As time passed, the tavern gradually showed a trend of overcrowding, although Chu Ge only ordered a cup of coffee, but in front of the rich tip, the clerk had to pile up a smile and bring the coffee back to heat it again.

The environment of this tavern is actually very average in general, the hygiene situation can only barely meet the standard, and every corner reveals an old atmosphere, in this case the business can still be so hot, then it should have a very important relationship with the taste.

This aroused Chu Ge's curiosity, so he simply ordered a fully cooked steak from the clerk and began to enjoy it with anticipation.

After waiting for more than an hour, Add finally appeared in his field of vision.

Chu Ge didn't leave his seat immediately, because the other party was also walking slowly towards the tavern.

At this moment, the peak period of the tavern has passed, and several seats have been vacated, if Chu Ge expected it to be good, Eddie should have come here often to eat, and he was already very clear about the flow of people in the tavern, so he appeared at this time.

After about two minutes, Eddie sat seven or eight meters away in front of Chu Ge's left. The administrative officer's appetite seemed to be good, and in addition to the beef pie, he asked for two more servings of smoked salmon and a thick soup whose name Chu Ge did not recognize.

After swallowing the last bite of smoked salmon, Add touched his stomach contentedly, wiping his lips with a dark handkerchief.

"Mr. Add, I've been waiting for you here for three hours and forty-seven minutes, can you take a step to talk?"

It wasn't until the other party took out a sepiolite pipe that Chu Ge stepped forward and accosted the slightly vicissitudes of life.

Eddie is actually only thirty-six years old this year, and although his facial features are not very outstanding, he is still handsome.

The short silver-gray hair and the small stubble on the chin give people a mature heaviness, the light black deep pupils exude an aura of wisdom, and the smile on the corner of the mouth gives people a kind of affinity.

False affinity.

Or rather, he simply does not want to show any "affinity" for other people. This smile is just innate.

Of course, this smile is not the same as Chu Ge's deliberate disguise, and it does not have any deceptiveness.

Because, although he has a smile on his face, the pride in his bones is as cold and piercing as a steel needle!

Instinctively, I want to stay away from him!

Absolutely disdainful of fellowship with philistine, this is Eddie's "truth".

Chu Ge also had a deep understanding of this in his previous life, if he hadn't proved himself with his strength in that battle, it is estimated that the other party would have been unapologetic to him as always.

The reason why he didn't go up immediately the moment the other party appeared just now was also for this reason. It wasn't until the other party was full of food and drink and was in a relatively happy mood that he stepped forward unhurriedly.

Add smiled as he placed the sepiolite pipe on the wooden table, took a small bag from the pocket of his jacket, and took out the tobacco mixed with the rosin and wood inside, and methodically weighed it with his fingertips.

"You've been watching me from the moment I first entered the tavern, and since you didn't bother with my mealtime, I'll hear what you have to say for now."

"The time limit is one-tenth of that."

As he spoke, Add let the tobacco slip into the bowl and gently pressed it with his hand.

The statement that the time limit is one-tenth sounds a little strange, but Chu Ge only reacted for two seconds after raising his eyebrows, and he understood it in an instant.

Undoubtedly, the tenth refers to the overall degree of tobacco burning, that is, the time it takes to smoke.

Although Eddie looks mature and dashing, he is actually a true smoker, and he never leaves his pipe.

A bucket of tobacco is about 2 to 4g, and for normal people, it takes more than 40 minutes to smoke, and more than an hour and a half is definitely not much, but Eddie, this guy only pays attention to the word casual, and how much time he smokes depends entirely on his mood.

So, the one-tenth statement is full of confusion.

If you don't know who he is, you may be deceived by the so-called "tenth" time limit, thinking that you have calculated the shortest time, and then talk about it because you have a full grasp of the time...... This kind of guy was out early in the beginning.

However, Chu Ge, who had mastered the key items, didn't care about these things at all, he pulled out a chair and sat down, ignoring the temperament of the other party who rejected people thousands of miles away, and said calmly:

"I'm a poor boy from a remote area in the south, named Eno, who used to want to get ahead, but unfortunately I didn't have much ability, and I have been so depressed, in order to make ends meet, I have to do some stealing and stealing dogs."

Eddie lit the tobacco with a long match, put the pipe to his mouth and breathed softly, before nodding his head and motioning for Chu Ge to continue.

At the same time, he also took out the pressure rod and randomly plucked the erected tobacco a few times, speeding up the burning speed of the tobacco.

"Until last week, something special and something special happened to me, and it all started when I touched that dilapidated mansion that day."

"That house is definitely a mansion in our country, but I don't know why it was abandoned, and the owner of the mansion has long since disappeared. The strange thing is that everyone around me seems to have subconsciously ignored it, and I have never heard of it until I saw it with my own eyes! ”

"What's even weirder is that every time I approach the mansion, my brain feels like I've received some kind of hint, and I subconsciously want to avoid the mansion while feeling ominous, and when I leave, that feeling is quickly forgotten."

"In addition to fear, I guess there must be some special secret inside, at least no one else in the town should have entered it, it is still a treasure trove waiting for me to develop!"

Seemingly taking some interest in the information Chu Ge had described, Add removed the pipe from his lips and set it to the table to burn slowly.

Rightfully so, the talk time was prolonged.

"Under the pressure of making a living, I finally forced my way into the mansion that day with that ominous feeling, hoping to find something."

"I did find what I was looking for, but that's not the point, I found it in a strange study."

As he spoke, Chu Ge slowly took out a parchment-bound booklet from his pocket and handed it to Eddie.

The end of the parchment can be seen with the signature of the word "Sorge" on it.

The smile on Eddie's face disappeared in an instant!
