1 It's different
The sizzle of the current should not be heard by anyone, but under the platform inside the Betch train station, someone seemed to hear the tiny sizzle. He looked up, a slightly pale smile under his wide-brimmed hat, "Finally." The light he was looking at lit up.
It was a chain reaction, the lighting on the platform was lit almost in no particular order, and the staff in the train station were hurrying around, as the sun completely disappeared to the west, artificial light sources took over the work of the sun, and the night officially came, and the time for their shift change came.
"Georgina. The man who looked down looked at the girl next to him, "Let's go, if you don't leave, you will be treated as a stranded passenger and cause trouble." β
Man...... There's no suspense to make, he's Robert, the hunter who kidnapped Georgina and escaped, and he's back.
Robert had already lifted a salute box and walked out of the platform in the direction of the exit, as if he was in a hurry. Because they've been sitting here all afternoon.
Do you remember why Robert left Patton? Oh, he was an escapee, he was a kidnapper, he was wanted, he escaped. Yes, that's right, but that's not what I'm trying to say. But......
"Georgina. Robert turned around with a frown, "Follow me, the sun has set, and I don't want to waste too much time." β
Georgina still seems to be the same as she is in [Time Elf], a young girl, a simple ponytail, except for a somewhat white complexion, it should still be the same as James loves. However, there is definitely something different.
"Miss?" The staff member who hurriedly walked by turned his head with uncertain doubts on his face, "...... you" He took out a somewhat wrinkled photo and compared it carefully.
"Hey. Robert sighed, "Here we go again." He was referring to the staff member who had been bothering him and Georgina since the afternoon, as he walked towards Georgina. Under his eyes, red began to glow, gradually filling the iris, "She's not the ...... you think"
"I'm not her. Georgina looked into the staff member's eyes.
The other party ignored Georgina and continued to compare the photos, "I think you are ......"
"I'm not. Georgina's eyes were redder than Robert's. She repeated, "I said I wasn't, and this time don't forget, I'm not the person in the photo." β
The staff was momentarily stunned, "I ......"
"The next time, the other person in the photo came and asked if they saw me. Georgina's gaze quickly skimmed over the photograph in the other's hand, which was a photo of her and James together, and the other was pointing to James, "You tell him. Tell him......" Georgina frowned, not seeming to know what to say.
Robert chuckled, "You can go." His eyes returned to normal, he brushed aside the staff who were still stunned, grabbed Georgina, and walked towards the exit of the station, "Let's go." I don't think we can go back to your old place. That Lance detective obviously didn't let you go, what a persistent guy. β
The two were sandwiched between the few outbound crowds. Robert seemed to be in a good mood, "No one has asked me about this wanted criminal. On the contrary, you, a missing person, are constantly being harassed by people with photos, hehe, Barton is still so interesting. β
"Where are we going?" Georgina, as if not wanting to respond to Robert's words, was pulled forward, and the ticket gate at the exit was approaching.
"Liszt. Robert seemed to have a detailed plan, after Georgina's body was visibly stiffened as she was pulled. He chuckled again, "Don't be nervous, I'm not interested in showing off in front of your ex-boyfriend." "Before, the ex-boyfriend must be James, that. Are you going to show off in front of James? Show, show off, show off? Let's not go deep yet......
"First of all, go and pay a symbolic visit to Lower Kozil, and show that the reason we have come to Barton has nothing to do with him and the Feast, well, the plan. Hmph, who knows what the plan is. β
"Do you need to go?" Georgina lowered her head unconsciously while handing out the ticket, the ticket gate is not a suitable place to use the Charm Pupil, there are too many people, and missing one is trouble, "Our 'blood clan' has nothing to do with the Demon Feast, they are just the introducers who brought us to the Federation......"
"Bloodline, hehe. "The sight was widened, and when they got out of the train station, they were really back at Barton, and they were greeted by the 'welcoming' Becky district, "You'd better get used to the name Toredo quickly, hehe, get rid of that obnoxious guy here at Barton, Toledo is our last name." Hmph, the thirteen clans chosen by the Holy Lord should not be replaced by the lowly name of the blood clan. The tone is sarcastic.
"Robert. Georgina pushed away the other party and took her hand, "You're a hunter, you won't really go back to Barton's ...... for the surname of the Thirteen Clans"
"Hahaha, how is that possible. Robert laughed heartily, "Georgina, you know I have only one purpose. All his expressions disappeared from which slightly pale face, "Ruined Grande." Hunter, Georgina, I'm not ...... Not worthy of being a hunter anymore. He uttered this gloomily, "Now I'm just a man for revenge." Luckily, the Bloodline who can give me powers that ordinary humans don't have, Toredo of the Demon Feast, has the same goal as me. β
Yes. Why did Robert leave Barton?
Because in the dark room of the prison, all he can do is think, to think about why he and his companion Rivench lost to Grande, or whether they lost in a disgraceful way under the human justice system.
Because humans are too weak. (In Volume VII, Seth had Robert's psychological changes when he was in prison, and Robert, who was just waiting for death at the time, threatened Seth, a witcher, that if he died and went to hell, he would become a demon and return to the world again, so that Seth would not get in his way.) οΌ
When there is an alien race that is stronger than itself in terms of strength and will shamelessly take advantage of the social laws of humanity, the hunters really have little chance of winning. No, it's just a gang of illegally armed thugs, the definition of the police.
So Robert had an epiphany, the hunter's aversion to aliens was their biggest flaw, and they could never win. So, he left Barton to find the true power, the power to level the scales with the Grande.
As for the Devil's Feast, Toledo has become Robert's power for revenge on Grande, is this something to be doubtful? No, it's the cheapest thing for people with the same purpose to come together. There is only one thing we need to focus on, and Toredo of the Feast already knows about Grande. The proof is Robert who picked up Georgina again, walked to the side of the street, and stopped a taxi!
"Liszt, Kozil store. Robert, who was already in the car, looked at the driver's face in the rearview mirror with reddish eyes, which was already beginning to appear, "Then turn off the interior lights, we don't like to be snooped on by the driver." β
The driver is controlled by two red points in the rearview mirror. I don't have the heart to reject this terrible expression, "Oh. He turned off the headlights, and the rearview mirror went completely dark.
"Let's go to Liszt's Back Street first. Inside the car, the neon lights on Becky Street skimmed over Georgina's face, and her tone was resolute.
"Georgina. Robert seemed helpless, "You ......"
"I want to see my former colleagues, no. Georgina tilted her head and explained. Georgina's previous work [Time Elf] was indeed in Liszt's backstreet, heh. James's home is on top of the Time Elves.
"Whatever you want. β
It's not too far to get from Becky to Liszt's Backstreet, but Becky, known for its nightlife, isn't a great place to drive at night, and it seems unusually crowded today.
"Why did we stop?" said Robert, frowning, just expressing his emotion, and he could clearly see the traffic jam ahead.
"It's blocked. The driver didn't seem to mind, "The road ahead has been closed for a day, saying that it was unlocked at night." It doesn't seem like so, why don't we go around it?"
Robert looked at the meter. Waving his hand, "Let's go around, why is the road closed?"
"Just came to Barton. "The train at the train station, so the driver just said nonsense, "You're lucky, something happened here in the morning." A medicine truck was blown up in front of Pixar's department store, and if you arrive in the morning, you will probably be in danger if you take this road. The police investigated all day at all. β
Robert chuckled, disinterested. Looking at Georgina, "Do you want to go to the backstreet to see your former colleagues?"
The real meaning is obvious, 'Your ex-boyfriend must still be working, does he still need to go?'
"Is it okay for the driver to hurry up? Georgina didn't want to respond to the people around her, and turned her head.
Probably feeling the strange atmosphere between the two guests behind him, the driver was very 'intimate' to speed up the drive. Cross the long street, turn the corner, grab a traffic light or two, and arrive.
Georgina, who pushed the door directly and was about to get out of the car, was stopped by Roberto and pressed a hand directly on her chest.
"What are you doing......
Robert raised a finger and put it in his mouth in the dark car, pointing in front of the Time Elf.
The stylish floor-to-ceiling windows of the coffee shop are blocked by an exaggerated painted bus. It looks like an old-fashioned bus from the old Barton bus, but the paint is all strange things, such as a muscular man in a leotard and a cape, and a bewitching woman with bee wings...... Fiz their Comic Con car.
Georgina did not remove Robert's awkward hand, on the contrary, under that palm, her heartbeat faded away. For her gaze had gone up and saw the lamp in James's house. Instead of performing the job of a detective, as Robert had guessed, James was-
A man in a cloak and a dagger in his hand lifted the curtains of the window facing this side, and the face we were all too familiar to, Zack's face was reflected behind the window, looking at a taxi downstairs.
"James. Zach tilted his head, "Your family ......"
"Shadow Assassin!" Fitz's voice suddenly rose a level, "Do you have anything to say to our storm mage?!"
As Zach turned his head, Fitz kept blinking, reminding our vampires, 'Adventure!
Yes, today is Wednesday, Dungeons & Dragons Game Night.
Zach returned to the character with a bow, then looked at James with a pointed hat, "Dear Mr. Mage, I found something with my probing skills, would you like to take a look?"
"Uh......" In this room, the only normally dressed guy is holding a thick notebook, "No, there is no such paragraph, random events are in the next cave......" He is the master of the dungeon.
James ignored it, picked up his mage robes, looked into Zack's eyes, and walked to the window, "The Assassin is the best scout on our team, we should listen to him." "I've been playing the game for so long, and James is already familiar with the rules, so this little strain is nothing.
"Thank you, Mr. Master, for your support. Zach smiled and bowed again, turning back to the window, "Look ......"
Silent. Most of the people were silent because the game was interrupted, and as for the assassins and mages by the window-
"What do I want to see, Mr. Assassin. James's hand tightened as he held the staff.
Zach tilted his head and looked out the window at the pavement. The taxi had gone and there was nothing underneath," I was just sure I felt something, two. Zach frowned and glanced at Benjamin, who was carrying a giant package made of foam. Alpha is the front-row character here, acting as a meat shield and bait.
The corners of Benjamin's mouth curled, revealing an expression that had never appeared on his face beforeβa wicked smile, because this man was not Benjamin, it was a wolf, and he would say it later.
Zach shook his head and looked back at James, "Maybe I'm wrong. He turned back to his team, "I apologize for delaying the team's trip, let's move on." β
"Continue, continue. The Dungeon Master re-lifted his notebook, "Just then, a terrible scream was heard from the east, and the summoner found himself in a trap and killed, and was ......"
As one of the staff bearers in the group was making an injured motion, the mage and the assassin retreated to the back of the group as the dungeon master began to roll the dice, "What did you just find?" the mage asked the assassin in a low voice.
"I don't know. The assassin replied to the mage, his eyes falling on Benjamin, "Anyway, it's gone, don't worry about it, now it's important to look at Benjamin, do you think about how to kill him?"
"He's too resistant, and a blizzard can't kill him. β
Wait, these two guys are trying to kill Benjamin? No, kill Benjamin's character?
"We also need a sorcerer, curse him. The assassin frowned and suggested.
"No, I can't. The mage shook his head, "There are more archers...... Fiz would find out, and then remind us not to accidentally injure our teammates again...... "deep helplessness."
"Then kill the archers first. The Assassin's gaze fell on Fitz, squinting and clasping the dagger.
The mage probably had a psychological struggle, nodding, "Kill the bow and arrow......"
Disappointed by the mage and the Assassin, Benjamin kept a wicked smile and sided with Fitz. He heard it.
We need to explain the current situation. Remember when Benjamin came back and told Zach about a deal he made with his wolf body? Benjamin can control the wolf body, and in return, Benjamin will give up his body when the other party asks for it.
Now, this is one such moment. Why do you think James would go home for this game night when Patton had another bad case?
Because Zach was in the afternoon, a phone call directly to the police station, "I don't care about Becky's shelter right now, and I don't care about Emilia and Kozil." James, night game night, you'd better attend. Benjamin now, not Benjamin, if you still care about Fitz's group of friends, come back honestly. (To be continued.) )
