Chapter 6 Rules of the Game
Quinin Carrick introduced himself briefly, and took out an oval badge from his waist and placed it on the table, on which was engraved a vertical sword, polished to a shiny size, and looked like it should be made of bronze.
"Someone paid me to track something that had something to do with this hide."
There was a pause.
"The animal skin you see now is not just a animal skin, it contains some secrets that can make people go crazy, lose their minds, like beasts and monsters, Rensad went crazy because of the contents of this animal skin, lost his mind, and then killed the dead on the ground, and now he is gone, what does it mean?"
Li Tong felt that at this time, out of politeness, he should pick up the conversation.
"What does that mean?"
Quinine Carrickten leaned forward, leaned his head closer, and lowered his voice as if he wanted to tell some unspeakable secret.
"It means that this town is no longer safe at night, and the mad Renzaard will appear at any time at night, and then kill some of the inhabitants of this place, until everyone here is killed, including you, you must not want to live in great danger, right, so this crisis must be resolved."
There is no hope of leaving here for the time being, and you have to stay here for a while, Rensad is indeed a threat, and the other party is right.
Li Tong looked at the angular face in front of him and tilted his head back to keep a distance, of course, it was not because he was afraid, he already knew the identity of the other party at this time, he was not a murderer, just a bounty hunter who took money to do things, but because the other party was ...... Halitosis!
"How long has this guy not brushed his teeth......"
After keeping a distance, he looked at the guy in front of him with a skeptical attitude.
Quinine Carrick was obviously ignorant of his bad breath, and his expression was earnest, and his tone was no longer tough, but much more relaxed.
"So you have to help me, provide all the true information you know, and when you find him, I'll help you out of the crisis, and then I'll leave here as if nothing had happened."
Li Tong is funny, this guy is both soft and hard, at the beginning of the meeting, he deliberately put on a murderous appearance and tortured without blinking, but after it didn't work, he changed his strategy and moved him with emotion and reason.
But after knowing the true purpose of the other party, he can't reveal his identity, the bounty hunter clearly said that what he was entrusted to investigate was related to the animal skin, to be precise, the mysterious power on the animal skin, not out of humanitarianism, carry forward the spirit of "I don't go to hell, who will go to hell" to solve the mad Rensad, but to find the relevant information of the mysterious power from Rensad.
Once the identity is confessed, the bounty hunter will definitely give up on Renzade, change the target to himself, and maybe kill people, anyway, there is no law enforcement agency in this world to uphold justice, and the profession of bounty hunter is not trustworthy in the film and television works of the previous life.
He was apologetic at this point.
"I'm sorry, but I really don't know anything about it, although I'd love to help you."
There was a pause.
"If it's okay, I guess I can leave now, right?"
Quinin Carrick stared at the young man in front of him for a long time and nodded.
Leaving the house, Li Tong walked very calmly, stepping on the snow step by step, as if nothing had happened, but his heart was magnificent.
"Slow down, slow down, this guy must be secretly watching from the window, if he panics, he will definitely be noticed by the other party."
I walked all the way to my door, and deliberately stopped and looked back into the street before pushing the door in.
As he entered, his back against the door, gasping for air, he found that his back was completely soaked with sweat.
After calming down a bit, he leaned on the window, looked at the cabin opposite Lenzard through the gap in the curtains, stared at it for a long time, and the bounty hunter came out of it, and his next move made Li Tong almost suffocate.
Bounty hunters with two long swords on their backs began to knock on doors one by one along the streets.
The other party gave up waiting for the rabbit and began to take the initiative.
As this continued, the bounty hunter soon became aware of his intimate relationship with Rensad, and Lady Yennifo had said that only she and Rensad had the closest relationship, and most of the people in town should know about it.
After looking through the window for a while, Li Tong straightened up.
"If it goes on like this, it will be exposed sooner or later, and you can't hide it, since it's better to face it directly, it's better to confess yourself than to come to the door."
Life and death are downbeat, and if you don't accept it, you will do it!
Holding back a reckless spirit, he opened the door and walked out.
Walking steadily, he walked through the snow behind the bounty hunter who was knocking on the door from house to house.
"Don't you want to know about Rensad? I know him well. ”
The bounty hunter who turned back looked in surprise at the young man behind him who was holding his chest like a big rooster, obviously also a little confused, and his expression was stunned.
I was stunned for a long time before I came back to my senses.
"You mean ......"
Li Tong interrupted directly.
"That's right, I know him well, and no one in this town knows him better than I do, come with me."
……
Make the stove in the house hot enough, and the house is warm like spring at the moment, even a little overheated.
Li Tong sat at the desk and looked at the bounty hunter sitting opposite, looking at the other party's eagle-like eyes, at this time he suddenly found that the previous recklessness was gone, like a balloon was deflated.
He suddenly understood a word.
"There are some things that you have to do when you are hot-headed, and once you calm down, you lose your courage."
Pursed his lips.
"Well, let's ...... Let's talk about the conditions first, and you have to make sure that I won't be in danger in the future. ”
A smile slowly appeared on Quinin Carrick's originally serious face, a little helpless smile, and he shook his head.
"I didn't intend to hurt any normal person from the beginning, and if some of my previous actions made you think I had murderous tendencies, I apologize to you and solemnly promise that we will talk like old friends."
He reached out and pulled out two swords and handed them over, spreading his hands.
Li Tong looked at the two swords that had been placed in front of him, and smiled helplessly, now as long as he stretched out his hand, he could get the two swords before the other party made a move.
"Did you really misunderstand this guy in the first place?"
Returning to his senses, his gaze fell on the other person's face again.
"I know him very well, we have studied the contents of the slate together, and I know the dead man in Rensad's room, a member of the Order Church, and the first person he looked for when he arrived here was me, and I sent him to Rensad."
The bounty hunter was stunned for a long time, and his eyebrows twisted, looking incredulous.
"You're saying you've studied the contents of the slate as well?"
Li Tong nodded.
"That's right, I've studied the slate."
The bounty hunter stared at the young man in front of him, his expression a little complicated, and he was silent for a long time before speaking.
"You study the contents of the tablet together, and now that your companion Lenzard has fallen into madness, and you have no problems, so you are luckier than your companion and have awakened, what is the ability you have acquired?"
He was indeed luckier than Renzad, because the magic ritual avoided the curse, but ......
Acquired abilities? Li Tong looked puzzled and incomprehensible.
The bounty hunter didn't get the answer he wanted for a long time, and a hand reached into his arms, and then quickly drew it, holding a pistol in his hand, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was aimed at the young man in front of him.
"What are your abilities when you wake up?" As he spoke, his thumb moved on the spring, making a crisp sound, which was the action of loading.
I never thought that the two swords were just a disguise, the real killing move turned out to be a gun, there were already guns in this era, Li Tong couldn't think of it even if he wanted to break his head, his eyes widened, he lay quietly on the chair, his hands tightly grasped the armrests of the chair, staring at the black muzzle, his heart was magnificent.
Nima...... Groove ...... What about playing with me, how can there be a gun, this grandson is really special, just now I said like an old friend, I'll go to your grandmother's old friend, this is cheating, hanging, Lao Tzu is not convinced, I want to report you for breaking the rules of the game...... I curse you for not having a baby......"
But it's not a game, it's life!
Holding back his dissatisfaction, he smiled harmlessly and sincerely.
"I swear, I don't know what you say again, what abilities do you gain?"
Quinine Carrick smiled playfully, and the fingers that pulled the trigger began to press, and the sound of the trigger being pulled slowly could be heard.
"You and your companions studied the contents of the slate, and wanted to obtain the mysterious power on the slate, and now you have awakened, which means that you have studied it quite thoroughly, but you say you don't know what I'm talking about, who will believe it?"
The other party is right, and anyone else will think that this answer is a lie.
From the words of the other party, it can be understood that the acquisition of power is a benefit after "awakening".
But the so-called "awakening" phenomenon in his body is not due to mastering the mysterious power of the slate, but caused by crossing, and he has not obtained any special abilities, at least not yet.
As it stands, the fact that he came from another world must not be revealed to the cunning and cunning bounty hunter, otherwise he doesn't know what to do with him next, but he needs a convincing statement to save his life.
Li Tong's thinking turned quickly, and he soon had an idea, crying with a sad face.
"Rensad and I were plagued by the aftermath of studying mystical powers, so we decided to take a gamble and use a magical ritual to travel out of this world, uh, unfortunately the ritual failed, I'm still here, but I found that my after-effects are all gone, that's it, it's true, so although I have signs of "awakening", I haven't actually awakened, and I don't have the ability you said. ”
The bounty hunter had an idiot-like expression and a playful smile, as if to say, "Make up, make up, make ......"
Of course, Li Tong has a way to make the other party believe. Because what was just said was all true, but it only hid the fact that Ronin Austin was dead.
After a pause, his smile still genuinely harmless, he pointed to the door that led to the bedroom behind him.
"I have proof, as long as you allow me to take something, the truth will be revealed."
