[Football] Bad Boy Batty

"Why are we here? Oh, that's a good question. I also want to know why I am here. I should be home and lying in my comfortable bed by now." Mbappe muttered to himself as he got up. He clapped his hands and crossed his arms, looking at Batistuta with resentment, "Why are you here too?"

"I'm here to eat." Batty rolled his eyes. "This is a haunted house. What do you think I can do here?"

"I think Killian meant that he didn't expect you to come to the haunted house." Lucas dusted himself off and stood up, then smiled his signature silly smile again, "Hey Buddy, wanna join us?"

Before Batistuta could answer, Neymar nudged him with his elbow.

"It looks like they were our previous guests who wanted to team up with us." He leaned over and whispered in his ear, "They were eliminated five days ago but they stayed until now and appeared in the same amusement park with us. This is not right."

"so?"

"So why don't we go out first."

"You're scared." Batty raised his eyebrows and said in an affirmative tone.

"These are two different things." Neymar pinched the back of his hand, "I am considering the overall situation."

Seeing the two people in front of him trapped in an empty space, Lucas blinked.

"What did he just say?" he asked Batty.

"Nothing, hey Lucas, let me ask you - when I came in just now, the staff told me that there are four people who will team up with us." Batistuta covered Neymar's mouth as he was about to leave. "Now I only see you and Mbappe, who are the other two?"

Before Lucas could answer, they heard the sound of a bed being pushed behind them, and someone came back from the second room.

"Have you decided? You've already wasted too much time."

Batty turned around subconsciously and looked——

Oh.

The ones who came over were Pavard and Augustus.

He should have thought of it earlier. Batty rolled his eyes again. Who else could it be but them?

……

"Don't look at me like that. I didn't mean it this time. Who would have known that it was you who was standing behind?" Augustus said as he led them to the back room.

Mbappe curled his lips, as if no one else could see what he was thinking. The whole team knew why he paid to keep everyone here until now.

In the middle of the room stood a bloodstained coffin with an NPC standing next to it. Lucas was obviously reluctant to go in, so he followed behind and tried to squeeze in with Batistuta. Neymar was not happy about this and would occasionally wrestle him with his shoulder.

Coincidentally, the NPC was wearing a clown costume and holding a chainsaw.

Um, clown.

Batistuta stiffened for a moment, then quietly squeezed between Neymar and Lucas to the back, and then stood against the wall at the farthest distance from the NPC.

Seeing everyone gathered, the NPC pulled the chainsaw very professionally, and a strange and terrifying laugh came out amid the buzzing sound.

NPC: "Someone must sacrifice himself for others in order to pass the level oh oh oh ~"

"Are you going to lie down here?" Neymar grabbed Batistuta's wrist. He had completely failed to conceal his fear. "I told you to get out first, but you didn't listen! Now you have to get into the coffin!"

Not only Neymar, the French people over there were obviously unhappy too. Just now, Lucas and Mbappe were scared and ran away because they had to choose one to go into the coffin.

After looking at the clown and then at the coffin, Batty thought, no matter what was in the coffin, it couldn't be scarier than a clown holding a chainsaw.

He clenched his back teeth hard.

"I come."

……

Of course, it’s not just about lying down in the coffin, the lid also has to be closed.

Looking at the painted wooden coffin lid in front of him and listening to the screams of several other people outside, Batty felt an inexplicable sense of calm.

Before lying down, the NPC whispered to him: In fact, the one who chooses the coffin is the luckiest.

To be honest, it was quite comfortable to lie in the coffin. There were pillows and cushions. It was perfect except that some mist would be sprayed from time to time to scare him. Batty was almost falling asleep.

That’s really nice, he thought. Maybe he could consider getting one for his home when he gets back.

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on Batti's coffin lid.

"Who is it? Can't even death give people peace?" he joked.

"It's me, Neymar." Neymar's nervous voice came from outside. He swallowed, "Nothing, just, uh, worried that you'd be lonely."

Batty sneered softly.

"It's pretty good here," he said. "Don't worry, you won't be lonely."

"Don't be like this, Batistuta, let me in, I just want to stay with you." The sound of the chainsaw suddenly became louder, Neymar was anxious, and he knocked on the coffin lid repeatedly, "Please! Let me in! He's coming! Please, please let me in!"

Barty pursed his lips to try not to laugh.

"Okay, come in."

At that moment, the lid of the coffin was opened and Neymar jumped directly in. He leaned on Batistuta, thanked God and kissed Batistuta's face excitedly. He looked scared to death.

Tsk, I thought I could do something, Batty thought a little disappointedly.

But before he could make the next reaction, the lid of the coffin was knocked again, and this time the person was not like Neymar. He did not ask Batistuta's opinion at all, and directly lifted the lid and jumped in.

"Damn it! My hand!"

"Hey! Watch out! You're stepping on my pants!"

"Please, please, please let me hide!" Lucas said while panting, "A lot of ghosts are chasing me. I swear I have never seen so many horror movie protagonists gathered together in my life."

The space in the prop coffin is much larger than that of a normal coffin. It is more than enough for one person and more than enough for two people, but it seems a bit crowded for three people.

"I didn't let you in!" Batty tried to move to the side to give himself some breathing space, trying to stack the three of them in a pyramid shape, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Get out! Lucas, there's no place for you here—"

However, before he could finish his words, the lid of the coffin was opened again, and the fourth person pressed on. Obviously, roommates who have been doing this for too long will have their minds assimilated, and Pavard and Lucas have the same idea. Batistuta: ...

#Man on man
"Oh, it's so lively."

There was a regular knocking sound coming from above his head. Batty looked over subconsciously and met Augustus' teasing eyes.

"Hi." The French midfielder waved with a smile, "Why didn't you invite me to the party?"

Batty: ...

Destroy it, hurry up.

……

As the northern hemisphere enters the hottest period of summer, the heat of the World Youth Championship gradually wanes, and the media are once again rushing to report on news of transfers among major clubs.

This summer is destined to be extraordinary. On August 8, Barcelona officially issued a statement saying that Neymar would not participate in the pre-season training that day. Although it did not say it explicitly, it was basically equivalent to acknowledging the recent rumors.

The transfer that had been going on for half a month was finally settled. On August 8, Paris Saint-Germain officially announced that it had signed Neymar for a transfer fee of 4 million euros.

Paris's inhumane behavior caused an uproar on the Internet, with fans discussing it heatedly, and even the transfer rumors about Batistuta last month were brought up again.

Since taking Neymar away with a sky-high penalty fee, which seemed impossible last season, has become a reality, it is not impossible to take away another Brazilian player who has been pursued during the season.

Perhaps in order to reassure the fans, one day after Neymar officially announced his departure from Barcelona, ​​Manchester City officially announced that contract renewal negotiations with Batistuta had been put on the agenda. Almost at the same time, several European sports newspapers also released the news. Among them, Mundo Deportivo stated that Barcelona had already figured out how to use the 2.2 million euros earned from the sale of Neymar to strengthen the team - they will turn to pursue another Brazilian new king Batista who shined in Europe last season.

The newspaper also said that in order to facilitate the transfer, they have contacted his biological father Ronaldinho to help persuade them. Messi has also helped a lot. He is a strong supporter of this idea and has stated in the locker room that if Batistuta transfers to Barcelona, ​​he will fully support him to become the new "crown prince", just as Ronaldinho helped him back then.

Of course, this kind of "storytelling" type of newspapers are never very accurate in what they say. The British "Times" followed up with the news, repeatedly stating that Batistuta will not leave Manchester City until he wins all the trophies, and that contract renewal negotiations are underway. After that, Batistuta will receive a substantial salary increase, surpassing De Bruyne, who has the highest weekly salary in the team, to reach 30 pounds, and the penalty for breach of contract included in the contract will also increase.

As if the current football world is not chaotic enough and they want to add fuel to the fire, all kinds of rumors about players' contract issues keep emerging.

Spain's Marca newspaper claimed that Neymar's departure made Messi dissatisfied with Barcelona's top management, believing that they did not try their best to keep him, so Messi's contract renewal negotiations with Barcelona were put on hold. Now his contract expires in 2019, and Messi's team believes that they should wait until after the World Cup to see, perhaps his performance will allow them to gain more say in the negotiations.

In addition, there is a clear stream in the world of football, which is keen on reporting all kinds of gossip when transfer news is prevalent. The Sun stated that the sexual orientation of Brazil's new king Batista is a mystery. He often goes to nightclubs and dances with many people. During the World Youth Championship, he went in and out of hotels with Neymar and behaved intimately.

However, as the two of them showed off openly, fans have long been tired of seeing this kind of content on Batistuta and Neymar's social platforms. Therefore, The Sun, which is known in the industry as "reporting gossip with heart and reporting news with feet", did not make much splash this time.

There are countless true and false news, few of which can bring value, but they do attract a lot of attention.

Neymar sat in front of the mirror and browsed the news aimlessly. The hairstylist behind him was doing his hair. The transfer period was the busiest. He just arrived at Gambo Sports City to say goodbye to his teammates yesterday, and today he will go to Paris to participate in various preparatory activities.

The contract will be officially signed tomorrow, and there will be photographers following the whole process. Not only the Paris officials, but his father has also signed a documentary contract with a certain media for him.

As I was scrolling, my fingers uncontrollably clicked on Battie's personal homepage.

After parting in Korea, the boy went to Fujian, China for vacation alone (with a bodyguard). In the past half month, he has been posting photos of various local customs and people, and he seems to be living a carefree and comfortable life.

Among the various photos he posted, the one who appeared most frequently was a young girl.

When he first posted a funny photo of the two of them on Instagram, many people thought that this rebellious-looking punk girl who was making a metal salute and sticking out her tongue with him was his girlfriend. It was not just the fans who thought so. Several player groups that Neymar joined were discussing it, and they thought the possibility was more than 70%.

The hairdresser announced that his work was finished, and Neymar only glanced at it twice, made a few compliments, and then focused his attention on his mobile phone.

Should I give Batty a call and ask him?

Just when he was struggling, Batty posted a new photo.

It was still him and that girl, the two of them were shopping.

This time Neymar didn't hesitate and just hit it directly.

Batty was a little angry that he had stood him up, but not too angry. After teasing him for a while on the phone, he explained the other party's identity.

"I remember telling you that the Asian doctor who helped me remove the bullet had a daughter, her last name is Li, Qiaolin." Batty said, "The weird CP-edited video last time was sent to me by her."

"...You didn't tell me. This is the first time I heard her name." Neymar scratched his newly done hair. He and Batistuta had been chatting for almost 30 minutes, but Batistuta didn't notice that he had a new hairstyle. Or maybe he noticed it but didn't say it. This made Neymar a little frustrated. "And - when did I see the edited video you sent? It was about couples."

Batty paused and blinked: "Didn't I tell you?"

"I'm pretty sure you didn't send it to me," Neymar said.

"Then I remembered it wrong." Batty shrugged. "Right - not you. I showed Kevin the video of me and Pep. She has been pushing new ones to me these days. These people always form a weird couple. I even saw Ramos and I -"

"Who have you shown it to?" Neymar interrupted Batistuta's complaints with a question.

Batistuta looked at the screen, which showed an enlarged image of Neymar's face, with dissatisfaction emanating from every pore.

"No one, you must have heard it wrong." He deliberately did not give the other party the explanation he wanted.

"No, no, no, I heard you say the name of your teammate, De Bruyne!" Neymar said no many times, and then he raised his voice, "That guy is not a good person Batistuta, he deliberately targeted me last time at your house, stay away from him!"

He wants to target you, what can I do?
And how could one say no to Kevin? Those kisses felt really good.

And there is...

What if he refuses and Kevin doesn't pass the ball to him in the future? He is their midfield core. This sounds a bit like a transaction, but it is true.

Maybe I can get Kevin to play role-playing games when I get back, Batistuta thought with some malice. A super midfielder who holds the power of life and death in the team and a striker who is eager to score a goal, it sounds very exciting.

Batty looked towards the entrance of the stadium. Qiaolin had already bought milk tea and was walking over there, so he pretended that the signal was not very good here.

"...Ney...The signal here...Zizizi...The signal is not very good." Then he casually pointed the camera at a tree behind him and shook it. "Let's go. Let's talk next time."

Neymar opened his eyes wide in disbelief as he looked at the interrupted signal on the screen.

"You hung up on me because of that guy?!"

However, just as he was about to continue dialing, his father pushed the door in and interrupted him, "Change your clothes, it's time to go sign." Neymar Sr. said, "You have 10 minutes, and I want to see you ready to appear downstairs in 15 minutes."

After hearing the door close, Neymar walked to the bed, looked at the suit that had been prepared long ago and other equipment with the Paris Saint-Germain logo, and fell face down on the quilt.

Suddenly I felt a little regretful for not accepting the great director's advice.
