Chapter 113: The Final Goal (Ask for Subscription!) )
said that he was going to the Blooming Manor, but in fact, Gu Chi took the bell cat to a café.
It stands to reason that imperative statements should not be within the scope of the judgment of lies, but for the sake of insurance, Gu Chi feels that it is better to lie.
Life is not about giving birth to a baby, only once.
Splitting into two lanes will also be more efficient.
After ordering two cups of coffee, Gu Chi looked at the information in his hand.
Contains Ms. Trisley's personal information, along with a photo of her daughter.
According to the criminal file, Ms. Trisli was a painter.
A staunch "anti-treacherous" painter.
Most of her paintings express hatred and abhorrence for the Trick - that's fine in itself, but who doesn't hate the Trick in the City of Trickery?
It's just that not everyone has the guts of her, and people will stay away from anything that has anything to do with trickery.
The paintings could not be sold, and Trisley's originally good family declined as a result, and gradually became poor.
But she still persisted.
Trisley's artistic talent is so high that it can be described as a "genius", and there is often only a line between a genius and a madman, and Trisley interprets this very well.
At the age of 27, her husband died of withering because he accidentally said that he loved her.
This sentence hurts more than any other truth, and it is the most fatal blow to a loving couple.
Since then, Trisley has developed a paranoid and crazy hatred for the trick, and the genius has become a madman, and he has been crazy for forty years.
Neighbors and friends understand and sympathize with Trisley's plight, but they don't dare to get too close to her, and the only thing they can do is to use money to help Trisley and her daughter from starvation.
Until one day, Trislyen will take revenge.
She suddenly found her friends and asked them to speak in the Bloodmist Zone, weep in the Evil Spirit Zone, and speak up in the Withered Zone.
She also used the suggestive paintings as posters and flyers to distribute in the name of promoting freedom.
It was a big deal at the time.
Freedom or not, the act itself is undoubtedly instigating others to die.
Not surprisingly, Trisley was soon arrested on charges of intentional homicide and endangering public safety.
In the detention center, Trisley did not listen to advice, did not repent, and even tried to bewitch the guards, and was finally sentenced to a suspended death, and was later sent to the Bloodmist District Ander Hotel as a test subject for the shadows.
That's pretty much the information on the file, you can see a rough idea, but it's not exhaustive.
That's why Gu Chi brought the bell cat to the café instead of going back to the hotel.
Trisley's daughter, Daisy, works at the café.
As for the side of Sheng Fang Manor, it will be handed over to Dr. Chen and Huang Ya.
Sweet and sweet, Gu Chi is very relieved.
Lingmao supported his head with one hand and stirred the coffee in the cup with the other, looking at Gu Chi like enjoying the scenery.
As a stupid comparison, Lingmao didn't dare to speak casually, and she didn't use other ways to disturb Gu Chi's thinking - she was so quiet and well-behaved, and obedient and sensible, shouldn't it be too much to reward her for looking at Gu Chi more?
Lingmei tried to find some flaws from Gu Chi, but she couldn't find them for a long time, she only saw Gu Chi's advantages and strengths, shortcomings or something, it seemed that only she had ......
A short time later, a middle-aged woman who had gone out to shop returned to the café.
Looking at her age of about forty, wearing heavy makeup, but she still can't hide the haggard and indifferent between her eyebrows, her expression looks smiling, but there is not much look in her eyes, it seems that she is fighting her spirit purely because of professional needs, pretending to be in a good mood.
Gu Chi compared the photo at hand, glanced at the bell cat in a daze, knocked on the table lightly, and walked to the bar.
Ling Mao came back to his senses, his cheeks were slightly red, and he hurriedly shook off the mess in his mind and followed Gu Chi.
"Hello, it's Miss Daisy, right?" Gu Chi asked.
Daisy turned her head and looked at the strange man in front of her, "No. ”
Gu Chi smiled: "Can we talk?" ”
Daisy subconsciously wanted to refuse, she was not in the habit of chatting with strangers, even if they were handsome enough - she didn't think that there was anything she could attract such a man as an old woman.
But when she saw the black bracelet in Gu Chi's hand, Daisy swallowed back her refusal.
There was a sudden ripple in her calm and indifferent eyes, and a faint trace of sadness crossed it. Although she had accepted this fact early on, and even forgot about Trisley's appearance, it was time for Daisy to realize that she was just lying to herself.
How can a daughter forget her mother's looks?
Those scattered fragments of memories were pieced together in her mind, and Daisy seemed to see her mother laughing and coaxing her with a paper windmill when she was a child, and these images were as fresh as yesterday.
Daisy looked away, pursed her lips, blinked her eyes several times, her eyelashes left a shallow black mark on the bags under her eyes, and after a while, she asked, "What do you want to talk about?" ”
"Let's talk about it, except for your mother......" Gu Chi approached Daisy slightly, lowering his head and voice, "It's about trickery." ”
Daisy's pupils shrank and she looked at Gu Chi in disbelief.
Can this man speak out?
Gu Chi: "Let's talk in a different place?" ”
The wilted zone is really not suitable for talking.
Influenced by her mother since she was a child, Daisy is not as afraid of trickery as others, but more hateful, which is consistent with Gu Chi's judgment, Daisy was shocked, but quickly calmed down, she wiped the traces on her face, and said twice: "No." ”
"Go to my house."
It is true that imperative sentences are not affected by trickery.
Daisy took off the work apron she had just changed, asked the store manager for leave, and left the café with Gu Chi.
Daisy's home is at the edge of the border between the Blight Zone and the Evil Spirit Zone, Gu Chi and the others had just passed by here not long ago, but they never thought that the clues were right under their noses.
It's an old and cramped room, with sofas and coffee tables almost crammed together, and the lighting is a little poor, which makes the old floor, which is very clean, look a little dirty.
It's hard to imagine that the once wealthy Trisley mother and daughter would live in such a place, and even if the lights were turned on to illuminate the valuable objects on the cabinets, the contrast would not dispel the sense of despair brought about by poverty, but would make the contrast even more glaring.
Daisy didn't say a word, and after entering the house, she led Gu Chi and Lingcat to the basement.
As soon as he opened the door, Gu Chi smelled a smell of paint.
It is a larger studio than the first floor, surrounded by wooden shelves and oil paintings, which glow dimly under the light bulbs.
Gu Chi noticed that there was a red line on the ground, separating the studio into two areas, half the withered area and the other half the evil spirit area.
Suzuki looked at the paintings on the wall with some amazement, and she found that they were all beautifully painted.
There is a forest lake at night, and the ghost of the forest is reflected in the sparkling lake, and people struggle in the ghost.
There is a bustling city at night, fireworks bloom in the night sky, and the town is on fire, and it looks very lively.
There is also a spiral staircase with a bird's-eye view, with a touch of red in the middle, like a blood splash splashed by a person falling to his death.
Well...... It's a little abstract and a little anti-human, but at least it's something she can understand.
"These are my mother's old paintings, how are they, aren't they dark?" Daisy had already walked to the evil spirit area of the studio, no need to lie, she held two small benches in her hands, put them in front of the paint table, and motioned for Gu Chi to sit.
"Thank you."
Gu Chi replied to her: "The darkness is relative, I can understand Ms. Cui Sili's mood. ”
Bellcat, who was still next to the painting, seemed to be very interested in it, and she turned her head to ask Daisy, "Can I take a closer look at them?" ”
"Yes, feel free." Daisy didn't like the paintings.
Trisley poured more effort into them than she did for this daughter, and if the bracelets brought her memories were good, the paintings were painful, and Daisy wanted to throw them away more than once.
Although she understands that Trisley's change is due to trickery, it is not enough to be a reason for a mother to ignore her daughter, time can dilute many things, but this is the only thing that Daisy still can't let go.
It's just that today she is much more mature than when she was young, and she can see clearly that under this unrelieved feeling is her expectation of Cui Sili's gentle side, which is not all hatred, but also painful love.
Trisley is her mother after all.
Daisy spoke calmly, "How did she die?" ”
"Shadows." Gu Chi replied, he placed the bracelet on the table, "My companion and I found it from the belly of the monster when we were clearing the shadows at the Indel Hotel. ”
Daisy stared at the black bracelet for a while, and pulled the corners of her mouth: "Then she didn't die in vain, but she did something for others." ”
"Did you stop her in the first place?" Gu Chi asked, "Promote freedom." ”
Daisy shook her head, "No, because I know I can't stop her." ”
"She's a madman, and she won't listen to anyone."
"Do you understand how it feels for a little girl to be splashed with oil paint because she was worried that her mother would starve her and make her mother's favorite snack to find her?"
"I haven't bothered her since."
She used the word "bother".
"She only has her husband in her eyes, not my daughter, and at that time, I once thought that she just wanted to kill herself so that she could reunite with my father as soon as possible." Daisy said in a mocking tone, "I thought that when she got old, she wouldn't have the strength to toss anymore, but it turns out that a madman is always a madman." ”
"After she was arrested, I went to the detention center to see her once, and she told me to get out, saying that this world is hopeless, let me earn more money, and choose a better cemetery for myself."
"At that moment, I had a strange feeling of absurdity."
"She's like one of those harsh old women who only scold the street, and I can't believe that this is my mother who used to be gentle and elegant."
Gu Chi was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe she's protecting you." ”
At that time, Trisley had already been sentenced to death, and judging from Daisy's statement, Trisley's "flyer" preaching freedom did not seem to have been distributed to her daughter.
"Perhaps." Daisy only then took her eyes off the bracelet, "There's another reason I didn't stop her. ”
Gu Chi: "Huh? ”
Daisy: "I hope she succeeds." ”
Gu Chi: "Get free?" ”
Daisy: "No, it's revenge. ”
Preaching freedom is just a way to say it, and what Trisley really wants to do is to avenge her dead husband.
It's actually easy to guess.
A man who is mad with hatred has no reason not to take revenge.
Everyone knew that Trisley hated the tricksters, and so did Daisy.
She hated the trick no less than Trisley.
For Trisley, the trick killed her husband.
For Daisy, the trick kills her parents.
It's just reason that tells Daisy that trickery can't be defeated, and Trisley can't succeed, but she still has hope in her heart. She also had no choice.
Daisy couldn't convince Trisley.
I'm already a madman anyway, so what if I'm a little crazier?
If Trisley succeeds, she might be able to find her mother. If she fails, Trisley dies, and it is not a relief to taste it.
If you don't stop it, it's the best support for Trisley.
Daisy is willing to talk to Gu Chi about this, and that's why she is willing to talk about this.
Gu Chi can talk about tricks, maybe he can really help her and her mother take revenge.
Gu Chi faintly caught something: "Do you know the Lord of Afriya? ”
"I heard this name when I was a child, and my father said that she was a very great person, but how great, my father didn't tell me." Daisy said.
"Because he can't tell you, but I can." Gu Chi said, "Avrya's trickster can face the trick head-on, no matter what she does, the trick can't kill her." ”
Daisy was surprised: "Is there really such a powerful person?" ”
Gu Chi nodded: "Since your father knows about Afriya, then your mother should also know, what I'm more curious about is that even such a powerful Afriya can't do anything, why does your mother have the confidence to seek revenge?" ”
"I don't know ...... either"
Actually, you don't need Daisy to know.
When Gu Chi asked this, he already had the answer in his heart.
If "Eliminate the Trick" is a problem, then Trisley has been looking for a way to solve the problem for most of her life, until one day she finds this way, and she suddenly uncharacteristically "takes revenge and preaches freedom".
With a powerful senior like Evreya as a lesson for the former, Trisley still dares to provoke tricks, which shows that she is sure enough of her own ways.
Now that Trisley is dead, it is impossible for Gu Chi to go down to her and ask her how she came up with the solution, and where she got her confidence, it doesn't matter, the important thing is to prove the correctness and feasibility of this method.
There is a very simple logic.
If Everea said that she had a way to solve the trick, Gu Chi would definitely believe it, because Acrya had such strength, but Trisley was different - a person can't even deal with the shadows, how can you believe that she can deal with the tricks?
There are many shadows in the City of Order, and the Black Bracelet is just one of many clues, not necessarily wrong or right, unless the clues of other shadows also point to Trisli, otherwise they must first make sure that Trisli has this ability.
And then there is the most important point.
What exactly is the ultimate goal of this copy?
The former leader of the City of Order, Lord Afria Trickster, has spent her life looking for a way to eliminate the Trick, and now Trisley also wants to destroy the Trick, which seems likely to be the player's task, but the problem is that it doesn't have a clear hint?
"Gu Yuan, look at me."
At this time, the bell cat suddenly shouted.
In the studio, the oil paintings that were originally placed on the wall were put together by the girl.
The first three paintings she saw were among them.
The ghost of the lake is on the left, the shade of the trees on the right side of the painting is like a stout "bow", and on the side is a spiral staircase from a bird's eye view, and the bell cat himself holds an oil painting of the burning town above, and the roaring flame is exactly in the shape of a "".
The three oil paintings spell out an exaggerated word for "trick".
And there are more than three oil paintings put together by the bell cat.
From left to right, a total of ten oil paintings, crooked and distorted into four big characters-
"Killing the Trick"
At the same time, a prompt popped up.
