In the middle of the night, the sky was full of stars, and the night breeze blew over, carrying an atmosphere that belonged exclusively to summer nights.

This is a very rare fine weather in London.

The courtyard was silent, and the chestnut tree in the middle had reached its flowering period. The strange fragrance of flowers attracted the flying insects to joy, and the traces of Tom Riddle's training during the day were cleaned up.

The pickle jars in the left courtyard had already been taken back into the house because they were worried about the rain, and there were only circles of craters to prove their existence.

'Squeak' sounded.

The door to the left in the courtyard was opened, and a black figure came out of it unhurriedly. He carefully walked around the pickle jar in front of him, trying not to make any movement.

"Sir, you escaped with my small shop, don't you want to leave something?" Suddenly a voice came from the center of the yard, causing the black shadow to cast his gaze on the chestnut tree.

The man was reclining on a tree branch, playing with a dagger in his right hand. The end of the dagger was inlaid with light blue gemstones. His pair of long legs were leaning against the branches full of flowers. His gray-blue eyes were reflected in the moonlight and turned into black ink like the deep sea. Blue, the threat in the tone is obvious.

He had been waiting here from the beginning, waiting for someone to throw himself into the trap. The chef was good at this, knowing whether the prey was dead or alive, awake or sleeping without getting close.

Simply, the hard work paid off, and finally let him wait.

That's right, Dana knew from the very beginning that the rescued man was not in a coma, and also knew that the latter had plans, so he deliberately waited for the night attack when the man was about to leave in the middle of the night!

The dark shadow in the yard had come to the yard at this time, he looked up at Dana lying on the tree, his handsome face was revealed by the moonlight.

The black elastic curly hair sticks to the thin cheeks, and the facial features are perfect like stone carvings, as if he was born with a gentleman-like atmosphere. A dark light flashed in his obsidian-like eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

A straight suit is very suitable for a man, it just rightly shows all the advantages of a man, and looking at the texture of the clothes, Dana can be sure that there is absolutely no such expensive suit in his store.

"The shopkeeper already knew that I wasn't unconscious?" Hannibal smiled and said with certainty.

Of course, otherwise, how could he wait here in the middle of the night!Dana reached out and brushed the hair that fell in front of him at some point, and couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the man's words.

Looking at the polite attitude of the other party, the unscrupulous shopkeeper suddenly laughed, and the dagger on his right hand gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

"Naturally, that's why I waited here to prevent someone from reneging!"

Repudiation!This word is all his doing, no one has ever been able to rely on him, never before, not now, and never in the future!

The shopkeeper completely ignored the knife in the man's hand, and the dagger fluttered around his nails like a butterfly. The smile suddenly disappeared on his face, and he jumped down from the tree to meet Hannibal face to face, and said, "I believe Mr. smart people!"

Smart people would not start a fight here without authorization, because the aftermath of the battle would likely attract patrolling police officers. After all, a lot of things have happened on this street recently.

"Okay, is there anything the owner can do for me?" Hannibal shrugged, put away the knife in his hand, and looked at the man with the dagger opposite him.

He didn't care about those two-legged sheep outside, but when facing an opponent of comparable strength, even an antelope might make him fall short.

"I'm short of a long-term worker!" The store manager said casually.

The implication is that he has been recruiting for a long time. Opening a shop is not just about cooking. Some chores are still too cumbersome for a young Tom Riddle.

Such as settling accounts, such as purchasing ingredients, such as some miscellaneous things, these Dana is definitely not willing to get started, so he can only find another one.

Someone just happened to show up.

Long-term workers?Hannibal was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrongly. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't understand Chang Gong's meaning, on the contrary, he understood it too well.

The current situation is like a lamb saying to a hunter to hire, one is the prey and the other is the hunter, which is simply the most unexpected choice.

"So that's the case, the shopkeeper must have already planned it!" Hannibal laughed in a low voice, then everything can be explained.

Why do people who dislike trouble so much talk about troublesome stray cats while instructing others to bring them here, and are not even afraid of the troubles that will follow.

"Anyway, you don't have anywhere else, do you?" Dana asked back.He didn't intend to be annoyed by being exposed, but his tone carried an unquestionable affirmation.

This person is the most manipulative guy he has ever seen, even the most unprovoked person in the arena who was known as Lianshixin in his previous life can't compare with him.

Step by step, very careful to bypass the other party's language trap.

"Indeed." Hannibal seemed very satisfied with the man's rhetorical question, and smoothed out the folds of his suit jacket before looking up at the indifferent man in front of him.

"It seems that we have reached a perfect consensus." Dana is also very satisfied, because he will get a perfect long-term job.

"My pleasure." Hannibal smiled gently.

The two of them smiled and got close, tacitly knowing each other, and on the surface, they were as happy as meeting a close friend.

"Then, I'll go back first!" Yawning lazily, the man said softly, and threw the dagger with his other hand like lightning.

'Shuh! '

Hannibal seemed to have known it for a long time. With his left hand, he lightly grasped the put away table knife, the tip of the knife collided with the tip of the knife, and then the two surrounded each other, playing tricks, and he threw the dagger into the master's hand again.

"The recent disappearance of homeless people I hope also has a happy ending."

Without looking at it, the man stretched out his hand to take back the dagger that was coming quickly, his lazy tone seemed to never wake up.

Since last month, there have been a lot of homeless people on this street. Originally, he thought that the London police had finally been reliable this time, but he didn't expect the incident to get worse. Now the trouble is unbearable for him.

Although the main source of customers of the shop is not homeless people without financial resources, too many disappearances will cause the original customers to hesitate again and again.

After all, no matter how tempting food is, there is no life tempting!

"Is that Orestes?" Hannibal first picked up the handkerchief in his arms and wiped the knife carefully. Hearing the man's words, his tone was a little surprised.

Putting away the knife, the man in the suit looked helpless, but he didn't make any annoying movements, and even his every move was pampered.

"That's the kindness of Apollo, the sun god!"

"Humph!"

Dana was a little impatient to play charades with him. For a person who hated trouble, he was in a very irritable mood at the moment.

"The offspring of the Goddess of the Night will follow him throughout his life."

But in order not to lose the wind, the shopkeeper still replied: "No matter the wind and rain, no matter the disaster, even the daughter of the king of the gods."

"Well, dear, you really understand, don't you?" Hannibal had already got what he wanted at this moment, such as the whole incident, such as the guy who was hated by the Nemesis.

"I don't deny it." Dana turned around and walked to his room, leaving the man where he was. After a while, he threw out a sentence: "Restrain your behavior recently!"

He's never been afraid of trouble, but he hates troublemakers, even if they're useful to him right now.

Habits are terrible. When you get used to the package of sin, you will find that no matter how big the turmoil or how disgusting the scum is, you will remain motionless.

"!!"

Hannibal raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at the man's back thoughtfully, but did not speak, but walked to the guest room at the beginning.

Originally, he planned to leave after this incident, but now he suddenly doesn't want to leave. A delicious ingredient that suits his taste is very rare.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

the next day.

The weather is not good, it is gloomy and depressing, and the heavy water vapor smells like earth, but it is the biggest feature of this city.

The pollen in the flowers of the chestnut tree disappeared due to a heavy rain, and the pale yellow petals became translucent, and of course there were more tightly closed buds.

Because of the rain, the pickle jars were still placed in the house and piled up together, and the printing pit in the yard turned gray-black due to the rain.

"Hiss~ hiss!!" Help! ! !

The gloomy sound unique to snakes could not help but make one's hair stand on end, but for Tom Riddle, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

The original walking gradually changed to speed up, and finally turned into running.

The black-haired boy didn't even have time to change into the exercise clothes on his body, and walked anxiously to the place where the sound came out, sweating on his feet.

If Tom Riddle didn't care at first, Nagini's cry reminded him of the dangerous person he brought back yesterday, and the bloody smell of the other party was almost overflowing.

The most important thing is the weird smile on the face of the unscrupulous shopkeeper when he and the big white snake carried the man to the guest room. The last time the former smiled like this, the restaurant next door that competed with them closed down...

When two tigers fight, there must be one injury.

He still has great confidence in his master, but he has no confidence in a certain young snake who is seriously curious.

Ever since I knew that my big white snake is a delicious ingredient for the people of a certain country, I have become more careful, especially now, what if that man also likes to cook? ?
