Chapter 118: SSS-Level Wanted Criminal From a Thousand Years Ago

five minutes.

"here we go."

The scenery in front of Jiang Bai changed, and he returned to the hot pot restaurant again.

"You're new here, why are you still hanging around..."

The shop owner’s shouting was interrupted by Jiang Bai.

"Bring me a beer, two glasses, and a pack of cigarettes."

The shop owner was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the new chef to come suddenly like this.

Before the shop owner could refute, Jiang Bai pointed at the nightingale in the couple's mandarin duck pot.

"Charge it to her account."

The shop owner looked over with questioning eyes. Unexpectedly, Nightingale nodded and agreed with Jiang Bai's statement.

Soon, what Jiang Bai wanted was delivered to him.

Jiang Bai walked towards Zhang Baota with a wine bottle in one hand and a wine glass in the other.

He was not idle during this time and glanced around again.

In addition to the previous slogans, there are still two red numbers on the wall:

4:45.

17.

4 minutes and 45 seconds is a countdown, which is easy to understand.

17?

Last time, the number on the wall was 8, and only 8 people survived in the end.

Does this mean that 17 people will survive this time?

Jiang Bai remembered that the store owner mentioned that he had three chances.

Only 8 people survived the first time, but 17 survived the second time. Could I have made a mistake?

A third chance?

Burying his doubts deep in his heart, Jiang Bai slapped the wine glass on the table, startling Zhang Baota.

The little old man had gray hair and was used to hunching his back. At this moment, he felt guilty. His heart almost burst out of his chest when he was frightened by Jiang Bai.

"Lao Zhang, have a drink."

Jiang Bai opened the beer bottle with his teeth, filled two glasses, and drank one glass himself.

Zhang Baota was stunned at first. He didn't recognize the young man in front of him at all, but he looked like he was very familiar with him.

He reached for another glass of beer, but Jiang Bai stopped him, "You don't have any wine yourself!"

Zhang Baota:? ? ?

Did you bring two cups here, both for yourself?

Zhang Baota looked at the liquor in his hand and then at Jiang Bai's beer, his expression even more confused.

Let’s toast to liquor with beer, one drink for you and one for me, right? !

But for some reason, Lao Zhang actually poured himself a full cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay, that's enough man."

Jiang Bai gave a thumbs up, took out the pack of cigarettes, opened them skillfully, and knocked out one.

"Do you want to smoke?"

"No smoking, quit smoking."

After drinking a glass of white wine, Lao Zhang felt that his throat was burning, and he said with the help of the wine,

"I think you're quite young to smoke this thing..."

"I don't smoke. I buy them for others. Besides, I'm not young anymore."

As he spoke, Jiang Bai put a cigarette behind his ear.

Judging from his smooth and smooth movements of unboxing, blowing, toasting, and holding cigarettes, even Zhang Baota would not believe it if he said Jiang Bai didn't know how to smoke!

Huh?

Feeling the reward brought by Youlong, Jiang Bai was a little surprised, "Who did I deceive again?"

Strange, why do you say it again?

Zhang Baota said he quit, but still took the cigarette in his hand. He hesitated for a moment, and finally followed Jiang Bai's example and put the cigarette behind his ear.

After drinking with Zhang Baota, Jiang Bai came to the Yuanyang table with another glass and kicked Xiao Zhao's bench.

"While you're at it, I have something to say with you, Sister Ying."

Jiang Bai's behavior cannot be said to be rude, it is simply rude.

Considering that he was on a mission, Xiao Zhao subconsciously wanted to draw his gun and aim it at Jiang Bai, but he was slapped away by the other party.

Jiang Bai slapped the pistol away and said casually,

"This slap is from me for you, Sister Ying. You're welcome."

Last time, Xiao Zhao also pointed his gun at Jiang Bai.

Xiao Zhao stood up in a flash, his face flushed and furious, "You!"

Before Xiao Zhao could get angry, Nightingale stopped him.

"Xiao Zhao, go sit next to me."

Faced with Jiang Bai's provocation, to everyone's surprise, Nightingale did not take action. Instead, she took a completely incomprehensible move.

"Everyone, stop moving!"

Sitting in front of the Yuanyang Pot, Jiang Bai did not pick up the wine glass immediately, but looked at Nightingale,

"There are still 3 minutes and 50 seconds left. I have a question to ask you. You need to think about the answer first. After I finish drinking this glass of wine, you have to tell me the answer."

Nightingale frowned, feeling that the other party's words were completely incomprehensible!

After thinking for a few seconds, Nightingale spoke calmly,

"If you want an answer, at least... you should tell me the question first!"

"Yeah?"

Jiang Bai did not ask questions immediately, but picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said leisurely,

"The last time we met, I didn't need to spend time convincing you at all. You cooperated almost perfectly with all my actions and executed every one of my orders. No matter how ridiculous what I said, you would believe it..."

The more Jiang Bai said, the more confused Nightingale became.

She couldn't help but interrupt,

"According to what you said, our time is limited. Sir, if you have any questions, please ask directly. Going in circles like this is just a waste of all of our time."

"That's it..."

Jiang Bai drank the beer in one gulp, put the glass back on the table, and said something incomprehensible,

"I am Jiang Bai."

For a moment, Nightingale's pupils narrowed slightly, and even if she tried her best to control it, she could not escape Jiang Bai's eyes.

Regarding Nightingale's last unconditional trust, Jiang Bai had many guesses:

Where had Nightingale seen him before, or had she seen his photo? Did something he said gain Nightingale's trust?

Jiang Bai was a person with mild paranoia. He would never trust others easily. In Jiang Bai's eyes, others would not trust him for no reason.

Especially Jiang Bai knew that his statement was particularly absurd in the eyes of normal people. Xiao Zhao's reaction was normal, but Nightingale behaved abnormally!

And the reason for this abnormality was the truth that Jiang Bai wanted to find out!

After a simple test, Jiang Bai found that Nightingale did not recognize his face.

This time, Nightingale's cooperation came more from the control of the situation, keeping his troops still and watching the changes.

"My question is very simple..."

Then, excluding the wrong answer, Jiang Bai only had one guess left,

"Where have you heard my name?"

Jiang Bai was the key word to gain Nightingale's trust. It was an ordinary name, but not so ordinary.

Because it was the name of the third generation of Higurashi.

Jiang Bai put the empty wine glass on the table and waited for Nightingale's answer.

He won't wait too long, he doesn't have much time, and he believes that Nightingale will tell him the answer in person.

For the first time, Nightingale's calm face showed a struggling expression.

You know, last time, even when facing death, Nightingale was very calm, without such abnormality.

What is she struggling about, even more than life and death?

Jiang Bai is getting more and more curious about Nightingale's answer.

After hesitating for a long time, Nightingale finally made up her mind and told him everything she knew,

"I did see the name Jiang Bai... on a wanted list."

Looking directly into Jiang Bai's eyes, Nightingale said word by word,

"International SSS-level wanted criminal, [Puppet Master], Jiang Bai."
