"The enemy is in the dark, and I am even darker."
Only in this way can we create cover and dismantle layer by layer, and we can get closer to the truth step by step; Otherwise, before more clues are investigated, you may have to die directly.Horden has no plans to dedicate his life to the great cause of "truth" for the time being: there are still so many delicacies to be discovered in the original world and the current world, how can he easily give up on himself?
After carefully using psionic energy to erase the two names, Hoden's attention did not relax, and then he continued to use psionic energy to polish carefully, eliminating as much trace of his "workmanship" as possible, ensuring that the parchment scroll looked the original and avoiding Isa's suspicion.Of course, Issa's suspicions were predictable; But at least Holden can reduce the evidence and get Issa to get the hang of it.Fortunately, Nightingale's parchment scroll is the result of the past few days, and it does not need to be worn, and it can simulate the effect of "using fire to complete the correction when there is an error in the recording process", which is more reasonable and does not lead to speculation.This was also the first time Hodden had tried such a modification, and it was inevitable that he would be a little handy, and he was busy for more than half an hour, and then he finished his work contentedly, and after looking at it again and again, and after making sure that he had reached the limit of his current ability, he put the parchment roll back together."
Gollum.Grunt. ”Hungry.After a busy morning, Hoden only felt that breakfast was completely exhausted, and his tongue and taste buds could no longer remember what he had eaten today, and his stomach was constantly protesting, and then he opened the drawer to find snacks, and began to fill his hunger.I first ate three Stiraka, and then nibbled on two chocolate bars, I always felt a little thirsty in my throat, washed a Filipino fruit and gnawed it clean, then made a cup of fragrant tea, took a small bowl of "smiling face" and began to gnaw, and the stomach felt a little warmth, which calmed down.Returning to his desk, Hodden carefully copied the entire parchment scroll: he wasn't sure if he had missed any details, so it was necessary to transcribe all the contents before returning the evidence.On the one hand, you can show Robben later, and after changing different angles, you may be able to find different clues; On the other hand, it is to prepare for the future, maybe after a calm rest, and then re-read, you can catch new clues.After waiting for all the transcriptions to be completed, a small bowl of "smiling faces" had bottomed out, but Hoden's movements did not stop.Later, Hodden opened a new piece of paper again, and carefully traced a pattern, thinking while depicting, and from time to time he stopped to think about it seriously, and then put down the pen again, and occasionally modified and smeared some parts, re-painted, and when all the drawings were completed, the pattern had become a mess, and the ink stains were so muddy that it was difficult to distinguish many details.So, Holden redrew another pattern underneath.This time it is much faster and more concise, the pen is very clear and accurate, confidently outlining every detail, and with a faint fire element on the fingertips, imitating the newsboy ironing pencil ink, the ink imprint is quickly dried, to ensure that every detail of the pen can be clearly presented.In the end, a clear and complete pattern is presented.The outer ring is in the shape of a round gear, and the outer edge can be seen with thin convex serrations, which were originally thought to be somewhat similar to the gears of a clock, but after careful adjustment, the serrations are not so sharp, they should be blunt convex serrations, and Holden depicts every detail.The central ring is an overlap of several polygons, hexagons, pentagons and quadrilaterals, each of which switches at different angles, and then overlaps one on top of the other, creating multiple layers on top of each other, and the connection of arched arcs can be seen between shapes.Seemingly complicated but not chaotic, after neatly arranging and overlapping each other, each angle and each change follows a certain mathematical law - but now Horden has not been able to figure out the pattern, and finally several polygons overlap together to form a dazzling linear structure, embedded in a circular gear, and then form a second ring in the middle.The inner ring is two circles, one large and one small, nested together, and the gap between the circles is inlaid with a series of incomprehensible pattern arcs.The small circle is overlapped with more gears, different models of different sizes and different shapes of gears are inlaid with each other, after careful observation, you can find that in fact, all are round, but the staggering of lines and lines can perfectly piece together triangles, arcs and other shapes, and the pattern is also rich.The intricate patterns overlap one on top of the other, one on the other, layer upon layer, and eventually evolve into an ornate and intricate finished product.Hodden picked up the paper, pulled it away, then pulled it closer, looked at it carefully, but the doubt and hesitation in his eyes did not dissipate—he couldn't be sure.This is an icon that Hodden stumbled upon on the Nightingale bookshelf, and one of the black notebooks has such a black icon printed on the side; But most of the inside pages of the notebook were torn off, and the rest were all blank pages, so there was nothing extra.Originally, Horden didn't care too much.All the nobles of the Leia Empire had their own coats of arms, and the four major colleges of the Secepes Academy had their own coats of arms, so the nouveau riche and the new class liked to order their badges and pretend to be among the upper class.Later, the badge also became popular among the common people, and many businesses launched related businesses, such as student groups, book clubs, and other small groups with a vassal style, would design a badge as their own symbol.It's just that the noble badges have historical origins, and every detail can be traced back to a deep cultural heritage; But the insignia of civilians is just beautiful, and the more complex and elaborate it is, the more popular it is, and it has no meaning in itself.Therefore, there is nothing special about the badge icon that appears on Nightingale's notebook, it may be the club of Nightingale's former school or the badge of the place where she now works.Hodden didn't associate himself with Mr.
Harford's banquet, for no similar badge had been found in the tailor's shop or the inspection center so far, and he hadn't gathered all the potential clues in a hurry.But then, Holden found a tiny tattoo behind Nightingale's left ear, hidden beneath a thick strand of hair that could have been missed if he wasn't careful.That's when Holden was alarmed: that tattoo was a cog.()
