Esseret

Take a deep breath and make up your mind.

"What happened to the sachet in Dongshi?"

Jesse smiled strangely, and he said that there was a tacit understanding.

"what?"

"I said, you and Edward." Jesse raised his chin, "I'm going to close the door."

Colin leaned forward to enter the door, and heard a bang behind him.

"Say it."

"What are you in a hurry for?" Jesse lit a cigarette, poked at the case, gave out one, and waved it in front of Colin's eyes.Colin turned his head and shook his head in resistance.

"Okay, tell me what you know."

"What do I know—" Colin swallowed, "You care so much! This thing almost killed my friend..."

"So, what does this have to do with me?" Jesse stared at Colin jokingly, crossing his legs and walking leisurely.

"...Anyway," Clinton paused, "the smell is similar to the medicinal materials in West Market."

"Ah, it's very similar." Jesse's expression of interest turned into a gloomy expression in an instant, "Then I should really ask, how did the materials from the West Market get to the East Market? Robbing? Or stealing? "

Colin's heart skipped a beat.But he immediately answered: "The premise is that it is indeed the same thing."

A strange idea came to his mind, he felt that he didn't really hate Brant that much.For example, at this time, he thought he was helping him avoid a confrontation with a troublesome guy.

Jesse leaned forward, his nose moved involuntarily, and then he laughed.It was a magical feeling, obviously smug and sarcastic at first, but quickly turned into something very mild.

"Okay." Jesse didn't bother with this topic any more, "but you should know where the medicinal materials in West Market come from. I just focus on the affairs of this area, and I can't get involved in other things, and I don't have the heart to get some Some don’t.”

"Then... is it possible that the medicinal materials in Naxi City—"

"Impossible." Jesse stubbed out the cigarette, "It's strange, I still don't know what a great person is hiding behind Dongshi, I really want to meet; Dongshi and Xishi can keep the temperature Because of the fire, maybe this person and I are quite compatible in some way."

"Maybe the pharmacy sold it or something..."

"I said it was impossible." Jesse raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, "Why don't you believe me. I found someone to get that sachet. It smells like it, but it's obviously not the same thing."

Colin stopped in time.

"Little guy, you haven't figured out anything, have you? You still need to think about some things first."

"……you're right."

"That's enough, let's go." Jesse got up to chase the people away, and while he wasn't paying attention, scraped a little spice off Colin's chin.

Colin followed the trend and left, but just before the door slammed shut, he seemed to be talking to himself: "Where did Edward go at a time like this?"

18. "Missing disappears at the moment of meeting, followed by fear of the future."

Brant followed Colin out of the tavern, walked a few steps, and turned into a nearby alley.The narrow sky is connected with the eaves of the roof hanging down, and the dirty and old small windows. A few drops of water slide down the crimson frame, twisting the sky all the way, turning it into a depression in the ground, and slowly pouring into it. Bottomless holes.Brant hurls the cigarette into the puddle, sideways out of the way.The man was not tall, with a hat on his head, and he walked hurriedly with his head down.

As soon as you come out of the alley, walk a few steps to the east, there is a small shop sunken in the wall, as if some flower has deeply rooted on the stone, and the fragrance flows along the huge petals.The shop is dim no matter day or night, rendering a scene of sunset.The owner of the shop was sitting in the depths of the twilight, as if his back was against the gradually hidden sun on the side of the mountain.In fact, the people in Dongshi can only see a few smoggy eyes of sleeping light between the houses, the light is more vivid than when they just woke up, as if they burned themselves hot.

After meeting Brant, the boss stood up on his knees, and touched the key at his waist to open the first lock of the warehouse.When a small door was exposed in the warehouse, Brant followed into a dark space, where a slight dampness after the rain could not be avoided, which made the original light fragrance a bit heavy.Brant moved his nose as he walked, stopping and stopping, then pausing for a moment to think.

"I remember clearly the deployment of materials in the past few months, and there is nothing wrong with it—except a few days ago, I found a few fake products in a store that just opened."

Brant responded, and as he walked out of the barn door, the lock on the back clicked.

"...It happened to be within a few days of that guy from West City coming back."

"I know." Brant couldn't help frowning, "That guy doesn't seem capable of doing this kind of thing."

"But you know, Brant, you were there that day!" The guy suddenly jumped up, "It's not just the smell... It's clearly the same thing... It's very different from our original material."

Maybe——maybe that guy doesn't know why...Talking to himself.

"...Brant?"

"Have you asked them?"

"...Oh. They said it was sent together with other materials, so they didn't think much... Some of the low content were sold without being noticed." Speaking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, not yet what happened."

Brant couldn't think of anything for the time being... It's really strange, every time that guy comes back, there will be more or less problems; before that, he clearly didn't recognize him, as if he could tell at a glance the relationship between the medicine and the west market. The difference between them—Brant shivered, and looked back awkwardly.Surrounded by the smoke of incense, that face emerged, his face was fierce, hostile and indifferent.Brant blinked with palpitations, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"...Hey! Brant!"

This time he didn't hesitate, and rushed out.He forgot what was in his mind at the time, it was probably blank, he even lost those backlogged emotions, and the suffocating doubts... He felt that he was desperate, just to confirm, with his eyes, hands, and whole body and mind .

But he wasn't there; he couldn't have disappeared so quickly, and he wasn't a ghost, or those creepy spiders... But the slightest trace was hallucinogenic, it was terrible.

19. "Among the voices, there is an unusual silence."

It really doesn't matter which ship you have, so you can get on any one, and it doesn't matter if you can go anytime.What package and the like, take a few necessities as soon as you get on the ship.I know a lot of people, say hello from boarding to disembarkation, when I am bored, there is no shortage of company for a night, and there is no shortage of a glass or two of fine wine, although I am dizzy and vomited.

But it all seemed suddenly boring and purposeless; but Edward was not going to jump into the sea to have fun.

He landed.This small town is smaller than Eseret, and not far from Eseret.But there's nothing to run to and hang around here, and no pretty women hanging out in taverns.The places where you can drink are mostly young guys with dirty faces, or fat rude women, and red-faced men with big beards making a lot of noise.

Naturally, there will be no words floating naturally in the air like clouds.People would point at those lunatics dancing against the wall and laugh loudly, rinse their mouths with wine bottles and spray them into the air generously along with their saliva.

There is no sale of Eseret's medicine here, no fakes that hinder the flow, swear words chasing crazy people all the way, jumping into the river to bathe together in the smog.But most of the fakes were very different from Dongshi, and the few similar ones, before Edward caught them, the people who brought them jumped into the sea.

"If you are unlucky, you will die." The bearded man in the tavern was shaking his fleshy body drunkenly. "Bump into a rock, or drown. Or get eaten by some big fish."

"It's miserable."

"What's so miserable. They all jumped down following their own will." The bearded man laughed haha, as a pause in the sentence. "That's right, you asked me to ask about that weird plant or something last time." He hiccupped loudly and laughed again. "That thing was probably made on purpose by someone. It's very bad."

"Artificial cultivation?" Edward didn't look too surprised.

"Ghost knows. Anyway, anyway, that's the thing. You, if you find the source of that plant, it's probably the people there." The bearded man suddenly narrowed his eyes slyly, "It's strange that they all piled up in your East City It's gone, ha..." He turned his head all of a sudden, and the chair was crushed by him with a bang.It just so happened that the sound of people outside the house was closer, and the old beard yelled, and together with the others, his eyes flocked to the window.

"Well. This is a parade, not common. Good luck, Edward." He bumped into the person next to him thickly.Edward didn't stand still, rubbed his shoulders to the side, and looked over while saying apologetic words.

The man didn't look at him, and didn't agree.Edward felt familiar, as if looking at the portrait through the dark green door, but the second glance felt different.This is an unrefined side face, with a more handsome outline, and a scar attached to the left ear deepens the three-dimensional effect of the side of the face.He was still wearing his coat and hat lightly indoors, so he couldn't see the details of his face clearly.His right hand was drooping, the cigarette butt flickered on and off, and the ash fell down.

Edward saw that this person didn't care, so he didn't say much, and continued to look at the rows of torches held high outside the window.The people under the torch were muttering something, heavy, slow, but in unison, and the sound waves spread around and rushed forward, like a river eroding the entire street, and only the sound of water was heard.

"They are going to start from the back mountain and go all the way to a farther place. However," Da Hu
