Chapter 218 Captain, take off the mask(1/3)
This place is still open, so it is definitely not a serious cafe.
In the same way,
Anyone who wants to drink coffee in a cafe at this point is definitely not a serious person.
Karen stood at the door of the cafe and looked at the neon store sign hanging above:
【Magical fingers and the beautiful sky】
I "translated and understood" in my mind. The name of the store should be understood like this:
【Magic Finger Paradise】
The waiter at the door took the initiative to greet him, and Neo asked for a coffee room.
The waiter looked at Neo and Karen, slightly surprised, but still said immediately:
"Understood, I will make arrangements for you two immediately."
The coffee room is at the corner of the second floor. Once you walk in, the space inside is not big, but it has plenty of depth.
At the door are two small sofas and a coffee table, then inward is a bathroom with a bathtub, then inward is a round bed, and further inward is a long sofa next to the floor-to-ceiling window.
There is a soft cushion thoughtfully placed on the floor in front of the couch.
The lights in the room are dark red, very mysterious, and there are many photos of porn stars hanging on the walls, with charming and provocative expressions.
Karen sat down on the sofa at the door, reached out and lifted the coffee cup, and found that not only the walls of the cup were covered with age-old sugar stains, but also there were cigarette butts stuffed in the cup.
The waiter handed Neo a list of people who would deliver coffee.
Neo sat down on the sofa with the roster and said to Karen: "I bought you a drink during the day, and you bought me coffee at night."
"Okay, Captain."
"Well, that's it, eight on this page, plus fruit plate and wine. By the way, is there coffee here?"
"some."
"Add a pot of coffee."
"Okay, sir, are you sure you want eight?"
"Sure."
"Okay sir, please wait a moment."
The waiter went out to make arrangements.
"By the way, have you brought Rael?" Neo asked.
Karen shook her head.
"What a coincidence, I didn't bring Rael with me either." Neo smiled slightly, "If we can't settle the bill by then, I'll have to keep you here."
The waiter opened the door, and eight beauties with heavy makeup walked in and bowed to Karen and Neo who were sitting on the sofa.
"Hello gentlemen, it's my pleasure to serve you."
"Yeah." Neo pointed around and said, "If this place is cleaned up within a quarter of an hour, you will be considered as having served."
The eight beauties were stunned.
At this time, the front desk manager walked in and ordered: "Follow the guest's instructions."
The eight beauties began to clean the room.
Karen looked at this scene and found it a little funny, but still reached out and called the front desk manager.
"Guest, what are your orders?"
"Give me paper and pen."
"good."
Karen wrote the phone number of Pavarro Funeral Home on it and threw it to the manager:
"Please call this number and tell him that the young master is here and ask him to come over with the money."
"Yes, sir."
The manager guessed that this was a young man who came here to play, and young men generally don’t like to bring money with them.
After watching these beauties finish cleaning the room, the manager took them and the waiter out. Then, the manager returned to the front desk, picked up the phone, and dialed the number on the note.
It should be a certain manor or a senior butler who answered the call.
"Hello, Pavarro Funeral Services is pleased to serve you."
"……"manager.
…
Karen poured coffee for himself and Neo, added two cubes of sugar to each, then picked up a spoon and started to stir gently.
Neo took a sip of coffee, put down the cup, looked at Karen and asked:
"Do you want to start now?"
"Captain, if you are ready, we can start now."
Neo leaned back slightly on the sofa and put his hands in his pockets.
Karen knew that this was a defensive posture.
"Should I speak first?" Neo asked.
"I can ask."
"Okay, you come and ask."
"Captain, are you encountering some problems now? This problem cannot be solved in a direct way for the time being?"
"I think this shouldn't be considered a problem, and at present, I haven't found any reason to solve it."
"In other words, its existence is acceptable to you?"
"Yeah, I'm trying to get in touch with it and understand it."
"Has it always been like this?"
"No, to be precise, it started after Eliza died."
"Before Miss Eliza left, this problem also existed?"
"Yes."
"What was your attitude toward it at the time? Was it rejection or deliberate neglect?"
"neglect."
Karen nodded and said: "Did Miss Elisa's departure take away the last line of defense in your heart? I mean, for it, this has always been a trouble."
Neo spread his hands and said matter-of-factly: "I feel that after losing a piece of my heart, I should find something to fill it."
"Can it be filled?"
"It's not clear yet, I'm trying to verify and contact."
"Then we can make it a concrete metaphor. What can it be compared to? A big meal that takes a long time to eat? A mysterious and charming woman? A very heavy book?"
"Book."
"What kind of book is, according to what I call, 'heavy'?"
"Wide and thick?"
"It can also refer to content."
"It can't even be said to be like a novel. It's not that charming, and it doesn't make me forget to eat, drink, or sleep to read it, but I can accept taking the initiative to reach out and turn a few pages in my free time."
"So, you're looking at it from the perspective of a bystander?"
"Well, otherwise, how can I still have a great sense of belonging to things that are not mine?"
Karen picked up the coffee and took a sip. After putting it down, he leaned back slightly on the sofa and looked at the captain sitting opposite him, his eyes looking thoughtful.
Through previous exchanges, Karen had a feeling that her original understanding of the captain seemed to have deviated from the starting point, and the result of this initial deviation was that the further it spread, the more outrageous the error became.
"What's wrong?" Neo asked, "Is the problem serious?"
Karen frowned and said, "You are not lost."
"Huh? Who said I was lost?"
"You are... playing."
Upon hearing this, Neo's eyes immediately widened and he stared at Karen.
At this moment, Neo's upper body was obviously sitting up straight, and his hands were hanging naturally, like an erect cobra.
Karen maintained his original posture. Only in this way could he lower the opponent's vigilance.
This is not to say that the captain is on guard against himself. In fact, it can be seen that the captain is really actively trying to receive psychological counseling. However, human nature is common in many places. Karen knows that it was the words he just said that directly hit the target.
