Chapter Fifty-eight: Torment can also pass the time
The partners for cooperation have been selected, and Verak decided to spend the next time transcribing Theory of Equality. On the one hand, he will keep a copy of the original version, and on the other hand, he can deepen his understanding by writing it again.
The completed part of The Theory of Equality is about 20,000 words, and Verak still had to follow Chris's handwriting, so it was only half completed before dinner. Fortunately, according to this progress, there will be enough to write when I meet Daniel tomorrow.
over.
After dinner with the Carmines, Verak returned to his room, and at one o'clock in the morning, he finally copied the first nine chapters of Theory of Equality into a new notebook.
Wednesday, August 2nd.
I don’t know if Carmine ran out of time, or if he took Verak out yesterday just on a whim. In short, today was as ordinary as water and he didn’t get the chance to go out. At four o’clock in the afternoon, Verak said hello to Fletcher.
Fletcher said he wanted to go to the door to relax, but Fletcher did not stop him. Verak was able to see Daniel, gave him a new task, and handed him the new theory of equality for him to circulate within the Equality Society.
After Chloe brings the detailed information about Paramount Company and Verak has made a plan, all he has to do is wait for Carmine to relax about his travels again, then contact Paramount Company and make a deal.
You can leave Lezein directly.
In Verak's view, Carmine will not put him under house arrest for more than half a month, because his purpose of disguising himself as Chris is to dispel the government's suspicion. If he stays at home all the time, the effect will be greatly reduced. So he predicts that he will
It won't take two months, one month is enough to achieve the goal and run away.
The only thing that worries him now is Diaz's side.
Before the accident, Verak and Diaz agreed to meet at Clayton Garden at six o'clock every night. Now that he is under house arrest again, he has never been able to see Diaz, and he doesn't know what Diaz does every day.
If I can't see him, will I continue to wait patiently or what?
He actually thought about asking Daniel to inform Diaz that he didn't have to wait for him for the time being, but there would still be some risks associated with the intersection of these two non-intersecting lines. For the sake of safety, he decided to trust Diaz's composure.
Nothing can go wrong.
Back in the bedroom, Verak tried to find something to do for himself.
Make deductions about future events and devise countermeasures for multiple possibilities.
It's a pity that Verak has already thought about most of the things in countless nights, and now he can only conduct a review to make sure that there are no problems, and once again there is nothing to do.
He paced back and forth in front of the bookshelf, scanning the piles of books.
He had already read these books in his previous life, and had read them more than once at Fletcher's request. He was not interested in these classical literature at all. He just forced himself to memorize them all in order to play Chris well. No matter how boring they are now
He didn't even think about looking at these things.
But other than that, there was nothing in this room to pass the time.
I can't stay here any longer, I'll suffocate to death sooner or later.
Verak thought so.
Now that he and Fletcher had come together, Verak immediately found Fletcher.
"What's the matter, Master Chris?" Fletcher was inspecting the maid's hygiene after cleaning today.
"I'm so bored, I need to find something to do." Verak said.
"You came to me to find something to do?"
"Yes."
"I can't help you with this. Mr. Carmine asked you not to leave the mansion. You relaxing at the door this afternoon is the maximum concession I can make." Fletcher shook his head and expressed his helplessness. "If you are really bored, you can't leave the mansion."
When Mr. Carmine comes back, you can go talk to him personally."
Fletcher was racking his brains to think of how to get revenge on Verak, but he didn't expect that Verak would come to ask for help today.
Naturally, Fletcher couldn't help him. He wanted to see Verak become more and more irritable and do something wrong in front of Mr. Carmine, and then he could justifiably teach Mr. Carmine a lesson.
"Come to my bedroom." It was not convenient to talk about private things in the corridor, so Verak asked Fletcher to come to his room.
"What are you doing?" Fletcher had a neither humble nor arrogant expression on his face, waiting for a good show.
Verak tried to make a deal with Fletcher: "Mr. Carmine is busy with work every day and is not at home during the day. Mrs. Mela and Miss Kellerman will not just come to my room to find me. As for Julia,
If you go to school every day, you won’t interact with me. So, as long as you turn a blind eye, I won’t be discovered by anyone when I go out to relax for an hour every day.”
"Impossible, Verak." Fletcher sneered, "Do you think you can cover the sky in Thomas's mansion by holding one of my handles? I will not help you do this under any circumstances.
, once discovered by Mr. Carmine, both of us will die miserably."
"As long as you agree, I promise that I will never humiliate you again and we will coexist peacefully." Verak lied without a red face and a heartbeat.
Anyway, as long as I can fool myself through this period of time, it will be fine.
Before leaving, he would make Fletcher pay for Dempsey's death no matter what.
"Don't waste your time, I can't help you." Fletcher sat down contentedly, "What can you do if I don't help you? Is it possible that we will die together because of this matter? I admit that you are too.
I am a smart man, and since I am a smart man, I should know that the transaction you are talking about has no appeal to me."
"Indeed." Verak agreed deeply, "Today's situation is completely different from that day. It should be me who is afraid, not you."
"It's good to know. In fact, we each have our own reasons. Even if you don't dare to sell me out, there will be no benefit to you." Fletcher chuckled, thinking that he had regained control of the situation, and stood up and walked to the door.
"boom!"
"Uh!" Just when Fletcher was about to open the door and go out, a hard object suddenly hit his head from behind. He held his head in pain and turned around to see Verak walking leisurely in front of the bookshelf.
, was pulling out a thick book and throwing it at himself, "You..."
"Then do you dare to complain now? If you complain, you will die together." Verak said and threw another book at Fletcher.
Fletcher struggled to escape: "You... uh... do you really want to break up with me?"
Verac said nothing, and took out two more books and threw them at Fletcher. Seeing that he could not frighten Verac, Fletcher had no choice but to escape from the bedroom.
After Fletcher fled, Verak walked to the door, collected the books, put them back on the bookshelf, and said to himself: "Sooner or later you will be eager for me to go out."
