Chapter 45: Will Be Fixed Soon!
"Kekeke, I’m just a nobody," I blurted out, following my intrusive thought.
I initially wanted to try to lighten the mood by starting off a friendly laugh, but what I didn’t expect was that what came out of my mouth sounded more like a creepy giggle than anything else.
’Fuck, what did I just say?’
’If the rumor was spread by the Sadis Gang to keep people off Nolan Street... then what’s so important about the original Aiden’s house that they’d go to such lengths to gatekeep it?’
Was Aiden hiding gold or something?
Or maybe there’s been a hidden basement inside the house all along, one that holds a buried secret of humanity?!
It had only been a few hours since I inherited the original Aiden’s memories, and there was still a flood of information to process. Trying to pinpoint any specific memory that might offer a clue was like finding a needle in a haystack.
"Wait, why was I trying so hard to guess? I’m about to meet them anyway. I can just get the answer straight from their mouths."
As I walked closer to my destination, Richie’s words suddenly echoed in my mind. Instinctively, my gaze shot upwards, scanning the ceilings and roofs above.
"Nothing, huh? Well, Richie said his drink buddy saw an owl. It’s noon now, perfect napping time for an owl. I guess even a beast tamer can’t push their pets to go against their nature."
Gang entirely.
With that thought, I reached into the worn cloth bag where I kept all the items Althea had given me and pulled out a fiery red pill.
