I'm doing crazy things in Beng3

"Just tell me straight, what explanation do you want me to give? Do you want me to join your World Snake?"

Since they have sent someone to deliver the message, I'm afraid they have this in mind.

No need to think about it, as long as you open your mouth I will agree on the spot!

Don't even think about refusing, otherwise this underground tunnel, which is tens of thousands of meters deep, might become Lin's tomb in any minute.

This is the lair of the World Serpent!

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If you really have no choice, just join it first. After all, your life is important. Anyway, the treatment of snakes in the world is not bad.

At least the salary is high!

Lin Wei has thought it over - at worst, she can wait for Kevin to come back, then submit a resignation letter to him in person and leave. If the boss agrees, you HR people should just shut up, right?

The plan is passed√!

Raven suddenly stopped, stared at Lin Wei's back, and suddenly laughed.

"Forget it. I think you're pretty pleasing to the eye, so I won't get angry with you. I just said that casually. If you want to join the World Serpent, go and discuss it with the Gray Serpent. He should be waiting for you at the sacrificial site at the exit right now."

The World Serpent is indeed more like an underground religious organization, with a special sacrificial site set up at its headquarters.

"Don't expect me to introduce you. I have already submitted my resignation to the organization. Taking you away from the paradise is my last mission in the organization. From now on, I will be a free man."

Resigned? Listening to Raven's expectant and yearning tone, Lin Wei's heart moved.

"Then I am truly honored to be the last mission of Miss Raven. Have you thought about what to do after you leave here?"

The long and narrow corridor was about to come to an end. A white light could be seen in the distance, making the hooded girl beside him no longer look gloomy.

"Hmm... I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe I can adopt a few kids and live an ordinary and peaceful life in a secluded place... Oh, does that sound unambitious? Don't laugh at me."

Don’t buy any islands!

Lin Wei was thinking about how to put it in a more reasonable way to remind her, when he suddenly noticed that the look in her eyes became extremely vigilant when she looked at him.

Lin Wei understood that look, like a child who was afraid of having his toy taken away.

"How could that be? Why do you think I lived near St. Freya's Academy before? It was because that place was safe enough and I wouldn't be disturbed by others. An ordinary and peaceful life is what I yearn for the most."

"By the way, when are you planning on moving? Don't forget to treat me to a meal when you move into your new home."

Unfortunately, there is no going back. Lin Wei understood this very well.

Raven understood it too, but the look in her eyes told her that she didn't want to understand it now.

After all, you can't wake up someone who's pretending to be asleep, right?

It’s still early, take your time.

Raven looked Lin Wei up and down, smiled, and let go of his inexplicable vigilance.

"You're really rude...Okay, it's settled. I'll treat you to a meal after my new home is finished."

For the last stretch of distance, the two walked together, no longer talking about the World Snake and Collapse, but just chatting about some trivial matters in their lives.

Lin Wei talked about some embarrassing things that happened to him in the past, such as covering everything in his house with blood, thinking there might be some treasure inside; Raven mocked him and asked if he had read too many novels.

Raven talked about some troubles of raising children, such as who is noisy and who is destructive; Lin Wei laughed at her for being a kindergarten teacher.

He walked out of the corridor and came to the ground. He squinted his eyes to adjust to the dazzling sunlight, then looked in the direction that the raven pointed to Lin Wei. The gray snake was waiting for him there.

"See you soon."

Finally, the two waved goodbye and exchanged contact information for the joking "agreement" just now.

In the end, she accepted this superficial friendship and left without any reluctance.

"I hope we won't see each other again..."

Lin Wei smiled and shook her head.

That petite figure walking away was clearly just that of a young girl.

Although she knew it was impossible, Lin Wei still wished him to enjoy the ordinary life he desired.

After doing all this, Lin Wei took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and walked towards the direction that the raven had pointed before, where the gray snake was.

Pushing the door open, there was a rather strange-looking reception room——

There are sofas, benches, and a few green plants dotted in the corners. There are several historic murals hanging on the walls, and steaming tea on the coffee table.

And the "person" sitting there, waiting for him - the gray snake.

Seeing Lin Wei arrive as promised, Gray Snake said with a smile in his muffled voice as if he was wearing a breathing mask,

"Mr. Lin Wei, we meet again..."

Chapter 4: Wouldn’t you consider writing a book?

"Mr. Lin Wei, we meet again..."

Gray Snake smiled and extended his hand to invite Lin Wei to sit down. His movements were as elegant as when they first met.

However, the tightly wrapped hoodie and the "mask" on the face whose material could not be seen made this aristocratic politeness and elegance look quite strange.

Uncanny valley, huh?

Lin Wei curled her lips and said, "Gray Snake, you are a bit too pretentious."

"Long time no see, Mr. Gray Snake."

Lin Wei did not follow Gray Snake's instructions to sit down, but stood at the entrance of the corridor, raised the demon sword in his hand that had almost never been unsheathed, and asked with a smile,

"I don't think it's polite to bring this in. Where do you think I should put it?"

Although judging from Raven's attitude, it was most likely not a Hongmen Banquet. But in the end, it was better to ask about this matter in advance.

Gray Snake is a cultured person, so he has to speak more subtly, otherwise he will be laughed at.

"Mr. Lin Wei is a guest, so it is normal for him to have the concerns of a guest. So if you mind, you can bring it with you."

The gray snake seemed very generous and didn't seem to care.

"As a guest, you still have to follow etiquette. It's better to leave the weapon outside the door."

Lin Wei smiled, glanced around quickly, spotted a row of hooks not far away, and carefully placed the magic sword on them.

There were quite a few umbrellas hung under the row of hooks, all in very uniform shapes, which at first glance suited Gray Snake's aesthetic.

"Mr. Lin Wei is quite frank."

Gray Snake laughed, said something polite, and invited Lin Wei to sit down again.

Lin Wei sat down calmly.

After all, I have just implicitly revealed my attitude - I am not so easy to be manipulated by you, but I have no hostility towards you either.

Since the other party has expressed approval, the most basic mutual trust is established.

"After all, Raven and I get along pretty well. Speaking of which, it's a little hard to get used to her not being around in such a hurry."

Lin Wei smiled and told the truth.

Although he also knew that if Raven appeared here, he would definitely agree with Gray Snake.

"Come to think of it, I did stay in the Paradise for quite a long time. Miss Raven told me that it seemed to have delayed the trial plans of many successors."

Moreover, Lin Wei clearly remembered that he had kicked out a group of people before entering.

Lin Wei touched his chin, his thoughts began to diverge, and the top of his head began to faintly pierce the hole again——

Speaking of which, I still don’t know whether the World Serpent cadres will go into the trial in the paradise of the past one by one or in batches?

They should go in one by one, right? After all, I remember that in the original plot, Raven told Mei that the World Snake officers would not mention their experiences in the Paradise of the Past to each other.

The privacy is quite high.

"It doesn't matter. This is the Lord's will. No one can go against it. Raven naturally understands this, even though she has left the World Serpent."

Gray Snake's tone was neither hurried nor distant, but when he said the word "leave", there was some inexplicable joking. Then he paused slightly and continued to speak.

"Besides, for a larva to metamorphose into a butterfly flying on a branch, or for a seed to sprout and break out of the dark underground, it all takes a little time to settle and ferment, doesn't it?"

The gray snake's tone of voice became full of sighs, as if he was reciting poetry.

"Time! Time... Haha, time is such a wonderful thing - time is the enemy of life, because it will lead you to death; but time is also the friend of life, because it can make you step out of the cradle and grow up."

But his voice sounded like electronic components wrapped tightly in leather, dull and weird.

"…Have you ever considered publishing a book, Mr. Gray Snake?"

Lin Wei just felt a pain in his teeth. I can't handle this artistic guy at all. Is he just playing dumb here?

I’m really sorry for my low level of education!

Larvae? Seeds? Time?

Lin Wei always felt that Gray Snake was referring to something, but it seemed to be something else. She couldn't ask directly, because even if she asked, he wouldn't tell her directly!

All I can say is that the Riddler is like this.

(oへo╬)

Can't you people from the last era speak properly?

"There's no need to publish a book. Snakes are creatures that walk beneath the earth, after all."

Gray Snake seemed to take Lin Wei's complaints as compliments.

Do you really think this is just idle chat? Lin Wei was somewhat helpless.

That’s right, this is the World Serpent Headquarters after all, and as the “master” here, the Gray Snake can naturally sit back and chat with him casually.

"When I heard Miss Raven say this, I thought I would be asked to join the World Serpent as soon as I arrived here?"

If the mountain is me, then I am the mountain. At worst, I can just take the initiative.

"It seems that Mr. Lin Wei is ready to become a member of the Snake?"

The gray snake was still speaking with a smile, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.

Lin Wei thought about it carefully and nodded.

Position, salary, treatment, benefits, whether there are five social insurances and one housing fund, whether to go to work on New Year's Eve...

Tell me, should we sign the contract directly or go through the process first?

Lin Wei thought about it and decided that if Gray Snake asked, it would be the best option to just agree. Otherwise...

He was not ready to become an enemy of the World Serpent.

only……

"It's a pity, Mr. Lin Wei. To be frank, the Snakes have no intention of accepting you as one of their members now."

The gray snake was still smiling, sitting upright and dignified, seemingly non-hostile.

Lin Wei felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. This was beyond his expectations. Was Gray Snake preparing to turn against him?

His eyes were slightly narrowed and his mind was extremely tense. On the one hand, he was on guard against the gray snake in front of him that pretended to be calm, and on the other hand, he was alert to his surroundings.

He was always prepared for a gray snake to suddenly jump out from some inconspicuous corner and shoot him.

"Haha, don't mind, it's just a simple test. It seems that Mr. Lin Wei is also not prepared and still has a lot of hostility towards snakes, or at least is on guard. But this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it makes me appreciate you even more."

Gray Snake spread his hands to show that he had no hostility, and spoke in a calm and gentle tone.

"After all, prudence is a valuable quality, as is wisdom and determination. Although these things are not rare in the strict sense, it does not prevent them from being valuable, right?"

Lin Wei said nothing and remained on guard.

Testing? It seems that it is not that easy to become "friends".

This is the lair of the World Serpent. Since we can't figure out the other party's attitude, we can't relax at all.

Dancing with snakes requires caution.

Although I'm not prepared, the worst that can happen is I'll just turn the table over!

"It was the Lord himself who allowed Mr. Lin Wei to enter the paradise of the afterlife, so the Lord himself should naturally decide whether Mr. Lin Wei should go or stay. As for me, hehe... I am just a mere servant. How can I interfere in his affairs?"

Gray Snake explained slowly and calmly. Seeing that Lin Wei was still on guard, he was not surprised and continued to explain.

"I am a businessman, and I have done business with Mr. Lin Wei before. I invited you to meet here just to reiterate our mutual deal, nothing more. So, can you let your guard down for a while?"
