The Demon’s Menu

Tanier's reservation for the 'Starry Sky' restaurant was at noon.

And now is just a moment before sunrise.

Of course Jason wouldn't just wait foolishly. After borrowing a carriage from the old Sir and driving it by Finch, Jason and Tanier returned to the police station's bachelor quarters.

The morning sun rises, and the chill is expelled again.

The thin morning mist began to slowly dissipate.

In room 305, Bundy is informing about the investigation in Jason's cemetery.

only……

The atmosphere was a little depressing.

Not because of the content of the investigation, but because of... Jason!

Or precisely because of Jason's hair!

Jason's hair is gone.

simply put……

Jason, bald!

In the explosion just now, satiety was able to heal Jason's fatal damage.

Can,

Satiety can't grow!

So, it's not just the hair, Jason is missing even his eyebrows.

The face that did not look ugly at first, after the lack of hair and eyebrows, looked extremely fierce.

Of course, it is equally bright.

Especially at this moment, when Jason took off his hood, the whole head was shining brightly under the reflection of the rising sun.

Bundy, who is talking about, was involuntarily attracted by this brilliance.

After Finch glanced at it, he diligently moved his eyes elsewhere.

Tanier's face turned red.

Laugh if you want to.

I don't mind.

Jason's voice just fell.

puff!

Ha ha ha ha!

Tanier couldn't help laughing.

Jason looked at Tanier lightly.

The unwavering gaze made such laughter smaller and smaller.

Cough cough.

Jason I didn't mean it.

In addition to the reserved 'Looking at the Stars' for lunch, I will add a special dish: 'Eel Jelly'!

However, this requires me to communicate with the chef. I will leave first.

Tanier quickly withdrew his smile, and after speaking in a serious manner, stood up and walked out.

The young teacher of the Deer Academy is worried that if he continues to stay, the savings he has finally saved will be emptied like this.

but……

I can't help it!

That bald head!

Ha ha ha ha!

With suppressed laughter, Tanier ran all the way downstairs.

Even the suppressed laughter was still clearly audible in the face of Jason, whose perception was more than twice that of ordinary people.

However, Jason did not chase out.

After all, lunch is a long time!

He has time.

continue!

Jason turned his head and said to Bundy.

We have checked, and indeed, as you said, Jason, there are many bodies missing from the graves of anonymous people in the cemetery, but we have searched the entire cemetery and found nothing.

I contacted the informant and they didn't know either.

As for Santell?

Speaking of this, the sheriff paused slightly, with a puzzled look on his face.

However, he immediately said:

He's buying corpses!

I can confirm this after following up with several informants.

In the last two months, he bought a total of six corpses.

Buy a corpse?

Jason was taken aback.

The answer was somewhat unexpected by Jason.

Originally in his thinking, even if Santel and the disappearance of the body were not directly related, there would be an indirect relationship.

But now it looks a little different.

Santel, who is guarding the cemetery, should not be short of corpses.

No need to go out and buy corpses at all.

Even if there are half of the bodies in the tomb of the unknown, there is still half left.

unless……

The corpse in the cemetery, he couldn't move at all!

And there are not many reasons to keep Santel from touching the bodies in the cemetery.

Among them, the order that made him the mastermind behind the 'Grave Keeper' is the most intuitive reason!

What is the other party doing with these corpses?

Jason couldn't help frowning.

Subconsciously, he wanted to ask the old Sir.

But immediately, Jason gave up this option.

The other party is very likely to know something.

However, he will never be told.

If the other party wants to say something, the other party will say it when he left before.

Because you don't want to talk?

still……

Some kind of restriction?

Jason thought about it, and then found that the sheriff was looking at him with a very strange look.

What's the matter, Bundy?

I said, if I wanted to laugh...

You can laugh as much as you want.

Jason said.

I don't want to suffer the consequences of laughing at you.

Do not worry.

It's just that the hair is gone, the follicles are not damaged, and they will grow back in a few days.

Bundy waved his hands again and again.

The sheriff is not a fool like Tanier, but he can see that Jason, who says he doesn't care about his baldness, actually cares a lot in his heart.

Then the sheriff fell silent.

Hesitation and confusion appeared on his face.

what happened?

Jason asked again.

Jason...

Are you 'undead'?

Gritting his teeth, Bundy asked.

And, be prepared for the worst.

Inquiring into other people's privacy is not good.

The normal world is like this.

And the 'mystery side'?

More so.

Although it has not been a few days since the official contact with the mysterious side, some things are the same.

Of course Bundy couldn't be clear.

But Bundy was desperate to know the answer.

For this, he was ready to pay the price.

However, what the sheriff didn't expect was that Jason nodded simply.

Yes.

he replied.

Is it because of 'Helke's Pharmacy'?

After Jason nodded, the sheriff couldn't help but ask.

Yes.

Jason nodded again.

In order to cover up its own secrets, 'Helke's Elixir' is a very good cover.

Also, Jason doesn't mind channeling those who are hostile to him with misinformation.

The unequal news is enough to give him more advantages.

The advantage over that 'behind the scenes'!

Before he really understands the other party and the other party's purpose, Jason must arm himself like this.

even,

After getting to know each other, such 'arming' is also essential.

Because, this will affect who will be the winner between him and the other party!

Of course, his teacher solved everything for the best.

But Jason's character made him have to plan ahead.

However, beyond Jason's expectations, Bundy looked at him nervously and expectantly just as his words fell.

Then Jason, do you know of any medicine to bring back the dead?

Bundy asked.

Potion to bring back the dead?

Jason was taken aback.

Looking at the anticipation on the sheriff's face, he finally shook his head.

He didn't know what the sheriff's expectation was coming from, but he could guess.

It must be because of someone, right?

But the more like this, the more Jason can't deceive the other party.

A good lie will bring temporary comfort, but more likely will bring more painful harm.

is that so?

Bundy looked lost and bitter.

The sheriff wanted to say something, but Jason looked in the direction of the window as if he was aware of it.

Bundy and Finch subconsciously followed Jason's line of sight.

Immediately, their breathing was suffocated.

because,

on glass,

stick to...

a face!
