Vol 3 Chapter 19: Self-taught Edward

Should I know?

John looked dumbfounded at Jason.

What Jason took for granted, made John subconsciously think he was missing any important clues, or when Jason just said something, he didn't hear it.

But after a moment of serious recall, John couldn't remember what he missed or did not hear Jason's words.

After all, things have just happened.

From getting off the car to entering the underground chamber, and then back to the car, everything clearly appeared in his mind.

Jason sighed slightly as he looked at John's coercion.

He now began to miss those expatriate members of the "Cat Cave" inexplicably.

At least, when there is an expatriate member of "Cat Cave" at this time, he can listen to the "reasonable explanation" easily and directly.

"Yesterday the old housekeeper Fendilt died."

"Today the people in the coffin inside the secret room are awakening."

"The marks left in the secret room are very 'fresh', definitely within a day."

"Who are you talking about in the coffin?"

Jason asked with his hands spread out.

"Fendilt!"

John's words blurted out.

Then, this ‘retired person’ with an extraordinary career, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

"Because of this hole card, he was easily killed by Tois!"

"It is also because of Fendiert's involvement that the Edward family will decline for a short time."

"He borrowed everything from the Edward family to accomplish what he wanted, and 'handled' the people who wanted to hinder himself!"

Hearing John's explanation, Jason shook his head.

"Why can't it be Edward?"

"Why can't all this be Edward's layout?"

"Why do you think the" Fendilt "you see is the Fendilt, not Edward?"

Jason asked again.

John was taken aback for a moment.

This time, without waiting for John to speak, Jason continued: "Don't forget, Fendilt has served the Edward family for nearly thirty years!"

"Thirty years, such a long time, doomed Fendilt to betrayal of the Edward family, his loyalty can be confirmed.

"But in case this is just his interpretation?"

John retorted.

"Of course it might be!"

"But he is a housekeeper, a housekeeper who graduated from the Housekeeper College, and a housekeeper who takes care of the entire Edward family!"

Jason reminded.

"What does that matter?"

John frowned.

"time!"

"He has no time to learn the mysterious knowledge!"

"He doesn't have the ability to build the ceremony just now!"

"Trust me, the learning of those knowledge is far more difficult and time-consuming than imagined!"

Jason gave the answer.

As a master figure master [picture complex language], Jason is well aware of the difficulty of learning this language. He relies on his "teacher" notes and "fullness" to get started quickly. .

What ’s more, the ‘ceremony’ just in the underground secret room can be interpreted not only by mastery level.

The 'ritual' there needs a higher level.

So, doubts appeared!

Where did Fendilt learn such knowledge?

Where does a young man from an ordinary family learn similar mysterious knowledge?

Every genre and force has its heritage.

Such inheritance is decided, and there are traces to follow.

It also determines the existence of mentors and apprentices, or simply subordinates.

But up to now, Jason has not touched the similar existence in the true sense except for the coffin surrounded by the double-headed snake statue he just faced.

As for self-taught?

A steward who has a career as a housekeeper, always follows his master, and a housekeeper on call occasionally picks up a mysterious knowledge, and then relies on his talents to achieve mastery in the remaining one or two hours of learning every day. Above the level?

This talent is no longer excellent.

Rather, excellence!

Far superior to ordinary people's excellence!

Do people with such outstanding talents really stay in a family for thirty years?

Suppose!

Assuming that Fendilt really has excellent talent, but he doesn't care, he only wants to stay in the Edward family.

The biggest contradiction appeared: Why did he destroy the Edward family?

Or, why did Edward not stop when Edward destroyed his family?

Fendilth, who possesses extraordinary strength, is a steward, but it is not difficult to stop Edward without harming Edward.

This makes no sense!

Although Fendilt is loyal to Edward, you know, Fendilt stayed in the Edward family and worked for 30 years!

The habit developed in thirty years is not so easy to change!

Habits have nothing to do with wisdom.

To some extent, it is terrible, and it trumps everything.

In order to continue this ‘habit’, Fendilt will definitely do something extraordinary to protect the Edward family when the Edward family really comes out of the crisis.

Even if he doesn't want to hurt Edward.

But what about others?

This has nothing to do with good and evil.

It ’s just human nature.

But nothing happened.

The Edward family was destroyed.

Edward is missing.

Fendilt lost his profession.

But after hearing about the "abnormal" things of the former employer, Fendilt came to find the old employer.

then?

The old employer showed him some magical abilities.

Opened a door for him.

Let him see what he has never seen before.

And, ask him if he is willing to cooperate with him ‘Rise Again’?

Faced with thirty years of service, plus the magical ability of 'teaching' as a bargaining chip, Fendilt has no reason not to agree.

then……

Edward ‘missed’.

Everything after that was staged according to Edward's 'teaching'.

Facing the killer's fierceness and the apology behind him, he chose to bury the other's body.

Faced with Tois's slack, he was easily killed.

These have a reasonable explanation.

Fendilt is just an early puppet, and Edward is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Even, Edward should have shown the drama of "resurrection" like Fendilt, which convinced Fendilt that his death was only temporary.

The next moment, Edward will resurrect him.

And in fact?

The only thing that really "resurrects" is Edward!

Or "Reincarnation"!

After meeting all the conditions of the ceremony, Edward finally succeeded in reincarnation!

Edward, who came from a wealthy family, should have occasionally received a legacy of a certain organization and power, or even a certain note.

Then, the head of the family involuntarily indulged in it, so that he made several judgments, and in order to recover his loss, Edward began to use the power of "mystery".

However, he is not familiar with all this.

He made a mistake.

He was threatened with death.

Therefore, he began to buy a lot of strange things, trying to prevent the death from approaching, and this accelerated the decline of the entire Edward family until it was destroyed.

However, Edward left the possibility of ‘rebirth’.

And, at this moment, Edward has succeeded.

These speculations, Jason did not conceal John.

In the absence of explanations from the "cat hole" person, he said it himself.

"That is to say, the old housekeepers Fendilt and Aymod are all part of the" ritual "."

John keenly discovered the key points.

"Ok."

"Snake has too many meanings in occultism."

"Its molting is considered to be immortal and immortal."

"Its fangs are regarded as instigating and killing."

"Its venom is considered to be cheating and betrayal."

"And we have just seen a statue of a two-headed snake staring at the coffin-Edward's persuasion of Fendilt can be regarded as instigation and deception; Fendilt then" betrayed "Emmod "Death" brought killing, so "Undead" appeared, and Edward completed a "molting" in a special way. "

Jason explained to John what he had learned while studying [picture complex language].

"This guy actually used Fendilte's loyalty to complete all this, which is really terrible!"

"Fendilt ... alas."

John felt sorry for the old butler who had died.

"terrible?"

"This is just the tip of the iceberg of the other party's" ritual "!"

Jason said softly.

"The" ritual "is not over yet?"

John was shocked.

"of course not!"

"Don't you forget the current situation of Cherry City?"

"Those angry parents are here!"

Jason said positively.

"If I'm Edward, and I have been laying out for so long, how could it be possible for the" ceremony "to end so simply?"

"I've been reincarnated, then I naturally want to get back everything I lost."

"and……"

"I want strength!"

He was too aware of what a guy who had lost everything, wandered on the verge of death, and was "resurrected" wanted to do.

In the city that never sleeps, such a guy is like a crucian carp.

Each one is like a gambler who loses his eyes.

Not only crazy, but ... greedy!

"Trust me, there must be some extraordinary guys in the 'parents' who came to Cherry City this time-they will be Edward, the promoter of the second half of the plan."

"And we?"

Jason said this, his eyes became dignified.

"What will happen to us?"

John asked involuntarily.

"How do we get together?"

Jason asked back.

John's face changed.

"This is also part of that guy's layout?"

He asked quietly.

"of course!"

"And, it's still an important part!"

"No one wants someone to destroy when they succeed?"

"So, it's better to rule out the" accident "-use the mysterious power he is best at!"

Jason said this, after taking a deep breath, he continued:

"Contact Brian, McCall."

"Let them rush to 222 Potato Street."

"We go directly there."

"Hope it's too late."

John didn't say anything, he already stepped on the accelerator.

The whole car sprang out like an arrow off the string.

...

The cherry city at night is particularly beautiful under the neon light.

But no one appreciates this beauty tonight.

just!

Just now, someone broke into the house of a congressman, and with bare hands, everyone including the six bodyguards and the congressman was killed alive.

Then, without waiting for the people to react, another rich merchant rang out gunfire.

Someone personally saw an automatic crawler with a heavy machine gun rushing in, and the gunfire spewed out a dozen centimeters.

The rich businessman was killed on the spot.

Even the bodyguards suffered heavy casualties.

Then, there was an explosion!

The rich merchant's house was bombed into the sky.

No one knows why the two attackers attacked.

However, when they finally left, they all hugged a girl without exception.

This made everyone unable to bear in mind the news I heard before: Someone was auctioning with ‘girls’ as ‘goods’.

The emergence of this idea made the locals of Cherry City shudder.

But for parents from other cities at the fastest rate, it is different.

They gathered together.

They were still negotiating.

They were still rational.

But when they heard that someone had rescued their daughter, the affection in their hearts exploded completely.

They become desperate.

They took out their weapons from the car.

They rushed to where their daughter might be.

Most of their weapons were purchased after her daughter disappeared.

Even the most peaceful person, after experiencing the disappearance of his daughter, can't help buying a small self-defense pistol, just like its name: self-defense.

They need to protect their families.

They don't know if they will use these weapons.

But they carry it with them.

And at this moment ...

They used it!

Bang, Bang, Bang!

Da da da!

Boom boom!

The sound of pistols and submachine guns are intertwined.

Explosions sounded one after another.

The originally quiet and peaceful Cherry City became like a battlefield at this time.

None of the people who appeared on this battlefield were soldiers.

But they are more terrible than any soldier.

because!

They are not afraid of death!

In order to retrieve their daughter, they have forgotten everything!

The bodyguards of the rich and parliamentarians were completely stunned, because they never thought of a thin, middle-aged uncle wearing thick glasses who could swipe with an AK, and a bloated middle-aged aunt Shotguns, spray them even more than once.

The most exaggerated is that a trembling old man walked in front of them with difficulty, and then took off his coat to reveal a tactical vest full of grenades.

Their eyes were full of anger.

Their expressions are full of hate.

They have a unified slogan in their mouths-

"Give me back my child!"

The sound is high and powerful!

The beaten bodyguards shuddered.

As bodyguards for employers, they know some things about employers.

They quickly responded to who these people are.

A trace of guilt appeared.

And this made them hesitate.

Also let them lose their last chance.

Each mansion's simple defense was breached layer by layer. The parents rushed into the mansion, and they shouted their children's names.
