Pushing open the door of the tavern, the blonde young man with a half-height dark green hiking backpack and some freckles on his face that had not yet faded was the man sitting at the bar, with his feet on the chair, bowed over, arms on his lap, drinking by himself.

When his gaze turned to the people lying on the ground, his brow furrowed involuntarily.

Zhu Jue saw this scene, his eyes stayed on the young man and the backpack behind him for a while, put down the wine bottle and said, "The target they are looking for is you, right?"

“...... Guys from the Grotesque Studio?"

The young man did not rush to answer Zhu Jue's question, and casually took off his backpack and put it at the door of the tavern, and asked rhetorically.

"That's right, it looks like you're the one who asked me to come here. ”

Take out the photo from the backpack, this is a way to prove your identity, Zhu Jue continued,

"You haven't answered me yet, are these people coming for you?"

"Yes, I think I was discovered by these bounty hunters some time ago when I was searching for this vehicle rental shop...... My name is Flo and thank you for your willingness to help me...... I think we'll have to get out of here quickly, and it won't be long before more bounty hunters arrive, details are said on the way. ”

Flo stepped over the corpses on the floor and approached the bar, his face showing no fear or panic at the sight of the corpses strewn across the bar.

In the face of death, he was calm.

This made Zhu Jue a little curious about this young man who looked a few years younger than him, but he didn't say anything.

Now is not the time to chat.

"My name is Bruce Wayne, where are we going?"

Zhu Jue naturally didn't tell the other party his real name, drank the last sip of wine in the wine bottle, and reported the name of a certain rich second generation.

Jumping off the bar, stepping on the ground with his feet giving birth to a light feeling, only then drank a bottle of spirits, Zhu Jue somewhat liked this slightly drunk feeling.

"The Swart Valley, the big valley behind this rental shop, is where we want to go, and if you want to get there as quickly as possible, you'll need a means of transportation, which is why I asked you to come here. ”

Flo walked around to the back of the bar, fumbled around the middle-aged man's body for a while, and soon found a bunch of keys, got up and pointed to the mechanical door next to him that had not yet had time to close.

Act in an organized and planned manner.

Zhu Jue watched his actions and couldn't help but have such thoughts.

Behind the tavern is the real vehicle rental shop, an open-air horse farm with an area of about 200 square meters, where the neighing of horses heard before Zhu Jue came from.

On the left and right sides are a dozen stables separated by mechanical fences and wooden boards, and only a third of the stables have horses.

I didn't expect to see such a retro means of transportation in this kind of place and still be used for rental, Zhu Jue smacked his lips, he thought that the role that this creature could play in this era was to participate in those ornamental equestrian competitions.

It's just that there is still a bit of a gap between the horses here and Zhu Jue's impression, the horses in these stables have flesh and blood on their upper bodies, but their four legs have been transformed into silver-gray mechanical legs, and they themselves don't seem to feel anything, and they act as usual.

"Most of the Swalt area is arable and plain, not suitable for motorcycles or cars, and the valleys we are going to are undeveloped, the terrain is varied, many places are difficult to drive, and it is too time-consuming to walk, horseback riding is the best option, and we should probably need their help in the future...... You can rest assured that these horses are professionally trained, and even if you are a novice, you can handle them with a little familiarity. ”

Flo, who was using the numbered key to open the corresponding iron lock, led the horses out of the house and explained, and threw the keychain in his hand to Zhu Jue, seeing him staring at the horses in a daze, and thought that he was worried because he had not ridden a horse.

Zhu Jue took the key and pursed his lips, disapproving Flo's words.

Do I have to tell you about this kind of thing when I rode Baiaki?

They packed their bags, and the two officially set off from the tavern.

As it turned out, Flo was right.

Whether or not you can ride a horse has nothing to do with whether or not you've ridden anything else before.

Zhu Jue, a beginner, had been on horseback for more than ten minutes before he could barely grasp some tricks, and by this time their position had long since deviated from the road where the tavern was located.

The mechanical horse's hooves stepped on the mud that was a little whitish in the sunlight, the dense weeds rubbed his legs and retreated, Zhu Jue looked at the fields on all sides and the valley covered by lush jungles beyond, a warm wind fluttered from the side, rolled up some green grass blades and flew in front of Zhu Jue's eyes, hovering into the sky.

"Great place!"

Zhu Jue bent down and picked up the wine bottle hanging on the left side of the horse, which was the drink that he had taken out "easily" in the tavern before, and it was very appropriate to drink it at this time.

Flo, who was beside him, seemed to be immersed in this pleasant environment, and Zhu Jue glanced at it several times and found that his gaze was almost greedy scanning every place around him, as if he was trying to keep these beautiful scenery in his eyes forever.

The two walked forward in silence for a while, and Zhu Jue's eyes inadvertently saw the blue bird hovering in the sky, and then he remembered that he was not here for an outing.

"Mr. Bruce, are you filming right now?"

Without waiting for Zhu Jue to speak, Flo spoke up first.

"Of course, this is my habit after the mission starts, if you don't want to be on camera, I can turn off the camera and the previous image will be deleted. ”

During the video shooting, Zhu Jue respected the other party's wishes, and forgot to ask before, but now that the other party took the initiative to ask this question, Zhu Jue thought that Flo didn't want to show his face, so he was ready to stop recording.

"No, I want you to take in all the things I'm going to say...... Why don't you ask me, now my mind is a little confused, thinking a lot, but I don't know where to start. ”

Flo turned his head to face Zhu Jue, exposing his face to the camera, and specially pulling the corners of his mouth to show a dry smile.

In fact, Zhu Jue, who was behind the sunglasses, did not feel any joy from Flo's face, but found a trace of imperceptible determination.

"What the hell is on that piece of parchment?"

Since he asked Zhu Jue to ask questions, he didn't shirk it, and started with the things he was more interested in.

"This is an item that my friend gave me before he died, and according to him, the painting on it was an altar of a cult, and he died before he could tell me the exact contents...... Killed by the cultists, this piece of parchment is his posthumous work, and I carry it with me so that I can remember what happened at that time whenever and wherever I want. ”

Flo took out a piece of parchment from the inner lining of his clothes and handed it to Zhu Jue, perhaps because his coat was pressed by the backpack behind him, and when he reached out, he pulled his sleeves up for some distance.

Zhu Jue's gaze, who raised his hand to catch the parchment, fell on the inside of Flo's arm, where there were dense scars, extending from the wrist back, and the flesh at the scabs of the wounds in the back was still faintly pink, apparently just healed.

Suicidal or self-injurious tendencies are still recent behaviors.

Quickly retracting his gaze, Zhu Jue did not ask him why, but spread out the parchment, looked at the familiar image on it, and then asked, "What are you asking me to come here for?"

"Expose the despicable deeds of a cult......! They all deserve to die!"

When talking about the cult, Flo's originally calm eyes uncontrollably surged with all kinds of complex emotions, and said in a deep voice,

"I'm just a slum guy, and the Federal Police doesn't believe me, let alone the desperate horrors that lie in this valley hundreds of kilometers away, and I can only turn to you for help. ”

"Cult?"

Zhu Jue suddenly became interested when he heard this, but he quickly asked with some doubts,

"You yourself say that the place where you live is hundreds of kilometers away from here, how did you know it existed?"

"Because I ran out of here three years ago. ”

Flo pointed to the valley, his expression changing several times, and finally fell silent.
