Chapter 16: Speculation
The fresh drizzle wet the flowers and leaves outside the window, and the newly dry ground was wet again in the delicate rain, which was too much on the island, though it was said to be much better than the September storm.
Agnes stood by the window of her study, stretched out a hand, felt the cold rain with her, and silently thought about the day's events.
There was nothing to doubt about the old man's identity, after all, he was unabashed, and even took the initiative to hint at Angnes.
Whether it is the wheel of fortune that opened at the beginning, or the fact that he later said that he was just "a poor old and weak housekeeper who was busy reconciling various contradictions every day", it undoubtedly showed his identity as the administrator of the high-level presbyterian council of the life school and the speaker of the Destiny Council.
The purpose of the other party's visit to him was also very clear, and of course it could be just an excuse - he wanted to verify whether she had anything to do with what the other party had been waiting for, and he had undoubtedly received a negative answer from it. Agnes intuitively felt that she should have some understanding of what the other party had been waiting for, but she couldn't find the relevant information in her existing memory, so what the other party was waiting for should exist in her disappeared memory, and it was likely to involve a higher level.
As a result, the question of why the other party still thinks "it's a good thing" is still a question that needs to be asked, and she doesn't think that a Sequence 1 "Mercury Serpent" would show kindness to others for no reason, despite having an excellent impression of this "Mercury Serpent" in her remaining memories.
Agnes almost irrepressibly remembered the strange attitude of the Mother Earth Church and the Castilian family of the Fenerport royal family towards the Pagani family, situations that are difficult to separate from those encountered today. She didn't think there was no reason for this, unless it had helped them in the past, or something they could get in the future.
Agnes withdrew her hand, picked up the handkerchief that had been set aside to wipe the rain off her hand, and looked at the tarot cards neatly stacked on the desk.
As far back as he can remember, he was being hunted by another "Mercury Serpent", when he appeared to be a boy under the age of ten and had to die shortly after, "restarting" as a doctor's child.
And judging from the state of the other party today, it is obviously a mythical creature of Sequence 1, but it makes itself appear in an old state, and judging from the fact that the other party can appear in the square where people come and go, the other party should be at least in good shape.
But since the state of the old man is revealed, it cannot be meaningless. No matter how good the old man is, he will inevitably enter the grave one day, and for a "mercury snake", the death of his own choice means starting anew.
And the other party will choose to "start over", there must be a reason - either as he remembers, in order to avoid the pursuit of another "mercury snake", or to wash away the madness.
And judging from the fact that the other party will not be very secretive to meet with him, it will be for the latter reason.
Agnes paused as she wiped her hands, and couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.
To be honest, there is no point in her thinking about these now, no matter what reason the other party chooses to release kindness to herself, whether it is out of a good impression in her memory or a good impression because of the kindness released by the other party, what she should do at present should be to accept it calmly.
And now she should be thinking about the hints she got about Stitch-related events and the plot behind it.
When a person succeeds, there are always many people who get some inspiration from that person's success, Agnes plays with the tarot cards in her hand, and recalls the words she got before, who has achieved success? What kind of success has been achieved? And who was inspired by this success? What kind of inspiration did you get? And why is it that only she and the plotters know the key?
If everything else is put aside and only analyzed from this sentence, then she will know that the key must not be unrelated to her, she is either the one who has achieved success or the one who has been inspired, as for what it is, there is no clue in her broken memory for the time being.
There is not enough information about the success and inspiration obtained, but Agnes suspects that Stitch was born out of "inspiration", but there is not enough information to judge where the "inspiration" is.
As for the schemers...... As offensive as it may be, Agnes is currently inclined towards Mother Earth, after all, it is impossible for Stitch to come to Olavi Island because of the mission of the Mother Earth Church.
And the possible purpose of Mother Earth Goddess......
Agnes pressed her forehead in some distress, feeling her analysis at an impasse.
She threw the tarot cards in her hand on the table, looked out the window at the afternoon, which seemed more and more quiet due to the sound of the rain, and sighed slightly.
"Nightingale." Agnes whispered.
The figure of the little nightingale appeared beside Agnes with ripples.
"Help me buy some sets of men's clothes, suitable for both Mr. Chester and Karpass," she whispered, "Mr. Chester is afraid that his clothes will get soaked when it rains." ”
Nightingale nodded, and the figure disappeared into the room.
......
Time seems to pass much faster on the days when nothing happens, even though it's only three days.
Since coming to sea, she has either been collecting news of pirates, leaving land to take a boat to her next destination, or attending various gatherings of extraordinary people, there is nothing extra for these three days, only to find a way to play the living corpse that suits her, and the days of being taught by Mr. Chester in the afternoon have reminded Agnes almost of the weekends or holidays she remembers.
Agnes pulled up the quilt to block the sunlight shining through the gap in the curtains, pretending that she didn't feel the temperature of the sun.
A minute later, there was a knock on the door, and she sighed, rolled over, got out of bed, and opened the door.
"Ella," Outside the door was the figure of Lani, who glanced across the room and raised her eyebrows slightly, she walked in, opened the curtains, and the bright sunlight instantly filled the room.
"I don't think you're going to want to let the last day of the year disappear most of your bed." Lani let her eyes look at Agnes with a hint of amusement.
"No, I'd rather sleep from this year to next if I could." Agnes shrugged.
