"I said, no, please leave immediately!"

At this moment, Lawrence's eyes looking at Natsuki finally changed, and the momentum of the whole person increased, and his gaze became sharp.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Lawrence, I didn't lie to you, as long as your wife still has a breath, I will be able to revive her and cure her!"

Natsuki didn't care about Lawrence's change, he spoke again to emphasize, and added an accent to the word "one breath", he didn't believe that any husband who loved his wife deeply was unwilling to grasp this last straw.

Come on, he's been bragging about this, and he's been showing his abilities, and if Lawrence continues to insist on driving him away, then most of his guesses are true.

“……”

Hearing his words, Lawrence suddenly fell silent, staring at him with a pair of eyes that showed hesitation.

It could be seen that the old gentleman was trying his best to restrain his emotions, and his body trembled slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Give me your dagger."

In a moment, Lawrence reached out and asked Natsuki for a dagger, and his tone seemed unmistakable with a slight command.

"Hehe......"

Natsuki understood what the guy was trying to do, so he shrugged his shoulders and handed the dagger over with a smile.

Hmmm-

After getting the dagger, Lawrence did not hesitate at all, and stabbed his arm in the same way as Natsuki did before.

In the next second, traces of blood began to pour out of the wound, more and more, and his brow furrowed slightly.

The knife is a real knife, and the injury is also a real injury, and there is no way to fake this.

"Come, heal me, and I'll trust you."

Lawrence endured the pain and lifted his arm up in front of Natsuki.

"No problem, you're cautious, that's right."

Natsuki smiled and complimented, then raised his hand, holding Chunjing with one hand and hanging above the other hand's wound.

Soon, the same emerald green light appeared as before, enveloping the wound, and the wound began to heal slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hmmm......"

Feeling the gentleness coming from his arm, and seeing the wound finally disappear, Lawrence was sure that what the young man said was true.

"Well, I'll promise you on the condition that you can actually do what you say."

After pondering for a while, Lawrence nodded slowly, and at the same time reached out and touched the location of his wound, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"Of course, since I said it, then I will definitely do it, you can rest assured of that."

For the characters in the foolish secret realm, Xia Mu has long been familiar with the road, and the sincerity on his face at this time does not show that there is any element of lying.

"Okay, I'll close the shop and take you up, please wait a minute......"

Lawrence didn't say anything more, just left the counter, pulled the roller shutter door down the outside of the store, and locked the glass door as well.

Seeing this, Xia Mu's eyes suddenly moved, and an inexplicable look appeared on his face, and then he showed a faint smile.

"You also know that in this world, if I just lock the door of the store and go up, there may be nothing in the store when I come back."

After doing this, Lawrence explained with his back to Natsuki, then slowly turned around and beckoned to Natsuki.

"Come with me, my house is upstairs."

With that, he walked past Natsuki and opened the wooden door behind the counter, leading the way inside.

After entering the door, Natsuki scanned around as fast as he could, and found that there was nothing special behind it.

Very typical old European style decoration, some years but fairly clean wooden floors, patterned wallpaper walls hung with all kinds of delicate clocks, a white wooden staircase leading straight upstairs, old and a touch of style.

Crunch, crunch, crunch......

Knock, knock, knock......

The wooden staircase is obviously a bit old, and it makes a screeching noise when stepped on, and needs to be repaired.

But Natsuki didn't care, his attention was always on Lawrence in front of him, constantly looking at the other party's back.

Although he is over seventy years old this year, Lawrence's body looks very good, and his eyes should be very good, which can be regarded as a good resistance to the erosion of time.

But no matter what, this guy is already an old man, so what is he going to do with himself without knowing the existence of the "dark virus"?

That's right, by now Natsuki was sure that Lawrence had murderous intentions on him and was planning to kill him.

And to confirm his own ability is not to confirm whether he can really cure his wife, but to confirm whether he will doubt him.

The same is true for the rolling shutter door after this, how can anyone dare to break down the door and loot it in this broad daylight? That's to prevent yourself from escaping.

Moreover, after entering the door just now, Natsuki heard a small sound coming from the wall, and although it was muffled by the sound of the clock moving on the wall, it could not escape his ears.

A simple automatic door lock mechanism is not a problem for a legendary watchmaker, it can even be said to be a breeze.

And in that case...... Is there something waiting for you on this?

As soon as he entered the door, Natsuki used the [Life Sense] of the [Healing Witch] to sense the entire house.

Unfortunately, there is no life in the house other than herself and Lawrence, which means that Monica is not here.

It wasn't clear where Lawrence's home was.

And now that this guy has brought himself here on the pretext of taking himself to his wife's medical treatment, the situation is naturally clear.

"Mr. Lawrence, how did your wife die? Can you tell me? ”

When he went up to the second floor and saw Lawrence about to open one of the doors, Natsuki suddenly had a showdown and blurted out directly.

Now, there is no point in pretending to be any longer, and he can already be sure that Lawrence is the [Virus Core] in this secret realm.

But he still wants to figure out the whole story, because digging out all the truths in the secret realm and releasing the will and emotions of the strange tale can effectively weaken the strange tale ontology that appears later.

Although he has now regained his magic power and unlocked the memory seal, Natsuki is still unaware of the power of magic in the secret realm.

Therefore, it is better to be cautious, everything is done step by step, and not to learn from those reckless [executioners] to violently break the picture.

“…… You know it all? ”

Unexpectedly, Lawrence, who heard this, was not very excited, but was very calm, and there was no fluctuation in his tone.

"Almost, I can confirm that your wife is dead, and you want to kill me now, that is...... Your wife was killed by you? ”

Natsuki shrugged and continued to speculate.

“…… You are very smart. ”

By this time, Lawrence had already grasped the doorknob, and with a strong twist, the door of the room opened with a "click".

Squeak~

Looking over Lawrence's shoulder, Natsuki could see a clean bedroom, and there was no trace of any mechanism in it, everything was ordinary.

Of course, if there were, he wouldn't have been able to see it at all.

"Come in, this is Monica's room for me, of course...... Now it's just me. ”

Lawrence said, beckoning to Natsuki, and then walked in on his own, as he continued.

"Sir, I don't know if you're a police officer, or an investigative bureau, or some other mysterious organization, but to be honest, you've shown more than I ever imagined.

I don't know if you have any other abilities, and I don't know if I'll be able to kill you, and I'll admit that I did want to give it a try, but now it seems ...... I had no choice but to give up. ”

Lawrence sat down on the bed, a deep bitterness on his face.

"I can see that your purpose is not to have a pocket watch, nor is it just to solve a case and catch a murderer, right?

Otherwise, you would have subdued me from behind when you went upstairs just now, but instead of doing that, you chose to ask me directly.

Well, if you're still willing, I can tell you what the hell happened......

After that, if you plan to arrest me or whatever, I will be at your disposal, I deserve it, how about it? ”

"Gladly!"

Seeing that the other party was so honest, it could be regarded as playing into Natsuki's arms, and he didn't have any reason to refuse.

As for his identity, it didn't matter how Lawrence guessed, he walked into the room without hesitation, pulled the chair over the dresser and sat opposite the other party.

"Well, please begin, Mr. Lawrence......"
