Chapter 45: Unexpected ~ Ask for a monthly ticket~)
Jason was still a little surprised when Dadas burst out with a majestic momentum like a tiger.
He had never thought that a little girl could have such momentum.
Especially the forward pounce posture has a real tiger pounce feeling.
There was even the sound of a tiger roaring in Jason's ears.
Then, just as Jason held the handle of the knife, Dadas knelt down in front of her.
With a 'sorry'.
The tiger's roar also turned into...
Meow.
"I just simply want to be liked."
"But the harder I work, the more afraid everyone becomes of me."
"I have obviously grown a cute hairstyle, show my sense of humor with laughter from time to time, and actively participate in everyone's activities with my favorite things such as bats, snakes, spiders, and skeleton models, but why are everyone still so afraid of me?
."
Dadasi, who was lying on the ground, almost cried.
Amid the low sobs, she pulled out a book from the table beside her and threw it heavily to the ground.
"How to make friends" is clearly written on the cover of the book.
Jason didn't look through it.
But based on Dadas's crying, Jason roughly guessed what was inside.
The book is not wrong, it is you who are wrong.
Jason thought silently, bent down, picked up the book, and placed it on the table nearby.
This move made Dadas's sobs slightly louder.
"Are you trying to laugh at me?"
"If you want to laugh at me, just go ahead!"
"People like me are destined to die alone!"
"Not even the 'Libra Ritual' can save me!"
Libra ritual?
Jason captured the information in Dadasi's words.
"The 'Libra Ceremony' was held in Classroom 13 before you?"
Jason asked.
"Yes."
“Exchange precious things for precious things.”
"This is the 'Libra Ceremony'!"
When talking about matters related to the mysterious side, Dadas stopped crying and spoke seriously.
"So, you sacrificed a cat?"
"Is it your pet?"
Jason frowned.
Sacrificing his pet for something illusory was unacceptable to Jason.
In other words, any act of sacrificing the people and creatures around him in order to satisfy his selfish desires is something Jason despises.
"No!"
"I have hair allergies and don't have a cat."
"What I am sacrificing are two eggs - dragon eggs that I bought from a 'mysterious person' at a high price!"
Dadas shook his head repeatedly.
Then, he took out a box from the desk drawer nearby.
The box is about the size of a palm.
The whole thing is black with complicated patterns on it.
Jason looked at the palm-sized box in front of him, and there was a surge of energy in his chest.
Dragon eggs.
Not quail eggs.
Even the eggs of the Earthly Dragon cannot be contained in such a box, right?
However, after opening the box, the residual smell inside made Jason's eyes light up.
That's the smell of 'Kaka'.
The smell remaining in the box is very weak.
But Jason was very positive about the taste of the 'food' he had eaten.
But there is a slight sense of loss in my heart.
After all, it is not a secret technique that can attract 'food'.
In fact, just now, at that moment, he had already thought of the name for this secret technique.
It’s called ‘Are you hungry?’.
pity……
The uncontrollable sense of loss in his heart made Jason shake his head.
He took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions.
He told himself: "Food" must be hunted by yourself to be the most delicious.
As for the one delivered to your door?
Naturally, the more, the better!
He, Jason, never cared where the 'food' came from.
"Do you still remember that 'mysterious person'?"
"Where did you meet him?"
Jason asked holding the box.
"have."
"He has eyes and a nose."
"I met him at the vegetable market."
Dadasi's answer made Jason frown.
Seeing Jason frowning, Dadas was immediately a little scared.
"Otherwise I..."
"Draw it?"
Dadas asked tentatively.
"Um."
Jason nodded.
However, I don't have any hope in my heart.
In his opinion, Dadasi's painting skills should be at the level of a primary school student.
But as Dadas pulled out a piece of paper and picked up a pencil, just a few minutes later, Jason saw a very real sketch.
What's more important is...
He knows the person on the drawing paper.
The man who drowned in the toilet: Bala.
It turned out to be him!
Jason was very surprised.
In his opinion, it was an accident that he met Bala.
The other party's death should also be an accident...
No!
wrong!
It must have been an accident that I bumped into each other.
But the other party’s death?
Was it really an accident?
What if it was premeditated?
Jason almost subconsciously thought of the 'Ghost Team''s sniper attack on Edward.
Then, he naturally made assumptions.
If I hadn't been at the 'Watch Dog Pastry House' before, there was a high probability that Edward would be sniped.
Then, Edward's subordinates will definitely conduct a blanket search around the sniper point.
In other words, there was no way the deaths of Bala and his accomplices could be hidden from the police.
Simond, who caused the death of two people, will definitely be found out under a thorough search.
Then, it will be defined as a vendetta just like before.
That would be it if Barra hadn't pretended to be a 'mysterious person'.
But after something like this happened, Jason thought of more.
Would a professional liar return to the place where he succeeded?
The best option is to run away and never come back!
So, assuming that even if the other party comes back, what are the chances of meeting the victim?
It happens that this victim is also the manager of the apartment rented by the other party, and how old is it?
Almost all are very small.
And if you add the two together, it is basically trivial and impossible.
so……
Murder and silence?
Jason thought silently.
At the same time, more ideas appeared in Jason's mind.
Was Bala killed and silenced after he pretended to be a 'mysterious person' and traded the so-called dragon eggs in accordance with the arrangements of the 'Ghost Team', or was it because of other unknown things?
Or is this part of the ceremony itself?
Thinking of this, Jason looked at Dadas again.
"Other than you who traded dragon eggs with him, who else?"
"Or..."
"Do you know anything extra about him?"
Jason asked.
"No."
"Only I chose the dragon egg."
Dadasi replied.
"You were the only one who chose the dragon egg?"
"In other words, does he have other things there?"
Jason asked with a frown.
After seeing Dadas nod, Jason's brows furrowed even more.
Dadas continued:
"I wanted to buy all those things, but they were too expensive. I could only buy one, and the remaining three were bought by distinguished visiting professors from the college!"
