Volume 4: Roots of Darkness Chapter 312: Secret

"Cough...cough cough!" After a while, Situ Fengya, who was lying on the bed, suddenly coughed. Pati, who was sitting beside the bed, was startled. She hurried to the bed to check Situ Fengya's situation.

"Si, are you okay?" Pati stood by the bed anxiously, but because she didn't know anything, she couldn't help at all, so she could only watch Situ Fengya cough.

A moment later, a mouthful of bloody thick phlegm was spit onto the ground by Situ Fengya. After spitting out the phlegm, Situ Fengya suddenly felt much more relaxed. He opened his eyes with some difficulty and said in a hoarse voice: "Xue'er, I want to drink water..."

"Water? Water!" Since Situ Fengya spoke Chinese, Pati couldn't understand it at all, but fortunately after a period of study, Pati could still understand some simple Chinese characters. So she quickly took the cup and picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water for Situ Fengya. Before handing it to Situ Fengya, she also tasted the water temperature, "Si, the water is here."

Situ Fengya took the water cup and drank it in one breath. When he completely opened his eyes after drinking the water, he realized that the person around him was not Situ Fengxue, but Pati.

"Hu..." Situ Fengya breathed a sigh of relief and sat up slowly. After a moment, he asked, "Pati, how long have I slept?"

"It's not long before we found you last night, and now..." Patty turned around and looked at the time, and found that the hour hand was just pointing at 12, "Well... it's only twelve o'clock now."

"Well, have I slept for so long..." Situ Fengya rubbed his head. I don't know if it was because he slept for too long or because he accidentally got hurt yesterday, but now he felt a little dizzy.

"Si, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Pati took the water cup and put it on the table beside him, then went to the bedside and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm worried." Situ Fengya smiled slightly, reached out and rubbed Pati's head. Kenrick had been eliminated, and they could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, but it was only for the time being. Kenrick was a cadre of the Dark Source after all, and it was probably not long before the Dark Source others would come to the door.

Thinking of this, Situ Fengya's smile gradually calmed down. Pati saw that Situ Fengya had something to say, so he asked, "What's wrong with Si? Are there any other places you feel uncomfortable?"

"No." Situ Fengya shook his head and said, "No, I'm just... well... a little hungry."

"Hungry?" Pati jumped out of bed. Before Situ Fengya could react, she ran out. While running, she said, "Si, wait for me for a while, and I will be back soon!"

"This child..." Situ Fengya shook his head and leaned against the head of the bed. In just one day, the two closest people around Patti died one after another. The only person she could rely on was Tatanda. If Patti knew, he would leave soon, and I wonder how sad this girl would be.

Thinking of this, Situ Fengya felt extremely immense, and he had to force himself not to think about this for the time being, at least he had to wait for Pati to adjust his mood before talking. But strangely, Situ Fengya always felt that he had forgotten something, and it was a very important thing, so Situ Fengya closed his eyes and began to recall from the time he left yesterday morning. When he recalled the discovery of Old Jack's body, he suddenly remembered that Old Jack seemed to have left them some information after he was killed.

"I*, why did I forget this!" The message left by Old Jack before he was killed was known with his heels. Unfortunately, the moment he saw Old Jack's body, Situ Fengya was furious. Even if he saw it, he might not care too much. "No, I have to take a look!"

After saying that, Situ Fengya turned over and got out of bed. As soon as he rushed out of the ward, he met Pati who delivered food to him. So Situ Fengya had no time to explain and rushed out of the hospital with Pati.

"Si, slow down! Where do you want to pull me?" Pati was pulled away by Situ Fengya before she could react. She was worried that the food she brought with her way too fast would cool down, so she put it in her arms.

Situ Fengya took Pati to the place where Old Jack was killed yesterday as fast as possible. This road was their only way home. Except for them, no one would come here. When Situ Fengya arrived, he found that the blood on the ground was still there, but it was a little blurred.

"Si, what are you bringing me here to do?" Pati saw Situ Fengya squatting on the ground without saying a word, as if she was watching something, "I'm talking to you, look, I brought you food, eat it quickly, if you don't eat it, it will be cold." As he said that, Pati took out the cake she brought to Situ Fengya from her arms.

"Thank you." Situ Fengya took the big cake with a little girly body fragrance and started eating it. He slept for a day and a night and was already hungry. After eating the cake, Situ Fengya called Pati to his side and said, "Pati, this is... the message left by Uncle Jack is a little blurry. Please help me identify it."

"...Okay." Pati was silent for a moment, then squatted beside Situ Fengya, and accompanied him to identify the message left by Old Jack, "This seems to be a few letters, p...a...i...n...pai6666n? What does this mean?"

Pain means pain in Chinese. Is it because Old Jack left this? Did you want to tell them that he suffered a lot of pain before he died? No, although Situ Fengya and Old Jack have not been together for a long time, he firmly believes that Old Jack will never leave such useless messages when he is dying.

"Hey, there is another one here." At this moment, Pati suddenly lay on the ground and then pulled Situ Fengya over, "Si, do you think this is also left by grandpa? But why do I feel... grandpa seems to have not finished writing yet?"

"I haven't finished writing?" Pati's words reminded Situ Fengya that it was not easy for Old Jack to be shot several times. It was not easy for Old Jack to leave these letters. It must have been halfway through his writing, but he died because of excessive bleeding, so he failed to leave a complete message.

Situ Fengya guessed that the message that Old Jack wanted to leave must be related to Patti. After all, she is Old Jack's only relative, so Situ Fengya planned to start from Patti, but no matter how Situ Fengya contacted him, he could not connect these letters to Patti.

While thinking, Situ Fengya saw Pati holding a branch on the ground and wrote all the words she could think of containing pain. At this moment, Situ Fengya's eyes were fixed on the word painting.

If he remembered correctly, Old Jack only had one painting in his home, and that painting was never touched by Old Jack.

"I understand!" Situ Fengya shouted and quickly pulled Pati from the ground, "Pati, you are such a genius!" After saying that, Situ Fengya walked towards Old Jack's house. Although Pati was confused, she did not ask much, but just followed Situ Fengya obediently.

Back at Old Jack's house, Situ Fengya went straight to the only painting in the room. Situ Fengya carefully examined the painting and found nothing wrong. So Situ Fengya planned to take the painting down and take it apart and check it out. However, when Situ Fengya held the frame with both hands and lifted it hard, a mechanical roar came from behind the wall, and then a secret door that was one person high appeared in front of Situ Fengya.

"This is..." Situ Fengya was stunned. He really didn't expect that there was a secret door hidden in Old Jack's home.

"Si..." Seeing this scene, Pati pressed behind Situ Fengya with some anxiety. Her little hand tightly grasped Situ Fengya's clothes. Situ Fengya gently patted Pati's hand, indicating that she should not be afraid.

After the mechanical sound stopped, Situ Fengya approached the secret door and saw a downward staircase behind the door. So Situ Fengya and Pati looked at each other and walked into the secret door carefully.

The stairs were not very long. Even though the two walked very slowly, they finished it in less than two minutes. The basement was very dark. Situ Fengya fumbled on the wall and found the switch of the light. When the light was lit, Situ Fengya saw the whole picture of the basement.

To be honest, Situ Fengya was a little disappointed. There is no secret laboratory here, nor an arsenal that cannot be seen. There is only a table, a diary, a mobile phone, and two pistols without bullets.

Situ Fengya came to the table and opened the diary.

After reading the diary, Situ Fengya couldn't stand it for a long time. The information in the diary was too large, and the big Situ Fengya could not accept it for a while.

As Situ Fengya guessed, Old Jack is not an ordinary person. His real name is Ludo Ken, and he is the most notorious killer in the United States. However, he disappeared more than ten years ago. Some people said that he offended too many people, so he hid, and some people said that he was dead. However, after so long, Ludo had already faded out of people's sight, so people no longer cared about Ludo's whereabouts.

In this diary, Situ Fengya learned the truth of the matter. Patty was not Luke's biological granddaughter. Seventeen years ago, Luke received a task from a mysterious man, who asked him to kill a woman and a child. As a professional killer, Luke would not be ruthless just because his target was a woman, but when he saw the baby still in his infancy, he could not do anything.

At that time, Luke had already started a family and started a career. If the reward for this mission was not too generous, he actually did not intend to take action. Luke thought that this mission would be as easy as usual, but as a father, he could not take action when he saw the baby in his cradle.

Luke's mission failed. The mysterious man who delivered his mission knew that Luke not only failed to kill the target, but took the target away, he immediately hired other killers to chase Luke. While escaping the pursuit, Luke was separated from his wife and daughter, and he was seriously injured. After several twists and turns, he escaped here.
