In the past, people often viewed me as a pessimist because they thought I had a negative attitude no matter what I did.
I don't want to refute them, but there are some puzzling questions for me: If pessimism makes me treat others negatively, how will an optimist face the things I have experienced? If the difference in attitude towards life can only be attributed to
Regarding the difference in subject, how should I explain the fact that I am born pessimistic? I think it is quite sad in itself. Even the pessimism that is acquired is the same.
Then, a paradox arises.
I discovered from this - my IQ does not allow me to think too deeply, otherwise I will definitely hit a dead end.
Occasionally thinking about difficult things can prevent me from getting Alzheimer's disease. However, if I think too much, I might become an old man who is particularly stubborn in some aspects... and that would be pretty bad. It seems that the divine eye is indeed suitable for me.
I only need to plan part of it, and God will complete the remaining steps for me, which is really gratifying.
I'm secretly glad.
"God's gift is really convenient."
The clever Ms. Snow made a comment as if she had just peeked into my heart.
"It's such a waste for me to use it."
"I can't agree, at least you saved me."
"Anyone with divine eyes can do this, right?"
"No, it's not a question of 'can' and 'can't', but a question of 'will' and 'won't'. In other words, only you will be willing to save me."
"Thank you for thinking so much."
As expected of a young man.
At the moment, we are in a garden villa in a wealthy area, and its owner is none other than Mr. Bradley.
......
Manda once communicated with me what she thought was the murderer's motive. Although the divine eye judged her statement to be wrong at the time, I noticed some abnormalities in her words.
Miss Schimmel entered the city on the same day as the murdered nobleman, and when Schimmel died, the nobleman happened to live next door to her, and then the nobleman also died.
Ximur was engaged in business during her lifetime, but she only used it as a pastime. There is no doubt that she had a certain amount of savings, but why did she have inventory involving the Wanderer?
There were quite a few residents in the attic, but the lord chose to kill Schimmel, and he firmly believed that in this way his ultimate target would obediently move into the Earl's Mansion to seek asylum.
——This gave me a guess: The noble Lord might know Miss Schimmel.
The police department blocked a lot of key information about Schimmel, which made it impossible for me to easily verify my guess. However, as a friend of Schimmel, Snow agreed with my guess because she had already had the same problem.
feelings.
In Xue's eyes, Schimuel has good physical fitness, as if he has received professional training.
Then, I realized that Schimuel was probably the bodyguard of the noble lord, or she had engaged in other similar jobs.
This made me suspicious of Bradley.
Why does he take special care of Schimmel? Could it be that he also...?
Then I went to see Mr. Bradley and told him all my thoughts, then told him the real cause of Schimmel's death and asked for his support--all under the direction of divine purpose, of course.
otherwise I would have no reason to take such a big risk.
As expected, Mr. Bradley did not refuse me and even offered to help us escape from the police station.
This is how my hypothesis was confirmed.
......
The basement we are in is very hidden and requires a special key to enter.
Footsteps approaching - Mr. Bradley is here.
I immediately stood up and walked towards him.
"How can I repay you? Dear Mr. Bradley."
Mr. Bradley smiled:
"Did you encounter anything unusual on the road?"
"The people you sent covered us very well, and I can guarantee that our whereabouts were not exposed."
"That's good."
He seemed relieved.
"Mr. Bradley, do you have any way to take us to the suburbs now?"
"Hmm... I'm thinking about this too, but unfortunately, the security at all city gates has been extremely tight recently, and you have to go through heavy inspections if you want to reach the suburbs."
"Oh, the lord also mobilized the army and went to war in such a big way."
"Huh? So you haven't heard of it?"
Mr. Bradley was a little surprised to see my puzzled look.
"In two months, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will visit Woolworth in person, so before that, it is necessary to 'clear' the obstacles nearby to prevent accidents from happening."
"That's it."
"You should stay here during this period. If there are any special circumstances, my servants can inform you as soon as possible - I only gave them the most basic information, and they know nothing about your identity.
, will not betray you, they are trustworthy, please rest assured."
I nodded.
"By the way, this is the layout sketch of the villa. The secret passages and secret rooms have been marked on it. Every morning at seven o'clock, I will have people deliver the supplies for the day. There is a back door in the basement that leads to my stable, which can be used when necessary.
”
I took the sketch.
......
All in all, with Mr. Bradley’s almost perfect arrangements, Xue and I successfully hid in the villa.
It was late at night, and after I finished sorting out the personal belongings that Mr. Bradley had brought for me from the old house where I used to live, I looked at the snow that had just returned to the basement.
"Anything gained?"
She can take on the appearance of anyone, so it’s perfect for her to go out alone to gather information.
"As you might expect, since the police department did not provide any explanation for the self-immolation incident, many people believed that the murderer was already dead."
"Thanks for your wonderful performance."
After relying on Manda's secret cooperation to escape, Xue used her ability to marry to deceive the police officers who stayed behind, and mobilized the police station's radio in the name of the lord.
At that time, most of the police officers were distracted by my disappearance and the sudden self-immolation incident, so Xue's actions were not hindered much.
"People from the police station will never deny the content mentioned in the broadcast. After all, you are using the voice of the lord. If the lord does not admit it, then he must expose the fact that you are a demon, otherwise he will not be able to explain the broadcast to the public.
Who is the voice inside... But this behavior will undoubtedly cause greater panic, so the cautious lord will naturally choose other methods."
"This was also something you predicted through your divine eyes?"
"No, it's purely a psychological game."
I shrugged:
"God's gift is not so omnipotent. However, for decisions made based solely on my own judgment, I will always have a backup plan, at least it is impossible to slip up at a critical moment."
"I really envy you."
"...Sorry."
"No, you didn't say anything wrong. In other words, I just envy your way of doing things."
"This is the first time I have heard such words."
"..."
"Did you meet Mr. Bradley just now?"
"Hmm."
"What did he say?"
"He didn't recognize me."
"Well...he is such a kind person, I don't even dare to say thank you to him."
"Why?"
"Because I most likely cannot repay his kindness. If I thank him easily, it will seem like I am offending him."
I don't know what Mr. Bradley's purpose is, but there is no doubt that he has no reason to assist us without asking for compensation.
We need to figure out Mr. Bradley's intentions as soon as possible.
"How did you convince the trainee police officer?"
"Well, she knows how to be flexible. I told her the truth, and she thought it was not unreasonable, so she agreed to help me."
"It's unbelievable. In other words, she should be more rigid and trust the evidence provided by the police department."
"The truth is so strange...Originally I didn't want to involve her, but my personal abilities are limited, and she..."
"In other words, she asked for it?"
"So be it."
"Incredible."
Now I owe Manda another favor.
"Oh, I almost forgot - the day after tomorrow at around four o'clock in the afternoon, please go to the 'Shangpin' bakery on East 23rd Street, Manda will be waiting for you there. You can get the seal that Manda brought
After picking up the gift box, walk to the Cross Bank in the central square, hand the box to Miss Karen at the counter, and tell her that this is the clothing Mr. Hammons needs for the banquet."
"Okay."
"There will be a small note attached to the bottom of the gift box. You should tear it off when you get the chance. Be sure to keep it well and don't damage the words on the paper."
"Okay."
"Try to take a path with fewer people... If you encounter a police officer interrogating you, never let the other person open the box. In an emergency, use the [Fire Charm] to burn it. There are smoke bombs in the box that will explode when exposed to fire. You can
Use this to escape. Mr. Bradley will also send someone to protect you secretly."
"I know."
"Please, this is the necessary preparation to rescue Felinord."
"Felinold...is your cohabitant?"
"Yes, he is being held somewhere right now."
"..."
"In addition, I have made two important discoveries."
"..."
"First of all, not all police officers know the truth. The vast majority of police officers just blindly follow Brooke's instructions. Secondly, the police chief Brooke can be used."
"What do you mean?"
"Based on Brooke's words and deeds, I can conclude that he is not a person without a bottom line. He has no need to show me any supporting documents. After all, he has no intention of interrogating me or treating me as a suspect. Moreover, when interrogating you,
He deliberately ignored the flaws in your answer."
Schimmel's death was after 11 o'clock that night, and Snow entered the attic around nine o'clock. However, Snow claimed during the interrogation that Schimmel was already dead when he saw him. This is undoubtedly illogical -
—I specifically let Snow make this stupid mistake in order to observe Brooke’s reaction.
"His heart was shaking because he couldn't fully agree with the lord's actions, but he couldn't disobey the lord's orders, so he just wanted to get rid of the responsibility as soon as possible."
"..."
"I'm going to give it a try...Brooke is the one to win over."
"What a bold decision."
"Although I don't know how to practice it yet."
"You are worthy of being an eternal person. In other words, you are already amazing."
"Oh, oh, oh, Miss Xue praised me so frankly."
"Very few people would do this for me. In other words, I don't understand why you would rather give up your past life to save me."
"I have no nostalgia for the life I used to live like a mouse. However, I occasionally feel guilty because of my impulsiveness. After all, many innocent people have been implicated."
"...But it's exciting, isn't it?"
"You're right."
"I like days like this."
"..."
"After experiencing these things, everything becomes insignificant. In other words, even if I die now, I will not feel regret."
"Well, that's good."
I suddenly felt at ease.
"Oh, it would be nice if you were so gentle from the beginning."
"Initially?"
"Remember? When I first met you, you looked like a hedgehog."
"...It was the adults who asked me to take the initiative to approach you."
"No wonder you look reluctant."
"But I still attracted your attention."
"I can't refute this."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Well, actually I have wanted to emphasize this for a long time... Miss Xue, I have no problem with you lying on top of me, but I am very honored. However, I am really too tired."
"Really? But you have obviously packed the clothes in the package."
"Well, having said that, I can't keep squatting all the time. It's very energy-consuming."
"...Okay."
The feeling of oppression behind my back gradually disappeared.
......
"Miss Xue? Are you asleep?"
"Awake."
"If, I mean if, after your death, I find your father, do you need me to give you a few words?"
"No need."
"Okay."
"...I saved some money, you can just give it to him for me when the time comes."
