.

Malicious, hungry. Ed felt the invasion of malice again, and at the same time felt the invasion of hunger again. It was a terrible night.

He understood most of what little Git said, some of which he believed for the time being, and some of which he had reservations of reservations. He always felt that there was something about this man who had been playing intelligence games in Bablore's underworld for years was not telling him the truth, and he felt right. But all in all, the fact that little Jitter is secretly working for Dark Paradise and that the rabbit is Adele do answer some of Ed's questions, giving him a clear and reasonable explanation for many of the things that happened.

Then he looked at Adele. This is not the first time the two have met, but everything is already completely different. He's no longer the stranger who guested his detective friend at his employer's house, and Adele is no longer the odd hired woman who only knows how to do the work - now that I think about it, there is a reason why she can be liked by the old lady Bing who is physically in awe of Ed, and it should be said that there will always be an attraction between freaks and freaks that are incomprehensible to ordinary people? Now Ed is really interested in the lady of Dark Heaven who gave orders to Adele, and wants to meet and meet what kind of person she is.

He looked at her, and she hadn't paid much attention to him all the time, let alone at this point. With one hand on her cheek and her elbow on the edge of the table, she supported her head, squinting at little Jit, watching him get up from the ground neatly, hold up the fallen chair and sit down again, smile embarrassedly in Ed's direction, and then make a harsh gesture at her side in disguise. That's a very, very rude gesture.

Adele was unmoved, lazily looking away, and turned a blind eye to her boyfriend's fierce protests.

Although it was a little strange, the scene in front of him made Ed feel a little familiar, a bit like he had seen a similar scene somewhere. Then he suddenly remembered that Marcy seemed to have done the same thing to him in the bar before, and at that time, he fell to the ground and got up at the same speed and movement as little Git at this time, but in terms of proficiency, little Git's proficiency was obviously higher than him.

It was also when Ed thought of this that Ed suddenly noticed that Adele's attention had never left Little Kitt from beginning to end. And if it weren't for the fact that he had been deliberately paying attention to Adele for needless reasons, he wouldn't even look at this girl more, because in the presence of little Git, her presence was almost the same as the pendant on the bag, and the reason for this phenomenon was completely the result that Adele herself wanted.

The thing behind this is a little interesting - it makes Ed want to see even more what kind of guy the Dark Heaven lady who ordered the two to be a pair.

But that's all for later, and he still has business to do.

Adele is a rabbit, she and little Jit have known each other for a long time, and they are still lovers, both of them belong to the command of Dark Heaven, and Little Jit has been hiding his identity for some purpose, until recently for some reason suddenly high-profile invisibility, it is obvious that his master, Miss Safatina of Dark Paradise, gave him some orders and involved some secret plan. But that wasn't Ed's concern, he just understood why the Donfrie family came to him, and why the Dark Heaven's enforcer, Rabbit, suddenly appeared to help him. I'm afraid that not long after he came to Bablore, not long after he took out Adele's photo to a large number of sensitive people to see, he was already targeted by all the high-ups of Bablore's underground world.

It's awful, but it's fun. It's just that I pity old Duroc, who was inexplicably involved in this unwarranted disaster.

"I think I know now why you disappeared without saying a word, and never went to Madame Benn again," he said, looking at Adele, "and it has been a month that has not been convenient for you...... But you should at least talk to her. ”

"Nope." Adele shook her head and spoke for the first time, "Don't take the slightest risk. This war has nothing to do with my mother-in-law, and I don't want her to be involved because of me...... It's just that I didn't expect her to let you come to me. That troubled old woman. ”

“…… Oh. Ed paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyebrows, "You surprised me, Miss Adele." Especially as a child of the Netherworld. ”

"Don't take me for a fool, detective." Adele glanced at Ed coldly, "I know what the eldest lady thinks, and I know what she expects from me. And I will devote myself to each of my tasks - everything I don't understand, I will try to figure it out. ”

"Do you understand now?"

“……”

"I'll just take you to understand."

Wisely, Ed stopped the conversation and shifted with a dry cough. And then at this time, the barbecue and beer he ordered were finally delivered - I have to say, the little jitter was still very fast to serve, and in fact the hotel itself was very satisfying to Ed in every way. He thought that he might not be here for the last time, and maybe the next time he would really be for fun.

Without being polite or caring about any image or anything like that, Ed picked up the knife and fork and devoured it. Then, sure enough, after a few bites, he choked on the firm lump of meat, and hurriedly took two sips of beer.

Living by the sea in the wilderness in the winter is only possible in Star City. Although Stuttgar itself does not exist directly in the starry sky without being attached to any planet like the Oort Starry Sky Wancheng in the outer star region of the solar system, in fact, its force field shielding system level does meet the minimum standards of the Star City, and the technology in all aspects is also self-sufficient enough.

But in that case, even if it is a direct declaration of war with the Saturn regime, the entire city may be destroyed by Liuhe. It's really exciting to think about.

“…… Will you leave Barblair. Adele and Little Jit looked at Ed who was eating a lot, and suddenly asked out loud.

"What?"

"Leave Barblair." Adele repeated what she had just said, "It is because of the eldest lady and I that you were unknowingly involved in these things in Bablore, so we want to correct this mistake and bear all the consequences of this mistake - but this war itself has nothing to do with you, and you have no need or reason to continue to stay in Bablore and mix it indiscriminately." I think you should leave, go back and tell Madame Ben that I will continue to work for her after this time, and that I can deduct my wages for this period. ”

Ed began to think that the mysterious lady's good intentions had not yet fully taken effect, and that it would take time and a sustained effort to increase it. He should give some advice when he goes back, so that this half-android who lacks humanity and only knows how to carry out orders can do more work to experience life, and he must not just kill people. He thought he should throw her into a social welfare institution and roll her out for two years.

"I think...... Wages and anything should not be an issue to be discussed. Ed said, chewing on the meat in his mouth, "But that can be said later—I won't be leaving Bablore for a while." ”

"Why?"

Adele asked. She has a characteristic of speaking, that is, the tone words are very inconspicuous, whether it is to express doubts or fierce tones, it is very weak, as if all words will only have a full stop and no exclamation mark or question mark. But when you put it together, it's not surprising.

"Because I have something to do, Miss Adele." Ed said, putting the knife and fork in his hand on the plate, wiping his mouth with a napkin, and said seriously, "I still have accounts to settle." Private accounts. ”

"If you're worried about Detective Duroc, then I can guarantee he'll be fine." Little Git chimed in at this time, "Even if we don't do anything, the Donfried family can't really do anything to him." People in the underworld don't do anything to such famous characters, otherwise it will cause huge problems for everyone. Especially in this sensitive and special period, the people of Donfrie would never dare to make such a mistake. ”

"Do you know where Duroc is now?"

"I don't know. It's too short, and we didn't bother to investigate. ”

"Well, then you don't need to care about it anymore. I'll get him back by the way while I settle this little friction between me and Donfly. Ed stood up and took one last sip of his beer, then bowed to Little Jit and Adele goodbye, "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Little Git." And Miss Adele - thank you for saving me, I will remember this kindness. ”

"You're going to deal with the Donfrie family on your own?" Little Jit frowned and looked at Ed. He had already guessed what Ed's words meant.

"I'm not a fool, Mr. Gitter." Ed smiled, licked his lips with half-closed eyes, "Every stroke has to be clear." ”

“……”

"Goodbye, two. Maybe our next meeting will be sooner than we thought. ”
