Jenkins has never been to Sal Five-Star Avenue, not only because that avenue is far away from his range of activities, but also because the southern part of the city is Nolan's largest slum settlement and mechanical parts trading business area, no matter in the past or now, His life trajectory has no intersection with there.
The apartment with sign number 09 was easy to find, and like most rental apartments in the city, it was unremarkable.
After Jenkins got out of the carriage with the chocolates, he stood across the street and looked up at the building, and then paid attention to the four stone statues crouching around the attic, then crossed the street, walked up the steps and knocked on the door. The owner here is obviously negligent, because the surface of the door is dirty, although there is no floating dust, there is a layer of dark yellow stains near the bottom of the door.
Soon, footsteps came from inside the door, and then the small sliding door at the upper center of the door was pulled open, revealing the face of a fat woman with a sallow complexion behind the door.
"Hi, sorry to interrupt, are John Williams and his classmates here? I'm delivering books to him."
As he spoke, he waved the "Introduction to Mechanics" in front of the small door.
"Williamette? Oh, yes, there was a child with that name."
"Great, can you call him out? I want to give him the book myself."
"Oh, sir, there's no need to bother, I'll just give him the book."
The woman had no intention of opening the door at all, but waved her hand in front of the small window, motioning Jenkins to roll up the book and stuff it in.
"Is that so?"
He was a little surprised, and wanted to insist, but worried that he was nervous, "But my mother asked me to hand it to him."
"Sir, don't waste everyone's time."
The woman immediately showed a displeased expression:
"Don't you suspect that I'm greedy for this book?"
"No no no, you misunderstood."
Jenkins smiled apologetically, rolled up the book with a blue cover, and handed it to the woman through the small window: "Then I will trouble you, ma'am."
"No, it's my pleasure."
She replied perfunctorily, and then closed the small window again with a bang. A few seconds later, Jenkins, with his ear pressed against the door, heard the sound of people going up the stairs.
"Shouldn't there always be accidents?"
He rubbed his little chocolate head as he walked from the front of the apartment back to the street. Chocolate meowed softly, which was a response to Jenkins.
Unlike before other unlucky things happened, he didn't feel anything strange at this time. But it is always safer to do things, and it is not yet three o'clock, he has plenty of time.
There happened to be a narrow alley next to the apartment at No. 9 Saal Five Star Avenue, which was used as a shortcut to connect this street with another block. Jenkins stood on the street for a while to buy a newspaper, and looked at the nearby shops before turning in there pretending to be inadvertent.
After confirming that there was no one at both ends of the alley, he patted the chocolate to signal it to pay attention, then quickly put the newspaper on the ground, sat on the newspaper and leaned against the wall, and activated the ability of the dream soul to leave the body.
It is very interesting to observe the world with the "vision" of the spirit body, especially as the level increases and the frequent contact with divinity, the high sensitivity of the soul determines that Jenkins can discover more details that are difficult to observe.
But the duration of his ability is not long. After all, the essence of this ability is to enter a dream rather than to leave the body. After "floating" into the building, he quickly passed through the rooms. students.
He was ready to return to his body before thinking, but happened to find a sleeping old man in the room on the second floor.
"Good luck."
He plunged headlong into the man's dream.
Jenkins rarely had the opportunity to use the ability to enter the dream. The last time he and Miss Miller fought against the two witches who attempted to invade the apartment were on the 31st.
But if the opponent is just an ordinary person, then relying on a powerful soul can easily change the dream at will, and it is not very difficult to obtain some information by "stealing dreams".
In the alley outside the building, Chocolate crouched on the man's shoulder, looking to the left and right of the alley with those big amber eyes. It waited until the man shivered violently, and then it lay down on the ground again.
"Young people nowadays really have no patience at all."
Having obtained the key information, Jenkins stood up holding his forehead, and patted the dust on the hem of his coat.
"I felt too tired from studying, so I went to the countryside together. I remember that John should not be such a person. What kind of friends does he make?"
In order to urge his brother to get back on track and be considered responsible for the current body, Jenkins boarded the carriage at the intersection again and went to the place where the group of young people went outing.
After crossing the whole city and walking along the country road for a long time, when I saw a sparse woodland from a distance, I knew I had finally arrived at my destination.
Nolan Private Third Preparatory Academy itself is an aristocratic school that only the children of nobles or big businessmen can study, so John's classmates are either rich or noble.
According to the information obtained from the dream, this forest farm is the private property of a girl named Madison, and she also proposed to go to the suburbs to breathe fresh air.
Let the coachman leave in advance, and after walking for a while at the edge of the forest farm, he found five carriages parked by the roadside, which should have brought the young people here. While the drivers smoked their cigarettes and chatted about the latest weather, no one noticed Jenkins.
He sighed, and stepped off the road into the forest area stepping on some wet soil. First bypass the coachmen, and then walk inward along the path in the forest.
He wasn't worried that they wouldn't be found. After all, no matter how daring they were, those students would have no reason to leave the path.
Sure enough, after walking for less than five minutes, I found a fresh apple that was thrown under the tree. One-third of the apple was rotten, which may be the reason why it was discarded.
Going forward, you can faintly hear noises. Walking forward quickly, it turned out to be a group of young people. A third of them were men. John and his friends walked a little ahead, listening to the voices, which seemed to be talking about Beldyland's lace news.
Considering that it is illegal to trespass on someone else's tree farm, Jenkins didn't show up, but patted his cat.
"Meow~"
It's not happy.
After gently scratching the cat's chin with two fingers for a while, it finally jumped off the shoulder reluctantly.
After standing still and waiting for two minutes, the cat ran over from a distance first, and then accompanied by the sound of stumbling footsteps, John also appeared.
PS: In the past two days, I am going to offer a reward and I am preparing.
