Chapter 166 Cooperation?


Chapter 166 Cooperation?

"I did the math, and my year's salary can't support him for half a month."

Milo counted with his fingers.

"I think I can survive for half a month." Old Xion muttered.

"Are you two listening carefully?" Dillashaw looked confused.

"Listen, listen, you continue." Milo waved his hand and asked: "So according to you, Ethan Field became like this after coming into contact with the broken page of Fenich's manuscript, right? So, right? Where is the Fenici manuscript? "

"It turns out that the manuscript is what you are most concerned about." Dillashaw captured Milo's intention very keenly.

“Fuck you, including that girl, there are a total of 8 other people missing. You said you were the first to arrive at the scene. Where have they gone?” Old Xion doesn’t care. What kind of manuscript is not a manuscript? He just wants to find the whereabouts of the missing person.

"Come one by one." Dillashaw knew how difficult old Xion was, so he didn't try to trouble him.

Then he said:

"First of all, the manuscript is gone. I'm sure of this. When I rushed to the scene, Ethan burned the manuscript. But I did not see the other missing persons you mentioned, but don't worry yet. After listening to my speculation, I said that ordinary humans who try to understand evil classics will bring disaster. Ethan obviously followed the instructions on the remaining pages of the manuscript and performed a certain ritual, which led to the disappearance of other people. It also led to his current appearance."

"Burned?" Milo frowned.

"I don't need to lie, you will understand in a moment." Dillashaw motioned Milo to calm down, and then said: "Remember the book I mentioned before called The Book of the Dead Is it the original book? It contains more than 800 pages of ancient magic. My inference is that the fragment of the page that Ethan Field obtained recorded one of the magic rituals, and it was this ritual that caused 8 "The disappearance of a big living person."

While Dillashaw was speaking, Milo looked at Maggie's shadow outside the door intentionally or unintentionally.

This time he didn't get a response from Maggie. Milo didn't know whether Maggie didn't want to talk to him or didn't know the truth at all.

"Since you don't know anything, why do you keep this half-dead guy?" Old Xion was puzzled.

"Research." Dillashaw's tone was very matter-of-fact. He replied calmly: "From the church's standpoint, we don't care what the so-called evil magic rituals are, and we don't need to know the missing persons. Where have they all gone? What we want to find is the driving force behind the whole thing, the Monsis scholar who betrayed the church. He single-handedly caused this tragedy, but we still haven’t figured out his intentions. What is it, if, I mean if, if Ethan can be restored to normal, maybe we can get some clues."

"But it is obvious that this guy is hopeless, and the organization has already. The final order has been issued. We will not continue to waste resources on him, so if the law enforcement team is interested, they can send someone to pick him up. Strictly speaking, he is still a living person, and the living person is under your control. Right? "

"It means let us clean up the mess." Milo glanced at the other party coldly, took out the copper ring that belonged to Ethan and asked, "Why did you bury this in the horse? Maggie’s grave.”

“It’s just part of the funeral ceremony. Ethan Field kept holding the ring and calling Maggie’s name when he was still conscious. We have reason to believe that this ring belongs to Maggie. Ji Green, according to the teachings of the Golden Rule, burying an empty grave is an act of deceiving the gods, so... we buried the ring." Dillashaw explained calmly.

"I know that another kid from Gus Association was shot dead earlier today, right? The killer came from Solomon, right? If you guessed correctly, the target person I have been tracking has already started Acted, indicating that the investigation of the two men has attracted his attention to some extent. This is a good sign, which shows that my speculation is correct. From the moment the Fenici manuscript was taken out for auction, this is One game, now we have begun to touch on some key clues, so I decided to help you a little, which can be regarded as helping myself."

"This guy is using us as a gun. "Yes." Old Xion's way of speaking was still so ruthless.

"No, no, no, it's information exchange. It's rare for us to stand on a common front and have a common target of investigation. Let's cooperate. Why not?" Dillashaw said with a smile. Said: "So in order to show sincerity, I decided to provide you with another clue that may be important."

"Under the condition?" Milo raised his eyebrows. "The condition is that you have to help me get rid of this hot potato. This thing has already spent most of the funds I can use. To put it bluntly, I can't afford to support him." Dillashaw pointed to the bed. Ethan said very frankly.

However, Milo didn't wait for a reply.

The dark shadow of Maggie who had been standing outside the secret room door suddenly jumped in!

The next weird scene appeared. The black shadow covered Ethan Field's body. It grabbed Ethan's throat with both hands and lifted his entire body into the air!

“Hell!”

“Is this the important clue you said?”

"I swear I have absolutely no idea what's going on!"

"Why are you standing there? Someone come and pull it off."

"No need, it's already dead."

Crack...

A skinny corpse fell onto the bed again.

Milo, Dillashaw, and Old Xion looked at each other in confusion.

Except for Milo, the other two people could not see the black shadow. From their perspective, Ethan's body just soared straight into the air, and he struggled for a few seconds before disappearing. There was movement.

Such a bizarre way of death was something they had never heard of, not to mention they had never seen it before.

Milo watched Maggie's shadow slowly leave the bed and stand outside the secret room door again.

He looked back at the two people who were a little scared in front of him, and spread his hands:

"Well...I know it's disrespectful to say this now, but it seems like your hot potato has just been solved. The other thing is...the dead are yours to take care of, right?"

"That's reasonable and well-founded. ." Old Xion added lightly.

"I have to report this first, excuse me."

Dillashaw obviously hasn't recovered from the weird visual impact just now, he stepped forward to check Ethan's pulse confirmed that the other party had completely expired and then hurriedly walked out.

Only Milo and old Theon were left in the secret room.

The latter still held a half-burned cigarette in his hand and muttered with a complicated expression:

"This is definitely a fake, or it is mixed with cheap goods..."
