Chapter 12: Benjamin and Grant
In just a split second, Gu Bei imagined countless things that might happen next. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It could be that the strange man was frightened and turned around and ran, or it could be that the other party swung a dagger at him and he fought hand-to-hand with the other party, or if he was lucky, it could be that other people in the family rushed in and subdued the strange man directly......
Looking at the bright blade, Gu Bei also understood the intention of this person to sneak in.
Is ill-intentioned more than ill-intentioned?
Murder and arson are pretty much the same!
In this brief moment like freezing, Gu Bei's mind suddenly spun rapidly. What should I do? Fight with him? Forget it, with this small body that I have crossed over, just facing it is tantamount to suicide.
Seems to be a feasible solution, at least better than smashing the opponent with a water balloon, but I don't know how efficient the guards around here are, and whether they can be rescued in time......
However, just as he was about to cry out for help, the stranger with the dagger did something completely beyond his imagination.
The other party replied to Gu Bei's words.
"No, I slept well and didn't like to walk. This is not a fruit knife, this is a dagger. I haven't used it to cut fruit, and it should be inconvenient to cut fruit with it. ”
“......”
What do you want, what do you want?
Is this person talking to him? Would you like to discuss with him which fruit knife is better?
Gu Bei was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Then why didn't you sleep at night and come here?"
It was the system, which was asked in Gu Bei's mind. Gu Bei, who was stunned for a while, didn't react, and subconsciously spoke out, asking the strange man in reality.
The strange man's answer was crisp and direct:
"I'm an Assassin, and Assassins only come out at night to kill. ”
“......”
Gu Bei was choked by the other party's words again.
Yes, it is true that the assassins all came out at night to kill. You have a point, I choose death.
"Ah, he's so good, I like this kind of simple and straightforward person the most!" The system suddenly popped up, and the unexplained exclamation made Gu Bei want to vomit blood, and he couldn't wait to start 360 and forcibly uninstall it.
Gu Bei felt that the current situation was a little weird, Bai Huahua's dagger was still aimed at him, although the other party was not ready to make a move for the time being, but what would happen next, who knows? The other party's brain circuit is obviously not something that ordinary people can understand.
What now? Look at the look in the look of the Mr. Assassin, it seems to ...... Waiting for yourself to pick up on the topic?
In order to prevent the other party from starting immediately after the cold scene, he could only talk hard:
"That'...... Who are you going to kill?"
As soon as the words came out, Gu Bei suddenly wanted to kill himself.
His ability to find words without words is also rotten to a state.
If the other person then answers, "I'm here to kill you." He can only say, "Then why don't you do it?" and then the other person will definitely say, "Oh, then I'll do it." So there was a burst of swords and swords, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, please ask the hero to come again.
Once again, Gu Bei found that his ability to play tricks was really a perfect score.
He was ready to call for help again.
However, he should have realized that the Mister Assassin's answer was something he would never have expected.
"I'm here to kill Benjamin Reese. ”
Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, and the "help" that rushed to his mouth was swallowed back again.
Benjamin Reese......
Who is it?
At this moment, he suddenly found that the whole incident had once again taken a big turn, and began to develop in a direction that he knew nothing about.
"I'm not Benjamin Reese, I'm Grant Reese. Gu Bei was puzzled and replied with some caution.
Hearing this, the Assassin also seemed to be a little confused. He put down his hand holding the dagger aloft, furrowed his eyebrows, scratched his head with his other hand, and looked at the ceiling, looking like the "Teacher's Table" was halfway stuck in his back.
Gu Bei felt very weird and confused, so he didn't speak, just looked at each other in a daze.
The other party thought for a while, and finally, put down the hand that was scratching his head, and said:
"Oh, I'm sorry, I seem to have gone wrong. ”
“......”
What the heck?
At that moment, Gu Beidu began to suspect that he hadn't actually had insomnia, he had fallen asleep, and everything in front of him was just a dream? If it was really a dream, then this was definitely the most absurd dream he had ever had, even more nonsense than his boss's "Balala energy"!
God, or some other god, why the hell are you playing with me?
"Do you know which room Benjamin Grant is?"
Mr. Assassin asked sincerely.
“...... I don't know. ”
"Well, I'm leaving. Sorry, goodbye. ”
“...... Bon voyage. ”
The assassin put away the dagger, waved his hand at Gu Bei, turned around, and left the room.
He's gone.
He went softly, just as he came gently.
Although there were no sleeves to wave, it was clear from his crooked eyes that there must have been a simple and sincere smile under the mask when he said goodbye. Not to mention that he also closed the door with his hands......
Gu Bei only felt that there were too many slots, and he didn't know where to vomit.
"Ah, what a good guy he is. The system said.
“...... You can go to be his system. Gu Bei said.
Seriously, if this Mr. Assassin and the snake spirit system could talk, the two would be a good match.
"No, this man's IQ is still not good, and he can't even figure out who he wants to assassinate. When his system, that's not a waste of my talent. ”
Gu Bei didn't really want to pay attention to the system that continued to develop diseases.
Coming out of that ridiculous feeling, he suddenly felt a little more worried. Although it seems that the inexplicable danger has passed, but there are assassins here, although this assassin is not very reliable, but should he act as if nothing happened?
And what about the guy named "Benjamin Reese"? As you can tell from his last name, this guy is not a cat or a dog. What if the Assassin did find the right way to kill someone?
"We've got to stop him. ”
Thinking of this, Gu Bei suddenly said to the system.
"He's gone, in fact, you really don't need to get up on your own and make trouble for yourself. The system advised.
"It's not me who causes trouble for myself, what if he does kill the guy named 'Benjamin Reese'? I can't pretend I don't know anything. Gu Bei explained, "If someone dies in the family, they will definitely investigate carefully." If they found out that the Assassins had come to me, then I wouldn't have jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash myself. ”
Therefore, although he had just arrived at the Reeser family and didn't want to cause more trouble, he could only meddle in his affairs.
What's more, under normal circumstances, isn't it a normal reaction to find an assassin and call everyone up? You can't just because this assassin is not normal, and you force yourself to talk to yourself for a while, and then you will become abnormal!
"You don't have to worry about that, no one else will be killed by him. The system is unusually sure.
"Why, how can you be sure?" Gu Bei frowned.
"Because you are Benjamin Reese, he wants to kill you and kill you, how can he kill others. ”
"That's ...... too"
Because the system sounded very reasonable, Gu Bei nodded subconsciously.
However, he soon realized that something was wrong.
"What is this?When did I become Benjamin Reese, do you have Xiang in your hard drive?" Gu Bei was speechless.
The system paused for a moment and spoke, and his tone was filled with a sense of intellectual superiority:
"Trust me, you're Benjamin Reese. ”
Although Gu Bei didn't want to pay attention to it very much, it was not good not to say anything, so he still asked rhetorically: "If what you said is true, then why did Michelle say that I am Grant Reese?"
The system swears, "She got it wrong." ”
"Why are you so sure?"
"Just by the memory of the original owner of your body. ”
The system paused as ostentatiously, and then continued in a very determined tone: "According to memory, you are the eldest son in the family, and at the moment of your birth, your parents named you 'Benjamin', which means the most favored child. In the sixteen years you've been growing up, everyone has called you by that name, and you haven't changed your name, let alone used any other pseudonym or nickname. After all, you are Benjamin Reese, and you are the one the Assassin wants to kill. ”
“...... Are you sure?"
"Sure, surely, and surely. ”
“......”
Gu Bei was a little dumbfounded.
What's the matter? He thought he was Grant Reese by the name he had crossed over, and now he was told that he was Benjamin Reese? Those messy Western names are hard to remember, and he has a big head.
He didn't doubt the system anymore. After all, the system is so detailed, and with the memory of the original owner as a guarantee, even if it is not very reliable, it will definitely not make such a low-level mistake in this kind of thing.
He's really Benjamin Reese.
However, new questions arise: why did Michelle make her name Grant again? She is such a shrewd person that she can't get people's names wrong, right?
It's weird.
"Who is Grant Reese?" After thinking about it, his intuition made Gu Bei ask this question.
"That's your real brother. The system answers.
Hearing this, Gu Bei raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
And the system continues: "A year after you were born, your brother was also born, and your parents named him Grant Reese. You and your brother grew up together here, and the relationship is good. ”
Brother......
In Gu Bei's heart, he suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"Don't tell me that it's the kind of drama that is going on here with a genius brother who wastes firewood, and then I travel back to my brother. Gu Bei was a little uneasy, he had read a lot of novels with similar settings, so he had to pray that his crossing would not be so bloody.
"You're not hopelessly stupid. The system's voice was cheerful, "You guessed it right. On the day your brother was born, the light rose from the roofs of the House of Reese, ran through most of the royal capital, and fell on the fingertips of the idol in the center of the church square. Seven bells rang out from the cathedral in the early hours of the morning to signify the beginning of a new era. During the 100 days of baptism, your brother was found to have a high talent for divine arts, and was hailed as a future archbishop and even the successor of the Pope. ”
“...... What about me?" Gu Bei asked, holding on to that little hope that had not yet been dashed.
"During your 100-day baptism, you were found to have no talent for divine power, much to the disappointment of the entire family. Not only that, but in later years, you slowly showed your physical fragility, was riddled with diseases, and was thinner than your brother, who was a year younger than you, and even your hopes of becoming a knight were extinguished. Therefore, in the aristocratic circles of the royal capital, you have become the biggest laughing stock of the Reese family. "It's rare for the sound of the system to sound so objective and rigorous.
“......”
Gu Bei wanted to be killed by a headlong crash.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still quite helpless when he really heard the answer. Originally, listening to Michelle's words, he thought that the identity he had crossed over was some kind of genius, but he didn't expect that the world's malice towards him was still the same.
Brother Wastewood, who lives in the shadow of his genius brother, must not have a good time in this family. Especially listening to the introduction of the system, as the laughing stock of the family, my status may not be much better.
It is estimated that Michelle was also dazzled for a while, and he was kidnapped as his younger brother, which led to such an unwarranted disaster. This Benjamin Reeser himself is really unlucky. Of course, he was killed by Anne, and this bad luck was left to himself.
What about the bitterness that is said to be good?
However, Gu Bei did not let the disappointment linger for long.
"Forget it, whatever. ”
He's going to be a great magician, and to hell with his magical talent or something. As for the weakness of the body, since the formation of the triangle character of the world of consciousness, he felt that there was a moist breath that often moistened his body, and that breathless feeling was much better. So he doesn't have to worry about that. As for the contempt of others, let them despise it, and why care what those people think.
Waste wood is waste wood, which novel has the protagonist who is not waste wood?
Well...... Thinking about it this way, I am really optimistic enough.
Gu Bei found that he was indeed a little strangely optimistic. Perhaps due to the influence of the Mr. Assassin, his brain circuits had become abnormal, and in a moment, he had forgotten the effects of the bad news.
There was a sense of joy that hit my head.
...... Hi up?
"Don't be too optimistic, that assassin, what are you going to do?" the system once again activated the passive skill to pour cold water.
Oh......
It was the assassin who had come to kill him, not his happy little friend.
After calming down again, Gu Bei quickly realized the crisis. Although the other party is not a reliable guy, the existence of this assassin has proved the fact that someone wants to kill him.
Who will it be?
He is just a waste wood nobleman, with no status or ability, even if he will be looked down upon, no one will specifically want to kill him. On the contrary, it is the genius brother who is more likely to be targeted by people with a heart.
It's weird.
Who is it that would be so malicious to his family's laughing stock? He had to find out this person quickly. He didn't want to live in fear in the future, worrying about whether someone would stab him in the back at any time.
"That simplified version of the memory, you should get it out. Thinking of this, Gu Bei asked the system.
If you want to find out who is behind the scenes, you can only start from the memory of the original owner of this body.
Who has this Excellency Benjamin offended before? What are his enemies? Who would benefit the most if he died? Just find the answers to these questions. The man behind the assassin naturally came to light out.
"It's been sorted out. The system replied.
Hearing this, Gu Bei nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Let's get started. ”
It's time to turn yourself into Benjamin Reeser once and for all.
