Chapter 895: Ice Cream Shop
Zriel had no other choice.
Or rather, she didn't dare to make any other choice.
So in front of Ronald, the owner of the candy store began to tell his brother in detail about his brother's situation this month.
In the mouth of this own sister.
Barty's actions in the past month are actually quite in line with what Ronald knows.
The first week of the destruction of the southeastern city.
Barty took most of the remains of the Holy Spirit from Lalaye, and then began to concentrate on strengthening his body and prolonging his life.
This phase took almost ten days.
Later, Barty announced to the public and also told his own sister that his life span had been extended to a large extent, and his strength had improved compared to before, and then he devoted himself to his past work as usual.
Two weeks of follow-up work.
Barty has shown a great passion for his work.
He has frequent contact with his subordinates in various departments and has a detailed understanding of the changing situation within Waterfall. And this commercial street is a subordinate unit under his direct management, and Barty will inevitably come to inspect it every three days.
It's just the last week, the last seven days.
The situation changed suddenly.
Barty's visits to the business district have dropped dramatically, arriving only once on Friday afternoon.
He then returned to the Consulate and has not been seen again to this day.
It's all the personal experience of Barty's sister, Zriel.
And next...... That's Ronald's visit this evening.
“……”
Ronald and Zriel discuss Barty's activities in detail.
Then he sat down on the couch with a gloomy face, the tips of his right fingers tapping his knee regularly.
Still nothing new has been discovered.
He inspected the shops in the business district one by one tonight, and he took the several shops that Barty frequently visited as the focus of his observation.
But now he has turned back to Zriel's candy store.
Ronald still hasn't been able to find any ...... of eukaryotes hiding in these operating shops
Wait a minute!
A shop in operation!
Ronald's thoughts came to a sudden pause.
- He realized what he had overlooked tonight.
Due to the nighttime period, most of the shops in the commercial area are closed and closed. In this case, Ronald naturally takes a very good look at the individual cases and distinguishes the stores that are in normal operation.
Normal search thinking should not be used at this moment!
If it comes to eukaryotes, the store is not in operation.
Is there no one to watch even at night?
A shop that is still in preparation, empty at night, unattended, and with eukaryotic creatures lurking!
You must know that Ronald's large-scale search spell, the direction of specialization is still on humans.
If that's the case.
Then it is likely that he missed the search for eukaryotes for this reason.
"Ms. Zriel, the last month... No! In the last two to three weeks, are there any shops in the business district that are ready to open? ”
"A store ready to open?"
Hearing Ronald's inquiry, Zriel's expression changed.
However, before the owner of the candy store could answer, Oakle, who was sitting next to Ronald, spoke first:
"I know that, Mr. Ronald. If you want to talk about the shops that are about to open in the business district recently, the most famous is definitely the Cabo ice cream shop! ”
Ha?
Ice cream shop?
Ronald's expression was stunned, and then his face immediately became nervous:
"Oakle, tell me more about it?"
The agent didn't know the specifics yet, so he naturally didn't understand why Ronald was suddenly nervous.
But after taking a closer look at Ronald's expression, he still honestly introduced:
"Four hundred meters down the waterway avenue, there is a shop called Capo Ice Cream that is about to open recently. Recently, they have been advertising the most aggressively near the shopping street, and according to a few people who have tried their products, the ice cream tastes really good."
“……”
His sixth sense tells Ronald that he's found his target.
It's just that this result is too horrible.
It even reminded him of a movie he watched as a child.
In that film, someone finds a delicious white substance gushing out of the ground and sells it as ice cream in an attempt to make money - but in reality, the white object is actually an alien creature capable of eating away at human bodies.
And so it turned into an extremely dangerous horror story.
Ronald has a very strong sense of immediacy at the moment.
This used to be a scene from a movie, but now it seems to be reproduced in another world!
"Where's that ice cream shop? Let's rush over right away! ”
Faced with this situation.
Naturally, Ronald could not continue to sit in the reception room and chat with Zriel.
He stood up and dragged Oaker out, and the voice came from the hallway into the reception room after the figure disappeared into the doorway:
"Miss Zriel, please forgive me for interrupting me tonight!"
"But this matter is indeed related to the safety of the entire Waterfall City, and I was forced to make such a rude action out of desperation!"
The voice landed, and Ronald didn't wait for Zriel's reply.
With one hand, he dragged Agent Oakle, who had been forcibly recruited by him, and the two jumped down the stairs in a few steps, turned around and hurried out of the store through the door.
Then under the darkness of the night.
Oaker was dragged forward by Ronald.
After knowing that the distance of more than 100 meters was crossed by the two, the agent struggled to ask:
"Mr. Ronald, do you think there might be something wrong with that ice cream shop?"
Ronald replied in the affirmative:
"It's not that there could be a problem, but that there must be a problem!"
The confidence in the words comes from previous investigations.
In the first round of inspections tonight, Ronald inspected all the shops on the high street that showed signs of activity.
But this ice cream shop is not one of them.
So a store that was preparing to open and had been widely advertised, on the eve of the official opening, there was no one to guard the store at night!
Where is this something that a normal person can do?
The only possible explanation is that the clerk of that shop is parasitized by eukaryotes, and even the night guards are not normal people!
"Ah......h
Seeing Ronald give his own answer.
Oaker knew that he was in trouble, and his face was naturally extremely bad.
But the power is stronger than people.
As a night patrol agent in Falls City, he was recruited after encountering this situation, and he could only work honestly.
Immediately, Orco also changed to a serious work attitude.
Sensing that danger would follow, he activated his defensive spell before walking in front of Ronald to lead the way.
At a speed that the two of them were far faster than ordinary people.
Just a few minutes later, they arrived at the location called the Capo Ice Cream Shop.
