8. Persuasion
81_81228 "Nia!"
Hurrying mixed with the sound of excitement, so that Claire, who was pulling Fei, couldn't wait to kick open the closed door.
As before, Nia still sat there decadently and spinning her goblet like a middle-aged uncle who had just fallen out of love. Of course, it was certainly not the "tomato juice" she was talking about, but the real blood.
"Great, you're exactly what I thought. ā
"In your eyes, am I such a decadent person?"
The light piercing in from outside made Nia subconsciously sit up, "Claire, although I have āµ it before,āI still can't help but sigh...... You guy, you really got caught up in the fire because of your meddling. Can you tell us who the killer is?"
"I ......"
Fei stepped forward, "Nia, we're not vampires, we're just sick 'humans', do you understand?"
"I don't understand, but to be honest, it's not bad right now. This kind of taste for blood produced by the body is comparable to a luxurious meal. ā
As Claire thought, Nia showed a resistant attitude, and if she didn't really know the inside story, I'm afraid everyone would think that she was just a wall grass that climbed to her thighs after becoming a vampire.
But...... Sometimes the best way to hide your purpose is the so-called 'dark in the light' tactic.
"You ...... Do you know what the consequences will be if you openly rebel against the king, and if she moves a finger, you will die?"
"Nia, you idiot! do you know...... Hmmmm...... Huh?"
Claire was just about to say something to dissuade her, and she was about to say something about Nia's cousin immediately, but she was gagged by Fei. And after this. Fei also continued to contradict Nia in a very strange tone.
Of course. It's the conflict with Nia that continues on the top.ć The hand is not a responsive action.
Because while Nia kept indicating her identity and position, her hands wrote completely different words on the paper.
The reasons for this...... I see!
When Nia threw out a very arrogant sentence and haughtily closed her eyes and ignored Claire and Fye, Claire hurriedly looked at the note.
[My hints are peculiar, and the 'king' can most likely know where my eyes are and what my ears are hearing. Find a way to let the light in. Claire dodged. ć
Let the light come in...... There were black curtains all around, and there were three vampires in this room, if they didn't care to open the curtains. It's sure to look abrupt.
In that case, let's match the current atmosphere a little. Since everyone is a detective, there is no need to make eye contact.
"Ni......
"I'm sorry two. ā
Nia stood up, and at the same time picked up the umbrella next to the table, "I think you know enough, give you a chance, Frey won't be long before she even blatantly violates the princess's orders, so, the vampire who can really sign up." I guess it's just me. You guys...... Do you want to survive too? Or do you ...... Just die right here?"
...... This viper girl, why does she steal the limelight even when she acts!
"What a joke! You've got your brain in the water, working with vampires or something. It's worth getting you to the dean and letting her study your brain, stuffed with plain water. ā
"Well, it doesn't matter, anyway, there are hints, and you will all be obedient. ā
The sharp blade in the handle of the umbrella made a sharp edge, and Nia, even if she was acting, looked so realistic. Although Claire doesn't know if she's really acting, or if she's holding a win-win goal.
failed, she really honestly took refuge in the vampire, and if she succeeded, she just withdrew and gained fame and fortune.
Is...... Cunning guys.
"Claire!
As she spoke, she threw her wrapped coat at Nia, this time the battle was not to divide the superiority, but to try to break the curtain that blocked the sun. I don't know what this does, but let's do it the same way.
"Of course I do. ā
Taking advantage of Nia's deliberate robe to obscure her vision, Claire rushed to the window. The bright light that came in made her let go of her hand like an electric shock.
Sure enough, since the beginning of the second-level dependents, the resistance to sunlight has been greatly reduced?
"Uh......h It's really, glaringly. ā
To Claire's surprise, Nia didn't make any extra moves after that, but stood in direct sunlight in pain as if she wanted to bathe her body in the sun.
"Anyway, it's almost now, I've been really yĆ n for a long time, and if I stand in the sun, the effect of the hint will be temporarily invalidated. To cut a long story short, I was really uncomfortable. ā
ā...... No problem, Nia, we have a way to catch the 'king' directly, and I hope you can help us...... No, you are the only one who can help us most directly. ā
ā...... I have a secret. I'm sorry. ā
Nyoya was trembling in the sun, "And I'm not the kind of person you think you are, who is deeply trusted. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any hints in me. ā
"If you're talking about your cousin, don't worry, as long as it's done perfectly enough, she won't threaten her with hostages. In addition, your situation of being half-believed and needing to rely on hints is what really benefits us. Please, Nia, this is not just me, but also the princess and Frey's request, the plague can't drag on like this any longer. ā
ā...... Go ahead. ā
It worked!
"Filipino...... Hurry up and be under suspicion yet. ā
"Understood. ā
After taking a deep breath, Fei also stepped into the sunlight where Nia was.
The situation was even better than expected, and it seemed that Nia was not always decadent, at least what she said, hinting that it would not work in the sun had greatly increased the success rate of the plan.
The method of suggestion is already known, and this "hint" seems to be very useful. Just in time for planning. Nia is in a state of half-belief by the "king". Most of the "kings" choose the criteria of whether to believe or not. That's what she's seeing. And the hint on Fei's body is not clear, in order to remove this last obstacle, the only person who can be asked is Nia.
If the guess is right, the hint on Fei is similar to obeying orders after receiving orders. If the hypothesis is true, it would be fine if Nia added a hint to her that she should never obey this "need to obey" order.
The only place to gamble. It is that after adding a new hint, the "king" will not be directly perceived. But there is no more to do at the moment.
"King", wait, these people in your eyes will surely pull you down from the throne!
......
On the other side, under the leadership of Lucifer, Anne also managed to meet Mia.
She is still so similar to Lilith, but there is a fundamental difference, a difference that will not let herself be mistaken at all.
Lilith's current condition. It's more about trying to escape from yourself. Mia, on the other hand, is using herself. Maybe she was aware of it. The hostility he showed towards her.
There was a lot less of the ...... around her that she once had. Chessman. Lucifer was left, and the two monsters, one black and one white, doing poetry recitals in the distance. A white-haired demon is closing his eyes in contemplation. This may be all her current strength.
Now it seems that it is still difficult for Asmar to seize the opportunity alone. It seems that she needs to find a way to weaken her strength in this plague.
ā...... Princess, IMHO. ā
After listening to Annie's action to eradicate the plague and find out Verard, Mia still chose to refuse, "At present, it seems that it is a good way to completely kill all the vampires, of course, it is feasible for you to choose to study the antidote." But catch the culprit directly...... That's a bit unrealistic. You...... It's probably not clear who Villad is, she's not a vampire we can deal with casually. ā
"Isn't it okay to gather all your strength?"
ā...... I don't know, but if it's a head-to-head matchup, I think it's ...... I'm afraid not. And ......"
Mia closed her eyes, "I don't think she'll act alone either. ā
"No, I might be able to create the conditions for going it alone. ā
After a slightly vague mention of the handy use of "hints", Anne, who looked at Mia again, finally noticed the change in her.
Seem...... She became a little more interested.
"If it's pre-arranged...... Will there be a chance?"
"This ...... Please give me some time to think about it. If I could have put her in a disadvantageous situation from the beginning, maybe it would have been possible with all my strength. But you need at least help, princess, because the power of Ashmudeus is the most restrained of Verard. ā
"It's natural, so please ......"
"Mia!
Samael, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly pushed Mia away, and in an instant, the chair Mia had just sat in had split in half.
The woman in black, with a somewhat unwilling smile, immediately chose to raise her sword and flee after failing to hit it.
"It's you!
Samael naturally did not let go of this opportunity to meet an "old acquaintance", and immediately took out his weapon after Lucifer blocked the door.
But with a few fights, Samael gradually noticed a game, and the opponent in front of him always felt very familiar. Despicable feints, coupled with previous sneak attacks...... Isn't that what it is......
"Mammon!?"
ā......ā
As if to confirm Samael's question, Mammun's originally empty hand immediately grabbed a battle axe out of thin air, and knocked Samael to the side with a powerful impact. That's exactly how she's always fought, relying on powerful weapons to decide the victory.
"Mamon, aren't you already ......?"
"I don't want to see your face, Lucifer! ā
Undisguised anger was quickly replaced by a sly smile, and while Lucifer was stunned, Mammon chose the usual method and fled through the window.
She has absolute confidence in speed, relying on the treasure, neither Samael nor Lucifer can catch up with her. But this time, what was waiting for her outside the window was not the blue sky, but a slash with murderous intent.
Blood-colored robes, coiled blonde hair, and fearless gaze. The guy I overheard before was called Nero. Why is she here!?
"Ha, I'm really lucky today!"
After a brief moment of surprise, Nero chose to block Mamon's path, "Looks like we have to change our schedule for today." I don't fight with nobodies, I report my name!"
"I don't want to report it, and I don't want to fight you. ā
In a head-to-head duel, intuition has told Mamun that he can't fight the other side. Fighting the opponent in front of you is not something that you should do if you are suitable for acting in the shadows.
But...... I'm just obeying orders to eavesdrop, is this guy looking for the wrong target for revenge?
If they don't leave, it will be even more troublesome for Samael and the others to come!
"Get out of the way!"
The edge slashed, but the opponent relied on brute force to directly take the attack.
ā...... Who are you!Why do you have this spear!?"
Nero stared at the reddish spear, a pattern that only one weapon matched in her memory.
Longinus, why is it in the hands of this man. And that's not all, it seems that what she used before was Uriel's sword!
However, things seem to have gone wrong, and the objects that need to be monitored seem to have run out. Could it be that this guy has the same purpose as himself?
Damn it...... Obviously, as the king of a country, why do you have to be trained by a woman who can only talk?
......
"Aha, Mammon's stupid man, he's surrounded. On the roof in the distance, a little girl with a heart-shaped backpack giggled, "She can't run away now." ā
"Hey, so even if it's a divine weapon, the person who uses it can't do it, it's still not good. ā
The man leaning against the corner seemed to be pretending to be cool, but no one noticed his self-righteous handsome posture.
"It's just blocked, what Mammon lacks is the ability to respond to emergencies. ā
Compared to the one that didn't seem very reliable, their leader finally spoke, "Her opponent is Nero, I have met her several times, and she is a difficult opponent to deal with. In this way, Mamun is in danger...... Give her a hand with your flimpy arrows. ā
(Hidden characters need to start digging.) But I won't be involved in the near future. (To be continued......).
