I'm really a crispy French

While continuing to search for Eldie, Leon half turned his attention to Grandpa John's house.

The performance of this old man has always been amazing. Sometimes he just tells some ordinary fairy tales, such as "Nobo's Lantern", "Dragon Princess", "Orc Knight" and so on, but sometimes he tells ordinary people An ancient secret that is absolutely inaccessible, although it is not known whether it is true or not.

Leon would have continued to observe him for a while, but now he was going to lurk, and he didn't know whether the possible disturbances in the future would affect this grandfather.It would be a pity if he lost his goal.

But... no one at home?

Leon was sure that his pigeons had watched the old man walk into the house, where he sat in the rocking chair in front of the fireplace, read a book, had a meal, took a bath and fell asleep as usual.

However, not only is the old man gone now, but the middle-aged maid serving the old man is not lying in her room either. It seems that the response of the person coming is much faster than he thought.It was filled with all kinds of books, like a small library, but the study room was also empty, no, not completely empty, there was still a book on his desk.

The book is open with a sticky note on the page.

The mice who looked at the room separately regrouped into pigeons, and a big blood-red moth grew from the back of the pigeons. It flew to the front and looked at the note.

"To the little ones I don't know:

I know that you often stand outside the orphanage and listen to my stories, and you will also secretly land on the window sill of my study to read my open book.You are a very curious and eager to learn child, I thought that after a while, we would be able to get through the break-in period, but it's a pity, we have to wait for the next time.This book is given to you, and I hope you can meet a teacher you trust enough in the future.

One who might be your friend in the future, old John. "

Leon's original plan was to read the contents of the book and then destroy the notes, but things were not that simple.

The pigeon that took back the moth had a finger growing out of its wing. It flipped through the book and read the first eight pages. The content in it was what Grandpa John told about the half-devil in the orphanage last time.But the pages at the back could no longer be opened, they were all stuck together.

Is this bullying the pigeons without hands?The pigeon conjured two long, thin hands, each with three fingers.

But it still doesn't work, the pages still can't be opened.It's just that when the pigeon lifted the book, Leon saw another sticky note under the book, "Want to see the content behind it? Take it away, and it will show you the answer bit by bit."

"Boom!" The pigeon put down the book, jumped off the table, turned into a mouse and slipped away from under the door.

That book was left on the desk—he had enough eyeballs popped out today, so let's give it up for now.

"Alas..." A helpless sigh came from the empty room, and the opened book seemed to be held by a pair of invisible hands, and it was slowly closed.

Back at Bonova's house, the blood mosquito not only searched the first floor, but even the cellar and attic.Unless the secret room in this house is hidden by magic power, Leon also searched around, but there is still no sign of Eldi.

Leon can only be sure that during the few days when he and Fernand first arrived in Di Lier, that is, when Eldy and the Bonova family first moved into the villa in the suburbs, especially when the Bonova family just brought the priest In the two days after he was picked up, something happened to him.

Because that was the time when Leon was the most wary and the most careful. Most of them let the pigeons watch from the farthest distance. He was not very clear about what happened in the mansion.

Maybe... He and that little fat man just missed each other forever, right?

Leon felt a little regretful, after all, this little fat man was the most likely person to become his partner.Sometimes Leon also feels lonely.

"Guys, do you know where we went yesterday? I heard the sewers exploded there shortly after we left! Thousands of people died!" After the water grab this morning, the little Ke, who returned to the pink sweetheart, Ryan said loudly.

"How is it possible?" "Gods!" "Really?!"

"It's true! Cripple Tom's cousin's neighbors saw the carloads of dead bodies being pulled out over there!"

Leon: "..."

I always feel that this kind of dialogue is heard in my ears, and there is a feeling of deja vu, which is both disgusting and nostalgic.

Those guys who like to join in the fun ran out shoulder to shoulder, to see the grand occasion of carts pulling corpses,

Leon didn't understand, didn't they see enough death in winter?Speaking of winter... According to the way this world is handled, a large area of ​​death occurs at once, isn't it all burned?

Then... Then they didn't come back until after six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was only when Billy Rabbittooth came to check on everyone's situation-Billy would come to roll call every afternoon.

"Where did they go?" Billy knocked on Crane's door and called him out.

"I heard that the sewer pipe exploded at the place where the fight happened yesterday, so I went to watch the fun." Crone didn't go to bed early and get up early. He spent every day having fun with various men in his room, and he didn't mind being interrupted by Billy. Cover yourself up, and stand at the door so frankly.

"But they haven't come back yet!"

Crane shrugged: "Then they didn't come back. Maybe they went to have fun elsewhere."

Rabbittooth Billy and the little Crohn are both in charge of this area, but usually, Crohn is in charge of eating, drinking, and having fun, and Billy is in charge, but now it seems that Crohn is not really willing to leave thing.

Unable to make sense with Crohn, Billy turned and left.

Of course it can’t be that Billy is overthinking, it’s [-]% that something really happened-the thugs have friends or family members outside, but most of them have friends in Pink Sweetheart, and those who go out are even in There were people outside, and it was impossible for none of them to come back and say something.After all, they had to go to grab water tomorrow, and they all knew that Billy would come to Pink Sweetheart to roll their names at this time.

When Billy left, he was either going there to see the situation, or he was looking for Kaimen Big Mouth.

But no matter what, the group of them who were hired to beat up people might have been targeted by the relevant departments.As we all know, the departments concerned are the most terrifying departments.

Leon didn't choose to run away, it wasn't necessary, that would instead draw people's attention to himself.He took out the little red flower from his wallet, pinned it to his breast pocket, ordered a glass of beer, and sat quietly in the corner to drink it.

After today, I don't know if there will be such a quiet time to drink beer.

About 10 minutes after Billy left, the door of Pink Sweetheart was suddenly kicked open!A group of knights in gray armor rushed in. These people were not patrolling knights. There was a hyena's head on the chest of their armor.These people held up iron rods and beat everyone they saw when they came in. While beating, they shouted: "Gray hyena! Stop resisting! Get down on the spot!"

The bearded Leon lay obediently on the ground at the first moment. Some of them had lives in their hands, or those who had drunk too much and their heads were unclear howled and rushed forward. After the rhythmic sound of metal and bone striking, Involuntarily fell to the ground.

Gray hyena, this is a character in the urban legend in Diller City. The sheriff and patrol knight are in charge of ordinary people, and these gray hyenas are in charge of the awakened.

Diller City, North City Court.

This is a small castle in a city, it is not big from the ground, even as a referee that governs the three largest districts of Diller City (Iron Tree District, Wooden Shoes District, and Water District), it looks so small that even People feel that it lacks the majesty it should have, but anyone who has heard of this court will not despise it, because they all know that the North City Court has an amazingly huge underground area—or, a huge dungeon area , some people even joked that its underground area is bigger than all the cemeteries in Diller City combined, and the living people imprisoned there are not much better than the dead in the cemetery...

After being stuffed into the prisoner's carriage, the members of the Harpoon Gang were not brought here. Those who could walk by themselves were driven all the way underground.

There, everyone was given a single cell. These cells were only a little bigger than a coffin, and people who entered sideways could at most turn over inside. There was only an air vent the size of a mailbox above the head.

Leon continued to be obedient. After being stuffed in, he resisted the insect-killing pain, put his hands on his lower abdomen, and waited quietly for himself to be summoned.

Surrounded by screams, cries for help, the sound of beating or kicking the coffin cell, and the sound of fingernails scratching, the more time passed, the louder and clearer these sounds became.

Tick ​​tock... A drop of liquid dripped from the top of the private room onto Leon's forehead, and the thick bloody smell began to spread from the top.

No, my avatar has no sense of taste and smell, even the bearded Leon is an avatar.The bearded Leon opened his eyes, and he found that at some point, a bright light came from above his head, which illuminated the surroundings.

From the outside, it looks like a cell made of stone bricks. Under the light, it reveals densely entangled white bones, especially at the top, where skulls and skeletons are crowded together, and a trace of blood flows from one skeleton to another. It trickled down from his eye sockets and dripped into Leon's eyes.

Leon watched calmly, is this the ability of the awakened?Or is it created by the special environment here?Are these hallucinations?reality?Or nightmare?

He stared at the blood line dripping with blood, because it was the only moving thing in the whole scene, no matter whether the current scene is real or not, if there is a change, it should also start from here, right?

"...Three drops, four drops..." Leon couldn't help counting the drops of blood while watching, "Sixteen drops, seventeen drops, eighteen... Huh~"

Yes, Leon... he fell asleep after counting~

"team leader."

"Have you found anything?"

"I don't know if it counts as a discovery, but...someone fell asleep."

"..." The person in charge of Gray Hyena North District, code-named captain, can be said to be a task that is not only famous but also notorious.Since the captain became a gray hyena, he has seen many people, awakened, ordinary people, cowards, fearless, cowardly, arrogant, pure and innocent, vicious sinners, and this is the first fantasy in the underground prison He could still fall asleep, he asked his subordinates to lead the way, and asked, "Is there anything unusual about this person?"

"No, he just... fell asleep."

There is a huge crystal ball in the control room, which hits the reactions of the prisoners in each coffin cage on the surrounding walls.Among the cursing, screaming, struggling, and hysterical people, the bearded beard who was sleeping and snoring slightly was so different.

The captain looked at him, then at him...

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!" "You drunk! Wake up!" The sound of beating and roaring from above woke Leon up.The stone walls in the cell were still stone walls, there were no dead bones, no blood, and no messy things. Leon let out a breath and rubbed his eyes.

The small door of the cell was suddenly opened, and Leon was dragged out, but the person who let him out was not a jailer, the other was wearing leather pants, a black tight top, and a gray hyena mask: "Follow me."

Leon followed obediently. They turned a few alleys and entered an interrogation room.Various instruments of torture were hung on the walls of the interrogation room. Half of the wall and the entire floor were black and red, as if blood had soaked into the stone after years of accumulation.

There were already three people sitting behind the long interrogation table. They were also wearing gray hyena masks, and there was a lonely chair left. The person who brought Leon in motioned him to sit there.

"Big Noah?"

"Yes."

"The man in the middle nodded, and he raised his finger to Leon's chest: "Where did you get this little red flower! "

"A beautiful and kind lady gave it to me," said Leon. "She wore a strange garland of yellow weeds, but she was still beautiful. She had green hair and green eyes."

"...Okay, you can go."

"Captain?!" Someone exclaimed.

"Barbarian, take him out." The captain shook his head, gestured to a team member, and called him a nickname.

When Leon stood up, he hesitated: "Mr. Captain, may I ask, do you know who the lady who gave me the little flower is?"

"Don't you know who she is?"

"Yes, I don't know, she didn't leave her name, that was a very kind lady."

The corner of the captain's mouth twitched: "That Your Excellency is the Priest of the Cathedral of the God of Nature in Diller City, Archbishop Josefina Huerta."

"Thank you very much for your information."

Really God of Nature?That's great, no need to think about anything else.

Subconscious: They are all gods of nature, don’t you think there are too many coincidences?Why does such a big man need to show favor to you?Don't worry it's a trap, is there a conspiracy?

Leon: Because I am a big man, the possibility of traps and conspiracy is not so great. After all, I am a small man.Besides, at least the other party is showing favor, even if it implies taking advantage of it, it also shows that I still have value in the other party's eyes.It's better than that gay Zi Zi who caught my eyeballs before I met him.

Leon was sent out of the referee, and all the items seized before were returned. He didn't rush back to Pink Sweetheart, but found a small broken hotel in the wooden shoe area to stay. Until five days later, he saw Pink Sweetheart reappeared. After opening for business, I saw Billy Rabbittooth before returning to Pink Sweetheart.

"Noah! You're back?!" Billy looked at Leon in surprise, and went to give him a hug.

Leon glanced at the hall, and many tables, chairs and wines that were packed in the hall disappeared, and there were even fewer people, not only the thugs, but also many familiar girls, such as the Leon Ivy, who came to seduce him on the first day.In fact, there are only eight people in the hall now, not counting the girls, plus Leon and Billy.

"They're all gone." Noticing Leon's searching eyes, the joy on Billy's face also weakened, "The boss is dead, we went to the court, most of the girls left by then." He shrugged , "This is what it should be. If we can't come out in time, what can they wait here? Are they raped?"

Bill used the interrogative sentence pattern, but his tone and expression showed that it was an affirmative sentence.Girls without protection in this kind of area have only one fate waiting for them.

Regarding this point, Leon was also very clear, he nodded and asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing happened, but a lot happened, Noah, do you want to leave or stay?"

Leon thought for a while: "You should know that I have come out a long time ago, but I have been waiting for you all the time. Now that you are here, I will come to you, and I will not leave again."

Billy smiled, patted Leon's shoulder, and clapped twice again: "We are brothers, Noah." After Leon nodded, Billy stood up and greeted the others, "Man Everyone! Come here! Now that everyone is here, it's time for us to discuss what we should do."

Eight people are dragging a chair each, sitting around a table, and the few remaining girls are either sitting on their laps or sitting on chairs—except for Leon—a scene that doesn’t look very serious , is actually quite serious.

"We can go to the Iron Fists, Crohn and Martin are there," one said.

"Don't you know? Crane went the day before yesterday, and last night the Iron Fist gave him and his men a tough meal. Now that's a bunch of complete scum, can they still breathe at this time? It's all a question." The other person answered with a smile on his lips, without any sympathy for Crohn's situation.

"To the Poison Arrow Gang?"

"The new members of the Poison Arrow Gang are all going to test the poison on Old Neil. Are you sure you can survive?"

"Then go..."

The Harpoon Gang, a gang that can get water grabbing jobs, is considered a big gang. There are five gangs of the same size, and there are more than a dozen gangs on the next level.The eight people discussed back and forth between the twenty or so gangs, and were rejected by them one by one.

Billy suddenly looked at Noah who had been silent all this time: "Noah, what do you think?"

Although the bearded Noah became a member of the Harpoon Gang, he didn't play with women or men. He only drank beer, but he didn't drink too much, he didn't even gamble, and he never chatted and fought with others.He was different from everyone else, and no one but Billy wanted to get close to him except at first.

The other people who were about to quarrel immediately turned their heads, but they looked at Leon with unfriendly expressions.

"Yeah, Noah, let's listen, what do you say?" Someone said in a strange voice.

——Even if they stay together, it doesn't have to be one mind, some guys just have nowhere to go.

"I'm a newcomer, and I'm not familiar with Di Lier's gang."

"I just said, it's useless to ask him!" Another person laughed.

"But I do have something to say."

"Shut up! Everyone shut up!" Bill knocked on the table with his beer glass, and the scene finally fell silent.

"The Harpoon Gang is over." Leon nodded to Billy to express his gratitude.In fact, it doesn't matter whether Leon stays or leaves, but he has to hide his identity for a while, and now that there is chaos outside, it is better to keep this identity.And after all, he got Billy's protection and made a lot of money, so before leaving, he should give Billy some feedback, "No matter how good we were in the past, it's the past, we can't go back gone."

"Are you talking nonsense?" Someone patted the table and interrupted Leon with an irritable expression.

Leon looked at him calmly, but the other party gave a "cut" and retracted into the chair with his arms around his shoulders.

Everyone really knows that the Harpoon Gang is finished, and they don't know how to pick and choose until now they have nowhere to go.

"If you go to the big gang, other people already have their own manpower and confidantes. In the past, we were probably still hostile to them. No one knows if they have beaten each other, played with their women, or where and when Offended the other party. What happened to Crohn is the best example."

He only knew what happened to Klauen after listening to those guys just now. However, Klauen seems to be a person who doesn't provoke anyone and just enjoys it. In fact, he has slept too much, so he doesn't know Was it a human or a ghost that slept.The iron fist gang is a well-known place with a lot of gays, so his fate is naturally overturned.

The sarcasm on everyone's faces finally faded, and two of them lowered their heads seriously.

"It's best not to go to gangs that are slightly inferior."

"Why?" Billy was taken aback by this conclusion.

"It's very calm outside now, because there are officials suppressing it, no one knows who they are looking for, or what they are looking for, and everyone keeps their tails between their tails. But once the storm from the government passes, the gang's own storm will start. .The Harpoon Gang is over, who doesn’t want our territory, who doesn’t want to be one of the new Big Six? If we join these gangs at this time, we will be treated as cannon fodder.”

"..." This conclusion didn't make Billy very happy, but he still nodded, "Yes, you're right, I didn't think of that before."
