Between life and death [unlimited]

Chapter 158 Cat?

After the shooting turmoil caused by James passed, it was almost noon of the day.

Originally, Leon planned to stay here for lunch before going back to school, but he saw that the black off-road vehicle outside the window had already driven out of his sight, so he ordered his security guards to say, "You guys stay here first. Just clean up, I'll go back to school by myself first."

Maybe because of the shooting just now, when these security guards heard that Master Leon was going to school alone, they subconsciously seemed to refuse, persuading: "Master Leon... these people just ran out, you go out by yourself now , will you encounter any danger on the way..."

Leon had already made up his mind, shook his head and said: "Probably not, they don't look like they have any enmity with us Anhart, if they wanted our lives, we would be dead by now. I just don't know What are they looking for me here for?"

In fact, Leon's first reaction when he heard what Charles said was that he thought that his father had discovered his relationship with Jacques and specially sent him to "beat" him—after all, old Anhalt was very People who dislike the Blades family—but now that Leon has calmed down, he thinks that if his father finds out about the acquaintance between himself and Jacques, it may not be as simple as just sending one person over. up...

That's why Leon was sure that Charles and the guy who entered later were not sent by his father.If they had run away now, they probably wouldn't come back so soon, and thinking that Charles had mentioned Jacques just now, Leon planned to go back to school first.

"Young master, let us send you to school. Otherwise, it's hard for us to explain to the master..."

Hearing what the security guards said, Leon had no other choice but to agree: "Okay, then you can just send me to the intersection in front of the school." In front of his powerful classmates, he showed the side of the Anhalter family.

Although the Anhalt family can be regarded as a famous local family and has a lot of status in the political circle, this kind of over-reliance will make him feel unrealistic and illusory.So he, who has always been clear-headed, still doesn't mind exposing this kind of behavior in front of his classmates.

Because Leon skipped class in the morning, his driver was not in the restaurant, so the security guards at the scene had to drive him back to school first.

After Leon got out of the car and walked into the school, he still felt a little uneasy, as if someone was always staring at him.But every time he looked back suddenly, there was no sign of any stalkers behind him, and the pedestrians on the street also went their own way, looking stable in this world.

Maybe I was too suspicious.Leon thought to himself, and suddenly recalled what Charles said just now, and he calculated carefully: However, it seemed that he hadn't seen Jacques for a day.Could it be that Jacques is on leave?

The time to go back to school was not very coincidental, just in the middle of the first class in the afternoon.Leon glanced at the time on his watch. After standing still and thinking for a while, he didn't directly enter the teaching building. Instead, he walked straight to the garden behind the teaching building.

However, Leon did not walk towards the back door of the school, but chose to walk into the other side, among the thick poppy bushes.

The poppies in the garden bloomed just right, and the growth was very vigorous and gratifying. The height of the large clusters of flowers planted in the flower bed was almost at the same level as Leon's chest.After Leon got into the flowers, he could only see a small head outside, which did not attract the attention of others.

At this time, Jiang Lai also quietly followed Leon, and followed him into the lush poppies.Just when James and the others were about to leave in that off-road vehicle, Jiang Shang didn't choose to leave with them. Instead, he chose to stay alone.

The players all felt that there must be some unknown secrets between Leon and Jacques, that's why Leon became so excited when he heard Jacques' name.Among the four players, if one is the best at tracking, it is naturally the "former professional killer" Jiang Xun.

One thing I have to say is that although Leon is not very old, his senses are indeed very keen, and he can even sense that Jiang Lai is following him.Of course, it may also be because he grew up in a big family and has been used to "following and being followed" since he was a child.

Here, Jiang Lai quietly followed Leon, his eyes fixed on his every move.Within the range of vision, Jiang Lai saw Leon slowly approaching a hut hidden in a corner of the campus, which looked a little rough on the outside.

Is this why Leon came to school in such a hurry?What is he doing here?

The moment Jiang Lai saw this scene, many questions arose in his heart.This hut, which is simple in appearance and even a bit dilapidated, is somewhat incompatible with the style of the entire campus. It should also be a good place for "killing and stealing goods".

Putting aside the doubts in his heart for now, Jiang Lai continued to observe Leon's actions.He stood in front of the door for a long time, but Leon didn't open the door. It seemed that he didn't have the key to this cabin.

Then, Jiang Lai saw that Leon raised his hand and knocked on the door. Seeing that no one answered, Leon squatted down again.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Lai's two sensitive ears heard, in the gentle breeze in the afternoon, there were also a few meows imitated by humans.

"Meow meow meow……"

It may be because Leon is still young and has not yet reached the period of voice change, so his voice still sounds immature and childish. When learning to meow, he really looks like a kitten that has not been weaned sound.It is indeed a bit lifelike.

"Meow meow meow……"

However, Jiang Li didn't know what to say after hearing it.

I thought I could get some useful key clues after following Leon, but I didn't expect that Leon came to school in such a hurry just to find a certain kitten that he hid?

But apart from the meows that Leon imitated, Jiang Lai never heard any other echoes from the house.Leon yelled ecstatically there for a long time, but there was no response from the kitten.

He couldn't help but wondered: "Hey, it's really strange... How come there is no response? I used to call it, but there was always a response..."

"Ring-ring--"

It was time for get out of class to end, Leon was afraid that some classmates would come here, and seeing that the kitten refused to come out, he had no choice but to get up and rush to the direction of the classroom first.

In fact, Jiang Xun has been hiding not far behind Leon. However, when he ran past Jiang Xun with his head down, he didn't notice that someone was actually following him—he just stretched out his arms, Less than a foot away, the fingertips could touch Jiang Shuang.

Seeing Leon leaving in a hurry, Jiang Lai suddenly remembered: the cabin Leon went to just now seemed to be the house where the cleaner Spark lived in the school.

……

This evening, the players attended the servants' dinner on time just like yesterday.

Because James and the others had already driven the car back to the Blades Manor, Jiang Lai had no choice but to run back to the Blades family from the noble school in the group on his own.

He came back at just the right time, the servants' dinner hadn't started yet.

After Jiang Lai came to the basement floor, he picked a random chair at the dining table and sat down.His late "choice syndrome" seems to be getting better.

Tonight, the servants ate bowls of bean soup with buckwheat bread, and a lot of fresh and tender chicken legs could be seen in the thick milky yellow soup—it seems that even the servants of the Blades family had better meals than those outside. Farmers or other residents in the area are much better off.

At first, everyone ate in silence.But when everyone was almost half full, the "chat show", which was most anticipated by the servants and welcomed by the players, finally slowly lifted the curtain.

The one who started today was one of Madam's personal maids. She preached to everyone: "Today, when I went to change Madam's sheets, I heard Madam say that Young Master Fernando is coming back..."

"That's really good!" After everyone heard it, they all had the same reaction.

Mrs. Melinda, the chef in the kitchen, also said with emotion: "After Master Fernan comes back, Madam should be much happier. After all, she will feel more reliable with her son by her side."

"It's just like what you said! Madam jumped on the spot immediately after hearing the news! Fortunately, we were the only ones present at the time, and Madam was as excited as an unmarried girl. And , I feel happy for Madam after hearing this!"

Melinda just smiled when she heard it, and then she began to miss her son again: "I don't know when my Charles will come back..."

Apart from this topic, there was no other news that sounded useful throughout the dinner.

After dinner, the players gathered in James and Eric's room as usual to talk about the clues discovered today.

James first asked Eric: "Eric, you have been in the castle all day today, have you heard or seen any useful information?"

"I've been assigned to work by Melinda, and I haven't been free almost all day..." Eric said here, and secretly complained to James who "asked for leave"—if you hadn't left , I don't have to do such a job alone.

However, he didn't dare to speak out, but honestly stated his discovery: "I haven't found any clues about Jacques' disappearance, but about the 'new god' invited by Blades, I'm curious." I heard a strange thing..."

"What's the matter?" "Because the servants live on the basement floor, someone heard a weird knocking sound when they were sleeping last night..." At this point, Eric glanced at everyone and found that these knights As expected, their expressions were normal, and they should not be afraid of such stories involving supernatural beings, which are really boring.

So he had no choice but to continue: "But you can also guess that the voice must be from the 'New God'. The room between me and James is far from the door on the second floor of the basement, so we only heard it last night. did not hear."

"Is this really a 'god'?" Charles asked doubtfully when he heard this: "How do you feel that, based on what the maid said, the Blades family invited some kind of 'good god'? After it was brought in, Put it directly in the dark environment of the basement, and you have to wear the robes of the first sacrificial priest when you pray, no matter how you look at it, it feels like an 'evil god'..."

Hearing this, Jiang Lai frowned and thought: I am afraid that Brades invited an "evil god".However, I don't know if the incident of Jacques' disappearance has any connection with this "evil god"...

But what Jiang Xun couldn't see was that the way he was frowning now was exactly the same as the subconscious movements that Si Yufeng would make when he was thinking.

"By the way..." Jiang Lai rarely took the initiative to ask everyone: "Did you know Anhatel before?"

The original owner of Jiang Lai's body doesn't have much memory of the Anhart family, but he knows that the Anhart family and the Blades family have had a long-standing grievance, and the two families' business directions do not interfere with each other.

"What's the matter? Why did you ask this suddenly?" Lanchester wondered, "Jiang Shui, you followed that Leon before, did you see any key information?"

Jiang Lai shook his head and said, "No." Then, he opened his mouth to explain the reason why he asked this question: "It's just a casual look."

In fact, he couldn't tell why he wanted to know more about the Anhart family. If he had to give a reason, it should be his intuition.After all, this is the real world they used to live in. Although the era may not be in line with them, Jiang Shui in this period should have just entered the "Predator" not long ago, but he himself really wants to know what the Anhart family is doing. What.

Jiang Lai remembered that when he was probably in his teens, he seemed to come to Europe with the organization and carried out a special mission.But because he has performed too many missions over the years, he can't remember whether the country he came to is here or not.

Perhaps the reason why he wanted to know the Anhalt family so much was because his mission involved Anhaltel at that time?

"Anhalt, Anhalt, Anha..." Charles mumbled back and forth several times at the end, then suddenly slapped his thigh, and excitedly said to everyone: "I said it feels so familiar! So it's that 'Anha Group' ah!"

"Anha Group?" The rest of the people had never heard of the name "Anha Group" before.

"Is it famous? Anha Group." James asked.

"You may not be clear, but I'm very 'familiar'..." The expression on Charles' face changed from excitement to anger visible to the naked eye.

I saw that Charles couldn't hide his resentment, and said to them in a very unhappy tone: "Before I entered the living space, I was engaged in international import and export trade. I still had some capital back then, but I was cheated later and paid for it." What's more, I lost all my money... In the end, I got terminally ill, and after I died, I entered here as soon as I opened my eyes."

James and the others were not familiar with Shire before, so it was the first time they heard Shire mention his past: "Someone lied to you? I didn't expect you to enter the copy like this... But, that's the same as What is the connection with Anha Group?"

Charles snorted twice: "I only found out after I was deceived that the Anha Group is a well-known fraud group in the world, and the backstage background is said to be very strong..." Then he looked at Jiang Xun and said, "So Jiang Xun, the Anha Group's main business should be transnational fraud."

"I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by the system, but this time it actually made me so close to this group organization that once deceived me..." Charles seemed to be talking to himself, his eyes full of viciousness: "I really want to Burn down their castle with fire, and let them go out to cheat people!"

"Don't be impulsive now, Charles." Lanchester hurriedly dissuaded: "After all, our mission has not been completed, you'd better not destroy any clues given by the system."

Then he caught a glimpse of the unwillingness between Charles' brows and eyes, and deliberately added: "Actually...after we complete the mission, you will have time to take revenge."

Lanchester's tone sounded understated.Unexpectedly, this small man who was only half the height of a normal person, who seemed to be cursed by God, had such a heart of iron and blood.

However, it is also right to think about it carefully.Compared with other people, Lanchester has some inconveniences, but he was able to climb to his current position in the Divine Blessed Knights on his own, and his personal ability is also quite excellent.

At this time, Jiang Lai observed very keenly that James' eyes looking at Lanchester became obviously wrong.This is the second time that Jiang Shui has noticed James showing that strange look at Lanchester.

He couldn't help wondering in his heart: Could it be that the incident Jiang Ke and James mentioned earlier was about Lanchester?
