Bastard NPC Chapter 7

Chapter 7

I wasn’t okay. At this point, it might be better to just pick up the phone and say, “Oh, sir, I have a bad case of paranoia, and I didn’t recognize you properly. I was rude.” And bow down right away. 3c0ecb73a4cc9f82

After all, if 50d7a08b77 I keep resisting 1e846e85ab and upset someone 98c07a3cf5 as intimidating as d3d6c16f34 him, my life 4c5f9d2529 could be logged 351740c328 out just like 71cee397eb the other NPCs.2a0302dca6b61087

It would be a relief if I could go back to reality, but I couldn’t completely rule out the possibility of logging into the afterlife. It would be 896251ce3b better to beg f3ad391e6f and pray to cbaf904fe1 the person in dd98cfb863 power who holds 680ada6654 my lifeline than 9401e21f60 to meet the e879f75cc0 King of Hell 433c702b69 and regret it.bdfeb11353d837fe

When I got 26675ded71 up from my b2e1826314 seat after greeting cf2ba846e4 him gloomily, Colin 64a645b8a3 also got up ec416988b9 and opened the 16489f8bd3 door for me. 6d1d4183ca6ebca4

Colin laughed lightly, 6d6fa50540 as if dismissing 539684172b my worries. I had been walking 0d49afd99e with my shoulders slumped 67ee9102cd and dragging my feet, 2c0d6895b2 but I stopped in 9c0396b914 my tracks and turned 825d216d00 to look at Colin.9f69c338d1e25f67

Whenever there was 4aaa92ceeb a bounty on 5c159eec41 my head, or d04e7b5867 I was being dc35adba9d pursued by the 805cbbaaf2 authorities, all I aae0dd3cc9 had to do f6d5e17c42 was call Colin. He would 85a9893791 solve it ac91848ba8 immediately. d45128c39c3ee0a6

It was the screen 0e6132fe3d displaying Theo’s personal information. A sudden doubt crossed 0740bfcd9f my mind. While his near-perfect record 3fb722fe73 might be amazing, it 757bef262f was odd. Despite all the crude 0117f6d189 things he said and 226d8c7c74 did, his private life 3f828031a2 was so clean. Something didn’t 69e96e5732 add up.ffe4c20223692379

In short, b839d20966 it was bb78a72ad6 about someone 960da43232 who met 4ba08b1127 Theo at f93cc445c0 a party 6bd320fc58 and fell 05732218a8 in love f3134d2207 with him 8081d59440 at first 16f6aef6a9 sight, and da360ddaac ended up 64aba066c8 putting her 7ca57df0a2 hand on 51f0e78d51 his chest. But in the end, 0cbd7babac he put a bullet 693c679b1f in her hand. If it was a bcc82de0f9 guy who appeared by f4d8e985f1 detonating a grenade instead 5fd91cb4a9 of pressing the doorbell, a89032f07e then it could easily ba9942b6f3 be true, but it eb147b7d02 was a ridiculous rumor. 232029958b8de74c

For a moment, Burke, who had been out of sight, suddenly interjected while nibbling on a strawberry donut.
