Time returns to the present.
In the main laboratory of the laboratory, Richard stood on the ground and looked up at Gutas, who was stuck on the roof motionless for a while, making sure that he was dead.
I couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Although, due to previous research breakthroughs, Gutas' role is no longer that great. And because enough blood and other tissue parts have been obtained in advance, and only need to continue cell culture, Gutas can accept it even if he dies.
But no matter what, Gutas was a rare bloodline seed research subject, and it still hurt a little to be beaten to death by Pandora.
Besides, Pandora threw the opponent up with such force that the roof was damaged. It wouldn't be leaking, right
Richard thought about it, sighed again, and then quickly considered the follow-up steps.
There's no need to rush the roof matter, as the weather won't allow rain for a while, but the bodies need to be dealt with as soon as possible.
If Gutas' body was relatively intact, he might be able to freeze it and extract the remaining value. But now that Pandora has made him miserable, it would be better to find a way to make the opponent's humanity disappear.
Blinking his eyes, Richard thought of many good ways to disappear humanity: deep burial and degradation, incineration, acid etching...
However, each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and a common disadvantage is that it is more troublesome. In other words, in fact, the best and most trouble-free way to deal with Gutas' body is to let others handle it.
However, the person handling it must be relatively trustworthy.
Such as Gro. But if I let the other party handle it, I'm afraid I'll be scared to death before I even take action.
Such as Alex. The other party can also be trusted, but according to the other party's courage, I'm afraid it won't be much better than Gero.
So... Bucky
Richard thought of what Bucky had said in the library during the day. The other party had been emphasizing that he still owed two favors to him and had not repaid them. If he had any trouble, he could ask him for help.
Can the other party keep his word? Or maybe it's because you don't mean what you mean
Why not... use this opportunity to test it out.
Richard's eyes flashed, he looked at Pandora and said: "I'm going out for a while, you... well, just sleep well. There's no one for you to watch this time. Just don't make trouble or tear down the house." .”
"Scared!" Pandora climbed onto the bed and made a dissatisfied voice, as if to express some emotion, but the next moment she fell asleep.
Richard shook his head slightly and walked out of the door.
…
After a while, Richard returned.
After waiting for a while, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The knocks on the door were as promised, two long and one short.
Richard opened the door and saw a carriage with a carriage parked outside. There were two people standing next to the carriage - one was a sturdy Bucky, and the other was a muscular man slightly smaller than Bucky.
After seeing Richard, Bucky didn't waste any time and asked very concisely: "Where is the body?"
"In the yard." Richard said, pointing behind him - in the previous period, he had already found a way to remove the body from the roof and put it in the yard. After all, he really didn't want to explain to Bucky how a big living person got on the roof.
After listening to Richard's words, Bucky nodded, walked into the yard neatly, and saw Gutas' body lying on the ground in the yard.
In the darkness of the night, Bucky only took a cursory glance, and couldn't help but curl his lips, looking at Gutas' corpse with an extremely weird posture, showing some sympathy.
Turning to look at Richard, Bucky said, "Speaking of which, I know I shouldn't ask, but I'm a little curious, how did this person get into trouble with you and end up like this?"
"Well..." Richard said, "He climbed over the wall to steal things, and besides... he admitted that he had killed many people before. If I did this to him, um... it could be regarded as justice."
Bucky: “…”
Bucky did not continue to ask. He knew clearly that asking for more details was not helping at all, but enmity.
In fact, he was relieved that Richard could leave the disposal of the corpse to him. At least, this shows that Richard really regards him as a friend to a certain extent, so naturally he will not tell his secrets to others, especially Ruth.
Thinking of this, Bucky and his companions worked hard together to carry the body out of the yard and threw it into the carriage. He nodded to Richard and without saying anything else, he got on the carriage and left quickly, heading out of the city.
Bucky's companion drove the carriage, and Bucky stayed in the carriage with the body.
Out of boredom, Bucky carefully looked at Gutas' body in the carriage.
There was an oil lamp hanging in the carriage. Under the illumination of the light, Bucky could clearly see Gutas' appearance.
Seeing the obvious signs that Gutas had been tied up, he frowned.
Seeing the large number of pinholes on Gutas' body, he frowned deeply.
Seeing Gutas' broken bones, his brows furrowed into a knot.
Thinking of the book in Richard's hand when he met Richard in the library, Bucky couldn't help but trembled and said to himself: "Could it be... that the truth is like this? But by the way, what's in that book?" The most extreme way is not so cruel, right? This is a bit too much, I have never done this before... "
Then Bucky's eyes fell on Gutas' open mouth. He saw that the mouth was obviously a little deformed, as if something was often stuffed roughly into it, and the entire jaw was a little dislocated.
this…
Bucky looked at Gutas' mouth for a long time, then subconsciously looked down at a certain part between his legs, and slowly showed a look of horror: "Is it so powerful... Gudong!"
…
Richard was in the laboratory and had no idea what Bucky was thinking about. After simply cleaning the laboratory, he lit the oil lamp and sat down in front of the table.
Taking a deep breath, Richard calmed down and took out the book he got from the library girl today - "My Autobiography - Moratos" - from the space iron ring.
Putting the book on the table and opening it, Richard looked at it seriously.
But he read it carefully for a long time. Whether it was the magic tricks described or the evil methods of training slaves, Richard read it word for word. Even the hidden meaning was fully digested, but he did not find anything weird. The place.
"What is the reason for the reaction of the ancient ring?" Richard said to himself, the ancient ring on his finger continued to heat up, "What is the connection between this book and the ancient ring? What is the hidden content? , what is it? What secrets does the White Stone Tower hide?"
Richard frowned and kept thinking.
After a long time.
Richard turned the book to the last page and his eyes fell on a strange pattern on the last page.
The outermost part of the pattern is a black triangle. Inside the triangle, there is a circle. Finally, there is a line segment that passes vertically through the triangle and the circle, dividing the two evenly into two halves.
This reminded Richard of a certain wizard novel called "Harry Potter" on modern earth. In the novel, there is a similar pattern, which represents three powerful Deathly Hallows. In the words of the current world, they are three powerful magic props.
The triangle represents the invisibility cloak, the circle represents the magic book, and the line segment represents the Elder Wand.
That now represents...
Richard's eyes flashed, and he felt as if he had touched upon a little bit of the so-called secret of the White Stone Tower and caught a relevant clue.
