hunt and eat

Chapter 413 I tried my best, destroy it, hurry up, I'm tired...

midnight
A tall figure sneaked into the empty kitchen, picked up a basin of cold sauced pig's trotters, and walked out of the house.

The moonlight shone on the man, revealing a familiar face.

It is the ancient pagoda that has "lost contact" for a whole day.

"Gah... I'm starving to death." While stuffing cold food into his mouth, Guta poked his head and looked around to make sure he didn't meet anyone, then he tiptoed and walked towards the hotel.

Halfway through, Guta had already eaten up a pot of sauced pig's trotters, even the bones were thoroughly chewed and swallowed.

With [Gluttonous Tooth] and [Void Bag], he can eat steel and ore without changing his face, which is quite normal.

Because it was relatively late, the ancient pagoda did not meet anyone along the way, and it turned to the back of the hotel.

For some reason, it is temporarily inconvenient for him to enter through the main entrance.

Squinting his eyes, he roughly confirmed which window his room belonged to. Guta jumped casually and grabbed the window sill on the second floor.

The jet-black fingers that had been strengthened with armed forces pierced directly into the wall, and then the ancient pagoda continued to climb upwards.

The room they lived in was on the left side of the fifth floor. Although the location was not too low, for the ancient pagoda, it only took ten seconds to climb up.

Unexpectedly, just passing by the window sill on the third floor, as the window opened, a head that was about to see the moonlight tonight poked out directly.

It was the person Guta didn't want to see the last time.

The captain of the investigation team - Varan!
Hearing the movement on the side, Varan turned his head in surprise, and then saw the ancient pagoda hanging in the air.

In the silent silence, the two looked at each other.

"You are..."

Before Varan could say a word, Guta showed a gloomy expression, and was about to climb down without making a sound.

So he hurriedly stopped the other party, and dragged Guta into his room.

"Although I don't know why you climbed the wall, isn't it good to just go out of my room and take the stairs?"

Varan still remembered that Guta lived on the fifth floor.

Of course, it wasn't just Guta's team, in fact, Varan remembered the room locations of everyone in the investigation team.

It was no accident that he became the youngest researcher.

"Oh, thank you. I'll go first if there's nothing else to do." Guta lowered his head, not daring to look at Varan, and hurried to the door of the room.

Unexpectedly, before he could hold the doorknob, Varan suddenly stopped him as if remembering something.

"Hey, wait, you reminded me, there is something I really want to ask you."

Holy Shit! I have nothing to say, why do I say this, it’s poisonous!

At this time, Guta really wanted to give himself a big mouth.

Turning around mechanically, he turned his face sideways very stiffly, and said in a low voice, "Is there... what's the matter?"

"Just what happened yesterday... Didn't you say that my sister and her former captain got married? I don't seem to have seen each other today?" Varan scratched his head in confusion.

Logically speaking, with his cousin's strong personality, he would definitely keep Ling Ban by his side, right?

Especially now that they should still be in the period of passionate love.

No, trust me, you [-]% have seen it.

Guta looked down at his toes, and there was a burst of sweat on his forehead.

The heart beats several times faster inexplicably, almost making a roar like a blower.

The imperial engine... start!
"Um, Guta, are you hot? You sweat so much..."

"Oh, climbing the wall to exercise just now, the amount of exercise is a bit heavy."

Guta said angrily while wiping his sweat.

"Oh, but why are you looking at the ground when you talk? It's a bit disrespectful."

"I... I didn't sleep well last night, I had a stiff neck."

"..."

Has anyone had a stiff neck in the front position?
For a while, Varan didn't know whether to complain or not.

"It's nothing, I'll just..."

"No, you haven't answered me yet." Varan hurriedly stopped, with a dubious look on his face.

Even though he was not very familiar with Guta, he also noticed that something was wrong with Guta at this time.

Why does this reaction seem to be deliberately changing the subject?
By the way, this guy hasn't seen anyone all day, is he hiding from me?
"Is there something you are hiding from me? It has something to do with my cousin? Could it be..."

"what?!"

Before Varan finished speaking, he was completely interrupted by Guta's piercing cry that increased several tens of decibels in an instant.

"What are you talking about? I have nothing to lie to you."

"Even if you are the client, don't even think about slandering me!"

Guta yelled exaggeratedly, but his footsteps moved imperceptibly towards the door.

"Hmph, friend, I'm very disappointed in you, you don't have a trace of trust in your comrades-in-arms, and you don't even want to call me... Dad!"

Pulling open the door, Guta rushed out with a regretful expression of "baby, I'm very disappointed".

Only Varan was left alone, with a question mark on his head, messy in the wind in the room.

Facing Guta's nonsense tactics of anti-client, the dragon researcher, who has always been accustomed to rational analysis, rarely fell into a brain crash.

He was trying to sort out the logic of Guta's reversal just now, but unfortunately, with his current ability, it seemed that he really couldn't do this.

But this is also a matter of course.

After all, Guta's last rebuttal was just talking nonsense in order to get away.

He himself didn't know what he was talking about.

……

Early next morning

Varan, who hadn't slept well all night, stood in front of Guta with dark circles under his eyes.

"What are you doing...I'm rushing to eat now, I'll talk about things later!" Guta shouted loudly.

"I thought about it all night, and finally came to the conclusion that you are hiding something from me."

Varan raised his head and said excitedly.

"..." Guta blinked his eyes.

You thought about it all night and came to this conclusion?
Isn't this stuff obvious?
The youngest researcher... that's it?
Really I can do it~
In fact, Guta still wanted to go wrong.

What really troubled Varan all night was not the fact that he had something to hide at all, but the nonsense he said before he left last night.

In the spirit of rigor, this young dragon researcher has almost used more than ten kinds of scientific demonstration methods, including exhaustive method, counter-evidence method, and reduction of absurd method. After ruling out all possibilities, he finally rushed to Before dawn, a definite conclusion was drawn.

Guta was talking nonsense last night!

Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations~
The brain circuits of smart people sometimes go around like this.

But you can't say that what he thinks is wrong.

"Uh, what..." Eyeballs rolled around for a while, and Guta was just about to make some more nonsense in order to get rid of this annoying guy, but he was patted on the shoulder silently.

Looking back, he saw a "marinated egg", shining brightly in the sun, making his eyes extremely painful.

"Oh! Hawk, what are you doing?" Covering his tearful eyes, Guta closed his eyes in pain.

"Should I ask you this? I heard you yelling here early in the morning, and it was also last night..." Hawke helped his sunglasses and said helplessly.

"This is?" Yesterday, because he was busy discussing the investigation plan with Valentina, and then rushed back to the contact point to write a letter to report to the headquarters of the Longli Academy, Valan had no chance to stand with his cousin Hawke at all. The assistant behind him spoke.

Now that we have met again, we should greet him emotionally and rationally, at least we know who he is.

"Damn it, don't..."

Before he could stop him, Hawk touched his bald head and said with a smile: "You are Valentina's cousin, it's the first time we meet..."

"I'm that girl's former partner. I wonder if she mentioned me to you?"

While talking, Hawke suddenly noticed that Varan's expression froze.

Eh?
Did you say anything strange?
Turning around mechanically, Varan opened his mouth wide, pointed at Hawke, and turned his small head back and forth between him and the ancient tower, almost realizing the great cause of "separate action" for a while.

"He's just...huh?"

In this regard, Guta, who had put on a mask of pain in advance, directly covered his face, as if giving up on himself, and said in an imperceptible voice:

"Ah, he is probably the one you are looking for."

"Maybe you can call him...brother-in-law."
