Chapter 37 Next Door

Ghost Squad?

Jason looked at Edward calmly.

Having had several acting experiences, he already knows exactly what to do when others think he knows, but he really doesn't.

remain silent.

It is best to look calmly into the other person's eyes.

If you feel that you cannot be calm, you can also move your gaze upwards and stare at the other person's hairline.

This will give the other party a sense of urgency. If the other party's hairline moves back, this sense of urgency will be doubled, allowing the other party to say what they want to say faster.

Of course, you can also imagine that the other person is bald.

This does not double the other party's sense of urgency.

But it will make you feel relaxed.

A male lion with a mane is mighty and majestic, but what if he is bald?

It is estimated that no lioness wants to pay attention to them.

Fortunately, Edward's hair is still thick, and even when it is tied into a ponytail, it does not look sparse.

The leader of the special operations team faced Jason's gaze and nodded slightly.

"You really know."

"However, it is also appropriate."

"After all, you've all been through that."

Edward said slowly, his tone becoming inexplicably sad.

After a full two or three seconds of silence, the leader of the special operations team continued:

"The 'Ghost Team' is formed from elites drawn from various corps and divisions."

"Everyone has outstanding abilities and is equipped with the most sophisticated weapons."

"They work closely together to carry out various difficult tasks."

"but……"

"During the 'Defense Battle of Decheng', they rebelled. They killed Decheng's commander at the time, 'General Will', and then assassinated several senior military officials one after another - externally, these generals were announced as

Die in battle."

"Then, the 'Ghost Squad' really became ghosts."

"They are so elusive that the re-established Decheng and now Xincheng have become their hunting grounds."

"And me?"

Edward smiled slightly self-deprecatingly.

"He is the person in charge of hunting down the 'Ghost Team' in 'Xinde City', from the 9th Infantry Division."

"I was chosen to be the person in charge here not because I am the strongest in the 9th Infantry Division."

"It's just because there is news that the person in charge of the 'Ghost Team' here is Micah."

"He was the commander of my former team."

"I know him best."

As he spoke, Edward leaned back slightly.

His upper body was completely supported by the back of the chair, and his eyes seemed a little dazed.

Apparently, the leader of the special operations team began to reminisce about the past.

Not far away from the counter, the female pastry chef gestured to Jason with a mint lemonade.

After Jason nodded, the female pastry chef brought them all over.

"Thanks."

When the female pastry chef poured water, Edward finally came to his senses.

The team leader thanked the female pastry chef.

The female pastry chef returned to the oven very self-awarely.

She needs to think about cooking something different for lunch.

As for what Edward told?

She's not interested.

Even though Edward lowered his voice and seemed very mysterious, for her, it was better to think about the ratio of milk, eggs, and sugar.

What ghost squad.

What Micah.

Where sweet pastries are important.

"Micah was a person I admired."

"He has excellent abilities, noble qualities, and a tough character."

"But when he becomes an enemy, it's also the most difficult one."

"Because you don't know where he will attack you."

"So, I initially hoped to use you as 'bait' to lure him out."

"Feel sorry."

Edward apologized again.

Moreover, this time it was much more solemn.

He sat up straight first, then lowered his head and leaned forward.

Then, he was grabbed by Jason and rolled to one side——

Bang!

The moment the two bodies hit the wall of the store, a bullet penetrated the glass of the store, accurately passed through the position where Edward had been before, and finally penetrated the table, floor, and sank into the basement.

"Sniper!"

"Pay attention to concealment!"

Outside the store, little Banxi shouted, and the people around him quickly looked for cover, while little Banxi leaned close to the mailbox, took out his gun and aimed in the shooting direction.

However, he could not find any trace of the other party at all.

There was no one in his field of vision.

Even if he had locked on to the sniper point in the first place, it would be useless.

In the store, Edward stood up.

"Thanks."

"You saved my life again."

"I owe you."

After he finished speaking to Jason, he ran outside.

According to his understanding of the former commander, the opponent had left without a single hit, but just in case, he still wanted to check to see if he could find any clues.

"Captain Edward."

The female pastry chef suddenly spoke.

"rest assured."

"I will definitely be careful."

Feeling the long-awaited concern, Edward turned his head, raised his hand to push up his glasses out of habit, and said with a smile.

"no."

"It's compensation."

The female pastry chef pointed to the broken window, damaged table, and floor.

Immediately, Edward's hand pushing up his glasses froze in mid-air.

"Write a list."

"We will compensate according to the price."

With the same stiff smile, Edward finished speaking and walked out of the store.

Jason stood up, dusted himself off, signaled to the female pastry chef, and followed Edward out.

Jason was not interested in the so-called 'ghost team'.

But Jason was interested in the [city recognition] that the 'Ghost Team' could bring.

After glancing at the [City Recognition Degree] which reached 6%, Jason quickened his pace.

Although this is only the second day, according to 60 days, it is more than enough to reach 100%.

But Jason doesn’t think he can gain 6% [city recognition] every day.

Therefore, he will not give up the opportunity to gain [city recognition].

Following Edward, Jason walked across the street to Pea Corner, a place close to the next block.

"This is a sniper spot!"

Little Banxi said with certainty.

Edward didn't ask, just waved his hand.

Edward would not question little Banxi's abilities.

So does everyone else.

After seeing Edward's gesture, these people immediately dispersed. While sealing the place, they formed a commando team and prepared to launch a search towards the fifth floor that should be the apartment in front of them.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Edward also took out his gun and prepared to join the commando team.

It was Edward's habit to lead by example.

It is precisely because of this that Edward will be more and more admired by Banxi and others.

However, this does not mean that Edward is a brainless fool.

He has not forgotten Jason.

One person could withstand a hundred Jason, but it left an indelible impression on him.

Edward turned to look at Jason.

Only then did Edward realize that Jason was not looking at the apartment building in front of him, but at... the lower building next door.

"What's wrong?"
