Chapter 8: Pain and Yellow Clothes

Pull back thoughts from distant memories,

The scar on Mills' back seemed to ache faintly,

reminded him that the aura on Yudekaw's body might have something to do with that evil presence.

In the time after Mills was rescued, he didn't mention the absurd but real trembling past on the desert island.

It wasn't until he got to work that he saved some of his entanglements and opened the Black Pepper Bar in the city of Ulm.

The imprint on the door reminds Mills every day that there is a world of existence that cannot be proven by modern science.

They are beyond the limits of human cognition, and they are inherently at a higher level;

But at the same time, it is also a gamble that this mark is so openly printed in front of the door,

Mills fearlessly wanted to know what kind of evil god had caused the disaster.

It's not that Mills desires to have the power of a positive god,

It's just that he hopes that in this way, maybe he can attract some people in the know.

Give Mills a half-clawed clue to the truth behind the scenes.

Yudecao wiped the raindrops off his body in the bathroom, stepped out of the bathroom, and sat down on the edge of the bar where he usually sits.

He took the hot coffee from the bartender with both hands, put it to his lips and blew on it twice, taking a sip gently.

The fragrant coffee beans are fried to provide a mellow roasted burnt aroma.

The fragrant coffee and fresh milk are skillfully blended together, and the taste is smooth in the mouth.

The addition of the right amount of granulated sugar gives this cup of coffee a hint of sweetness.

As the coffee slowly settles down your throat, the warmth of the coffee drives away the chill from the raindrops.

Slightly tired and embarrassed, Dr. Yudekaw now experienced a trace of warmth in the Black Pepper Bar that he could not experience at home.

Boss Mills spoke,

"Dr. Yudekaw, is our coffee still to your taste?"

Yudekaw exclaimed,

"It's great, it's much better than the ones in our hospital."

Mills responded,

"Of course, we use coffee beans from Southeast Asia, roast them and then grind them into powder.

It took a lot of work.

By the way, what's going on with your mother-in-law lately? ”

Yudekao smiled bitterly, pulled his collar open, his thin body covered with bruises, and said,

"Well,

That's what it is.

When I drank too much, I became grumpy, and I didn't know where to offend her.

Even... Ay... ”

Mills looked at the bruises on Yudekaw's body with a suspicious look and asked,

"She did it?"

Yu Decao said helplessly,

"yes,

You know

As a gentleman, you don't hit a woman,

I can't think of anything other than hiding and being beaten.

The last time I was beaten, I was also beaten out of hallucinations. ”

Mills looked solemn and asked,

"What kind of hallucination?"

Yudkaw replied,

"Maybe it was because I hated it at the time.

So I hallucinated and saw a sea of blood, and a lot of bits and pieces of my body, which was not worth remembering. ”

Mills took a deep breath, seemed to have guessed something, and said,

"Dr. Yudkaw,

Keep an eye on your mental state, I don't want you to be a madman.

You are my loyal customer here and my friend,

Remember what I am saying now, and do not tempt the darkness. ”

As a person who has been in contact with the dark side of this world, Mills bitterly reminded Yudekaw in a more subtle way,

Apparently he didn't know what kind of evil was haunting him, and even caused him to hallucinate horribly.

Yudkaw looked at Mills and said thoughtfully,

"Mr. Mills, thank you for the reminder, I've been thinking about this as well,

Why do I seem to be seeing some incredible images lately that can't be explained by science?

I guess it might have something to do with my recent state of mind. ”

After a few glasses of dark beer, under the dual effect of caffeine and alcohol, Yudekaw began to get a little drunk.

Yudecao hiccuped and continued,

"Mr. Mills, please come with your ears."

The bartender saw that the two seemed to be whispering, so he very cleverly lifted the mop to mop the water from the other side of the gate.

"Mr. Mills,

I hope you can keep it a secret for me.

I'm sure you're a good listener,

At the same time, you may be able to give me some valuable advice on this matter. ”

Yudkaw said.

Mills nodded, indicating that he would keep it a secret, and motioned for Yudekau to continue.

"Do you remember the day when Pvent and I ordered pork knuckles here and drank quite a bit?

When I went back that day, I bumped into Eisen, and yes, it was Eisen from the slaughterhouse. ”

Yudekaw muttered to himself.

"I know that my pork knuckles here are all purchased from him, and he is a very good supplier of raw materials."

Mills responded.

"I heard something unusual in my house,

At first, I just thought that there might be a thief in the house, but you also know that security in the city of um has not been very good lately.

I hid in the darkness of the stairs, but I saw Eisen come out of my house, apparently having just finished making out with my wife.

My wife looked like a newlywed young woman in front of him.

The reluctance to send him out is similar to the cold perfunctory way I go out to work on weekdays.

Although there are my reasons here,

The work of getting up early and working late every day caused me to go home every day and not show any interest in her.

What's more, her current body shape and temper are like this.

But even if I read the Oriental picture album that Mr. Pvent gave me,

I still lost the man's reaction, I... Not anymore.

I hate myself, I hate Elena, I hate Eisen. ”

Yudeko's voice grew quieter and quieter, and he covered his face in his hands, and he continued,

"Mr. Mills,

The law does not punish them, and I have no power to punish them.

I faced the tall, muscular Eisen,

I'm afraid I don't even have the courage to resist.

I've thought about ending my life,

But while I was holding a scalpel to my own chest,

But I retreated.

Although I held my familiar scalpel,

The scalpel that cuts the incision in the patient's body every day,

But I can't do anything to myself. ”

By this time tears had flowed from the fingers of Yudekaw's hands,

The man who usually has no heart and lungs and shouts for another drink looks extremely vulnerable in the face of realistic frustrations.

"Come, my friend, I invite you to have a drink, all you need now is to get drunk and get a good night's sleep."

Mills poured a glass of Yudeko's favorite dark beer and placed it in front of Yudkaw.

Yudkaw picked up his beer and drank the whole glass with a clatter.

Mills didn't know what to say to comfort him when he saw this, so he could only refill it with a cup of tea.

When Yudekaw was a little drunk, Mills said,

"I see you went out without an umbrella, and now it's not a way to let you go back in the rain.

Let's go, follow me upstairs, and I'll spend the night tonight. ”

Mills stepped out from behind the bar and put his arm around Yudkaw;

At this time, an Oriental picture album fell out of Dr. Yudkaw's pocket.

The spine is up, and the inside page is down, spread out on the floor.

A rotten drunkard who was sitting in the corner of the bar saw the moment the album fell.

Under the influence of gravity, some of the pictures in the album were seen by the rotten drunkard.

The blurry picture is connected into a scarlet.

"Yellow! Yellow coats! Yellow coats! Ahhhh!!!!!h ”

"Pister, let him be quiet."

Mills said,

He pinched the spine of the book casually, picked up the picture book, and helped Youde to the lounge on the second floor of the bar disapprovingly.

That's where Mills and the bartender live every day,

In addition to stocking some materials for the bar's operation, there are also several rooms available for temporary stays.

Mills placed Youdecao in a small, uninhabited room deep in the hallway, with some miscellaneous items and a folding bed.

First he sat out of the hallway with the drunken Yudekaw, and then skillfully opened the folding bed and covered it with a soft mattress and quilt. From those skillful movements, it is not difficult to see that it is not the first time that Mills has arranged for those friends who have drunk too much.

"Maybe not as comfortable as the big bed at home, but it's better than the wet and cold slate outside, and I hope you don't mind, my friend."

Mills whispered, placing Yudekow on the folding bed.

The picture book he had picked up earlier was also casually placed next to Yudkaw's bed.

Mills is not in the habit of peeping into other people's privacy.

And this habit has now saved Mills's life, unbeknownst to him, of course.

Hearing that Yudecao was already asleep in bed, Mills softly exited the room and closed the door.

Outside the door, you can clearly hear the snoring sound one after another, obviously asleep.

Mills went downstairs with peace of mind.

"Pitter, what about the drunkard?" Mills asked the bartender Pist.

Pitter's face was full of horror,

"Mr. Mills, before I could get past him, he suddenly stopped calling. I went over and gave it a gentle push, and he actually fell to the ground like that, he... He's dead! I didn't do anything! I was wronged! I'm not going to kill! ”

Mills was obviously shocked by the current situation, and said,

"Call for the vigilantes! Fast!! ”

After about half an hour, the vigilantes arrived at the Black Pepper Bar.

The captain looked at the mark in front of the door with a solemn face, and called out to his subordinates to push the door open.

"I'm Chobutron, the captain of the sixth detachment of the security team of the city of umr. G. Rosart. I need to see the person in charge here. ”

It was a man in a black leather coat with a sharp sword pinned to his waist, and his gray-white hair covered by a military cap.

Excellent fighting skills and skillful reasoning skills make his subordinates unconditionally believe in the orders he gives,

The efficient and rigorous style of doing things and the more peaceful and gentle way of dealing with the world on weekdays have formed a unique personality charm.

His eyes are like blades, like blades, like the fierce lone wolf, as if he can see the weaknesses in people's hearts,

The people of the city of Umur call him the Wolf of Umur.

Generally, life disputes are handled by the detachments of Sequence 1 to Sequence 5.

only when it comes to homicides,

The sixth detachment of the security team will be dispatched.

"I'm Mills. J. Monch, the owner of the Black Pepper Bar, reported the sudden death of one of our guests, in the presence of Pitter Lombottom, my bartender, as a witness. We will cooperate with you in completing all investigations. ”

Mills had heard of Jobbuterrand, so he responded respectfully.

Mills also very much hopes that this is just an ordinary accident, the Black Pepper Bar has managed to get to its current status and reputation, and once its reputation is ruined, it should lose a lot.

"Tristne, go see the dead, I want to speak with this Mr. Mills."

Giobuterrand instructed Captain Tristhene to investigate and secure the scene of the death.

Tristhene replied and cast a look of pity at Mills, and Giobuterrand continued to face Mills,

"Mr. Mills, is there a place to speak?"

Mills scratched his head, feeling a little confused, and responded,

"The upstairs rooms are currently occupied by guests, why don't you come with me to my room?"

Closed the wooden door,

Jobhuterron pulled Mills by the collar and pushed Mills against the wooden door,

Vicious eyes stared at Mills' face, lest he miss every subtle expression.
