Chapter 85

The 30-meter-long lightsaber pierced through the door.

But there was no sound of flesh being cut, only the peculiar sound of cloth being torn apart.

Stab it!

Rags and sawdust fly.

The figure appeared again.

The other party stood about 5 meters away from the door of the ward at this moment, and clapped his hands gently.

clap clap.

Amidst the crisp applause, a touch of admiration sounded in the dark corridor.

"As expected of His Excellency 'Ship Cutter' Jason."

"With such a serious injury, you are still so alert."

The other party's voice was yin and yang, and it also had a unique tone.

Not born this way.

but to cover up.

Use accents and pauses to disguise the original voice.

Step, step.

Footsteps sounded from the ward, and Jason's tall figure wrapped in bandages appeared at the door of the ward.

click.

Jason raised his hand and flicked the light switch on the wall.

Immediately, the light of the light bulb dispelled the surrounding darkness, and suddenly stretched Jason's figure to a limit, covering the floor in front of the uninvited guest.

This was where the opponent was originally standing.

When the switch rings, the other party starts to back away.

Obviously, the other party does not want to be discovered.

"Is it necessary to cover up?"

Jason stood at the door of the ward, his eyes staring into the darkness.

These eyes seem to have seen through the true face in the dark.

But the uninvited guest didn't think so.

"Of course it is necessary."

"I don't like standing in front of the stage."

"It's been like this since many years ago."

The other party let out a chuckle.

"many years ago?"

"Before becoming Edward's housekeeper? Or after becoming Edward's housekeeper?"

"Mr. Findilt."

Jason said lightly.

The voice was indifferent, but it was like thunder.

There was a rapid breathing in the darkness.

Even if it was fleeting, it was impossible to hide for the two of them at the moment.

After about a second of silence, the uninvited guest in the darkness no longer avoided the light. The other party took a step forward and walked to the place where the light could shine.

A familiar face entered Jason's eyes.

No more tuxedos, no white gloves and no pocket watches.

However, her gray hair was still meticulously groomed.

With the black safari-like costume, Fendilt in front of him had a sharper feeling.

Especially when Findielt looked at Jason.

The gentle gaze in memory has long since become as sharp as a sword.

"When did you find out?"

Fendilt asked in a low voice.

The nasolabial folds are deeply embedded in it, making the opponent's face sharpen.

"just."

Jason answered.

"just?"

"Is it because the last "strangeness" of the "Apostle" made you aware of my existence?"

Fendilt frowned.

He didn't quite believe that Jason could find such a "weird".

Although such 'abnormality' really exists, it is almost impossible to 'discover', because it involves a lot of 'ritual' power.

Not only did he target the 'apostles', but he also covered himself up.

More importantly, the two complement each other.

It is the kind of 1+1>2.

If Jason can really find him in this state, then it is impossible for him to succeed in the layout, and he has been discovered long ago.

"I fought with the 'Apostle', and I discovered its 'strangeness', but I'm not sure that the 'strangeness' was done by you, I can only be sure that someone is playing a ghost."

Jason said truthfully.

This made Fendilt even more curious.

Even the old butler had such a curious look on his face.

The sense of sharpness has weakened under such curiosity.

"When was that?"

"You didn't say it was when I pushed the door, did you?"

The old butler asked with a smile.

The sense of sharpness that had weakened completely disappeared under such a smile.

"I have a habit of thinking and recalling."

"Whenever something important happens, I think about and recall what happened recently."

"Although most of the time, there is no gain, but occasionally there is gain."

"And just after waking up, I was habitually thinking and recalling, and then, I unknowingly thought about it..."

"Edward."

Jason slowly said the name of the "Cherry City" who was once famous, and could even be said to be the king of the "Cherry City".

Facing the former employer and servant, the old butler kept a smile and didn't say a word. He just stood there, quietly waiting for Jason to continue.

"How did Edward get the power of the 'mysterious side'?"

"The records are very vague, and no one knows what happened."

"It can only be roughly inferred that after exhausting the family wealth, he obtained similar 'mysterious side knowledge'."

Jason relayed the information he had received earlier.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

The old butler asked in a puzzled voice.

"Of course not!"

"'Mysterious side knowledge' is very difficult to obtain, even if we as 'mysterious side people' want to obtain the corresponding knowledge, it is very difficult."

"And how hard would it be for an ordinary person?"

"I had guesses at the beginning, but there was also a slight omission - as a 'mysterious side person', I unconsciously ignored the real difficulty until I saw the wave wheel."

Jason said, adjusting his standing.

He went from standing up straight to leaning against the door frame with his shoulders folded.

"Bo Lun is the kind of extremely talented person I've ever met."

"Also, it's very smart."

"The economic strength is also the top one."

"Compared with Edward, except for the slightly inferior economic strength, the rest is much more than that, but even so, the process of pulsar acquiring the 'mysterious side knowledge' is extremely tortuous."

"Even, to a certain extent, without my help, it would be difficult for the pulsator to obtain the 'mysterious side knowledge' at all."

When Jason talked about the young man Porun, his tone was very admirable.

"What if it's luck?"

"The pulsator is unlucky."

"Edward is lucky."

The old butler retorted with some disapproval.

"Luck is also relative."

"And, in terms of probability, the luck of the pulsator should be better."

Jason shook his head.

"What's the reason?"

The old butler asked.

"opportunity!"

"Edward was in an era when the 'mystery side' was not really open to the public, while the pulsator caught up with the 'mystery side' and entered the ordinary people's field of vision."

"Under such a premise, who is more likely to obtain 'mysterious side knowledge'?"

Jason asked back, but the words didn't stop, he continued: "So, Edward should have obtained 'mysterious knowledge' through 'acquaintances', of course in the most normal way he recognized, for example: the old housekeeper found out Any special circumstances or something."

"Um."

"Edward has a lot of acquaintances."

"There are more close people."

"I?"

"Not the first choice."

"Why are you so sure it's me?"

The old butler nodded first, and then continued to ask his doubts.

"Because, I have seen you kill people."

"Faced with the killer sent by Pang Er, your neat and tidy methods are still fresh in my memory, especially when you have always maintained a polite attitude before, such contrasts and contradictions make me inexplicably familiar and make me think some guys."

"And these guys?"

"Every one is a 'serpent' character."

"Cold-blooded, vicious and cunning."

"I had a slight suspicion at the time."

As Jason said, he looked up and looked at the smiling old butler across from him.

"Doubt what?"

The old butler asked.

"Doubt you are acting!"

"Have you already discovered my peeping!"

"In other words, no matter who is peeping, you need to lead him to 'Edward' - Edward is the bait you throw out to attract attention and get out and hide behind the scenes."

Pop, pop!

The old butler applauded again.

There was admiration on his face.

"As expected of the 'Ship Slayer'."

Compared to the previous admiration that was similar to perfunctory things, this time the old housekeeper's admiration was much more real.

"So, am I doing this too much?"

"My arrangement made you suspect me."

"You can probably guess what happened after that?"

asked the old butler.

"You can probably guess."

"You are all for the 'Apostle' from beginning to end, right?"

"You need the 'Apostle' to come."

Jason nodded.

"I'm not a believer!"

The old butler emphasized.

"Of course you are not."

"A person who has arranged such a 'game' is not something that simple believers can do. You let the 'Apostle' come because you need the power of the 'Apostle'."

"It's no different from those greedy guys."

"The only difference may be that your ambitions are much bigger than theirs."

Jason said, twitching his nose.

There was no familiar 'scent', which made him sigh uncontrollably.

"You seem disappointed?"

The old butler was very concerned about this sigh.

"You don't know that the arrival of the 'Apostle' is only 5 minutes away, right?"

Jason asked.

Suddenly, a cold look appeared in the old housekeeper's eyes.

"Those guys only have faith in the so-called 'God' that they don't know, and there is no more 'information' at all. I cut several heads and couldn't find what I wanted."

"It just so happened that something happened to the 'ground' at that time."

"Some 'intruders' showed up."

"At the time they were far away and vague."

"But in my opinion, this is an opportunity."

"So I 'acquired' the identity of Findilt, I appeared beside 'Edward', and I 'guided' that fool onto my stage just right."

"What happened after that?"

"It's almost as you guessed."

"But have you thought about one thing?"

The old butler laughed again.

"what?"

Jason responded cooperatively.

"Why should I gossip with you here about this utterly useless stuff?"

"I'm procrastinating!"

As the old housekeeper said, he raised his right hand, pressed his thumb on the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger were naturally bent, and the index finger stood up, making a gesture like a 1.

But it is different from ordinary people's perception!

One by one, complicated 'pictures and words' began to appear at his fingertips.

Then, more 'Picture Repetition' appeared at his feet.

The picture and language at the fingertips and the feet glowed red almost at the same time.

Between the two echoing each other, an inexplicable power enveloped the entire ward.

Naturally, Jason is also in this range.

After doing all this, the old butler spoke again.

"I need time to start the 'Ritual'!"

"Then……"

"'Steal' the power you got from the 'Apostle'!"

The old butler said, a smile appeared on his face again.

However, it was different from the genial smile before.

This time the smile has become very...crazy!

A huge smile appeared on the old butler's face, exaggerated to the point that the apple muscles were split open, the pale teeth shone with a strange light, and the eyes were full of red blood.

"It's mine!"

The old butler announced loudly.

Immediately, a series of complicated words composed of 'pictures and words' appeared at Jason's feet like a fountain, and instantly enveloped Jason as if it were a cage.

Then, the old butler pointed his finger at Jason.

Immediately condensed a lot of 'Figure Fuyu' like a light, instantly connected with the 'Figure Fuyu' at Jason's feet.

And after connecting together, this light becomes a 'chain'.

It wrapped around the cage in circles.

Under the inexplicable force, it swells and shrinks, as if breathing is more like sucking.

The crazy old butler opened his arms.

He seems to be preparing for the peak of his life.

Then……

The expected power did not appear!

The old butler was stunned.

He looked at Jason who was 'bound' and raised his arm again.

But, still nothing happened.

This completely surprised the old butler.

He really saw it, Jason bit off a piece of the 'Apostle's Halo', and in this 'stealing power' ritual that he specially prepared for the 'Apostle', such power should flow to him like a tide. right.

But now?

Nothing at all.

This is impossible!

The ‘Apostle’s halo’ can be said to be the foundation of the ‘Apostle’ power.

Even if it is only a small part, it is enough for him.

Make it easy for him to reach his goal.

As for the 'ceremony' error?

That's even more impossible!

He had tried this 'ceremony'.

He tried it on the 'Apostle Wreck' he had found.

Even if the wreckage was only the size of a little finger, the power in it made him unforgettable to this day.

Let him change from a person of mediocre aptitude to an outstanding and powerful person.

After trying such an improvement, he couldn't stand the daily practice at all, so he would take advantage of the situation.

Where is the mistake?

Anxiety appeared on the frantic face of the old housekeeper.

The 'ritual' of 'stealing power' could not last any longer.

He had to find the crux of the problem before that.

And at this moment, there was a series of abnormal noises in front.

Whoa!

The chain suddenly made a burst of strange noises, and a pair of broad, thick palms stretched out from the chain, and with a slight push towards both sides, Jason's figure was revealed.

He stepped out.

"how is this possible!"

"How can you get rid of the shackles against the 'Apostolic Power'?"

"This is impossible!"

The old butler growled, his eyes full of disbelief.

Jason said indifferently—

"Have you heard of digestion?"
