Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 149 The Guardian

He smiled freely and said: "Actually, it's okay. Although the factory is a bit tiring, if I save a little money, I can take care of my own life."

Chen Yan felt quite complicated in his heart at this moment.

Jack Baldo dared to say such news, which was equivalent to handing over his handle to him.

The Gunpowder Keg Gang is not a precarious gang formed by punks, but a powerful underground force with a long history composed of Francois with extraordinary people.

Taking this into consideration, Chen Yan understood that Jack Baldo had consciously handed over chips to him.

He really wants to live here.

Chen Yan knew that he must have other purposes for doing this.

But the bargaining chip he handed over...was too sincere.

Chen Yan was silent for a moment, and decided to exchange his chips to show his sincerity.

After hiding the most important part of his dream, he spoke it out.

"I found you through a dream..."

When Chen Yan told this story, street lights were already on on Walker Street.

The intensifying wind and snow obscured the view outside the window. Even under the light of street lamps, Walker Street was still a vast expanse of whiteness, and it was even impossible to see the outside from the windows of the residents on both sides of the street.

The occasional sparks jumping above the embers in the bread oven make the night more peaceful, and the white noise triggered by the steam lifting the lid of the teapot is even more peaceful.

The dream in Chen Yan's mouth seemed extraordinarily magical in such an environment.

After hearing Chen Yan finished speaking, Jack Baldo smiled wryly: "Ah, is that so... I have long heard that some superhumans in Yanan City can see reality through dreams... What a wonderful ability."

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I'm very worried about Marina...and the child in her belly."

There is no reason for this kind of concern. Chen Yan only knows that this kind of concern does not come from his "morality" or "kindness".

Where did this kind of concern come from? Chen Yan himself couldn't tell.

He just had this idea in his mind after he finished that dream:
That child needs protection.

Jack Baldo asked: "Is this concern because you [played] the child in the dream? So there is some kind of empathy?"

Chen Yan thought for two seconds, then slowly said: "I don't know... But I always feel that that child has something to do with me... Maybe it's just my imagination."

Jack Baldo patted Chen Yan's shoulder: "No matter what, I will protect that child from being born smoothly, so there is no need to worry!"

Chen Yan thought about it: "Are you going back to watch the night tonight?"

Jack Baldo grinned: "Of course! What a sacred mission it is to protect a pregnant woman!"

Chen Yan nodded and said, "I'll leave you a room on the first floor of the apartment—provided you pay the rent!"

And you two!You heard it too!Pay me the rent quickly!

Jack Baldo stood up, he seemed quite satisfied with this meeting, with a sincere smile on his face, he stretched out his hand, and said to Chen Yan: "Then, we are best friends now!"

A close friend is a close friend, and your close friend is too worthless...

Chen Yan stretched out his hand and shook hands with him: "I hope we can have a good time getting along."

Give me the list early...

Chen Yan didn't say this immediately, because it would make him seem too eager for quick success.

He was thinking of how to hint to the other party tactfully, but suddenly felt a pain in the palm of his hand.

He pulled out his hand like an electric shock, and saw that there was already a burnt pattern on the palm of his hand—it was a sun with ugly and abstract facial features!

"So, now, you have the emblem of the sun."

Jack Baldo smiled, picked up a piece of charcoal from the bread oven next to him, and drew a line of spells with unknown characters on the ground.

"This is my exclusive spell.

When you encounter difficulties, draw this charm, stand on the charm, open your arms to the sky, and shout [Praise the sun! 】

I will answer your call!Appear by your side! "

The three of Chen Yan looked at the exaggerated movements made by Jack Baldo, unable to raise their heads in embarrassment.

"Summoning is about summoning, can you stop playing such an embarrassing game..."

Jack Baldo laughed loudly, and then pulled out a piece of paper that had been warmed by body heat from his arms.

Under the dim kerosene lantern, there were not only sweat stains on the paper, but also some dried blood droplets, and there were burn marks in the corners, but those marks were not obvious, as if they were burnt quickly after being ignited. put out.

"This is Mr. Mergowyn's list."

Jack Baldo's expression became serious for the first time:
"This list has been tossed and turned in Yanan City several times in the past few months, and many people have guarded it with their lives. Please be sure to keep this thing...People's blood cannot be shed in vain."

Chen Yan stood up solemnly, took the list with both hands, folded it, and put it in the inner pocket of his clothes.

"Please rest assured, no matter what, I will not let this list be leaked."

As for the agreement with Claude Moon...let's put it aside for now.

Jack Baldo nodded: "Since Mr. Mogwynn chose you, he must have his reasons. I believe you are trustworthy."

Chen Yan was noncommittal about this.

He was a little unclear at the moment, whether the encounter with Johnny McGowan at the zoo at night was purely a coincidence, or something else...

He also couldn't understand why Jack Baldo trusted him so much.

At this moment, Jack Baldo saw Chen Yan's doubts.

He patted Chen Yan's shoulder again.

"I think you're a nice guy—that's all."

He grinned: "Besides, Mr. Mergowyn's vision is never wrong. I've known it since the day he rescued me from the dog cage."

Before Chen Yan understood, he waved to Chen Yan:

"Anyway, that's it for now!
The night has come, and the offal in the dark is about to appear, and it's time for me to go back.

Goodbye, dear friend! "

He just left the kitchen straight away and walked towards the door.

Chen Yan wanted to send him out, but saw him standing still at the gate, turned his head and said loudly: "My best friend! When you call me next time, if the voice is loud enough and the emotion is rich enough, I will hear it more clearly! "

The embarrassment on Chen Yan's face was so strong that water dripped out, and he responded with the same loud voice: "I will never use such a shameful method in my life!"

Jack Baldo responded with a bright smile, stood in the doorway, stretched his arms to the sky, and shouted: "Praise the sun!"

Then he went out and closed the door behind him.

Chen Yan took a deep breath and was stunned for half a minute before suddenly realizing something, his expression changed, and he rushed out the door.

The figure of Jack Baldo had disappeared into the wind and snow.

Forgot to ask Marina's due date...
