139 at your fingertips

"Hoden, Hoden, are you alright?"

Anxious and worried voices came from far and near, and in a trance there was the illusion that the other side of the valley was shouting loudly.

Holden couldn't stand up.

He still kept his knees on the ground and his hands propped up, his knees and arms trembling slightly, the large pieces of sweat on his forehead fell to the ground like this, shattering into an ugly petal, and his violently undulating chest was trying his best to find the rhythm of breathing.

The forcible force after the overdraft of the spiritual energy instantly drained all his energy, and he completely withered from his spirit to his body, as if his entire body had been hollowed out.

But that's not the worst of the problemβ€”the psionic powers are now starting to recover, and the growth of the broken ones is coming faster than expected, and the really bad thing is that the clues that slip through the fingertips are within reach, whether it's Victor or the Assassin.

Damn it!

For the first time in a long time, it was so close to the clue that it could even be said to have reached the fingertips, and it turned out to be missed.

"Hoden!"

The previous call was for Pasia, and this time it was Issa.

Issa walked quickly to Hoden's side and got down on one knee and cast his gaze at Hoden.

Hodden could notice that Issa rushed out as soon as he was right now, and he should have noticed the movement - in terms of the ability of the psykers, Issa and Parsia are better than Holden, which makes Hedon inevitably raise his head with a glimmer of hope, "Did you find a clue?"

Isa's expression was so bad that it was almost impossible to hide, but she shook her head in denial, pausing, "...... The speed of the people came was very fast, and they disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye, and they should be professionals. ”

Issa had made a similar speculation about the Lenoor's murder last time, and Holden refuted it, but this time, Holden acquiesced.

"Can you stand up?" Issa looked at Howlen worriedly, and although she didn't want to see anyone get into trouble, she would be even more upset and guilty if Hoden, an outsider, had an accident under her guardianship.

Hodden didn't answer, looking down at the sweat directly below, drop by drop, and his clenched teeth almost crushed his teeth directly, and the negative emotions were instantly released, but then he regained his composure again:

Haste makes waste.

This is an eternal truth. What's more, since the other party has leaked the horse's feet once today, it also means that the other party is not invulnerable.

Tonight's experience proves one thing-

Whoever the other party was, neither he nor she nor they realized that Hoden was still alive, or that Hoden had something to do with Viscount Philo's death. Otherwise, when he assassinated Victor tonight, it would have been easy to kill Horden, and Horden would have no chance at all.

Then, he needs to hide his figure even more now, and he must not expose it easily.

"I'm fine. Hoden's voice had regained its calmness, "It's just a little off-the-beaten." ”

Glancing to the side, I could see Pascia lying on the ground unable to move, "What's wrong with him? ”

"Counter-devouring. Hearing Horden's words, Parcia showed a wry smile and took the initiative to explain, "The other party forcibly broke my thunder cage, and also killed Victor silently, neither of us was able to detect the other party's move, this is definitely a super master." ”

Issa, the only one who could move, walked over to Paxia and briefly checked Pacia to make sure that he was just an overdraft caused by the backlash, and then he was relieved.

Issa was also a little weak in her legs, and the continuous squatting and standing up movements made her almost fall, and she staggered two steps to stand firm, and her breathing adjusted, "I guess that the other party should be at least an intermediate psionic, and the whole technique is very skillful, not only can it fool us, but also leave no traces." ”

Issa cast an inquiring look at Hodden again.

Hoden was slowly standing up, his knees trembling violently, but he managed to get up, and he shook his head at Issa in denial.

Issa was a little disappointed, if even Horden couldn't detect the clues, it would mean that they didn't have any clues, which was undoubtedly a failure.

Thinking further about the case of Viscount Philo, the pressure piled up heavily in his chest, and he was a little out of breath.

But Issa quickly gathered her thoughts, she wasn't going to discuss it in front of Holden, and she didn't want Holden to get involved - the danger was already more than expected today, and there really was no way she could make Holden face the crisis again. Whatever happens, the next thing is a matter for the vigilantes.

Nothing to do with Hoden.

Issa turned to help Pacia stand up, "We need to send a message to the vigilantes. Now we have to protect the scene, and we have to protect the bodies, so that they come and collect clues. ”

As he spoke, Issa glanced at Hoden, as if to save the opinion: Is this how the protection site is protected?

Hoden nodded, "Don't get closer, don't break anything as much as possible." An opponent may leave footprints, or leave unexpected clues, such as a piece of clothing in a hidden location, or the smell of perfume, and so on. All the clues throughout the scene could be key. ”

Parsia's eyes widened in amazement, but she didn't have the strength to speak again, so she froze.

Issa nodded carefully to show that she understood: she needs to learn about solving the case and finding clues, and the security team also needs to learn, step by step.

Immediately afterward, Horden turned his head to look at Victor's house.

Victor's wife and children.

Issa only reacted at this time, from beginning to end, they ignored that there were still family members in the house, and the subsequent events happened too quickly and violently, and they didn't have time to notice Victor's family, if it wasn't for Holden's reminder, I'm afraid Issa still didn't think about it.

"Oops!"

Issa quickly turned and rushed to the front door of the house, slapping the door hard, constantly identifying himself and asking the other party to open the door.

Bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

The heavy and anxious sound filled the night - Victor's death was silent, and did not attract any attention from the pedestrians around him, but now Isa's movements disrupted the tranquility, and many eyes around him were projected, but for the time being, Victor in the pool of blood had not been found, so the riot had not yet appeared.

Hauden didn't have time to take care of his surroundings, and he moved his steps in the direction of the kitchen window with difficult and clumsy steps, pulling every inch of muscle with each movement, and the sour taste was really indescribable.

If it was normal, Holden would be lazy, and he would like to lie on the ground and raise his body, but today's situation is special, and it is the first time he is really close to the case of Viscount Philo, which also means that the clue to return home may be hidden in this house, so he still forced himself to cheer up and walked over.

But...... He was disappointed after all: a dead silence.
