Chapter 42: Everything that was already doomed?~~)
"Good news!"
Jason said without hesitation.
Although hearing the bad news first and then the good news can help diffuse the bad feeling caused by the bad news and make people feel a little comfort, at the same time, the good news also becomes less happy.
Jason hated feeling like this.
Since you are happy, then be happy thoroughly.
And the bad news?
That was later.
"The Director is very satisfied with you, Jason."
“Whether it was before or just now, I am very satisfied.”
"So, you got a raise."
"Two gold grams a week, and this is your previous employment fee and first week's salary."
As Bundy spoke, he took out 4 gold grams and 6 silver grams from his wallet.
Excluding this week's salary, the remaining 2 gold grams and 6 silver grams are the commission originally agreed upon to hire the 'Night Watch' to solve this trouble.
"very nice."
Jason said this, after counting carefully, he put it into his wallet.
Although spices can be reimbursed as necessities, some things are not.
For example: three normal meals.
Based on the prices at ‘Yanan Food Shop’, Jason was able to deduce what the price of a restaurant with real specialty dishes would be.
And with his appetite, if he eats freely...well, forget it, he will be 70% full and healthy.
"besides……"
"It will be your sidearm."
"It's legal and documented."
"Of course, the ammunition consumed can also be reimbursed."
Bundy pointed to the 'Winchester brothers'.
The corner of Jason's mouth curled up.
Compared with the pistols of this era, he undoubtedly liked shotguns, especially the unique sound of the Winchester Brothers when they were loaded and the trigger was pulled, which fascinated him even more.
"What else?"
Jason watched Bundy expectantly, hoping something good would happen.
Unfortunately, the Sheriff shook his head.
"Then comes the bad news."
As Bundy spoke, his expression became solemn. After a slight pause, he whispered: "The person guarding outside the Moon Mask Club is missing."
"What?!"
Jason immediately sat up straight and tightened his grip on the shotgun in his hand.
"Because of the fighting in the afternoon, I transferred Hall and two young men back, leaving only four young men guarding there."
"And just when Hall brought people back, he found that there was no one there."
"All four of them were not at their respective posts. Hall rearranged the manpower and then came back to report to me."
Bundy spoke in detail.
Then, he looked at Jason.
Faced with that strange situation, Bundy knew that he was a layman, so he wanted expert advice.
"Go to the Moon Mask Club!"
Jason stood up with the gun in hand and walked out without stopping.
The changes in the 'Moon Mask' club made Jason feel extremely heavy.
In fact, according to Jason's plan, he would not touch the Moon Mask Club at all until his [Protection from Evil] was improved enough to deal with explosive-level weirdness.
but……
Plans never change quickly.
"Is it because of the passage of time that enough strength has been accumulated there to cause the changes?"
"still……"
"Because of Kurtz in the afternoon?"
Jason thought as he walked.
When he exited the door of the police dormitory, he saw Hall and Finch at a glance.
The two men each led two teams, and more than 20 police officers stood in front of the carriage waiting.
"Sir!"
"Sir Jason!"
Seeing Bundy coming out, Jason saluted with the rest of the people.
Then, prepare to take two carriages to the 'Moon Mask' Club.
And just as he was getting in the car, Jason suddenly thought of something.
"Finch, put the soup...holy water brewed in my room into a cowhide bag and bring it."
Jason ordered.
"clear!"
The young police officer responded immediately and ran straight back to the police dormitory.
Jason and Bundy boarded the first carriage and waited quietly.
The two sat facing each other.
Looking at Jason sitting across from him with a calm face, the Sheriff, who had been patient for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask:
"Aren't you curious?"
With that said, the Sheriff looked at Jason.
He expected to see something on Jason's face.
Unfortunately, Jason still looked calm.
"Aren't you curious why Kurtz became an 'Avenger'?"
"Aren't you curious about the relationship between Kurtz and Kylena?"
"Aren't you curious how Kurtz has such abilities?"
Bundy asked continuously.
"Kurz became an 'Avenger' because of Kylena."
"He and Kylena should have known each other for a long time, and they should be in a relationship. In fact, it was because Kurtz came to Lord's and became a police officer that Kylena also chose to come to Lord's."
"In Lord, the probability of ordinary people encountering the 'mysterious side' is very small, but it is not impossible. Kurtz's talent attracted the attention of a certain mysterious side person, so he was accepted as a disciple, and then, he gained such
ability.”
Jason answered one by one.
Hearing the answer here, Bundy was surprised.
If he hadn't been sure that the investigation report that had just been handed over to him could not be handled by anyone else, Bundy would have thought that Jason had just peeked at it.
Could it be...
"Did you use 'divination' to know the answer?"
Bundy couldn't help but asked.
"I'm not good at divination."
Jason spoke matter-of-factly, and then, without waiting for Bundy to ask again, he said directly: "Kylena is an admirable girl, brave, tenacious, and not greedy for vanity. If such a person has no reason
If so, I believe she will basically not leave her hometown."
"Besides love, I can't think of any other reason for a young girl to leave her hometown."
"Love, a terrible thing."
"As for the 'Avengers'?"
"We've discussed enough."
Jason adjusted his posture as he spoke. Just when Bondi thought Jason had finished speaking and was about to close his eyes and rest, Jason suddenly spoke.
"What is the chance of an ordinary person encountering a 'mysterious person'?"
"It just so happens that this ordinary person has considerable talent. What are the chances of this?"
"What's more coincidental is that this ordinary person's lover died unexpectedly, making him full of hatred. So... what are the chances of this?"
A series of questions made Bundy's expression change continuously.
"You mean?"
"Someone..."
"Manipulating all this?"
Bundy's voice was once again heard by only two people.
"There is nothing good in the world without a reason, and there is nothing bad in the world without a reason."
"Those seemingly gifts of fate?"
"In fact, the price has already been marked secretly."
Jason closed his eyes as he spoke.
He thought of himself again.
Has his series of opportunities... also been marked with a price?
Jason didn't know about this.
All he knew was that he was being treated as a pawn.
He also wants to live.
Moreover, we must live well enough and long enough.
because……
Only in this way can he have a chance to jump out of the chessboard!
At this moment, he will face another crisis.
A scene that was several times more dangerous than the situation in the afternoon!
Thinking of this, Jason suddenly opened his eyes.
"Bundy, I need something to increase our chances of winning."
Jason said to the sheriff.
"What?"
"I'll do my best to help you get it."
Bundy glanced at Jason first. When he saw Jason's serious expression, the sheriff couldn't help but beat his heart, with a hint of hesitation in his voice, because he was very worried that Jason's cold humor would show up again at this time.
, and asked him for potatoes, radishes, onions, etc.
Fortunately, this time Jason made a fairly normal request——
