…
Looking at the information on the corpse record sheet, beads of cold sweat broke out on Barry's forehead.
The word "living alone" means that the owner of this house is dead and his body is sealed in the hospital. Then who is the old man cooking in the kitchen
The more Barry thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he quickly reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He sat down next to Yi Chen with his armor-clad butt, and put on his bucket helmet again for fear of potential death threats.
But considering that he was having dinner at someone else's house, it would be too inappropriate to wear a helmet, so he took it off immediately.
After glancing at the kitchen and confirming that the old lady was cooking, Barry quickly leaned close to Yi Chen's face and whispered:
"William, if the old woman who owns this house is dead and her body has been sealed in the hospital? Who is the one who is cooking... Could it be the deceased's sister or younger sister? After the deceased's body was moved away, her sister ran over to live alone?"
"Do you think it's possible? You have a house to live in, but you choose to live in a place where someone has died, and at such a special time."
"It's unlikely... Then what is this!"
"We passed by here during our inspection in the afternoon. I checked the basic conditions of each household with my eyes. At that time, there was no one in the house.
I was just about to go back to the hospital for dinner when suddenly there was someone here. Based on my memory of the deceased's information, I immediately discovered something was wrong, so I decided to go and check the situation.
I didn't expect that we would find something suspicious. Judging from the conversation we had just had, the old lady is most likely the deceased."
"Fuck! The hospital has strict supervision over the morgue. There are apprentices guarding every checkpoint. There is no way the body could have escaped... Even if it did escape, the hospital has registered it. There is no way we didn't know about it."
"You are right. The body was indeed left in the morgue."
"Then what's going on with this old woman? Why are we the only one who discovered this situation?"
Barry's brain was a little confused and he couldn't comprehend the situation.
“There are obviously not enough people coming to Winholm, and the gentlemen who haven’t broken through the limit are still centrally managed. There are no gentlemen who check door to door like we do.
Barry, don't be nervous.
Let’s pretend everything is normal and pretend we are here to have a free meal to see what the other party will do. I will try to ask questions after the meal.
If you really encounter danger, you should flee back to the hospital and report the situation, and I will hold the other party back."
"All right."
Barry has never done anything like acting, and previous missions usually only required him to act as a meat shield, provide aura, and cooperate with teammates to kill everyone.
Faced with a completely unknown and incomprehensible death crisis, he could only sit upright with sweat constantly oozing from his forehead.
Barry is now very regretful. He would rather fight against a real enemy head-on than deal with this kind of unknown event that is completely confusing and can kill him if he is not careful.
Bang!
Yi Chen suddenly pressed down hard on Barry's shoulder.
A special internal force penetrated the armor and went straight into the body, almost dislocating the shoulder joint due to lack of preparation.
"Wow! What are you doing~" Barry's facial features were squeezed together and he kept rubbing his right shoulder.
Yi Chen came closer, his lips pressed against his ear, "Your body is stiffer than a corpse in the morgue, and your head is sweating like you just took a shower. Are you afraid that others don't know what you are afraid of
Barry, think of it this way. If we really make a breakthrough discovery here, the organization may directly give you a matching relic at the final settlement.
Risks and benefits coexist.”
Such a heavy slap combined with Yi Chen's words that contained a certain amount of mental hypnosis completely relaxed Barry's tense nerves.
Not long after.
The old lady brought the fragrant vegetable stew and corn soup to the table, which looked really appetizing.
But Barry didn't dare to eat it. He thought about the information on the old lady who died of poisoning. He was afraid that there were some deadly germs hidden in the food, and he would go straight to the morgue after taking a bite.
However,
Yi Chen, who was standing by, was holding corn soup and putting it into his mouth with a spoon very gentlemanly.
Of course, Yi Chen only seemed to not care on the surface. In fact, Little Grape had already deeply integrated into his brain in advance, and had already examined the ingredients of the food the moment it was served, and did not find any problems.
Seeing that Yi Chen had no problem eating, Barry started eating as well.
Out of basic gentlemanly etiquette, please observe silence throughout the meal.
The old lady did not show any problem. After the stewed meat in the big pot was eaten up, she said, "Please wait a moment, I will prepare some desserts."
"Don't bother. My friend and I are full. We still have our jobs to do. Increasing the frequency of patrols may effectively reduce the probability of citizen deaths."
Yi Chen used a chest towel to wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and Barry put his helmet back on.
When Barry was completely out the door,
Yi Chen, who happened to be standing at the door, bowed to the old lady and said, "Thank you for the dinner, Ms. Ingrid Morales."
Yi Chen lowered his head and after calling out the "name", he raised his eyes and stole a glance at the other person's expression.
However, the old lady still had a kind look on her face. She did not point out the mistake in the name, nor did she explain that the name did not belong to her.
Huh... Yi Chen took a deep breath and stood up straight.
"Ingrid Morales~ This is the name I saw on the photo frame in the house. Is it your name
I suddenly remembered something, I don't know if I remembered it wrong. Although I was just transferred here for patrol, I also took the time to look at the information of the deceased during this period.
The name Ingrid Morais always feels familiar, as if there was a deceased person with the same name."
When Yi Chen pretended to be puzzled and said this, the old lady smiled and explained: "Maybe you remembered it wrongly?"
"Oh... Then why do the house numbers seem to match?"
When Yi Chen asked this question, Barry, who was standing behind him, was already sweating profusely. He raised his sledgehammer and shield, and the halo was released from the soles of his feet.
Hahaha~haha~
The old lady standing at the entrance suddenly burst into laughter, and some black liquid came out of her mouth, unknowingly staining the area around her mouth black.
Barry was so shocked by this sudden change that he took three steps back.
Yi Chen's expression remained unchanged as he stared at the other person.
"Have you laughed enough?"
As Yi Chen asked the question, the old lady slowly stopped laughing and raised her right arm to point at the two of them.
“Everyone will die, including you.
You will become a part of death, spreading this gift to more places where more creatures live, and your friends and relatives will be infected one by one..."
Bang!
Yi Chen took a quick step and came to the old lady in an instant, leaning close to her ear:
"I don't know if the guy behind you can hear me, but let me put it this way. For a coward like him who can only hide and cause trouble, don't talk to me about death.
It's boring to be a loser who only knows how to hide behind and play tricks. If it wasn't arranged by the organization, I wouldn't come here at all. It's a complete waste of my time."
The words are finished.
Under Yi Chen's subjective control, this gentleman's suit with a high leather content suddenly shot out a large amount of silk threads, instantly wrapping the old lady and completing the packing.
This trick was learned from the village chief. Jin was once accidentally beaten up in this way.
