C53 (1/2)
”Did I succeed?” Dick wiped his sweat vigorously and stood up.
”You … ”It seems like it disappeared for nearly half a second...” Sayaka had not even finished speaking when the fatty jumped up and shouted loudly:
”Yeah!” He succeeded! I already said that I have super powers! ”
Dick's face was full of excitement as he turned to Darwin who was seated below the stage and fiddling with the camera: ”Did you record it? Are you recording it? ”
”The camera's storage card seems to be full …” Darwin frowned: ”It was not recorded just now.”
”Damn!” ”No way …” Fatty's face was immediately filled with frustration as he laid on the ground like a dead pig.
”Don't tell me it's such a coincidence?” I was a little unsatisfied for Dick and hurried over, only to see Darwin seemingly quickly performing some kind of operation on the camera.
He was erasing the last video!
Why!?
Isn't this proof that Dick has superpowers? If this video was posted to Facebook, would it worry about no one joining the society?
”You …” Just as I was about to stop her, Darwin grabbed my hand and looked at me meaningfully.
He shook his head at me very slightly and said in a low voice:
”Don't talk.”
”What are you doing?” Why did you delete it? ” I asked in Chinese.
Darwin did not answer me, but turned his head to look in the other direction.
The fat guy couldn't understand Chinese and continued to grumble on the stage. Sayaka sneakily glanced at me.
I shrugged at Sayaka, meaning that I didn't understand either.
Darwin kept the camera, walked to the fatty's side and patted his shoulder, and said:
”Bro, even though the VCR didn't record it, they both saw it and we both believe you.”
”Well — Iamjusfine... ”You know, it's just a little bit of a pity …” Dick sighed.
”But this way, we won't be able to gather five people no matter what. This year's special ability society won't be able to open up again …”
It occurred to me that the minimum number of people in the new society was five.
I, Sayaka, Dick and Darwin, only have four people.
Fatty silently took off the monk's hat on his head and took out ten yuan from his pocket.
”I'll return it to you …”
For a moment, I didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a long time, I patted Dick on the shoulder.
”Don't try any more tricks next time. Practice your invisibility. We'll join again next year.”
Dick forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
”Well (please) ask...” ”Can I) add...”
In the spacious auditorium, a timid female voice came from the corner.
It took me five seconds to understand.
Sitting in the corner was a very thin little man, and I have to say she was too inconspicuous.
It was unknown if it was due to her nervousness or some other reason, but when she swayed her body back and forth, she appeared extremely unnatural.
She was wearing a large gray T-shirt, with a leather belt in her blue shorts, and she was almost perfectly blended into the gray-blue bench in the auditorium. If she didn't say something, I probably wouldn't be able to find her after looking around.
Red, white skin, a face full of freckles, and green eyes that constantly flickered as they looked at the ground, just like how he had used up all of his courage just now.
The most striking thing was that she had a short hair like a boy's. If it wasn't for her voice, I would have thought she was a boy.
OOH ~ God bless my ancestor, Amitabha!
The fat guy bounced off the stage like he was on stimulants, and before I could react, he grabbed the ten bucks I was holding and ran over to the T-shirt. He took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.
”The society's fee is: 280. Sign your name here and you'll be one of us. My name is Dick Pound!”
”...” ”I, I, I'm not free (money)...” The T-shirt didn't even dare to look at the fat guy. It just kept staring at the floor.
”Hi, I am the president of the association, you can call me Darwin.”
Darwin obviously did not think that someone would join his society. He stepped in front of Fatty and said rudely: ”In fact, our society only accepts people above level 10. What grade are you in?”
I can see that Darwin's various performances showed that he actually did not want to form an association.
If he didn't want to do it, why did he want to be the chairman of the society? Sayaka and I looked at each other in confusion.
The T-shirt in front of me, standing up is not as tall as me, you know I used to be considered short in China. From the looks of it, she was at most thirteen or fourteen years old.
Maybe because he felt Darwin's malicious intent, the stutter on the T-shirt became even worse:
”...” ”Ten, ten, eleven years …” The T-shirt pointed at me again. ”Same class...”
Swish! How come I didn't know there was such a person in my class?
Did she also know invisibility?
Darwin turned his face to look at me as if asking for confirmation.
”Well, it seems like maybe maybe... I've seen it before, ”I said, scratching my head as I saw the confusion on the T-shirt.
”Don't mind it, student. Actually, I have had facial blindness since I was young. The doctor said that there's still a chance for me to be cured if I take more medicine …”
”Student, we should not have too much money. What I mean is, if we should spend less, we should also use more effort — —” The fatty spread his hands as he opened up Darwin, who was blocking his path.
