Old Ford's thoughts gradually flew back to the tragedy that happened in Rose Manor twelve years ago.
At seven o'clock in the evening on October 32, 1994, with the cry of a baby, there were bursts of joyful blessings from the Rose Manor. A new life was born in the Hebrew family, according to the name that Joe had thought of before.
, this newborn baby officially joined the Hebrew clan with the name 'Arthur'.
Albert gently poked the baby's belly with his index finger wearing a white silk glove. Amid Elena's complaints, he was teasing the cute-looking child alone in the housekeeper's arms.
His wife Jane, who couldn't help but be happy, came over from the big goose down bed and asked this great mother to see her child with her own eyes. "Walta, you go to the nursery and close the window, and then check the temperature of the crib." Joe.
With a smile on his face, he asked the fifty-two-year-old Valta Loltav, the manager of the Rose Manor, to go and take care of Arthur's new house first, and then waved to Jane's personal maid to bring another warm and soft dress.
Let Jane change into her nightgown in the bathroom that comes with her room.
Seeing Jane getting better after a little freshening, Qiao began to enjoy the joy of the birth of her child even more. After sending away the parents who were arguing in front of little Arthur, Qiao asked the maid to support Jane, picked up the child himself, and walked towards
The baby's room has already been decorated.
When several people passed by a row of windows in the corridor, Qiao proudly pointed with his chin to a handmade swing in the center of his garden outside the window, "You don't see Arthur, that is a toy that dad made for you. From now on, you have to be responsible for accompanying mom."
Let's play together, you know, mom is not in good health, you have to take good care of her." Joe shook Arthur in his arms toward the window, pretending to throw him out of the window. But Joe didn't notice, and he made
There is a strange and strange sense of disharmony in the dark shadow next to the swing.
"Qiao, don't scare Arthur," Jane's body was still relatively weak. One sentence made Qiao turn around, "No, look at how happy this kid is..." Qiao lifted the crying Arthur up and said
Rotated twice.
At this time, the swing outside the window began to sway on its own, and the sound of thin footsteps on the garden grass approached the main entrance in a few large steps.
A man in a black robe stretched out a twisting tentacle from under the black robe. The five claws at the tip of the tentacle spread out and attached themselves to the door of Rose Manor. The tentacle secreted a smoking acid.
The door was corroded. This man with tentacles, no, it should be said to be an orc, a synthetic beast, the same Gesas who killed Joe and Jane in Green Village. Apart from the light of the old-fashioned kerosene lamp, there was no other color.
In the Rose Manor, Gesas took off his black robe, revealing a gurgling and terrifying beastly face:
"This is right here, the legendary Hebrew clan."
Originally, there seemed to be no one here except Gesas. As Gesas's voice fell, four other men in black robes gathered from all over the garden. They pushed past Gesas who was standing at the door. From there, there was a man of equal height.
Step into the Rose Manor through a door panel with acid dripping from the entrance.
Gesas's face changed without any trace, he looked at the four people in front of him gloomily, and then walked into the house.
The leader was not very tall, only as high as Gesas's waist. He looked at the decoration of the Rose Manor hall and nodded in praise. At this moment, most of the servants were on the second floor of Rose Manor, which is the new residence.
While busy with the birth of life, five people carelessly barged into the hall.
"I'll give you ten minutes. After ten minutes, I will set a fire here, and then we will evacuate." The short black-robed man at the head pointed to the bearskin rug on the ground, and sat down in the hall prepared for guests' visits.
Sitting on the guest chair, I looked at the mechanical clock in the hall and marked the time, 8:24 pm.
The four men in black robes, including Gesas, praised the gods in their own languages and spread out in different directions to find all the Hebrew families in the Rose Manor.
From time to time, screams came from the manor, and the smell of blood gradually spread. The short black-robed man held his chin impatiently and looked at the time from time to time. A maid covered in blood screamed from the stairs on the second floor.
He ran towards the door. The short man in black robe only stretched out two fingers and muttered something in his mouth. Then he raised his index finger and middle finger, and a thorn was stabbed out of the maid's mouth and hung in the air.
, body torn.
"Four minutes left."
Joe heard the screams in the baby room, and the sound of room doors being violently opened. Varta Loltav tightened the top of his housekeeper's uniform, "Mr. Joe, you go with Mrs. Jane first."
Stay here, I'll go see what's going on." After saying that, Varta Loltav bowed slightly, turned around and closed the door of the baby room.
Jane was sitting on the big bed in the nursery with Arthur in her arms, anxiously comforting Arthur who was crying constantly, "Qiao, what happened?"
"I don't know either, dear." Joe worriedly listened to the screams outside the door getting closer and closer, mixed with some curses and fighting sounds.
Within two minutes, the door of the baby room was smashed open by a black shadow. Jane saw clearly that the object hit the window glass, and Jane let out a horrifying scream. It was the body of Varta Loltav. At this moment, his body was only
Half of it remained, starting to rot from the stomach, leaving only some skin, flesh, blood and tendons connecting the upper and lower bodies.
"Is this Mr. Hebrew?"
The person who walked into the baby room with the body of Varta Loltav was none other than the synthetic beast with tentacles in one hand, Gesas. He exaggeratedly changed his expression to a tender one, looked at Arthur, "Oh~ I
I really like human babies, tearing them apart always stimulates my excitement." Qiao casually picked up the umbrella that placed Arthur's toys on the crib and pointed at Gesas.
"Get out of here, you stupid orc."
"I don't like hearing this anymore. Originally, I planned to give you a peaceful death, but now I'm going to slowly torture you to death." Gesas deliberately looked unhappy.
"Stop making trouble, idiot." A female voice came from behind Gesas. She kicked Gesas away, "He is the current head of the Hebrew family, Joe Hebrew."
When Gesas heard this, he did not show his anger clearly on his face, and deliberately pretended to be stupid to cater to the black-robed woman, "It's him, then we can complete the task quickly, right?"
The woman in black robe did not look back or reply, she just took out a bloody dagger from her sleeve, played with the dagger and walked towards Qiao Jian and his wife.
"Stay away from the window, Joe!"
From the window, someone was anxiously calling to Joe from the second floor window. Joe realized that the voice was from his old friend Captain Ford of the first team of the law enforcement team. This meant that the law enforcement team was already in place? But the North District is generally controlled by arbitration.
Yes, why is Ford here at this time?
Without thinking too much, Joe threw himself on the bed and protected Jane and Arthur in his arms. Outside the window of the baby room, a figure pulled a thick rope and kicked away the body of Walter Lortav.
The collision almost shattered the glass window. The glass shards flew towards the black-robed woman, forcing the black-robed woman to cover her face with her arms to prevent the glass shards from hitting her eyes.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ford, who was still relatively strong, let go of the rope and kicked the woman in black robe on the arm. The strong impact pushed the woman in black robe to the ground.
"You guys jump down quickly with your children. There are people from the arbitration office below. I'll hold them back..." Ford didn't even finish his words. Gesas's tentacles hit Ford hard on the abdomen, and he was about to stop him.
Using the corrosive acid, Ford twisted his body, rushed towards Gesas along the tentacles, waved his right hand and hit Gesas with a swinging punch on the left face.
Before he could make Qiao think more, the woman in black robe who got up from the ground holding a short knife was already less than five steps away from the three of them. Moreover, the woman in black robe gritted her teeth and threw the short knife in her hand, hitting Qiao's head directly.
He held Arthur with all his strength and knocked Joe down from the broken glass window. The dagger flew past Joe's hair.
The moment Qiao Jian fell holding Arthur in her arms and screaming, she was in the lobby looking at the garden of the Rose Manor and was surrounded by three teams from the Arbitration Institute: Eagles, Bears and Dogs. She looked up at the time one last time and uttered:
