Chapter 18: The Joker's Hint
Mori Mitsu sat on the bed and calmed down, "In terms of time comparison, the video should have been recorded within this hour. The person who recorded the video is likely to be the clown, who hid in the shadows to record the entire video, and then handed me the recorded film tape? ”
In other words, all the steps in the whole farce fit together seamlessly, and almost no time was wasted. It takes at least an hour to send it from the chess venue to the Wayne family manor, and the manpower and material resources required are not a small number. ”
But even security guards and police officers can be bribed by clowns, and he must have that resource.
"I have to calm down, anger is not my weapon, it's just my weakness." Mori Guang crossed his legs and knees, and his hands make a fearless wisdom seal gesture, which is a special method in the idea of the heart and sword, which can help people calm their minds and break down demonic barriers.
Mori Mitsu uses the [Heart Sword] ability, and his thinking speed increases.
I have to put myself in the other person's shoes so that I can catch him. ’
Think about the purpose of the clown. ’
'The Joker is a madman who has a poor family and a bad life, and he sins and kills in order to prove that anyone can become a monster in the face of poverty and bad luck. Someone else sins for money, he sinns for fun. ’
The Joker's goal in contacting Batman was to make the so-called game less boring. ’
'So what did he do with me...... It should be this too. ’
Morimitsu opened his eyes, and if he was to be inferred, he blurted out in slight astonishment. "What is this guy giving me the video for? yes, he must have been telling me some kind of hint. ”
"The clown is the person who makes the question of this game, and the person who solves the problem must get some of the necessary information."
At least in the eyes of the clown, that's how it works.
Mori Mitsu recalled the video just now, and all of the clown's words were vivid.
An abrupt word flashed through his mind like a beacon in the night. Bess!
Why did the Joker put [Beth] with [Ryan. What about the Knicks] put together?
Mori Mitsu unlocks the Fearless Wisdom Seal, and the [Heart Sword] ability works slowly. "Why does the clown think that the death of a woman who has spoken to me within ten sentences will make my heart ache? Remorseful? Every time this guy sees me, his mouth is like he has eaten gunpowder, and he is choking on words, and he doesn't like to laugh enough, why does he think that this guy's friendship with me can be compared to my relationship with Mr. Nix. ”
"Removing all distractions is one possibility."
"Beth was the Joker's hint to me."
"He deliberately mentioned Beth in a passage where Beth's name shouldn't have been mentioned at all, so that I could notice that there was something wrong with Beth."
Morimitsu frowned, "For the Joker, the game in a stalemate is boring and boring. ”
"Beth......"
In the afternoon, Beth gave herself a note with her cell phone number.
Morimitsu flipped out the note, and the handwriting on the note was beautiful.
He sighed, but still got through the phone, after all, he was not the kind of person who could watch others die and be indifferent. The phone rang twice and was connected, Beth on the other end of the line seemed tired, and her voice was weaker than during the day.
"Is there anything you can do?"
"Oh. I'm Eton~"
"yes, I know." Beth was dissatisfied. "So, do you have something to do? I'm a little busy right now. ”
"Uh~ I want to ask, can I go to your house? Haha, there's something I want to talk to you about. ”
"I can't."
Refuse well and simply.
Morimitsu's face twitched, and he pursed his lips with an embarrassed expression.
Don't give me any face.
"Little master, my family lives in the most chaotic and poor street in the East District, and if you are going to come at half past seven in the evening, then I can't guarantee your safety to your father. Eton, this is not the place for people like you. ”
Mori Guang has a black line on the top of his head, whatever.
I've only been out of poverty for a few days, why am I from a different class than you?
Don't say that I seem to be the son of a big capital, I don't know the suffering of the world.
He thought that Beth might not be able to let herself into her house, so he changed his tune. "Then you should take a trip to Wayne Manor. I prepare black tea made with fresh lemon for you, as well as tea leaves from Huaxia. ”
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, didn't you say that if I need to improve my chess skills, I can come to you? Well, I'll admit, I need you to help me improve my game. ”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, as if in consideration.
"Okay, I'll come right over."
"Do you want me to send a location?"
"No, I don't." Before Beth hung up, she said coldly: "Wayne Manor is easy to find. ”
Morimitsu glanced at the hung up phone, his brows furrowed.
There's definitely something wrong with Beth.
I just don't know if it's the person who has the problem, or if there's something in her.
I am more inclined to the latter.
A girl can't beat a clown.
Beth is a rising star in the chess world, and in the eyes of avid fans, she is destined to be recorded in chess history, and her future is infinitely bright, and there is no reason to collude with the Joker.
Mori Mitsu went downstairs to find Alfred.
At that time, Alfred was in the kitchen dispatching the maids to clean the dishes.
"Alfred, please help me prepare a cup of lemon tea and a cup of latte." Morimitsu whispered, "I invited a guest over tonight, and that is Beth." So you don't have to help me find a chess player. ”
Morimitsu casually picked up the small cherry in the kitchen and clicked it.
The maid sweated, how can you go and eat wherever you go, little master?
Alfred nodded, his eyes strange. As soon as Mori was gone, he immediately connected to Bruce. Wayne's call to Bruce. Wayne reports that Moriko invites Beth into Wayne Manor.
Alfred lamented on the phone, "At this age, isn't it a little bad for him to invite a girl into the house in the middle of the night?" ”
Bruce. Wayne, "......"
"I guess Eaton is just trying to beat Beth. The boy was even more competitive than Damian, but how could he possibly beat Beth. ”
……
Beth soon arrives at Wayne Manor.
After a security check, Beth enters Wayne Manor. The maids cleared the chessboard for them in the hall, and brought some fruit, tea and coffee.
Beth lifted her short hair and sighed from the bottom of her heart, it's good to be rich.
Morimitsu looked curiously at her placing a European-style alarm clock on the table, and wondered, "Why do you always have to carry an alarm clock with you?" ”
"To limit the time." Beth replied casually, "Your biggest problem is that you don't take chess seriously enough. Eaton, if you don't love this thing, you can't do it well. Eaton, you see that chess is like fighting, and the chessboard is like a battlefield. Imagine all the pieces coming to life and being ordered by you to destroy the enemy. ”
"Isn't that interesting enough?"
Beth made another classic start, abandoning the rear wing.
Mori Mitsu tried to influence her with the magic of the [Heart Sword], but found that he couldn't find any handle for this guy. She is like a perfect temper, the empress does not need weakness, does not need fear.
Affected by the backlash of the [Heart Sword], Mori Guang sweated on the top of his head, and the pressure was huge.
'Congratulations on Sword Mastery +2......'
'Congratulations on Sword Mastery +3......'
Under this tremendous pressure, Mori Guang found that his heart sword proficiency had risen very quickly.
The click of the hour and minute hands of the alarm clock on the desktop is particularly harsh.
