Chapter Eighty-Six: An Unbearable Memory

The boy wore black short sleeves, a peaked cap, and white gauze wrapped around his exposed arms and face, like a mummy crawling out of a sarcophagus of a pyramid.

With his hands in his pockets, the boy slowly walked towards Hook from the shadows cast by the trees with his head down, without saying a word.

"Mo, Bonnie has worked hard for you," Hook's tone softened slightly, "but today doesn't seem to be her lucky day, gamma-3 reagent... In the end, it failed..."

As soon as Hook's words were finished, the young man named Mo stopped, he raised his head and stared at Hook's back for a moment, the blackness in the depths of his eyes gradually spreading.

After a few seconds, Mo locked his gaze on the sparse white building in the distance, the red medical laboratory logo looming on the top, and turned to the boy and took a step towards medical school.

"What are you going to do!" Hook growled, holding his throat down, "Do you want to kill them all, and if you don't want Bonnie to recover again, I won't stop you!"

Mo stopped, the blackness under his eyes slowly dissipated, and the night wind blew from the depths of Arthur's Seat Mountain Range, making the boy with a blurred back look more like a child of the night.

Looking at Mo's back, Hook's eyes showed a little warmth for the first time, and he sat on the cold stone steps and swallowed the smoke.

"The memory of being stationed in the Green Valley Line was my proudest experience, but since Bonnie's illness it has become my most unbearable past," the shadow of the tree swayed on Hook's body, "I also thought about pinning my last hope on Bonnie and you, but God seems to be particularly fond of playing with people's feelings, my wife, my children, and you, Mo, all suffer misfortunes. ”

Listen silently, letting the remnants of the leaves dancing with the mountain wind fall on your shoulders.

"Maybe this is the punishment that God has given me," Hook stared at the words on the stone inscription, "The guy who betrayed his comrade-in-arms will always have to live his life with guilt, like a prisoner whose cheek is burned with a soldering iron, and the mark of humiliation can never be washed away." ”

The candlelight in Valhalla flickered on and off, and Valhalla was not open to the public at night, and the two managers were dozing off in their seats, but they didn't know that two men, an old man and a young man, had stayed for a long time.

"Go back, Mo," Hook tossed the end of his burned-out cigar to the ground, "Bonnie wakes up and can't see that you may be reluctant to take her medicine again, stay by Bonnie's side and take care of her, I don't need your help here yet." ”

"If nothing else, my plan can be successfully completed before Douglas takes over as headmaster again, and I don't care about anything to cure Bonnie, I'm already a sinner anyway, and it doesn't matter how many more things I have on my back. ”

Hook's eyes hardened, he shook his trench coat and stood up, turning and walking towards the main hall of Valhalla.

The boy named Mo left along the path and eventually disappeared into the darkness.

Ten minutes later, the alarm clock in the Valhalla management room rang loudly, and then the light of two flashlights began to shake in the hall, and the management staff was on their last routine patrol before leaving work.

The tall bronze statues in the main hall are not as eerie as imagined, but are filled with a kind of high-spirited righteousness between heaven and earth, and the brass nameplates are engraved with their names and deeds, and the fallen heroes still guard the land under their feet after death.

"Huh, what is this?" One of the managers' flashlights hit a white thing.

"It's like two white chrysanthemums. Another manager replied.

"It's white chrysanthemums again, and it's strange that someone sends two white chrysanthemums every year at this time. ”

"That's right, I reported to Minister Hook a long time ago, and he just said let's leave it alone, but the bunches of flowers sent by someone some time ago aroused Minister Hook's interest, and I don't understand. ”

"Oh, whatever, I went home and slept after patrolling. ”

The manager's flashlight paused for a moment in front of the bronze statue with white chrysanthemums and left, the light on the bronze statue's nameplate gradually dimmed, and the name of "Green Valley Regiment Sergeant Major Panson Young" gradually disappeared into the darkness.

At the junction of the coastal block and the commercial district is an old town lined with low buildings, where there are few residents, most of them are old-fashioned residential buildings left behind after the relocation, and there are almost no people to see on weekdays, but the housing prices here are indeed extremely cheap, after all, no one wants to buy and then be forced to demolish by the imperial high-backs.

The crescent moon hangs overhead, and the streets of the old town can occasionally be seen with a few stray dogs wandering between garbage cans, and in addition to that, a few sluggish, gauntlet fellows hurrying towards the coastal neighborhood with a few pitiful silver coins, it is not difficult to judge that they are a group of "addicts" who have lost their conscience.

On top of an uninhabited old-fashioned spire building, a pair of cold eyes were firmly locked on the figure under the streetlamp.

From behind the street sign at the side entrance of the "Fraor" bar to the old town of Xinlan City, Li Shiyi had been quietly following the magician for nearly an hour.

During this period, the gray rabbit on Li's shoulder had vigilantly watched in the direction where Li Shiyi was hiding for a while, but after all, no trace of Li Shiyi was found.

Since the "Rabbit Candy House" left, Li Shiyi quietly came to the "Fraor" bar, and learned that there was still no magician in tonight's performance session by asking the drinkers, and Li Shiyi, who vaguely guessed something, did not hesitate to come directly to the side door of the bar to wait for the rabbit.

Since he had snuck into the bar through this side door the last time he had followed Kasa, Li Shiyi was sure that the magician with a suspicious identity would make a move tonight and would leave through the side door again.

After waiting for a while, as expected, the side door of the bar was gently pushed open and silently closed, and although the man wrapped himself tightly, it was clear from the gray rabbit on the figure's shoulder that this person must be the magician.

Turning another street corner, the man stopped where he was and began to look around, making sure that no one had spotted his whereabouts, and then pushed open the door of an abandoned manor and entered.

The empty manor was overgrown with grass and showed no signs of inhabitants, but the buildings in disrepair were still sturdy and straight, apparently the remnants of some declining aristocratic family.

Li Shiyi's gaze slowly moved to the interior of the manor with the man's back, and finally stopped at a room on the first floor of the building, because the dim light in the room could be faintly seen through the overgrown weeds.

Li Shiyi on the roof is like a bat that comes out to forage at night, the black knife on his waist seems to devour all the faint light, and occasionally a few pigeons fly in the sky and involuntarily close their mouths when they arrive, leaving only the essence of Li Shiyi's eyes.

The lights in the room had been on for a while, but there was no sign of going out.

"Is it going to meet someone secretly?" Li Shiyi thought secretly.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Li Shiyi cautiously pressed the communicator on his ear, and after a few seconds, the green light went out, and Li Shiyi ended the short call.

After asking Conrad for instructions, Li Shiyi's palm subconsciously stroked the black knife scabbard, and it was time to head towards the inside of the manor.

Just as Li Shiyi was about to leave, a graceful figure in a white dress broke into his sight.

"The handmaidens of the Imperial Arena. ”

Li Shiyi recognized the identity of the girl for the first time, and for him, a regular visitor to the Imperial Arena, this highly recognizable costume could be seen almost everywhere in the Imperial Arena.

"What is she doing here?" The appearance of the maid made Li Shiyi feel very puzzled.

Li Shiyi thought that Kasa would continue to hunt and kill the guards of the Sea Realm Prison tonight, but he didn't expect him to come to such a remote place to meet with others, and Li Shiyi immediately guessed that the person the magician Kasa came to meet was very likely to be the "Raven Organization" that hired him to commit murder, but the truth once again exceeded his expectations.

What is the connection between the Imperial Arena and the bar magician? Li Shiyi really couldn't figure it out.

Therefore, Li Shiyi did not carry out the next plan, but chose to continue to hide in place, and must not act rashly until the cause and effect are investigated.

I saw the maid swiftly cross the wall and walk straight towards the lighted room.

A few minutes later, but the maid still didn't come out, Li Shiyi frowned, he was calmly analyzing the connections between these different forces.

Without waiting for the maid to appear, he waited for a special carriage to arrive, and four stout humanoid creatures pulled a carriage to stop outside the iron fence of the manor, and then a man in red with a round-headed cane walked out of the carriage.

"The manager of the Imperial Arena, Raphael. ”

Li Shiyi recognized the guy in the suit at a glance, and the four humanoid creatures responsible for pulling the carriage were not unfamiliar to Li Shiyi at all, whether from the familiar appearance or from the feeling of déjà vu, they were all exactly the same as the minotaur who committed suicide in the Imperial Arena some time ago.

What kind of big game of chess are this group of people playing, Li Shiyi smelled the smell of conspiracy from it.

After Raphael entered the room, Li Shiyi finally couldn't hold back, and after keenly realizing that tonight's "protagonists" had appeared, Li Shiyi decided to infiltrate the manor.

At this moment, a trace of coolness came to his heart without warning, and his eyes lit up, and Li Shiyi rose into the air at an extremely fast speed.

As soon as his feet left the ground, two cold and glittering kunai nails to the place where Li Shiyi had just stayed, and the force was so great that it directly shot through the gray tiles of the roof, so that this was an uninhabited abandoned building.

Li Shiyi, who had dodged the sudden attack, turned over and landed, the knife in his right hand flashed, and Li Shiyi's eyes looked like a hook in the direction where the kunai shot from.

Under the miserable moonlight, two maids in long white dresses were standing on both sides of the chimney, their braids hanging down behind their heads and swaying gently in the wind, and they were looking at Li Shiyi coldly.
