He said he was going to Shengfang Manor, but in fact Gu Chi took Lingmao to a coffee shop.
Logically speaking, imperative statements should not be within the scope of lying, but for the sake of safety, Gu Chi thought it was better to lie.
Life is not about having a baby, it comes only once.
It will also be more efficient if the troops are divided into two groups.
After ordering two cups of coffee, Gu Chi looked at the information in his hand.
Contains Ms. Tracy's personal information and a photo of her daughter.
According to criminal records, Ms. Tracy was a painter.
A staunch "anti-contrarian" painter.
Most of her paintings express her hatred and abhorrence for Guize - which is no problem in itself. Who in the Capital of Order doesn't hate Guize?
It's just that not everyone has the courage like her. People will stay away from anything that has anything to do with trickery.
The paintings could not be sold, and Cuisi Li's originally good family situation declined as a result, and she gradually became poor.
But she still persisted.
Cui SiLi's artistic talent is very high, so high that it can be described as "genius", and there is often only a thin line between genius and madness. Cui SiLi explains this very well.
At the age of 27, her husband died of withering, just because he accidentally said he loved her.
This sentence hurts more than any other truth, and is the most fatal blow to a loving couple.
From then on, Cuisly developed a paranoid and crazy hatred for Guize, and the genius turned into a madman, and she stayed mad for forty years.
Neighbors and friends all understood and sympathized with Cuisly's experience, but they did not dare to get too close to her. The only thing they could do was to use money to help Cuisli so that she and her daughter would not starve to death.
Until one day, Trislien will take revenge.
She suddenly found her friends and asked them to speak in the Blood Mist Zone, cry in the Evil Spirit Zone, and speak out in the Blight Zone.
She also used those suggestive paintings as posters and leaflets, and distributed them everywhere in the name of promoting freedom.
This incident caused a huge fuss at the time.
Regardless of freedom or not, this behavior itself is undoubtedly instigating others to die.
Not surprisingly, Cuisly was quickly arrested on charges of intentional homicide and endangering public safety.
In the detention center, Trislee refused to listen to advice, showed no repentance, and even tried to bewitch the guards. She was eventually sentenced to a suspended death sentence, and was later sent to the Andel Hotel in the Blood Fog District to be used as a test subject for the Shadow.
That's pretty much the information on the file. I can get a rough idea, but it's not exhaustive.
This is why Gu Chi brought Lingmao to the coffee shop instead of going back to the hotel.
Trishley's daughter Daisy works in this cafe.
As for the Shengfeng Manor, leave it to Dr. Chen and Huang Ya.
Gu Chi is relieved that Tiantian is doing things.
Lingmao supported his head with one hand and stirred the coffee in the cup with the other, looking at Gu Chi as if he were admiring the scenery.
As a stupid person, Lingmao didn't dare to speak casually, nor did she bother Gu Chi's thinking in other ways - she was so quiet, well-behaved, obedient and sensible, so it wouldn't be too much to reward her for looking at Gu Chi more, right?
Lingmao tried to find some flaws in Gu Chi, but she couldn't find them for a long time. She only saw Gu Chi's strengths and weaknesses, as if she only had them...
Not long after, a middle-aged woman who had gone shopping returned to the coffee shop.
She looked about forty years old, wearing heavy makeup, but it still couldn't hide the haggardness and indifference between her eyebrows. Her expression seemed to be smiling, but there was not much sparkle in her eyes. It seemed that she was just trying to keep herself up due to professional needs.
Pretend to be in a good mood.
Gu Chi compared the photos on hand, glanced at the dazed Lingmao, lightly knocked on the table, and walked to the bar.
Lingmao came back to his senses, his cheeks were slightly red, he quickly shook off the messy things in his mind and followed Gu Chi.
"Hello, is this Miss Daisy?" Gu Chi asked.
Daisy turned back and looked at the strange man in front of her: "No."
Gu Chi smiled: "Can we talk?"
Daisy subconsciously wanted to refuse. She didn't have the habit of chatting with strangers, even if the other person was handsome enough - she didn't think there was anything about herself, an old woman, that could attract such a man.
But when she saw the black bracelet in Gu Chi's hand, Daisy swallowed her rejection.
Her calm and indifferent eyes suddenly had waves, and there was a faint trace of sadness. Although she had accepted this fact early in the morning, and even completely forgot about Cuisili's appearance, at this time, Daisy
I realized that I was just lying to myself.
How could a daughter forget her mother's face?
Those scattered memory fragments were pieced together in her mind, and Daisy seemed to have seen her mother smiling and coaxing her with a paper pinwheel when she was a child. These images remain as fresh as yesterday.
Daisy turned her head away, pursed her lips, and blinked her eyes several times. Her eyelashes left light black marks on the bags under her eyes. After a while, she asked: "What do you want to talk about?"
"We talked about everything, except for your mother's matter..." Gu Chi moved slightly closer to Daisy, lowering his head and voice, "It's about Guize."
Daisy's pupils shrank and she looked at Gu Chi in disbelief.
Can this man tell the truth?
Gu Chi: "Let's talk somewhere else?"
The blighted area is really not a good place to talk.
Influenced by her mother since she was a child, Daisy is not as afraid of tricks as others, but more hateful. This is consistent with Gu Chi's judgment. Daisy was shocked, but she quickly calmed down and wiped away the stain on her face.
Traces, said twice: "No."
"Go to my house."
Imperative sentences are indeed not affected by trickery.
Daisy took off the work apron she had just put on, asked for leave from the store manager, and left the cafe with Gu Chi.
Daisy's home is at the border of the Blight Zone and the Evil Zone. Gu Chi and others passed by here not long ago, but they never thought that the clues were right under their noses.
This is an old and small room. The sofa and coffee table are almost crowded together. The lighting is a bit poor, which makes the old and clean floor look a bit dirty.
It is hard to imagine that Cuisly and her daughter, who were once wealthy, would live in such a place. Even if they turned on the lights and illuminated the valuable and exquisite objects on the cabinet, they could not dispel the sense of abjection brought about by poverty.
The contrast becomes even more stark.
Without saying a word, Daisy led Gu Chi and Lingmao to the basement after entering the house.
Gu Chi smelled the smell of paint as soon as he opened the door.
This is a studio that is more spacious than the one on the first floor. The surrounding walls are filled with wooden shelves and oil paintings, glowing dimly under the light bulbs.
Gu Chi noticed a red line on the ground, dividing the studio into two areas, half withered area and half evil spirit area.
Lingmao looked at the paintings on the wall with some amazement. She found that these paintings were all so beautiful.
There was a forest lakeside at night, with ghostly shadows reflected in the sparkling lake, and people struggling in the ghostly shadows.
There are bustling cities at night, with fireworks blooming in the night sky and fires raging in the towns, which look very lively.
There is also a spiral staircase from a bird's-eye view, with a touch of red in the middle, like a splash of blood when a person falls to death.
Well... although it's a little abstract and anti-human, at least it's something she can understand.
"These are my mother's old paintings. How about it? Aren't they very dark?" Daisy had already walked to the evil spirit area of the studio. She didn't need to lie anymore. She held two small stools in her hands and placed them in front of the paint table.
He motioned for Gu Chi to sit down.
"Thanks."
Gu Chi answered her: "Darkness is relative. I can understand Ms. Cuisili's mood."
Lingmao was still next to the oil painting, and seemed to be very interested in the painting. She turned her head and asked Daisy: "Can I take a closer look at them?"
"Okay, you can do whatever you want." Daisy didn't like these paintings.
Trishley put much more effort into them than her daughter. If the memories the bracelet brought to her were beautiful, these oil paintings were painful. Daisy wanted to throw them away more than once.
Although she understands that Cuisly's change is due to the rules, this is not enough reason for a mother to ignore her daughter. Time can dilute many things, but this is the only thing that Daisy still can't let go of.
It's just that she is much more mature today than she was when she was young, and she can clearly see that underneath this unresolved feeling is her longing for Cuisili's gentle side, which is not all hate, but also contains heartbreaking love.
Trishley is her mother after all.
Daisy said calmly: "How did she die?"
"Shadow." Gu Chi replied, putting the bracelet on the table. "My companions and I found it from the belly of the strange thing when we were clearing the shadows at the Andel Hotel."
Daisy stared at the black bracelet, and after a while, she twitched her lips and said, "Then her death was not in vain. At least she made some contributions to other people."
"Did you ever stop her before?" Gu Chi asked, "about promoting freedom."
Daisy shook her head: "No, because I know I can't stop her."
"She is just a lunatic and won't listen to anyone."
"Do you know what it feels like for a little girl who is worried about her mother's starvation and goes to find her mother's favorite snacks, only to have oil paint splashed all over her body?"
"From then on, I never bothered her again."
She used the word "bother".
"She only had her husband in her eyes, not me as a daughter. At that time, I thought she just wanted to make a fool of herself so that she could reunite with my father earlier." Daisy said in a mocking tone, "I thought she was waiting for her
When I get old, I no longer have the energy to do anything, but facts have proven that a madman will always be a madman."
"After she was arrested, I went to the detention center to see her once. She told me to get out, saying that the world was hopeless and that I should make more money and choose a better cemetery for myself."
"At that moment, I had an extremely absurd feeling."
"She is like one of those sarcastic old ladies who only know how to curse. I can't believe that this is the gentle and elegant mother I once had."
Gu Chi was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe she is protecting you."
At that time, Trislee had been sentenced to death. Judging from Daisy's statement, it seemed that the "leaflet" Trislee promoted freedom was not sent to her daughter.
"Maybe." Daisy looked away from the bracelet at this time, "There was another reason why I didn't stop her."
Gu Chi: "Huh?"
Daisy: "I hope she succeeds."
Gu Chi: "Get freedom?"
Daisy: "No, it's revenge."
Promoting freedom is just a way of saying it. What Cuisly really wants to do is to avenge her dead husband.
This is actually easy to guess.
A person driven mad by hatred has no reason not to seek revenge.
Everyone knows that Trishley hates Deception, and so does Daisy.
She hates Gu Ze no less than Cuisili.
For Trishley, trickery killed her husband.
For Daisy, trickery killed her parents.
Just reason tells Daisy that the trick cannot be defeated and Cuisly cannot succeed, but she still has hope in her heart. She has no choice.
Daisy couldn't persuade Tracy.
You are already a lunatic anyway, so what if you get even crazier?
If Trislee is lucky enough to succeed, she might be able to find her mother. If she fails, Trislee will die, which is not a relief.
Not stopping her is the best support for Cuisly.
Daisy is willing to talk to Gu Chi about these things for this reason.
If Gu Chi can talk about the secrets, he might really be able to help her and her mother get revenge.
Gu Chi vaguely captured something: "Do you know Lord Avreya?"
"I heard this name when I was a child. My father said she was a very great person, but why she was great, my father didn't tell me." Daisy said.
"Because he can't tell you, but I can," Gu Chi said, "Elfreya Juze can face Juze head-on. No matter what she does, Juze can't kill her."
Daisy was surprised: "Is there really such a powerful person?"
Gu Chi nodded: "Since your father knows about Avreya, then your mother should also know. What I'm more curious about is that even such a powerful Avreya can't do anything with the trick. Why is your mother confident in finding the trick?
revenge?"
"I don't know either……"
In fact, Daisy doesn't need to know.
When Gu Chi asked this question, he already had the answer in his heart.
If "eliminate the rules of deception" is a problem, then Cuisly has been looking for a way to solve the problem for most of her life. Until one day she found this way, she suddenly and uncharacteristically "repaid kindness with hatred and preached freedom."
With an extremely powerful senior like Avreya as a reference, Trisly still dares to challenge the rules, which shows that she is confident enough in her own way.
Now that Cui Sili is dead, it is impossible for Gu Chi to go down to her and ask her how she came up with the method and where she got the confidence. This is not important. What is important is to prove the correctness and feasibility of this method.
There is a very simple logic.
Gu Chi is extremely oppressive to the local residents and is not even allowed to mention it. If Avreya said that she had a way to solve the conspiracy, Gu Chi would definitely believe it, because Avreya has such strength, but Tris
Li is different - if a person can't even deal with shadows, how can you trust her to deal with deceit?
There are many shadows in the City of Sequence, and the black bracelet is just one of the many clues. It is not necessarily wrong or right. Unless the clues of other shadows also point to Trisili, they must first confirm that Trisili has this ability.
In addition, there is the most important point.
What is the ultimate goal of this copy?
The former leader of the City of Sequence, Lord Avreya, has been looking for ways to eliminate Sequence throughout her life. Now Trislee also wants to eliminate Sequence. It seems that this may be the player's task, but the problem is
The problem is that it doesn’t have a clear prompt?
"Gu Yuan, look at me quickly."
At this time, Lingmao suddenly shouted.
In the studio, the oil painting originally placed on the wall was pieced together by the girl.
The first three paintings she saw were among them.
The lake reflecting the ghost shadow is on the left. The shadow of the tree on the right side of the painting is like a thick "蠠". Next to it is a spiral staircase overlooking the perspective. The bell cat himself is holding an oil painting of a burning town above. The raging flames are just right.
It is in the shape of "".
Three oil paintings spelled out an exaggerated word "guilty".
And there are more than three oil paintings put together by Bellcat.
From left to right, there are a total of ten oil paintings, crookedly made up of four big characters——
