Outskirts, safe house.

John, Brian, and McCall sat on the couch waiting for Jason.

The sofa furnishings in the safe house are similar to those in the 3A apartment, which are all around a coffee table.

The difference is that the coffee table in the 3A apartment is round, here there is a long coffee table to match the long sofa, the two ends of the coffee table are independent sofas, and the fireplace is facing the long sofa.

Because, the weather did not enter the winter, the fireplace was not lit, but was fenced with an iron fence.

On the fireplace side, there is a wooden cabinet with ceramic teapots, glass coffee pots, white porcelain cups without patterns, dinner plates, and so on.

Brian took hot coffee and two teacups and poured coffee for John and McCall.

About 10 minutes ago, Jason called to say that he had something to discuss with them, and without any hesitation, John and McCall immediately put down their 'work' and rushed back here.

And Brian?

As the eldest of the four, he has been in charge of staying behind.

Although the level of defense of this 'safe house' is quite high, it is impossible to have no one left behind.

Kemi and Tyri?

The two girls' self-preservation ability is not as strong as Daisy's.

At the very least, Daisy has on all fours and sharp teeth, and when she whimpers, most people are afraid to approach it.

"How are you and Kemi?"

As he waited, McCall turned to look at Brian.

"It's fine."

"At least Kemi is willing to talk to me."

"At noon, she cooked for me."

Brian's face was filled with the happy smile of an old father.

"How's Terri?"

McCall asked again.

McCall was quite concerned about the friend he rescued, and if it weren't for the frequent accidents, he would have sent the other party to the intended destination.

It had been a safer place for him.

Sadly, nothing is safer these days.

"Not bad."

"She and Kemi became friends, and the two have been together all the time, and they have a good relationship with each other."

Brian replied.

"That's good."

McCall breathed a sigh of relief.

What he was most worried about was that Terri was autistic because of what happened before, and now with Kemi, the worst thing didn't happen, which really made the detective let go of his hanging heart.

McCall, who had a similar experience, knew what could happen if one closed himself off.

Having friends is the exception, though.

When Brian and McCall were talking in a low voice, John on the side rubbed the top of Daisy's head, as a bulldog, Daisy, who seemed scary, but had an unimaginable degree of stickiness, not only rubbed John's palm with his head, but also turned over his belly from time to time, let John touch its belly, and when he was scratched a few times, he turned around to rub John's trouser leg.

A smile gradually appeared on John's indifferent face.

The gloomy atmosphere also dissipated without a trace.

Every now and then, he would interject a sentence in the conversation between Brian and McCall.

"My channel will give us a batch of effective weapons in a week."

"However, if we want to be fully automatic, we need to program it ourselves."

John said.

"Leave it to me."

"I'm good at this."

McCall laughed, and then, the detective pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice: "There are many people who ask me about the 'mysterious side', they want to confirm that what happened last night is true, or someone is planning it - in this era, it's really scary!" I can't even believe what I saw with my own eyes! ”

"It's not surprising that in the past, there were a lot of guys who used the 'what they saw with their own eyes' to lay out, and they made a lot of money at the beginning, but in the end, they ...... It's a bit miserable. ”

Brian seemed to have thought of something, and said as a fun story.

"Is that the thing you're talking about is that the last four people only have 'little fingers' left?"

McCall recalled, as if he had an impression.

"Well, that's it."

"North District, unfinished buildings, explosions."

Brian reminded McCall, who suddenly remembered completely.

"That's right! That's it! ”

"That's a pretty professional guy, I didn't leave any clues, and the guys behind those four guys were all killed together - in my channel, this guy's information was offered a reward of 100,000."

McCall sighed.

John, who was rubbing Daisy, looked up.

"I did."

He said lightly.

"Huh?!"

McCall, who was sighing, looked at John with wide eyes as if choked.

Brian was also stunned.

However, then the two nodded in unison.

"I should have thought a long time ago, the guys in Cherry City who can be called professional, just a few of us, I didn't do it, and Brian won't, then it should be you."

McCall patted his head even more.

Brian and McCall didn't ask John why he did it.

The two of them looked at the appearance of John's dog, and they could roughly guess it.

After all, they themselves have come together for various reasons.

Minutes and seconds passed.

With two minutes left before the appointed time, the lock cylinder of the door turned, and Jason pushed the door in.

Jason has always had a good idea of time.

Jason, who hung his thin coat on the hanger at the door and changed his slippers, walked directly to the three of them.

"Drink something?"

Brian asked.

"Clear water is fine."

Jason replied, and then, without any barriers, sat down on the couch.

When Brian handed over the glass, Jason took a sip and then spoke directly.

"There's something I need to ask you."

"What do you think about what's happening now?"

Or ...... Do you have any thoughts on the rest of your life? ”

Jason was well aware that the three people in front of him were 'retirees'.

Although they were forced to act one after another before, it was a last resort, not an initiative.

Therefore, Jason was unable to confirm whether the trio would be willing to accept the legacy of Silver Glory.

That's right!

When thinking about how to continue the 'Silver Glory', Jason immediately thought of John, Brian, and McCall.

As for finding someone at random on the 'Street of Memories' to pass on?

No kidding.

Jason's personality dictates that he can't do such a ridiculous thing.

However, Jason knows better what happens when he accepts the legacy of Silver Glory.

Some of these things are 'trouble attractors'.

This includes, but is not limited to, unexpected money, extreme fame, and so on.

The legacy of the 'Glory of Silver' includes both, and goes far beyond that.

Because the 'glory of silver' has long been rooted in the 'mysterious side' of this world.

It is on a par with 'Copper's Indomitable', 'Gold's Wind', and 'Diamond'.

This is doomed to inherit it, and there will be a whole lot of trouble.

Don't expect that I'll be able to solve it if I learn, I'll dodge.

There is no such thing as a good thing!

It's like something that doesn't have rights but doesn't have to pay for it.

Even if there is such a good thing, it is destined to be temporary, and when it comes to a certain point in time, everyone will have to pay back double the amount with interest.

And, more importantly, the more you dodge this kind of thing, the more you will be caught off guard.

Even, it will get worse.

Jason, who lives in the 'city that never sleeps', has a deep understanding of this.

He had seen the so-called 'retirees' get into trouble and end miserably.

Therefore, he was going to question the three of John face to face.

John, Brian, and McCall looked at each other.

"What happened?"

John asked on behalf of the two.

"I accidentally obtained the inheritance of the 'Silver Glory', I have roughly flipped through it, and this inheritance includes all the basics and some advancements."

"Are you interested?"

Jason elaborated.

From the standpoint of a friend and a partner who fights side by side, he definitely doesn't want the three of them to have an accident.

John, Brian, and McCall were shocked.

The three of them are not ignorant of the 'mysterious side'.

After experiencing 'Edward**', they deeply realized the power and weirdness of the 'mysterious side'.

The thoughts of the three of them on the 'mysterious side' are unprecedented: stay away.

They don't want to implicate their families because they're involved.

But that was before the Sabi appeared!

When the alien invaders appeared, the minds of the three John began to change.

They need more power to protect themselves, their families, and their friends.

On an existing basis, the 'mystery side' is naturally preferred.

Just being in contact with the 'mystical side' and being in touch with the 'mystical side' knowledge are completely two different concepts, and they know very well the value of 'knowledge' in the 'mystical side'.

So, when John began to choose to arm the 'safe house' with modern weapons, McCall used his own channels to search for 'occult side' knowledge.

They didn't ask Jason.

I won't even ask Delbon.

It's not pride, self-esteem.

It's just that they know the 'mystery side', and each organization has its own rules.

To put it simply, they don't want Jason to be a friend.

As for Delbon?

They simply think that the other person is unreliable.

A 'mysterious person' who was frightened by three sword and shield Gatlings, a 107mm Type 95 single-barrel rocket launcher, a formation of 20 drones, and a self-propelled artillery really made the three of them very uneasy.

However, thanks to Delbon's broken mouth, the three John knew the 'glory of silver' and what the 'glory of silver' represented.

So, they looked surprised.

"Do we have any responsibility?"

McCall was the first to ask, and before the words could be spoken, the detective noticed something inappropriate, and he began to add, "Do we need to pay anything extra than the trouble that comes with Silver Glory?" ”

"The person who gave me this inheritance wanted me or through my hands to give it to someone else and continue it, and he didn't say anything extra."

"Moreover, Dada gave assurances that the other party is trustworthy."

Jason understood McCall's concerns and immediately explained.

With the old instructor's assurance, McCall immediately nodded and looked at Brian and John.

Compared with the unreliable Delbon, the old instructor is undoubtedly much more reliable.

Whether it's the body shape, or the way of acting.

"My age?"

Brian smiled wryly.

"Age is not a key factor, although most of the 'mystical side' organizations habitually train members from an early age, that is because they need each member to have excellent physical fitness, but also have a corresponding philosophy and ...... Loyal. ”

"And Brian, you're physically strong enough, and so are John, McCall, and you."

"Even, in a sense, you represent the limits of ordinary people."

Jason said truthfully.

These are not words of comfort.

In Jason's eyes, John, Brian, and McCall are different at each other, but their physical fitness and skills have really reached the limit of ordinary people, and some of them are even exceeded.

What if the three of them came into contact with the knowledge of the 'mysterious side'?

Jason was looking forward to that scene.

"When does it start?"

John asked.

Unlike Brian and McCall's concerns.

The indifferent John simply believed that Jason would not harm him.

His idea is very simple, since Jason has spoken, then Jason must have weighed it, maybe there are some drawbacks, but it will definitely not be fatal.

And that's enough for John.

"Wait until I translate it."

Jason looked at John and smiled, he took out the notebook he had given him earlier and opened it in front of the three of them.

The eyes of the three Johns focused on it, and the text on it was completely written in Tufuyu, which was like a book from heaven for the three who had never been exposed to Tufuyu.

But looking at the words on it, the three of John could clearly feel a faint attraction.

"Is this the text of the 'mystery side'?"

"It's ...... Well, complicated. ”

McCall paused before descripting.

"It's more complicated than you think."

"However, the font is beautiful, and it has an alternative floral feel."

Brian commented.

"The flower body doesn't have any special powers."

"Where's my room?"

Jason asked with a smile.

Although this was not the first time he had been to a safe house in the suburbs, Jason really didn't know where his room was.

"Follow me."

John tapped Daisy on the head, got up from the couch and walked underground.

The safe house is roughly divided into two parts.

On the ground is the activity area.

The basement floor is the living area.

And deeper is the refuge zone.

"Jason, this is your room, the daily necessities are new, and all the things you left in the 3A apartment have been moved here and placed according to the original appearance."

John pointed to the penultimate room at the end of the hallway.

"Thank you."

Jason thanked John for his care.

A smile appeared on John's face, he pointed to the top of his head, and turned away.

Weapons matters, he still needs to deal with.

Especially after joining the study program, John felt more and more that there was not enough time.

Jason watched John leave before pushing the door in.

As John described, everything was like in a triple-A apartment.

After closing the door, Jason took out the notebook, and just as he was about to walk to the desk, there was a sudden knock on the door—

Knock, knock!

Outside the door, Kemi stood there in a pale yellow dress, with fluffy hair and slightly red cheeks.
