Session 6: The Dangerous Road (Part II)
In response to the lack of preparation and chaos that day, Townsend did not criticize and self-criticize at night, but gathered the townspeople surnamed the male surname together to discuss how to deal with it. Because the townspeople are not soldiers after all, it is good to be able to keep up and not fall behind, and it will backfire if Townsend is tough and harsh.
It was said that it was a discussion, but it was undoubtedly Townsend who grasped the direction of the topic, and he first affirmed everyone's efforts, and then set the manpower arrangement for the next day, and even assigned each mercenary a different number of townspeople as assistants.
After everything was in order, Townsend had time to go to the outer circle of the camp and chat with his henchmen.
"How's it going?" said Townsend to the captain as he wiped out the broth in a hurry, "What do you think of opening meat for the first time?"
"Relieve the hatred!" the captain replied sullenly: "Well, sir, you don't know, I counted all the accounts of my brothers on this Jianxi, and I should also count them on him, right?"
"There must be his share in this matter, but his share is relatively small. Townsend explained: "It should be one or several large forces that owe a blood debt, although these forces seem vague and difficult to locate. But remember, forces are made up of people, and everyone in them has to bear the consequences. Just like this internal annihilator, he is not only guilty, but also threatens our safety, so he is more than innocent! What are you going to do in the end?"
"I promised to bury him in exchange for the last word of truth. The captain said, "I knew he was lying to me, so I thought of a way too, and later I found out that he was really lying to me." β
"Oh, how did you do that?" the monkey wondered.
"I crushed him under a big rock. The captain said, "Sir, am I doing the right thing?"
"You dodge unfavorable situations with appropriate techniques and are very imaginative. Of course there is nothing wrong with that. Townsend nodded approvingly: "As an interrogator, you have to be smarter than your interrogator, and you must be more able to play with words - the hardest part is not to convince the other party, but to convince yourself." β
"This skill can be used not only in interrogation, but also in negotiations. To put it simply, confrontation is a competition between two people, as long as they can win. β
Although the captain nodded, his expression seemed to understand or not, and Townsend did not elaborate, this kind of thing is best for him to comprehend.
"By the way, sir," in the brief silence, the monkey suddenly said something, and reached out and took out a flat package wrapped in oiled paper from his breast pocket, "Sir, this is what I received when I rushed to the town to meet the head of the Blue Stamen Chamber of Commerce on the day of Harvey's accident, and the chief steward said that this is a letter sent to you by Miss Wenli from the school." It was a mess and I forgot about it. β
"Show me. Townsend took the package, opened the oiled paper, and found two pamphlets and an envelope inside. The handwriting on the envelope is exactly the handwriting that I am familiar with.
"Mr. Townsend, my friend, good wishes. The beginning of the letterhead was plain and intimate, in keeping with her own style.
"Counting the time, Mr. Townsend must have finished reading the books in the inn, right? The country town, the limited collection of books, and the monotony of life, may not be able to satisfy Mr. Townsend's thirst for knowledge. Coincidentally, I had ordered a batch of books from the bookstore, which would soon be shipped back to Harvey to fill the missing collection at home. If you don't mind, this first library card is for Mr. Townsend......"
Seeing Miss Wenli's signature, Townsend seemed to see her writing in front of the window, but then he felt a tingling because the town of Harvey in her letter no longer existed. I don't know what kind of mood she felt after learning this news? I must have hurt myself a hundred times! I hope she can escape from the clutches of the Glorious Church.
Under the signature, there is still a line of small print.
β...... Occasionally, I got two anonymous notes and gave them to Mr. Townsend, so please refuse. Wen Li. β
Seeing this, Townsend showed a wry smile on his face, where is the turn to get his own resignation from the gift given by Miss Wenli? He casually flipped through the book on it, and at a cursory glance, it was really a note, completely handwritten by a person, the font was scribbled, and the format was also very surnamed, but the overall style was delicate, like a girl's handwriting.
But after reading the first line, Townsend's face suddenly changed, because the message in this line is not simpleβfrom today onwards, I will move forward to a great anomaly. Down with Ingmar! Fat little guys are badasses!
"Ingmar ......?" Townsend muttered to himself, "I seem to be a little impressed." β
In an instant, memories of the name popped out of Townsend's head, and yes, he had seen it several times in the hotel's study, and in those accounts, the name Ingmar usually had a shiny prefix.
- One of the contemporary masters of the Anomalous Master Guild.
At the end of the letter, Miss Wenli wrote freely, but Townsend knew that these two notes that were not too thick must be very precious, and the real reason why she wrote the letter was this thing. But how did Miss Wenli know that she had some supernatural talents? Her vision was so accurate, but no matter how she found out, for Townsend, this note was just right!
The encounter a few days ago had changed Townsend's perception of the ability dramatically. His previous disregard for the Anomalous Ability, and the belief that he could defeat the Anomalist with his talent had been completely shattered! Townsend had seen the power of the Anomaly, so his heart was full of shock and confusion when he faced this power.
It's a flame rising from the sky, it's an all-pervasive power of supernatural power!
He knew that if he wanted revenge, his ability was a hurdle that he couldn't get around, and it was also a power he had to master. But at the same time, he also understands that without information and without a mentor, it is impossible for him to find the right direction and breakthrough point...... He knew that he was different from the other Anomalists, and in order to keep it a secret, he didn't even talk to anyone else about it.
But now it's different, these two notebooks are not the official textbooks of the Wizards' Guild, but for Townshend, they are much more effective than the textbooks! Because it is a Psychic Master's private notes, notes written from the day he was identified as having a supernatural talent and decided to learn the superability, a note about the learning and perception of the superability!
Concise, concise, comprehensive, from the beginning to the very advanced level, what better material to help Townsend?
After silently thanking Miss Wenli, Townsend repackaged the two notebooks and put them away close to him. In fact, he would love to start researching right away, or at least to find out who the owner of the Ability Note is, but the next day's difficult journey cannot be changed - there are priorities, and curiosity and curiosity will of course give way to survival.
In order to recuperate, Townsend could only wash and sleep.
-- Author's note: Everyone, uh, Xiao Ming hasn't learned to use the testimonial system in the background yet, so let's talk like this: First of all, thank you for your support! Actually, Xiao Ming, this time he just thinks of himself as a newcomer, holding a new book to hit the list, and learning everything from scratch (laughs). Actually, it's not a joke, there are a lot of tricks I really don't understand, for example, some words in the previous chapter were screened, and I still can't figure it out...... But don't worry, I'll change it tomorrow night.
