Chapter 353: The Last Meal
"Boss, what are you going to do?"
At this time, Jerry actually asked for the opinions of others unusually, and it should be said that judging by his previous behavior, it should be the correct response to ignore other people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And Jerry also noticed that some people who should have heard of his deeds, and the doubts and surprises on their faces at this moment were all captured by him.
"I was shocked that His Excellency Jerry would listen to me, an old man. ā
Quint also knows the name of the weird Jerry, it should be said that he is familiar with the demon hunting list and other high-level leaders who can't be provoked, these are all necessary skills to live in a disorderly town, otherwise it will be a big trouble if he provokes an existence that shouldn't be provoked one day?
But he shrugged his shoulders and responded to the other party indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just that I personally think that this play shouldn't be finished yet, so you can continue." ā
With that, he sat down in a chair and looked at Quint with a smile, as if to see how he was going to bring the whole drama to a close.
Is this really a weirdo, to see such a thing as a drama?
Everyone couldn't help but secretly scold this eccentric character, but when they thought about it, it seemed that they weren't the same?
Maybe these people who think they are more ordinary don't feel that there is anything wrong with their thoughts, and even normalize it, but don't other people think the same way?
Perhaps in the minds of the audience, the difference between saying it and hiding it in their hearts is so big that it separates them from the weirdo Jerry.
Hearing the other party's permission, he didn't say anything, just turned his head and continued to look at the group of people.
"Why, don't you all want my life? This is my life! I'll wait for you to take !!."
The voice was loud and loud, and his voice echoed throughout the restaurant, but at last it was those gasps that seemed to show the old man's old age.
"Hey...... I'm old, but I'm really grateful to Mr. Shi for your help, I would have died without your old man. ā
While speaking, the other party looked at a certain place with mocking eyes, and it was not difficult to guess that the other party should be looking at the church in the distance.
Oh, so it's not just they who want Quint to die......? Interesting.
"Okay, everyone, hurry up and finish today's meal, everyone, today is the last day of business at the Quint Restaurant, everything you ordered just now is free, please continue to be patient after enjoying the restaurant performance, we will serve all the food!"
As he spoke, he returned to the kitchen and talked leisurely before leaving.
"Hurry up and don't make guests wait too long!"
The words were completely different from the previous negative connotations of mystery and deception and even betrayal, as if those events had just been like a drama.
But the vast majority of the guests did not believe that what had just happened was fake, real, too real to be believed.
Everyone unexpectedly returned to their original positions, as if the show was really over, and they just had to wait for the food to be served again.
Just as Hong Qi shrugged his shoulders and was about to go back to wait for his meal, he was stopped by a voice.
"Excuse me, Mr. Sherlock, are you free now? I have some questions for you. ā
Hong Qi turned his head to look at the other party, and couldn't help but be annoyed by the other party's behavior.
Stupid fellow, although I was the last to see that someone was secretly guiding everything, you should have noticed it somewhat! Are you trying to drag me into the water?
No matter which way you look at it, the person who is really suspected of being a magician should be Mr. Shi, but if the other party's own magic knowledge field is also very broad, maybe there will be some doubts about whether Hong Qi is a magician.
Hong Qi didn't want to know what the other party wanted to do, and it should be said that he didn't want to meet this kind of guy who even wanted to achieve his goal by calculation, which seemed very dangerous to him.
After all, once you are found, it is also a passive situation.
Never mind...... I have something to do with him, anyway, as long as that guy is not deficient in IQ, he will probably suspect me, right?
"Come upstairs, I have a VIP room upstairs, I personally prefer a quiet place. ā
"Mr. Shi, you can go to the third floor, the third floor is quieter, both of you are my lifesavers, please don't refuse." ā
Quint appeared and said these words, and then he went back to the store again.
"This ...... Well, why don't we all go to the third floor?"
"Okay, wait a minute. ā
So Hong Qi and Cambe, the waiter, said that they would get their dishes to the third floor together, and at the same time ordered an extra one.
The reasoning of burning IQ just now made me want to eat penguins, and I had to have more natural food to be able to replenish it.
With this in mind, Hong Qi came to the third floor with Mr. Shi, and when he reached the second floor, he called the little black dog to go up together.
"I didn't expect Mr. Sherlock to have such a hobby and want to have a dog. ā
"Oh, no, he's my companion, and his name is Watson, a very heartfelt dog. ā
In this regard, the little black dog said that his face was full of question marks, when did he have a name like Watson.
Of course, he wouldn't behave like this in the face of outsiders, and under the usual teaching, Doug usually seems to be a little funny, but he will still be serious when he really needs to be serious, just like now, he didn't put on a puzzled expression but barked as a good dog.
"Mr. Shi, is there something that came to me in particular?"
Hong Qi asked the other party with a smile while enjoying the food brought to him.
"Mr. Sherlock, it's about your identity, and if I'm not mistaken, you should be a mage too, right?"
Magicians are called externally, and mages are used as a title to each other, which is a rather peculiar method of title in the Amun Dynasty.
"So what?"
"Okay! I'd like to ask you about ...... on drugs."
"Wait, I'm not going to tell you that, you know, knowledge is very precious to mages. ā
"I know this very well, that's good, why don't you teach me about medicine, and I'll ask Brother Yanyu to protect you, you should know? ā
Hearing what the other party said about the transaction, Hong Qi thought it was quite interesting.
"You say I'll teach you things and then you let someone else protect me?
The words were full of sarcasm, and the other party heard it.
"You don't need to, you know that these are not safe times, and you may face demon slayer knights and demon hunters at any time, aren't you afraid?"
The words were full of threats, but they sounded ridiculous to Hong Qi.
"No...... I don't need to, I'll give you a word of advice, there are some things that are better left untouched, or you might get targeted. ā
Too many tubes...... Don't?!
Hearing Hong Qi's reminder and the suspicions he already had about the incident just now, Mr. Shi finally thought of a result.
Someone is manipulating the whole case, and it's someone who wants to find the magician.
"Why is he so confident? The poison that those four people get can indeed kill anyone who is not at the level of a great sword master, but once these poisons are combined, there will be a reaction against each other, which will eventually make the reaction time of the poison greatly prolonged, and at the same time, the symptoms will also change from the destruction of the whole body to the destruction of consciousness and subsequent immunity. ā
Speaking of this, I really have to admire that person, in fact, he only knew about the possible toxins at the end.
Boss Quint himself seemed weak, and when Hong Qi looked closely, he realized that the old man was actually the only one because of the symptoms caused by poisoning, and these were the only ones that had to be integrated to succeed.
Thinking about it now, Hong Qi doubted whether the other party would predict or have relevant talents, otherwise how could he be sure that all this would happen?
You must know that everyone is indeed looking for a good time to start, perhaps because of the sudden increase in orders from Hongqi, they finally chose this time to be the best opportunity to release the poison.
If that's the case..... Then he should know that I exist, too.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, but Hong Qi felt that the person should have no intention of harming him, otherwise the other party would not have bothered to use such a way to fish out him and Mr. Shi.
"I don't care about that, but what about you, aren't you afraid?"
He also has the Smoke and Rain Thieves as a shelter, so he basically doesn't need to worry about whether the other party will attack him.
"I, if the other party really meets me, I guess he should be scared. ā
Jackson: Are you afraid? Are you afraid?
I'm not afraid that there is a former demigod as a backer, you should be scared, right?
Thinking like this, of course Hong Qi will not use them, in his opinion, these people can only achieve the role of deterrence at most, and it is still uncertain whether they will actually help.
"Let's just think about what you have that you can trade for, or if you're interested in joining me and the forces behind me, and think about it. ā
After the other party listened to what Hong Qi said, he walked downstairs without saying a word.
Tucker saw that Mr. Shi's face was not very good, so he stepped forward and asked with concern.
"What's wrong with Mr. Shi?"
"It's okay, it's just that I didn't meet something that made me very happy, let's continue eating, this is the last meal at the Quint Restaurant after all. ā
With that, everyone silently continued to eat lunch.
