Chapter 62: Reasoning
Edward stayed away from Alsace. The sissy smile made him feel very uncomfortable, the same feeling that Edward had only experienced when facing Sheila.
Shira's terrifying ability to read minds terrifies him in the bottom of his heart, and although Arthas can't read minds, he can always see small things that others can't see.
It is not easy to give him a satisfactory explanation.
It would have been nice to provoke him and then take the opportunity to change the subject, but Edward's plan seemed to have been blown up again.
In the face of Edward's taunts, Arthas remained unmoved.
There is nothing wrong with his surname, as his concubine Hailin can attest......
"Edward, if I'm not mistaken, you've not been sick lately, but you've been in a mess. Out of absolute confidence in himself, Arthas was not afraid to startle the snake and frankly stated his guesses.
"Well, that's really a ...... annoyance" Edward didn't deny this.
"What's the trouble?"
"Hmm...... All in all, it's a lot of trouble. "Edward wouldn't tell him.
"Hehe, that's what I'm saying, when I encounter a demon, anyone will feel a headache. Arthas said with a smile.
"yes, that guy Grull...... Eh, wait, I met the demons?" was tricked but didn't realize it at all, and the words of complaint blurted out, Edward suddenly realized, but it was too late to make up for it, "No, no, no, how could I have met the demons? I, I'm just an ordinary person, the so-called ** annoyance, it's just some private matters." ”
"Private, not demons?"
"Of course! If I had run into the demons, I would have been killed by those monsters. ”
"Oh, it must be your family in trouble, that's why you don't say goodbye. After all, blood is thicker than water. Arthas clapped his hands, as if proud that he had guessed the answer again.
"That's it, I didn't get involved in any trouble, I just went home to visit my relatives. Edward breathed a sigh of relief and chimed in.
"Oh, are you sure?" asked Arthas.
"Of course, I didn't lie to you. ”
"Hehe, Edward, do you know how childish your lies are?" Alsace smiled bitterly, he was about to cry stupidly at Edward.
just dropped a simple bait, but I didn't expect this idiot to take the bait again.
"Huh?" Edward was completely unaware that he was being toyed with by Arthas.
"First of all, Principal Kane just said that you are seriously ill, so you haven't been to the academy recently, but you said that you are going home to visit your relatives, which is strange, isn't it? Why does Principal Kane have to lie?"
"That's because...... Ah, that's it, I got home first, and then I got seriously ill, and thanks to Kane for saving me, otherwise I would have died. How's that going to make sense this time, right?" Edward was clever and stubborn in making the last resistance.
"Oh, I see. Arthas took a deep breath and nodded.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else weird?"
"Well, it's weird. Arthas began his offensive, "You said that you live in a small village on the border, where the demons invaded, and almost the entire village died, and your family was not spared...... Tell me, then, Edward, why are the dead in trouble? Who did you visit when you returned to your hometown? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you really fell ill in your hometown, how could you have time to rush back to Central City, thousands of miles away? And what kind of illness did you have?"
"Ah, that ......" Edward broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't tell if he was bitter.
This guy, why are there so many problems, are you a hundred thousand why?
"Hehe, last question, what's the name of your village?"
It was like an unpretentious straight punch that hit Edward's face and cut off his last chance of life.
"Call ......"
Edward was about to make up a name casually, but was half-choked by Arthas's next words.
"Don't lie, Edward, I have the most detailed map of the God-given land, and every town and village is recorded, from mountains and rivers to hills and slopes, so ......"
"Okay, okay, I lied, can't I lie. I really hate it......" finally couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure, and Edward didn't admit to himself.
That's why he hates this damn sissy - life is already so difficult, why do you have to be ruthless to debunk it?
"Master, you're completely on the losing edge, what a fiasco. "The ridicule of the night always stings Edward's humble self-esteem at the right time.
However, he no longer has such a thing as self-esteem.
"Yes, dear night, comfort me. "Edward is a coquettish.
"Enough, Edward, don't forget that we're still allies. I can't trust your attitude. Arthas grimaced, a little angry, "Don't forget, I still hold Emilia's secrets. There are many people out there who want to know the whereabouts of the brave man, and of course, there are many of them who want her to die. I don't need to say more about that, right?"
“......”
No better than Kane, not better than Angelina, as a pampered young master, Arthas has never seen what the demons look like in his life, so Edward never intended to tell Arthas the truth from the beginning.
There's a reason why he's going to have a showdown with Angelina and Kane.
Angelina is Emilia's best friend and will not betray Emilia, so Edward dares to tell her everything, and Kane has a close relationship with both of them, and he seems to have a lot to do with the previous brave Vilvette, and his words are also trustworthy.
As for Alsace...... If Edward told him that he was the Demon King, and their teacher, Angelina, was the patriarch of the Demon Fox Clan, I wonder how he would react?
I don't think I'll be scared to death. At this point, Edward had no choice......
“...... Well, Alsace. Sighing helplessly, he had to admit his defeat, "You're right, the trouble I encountered is related to the demons...... But how did you guess?"
"Edward, I'm guessing it's not just you who ran into the demons, our dear teacher, Angelina, and Principal Kane, I'm afraid you're all in the same trouble, right?" Arthas smiled with pride.
He was far more intelligent than Edward thought.
"Y-you know?" Edward was dumbfounded.
"No, I don't know. But I'm guessing that the trouble you're having has something to do with the demon fox that appeared in Central City some time ago. Did I guess wrong, Edward?"
"You won ......"
Edward's mood is beyond words.
The ghost believed that Arthas couldn't read minds, otherwise how could he have guessed so much information just by guessing?
This level of speculation has caught up with prophecy.
"Don't look at me with that strange look, I don't like men either. Smiling contentedly, Arthas complained in turn, "It's just the simplest reasoning, it's not that I'm too smart, it's that you're too stupid, and you don't know it yet, it's stupid." ”
"......" Edward was speechless.
He still underestimated this gentleman prince too much.
Alsace has been absent from school for no reason lately, and has been running to the shopping street to eat, drink and have fun. This is a well-known piece of news.
But is that really the case? No, it's just a deliberate play by Arthas, who has been secretly investigating what happened that night.
The mysterious demon fox made a lot of trouble in the shopping street, causing panic in the hearts of the people, and at this juncture, Principal Kane and Angelina disappeared together. Arthas wanted to ask Edward for clarification, but he was also disappointed.
Accidental, coincidental, or for another reason......
Arthas never believed in chance, so he and Dent kept gathering information and finally came to an incredibly terrible conclusion.
Expectedly, and unreasonably, Arthas didn't want to accept this helpless fact......
"Edward, you, actually, ......," Arthas said slowly.
"I ......"
Edward swallowed nervously, his heartbeat was particularly noisy.
Could it be that he had discovered the identity of the Demon King? No matter how smart he was, it would be impossible for him to deduce this level of intelligence.
It can't be counted as reasoning anymore, what's the difference between this and mind reading?
"You're actually an undercover agent, aren't you?" Arthas said, pointing to Edward's nose.
"Huh?"
It is said that an occasional flap of a butterfly in the Everfree Forest can cause a once-in-a-century storm in Central City.
Fate is a very mysterious play, and you never know what kind of fallacious farce awaits you in the next second.
Sometimes, it is not a big hero who tries to save the world with one enemy and a hundred enemies, let alone a group of self-righteous rats who hide in the dark and dare not see people, just a beautiful misunderstanding can open a completely different winter snow story.
It may not be just Edward's adventures, but the world.
