Lord of Mysteries: Curly-haired Baboon - v2 Chapter 45
“Woo!”
A strange wind suddenly blew in the “Altar”, causing all three candlelights to flicker indefinitely.
And Lucid’s eyes were also dyed with a layer of black, which made him feel a sense of supernatural spirit.
“Hmm…”
Inside the “cage” formed by the staggered ice spears, Old Neil suddenly struggled violently, like a fish just out of the water.
But at this moment, the three candlelights suddenly rose up, illuminating the entire living room brightly.
At this moment, a crimson shadow flashed across Lucid’s eyes.
…
The next morning.
Klein came to the “Blackthorn Security Company” early in the morning.
“good morning.”
As soon as she walked in, the reception lady at the front desk, Roseanne, stood up and said hello with a smile.
“good morning.”
Reluctantly squeezing out a smile, Klein nodded in response.
The “investigation” last night did not go well.
Although he found many clues that were not quite right, when he wanted to continue to investigate further, he was interrupted by the “Mrs. Sharon” who had returned early.
“Tonight…find another chance to explore it.”
Pursing his lips, Klein made up his mind secretly.
But at this moment, after looking around for a while, Luo Shan spoke again:
“Old Neil is sick, how about we visit him at noon?”
A strange color flashed across Klein’s face, and he asked in a weird tone:
“Old Neil is sick?”
Luo Shan nodded vigorously:
“Well, yes, he found someone to ask the captain for leave.”
“good.”
Klein naturally wouldn’t refuse this reasonable proposal, and he agreed now.
After thinking about it, he sighed and said:
“Then we will visit him at noon. Hey, speaking of it, Old Neil is also very pitiful. His wife passed away early and the child didn’t know which city he was busy in. After he got sick, he could only lie at home alone and helplessly.”
But after hearing his sigh, Luo Shan widened her eyes and asked in shock:
“When did Old Neil get married?”
“…!”
Klein couldn’t help being taken aback, and immediately recalled slightly dazedly:
“When I went to Old Neil’s house, last month, I found a piano in the living room. He told me that his dead wife liked music very much…”
As he spoke, Klein was shocked and had some bad thoughts inexplicably.
But at this moment, the door of “Blackthorn Security Company” was opened again.
Old Neil, who was slightly pale, bent over and walked in slowly.
“Eh!”
Seeing this dramatic scene, Luo Shan couldn’t help being surprised.
And Klein on the other side was also blank, and blinked and asked:
“Old Neil, don’t you feel sick?”
For some reason, the elderly “night watcher” who was asked had a slightly evasive look, and he lowered his head and replied in a low voice:
“Uh…it’s nothing serious anymore.”
Nodded, Klein didn’t suspect that he was there, and smiled as if he was relieved:
“That’s good…”
Pursing his lips, he couldn’t help but laugh at himself.
I seem to be too neurotic, thinking all day long…
However, watching the rickety back of Old Neil turning and leaving, Klein was slightly startled, blinking as if he was a little puzzled.
It wasn’t until the old man’s back disappeared at the corner that he slapped his thigh, secretly annoyed:
“Forgot to ask about the piano…”
But after thinking about it, he felt a little more relieved.
After all, people are just here, so what else can they fail?
“Find an opportunity to ask more carefully…”
Licking his lips, Klein secretly made a decision.
On the other side, a trace of guilt flashed through the slightly muddy eyes of Old Neil who turned to leave.
But soon, this trace of guilt disappeared into the turbidity in his eyes, and it was hard to find a trace.
…
On the other hand, Lucid, who had finally solved Old Neil’s problem, was not idle either.
After hurriedly renting another house in another slightly deserted area on the outskirts of the North District, she followed the “low-key wait-and-see” plan to start a life of simplicity.
Using the “instigation”, Lucid persuaded the surviving old Neil to make him his “eye” in the “Blackthorn Security Company”.
But in fact, if you want to pursue the ultimate “low-key wait and see”, it is actually a safer choice to live in the old Neil’s house.
However, the smell of “Cthulhu” entrenched there, let Lucid dispel this idea.
This kind of smell that is difficult for normal people to detect, for a girl with a keen sense of smell, is almost as lethal as a rotten egg that has been put for a few weeks, and belongs to the level of a biochemical weapon.
So after hesitating for a moment, she decisively chose to leave there, and instead looked for a small house nearby to settle in the same suburbs.
“In this way… I can hide behind the scenes and slowly find out the person who dared to attack the Tingen branch of the Night Watcher.”
After settling down in a small house in the suburbs, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Recalling a series of previous plans, she couldn’t help but feel a little proud, and she felt quite “strategic”.
Compared with looking for the enemy directly like looking for a needle in a haystack, the circuitous tactics like UU Reading www.uukanshu.com are not only more reliable, but also the safety factor has risen sharply.
Looking at the spire of St. Selena’s Cathedral outside the window, Lucid’s eyes filled with emotion.
“Time flies so fast…”
She is now in a two-story building on the outskirts of the northern district of Tingen.
It’s not too far from the old Neil’s residence.
In this way, the young girl can “walk” every day and “pass by” the old Neil’s house.
Thinking of this, the corners of Lucid’s mouth couldn’t help but slightly cocked, and at the same time a rustle flashed across his face.
In addition to being complacent, those heavy feelings about the past and time have also been slightly diluted.
Standing on the window sill on the second floor of the small building, she looked at the beautiful scenery of the countryside and a well-kept garden not far away, and she seemed to be in a lot of joy.
“This garden is so beautiful!”
Looking at the colorful little garden, Lucid sighed with admiration.
After looking at the surrounding environment enthusiastically for a while, she turned around contentedly and returned to the room.
Pursing her mouth, the girl’s mood became more peaceful, and she sighed with emotion in her heart:
“Time is running out! Next, I have to think about what to do in the future…”
Not far away, the small garden is full of colorful flowers, complementing the green lawn, making it extra beautiful.
Among the clusters of flowers, a dark red chimney stands in harmony, forming a wonderful pastoral picture with the flowers and green grass…
