168 Bonds of Trust
"Nick Nightingale. β
Brutus keenly noticed Holden's gaze, followed the line of sight, and saw the name at a glance, and there was a slight surprise in his eyes-
Although Holden said that he was looking for Nightingale, judging from Holden's expression, it looked more like he didn't know Nightingale than his previous statement.
Brutus is not good at analyzing clues, and he can't say why something is not normal, but judging from Holden's reaction and the recruitment information on the bulletin board, things are indeed a bit boring, and Holden should not be 100% honest. At least that's what the available information tells him.
So, how should he react?
Just then, Hoden's gaze projected, and his lazy and misty eyes didn't detect any emotion, just looked at it flatly.
But the doubts in Brutus's mind turned around, and then he asked, "Do you need to go to that address?"
Hoden pursed the corners of his lips, "I've already been." But there was no gain. β
Brutus bowed his head, he wasn't curious about Hoden's secrets, it didn't matter if they were lies or notβthe basic idea of his upbringing was not to pry into other people's secrets, not only because it was private, but also because secrets often meant inside information and danger.
If Holden selectively conceals part of the truth, Brutus is willing to believe that this is necessary. What's more, he can't say a reason now, and he can't be sure what is going on.
Regardless, he respects Hoden's secrets.
So, Brutus said sincerely, "It may take some time to find a person by private detectives, but if the situation is urgent, we can look for clues by divination, and the prophets can always give unexpected answers." β
While not prepared to snoop on Holden's privacy, Brutus is more than willing to lend a hand.
Then, Brutus' eyes brightened as he looked at Holden, "I can help." β
At the same time, Brutus puffed up his chest and tried his best to express his confidence, almost slapping his chest hard.
In the midst of lightning, Hoden must make a judgment and a choice: whether he should accept help, or whether he should pull back from the precipice.
When faced with Robben, because they were in the same boat, Hoden offered an olive branch and asked for help, but now the situation is different.
He wasn't sure if he should trust Thunder Peters and Brutus, or if he should involve Thunder Peters and Brutus - after all, he couldn't be sure how deep the matter would be, and with a high probability of an event, it wasn't a good thing.
It's a similar story.
Maybe he shouldn't have involved more innocent people.
But I couldn't help but think of Brutus's expression of the stick at tea time again, and Holden's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of playfulness.
Although their acquaintance was not smooth, after breaking the misunderstanding, the afternoon tea time was very happy.
Holden's answer was not coherent, there was a slight pause of about half a beat, and Brutus's eyes were slightly darkened, as if he was injured, but he still kept a smile and said, "Or, we can ask for the help of a professional prophet, and it's on the same street anyway." β
The corners of Hodden's mouth rose slightly, he straightened up, and turned to face Brutus completely, "I watched tea divination once before, I don't know what divination method you use?"
It was Horden who took the initiative to ask for help in the first place, so at least until Nightingale was found, he should continue to ask for help, instead of giving up halfway.
One sentence made Brutus's eyes light up again, "I've been studying an ancient ash divination method, which doesn't require high psionic energy, but the procedures are very cumbersome and delicate, and the real test is mental power and control, which I think is very interesting." How's that, are you interested?"
"What materials do we need?" said Holden, who didn't reply, but went straight to the point.
Regarding him and Samuel, Horden still didn't plan to let Raypeters and Brutus know, after all, there was a lot of involvement behind this matter.
But he's also going to make some friends, there's no need to isolate everyone out of choking, otherwise the first one who should be quarantined is Nair.
"That. Brutus raised his hand and pointed to the job posting, "This should be the person's object, if this is a notice he made himself, it would be great, I can use it to complete the divination." β
β...... Similar to the principle of a dog's nose?" was the first thought that popped into Hoden's mind.
Brutus thought about it seriously and couldn't help but laugh along, "...... There is no way to refute it. β
At this time, Thunder Peters and Robben also realized that the two of them were falling behind, and Ray Peters chased after them with words like "why did you fall behind".
After Brutus's explanation, Thunder Peters also became excited, but the excitement was fleeting, and then he began to complain, "Your divination? Are you sure? Why don't I think it's reliable? H. Holden, let's go to the back and seek the help of a professional prophet, right?"
β...... We can do our own divination first, and if the results are not accurate, we can always ask the prophet for help, why don't you believe me?" Brutus muttered and complained, "If I don't have the opportunity to practice, then my divination skills will never improve." β
At this time, Robben's footsteps also came to Holden's side.
But this time, Robben was not surprised or surprised, nor did he ask Horden what was going on, but subconsciously believed Horden. Unconsciously, Robben is also quietly changing.
"Do we need to find a quiet place?" Holden still didn't know much about divination, and his only experience was tea divination in Pacia.
Before Brutus could speak, Rypeters said loudly, "If you are a prophet, it is best to find an environment that is free from interference, but Blu is an exception. Because he is not a prophet at all, he is a liar at all! The results of his divination, I tell you......"
Ray Peters seemed to have a lot of complaints to express, but Brutus glared at him viciously, and he immediately complained to Holden, "Look, this guy is immediately exposed." The bottom line is seen through, and he is completely a liar. β
Unexpectedly, Hodden looked at Thunder Peters with a stunned face, and said solemnly, "Why do you think I'm on your side?" If I'm not mistaken, we're not familiar with each other. I don't necessarily have to support Blue, but I don't necessarily have to support you. β
Ray Peters was dumbfounded.
Brutus laughed happily, completely devoid of his usual noble son, and even Robben couldn't help but show a smile in his eyes. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
