527. Traps
Is this the danger?
Is that guy named Hervin the one who is on guard at Lamont, that's why he's going to let himself test them.
Because they know a helper who is strong enough?
Cohen asked, pretending not to care:
"And where is he now?"
Veronica says:
"Does it matter?"
Cohen replied:
"If he's here, I'd like to be able to talk to him directly, and I feel like with his help, we can easily deal with Shanna and her allies. ”
Enid says:
"Now you're talking to me, so is this one outdated piece of information you can provide?
Nelly also asked:
"If you've escaped Shanna's grasp, then why do you know so much, it's not something you can just look up about her allies. ”
Cohen's face sank, and he turned his head to look at Enid:
"Who am I going to talk to now? you, or her?"
Enid was not in the slightest waver by his words:
"You talk to us, don't be clever, now you're on our territory, and we have no reason to believe you, maybe you're actually an undercover agent sent by Lamont and Shanna, so, whatever we ask you, you answer, understand?"
Cohen shook his head angrily:
"I'm here to help you, and you're doing this to me?"
Nelly looked him in the eye:
"Why are you reluctant to give reasons, because you can't?"
Cohen sighed:
"No, it's just that I don't want to say it, well, because I don't think it's necessary to say it, and it might affect your trust in me, so I didn't take the initiative to talk about it.
"Although I broke free from Shanna's captivity, it doesn't mean that I can ignore all her will, and I am here because of her.
"Now I am a striker in Shanna, and she has sent me to test you, but I am not going to fight you, but if our negotiations go well, I also need you to 'beat' me out.
"I told you about my hatred, but Shanna didn't actually notice my hatred, or she didn't think I would have the courage to resist, but on the contrary, my anger was enough to burn everything. ”
Cohen is almost always telling the truth.
For example, Lamont's identity is real, but he didn't tell Enid that this was a bargaining chip that Lamont gave him, and he did hate Shanna very much, but Shanna was not mistaken.
He didn't have the courage to resist the other side.
Not to mention that everything he saw now, Lamont was clear, he was not stupid enough to go against Lamont in this situation.
He doesn't want revenge, just freedom.
For those who have never had freedom, revenge is an illusion that cannot be hoped for.
He knew very well that the only role of fantasy was to help him get through this difficult time, and when it was over, the survivor should let go of the fantasy instead of drowning with it.
He hated Shanna more than he described, but he was also calmer.
Enid says:
"So you're actually our enemy?"
Cohen quickly explained:
"No, no, no, I didn't intend to be your enemy, I would be her minions, and also because I intended to lurk beside her, waiting for the day of revenge, and according to Mr. Lamont's prophecy, I thought today was my chance. ”
Nelly asked:
"If you really know Lamont, then you should know how terrible he is, how you can possibly think we can help you. ”
Cohen says:
"First of all, my target is not him, and how good is the relationship between Lamont and Shanna, and secondly, you can indeed threaten and even help me solve Shanna, this is Lamont's inference.
"I don't know anything, but I think you already know that you do have some kind of power, right?"
Enid and Nelly didn't deny it.
Cohen smiled:
"That's what I need, and we can use your power to set a trap for Shanna. ”
Neither Nelly nor Enid trust him.
But it doesn't matter.
He didn't want trust, but the easiest and safest way to figure out what they had in their hands, and after that, it was none of his business.
Enid asked:
"How are you going to set a trap with us? ”
Cohen says:
"First of all, we will fight, I will do my best, otherwise they will know that I have defected, so if you really have any secret means, use them and beat me out, although I will do my best, but I will not really want to defeat you, you have to beat me away.
"And the point is that after that, I will continue to contact you to separate Shanna and Lamont and create an opportunity to deal with them separately.
"But the point of it all is that I want to know what you can do? I know it may sound suspicious, but it's our only chance. ”
