Should I know
John looked at Jason, who took it for granted, with a dazed expression.
Jason's natural appearance made John subconsciously wonder if he had missed some important clues, or if he didn't hear what Jason said just now.
But after thinking about it seriously for a while, John couldn't think of anything he missed or didn't hear Jason's voice.
After all, it just happened.
From getting out of the car to entering the underground secret room, and then returning to the car, everything clearly appeared in his mind.
Seeing John's bewildered look, Jason sighed slightly in his heart.
At this moment, he actually began to miss those expatriate members of the 'Cat Cave' inexplicably.
At least, at this time, there is an expatriate member of the 'Cat Cave', who can easily and directly listen to the 'reasonable explanation'.
"Yesterday the old butler Fendilt died."
"The person in the coffin in the secret room here 'woke up' today."
"The traces left in the secret room are very 'fresh', definitely within a day."
"Who do you say is in the coffin?"
Jason spread his hands and asked back.
"Fendilt!"
John's words came out.
Then, the 'retirement' with an extraordinary career had a look of amazement on his face.
"Because of this hole card, he was easily killed by Toys!"
"It is also because of Fendilt's intervention that the Edward family will decline in a short period of time."
"He borrowed everything from the Edward family to accomplish what he wanted, and 'dealt' with those who wanted to hinder him!"
Hearing John's explanation, Jason shook his head.
"Why can't it be Edward?"
"Why can't all of this be Edward's layout?"
"Why do you think the 'Fendilt' you see is that Fendilt and not Edward?"
Jason asked again.
John was taken aback for a moment.
This time, before John could speak, Jason continued, "Don't forget, Fendert has served the Edward family for nearly thirty years!"
"Thirty years, such a long time, it is doomed that Fendilt cannot betray the Edward family, and his loyalty can be proven."
"But what if this is just his interpretation?"
John retorted.
"Of course it is possible!"
"But he is a butler, a butler who graduated from the Butler Academy, a butler who manages the entire Edward family!"
Jason reminded.
"What does that matter?"
John frowned puzzled.
"time!"
"He has no time to learn those mysterious knowledge!"
"He also doesn't have the ability to construct the ceremony just now!"
"Believe me, learning those knowledge is far more difficult and time-consuming than imagined!"
Jason gave the answer.
As a proficient [Tufu Language], Jason is very aware of the difficulty of learning this language. He relies on his "teacher" notes and "satiation" to get started quickly, which does not mean that others can also .
What's more, the 'ceremony' in the underground secret room just now can't be interpreted only by the proficient level.
The 'ritual' there requires a higher level.
So, the question arises!
Where did Fendilt learn such knowledge
Where did a young man from an ordinary family learn such mysterious knowledge
Each genre and influence has its own inheritance.
This kind of inheritance is determined, and there are traces to follow.
It also determines the existence of masters and apprentices, or simply superiors and subordinates.
But up to now, except for the coffin surrounded by the statue of the double-headed snake that Jason just faced, he has never really come into contact with a similar existence.
As for being self-taught
A butler who has a career as a butler and follows his master all the time. The on-call butler occasionally picked up a book of mysterious knowledge, and then relied on his own talent to master it in the remaining one or two hours of study every day. grade above
Such talent is no longer excellent.
Rather, excellence!
Excellence far beyond ordinary people!
Would a person with such outstanding talent really stay in the same family for thirty years
Suppose!
Suppose, Fendilt really has outstanding talent, but he thinks it doesn't matter, he only wants to stay in the Edward family.
The biggest contradiction appeared: why did he destroy the Edward family
In other words, why didn't he stop Edward from destroying his family
Fendilt, who has extraordinary strength, is a butler, but it is not difficult to stop Edward without hurting Edward.
It doesn't make sense!
Although Fendilt is loyal to Edward, you must know that Fendilt has been working and serving the Edward family for thirty years!
Habits developed over thirty years are not so easy to change!
Habit has nothing to do with wisdom.
In a way, it's scary more than anything else.
In order to keep this 'habit' going, Fendilt will definitely do some extraordinary things to protect the Edward family when the Edward family is in a real crisis of destruction.
Even if he doesn't want to hurt Edward.
But what about the others
It's not about good or evil.
It's just human nature.
But none of this happened.
The Edward family was destroyed.
Edward is missing.
Fendilt lost his career.
But after hearing about the "abnormal" things about his former employer, Fendilt, who was worried, came to look for his old employer.
Then
His old employer showed him some magical 'ability'.
A door was opened for him.
Let him see things he has never seen before.
And, ask him if he is willing to cooperate with him to 'make a comeback'
Facing thirty years of service, plus the bargaining chip of 'teaching' these miraculous abilities, Fendilt has no reason not to agree.
Then…
Edward 'disappeared'.
Everything after that was staged according to what Edward 'taught'.
Faced with the killer's ruthlessness and the apology behind him, he chose to bury the other party's body.
Faced with Toys' "relaxation", he was easily killed.
These have a reasonable explanation.
Fendert is just a puppet in advance, and Edward is the real mastermind behind it.
Even, Edward should have shown Fendilt the drama of "resurrecting from the dead", which made Fendilt believe that his death was only temporary.
In the next moment, Edward will resurrect him.
And in fact
Only Edward was 'resurrected' in the true sense!
Or 'reincarnation'!
After satisfying all the conditions of the ceremony, Edward finally 'reincarnated' successfully!
Edward, who was born in a wealthy family, should have occasionally obtained a certain organization, an incomplete inheritance of power, or even a certain note.
Then, the head of the family was so obsessed with it unconsciously that he made several judgments, and in order to recover his losses, Edward began to use the power of 'mystery'.
It's just that he is not familiar with all this.
He made a mistake.
He received death threats.
Therefore, he began to buy a lot of strange things, trying to prevent death from approaching, and this accelerated the decline of the entire Edward family until it was destroyed.
However, Edward left behind the possibility of 'reincarnation'.
And, at this moment, Edward has succeeded.
Jason did not hide these guesses from John.
In the absence of explanations from 'cat cave' people, he said it himself.
"In other words, the old butler Fendilt and Aimode are all part of the 'ceremony'."
John keenly discovered the key point.
"Um."
"Snakes have too many meanings in mysticism."
"Its molting is considered to be immortality and immortality."
"Its fangs are regarded as instigating and killing."
"Its venom is perceived as deceit, betrayal."
"And we just saw a statue of a two-headed snake looking at the coffin—Edward 'persuades' Fendilt, which can be regarded as instigation and deception; 'Death' brings the kill, so 'undead' comes out, and Edward does a 'molting' in a special way."
Jason explained to John what he had learned while studying [Tufuyu].
"This guy actually used Fendilt's loyalty to accomplish all of this, it's really scary!"
"Fendilt he... oh."
John feels sorry for the old housekeeper who died.
"horrible?"
"This is just the tip of the iceberg of the opponent's 'ceremony'!"
Jason said softly.
"The 'ritual' is not over yet?"
John was taken aback.
"of course not!"
"Haven't you forgotten what the current situation in Cherry City is?"
"Those angry parents have come!"
Jason said in a firm tone.
"If I were Edward, how could it be possible for me to let the 'ceremony' end so easily?"
"I've been 'reincarnated', so I naturally want to get back everything I lost."
"and… "
"I still need strength!"
He knew too well what a guy who had lost everything, hovered on the verge of death, and was 'resurrected' wanted to do.
In the 'city that never sleeps', such a guy is like a crucian carp crossing the river.
Everyone is like a gambler who has lost his eyes.
Not only crazy, but... greedy!
"Believe me, among the 'parents' who came to Cherry City this time, there must be some extraordinary guys—they will be Edward, the promoter of the second half plan."
"And us?"
When Jason said this, his eyes became serious.
"What will happen to us?"
John asked involuntarily.
"How did we get together?"
Jason asked back.
John's expression changed.
"Is this also part of that guy's layout?"
he asked in a deep voice.
"certainly!"
"And, it's still an important part!"
"No one wants to be destroyed when they are successful, right?"
"So, it's better to rule out 'accidents'—use his best mysterious power!"
Speaking of this, Jason took a deep breath and continued:
"Contact Brian, McCall."
"Tell them to go to 222 Potato Street."
"We're going straight there."
"Hopefully in time."
John didn't speak, he had already stepped on the accelerator.
The whole car shot out like an arrow from the string.
…
Cherry City at night is extraordinarily beautiful under the illumination of neon lights.
But, tonight, no one appreciates such beauty.
just!
Just now, someone broke into the house of a congressman and beat everyone including the six bodyguards and the congressman to death with his bare hands.
Then, before people could react, another rich businessman heard continuous gunshots.
Someone saw with their own eyes an automatic tracked vehicle with a heavy machine gun rushing in, and the gunfire sprayed out more than ten centimeters.
The rich businessman was killed on the spot.
Even the bodyguards suffered heavy casualties.
Then, there is an explosion!
The rich merchant's house was bombed to the sky.
Why the two attackers attacked, no one knows.
However, when they finally left, they all held a girl without exception.
This made everyone couldn't help but think of the news they heard before: someone is using 'girls' as 'goods' for auction.
The emergence of this idea sent shivers down the spines of the locals in Cherry City.
But for parents who come from other cities at the fastest speed, it is different.
They gather together.
They were still discussing.
They were still sane.
But when they heard that someone rescued their daughter, the family affection in their hearts broke out completely.
They become desperate.
They took weapons from the car.
They rushed to where their daughter might be.
Most of their weapons were bought after their daughter disappeared.
Even the most peaceful of people, after experiencing the disappearance of their daughter, can't help but buy a small self-defense pistol, which is exactly what it's called: self-defense.
They need to protect their families.
They don't know if these weapons will be used.
But they carry it with them.
And at this moment...
They used it!
Bang, bang, bang!
Da da da!
Boom boom boom!
The gunshots of pistols and submachine guns intertwined.
There was one explosion after another.
The originally quiet and peaceful Cherry City became like a battlefield at this time.
None of the people who appeared on this battlefield were soldiers.
But they are scarier than any soldier.
because!
They are not afraid of death!
In order to get their daughter back, they have already forgotten everything!
The bodyguards of the wealthy and congressmen were completely stunned, because they never imagined that a thin middle-aged man with thick glasses could sweep with an AK, and a bloated middle-aged woman with a Shotgun, keep spraying them.
The most exaggerated thing was that a trembling old man walked up to them with difficulty, and then took off his coat, revealing a tactical vest covered with grenades.
Their eyes were full of anger.
Their expressions were full of hatred.
There is a unified slogan in their mouths—
"Give me back my child!"
The voice is high pitched and powerful!
The stunned bodyguards trembled all over.
As the employer's bodyguards, they know something about the employer.
They quickly realized who these people were.
A trace of guilt followed.
And that made them hesitate.
It also made them lose their last chance.
The simple defenses of each mansion were breached layer by layer, and the parents rushed into the mansion, calling their children's names.
Some answered.
They wept with joy.
some…
Already unable to answer.
They are sad and helpless.
They became more and more angry.
They start to get... crazy.
The gunfire grew louder.
The explosion was louder.
The streets of Cherry City were empty when a wave of gunfights emerged.
At this moment, people are hiding at home and trembling.
But at this time, a figure appeared on the street.
He was dressed in a black, decent dress, and held a cane in his left hand. As he walked forward, the cane kept touching the ground, making a unique sound.
On the right index finger that was occasionally raised, a ring inlaid with rubies was shining brightly.
He walked forward unhurriedly, like strolling on the street, and more like enjoying it.
He couldn't help humming softly.
Then, suddenly, the humming stopped abruptly.
Turned into a bone-chilling soliloquy—
"not enough!"
"not enough!"
"Be more miserable!"
"I need more life!"
"You have to use this life to meet your... king!"
"Cherry City, your king is back!"
