After seeing Jason stop, the tall, strong woman also stopped.
"Hey, is this the end?"
"I lost again."
"You run really fast."
As the other party said this, he extended his hand to Jason.
"Get to know me, I'm Arras, the bounty hunter."
The tall, strong woman introduced herself.
Jason didn't raise his hand.
He is not used to shaking hands with strangers.
Still, Jason replied.
"Jason."
Alas didn't care about Jason's attitude. After hearing Jason's self-introduction, this tall and strong woman put her chin on one hand and muttered to herself, "Jason? Jason? Me? I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
"Have you heard this name?"
Jason asked back.
At the same time, he immediately thought of his background introduction.
There are repeated references to 'him' and 'rumours'.
Jason is very concerned about these rumors about himself.
Because, this will affect how he integrates into the world.
"Um."
Alas nodded, wrinkled his beautiful almond eyes, and began to recall, "There was a legend about the 'undead' circulating in the underground world. It is rumored that he is the younger brother of a certain great noble lord, because he wore a Putting on a mask, he gained the ability to be immortal, and once in a certain city, he fought against the local army because of some things, wiped out an integrated chariot regiment, and even destroyed most of the city."
The younger brother of the great noble?
mask?
Against the reorganized chariot regiment?
Here's an excerpt from my experience with crab salad and croutons,
Into the rumors?
Jason frowned.
He subconsciously thought of the short sentences that appeared on the black notebook when he entered the copy world in front of him.
Some foods don't come alone.
They need to cooperate.
even though……
Before, it was hard to eat!
Remember that this is your starter with drinks and drinks
...
"Combination?"
"This is the match?"
Jason frowned.
The situation in front of him was not good for him.
Because of such rumors, his biggest trump card has been exposed.
Moreover, about his experience, it is not known how much has been exposed.
This feeling simply suffocated Jason.
An inexplicable sense of urgency began to surround Jason.
I need to be more powerful!
Only stronger and stronger strength can cope with the immediate crisis!
so……
I want to eat!
"Where did you go before?"
Jason asked.
"Before?"
"I took over the client's task and asked me to investigate a special mansion."
"I went around the perimeter and checked it out, and I didn't find much."
"Jason, are you interested?"
Arras didn't ask, but looked at Jason with interest.
Alaston laughed when Jason nodded.
"Great!"
"Now we are collaborators!"
"I'm also worried that I can't handle it alone... I, I, I'm either timid, or a little afraid of such strange things."
Alas lowered his head, two sturdy fingers kept colliding, and when he made a muffled sound of 'bang bang bang', the whole person said with a slight twist.
Jason glanced at each other silently, and suddenly there was an unpleasant feeling between his chest and abdomen.
Are you the scariest one?
Do those strange things dare to appear in front of you?
Aren't you afraid of breaking your neck?
Jason's heart was full of shouts, but he didn't say it in the end.
However, Jason was still a little curious.
"You seem to trust me?"
Jason asked.
"Um."
"Jason isn't a bad guy."
"The first time we met, the second time we met, Jason, you were eager to leave, but in the face of my pursuit, you just left, but you never used your weapon to hurt me."
Arras gave an 'I'm witty' smile.
Then, the tall, strong lady scratched her head reluctantly.
"You must know that people's muscles can only fight against small-caliber firearms, such as shotguns and automatic rifles, and they will still hurt people."
she said so.
Against small caliber firearms?
Jason was startled. .
He also possesses the defense against small-caliber firearms, but that was only obtained after the fusion of the Prussian body forging technique and the Griffin body-forging technique.
But the other side?
Jason looked at Arras' strong muscles.
Is it similar to bodybuilding?
Or pure muscle strength?
The former Jason is not surprised, but if it is the latter...
That's really amazing!
Because that means the same talent as him!
It's just such a thing, he can't ask.
Everyone has secrets.
He didn't want others to know his secret.
So do others.
Facing his collaborators, Jason has always been fair.
"Where is that mansion?"
Jason went straight to the point.
"On the outskirts of town."
"Shall we go now?"
Alas asked.
"I'm in a hurry."
Jason replied.
With such an answer, the two did not stop in this block anymore, and following behind Arras, Jason went out of the city very smoothly.
Along the way, Arras not only avoided the probe, but also avoided some patrolling police cars.
All of this seems to be familiar.
"You know, I'm a bounty hunter."
To Jason's inquiring gaze, Arras pointed to himself with a thumbs up.
Then, when he actually left the city, he made a phone call.
to that employer.
"We will arrive in front of the mansion in about 30 minutes."
"Okay, see you then."
Arras put down the receiver of the payphone and walked over to Jason.
"Our employer is nearby."
"Let's just go straight."
As Arras said this, he strode forward.
Jason nodded and followed.
"Jason, are you strong?"
"Don't deny it."
"When I first saw you on the platform on the second floor, I could feel your strength."
"Just like when I first faced a lion when I was a kid."
The two walked side by side, Alas couldn't help but said.
"And what about the lion?"
Jason asked about the part he was interested in.
"It became my friend."
"It wasn't happy at first, but after I punched it twice, it agreed."
"But then it died of old age, and I buried it under a tree."
"Then I came to the big city to look for opportunities."
Alas answered.
"Aren't you from Angcheng?"
Jason asked in surprise.
Arras' accent and familiarity with Ang City made him think that the other party was a local.
"It's half of Angcheng. My mother is from Angcheng. She inherited my grandfather's fight gym. My father came to the fight gym to challenge. Later, after being punched twice by my mother, he became my father— —My dad said that he felt a heartbeat at that time.”
"However, my dad is not in good health. We have been living in the country. My dad died of a myocardial infarction a few years ago. My mom was very sad and went to explore the world alone."
"Long time no news."
"I only have Xiao Miao for company. Later, when Xiao Miao died of old age, I came to Angcheng."
Alas said this, a sadness appeared on his cheerful face.
Looking at Arras' sadness, Jason looked ahead.
He didn't tell Arras that her father should have chosen to sacrifice his life after feeling the breath of death.
Heartfelt feeling?
That's a real heart attack!
Looking at Arras, Jason could imagine what the other's mother looked like.
Sadness comes fast and disappears fast.
After just taking two steps, Arras regained her cheerful look again. She happily ran back and forth beside Jason, looking around curiously from time to time.
Then, he picked up the weeds on the side of the road and threw them into his mouth.
Then, spit it out again.
There's nothing wrong with her, she just wants to eat something.
Jason looked indifferent.
He has encountered enough strange things, and he has long since seen it.
The two moved on.
Within 30 minutes of Arras' notification, Jason saw a mansion.
A mansion built on the lake.
The whole shows a neo-gothic style, but what caught Jason's attention the most was the towers in the courtyard walls.
When he saw this tower, Jason was a little dazed. He seemed to see the buildings in his hometown. However, when he looked closely, he could find that the tower was specious.
The combination of the overall Gothic style and the elements of the hometown makes the whole mansion weird.
An inexplicable atmosphere hangs over here.
Even under the setting sun in the afternoon, it still does not make people feel warm.
On the contrary, when a gust of wind blows.
The coldness will penetrate from the skin to the body.
Therefore, there is no one wandering around here.
Only Jason, Arras and... the client.
The other party was a middle-aged man, wearing trousers and a white shirt. The suit jacket in his hand was taken off and hung in the crook of his arms. After seeing Arras, he ran over immediately.
"Great, you're finally here!"
There was joy on the other's face.
Then, his eyes turned to Jason.
"This is my mate Jason."
"He's very strong."
Arras accepts Jason.
After hearing Arras' introduction, the employer immediately laughed.
"Hello, Mr. Jason."
"I'm Thomas."
"This mansion is an inheritance given to me by my distant relatives - it was impossible for me to inherit such a mansion, but the heirs before me chose to give up the inheritance."
"So it's mine now."
"I know, it has some problems... well, but I have to inherit it."
"Because I need some money to turn my business around."
"So, I need to confirm that 'it' is safe and can be sold smoothly."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
After a simple courtesy, the employer in front of him said directly.
Jason nodded.
Of course he knew what the other party meant.
Another poor guy who was cornered and reached for the last straw.
Under such a premise, the other party doesn't care whether the life-saving straw can float with him or not, or whether there is something deadly hidden under the straw.
The other party just wants to grab the life-saving straw.
As for after?
That is of course a later thing.
Those things are none of his business.
He only cares if the food here is delicious.
So Jason took a deep breath.
A faint scent was hidden in the air, very faint, but Jason was able to confirm that such a scent came from that mansion.
'food'!
Jason's eyes lit up.
"When do we start?"
Thomas asked.
"Now."
Jason said this, but did not rush in immediately.
While enduring hunger, he observed around the mansion.
Arras is doing the same thing.
The employer, Thomas, did not urge him. Even though he couldn't wait to sell the valuable mansion in front of him, he knew the importance of investigating beforehand.
Although he had gone in alone several times before, at this moment, Thomas was still standing there and waiting quietly.
call.
The afternoon wind blows.
It was supposed to be a warm, warm wind, but in Thomas's sense, it became more and more gloomy.
It was colder than when he waited alone before.
Thomas walked towards the sun while wearing a suit jacket.
He wished it was warmer.
It's just that the sun, which is so close at hand, seems to be a little far away.
He walked for a long time and didn't come.
It was only when he put on his coat and raised his head that he realized that he had entered the mansion at an unknown time.
The door opened behind him.
only……
When he looked at the open door, it slammed shut.
The dull sound made Thomas wake up like a dream.
His face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously ran towards the door.
But a dry palm was placed on his shoulder like a shackle, pulling him back.
"Do not!"
The shouts echoed in the mansion, but there was not a single sound from outside the mansion.
Jason and Arras returned to their previous places after completing the perimeter inspection.
"what?!"
"What about people?"
Arras was looking for the figure of the client. By the wide lake, he could not see a single person at a glance.
Almost instinctively, Arras looked at the mansion not far away.
Before that, Jason's eyes were firmly locked on the mansion.
"He won't go in, will he?"
Alas swallowed his saliva, moved his steps carefully, stood behind Jason, and curled up hard.
It's a pity that Arras, who is similar in height to Jason and slightly stronger than Jason, can't do this at all.
Jason ignored Arras.
He strode towards the mansion.
The closer he was to the mansion, the more Jason could smell the 'food'.
And this increasingly strong taste of 'food' informed Jason of the danger of the mansion in front of him.
In the face of danger, Jason, who can restrain his hunger, is never careless.
"Arras, can you help me get a lot of heavy weapons in secret?"
"Better artillery, explosives or something."
Jason backed away as he spoke.
"I beat those arms dealers, they won't sell me anything..."
Arras looked troubled.
"So high-calorie food?"
Jason asked in a different way.
"no problem."
"These supermarkets can buy it."
Alas immediately laughed.
Jason raised his hand and threw the backpack to Arras.
"Turn all the bills in there into calorie-dense foods you can find."
"Remember not to go to the supermarket, but to conceal the channel."
"Don't attract attention."
Jason urged.
"Give it to me."
Although Arras has been blacklisted in terms of arms, food is not, and as a bounty hunter, Arras has considerable channels.
The tall and strong woman took the backpack, turned around and prepared to leave.
But after taking two steps, Arras realized that he was standing still.
Do not!
Not standing still!
Rather...
Go to the door of the mansion.
Subconsciously, she looked at Jason.
I saw Jason took out two grenades with a calm expression.
