Chapter 022 Unexpected
The celebratory dinner was held in the church.
Halfway through the journey, Liu Dun approached Ke Lin, as if he had finally made a decision. With a bitter look on his face, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"If, if Sister Elisa...really made that choice, I would respect her idea. Maybe, I hope she can be happy. If it's you, Colin, you will definitely be able to bring her happiness..."
"Hiss, what are you doing with my yellow hair? I think you should watch less anime."
Ke Lin's face darkened, but he didn't say it out loud. He just patted the other person's shoulder to prevent the accident of being stabbed in the waist, and interrupted him: "Compared to women, I bring more beauty and kindness to this land, so you can go after me without worry."
To be honest, although these people always say things that make his scalp tingle, to a certain extent, their minds are particularly simple.
Good is simple, bad is simple too.
Overall, their cognition was normal.
Liu Dun was stunned for a moment, then a look of emotion appeared on his face.
Sister Elisa, who was a few meters ahead, seemed to have heard the whispered conversation here. She turned her head to look at Colin, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and turned her head back.
Is that intentional?
The atmosphere around him froze a little because of this smile, and the hostility became stronger. The "brother" next to him also had a dark face...
"If I hadn't smelled the scent of the and hadn't been able to track him down, I would have gone on a killing spree right now."
Colin couldn't help but complain in his heart.
However, he couldn't help but think of one thing: did the mastermind take action at the dinner party because he was exposed by not eating, or was he exposed for some reason before that?
With this in mind, the group returned to the church, which had been converted into a restaurant, after passing through the crowd of ordinary residents who came to celebrate for them.
A long table was placed in the hall at some point, and it was filled with all kinds of delicious-looking food that Colin had never seen before.
After proper processing, the roasted meat sprinkled with various spices makes a sizzling sound, and the gravy slowly flows down the texture of the meat, the aroma is fragrant and appetizing .
Especially after a strenuous exercise, you will feel hungry and your desire for meat and protein will be stronger than usual.
Of course, in real life, these things are just some fresh, still-moving pieces of meat.
Colin sat in the seat assigned to him with full vigilance.
He felt that the person who would stab him in a moment should be Liu Dun, who had the best relationship with him on the surface, and he was indeed sitting on his right.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Colin was sitting in the middle, with four people on his left and four people on his right, with sumptuous food in front of him. This scene seemed like something I had seen before.
Colin grumbled inwardly, if nothing unexpected happened, the backstabbing would happen during the dinner party.
According to prediction...
These guys should have locked themselves in.
Colin was fully prepared, ready to deal with any unexpected accidents around him at any time, and quietly took out the "Time Stagnation" from the "storage room".
As soon as there is any disturbance, the time stop will be activated immediately.
However……
The attack did not take place until the dinner was over.
"My dear heroes, you must be tired after today's actions. Please allow me to take you to a place to rest..."
After the red-robed old man finished speaking, he and Sister Talissa led everyone to their residence on the second floor of the church.
"What's going on?"
Colin followed the crowd and walked towards the stairs. On the surface, he joined others in expressing his admiration for the delicious food, but in his heart he was stunned - could it be that the world line had changed again?
This shouldn’t be the case…
This time he didn't hear the dice sound, so he didn't trigger the "Probability Roll". And this time he didn't have enough money, so he only had one card...
Even if I want to trigger it, I can't.
Is “The Fragments of the Book of Numerology” any good?
Tsk, could it be that my acting was so good this time that the other party didn’t realize that I was a mole?
Colin felt that this possibility was not impossible.
However, despite the unexpected incident, he knew that as long as he prevented a backstab, it wouldn't be a big problem.
His biggest trump card is that he has stronger hard power than his opponent.
If you can run away after being stabbed, how much more so now that you haven’t been stabbed?
"Damn, speaking of this, what on earth did the guy who backstabbed me in the Book of Premonition use to hit my kidney? I feel some inexplicable discomfort now..."
Colin couldn't help but complain in his heart.
If only he had the "Book of Numerology: Fragments" as well, this thing is really useful, but it's a pity that there's only one copy. If he had one more, he could...
Um?
Colin's footsteps on the stairs suddenly stopped, as if he suddenly understood something - if this monster was really related to the death of his former colleague, then did this monster also have the "Fragments of the Book of Numerology" in his hand?
Could it be that the reason for this situation is that the other party knew his foresight and therefore changed his actions?
No, Colin rejected the idea again.
Because logically speaking, he should have included the other party's prediction before the other party, so even if the other party used the fate paper, he would know it...
Unless the other party finds something wrong later and uses another one.
Or maybe the other party used the fate paper earlier than him.
"Damn it, how can there be such a disgusting thing as the 'Book of Numerology'? I don't have time to play such a brain-twisting thing right now."
Colin felt the situation was terrible and passive.
When I used it myself before, I didn’t think much of it, but now that others are using it against me I find it really disgusting.
My fellow villager, you have screwed me so badly!
At this time, led by Miss Talissa, they arrived at their residence.
"This is a separate room for each of you."
Although there were nine people, one more than they had initially thought, they still prepared a suitable room for the extra "hero".
Colin did not refuse. Without backstabbing, what he feared most was that the other party would not take the initiative to attack.
Now separate everyone...
It probably means that guy is going to take action!
"If that guy really used the 'Book of Numerology' before me, then it is very likely that he knows all my methods. Taking action under such circumstances means that he has some confidence in killing me. We must be careful."
Colin walked into the room and glanced around casually.
This room is about 50 to 60 square meters, and it is full of candles. In the bright firelight, there is an extravagantly decorated desk, a plush bed, a ceiling carved with mysterious patterns, and a red fur carpet...
After closing the door, he did not walk in or touch anything rashly. Instead, he reached into his pocket with his right hand and took out a monocle. Then, holding the upper and lower edges of the glasses, he brought them to his left eye socket and looked into the room.
[Decorations full of exotic styles, but unfortunately, everything is just a scene from the past. Apart from that, there is nothing threatening.]
Lines of text appeared on the monocle made of transparent crystal.
"Is it safe?"
Colin nodded slightly and put away the "analysis lens". Could it be that the opponent wanted to drag it out?
But his mission time is running out...
Just over 2 hours.
The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the other party is underground, but he has not actually smelled the other party, so there is no way to track him.
Boom boom!
Just at this moment, Colin suddenly heard a knock on the door from behind.
