Chapter 25 Inner World

It was only morning, but the bad weather seemed like evening. The sky was covered with haze and the surrounding scenery was gloomy. Several thunders blew up in the distance, which made the entire Star City pale in an instant, but faded away immediately.

There were no pedestrians on the road, and there was a heavy rain soon. They all found a place to shelter from the rain. In an instant, the street was empty. Rhodes and Lan Ling were pressing the road while looking for Jack.

"Jack! Where are you?"

Lan Ling put his hands in a loud voice beside his mouth very childishly, thinking that this would increase his voice.

Through a short time with Jack, Lan Ling found that Jack is usually a quiet child. Only when Rhode enters an excited state can he do something crazy and extraordinary.

"It cannot hear it, and it cannot make a sound to answer you."

Rhode pinched his chin and began to doubt Lan Ling's IQ. He not only doubted whether Lan Ling could memorize the table of multiplications of nine or nine, but addition and subtraction within ten might be a problem.

"What is five plus four equal?" Rhodes was very interested.

"Ha? Do you think I'm a fool? Of course it's equal to nine." Lan Lingxu narrowed his eyes, with a little contempt in his eyes.

"Eleven times eleven equals how much." Rhodes's expression became cold.

"Uh... this, I need a calculator, wait! Aren't we looking for Jack? Why are you asking for this?" Lan Ling found that Rhode was playing tricks on himself and hurriedly changed the topic.

"Nothing, you're a smart girl." Rhode touched the blue hair like a loving father, and then said, "I can sense Jack's position, you don't have to yell."

"Hey? I want to help, okay?"

Lan Ling has formed a very subtle and even perverted relationship with Jack. Although Jack was terrible at first, he had a broken hand and bleeding from his wrists, which was very scary. After getting along for a long time, Lan Ling found that as long as Rhodes was not crazy, Jack was not aggressive and could do some jobs such as serving tea, handing water, pinching shoulders and backs, and was considered a cheap slave. However, compared to slaves, Lan Ling felt that he and Jack were more like friends, and were much more friendly than Rhodes, a lunatic.

Luo Lan and the others sensed Jack's location and came to a square covered with white bricks. On the chair beside the fountain in the center of the square, they saw a very interesting scene.

Rhodes: "…"

Lan Ling: "…"

Jack lay on the ground and confronted a man who was about twenty years old.

The man had a shoulder-length gray hair, wearing frameless glasses, and his gentle facial features and thin figure were quite scholarly. It seemed that it was drizzling in the sky. He drizzled his gray wool coat with dripping dripping water, looking a little hazy.

The gray-haired man confronted Jack, and he moved to the left by himself, and Jack also moved in his direction, as if to block his way.

It's like a dull person meeting a fierce-looking dog, neither retreating nor advancing, and the scene is in a stalemate.

A trace of sweat oozed out of Owen's forehead. He pushed his eyes and wanted to use his trick. He remembered that he used this trick to scare away many ungrateful dogs when he was a child, which should have a certain effect on this hand.

"Let's decide the outcome."

Irving slowly squatted down and looked like he wanted to pick up stones to smash Jack. This is Irving's killer move! This is to intimidate Jack and let it escape without fighting!

Unexpectedly, Jack was not afraid at all, twisted and crawled towards Irving with five fingers.

"Stop making trouble for Jack, come back soon! I scare others."

Lan Ling shouted at Jack with her waist. Although Jack couldn't hear it, he still felt Lan Ling's breath. He noticed her cry and ran back immediately, rubbed against Lan Ling's body from her sneakers, and wandered around her.

"Ah... Jack, you're covered in dust. You're almost gone, you're dirty! Haha... Stop making trouble, it's so itchy."

Jack crawled under Lan Ling's armpits and kept tickling, making Lan Ling laugh.

"What a bad boy. I'm going to clean up you today!"

Lan Ling frowned and grabbed Jack directly, scratching Jack's palm with his hands. Jack was also itchy, and his five fingers began to twitch and bend.

Irving's chin was about to fall to the ground, and his mind was already filled with thunder. This beautiful girl looked very gentle and kind, why was she so perverted? She even gave her a name to keep her like a pet?

Rhode was trapped in thought, Jack would not run out for no reason, and something must have attracted it from this gray-haired man.

Rhode swept around and saw a parasol next to the man, a few chairs, an easel and a bunch of paint underneath. Is he the kind of person who makes money by sketching people on the street?

Rhode became interested in this person. This person is not as simple as a street artist. Ordinary people were scared to death when they saw Jack. This person was still calm and obviously also a contestant on the Infinite Road.

"You can draw?"

Rhode found a chair and sat down, crossed his legs, folded his hands and placed them on his knees.

Irving turned his head and saw Rhode, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Compared to the perverted beautiful girl, Rhode was obviously better to get along with. Irving said calmly: "Yes, I'm painting a portrait for people. Do you want to give it a try?"

Rhode shook his head. He hated taking photos and even more hated others painting portraits for him.

"Sorry, Jack has caused you trouble. You said you can draw. It sounds interesting. Can you draw one for me?"

Lan Ling said kindly to Owen while teasing Jack.

Irving was facing a great enemy. In his opinion, Lan Ling was obviously much scarier than Rhodes. He was a cruel character who was good at disguising. He looked naive, but in fact he was a female devil who ate people and didn't spit out bones.

"Of course, do you want to draw portraits or inner world."

Irving pushed his glasses and his expression became serious. After all, he still has professional ethics.

"Inner World?"

Lan Ling was stunned.

"Yes, but everyone hates being peeped at by others. I have an obligation to remind you that even so, do you still want to give it a try?"

Irving wiped the sweat from his hands with a towel, but just now he was so scared by the hand named Jack.

A trace of contempt flashed in Rhode's eyes and he spat on the ground. He thought he had met a charlatan, but he wanted to see how he pretended to be a god.

"Lan Ling, just give it a try, I'll pay for you."

Rhodes said coldly.

Owen smiled and shook his head, saying, "If you draw the inner world, I will not charge money. Sharing the inner world with others is a great wealth in itself. With money, it will be a bit vulgar."

Rhode felt that it was a bit interesting, and he pretended to behave well. He himself did not believe in the hypnotist and talisman style, and he maintained a dialectical materialist attitude towards everything.

"Okay, if the things you draw don't satisfy me, I'll... kill you."

boom!

A thunder thunder struck from the sky, heavy rain poured down, and countless bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, and the atmosphere under the parasol was depressing.
