/ I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain Chapter 34
Chapter 34 A Lamp
Watching the boy leave.
Mr. Roman Richard, a frequent visitor to the Old George's tavern, did not leave with him.
He then ordered a glass of the most expensive Volta spirit from the bartender with sad eyes, then took the glass and placed it on the empty seat beside him, and glanced at the **** girl who was giving him a glance.
Just because of that little guy's suggestion, he felt more and more that this kind of conservative corset was too unsightly, and he felt more and more boring when he turned his head.
"tick..."
In the center of the light yellow liquid in the Volta glass, a layer of invisible ripples rippling around.
The originally noisy and noisy tavern was eerily quiet. The figures of the guests and performers gradually faded with the vision, and the color of this simple tavern seemed to be washed by water and began to fade.
"coming?"
Roman has become accustomed to this, and he doesn't even look back.
Da da…
The crisp footsteps at the door filled the missing sound and color in the tavern.
Wearing a tall hat, a light blue denim coat and high-top leather boots, a young man with unusually handsome facial features sat skillfully at the bar.
Sitting in this tavern with only the two of them.
Roman took the initiative to hand over the glass and said, "Keby, my friend, why didn't I see you just now."
"Since I was promoted to Sequence 8, I prefer to stay in dreams than in reality."
It was the green-eyed police officer Kobe Black that Tu Fu had seen in the Black Swan Office who was speaking, and he was also a member of the Black Swan Extraordinary Team.
"Pfft... I can't believe it, this is the perfect image you created for yourself in your dream? A cowboy."
Until he turned his head away, Roman saw his image, and resisted the urge to laugh out of professionalism.
His friend and colleague Kebi Black is a Sequence 8 dream-hunting agent who has just been promoted to the dreamer path not long ago, and is also a typical retroist.
This guy hates the convenience of the present and misses everything that used to be.
Compared with the convenient steam carriage, he prefers to run on the prairie and whip his horse. He is an old boy with northern romantic feelings.
Together with the handsome vision, it is limited to this outdated cowboy hero, and the stern facial features and firm chin are essential features.
Sequence 8 dream hunter agents have the ability to activate lucid dreams at any time, they can easily wander in reality and dreams, they can pull others into their own dreams, and they can also have a slight impact on reality.
Officer Keby had long been accustomed to his gaze, and took the drink, "Have you found out who is behind the scenes at the Grand Theater?"
"It shouldn't be the work of the fraternity. Mason has denied it. He has no reason to deceive a poor man who can't afford the money." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Roman's mouth, "Then I saw that funny little guy again, unexpectedly He's such a clever little ghost."
"Why not use the power of the mantra?"
"Kerby, the interrogation is aimed at the enemy, and should never be used on citizens who have done merit to Leeds."
"So, are those letters really sent by him?" Coby, who was dressed in denim, raised his cowboy hat and asked directly.
"I didn't mention it, and I don't think he wants to admit it. It would be too scary if all the things that happened in Liz were led by such a little guy."
Kebi lightly stroked the revolver on his waist, "Cheated away the potion from the brotherhood, took the initiative to draw out the out-of-control superhumans, and led the church incident and the chaos in the grand theater with one hand, such a large-scale and intelligence system must be considered to be done by him .
I'm afraid there is a big organization behind it, like a fraternity. "
"I wonder if you just noticed? Mason was seriously injured."
Roman's tone paused, "Even though he concealed it very well, I can still detect that he experienced a big breakdown, even to the verge of losing control."
"certainly."
Being a Transcendent of the dreamer path, Kebi is more sensitive to this.
When this topic was mentioned, the two felt an urgent pressure at the same time.
That is the Sequence 7 nightmare of the dream maker path, a person who likes to hide himself in dreams most of the time, even when fighting, he likes to pull people into his dreams to create difficulties.
For this kind of quite stable transcendent, even if they are one or two ranks higher, they dare not say that they are sure to win.
Unless there is a Transcendent with a higher sequence or a higher personality, who has the ability to hurt Mason like this.
If Liz really has such an invisible extraordinary organization that exists under the eyes of Black Swan and other church organizations, it will be a terrible thing.
"I have an idea. If the strong man doesn't intend to let him go, we must apply for a coffin to Mason from the Goddess Church in advance, and when this miser is about to die, send it to him for a fortune." Roman pretended to be serious. Said.
"Good idea, I guess Mason would rather die in the wilderness."
Keby skillfully rolled his eyes at this unreliable colleague, "Compared to this, you really don't plan to continue chasing the fraternity?"
"The Brotherhood has never been our enemy, why bother with them."
"Listen to you."
Keby had no choice but to raise his glass and touch him. As his closest colleague, he knew Roman very well, and his behavior style was not as unreliable as he seemed.
Although Roman is vicious, has no chivalry, does not like to spend money on affairs, and has a messy life style, it can be said that he has nothing to do with the heroic knight.
But Liz's order is more reassuring precisely because of a shameless person like him.
Just think about it, he will be more cunning, sinister and shameless than those crazy cultists and unscrupulous superhumans, which is probably a good thing.
"I should be going."
Kerby took off his hat to salute, bid him farewell in cowboy fashion, and quickly drank the glass of stout like an old-fashioned hero.
Then slowly, he lifted the gun belt around his waist.
Come gently, go gently, wave your sleeves without taking away a single cloud...
Shortly after the dream-hunting agent left, the faded color of George's Tavern recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the noise followed. The disappearing crowd and excitement also appeared at this moment.
It was just the drink just ordered beside Roman, as if by magic, the drink disappeared from the glass under his nose.
This is a glass of high-end spirits worth 1 poor.
Roman couldn't help frowning, slapped the bar, and called out the name of the bartender angrily, "Hey, why hasn't the Volte I wanted been served yet?"
After the conversation was over, Tu Fu took a deep breath after going out. During the short ten-minute conversation, his back was once again covered with sweat.
Almost every sentence the other party said was trying to test him, but fortunately there was no malice.
Otherwise, he believes that according to the ability of the extraordinary organization of the church, there must be a more professional way to pry into his secrets.
Tu Fu didn't leave immediately after pondering. He pretended to be nonchalant and took the public carriage directly to the line of Green District, so he couldn't stay outside for too long.
Looking at the panning and changing street view outside the car window, flat buildings, minarets, and colorful dome houses, in a brief moment, the high-rise buildings made of steel and concrete in the past emerged in his memory.
For a while, it was difficult to tell which era this was living in.
"If Uncle Ethan knows that I went to see Uncle Roman again today, will he be very angry?"
Tufu suddenly felt uneasy, even though he knew that even the most tempered uncle in the Winster family would never back down on such matters of principle, and his aunt also didn't like her children to step into dangerous areas.
After thinking about it, only Sophie is willing to support him.
Ku Tufu has no way out, from the day he chose to set foot on the extraordinary, there has been no way out.
From now on, I need a person to deal with the unknown darkness alone.
From Nanan Port in Puton District all the way to Crescent Street, this is not a short distance, but Li Tufu feels that time flies.
It was already dark.
He stood cautiously at the door of Block 64b, staring blankly at the lights inside.
He didn't go straight in.
Instead of making up a set of plausible reasons in my heart, and achieve the proficiency of being able to say it backwards.
"Crack."
Coincidentally, he was bumped into by his uncle who came out carrying a bag of garbage. Ethan's face was ugly, as if he was angry about something, and his voice revealed a low tone, "You're back? Go in and talk."
"Okay...okay."
Tu Fu is like a child who has made a mistake. He lowered his head and walked into the hall of his home anxiously. When he looked up, he saw Sophie showing a malicious smile.
"Hey, what happened."
He tried to get something out of the other party's mouth, but Miss Winston shook her head and refused to say a word.
Aunt Anfeier turned her back to him in the kitchen, also silent.
There was a strange atmosphere in the house, which made Tu Fu, who had seen the big scene, feel shocked.
It was not until the meal was about to start, when the family gathered around the dining table, that Ethan said quietly, "Where did you go just now, why did you come back now? Why don't you tell me."
"…say what?"
Tu Fu's head was almost lowered to the ground, resisting this wave of torture.
The degree of pressure of this kind of family questioning is no less than the extraordinary means of Roman in the Black Swan Office.
Dense sweat appeared on his forehead, definitely more nervous than when facing Grace.
"Of course it's because Mr. Coleman is willing to recommend you to the University of Leeds." Uncle Ethan's face changed, and he patted him on the shoulder excitedly.
I just heard him laughing, "I've heard from Sophie that your test scores are very good this time. It's quite good to maintain this level to go to the University of Leeds."
"Yes, that's right, that's it."
Tu Fu also breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that an unruly person like Roman would leak the secret secretly. He also felt relieved when he heard about it. "I originally wanted to wait until everything was settled."
"Little husband, congratulations."
Even Aunt Anfeier, who had always had no hope for him, finally turned around at this time, and brought it to the table together with sea fish and shrimp, a turkey and a whole pot of stewed lamb, which is usually done during the holidays. Great dinner.
Ethan comforted him, "Fortunately like this, the case of the Wood District and the church has been closed, and I have made a contribution this time. The reward from the Police Department has already arrived in my account, so I don't have to worry about it in the future tuition fees."
"Dad, why don't you talk about your process of solving the case." Miss Sophie is very keen on listening to stories.
"Well, speaking of which, this case is really dangerous.
Fortunately, I grasped her motives with my personal wisdom. At that time, I broke into the Leeds Grand Theater single-handedly and confronted that vicious murderer one-on-one..."
Listening to Uncle Ethan who was talking big again, aunt who was listening to the story with a smile on his face, and Sophie who kept robbing him of the delicious ingredients on the dinner table, Tu Fu suddenly let go of his guard and smiled easily.
He has always felt that he has been alone since he came to this world.
But now, there is something to look forward to.
No matter when he comes back, no matter how late he comes back,
Winston's family will always give him
Leave a lamp.
