160 Suspicion (2nd Watch)
At the same time, An Chengbi also judged the origin of the watch.
Ahn Seung-bi was not an antique expert or watch enthusiast, but he just happened to be very knowledgeable about the coats of arms of families that had produced powerful mages.
Of course, An Chengbi only has photos in his hand now, and the photos are not very clear, and it is difficult to confirm the true material of the watch through the photos, An Chengbi also knows that this judgment may not be reliable.
However, he didn't let people look closely at the front line - just in case Marsha, a Freudian guy, noticed the anomaly.
Last night, when Ma Sha took the initiative to show the pocket watch in front of An Chengbi's eyeliner, An Chengbi suspected that he had actually been promoted to the bachelor's rank, but the promotion speed was too bizarre to say it and would only be mistaken by others that An Chengbi was about to explode, so he didn't say anything.
He withdrew the surveillance of the Hou Ye Mansion, not to show favor to Taidou, but simply because he didn't want to be noticed by Ma Sha about more things.
Now, he is also very careful to avoid the Freudian perception through technical means.
As an old fritter who has been in Frankenstein circles for a long time, he knows very well how difficult the Freudian school is.
This school really does not have the ability to fight head-on, as long as it can enter the frontal battle, any school has a great chance of winning. But the problem is that you have to get into a head-to-head battle first.
He even suspected that the Freudian jokes, such as "the witcher can easily catch the Freudian weirdo if he sends a deaf man", were spread by the Freudians themselves.
In fact, witchers rarely hunt down the high-ranking Freudian school, because they are simply not found.
According to Ahn Seung-pil's experience over the years, when the Freudian school comes to you and openly declares its own school, it often means that you have been fooled.
Ahn Seungbi feels a little fooled now.
The "after-show" just now for pocket watches made An Chengbi basically sure that Masha had been promoted to the bachelor's level.
- He sensed the stealthy Lorentz school weirdos, and then preemptively made the first move.
- When the Darwinian weirdo girl jumped out, according to the report from the scene, he also seemed to know this and took action in advance.
Although these two details can be interpreted as "it was Taidou-sama who actually discovered the enemy", An Chengbi believes that at least the second raider was discovered by Masha himself - Taidou-sama found out that it would take time to notify Masha again, and Masha could not react so quickly.
An Chengbi is now ninety percent sure that Ma Sha has been promoted to the bachelor's rank.
- This promotion speed, there is something.
- No, it's not a level of something, it's a level of rebellion!
An Chengbi involuntarily diverged his thoughts.
Talent and intelligence do not make people promote so quickly, geniuses are indeed easier to complete the topics needed for promotion, and can understand the knowledge system of the school faster, but the smarter the person, the easier it is to go crazy, An Chengbi has seen many geniuses toss themselves to death.
However, there are some people in the Darwinian school who have always believed that human beings will gradually adapt to the principles of the world, so this group of people has been kidnapping pregnant women to engage in "prenatal education" and make test-tube babies, trying to create a "new human".
Ahn Seungbi had never heard of them succeeding.
But now Masha has been promoted to the bachelor's rank in just a few days.
A more reasonable explanation is that this new school of thought has a way to avoid human madness.
Ahn Seung-bi has received the news that there is a lecturer in the Republic of François, who claims that he is on the verge of a false explosion and has been saved by the master of the new school.
- If the ability of the new school can prevent the false explosion, then isn't it normal for Lord Taidou to be able to escort Masha when he is promoted ahead of schedule?
- Thinking about it this way, is this school of thought too strong?
- Is there such a strong school in the world?
- There is time to stop, and it can escort promotion, and it also has a wide range of forbidden demon abilities...... Is there really such an omnipotent school of thought?
- Will there be any fatal flaws in this school?
An Chengbi looked at the photo in front of him, and on the pocket watch in Marsha's hand, the coat of arms of the ancient and powerful O'Brien family was clearly visible.
——The treasure of the O'Brien family, a new nobleman like Marquis Ma will definitely not be able to get it, this can only be the property of Lord Taidou.
- Could it be that Lord Taidou is trying to cover up the decisive flaws of his school by showing off his treasures one after another, flexing his muscles to those of us?
- Could this be a bluff?
The more An Chengbi thought about it, the more he felt that he had found the right direction.
- I killed Marsha's fourth uncle, and Lord Taidou didn't react, I thought it was because Masha had a bad relationship with his fourth uncle.
- But if you think about it, Lord Taidou has been showing his strength, constantly showing the attitude of "Masha I'm covering", and now that Masha's relatives have been killed, isn't it a bit unreasonable that he has no reaction? This will greatly reduce the effect of his previous muscle-flexing.
- Is it possible that Taidou-sama can't actually respond?
Thinking of this, An Chengbi's heart began to stir.
Of course, he longed for the pocket watch from the old O'Brien family in Marsha's hand, but now what he wanted to do more was to test the details of the new school and find its weaknesses.
He originally wanted to wait for the joint meeting of professors to do something, but now he decided to do it himself - the joint conference of professors has done it, so what if the benefits are monopolized by them?
However, it is not wise to challenge the titan with the rank of professor. Ahn Seung-pil is certainly a madman, he always acts faithfully to his desires. But he also knows that at this time, he has to find a guy who can be a backer and leave a way back for himself.
Of course, even if there is no backer, An Chengbi will take risks, but there is no harm in giving it a try, what if the "mountain" agrees to be relied on by him An Chengbi?
- It's time to call again.
An Chengbi opened the drawer of the desk and opened the secret mezzanine inside the drawer, and a blue button was immediately exposed to the afternoon sunlight shining into the study outside the window.
An Chengbi pressed the button, the ceiling above his head slowly moved away, and a chandelier appeared from the exposed hole, slowly descended in the sound of the machine, and stopped half a meter high from An Chengbi's head.
A light rope hung straight down to An Chengbi's face.
An Chengbi grabbed the lamp rope and pulled it three times regularly.
With the crisp sound of the switch repeatedly closing, the scenery in front of An Chengbi's eyes changed.
He changed from a sitting position to a standing position, standing in a large open space with white walls, floors, and ceilings.
In the center of a pure white field, there is a small coffee table and a white single sofa, which are also white.
On a small coffee table was a fiery red old-fashioned dial-up telephone.
The strong contrast of colors and the excessively empty space make the whole scene full of evil.
The phone rang abruptly—well, just like the previous times.
After An Chengbi arrived in this space, he never had to worry about whose number to dial.
The phone will always ring on its own.
An Chengbi stepped forward, did not sit down on the sofa, and directly picked up the red earpiece.
The moment An Chengbi picked up the receiver, the color of the telephone seemed to have changed somewhat, from red reminiscent of flames to red reminiscent of blood.
"I'm An Chengbi," as someone who has called a few times, An Chengbi knows that he should get straight to the point, and the person on the other end of the phone especially hates nonsense and polite words, "I suspect that the new school has some very fatal flaws, and I want to take action to test it." ”
"What action? Make it clear. "That's the way it is.
"This time," there was an old voice of seventy or eighty years old.
"I want to kill a few more of Marsha's relatives or friends to force that Lord Taidou ......"
"He calls himself Captain Nemo," interrupted Ahn Chengbi, "you can continue." ”
“…… Well, I'm trying to force that Captain Nemo to show more of their school's skills. In this way, even if it turns out that there are no flaws in this school, we can gather information about their skills and find strategies to deal with them.
"Of course, if this school is fatally flawed, we should be able to reap a handsome reward from them if we master it."
There was silence for a second, then responded, "Got it." ”
Then a busy tone came from the earpiece.
An Chengbi put down the phone, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Come on, Lord Taidou, Captain Nemo, I want to see which one I kill before you meddle in this matter." An Chengbi turned around, and the moment he turned around, everything around him returned to its original state, and he was in his study again.
The difference was that he was now standing, and he was facing his desk, his face facing the opposite direction.
Ahn Seung-pil returned to his place and pressed the blue button again, causing both the chandelier and the lamp rope to retract into the ceiling.
"Assassin, just find someone who is not afraid of forbidden demons. There is just a suitable candidate, and he may be watching the excitement in the Hou Ye's mansion now. ”
An Chengbi picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number directly from memory.
The phone was picked up immediately, and then there was the same voice as ever.
"Yo, long time no see, who's the target?"
"Do you still have multiple targets now?"
"Yes, of course, but you know, I don't have a wholesale discount here, and a head counts as a penny."
An Chengbi smiled slightly and said, "This is easy to say." You're in the Hou Ye's Mansion, right? ”
"Ah, yes, look at the excitement. So the target is the people of the Hou Ye's Mansion? ”
"Yes, I'll see who I kill......"
"You called me, but you don't know who you're going to kill? Are you drawing lots to decide who will die? ”
An Chengbi pursed his lips and withdrew his hand that was about to take the dice - he really planned to decide who to kill according to the number cast.
"That's it, you watch the killing, anyway, put that little marquis Masha at the end."
There was silence for three seconds, and said, "I feel like you want to test where the bottom line of this new master is located." ”
- No, I'm trying to test the abilities of Lord Taidou and his new school.
"It's challenging." The other party's tone was as hearty as ever.
- If this kind of thing happens, I'm going to find someone crazier than me to do it.
An Chengbi thought.
