a gift, right?" The old man stretched out his hand and grabbed the forbidden love directly from the tray. He got up, startling the little maid who had just walked by. The latter looked at Zhang Heng and asked if he needed to call the police.

Zhang Heng shook his head slightly.

"I won't take advantage of you, you can still drink your drink after we finish talking." The old man muttered something incomprehensible, then said solemnly, "Now, let's get down to business, your month I am quite satisfied with the performance, since the probationary period has passed, then it is time to talk about the conditions for regularization.”

"Conditions for normalization?"

"Yeah, to put it simply, I need you to help me win the next game, and the game itself can bring you huge rewards. In addition, you can continue to use the small share I gave you. Gift."

Seeing that Zhang Heng seemed to open his mouth to say something, the old man waved his hand, "I know your family situation, money is not so tempting to you, and it's easy to make money after you have this ability. But trust me, this game will give you more than you can imagine."

"What game?" Zhang Heng asked.

"In the distant past, we used war to settle disputes. It was simple and effective. God, I miss the bloody and beautiful old days. However, the times have been developing, and civilized society should no longer use those savage and primitive means, right? "

The old man drank the cup of forbidden love in his hand in one breath, "So now we use the game to decide the winner or loser, after all, the one sitting on the throne is the nasty guy, limited by those ancient conventions, I can't disclose it to you in advance The content of the game, strictly speaking, our meeting this time is also prohibited, but don’t worry, I can still settle this little trouble.”

"Since this game is so important, why don't you play it yourself?"

"As I said before, limited by some ancient conventions, we can't go out in person, you are like my agent, I put the chips on you, if you win, I will win, you If I lose, I will also lose, we are like grasshoppers on a rope, but my luck is not very good, and the final rankings in the last few games have not been good."

The old man sighed, "As you can see, I am also getting weaker and weaker, so this time I decided to bet early, although this is also very risky, after all, you may also be eliminated halfway."

"Who exactly are you?"

Zhang Heng's brother was not good today. He was also brought up. It was a plate of baked cookies that looked suspicious.

"For now, you can count me as your investor and partner. As for the future, I can only tell you one thing - the longer you stay in this game, the closer you will get to the truth of the world. Okay. Now, we're running out of time, now, tell me your answer."

Zhang Heng looked into the eyes of the old man. The other party just made a long series of speeches that sounded like second-class, but it was quite suitable for the atmosphere of the maid cafe. However, just by being able to call out Zhang Heng's name, there was something about him. Knowing this well, this funny guy is probably not joking, and Zhang Heng must admit that the small gift that the other party gave him is really useful.

This also made him interested in the game the other party said, so Zhang Heng said after a while, "It sounds very interesting, how should I participate?"

"It's very simple, let me see which game point is closest to your school..." The old man took out a Xiaomi mobile phone from his Tang suit pocket, opened Baidu Map and clicked a few times, "Sex and the City Bar, No. 137 Game point, eleven o'clock tonight, you won't regret your decision."

"Oh, I almost forgot." The old man stretched out a hand. "The last step is to conclude a covenant. After shaking hands, you will be mine."

"Please don't use such ambiguous and bad terms, I'm starting to regret it." Zhang Heng also stretched out his right hand.

Holding both hands, Zhang Heng felt that he was touching a cold and hard rock.

The old man seemed to be in good spirits, "Be careful of other guys' agents, but you shouldn't be able to run into each other at the beginning of the game. In addition, no matter what happens, you must give priority to survival."

"Wait, will this game still kill people?" Zhang Heng's eyelids jumped.

"No, it's just death in the game. In reality, it should be more accurate to disappear. Not only will the body disappear, but all memories related to you will also disappear, as if it never existed at all. I know there is a guy I happen to be very good at this kind of thing." The old man said in a plain tone as if he remembered to buy a packet of salt when he went out.

"..."

Zhang Heng wanted to say something else, but his eyes were suddenly in a trance for no apparent reason. The next moment, the old man disappeared in front of him.

The little maid not far away was holding a cup of crimson drink and walked quickly towards here, showing two cute little tiger teeth when she smiled.

"Master, your forbidden love, please use it slowly~"
