268 A secret
Latuval, the giantess of the Realm of Death, silently awaits the soldiers who are unusually dead, but in the Kos community, she represents a faith, a faith that faces life bravely and meets challenges with determination, even if it is death, they choose to face it together.
They were a community of Kos and believed in La Touval.
That's all.
So, Hoden made a choice.
"Two months ago, I applied for a job as a waitress, and I was paid four crooks in one night, and there I met Robben's brother Samuel, and together we managed to get the job, which was Mr. Harford's banquet. β
"But, after that night, Samuel disappeared, and I woke up in a strange place, all around me, the buildings were crumbling, and I escaped at the last minute, only to have completely lost the memory of that week, and even the memory of the previous period was blurred. β
"I don't remember how I got there, I don't remember what happened to the dinner, I don't even remember Samuel and the other waiters. β
"I later learned that the place where it was destroyed and burned was Viscount Philo's private residence, and Viscount Philo had been burned to death. β
"I had no idea what was going on, I didn't know what was going to happen next, I didn't even know what I was facing. β
"The only thing that is certain now is that I want to be able to live, and Robben wants to be able to find Samuel. β
Horden told the ins and outs of the intricate things in the most concise and straightforward way, and as for the subsequent discoveries, there was no need to tell them for the time being.
The atmosphere was a little tense.
The black clouds above the head are piling up layer upon layer, and large areas of blue-gray are faintly rolling, and a storm is brewing at this time, and the depression and tension of the mountain rain and wind are slowly spreading, and even the mind can't help but panic, uncontrollably.
Although Horden had controlled his emotions and objectively stated a series of facts in a calm tone, the danger revealed between the lines still swept like a sharp edge, and involuntarily, the hairs on the surface of his skin stood upside down, and a cold chill came from his spine.
Robben turned his head to look at Horden with a gloomy expression, and his eyes flickered with confusion and nervousnessβ
Nor was he sure that they had made the right choice.
Even if you hear it again, the confusion and fear still hold on to the heart and breathless, so what about Thunderpeters and Brutus? More importantly, now that the two of them who are not involved are also involved, does this mean that danger is about to loom over them?
Hodden could sense the weight in Robben's sight, but he couldn't give an answer: choosing to trust Ray Peters and choosing to stick to the Kos community was also an adventure.
However, Hoden must admit Rapers' words and learn to ask his friends for help, which is the right choice, because they can't fight alone.
The goal of the Kos Society is to change the world, but it cannot change the world by relying on the power of one person alone, they need to come together.
So, Horden smiled at Robben, shrugged his shoulders with a lazy look, and looked like he was shaking his hands at the shopkeeper, which made Robben roll his eyes speechlessly, divert his gaze, and choose to ignore Horden.
The atmosphere was slightly tense, the dark clouds blocked the light of the sky, it was still noon, but it seemed to be approaching dusk, the sound of the hunting wind was whistling and crashing in the ears, and a sound of drums and drums could be faintly heard, getting louder and louder, gradually overshadowing the wind.
After careful discernment, I realized that it was the sound of the heart hitting the chest and the blood rushing through the blood vessels, and the roar echoed on the eardrum and danced lightly.
But it is difficult to tell whether this is fear or excitement.
Brutus was still a little out of the situation, slowly digesting the information - his mind just now had caused him to miss the key piece of the puzzle of events.
Ray Peters immediately connected the cause and effect of the incident, and then thought about Holden's motives, it was much simpler, "That part-time job was introduced to you and Samuel by Nightingale?"
Hodden nodded in affirmation, "According to Robben's clues, we have found some information and found the name Nick Nightingale. Later, hoping to find Nightingale with the help of some other force, I questioned you and Blue, but it turned out that something more happened than expected. β
The accidental involvement of Thunder Peters and Brutus is also the reason why Hoden believes he has made the wrong choice: his choice implicates the innocent.
But Thunderpeters didn't care at all, "And then, Nightingale died, and his residence was set on fire, like the private residence of Viscount Philo." β
"It's just a fire. Whether it was set on fire or not, we cannot yet draw conclusions. "Holden corrected the details, and although he knew that the likelihood of an accident was very low, everything was just suspicion or possibility until the results of the investigation were in, and only then could he keep his mind clear.
Especially when faced with such intricate puzzles.
Thunder Peters nodded in affirmation, "But either way, Nightingale and Viscount Philo's homes have been burned to ashes, right?"
Hauden and Robben exchanged glances, and they didn't discuss the details of this for the time being, but as soon as Ray Peters said that, things became delicate.
"Wait, what? Nightingale is dead, is she burned?" Brutus' voice came abruptly, unable to hide his surprise and consternation.
After wandering out of the situation for most of the half, Brutus's mind finally caught up, realizing the seriousness of the problem, stunned and a little frightened, but the details were still not fully sorted out, so that the reasoning before and after the words was not smooth, and the information splicing was not very accurate.
After the words blurted out, Brutus realized that his voice was completely raised and exploded-
Fortunately, Hoden had the foresight to leave the library first, otherwise they would have been the target of public criticism now, and secrecy would have been impossible.
The reactions of Brutus and Ray Peters confirmed Holden's fears, not to mention them, even when he first confirmed that the deceased was Nightingale, his shock and consternation were the same.
"No, Nightingale committed suicide by cutting open his stomach with his own hands and pulling out all his internal organs, and the fire broke out the night after our investigation was over. β
"I suspect that it may be that the security team of the 10th jurisdiction hyped up the results of solving the case, and then struck a snake, which led to the destruction of the corpse behind the scenes and destroyed all evidence. β
Although the worries have not dissipated, now that the topic has been opened, Holden has frankly talked all the way to the end and has no intention of hiding it. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
