Chapter 45: An Incomprehensible Choice
Middle-aged and blessed Anthony. Red was stunned for a moment, and then laughed self-deprecatingly after a moment:
"I was a little emotional, and I didn't even read the truth of this sentence."
"The audience still has to sit in the audience."
Lumien sat down again, smiled and said:
"No, that's not the problem."
"Why did I jump off the barstool, why did I lean into your ear behind your back, so that you wouldn't see my subtle expressions and unconscious body language.
"At that time, your emotions had already begun to stir, so you couldn't decipher the true meaning of my series of actions."
Anthony. Red was silent for a few seconds and said:
"That's one of the reasons, and the other reason is that it's very much in line with your usual style, and I don't know if you've noticed it yourself, but you occasionally look cool, or to use the more popular words these days, to be handsome.
"Just now, I thought that those actions were done by you in that situation and in that situation, in order to show yourself and make your words more persuasive, so I didn't have any doubts."
Lumian laughed:
"It's inevitable that a young person like me will have a desire to be cool and handsome, which in itself can also hide the real purpose very well, no, both are real, so no one else can see through it."
It's like he likes to put one hand in his pocket, hover the fire crow, and walk towards each other while bombing the enemy, firstly because it is really handsome, and secondly, to hold Mr. K's finger in case of accidents.
Anthony. Rhett thought for a moment and nodded, "The superficial purpose is true enough to mislead the 'audience'."
Lumian lifted his right foot up to his left knee and pulled the conversation back on track:
"We haven't tracked down Huge yet. The people and forces behind Artois are because there are more important things to do now, rest assured, after next week, we will really follow up on this matter, and there are corresponding intelligence sources. His plan was for Janena to ask the "Purifier" about Yuge. The follow-up to Artois's affair will see if there is anything that can "help".
As an assassination of Yuge. Artois people, it is completely understandable that Janna is concerned about the progress of the investigation of this matter and wants to find out all the people, and it will not arouse the suspicion of the official extraordinary, and Jane herself has thoughts and tendencies in this regard, and there is no need for Lumian to encourage her, just a reminder.
When the time comes, if the "purifiers" have anything inconvenient to come forward and do something, they can hint at Jane and her friends to do it by revealing information, which will definitely bring useful information to Anthony Ryder's trackdown.
Anthony. Red's dark brown eyes reflected Lumian's figure, and he listened to him quietly. “
The intelligence dealer nodded imperceptibly: "I will stay for a while."
It's easy to communicate with the extraordinary person in the "audience" way, and he doesn't need me to make up another story to find a reason to convince him, he can judge whether what I say is true or false...... Lumian smiled and pointed to the side of the bed, "Sit down."
This way, he doesn't need to reveal Jana's true identity and the fact that she has become a "purifier" informant.
Anthony. Red stood by the door, didn't move, and said to himself, "You've almost guessed what happened to me, is there anything else I need to add?"
"I'd like to hear a more detailed version." Lumien was not polite.
After experiencing the Stingers, the Blessings, the disaster in the village of Cordu, the death of Mr. and Mrs. Ruhr Michels, and the explosion of the Goodville chemical plant, he was so disgusted with the evil gods and their followers that he no longer cared as much as he used to.
Originally, he thought that what others liked to believe in had nothing to do with me, but now he has completely changed this view, believing that dead cult believers are good believers, otherwise it will bring disaster to him and the people around him at some point.
So, he wasn't cheating on Anthony just now. Red, he really plans to track down the matter of Yuguatuatuis in his free time and find out more cult believers.
And this can also please Mr. K and the "Aurora Society".
Of course, a wanted gang leader helps officials crack down on cultists that does sound weird.
Anthony Ryder's expression was a little gloomy and he said:
"At the end of the war with the Kingdom of Rune, my comrades and I were stationed at a major communication route at the northern foot of the Hornachis Mountains. Major Artois.
"We are divided into three companies, each occupying a different position, both to guard against the Extraordinaires of the Kingdom of Rune from climbing the dangerous road and going around our backs, and to fend off attacks from the front.
"That night, I was awakened in my sleep by the sudden sound of gunfire and artillery, and saw my comrades-in-arms turned into corpses one by one by the attack from the rear, and saw their heads shattered, their bodies torn, and the ground covered in large patches of blood......"
Speaking of which, Anthony. Red gasped and seemed to recall the stimulus.
He paused for a few seconds before he said:
"I had some adventures in the middle of that war, and I improved my sequence, and I didn't report it to Hugue. Artois, relying on the corresponding ability, broke through the encirclement with four wounded comrades and evacuated to the rear.
"Two of them were seriously injured and left forever on the retreating mountain road, and I still remember their pained and unwilling eyes.
"I originally thought that one of the other two positions had been breached, or that Rune's airship had taken advantage of the night to drop troops behind our backs, but it turned out later that the reason was Hugue. The company led by Artois himself retreated on its own initiative after a tentative attack without informing us!"
Lumian thought for a moment and said, "Huge. Artois gave the order to retreat, and the soldiers of that company were not the slightest bit confused? They didn't ask to inform their comrades in the other two positions?"
"Huge. Artois was our commander, and he had always been very good at speaking, and he had pretended to have a warrant from General Philip. "Anthony. "At that time, the soldiers of that company thought that he had given orders to the other two positions, and I still don't understand that they were not under the pressure of pursuit. Why should Artois sacrifice us, firing flares will not waste much of his time, and will not bring him any harm. ”
"Maybe I was just too nervous and forgot about it." Lumian didn't give Hugue. Artois, the dead man's justification, simply points to a possibility.
Anthony. Red shook his head:
"He's not a new recruit on the battlefield, he's commanded well in the previous battles, and he's been tested by adversity."
Lumian didn't speculate anymore and looked at Anthony. Rhett continues:
"After discovering the truth of the matter, I and two other comrades-in-arms have been accusing Yuguatuatuis to the military court of the Gendarmerie Department, but to no avail, they only tell us that we cannot replace evidence with conjecture.
"The three of us watched Huge. Artois moved into politics after the end of the war, rising through the ranks.
"My other two comrades-in-arms were already in poor health, and they died one after another in such anger and pain. Artois announced his candidacy for the election of the Congressman of the Market District on behalf of the Enlightened Party, and here I am. ”
Lumian bowed his head slightly, and then asked:
"The intelligence merchant you used to disguise your identity?"
"No, in the past few years, I have been selling intelligence to make a living." Anthony. Red laughed to himself, "Moreover, such an identity is also beneficial for me to investigate Yuge. Artois. ”
"What's the catch?" Lumian asked very naturally.
Anthony. Rhett replied with a gloomy expression:
"Huge. Artois's political experience seems normal, he followed General Philip into politics, was promoted by him, and then won the appreciation of several senior members of the Enlightened Party for his excellent oratorical skills, and at the same time established contacts with several original aristocratic families in specific affairs, and had his own network resources. 46 "Is there anything wrong with General Philip?" Lumian asked bluntly.
Anthony. Red exhaled slowly, "Before I could start investigating the general, he died, claiming it was due to illness."
Lumian asked a few more words and said, "Wait until I get more information, and then communicate with you."
"Okay." Anthony. Red could see his sincerity.
After leaving the Golden Rooster Hotel, Lumian returned to the safe house on White Coat Street, opened the iron cabinet, and moved out the thick spiritual creature materials.
There was a notebook in it, the name of which was "Spiritual Observations", and Lumian only turned two pages before he had an abnormal feeling of swelling and irritability.
His current goal was not to learn about the spirit world, but to find the right spirit creatures, so he closed his notes and focused on the different spirit creatures.
For some reason, after only watching for more than half an hour, Lumian felt overdrained and his head was a little empty, so he had to end early, lie down on the bed, and fall into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Lumian went to apartment 601 at 3 White Coat Street and rang the doorbell.
Franka had already gotten up, changed into her usual shirt and breeches, looked at Lumian and said, "What are you doing so early?"
Lumian glanced at Jana in the living room and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that Jana was going to be promoted to 'instigator' today?" I'll take a look. ”
Franka frowned and muttered, "You care about her."
"Of course." Lumian replied with a bright smile, "She has become an 'instigator' and is qualified to help me deal with Guillaume. Bene, although she can't be counted on in a frontal battle, it's still no problem to do a sneak attack, scout the surrounding environment, and guard against possible accidents. ”
Jana gave a "huh" to show her disdain, and Franka said angrily and amusefully, "Your mouth is like honey."
"The digested kind?" Lumian is self-aware.
