Ever since he was single, Louis has never felt that he has any special charm as a man.
He had liked Wen Xiaolu for three years, but in the end he couldn't even say the three words "I like you".
Perhaps this is the regret of youth.
But, when did he become so popular with women???
Louis looked at Yin Yun, who had short black hair and was holding his arm, in astonishment.
Then he looked at Xia Qianqing, who was pulling his arm on the other side and looked like someone's tail was stepped on and his fur stood on end.
Xia Qianqing's eyes met Yin Yun's, and the air between their gazes seemed to be able to see electric arcs.
Just at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Free lottery, free lottery, the winner will receive a mysterious gift package."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man wearing a clown mask walking towards them.
The man was thin, about 1.80 meters tall, wearing a red suit, and had a strange walking posture. He looked exactly like the Joker in Gotham City.
"Hi, gentlemen and ladies, do you want to draw a prize? The winner will receive a mysterious gift package." The clown said as he conjured up a deck of playing cards. The playing cards fluttered in his palms, as if they had become toys that he could do whatever he wanted. His gorgeous playing skills were simply pleasing to the eye.
After a while, he pulled out five playing cards and showed them with a mysterious smile on his face: "The rules are very simple, let's compare the size. Here are five cards, each person draws one, and the lucky person with the largest card will get a balloon. And if the card is bigger than mine, the mysterious gift package will be yours."
The confrontation between Xia Qianqing and Yin Yun was temporarily shelved.
Everyone's eyes focused on the clown, and then turned to Xia Qianqing.
"Haven't you come here for inspection many times? Have you had this kind of activity before?" Yin Yun leaned close to Xia Qianqing and asked in a low voice.
Xia Qianqing frowned. She quickly glanced at the clown's data. Judging from the data, these were all normal people's values.
"Why does this feel so weird?" Xia Qianqing muttered in a low voice. She was full of confusion. She had never encountered this kind of lottery event when she came here in the past few days.
Although this clown looks a little strange, there is indeed no problem with his numerical values, they are just the values of a normal person.
Xia Qianqing covered his mouth with one hand and lowered his voice even lower: "I don't know, I've never encountered such a situation before, but judging from the numerical value, he should not be a mutant."
Keiji Miyamoto was originally sitting on a wooden chair nearby. At this moment, he came to the clown, frowned slightly, and a look of surprise and confusion appeared on his face.
"Strange, is it really my perception that is wrong?" he muttered softly.
Just now, he clearly felt an extremely powerful aura suddenly emerging from the front, and then he saw the clown walking towards them.
However, that powerful aura only existed for a moment before it quickly disappeared without a trace, so quickly that Miyamoto Keiji even began to wonder if he was hallucinating.
"Oh, sir, do you want to be the first lucky person to draw the lottery? Come on, choose a poker card that belongs to you, and then tell me what your card is." The clown approached Keiji Miyamoto who walked forward with great interest. He waved the five poker cards in his hand, motioning Keiji Miyamoto to draw one.
Keiji Miyamoto was a little hesitant for a moment, but the other party's enthusiasm made it difficult for him to refuse.
"Louis, you draw first." Miyamoto Keiji waved his hands. In his opinion, it is natural to give way to the strong.
The Joker's gaze slowly turned to Louis. He walked with exaggerated steps, and his bright red suit was particularly eye-catching.
After walking a few steps, the clown came to Louis, knelt on one knee, and said sincerely: "Oh, sir, come and draw a card. I wish you a happy life."
Louis stared at the two eyes exposed under the clown mask and was silent for a second. He thought to himself, "Although I don't know where this guy comes from, but since Xia Qianqing said the value is fine, there shouldn't be too much risk. In this case, it's okay to have some fun."
Louis reached out his hand, pulled out a card from the five playing cards, turned it over and saw it was the "Ace of Spades".
"Mr. Louis, what do you think of this world?" the clown suddenly asked.
As the clown asked the question, the world around him seemed to stop for a moment, and time froze at this moment.
Louis held the Ace of Spades tightly between his two fingers, raised his head slightly, and looked directly at the Joker. His face seemed calm, but the slight tremor in his eyes betrayed his inner unrest: "How did you hide it from the [Appraisal]?"
"Also, when you ask me questions, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"
The clown was wearing a red suit. He raised his head and laughed heartily. "You are really interesting, Mr. Louis. This is the first time we meet. I will introduce myself to you."
"But, Mr. Louis, please answer my question first. I will consider whether to introduce myself based on your answer."
Question? How is the world?
The corner of Louis' mouth twitched. Is this guy sick?
What else could the world be like?
Even if you die, the world will still turn and remain unchanged. The world... is eternal.
"Please answer carefully, Mr. Louis. A lot of things have happened around you, haven't they?"
"You failed to protect the girl who had been waiting for you in the sunset and had a crush on you."
"You also didn't get to make an earth-shattering confession during your last days in high school."
"The worst thing is that you killed a poor girl with your own hands in the base of the Court of All Living Things."
“What is the world like?”
"Can you answer this seriously?"
"Don't try to kill me. You should have realized that I am just an illusion."
The clown's scarlet lips were stretched to a grin that seemed to reach his ears, and his eyes were full of teasing, as if he was mocking Louis, who was provoked to anger by his few words.
Louis' face showed a trace of anger, his expression was as cold as black water, he asked coldly: "Why do you know this?"
"Please answer my question first, Mr. Louis." The clown suddenly jumped back into the air, holding a black umbrella in his hand. He slowly opened the umbrella, and under the dazzling light of the sun, the black umbrella blocked the scorching sun, and a black shadow enveloped Louis' surroundings. Everything around him seemed to be still at this moment.
"The world...it's cruel."
“It’s not fair.”
“But the world is full of love.”
"It's fair."
Louis slowly lowered his hands, stared at the clown who was blocking the scorching sun in the air, and spoke softly.
"The world is an illusion."
"A very real illusion."
