Chapter Forty-Eight: Rick
After the painter's affair was over, I was left with a mystery......... Who is the person who counsels him?
It's as mysterious as the man who gave Lu Ford the failed evolution potion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Sitting in my chair, I couldn't find the answer in any of the fragments, and there was no doubt that we needed to beat the levels faster to unravel the puzzles.........
The weather outside was very gloomy, and the city that had darkened early was full of oppressive air. Television has been broadcasting more and more cases of murder and rape that have been taking place recently.
"Master, do you think someone will entrust us to take over this case?" Sam, who has been trapped in the 'color' case, seems to be interested when he sees this news.
"Even if I had, I wouldn't take it." I don't know if the weather outside is affecting me, but I'm not interested in this case at all. And I'm not really a detective, I'm just a very casual player. Who would have thought that Dream City would no longer hide this world that can't distinguish between the virtual and the real? Hologram screen .........
"So what if he gets his eye on the people around us?" Sam was worried, though his worries weren't unfounded.
I suddenly couldn't help but laugh and retorted: "Look at it, how many of us are not powerful?" The only one who likes to walk on the road alone is Wu Yin, who do you think can beat her except for the head of the 'You'? ”
I was worried that he would think of Cullin, so I answered, "Besides, who is he?" His team is all about maintaining order in Dream City, how could anyone do such a thing? At most, when we came, they bullied us for the sake of training the newcomers. But there is no such task anymore. ”
Sam didn't say anything, he turned to look at me, pursed his lips and sat back down. There was a sudden silence in the room, and the silence was terrible. The only thing that can surround your ears is the TV that is still changing the picture on the reality screen.
"I'll go back today, Sister Wuyin doesn't know where to go, and I want to learn Korean with her again." I could see that he was in a bad mood, and I didn't object to his departure, but just symbolically said to him 'Be careful on the road' and closed my eyes and lay quietly on the chair.
Before I knew it, I was asleep, and countless messages poured out of my head, and my spirit was constantly impacted in this wave. I thought about the past, and the image that was still fresh in my memory until yesterday was still fresh in my mind.
When sharing the same will with him, obviously the broken legs are so painful, he still smiles, and he can still rely on his obsession to reach out and touch a few centimeters forward, and the last red is indeed very beautiful....... But it's also miserable.
Speaking of which, my chest is still threw, and I can't breathe faintly and my legs don't dare to touch the ground, which must be the influence of my mental state. Fear of heights can't be cured from the time of the World Tree, and besides, he has suffered so much pain.
Jingle bell~
The sudden ringing of the bell woke me up from my dream. I slowly opened my eyes and glanced lazily at the door. A big boy who is about 1.7 meters tall is dressed very specially. Dressed in a dark brown trench coat, a light brown hat on his head, a pen in his chest pocket, his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, wearing black leather shoes and dark pants, his fair face has a smile on his face, and his eyes are shining with an unpredictable light.
"Excuse me, Mr. Owl." He smiled and beckoned to me.
Judging by his voice and baby face, you must think that he is just a teenage boy with a childlike voice. But he called me Mr. 'Owl'........ It seems that he is the man in the letter.
My palms clenched a little, and less than a fist below me was my gun.
I asked without changing my face, "Why do you call me Mr. Owl?" ”
He gave me a very perfunctory answer: "Because your office is called 'Owl'."
Then a glint of wisdom flashed in his eyes: "Who would have thought of the meaning of this? A cat's head represents having cat-like vision and being able to see everything in the dark. The eagle represents sharp eyes, able to see the big picture and see everything. The owl happens to be the vigilante in the field, and if the city is a large farmland, don't you drive away the rats that are harmed at these moments when darkness falls? ”
Very good! He's right! Aren't you afraid that I will have murderous intent when I am so sharp? No! I'm afraid from the moment he came in, I had murderous intent.
"Sit down and talk." I made the appearance that I was interested in him, and being invisible, was the only way to protect myself against these highly intelligent people, although I didn't intend to do so.
He seemed to see that I was running away from the question again, so he just smiled and sat down on the couch. I watched his every move carefully, from his smile to the way he sat down, everything was so natural and natural! It's like sitting in your own home without the slightest discomfort.
"How much do you know who I am?"
I just asked this question with a tentative mentality, and as for whether he knew it or not, I really didn't know it at all.
He still had the same smile: "Of course I do, agent of the Iteos Alliance. ”
!!!
I haven't even figured out the details, and it seems that he is an extremely dangerous character!
My hand was close to my gun again.
"Then you can't come here to apprentice, right?" I didn't move, and there was no smile on my face.
His expression was unnatural, and he laughed dryly: "Mr. Ye Bai, don't stare at me with such fierce eyes." You must have a plan in mind for apprenticeship or something, even if I don't say that you have a plan, I didn't come here today to ask about this. My purpose is simple, meet each other, get to know each other, and ask a few questions. ”
I just want to say that he acted too explicitly. If I can't see it, wouldn't it be like a retard!?
"Now that I know who you are, I'll introduce myself officially!" He stood up and bowed solemnly to me: "First time we met, my name is Rick, I am 20 years old, and I don't have a surname. That's it. ”
I snorted coldly in my heart, and everything was normal on my face: "If you don't have a surname, you must be a person with a story, if you have this leisure, tell me about it." If not, I won't force it. ”
He smiled sadly: "Oops~ After you say this, I don't talk about it, but it's my fault." But I really don't want to talk about it, you don't blame it, do you? He threw a look at me.
Hum! What a tough kid to deal with. If you don't ask, don't ask, I'm not interested anyway.
"If you want to ask anything, just hurry." I put on an impatient attitude.
He responded twice with high interest: "Okay! Good! Thank you for your understanding! ”
"First question! When did you become a shopkeeper? "His question was very explicit, and he even directly spread out the virtual card that asked me when I hung it.
"A few months ago." I replied perfunctorily.
He frowned dissatisfiedly, but still didn't ask in detail. He continued to ask, "Do you know the 'Night Judge' who has been very popular recently? ”
"Of course I do." I didn't say a word more.
He 'thought for a moment' and suddenly asked, "Has this man done you a great favor?" ”
You guys!? This sensitive word triggered my alarm. Could it be that he found Chen Changguan? No! No! No way! It is impossible for a man like Chen Changguan not to be able to prevent his detection.
Thinking of this, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a normal face: "Sort of, but I will never do anything if I want to arrest him." It's too dangerous. ”
He looked up at the ceiling and made a disappointed voice, and then asked, "Won't he be messed up if he goes on like this?" ”
"What can he do alone?" I made a soft nasal sound, and I couldn't make out what it meant.
I don't know whether intentionally or not, he stared straight at me, still clear: "What if he wasn't alone?" ”
.........
My heart was pounding, there must be murderous intent in the eyes staring at him, I didn't even know how heavy, and now my only thought was that he seemed to know too much! At this moment, my palm touched a trace of coldness and slowly attached to it, and it only took a moment for me to keep him here forever.
I narrowed my eyes slightly, and asked without the slightest emotion, "How did you guess?" ”
Yes! How do you know that I didn't use it? This kind of mindless questioning, because it will undoubtedly expose me, I know or the possibility of being the 'Judge of the Night'.
His thumb and forefinger gently pinched his chin, and he groaned: "I always feel that a person is so boiling, if there is no one else behind him, it proves that he is really a master of art and bold." I don't think it's possible for this kind of person in general. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, but the tension didn't go away. I flipped through the table and seemed to be looking for something, I didn't know very well, but I knew that it was something to relieve psychological pressure, and after looking for something fruitless, I sighed and sat down honestly.
"So that's all for today's question, thank you for the answer." He stood up and bowed again.
I waved at him, "Slow down and don't send it." ”
"Don't be so cold. In addition........." He paused and turned his head and said intentionally or unintentionally, "It seems that the prison has not been peaceful lately, and you can be busy." ”
With that, he smiled lightly and turned around, a step or two away from the door. I couldn't contain my emotions and asked, "You're not afraid that I'll kill you?" You're really dancing on a blade! ”
He let out an 'oh' and smiled, "Then why didn't you do it when you walked in the door?" It only takes a moment. ”
"............" I was speechless, and just watched him leave quietly. It's not a taste in my heart, and I don't know how to express the indescribable complexity, but I feel very uncomfortable in my heart anyway. There's one thing I know best........ He knew exactly who I was before he faced me.
Thinking of this, I was suddenly relieved. I think........ I found a good opponent for Chen Changguan!
