Chapter 955: caged mouse

[Fish Training Ring] It doesn't fit on the white mouse's paws or head. Xia De grabbed the mouse with one hand, and tied the ring with the mouse's slender tail as a rope. And as the relics work, the mentally retarded rats gradually no longer struggle, because the smart mind is occupying the high ground of the mind.

It raised its head to look at Xia De, Xia De looked at the tiny black mouse eyes, and clearly felt the emergence of wisdom from the trembling of the mouse's hair and the "look" of the eyes.

After a while, the white mouse spoke:

"Oh, you ****, **** it, are you going to **** me, I curse you ****, what a ****, ****."

Its voice is not loud, judging from its voice, this is a male mouse, and its age belongs to an adult mouse. In heavily accented Carson Riek, it cursed the Shad holding it, using words that the Shad couldn't even fully translate:

"The owl I met last time at Fort Midhill also seems to be very good at swearing in Carson Riek."

Thinking in his heart, he slightly increased the strength of his right hand grip. The mouse squeaked, but stopped cursing. Compared with the owl that Shad encountered at Fort Midhill, this lower town mouse was really rude.

"Is that why you hate me so much?"

He asked with a smile, and the mouse caught in his hand replied angrily:

"I can smell the cat smell on you through a door, it's even worse than Old John's beriberi!"

"John" is a very common name, so "Old John" here must not be Tobesk's stingy pawnbroker.

"Cat smell?"

Xia De looked at himself and realized that the mouse was talking about Mia:

"Are you afraid of cats?"

"Aren't you afraid of man-eating beasts?"

The white mouse asked back, wagging its tail with a ring on it, and its tone showed that it was very angry:

"But I am a brave mouse, call that cat out quickly, I will defeat it with my wisdom! Yes, I have wisdom now, and wisdom is my wealth and strength!"

Xia De held back his smile, and with Miniya's wisdom, the cat could easily play with this overwhelmed white mouse:

"Speaking of business, I'll ask you to answer. First of all, have any strange strangers been here in the past week or two?"

"you......"

"Except me."

"There were strange people before fifteen sun-moon cycles."

"How many people are there?"

"two!"

"What did they ask?"

"Similar to the question you just asked, if you would give me some cheese, I would..."

"Um?"

"I mean, they asked the same questions as you did, and then they knocked the poor guy out."

The unlucky guy refers to the owner of this white mouse.

"When the two humans left, they chatted about a place name, yes, that name is 39 Matilda Street!"

The mouse said quickly, as if he was really worried about being crushed to death by Xia De's palm. In fact, its worries are completely unnecessary. For any human beings and creatures with the same intelligence as humans, Shad will carefully consider whether to kill them.

This is respect for life.

"39 Matilda Street..."

Shad knew this street, but had only seen it on a map. He hadn't even been to Huntington half a month ago, and Shade couldn't confirm what those two people who found Rust Lane knew before he launched Operation Huntington.

With his left hand, he took out a piece of Xiaoxiaoya's cat food from his pocket and threw it on the table, and then put the mouse down amidst the pitiful begging of the white mouse.

The white mouse did not escape, but sniffed the expensive cat food. It didn't eat it right away, but said to Xia De again:

"My hearing is much better than that of humans. After they walked outside, I heard a few words. Voodoo, relic, sacrifice, time delay, once-in-a-hundred-year chance."

The white mouse described that the pronunciation of several words was very inaccurate, obviously it did not remember clearly.

"Voodoo Society? People from the Pantanal Voodoo Society?"

Xia De was very surprised:

"They are so careless, talking about this kind of topic in the alley."

【Don't you also often discuss sensitive topics with your friends on the street? 】

"She" asked with a smile, Xia De touched his nose and pretended not to hear, and said to the mouse that was about to eat:

"Mr. Mouse, thank you for your help. I'm leaving, do you want to go back to the cage, or do you want me to set you free?"

[Fish training ring] Xia De will definitely take it off, but he can let the mouse go and leave some money for the boss here.

The white mouse stepped on the wood grain on the counter, raised its head in horror, and said in a slang-mixed accent:

"Please don't put me outside, those wild cats and mice will eat me!"

"So, you'd like to go back to the cage?"

"Does it matter? Oh, you humans who have never lived in a cage will not understand how comfortable it is to have a stable cage and food for a fixed time. Just like I can't understand that you always like Like walking around outside, to me life in a cage is..."

Seeing that the rat had the tendency to become a philosopher, Shad took off the ring. While the white mouse was squeaking, he put it back into the cage and threw the grain of Xiaoxiaoya's high-end cat food over.

"These animals are really interesting."

Xia De thought in his heart.

Huntington, the capital of red wine, has a dense water network, and Matilda Street is a street that directly leads to the second largest river in the city, the "Thomson River". The east of this street starts at a five-fork intersection, and the west leads directly to the river bank. The overall length is not long.

Xia De believed that the white mouse was not lying, but when he came to Matilda Street at three o'clock that afternoon, he unexpectedly discovered that there was no number 39 on this street.

For the house numbers of Matilda Street, the odd numbers are on the north side, and the even numbers are on the south side. Numbers 1 and 2 are the flower shop and law firm next to the intersection of the five forks respectively. The last two house numbers at the end of the river are No. 37 and No. 38, which is the end of Matilda Street.

In order to prevent any mistakes, Xia De also specially inquired in the tavern on this street, and confirmed that there has never been a number 39 on Matilda Street. Although the street has been rebuilt many times in the past ten years, the number of house numbers is always no change.

There have not even been rumors of "invisible shops" or "No. 39 that appeared at night", which means that, no matter from the perspective of normal people or urban legends, what the white mouse said about Mattie No. 39 Erda Street does not exist at all.

Shade didn't rush back to Rust Lane to find the white mouse who refused to get out of the cage to continue talking about philosophy. Instead, taking advantage of the heavy fog in the afternoon, he left Matilda Street and came to the Thomson River Bank Street where it intersects.

In the afternoon, there were only a few women in headscarves washing clothes on the lower bank of the river, and the heavy fog on the river made it possible to see only the outlines of buildings on the other side of the river.

"It's also convenient to move."

Xia De followed the soil **** and carefully descended from the riverside street to the river. Of course, the city hall will not waste manpower to renovate the river bank. Weeds are overgrown on the bank, and the huge pipeline will continuously discharge the sewage from nowhere into the river. The shore is full of mud and garbage, and occasionally there are tin cans and broken kerosene lamps, things that may scratch the soles of shoes.

There are probably garbage pickers who regularly pick up garbage here, so the footprints on the river bank are very messy.

Xia De searched back and forth a few times at the position facing Matilda Street, and found the trace under the guidance of "her".

It was the uneven stone wall on the side of the river, and its position happened to be on the odd side of Matilda Street. There are very slight traces of elements on the stone wall, and according to Xia De's judgment, there should be an entrance covered by rituals and thaumaturgy.

Someone must have been here recently, and the other party was very sure that no one would find out, so they didn't even clean up their footprints.

Xia De touched the stone wall with his hand, roughly confirming the covered entrance. After careful observation on the stone wall, a small trace was found among the normal cracks and stains on the stone wall. If it is understood as words, the meaning is roughly:

[The great Pantanal will eventually regain the lost territory. 】

"It really is a voodoo society."

Xia De thought in his mind, and then used the thaumaturgy [Echo of the Past] to try to find the voices of the people who came here to determine the way to open the covered entrance. But it is a pity that after many attempts, the only sound in my ears is the noise of the city from above the river, and the only voices are the chasing children discussing fishing.

"In other words, this may be the local stronghold of Halder Ondiba, the owner of 'Arrow' decades ago. The Ring Warlock who came to look for him visited Rust Lane fifteen days ago, Came here again after finding no clues, but that was 48 hours ago, so I didn't hear the sound."

There is no trace of destruction here, which means that the first comers probably knew how to open the entrance a long time ago~lightnovelpub.net~ There is reason to believe that the two are also members of the Voodoo Society.

[So how do you open the entrance? 】

"She" whispered in Xia De's ear.

Xia De turned around and glanced at the sun in the sky at five o'clock in the afternoon, and looked left and right to make sure there was no one nearby:

"It's not easy. The other party just covered the entrance, not the space itself. I don't believe the other party has this kind of ability. Since there must be a space behind the stone wall, then..."

His right hand pressed against the stone wall:

"Flianna's Witch's Light!"

A golden light radiated from the palm, and as Xia De pressed his hand firmly against the stone wall, the golden light was like a flame melting ice, allowing Xia De's arm to be inserted into the stone wall.

Obviously, the ring warlock who used this place as his base also thought that someone would use violence to destroy the stone wall, so when Shad's wrist completely entered the stone wall, he felt that he had touched something extremely cold.

The cold and curse ran towards Xia De's heart along the palm of his hand, Xia De froze in place immediately, and then shivered suddenly:

"Oh, it's cold."

Complaining in his heart, he confirmed that the remaining curse had been completely suppressed by the divinity, so he continued to reach out to the stone wall. After encountering the curse three times in a row, one-third of his forearm had sunk into the stone wall, and only then did he finally feel that his palm had completely penetrated the stone and entered the space behind the stone.

Withdrawing his arms and squatting down slightly, he looked at the dark space inside the cave:

"It's so thick, do you think this place is the vault of the Bank of the Kingdom of Kaserik?" Click to download the APP of this site, massive novels, free to read!
