Chapter 285: Self-contradiction


From the dual level of spirit to matter, Hordon is still in a state of detachment, and even his five senses have become weaker, but the speed of the brain is increasing, and the inextricable clues are all connected in series, and the keen sense of intuition seems to have reached a new level of clarity.He felt as if he had seen Nightingale on his deathbed.Previously, Hodden was curious about what Nightingale saw, and then he began to kill himself - maybe it was a spiritual imagination, or it could be a physical bizarre; And what role did that professional killer play?

What had just happened gave Hoden a revelation, "Insanity.Nightingale should have been triggered by all her fearful memories, and then she couldn't distinguish the difference between reality and illusion, dream and reality, and scared herself to death. ”Because Hodden saw it too—but instead of fearful memories, he saw inner longings.Those fragments of pictures that belong to the earth, movies, streets, youth......

And the nightmares, all of which are memories that Hodden himself most longs to touch, which point to the way home.Those images between the real and the false completely confuse the judgment, and even Holden cannot determine the real and the false.That kind of urgent emotion makes the heart curl up, and the whole soul seems to be emptied in an instant, and the emotional frenzy of falling into the abyss in an instant can easily destroy all defenses - Nightingale's desire to survive is very strong, but his mental will is not strong enough, and it can be completely destroyed in an instant.This is where it goes to the extreme.Of course, except for Nightingale, I'm afraid no one can know what Nightingale saw, and these ideas are only based on Holden's speculation, and may never be supported by evidence; The only thing Hodden knows for sure is that the bizarre images certainly don't come from anyone else, but from his own memories."

What does Nightingale have to do with our ash divination?"

Ray Peters couldn't understand why Nightingale was in this conversation.But Brutus had already understood, "This means that we may have been involved in an incident about evil gods." ”Brutus was also a little unsure, because the connection was still too weak and far-fetched, and he watched Holden's expression and told his speculation.Then, Holden gave a positive response with a gentle bow.Ray Peters chewed on it, trying to find the connection, but he didn't succeed - obviously, he didn't see the same perspective as Hodden and Brutus, but it wasn't the best time to go deeper," ......

So, what should we do next?

”Assuming that Nightingale's death was really related to the evil god, then was the professional killer who used the relevant means?

Or is Mr.

Harford's banquet related to evil gods?

These are two different possibilities, which may have the same goal, but they may also be completely different, and the direction of their investigation will inevitably be affected.Hodden shook his head slightly."

I don't know, or don't talk about it?"

Ray Peters didn't know why.But then, Ray Peters noticed Hoden's gaze, and he also turned his head to look over, and then he could see the lost Robben, and instantly understood: compared to the reasoning of the case, the most important thing to care about now should be Robben.Samuel is still alive.This should be a good thing, as it proves that Robben's insistence is correct, and Nightingale's "death list" does not represent a definitive death, but a list of missing persons.The last time in the library, both Ray Peters and Brutus subconsciously assumed that all the names on the list were dead, but this was very cruel to Robben, and he could only continue to believe in solitude, praying for a hopeless possibility; And now it turns out that Robben's persistence is not meaningless: he still has a chance to get Samuel back.But the question is, if Samuel didn't die, if Samuel wasn't imprisoned, then why hasn't Samuel returned?

Taking a step back, why didn't Samuel have any news?

Referring to Holden, you can know that after escaping death, he has not been discovered until now, and is even secretly investigating the ins and outs; If Samuel also managed to escape, what would stop him from coming back?

Not even a single message was transmitted?

Seeing the evidence that Samuel was still alive, Robben thought he would be ecstatic, but after a short period of joy, he felt a mouth full of bitterness and confusion, and that incomprehensible despair instantly crushed all Robben's insistence, which ......

Can it be considered a betrayal?

So, what really happened to Samuel?

What's more, Samuel is still alive, so what about Mr.

Harford's banquet?

Previously, all of Hoden's speculations were based on the existence of this banquet, and based on his own experience, Hoden also assumed that all the missing people were dead, and now Samuel's survival has become an exception, breaking Hoden's speculation, and there is obviously an inconsistency of contradictions, completely changing the whole situation.Does this mean that all of Holden's assumptions so far will be overturned?

Even, all his investigations have gone in the wrong direction?

On the negative side, it is undoubtedly frustrating that Holden has to think about the whole picture from the beginning, and then review all the clues to deduce more possibilities.But on the positive side, things have always been shrouded in fog anyway, and now an important clue has been added, which also means that Hoden can adjust the direction of the investigation in time to get as close to the correct answer as possible.What's more, Samuel is still alive, which is definitely good news.In this regard, Hodden is not worried, the investigation is originally a process of constantly inferring hypotheses, constantly approaching the truth through clues and evidence; Now, the first thing Holden needs to worry about is Robben's form."

Robben, are you okay?"

The first to speak was Holden, and both Ray Peters and Brutus both cast their sights.Robben only came to his senses a little at this time, and raised his head suddenly, "I'm fine." ”After a pause, he added, "I'm fine." ”Then he looked at Holden, "What about you?"

You're looking really bad right now, are you sure you're okay?

”"It's just a loss of strength."

Howlen simply explained, "Obviously, Blu's previous divination did not use the right method, and it is not until today that the fog is cleared. ”Ash divination is more powerful than you think, and now Hoden can finally understand why divination is only recommended once a month."

Please, at least we got the right result last time in Orphes."

Brutus protested with concrete actions.Both Horgan and Ray Peters couldn't help but smile.()
