Chapter 46 I Have a Date with a Pigeon

"You are still too young and don't know how to enjoy it.

The uncle sneered, opened the slightly moldy bottle cap, and faced the bottle with a "gurgling" sound.

"Ha~ cool~"

After a few swigs, the uncle's mouth left the bottle.

Arno glanced at it and saw that half of the liquid inside was gone.

"How about it? You want to take a bite too? Are you very happy?"

The uncle noticed Arno's gaze, walked over affectionately and handed the bottle to Arno.

His dirty face was a little red from drinking.

"No, no need."

Arno pushed the bottle away.

Even from a distance, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol.

"What's the matter? Let's warm ourselves up with a few bites."

The uncle refused to give up and directly pointed the mouth of the bottle at Arno's mouth, trying to force it in.

Arnold had never encountered this method of pouring wine.

"Hey, I'm talking about you——"

Jim saw this and reluctantly tried to stop him.

However, before he came to Arno, a hand suddenly appeared and snatched away the uncle's wine bottle.

"What should you drink? It's better to drink yourself to death later, right?"

"It's not enough that you want to die, but you also want to force others to do so?"

A somewhat cold voice came from the side.

Arno noticed that the uncle's expression changed as soon as he heard this voice.

His face, which was originally red from drinking, immediately turned a little blue, and his eyes began to wander.

This is caused by shame and fear.

"Are you okay? You don't have to force yourself to cooperate with this uncle."

Arno looked up and saw a plainly dressed woman speaking to him.

Due to the lighting, her face was covered by a large shadow, making it difficult for Arnold to see clearly.

In her hand, she still held the wine bottle she had just snatched from the uncle.

"Thanks."

Arno thanked him.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen you before. New here?"

The woman's eyes stayed on Arno's face for a while and asked.

"Well, I just came today."

Arnold made an introduction to Kuso and Huck on the left and right sides.

"These two came with me, Kuso on the left and Huck on the right."

The two turned their heads and nodded to the woman, then looked at the swaying flames again.

"Eileen."

The woman didn't care about Kuso and Huck's actions, smiled, and extended her hand to Arno.

"Erin Kulhana."

"Lan."

Arno gently shook Eileen's hand.

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Compared with the hands of other poor people, Irene's hands seemed softer and not shriveled due to years of malnutrition.

The warm temperature makes it a bit comfortable to hold.

"Eileen, did you meet Frank when you came in?"

At this time, Jim hurriedly came over and asked.

"Frank? No, what happened to him?"

Erin's eyes flashed with disgust, and she replied in a cold voice.

"He disappeared and didn't say hello to us."

"I'm afraid something happened to him."

Jim said worriedly.

"What could happen to him like that?"

Erin waved her hand casually and said instead,

"I came back this time because I have another important matter, Frank's matter. I will tell him when I meet him later."

"Then, that's it."

After saying that, Erin turned and left.

Jim stayed where he was and stretched out his hand towards Eileen's back, but in the end he still didn't speak.

"Go and find out about the relationship between Erin and Jim."

Arno lowered his voice and said to Kusuo.

Kusuo nodded slightly.

"Also, get this drunkard out of here."

Arno pointed at the uncle who started snoring at some point.

Kusuo understood, stood up, pulled the uncle and walked not far away.

"Then what do I do?"

asked Huck on the right.

"I said, don't do anything. I will tell you anything."

Arno replied.

His eyes looked in the direction Erin left.

The open space was so big that it was unobstructed, and her figure was quickly spotted by Arno.

In addition to Erin, there were dozens of people surrounding her.

I couldn't see clearly what his face looked like, but the clothes on his body were all in tatters, so he must be a poor man.

However, those people did not come over to say hello, so they must not be poor people in this place, but just happened to gather here.

When Arno looked at them, they happened to start moving.

Unsurprisingly, the leader was Irene, who led those people towards a corner of the open space.

And that place was in the direction of the gap in the building that Fatty had taken Arno to before.

"Found it."

Arno smiled lightly.

Huck, who had been paying attention to Arno's expression, was stunned and felt that Lann's smile was extremely scary.

It's almost like,

——That same devil.

At this moment, Kusuo came back.

He sat down in his original position, looked at the swaying bonfire, and whispered.

"I found out, Jim and Eileen are brother and sister."

"But Irene doesn't come back often, she's usually outside."

When Arno heard this, his smile became even stronger.

"Have you ever asked what Erin is doing outside?"

"I tried to ask, but they were a little shy about it, and no one answered."

Kusuo said.

"I see. You've worked hard."

Arno patted Kuso's shoulder and stood up.

"Where are you going?"

Huck asked nervously.

"Nothing, just going to the bathroom, together?"

"..."

Arno smiled and turned away.

When he passed by Jim, he deliberately glanced at his face with his peripheral vision.

Sure enough, Jim was still staring blankly in the direction where Irene had gone before.

I don't know if he was thinking about Irene or worrying about Frank.

But these were not important to Arno.

He walked slowly, not being noticed by anyone.

A middle-aged poor man with an ordinary appearance was not noticeable here.

Arno stopped until he was a distance away from the bonfire where everyone had gathered.

At this moment, his figure had been completely swallowed up by the darkness.

Even if he stood a few meters away, he might not be able to be found.

"Coo~"

A pigeon called nearby, and the pile of weeds in front of Arno moved twice.

"Coo~"

A pigeon called softly and carefully poked its head out of the weeds, as if it was on guard against something.

It flapped its wings twice until it saw Arno's figure, and flew to the height of Arno's waist.

"The little guy is quite smart, knowing how to hide."

Arno smiled and shook his head, and stretched out his hand to the pigeon.

"Coo~"

The pigeon flapped its wings and landed steadily in the palm of Arno's hand.

"Have the people sent by Ivy arrived?"

"Coo~"

"Is that so? Ten people have come, which is almost enough."

"Coo~"

"Is there any new information inside the Corrector? Let me go there immediately after I solve this matter?"

Arno touched his chin.

"Well, anyway, I was planning to go see her later."

"As for now..."

Arno touched the pigeon's head.

"Let those hot-blooded young men start to act."

"Remember, don't kill the woman in the lead."

"Gugu~"

"The others? Let them handle it, but it's best to kill them all."
