The young wizard did not panic. As long as Blue Beak was still there, he would still have a chance to escape. Besides, these people probably just wanted his cooperation and had no intention of taking his life.
So Xing Ze took advantage of the situation and continued to ask: "What do you want? If you want me to help find Thomas, you can't be so bold."
A smile finally appeared on Todd's cold face. He picked up the cutlery, elegantly cut a piece of steak and put it into his mouth. After chewing slowly, he said, "Do you eat meat, Xing Ze?"
"certainly."
"That's right, only carnivores can stand at the top. Herbivores can only become prey, just like this steak, no matter how great the cow is, it has become food for others."
"I don't understand what you mean. If you want to take a philosophy class, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person and time."
"Haha, you are very interesting." Todd praised, took the napkin and wiped the sauce from his mouth, "What I want to say is that everyone here is a carnivore. We all have something in common, why not work together?
"
The theory of lions. Xing Ze thought about it in his mind and said: "A group of lions can only accommodate a small number of male lions."
"That's right. That's why." Todd spread his hands, "That's why we gathered here."
Xing Ze couldn't help laughing, he shook his head and said: "Don't be kidding, Mr. Todd. The foreign lions will either defeat the original leader and take charge of the pride, or they will become the victim of the duel. Which one do you think I am?
"
Roman interjected: "We are not simple beasts, we know how to absorb useful people. Cooperate with us, Xing Ze, help us find Thomas. I will give you everything you want. I remember you were investigating "Snake's Teeth"
Find his whereabouts. As long as Thomas can be found, we will give you the book."
Hearing this, Xing Ze raised his eyebrows and said: "Where is the book with you? Seeing is believing, hearing is false. How can I believe you without evidence?"
"The proof is that we are still talking to you properly now, instead of shooting you in the head." Marco continued.
"What about the plan?" Xing Ze's tone became impatient, "I've been asking about your plan, but you avoid talking about it. Even if I agree to cooperate, I have to see if the plan is reasonable, right?"
"Don't worry, Xing Ze." Roman took a leisurely sip of red wine, "Our plan is to start from the cemetery, find the entrance to the passage, and then enter the house through the passage. I think you should have seen the general map of the cemetery."
Roman paused, and then continued after Xing Ze nodded: "We found that there is always a truck driving to the cemetery in recent times. Some members helped investigate and found that someone was conducting transactions in the cemetery, and they also discovered
A secret passage for trading.”
"We sent people to conduct further investigation and found a secret door in the study room of the house, which led to a warehouse. However, they were attacked before they could see clearly what was inside, but they accidentally got through the secret door.
Daoli ran out."
"There is no way out." Marco sighed, "Originally, they should have all been confessed inside, but they all escaped unscathed. It's really a miracle."
"God bless them." Todd said, "That's why I proposed that we follow you to investigate this time. Most of the hunting tasks are completed by female lions, but when they are in danger, male lions will step forward."
Xing Ze was not interested in the old lion theory. He asked: "Have you investigated that truck?"
"There is some investigation." Roman said, "We know the license plate, but we haven't locked the driver yet. But that's not important. What's important is that there is a warehouse underground in the house. No matter who is behind this, there is nothing wrong with it.
Good intentions. The important thing at the moment is that we need to control that house as soon as possible to see what the other party is doing."
"What about Thomas?"
"Of course we are looking for Thomas," Todd replied, "but we don't think he will be in that house. The initial team's investigation found no trace of him being in that house."
It seemed that they didn't know that the truck had previously delivered the goods to the University of Bristol. Xing Ze was wondering whether he should tell them about this.
But thinking about what these people had done to him, he swallowed his words back. Judging from the things found in the truck earlier, the snake people were establishing bases everywhere. They were like mold spots, blooming everywhere, and finally gathered into one
share.
Brichester has their members, so doesn't the local Unsolved Mysteries Association not have them? Looking at the three people in front of him, Xing Ze judged whether there was a possibility of spies among them.
"So, we plan to deal with the dream monster guarding the house first. Then we will investigate the house carefully to see if we can find any clues about Thomas' disappearance."
Xing Ze narrowed his eyes and asked Todd: "Is Thomas that important? Why do we have to find him?"
"He has made very important contributions to our association. The same goes for his uncle, old Kimball. I think you should know who I am talking about."
"Douglas Kimball."
"Yes, that's him. Both uncle and nephew have made great contributions to the association. Old Kimball has disappeared and we have failed him. But we cannot let his nephew make the same mistake again."
Regarding Todd's beautiful words, Xing Ze just sighed in his heart. It seemed that these people were not going to tell the truth to him.
"Do you know about the Snake Man?"
Todd was stunned, swallowed and said, "Do you suspect that Thomas' disappearance is related to the snake man?"
"It's possible."
"That makes sense." Roman said, rubbing the beard on his chin. "I remember Thomas has been studying ancient civilizations, and the snake-people civilization is his specialization."
Marco denied: "Studying the snake-people civilization, is his disappearance related to the snake-people? This is nonsense and has no basis. I also study ancient human civilization. If I disappear, can you think of ancient human beings?
Look for me for clues?”
"Marco, what Roman said makes sense. Do you still remember what old Kimball was studying?"
"Um, it seems like a curse or something."
"It's the curse of the snake people." Roman added, "Both of them were researching content related to the snake people, and they both disappeared. I suspect that they disappeared because they were looking for the snake people civilization, or things related to the snake people.
of."
"But everyone knows that the Snake People are an ancient civilization. Even if there are some still alive in the world, most of them are hiding in the dark depths of the earth. It is difficult to find them."
That's not difficult at all. Xing Ze joked in his heart.
"In recent years, there have been many reports about snake people." Todd tried to smooth things over again. "Most of them are concentrated in Liverpool. There is a scholar in Liverpool who is considered our non-staff. He has written to us more than once,
It says some care homes in Liverpool have been attacked by upright reptilian creatures.
"Of course, there is no basis for what you say. Apart from these rumors, there is no substantial evidence to show that the snake people have returned to the surface."
Ah, then you really need to go to Jintou Village to see it. Xing Ze whispered in his heart.
