After a long silence, Quinine Carrick stood up and gently swung his muzzle.

"Let's go in and take a look. If what you said is true, it should be a very important information for my employer. If it is fake, I promise that your head will definitely be like a watermelon."

Li Tong stood up, raised his hands and walked in front of him. The speed was quite slow, and he could even hear his heartbeat.

"Uh, you can actually put down your gun. That thing is not reliable and can easily get fire..."

Behind him, the bounty hunter's cold response came.

"So you have to be honest, I can't guarantee that this thing won't go off the fire."

If it were just two swords, there would be at least a glimmer of hope of resistance, but now it was a gun, and it was under the back. Li Tong joked about loving his life and had no idea of ​​resisting at all.

I walked to the desk and opened the drawer in the middle. I took out the diary inside carefully and handed it behind me. The diary was taken away. Now I can only wait for the other party to finish reading the diary content.

The room was silent, and the sound of pages turning sounded from time to time. Time passed by minute by minute, and the clocks in the outer room ticked, and the light that came through the curtains in the bedroom went from light to dark, and then to almost completely dark.

During this period, Li Tong almost tried every way to escape until it was completely dark, and all the ways to escape were eliminated from his mind due to various shortcomings.

The sound of the pages of the book behind me still came intermittently, and my feet had lost consciousness because they had not moved for a long time, so I just made an excuse to move.

"Well, Mr. Carrick, it's completely dark. If you don't mind, I can light a candle for you to read. Now... you can't see anything."

A thick voice came from behind.

"If you can't see it, it means I can't see it. Don't you understand the meaning of the four words "Get ability"?"

If you can't see it, it doesn't mean I can't see it... This sentence exploded in Li Tong's mind like a thunder.

The other party collected research materials on mysterious power for the employer, and must have been exposed to a lot of mysterious power materials. He awakened during the contact process and then gained the ability: night vision!

At this time, a heavy sound of closing the diary came from behind. After reading the diary, a crisp sound also sounded, which was the sound of the gun being pulled out of the chamber, and the thick sound rang out again.

"Now I'm sure you didn't lie to me, please turn it around."

Li Tong breathed a sigh of relief and turned slowly. In the darkness, he could only see the outline of the figure in front of him, and he could vaguely see the other party put away the gun.

Now he only hopes that the other party will quickly leave here after learning the truth, but the next sentence makes him understand that this is a delusion.

"Mr. Ronin Austin, you don't mind keeping me for dinner."

The outline of the figure gradually faded away and walked out of the bedroom door.

Li Tong had a temporary relaxation time and quickly bent over and groped in the darkness. He touched the bed and sat down, massaging his thighs and feet.

But it cannot be too long to avoid impatient people outside the bedroom.

After his thighs and feet recovered some consciousness, he quickly got up and returned to the bedroom. The faint light emitted by the remaining fire did not make him see nothing.

He glanced at the bounty hunter who was already sitting by the stove, walked over carefully and picked up the half candle left on the desk and walked around the stove and bent down to ignite.

The house is brighter.

From the path around, I walked back to the desk and put down the candle. Li Tong stared at the disturbing face under the candlelight and asked carefully.

"What do you want to eat? I have potatoes and beef, and bread."

Quinine Carrick was thinking about something, looking down at the stove.

"It's okay, it's enough to fill your stomach."

The most difficult thing in this world is "whatever". Li Tong hesitated for advice.

“Beef and fried shredded potatoes?”

Quinine Carrick said "yes" and looked up at the smiling young man.

"I have no research on what I eat. I don't know what you are talking about, just do whatever you want."

Only then did Li Tong remember that this old hat could not know how to fry shredded potatoes and steak, and his stomach made a "gurgling" sound at the right time.

"No matter what, just think it's delicious."

Take out the potatoes and the remaining beef from the cabinet, and take the large crucible that was originally used for the experiment to the stove, and muster up the courage.

"Well, Mr. Carrick, you don't mind sitting at the desk."

Quinine Carrick was stunned for a moment, glanced at the ingredients in the young man's hand, and then got up and sat next to the desk.

Cut the potatoes into shreds with a knife, soak them in water, pour vegetable oil into the already-heated crucible, and pour the potatoes into it, making a "hissing" sound. Li Tong took a special look at the bounty hunter's reaction, and then started cooking after confirming that it was not misunderstood.

Soon a plate of shredded potatoes came out of the oven. Pour in hot oil, put the beef in frying, and then make it out and cut it into two portions, and put two pieces of bread on it.

All the ingredients are out of the oven and are placed on the desk, and the only place to eat here is here.

Li Tong took out two wooden sticks used to replace chopsticks and placed them in front of each other, sat carefully on the opposite side, stretched out his hand to signal.

“Please have a meal.”

Looking at the two sticks, Quinine Carrick frowned.

Li Tong reacted and immediately changed into the only set of knife and fork cutlery and took back the two wooden sticks.

Quinine Carrick first tried shredded potatoes. The knife and fork were a little clumsy when it came to eating shredded potatoes. He used a fork to pick up the shredded potatoes and put them in his mouth to chew. After a moment, his eyes showed an incredible expression.

“Your cooking skills are by far the best I’ve ever seen, and I’ve never tasted such delicious food.”

Li Tong's tense nerves relaxed, signaled to smile, skillfully picked up the potato shreds with a wooden stick and put them in his mouth. He tossed all day and was almost hungry.

However, when he took the second bite, he saw the other party staring at the chopsticks in his hand, Li Tong immediately understood what was going on and explained casually.

"This is a tableware specially used to eat some thin strips of food. I call it "chopsticks". It's a bit difficult to master, but it will be more convenient to eat food after mastering it."

The following scene became very strange, and eating became a foil.

Quinine Carrick grabbed two sticks and struggled to imitate the young man in front of him. I have to say that this guy's hands-on ability is really messy. After a meal, he still can't describe the use of chopsticks.

As he stood up and packed the empty plates, Li Tong comforted the bounty hunter who was still unwilling to give up and practiced hard with two sticks.

"Don't worry, you'll get it after a few meals."

The two did not notice because of the little episode of learning to use chopsticks, the atmosphere in the house was subtly influenced and became more and more connected, and strangeness and fear disappeared.

After finishing packing the tableware and putting it together, Li Tong returned to the desk and sat down.

"Damn, if I met you earlier, I could have had a few more meals of this delicacy."

Looking at the young man sitting in front of him, Quinine Carrick placed two sticks beside him, complained for a few words and looked back to seriousness.

"The failed magic ritual allows you to escape the aftermath of the curse, but that doesn't mean you are not awakening,"

Li Tong was stunned. The return to serious topic made him realize that he was in a very dangerous situation at the moment, and the atmosphere instantly returned to tension.

"Hand stretched out."

Quinine Carrick put one hand on the desk and hooked his fingers, his tone unquestionable.

Li Tong had no choice but to stretch out his hand and kept complaining.

"I knew I should have made some mashed potatoes."

Quinine Carrick rolled up the young man's sleeves and rubbed the black lines that appeared on the wrists like plant roots with his calloused hands.

Then, a sharp dagger was pulled out from the belt, and the handle of the dagger was shiny.

"Is this guy going to cut my wrist?"

As the saying goes: A rabbit bites people even if it is anxious.

Li Tong opened his eyes wide and quickly stood up to pull his wrist back.

"Don't move, if you don't want to die."

Quinine Carrick pressed his wrist tightly and raised his head, his sharp eyes like sharp blades, emitting a cold light.

Li Tong felt a chill on his back and his body was completely frozen, as if his body did not belong to him, and even the consciousness of resistance could not emerge from his mind. At this moment, his mind was blank. He only felt his lips dry, and he opened his mouth, and found that no sound could be made, and his breathing stopped, as if he was about to suffocate.

As he watched the tip of the dagger gently pierce into the skin, a slight pain came, and his consciousness recovered a little, but he was only able to breathe quickly.

The pierced wrist was reversed, and the pierced side was facing downward towards the table, and the blood tickled onto the table and slowly spread out.

"If this continues, my blood will slowly flow out and die."

Such thoughts emerged in my mind, and the shadow of death slowly enveloped, but I could not have the courage or thought of resisting.

But an amazing scene soon appeared in front of you.

The blood spread to the size of a palm, flashing with a faint red light. The candlelight in the house was slowly replaced by this faint red light from the blood until the candlelight completely disappeared.

At this moment, the house was covered in blood, and blood emitting dim red light was like a mirror, and the picture appeared.

The blurred lines floated on the blood-stained mirror, making it impossible to see what it was.

But there is one thing that can be confirmed.

"The other party didn't want to let himself bleed and die."

Li Tong's heart, which jumped to his throat, gradually calmed down, and his tense nerves slowly relaxed, staring at the pattern on the mirror formed by the blood in front of him.

"This should be some kind of magic ritual, but what does this magic ritual do, and what does he want to do?"

Blood filled the air, and as time passed, a faint sound appeared in my ears.

The weak voice gradually became clear and loud, melodious and melodious, which made people relax their body and mind. There was an indescribable comfort, but it was impossible to tell which direction it came from.

"It's a chanting, which should be one of the accompanying phenomena of magic rituals."

Until the pattern on the blood stains in front of you becomes clear and stable, and completely appears in front of you.

The two spoke in unison.
