Chapter 52: Dangerous Intuition
"Why refuse Victor Kenstein?"
In the train station of Renas, Anthony, who listened to Stephanie tell the ins and outs of the matter, looked at Donald, who was sitting on a bench and stroked Finger's belly, and asked.
The latter had not spoken much since leaving the slum to the train station, only focusing on the trains on both sides of the platform and a factory building shrouded in the setting sun in the distance, the orange-red light did not match the gray-black factory walls.
"The reason for rejecting him was largely because of a sudden intuition in my head...... Doesn't that sound a little unreliable?"
Donald's thumb pinched the ball of flesh on Finger's paws, which he had been using lately to relieve mental exhaustion when using agile thinking.
In fact, if Victor Kenstein is telling the truth, then Donald has to admit that this is undoubtedly a win-win situation, after all, Donald's goal is to kill Pop Salazar, as long as he controls Sewvett Taros, he can not only avoid the Rainas guard force that obeys the orders of the Talos family, but also use this power for his own use.
With a little manipulation, it may even form a counter-encirclement of Pop Salazar, and Donald may be able to easily take down the owner of this destructive force with this power.
But he always felt that something was wrong.
"Intuition is a subconscious judgment that people make about some information that they have gathered at the moment, and you must have noticed something wrong, so you have this thought, and other people will definitely not be able to say why, but you have a talent for agile thinking, and I believe you should be able to recall it. ”
If it were someone else, Anthony might still feel a little unreliable, and for Donald, it was naturally another way to put it.
"I thought it was because you weren't satisfied with the corpse technology that you didn't want to cooperate with him. ”
Stephanie asked in passing with a brown scarf with a tassel in her hand and put it around Donald's neck.
"Do you remember the young men who came when Victor was unconscious?"
Lowering his head and straightening his scarf, Donald leaned back in his chair, recalling the situation.
"Of course, they are all energetic young men and women. ”
Anthony was standing next to Donald at the time, and the two also speculated about their relationship with Victor.
"When I was chatting with Victor on the second floor, I found that he seemed to have a habit of preaching, and he had to break everything up and break it up, and I mentioned his status as a teacher, and he didn't refute me, so I thought that the relationship between those young people and Victor was that of a teacher-student. ”
It was just a guess, and Donald didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he came to the train station and sat down, and really started to think about it, he realized that there was something unusual about it.
"Think about it carefully, even if the relationship between the teacher and the student is good, after learning that his teacher has become a wanted criminal in Renas, but a key wanted person in the top ranking, can he run so desperately?
After a pause, Donald tapped his finger on Finger's forehead and said,
"Take a step back and say, Victor has really established an unbreakable teacher-student friendship with these young people with his unique personal charm, and they are willing to accept a mentor as a wanted criminal, so why did they come so quickly, I don't believe that these people who don't have telepathy with each other could sense this on their own. ”
When Victor was sent to the ghetto on the advice of the three young men, Donald clearly remembered that there was only one person in the room, the bearer of the notebook on the windowsill.
"It's true that those people didn't come at the same time, which means that they didn't gather when Victor arrived, and someone deliberately contacted other people in some way after Victor was delivered...... But I didn't see the telephone in that room. ”
Although the communication technology of this era has developed, it is still at the level of dial-up automatic telephones, and its popularity is not as widespread as imagined, such as this kind of slum, maybe only one in ten households, which is itself an external reflection of family conditions.
The question is, these people are all slum dwellers, so why do they have telephones in every house?
"There's only one possibility, they have something to do with our portable communicators...... With a unified and fast way of contact, strong execution, and a strong relationship centered on Victor, do you still think they are just a group of energetic young people?"
The points put forward by Donald have in fact constituted the rudiments of an organization, or small association.
Victor, a researcher, why did he create this kind of organization?
"I remember, the notebook I saw on the windowsill contains information about the Taros family and some scattered descriptions of the area of Renas City, so they have been studying the Taros family for a long time?"
The divergence of thought reminded Stephanie of what she had seen in her notebook.
"That's right! Victor said that in order to survive, he continued his research, so he had to use the technology that Sewvet Talos had developed privately to control him, and at first glance it sounded fine, but combined with the contents of the notebook...... After controlling Sewit Taros, he probably wants more than that!"
Donald doesn't know much about Victor as a person, but he has never been afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice.
"You're worried that he's trying to do something out of bounds by controlling Sewvett Talos?"
As Anthony spoke, a train arrived in front of the platform, and Donald glanced at the number, they had to get on.
When the train stopped, the sound of a whistle spread throughout the station, and some white mist escaped from the body, which could be caused by some exhaust cooling or something.
Donald paused in the cacophony of voices before continuing: "It's not that I'm afraid that he will cross the line, after all, Renas has nothing to do with us, as long as we can kill Pop Salazar, who cares what Victor wants to do, what I care about is that if we really help Victor achieve his goal, then our group will become participants in his plan...... Controlling the heir of a duke-level family is enough for a dozen hangings, right?"
Donald has made it very clear that once Victor's job is discovered, the Talos family will definitely destroy them at all costs.
If you don't want to develop into this situation, you can only keep this secret forever, then the problem is, Victor and Donald and his party know the secret, and the things that control Sewit Talos are in Victor's hands.
Victor naturally didn't want to be hung back and forth a dozen times...... How can Donald and other outsiders keep a secret forever?
"When we kill Pop Salazar, Victor's enemy will probably be us. ”
After a short pause the train left the Rainas train station, Donald leaned against the window and said meaningfully,
"Pope Salazar, this guy has found a good backer, and if you want to kill him, I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”
Of course, these are just Donald's personal speculations, and perhaps Victor didn't think about it that much, but for the former, he was used to being designed, and he couldn't possibly put himself in this situation.
"Since we can't think of a way for the time being, let's go forward, maybe when we come back from the Temple of Justice, one of the three of you will become a dominant-level powerhouse, and when the time comes, maybe you will come back and directly press Pop Salazar to the ground and beat him. ”
Sometimes it's important to have someone on the team who can liven up the atmosphere, Stephanie senses the heaviness of Donald and Anthony's heart, Lilo doesn't care about it, Julia can't interject because she doesn't know the specific situation, so she can only keep silent, and only she stands up in this situation.
Secretly used his natural ability to change Donald and Anthony's mood, freeing them from heavy thoughts and turning their mood into high-spirited optimism.
"yes, this is a new application?"
Feeling a little surprised by the change in his mood, Donald smiled and pinched Stephanie's cheek and asked.
"Of course, it's not just you who have grown, I've been thinking that since my talent can be used on the enemy, it can naturally be used on you, and emotions such as pain, sadness, and confusion play a negative role, so emotions such as high-spiritedness, excitement, and calmness can naturally benefit you in battle. ”
Needless to say, the impact of emotional changes on a person is not limited to the external mental state, but also has an impact on the individual's physical condition.
For example, if a person in a state of excitement can perform better than usual, on the other hand, if he can stay calm at all times in a life-and-death fight, he may naturally seize the opportunity to win faster than the enemy.
It proved to be effective, and both Donald and Anthony lost a bit of weight on their faces after Stephanie's interruption.
At the same time, the scene outside the train window shifts from the city to the wilderness, and further afield, a tree line begins to appear black and gray as the night light dims.
The Howling Forest is almost here.
Several people left their seats and walked to the aisle between the train cars.
"I'm in charge of Stephanie and Julia, and Lilo is in charge of Anthony, ready or not...... Let's go!"
There wasn't much preparation, the train speed in this era was not fast, and although the spiritual power of Donald and Lilo was not enough to fly with people, if they just took them to levitate and drift away from the train, there would be no problem.
Landing with ease, Donald's gaze fell on the forest, which looked a little desolate because of the season.
At this time, Donald didn't know how much this trip to the Howling Forest would change him......
