Chapter 8: Inferences
On the street, Chang Yufeng walked slowly again, he looked at the passers-by who were hurrying by, as long as he was not stupid, he knew that something big had happened, and this kind of big thing was nothing more than two kinds, and there were many people who avoided getting involved, so he was just one of them.
There are so many people who have experienced strong winds and waves, and only those who grasp the direction in the wind and waves can withstand the impact of the wind and waves.
Therefore, his calmness is more externalized, and his sharp eyes are aimed at others, as if they have been subjected to judgment, and the more people watch, the more he discovers that the soldiers here are walking on the street in a regular manner.
Wenti County has been known as the east, west, north and south gates since ancient times, and Mousse Village is in the east of Wenti County, so the direction that Chang Yufeng just came over is the east gate, and a large part of these soldiers should have been stationed at the east gate, but now a large part of the soldiers patrolling the street are walking in other directions from the east gate.
There is a possibility that the situation is even worse for the other doors.
He met Haturin's crow at the east gate, and the two members of Haturin who were with the crow were probably also fighting them. Therefore, in terms of troops, the guidance team of the Flying Eagles may have fallen into the information trap and left the mountain, and Captain Kaft was still announcing something in the guide hall at this time, and he controlled the personnel in the guide hall to a large extent, that is, it was obvious that Kaft should have received a signal that there were some suspicious people in the guide hall.
After such an analysis, Haturin's calculation can be said to be very rational.
They used the standard way of thinking that the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, and they are very good at confusing the tiger from the mountain and the information, and in the Wenti County Internal Affairs Office, which is mainly understaffed, the most important link that can be thoroughly investigated at the first time, the guide hall surrounded by the elite of the Flying Eagles guarded by Kraft.
If the Wenti County Internal Affairs Office had been well staffed and had a large number of experts like Kaft, Haturin's strategy of confusion would not have worked, as the Ministry of Internal Affairs would have been able to adequately dispatch personnel to each of the confusion points for inspection.
Well, in the final analysis, knowing that the place where Kaft is located may be the most dangerous place, then the most important thing for a child like himself who is not capable is to stay away from these soldiers and where Kaft is going.
Chang Yu Feng would not believe that the Dragon Whisker Guild sent Kraft to a place where there was no key information, because the importance of this matter was extraordinary, the matter was extremely serious, and the Dragon Whisker sent the most powerful guard force to a place where there was no most important clue, it was simply unimaginable, to some extent, it can also be said that if such a thing was really done, this step was wrong, but it was a big mistake, and the entire people of Wenti County would suffer, including Dragon Whisker and Kraft himself.
Therefore, when all parties had their own arguments and convinced themselves, Nagawa Kaede began to slowly avoid those soldiers, trying to walk in the opposite direction of the guide hall, away from the most likely danger of Kaft.
In terms of the logic of reverse deduction, Chang Yu Feng prefers to believe that there is no so-called anti-transformation interference in this speculation, that is, the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place.
He believes that staying away from the most dangerous places is the most effective decision when he is not being targeted by others.
Actually, it would be nice to be able to hide. It's also the only safest way. He walked slowly, confirming the direction in which the soldiers were going, at least on the road, east, west, north and south, the personnel assigned by the four gates of Wenti County were different.
He kept an eye out for the crossroads in Wenti County, where the South Gate of the West Gate had significantly more troops than the East Gate and the North Gate in the seemingly patrolling procession. And in the number of patrols, the same is true in the frequency.
He knew that at the east gate, Haturin's personnel had carried out a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, disguised themselves at the east gate or planned other things, so the direction of the north gate of Wenti County might be the place where Haturin released the least confusing information, and it could also be considered that Haturin's purpose was not focused on the north gate, or that the north gate did not have the target that Haturin wanted to obtain.
In this way, it fell into the logical thinking of backward deduction, if the Dragon Whisker Gong was smart enough, then the Wenti County Internal Affairs Office was likely to appropriately send [soldiers who disappeared into the dark] at the north gate and east gate to investigate, and there was a strong gap between the strength of the north gate and the east gate at this time.
Therefore, when the internal affairs office of Wenti County also released confusing information to varying degrees, there was a greater danger in the east, west, north and south gates of Wenti County.
After all, for now, the Flying Eagles and ordinary soldiers in Wenti County all looked like they were in danger. Because once they do fight the Infected One, then their enemies are likely to become Infected and their teammates.
In this dilemma, not necessarily the bravest people will not show a trace of timidity.
Demonic energy infection is a kind of madness, which will make people lose their minds and even go crazy when the disease occurs, and as long as they are injured, the "demonic energy" that symbolizes the demonic energy infection will quickly "infect", causing the injured person to fall into [madness] together.
There are no sane people known to be infected with demonic energy.
The current demonic energy infection, in addition to the empire's exorcist profession and the principality's holy light master profession, is only a way to prevent the demonic qi infected from becoming the source of a mad plague.
Chang Yu Feng fell into anxiety, he was trying to think about which of the results between his forward push and reverse push was more reliable, after all, even if he could know that the danger over there was smaller, and the enemy on which side was weaker, he couldn't save the fact that he was a child.
Do you want to snap your fingers and release a small fire that can only burn your eyebrows to fight against the demonic infected?
Although he knew that Lin'er's strength might be able to deal with ordinary demonic qi infected people, that is, ordinary people who were infected monsters, it was quite easy, but now that he was Lin'er's battle burden, if Lin'er had to take care of herself while dealing with the enemy, the odds would definitely be greatly reduced.
It is not a matter of anxiety which city gate to go to, in fact, as long as you leave the guide hall where Kaft is located and the east gate of Wenti County, where Harturin is located, the degree of danger obtained is the same for an unarmed person, because the same thing is death.
And for now, it is also feasible for Chang Yu Feng to consider the demonic energy infected and the shadow hunter together, avoid contact with the crowd, and this matter may be more complicated than imagined, so he means to ensure his own safety first and wait and see, and then decide on the next move.
The market was closed, and his master's friend's hotel was also closed, and he had thought about going to Tom's friend's hotel, but now it was indeed empty.
If you really want to find a place, where are you going?
The streets of Wenti County, from the ancient dragon sculptures to the special buildings on the corners, the intricate stacking of bricks and marbles are skillfully assembled by the architects, this city with a thousand years of history, in a cold place on all sides, and here is a unique ever-spring scenery of the four seasons, where is the safe place for a weak child in the face of crisis?
"What is Brother Yu Feng looking for?"
Lin'er looked at Chang Yu Feng who was looking left and right, she was also very calm, walking around with Chang Yu Feng, as if things were not so serious.
But she has also been in a state of vigilance, for her, knowing that Chang Yu Feng is weak at this time, she instinctively takes care of Chang Yu Feng's feelings as a boy, but she also knows that she must take care of this weak boy at a critical time.
She could tell that Nagasu Kaede was actively looking for a solution, and the choice she made was to ask, because the boy didn't tell her what he thought, but it didn't affect what she was doing, did it? It's always been that way.
Seeing that Chang Yu Feng was anxious, she also wanted to share it.
"It would be nice if we could overlook the whole of Wenti County, then I would have a more intuitive grasp of the situation and be able to make judgments with reason." Nagase pointed his thumb next to his temple, his index finger on his forehead, and his deep thought made his eyes narrow.
At this time, he was like a stormtrooper who broke the game, and when he thought about it more, he was still not sure if there was a foolproof way to reassure him.
"If that's the case, I can fly to the sky with you in my arms......" After Lin'er finished speaking, the Vientiane hand behind her was touched, and they wanted to grab Chang Yu Feng's shoulders so that he could be high in the air, but they were stopped by Chang Yu Feng.
He used his hand to dissuade Lin'er from doing this, while looking around, the tall houses here are only three floors at most, although they are tall for children, but for tall buildings, this is indeed short.
"It's easy to be regarded as suspicious in this way, even if you stand on the roof of the building and watch the view, it won't change much, and it's likely that the gains outweigh the losses, I do want to find a place to watch the overall situation, but for now, we still need to stand in the middle, don't cause trouble to the soldiers defending the city, and don't let the monsters approach. This is the best-case scenario for us. ”
Chang Yu Feng was disappointed that he didn't see a high enough place, his vision was limited, and to a large extent, he could only fight with the air.
"Are we here now, then? We're at a crossroads right now, and there could be a lot of people coming and going. Aren't you afraid that monsters will pass by here? Lin'er asked Chang Yufeng rhetorically, but Chang Yufeng smiled and said something to her, which made her laugh too.
"Will the monsters obey the traffic rules?"
The two looked at each other, and in this little humor, both of them showed a smile of fascination.
That's right...... Now the premise of my guess is the forward and backward deduction derived from normal logic, but the monsters are antilogical, they only attack people in a crazy way, and do not think.
In a sense, it is my own subjective assumption that monsters will appear first in crowded places. Where the monster appeared first, it should appear directly where the living person he saw at first sight appeared, just need to follow this direction and line of thought, then the culprit - the place where the monster appeared first, and the area where the living person was attacked indiscriminately is the most dangerous place.
It is absolutely impossible to be the guide hall there, and it is absolutely impossible to be the various city gates where it was originally located, Chang Yufeng immediately glanced at his pocket watch, eleven twenty. It's been an hour or two since the lockdown, and for such a long time, all the predictions could fall through.
"Walk to the guide hall......" Chang Yufeng pulled Lin'er and trotted up.
Kaft should be investigating something else, and the place he was just now was the Guide Hall, and if there wasn't any danger there before the lockdown, there wouldn't be any danger now.
"Hmm......" Lin'er looked at the soldiers around her, from their bodies, she could still feel the panic in people's hearts, it may not be so serious in passers-by, the soldiers may know that they are about to face the timidity of normal people who are about to face the smile.
Chang Yufeng was also looking at the eyes of the soldiers along the way, everything about them was actually a little unusual, of course, if you want to say that they lack training, it's not normal, in the face of monsters with a very high lethality rate, it's not normal not to be afraid.
They are on the front line, and they are also at the forefront at critical moments, and their respect for them arises spontaneously, but for now, their position should be the one who is protected, so it is the most correct decision not to trouble them.
And in the guide hall, something did happen.
This was actually beyond Chang Yu Feng's expectations, as soon as they left the guide hall, Kaft sat in the guide hall solemnly, and all the chamber of commerce presidents quickly quieted down.
Kaft didn't say anything, and watched as the people in the guide hall entered and compared information one after another in front of the soldiers.
He stood majestically, so that the people here were silent, and they only looked at him a few times, and even if they were dissatisfied, they would not say anything.
Of course, Kaft didn't come here in a daze, he stared at everyone one by one, from the small Goblin Chamber of Commerce to the large Human Chamber of Commerce, their presidents were clearly in Kraft's eyes, and his every move could not escape Kraft's inspection.
Kaft was touching his chin and walking past them, over and over again, to the awe of everyone.
He didn't say a word about Kaft, probably because he wanted to wait for everyone to register before he said anything.
The registered people couldn't leave, they were placed next to another line and lined up in order, and when there was only one person left who hadn't finished registering, Kaft looked at the people left in the guide hall under the stairs, and then compared their names with the names of the chamber of commerce.
"Dona." He called out a name.
A short goblin took off his hat and stood up timidly, and made a shoulder salute, his green skin, his short stature, and the green skin folds all over his body, he was very afraid of life, and his eyes were timid.
Kaft glanced at him and called out another name.
"Hollyard."
A sturdy man walked out calmly in a coat with his chamber of commerce logo, he made a shoulder salute, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his short white hair, green eyes, and he looked very confident.
Kaft nodded to him and said the last name.
"Lias."
A dark-haired woman in a long red dress walked out of the line with her pelvis leaning on her side, her red high heels made her whole body elongated a lot, her thighs were slender, her body was plump, she was also full of confidence, only more charming.
"Now, we arrest you as shadow hunters, come with us, the others stay in the city first, these days, it is forbidden to go out of the city, there will be a flying eagle team to protect you, please actively cooperate."
With that, Kaft turned and left, while the Flying Eagles escorted the three of them, only to hear them say that they had been wronged, but not to see Kaft respond.
When he walked out of the guide hall, Chang Yu Feng also arrived, he looked at the three people with different identities who were detained behind Raft, although he didn't know what was happening, but at least, this was definitely the safest place after the lockdown.
The next thing he wants to think about is not to figure out what happened, but how to protect himself.
