Chapter 46: The House of Hidden Bones
Jerry was so frightened by a large dog that rushed out of the yard that he had never seen such a big dog.
- There was a giant hound in Rugley's yard, and Jerry didn't recognize its breed, only that it looked ugly.
"Gengen, this is my guest, settle a little!"
Rughley drove the giant hound into the kennel and explained, "It's just thunder and rain, and it's actually less daring than anyone else!" He said this, but his tone didn't seem to be calming Jerry's emotions at all.
Gengen was not obedient, and he still barked at Jerry, and the chains on his body were ripped by him.
"Go!" Ruggli scolded, groaned, and reluctantly burrowed back into its kennel.
Jerry sat on the cold ground, glanced at Gengen, and heard a snoring sound from the kennel soon, and with a false alarm, Rugli reached out and pulled him up from the ground.
"You're not frightened, are you?" Rughley asked, looking down and shoehorning through a wooden door that was shorter than him.
The door to this house was indeed very low, and when Jerry bent his head down and got in with him, he inexplicably remembered Gengen, the hound.
"I forgot one thing, the old woman shouldn't ......have come at this time," Ruggli said to himself, surprised.
"I've talked to you so much that I've almost forgotten what she's told me, and she's bound to be angry at me if she were to come at this time......." Rugley's words and movements suddenly resembled a long-winded old woman.
Jerry's gaze shifted to look around the room.
"Do you know the bottom of the ship?" Rugley suddenly started talking about something else, probably because he was afraid that Jerry would be bored.
"That's one of the southern constellations, between Flying Fish and Fly." Jerry recalled what the wandering old man had said.
"It's just south of Sirius, and it's extremely easy for people in the area south of the Chiron continent to see the complete [Ship Bottom Star]." Rughli added, smiling.
"If you're in Loznan, you'll see it rise to the middle of the heavens every January. In addition to it, there are eight other stars, and legend has it that when nine stars appear in the east at the same time, an eye of heaven will be opened that night. Rugri said mysteriously.
"Sky Eye?" Jerry and Zhang Wuwei were stunned at the same time, Zhang Wuwei turned over and sat up, listening attentively.
"Rugley, do you also know about the Heavenly Eye?" Jerry remembered Zhang Wuwei's words and began to believe it a little.
- He began to feel that Zhang Wuwei did not lie to him.
"You'd better not casually question someone born at the end of October, especially someone like me who has a vengeance." Rughley said coldly.
"I didn't mean to laugh at you." Jerry's eyes were drawn to a skeleton in the room.
"That's the keel." Rugli said proudly, and went over to the table and brought two cups.
He carefully grasped a long bamboo tube, shook it vigorously in the air, as if he was mixing wine, opened the bamboo tube, and poured the red liquid inside into two cups.
"A drink to warm your teeth?" Rugley held up one of the cups with his calloused palm and handed it to Jerry.
Jerry stared at him dryly with a straight face, not speaking.
"You look so cool now, I've almost forgotten how scared you looked when you were caught by an owl."
"W-what?" Jerry was surprised.
"In Alpa Canyon, your life is really big, if it weren't for the rubber band to protect you all the way, you would have fallen into the mud that day, how could you have the opportunity to stand here and talk to me?"
Jerry was surprised: "You mean—"
"Do you think it was an accident? It's Brad's fault, everyone else except you is standing in front of the Alpa Canyon, there's nothing more coincidental in the world, right? ”
Jerry remembers the day he was rescued by a giant owl, and his heart palpitated, yes, when he woke up on the train, there was only himself in the carriage, if it wasn't premeditated, how could it be such a coincidence?
"Leather, leather—you let it save me?"
Jerry asked, he couldn't believe that the man in front of him, who called himself a "ghost thief", was actually his savior?
The corners of Rugli's mouth raised into a sly smile of disdain.
"I'm a businessman, and your life—" he paused, "I didn't save it for nothing. I never make a bad deal. Rugli said.
"What is your purpose in doing this?" Jerry frowned, he felt that the purpose of this beer-belly freak was not simple.
"How could a thief like you be so kind as to send your owl to save me?" Jerry said questioningly, feeling the threat of Rugli and looking very excited.
"If I had known it was your owl, I would have fallen to my death in Alpa Canyon right then." Jerry gritted his teeth, regretting it.
He thought it was a disgraceful thing to be a thief, but Rugley's proud expression was showing off his ability to steal.
"Cassie's child, what a reckless man!" Rughley stressed sharply, and he walked over to the flame-colored fireplace, stared at the flames in the fireplace, and narrowed his eyes like a lone fox, "Look how beautiful its color is! ”
"As long as you don't give it an ugly face, it will keep such a pleasant color all day long, but—" Rugli frowned, and suddenly lunged at Jerry, grabbing him up, Jerry screamed angrily, and was lifted into the air by Rugley.
"Bang!" Rugley made a blast gesture, and he yelled at Jerry fiercely, "If you have to fight it, you'll see the color of your head, Jerry, I don't want to see you end up like this." ”
Jerry's eyes widened in horror, and he struggled twice before hearing a loud crackling noise coming from the fireplace, and his body slammed into the fireplace, disappearing with Rugley.
Rugley picked him up and took him to another place, and although the experience of going through the wall was familiar, Jerry was still surprised.
Rugli led him through the fireplace, turned around, opened his arms to him, and said excitedly, "Welcome to my secret cabin!"
After Lu Gli finished speaking, he laughed, and some skeletons appeared on the walls around him, and Jerry was shocked and fell directly to the ground, as if he saw a little ghost, which dilated his pupils several times: "This is, what is this place?"
"This is my [Hidden Bone House], in this state, you haven't been scared to pee your pants, I believe you have what it takes to be my student, Jerry-Jer!" Rughley laughed and tore off a ring of beard and threw it on the ground.
"Y-you-" Jerry was speechless in surprise as he saw a familiar diary in Rugley's hand—the journal of Cassie Jr. that had been burned by the fire had appeared in Rugley's hand.
Jerry understood something at once, and he was so angry that he rushed up to snatch the diary, but was grabbed by Rugli and fell to the ground. He was so thin that Rugli could easily push him down like an ant.
"You're dreaming! I'm not going to be your student! Jerry said sternly, "It turns out that you set that fire, and you are Brad's accomplice!" Give me back the diary! Jerry got up from the ground and glared at Rugli with angry eyes.
"This is my father's stuff! You are so hateful! ”
Jerry never thought it would be like this. Rughley smiled and walked to the stove on the table with his diary, his eyes shining with a vicious glint, "You have no choice! ”
"Y-what are you going to do?"
Rugli's brow furrowed even tighter, and his face became more sinister.
"You can only be my student if you don't have to worry about it, and if you keep resisting like this, I swear I'll turn it into a pile of ashes in no time." "This means that its survival depends on your final decision." ”
Cassie's journal was only half a finger away, and Rugli was trying to stimulate his emotions by grasping at his weaknesses through Jerry's large, dark eyes.
In the realm of the merger, Zhang Wuwei bent over and squinted, staring at Lu Geli, using his magical eye to visit, because the use of magical eye detection would consume a lot of spiritual power, a strange look appeared on his face.
- as if he was trying to figure out some of Rugli's weaknesses as quickly as possible. But there were some problems in the magical eye, Zhang Wuwei's eyes darkened, and he slapped his legs and screamed angrily.
When Zhang Wuwei opened his eyes and saw Lu Geli slowly put down the diary in his hand, he began to tell Jerry what happened to him in the past, his voice became trembling, and he was very excited.
"Do you think anyone is naturally willing to do this kind of work, and easily get 100,000 collection coins in the first action, those guards are not worth mentioning to me." Rughli said disdainfully.
"You know, when they slandered me for stealing a quill pen from Empas's ten collective coins, they criticized me for how hateful my expression was, and I was fed up with the days when they had fallen into the grave and been wronged—" His voice trembled.
"Have you experienced it? It's a pity that no one is on my side to defend me, and it's a shame for them to help a poor student—" Rugley said excitedly.
"But you shouldn't—" Jerry gasped for breath as he blurted out something when Rugley sobbed in pain.
Rughley sat down in a chair, buried his face in his hands and sobbed. Despite hating Rugley's work, Jerry would have felt a little sympathy for him. Of course, he was even more angry that Rugli had burned down the storage room and threatened himself with a diary.
Because he had always thought that a thief like Rugley, who was a bearded deceitful and tried to pry open the Phantom Pavilion memory cabinet, said that he was talking nonsense, and maybe his tears were deliberately pretending to deceive people now.
"Empass's nephew is just as disgusting as he is. When that blonde kid went to find your stubble, I knew he and his uncle were the same kind of people. A light flashed in Rugley's eyes.
"Hmph, I was going to pick him as my closed student, and when I found out that his uncle was the bastard Empass who spoke ill of me back then, I told that kid to get out of here." Rugli poured out his indignant words to Jerry.
At the same time, he clutched the diary tightly with his hand, but nothing happened. Fearing that he might be provoked, Jerry threw his journal into the fire.
At this time, Lu Geli seemed to have been cast a spell and became extremely sensitive, completely losing the calm face he had when he first saw him.
