The clear sunlight shone into the tent, and the light did not make any sound, but Liald opened his eyes suddenly.

He had been in a state of struggling sleep all night, his brain never really sleeping, and he woke up at the slightest movement in the tent.

Lird tilted his head, but saw Edward lying on his backpack on a simple bed not far from him, asleep with his eyes closed. Edward's sleeping position was strange, and it looked as if he could be ready to go into battle at any moment. In fact, Edward's gun was in his hand, and the gun insurance was also on.

Lird rolled over, then sniffled a little.

"Awake?" Edward's voice suddenly sounded, Lird was startled, and looked at Edward again, only to see that Edward still maintained the sleeping position just now, and the state of the whole person did not change, and Lird even suspected that everything just now was his own auditory hallucination.

"Edward?" said Liard tentatively, calling Edward's name in a whisper.

"I'm awake too. Edward greeted, then looked up, his eyes piercing with a piercing gaze.

Lird let out a long breath and said, "Are you a ghost?

Edward shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "I prefer to be called an owl, and I've always thought that I was in the same state as the most similar to it. After that, he climbed down from the bed, stretched his waist and said, "I haven't slept on the bed for a long time, and I'm really uncomfortable for a while." ”

Lird said, "Wouldn't you have to sleep on the floor for a while if you go back to San Francisco?"

Edward laughed: "Not really, you must know that the United States is a magical land, drink a glass of tequila, smoke a Wrigley cigarette and you will completely melt into it." I'm sure I'll be dead on the first night I get back in the U.S. ”

Lird laughed, "Won't you have a gun in your hand at that time?"

Edward said: "I am a vigilant person, but not a neurotic person. I'm sure every woman I slept with, I wouldn't have a gun at that time. ”

Lird said: "Beware of the day when the horse stumbles, the most trusted thing can eventually become the most fatal weakness." ”

Edward smiled: "I really didn't expect this kind of words to be the mud that you came to teach, young master, I naturally understand this truth, but life is too short, why be cautious in every place." If people are really unlucky, they will be struck by lightning when they walk on the street. ”

After that, Edward pouted and said, "So I'd better really relax." ”

Lird smiled, and then said: "Now the situation is special, your fancy life is difficult to achieve, but it can also make you feel comfortable." Today we are going into the city. ”

"Huh?" Edward's eyes widened at this, and Lird explained, "Just go into the city and simply relax, is it a distraction?"

Edward looked at Lird, he didn't believe all of Lird's words, but he couldn't guess why for a while. Although Lird believed in Edward, he did not fully inform Edward of all his plans of action. On the one hand, Lird felt that Edward was a person who strictly followed his own rules, such a person had a strong ability to act, but the bottom line was unpredictable, and his plan for the Atlantean family was too big, and now Lird did not want to let Edward know about this secret plan.

Another point is that Lird still has doubts about Edward's identity in his heart, and he needs to know more about today's actions.

Edward scratched the back of his ear and said, "I don't know what kind of action you have, but it's better to go into the city than to stay in such a hellish place." Although the mountains and rivers are very beautiful here, I always feel full of the depression of death. ”

Edward's words were right, and it can be said that death had begun to loom over the land since the Atlantean remnants migrated here.

When Liald also got up from his bed, Edward suddenly said, "Did you know anything shocking last night? ”

Lird paused, and although he didn't want to say anything to Eduardo, there was an uncontrollable depression in his heart that he wanted to express.

After hesitating for a moment, Lird slowly spoke, "That... Edward, do you believe that souls go to heaven when they die?"

Edward was also stunned by Lird's question, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Is this a religious problem?" Well, although I am not a devout Christian, I do some repentance and prayer every once in a while, and I would also like to go to heaven after death if I can, but... Uh-huh, you know. But if there really is a heaven? Hmph, since the invention of the camera, I don't think there are many people in the world who really believe in heaven and hell. ”

Edward's words seemed to be answering Lird as well as himself, and at the same time taking the opportunity to think about Liard's question at a more hierarchical level. However, he hesitated but did not come up with a reason, so he had to look at Lird, who knew that Lird would not raise the issue for no reason.

Lird smiled bitterly and said, "I am not a Catholic, I have been a staunch atheist since I was a child. But during the time I spent here, I had to accept a lot of things that subverted my previous thinking, which was a... A feeling of being involuntarily uncontrollable, very bad. ”

The center of the conversation between the two seemed to be a little out of the subject, and Edward thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Young Master, have you discovered heaven here?"

Lird smiled bitterly, "Who knows? Maybe what I'm going to do next is to create heaven..."

...

The group entering the city was not large, with only four people, Lird, Qianrou, Edward, and a girl in white who followed Qianrou.

The girl in white who replaced Abigai had a personality and temperament very similar to Abigai, and her body shape and clothes were almost identical, and Lird even suspected that Abigay was using a human skin mask.

Qian Rou noticed Liard's suspicious eyes and couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't be nervous, she is my absolute trusted subordinate." ”

Lird wanted to say that Abigay was also your right-hand man before the incident, but he swallowed it back when the words came to his lips.

Qianrou then looked at Edward.

"This is your personal bodyguard?"

Edward took off his hat and bowed to Qian, and by this time he had changed into a gray cloak like Lird's, which made him look a little gentlemanly.

"Edward has seen the Priest. ”

Qianrou nodded and said, "I have heard of you again, the people who kidnapped me alone have been around my clan for so long, and the means are really good." ”

Edward smiled slightly, neither humble nor arrogant: "It's just a fluke, at that time, I was just protecting the young master's heart, and I didn't take care of many things, and I also asked the priest to atone for my sins." ”

Qianrou chuckled and said, "What's the sin of doing your duty? Besides, thanks to your help yesterday, I am the one who wants to say thank you." ”

"Don't dare. Edward chuckled.

Yesterday, when Lird mistakenly killed Granny Chas, Qianrou stayed behind to take full charge of the aftermath, while Jim brought Lird and Edward into the tribe after taking control of Fandu. Qianrou and Edward had only met each other far away, and it was the first time they had really come into contact.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, each of them boarded a raft and left the tribal quarters.

Jim did not accompany this operation, and now the Atlantean remnants have undergone great changes, although Qianrou has controlled some in a short period of time, but it is still very likely that there are great hidden dangers, at least Fandu and Abigai are still in captivity. If everyone leaves at this point, the consequences are very likely to go in the other direction. And the only person who can control the situation and can be trusted is Jim.

Hugo had already been to the town, but he didn't know much about it, so he asked Edward about it.

Edward told Leard that the small city was called Bad Dam, a city in northern India, and according to Edward's preliminary estimates, its population was about 100,000.

After a long time, Lird finally knew where he was in India.

Edward said to Lird, "Mr. Wyatt's business, though very large in India, is not as complete as it is to cover it, at least not in this area. When Mr. Pym came here and lost contact with the company, he lost contact with the company, so countless people who were looking for it had no clues, and that kind of search was really a needle in the bottom of the sea. ”

Lird smiled bitterly and didn't say anything, thinking that his father's anti-investigation ability was also very strong, and he didn't give anyone the slightest clue, if it wasn't for Jim coming to the door later, he was afraid that he would never have a chance to meet his father again.

Edward said to Lird, "This sacrifice is very interesting, and it is very urban. I watched her performance yesterday when I was secretly helping her, and although I couldn't understand the conversation between them, her determination to kill was unmistakable. Recently, however, she has another gentle and kind face, which shows that this person's plan is very deep. ”

Lird nodded, "If she hadn't done that, she wouldn't have been the leader of the clan. ”

Edward squinted at Lird, and then said, "Young Master, I'm reminding you that you must be more careful when dealing with this kind of person. It's not that I'm hitting you, it's that you're not that kind of person. ”

Edward's words made Lird feel uncomfortable, but he nodded silently.

The group of four finally arrived in the small town of Bad Damu in the afternoon, and as before, the streets were full of pedestrians coming and going, looking very lively, without revealing the oppression and impact of the war on the place.

Qianrou saw this scene in her eyes, and it seemed to her that these people who seemed to be living peacefully in front of her were not like her own people? Death was also hanging over her own tribe's heads, and who could guarantee that in a silent night, a few bombs would not fall on their heads?

The girl in white beside Qianrou has always played the role of a guide, leading the way for the group. After a short time, the four of them arrived at the restaurant. Soon Lird met the familiar restaurateur again.

When the restaurant owner saw Qianrou, his face changed dramatically, and he immediately walked a few steps to her side and bowed. Qianrou waved her hand, and then gave a few instructions to the boss in the language of the Atlantean relics, and the boss immediately nodded yes, and then led a few people into the private room in the inner hall.

When Lird walked into the private room, he quickly saw the familiar telephone.

When the restaurant owner retreated, Qianrou said to Lird, "The rest is up to you." ”

Lird thought for a moment and then said, "Can you give myself some personal time first? I want to figure something out, and it won't take too long." ”

Qianrou nodded, then turned around and walked out of the private room, the girl in white on the side followed and left, and Edward rolled his eyes and smiled at Liard: "Since I finally left the barren mountains and mountains, I also have to have a good meal, young master, I will be lost first, remember to call me if you have something." "Then check out and leave.

Lird breathed a sigh of relief to adjust his mood, he didn't have much time, so he couldn't afford to delay.

Leard came to the telephone and was the first to dial the call to Wyatt Manor. Unlike the last time he asked Gerald about his plans, this time Lird had some things to get done earlier.

There was a long wait, and as before, the maid received the call, and after a great deal of excitement and joy, the call was taken into Mr. Wyatt's room.

When Mr. Wyatt answered the phone, he was very excited, and eagerly asked about Leard's condition, and Lird smiled and told Wyatt that he was all right. And after a simple greeting, Lird was the first to mention his father.

"Sir, my father he... Let's go. ”

Lird's words caused the radio waves of the conversation to fall silent for a moment, and Mr. Wyatt on the other end of the line seemed to be frozen, and did not make a sound for a long time, while Lird waited quietly.

It was a long time before Wyatt's voice rang out.

"Pym: He... Is it still peaceful when you leave?" Despite all his best efforts to control it, Lird could still hear Wyatt's voice tremble.

"He walked peacefully, sir. Lird doesn't tell Wyatt about the inhuman pain his father endured before he died, but in retrospect, his father was very peaceful in his last moments.

"That's good... That's good..."

Wyatt muttered, his voice getting lower and lower, and finally barely audible.

The two fell silent again.

Eventually, Lird broke the silence and said to Wyatt, "Sir, do you remember a private detective named Edward?"

Unexpectedly, Wyatt's puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone: "Edward, who is that?"
