Leo held up his hands and motioned for Phoenix to do the same.

Phoenix, however, did not do this, but said directly: "We are friends with William! Do you remember William Harms? We are not bad people." ”

The old man's wolf-like eyes seemed to be deep in thought, and then he slowly lowered the gun.

But he still didn't open the door.

"Hurry up! For William's sake, I don't want to shoot. ”

Leo said, "Come on, old fellow, your gun should have been rusted to death... It's not at all... ”

Boom!

A gunshot rang out, blasting a piece of clay next to Leo apart.

And with the sound of gunfire, the whole town was awakened.

A large number of old people and a small number of children, armed with all kinds of weapons, poured out of the house.

When they saw two strangers standing at the door, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they still had a look of vigilance and indifference.

All kinds of weapons in their hands have been unanimously revealed.

"Sim, let them in! let them come to me!" an old voice came from a loudspeaker at the back of the crowd.

The crowd, who were obviously resistant, finally gave way to a way. It is enough to see the prestige of the person who speaks through the trumpet.

The old man stared at the two fiercely, but still reluctantly opened the door.

Staring at the two Leo with a warning look.

Signaling to keep an eye on them.

Leo and the two passed through the vigilant and even hostile gaze of the crowd, and led by a black woman, walked up the wooden staircase between the containers to the highest point of the city... The apex of container stacking.

The door of the container is hidden, push open the door and walk in, this is a shabby-looking, but very clean and warm study.

The dim lamp emits a warm and weak glow.

An old man with a bald head and a gray beard, with a blanket with a furball on his lap, sits on a simple chair and snoozes with a book in his hand.

"Survival and destiny is a good book. A lot of people think that what we need is a return to science, but I thought... These literary classics that have summarized and summarized the past are what we should inherit the most. We must first be civilized, and then we can build civilization, and when we have a clear understanding of the road ahead, we can better grasp our weapons. Leo did not politely wait for the old man to wake up, but directly opened his mouth to wake up the old man's rest.

The old man opened his eyes in a daze, revealing a tired look.

"What a demanding young man, how can it be reassuring to put the responsibility in the hands of a guy like you?" said the old man.

As he spoke, he picked up a music box from the table.

Slowly place the loose battery.

A beautiful and tragic melody came from the music box.

In the sound of music, the three people who should have had a lot to say were silent.

There was silence until the music ended.

"What's it called?" Phoenix asked.

The old man said, "TheLudlows... I've always loved it, but I can't hear it a few times, and I'm running out of batteries. ”

"Why don't you think about it? maybe... Someone can learn this tune. Maybe it can be preserved in some other way. There's always a way, isn't it?" Phoenix said.

The old man laughed and said, "It's been too long! Nostalgia for the past is what I, an old man, should do, not you. ”

As he spoke, the old man put down the music box, and then continued: "I have lived for nearly a hundred years, spanning two eras, and life or death is enough for me to accept it calmly. There is only one thing I can't rest assured, tell me... How can I trust you?"

The old man stared at Leo with cloudy eyes, as if waiting for his answer, but it didn't seem to be more than that.

"Isn't God's revelation enough?" said Leo, "Mr. Bullard! We have communicated in God's revelation many times, and although you have not told me your location, I have come to you, and I think I have passed your test! I have enough patience and wisdom and, of course, a little bit of luck. ”

The old man shook his head and said, "No! you know that's not what I'm talking about." ”

Leo looked at the old man and said solemnly: "Leo Brady, I will protect the goddess with my life, and I will guide the goddess with wisdom, I will not interfere with the goddess's choice, but I will show her the way when she is confused." It is my duty to do that, and my existence is precisely for that. ”

The old man sighed, and then said, "This answer... I'm not satisfied. ”

"She... It's my granddaughter, at least I've always considered her granddaughter. If I could, I would like her to live an ordinary life, like everyone else, simple, hard, maybe hard, but sometimes happy. She can have her own husband and children and worry about them. ”

"But she carries her mission, just like you and me. None of us can choose, but we can't run away from it. Leo said to the old man.

The old man said, "Maybe!"

He then handed Leo a note.

"Go for her! Give her this music box, and she'll trust you. The old man said.

Leo opened the note and looked at it, his expression changed slightly.

"It's an old method, much older than my age, but it has always worked... Isn't that right?" asked the old man with a wink at Leo.

Leo said, "Yes, it is indeed the most useful method." ”

The address on the note reads Fengdu... Makai Academy.

An academy founded by the Inhumans that teaches the art of sealing demons, as well as various combat techniques and how to identify the different monsters in the wild.

After all, the monsters of the New World are better at hiding.

"Her name was Molly, and I dyed her blonde hair flaxen and put her glasses. The old man continued.

"If she's not ready, you can wait... Don't bother her, I'm talking about... Try not to get close. The old man said.

Leo glanced at Phoenix.

Then asked, "Are we being followed?"

Phoenix said confidently: "Of course not, if there is I will definitely find out." ”

The old man said, "I have lived for nearly a hundred years, and I have seen too many accidents and coincidences. Since fate has pushed you and me to her side, then fate will definitely push her and reappear in the field of vision of the crowd. ”

"When I tell her location, she can't continue to hide... ”

Saying and waving his hand, the old man seemed to be tired, and slowly closed his eyes.

Leo bowed slightly to the old man, then took the music box.

The two pushed the door open.

When they walked down the stairs and stood at the foot of the 'mountain' where the containers were piled up, the highest container suddenly lit up with a red light.

"It's on fire! It's on fire!"

The crowd began to rush upwards to put out the fire.

The fire spread very quickly, enveloping the entire container in an instant.

But before it was about to spread, it was extinguished by the explosion of the dry powder prepared in advance.
