The Devil’s Cage Chapter 12: Exploration
The dark carriage stopped at Langton Dean Street No. 17.
The Derestun waiting in the room surprisedly looked at the carriage that could be extraordinary as long as it saw it. When it saw Kieran coming down from the carriage, it was a relief.
He has been very happy that he and Kieran have become friends.
In the beginning, this was the case.
Experienced yesterday, even more so.
Moreover, this friend of his not only has the strength of formidable, but also seems to have a very unique charm on his body, constantly attracting people with special talents.
It's like this coachman and carriage that disappeared in place.
There is also Catwoman.
When I think of Catwoman, from time to time, I want to be close to Kieran, and the corners of Derestun's mouth can't help turning up.
Know that Catwoman is well-known for its pride in Hero Alliance, even if it is difficult for him to assign the opponent.
Of course, he does not like the so-called assignment.
In the eyes of Derestun, everyone is the same, they are all equal, there is no so-called assignment, only cooperation.
And this is the purpose of his appearance at Langton Dean Street No. 17 at the moment.
After all, cooperation also requires compensation.
"Early, 2567."
Derestun said with a smile.
"Early."
Kieran nodded and sat on the main sofa, looking at the brown paper bag placed on the coffee table and the box under the coffee table.
"This is the title deed of two shops in the center of Smowell District."
"Although they are not very useful now, as long as half a year, the prosperity there will surely surprise everyone."
"Please do not refuse, this is what you deserve."
"In fact, compared to what you did in 2567, these two stores are really nothing, I should have given more, but the reconstruction of Smowell District requires too much capital, so I can only give These, and the rest, I will compensate you in other ways."
Derestun said sincerely with apology, and then took the box under the coffee table to the coffee table.
This suitcase is not large, a standard 24-inch suitcase, but after contacting the coffee table, the sound is very heavy.
Derestun didn't sell the customs, and opened the suitcase.
Inside, there are three boxes made of solid wood, one big and two small, the big one below, and the small one above, all locked with locks.
"I heard that in 2567 you are looking for Cult Period's secret books and solitary books, so I asked someone to collect them."
"This is the key."
"Relax, they are not all, I will try to collect more."
Derestun said this.
Kieran did not refuse.
Compared with those two shops, he valued these three antique books more. After receiving the key from Derestun, Kieran checked it.
And seeing Kieran received the reward without hesitation, Derestun could not help laughing.
He appreciates people like Kieran who don't hide their thoughts.
Unlike some people, they obviously want nothing but want to go around in a pretentious manner.
After a few minutes, Kieran has checked three books.
No problem.
The paper is full of sense of the times, but the content above is a little different from the current text, but this does not hinder Kieran.
He packed the kraft paper bag with title deeds and three boxes into the suitcase and handed it to Emma Eddie
Emma Eddie pushed the box into the study. When Emma Eddie disappeared behind the study door, Kieran opened.
"Did you investigate what happened yesterday?"
Kieran asked.
Regarding yesterday’s events, Kieran did not conceal.
Purington City, Interrogator, ‘Dark Gold’, and the so-called Demon, Kieran all told Derestun one by one.
Because, Kieran is very clear that these things cannot be concealed.
As long as Derestun starts the investigation, the other party will soon know about it.
Rather than creating gaps at that time, it’s better to speak directly.
"I sent all the staff, but..."
"Clueless!"
"I can be sure that the super criminals who attacked Eckend City are only others' chess pieces, and who is the hidden chess player, I am not sure."
Derestun said solemnly.
After hearing these news from the mouth of Kieran,'Fist of Justice' was really shocked. For Purington City, this'Fist of Justice' has taboos that ordinary people do not have, let alone those that should have disappeared in history Interrogator.
As for ‘Dark Gold’ and the so-called Demon, ‘Fist of Justice’ is getting more and more headache.
He always felt like he was about to be thrown back to Cult Period 600 years ago.
Because it was only in those days that these words were popular.
"As soon as possible."
"We don’t have much time."
"And Eckend City has become a target."
Kieran has no accidents.
Although Hero Alliance is extremely powerful and has excellent intelligence, not all information can be obtained overnight.
This takes time.
That's right, what they lack most now is time.
Undoubtedly, Derestun knows the meaning of Kieran's words. After a slight pause, he said: "I have contacted'Giant Arm' to incorporate his security company into the defense force, and,'Giant Arm' is familiar with training security personnel. On the existing Basic, as long as one week, a considerable number of people can join the defense queue."
"Also, I have proposed to the mayor to rearrange the defense of Eckend City."
"The police station, fire station, etc. will all enter our defense system."
"The mayor has also agreed."
Speaking of this good news, Derestun couldn't help laughing.
Then the chat became easier. After about fifteen minutes, Derestun got up and left.
As the leader of Hero Alliance, Derestun was busy at this time. Not only did the super hero need him to contact, but the armed forces belonging to ordinary people also needed him to unite.
Thinking about the attitude of that person middle-aged police chief, Kieran knows that this is not a simple matter.
Because that is the attitude of most ordinary people in power.
Deer, hunted for antler.
How come super hero is exceptional?
The unique ability has already made them need to withstand Envy, ostracism, and even all kinds of dark ideas when they are different.
So, many times, Hero also becomes a criminal.
Not a bad guy by nature.
Just...
Forcing it.
Derestun has encountered these things. He still sticks to the bottom line. He also hopes that other super heros can do the same. Therefore, he cannot stop himself.
He must move on.
He must do his best.
The door is closed.
The car that Derestun rides disappeared into the rain curtain. Kieran took the hot tea from Emma Eddie, took a sip, and looked at Golan.
"Adult, everything is normal."
"There are no watchers around you."
"I don’t have any followers."
Golan walked out of the shadows.
"Is it?"
The Kieran holding the teacup gently placed the teacup on the coffee table.
The other party's reaction is a bit slower than he thought.
No!
It should be that the other party chose another method.
A more covert and safer way.
That's right, now he is extremely easy to be targeted by this method.
For this, Kieran is not worried.
On the contrary, he was eager to do so.
However, in habitual caution, Kieran believes that first floor insurance is required.
Pap!
Kieran snapped his fingers.
"Boss, for you."
The Superior Evil Spirit response appeared next to Kieran, without the need for more commands from Kieran. Superior Evil Spirit already knew what Kieran wanted to do.
"I will do my best."
Superior Evil Spirit said, and disappeared in place.
......
The chill brought by heavy rain, Friess seems to be unconscious.
He held a black umbrella with a long handle and pushed open the door of the cafe.
In the welcome voice, he rejected the hot towel from the waiter, and he walked to the corner.
As the famous ‘Frostman’ in Eckend City, this kind of chill looks like Friess.
If it is not to take care of those who will deal with him, Friess will simply choose a more open place instead of a warm cafe in front of him.
Although the cafe lights in front of you are soft, the music is beautiful, and the coffee is mellow, compared with the safety of the open area, the former can be completely discarded.
Comfort is easy to make people vigilant.
And vigilance is about life.
There is nothing wrong with being vigilant about giving up comfort.
At least, it seems to be the case with Friess.
The premise is that there is no Kieran command.
Friess with Kieran ‘Get more Cult Period secret books and solitary books’ is now completely at this starting point.
He will still be vigilant, but he has the premise of giving priority to the completion of the Kieran order.
So, he began to think about the feelings of those who trade with him.
At least, the environment in front of Friess has the effect of improving the success rate of trading.
In fact, it is the same
"Hello Your Excellency."
"Did you post the message?"
A middle-aged man looked around after entering the cafe. After seeing Friess, he immediately came over. While wiping, the other party felt the warmth of the hot towel and couldn’t help smiling at Friess. .
"It’s great to have such a service in such weather."
"I have a copy of Cult Period."
"It's a bit crippled, but it can generally guarantee about 70% of the content."
"Do you need inspection?"
As the middle-aged man said, he took out a book wrapped in oilcloth from his arms.
Friess took the tarpaulin without saying a word.
The middle-aged man did not refuse.
The reason why he dared to go to the appointment with Single Player, and is outspoken, in addition to being confident in himself, but also because of the people in front of him have a very good reputation.
Never violate transactions and never deceive others.
Of course, provided that you have not violated the transaction.
Otherwise...
The missing people in Eckend City are not one or two.
"Uh."
After careful inspection, Friess took out the checkbook and wrote a six-digit number which was the price given when he released the message.
It may fluctuate because of the completeness and preciousness of the book, but it is not large.
The middle-aged man took the check and looked at the figures above with a satisfied smile.
"By the way, I still have news about similar books here, which are free for you."
"A group of guys found an ancient tomb in the suburbs not long ago, that should be the tomb of a large nobleman, which contains many precious things, and books are also essential."
"Do you need their contact information?"
"Of course, this is not free."
The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"How much?"
Friess asked very simply.
"Ten thousand."
After the middle-aged man made a bid, he waited for Friess to bargain.
However, to the surprise of the other party, Friess did not mean to bargain at all, and directly signed another check and handed it to the other party.
After obtaining the gold of ‘Mr. Evil Spirit’, Friess has never conducted so-called bargaining.
In his view, such a thing is a waste of time.
Pap!
The middle-aged man flicked the cheque lightly and loaded it up carefully. He immediately picked up the paper and pen on the table and wrote a phone number.
"It’s a very pleasant transaction."
"I hope we see you next time."
The middle-aged man walked out as he spoke.
However, the moment the other party pushed open the cafe door.
Boom!
A gunshot.
The middle-aged man's head burst like this.
The headless corpse fell to the ground under the impact of bullets.
"Ahhh!"
"It's killing people!"
After a scream, people in the cafe started to rush to the back door.
The shooter did not stop.
The other party allowed these people to leave and walked to Friess with the gun.
Crack.
handgun was thrown onto the table by the other party. The other party pulled away the chair and sat in, with his legs naturally resting on the table.
"I heard that you are looking for Cult Period's secret book, orphan book?"
The other party asked frivolously.
However, it was because of this frivolous sound that the cold surrounding the fingertips of Friess dissipated.
"Do you have?"
Friess asked.
"Of course!"
"We found a tomb of a large nobleman in the suburbs before. We wanted to shoot the things inside, but a passing guy kept spreading our news, making us difficult."
"So..."
"We chose to kill him."
"This is a warning!"
"Warning those guys who are staring at us, be careful not to mess with us!"
The other party murderous aura said happily.
But in the eyes of Friess, it is sullen bluff, bluff, but what does it matter to him?
He just came to complete the Kieran order.
As for others?
Friess is indifferent.
"What about things?"
Friess asked directly.
"In a hidden place."
"Dare you come with me?"
It seems that because the fear on the face of Friess was not seen, the other party was a little unwilling and immediately asked provocatively.
"Lead the way."
Friess said to stand up and walk towards the door.
"I hope you will be so calm for a while~ IndoMTL.com~ The other party looked at the back of Friess and didn’t hide his voice.
The two left the cafe one after the other.
Nobody ignored the middle-aged man who fell to the ground.
The dead, is the safest.
But the moment the two left, the body on the ground began to move.
The broken head, the brain splattered all over the place, like memory, began to wriggle towards the torso.
After only ten seconds, the middle-aged man returned to its original state.
The opponent who was resurrected slapped the dust on his body because of the fall, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Hook."
The other person murmured to himself, then sneered contemptuously.
"A bullet just killed me?"
"Naive!"
"I am Undying Body."
The other party said that he was ready to step away, but as soon as he lifted his leg, the other party heard a sudden sound from behind him.
"Oh?"
"Undying Body?"
"What a coincidence!"
