The information Laura gave was quite detailed, but it was precisely because of the detail that there were no clues.
Crozier, who was last seen in public, once revealed that he recently had a new collection that he wanted to keep in his pocket. However, the information about the collection was not disclosed at all. According to the time, the "new collection" in his mouth at this time should be the later science. The Sword of Ermas.
"Buy the Sword of Colmars at a high price before the auction starts" - this is what most people don't know is the last time Crozer appeared in the outside world. After that, he should have returned home, and The artist took a portrait, which was the third collection of paintings hanging on the wall of the owner of the house that A Jin had visited before.
That picture has just more hilt of the sword of Colmarth than the other pictures.
However, Crozier's "widow" said publicly that the last time he left the house was in the Laura investigation report, the last time Crozier was seen publicly, and she lied.
Although he didn't understand why she was lying, as long as he knew that the sword was not on her now.
The information given by Laura stated the "widow"'s monster level. This beautiful female monster was only a middle-level monster, and her body could not bear the "power" of the sword.
If she owns the sword now, then her fate should be the same as the monsters in the auction hall: she almost died suddenly, and if she was better, her body would explode from the inside, and once the update speed could not keep up with the decay speed, or die.
Yet she still looked beautiful.
There was an eighty percent chance that the sword was on Crozer.
So the question came back to finding the whereabouts of Crozier.
Even Crozer, a high-level monster, would not necessarily resist if he carried that sword for a long time.
No, according to the analysis of the fact that he has disappeared now, he has not resisted the past 100%, but he should not be dead. If he is dead, the news of the sword will definitely be exposed in some form. The news that the sword of Colmars could not be found everywhere just proved that the sword should still be on him.
The current Crozier should be the same as himself who had absorbed the ring a while ago. The blood vessels burst open from the inside, constantly bursting, and then bursting again...
Just when Ah Jin was pondering where Crozhe would be now, when he was on a video call with Ji Huan a while ago, what Ji Huan said suddenly made him stunned.
"Ajin, have you seen a doctor?"
Yes!
it is this! This is it!
If you are sick or have strange symptoms in your body, you need to see a doctor—this is the normal practice of ordinary people or ordinary monsters!
He is used to enduring all the pain by himself, waiting for it to heal slowly. He is different. Crozer is a pampered high-level monster. Although he doesn't understand why he disappeared in front of the public, not even his wife, but as long as He is still alive, as long as he wants to be alive, there is a kind of person he will definitely meet—
doctor.
If there is an injury, there is a profession like a doctor, and the demon world is no exception. Crozer will definitely go to the doctor. Since he does, he will definitely leave clues.
The probability that Crozier will leave a clue with the doctor is over 90%!
Thinking about this quickly in his mind, A Jin immediately searched the Internet for a famous dermatology hospital.
He didn't need to know which doctor Crozier went to, and he didn't need to go to great lengths to find out which hospital he went to. It is possible to get real news that way, but it is too slow—
What's more, even if it is true news, it must be identified from a considerable number of false news.
Too much trouble.
For a person who is desperately trying to hide his whereabouts, instead of trying to find a needle in a haystack, let him find it himself.
He has ready-made conditions.
With a calculation in mind, Ah Jin took no luggage, but only a book, and set off on the journey leisurely.
Expose the wounds on the body and let the doctors examine and treat them, and then as the wounds slowly "get better", something must happen.
There are not many people with the same "sickness" as him, and Crozier happens to be one of them.
The whereabouts of a person may be a secret, but things like symptoms and illnesses are not. After the same symptoms are released for people to see, the information that he can receive will be "removing the false and keeping the true".
Due to the strange symptoms of the body, Crozier is bound to see doctors, and his symptoms will be remembered by some doctors.
In fact, as the number of doctors who consulted for him gradually increased, several of them have revealed in their words that they had seen patients with "similar symptoms, but more severe".
"However, the original treatment plan did not make him better. The cost of long-term hospitalization was very high, and he later went to live elsewhere." ← Although the description of being unable to afford the hospitalization costs does not quite fit with Crozier's setting, however, A Jin had a hunch that this person should be Crozer.
Then, just after he "slowly got better," he did see Crozier.
"Hello sir, how did you use the medicine, is your previous situation really the same as that of Crozier?" The loud-voiced female monster rambled and consulted, but she did not expect Crozier to use a pseudonym in front of her. It's good, it doesn't even seem to need confirmation.
Looking up from the book in her hand, Ajin smiled and glanced at the female monster, and then realized that she moved straight to the tall and thin cloaked monster behind her.
"Hello, Mr. Crozier Guertas."
"Hey? Sir, why do you call Crozer so solemnly... Wait... How do you know Crozier's full name, you guys... know each other?" The female monster was obviously still out of the situation, looking at the man in front, and then again She was at a loss as to the cloak monster behind her.
"Introduce myself, my full name is Jin Moffett Fairzaha, I've been waiting here for Mr. Crozier... It's been a long time." The thin black-haired monster on the hospital bed introduced himself with a smile. Obviously he didn't do anything, however, the cloaked monster on the opposite suddenly took a few steps forward as if he was facing an enemy, using his tall and thin body to block in front of the five big and three thick female monsters, he said solemnly:
"Lydia, wait for me outside."
"Hey! Why are you calling me by my first name again? How many times have I told you that you are going to call me Lady Lydia or Boss!"
"Understood, Lydia, wait for me outside." The cloak monster continued.
The atmosphere between the two male monsters was already quite tense, to the point of being on the verge of breaking out. No matter how slow the female monster was, she knew that something was wrong.
"I'm just outside, call me for something." After looking at the two male monsters, Ms. Lydia finally walked out of the door of the ward as Crozer said.
There were only two male monsters left in the room.
"Are you sent by Lini to kill me?" The cloak covering his face was removed from the top of his head, and the man in the cloak finally revealed the following true face:
The well-known Duan Li face in the world has completely disappeared! Under the cloak was a rather terrifying face, just like how Ah Jin had absorbed the energy in the ring some time ago, but it was even more serious!
The man's entire face no longer has a piece of intact skin, part of the white bone is exposed, and part of it hardened into a dark red scab.
However, the iconic blond and blue eyes made Ah Jin instantly recognize his identity.
The name Rini sounded familiar to him, but Jin quickly remembered where she had seen it: Rini Guertas—that was Mrs. Crozier's full name.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and before he could continue to speak, Crozer, who was opposite, spoke first:
"I'll go with you. It doesn't matter where you want to end my life after that, but before that, please let me and the women outside resign."
Ajin still smiled slightly.
The ugly monster on the opposite side trembled, obviously more nervous.
"She doesn't know anything about the past, so don't do anything to her!"
"you-"
"I'm not some kind of killer sent by Lini. It seems that you haven't read the news for a long time. If you have read the newspaper recently, you will know my identity." With a wave of his hand, Ah Jin signaled the monster on the opposite side to calm down. He introduced slowly:
"I'm an antique lover, and I've been looking for news about the sword of Colmars a while ago, and then, based on various clues, I think that sword is now on you."
The ugly monster on the opposite side trembled slightly again.
Seeing his reaction, A Jin once again proved a certain speculation in his heart, without making a statement, he continued: "Let's make a price, I want to buy this sword from you."
The ugly monster on the opposite side showed a rather complicated expression.
Of course, at this moment his facial muscles have been corrupted, and it is completely unable to support him to make any expressions, all the emotions are in those blue eyes.
The dark-eyed master let him watch.
Until after half an hour—
"That sword... is indeed on me. If I could, I would like to sell it to you immediately, but..."
The ugly monster slowly opened his body. Under the cloak, his upper body was completely naked. Since his body was severely corrupted, even the softest clothes would make him miserable. He had been relying on a cloak every day to go out for a long time.
It was quite unimaginable for Crozier, who used to wear nothing but the finest clothes, but the fact is that he not only did it, but also did it for more than 50 years.
The condition of the body under the cloak was worse than his face, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as riddled with holes.
Ah Jin could even see his heart through his bare ribs.
Although the body has been corrupted, his heart is still strong, beating with a drum, pressing fresh blood into this exhausted body.
"Over fifty years ago, I bought that sword desperately, and I gave it to Lini at dinner in the evening, and then..."
"Rini stabbed that sword into my chest on the spot."
"I didn't know she didn't like me so much."
"She thought I was dead and left my body outside, but for some reason, I didn't die.
In a few words, Crozer recounted what happened after purchasing the Sword of Colmarth.
"But you have also seen it: although I am not dead now, it is no different from being dead."
"The sword disappeared after Lini pierced my chest, only the hilt remains, the blade... It may have rotted in my body. The flesh and blood of our family can dissolve anything, and that sword is probably already gone. Did it dissolve
I'm sorry, although I really want to agree to your request, but I can't, that sword is no longer with me now. "
Although embarrassed, Mr. Crozier still speaks politely, and the shadow of the original can be seen everywhere.
The stagnant eyes stared at Crozier in front of him. The black-haired man who had been sitting on the bed suddenly got out of bed and slowly approached Crozier step by step. Facing the man's pressing step by step, Crozier had a heart palpitation. Reflexively, he backed up until his back leaned against the wall, his right hand rested on the wall beside his face, and the pale face of the dark-haired man was close to him.
"No, you can do it, that sword is on you now." He said, pressing his left hand on his rotting chest without paying attention.
"You should be glad that you gave Lini this sword."
"The Sword of Colmars is an invisible sword. Its body is completely made of energy. If it is stabbed, the body of the sword will turn into energy and instantly inject it into the body of the stabbed party."
"This is the power of the Demon King, but being stabbed represents not hatred, but love."
"The translation of this sword is wrong, the response of the word я here should not be "sword", but "love". Colmarth means "gift" in the ancient language, and the real name of this antique should be the gift of love. "
"It seems that you can't bear the love of the Demon King..."
The black-haired man's icy hand was already pressing on his heart, and Crozier's heart was thumping, beating faster and faster. The other party was obviously just a monster of the same gender with a body and height similar to himself, but he felt extremely With a great sense of oppression, he can smell the breath of the other party.
It was a very cold, but strangely sweet taste.
He thought of honey.
Like an ancient tree that has grown for thousands of years, there is a golden honey in the trunk. This sweetness is sealed under the rough trunk, and no one has known it for a long time. dripping out...
Cold, seductive, mysterious...
"My body... will become like this... Is it because of that sword... no... that love?" Under this extremely powerful pressure, Crozier actually persisted and continued to ask.
"Yes."
"If... take it away... will I be fine?"
"Yes."
"Please take it away!" Trembling, Crozer said to the black-haired man opposite. The moment he said these words, a powerful suction suddenly came from the left palm of the opponent's only body in contact with him!
A storm-like force rushed from his body to the opponent's left palm, and Crozier felt that he had instantly turned into a piece of paper. Countless meteors flew from one side to the other, and he was beaten into a sieve.
There are more and more flaws in the body, and finally—
His piece of paper doesn't exist at all!
A violent force swept through the unconscious Crozer and Jin.
Unlike Crozer, Ah Jin's entire body was in a state of mad surprise for this violent infusion of power.
As if he had been thirsty for a long time, his body was madly absorbing this force, even if his body became fragmented again.
When the last drop of force was absorbed, the black-haired man let out a soft sigh.
"Forgot to ask, how much do you want me to pay for this sword?"
When he left with his left hand, Crozer, who could only stand under his palm, fell softly to the ground. Looking down at the tall and thin man lying naked in a cloak on the ground, Ah Jin asked softly.
"One hundred million... fifty million... Jinzhu... This... was the price I bought it at the time." Looking at the ceiling with dull blue eyes, Crozer said weakly.
"Fine, I'll transfer the money to your account later."
"The deal is done."
—
The door of the ward opened, and Lydia, who had been nervously watching the movement in the ward, immediately looked at the opened door.
The one who came out was Fei… Mr. Fei Zaha, Crozier was helped out by him, and he looked like he had fainted.
"What's wrong with Crozer? God! He fainted again?" Lydia hurried over, and the black-haired man immediately handed the male monster in his hand to her.
Seeing the female monster with infinite power slapping and hugging a high-level male monster, Ajin touched her chin: This is the legendary princess hug, right
It looks pretty good.
"I just told him all the treatment methods, go back and try it out, maybe he will be fine this time."
With a slight smile, Ah Jin waved goodbye to the two monsters, then closed the door and returned to the ward.
When he was back on the hospital bed, a wave of weakness swept over him instantly.
Really weak this time.
This "sword" contains more energy than the ring last time. Although it has the energy of the previous ring as a foundation, it is still a bit reluctant for him now.
She closed her eyes and lay on the bed for a while, feeling some wet liquid sliding down her face, Ah Jin took out her phone and used the phone's selfie lens as a mirror to take a look.
Sure enough, the skin began to fall off again.
Ha ha... just get used to it.
He closed his eyes again, and the soft quilt under his body was very comfortable.
He remembered the past.
The phone rang, opened his eyes again, and when he opened the phone to check, he saw a new text message.
"?" There is only a question mark, the sender is "Xiao Hua", and the picture is a teenager washing eggs.
Hehe, don't get me wrong, the eggs here are black eggs, and the photo was probably taken by Callas, and the location seems to be a bathtub.
After thinking about it, Ah Jin dialed the phone.
It's not a video call, he doesn't want the teenager to see what he looks like at the moment.
Scary.
The call was quickly connected.
"A Jin." The young man's voice was very nice, and A Jin felt that he liked the tone of the other person's voice when he called him A Jin.
"Good afternoon." Jin said with a smile.
"The phone is at home, and I just saw your text message, what's wrong?" The boy was straight to the point as always.
"Oh... I've been looking for someone for a long time, but I couldn't find it for a long time. As a result, I went to the hospital according to your suggestion, but I met him in the hospital." Very lightly, Ah Jin put himself and Crozier together. The encounter is explained as such.
"Hospital? Is your health still good?" The teenager noticed a different meaning.
"Well, it's still a little uncomfortable, but it will get better after a while." A Jin said honestly.
This time the damage is mainly inside the body, and it is estimated that it will be slower to heal.
On the other end of the phone, the boy didn't speak for a long time.
Then-
"Ajin, if you've been feeling unwell, or... go home, I'll cook soup for you." After a long time, the boy's voice sounded again.
"But, that's your home now." A Jin said honestly, thinking that the name of the house deed had been changed to that of a teenager.
"But... this is also your home, that... your room has always been reserved for you, and no one has ever entered it."
"Are you hospitalized alone? Don't live in a single ward. It's not good if the nurse doesn't notice it. It's better to switch to a multi-person ward... "
The young man said a few more words, Ajin listened slowly, and he fell asleep with the company of his voice.
Then, after a very long time, he had a dream.
In the dream, he returned to Yefaer Street. In that house, he was sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper, and then the boy was cooking soup in the kitchen.
After a while, a pot of soup with a strange aroma came out.
"This is a soup made from Dabai's meat." The boy introduced.
what…
Having this kind of dream means that he... Wants to eat pork
After waking up, A Jin found that the phone hadn't been hung up. Hearing the steady breathing of the boy on the other end of the phone, A Jin thought for a while, and then charged an extra 10,000 Jincun for the phone bill.
