Chapter 30: Night Party

Professor Barker's residence is in the Rose Garden, just two blocks from the college.

There is an iron fence around the Rose Garden, and there is a security room at the main entrance, which is guarded 24 hours a day.

Once you enter the Rose Garden, you can see purple and red roses planted everywhere, and the path between the roses is a beautiful stone path, and there is a central avenue for two horse-drawn carriages to walk side by side.

Walking along the avenue, you can see European-style villas in turn, most of which are three-story structures, with luxury and freshness, each different.

In Su Xian's memory, Mark often came and went here, and the security guard at the door was very familiar with him and would not stop him at all.

But if he reveals his identity and enters it, he will inevitably leave a record, which will cause problems in the future.

So he didn't go inside, just waited quietly in the alley opposite the main entrance.

Soon after, a black-pulled carriage drove slowly into the Rose Garden.

Su Xian realized that this should be the carriage that Professor Buck ordered someone to call.

The city carriage is divided into two wheels and four wheels, two wheels are easy to travel and four wheels are stable.

When traveling in heavy rain, you generally choose a horse-drawn carriage.

The Rose Garden has a back door, but since you have called a carriage, you can only enter and exit through the front door.

A few minutes later, the carriage pulled out of the front door.

Su Xian clearly captured the moment when Professor Buck lifted the curtain and looked outside.

"It's time to get moving."

He pulled down the brim of his raincoat, put on the "Minotaur's nose ring", placed the "Rune of Time" close to his body, and ran in the direction of the carriage.

The "Minotaur's Nose Ring" strengthens his whole body, including his legs and feet, which allows him to run faster.

But if it hadn't been for the rainstorm tonight, the carriage would not have dared to speed up for safety, and it would have been difficult for him to keep up.

It can only be said that the time and place are favorable, and he is already familiar with urban roads and can follow the "Pythagorean theorem" to take a shortcut, so he can barely catch up.

The carriage traveled for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a post office after half an hour.

Su Xian slowed down, and without making a rash move, he saw Professor Buck walking down from the carriage with his cane.

Dressed in a waterproof coat and carrying an umbrella, he got out of the carriage and did not enter the post office, but stood under the eaves and watched the carriage gradually leave.

Then, Professor Buck unfolded his umbrella and began to walk along the path under the eaves.

It was still dark, but the light from inside the house occasionally illuminated the figure.

Su Xian followed behind, not in a hurry or impatient.

If his previous judgment had been correct, Professor Buck would have been wary of Mark and would not have approached him.

So for the past few days, he has simply stayed in the antiquities shop.

The antiquities shop was on College Street, and Professor Buck only had to inquire about his whereabouts.

This is to paralyze Professor Barker's sight and hearing, and also to lure the snake out of the hole.

Unfortunately, no fish have been baited these days, and he has lived peacefully.

If it were his own temperament, he might have been irritated for a long time, but he has always possessed the "Spirit of Villager Toko Scat" to his body, at least on the "Patience" item, villager Toko has a rating of more than 90.

Aside from his cool head and slightly improved memory, the best thing that the "Spirit of Villager Toko Scat" has brought him so far is patience.

After continuing to track for five minutes, he gradually entered a sparsely populated area.

The land in Brut City has not been fully developed, and there are still a lot of desolate land in the whole city, and some of them only have a few scattered houses rooted here, like a ghost area.

Here is one of them.

The name of this area has even been forgotten.

Mark has little information in his memory.

Su Xian searched through his memories, and only knew that there was a cemetery near here, which was probably the reason why this area was so desolate.

Professor Buck took a few turns in the alley, and finally stepped out of the alley, stepping on the muddy ground towards the large flat area with only a few houses.

Because there was no shelter in front, Su Xian had to stop.

He hid behind a low wall, looked closely ahead, and found that one of the houses on the flat ground was lit.

The light was dim, but it was still visible in the dark rain.

The foundation of that house is very high, and the area is not small, which stands out between those houses.

It was on this desolate flat ground that stood such a house, which was a little too gloomy.

Heavy rain is still falling.

Professor Barker's back became more and more blurred, gradually engulfed in the rain.

Su Xian waited patiently for another two minutes before he walked out from behind the low wall and walked towards the house step by step.

The black raincoat on his body allowed him to blend into the darkness and not be easily noticed.

During this time, the light on the front of the house flickered a few times, as if the door was opened and closed several times.

He realized that there should be more than one person here tonight.

This reminded him of the group of people described in the newspaper as if they were going to a masquerade ball.

But Professor Buck didn't wear makeup.

"Not necessarily, there were also suits and leather shoes in the group of people in the newspaper...... But it's useless to think about it, just look at it. ”

On a rainy night, the view was so poor that it was impossible to see if there were still people walking towards the house from all directions.

Su Xian stopped when he was about to step into the aperture of the light.

At this distance, he could already see the exterior of the house.

"It looks like a church, but it's obviously in disrepair, and the signs on the top have all fallen off, so I don't know which god it used to be?"

The door at the entrance is clearly in charge.

Soon after, he saw a man leaning against the wall and walking to the entrance door.

The man was also carrying an umbrella, and his body was a little rickety, thinking that he was old, and he stood in front of the door for about half a minute, and did not knock on the door, but only waited until the door was opened from the inside, and then he stepped in.

This seems to be performing some sort of procedure to verify identity?

"If that's the case, it's hard to get in through the main entrance. But I didn't think about going through the front door. It's enough to see other people in it. ”

After confirming that this should be a meeting place, Su Xian retreated into the darkness and walked slowly along the circle of light to the side of the church.

The church is not independent of the flat ground, and there are several houses around it that can be used as a shelter.

The journey went smoothly without bumping into anyone else, and he quickly came to the back of one of the houses, and then felt the wall of the house to get closer to the church.

The church is surrounded by walls, but it is not complete, only the first half of the church seems to be, and the second half is in ruins, and it is unknown what has happened.

But none of that matters.

As long as it is a house, there is basically a back door, and he likes to go through the back door the most.
