Chapter 192: A Rejected Invitation

As Esther walked back from the dining car to the second-class compartment, she had an extra pack of sandwiches for the rabbit.

However, when she saw the indignant expression on the rabbit's face that wanted to sacrifice her life, Esther could guess that Benjamin had said something that had provoked the child even if she didn't think much about it.

Benjamin innocently stretched out his hands at Esther, indicating that he had "done nothing".

Esther handed the sandwich to the rabbit, and although she had only been away for a moment, the rabbit seemed more defensive of Benjamin, and even after Esther returned, the rabbit's face did not improve much.

"Where the hell did the rabbit provoke you? You're so obsessed with bullying him." Esther

Benjamin cleared his throat: "Ahem, I'm just bored and teasing him casually, who knew this kid would take what I said seriously?"

The rabbit pointed his finger at Benjamin: "He confessed to it, he deceived you!"

Esther looked at the angry rabbit on his face, and then at Benjamin, who was smiling lightly, "Why do you still play with an ordinary child? The rabbit really believed."

Esther patted the rabbit on the back, and it took several minutes for the boy to calm down again, believing that what Benjamin had just said didn't count—because Benjamin was a liar with a mouth full of lies, and he didn't need to deal with any rabbits.

Hearing Esther's words to comfort the rabbit, Benjamin only snorted lightly and did not refute anything.

She wasn't wrong, but if she had such a cognition, why would she believe in herself? This is a point that Benjamin has a hard time figuring out.

The rabbit took the sandwich and looked at Esther suspiciously, "Won't you eat it?"

Esther shook her head, "No, I've eaten in the dining car, it's all yours."

"Okay, I won't give it to him." The rabbit looked a lot happier.

Benjamin raised his hand to hide his smile: "If I want to rob, you can't stop it."

The rabbit jerked the sandwich behind his back and glared nervously at Benjamin.

"How do I contact you when I get to Prydford? Or are you going to follow us straight to the hotel and go back to your own home?" Esther asked, distracting Benjamin.

Benjamin thought for a few seconds, and his gaze swept over the vigilant boy: "Actually, if you want, you can come to my house as a guest, I have a vacant guest room there."

"It's not good, it's too much trouble for you."

"Anyway, those rooms were meant to be for the family members' plea for help," Benjamin crossed his hands on his knees, "My house in Pritzport is a safe house for the Jacob family, and most of the family members know about it, and I don't know about them."

Esther was stunned for a moment: "Then your own safety ......."

"As the host of the party, of course, you have to take the corresponding risks and responsibilities, but it is not as critical as you think. I have my own hole cards." Benjamin said casually, smiling and nodding his disc glasses, looking quite confident.

Of course he wasn't afraid, the other Amon clones wouldn't come to him at all, he was the safest "thief" in the entire "Destiny Hermit Society", and this security was originally based on the fact that he was also a clone.

Other Amon will not do anything to "Ben", because Benjamin has always had a long-term task, and the order of the body is the highest priority command, and no one will come to block the clone of "Ben", who is accustomed to acting alone, at most he will ridicule when he encounters it.

For example, the other one, the postman who also uses the port of Prydze as a long-term homestay.

Benjamin sighed, "But it's still annoying to be harassed so often, after all, those bad guys...... It doesn't endanger my safety, but it's a headache for a long time."

Esther was a little curious, but resisted the urge to ask if Benjamin had any relatives at home, and decisively rejected his proposal: "It's okay, it's more convenient for me and the rabbit to stay in a hotel, so I don't need to disturb you."

"Okay, then I'll take mine

The rabbit bit the sandwich, staring at it like a wolf

Benjamin's face seemed to be biting at the fake skin, and the rabbit grunted from his nostrils, thinking in his heart that the man was lying again.

Esther didn't care, these were very ordinary polite words, and she even suspected that Benjamin would secretly follow the two of them, and did not leave quietly until the hotel where they were staying was confirmed: "Anyway, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Benjamin."

No matter how humble Benjamin's smile is, there is a subtle arrogance in him, which is especially evident when facing the rabbit: "No thanks, I just think this is very important, well, it's rare to meet such a ...... with a lot of personality."

His gaze fell on the rabbit, "I'm sorry, we shouldn't have talked about this in front of you, it's something you shouldn't know."

Asther heard Benjamin's voice, "No, Mr. Benjamin, there is no need for him to forget this."

Benjamin stared at Esther quietly for a few seconds before smiling and saying, "Since you say so, it's up to you."

The rabbit swallowed the sandwich in his mouth, and he always felt that the minced beef was stuck between his teeth, making him feel uncomfortable.

He subconsciously turned to Esther to ask what he meant by that sentence, but instead of looking at the boy, she lowered her eyes and thought about something.

——

When we arrived at Plitz Port, it was dark, and it was gently draped over people's shoulders, painting the noisy platform in warm tones.

Compared to the clouds when I left, the sky was clear today.

After bidding farewell to Benjamin with the rabbit, Esther left the station without looking back, and boarded the taxi carriage by the side of the street.

This is also for the sake of the rabbit's mental health, Benjamin does not listen to Esther's persuasion at all, and always grabs any words to stimulate the boy. The rabbit did not fight Benjamin on the steam train, and had exhausted all the boy's perseverance.

He didn't care if he could get through it, he just wanted to punch Benjamin, and Esther certainly couldn't watch that happen.

Esther was very helpless at Benjamin's deliberate provocation of the rabbit, and now she was relieved that she did not have to continue to sit in the same car.

Benjamin has been contacted

Calculate the date a little, that is, the day after tomorrow.

When he couldn't see Benjamin, the rabbit was noticeably more cheerful, and he leaned against the window of the carriage and drew the curtain to look out.

Esther followed the rabbit's gaze and looked out into the street outside the carriage.

A two-wheeled bicycle makes a "jingle bell" sound to the carriage, and the cyclist seems to be in a good mood, humming some tune in his mouth, and sps all the way by.

From Esther's angle, she could only faintly catch a glimpse of the back of her head covered in black hair, and the rear wheel of the bike spinning rapidly.

She clearly remembered that she had never seen a bicycle in Rune before she went to sea, and in the past few months, a new invention has appeared......

Of course, it was difficult to see the situation inside the dim carriage from the outside of the car, but Esther withdrew her gaze as quickly as possible, and it was always rude to keep staring at others.

Then the rabbit lowered the curtain and looked at Esther uneasily, "I know you, and the man, you seem to have something very important to do."

"Benjamin, you say? Yes, I have a very special agreement with him, what are you worried about?"

Although most of the time, it was Esther who made the decision, and the rabbit just followed her without any opinion, but the boy was not stupid, he had been listening to Esther and Benjamin's conversation, and had his own ideas.

But when Benjamin was there, the rabbit forced all those questions into his stomach, until now there were only two people left, and he was driven by a certain desire to seek answers from Esther.

"You're all that kind of people, people with special abilities, aren't you?"

Esther stared intently at the rabbit for a few moments before nodding slowly, "Yes, we are all extraordinary, and even I have the same abilities as Mr. Benjamin."

Seeing the rabbit's spitting appearance, Esther naturally knew what he was thinking: "I understand your curiosity about this ability, but the extraordinary world is dangerous

It's more dangerous than you think."

Esther's hand subconsciously pressed against her waist bag, the red cloak was folded into a ball, and she stayed quietly inside: "I can't help you make decisions, you have your own destiny, but at your current age, it's too early to set foot on this path."

There was a slight disappointment on the rabbit's face, but he was not surprised by this result, and the boy gently pinched the old hat on his knees, as if to re-pinch the cracked slots:

"Just listening to your conversation, and that person's nasty attitude, I always feel that the gap between ordinary people and extraordinary people is as far away as the East District to the West District. It's as if I climbed to the top of a ruined warehouse, and I could see the more beautiful spire to the west, but I could never see clearly, and I didn't know what kind of life the people were living there.

"So I want to change...... I don't mean to cause you trouble, I know I'm looking greedy, but knowing this, it's hard not to fantasize. It's probably a bad thing, like you say, dangerous."

The rabbit stopped what he was doing and looked up at Esther, "You're leaving, and it won't be long, right?"

Esther nodded and did not speak.

"You see, that's what worries me the most, but we all know it's going to happen sooner or later. People die of hunger for too long, and it's not every day that you can pick up leftovers in the trash." The rabbit put the old hat on his head, as if to remove some kind of psychological burden, "And I accidentally picked up a big meal, which is too much luxury for me."

He looked at Esther with a calm gaze, "If it's just a good dream, can I wake up?" Maybe it's better for me to forget about it, so I can live more calmly."

It was a plea that Esther had never heard before, and she suddenly realized that she had underestimated the resilience in the boy.

Esther replied with a smile, "I'll decide when I get your ID." You still have a little time to think about it."
