Chapter 54

The red velvet curtains at the entrance of the theater swayed endlessly.When Jing Huang walked up the steps, a hand tightly wrapped in a black sleeve and white glove stretched out from behind the red curtain, and pointed the palm up at Jing Huang, as if warning him not to enter.

"I'm looking for your boss." Jing Huang said impatiently.

The white gloves paused for a moment, and finally retracted behind the curtain.The red curtain was drawn to both sides, but the inner corridor was empty.The hand reaching out from the curtain was gone.

"Still playing tricks like this." Jing Huang said.He walked straight forward without paying attention, and walked into the deepest theater.

That was the theater where they watched the puppet show in the box on the second floor. At this time, the lights were bright and the curtain was tightly closed.There is a row of puppets sitting in the front row of the auditorium, and Eden is in the middle of the puppets.

Jing Juan walked up to him and threw the diary to him.Eden was still sitting comfortably, and the puppet next to him, dressed in court ladies' costumes, held the diary for him, and then opened it and flipped it.

"The murderer of the second case has already been killed by others. I don't know who helped you with this... This is the diary of that wolf. It was at least three years ago. Fortunately, that guy has been with me all the time."

"Human-wolves often keep objects they used in the past in an attempt to wake up their memories." Eden looked at him and said, "How about the other two cases?"

"Still chasing. The two cases used ordinary weapons. The murderer's appearance is either unknown or has no characteristics. How can it be so easy to find?"

"Then why are you seeing me now? Are you planning to give up the investigation?"

"Isn't this being investigated? Do you remember the name Marin? It should be a poem writer. He has something to do with the material dealer who was hanged."

Eden picked up the diary coldly.

"You'd better not expect me to give you all the clues, otherwise there is no need for you to investigate... If you are looking for a Marin who claims to be a poet, then it may be the singer Marinovlas."

"Singing poets?"

"They sang popular poems and stories to tunes, and sometimes their own writing, in order to gain fame and recognition—even so, most of what they sang was empty kitsch, and they earned their living from it. performers."

"That's really suitable for a tortoise in an exclusive theater like you."

"Marinovlas you're looking for," Eden said indifferently, "his name often appears on the wall of the garbage station in the city's tip, probably because of quarrels related to women."

Jing Huang cut it disdainfully: "Frivolous?"

"I don't object if you want to understand it this way, but the situation in Malinovlas is not that simple. As far as I know, at least three women who used to be close to him claimed to kill him, and one of them was from the Little Kingdom. Nobles, one is a White Tower mage, and the other is a half-lizard."

Hearing Iden's words, Jing Juan's original contemptuous expression froze slightly.

"This guy, even the Lizard Demon won't let go?"

"It's just a hybrid with lizard blood. The blood and saliva are still highly poisonous, but it's just a very beautiful human girl from the outside. She used to accompany her brother to sell potions in the market, and many people were raped by her. Sexual attraction... the name should be Melaro, right? Later, Malinovlas got her heart and quickly abandoned her."

Iden tapped the handrail lightly, with a faint smile on his face: "According to the Lizard Demon's concept, individuals who are unfaithful to their partners will be attacked by the whole group, and if serious, they will even be eaten and killed by their partners. Let’s be a little more forgiving.”

"No matter how tolerant, it won't be much better. What's going on? Isn't that Marin an ordinary person?"

"No, he is a pure mortal in terms of physical quality... However, there are also some strange rumors about him. The woman who has been with him for several months can't say anything when describing his appearance. I decided to The creditor he threw the body to the garbage dump, but passed him by without recognizing anyone. Similar situations like this happened repeatedly, so that he was still safe and sound despite being cursed by so many people."

"... Is it pure luck?"

"Perhaps. But I've heard other rumors, too."

Eden put his hand into his coat, and the Golden Nightingale jumped onto the back of his hand, looking at him with eyes made of gemstones.

"—The devil's bet. You should have heard similar rumors, right?"

Jing Huang pouted disapprovingly and said, "What kind of devil, that kind of thing is just..."

"It's basically a trap used by the original species to hunt and make family members." Eden said, "Usually, they will directly trade with the wisher fairly, which can absolutely guarantee that they will get what they want. But in some cases, There are also contracts established in the form of bets. As long as the participants do not lose their bets, they can ask the original species to realize their wishes at no cost—it is rumored that Malinovlas once had a fight with the devil Having established such a bet, he can make all those who have evil thoughts about him forget his appearance."

Jing Huang didn't seem to believe it.He thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "It's nonsense. Whether it's a bet or a deal, it's just a bait used by the original species for hunting, and the participants have no chance of winning. This kind of result is inevitable. Even the original species that established the contract cannot be changed. Do you think that a mortal like Marin who is full of desire can fight against the original species?"

"You seem to be very emotional about this matter."

"Yeah, this is what a certain original species told me personally. Even if he is unwilling to take away the soul, as long as he asks him for the wish, he will definitely die because of the failure of the bet. This kind of thing is like you You don’t always believe in the pretentious universal law, do you? You always think about finding a loophole to slip through.”

Jing Huang stared at him with deep meaning and said: "Their visual realm is totally different from ours, it is better to advise you not to think about the original species."

"Why do you think I have such an attempt?"

"Because you're a fucking arrogant and wicked narcissist."

Eden smiled nonchalantly.

"It seems that you still need to get two doors from me. Although I know your politeness level very well, it is not appropriate to start attacking me personally now, right?"

"Threatening me? I'm not only attacking you personally, but also trying to beat you. Yalai, show him that painting."

Allerica stepped forward.She showed Eden the block drawing under her arm.When he saw the content of the painting, the polite smile on Eden's face disappeared instantly.

"What is this?" he asked quietly.

"From the corpse of a werewolf... or the painting found under the wolf's fur. The palace in the air, and there are two villains. The one with blue eyes on the top should be you, right? The one on the bottom with the cloak and the dagger? Do you have any?" Impression? Maybe this guy helped you get rid of a murderer, and even left a clue to greet you. Then it should be someone you know, right?"

Eden stretched out his hand and took the initiative to bring the painting displayed by Yale Liga in front of him.He stared at the painting alone, and smiled gently again after a long time.

"I don't know who is in this picture."

"Fart! You're fucking laughing like this! The people in this painting are definitely not good people!"

"That's not the case. Although this painting does remind me of a person, I don't think the other person has a chance to appear in front of my eyes, and I don't think anyone still knows about him... It's an interesting situation. Are you threatening me by leaving this painting on the corpse?"

"What? This is your previous victim? Worried that he will take revenge on you?"

"That's not the case—even if the grievance persists, he should never come back, or be crushed and eaten by Yuanyuan."

"... Already dead?"

"It's not unreasonable to say that." Eden said, "He fell into the sea of ​​chaos when time and space were dislocated."
