HBWnovel Chapter 19
Chapter 19
Atal sat in the middle of the sofa, with Roy and Jason sitting on either side of him.Connor was sitting across from them, and Oliver wasn't there, so none of them wanted to ask what he was up to.
Anyway, before Oliver killed himself in an alley, they just remembered to fish him out.
After discovering that Tony Stark was among the people participating in the auction, Roy immediately realized that this was not a problem they could solve, because the other party meant trouble and variables.
So half an hour ago, they called Connor.
As for why it wasn't Oliver... Forget it, he will have a fight with Bruce and Tony at the auction.
Connor readily agreed to come down, skipping the meeting and rushing back directly.
Just kidding, is it important for the company to have family members?
"What do you want?" Connor asked, looking at Attar, "I just got our admission ticket."
Connor inherited the Quinn Enterprise and has the absolute right to speak in Star City.So he didn't use any means at all, he just said hello to the auction, and the other party immediately added his name to it.
But even so, he still came back, so as not to clarify some things on the phone.
Atal felt sorry for them going around and troubling Connor. After all, based on what they said before, it can be seen that Connor seems to be very busy, and he has to attend classes and manage the company.
"...Actually, I don't know too well." Atal said a little guilty.
Before he could investigate, he was blocked by Roy and Jason, and he surrendered so quickly that he felt ashamed.
"Then go investigate first, I will accompany you to the auction," Connor said, looking for paper documents in his hand, and tapped on his knee with the other hand, "To When the time comes, I'll let you get it."
"Tony Stark will be there. Lex and Bruce," Roy reminded.
"I know, I'll be ready."
Connor looked at Atal again: "Must get it?"
Atal nodded.
"Get it even if you grab it?"
Atal nodded more vigorously.
"Okay," Connor said, "then we'll have it."
Jason on the side was a little speechless about this conversation, which fully showed the doting feeling of Atar's two brothers, as if encouraging Atar to be more willful and wanton.
After finishing speaking, Connor stood up, picked up the suit jacket from the sofa, put it on, and then walked towards the stairs: "I still have some documents to read at home, let me know when you find them."
Jason was still staring at Atar, he didn't say a word, but he was thinking about something in his heart.
The person who suddenly broke into his field of vision seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of fog. Although Atal acted frankly, as if he didn't hide anything, he knew that there must be something special about him that even he himself hadn't discovered.
Because the easiest way to fool a suspicious person is to fool yourself.
He is indeed curious about Atal... According to the books Jason has read, curiosity is a necessary factor for the beginning of a story, so does he appear here?
— as a participant in a story.
It feels subtle, as if I have become an important supporting character in Attar's own story, peering into someone's life through the eyes of details.
Jason smiled slightly, and the joy of some witnesses rose in his heart.
Atal turned his head and asked, "Jason, are you still angry?"
"No." Jason denied, "at least not now."
Atar grabbed his hand on his knee and shook it lightly, blinking: "Okay. Tell me if you have anything to say."
He didn't forget Jason's sudden anger before, he guessed that what this little bird hates most is concealment and embankment.
Jason shrank his hands on his knees, not realizing that Atar would actually do it directly.
Connor paused on the stairs, turned his head, and gave Jason a gloomy look, as if Jason would kill him on the spot if he said one more word to his brother.
Jason raised his eyes and met Connor's eyes, and the latter's eyes hinted at warning, as if to say——
I know all your background and put you next to Atal because he trusted you.
But if you cross the line and dare to hurt him, I will do it without hesitation.
Indeed, Jason had helped them.But Connor definitely knows when to be impulsive.
Jason knew Connor could do it.
As far as he knew, there was also a girl from the Arrow family in the Teen Titans team, and he had seen it once.
One time, because of a mission, she was pushed to the most dangerous checkpoint by Tim, the leader of the team, so she suffered very serious burns.
Logically speaking, this kind of decision-making is commonplace for Chaoying. In this line of work, you have to face injuries at any time, but the key point is that she has AIDS and her body immunity is low.
Burns are one of the most likely injuries to become infected.
Connor took her back without saying a word, and at the same time caused "a little trouble" for Tim. Jason, who knew about this, had a new understanding of Connor's protection.
Because Tim really...
Jason met Connor's gaze without changing his expression.
It wasn't until Atal let go of Jason's hand that Connor looked away, and the figure disappeared at the stairs.
Now there are only three of them left in the living room.
Roy took off his baseball cap, his red hair was messy, sweat was beaded on the tip of his nose, his eyes were clear like emerald green glass beads, and he looked quite cute.
Atal took out a few pieces of paper from the table and handed them to Roy, motioning him to wipe off his sweat.
Roy looked at him inexplicably, sweat still rolling down.
Atal simply started by himself, wiped the sweat from the tip of Roy's nose and forehead with a tissue, and confirmed that the person in front of him was refreshed again, before throwing the tissue into the trash can.
"Oh..." Roy's eyes flashed, his tone paused, and he continued, "By the way, the point is the prosecutor who suddenly drowned, right?"
Atal nodded.
Roy pulled out a laptop from behind the sofa back and started tapping away.
"I can't find out what he bought." He frowned, and Atar stuffed a soft backrest behind him, "But most of the antiques in his house have been cleared for the auction, and they should auction them. An antique acquired before."
"It would be nice if the scope could be narrowed down a bit."
Roy was trying to break through the firewall here, while Atar took out the diary and spread it on his knees, trying to find out some overlooked details.
Since he made a notebook in the past, it means that this is absolutely impossible to be an independent event, and it is very likely that they are connected together to form a colossus looming in the mist.
Jason glanced at his journal and took it from his lap.
Atal reached out his hand perfunctorily to stop it. He knew it was futile. Jason raised his hand, taking advantage of his height to deliberately prevent him from reaching it, then turned sideways and started flipping through the diary.
He leaned over and saw Jason looking at the picture in the middle.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in the diaries of adolescent boys." Jason glanced at him.
The first picture is a school badge.
Jason lifted the paper up and read: "Miskatonic."
Then, he frowned: "Is this a university? I seem to have heard of it."
Roy, who was using the computer at the side, interjected: "Huh? This school... I have heard of it too. Little Sun, don't you want to apply for this university? I heard you said it two years ago, and it seems that the facilities are very good Bar."
Atal went over the name of the university in his mind, and felt as if he had heard it somewhere.
The system almost never took part in his conversations while he was doing tasks, but this time, its voice rang in Atal's head: "This is also a choice."
Oh... Atal remembered.When staring at the discolored eyes in front of the mirror before, the system mentioned that he was a preparatory student for this university, and that he could choose to go or not.
Is this an ordinary person's choice?
After all, going to college sounds like a quiet life.
Jason pouted: "It should be a prestigious school."
After speaking, he turned the page indifferently.
Atar took out his mobile phone and checked the university. There was a Google entry, and he found that Miskatonic University was indeed a top university in the world. He was a little relieved.
Jason soon saw the Star City prosecutor's suicide case there.He paused, and turned a few pages forward. Without exception, they were all kinds of suicide reports cut from newspapers.
Drowning in the bathroom.
Shoot himself.
Suicide by jumping off the building.
Hang yourself.
……
Looking at it alone, these cases don't seem to have any special connection. If you have to say it, the way of suicide is unusual, coupled with the insane mental state, it's more like cruel self-torture.
The person who drowned in the bathroom filled the bathtub with water, then let the water flow stop at the tip of his nose, and then sat motionless in the bathtub and died of suffocation.The body has the instinct to survive, but the deceased did not show any signs of struggle.
The person who shot himself had scraped off all the skin from his body with a knife before drinking the bullet.The deceased who jumped from the building was confirmed dead before falling from the building, and the guts that were gutted and gutted were drenched all over the passers-by when they fell down the floor.
Finally, he hanged himself. When the corpse was taken down, it kept a strange smile on its face.
……
"..." Jason felt that his eyes were polluted, "There are quite a lot of neuropathy in Star City."
"It's kind of like being mind-controlled, but it's not a mutant," Attar said. "It may be that something they bought has an unknown effect on them."
Jason took out a tissue, took out a pen, copied the name, and threw it to Roy: "Cross."
Roy took it, his hands kept moving, his eyes fixed on the computer screen.
Not long after, he stopped typing on the keyboard, and a subtle expression appeared on his face.
"...I seem to know what they bought."
"Uh... a small stone sculpture that I can't describe in words, no... I don't know what material it is made of, it looks a bit like something used for sacrifices, with tentacled heads, degenerated wings and..."
The author has something to say: Atar: The value of san dropped to g
