Chapter 184 Tarot Cards

At the entrance of the villa, as a carriage approaching from afar stopped, a well-dressed couple with outstanding temperament got out of the carriage.

The servant behind them first removed a wheelchair from the carriage, and then helped a little boy about ten years old into the wheelchair and sat down.

Mr. Scudder, who was welcoming the guests at the gate of the villa, suddenly froze when he saw the visitor, but he quickly adjusted, squeezed out a smile, and greeted him:

"Mr. Auceptin, Mrs. Auceptin, and Little Will, welcome to your visit."

Mr. Auceptin, who was wearing a handmade formal suit and a top hat, looked at Scudder in surprise, then laughed, and said in a reproachful tone: "I didn't expect you to come here to be a housekeeper... as a Old friend, why didn’t you tell me? If I hadn’t received an invitation from Congressman Macht, I wouldn’t have known.”

What old friend? Back then when I went looking for you in despair, I never saw you so enthusiastic...

Mr. Scudder slandered, but he didn't show it. After checking the invitation sent by Mr. Auceptin, he dutifully welcomed the family of three into the villa.

At this time, many guests had already come to the villa. Mr. Auceptin seemed to have seen an acquaintance, and immediately stepped forward to chat. And Mrs. Auceptin also stepped into the living room provided for the entertainment of the ladies.

As for Will in the wheelchair, he seemed to have been completely forgotten by them.

Mr. Scudder knew that the couple didn't like the child very much, but he didn't expect them to ignore him so much, so he frowned and walked forward, asking, "Where do you want to go? Do you want me to push?" Are you going to the restaurant?"

"Just put me in a quiet room." Will seemed to be accustomed to being forgotten, and while playing with the Tarot cards in his hand, he gave Mr. Scudder a smile.

This smile made Mr. Scudder in a trance for a while, and he only felt that he was very similar to his dead son.

When he came back to his senses, he looked at Will more kindly, so he pushed the wheelchair to a small room on the left side of the first floor of the villa, and placed the child with handicapped legs on the sofa in the corner .

When lifting him, Mr. Scudder noticed that the child's left calf seemed to be thicker than the right, which was why he had difficulty moving.

Sure enough, it’s still a strange disease... We shouldn’t have opened that door and looked at that mural... Otherwise, we wouldn’t have let our children suffer like this.

Mr. Scudder sighed, looked at the child who was skillfully playing with Tarot cards, and said:

"Will, this room is actually my lounge. You can play here by yourself for a while, and call the servant to call me if you have anything to do...Well, I will pick you up in person after the dinner starts."

The child named Will put down the cards in his hand, nodded obediently, raised his head and said with a smile: "Go and do your work, Mr. Scudder, I will take care of myself."

An optimistic and strong child... It's a pity that Mr. Auceptin doesn't seem to like him very much...

Mr. Scudder could not help recalling the scene of meeting the child for the first time:

It was not long after I came to Backlund, I had almost spent all my money, and when I had nowhere to go, I had to visit Mr. Auceptin, the former boss's house, and pray that he would give me a job to make ends meet.

However, although Mr. Auceptin received him, he was perfunctory throughout the whole process... In the end, when he was about to leave, only the child took out a deck of tarot cards and asked himself to draw one with a smile.

At that time, because of frustration and confusion, I didn't pay much attention to it, so I just randomly drew a "justice" card in the correct position.

Then the child said to himself: Sir, you will have someone to help you.

And not long after that, I met Mr. Karen and Miss Judy, and joined the "Mother Earth" church.

Sure enough, he got the help of the nobleman.

Recalling this, Mr. Scudder was very moved. Of course he didn’t feel that his luck was changed just because of this child’s casual remark, but this coincidence also impressed him very deeply.

So he smiled again and asked Will before leaving the room:

"Can I draw another tarot card?"

A child named Will shook his head and said seriously, "Don't be greedy, or you will have bad luck."

Mr. Scudder was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he was dumb. He didn't care, he just thought that the child was playing and had his own principles, so he shook his head, and the two of them opened the lounge and got into work.

After Mr. Scudder left, Will picked up the tarot cards again, cut and shuffled the cards, and never tired of it. But soon, his hand suddenly stopped in the process of cutting cards.

Will looked up at the garden outside the window and an apartment in the distance, and then sighed: "It's really unfortunate...that stupid snake must have taken away too much luck from me..."

After finishing speaking, he drew out a "sun" in the right position from the deck of cards in his hand!

...

27 Kingston Street, Jorwood.

In the house next door to the garden villa where the banquet is being held, in a vacant bedroom on the second floor.

There was a sudden wave of fluctuations in the pitch-black void, and an invisible door full of various complex symbols appeared vaguely.

Soon, a palm stretched out from inside the door.

It was an extremely pale palm without a trace of blood, as if it did not belong to a living person at all!

Just looking at it, one can feel unparalleled malice!

But at this moment, the palm that was about to push the invisible door stopped suddenly, and at the same time, there was a barely audible voice of surprise from inside the door: "Has the breath of '1-025' appeared?"

As the sound disappeared, the pale palm retracted into the door again, and then the entire invisible door disappeared completely.

...

28 Kingston Street, in a corner of the smoking room of the villa, Abner took out a withered yellow hair from his pocket, shook it in front of Darkwell, and asked with a half-smile:

"Do you know what this is?"

Darkwill identified it carefully, then his eyelids twitched, he looked around with some guilt, and then asked in a low voice, "The little brown-haired girl is here too? Where is she?"

"Guess?" Abner smiled brightly. For Darkwill, Judy can be called a top deterrent.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Darkwill took a deep breath and asked very bachelorly.

"Take care of your mouth, just don't mess up the banquet." Abner twitched the corner of his mouth politely.

"Just for this, you actually used such a scary thing to scare me?" The fat pharmacist Darkwill asked back in disbelief.

"It seems that you have no self-knowledge!" Abner said with a glance at him.
