"Boy, are you looking for the Nickelodeon Dictionary?"
The sound was like the deep roar of a wild beast, with its throat vibrating,
It makes people's hair stand on end.
The eyes in the oil painting were still facing him,
Raymond only felt in a daze,
Suddenly, I noticed that the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
The rows of bookshelves in the library no longer exist,
Instead, it transformed into a small room with a closed door.
He looked at the surrounding scenery and looked familiar.
He woke up instantly.
"Isn't this decoration... the room in the oil painting?"
Raymond's eyelids twitched suddenly. Did he run into the oil painting?
Vanessa was still frightened after the battle,
He couldn't help but feel a drum in his heart,
Could it be that he fell into an illusion again?
The person who is talking face to face at this moment,
If it’s not the middle-aged man who looks like a vampire in the oil painting, who is he?
"Um...Senior, do you have something to do with me?"
Raymond looked like he had seen a ghost, so he could only bite the bullet and open his mouth to test.
He looked at the system without any prompts at all, as if it had moved space out of thin air, and had no idea what his current situation was.
The scene in this hut is a man-made spiritual illusion.
Or is it an entity that actually exists?
Raymond didn't dare to take it lightly.
When he thought about it, even if the system did not indicate a mental illusion attack, it could not completely rule out that he was not under mental control.
There is a possibility,
That means the other party's mental control methods have gone beyond the sky.
This caused the system prompts in my senses to be blocked as well.
It's like multiple dreams, making it impossible to tell where reality is.
anyway,
This person has such unpredictable methods,
Raymond didn’t even think he had any chance of winning.
Even if there is a big killing weapon like [Death Gaze] in the package,
He didn't dare to act rashly.
"Nah... we just came to visit the library. Who did we offend? An old monster could pop out of an oil painting. This is really bad luck..."
...
Gradually,
Raymond calmed down.
Although the middle-aged man in front of him looks a bit scary and cold-blooded, his temperament is very elegant.
He was sitting on the sofa at the moment, playing with the cane with great interest, showing no emotion or anger.
The middle-aged man glanced at Raymond and asked: "Are you looking for the "Nix Dictionary of Common Chinese"?"
Having said that, it would be very senseless to deny it any more.
"Yes, senior."
Raymond couldn't figure out the other party's purpose, so he said half-truth: "I accidentally saw some legends about the Knicks civilization, and I was full of curiosity about that ancient civilization. I wanted to..."
Before he could finish his nonsense, the middle-aged man interrupted him with a smile.
"Tsk tsk...you are so dishonest."
After a pause, he said something that sent shivers down Raymond's spine and asked: "Aren't you looking for a dictionary to decipher 'Haynes' Death Note'?"
Hearing this, Raymond was shocked.
He looked at those dark pupils,
It's like all my secrets have been seen through,
Suddenly a huge feeling of fear came over my heart.
The guy in front of me can say this,
I'm afraid I guessed that "Haines' Death Note" fell into my hands!
Who is he?
Could it be...that they are from the Vulture Pirates?
Raymond smiled awkwardly, quickly regained his composure, and continued to pretend to be stupid: "Senior, why didn't I understand what you said?"
The notes are now in my own system package, and it is impossible for others to find them even if they want to look for them.
He has a fluke in his heart,
If this person comes here for the notes,
If you don't find something, you will let yourself go.
"It's no wonder you were able to escape from the Vulture Pirates with little Irene, you're quite scheming."
The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, showing no signs of violence, and continued: "You don't have to worry, I have no intention of robbing you of that notebook."
After a pause, he revealed an astonishing secret.
"After all...that notebook still slipped out of my hand."
What?!
Raymond's pupils shrank, extremely shocked.
He had been thinking about where such an important "forbidden object" came from.
I originally thought it came from the hands of Grand Duke Philip, but I didn't expect it to come from the mysterious middle-aged man in front of me.
and,
Judging from the current analysis of various signs,
The strength of this guy in front of me,
I'm afraid he's just higher than Archduke Philip.
When did Phillip lead hide such a master?
Why haven't I heard anything about it in the previous game?
...
Raymond had no intention of continuing to act reckless,
That’s all we talked about,
He still doesn't understand,
I must have encountered an old monster.
Maybe the person in front of me was the one who made the king, Shichibukai, afraid of him and did not dare to break into Philip's territory.
Listen to this person's tone,
No wonder the pirates of the Vulture Pirates stole such important "forbidden objects" so easily...
It turned out to be intentional.
"Relax a little...I really want to do something bad to you, you won't be able to survive a single move in my hands..."
The middle-aged man's casual tone revealed an unparalleled dominance.
He waved to indicate that Raymond could sit down and talk, and then said: "I don't know where the World Government learned that I had a copy of 'Haines' Death Note' in my hand... Originally, I planned to let them take it away, sir.
There was some trouble. But by chance, your boy took it back again."
"..."
It's okay not to say it, but to say it...
Raymond's right eyelid twitched very much, and he always felt like he was stepping on the tip of a knife, restless.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of pursuing the case. I'm also not interested in getting back the 'trouble' I threw out. Besides, it's rare to find someone who fits the legacy of Haynes... You have been approved by the note, then we will
You definitely can’t be an enemy.”
Since we didn't become enemies in the first place, there is still room for negotiation.
A strong person of this level,
There is no need to be arrogant and conciliatory with a little minion like him.
Raymond knew that the matter could not be hidden, and could not contain his curiosity, so he took the initiative and asked: "Senior, how are you sure that the note is in my hand?"
"Do you think the Vulture Pirates will give up if you escape back to your territory?"
The middle-aged man smiled, looked at Raymond with a strange expression, and said, "I was still thinking before, why those little pirates turned around and sneaked in again... After investigation, I found out that
I guess it was you who brought the notes back again."
After a pause, he added: "Without the secret protection of the territory, do you think you can still be in the academy safely? Those pirates haven't captured you yet?"
Only then did Raymond realize, no wonder there had been no movement for so long.
He thought the people on the Vulture side had given up.
It turns out that there are hidden secrets in it.
Raymond blinked and asked doubtfully: "But... you let them steal the notes in the first place, why do you want to stop them from catching me now?"
"If you can't see through the mystery in the oil painting today...then I'll choose to 'send' the notes. After all, I'm not in a good state right now, and I don't want to cause trouble."
Nani, mysterious?
Raymond was confused, what is the mystery of oil painting?
The middle-aged man explained: "The fact that you have come to this room proves that your mental power is far beyond ordinary people. It is obvious that you have obtained the inheritance of Haines. That's why I am interested in having a few words with you."
It turns out that why he felt that the oil painting "came alive" was because his mental power triggered a certain setting.
Raymond suddenly realized something,
He guessed that this middle-aged man was probably going to trigger some hidden mission.
"Senior also knows about Haines?"
Raymond asked directly.
The man in front of him obviously knew a lot more than himself.
