Chapter 37 Next Door

Ghost Squad?

Jason looked at Edward calmly.

Having played several times, he already knows what to do when others think he knows, but he really doesn't.

remain silent.

It is best to look into the other person's eyes calmly.

If you feel that you can't calm down, you can also move your eyes up and stare at the other person's hairline.

This will give the other party a sense of urgency, and if the other party's hairline moves back, this sense of urgency will be doubled, allowing the other party to say what they want to say more quickly.

Of course, you can also imagine that the other person is bald.

This doesn't double the other person's sense of urgency.

But it will make you feel at ease.

A lion with a mane is mighty and majestic, but what if it is bald?

It is estimated that no lioness would like to pay attention to them.

Fortunately, Edward's hair is still thick, even if the ponytail is tied up, it does not look thin.

The leader of the special operations team faced Jason's gaze and nodded slightly.

"You sure know."

"However, it should be."

"After all, you've all been through that."

Edward said slowly, his tone became inexplicably sad.

After a full two or three seconds of silence, the leader of the special operations team continued:

"The 'Ghost Squad' is formed from elites drawn from various corps and divisions."

"Everyone is capable and armed with the most sophisticated weapons."

"They cooperate closely and carry out various difficult tasks."

"but……"

"In the 'Defense of Decheng', they defected, they killed Decheng's then commander, 'General Will', and then successively assassinated several high-level military officials-to the outside world, these generals were declared to be Die in battle."

"After that, the 'Ghost Squad' really became a ghost."

"They are ghosts and ghosts, including the re-established Decheng and the current Xinde City, which have become their hunting grounds."

"but me?"

Edward smiled slightly self-deprecatingly.

"It's the person in charge of 'Xindecheng' chasing down the 'Ghost Squad', from the 9th Infantry Division."

"I was chosen to be in charge here, not because I was the strongest in the 9th Infantry Division."

"Just because there is news that the leader of the 'Ghost Squad' here is Micah."

"It's the commander of the squad I used to be in."

"I know him best."

Saying that, Edward leaned back slightly.

His upper body was completely supported by the back of the chair, and his eyes seemed a little dazed.

Apparently, the leader of the special operations team began to recall the past.

Not far from the counter, the female pastry chef gestured to Jason with a mint lemonade.

After Jason nodded, the female pastry chef brought them all over.

"thanks."

When the female pastry chef poured the water, Edward finally came to his senses.

The team leader thanked the female pastry chef.

The female pastry chef returned to the oven very self-aware.

She needs to think about doing something different for lunch.

As for what Edward told?

She is not interested.

Even though Edward lowered his voice and seemed mysterious, it was better for her to think about the ratio of milk, eggs, and sugar.

What a ghost squad.

What Micah.

Where the sweet pastry matters.

"Micah used to be someone I admired."

"His ability is excellent, his quality is noble, and his character is tough."

"But when he's the enemy, it's also the toughest one."

"Because, you don't know where he will shoot you."

"So, I initially hoped to use you as 'bait' to lure him out."

"Feel sorry."

Edward apologized again.

Moreover, this time, it was much more solemn.

He first sat up straight, then lowered his head and bowed.

Then, he was grabbed by Jason and rolled to one side——

boom!

The moment the two of them slammed into the store wall, a bullet pierced the glass of the store, passed through exactly where Edward had done before, and finally penetrated the table, the floor, and disappeared into the basement.

"Sniper!"

"Watch out for concealment!"

Outside the store, Little Bansey shouted, and the people around quickly looked for cover, while Little Bansy leaned close to the mailbox and aimed his gun at the shooting direction.

However, he could not find any trace of the other party at all.

There was no one in his sight.

Even if he has locked the sniper point in the first place, it is useless.

Inside the store, Edward stood up.

"thanks."

"You saved my life again."

"Count what I owe you."

After he finished speaking to Jason, he ran out.

According to what he knew about the former commander, he missed a single hit and had already left, but with the thought of just in case, he still wanted to check to see if he could find any clues.

"Captain Edward."

The female pastry chef suddenly spoke.

"rest assured."

"I'll be careful."

Edward, who felt the long-lost concern, turned his head, habitually raised his hand and pushed his glasses, and said with a smile.

"no."

"It's compensation."

The lady pastry chef pointed to broken windows, damaged tables, floors.

Immediately, Edward's hand pushing the glasses froze in midair.

"Write a list."

"We will compensate according to the price."

With the same stiff smile, Edward finished speaking and walked out of the store.

Jason stood up, patted the dust on his body, gestured to the female pastry chef, and followed Edward out.

Jason is not interested in the so-called 'ghost squad'.

But Jason thought of being interested in the [city recognition] that the 'Ghost Squad' can bring.

Glancing at the [city recognition] of 6%, Jason quickened his pace.

Although this is the second day, according to 60 days, it is more than enough to reach 100%.

But Jason doesn't think he can get 6% [city recognition] every day.

Therefore, he will not give up the opportunity to obtain [City Recognition].

Following Edward's back, Jason walked across Pea Point Street, a place close to the next block.

"This is a sniper spot!"

Little Bansy said with certainty.

Edward didn't ask, just waved his hand.

Edward will not question the ability of Little Bansey.

So do others.

After seeing Edward's gesture, these people immediately dispersed, and while blocking the place, they formed a commando team, and they were ready to launch a search for the fifth floor of the apartment in front of them.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Edward also drew his gun, ready to join the commando.

It was Edward's habit to lead the way.

It is precisely because of this that Edward is more and more admired by Bansi and others.

However, this does not mean that Edward is a brainless brat.

He hadn't forgotten Jason.

Jason, who can withstand a hundred people by one person, left an indelible impression on him.

Edward turned to look at Jason.

Only then did Edward realize that Jason's gaze was not looking at the apartment building in front of him, but at... the lower building next door.

"What's wrong?"
