Although he was "lucky" to strike up a conversation with the "host" from the beginning, John still couldn't chat with him for long.

John knew very well that this was not just because the other party left because of something else - for him, it was just a superficial reason. The key ultimately was that he, John Stewart, did not have a job that was "equal" with the other party.

"The ability to talk.

Of course, he already knew this very clearly from the moment he decided to join the team and enter this "human forbidden zone" to carry out the mission.

Yes, as long as you do the best you can, that's enough.

only……

"If you want, just call me 'greedy'... By the way, I have a question that I want to ask you first. What is the specific reason why you... or 'you' came here from the United States?"

What, can you tell me?"

"Well... this... well, it's nothing, I just want to investigate as soon as possible - you know, for us humans, this is an outright disaster."

"Oh, is it so?"

"Of course."

"Is that so? Well... In fact, I still have information on hand that is somewhat related to you. Originally, I wanted to judge the value of this 'intelligence' to you based on your answer to the question I just asked.

Is it good news or bad news? Unfortunately, from your answer, I still smell some "false" and "perfunctory". Okay! It's no wonder, after all, we have just met each other, and we have maintained enough

It is still necessary to be wary... Well, Mr. Stewart must be tired from coming all the way, so go over there and have a good rest first! I have already told everyone that you are my invited guest, and everyone will entertain you well.

Yes. I still have something to do, so let’s talk at another time!”

After having such a conversation, the tall and "ferocious" black figure walked towards the main door of the main hall and disappeared behind the half-open door.

John just subconsciously took a small step towards the other person's leaving figure, but in the end he still didn't try to follow. Firstly, it was naturally because his mind was already occupied by the surprise and suspicion caused by the other person's last words just now.

And secondly... to be honest, the pace of the other party's departure clearly didn't feel that fast in his eyes, but only after that did he realize that even if he wanted to catch up, he probably couldn't.

"It doesn't matter whether he is the 'Despicable Haierbo' or not, at least this is definitely an... extremely dangerous guy!"

Although John has not really met the "ancient dark wizard Mr. Haierbo" until now, whether from an objective point of view or subjective intuition, he has already understood this "Lord of the Living Corpse Clan"

He took the lead and moved to the same position as Haierbo.

"...Also, what are the 'good news' and 'bad news' that guy mentioned just now?"

John, who had been stunned for a while, couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart. Then he opened his somewhat stiff legs and left towards the girl Bai Ye, who was also the "greedy" who finally fought for him.

Pointing in the direction of the side hall door, he walked cautiously step by step.

…

"Mr. Stewart, tea, please."

At the long table in the corner of the side hall, John was sitting uncomfortably while watching the orange-red tea slowly pouring from the spout of the pot into the cup, exuding an elegant and refreshing grape-like aroma.

After the tea set, there are two shelves of delicious-looking baked desserts, as well as the ice cream that "Mr. Greedy" mentioned earlier.

To be honest, this should have been a rather leisurely and relaxing scene of tea break... Yes, it should have been like this.

However, both the "person" who poured him tea and his current situation were deeply inconsistent with this pleasant atmosphere.

"Thank you, thank you."

When John turned his head to express his gratitude to the "person" who poured the tea, the tea happened to fill up the tea cup. The other person didn't know whether he was accepting his politeness, but he nodded gently with the part that was probably his "head"

For a moment, he put down the exquisite teapot and stepped aside "using all six legs together".

That's right, the person who poured him tea... seemed to be the living corpse of the "lady", with a total of four arms and six legs! Although it was a bit disrespectful to say this, to be honest, John still felt that the other person looked more like a human than...

...In fact, it is somewhat similar to a spider - even though the limbs are obviously human.

Of course, although he was shocked enough in his heart, John could still endure it based on his endurance. At least on the surface, he would not show any disrespectful attitude easily.

"You're welcome, Mr. Stewart. You are a distinguished guest invited by the master, so please feel free to enjoy the food! Don't be too restrained."

The gentle voice came slowly from across the table. When John heard the voice, he immediately calmed down and nodded slightly towards the other party. At this moment, he was somewhat lucky, leaving aside the "lady" who served him snacks and tea.

At any rate, the appearance of the person in front of me is the same as that of the girl named "White Night", and she still feels roughly similar to a human being.

The other party is actually the "eldest sister" in Bai Ye's mouth, that is, the person who was ordered by "Mr. Greedy" to entertain him.

"Hmm...oh, this tea is really good, I like it very much." John followed the instructions and took a sip from the tea cup, savoring the fragrant and sweet taste of the obviously extremely high-end tea leaves, with a particularly subtle mood.

said.

Look at where you are sitting and drinking tea. Needless to say, the origin of these tea leaves and this tea set, you can guess it with your knees, right?

But the other party's skill in making tea, and the fact that these are obviously freshly baked snacks today... Mr. Greedy seemed to have said before that the ice cream was made by "Miss Hannah Abbott", so...

…Are these refreshments probably taught by the humans who came here to the living corpses in front of them?

"Um...Miss, I just heard from 'Mr. Greedy' that there seem to be other humans here besides me? I don't know if they are now--"

John thought for a while, and finally chose to start with what he cared about most at the moment and try to open up the topic.

"Oh, are you talking about Miss Granger and the others?" the zombie girl, one of the twins opposite, calmly replied, "They just went out for business a few days ago. If Mr. Stewart wants to see them, I'm afraid he will have to wait.

It’s been a while.”

Although the attitude and wording of the answer were very polite, John could hear a kind of rejection in the other party's words. This zombie lady who seemed to be "easy to talk to" was obviously not willing to tell the story about the young British people.

Tell yourself about the situation of "Yingjie"!

"Really...? What a pity!" John thought and grinned.
