Although he was "lucky" to strike up a conversation with the "master" from the beginning, John still couldn't chat with him for long.
John knew very well that this was not just because the other party left because of something else - for him, it was just a superficial reason. The key ultimately was that he, John Stewart, did not have a job that was "equal" with the other party. The ability to talk.
Of course, he already knew this very clearly from the moment he decided to follow the team into this "human forbidden zone" to perform the mission.
Yes, as long as you do the best you can, that's enough.
only…
"If you want, just call me 'greedy'... By the way, I have a question I want to ask you first. What is the specific reason why you... or 'you' came here from the United States? Can you tell me?"
"Well... this... Well, it's nothing. I just want to investigate as soon as possible - you know, for us humans, this is an out-and-out disaster."
"Oh, is it so?"
"Of course."
"Is that so? Well... In fact, I still have information on hand that is somewhat related to you. Originally, I wanted to judge the value of this 'intelligence' to you based on your answer to the question I just asked. Is this good news or bad news... Unfortunately, from your answer, I still smell some 'false' and 'perfunctory'. Okay! It's no wonder, after all, we have only just met, so we still have to be wary enough. It's necessary... Well, Mr. Stewart must be tired after coming all the way, so go over there and have a good rest first! I have already told everyone that you are my invited guest, and everyone will entertain you well. I If you still have something else to do, let’s talk at another time!”

After having such a conversation, the tall and "ferocious" black figure walked towards the main door of the main hall and disappeared behind the half-open door.
John just subconsciously took a small step towards the other person's leaving figure, but in the end he didn't try to follow. Firstly, it was naturally because his mind had been mostly occupied by the surprise and doubt caused by the other party's last words; and secondly... To be honest, the pace of the other party's departure clearly didn't feel very fast in his eyes, but in his eyes, Only later did he realize that even if he wanted to catch up at that time, he probably wouldn't be able to.
"It doesn't matter whether he is the 'Despicable Haierbo' or not, at least this is definitely an... extremely dangerous guy!"
Although John has not really met the "ancient dark wizard Mr. Haierbo" until now, whether from an objective point of view or subjective intuition, he has already understood this "Lord of the Living Corpse Clan" He took the lead and moved to the same position as Haierbo.
"... And also, what are the 'good news' and 'bad news' that the guy mentioned just now?"
John, who had been stunned for a while, couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart. Then he opened his somewhat stiff legs and headed towards the girl who had left Bai Ye before, and who was also the "greedy" who finally stood up for him. Pointing in the direction of the side hall door, he walked cautiously step by step.
…
"Tea, please, Mr. Stewart."
At the long table in the corner of the side hall, John was sitting uncomfortably while watching the orange-red tea slowly pouring from the spout of the pot into the cup, exuding an elegant and refreshing grape-like aroma. After the tea set, there are two shelves of delicious-looking baked desserts, as well as the ice cream that "Mr. Greedy" mentioned earlier.
To be honest, this should have been a rather leisurely and relaxing tea break scene... Yes, it should have been like this.
However, both the "person" who poured him tea and his current situation were deeply inconsistent with this pleasant atmosphere.
"Thank you, thank you."
When John turned his head to express his gratitude to the "person" who poured the tea, the tea happened to fill the cup. The other party didn't know if he was accepting his politeness, but he lightly tapped the part that was probably his "head", then put down the exquisite teapot and "used all six legs" and stepped aside.
That's right, the person who poured him tea... seemed to be the living corpse of the "lady", with a total of four arms and six legs! Although it was a bit disrespectful to say this, to be honest, John still felt that the other person did not look like a human so much... in fact, it was somewhat similar to a spider - even though the limbs were obviously human.
Of course, although he was shocked enough, John could still hold on with his endurance. At least on the surface, he won't show any disrespectful attitude easily.
"You're welcome, Mr. Stewart. You are a distinguished guest invited by the master, so please enjoy the food with peace of mind! Don't be too restrained."
The gentle voice came from across the table. When John heard the voice, he immediately calmed down and nodded slightly towards the other party. At this moment, he was somewhat lucky. Apart from the "lady" who served him snacks and tea, the appearance of the person in front of him was the same as that of the girl named "White Night", and she was still basically similar to a human being. a feeling of.
The other party is actually the "eldest sister" in Bai Ye's mouth, that is, the person who was ordered by "Mr. Greedy" to entertain him.
"Hmm... oh, this tea is really good, I like it very much." John followed the instructions and took a sip from the teacup, savoring the fragrant and sweet taste of the obviously extremely high-end tea, and said with a particularly subtle mood. .
Look where you are sitting and drinking tea? Needless to say, the origin of this tea leaf and this tea set, you can guess it with your knees, right
But the other party's skill in making tea, and the fact that these are obviously freshly baked snacks today... Mr. Greedy seemed to have said before that ice cream was made by "Miss Hannah Abbott", so... these Are the refreshments probably taught by the humans who came here to these living corpses in front of them
"Um... Miss, I just heard 'Mr. Greedy' mention that there seem to be other humans here besides me? I don't know if they are now-"
John thought for a while, and finally chose to start with what he cared about most at the moment and try to open up the topic.
"Oh, are you talking about Miss Granger and the others?" the zombie girl opposite, one of the twins, replied calmly, "They just went out for business a few days ago. If Mr. Stewart wants to see them, I'm afraid he will have to wait. It’s been a while.”
Although the attitude and wording of the answer were very polite, John could hear a kind of rejection in the other party's words. This living corpse lady who seemed to be "easy to talk to" was obviously not willing to tell the story about those young British people. Tell yourself about the situation of "Yingjie"!
"Really...? What a pity!" John thought and grinned.
