Chapter 35: Darkness Under the Light
Almost as if reflexive, the moment Cook saw the face of the woman in black, the ice flower pinned to his waist was immediately taken off by Cook, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the woman in black, and the cold pattern revealed loomed in the air.
"Laiyi Courtyard is really underestimated by you, and it actually appears here so openly. Cook's eyes were cold, and there was no emotion in his tone.
"Wait...... Is she a criminal?" Betty said in disbelief when she saw Cook's actions.
Cook didn't pay attention to Betty's inquiry, all his attention was on the woman in black in front of him, the matter has come to this, who is the last mastermind, can he not know?
The woman in black covered her mouth and chuckled, twisted the waist of the water snake extremely charmingly, saluted Cook Yingying, and said coquettishly: "Please don't be so impulsive, after all, I am also trying my best to suppress my anger." ”
"If I could, could I break you to pieces?" a flash of coldness flashed on the gentle and charming face of the woman in black, and then she quickly recovered and whispered to Cook.
His younger brother Jared was arrested by the teenager in front of him and executed, and if she could, she would have torn Cook to shreds right now!
But no! Jared's last words to her were a warning and a commission to her, and he put everything on her, and for this, she even watched her brother be sent to prison, even on the day of execution, she desperately suppressed herself, and endured every minute and second.
She has endured so much pain and endurance, how can she fall short here!
Patience! I have one last thing to finish!
"I don't think you'll agree. Thinking of this, the woman in black covered her mouth and chuckled.
"A bunch of nonsense!" Cook shouted coldly, and Ice Flower's trigger was suddenly pulled, and an extremely brilliant ice-blue tail arc slashed in front of the woman in an instant.
The woman in black did not dodge or dodge, the smile on the corner of her mouth did not diminish at all, just when Cook was puzzled, the space in front of the woman in black suddenly twisted and fluctuated, like ripples on the surface of the water, and when the ice bomb broke into this space, it was directly crushed and shattered, turning into bits of ice and scattered on the ground.
Ability barrier! Or such a large-scale ability barrier?! When he saw the distorted space mirror, Cook's frightened pupils shrank, as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer in the heart, and the heavy stinging sensation in the heart suddenly hit all the limbs.
The ability barrier is a means that can only be used by second-order abilities, that is to say, the woman in black in front of her is a real second-order ability!
However, it is impossible! Among the one hundred and thirty-six second-order supernatural beings recorded by the Empire, none of them had a description that matched the woman in front of them, could it be a mistake?
Soon, Cook completely denied this idea, everyone in the empire has an imperial people's certificate, this is not only the proof of your status as a resident of the empire, but also the file that the empire uses to investigate and adjust the information, as long as anyone becomes a second-order ability, the empire will definitely notice it at the first time, so as to modify that person's information.
What the hell is going on?Cook became slightly anxious at this time, the fact that the woman in black was a second-order powerhouse suddenly sank his heart to the bottom, and now he couldn't even figure out how she had escaped the records of the Empire.
If you want to change her appearance, her face has not changed at all, except that it is a little more charming and mature than in that photo.
Is it related to this man? Glancing at the young man beside him, Cook thought to himself.
But tampering with the documents of the people of the empire at will is a great felony, no matter how stupid he is, he will not do this, right?
"It's better not to think too much about it now, let's have a good talk. Just as Cook's thoughts were racing, the soft voice of the woman in black suddenly came, interrupting Cook's thoughts.
"When we first met, my name was Baihua, and I was Applejack's sister. ”
"Cook. "Compared to Baihua's ease and casualness, Cook's side is much heavier, a second-order ability, he is undoubtedly not an opponent, the dominance is in the hands of the other party at once, and now he can only act at the opportunity.
"Can you please let him go now?" Baihua pointed to the young man on the side and said with a smile.
Cook's eyes flashed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he waved his right hand, and in a slight "silk" sound, the young man seemed to be relieved, his hands tightly covered his throat, and he gasped violently.
"Baihua, why are you still stunned? kill him!" After the young man regained his freedom, he stared at Cook viciously for the first time, and roared at Baihua.
"Brother!" Before Baihua could speak, Betty had already opened her hands in front of Cook and shouted at the young man's dissatisfaction.
"Betty, what are you doing? Don't get away from that bastard yet!"
The young man's ugly face, even Baihua on the side, showed a disgusted and disgusting look for a moment, and then quickly disguised himself, bowed slightly to the young man and smiled: "Young master, I have some things to talk about with him, please retreat." ”
Although Baihua lowered his posture, the words he said did not give this young man the slightest face, and it could even be said that he was completely ordering this young man.
"Baihua, you ......" Before the young man could exert his might, Baihua had already raised his head and looked at the young man with a "kind" smile, and the young man's voice stopped abruptly, as if he had lost his mind, and stood in place in a daze, unable to say anything.
What kind of ability is this? Although Baihua is very hidden, Cook still quickly captures the strange lilac pattern that flashes at the center of Baihua's eyebrows, which is completely different from the black seed pattern at the center of Jared's eyebrows.
Obviously, it was because of this unknown ability that the young man was suddenly stunned. And it seems to be a psychic ability.
"What are you going to do next?" Cook asked in a deep voice, putting aside the distractions for a moment.
Although I don't know what Jared's last hand is, there is no doubt that it has something to do with the woman in front of him.
But what the hell would she do, something that Cook couldn't figure out, revenge on John was destined to succeed?
Everything is still a puzzle.
"Hmm...... What's left...... No, everything is arranged, but I still want to help you complete the commission as soon as possible. ”
"What do you mean?" Cook's pupils shrank, puzzled by Baihua's words.
"Then do you want me to tell you where the beast is hiding?" Baihua said as he looked at Cook with a slight narrowing of his eyes, ignoring Cook's doubts.
"In ...... Where......" Although he didn't know why Baihua cooperated with them so much, Cook couldn't help but ask, this was a problem that had plagued them for a long time.
"The so-called dark under the lights, the hiding place of all the beasts, why don't you go to the zoo and have a look?"
Baihua's soft voice was like a demon's whisper at this moment, making Cook fall into an ice kiln for a moment.
"It's funny, we didn't hide the beasts, on the contrary, there were thousands of citizens who went to watch the beasts every day. ”
"What if one doesn't pay attention and the beast breaks out of the cage?"
Baihua had already come up to Cook's side, leaned over slightly, and whispered in Cook's ear.
"Impossible! All beasts will only be accepted by the zoo after they are tamed, and the cage in the zoo is also special, even if the beast recovers its nature, it will never break through the cage and harm the citizens!"
Cook was quick to retort that he couldn't accept the fact anyway.
What are you kidding, if this is the case, then are the citizens who go to the zoo every day taking the initiative to send themselves to the lair of the beasts?
"What's impossible, no matter how strong the cage is, once it is opened, it will still be the same as nothing. ”
Baihua's words made Cook stiffen in shock.
"Who?!" asked Cook, almost subconsciously.
Who opened the prison door, and who was the director of the zoo, who couldn't even notice such a thing?
"Who? It's a little girl who opened the door for us. Baihua continued to whisper in Cook's ear, as if he had been addicted.
Cook, who learned of this fact, was once again utterly shocked.
"Speaking of which, you know, the man who went around speaking for us was his daughter who opened the prison door for us. ”
"That's enough...... Cook clenched his fists tightly, his nails pierced into his palms, and slowly shed a thread of blood, he didn't want to listen to Baihua continue.
"You can also check out who the zoo's director is. Baihua didn't care about Cook's reaction, and continued to whisper to himself.
"It's Hanlaws, right...... That's the creditor......" Cook slowly let go of his clenched fists, pushed away Baihua, who was almost clinging to him, and said indifferently.
Baihua's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then he frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Where did you go?"
Cook didn't deny it, nodded directly in acknowledgement, and said, "It's your brother Jared who said a few words to me last." ”
"Why did he tell you this?" Baihua stared into Cook's eyes, as if trying to decipher all the answers.
"Why? Probably his last days...... Have had a good time......" Cook said, also uncertain and gloomy.
"Happy?" Baihua's eyes were suddenly full of anger, and a little red overflowed from his lips, which was caused by the clenching of his teeth, "I hope he can survive!"
"No way!" Cook snapped, the similarity of attraction between him and Jared was not an excuse for him to let Gerid go, and the capital crime could only be paid for by death!
