After seeing Jason stop, the tall, strong woman also stopped.
"Hey, is this the end?"
"I lost again."
"You run so fast."
While saying this, the other party stretched out his hand to Jason.
"Get to know me, I'm Arras, the bounty hunter."
The tall, strong woman introduced herself.
Jason didn't raise his hand.
He is not used to shaking hands with strangers.
Still, Jason replied.
"Jason."
Aras didn't care about Jason's attitude. After hearing Jason's self-introduction, this tall and strong woman put her chin on one hand and muttered to herself: "Jason? Jason? I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
"Have you heard the name before?"
Jason asked back.
At the same time, he immediately thought of his [background] introduction.
There are repeated references to 'him' and 'rumours'.
Jason was very concerned about these rumors about him.
Because, this will affect how he integrates into this world.
"Um."
Alas nodded, wrinkled his beautiful almond eyes, and began to recall: "There was a legend about the 'undead' in the underground world before. According to the rumor, he was the younger brother of a certain noble lord, because he wore a A mask, thus gaining the ability of immortality, once in a certain city, because of some things, he fought against the local army, wiped out an entire chariot regiment, and even destroyed most of the city."
The younger brother of a great nobleman
mask
Against the reorganized tank regiment
Is this an excerpt of my experience in [Crab Meat Salad] and [Crispy Roll] and integrated it into the rumors
Jason frowned.
He subconsciously thought of the short sentence that appeared in the black notebook when he entered the copy world in front of him.
[Some foods are not born alone.]
[They need to cooperate.]
[even though…]
[Before, it was difficult to eat!]
[Remember: This is your appetizer with wine and drinks]
…
"Match?"
"This is the match?"
Jason frowned.
The situation in front of him was not good for him.
Because of such rumors, his biggest hole card has been exposed.
Moreover, regarding his experience, it is not known how much has been exposed.
This feeling suffocated Jason.
An inexplicable sense of urgency began to surround Jason.
I need to be stronger!
Only with greater strength can we cope with the immediate crisis!
so…
I want to eat!
"Where did you go?"
Jason asked.
"Before?"
"I accepted the client's task and asked me to investigate a special mansion."
"I went around the periphery and checked it roughly, but I didn't find much."
"Jason, are you interested?"
Aras didn't ask, but looked at Jason with interest.
When Jason nodded, Alaston laughed.
"Very good!"
"Now we are collaborators!"
"I'm still worried that I can't handle it alone... I, I, am not timid, but I am a little afraid of such weird things."
Aras lowered his head, his two thick fingers kept colliding, and when there was a muffled sound of 'bang bang bang', the whole person spoke with a little coyness.
Jason glanced at the other party silently, and suddenly there was a feeling of displeasure between his chest and abdomen.
You are the scariest one, right
Do those strange things dare to appear in front of you
Aren't you afraid that your neck will be broken
Jason's heart was full of cries, but he didn't say it in the end.
However, Jason was still curious.
"You seem to trust me?"
Jason asked.
"Um."
"Jason is not a bad guy."
"When we met for the first time and when we met for the second time, Jason, you were eager to leave, but facing my pursuit, you just left, but you never used your weapon to hurt me."
Arras gave an 'I'm witty' smile.
Then the tall, strong lady scratched her head in disbelief.
"Know that people's muscles can only fight against small-caliber firearms, such as shotguns and automatic rifles, and they will still hurt people."
she said so.
Against small caliber firearms
Jason was taken aback. .
He also has the defense against small-caliber firearms, but he only obtained it after the fusion of [Prussian Body Forging Art] and [Griffin Body Forging Art].
But the other party
Jason looked at Arras' strong muscles.
Is it similar to body forging
Or simply muscle strength
The former Jason is not surprised, but if it is the latter...
That would be really amazing!
Because that means being as talented as him!
It's just that he can't ask about such things.
Everyone has secrets.
He doesn't want others to know his secret.
The same goes for others.
Facing his collaborators, Jason has always been fair.
"Where is that mansion?"
Jason got straight to the point.
"It's on the outskirts of the city."
"Shall we go now?"
Arras asked.
"I'm in a hurry."
Jason answered like this.
After having such an answer, the two of them didn't stay in this block any longer. Following behind Arras, Jason headed out of the city very smoothly.
Along the way, Arras not only avoided the probe, but also avoided some patrolling police cars.
All of this seems to be done with ease.
"You know, I'm a bounty hunter."
In response to Jason's inquiring gaze, Arras pointed to himself with a thumbs up.
Then, when he was actually leaving the city, he made a phone call.
It is given to that employer.
"We will arrive at the mansion in about 30 minutes."
"Okay, see you then."
Aras put down the handset of the payphone and walked towards Jason.
"Our employer is nearby."
"Let's just go straight."
As Aras said, he strode forward.
After Jason nodded, he followed.
"Jason, are you strong?"
"Don't deny it."
"The first time I saw you on the platform on the second floor, I could feel your strength."
"Just like the first time I faced a lion when I was a kid."
The two walked side by side, and Aras couldn't help but said.
"And what about the lion?"
Jason asked about the part he was interested in.
"It became my friend."
"It was not happy at first, but after I punched it twice, it agreed."
"But then it died of old age, and I buried it under a tree."
"Then come to the big cities to look for opportunities."
Arras replied.
"Aren't you from Angcheng?"
Jason asked in surprise.
Arras' accent and familiarity with Angcheng made him think that the other party was a local.
"I'm half from Angcheng. My mother is from Angcheng. She inherited my grandfather's boxing gym. My father came to the boxing gym to challenge. After being punched twice by my mother, he became my father— My dad said he felt a heartbeat at the time."
"However, my father is not in good health. We have always lived in the country. My father died of myocardial infarction a few years ago. My mother was very sad and went to explore the world alone."
"Long time no news."
"I only had Xiao Miao as my companion. Later, Xiao Miao died of old age, so I came to Angcheng."
When Alas said this, a look of sadness appeared on his cheerful face.
Seeing Arras's gloomy feeling, Jason looked ahead.
He didn't tell Arras that her father probably chose to sell himself to redeem his life after feeling the breath of death.
Feeling excited
That's a real heart attack!
Looking at Arras, Jason could imagine what the other's mother looked like.
Sadness comes quickly and disappears quickly.
After just taking two steps, Arras returned to that cheerful look again. She happily ran back and forth beside Jason, looking around curiously from time to time.
Then, he picked up the weeds on the side of the road and threw them into his mouth.
Then, spit it out again.
There's nothing wrong with it, she just wants to eat something.
Jason looked indifferent.
He has encountered enough strange things, and he has long been familiar with them.
The two moved on.
Within 30 minutes of Arras' notification, Jason saw a mansion.
A mansion built by the lake.
The whole presents a neo-gothic style, but what Jason cares most about is the tower inside the courtyard wall.
Jason was a little dazed when he saw the tower. He seemed to see the buildings in his hometown. However, when he looked closely, he could find that the tower was specious.
The combination of the overall Gothic style and hometown elements makes the whole mansion weird.
An inexplicable atmosphere hangs over here.
Even under the setting sun in the afternoon, it still didn't make people feel warm.
On the contrary, when a gust of wind blows.
The cold will drill from the skin to the body.
Therefore, there is no one hanging around here.
Just Jason, Arras and... the client.
The other party was a middle-aged man, wearing trousers and a white shirt. He took off the suit jacket in his hand and hung it in his arms. After seeing Arras, he ran over immediately.
"Great, you're finally here!"
There was joy on the other side's face.
Then, he looked at Jason.
"This is my companion Jason."
"He's strong."
Arras accepted Jason.
After hearing Arras' introduction, the employer immediately laughed.
"Hello, Mr. Jason."
"I'm Thomas."
"This mansion is an inheritance given to me by my distant relatives. Originally, it was impossible for me to inherit such a mansion, but the heirs before me all chose to give up the inheritance."
"So it's mine."
"I know, there's something wrong with it...well, but I have to inherit it."
"Because I need a sum of money to turn around my business."
"So, I need to confirm that 'it' is safe and can be sold smoothly."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
After the simple greetings, the employer in front of him spoke directly.
Jason nodded.
Of course he knew what the other party meant.
Another poor guy who was cornered and reached out to grab the last straw.
Under such a premise, the other party doesn't care whether the life-saving straw can bring him to float, or whether there is something deadly hidden under the straw.
The other party just wants to grab at straws.
As for after
That will of course come later.
Those things are none of his business.
All he cares about is whether the food here is delicious.
Therefore, Jason took a deep breath.
A faint fragrance was hidden in the air, very faint, but Jason was able to confirm that such a fragrance came from that mansion.
'food'!
Jason's eyes lit up.
"When do we start?"
asked Thomas.
"Now."
Jason said so, but didn't rush in immediately.
While enduring his hunger, he observed around the mansion.
Arras is doing the same.
The employer, Thomas, didn't urge him. Even though he couldn't wait to sell the valuable mansion in front of him, he knew the importance of investigation beforehand.
Although he had gone in alone several times before, at this moment, Thomas was still standing there and waiting quietly.
call.
The afternoon wind is blowing.
It was supposed to be a warm and warm wind, but in Thomas's feeling, it was getting colder and colder.
It was even colder than when he was waiting alone.
Thomas walked towards the sun while wearing a suit jacket.
He wished it was warmer.
It's just that the land of the sun, which is so close at hand, seems a little far away.
He walked for a long time, but did not arrive.
When he put on his coat and raised his head, he realized that at some point, he had entered the mansion.
Behind him is the open door.
only…
When he looked at the open door, it slammed shut.
The dull sound made Thomas wake up as if he had just woken up from a dream.
His face turned pale immediately, and he subconsciously ran towards the door.
But a dry palm just rested on his shoulder like a shackle, pulling him back.
"No!"
The shouts echoed in the mansion, but there was no sound outside the mansion.
Jason and Aras returned to the previous place after the peripheral inspection.
"Huh?!"
"Where are people?"
Arras was looking for the figure of the client. By the wide lake, at a glance, there was no one in sight.
Almost instinctively, Arras looked at the mansion not far away.
Before that, Jason's eyes had already firmly locked on to the mansion.
"He won't go in?"
Aras swallowed, moved his steps carefully, stood behind Jason, and curled up hard.
It's a pity that Aras, who was about the same height as Jason and slightly stronger than Jason, couldn't do this at all.
Jason ignored Arras.
He strode towards the mansion.
The closer he was to the mansion, the more Jason could smell 'food'.
And the stronger smell of 'food' told Jason of the danger of the mansion in front of him.
In the face of danger, Jason, who can restrain his hunger, is never careless.
"Alas, can you help me get a lot of heavy weapons in a concealed manner?"
"Preferably artillery, explosives, and the like."
Jason backed away as he spoke.
"I beat up those arms dealers, they won't sell me anything..."
Arras looked troubled.
"Is it such a high-calorie food?"
Jason asked in a different way.
"no problem."
"These supermarkets will be able to buy it."
Aras laughed immediately.
Jason raised his hand and threw the backpack to Arras.
"Turn all the bills in there into whatever high-calorie food you can find."
"Remember not to buy from supermarkets, but from hidden channels."
"Don't draw attention."
Jason exhorted.
"Leave it to me."
Although Arras was blacklisted in terms of arms, but not food, and as a bounty hunter, Arras had considerable channels.
The tall and strong woman took the backpack, turned around and was about to leave.
But after taking two steps, Aras realized that he was standing still.
No!
Not standing still!
but...
Headed towards the door of the mansion.
Subconsciously, she looked at Jason.
Jason took out two grenades with a calm face.
