Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 70 The Reappearance of the Paper Murderer

What exactly is Claude Moon's purpose?
What exactly does he want from me?
Chen Yan didn't know, and he couldn't ask directly. The other party had ten thousand reasons to evade his question—unless his question was precise enough and couldn't be avoided.

"Cough cough."

On the ground, two eyes emerged from the head of Chen Yan's shadow, which were the same brown pupils with a white background as ordinary humans.

Those were Claude Moon's eyes.

"Mr. Chen, to be honest, this matter is only good for you."

He was trying to convince Chen Yan.

"You'll get an empire middle class: the legacy of Johnny Mergowyn, and the goodwill of the Powder Keg Gang.

With all due respect, this is a huge favor - you Asians value human favors the most, don't you? "

Chen Yan didn't speak.

"And what you pay is just some time——

Go down town, go to those corner alleys, and find that undead man named Jack Baldo.

This doesn't really take much time.

Actually, you don't have much time, do you? "

Everything he said was true.

Chen Yan remained silent.

He is cautious enough and does not make any decisions lightly.

The gunpowder keg gang's hunter didn't rush either, he seemed to be extra patient - compared to the previous zoo hunter Wilson and wizard hunter Green, the old man in front of him was more like a hunter waiting for his prey to enter the hunting range.

This feeling made Chen Yan more cautious.

"I need 5 minutes to be alone." Chen Yan said to them.

The hunter of the Powder Keg Gang said cheerfully: "Good business is never afraid of being late, I am willing to wait."

Chen Yan looked at the shadow on the ground.

The eyes of the shadow's head blinked, and then Claude Moon's voice came.

"definitely no problem."

A dense shadow squirmed on the ground, extending from Chen Yan's shadow into the powder keg gang hunter's shadow.

The hunter of the Powder Keg Gang took off his beret, put it on his chest, bent slightly towards Chen Yan, looked him in the eyes, and exited the secret room backwards.

The door of the secret room was gently closed.

Chen Yan immediately turned around and looked at the note on the small counter.

Sure enough, the handwriting on the note changed again.

【Is there any unprofitable business in this world?
No.

They'll make a killing.

And you, who got the inheritance of Johnny Mergowyn, who thought you made a lot of money, will only be the poorest profiter in this business.

Even Claude Moon, the agent of the Moon Family who is neither human nor ghost, can get more from you than you can get! 】

Chen Yan quickly picked up the phone, turned on the Ling Vision camera, and turned the camera to the small counter in the center of the room.

In the spirit vision, there was nothing on the small counter.

Nothing, nothing exists!
Chen Yan immediately raised the phone and quickly scanned the surroundings with the Ling Vision camera.

Still nothing—not even a ghost!

He turned his eyes to the note on the small counter.

The handwriting on the note changed again.

【Oh, you idiot. 】

Chen Yan gritted her teeth: "Who the hell are you..."

He was only halfway through saying this when he suddenly realized something.

He had seen such notes before.

On the night before—the night Geralt Sif was frightened to death in his apartment at 33 Walker Street—the perverted note killer used this to kill!

"You are that perverted note killer!"

The bastard!How did you find me? !
Could it be... like Claude Moon, he has been following me in an extraordinary way? !
He watched helplessly as the handwriting on the note began to change, and the ink marks began to arrange and combine under his nose!
【Oh?Interesting, now you know who I am? 】

Chen Yan picked up the note.

【Hey, what are you doing. 】

He tore the note in half.

[No] [What are you doing!I'm helping you! 】

[You are] [Really stupid! 】

【idiot! 】【Stop tearing it up! 】

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yan tore up the note.

Under the dim kerosene lamp, only some words on scraps of paper can be vaguely seen:
【You】【Mom】【Lao Tzu】【Serve】

Chen Yan scattered the note all over the floor.

Then exit Spirit Vision and find Lawrence Argent in the address book.

After clicking in, hover the cursor over Lawrence Argent's encrypted phone number.

Chen Yan took a deep breath and called Lawrence.

The difference from the last time is that after dialing this time, the waiting sound of "Dididi" or "Beep beep" did not come out of the phone.

It was a passage from a certain opera sung by a pleasant voice using the "elegant language" of the empire.

"If love is blind, it misses the mark.

At this moment, he should sit under the loquat tree, hoping that his lover is the loquat in his mouth.

O Romeo, if she were indeed a loquat for you. "(Note 1)

This is so... is it a dirty joke...

Lawrence is so wicked that he even set the dirty jokes as the waiting ringtone before the phone is connected...

Chen Yan couldn't continue listening because Lawrence connected the phone.

"Mr. Chen, you really know how to pick your time. I just finished dealing with things and I'm going to sleep."

There was exhaustion in his voice.

Chen Yan said in an apologetic voice:
"I'm really sorry, but I've run into unsolvable difficulties."

The voice on the other side of the phone got a little more energetic.

"Appreciate further details."

Chen Yan cleared his throat lightly, and summed up the language.

"I met a hunter from the Powder Keg Gang, and someone from the Moon Familia.

They're going to make a deal with me, but I don't trust them. "

Lawrence didn't seem to think about it, so he responded directly:

"Can you profit from this deal?"

Chen Yan replied: "Of course."

The current tone on the phone is mixed with the sound of snapping fingers:
"That's enough, Mr. Chen. A business is a business. As long as you can make a profit and don't lock yourself up, you must try it out—not to mention, this business is guaranteed by the Moon God, and your credibility is full."

"This kind of business, why not give it a try?"

Chen Yan understood that after hearing what he said, Lawrence knew the form of this transaction—with Claude Moon as the notary and the blood of the Moon Family as the notary authority, the contract was made.

"I see, Mr. Argent."

There was some interest in the voice on the other side of the phone.

"Ha, Mr. Chen, you seldom call me Mr., it seems that I have played a little role for you, hasn't it?"

Chen Yan discovered that Lawrence is a guy who likes to tease others.

Before he could speak, Lawrence's voice came from the phone.

"No need to explain, Mr. Chen, I was just joking."

"By the way, tonight, you have to go home early."

"I told you before that there was some chaos in the lower city... Now it seems that it's not as simple as the chaos."
