My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 70: Conversation with Centipede
After riding in the carriage for half a day, the group finally arrived at the port.

The police officer went straight into the requisitioned Port Authority and asked the two to wait there for a while.

Jules took this opportunity to look around.

At this moment, the port has been blocked by the police station, and police officers are running back and forth everywhere, making it quite lively.

Of course, he knew that the Anti-Suppression Bureau was actually behind this, but it was just using the name of the police station.

From time to time, the victims' families would claim the bodies and leave crying.

Judging from their attire, there were even some respectable aristocrats among them.

Unfortunately, when it comes to life and death, people are far more fragile than we imagine.

After the police officer came out of the Port Authority, Jules asked:
"Where is that 'centipede'?"

Hearing Jules' question, he said respectfully:
"That gentleman is in the Port Authority."

After saying this, he looked at Elizabeth hesitantly:

"Um, but miss, you probably can't go in with this gentleman. I have something to ask you about the Siren. Could you please stay in this room for a while?"

Elizabeth nodded and said:
"it is good."

She obviously knows what's important.

"Thank you for your understanding."

The police officer took Elizabeth to the door of the next room, knocked on the door and said a few words, then came back trotting and said with a smile:
"Please come with me."

Following the police officer, Jules moved slowly up the stairs of the Port Authority.

Even with the support of the police officers, he still felt a piercing pain in his body with every step he took.

Although it was not unbearable, he knew that if it was not resolved, the injury would sooner or later be enough to take his life.

"If Centipede is friendly, I can ask if there is any way to cure my injury..." His eyes flashed slightly.

Although Centipede generally showed support for him, he knew that the other party must be an old fox.

There is a high probability that the plan of using oneself to "fish" is promoted by Centipede!
When they reached the corridor on the second floor, the police officer suddenly stopped in front of a half-open door.

He did not knock on the door, but said respectfully outside the door:

"Sir, the one you are waiting for is here."

A hoarse voice came from it:
"Invite him in."

Hearing this, the police officer bowed to Jules:
"Please take your time to discuss this. I won't be staying any longer."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Jules standing alone in the corridor.

Centipede... Yule curled the corners of his mouth and gently pushed the door open.

What caught his eye was a tall, thin gentleman with sunken eyes, sitting behind a desk, staring at him.

At this moment, two cups of tea have been brewed on the table, steaming hot, obviously they were brewed not long ago.

"Please take a seat."

The centipede smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

After Yule turned around and closed the door, he sat down with some difficulty. When he looked up again, he saw the centipede staring at him with a frown.

"You are hurt?"

He clearly noticed something abnormal about Jules' gait and body.

Yule raised the corner of his mouth: "I won't die for the time being."

Hearing this, the centipede's brows relaxed slightly:

"I don't know much about this. I'll find two doctors to check you out when we get back."

Jules curled his lips:
"Thank you very much."

After that, he asked the question that concerned him most:
"How are my friends?"

Centipede drank a sip of tea and said lightly:

"The person who broke the rules has been killed by me. They are safe now." He said it so lightly, as if he was crushing an ant to death.

But to Jules, it had a different meaning.

He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:
"Then I have to thank Master Centipede."

Although the centipede didn't say it, he knew that the person who attacked him was at the third level. If he wanted to kill him, he would have to have some real skills.

Yule picked up the teacup and blew on it gently. Just as he drank the hot tea he hadn't tasted in a long time, he heard the centipede's voice:

"Have you been at Stonehenge all week?"

Seeing Jules nod, he continued:
"Did something happen inside?"

Yule raised his eyebrows, put down his teacup, and said:

"how you said that?"

Could it be that they sensed the strange phenomena brought about by the arrival of Si Chen?
Although the inside and outside of Stonehenge are almost two different spaces, he is not sure
Centipede drank a sip of tea and recalled:

"According to the interrogation of the natives and the Wellington family guards, we learned that a few minutes after you entered, the fog at Stonehenge suddenly changed, and no one could enter anymore."

"We've tried many methods, even secretly performing two opening ceremonies to try to open a door, but unfortunately, all efforts were in vain."

He looked at Jules with a strange look in his eyes:

"To be honest, we all thought you were dead in there."

After Yule pondered for a while, he said:
"You can't enter now?"

"No, we have all given up exploring Stonehenge, otherwise we wouldn't have just sent a police officer there." Centipede shook his head.

After hearing this, Jules secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Stonehenge can only be exited but not entered, then there will be no possibility of the secret of Si Chen being leaked.

However, according to what the centipede said, the speed of time flow in Stonehenge is indeed different from that in the outside world.

Only a few minutes had passed in the outside world, but inside, perhaps the time had already arrived and the sacrificial ceremony had been completed long ago.

Oh, right, about the sacrifice... Jules narrowed his eyes and asked casually:

"How did the Anti-Suppression Bureau know about the Siren's accident?"

Logically speaking, the Suppression Bureau shouldn't have known about it so quickly - after all, this is the only ship traveling to and from the Rock Islands.

The Siren would not go back directly, but would return to the Port of London after completing a voyage lasting several days.

There was a delay in the transmission of the message, so he couldn't help but be suspicious.

To his surprise, the centipede just smiled and said calmly:
"In fact, we didn't know about it at first. It was only after I discovered that the compass's connection was suddenly and completely disconnected that I sent someone to check the situation. Only then did we know that something had happened here."

Jules subconsciously wanted to take out the compass, but then he remembered that it seemed to have been forgotten in Stonehenge.

He pursed his lips, looked directly at the centipede, and said:

"So, you can sense me with the compass too, right?"

The centipede nodded slightly.

Jules laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that I might feel resentful?"

Centipede stroked the teacup and said leisurely:

"In fact, the plan to take you fishing was also made by me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange.

Yule raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

But the centipede seemed not to notice, and just continued:
"But I can tell from what Steel said that you are a smart man."

“I’m happy to communicate with smart people because they know how to act according to their own interests and can save me a lot of trouble.”

Jules leaned back in his chair and chuckled:
"So, what is your purpose in telling me this?"

The centipede stared at Yule and said calmly:
"I plan to wipe out the Wellington family. Are you interested in being one of the leaders?"
