Chapter 19 Self-Taught Edward

Should I know?

John looked at Jason, who was taken for granted, with a bewildered expression.

Jason's natural appearance made John subconsciously think that he had missed some important clues, or that he didn't hear what Jason said just now.

But after thinking about it for a while, John couldn't remember anything he missed or didn't hear Jason's voice.

After all, it just happened.

From getting off the car to entering the underground room, to returning to the car, everything clearly appeared in his mind.

Looking at John's confused look, Jason sighed slightly in his heart.

At this moment, he began to inexplicably miss those expatriate members of the 'Cat Cave'.

At least, if there is an expatriate member of the 'Cat Cave' at this time, he can listen to the 'reasonable explanation' easily and directly.

"Yesterday the old housekeeper Fendilt died."

"Today, the people in the coffins in the secret room have 'awakened'."

"The traces left in the chamber are 'fresh', definitely within a day."

"Who do you think is in the coffin?"

Jason spread his hands and asked back.

"Fendilt!"

John's words blurted out.

Then, there was a hint of surprise on the face of this 'retiree' with an extraordinary career.

"Because of this trump card, he was easily killed by Toise!"

"It's also because of Fendilt's intervention that the Edward family declined in a short period of time."

"He borrowed everything from the Edward family to accomplish what he wanted, and 'dealed' with those who wanted to stand in his way!"

Hearing John's explanation, Jason shook his head.

"Why can't it be Edward?"

"Why can't all this be Edward's arrangement?"

"Why do you think the 'Fendilt' you see is the Fendilt,

And could it be Edward? "

Jason asked again.

John was stunned for a moment.

This time, without waiting for John to speak, Jason continued: "Don't forget, Findilt has served the Edward family for nearly thirty years!"

"Thirty years, such a long time, is doomed that Findiert cannot betray the Edward family, and his loyalty can be confirmed."

"But what if this is just his interpretation?"

John retorted.

"Of course it could be!"

"But he is a housekeeper, a housekeeper who graduated from the Housekeeping Academy, and a housekeeper who takes care of the entire Edward family!"

Jason reminded.

"What does that matter?"

John frowned.

"time!"

"He doesn't have time to learn those mysterious knowledge!"

"He also doesn't have the ability to construct the ceremony just now!"

"Trust me, learning that knowledge is far more difficult and time consuming than you think!"

Jason has the answer.

As a master of [Picture Repetition], Jason is very aware of the difficulty of learning this language. He relies on his 'teacher' notes and 'satiation' to get started quickly, which does not mean that others can also .

What's more, the 'ceremony' in the underground secret room just now can not only be interpreted by the proficient level.

The 'ritual' there requires a higher level.

So, the question arises!

Where did Fendilt learn this knowledge?

Where does a young man from an ordinary family learn similar mysterious knowledge?

Every genre and force has its inheritance.

Such inheritance is determined, and there are traces to follow.

It also determines the existence of masters and apprentices, or simply superiors and subordinates.

But now, except for the coffin surrounded by the two-headed snake statue that Jason just faced, he has not really touched any similar existence.

As for self-taught?

A butler who has the profession of butler, follows his master at all times, and is always on call. Occasionally picked up a book of mysterious knowledge, and then relying on his own talent, he will reach the master level in the remaining one or two hours of study every day. level above?

Such talent is no longer excellent.

Rather, excellence!

Excellence far beyond ordinary people!

Would someone with such outstanding talent really stay in a family for thirty years?

Suppose!

Suppose, Fendiert is really gifted, but he doesn't care, he just wants to stay with the Edward family.

The biggest contradiction appeared: why did he destroy the Edward family?

Or, when Edward destroyed the family, why didn't he stop it?

Fendilt, who has extraordinary power, is a housekeeper, but it is not difficult to stop Edward without hurting Edward.

It doesn't make sense!

Although Fendiert was loyal to Edward, you must know that Fendiert stayed in the Edward family to work and serve for thirty years!

It is not so easy to change a habit that has been cultivated for 30 years!

Habits have nothing to do with wisdom.

In a way, it's scarier than anything else.

In order to keep this 'habit' going, Fendilt will definitely do something extraordinary to protect the Edward family when there is a real crisis of destruction.

Even if he didn't want to hurt Edward.

But what about the others?

It's not about good or evil.

It's just human nature.

But none of this happened.

The Edward family fell.

Edward is missing.

Findilt lost his career.

But after hearing about the 'unusual' thing about his former employer, Fendilt, who was worried, came to look for his old employer.

Then?

His old employer showed him some amazing 'capabilities'.

A door was opened for him.

Let him see things he has never seen before.

And, ask him if he is willing to cooperate with his 'comeback'?

In the face of thirty years of service, plus the use of 'teaching' these miraculous abilities as a bargaining chip, Findilt has no reason not to agree.

Then……

Edward 'disappeared'.

Everything after that was staged according to Edward's "teaching".

In the face of the killer and the apology behind him, he chose to bury the other party's body.

In the face of Toise's 'lack', he was easily killed.

All of these have a reasonable explanation.

Findilt is nothing but an advance puppet, and Edward is the real mastermind behind it.

Even, Edward should have shown the "resurrection" drama like Fendiert, which made Fendiert believe that his death was only temporary.

The next moment, Edward will bring him back to life.

And in fact?

It's only Edward who is really "resurrected"!

Or 'reincarnation'!

After meeting the various conditions of the ceremony, Edward, who finally succeeded in 'reincarnation'!

Edward, who came from a wealthy family, should have occasionally obtained the inheritance of a certain organization, power, or even a note.

Then, the head of the family was unconsciously addicted to it, so much so that he made several judgments, and in order to recover his losses, Edward began to use the power of 'mystery'.

It's just that he's not familiar with it all.

He made a mistake.

He was threatened with death.

Therefore, he began to buy a lot of strange things, trying to prevent death from approaching, and this accelerated the decline of the entire Edward family until its demise.

However, Edward left the possibility of 'reincarnation'.

And, at this moment, Edward has succeeded.

These speculations, Jason did not hide John.

In the absence of the explanation of the "cat cave" person, he said it himself.

"That is to say, the old housekeepers Fendilt and Elmode are all part of the 'ceremony'."

John keenly found the key point.

"Um."

"Snake, there are too many meanings in mysticism."

"Its molting is thought to be immortal and immortal."

"Its fangs are seen as instigating and killing."

"Its venom is considered deceit, betrayal."

"And we just saw a statue of a two-headed snake staring at the coffin - Edward 'persuading' Findilt, which can be regarded as instigation, deception; Findilt then 'betrayed' Ermod, Ermod The 'death' brought the killing, so the 'undead' came, and Edward did a 'molt' in a special way."

Jason explained to John with the knowledge he had learned when he was studying [Picture Repetition].

"It's terrifying that this guy has done all this with Findilt's loyalty!"

"Fendilt he... ugh."

John lamented the death of the old butler.

"horrible?"

"This is just the tip of the iceberg of the opponent's 'ceremony'!"

Jason said softly.

"The 'ceremony' is not over yet?"

John was startled.

"of course not!"

"Don't you forget what the current situation in Cherry City is?"

"Those angry parents have come!"

Jason said in a sure tone.

"If I were Edward, how could it be possible for the 'ceremony' to end so easily?"

"I've been 'reincarnated', so I naturally want to get back everything I lost."

"and……"

"I want strength!"

He knows too well what a guy who has lost everything, is on the brink of death, and is "resurrected" wants to do.

In the 'city that never sleeps', such a guy is like a crucian carp crossing the river.

Each one is like a gambler who loses with red eyes.

Not only crazy, but... greedy!

"Believe me, among the 'parents' who came to Cherry City this time, there must be a few extraordinary guys - they will be Edward, the promoter of the second half plan."

"And us?"

Jason said this, his eyes became solemn.

"What will we do?"

John asked involuntarily.

"How did we get together?"

Jason asked back.

John's face changed.

"Is this also part of that guy's layout?"

he asked quietly.

"certainly!"

"And, it's still an important part!"

"No one wants someone to destroy them when they are successful, right?"

"So, it's better to rule out 'accidents' - use the mysterious power he is best at!"

When Jason said this, after taking a deep breath, he continued:

"Contact Brian, McCall."

"Let them rush to 222 Potato Street."

"We go straight there."

"Hopefully."

John didn't speak, he had already stepped on the accelerator.

The whole car rushed out like an arrow from the string.

...

The cherry city at night, under the illumination of neon, is extraordinarily beautiful.

But tonight no one appreciates such beauty.

just!

Just now, someone broke into the house of a congressman and beat everyone, including the six bodyguards and the congressman, to death with his bare hands.

Then, before people could react, there were continuous gunshots from another rich businessman.

Some people saw with their own eyes an automatic tracked vehicle with a heavy machine gun rushed in, and the gunfire spewed out more than ten centimeters.

The rich businessman was killed on the spot.

Even the bodyguards suffered heavy casualties.

Then, it's an explosion!

The house of the rich businessman was bombed to the sky.

Why the two attackers attacked, no one knows.

However, when they finally left, they all hugged a girl without exception.

This made everyone couldn't help but think of a piece of news they heard before: someone was holding an auction with a 'girl' as a 'goods'.

The emergence of this idea made locals in Cherry City shudder.

But for parents who came from other cities at the fastest speed, it was different.

They gather together.

They were still negotiating.

They were still sane.

But when they heard that someone rescued their daughter, the affection in their hearts completely exploded.

They become desperate.

They took out their weapons from the car.

They rushed to where their daughter might be.

Most of their weapons were purchased after their daughter disappeared.

Even the most peaceful people, after experiencing the disappearance of their daughter, can't help but buy a small self-defense pistol, just like its name: self-defense.

They need to protect their families.

They don't know if these weapons will be used.

But they carry it with them.

And at this moment...

They used it!

Bang, bang, bang!

Da da da!

Boom boom boom!

The sounds of pistols and submachine guns were intertwined.

Explosion after explosion.

The originally quiet and peaceful Cherry City has become like a battlefield at this time.

The people who appeared on this battlefield were not soldiers.

But they were scarier than any soldier.

because!

They are not afraid to die!

In order to find their daughter, they had already forgotten everything!

The bodyguards of the rich and parliamentarians were completely stunned, because they never thought that a thin middle-aged uncle with thick glasses could sweep with an AK, and a bloated middle-aged aunt took it. Shotguns, spraying them continuously.

The most exaggerated thing is that a trembling old man walked in front of them with difficulty, and then took off his jacket, revealing a tactical vest full of grenades.

There was anger in their eyes.

Their expressions were full of hatred.

Their mouths have a unified slogan -

"Give me back my child!"

Loud and powerful voice!

The bodyguards who were beaten shuddered.

As the employer's bodyguard, they know some things about the employer.

They quickly reacted to who these people were.

A trace of guilt followed.

And that made them hesitate.

They also lost their last chance.

The simple defenses of each mansion were broken through layer by layer, and the parents rushed into the mansion, shouting the names of their children.

Some responded.

They wept with joy.

some……

Couldn't answer.

They are sad and helpless.

They got more and more angry.

They start to get... crazy.

The gunshots intensified.

The explosion was louder.

The streets of Cherry City were empty when a wave of gunfights emerged.

At this moment, people are hiding in their homes and trembling.

At this time, a figure appeared on the street.

He was dressed in a black, decent dress and held a cane in his left hand. As he walked forward, the cane kept touching the ground and made a special noise.

On the index finger of the right hand raised occasionally, a ruby-encrusted ring was shining brightly.

He walked unhurriedly, just like walking on the street, more like enjoying.

His mouth kept humming softly.

Then, suddenly, the humming came to an abrupt end.

It turned into a cold self-talk—

"not enough!"

"not enough!"

"A little more tragic!"

"I need more life!"

"You shall welcome your... King with such a life!"

"Cherry City, your king is back!"
