Chapter 255: Pure Land (Seventeen)
As expected, after the blocked face was purified, Mr. Knight quickly returned to normal.
Even the traces of frost on his body were instantly dispelled, and his face became extremely rosy.
"It's finally warm..."
With a look of relief on his face, Knight sighed in a hoarse voice and looked up at Fu Qian.
"Thank you for sending me back yesterday. Sure enough, the older I get, the more I can't live without the wine cabinet."
"I've been a little cold since I came back yesterday, but after drinking this bottle of wine, I feel much better."
"You're welcome, as long as you're fine."
Fu Qian listened to Knight's thanks with a smile and shook his head in his heart.
Sure enough, we are already in a new script.
Although his speech seemed normal, it was obvious that Knight was in that special state at the moment, as evidenced by the strong feeling of emptiness in his body.
In the new script, in order to avoid conflicts in the previous memories, he automatically understood that he left the banquet early yesterday, and then sent him back himself.
"I'm fine now. Under the witness of the stars, I feel my true self again."
There was a strange smile on Knight's lips, and his voice was leisurely and calm.
"Please go back and tell Dean Collins that I am fine and I will be able to taste his wine again soon."
"OK."
I responded before paying, and then seemed to suddenly remember something.
"I almost forgot. Dean Collins also asked me to remind you that a dangerous man named Hrom has recently infiltrated Bayerluk. Please be careful."
…
In a few seconds of silence, a look of disgust could be seen on Knight's face.
"He~ro~m~"
Fu Qian took a step forward with a smile and emphasized the name of the fallen demigod.
"Herome, I think I've heard that name before."
After a long time, Old Knight took a deep breath and his expression returned to calm.
"Just a few days ago, a stranger with this name came to visit me and said he knew where the murderer of Sean was."
Knight's eyes were sad, but there was a smile on his lips.
He stood up, opened the drawer next to him, and took out a brown box.
Placing the mechanical box on the table, Knight turned the rotating bar, and a pleasant melody sounded.
"I gave this to Sean on his 10th birthday. He has always liked it and always keeps it with him."
"The last time I left home was no exception..."
"However, after that, I never heard from him again until the night watchman found me and told me the news of his murder."
"My poor child just disappeared, and even the body couldn't be found... They couldn't even confirm who the murderer was..."
Nate's eyes were blurred as he was lost in memories, and he was humming music box tunes in his nose.
"Until that day, this man named Hrom showed up at my house and told me that he knew Sean.
"And he said that if I was willing to share the secret of braindance with him, he would tell me where the murderer was."
Braindance?
Hearing this word, Fu Qian was slightly startled, and then he realized that this should be what Knight and his friends called the "see me" state.
I have to say it's quite appropriate.
Assuming what Knight said is true, the murderer of his son is most likely Hrom.
This guy is really mean. After killing someone, he went to his father to yell at him.
I had wondered before what a dignified demigod was doing here at Bayerluk.
Now it seems he is clearly interested in braindance.
In fact, this is very likely the reason why Sean was killed.
"Then what?"
He thought about it before paying and asked.
"Then...hum!"
Knight sneered.
"You don't have to worry about the danger he will cause."
"I shot him directly and avenged Sean."
Your mind jumps a little too fast!
"The first time I saw him, I knew he was Sean's murderer."
"No matter what, Sean will never tell others the secret between me and Braindance."
Knight looked cold.
"In fact, I was forced to tell him."
"Sean is a very perceptive child. He once noticed abnormalities and accused me of often being in a state of delusion and losing myself."
"However, you can never understand it unless you are actually in it. Only when you are in the brain dance can you truly be yourself!"
"In that state, no complicated thoughts can interfere with you. All thinking and actions are natural and follow your heart's desires without any hesitation or confusion."
Knight said with a fascinated expression.
"Unfortunately, we failed to convince him in the end, and we fell out because of this. In fact, this was also the reason why he left for the last time."
"Even so, I know my son very well. No matter how dissatisfied I am, Sean will never betray me... He must have suffered a lot..."
"And that bastard even showed me Sean's music box in order to win my trust."
"I understand what he means very well. When I see the music box, even if I suspect that he has an unknown origin, I will not do anything to him easily.
"After all, he is the only clue to find the murderer. It's a pity..."
Knight snorted twice and twisted the twist bar again.
"While I was pretending to do this, I shot him to pieces."
I see.
There was a feeling of emotion before paying.
This Hrom died unjustly.
Fu Qian didn't think that as a demigod, he wouldn't be able to detect the old man's little moves. Hrom was obviously overconfident.
When Knight secretly fired the cold shot, he most likely wanted to test the magical effect of the brain dance state just like himself.
The only difference is that he uses his hands, while he uses his vital parts.
This is the difference!
Stand forward and look up at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees, looking proudly.
In the braindance state, Mr. Knight's behavioral logic is far from rigorous, but it can still be considered correct.
If not, it would be almost impossible for him to avenge his son.
This is the real impact of dimensionality reduction. The seemingly crude script killed a demigod in seconds.
Before paying, I was filled with admiration.
Of course, this is only a possible truth, because this person is also in a braindance state now.
There is a very small possibility that Knight is not telling the truth.
"So that's it. The execution of such a villain is definitely good news. I will tell Dean Collins."
Looking at the silent Knight, he stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you again for visiting."
"Although Sean's bones are still not found, after my body recovered a little, I can finally hold a funeral for Sean."
A smile appeared on Knight's face, which was both ethereal and weird.
Snap!
The next moment, a long-barreled revolver fell heavily from behind him to the ground.
The hammer has been pressed down, and a severed hand is still firmly grasped on it.
