After a long silence, Quinine Carrick got up and gently swung the muzzle of his gun.

"Let's go, go in and see, if what you're saying is true, it should be pretty important information to my employer, and if it's false, I promise, your head will be like a watermelon."

Li Tong got up and walked in front with his hands raised, his speed was quite slow, and he could even hear his own heartbeat.

"Well, you can actually put down the gun, that thing is not very reliable, and it is easy to misfire......"

A cold response from the bounty hunter was heard behind him.

"So you have to be honest, there's no way I can guarantee that this thing won't go off."

If it was just two swords, at least there was a glimmer of hope for resistance, but now it was a gun, right behind his back, Li Tong joked about loving his life, and he had no idea of resisting at all.

Walked to the desk and opened the middle drawer, carefully took out the diary inside, handed it to the back, the diary was taken away, and now I can only wait for the other party to finish reading the contents of the diary.

The room was silent, the pages turning from time to time, the minutes ticking, the clock ticking in the outroom, and the light streaming in through the curtains in the bedroom went from bright to dark to almost complete darkness.

Li Tong tried almost all the ways to escape during this time, until it was completely dark, and all the escape methods he thought of were eliminated from his mind because of various shortcomings.

The sound of the pages turning behind him was still intermittent, and his feet had lost sensation because he had not moved for a long time, so he was looking for an excuse to move.

"Well, Mr. Carrick, it's getting dark, and if you don't mind, I can light a candle for you to read, for now...... You can't see anything. ”

A deep voice echoed from behind.

"Just because you can't see it doesn't mean I can't see it, don't you understand the meaning of the words "gaining ability?"

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean I can't see it...... This sentence exploded in Li Tong's mind like a thunderbolt.

The other party collects research materials on mysterious powers for his employer, and must have been exposed to a lot of mysterious power materials, and awakened in the process of contact, and then gained the ability: night vision!

At this time, there was a loud sound of closing the diary behind him, and when the diary was finished, there was a crisp sound, which was the sound of the gun being unloaded, and the deep voice sounded again.

"Now I'm sure you didn't lie to me, turn around."

Li Tong breathed a long sigh of relief and turned around slowly, only the silhouette of the figure in front of him could be seen in the darkness, and the other party's action of putting away the firearm could be vaguely seen.

Now he only hoped that the other party would leave here quickly after learning the truth, but the next sentence made him understand that this was wishful thinking.

"Mr. Ronin Austin, you wouldn't mind having me for dinner."

The silhouette of the figure faded away and walked out through the bedroom door.

Li Tong got a temporary time to relax, quickly bent over and groped in the dark, touched the bed and sat down, massaging his thighs and feet.

But not too long, lest people outside the bedroom get impatient.

After regaining some sensation in his thighs and feet, he quickly got up and returned to the outside of the bedroom, the faint light of the remaining firefire preventing him from seeing anything.

Glancing at the bounty hunter who was already sitting by the fire, he cautiously walked over and picked up the half of the candle left on the desk, went around to the stove and bent down to light it.

The interior of the house is bright again.

Turning back to the desk from the detouring path and putting down the candle, Li Tong stared at the unsettling face in the candlelight and asked cautiously.

"Eat something, I've got potatoes and beef here, and bread."

Quinine Carrick was thinking about something, looking down at the fire.

"Whatever, just fill your stomach."

The most difficult thing in the world to figure out is "whatever", Li Tong hesitated for instructions.

"Steak and sautéed shredded potatoes?"

Quinin Carrick let out an "um" and looked up at the smiling young man.

"I don't have any research on what I eat, I don't know what you're talking about, just feel free."

Li Tong only remembered at this time that it was impossible for this old hat to know how to fry shredded potatoes and steak, and his stomach made a "cooing" sound at the right time.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you think it's delicious."

He took the potatoes and the rest of the beef from the cupboard, and brought the cauldron that had been used for the experiment to the stove and plucked up his courage.

"Well, Mr. Carrick, you wouldn't mind sitting at your desk."

Quinine Carrick paused for a moment, glanced at the ingredients in the young man's hand, and then got up and sat down at his desk.

Shredding the potatoes with a knife, soaking them in water, pouring vegetable oil into the already hot crucible, pouring the shredded potatoes into it and making a "hissing" sound, Li Tong deliberately glanced at the bounty hunter's reaction and began cooking after confirming that it was not misunderstood.

Soon a plate of shredded potatoes is baked, after pouring hot oil, the beef is fried and baked, and after a few moments, it is cut into two portions, and two pieces of bread are put on top.

All the ingredients are baked and placed on the desk, and this is the only place where you can eat.

Li Tong took out two wooden sticks used to replace chopsticks and put them in front of the other party, carefully sat opposite, and stretched out his hand to signal.

"Please dine."

Looking at the two sticks, Quinine Carrick frowned.

Li Tong reacted, immediately changed into the only set of knives, forks and cutlery, and took back the two wooden sticks.

Quinin Carrick first tried the shredded potatoes, the knife and fork were a bit clumsy in eating the shredded potatoes, and he struggled to pick up the shredded potatoes with his fork and put them in his mouth to chew, and after a moment his eyes showed an expression of disbelief.

"Your cooking is by far the best I've ever seen, and needless to say, I've never tasted anything so delicious."

Li Tong's tense nerves relaxed, signaled a smiling face, skillfully picked up the shredded potatoes with a wooden stick and put them in his mouth, tossing all day, almost hungry.

However, when he took the second bite, he saw the other party staring at the chopsticks in his hand, Li Tong immediately understood what was going on and explained casually.

"It's a piece of tableware that's designed to eat some thin strips of food, I call it "chopsticks", and it's a bit difficult to master, but it's more convenient to eat food after mastering it. ”

The next scene becomes very eerie, and the meal becomes a foil.

Quinine Carrick grabbed two sticks and learned the young man in front of him with difficulty, I have to say that this guy's hands-on ability is really a mess, and after a meal, he still can't explain the use of chopsticks.

Getting up and cleaning up the empty plates, Li Tong comforted the bounty hunter who was still unwilling and practiced hard with two sticks.

"Don't worry, you'll get it right after a few meals."

The two didn't notice that because of the episode of learning to use chopsticks, the atmosphere in the room was also subtly affected, and there was a lot of negotiation, and the strangeness and fear disappeared.

After the tableware was cleaned up and put away, Li Tong returned to the desk and sat down.

"Damn, if I had known you earlier, I would have been able to enjoy a few more meals of this delicacy."

Looking at the young man sitting in front of him, Quinin Carrick put the two sticks beside him, and after a few complaints, his face returned to seriousness.

"A failed magical ritual has allowed you to escape the aftermath of the curse, but that doesn't mean you haven't awakened,"

Li Tong was stunned, and the return to serious topics made him realize that he was currently in a rather dangerous situation, and the atmosphere instantly returned to tension.

"Hand out."

Quinine Carrick put one hand on the desk and hooked his fingers, his tone unmistakable.

Li Tong stretched out his hand helplessly and kept slandering.

"I knew I should have gotten some mashed potatoes."

Quinine Carrick rolled up the sleeves of the young man's shirt and rubbed his calloused hand against the black lines that appeared on his wrists like plant roots.

Then he pulled the sharp dagger from his belt, and the handle of the dagger was polished.

"Is this guy going to cut my wrists?"

As the saying goes: a rabbit bites even when it's in a hurry.

Li Tong's eyes widened, and he quickly got up to pull his wrist back.

"Don't move, if you don't want to die."

Quinin Carrick pressed his wrist tightly and raised his head, his eyes sharp like sharp blades, exuding a cold glow.

Li Tong felt a chill in his spine, his body was completely frozen, as if his body did not belong to him, and even the consciousness of resistance could not emerge from his mind, his mind was blank at this moment, he only felt that his lips were dry, he opened his mouth, and found that he couldn't make any sound, and his breathing stopped, as if he was going to suffocate.

Seeing the tip of the dagger gently pierce into his skin, a slight pain came over him, and his consciousness regained a little, but he was only able to breathe quickly.

The pierced wrist was reversed, and the punctured side was facing the table downwards, and the blood was dripping on the tabletop, slowly spreading out.

"If you continue like this, you will slowly run out of blood and die."

Such thoughts appeared in my mind, and the shadow of death slowly shrouded and diffused, but I could not give birth to the slightest courage and thought of resistance.

But it didn't take long for an amazing sight to behold.

The blood stained to the size of a palm, flickering with a faint red light, and the candlelight in the room was slowly replaced by this faint red light from the blood, until the candlelight disappeared completely.

At this moment, the room was blood-red, and the blood stains emitting a dim red light were like a mirror, and the picture appeared.

Blurred lines float on the bloodstained mirror, making it impossible to see what it is.

One thing is certain, though.

"The other party didn't want to bleed to death."

Li Tong's heart, which jumped to his throat, gradually regained its calmness, and the tense nerves slowly relaxed, staring at the pattern on the mirror formed by the blood in front of him.

"It's supposed to be some kind of magical ritual, but what does this magical ritual do, and what does he want to do?"

The blood light was filled, and as time passed, a faint voice appeared in my ears.

The faint voice gradually became clear and loud, melodious and tactful, relaxing and relaxing, with an indescribable comfort, but it was impossible to judge which direction it came from.

"It's chanting, and it's supposed to be one of the accompanying phenomena of magical rituals."

Until the pattern on the mirror surface of the blood stain in front of you becomes clear and stable, and completely emerges in front of you.

The two spoke in unison.

"How could it be ......"
