Chapter 234 Louis and Lamar
Time goes back to 72 hours ago.
Chen Ke, Sam and Gina walked out of the hospital and stood at the gate to say goodbye. Chen Ke asked about their future plans.
Sam was not originally a local of Opportunity City. He came to Opportunity City in recent days just to see if he could use his military career to seek an investigator job in the spiritual enterprise.
However, after experiencing the previous events, he is now a little hesitant. With the mind of an ordinary person, not to mention facing those monsters directly, just being trapped in that strange world is enough to make people collapse. Sam feels that he is better at fighting in familiar places, rather than in a bizarre and strange world.
In addition, the dark cloud of ash has been shrouding his heart. Maybe he will be ash in the next second... This feeling of death at this moment makes him very irritable. In this state of mind, Sam can't devote himself to work.
"I don't know what I should do now. Maybe I will give myself a long vacation. My savings are enough. I can wait..." Sam said, with a somewhat embarrassed tone.
Chen Ke knew what Sam was waiting for, waiting for himself to find a way to cure the symptoms of ash. Although Chen Ke also wanted to help, he could not make any promises...
The ash-turning symptoms reminded Chen Ke of Van Hede's Black Ring Disease. Although he had forgotten what the Black Ring Disease would turn a person into, it was still an incurable disease.
Gina's psychological burden was much lighter. Although she also suspected that she might also turn into ash, it was just a suspicion. Now she has completely gotten out of this incident. For her, everything is over.
But Gina did not seem to cut off contact with Chen Ke and Sam. She asked for Sam and Chen Ke's contact information and promised to use her own connections to find a cure for the ash-turning symptoms, although the hope was not great.
"I advise you to live a more Buddhist life in the next few days..." Chen Ke said to Sam.
"Of course, I may just lie in bed and play with my phone during this period... Chen Ke, although this does not make sense... but... I will rely on you..." Sam said.
Chen Ke nodded and did not make any promises. He would not promise the other party something that he might not be able to do.
In this way, the two said goodbye to Chen Ke and went back by car.
Chen Ke still had a lot of things to deal with at this time.
The two buddies brought out from the 2006 timeline are now temporarily staying at Chen Ke's place, which is definitely not a long-term solution.
Chen Ke's identity and what he is going to do are naturally known to as few people as possible, but the two of them really have nowhere to go now. As the person who rescued them, Chen Ke had to let them have a foothold in this world for the time being, and they still need to make long-term plans in the future.
On the other hand, after Diana knew about the rental house as a hiding place, Chen Ke had to change houses... It's not that he didn't trust Diana. First of all, Diana had already expressed her attitude, and the Administration might also track it down here. Besides, Asra had known his residence for a long time. Now there are two more ordinary people in the house. Maybe one day Chen Ke will cause them to die in the room.
Finally, it's interpersonal relationships... He must respond one by one and eliminate their unilateral anxiety. It's okay with Pihom, but will Lester think that he has given up and run away? This is related to his professional reputation in the killer industry.
Whether it is to contact the extraordinary organization or to make money, the relationship of Lester's lineage needs to be well maintained. Although he now has more than a week of life reserve, he should not waste it casually.
He made up his mind to go back to the rental place first to find out what the two people are planning, and then immediately move to a nearby hotel to relax, and then change clothes to contact Pihom and Lester...
Chen Ke suddenly remembered that the first target to be assassinated will appear in the Holy Oak Villa area around 11 o'clock tonight.
It is now 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and time is a bit tight... He must change clothes first. The blue suit jacket is still stained with sweat and blood from Diana.
Chen Ke stopped a taxi and rushed to his residence. In the car, he first contacted Lester.
"Ah, Chen Ke! Where have you been these two days? I haven't been able to contact you." Lester still had the same tone, and he didn't sound unhappy, but Chen Ke knew that as a killer, if the employer could not contact him, the consequences would be serious.
"I went to deal with some personal grudges... You know, people like us always have some enemies..." Chen Ke said.
"Well... I know... I hope you have solved all the problems. It won't affect the action tonight...?" Lester asked.
"No, the mission must be accomplished." Chen Ke said.
Lester smiled with satisfaction and said nothing more.
"Can you send someone to deliver the suit... Then, I have another suit that needs to be cleaned..." Chen Ke said.
"No problem, it will be delivered within 1 hour." Lester smiled.
Chen Ke hung up the phone, which was considered to have solved one thing. After flipping through the text messages in the car, he came to the downstairs of the rented apartment.
Chen Ke walked upstairs quickly. When he opened the door, Rama was walking around the room, and Louis was studying the Glock pistol on the bed.
"Hey... That's a real gun." Chen Ke reminded.
Louis threw the gun on the bed and smiled embarrassedly. Rama looked confused, retracted his gaze from the window, and looked at Chen Ke.
"Gentlemen, your name is... Rama? And you, your name is Louis? Right?" Chen Ke asked, pulling out a chair from the side and sitting down.
The two nodded.
"There are some things I need to make clear to you first... You have to be mentally prepared." Chen Ke said slowly.
The two looked at each other, and Louis showed an attentive smile.
"Let's put it this way... Although you have escaped from that world... But as I said, you still have the possibility of turning into ashes, so... I want to hear your plans now, what did you do there before?" Chen Ke said.
Rama looked at Louis, who seemed not good at speaking.
"It's a long story." Louis sat on the bed and took over.
"Then tell me." Chen Ke said, waiting for Lester's younger brother to deliver clothes.
"It all started that morning. Rama and I didn't know each other before. If that thing hadn't happened that day, I might never have met him in my life. You know, sometimes fate is so wonderful. He and I live in East City and West City respectively. We have completely different jobs, hobbies, skin colors, and social circles, but we still meet. Sometimes fate is so wonderful. Maybe Rama and I will become very, very good friends, or maybe... all this is just a coincidence..." Louis chattered.
"Wait... you are talking about what happened after the disaster there... ? What I want to ask is, before that, when it was still normal, what did you do...?" Chen Ke said.
"Oh! You want to ask about my career! I understand, I understand... I have had many careers, but none of them lasted long. Those bosses always had many reasons to fire me. There is a pizza shop in Xiaoyao City. I used to work there, but one day I met a man who wanted to eat a free meal. The manager wanted me to deal with that matter, so I went over and said to him, hey! Brother, pizza needs to be paid! He told me, pay Nima, eat shit! Then I went to tell the manager that the man asked you to eat shit, so the manager told me that you don't have to come to work the next day..." Louis said.
"Stop... stop... I understand... Where is Rama... Rama, what do you do?" Chen Ke had enough of Louis's long speech and turned to look at Rama.
"I was just released on the day of the accident. I always thought it was God's punishment for me." Rama is a black man who speaks like he is singing R&B.
"Okay..." Chen Ke sighed, these two people are a little abnormal...
