[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun
Chapter 52 Rolling the Dice
"Dr. Cooper, I think we can sit down and have a good talk..." The tall man in black said with an awkward smile.
"No, we don't have a seat for you." Sheldon said sternly, "Put down the dice before talking, otherwise I won't answer anything."
"I think it's better for them to put their guns down..." Leonard gritted his teeth, but no one answered him.All eyes were on Sheldon, and they kept wandering on the man in black.
The leading tall man pursed his lips and looked at Shelton with an uncertain expression.His hand slowly reached into the pocket of his suit. Looking at this scene, Penny's hand grabbed Leonard's arm fiercely, making the latter look grim and almost let out a silent scream.
But the tall man quickly took out three brass dice from his pocket, and they rolled from his fingertips to the coffee table in front of Sheldon with a clink.The tall man straightened his body, tugged at his tie, and said softly again: "Then, please allow me to explain why I'm here again."
"No, you just threw 13, I judge you failed the check." Shelton crossed his arms and raised his head and said, "So you have to report your name first."
"..." The tall man choked slightly.The hands of a man in black behind him began to fumble for the holster on his waist, but he stopped them and cleared his throat: "I'm Kim Gablehouse, a Ph.D. in biological sciences from Delaware State University. We're here to-"
"Stop." Sheldon said loudly, and he leaned back again, "After you report your name, you have to roll the dice first to create a character card before proceeding to the next step."
"What's your relationship with Dr. Gablehouse from Caltech's Department of Physics?" Howard, who was curled up in a corner of the sofa, couldn't hold back.
"They look a bit alike, I think they might be immediate family members—" Leonard spoke loudly, and then sat back in his seat under Gablehouse's deadpan gaze, "...You guys go ahead."
"You can choose a profession, barbarian, bard, druid, priest..." Shelton was still talking about the dnd rules, although his fingers were trembling slightly nervously.Petunia looked at all this with an expression that she couldn't bear to look straight at, and quietly put her hand into her pocket.
boom!
Gablehouse fired a shot into the ceiling.Some dust fell, and in the silence after a loud noise, he said softly: "Gentlemen, I have never been patient with farce. I am here to discuss cooperation with you."
"Really? Then I'm—sorry——I refuse to work with people who don't play by the rules!" Shelton replied mercilessly in the most sarcasm he could come up with, then turned to look at Leonard , "Leonard, I think we should move on to another place to continue our DND night."
Hearing this, everyone knew that the non-existent negotiating table had been overturned, including those men in black wearing sunglasses.
"Gentlemen, I know that our behavior offends you a bit, but I just hope that you can cooperate with me." Gablehouse's face became gloomy, "This is for our cooperation."
"..." Penny's hand sank deeply into Leonard's arm for the second time.Everyone stared at him in silence.
"Whether you agree or not, you have lost the right to negotiate with me. If you want to survive, you'd better give us what we want." Gablehouse announced, raising his chin with confidence in the victory.
"I'm a NASA engineer, and right now Hubble and two satellites are pointed at this block. And one of us has a heartbeat connected to the Caltech alarm system, so if you kill people here, you'll be dead in 10 minutes. He will be arrested and imprisoned!" Howard said quickly and without pause, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead, but his eyes were fixed on Gable House, "And there are invisible cameras in the room, which are updated in real time to the cloud server. So if you become murderers, your names will be known across the state tomorrow, sir."
"..." Gablehouse turned his gaze to him, he took a deep breath, and said softly, "Do you really think I care about this?"
"Of course you care," Leonard pointed out. "You're breathing twice as fast. My mother has a PhD in psychology—uh. Sorry."
"You can play a round of DND. If your dice are lucky enough, maybe they will agree to cooperate with you." Petunia couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and pointed to the coffee table.
"Or maybe we have another solution," Gablehouse said with a smile.
……
"I'm just saying Sheldon doesn't work," Leonard said, staring blankly at the roof above.
"On the bright side, we won't die before they achieve their goal." Raj grinned, and then the smile disappeared, "But will we die after they achieve their goal?!"
"No, no, no." Among the group, only Sheldon won the honor of being tied up. His slender body struggled on the car seat like a big praying mantis thrown into an insect bottle, "I can't die , my brain is the most precious treasure of mankind!"
"Then you can tell us the bottom key of the White Tower, Dr. Cooper." Sitting next to him, Gablehouse, who was punched several times by the restless Sheldon, said with restraint, clutching his ribs.
"You didn't throw the dice!" Sheldon insisted on the principle, and then Petunia covered his mouth.The vehicle turned a corner and drove into the darkness without light.

"Hmm..." Audrey moved.Her bare collarbone caught Clark's arm, which made her sleepily open her eyes.
"It's still early, Xiao Li..." Clark said vaguely, and he hugged Audrey a little tighter, "Should have slept well last night?"
Not knowing what to think of, Audrey's cheeks flushed, and the foot under the quilt lightly kicked Clark's calf.Clark chuckled twice and kissed her ear.
"I heard your cell phone ringing." Audrey grunted, feeling drowsy and feeling a little sore in her muscles.She simply buried her head into Clark's warm chest, touching his skin.They fell into a comfortable sleepiness for a few more minutes, and then, Audrey suddenly raised her head: "Wait... Today is Friday, right? Don't you have to go to work, Clark?"
"..." Clark stretched out a hand and pressed her head back into his embrace, "I extended my day off."
"That Perry editor-in-chief would agree." Audrey, who has free working hours, said sympathetically, "I hope your bonus for this month has not been deducted..."
"If you ask for leave again, your basic salary may not be guaranteed." Clark felt sorry for him, "Little Krypton may have to sleep in his lonely kennel next month..."
Audrey couldn't help but trembled with laughter, which made Clark sober.Clark blinked, then said, "Lily, your phone will ring in two seconds—beep!"
Audrey's cell phone rang.Laughing, she bent over to pick up the phone that had dropped at the foot of the bed last night—thanks to the solidity of the Fortress of Solitude—and turned it over to see the caller ID.
"Iron Man?" Audrey said confusedly, "What does he want from me—"
Before she could press the connect button, the phone was connected by itself, and the face of Tony Stark with a morose mustache was displayed on the screen: "Good morning, ma'am, let's skip the greetings- oh !Looks like you guys had a pretty hot night... I didn't mean to see it."
"...Forget it, that's not important." No time to worry about Stark's style, Audrey pulled the camera up above her neck, looked at the screen and said, "What happened, Tony?"
"Tell Cyborg to stop deleting those negative news on the Internet, it will only backfire." Tony rolled his eyes gracefully and said, "I don't know why he would do such an idiot with his ability. I contact Passed Batman, but he just hung up."
"Sorry, wait, I don't quite understand what you mean." Audrey interrupted him, "What negative news?"
"Oh, I'm sorry to be the first to tell you about this," Tony said, "although I think your idea of replacing your body with technology is pretty advanced, way ahead of that old bat - digression The video of your conscious body fighting in and out of Blackgate Prison is now circulating for some reason, and Cyborg is still trying to delete all relevant information, which is counterproductive."
"..." Audrey's expression froze, she turned her head to look at Clark who was sitting up, and said softly, "Clark, is Batman looking for you for this matter?"
Without saying a word, Clark hugged her in his arms.Audrey's cell phone was turned upside down on the pillow, and Tony's voice came out of the loudspeaker persistently: "The more you delete it, the more people will demonize it. I've already intercepted Cyborg's program...no Sorry, I don’t intend to disturb your deep love, but I want to say that if Zhenglian can’t get the sponsorship of the United Nations, you can join the Avengers, we are completely legal to kill criminals in action! There is also a problem with handling public opinion A proficient process. Well, it seems that you don't have time to think about it, but I'm telling the truth. Bye!"
"I didn't kill people." Audrey whispered, "...I won't."
Clark caressed her smooth back, and those raised spines ran across his palm one by one.Clark said softly, "I know, Audrey. I believe in you too."
"How are people discussing this?" Audrey said softly.Clark closed his eyes and listened for a moment in silence.Then, he opened his eyes and shook his head towards Audrey.
"Xiao Li, I can't repeat that to you." His eyes were filled with genuine sadness, "I can't."
Audrey gave him a bright smile.She lowered her head, flicked her mobile phone, and stared at the newspaper headline displayed on it:
"Girls of Qi—An Incarnation of Justice, or a Lie of Paranoia?" "
The Tyrant and the Voyeur of Dawn
"The newly built landmark building is actually the lair of Qi women. What is the real purpose of the White Tower?" "
"The Truth About Infectious Diseases in Dawn City, the Chess Game of People Who Disregard Their Lives"
"Why did the Justice League choose Qi Girl?" "
"Nineteen Prisoners Killed by Superheroes"
Audrey's eyes widened slightly, and she raised her head to look at Clark: "It's amazing..."
"Xiao Li, it's not your fault." Clark pressed her phone and said sadly.Audrey smiled brightly at him upon hearing this, and kissed the corner of his mouth.
"I know, Clark. I just wanted to say, she's amazing..." Audrey said softly, "I wonder how long she has been preparing for this day?"
Clark looked at her.Audrey was not at all depressed, her blond hair spread out on her erect body, and her shining eyes showed a breathtaking color at this moment: "Go ahead. I want to There's more to come."
