Chapter 281: Arrogant Invitation
The next day, early in the morning, Dean was woken up by the ringing of the phone.
He picked up his phone and looked at it, and found that it was actually a call from his mother, Sheila.
"Mom, you're up early."
Dean said in a lazy voice lying on the bed.
"I didn't want to wake up so early, but I didn't expect you to be such a person, Dean!"
On the other end of the phone, Sheila's voice was unkind.
This left Dean a little confused.
What's the matter.
I was a bad police detective, and my mother found out?
Don't wait for Dean to ask.
The mother, Sheila, uttered a series of questions: "If it wasn't for Neil coming home, how long would you want to hide it from me?" ”
"Huh?"
Dean was stunned: "Mom, you mean that Neil is in our house now?" ”
"Yes, I saw her car parked outside our house for several days in a row, this stupid girl squatted in the car for several days, what did you do to hurt the other party?"
】
Dean: "..."
How do I know what's going on?
I just talked to Joss about Neil yesterday.
As a result, Neil showed up at her mother's house today.
This stupid guy didn't want to come suddenly and surprise himself, but he found out that he wasn't in the rental house at all, so he stupidly wanted to rely on the address he left for his mother before and squat to himself, right?
Not to mention, Neil, who is in love with brains, is really likely to do this kind of thing!
Thinking of this, Dean was speechless: "Mom, don't be so excited, is Neil by your side?" By the way, how do I hear the ambulance? ”
Los Angeles.
Dean's mother, Sheila, looked at the oncoming ambulance, and then at Neil, who was sitting on the grass, looking embarrassed, and covering her arms with a bitter face, and said with some smuggling: "She is a little inconvenient to answer the phone, you will call her later!" In short, Neil is a good girl, and you must not let her down! ”
After speaking.
She hung up.
Damn it.
After knowing that Neil was Dean's little girlfriend and didn't know about Dean's transfer out of Los Angeles, she couldn't wait to call Xingshi to ask for the crime, but forgot that she thought Neil was the bad guy who was spying on her family, and sneaked over, and when Neil got out of the car, she came to a ruthless...
O iniquity!
Fortunately, I didn't pull out my gun directly.
Sheila never doubted Dean's attraction to women.
But she was very suspicious of what kind of unbearable image she was in Neil's poor little heart...
..
Hearing the busy tone of Dudu coming from the phone, Dean put away the phone with a puzzled face.
Why is it inconvenient for Neil to answer the phone?
And on the phone, what the hell is it to hear the horn of an ambulance getting closer and closer?
Dean shook his head.
Never mind.
Now that my mother already knows about Neil's existence, she should help herself take care of Neil.
It can't be...
The ambulance on the other end of the phone is here for Neil, right?
However, Neil's sudden arrival at his home also reminded Dean that he had not yet told Neil about his departure from Los Angeles because of trivial matters.
During this time, I was a little cold to the other party.
...
Nine a.m.
Dean and Chesston with heavy dark circles under their eyes arrive at the hotel's restaurant to prepare for a complimentary breakfast.
That's when it happened.
The lobby manager of the hotel lobby leaned over and said politely, "Is it Mr. Dean and Mr. Cheston Earn, please?" ”
"Yes, something?"
Dean looked at the other person quizzically.
When he checked into the hotel, he paid for it at his own expense and didn't reveal his identity.
The lobby manager smiled and took out a brown letter from his pocket: "This is the letter that your friend entrusted me to give to you, and he asked you to find a place where no one is there to read again." ”
"Sorry, I'm in Las Vegas, no friends, and we don't accept this letter if you can't provide more information!"
Dean stopped Cheston Earn, who wanted to pick up the letter, and said in a serious tone.
He didn't see anything unusual in the lobby manager, though.
But they have just cracked a case involving the Lucifer Game Organization, and the possibility of the other party using some underhanded means to assassinate them cannot be ruled out!
The lobby manager didn't expect Dean to react in this way.
He held up the letter and froze in place for a few seconds before he was suddenly surprised, adding, "I'm sorry, I forgot, your friend, and let me say a secret word between your friends." ”
said.
The lobby manager held up his plump little belly, and said in a tone that imitated the other party as much as possible: "All those who are chosen by fate can only gain the favor of the goddess if they choose to embrace fate... And the blasphemer, only by pleasing the goddess, can he be forgiven. ”
"Ahem~"
"Guests, I'm done, if you still don't want this letter, I'll throw it back to the front desk."
After listening to what the lobby manager said.
Dean and Cheston looked at each other, and at the same time saw the meaning in each other's eyes: inexplicable!
What fate chosen... Desecrate.. Pleasing the goddess...
Shouldn't this kind of godly chattering, middle two and mentally abnormal lines appear in an anime in an island country, or in some third-rate scripts?
Ultimately.
Out of curiosity and certain scruples.
Dean still had Chestonn put on gloves and took the letter.
The two of them were also in the mood to eat breakfast, so they took the elevator again and returned to their rooms.
...
"Agent Dean, this letter is not thick to the touch, it is unlikely that it is hiding dangerous goods, let me see what is inside!"
After a brief inspection of the letter's appearance, Chesston put on gloves and was about to open the envelope.
Dean hurriedly pulled a plastic bag from the side and threw it over:
"Some killers like to smear certain chemical toxins on inconspicuous things, with the help of friction and some small means to trigger, so that the toxins on them volatilize and poison the targets at close range.
Although I don't think that a small character like us deserves to be treated by a killer in this way, be careful, it's always right! ”
Cheston shrugged, "You're the boss, listen to you." ”
Place the palm of the hand holding the envelope and cover it with a plastic bag.
With a slight force, Chestonn tore open the envelope.
Inside the envelope, there was actually a black paper with no visible material!
To be exact.
It's an invitation!
On the black paper, there are gold stripes and silver lettering.
The golden stripes form a strange eye symbol, which is the symbol of Lucifer's game organization!
Silver font, arrogant direct:
Invite Mr. Dean and Mr. Chesston to participate in a fun outdoor game on September 9, 2001.
Reject it, die!
Leaker, die!
This!
!
Cheston, Tong Kong contracted violently, holding the palm of the envelope, subconsciously about to throw away the envelope in his hand, and suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly looked at Dean who was expressionless beside him: "Agent Dean, this... It seems like a threatening letter. ”
Dean took a deep breath and snatched the plastic bag and the letters from Cheston's hand.
Outdoor play?
Hehe.
He had a hunch that this so-called game might be the battle royale mentioned in the clues left by the murderer before!
Crashed into the Lucifer Game Organization again and again.
It seems that this time, I can't escape on the bright side!
...
Chesston, seeing Dean get the invitation full of naked threats, was silent, and couldn't help but speak: "Agent Dean, do you know this thing?" ”
Dean glanced at him and said, "Cheston Hen, your acting skills still need to be honed." ”
After speaking.
Dean casually threw the invitation into the trash can beside him.
The Lucifer Games organization rarely fights to investigate, sabotage, and arrest their game members in retaliation.
But he passively ran into the Lucifer organization again and again.
Dean had a premonition that that that group of people would do it to himself again on the bright side.
Your own subspace is going to come in handy this time!
Cheston was a little overwhelmed by Dean's cover-up, and he didn't stand still, wanting to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
Until the door opened.
He woke up from a dream and rushed to the door: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it, this is.."
"Void!"
Dean held out a finger to his lips:
"Cheston, I already know from your reaction!
The first time we met, you followed Mr. Anthony and participated in the room game organized by Lucifer Games, and you were very active.
When you report the clues this time, your emotions are also obviously wrong.
I saw in your eyes your disgust and fear of that symbol.
You want to take revenge on the other person.
But in his heart he is afraid of each other.
So, that's why you chose to follow me? ”
Cheston sighed and lowered his head: "Agent Dean, you are really scary, this may be the reason why Mr. Anthony chose you in the end..."
