Chapter 138 Can't You Just Look at the Scenery?
Kate Gracie was sitting on the edge of the roof, and his well-made windbreaker was casually thrown on the floor of the roof. Now he was only wearing a very thin suit, and was caught in the night wind on the roof. Shivering with cold.
He looked at the brightly lit world below, at the terrified and worried faces, at the busy policemen and firefighters, and then he looked up again, at the stadium not far away, with those training The field has been submerged in the night, making it hard to see clearly.
Suicide was an action he had planned for a long time.
The idea came to him after he had rolled out of Wall Street in disgrace.
He failed, lost a lot of money, and his reputation was so bad that no financial institution wanted to hire him as a manager who had lost a lot of money.
He used to live in a mansion, drive a sports car, have a sexy and beautiful girlfriend with blond hair and blue eyes, live in the most prosperous area of New York, go to various high-end restaurants and shopping malls, and never look at the bill when shopping.
Such days are the reason why he wants to study finance.
But these are past tense.
When he failed, the house was repossessed by the bank because he could not pay the loan, and he sold the sports car to pay off the debt. The beautiful and sexy girlfriend ran away without hesitation when she saw that she was destitute.
He has nothing left.
Can't even find a job.
So he thought about death.
But he didn't want to die casually.
The world was so beautiful that he felt he had to live life to the fullest before he died.
And most importantly, he will die in his hometown. Spain, Madrid, Getafe.
So he sold all the things he could sell in the United States and exchanged them for money. Then returned to his home country.
Rented a house in the best apartment in Madrid, paid a month's rent, and started having fun every day.
As if to finish all the fun that should be enjoyed in this life.
But every day he still went out in smart clothes, making the people in the building think that he was working in a well-known investment bank in Spain.
But who knew that besides the building, he would go back to various bars to linger?
Now all his money is gone.
The rent is due tomorrow, and he can't pay a penny of the rent.
At that time, I will be kicked out of the luxury apartment with a prize, and even the last aura left on my body will disappear.
But he didn't care anymore, he felt that it was time to say goodbye to this world.
He thought he was crazy for a month. There should be nothing to miss about this flamboyant world.
Unexpectedly, when he walked to the edge of the rooftop and was about to jump off, he glanced down.
Then he suddenly regretted it.
He doesn't want to die anymore!
But if he doesn't die today, he will die tomorrow.
Because he is homeless. How can I live without anything?
Kate Gracie squinted and looked north. Over there is bustling Madrid. But now nothing can be seen, everything is covered in the night like a thick fog.
He felt someone approaching him, and he thought it was the firemen again. So he waved and shouted, "Don't come here! Let me have a quiet time before I die!"
Seeing his action, there was another scream from below.

Chang Sheng stopped when he heard what the other party said, and then said to the Garcia policeman beside him: "Give me the things. Thank you."
Police Garcia realized what he was going to do, and he exclaimed: "You can't do so much. Chang! The boss asked me to take care of your safety..."
"I'm safe, Mr. Police."
"But the place you're going to is very unsafe..."
"I think it's more dangerous to wipe the glass outside the building than this. Don't worry. I know how to measure it. Okay, give me the things. Aren't you tired?"
Policeman Garcia hesitated.
Chang Sheng added: "Now I'm an expert negotiator, have you ever seen an expert negotiator shouting from afar?"
Police Garcia finally gave up, and he handed over a case of beer to Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng hugged his hands and walked towards the figure sitting on the edge with heavy steps.
"Didn't I fucking say not to come over?!"
Kate Gracie turned around angrily and yelled at her.
But after shouting, he froze.
He saw a man holding a box with both hands, standing about ten meters away from him.
"This rooftop is not your home. I came up to see the scenery." The visitor said.
After speaking, he swaggered to a distance of two or three meters from Kate Gracie with the box in his arms.
Then he put the box down, and Kate Gracie saw that it was a piece of beer.
The other party just opened the box recklessly, took out a can of beer, and then walked to the edge of the roof...
Kate Gracie's pupils shrank.
And when the people downstairs saw another person appearing on the edge, they couldn't help but exclaimed.
※※※
Chang Sheng didn't go directly to the top floor, but went back home first. The policeman who followed him felt strange, but didn't ask any more questions.
Chang Sheng dragged a piece of beer out of his home and asked policeman Garcia to help him carry it, and then they went up to the rooftop together.
Now he's just standing on the edge of the roof with a can of beer in his hand.
Both feet are swinging slightly.
Because just now he accidentally saw the bottom, the distance between the dense crowd of human heads and the seventh floor made him feel dizzy due to weightlessness.
Fortunately, he quickly closed his eyes, otherwise he would really fall headlong, and it's not certain...
At that time, my own rebirth time travel will be over, and this book can also be renamed "Failed Time Travel Rebirth Journey".
Damn, I have a slight fear of heights...
Chang Sheng complained in his heart. But again, he volunteered to be a negotiator.
He can certainly be a lobbyist in a safe place.
But in Chang Sheng's plan, he had to be in danger.
Changsheng is better than eyes. He raised his head slightly, then took deep breaths, squatted down slowly, and then lowered one leg. reach out.
There was another exclamation from downstairs.
Then he moved his hip slowly, adjusted his posture, and lowered his second leg.
The exclamation grew louder.
Finally sitting firmly, Chang Sheng tried not to look down, but only looked into the distance, his eyes were deep, in fact, it was to cover up his weakness of fear of heights...
In order not to look down, he even lifted the can. Lifting it to eye level, he opened the wine jar.
Then I drank half the can in one go.
Alcohol blended into his blood, finally reducing his fear a little.
Just when he was thinking about how to speak, the person next to him said: "This is the first time I have seen a person with fear of heights choose to go to this kind of place to see the scenery."
Chang Sheng's already stiff body froze again. Then he slowly turned his head to look at the other party, and smiled with his mouth open: "Of course, this is very dangerous for me, but the more dangerous the place, the better the scenery. Isn't it?"
There was a nervous vibrato in his voice.
"It's interesting to be a negotiator like you." Kate Gracie stared at Chang Sheng and said.
"I'm not a negotiator. I'm just looking at the scenery." Chang Sheng denied it.
"So what did you see?" Kate Gracie asked.
Chang Sheng looked far into the distance: "I saw a colorful world. There is a lot of traffic, and there are feasting and colorful worlds. Some people are drinking to soothe their sorrows because of a broken relationship, and some are hugging and kissing with their significant other. I also saw a happy family. Sitting around and having dinner together, the husband is blaming his wife for not cooking well. The son is secretly slicing something he doesn’t like onto his sister’s plate, and the sister is complaining to his mother. The mother is complaining to her about her cooking. Delicious husband complains: 'You can do it yourself!'..."
"This is not a happy and warm story." Kate Gracie said with a frown.
"No, this is a happy and warm scene." Chang Sheng shook his head and said firmly. "This is the most ordinary life. But real, full of popularity, everyone lives this kind of life, day after day. This kind of life is considered dull and lacking in excitement by many critics. But I think this It is the best life. It lasts because it is ordinary, it lasts forever because it lasts, and it is great because it lasts forever.”
Kate Gracie seemed to be touched by Chang Sheng's words. He said: "But an ordinary life is boring after a long time. Otherwise, why do so many people say they want to live an extraordinary life?"
"Of course, you can pursue the extraordinary, but the ordinary is the basis for your pursuit of the extraordinary. Without this ordinary life, you can't pursue it at all."
"Well..." Kate Gracie pointed to the night in the north and said: "There, I saw a down-and-out loser who lost everything and was ridiculed and squeezed out... Is this kind of life possible? Is it great?"
Chang Sheng glanced at the other party, then nodded: "Of course. As long as he works hard to live, that is great."
He remembered his previous life.
"It's okay for a loser to lose everything and be ridiculed. As long as he doesn't admit defeat, there is always a chance to come back. There are all kinds of people in this colorful world, and not everyone can be a winner. But everyone They are all working hard to live in their own way. This is what makes this world so attractive and makes people love it.”
With that said, Chang Sheng drank all his wine.
Then he reached into the back box and took out two cans of beer, one for himself and one for Kate Gracie.
"Looking at the scenery without drinking is too boring."
Kate Gracie hesitated for a moment, but took it anyway.
Then Chang Sheng raised the can to his eyes, and snapped the ring with his fingers.
Kate Gracie lowered her head and opened the can.
Two "bangs" sounded one after the other, and were blown into the air by the night wind.
"What if it's the end of the road?" Kate Gracie took a sip of the wine, and then continued, "As it is now, there is no way. No matter what, you are dead, it's just the difference between dying sooner and later."
Chang Sheng shook his head: "I never believe in the idea of a dead end. For me, as long as I am alive, it is not a dead end. As long as I live, I have a chance. If I die, I really have no chance. I am a football coach. Would you like to hear my 'Last End' story?"
"Please speak." Kate Gracie raised the beer can in her hand.

The leading policeman was below, looking up at this scene, he couldn't help opening his mouth.
"He really did it! I knew it...hahaha!"
The policeman next to him came up and said, "Boss, the negotiator says he's arriving soon... Let's hold the jumper for another five minutes..."
The old policeman glared at him: "Let him die! I don't need any bullshit negotiators here anymore! Tell him, I already have a guy who is more professional and powerful than him!"
※※※
"You hit him?" Kate Gracie looked at Chang Sheng in surprise.
"Yes, I hit him, twice!" Chang Sheng stretched out two fingers showing off.
When the wine was full, Chang Sheng's body language became much richer, and he gradually abandoned the initial fear of being helpless in the sky.
"Why did you hit him? He's the director! He can decide your life and death, you know?"
"Nonsense, of course I know, but he is a bitch and should be beaten! So I don't regret it at all!"
"But you offended Real Madrid because of this...Even if I don't watch football very much, I know the name of this team. In Spain, you have offended the most powerful force!"
"Afraid of a bird feather!" Chang Sheng laughed. "Aren't I still here to stay well? What are you thinking about so much? When you want to beat someone, just beat him!"
"You're really crazy..." Kate Gracie shook her head helplessly.
"Thank you for the compliment!" Chang Sheng puffed out his chest.
※※※
Aunt Maria and the concierge Lemon also looked up at the scene on the top of the building blankly, unable to say a word...
There are many others like them.
So that the scene was quite quiet.
The firefighters squatted not far away, also staring blankly at everything in front of them.
Everyone couldn't understand why the suicidal person who was still emotional just now and didn't allow anyone to approach him suddenly sat down with Chang Sheng and had a very heated conversation...
