Chapter 24: John's Resignation

Time flies, five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and today, the atmosphere in the city has become inexplicably hot.

In particular, in the new residential area in the northeastern part of the city, the wide streets are already crowded with citizens, and they all look forward to it, as if they are expecting something.

The origin of it all has to start with a report four days ago, it was the news about John's resignation speech, which really attracted the attention of the general public in an instant.

And today, it is the time when John officially gives his resignation speech here, which has attracted a lot of citizens and media.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" in a small restaurant, Jared looked at the bustling crowd on the street, and his frown did not relax for a moment.

Removing John from the position of leader of the city was indeed an indispensable and important step in his plan, but it was definitely not a voluntary exit of John himself, as is the case now.

His eyes flickered, and a cruel color suddenly crossed Jared's pale face, and he had decided that he wanted to observe for himself and see what the hell John was up to.

Buzz Buzz –

Jared took out the mobile phone that was shaking in his pocket, connected it directly, and said impatiently, "What's wrong?"

"You're still taking too much risk like this. On the other end of the phone, the concern of the woman in black stabbed Jared's heart slightly.

"No plan in the world is perfect, and deviations can occur at any time, so what if you take a little risk in order to fix them. Jared said unusually indifferently and calmly.

"Then you don't need to go there in person, you just need to control a puppet to collect information!" The voice of the woman in black suddenly became very urgent.

"Once the seed is activated, it will fundamentally destroy the nerves in order to achieve the effect of a puppet, and how much information can such a human flesh machine remember. "Jared is still so stubborn.

"But your body ......"

"It doesn't matter!, as long as it's for revenge, it doesn't matter if it's a sacrifice!" Jared interrupted the woman in black directly.

Seeing that Jared was already crazy and stubborn to this point, the woman in black was silent for a long time, gently grabbed the slightly stinging heart, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.

After being silent for a long time, Jared suddenly smiled softly: "Sister, I know very well what I did, but I have to do it, so you must endure yourself, and after successful revenge, remember to live well." ”

"I'll see you later, sister. ”

After saying the last sentence, Jared closed the phone directly, and the slightest struggle in his eyes disappeared after a while, looking at the glass of water on the table, he directly threw the phone into the water glass, and then quietly looked at the noisy crowd on the street.

Even if I don't see what their purpose is, I know that it must be inseparable from me, and even so, if I can find even the slightest turning point in this speech, it will be worth it.

From the moment I stepped into the city, I was ready to die here.

So, sister, everything that follows may have to be left to you, so you must be patient.

Jared tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, his expression grim, his eyes like a dead sea, calm and terrifying.

Click, click!

Suddenly, the originally noisy crowd suddenly exclaimed in an uproar, and all the media rushed forward desperately, raised the camera in their hands, and took pictures of a middle-aged man who was on stage.

"Dean John, why did you suddenly announce your resignation?"

"Can you tell us more about the recent rumors about the personnel at headquarters?"

"Is the cannibalism case advertised everywhere in the city real?"

Before John could fully step onto the stage, the media were already crowded, following John's footsteps closely, interrogating him like a tongue-in-cheek shrew.

In this regard, John directly chose to ignore it, walked straight to the front of the stage, bowed slightly to the crowd gathered in the audience, and then beckoned, calling a few strong security guards to push the media personnel in front of him away.

"I hope that you will be considerate and will answer your questions one by one after my formal speech. John straightened his collar and smiled gracefully at the various media personnel in front of him.

"Although it happened suddenly, I decided to officially resign from this position. ”

The first sentence of John's speech officially detonated the atmosphere of the scene, and the crowd, which had been relatively quiet, suddenly stirred again, and they were still shocked after hearing John say this with their own ears.

Clearing his throat, John continued solemnly: "I have been the dean of this city for nearly thirty years, and I think that I have never failed to do my best in this city, but I have a deep sense of powerlessness in the events that have occurred in the past month. ”

"Maybe there will be many citizens at the scene who are dissatisfied with me and want to ask me why I didn't bring those prisoners to justice, and I can only say, I'm sorry, or I'm too powerless. ”

"In the past month, I have tried my best to investigate the mutilation case, but unfortunately, I still found nothing. ”

John's originally upright body seemed to have aged a lot at this moment, and he looked at the many citizens in the audience and shook his head apologetically.

But this was not the answer that many citizens wanted, and at the moment, there was an angry cheer from the crowd.

"Then you want to resign so that you can completely get rid of this responsibility?!"

John shook his head and replied, "I resigned because I had failed the expectations of the citizens, and after I resigned, I will remain here to assist the new dean until the matter is completely resolved." ”

"And how sure are you that you can solve the case in the city?" a member of the media asked John directly.

"The new dean will be a very good leader, and with his guidance, I believe that there is a high probability that the case in the city will be resolved, and everyone can pin their hopes on him. John replied.

"Can the new dean tell us about it?"

"I'm sorry, but this information is not discloseable. ”

"And what are your plans for the future after solving this case?"

"Go back to my hometown and spend time with my family. ”

The media kept asking John all kinds of questions, and John also responded very calmly, and it was obvious that this was not the first time he had experienced such an occasion.

In the middle of a tall building, Hai Landuo suddenly opened his eyes, and the crimson halo around him was instantly retracted into his body, and he said lightly: "Little Cook, I have found Jared." ”

"Huh, so fast?" Cook looked at his watch in astonishment, John's speech hadn't even lasted ten minutes, and Sister Lan had already found Jared?

I have to say, Sister Lan's derivative ability is convenient, can I have it in the future? Cook couldn't help but feel a little longing, but the derivative ability can only be awakened by second-order abilities, and there are very few people who can awaken, so don't think about it so much now.

Derivative abilities are small abilities that only second-order abilities are eligible to awaken, and most of them play some auxiliary role, and the abilities of the ability can play a complementary role, and to a certain extent, can make up for some of the shortcomings of the ability itself.

In the case of Hylando, Hylando's ability [Mystery] is a very powerful combat ability, but it doesn't do the slightest bit in terms of detection, but her derivative ability can shine in this regard.

Highland's token connects her senses to the petals she marked, so she can hear or see everything around her from those petals, making it a great deal for detection.

In the past, the bouquet of flowers she sent to the Dragon Circus was used by her to collect information, but the headache was that the people in those troupes really offered the bouquet as their ancestors, and kept it in the director's room backstage, and all that could be seen every day was the stupid leader, and no useful information could be obtained.

"Jared is now in a restaurant called Kangura. Highlander said directly to Cook, but then showed a look of confusion.

"Sister Lan, what's wrong?" Seeing Hai Landuo's puzzled face, Cook couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, it's just weird, why doesn't he disguise himself?"

Jared in the restaurant did not deliberately change his appearance, and he still looked like usual.

Cook is also a little puzzled, could it be that the guy is very confident that he can get out of here?

Or was he ready to be arrested? and didn't plan to struggle any more? If so, it was really as he thought, and Jared had already put his plans on the table more important than his own life.

Even if you die here, do you have to find the last loophole and take revenge on John desperately......

To be honest, Cook didn't feel very incomprehensible, whether it was Jared's persistence, or his madness, his hatred, it was far beyond his comprehension.

But even so, he's going to arrest Jared!

"Don't you really need my sister to help you?" Highlander still couldn't put his mind at ease in the end, and always felt that it was too reluctant to let Cook deal with Jared alone.

Cook grinned at Hailanduo and said, "Don't worry, Sister Lan, you are here to guard against another mastermind behind the scenes, in case she comes out with the demon seed to kill the citizens, you still need Sister Lan to come to the town." ”

"And I always felt that I had to arrest him myself. ”

This was his challenge to Jared, and he had to go alone.
