Chapter 97 I became the mastermind behind the scenes
The round doorknob was gently twisted by Esther, and the door slowly opened. In order not to disturb the footsteps outside, Esther just opened the door a small gap and looked outside through the crack.
Esther saw that the ground was full of densely packed small eyes, red, looking unusually penetrating in the darkness.
"Rat?" Esther's pupils narrowed. He did not expect that these rats would be so bold and dare to appear in human houses in groups. Aren't they afraid at all?
Wait, something is wrong. During the day, Ronnie's father was infected with the Black Death, and at night, these rats appeared. Esther didn't believe there was such a coincidence. These rats obviously didn't appear for no reason.
of.
They probably thought that Ronnie's father was dead, so they boldly broke into a human's house. So, what did they plan to do when they broke into a human's house?
I saw that these groups of mice, although chaotic, were all running in the same direction with great purpose.
Over there is Ronnie's bakery.
The purpose of these rats is the food in the bakery!?
Esther was shocked.
Killing a person just for the food in a bakery? This makes Ested wonder. If the rats were driven for other purposes, Esider might be more accepting, but he would go to such trouble to kill with the Black Death.
Esther said he couldn't understand why a person died just for food. Even if it was to feed the rats, there was no need to do so.
Killing people will increase the risk of the cloaked man being exposed. Once the news reaches the ears of the Magic Association and a professional exorcist is invited, won't it increase his own risk in disguise?
Doing something where the rewards were completely out of proportion to the risks, Esther wondered if the cloaked man's brain had been stunned by the blow from Pani's father.
"Are they just here for food?" Crow's tone was also filled with disbelief.
"It seems so." Esther nodded. As a result, the cloaked man probably won't show up tonight. He had no choice but to see what his familiar found.
It's okay not to look at it. When he looked at it, Esther was stunned. From the perspective of his familiar mouse, there was a pile of bread piled in front of it. He didn't have to think about where the bread came from.
Apparently, these mice stole the bread from Ronnie's house, and then took it back and offered it to their familiar. Now, his familiar mouse looks like a big boss.
If the familiar rat is the big boss, wouldn't he be the mastermind behind it?
Immediately, Esther shouted coldly.
At the same time, the familiar, who was looking at a group of rats offering food to him in bewilderment, suddenly heard Esder's voice in his head, as if it was about to explode.
It held its head in pain and began to roll on the ground.
"Zhizhi, what happened to the leader?"
"Zhizhi, I don't know, maybe it's hemorrhoids."
The familiar mouse calmed down his mind at this moment and responded to Ested respectfully in his mind: "Gu Gu Gu Gu, Master."
There was a hint of anger in Esther's tone, "I asked you to infiltrate the enemy, not to be the enemy's leader."
"I'm sorry, Master, it's my fault, please punish me." The familiar apologized quickly. It had no explanation, because explanation was meaningless.
As long as Est doesn't kill it, nothing else can be said. It is Est's familiar and part of Est's blood. No matter what kind of injury it suffers, it can recover, unless Est intends to get it from his own blood.
Eliminate it.
The familiar mouse was afraid that Esder would destroy it, but Esder himself had no such idea. To be fair, in less than a day, his familiar mouse broke into the rat group and became a
As the leader, this kind of efficiency can be said to be extremely fast.
Esther soothed his tone and said a little more gently: "Okay, let your rats leave the house and find the real person who drives the rats as soon as possible."
"But, master, I can't order them." The familiar mouse said tremblingly.
"Huh?" Esther frowned.
"I don't understand the language with them and can't talk to them." The familiar mouse was telling the truth. It couldn't lie in front of Esther.
"Then how did you become the leader of this rat pack?" Esther asked.
The familiar mouse said with extreme grievance: "I want to know too, I don't even know what I said at that time?"
Esther suddenly felt that his familiar would not even know how he died in the future.
"Forget it, just keep following the rats, you can always find the mastermind behind it." Esther said helplessly.
Subsequently, he severed contact with his familiar.
At the same time, the rats at Ronnie's house had already moved most of the bread out of the bakery, and Esther was not in a hurry to stop them. The bread was not his.
After casually blasting a group of rats out of the house, the house finally calmed down. The rats that were blasted out of the house by Esther were dead and injured. In short, if you go out now, you can see a group of rats outside.
Dead rats on the ground.
Naturally, these mice would not let it go. They all carried the Black Death Virus. The bodies of the dead mice were devoured completely by the blood-red tentacles emerging from the soil under the night, leaving no trace of blood behind.
Esther's familiar is not just the familiar rat.
The next morning, Ronnie woke up and found that his home seemed to have been ransacked by bandits. The furniture had been overturned and was in a mess. However, after taking inventory, Ronnie discovered that none of the important and valuable things in the home were missing. The only problem
The larger ones are some baked bread stored in the bakery.
Could it be that the person who sneaked into his house yesterday was a reincarnated thief who died of starvation?
Ronnie couldn't understand.
Esther explained to Crow and Ronnie what happened last night. Ronnie was just an ordinary person who was involved. No, it might be inappropriate to say so. He should be counted as a victim.
After all, his father was infected with the Black Death.
Last night, a large group of rats were killed by Esther with a wave of his hand.
Esther still doesn't know if the other party knows that Ronnie's father is not dead yet. If he knows, will the cloaked man send the Black Death to Ronnie's father again?
This made Ronnie very worried. He wanted to move away from the village with his father, at least until the storm calmed down before returning.
However, his father would most likely not agree to his proposal. In his view, it would be tantamount to asking him to give up his family's ancestral business, which was really hard to accept.
