So far, among the many extraordinary people, who has left the deepest impression on Goethe?
The wealthy owner of the Pine Nut Hotel?
The far-reaching ‘Flesh and Blood Church’?
No!
None!
The 'Mist Murderer' whom he had already killed was the guy who impressed him the most.
Naturally, it was because the other party was his first extraordinary enemy.
But the madness of the ‘Mist Killer’ is also extremely important.
Therefore, when Andinan proposed to convince those guys who might be extraordinary beings, Goethe almost subconsciously thought of the "Mist Killer".
Is there anything scarier than a madman?
A powerful madman of course!
After Goethe made the suggestion, Andinan's eyes lit up.
The clever young man grasped Goethe's idea in an instant.
Moreover, Andinan trusted Goethe's professional advice.
Mystery and madness are like twins, convincing enough.
If you don't believe it?
That will cost him his life!
"I see!"
The young man nodded vigorously.
Afterwards, the two began to discuss the details in detail.
Soon, night fell.
Carriages drove towards No. 6 Castle Street.
Compared with Kimmel Street, which is close to the core of Hessettins, Castle Street is already located in the core of Hessettins, just a stone's throw away from the royal castle and palace.
At No. 6 Castle Street at night, because of this party, the door had already been opened, revealing the spraying fountain. Well-trained waiters were waiting there, introducing well-dressed guests into the party hall.
.
Goethe, hiding in the dark, looked at these guests.
There were 4 people in total, and each one looked quite wealthy.
The carriage he rode in was no less impressive than Goethe's carriage. Among his accessories, there was no lack of gold and silver, and one of them even wore a gemstone brooch.
Goethe was not surprised by this.
Although it is not absolute, those who have access to 'extraordinary knowledge' should have a good family background.
After all, books are not cheap in this day and age.
Moreover, most people who have the ability and time to read are people who do not worry about their livelihood.
As for ordinary people being exposed to ‘extraordinary knowledge’?
There may be.
But very few.
When he was in his hometown, a Master Lu once said, "All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome" - Goethe couldn't remember exactly who said this, so he thought it was Master Lu.
Said.
Very realistic and ironic.
In other words, it is because of irony that it is reality.
In the slums of Hersettins, many people will die because of a disease without money for treatment, but the middle class not far away will think about what they should eat to look decent and which salon they should go to on the weekend.
To make their own class appear to be rising, the real rich think about how to treat the middle class as leeks and let them be cut off willingly.
Food for the poor.
Being middle class means face.
The rich are stable.
Therefore, human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.
Goethe looked towards the noisy hall.
As the guests arrived one after another, Andinan's performance began——
The young man signaled the waiter to leave, and after the bodyguards stood guard outside the door, he invited the four guests to sit on the sofa. The hall, which had already been vacated, was so empty that it was a bit quiet.
Moreover, the few candlelights made the entire hall become dark.
"I'm very happy that everyone can come as promised."
Andinan sat there and said in a joyful voice.
Then, the voice became deeper.
"I also hope that everyone will not disappoint me."
The candlelight flickered, making Andinan's face appear faintly.
A strange feeling arises spontaneously.
These were naturally intentional by Andinan.
After Goethe told him to perform wildly, Andinan thought a lot.
He is not a professional actor, and he certainly cannot have such rich facial expressions, or can make people feel crazy with just one look.
Therefore, Andinan chose the changes in voice pitch and atmosphere to enhance it.
From the looks of it, the effect looks good.
The four guests in front of me were already a little nervous.
"Of course not."
"We have something in common and can be called friends and partners."
"How is it possible to cheat?"
An old man with gray hair put his hands on his cane and said loudly.
While speaking, the old man glanced at the people beside him without trace.
This is a middle-aged man with a strong build and a somewhat fierce face.
After catching the old man's gaze, he said immediately.
"yes!"
"As a friend and partner, the most important thing is to believe!"
As he said that, the other person sat up straight, relying on his strong body and trying his best to show his sense of security.
The remaining men and women nodded and agreed with the middle-aged man's words.
The man continued to remain silent, while the woman opened the folding fan, blocked it in front of her, and spoke softly.
"Mr. Andinan, it is the greatest sincerity for us to appear here without any cover-up, isn't it?"
"You know, a few decades ago, gatherings like ours would have been burned to death!"
"Of course! Of course!"
Andy Nan nodded repeatedly and spoke quickly and quickly.
"Originally I prepared a cloak and a mask, hoping that everyone would have reservations. After all, everyone has their own secrets, but... some secrets are destined not to be known to everyone!"
The speech speed increased and became high-pitched.
Andinan, who was sitting there, stood up and raised his arms as if to welcome something.
This scene shocked the four guests.
They looked at each other.
Almost subconsciously, the middle-aged burly man and the lady looked at the old man.
The old man remained calm.
"secret?"
"What kind of secret is it?"
The old man asked.
"Of course some special powers!"
Andinan lowered his head and stared at the old man.
That kind of fixed gaze made the old man feel uncomfortable and he instinctively avoided his sight.
After the old man avoided looking, the young man continued.
"I will share that secret with everyone, but..."
"There's a test!"
When they heard the secret being shared, the four guests' breathing quickened, but when they heard the test, all four of them frowned.
"Is this how you treat your friends?"
"If that's the case..."
"I quit!"
The lady holding the folding fan stood up and was about to leave.
Andinan laughed, from softly to loudly, then to laughter.
"No one who comes here can quit!"
"500 kilograms of explosives were buried under the floor of the hall. I made a delay device. As long as I don't close it, the explosives will explode in about five minutes!"
The laughter stopped, and the young man glanced at the four guests.
The four guests trembled, and the lady even growled.
"You're crazy!"
With that said, the lady quickly rushed to the door and wanted to leave.
However, after trying hard for a long time, the door could not be opened.
"I sent someone to lock the door."
"Maybe you can try the window, but I can't guarantee that you won't encounter any accidents... Or, you have a better choice to touch this crystal ball."
Andinan's words continued. The sturdy middle-aged man who had been close to the window fled as if avoiding a snake and scorpion. He came back and looked at the corner pointed by the young man with the remaining three people.
There is a crystal ball placed on a wooden shelf.
The four of them originally thought it was a decoration.
But I didn't expect it to be a test prop.
Andinan's eyes swept over the four people one by one, with a smile on his face.
"Who comes first?"
the young man asked.
At the same time, he looked at the silent man without trace.
Andinan was not a fool. He could clearly see the 'interaction' between the burly middle-aged lady and the old man.
There is no doubt that the three of them are liars.
This made the young man feel a little disappointed. He recalled how he met the extraordinary beings one after another after meeting the old man for the first time. At that time, he was still lamenting that his luck had turned around, but now it seems that it was completely planned by the other party.
"How stupid!"
"If I hadn't met Mr. Marple..."
"I've been deceived all over now!"
The young man who sighed in his heart was full of joy.
Because, he not only met an extraordinary person.
But two!
The silent man is also a transcendent person!
While the young man was still thinking about how to cooperate with the other party next, he saw the silent man suddenly took out a revolver from his waist and pointed it straight at him.
Andinan was stunned.
Then I saw——
The sturdy middle-aged man, the lady and the old man just stood behind the silent man.
