Alice's Dream Club
# 25. Dead end? Or... redemption?
This is the first real contact with Mr. Qi. In previous meetings, Mr. Qi would either keep a considerable distance, or he would be on the other side of the desk.
In addition to the weird strength he possessed, Wang Lin could also feel his body temperature which was different from ordinary people through the clothes on his cuffs.
It can't be called very obvious, but it is enough for Wang Lin to come to the conclusion of "abnormal".
Thinking of what he had learned, Wang Lin subconsciously slowed down—the vampires in the legends would have a very low body temperature, and besides that, there were zombies and wraiths.
As this idea popped up, an emotion called panic hovered in his chest, and that coldness quickly spread to his whole body, and his already slowed down footsteps came to a faint stop.
So Wang Lin was dragged into the mud by Mr. Qi.
No matter from whose point of view, Wang Lin's fall was Mr. Qi's unintentional fault. Although this is true, Mr. Qi also expressed his apology on his own initiative.
"Are you okay? Why are you walking so carelessly?"
Wang Lin: "..."
Leaning over to Wang Lin and reaching out his hand, suppressing the anger in his heart caused by these words, Wang Lin stood up by himself, and Mr. Qi withdrew his gesture of helping without any embarrassment.
Although a little uncomfortable, the fear in my heart just now disappeared a lot under the words after the fall.
Glancing at Mr. Qi from the corner of his eye, what Wang Lin could see was still that hypocritical and indifferent face.
The fading sense of fear made Wang Lin less panicked, and with Mr. Qi's strange power, Wang Lin knew that even if he ran, he couldn't run away.
Instead of thinking about those useless things and fearing some existences that are at least unfounded now, it's not to calmly accept Mr. Qi's invitation, at least this way I won't be intimidated by my own suspicions.
With a decision in mind, there will be no needless fear. He nodded at Mr. Qi, and Wang Lin took a step forward.
Seeing Wang Lin's mentality change, Mr. Qi's mouth finally had an emotional arc, but this arc disappeared very quickly.
He coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Wang Lin, this is where you can drink."
Wang Lin: "..."
Went to the drinking place together with Mr. Qi, seeing the name of the store, Wang Lin couldn't help but feel a little subtle.
This is where I met the person from the cutting-edge company just now.
Wang Lin didn't know if Mr. Qi brought him here on purpose, at least he couldn't tell from his expression, but since he came, he would be at ease, he was already like this now, before the club gave him a clear answer, The word security has never had anything to do with itself.
It's still the same corner, it's still the same position.
The difference from just now is that Mr. Qi did not sit where the tall and thin man sat, but on the other side of the sofa seat.
After ordering the drinks, Mr. Qi took a sip of the wine and said, "Actually, I don't quite understand why you guys like to drink this kind of thing."
Shrugging his shoulders noncommittally, Wang Lin leaned on the back of the sofa chair, and the aura called Po Can Po Fall was revealed inadvertently.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Although he did intend to break the pot, but after hearing Mr. Qi's words, Wang Lin restrained himself a little, and even seemed to be sitting upright.
"Through this period of cooperation, I understand that Mr. Wang Lin is a person with great potential." Mr. Qi took out a small envelope from the inner pocket of his suit and put it on the table. It's hard to see what's inside.
"Of course, I'm a businessman, so I won't talk empty words." Pushing the envelope towards Wang Lin, Mr. Qi continued, "It contains your reward for this operation, sir, and the rewards for your actions every time we have cooperated these days." You can treat it as a mental damage fee."
Wang Lin's instinctive desire for money drove Wang Lin to open the envelope.
There was no cash in it, but a bank debit card.
"I have already completed the relevant procedures for you, so you don't have to worry about being traced to the source of the money. Naturally, there is also a little thank you based on my personal. The password is your birthday. I hope you don't would be disgusted."
Several times of cooperation made Wang Lin understand how rich this Mr. Qi is. Although it is true that the actual amount cannot be seen if only one card is given, Wang Lin has reason to believe that he has no reason to deceive himself.
After all, his life is in his hands.
However, Wang Lin did not immediately accept this card.
He pushed the card between the two of them, although he was nervous, he remained relatively calm.
"Mr. Qi, what does compensation mean, and what does action mean?" Wang Lin is not an idiot, and he has a little understanding of the possible developments of such a scene, "Since you want to abandon the flag, there is no need to repeat this Let's play the scene."
Wang Lin is a bit regretful now, regretting that he was too impulsive when he was in that club, which led to the end of burning things that protected his safety.
He looked at Mr. Qi with an unfriendly expression, and there was a big chance that the next second would be a deadly battle.
Hearing the second half of Wang Lin's words, Mr. Qi, who was sipping his wine, suddenly stopped holding his glass.
"……ah?"
"……Um?"
After being stunned for a moment, Mr. Qi belatedly understood what Wang Lin was talking about. With the same weird expression on his face, Mr. Qi put down his wine glass.
"I think you seem to have misunderstood something."
"Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding could there be?" Wang Lin's face was a little cold, and his tone became low, "Give me money and talk so much, it's nothing more than..."
"It seems that you don't intend to ask for the money."
While interrupting Wang Lin, Mr. Qi reached out to take back the money.
Mr. Qi's performance made Wang Lin stunned for a moment, and the moment his hand was placed on the envelope, Wang Lin stretched out his hand and pressed the envelope in a strange way.
"Wait, you...don't intend to kill me?"
"Why do you want to silence? We have cooperated so happily, please give me a reason to silence."
Letting go of his hand, Mr. Qi sighed softly.
"I admit that apart from compensating for my previous actions, I have another purpose for coming to you, but obviously I have no intention of silence."
He took out another envelope and put it on the table, and he continued while pushing it towards Wang Lin.
"Because if I have this thought, there is no need to act with you, and there is no need to pay an extra fee, do you think so?"
Mr. Qi's tone was very calm, and his attitude was very peaceful, as if he was talking about an unimportant matter.
Including how to make a person disappear quietly from the world.
Sitting back on the sofa chair, Wang Lin stared straight into Mr. Qi's eyes.
He was a little confused about what was going on in front of him now, but combined with Mr. Qi's words just now, he had a hunch that what he heard next would definitely shock him even more.
"Want to make a bet?" Lynch, disguised as a bartender, wiped the wine dish in his hand. He looked at Alice dressed as a waiter, with indescribable confidence on his face, "Let me tell you, this bet I haven't lost anything yet."
Alice stood quietly in front of the bar, her mouth didn't show any sign of opening, but Lynch could clearly hear her voice.
"Master, the aggressive method doesn't work for me."
Hearing this, Lynch frowned: "Then what is useful? Is it useful to threaten dismissal?"
This reason caused Alice to have obvious intentions, and the specific manifestation was that she subconsciously pinched a crack on the tray in her hand.
But even so, she still said that she would never gamble: "Master, if you want to take revenge, just come here..."
Alice's insistence made Lynch suddenly think of another possibility. He lowered his voice and said in a surprised tone: "So you really have the physique to lose every bet?"
Alice thought for a while, then turned her face away: "...um..."
If the two people in the corner hadn't finally started to get to the point, Lynch would definitely be exclaiming because of Alice's astonishing setting.
This is as exciting as all multiple-choice questions have only two options, and after doing it, it is found that the correct answer can always be bypassed and all wrong.
However, it can be regarded as knowing a new attribute of Alice, and Lynch thinks that he can verify it in person when he has time in the future to pass the time.
After a brief silence, Mr. Qi finally spoke.
"Actually, I am not an employee of an energy company, or in other words, my job is not in an energy company."
Wang Lin nodded and said that he guessed right, otherwise the person opposite would not have made such a foreshadowing.
"With the deepening of the investigation, I believe that Mr. Wang Lin, you have learned something, something that should not be known."
Wang Lin signaled that Mr. Qi didn't need to take care of his comprehension.
"Generally speaking, there are only two options for those who understand these messages. The first is to be discovered and erased by those existences. I don't think I need to explain the meaning of erasure; Disappearance in the world, of course, this disappearance is not necessarily death, but it is also leaving this world."
"So Mr. Qi is planning to provide me with a third way out?" Wang Lin couldn't help asking.
"Well," Mr. Qi nodded, "of course not."
"..."
"As I said just now, there are only two paths, and what I offer you is naturally the second path..."
"Isn't this trying to silence you?" Wang Lin slapped the table violently, and after growling, Wang Lin realized that he had attracted the attention of the tavern staff. He sat back on the sofa chair and stared at Mr. Qi. , "Hmph, bring up hope and shatter it severely, you..."
"...a fork in the road..."
Mr. Qi's complexion finally changed a little, but he restrained the slight change soon.
Sighing a little helplessly, he said again: "I said that disappearing is not just about death, and what I am offering you now is the choice to become one of us."
