Whispering Verse

Chapter 103: afternoon

Just like what Captain Lades said, the gunshot only rang once, and the noise quickly disappeared downstairs. Xia De breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to continue the topic just now, but he didn't expect another gunshot from downstairs.

I thought that Captain Lades would still remain calm, but the middle-aged man stared blankly for a moment, and looked towards the window with horror and disbelief on his face.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem this time?"

Xia De immediately asked for advice.

"Blackjack .34! Glass pocket single shot! It's MI6!"

The originally calm middle-aged man trembled as if he was sick, and the panic on his face was probably even more exaggerated than when Xia De saw the evil **** again.

Xia De also shrank back nervously, but quickly regained his composure. It is impossible for Detective Sparrow to happen, and even if it happens, he will not be implicated, so he doesn't need to be nervous.

"What happened to MI6?"

This organization probably has something to do with Xia De, but the captain's nervousness is a bit weird.

"They're a bunch of devils and they don't trust anyone! They'll lock you up and keep gaslighting you and make you tell the truth! They'll keep you in dark huts and keep you from resting with the noise! they will......"

The terrified middle-aged man said while trembling, and Xia De probably understood. Captain Ladds was rescued from Carson Rik as a captive, and at the same time, because of his title of "Captain of Eight Guns" on the front line, he would of course be suspected after returning home.

He'd probably been interrogated by MI6 folks, and that left him with some sort of psychological shadow. Even though it was obvious that the other party was not looking for the captain, the middle-aged officer still fell into great fear as if some kind of switch had been turned on.

This kind of emotion can hardly be comforted, the captain shrank by the wall and did not dare to move, as if the people downstairs could see him through the wall. There was no movement downstairs for a long time before he gradually returned to normal, but Xia De saw that his neckline was completely wet.

"Captain, are you all right?"

Xia De said worriedly, the middle-aged officer shook his head, staggered to the table, picked up a wine bottle, took a sip, and then coughed several times after being choked, before recovering.

"Sorry to make you laugh."

Panting for breath, he put down the wine bottle, and sat down on the chair in front of the desk again.

"MI6... scary?"

Xia De tentatively asked, but he was a little worried that his question would make the captain feel uncomfortable. But the middle-aged man is still strong. Of course, it may be that sip of wine gave him courage:

"The people in MI6 are all lunatics who will not give up until they achieve their goals. They are probably more terrifying than the rumored superhumans."

The captain who seemed to have some knowledge shook his head and said:

"In recent years, there have been rumors that Kasenlik's Gray Gloves sent a group of rather rare spies, lurking in Tobesk, so MI6 has acted in such a high-profile manner in recent years, but this is another What's the use? There's even been rumors lately that the Gray Gloves are planning an operation against the royal family. Oh detective, you'd better not deal with them in your life, the people there are professionally trained, I even suspect they have no empathy at all and compassion."

The two of them went out for dinner after the captain had completely recovered from the shock just now and confirmed that the gunshots downstairs would not ring out again. Of course, the two men were arguing to pay the bill, and finally the young and strong Xia De got the chance to pay the bill.

The captain looked embarrassed, and promised to keep looking for the charm. And, if given the chance, he would introduce business to Xia De, and he also knew many people in this city.

After dinner, the two separated. Captain Ladds was going to the Veteran's Club to meet some acquaintances and try to find a new job. Xia De then set off to return to the Saint Teresa Square, played with Miya at home for a while, and translated more than ten pages of "The Four Elements of Chase: Wind and Fire".

At around 2:30 in the afternoon, when I was resting at the desk, I saw that the weather was fine today, so I planned to go for a walk outside. Of course, Xia De brought the orange cat Mia with her this time. Since she came to the Plaza de Saint Teresa, apart from going out to eat, this cat rarely has the opportunity to go out because of her timidity.

This can be regarded as going out to walk the cat, but because there is no suitable rope at hand, I am worried that Mia will get lost, so in fact, Xia De has been holding the cat all the time, and Mia is of course happy not to have to walk by herself.

The Place de Saint Teresa and the pigeons on the square are enough to see from the windows every day. Now that the weather is rare today, and even the mist surrounding the city has dissipated, he hiked to the university area of ​​Tobesk, which is more suitable for afternoon walks.

The university area is mostly a place for students and teachers of nearby colleges and universities. Although it looks the same as other places in Tobesk, but when you step on the tree-lined road, you instinctively feel that it is more comfortable here.

【That's your illusion, I didn't feel anything. 】

The detective holding the cat and the cat looked around to observe people on the boulevard, and then stopped at the Royal Mechanics College of Delarion to check the outer wall of the college. Even when you get up, you will sit on the lawn where you can bask in the sun for a while~lightnovelpub.net~ to enjoy the rare sunshine in summer.

There happened to be a group of young people playing Rhodes cards on the lawn. Judging from their attire and the books beside them, they were probably students of Tobesk Theological Seminary. Xia De also joined in the fun and walked over to watch their game. Listening to their conversation, a group of people are members of the "Rod Card Research Society" of Tobesk Theological Seminary.

"Why does the Seminary have a Rhodes Card Research Society?"

Shad was amused by this, but did not join in the poker game. After standing for a while, thinking of the mark on the map that the Terraria River crosses the university area, I wanted to go to the river bank for a walk. In a place where no one was around, maybe it would give Miya a chance to run around.

But as soon as he left the lawn and walked on the tree-lined avenue with mottled shadows, he noticed the carriage driving behind him.

She dodged to this side, but the carriage unexpectedly stopped beside Xia De slowly. The window was pushed open, and the face of the blond writer appeared in the compartment:

"Good afternoon, Detective. Oh?"

She looked at the cat in Xia De's arms and smiled:

"Walking? Or is there a request?"

"Good afternoon, Miss Louisa, I'm going for a walk, and I'm taking a walk with the cat."

Xia De wanted Mia to say hello to Miss Louisa, but the small orange cat was very shy and "snarled" at Miss Writer's meow~, then shrank in Xia De's arms and refused to move.

"Since it's all right, would you like to help me?"

Miss Louisa brushed her hair that fell by her ear.

"What are you doing?"

Xia De accepted the invitation, and Miss Louisa also got out of the four-wheeled carriage, and while looking for the change for the coachman, she explained:

"I heard strange rumors and wanted to buy something very special."

Xia De suddenly realized that he was going to contain the [relic].
