old dream

Chapter 50
When the time came to 45:[-], Giovanni did not make any more entrustments to Colin.

All Colin needs to do is to stare behind him for a while, and cover up when necessary.

This is just a euphemism, after all, they have already found out that there is only one person in the tavern named "Aphrodisiac Fruit".

After the dead appeared, "Gunhole" Rich pulled everyone else out of the tavern.The food and water delivered every week are just placed at the back door.

Therefore, there is basically nothing to follow and cover. Colin's real task is to follow them and watch.

"What if the previous guess was wrong and there was an accident?"

"Then we have to die together." Giovanni said innocently: "Alessio may be spared, but as for you, I can only say sorry for getting involved."

"Then can I choose to quit now?" Colin said with the corners of his mouth twitching.

Giovanni's expression was too subtle, and Colin couldn't tell whether he was joking on purpose or the truth.

However, now that they have been operating steadily for so many years, the experience should be seasoned enough to be trustworthy.

This time, it is also a rare and precious opportunity for Colin to have a glimpse of the scale shadow of the extraordinary level battle.

After all, within this month, he should complete a certain mission with Mr. No. [-], which is what Mr. No. [-] said on the bridge to "kill a person".

But he always felt that Mr. No. [-] was too often out of tune and a little unreliable.

He didn't expect to step into the extraordinary battlefield without a concept, and then lose his life in vain like a consumable.

So Giovanni was able to bring him to act together this time, which was a timely and rain-like support.

What's more valuable is that Giovanni will tell Colin their own analysis and action process.

On the rooftop, Giovanni suddenly handed Colin a "soldier" pawn and asked.

"Alessio, can you hear me this way?"

"Well, I heard you talking non-stop, so I went away to be quiet for a while." Arecio's voice sounded out of thin air.It seemed to be coming from a corner of the rooftop.Colin turned his head to look around, but didn't see him.

"He's not here." As if seeing Colin's doubts, Giovanni explained: "Alessio will support us not far away."

As for the sound that came out of nowhere, maybe it was some kind of ritual that could be used for instant communication.

Taking Giovanni's chess piece just now, he may have allowed himself to enter the scope of the ceremony, so that he could hear Arecio's voice.

It was as convenient as a walkie-talkie, and Colin felt a little emotional.However, presumably this technology still has flaws in terms of distance or safety, otherwise the newsroom of the seminary would not rely on the red letter instrument on such a large scale as it does today.

"Did you bring your own gun?" Giovanni asked casually.

"Yeah." Colin gestured to him for the gun holster hidden under the hem of his shirt.

The usual [-]mm revolver.

This fight will take place indoors, so overly long guns are not a good option.

"We don't go through the front and rear doors, and we don't go through the windows," Giovanni said. "We try to avoid the path that the deceased walked on."

In some local legends, the front and rear doors and the windows are the passages for the soul to enter and exit.

According to those far-flung customs, when a baby is born or someone dies, these two doors are also opened to prevent the soul from passing through.

Although it is not known whether this has any specific connection with that thing, Giovanni and Arecio still did not choose to enter the tavern through the back door, just because that was the path the dead walked a few weeks ago.

There is too little information, and they cannot be completely sure what the thing in the tavern is, which is also a common thing.There are many imaginary creatures that only appear in reality once in a few decades, and humans often haven't had time to name them.

But now that there is already a hapless ghost to help them explore the way, they have some reference directions.

Time, direction, path, association, the deceased must have a certain action or state before his death, which is the opportunity for him to enter the frequency limit of that thing.

Even if some places are not necessarily related, they should be avoided as much as possible, because this will increase the probability of a little bit of safety.

Giovanni took a bundle of rope from the large canvas bag he had left under the railing, and spread it evenly on the ground at comb-like intervals, so that the rope would not get knotted when it was pulled quickly.

He took out another pistol-shaped launcher, installed the rope, and fired an anchor hook at the tavern just a block away.

In the sound of "whoosh", the ropes arranged on the rooftop were quickly pulled out.Then there was the sound of metal parts colliding with the stone railings in the distance.

In the silent night, the movement sounded like a small tile falling to the ground.

Colin was a little worried that people in the tavern would hear the sound.

Giovanni immediately pulled the launcher back, and the anchor hook was firmly buckled.He carefully tied the other end of the rope to the railing, smiled at Colin and said:

"The sliding hook is in the bag, come over after I hit the ground. Remember to hold on tight, don't fall."

Then he hung the rope on the slip hook that was tied to him, flipped out of the railing, and lowered to the rooftop of the tavern.

Although the original purpose of this was to avoid the front and rear doors and windows, this infiltration method itself seems to be not bad.

Colin did as he said, because the sliding hook itself actually has a certain friction, so the speed of airborne through the zipline is not as fast as expected.It took dozens of seconds to slide from the height to the rooftop of the tavern.

The advantage is that there is almost no sound throughout the whole process, and the disadvantage is that it will fall into a defenseless state when suspended in the air.

The two entered the "Aphrodisiac Fruit" tavern from the rooftop.It is more appropriate to say that it is a pub, rather than a restaurant.

The old red brick buildings that are common in slums have plastered on the walls.The area is as small as a residential house, with only two floors above and below.

Colin and Giovanni entered the second floor from the rooftop.The hallway is narrow and the doors on either side are closed.There appears to be accommodation here as well.

Giovanni walked forward carelessly, while Colin watched around with relative caution, but did not dare to stare at a certain place.

He was afraid that if he looked at it for a long time, he would see something like a cat or a rabbit.Whether that's what it was originally.

It is said that most human ghosts will appear in a certain image in life, and only devils will turn themselves into white cats and black dogs.

"I just determined its location." Alessio's voice came.

Knowing that he was referring to the spiritual body in the wizard's consciousness downstairs, Colin breathed a sigh of relief.

Having him help with positioning is a lot more reassuring.

After all, if you can determine the opponent's location, you don't have to be too suspicious.

When Colin thought so, Arecio said:

"...It floated up from the very beginning, and has been following Colin."
