Chapter 123: The Records of the Scroll
Hearing this, Peter was driving the wheels of the taxi by a slight margin.
With one hand on the steering wheel, Peter reached for the radio with the other.
Didi –
The radio switched a channel, this time a radio shopping guide show, in which the host was chattering about the product.
Su Lei, who was sitting in the back seat, moved his eyelids, but he didn't open them.
"Peter, why don't you listen?"
Peter's eyes were staring straight ahead, whether he was adjusting his direction.
"I hate hearing about death by my profession. ”
"Especially the ...... who died in car accidents"
After saying that, Peter turned off the radio.
"The hosts of the radio stations have received the black money of the capitalists, and they are selling to us the defective products that have accumulated in the warehouses of the capitalists without conscience......
"If you could, the high-flying capitalists and the well-fed hosts should have a car accident. ”
Peter muttered, slapping the steering wheel hard.
Sulei's eyes gradually opened, and he stared at the back of Peter's head with a deep gaze.
Although Peter's movements to change the channel were fast, Su Lei's super hearing could still hear the last words of the host before changing the channel.
"On the last day of the month, we were shocked by the 13th suicide case in our city......"
"Peter, what did you do before?"
"I was a worker in a factory, and that greedy boss fired me before Christmas in order to save costs......"
As if having found someone to confide in, Peter poured bitter water on Sulei.
"Our family lost their financial resources until I got this job as a taxi driver. ”
"Thank you for ......"
As he spoke, Peter swallowed the word directly.
"So your boss deserves to die too?" asked Suray suddenly.
"Of course he damns ......"
Suddenly, Peter shut his mouth, "Oh my God, what am I talking about?"
"Sir, I'm just complaining about ...... life"
Peter explained to Suray.
"Relax, Mr. Peter, I'm just asking. ”
Su Lei leaned on the back seat, holding his mobile phone in his hand, and the fluorescent light of the screen shone on Su Lei's face, and the atmosphere was gloomy.
"How long will it take?"
Su Lei turned off the phone screen, stretched, and looked out the window.
"Thirty minutes to go, sir. ”
"I'll take a break...... Don't take a detour. Su Lei withdrew his gaze from the houses on both sides of the road and said lightly.
"Trust me sir, I'm the living map of Los Angeles, and I can go anywhere in the city, even without navigation. ”
Peter patted his chest confidently, looked up at Su Lei, who had closed his eyes, and clenched his hand holding the steering wheel, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
......
There was no word all the way, and the taxi stopped steadily in front of the farm.
Suray stepped out of the car and looked at Peter as he rolled down the window.
"How much do I have to pay you?"
"$60. ”
"It's $100 and the rest is for Little John. ”
Su Lei drew a large bill from his wallet.
"You can see that you love little John. ”
Peter did not respond to Sulei's words, but looked up at the more than 20 thick and dense trees on Sulei's farm.
Retracting his gaze from Suray's wide farm, Peter pursed his lips.
"It seems that you are a rich man, and you should be glad that you do not feel the pain of my class. ”
"Thank you for the tip, I accepted it on behalf of little John. ”
Without waiting for Surey to reply, Peter rolled up the window and walked away.
"Whoop—whoa—"
The sound of the horse's nose came from far and near, and Geralt approached on black gold.
"Boss, are you back?"
"I've got Miss Erin off the airport without a hitch. ”
Geralt jumped off his horse and stroked his black gold mane.
glanced at the car in the distance, and saw that Su Lei was still stopping to look.
Geralt couldn't help but ask, "Boss?"
"Ah, Geralt......" Suray came back to his senses and raised his hand to nod in the direction Peter had left.
"I'm sure it's him the guy who made the pact with the demons. ”
"What, boss, are you alright?" Geralt was shocked and looked Suray up and down.
Su Lei waved his hand, "Along the way, he seems to be extraordinarily honest and hasn't made any weird moves." ”
Think of those knee-jerk movements Peter made on the road.
Since I got into the car, I have been sweating excessively, and I peeked at myself through the rearview mirror from time to time.
The lane that deviated the moment I heard the suicide on the radio.
There is also blurting out that he hopes for the death of the factory owner.
Sure's eyes narrowed, and he raised the phone in his hand to Geralt.
"The owner of the factory where Peter used to work was called Volitt. ”
"I texted Anderson in the car, and it turned out that Wallett had died by suicide last month. ”
"Cause of death...... Fell to his death. ”
"Shortly after Peter became a taxi driver. ”
Geralt nodded, tightened the reins in his hand, and looked at Su Lei and said.
"Boss, we guess we're busy tonight. ”
"yes, I've stuck the cross into the sponge in the back seat. Surey twisted his body from side to side, "Geralt, are you sure you've found his place?"
"No problem. ”
Su Lei turned and walked towards the cabin, "That's good, I'll go back to bed first...... Hopefully Anderson won't blame me for calling him up tonight. ”
......
Time goes back to last night.
When Erin beside him fell asleep, Su Lei gently took Erin's arm around his neck and tiptoed out of bed.
Through the exploration of the demarcation stone, Suray discovered that the lights in Geralt's storeroom had not been extinguished.
Knock Knock Knock –
Putting on a coat and shining in the moonlight, Suray came to the storeroom and knocked on the door.
"Geralt ......"
A moment later, the door opened a crack, and Suray flashed in sideways.
Hearing the sound of the door, Heijin, who was originally resting, fluttered, and when he saw that it was Su Lei, he returned to silence.
"You really didn't rest. Surey followed Geralt to the little bed and sat down.
"From what I know about the boss......," Geralt smiled, "I don't leave unknown threats until the night." ”
"I need to check the record of the blackening of the cross. ”
Geralt took out a heavy oak box from under the bed and pulled out a volume more than ten centimeters thick.
By the light, Su Lei saw that there were still traces of mold left by the death of the mold on the book, and on the cover, he could also see the damage caused by the flames burning black.
"Show me the cross in your hand. ”
Sureyi handed the swarthy cross to Geralt.
Geralt took the cross and carefully gathered it over his head, squinting and observing it through the light.
After a long time, Geralt placed it on the small table, took a silver dagger from the drawer, and scraped it rustling against the surface of the cross.
"Boss, I can be sure that the cross has become like this because it has been corrupted by evil forces. ”
Geralt spread out the scraped powder with his fingers and asked Suray to look at it.
"The powder scraped from the cross is also black...... Even the inside, it's turned black!"
Forcefully cut horizontally on the cross, revealing the cross-section inside, which is really dark.
A smell of old leather goods came, and it was Geralt who opened the scroll.
"This is a record that has been passed down through the generations of our witchers, and there will be an explanation for this matter......"
Geralt held the cross in one hand and quickly flipped through the tome in the other.
Su Lei watched from the side, looking at the scroll written in black ink in flowery English, with many sketches of unknown creatures and several mysterious symbols on it.
"On the cross, I have attached it with divine power and baptized it with holy water. ”
"The power that can infect it must be the opposite of the divine power......"
Geralt's face almost fell to the scroll, and his mouth kept muttering.
After rummaging through dozens of pages, all of a sudden, Geralt's movements stopped.
Placing the tome in the light, Geralt compared the cross with the tome and shouted, "Found it!"
"It's the devil!"
