008 It's all about acting
Sadly, Hano died after all. β
The story that the bald head was telling had an unusual direction, but Hodden noticed the details of the words: he didn't say that Umani had complied with Tamzi's request, but that he had directly conveyed the outcome of Hano's death, which meant that things had gone wrong.
Sure enough, the bald head continued.
"But not because Hano saved the villagers, but because Hano's medical skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, and he even has the ability to bring the dead back to life. This made Umani feel threatened, because only gods can have immortality, and now Hanno also has the superb medical skills to reverse life and death, not only to prolong life, but also to snatch the mortal soul from the hands of Tamqi, which also means that the laws of the universe will be broken. β
So Umani borrowed Dota's ability and hacked Hano to death. β
The other party was still talking quietly, and Holden was lost in thought-
On the surface, I am attentive because I listen to the stories, but in fact, I am complaining, why are these myths and stories familiar?
But the story doesn't end here. "The bald head knows how to start and end the story, and it needs to be reversed before the ending arrives to grab the listener's attention.
Sure enough, Horden also showed a look of surprise very cooperatively, "And the follow-up?"
The bald head nodded lightly in satisfaction, and continued:
It is rumored that Hano is the illegitimate son of Umani in the mortal world, but Umani does not know it, and after Umani kills Hano, the disgruntled Dota tells Umani the truth, which makes Umani heartbroken, but regrets it too late. So Umani lifted Hano into the sky and became a god. β
To this day, Hano, as the presiding being of medicine and truth, is still highly regarded as a person who has not been able to have his own church. β
At this point, when the story is finally told, Hoden responds with a soft bow, and then asks questions, like a good student visiting the church for the first time - in fact, it is indeed his first visit, and it is not strictly speaking, "But the court worships Shuma, the goddess of the earth. β
"Shuma is in charge of justice and fairness. But justice is not the same as truth. It's a short sentence, but it seems to be meaningful.
Hodden took the initiative to cast his gaze, and was greeted by a smiling face as warm as jade, with a shiny head and fair and soft skin that made him look like a glutinous rice cake.
"Thank you. Holden's expression still maintained the image of a modest and reserved student boy, "Sure enough, the teacher is right, in Iwabuchi, you can learn endless knowledge. Holden's eyes lit up slightly, like a young student who had just arrived in Iwabuchi, showing his curiosity.
"Of course. The bald head smiled and said, "You should go to the Iwabuchi Library not far away, where you will find your own faith." β
Holden did not leave immediately, but humbly consulted the Iwabuchi Library and the situation of Iwabuchi Academy, the first school in the continent, and was completely faithful to his role, as if he had mastered the essence of methodological acting, and after confirming that he knew enough information, he took his leave and left.
Now that the show has begun, whether the bald head realizes Holden's true purpose or not, or whether he recognizes Holden's appearance, it is always right to be cautious, after all, Holden has too little information now, and he may make a mistake in judgment if he is not careful.
Standing at the door of the main church of Umani, Horden walked in the direction of the Iwabuchi Library according to the direction of the bald head.
After walking out of the three streets, Hodden pretended that he had not been able to identify the right direction, and instead took a left step, he turned into a small alley.
According to the original plan, it was a good time to go to the Iwabuchi Library at this time, and at the same time, I was able to continue the performance, but there was something happening at the moment-
It is followed by a tail.
Should we continue to go to the Iwabuchi Library, stay in it for a few hours, and then get rid of the other party, or should we take advantage of the fact that the other party is not aware of their vigilance and take advantage of the fact that they are the first to take advantage of the situation, or even further probe for clues?
There was not much time to hesitate, and Hoden decisively chose the latter - since he had been followed, it was best to make full use of the initiative as much as possible while he was still in the driver's seat, after all, he didn't have many chips, and being beaten passively would only be worse.
However, Holden was a little puzzled, if the other party was a professional, how could the tracking and tailgating skills be recognized by him, an amateur, at once?
Things seem to be a little unusual, but there is not much time to think deeply, completely distract from the distractions in your mind, and concentrate all your attention.
As he turned the corner as usual, he could see the figure flashing at the end of his eye, reaffirming his judgment.
With a question mark in his mind, Hoden kept his unhurried pace, turned an alley again, and then stopped steadily at the bend to hide his figure.
Slowly, a light rain began to fall in the hazy sky, bringing a little dampness and cleanliness to the hazy sky, and the soot particles that permeated the air fell quickly along the raindrops, and the dust covering the buildings was also washed away a little, and the city revealed its original mottled and dirty appearance.
Hoden's gaze was fixed on the corner of the alley, his muscles tensed all over his body, and he maintained a touch-and-touch posture.
Await.
Waiting with bated breath, concentrating on his mobility, his eyes widening without blinking, and then he caught a barely visible shadow on the rain-shrouded ground, and then the moment the figure turned the alleyβ
Step on!
Step on!
In just two pauses, Horden had already grabbed the opponent's shoulders quickly and accurately, suppressed with a step reversal, exploded at full speed, braked urgently, and showed a ferocious explosive power in the muscle control of the body that was retracted and released, and instantly pressed the tail that followed him against the wall.
"Bang!"
The ferocious impact instantly exploded all the power, and the toughness and ruthlessness of the moment of life and death were vividly displayed at this moment, and there was truly no reservation, but this was still not all.
At the same time, the index finger and middle finger of the right hand are brought together, and the key hidden behind the fingertip is slightly protruded, and the first time it is raised and approached, and it is fiercely buckled on the opponent's throat. The appearance of the key is quietly hidden, but the hard metal end is pressed close to the throat, as if the aorta can be cut off with a slight pull.
The scorching snort slammed fiercely and brutally on the opponent's face, and the sharp and tough eyes burst out unabashedly, like a beast in the night, slowly revealing its fangs, ready to tear open the throat of the prey, and the bloody breath quietly spread.
Imminent!
