86. The Cthulhu Descends (Eighteen)
The mayor's face changed: "How is it possible, what is his business? What evidence do you have?"
Not only the mayor was surprised, but Windsor and Lilian were also shocked when they heard what Anderson said. They didn't expect that the other party would suddenly and bluntly speak out, are they preparing for a showdown?
Anderse continued: "I heard that the gentleman by your side has some abilities. Now our companion is dying one after another. I want him to look for the murderer."
Understand the meaning in Anderse’s words that did not identify the murderer. The mayor quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but when the other party said that, he still deliberately showed a puzzled look: "He is just an ordinary person. How could there be the ability to find the murderer, who did you listen to?"
Anderse: "A little girl with a purple bow."
His voice was relaxed, but Lilian and Windsor, who were standing with him, did not remember any little girl, but saw a strange monster with a purple bow near Mary's house.
Hearing Anderse’s words, the mayor’s face instantly became difficult to look at, but he quickly reacted, and he continued to ask, "Which child is it that the kid is talking nonsense? You tell me, I have to ask." Just ask her parents."
Anderse naturally took the mayor’s reaction into his eyes, and he smiled: "I just ran into it on the side of the road. I heard her name is Ariel."
Hearing this name, the mayor's pupils shrank suddenly, and he no longer concealed the panic on his face.
Now even Windsor could see that the mayor had a great reaction to this name.
The mayor did not speak for a while, and the room fell into silence.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door, which was especially obvious in the silent room, and it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Windsor was frightened and asked first: "Who?"
In the eyes of everyone, the photographer walked out, and a bit of doubt appeared on his face with a beard: "Why is it so lively here?"
His eyes fell on Aaron on the bed, his expression paled suddenly: "This...what happened to him..."
At this time the mayor also recovered and turned his head to look at Anderse: "I have called two people over, and they will take the corpse in a while."
There was still sweat on his forehead, and his pupils were a little dizzy, but he still forced himself to pretend to be calm.
Anderse nodded, watching the mayor find an excuse and hurriedly turned to leave.
When the mayor left, he accidentally bumped into the photographer, but he didn't even apologize, and went straight away.
"You follow up, don't let the mayor find out." Anderse turned to Windsor and Lilian and said.
Windsor asked with some doubts: "Then you..."
Anderse lowered his eyes and smiled: "I'm going to another place."
The photographer looked at the three people walking out with a confused look, and hurriedly asked: "Where are you going? Aaron, what happened to him?"
"I am a little scared in the room, can I follow you?"
His gaze never fell on the corpse next to him, as if he did not dare to look at it again.
Andersewen said: "We will go out once, and we will be back soon. The person who collects the corpse will come soon, can you pick it up for us?"
Hearing Anderse's words, the photographer nodded subconsciously, and it took a few seconds to realize that he originally wanted to refuse.
It was just a step too late for him to react, and Anderse and his party had disappeared at the door.
The first thing Ye He did after opening his eyes was to see Xiao Hei, and he was relieved when he saw that the black cat was still curled up next to him.
The black cat also heard the movement, and after opening his eyes to see Ye He, he jumped directly into his arms.
"Don't get close to strangers at will." Ye He hugged Xiao Hei, thinking of the black cat's intimacy to Ilpheus last night, and squeezed the other's cheek jealously.
The black cat's eyes flicked in confusion, as if he didn't understand Ye He's words. But soon it put the other party's words behind its head, tentatively licked his chest through Ye He's clothes, and then lowered its head after being rejected, looking for the next opportunity.
The system faintly said: [...Education children early in the morning. 】
It is very dissatisfied with Ye He's behavior of "early education".
Hearing the sound of the system, Ye He moved his attention away from the black cat in front of him, and said calmly, "I saw Ilpheus again last night."
The response of the system is bigger than that of Yehe: [Wh, what? 】
It did not expect that Ilphis was so interested in Ye He, but what made the system even more strange was that Ye He was strangely calm in front of him, and he was not as excited as before.
Ye He: "I didn't dream before, Ilpheus is real, and he still talks to me..."
Hearing Ye He's words, the system knew that it could no longer hide it, and the truth that it had been trying to hide before was about to surface.
Because he didn't know how much truth Ye He knew, the system trembled with tension. Suddenly hearing what Ye He said at this time, it was shocked, thinking that it had heard it wrong.
As if perceiving the trembling of the system, Ye He thought that the other party was thinking of some weird image, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't be afraid, Ilpheus is a human being."
The system didn't expect that he would be comforted by Ye He, and his mood suddenly became a bit complicated. It took a while for it to realize the meaning of the second half of Ye He's sentence afterwards, and it suddenly felt shocked.
System: [... Is he human? ! 】
Before, Ye He vowed to say that Ilphis was not a human being, and he didn't know why he suddenly changed the conversation and admitted the identity of the other party.
...Is this what Ye He reasoned about?
Ye He told the system the ins and outs of the incident, and also told the system about the agreement between him and Ilpheus.
Although don't know what Ilphis' purpose is, the system secretly breathed a sigh of relief when the other party had concealed the identity of the evil god in front of Ye He. After all, the opponent's rounding was considered to have helped it.
System: [In addition to these, what else did he tell you? 】
Ye He's expression changed: "He also said that his mission this time is to kill."
If it weren't for the other party to speak, he would never have thought that Ilphis in front of him was a legal coffee from the very beginning.
system:【......】
It had guessed that Ilphis was summoned for the purpose of killing people, but it didn't expect that the other party would say it so bluntly.
But soon the attention of the system fell on the agreement between the opponent and Ilphis. Hearing that Ye He was ready to retreat, the system looked very strange.
If it is really like what Ye He said, it would be lucky to fail to break away from the dungeon. After all, if this agreement is recognized by the dungeon, the end of Ye He's failure is to be enforced.
Thinking of the latter possibility, the system's heart suddenly raised: [Let’s first think about who Ilphis is. 】
It paused, and then said without conscience: [Isn't reasoning your strong point? 】
Ye He nodded and accepted the praise of the system without guilty: "Ilfis also said that he has always been by my side, and he also knows that Ariel entrusted me to find my father..."
Hearing Ye He's words, the system couldn't help but fell into silence. It seems that Ilpheus might have been lurking by Ye He's side to know these things. Its mind has begun to think of suspicious personnel. .
Ye He rubbed his chin and continued reasoning: "Apart from me who knows about Ariel's commission of this matter, only Judith, Bob, Ariel, and you."
The system couldn’t help but think about following Ye He’s thoughts: [First exclude me...]
The remaining three were all children, and Ye He rubbed his hair irritably.
Just when he looked painful and wanted to use the elimination method one to think, he suddenly heard a faint and unskilled "meow".
Ye He was taken aback: "System, did you call it?"
There was a bit of consternation in the system's voice: [It's your cat barking. 】
Hearing the system's words, Ye He quickly looked down. The black cat in his arms put two paws on Ye He's arms, met his gaze, and suddenly called out: "Meow."
Ye He unexpectedly heard a somewhat worried tone from it. But soon, his expression was replaced by surprise, and he suddenly hugged the black cat: "You might call Dad!"
The system's original words of congratulations choked.
The black cat obviously didn't realize that he was being taken advantage of. Seeing the smile on Ye He's face, it seemed to be relieved.
No wonder Ye He was so happy. After all, Xiao Hei hadn't barked since he was brought back. This was the first time he heard the black cat's barking.
Ye He's serious mood when he woke up in the morning was instantly relieved, and he couldn't help but kiss the black cat directly on the face.
The black cat obviously didn't expect Ye He to kiss him suddenly, and his body suddenly stiffened.
Ye He looked at the black cat lovingly: "Hey, call again, meow meow?"
With Ye He's encouragement, the black cat called "meow" again.
The system feels that the black cat's cry is inexplicably familiar. Now that think about it, the black cat's cry is almost like a reissue of Ye He's previous teaching.
The reason why it is so fresh in memory is because the pronunciation of Tucao Guo Ye He is too substandard, misleading the cat child.
An idea emerged in the system's mind inexplicably: the black cat in front of him was like learning Ye He's cry.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door on the first floor, breaking the good parent-child time.
Because of Robert's matter before, Ye He kept his eyes on him this time, and first secretly lay on the second floor to check the situation.
After seeing Bob who was standing at the door knocking on the door, his tense nerves were slightly relaxed, but because he thought that the other party might be Ilphis, Ye He did not relax his vigilance when he opened the door to him.
Although Bob was young, he was extremely sensitive to this, and soon realized that Ye He was wrong, and asked nervously, "Brother Revere, what's the matter with you?"
The system looked at the trembling appearance of the little fat man, and said hesitantly: [I think it is very unlikely that Bob is Ilphis. 】
Ye He also felt that Bob was not very similar to Ilphis, but he caught a glimpse of the black cat in his arms, but suddenly thought of a very important question-the black cat showed intimacy to Ilphis before. Could it be because it knew each other before?
Now think about it, Xiao Hei was Bob’s black cat before...
Ye He looked at Bob abruptly, with a torch in his eyes: "Ilfis?"
Bob looked confused: "Who?"
Ye He: "Your goddess..."
Bob's eyes were red, obviously thinking of something sad.
Seeing Bob's immortal performance, he temporarily cleared the other party's suspicion, and asked suspiciously: "Why are you here?"
Bob was instantly distracted. After remembering his purpose, he suddenly forgot to ask Ye He why he asked this question. Instead, he raised the bag in his hand: "These are biscuits made by my mother. I will give you this. Sent some here."
Because Ye He took care of him before, Bob was also willing to share his mother's food with him.
Hearing what Bob said, Ye He was moved a bit in his heart. Thinking that he had doubted the other party before, his tone of voice became a little guilty: "Thank you."
When Ye He picked up the paper bag, his fingertips accidentally touched Bob, and Bob felt the black cat's sharp gaze look over, making him feel cold behind his back, and he subconsciously turned and wanted to run.
Although he had raised black cats for some time before, he had to admit that every time he saw black cats, he was a little scared inexplicably.
After Bob quickly retracted his hand, the black cat also retracted his gaze.
Ye He also noticed Bob's abnormality, and asked a little strangely: "What's the matter?"
Bob swallowed silently, facing the cold eyes of the black cat, his heart that originally wanted to complain to Ye He suddenly went out. Thinking of the pain from the last time he was scratched, Bob shook his head subconsciously: "It's nothing, I...I should go back to do my homework."
"Wait..." Ye He wanted to stop the opponent, but Bob's chubby body was very agile at this time, and he ran away in a hurry.
Seeing Bob disappearing in front of him, Ye He couldn't help sighing: "I also want to ask if he has inquired about Ariel and why he runs so fast... "
He lowered his head and glanced at the black cat in his arms. The black cat was staying obediently in his arms, and Ye He's puzzled expression was reflected in his green eyes: "Is Bob afraid of something?"
The black cat saw his fingertips leaning in front of him, stretched out his paws to hug it, and licked it lightly.
A slight tingling sensation passed through his fingertips like electric current. Seeing the naive look of the black cat, Ye He shook his head: "Forget it, how can you know the answer."
After temporarily eliminating Bob's suspicion, Ye He decided to suspect Ariel again. Although the other party is the commissioner of the task, he has not actually seen the other party's appearance, and because Bob doesn't know Ariel's name, there is a certain possibility of self-direction and self-acting.
Ye He felt a little upset when he thought that he had had a chance to see Ariel last time, but the other party changed his mind temporarily.
After inquiring about the remaining life span of the system, he decided to close the store for one day today and look for Ariel first.
Ye He originally thought that Bob didn't know because of his young age, but he didn't expect him to ask a few of his former clients, but the other party said that he had never heard of Ariel's name.
Ye He faintly realized something was wrong: "She is very suspicious..."
As a person who has seen Ariel's appearance, the system still remembers the girl's appearance still fresh when think about it, and wants to dissuade Ye He, but now Ye He has finally caught the clue, of course it is impossible to just give up.
He decided to try his luck in the nearby mountains, just to rule out Judith's suspicion.
To be on the safe side, Ye He left the black cat at home and went on his own.
Fearing that the black cat would not be obedient to follow, Ye He rubbed its head like a kid: "If you stay at home obediently, I will reward you at night."
I don't know if he understood what he said, the black cat really didn't step forward.
Because of having been there once before, Ye He was familiar with the road this time, and soon arrived at Judith’s door.
Before getting close to the house, Ye He saw a familiar figure.
He didn't expect to see Anderse at the door of Mary's house.
Anderse's existence is incompatible with the dilapidated houses on the edge of the town. His features are exquisite and gentle. Just standing at the door is like a gentle gentleman.
Seeing the extravagance that the other party showed up in his gestures, Ye He guessed that he should be born in a good family.
He was wearing a black shirt on the inside and a dark brown waistcoat on the outside. It was obviously a simple work outfit, but it seemed like a model on a show.
Anderse was whispering something to the door.
Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head, saw Ye He not far away, and said hello with a smile: "Mr. Revere."
Originally, Ye He was still hesitating whether to wait for Anderse to leave before stepping forward, but seeing that the other party had found him, he didn't hesitate anymore, pretending to be nonchalant, stepped forward to say hello to Anderse.
...But how could Anderse be here?
Ye He thought with some doubts.
He was just about to ask, but Anderson took the initiative to speak first. The corners of the other party's lips were slightly raised, and a gentle and harmless smile appeared: "Why are you here?"
Ye He: "I'm looking for Judith..."
Before he finished speaking, Judith's timid voice sounded behind the door: "Brother Revere?"
In the next second, there was a twisting sound from the door in front of Ye He, and the door opened. Judy's smiling face appeared from the crack in the door, but she quickly thought of something. Use your small hand to compare with a "shh" gesture: "Mom is sleeping. Be quiet when you come in."
.......Mary is at home?
Ye He was a little grateful that he had the foresight, and he didn't bring Xiao Hei over, otherwise it might irritate Mary.
Anderse suddenly leaned forward, attached to Ye He’s ear, and whispered with a volume that only two people could hear: “She likes you very much. Before, no matter what I said, she didn’t want to open the door. She opened the door as soon as you came. ."
He was more than half a head taller than Ye He, and when he was closer to Ye He, he seemed to completely embrace the other person in his arms.
Ye He could feel the heat between the other party's words digging into his ears, causing a strange itch.
He subconsciously took a step forward and distanced himself from Andersel: "It may be because we have known each other for a while."
Ye He deliberately glanced at the direction of the house. Judith seemed to realize that they hadn't followed. She was standing not far away and staring at them, as if asking why they hadn't followed.
Anderson looked at the sudden distance between Ye He and himself, and was not annoyed, as if he hadn't noticed anything, he followed Ye He.
Because Anderse and Ye He were familiar, Judith also acquiesced to Anderse and walked into the room.
Although Mary's dress is gorgeous, the interior of her house is very simple, even a little messy, and there are dirty clothes piled on the sofa.
Ye He also understood the reason why Judith’s skin was so white. The house was shaded and there was almost no sunlight, even if the light was on during the day, it was a little dim.
Anderse's aftermath fell under the sofa, and soon put away his gaze.
There are three rooms in the house. According to Judith, Mary is now sleeping in the only room with the door closed.
Judith was obviously very excited about Ye He's arrival, and enthusiastically said that she wanted to show him her room, but Ye He couldn't talk for a while.
Looking at Judith’s back, Anderse suddenly said, “It seems that she lacks company in the daytime, so she treats you as an older brother.”
Hearing Anderson's words, Ye He felt a sense of sourness in his heart when he thought of Judith's previous statement that he was locked up at home most of the time.
He followed Anderse's gaze and found that Judith had lost a lot of weight, and her skirt was stained with dust, which looked a little messy.
Judith’s room is also very simple, with only a bed and a dilapidated wooden table, with her paintings on the walls, all very abstract.
There are still some pictures on the table, but all kinds of food are painted on it.
It's just that there are still a few torn marks on the wall, like the original painting but torn off by violence, and some scratches.
Ye He looked around the room quickly, but he couldn't find Ariel's shadow, and he was a little disappointed.
"Three people, just right to have a house." Judith turned around, counted a few people, looked at Anderse and Ye He crookedly, clapped her hands and whispered.
Ye He is now full of concerns about the identity of Ilphis, and he doesn't want to play a house, subconsciously he wants to refuse: "Can we not play today? I have something to ask you, and I will accompany you later. ...."
Judith drooped her eyes, seeming a little sad, her eyes and lips were red: "But no one has ever played with me before, this is my wish..."
Hearing what Judith said, Ye He said: "Have you never played with Ariel?"
Anderson heard Ariel's name and glanced at Ye He.
Judith shook her head: "We are not enough."
At this moment, Anderse suddenly asked: "What is our role?"
Judith smiled again on her face and pointed to Anderse: "You come to be a father."
She pointed to Ye He again: "Brother Revere is my mother."
Ye He: "......"
The smile on his face disappeared instantly.
The author has something to say: Ye He’s favorite father role was taken away =v=
