Volume 3 Spartacus Chapter 45 Doubts
Watching Kress fall to the ground with a serious injury, those present were almost completely unconfident. The oddity of this competitive match was more than anyone expected.
At first, Batitas's attitude should be very eager for Jin Zhan to pass the match and become a true gladiator, but Kress's performance in the first half was too targeted.
First of all, the first question, why is Kress still so targeted despite Batitas's obvious request for escort?
The second question, when did Jin Zhan have such powerful combat power? You can hold on to a stormy attack for so long, and you can finally find the right time to strike at the right time.
The third question is, what is the reason for the visible decline in form and the change in fighting style in the final stage of Kress?
Many doubts were mixed together, and everyone was confused. Batitas even forgot to announce the results of the match. It was Ludia who reacted the fastest, and quickly asked people to carry Cress down to heal her injuries.
In fact, Jin Zhan himself couldn't understand why there were so many changes.
At first, Kress really wanted to work against himself, and seemed to have studied himself quite a bit. If someone instructed it, it was most likely the hostess Ludia.
But Jin Zhan didn't understand why Ludia would seriously injure herself or die in such a senseless place. She couldn't have been completely out of consideration for Batitas's interests.
If it is said that Kress himself wants to kill Jin Zhan, it makes a little sense, but what is the motive? At most, he saw that he was unhappy and wanted to teach himself a lesson. But he will definitely not fight with himself when his form has obviously declined.
In addition, Kress's apparent dip in form in the final stages was even more bizarre. It seems that someone is secretly trying to interfere and drug him, so this person's motive is likely to be to win the game.
In other words, in this small game, there are two people with diametrically opposite goals who have done something to Kress.
This sudden turn of events was so sudden that no one was prepared. Batitas was the first to regain his composure, reluctantly declaring Kim Zhan's victory and announcing the start of the canonization ceremony.
The whole ceremony that followed was done in a state of boredom, and everyone's mind was still on the game and Kress.
At this time, the most relaxed person was Jin Zhan, who was in danger just now.
Spartacus and Vero walked over with concerned expressions and quietly asked Jin Zhan, "What happened just now?" Have you offended Kress in any way? ”
Jin Zhan quickly shook his head and said, "I almost didn't say anything to Kress, so why should I offend him." ”
"Also," thought Spartacus, "though Kress is arrogant and arrogant. But in fact, he is not a bully and immoral person. But he did kill today, think about it, you may have offended someone else? ”
Jin Zhanhe made out the considerations he had just made.
Spartacus and Vero thought for a while, and both felt that Jin Zhan's guess was unlikely, and analyzed: "Even if the hostess has special feelings for Kress that surpass the master and servant, this makes it completely untenable for the hostess to want to kill Jin Zhan with this." What's more, how could such a proud person as Cress be at the mercy of the hostess. ”
Vero also added: "As for the person who drugged it, it can't be Batitas. Because as the head of the family, if he still wants to control his slaves by drugging them, it will be too much of a failure. It also does not fit his extremely face-loving personality. ”
Jin Zhan brought up another person - Azul. Because in addition to the previous few people, Asur has had relatively more contact and communication with Jin Zhan. By the way, he briefly recounted the matter of the underground arena to the two of them.
For this object of suspicion, Spartacus and Vero both thought carefully for a moment, and Vero was the first to speak: "When you talk about Asur, I think it's a little possible. Because he is the best at these sideways and unsightly methods. ”
"The master kept him by his side precisely because he was good at such dirty things. Otherwise, with his lame leg and his fighting skills, he would have died a long time ago, I don't know how many times. ”
Spartacus acquiesced to Vero's statement, adding, "Is it possible that you offended him while you were in the Underground Arena?" I know him as a person, he's a gambler. We often open bets on matches between us, and when you go underground in the arena, you have a good chance of causing him to lose money. ”
After Jin Zhan heard this, he suddenly felt that there was something possible. I thought of my first game suddenly being unexpected, and my gambling money was withdrawn, and then the second game was postponed.
The twists and turns in the middle are likely to affect Azul's betting choice, no wonder Azul suddenly became very cold to Jin Zhan on the way back.
Well, that's a relatively reasonable explanation. So what does Azul have to do with Kress? Will he be able to get Kress to do his bidding? Jin Zhan asked again.
Vero immediately denied: "As far as the relationship between the two of them is concerned, it is polite not to say that they are enemies." You see that Azul's lame leg was broken by Kress, how could Kress still obey him. On the contrary, you say that Azul is the one who drugged Kress, and I think it is more likely. ”
Spartacus also felt more and more chaotic at this time. All kinds of clues are combined, and there are many contradictions, which cannot be straightened out at all.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I agree with Vero, could it be that Azul has a grudge against both you and Kress. And in this game, he wants you to get to the point of losing both, so he drugged Kress and let him drop to a level that is less than yours, so that you can fight to the death as hard as you can? ”
In response to this statement, Vero raised his own question: "With Azul's current status as one of the owner's dogs, does he have the courage to do things that cause the owner to lose a lot?" ”
Jin Zhan immediately agreed: "Asur's performance before and after the underground arena has always been obedient and cautious to Batitas, and he really doesn't look like such a bold person. ”
"After all, once he is caught, he can't afford to be able to drug an ace gladiator. Judging by the shrewdness and cunning he showed, he shouldn't have taken such a risk. ”
The three of them discussed for a long time, and there was no reasonable speculation. The other gladiators and members of the Battitas family were already talking and suspicious.
