"Smack!"
Holden's right hand was spread out into a palm, and in the posture of a hand knife, it slammed into Nightingale's neck and shoulder.The palm of his hand also contained the power of the wind element and the earth element, faster and heavier, and the knife fell to the ground, Nightingale fell in response, and fainted.Robben looked at Howlen for some reason.Hoden stood up, sensing Robben's gaze, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you really going to kill here?"
I can't do it anyway, why don't you give it a try?
”Homicide?
Holden felt like he couldn't do it, sincerely.Robben couldn't help choking either, "......
But are you sure it doesn't matter?
I still think that his mouth is full of lies, and what he just said is not worth believing. ”Hoden shook his head, his expression returned to his usual laziness and casualness again, and even his voice became lazy again, "No, on the contrary, I think most of what he said was the truth."
He wouldn't know what was going on at the banquet, otherwise we wouldn't have found him so easily; He definitely didn't speak so easily. ”Nightingale is a smart man, with some small cleverness and little calculations, maybe not great wisdom, but he can survive in troubled times; But it is precisely because of this that I am particularly afraid of death.Hodden believed that most of Nightingale's words should be true, and the most direct proof of this was that from beginning to end, Holden's sense of smell detected no signs of Nightingale using psionic energy to get rid of it.From the point of view of survival instinct, this is a very abnormal situation.Either that, Nightingale saw through Holden's trap from the start, and was even more advanced than Holden and Robben combined, and played them around with ease.Either that, or Nightingale was really afraid of death, and when she opened her eyes and realized the situation, her survival instinct overwhelmingly controlled the whole situation.The latter is more likely.This is also the reason why Hodden threatened Nightingale with words at the last moment, he believed that Nightingale's cleverness could understand the deep meaning of the words, and the math problem was not difficult; He also believes that Nightingale will make the right choice instead of recklessly looking for the mastermind behind the self-destruction.Of course, Nightingale can't tell the truth all the time, it should be an "8:2" or "9:1" ratio, and the most crucial part is a lie.Holden didn't point it out on the spot, because he still has too little information now, and if he makes remarks casually, it is easy to show his feet, and he will be recognized by Nightingale, and there will be endless troubles, and he may really need to be silenced at that time; Therefore, Holden just secretly combed through all the information, and then slowly collected clues to find the truth.The most important thing you need is patience and care."
Let's go, we can't stay here for long."
Hodden beckoned to Robben and walked briskly towards Ray Peters and Brutus at the mouth of the alley.But Hoden didn't leave immediately.Walking out of the alley, and as soon as he turned around, Holden stopped at the bend in the alley.Robben and Ray Peters had already walked a few steps before finding Brutus behind and turning around, only to realize that Holden had fallen behind.The group circled back in a daze, exchanging glances one by one for some unknown reason, and it was Brutus who first understood Holden's intentions - Nightingale.Hodden was observing Nightingale at the mouth of the alley.If Nightingale really pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, then this is the moment to appear.Today had all happened so suddenly, the whole plan was full of holes, and mistakes were inevitable, but it was not too late to make amends, and Hoden was trying to make up for it as best he could.Holden and his party quietly scattered in different areas near the mouth of the alley, watching Nightingale from far or near.After waiting for about twenty minutes, Nightingale slowly woke up, realized that there was no one else nearby, and began to struggle hard.With a slight mobilization of spiritual energy, the thunder elemental handcuffs tied to his wrist were shattered, which made Nightingale directly stunned in place.After thinking about it, I realized that I had been deceived.At first reaction, Nightingale stood up and rushed forward a few steps, but then stopped, and her angry expression stabilized uncertainly, and she stood in place, lowered her head, and began to think carefully.Nearly three minutes passed, and Nightingale seemed to finally make a difficult decision, patting her head in frustration, but then calmed down, slapped the dust off her body, walked quickly out of the alley, quietly looked left and right, and after repeatedly making sure that she was not being followed, the figure disappeared into the crowd.Ray Peters and Brutus stood in the light because they had not been seen before; Hodden and Robben are hidden in a shop across the street.Seeing Nightingale walk into the crowd, Hordon and Robben stepped out of their hiding places and quickly caught up with Rypeters, who was following Nightingale one after the other.Hodden stops Brutus, then calls back Ray Peters, suppresses his emotions with his eyes, and shakes his head to say "there's no need to keep tracking".His pace slowed slightly, and then he watched Nightingale's figure disappear into the crowd, and Ophels became noisy again as the night fell, as if nothing had happened.Thunder Peters asked with a frown, "Are you sure?"
Perhaps additional clues can be uncovered as well. ”Thunder Peters' anxiety and eagerness fell on Howlen's eyes, but he couldn't help but sketch a smile, "So, you still overheard the conversation?"
”"......"
Thunder Peters' expression froze, and he awkwardly shifted his gaze, pretending not to hear Hoden's words.Brutus sighed inwardly and took the initiative to explain in place of Thunder Peters, "A small part. ”Thunder Peters also stiffened his neck and argued, "You are talking so loudly that it is difficult not to hear you. ”But after finishing speaking, he continued to look at the sky with a little weakness.Rather than continue on the topic, Hoden recoiled and explained, "There's no need to track.He is a cautious and intelligent man, like a mouse, who knows the best route to survive at this moment.So, even if we follow it, we can't get any clues. ”"But what about later?
What if you want to find him again?
”Ray Peters still couldn't hold back, and interjected again.Brutus replied in place of Howlen, "We've seen the store this guy came out of, I guess......
Where should he work part-time?
”Hoden nodded in affirmation, "Most likely, it should be." ”All the details show that Nightingale was indeed a money-hungry personality who cherished his life immensely, and this was a good thing for Hoden.Then, today's sudden action full of loopholes can minimize the damage.()
