After seeing Jason stop, the tall, strong woman also stopped.
"Hey, is this the end point?"
"I lost again."
"You run so fast."
As the other party said this, he extended his hand to Jason.
"Introduce me, I am Alas, a bounty hunter."
The tall, strong woman introduced herself.
Jason didn't raise his hand.
He is not used to shaking hands with strangers.
However, Jason still answered.
"Jason."
Alas didn't care about Jason's attitude. After hearing Jason's self-introduction, this tall and strong woman put her chin on one hand and murmured to herself: "Jason? Jason?"
I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
"Have you heard of this name?"
Jason asked rhetorically.
At the same time, he immediately thought of the [background] introduction about him.
There are repeated references to ‘him’ and ‘rumors’.
Jason was very concerned about these rumors concerning himself.
Because this will affect how he integrates into the world.
"Um."
Alas nodded, wrinkled his beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and began to recall: "There was a legend about the 'immortal' circulating in the underground world before. Rumor has it that he was the younger brother of a certain noble lord. Because he wore the
A mask gave him the power of immortality. Once in a certain city, he fought against the local army because of some things, and wiped out an entire chariot regiment, and even destroyed most of the city."
The younger brother of a great nobleman?
mask?
Against an organized tank regiment?
Is this an excerpt of my experience at [Crab Meat Salad] and [Fried Pork Crunchwrap] and incorporated into the rumor?
Jason frowned.
He subconsciously thought of the short sentences that appeared on the black notebook when he entered the copy world in front of him.
【Some foods do not exist alone.】
【They need to cooperate.】
【even though……】
【Before, it was very difficult to eat!】
[Remember: This is the wine and drink that goes with your appetizer]
…
"Pairing?"
"Is this a match?"
Jason frowned.
The situation in front of him seemed a bit unfavorable to him.
Because of such rumors, his biggest trump card has been exposed.
Moreover, it is not known how much of his experience has been exposed.
This feeling simply suffocated Jason.
An inexplicable sense of urgency began to surround Jason.
I need to be stronger!
Only with greater strength can we cope with the crisis at hand!
so……
I want to eat, eat, eat!
"Where did you go before?"
Jason asked.
"Before?"
"I accepted the client's task and asked me to investigate a special mansion."
"I walked around the perimeter before and checked it roughly, but I didn't find much."
"Jason, are you interested?"
Alas did not ask further questions, but looked at Jason with interest.
When Jason nodded, Alaston suddenly laughed.
"Very good!"
"Now we are collaborators!"
"I'm still worried that I can't handle it alone... I, I, am either timid or a little afraid of such strange things."
Alas lowered his head, his two thick fingers kept colliding with each other, and when he made a muffled sound of "bang bang bang", he spoke with a slight twist.
Jason glanced at the other person silently, and suddenly there was an unpleasant feeling in his chest and abdomen.
You are the scariest one, right?
Do those weird things dare to appear in front of you?
Aren't you afraid of having your neck broken?
Jason's heart was filled with shouts, but he didn't say them out in the end.
However, Jason was still a little curious.
"You seem to trust me?"
Jason asked.
"Um."
"Jason is not a bad person."
"When we met for the first time and the second time, Jason, you were eager to leave, but when I chased you, you just left, but you never used your weapons to hurt me."
Alas showed a "I am very witty" smile.
Then, this tall, strong lady scratched her head uncomfortably.
"You have to know that people's muscles can only resist small-caliber firearms, such as shotguns and automatic rifles. They can still hurt people."
She said this.
Against small caliber firearms?
Jason was startled...
He also possesses the defensive power to withstand small-caliber firearms, but that was obtained after the fusion of [Prussian Body Training Technique] and [Gryphon Body Training Technique].
But the other party?
Jason looked at Alas' strong muscles.
Is it similar to physical exercise?
Or is it just muscle strength?
Jason is not surprised by the former, but if it is the latter...
That’s really amazing!
Because that means being as talented as him!
It's just that he couldn't ask about such a thing.
Everyone has a secret.
He doesn't want others to know his secret.
The same goes for others.
Jason has always been fair to his collaborators.
"Where is the mansion?"
Jason got straight to the point.
"On the outskirts of town."
"Are we going now?"
Alas asked.
"I'm in a hurry."
Jason answered like this.
After having such an answer, the two of them did not stop in this neighborhood anymore. Following Alas, Jason headed out of the city smoothly.
Along the way, Alas not only avoided the probes, but also some patrolling police cars.
All this seems very familiar.
"You know, I'm a bounty hunter."
In response to Jason's inquiring gaze, Alas pointed at himself with a thumbs up.
Then, when he actually left the city, he made a phone call.
It was given to the employer.
"We will arrive in front of the mansion in about 30 minutes."
"Okay, see you then."
Alas put down the handset of the public phone and walked towards Jason.
"Our employer is nearby."
"We can just go directly."
Alas said this and strode forward.
Jason nodded and followed.
"Jason, are you very strong?"
"Don't deny it."
"The first time I saw you on the platform on the second floor, I could feel how powerful you were."
"It was just like the first time I faced a lion as a kid."
The two walked side by side, and Alas couldn't help but speak.
"And, what about the lion?"
Jason asked what he was interested in.
"It became my friend."
"It was not happy at first, but after I punched it twice, it agreed."
"But then it died of old age, and I buried it under the tree."
"Then I came to big cities to look for opportunities."
Alas answered.
"Aren't you from Angcheng?"
Jason asked in surprise.
Alas's accent and familiarity with the city made him think that the other party was a local.
"I'm half from Angcheng. My mother is from Angcheng and inherited my grandfather's fighting gym. My father came to the fighting gym to challenge. Later, after being punched twice by my mother, he became my father -
—My dad said that he felt his heartbeat at that time."
"However, my father was in poor health and we had been living in the countryside. My father died of myocardial infarction a few years ago. My mother was very sad and went to explore the world alone."
"No news for a long time."
"I only had Little Meow as my companion. Then Little Meow died of old age, so I came to Angcheng."
When Alas said this, a hint of sadness appeared on his cheerful face.
Seeing Alas' sad feeling, Jason looked forward.
He did not tell Alas that her father probably felt the breath of death and chose to sell himself to redeem his life.
Heart-pounding feeling?
That’s a real heart attack!
Looking at Alas, Jason could imagine what his mother looked like.
Sadness disappears as quickly as it comes.
After just two steps, Alas returned to her cheerful appearance again. She ran back and forth beside Jason happily, looking around curiously from time to time.
Then, he picked up the weeds on the roadside and threw them into his mouth.
Then, he spit it out again.
There's nothing wrong with it, she just wants to eat whatever she wants.
Jason looked calm.
He has encountered enough strange things, and he has become accustomed to them.
The two of them continued to move forward.
Within 30 minutes of what Alas told him, Jason saw a mansion.
A mansion built by the lake.
The whole building presents a neo-Gothic style, but what interests Jason most is the tower within the courtyard wall.
When Jason saw this tower, he was in a trance. He seemed to see the buildings in his hometown. However, when he looked more closely, he could find that this tower was specious.
The combination of the overall Gothic style and hometown elements makes the whole mansion look weird.
An inexplicable atmosphere enveloped the place.
Even under the setting sun in the afternoon, it still didn't make people feel warm.
On the contrary, when a gust of wind blows.
The coldness will penetrate from the skin into the body.
Therefore, there is no one hanging around here.
Just Jason, Alas and... the client.
The other party was a middle-aged man, wearing trousers and a white shirt. He took off his suit jacket and hung it on his arm. After seeing Alas, he ran over immediately.
"Great, you are finally here!"
There was joy on the other person's face.
Then, he looked at Jason.
"This is my companion Jason."
"He is very strong."
Alas accepts Jason.
After hearing Alas' introduction, the employer immediately laughed.
"Hello, Mr. Jason."
"I'm Thomas."
"This mansion is an inheritance given to me by my distant relatives - originally it was impossible for me to inherit such a mansion, but the heirs before me chose to give up the inheritance."
"Therefore, it's mine."
"I know, it has some problems...well, but I have to inherit it."
"Because I need some money to turn around my business."
"So, I need to confirm that 'it' is safe and can be sold smoothly."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
After a brief polite greeting, the employer in front of me spoke directly.
Jason nodded.
Of course he knew what the other party meant.
Another poor guy who was cornered and reached out to grab the last straw.
Under such a premise, the other party does not care whether the life-saving straw can float him or not, nor does he care whether there is something fatal hidden under the straw.
The other party just wants to grasp at straws.
As for what happens next?
That will naturally happen later.
Those things are none of his business.
He only cares about whether the food here is delicious.
So Jason took a deep breath.
A faint fragrance was hidden in the air, very faint, but Jason could confirm that such a fragrance came from that mansion.
'food'!
Jason's eyes lit up.
"When do we start?"
Thomas asked.
"Now."
Jason said this, but did not rush in immediately.
While enduring his hunger, he observed around the mansion.
Alas is doing the same thing.
The employer Thomas did not push. Even though he could not wait to sell the valuable mansion in front of him, he knew the importance of prior investigation.
Although he had gone in alone several times before, at this moment, Thomas still stood there and waited quietly.
call.
The afternoon wind is blowing.
It should have been a warm and gentle wind, but in Thomas's opinion it was getting colder and colder.
It was even colder than when he was waiting alone.
Thomas put on his suit jacket and walked towards the sun.
He wished it was warmer.
However, the sun and land so close at hand seems a bit far away.
He walked for a long time and still didn't get there.
When he put on his coat and raised his head, he realized that he had entered the mansion at some point.
Behind him is the open door.
only……
When he looked at the open door, it closed with a bang.
The dull sound made Thomas feel like he was waking up from a dream.
His face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously ran towards the door.
But a dry palm rested on his shoulder, pulling him back like a shackle.
"No!"
The shouts echoed inside the mansion, but not a single sound came from outside the mansion.
After completing the peripheral inspection, Jason and Alas returned to their previous place.
"Eh?!"
"Where are the people?"
Alas was looking for his client. At a glance, he couldn't see anyone on the edge of this wide lake.
Almost instinctively, Alas looked at the mansion not far away.
Before that, Jason's eyes had been firmly fixed on the mansion.
"He won't go in, will he?"
Alas swallowed, moved his steps carefully, stood behind Jason, and curled up hard.
Unfortunately, Alas, who is about the same height as Jason and slightly stronger than Jason, cannot do this at all.
Jason ignored Alas.
He strode towards the mansion.
The closer he got to the mansion, the more Jason could smell the smell of 'food'.
And this increasingly rich smell of 'food' informed Jason of the danger in the mansion in front of him.
In the face of danger, Jason, who was able to restrain his hunger, was never careless.
"Arras, can you help me get a large number of heavy weapons covertly?"
"It's best to use artillery, explosives and the like."
Jason said as he backed away.
"I've beaten those arms dealers, but they won't sell anything to me..."
Alas looked embarrassed.
"Such high-calorie food?"
Jason asked in a different way.
"This is no problem."
"You can buy it in these supermarkets."
Alas immediately smiled.
Jason raised his hand and threw the backpack to Alas.
"Convert all the money inside into high-calorie foods you can find."
"Remember not to buy from supermarkets, but from hidden channels."
"Don't draw attention to yourself."
Jason warned.
"Leave it to me."
Although Alas was blacklisted in terms of arms, food was not, and as a bounty hunter, Alas had considerable channels.
The tall and strong woman took the backpack and turned around to leave.
But after taking two steps, Alas realized that he was standing still.
No!
Not standing still!
But...
Headed towards the door of the mansion.
Subconsciously, she looked at Jason.
I saw Jason taking out two grenades with a nonchalant expression.
