The person in front of him, Arthur had seen.

When Malinda first invited him to 6 White Bird Street, he had met each other!

Even, when the waitress Elena killed Brody by hiding poison with ice cubes, the other party also insisted that it was the male waiter who seemed to have a good relationship with Yelena!

'Impossible! ’

'It can't be Elena's!' ’

'You must be mistaken!' ’

Arthur still remembers the appearance of the other party when he spoke up.

"I didn't expect it to be you!

Your name is ......

Houghton, right? ”

When Arthur asked, he didn't hide his surprise in his tone-

After the incident of the waitress Elena being poisoned, Malinda investigated those waiters, and Horton, who was the first to jump out, was naturally the first to be investigated.

Similarly, it was the first to be ruled out of suspicion.

The other party's resume is very clean, and he is also diligent after joining the company, although there are some small flaws in Yelena's affairs, but it is also what a young man should have.

As for depression for a while afterwards?

It also reassures the people around him that the other party is not suspicious.

Therefore, when it was confirmed that there was a member of the 'Dead Poets Society' who was completely ordinary in No. 6 Shiratori Street, the suspicion of the other party was reduced in a straight line!

Although it was also investigated, with the previous meticulous foreshadowing, the attention of the investigator was more likely to be attracted by others.

It's not that those investigators aren't cautious enough.

It's that the acting skills of Horton in front of him are too good.

The layout, in particular, is even more impressive.

Dare to play with the dark under the light, it is enough to surprise.

And the darkness under the lights laid out in advance is even more remarkable.

If you don't know everything around you, you can't have such a layout.

"It's amazing!"

Arthur sighed and raised his hand to applaud.

"Nope!

I can't do it amazingly!

You're really amazed me—

Arthur. Lord Credos! ”

The members of the 'Death Poets Society' in front of him controlled the [Exquisite Human Puppet], stared at Arthur with blazing eyes, and asked directly.

"In order to divert attention and make up for the loophole of the 'Axe Killer', the incident of Elena was completely improvised by me, so it was too rough.

For others, it may not be noticed.

But for you, I'm afraid the flaw is even greater, right?

That's when you set your sights on me, right?

That's why you'll always be able to spot the clues of my layout!

Whenever I just finished the layout, you choose to break the game!

You want to exhaust me and show my flaws!

Right now?

As you wished!

I'm showing a flaw! ”

The other party spread out his hands as he spoke, looking helpless.

Arthur's face remained indifferent, as if everything was as the other party said, and his heart was groaning.

And so it was!

At that time, I felt that something was wrong, I always felt that someone was weaving a big net - I thought it was coming at me, who knew that this guy was laying out the ceremony!

Tsk, I said a coincidence, I don't know if he believes it or not? ’

Arthur sighed in his heart for an accident, and the member of the 'Death Poets Society' continued to manipulate the [Exquisite Puppet] and said-

"To be honest, I was cornered before.

After successive failures, the higher-ups of the 'Dead Poets Society' were dissatisfied with me.

Even, some of the help for me is quietly disappearing.

Because......

They think you're also a 'child of death'! ”

Speaking of this, a trace of anger appeared on the other party's helpless face.

At this moment, the other party's tone began to rise-

"This is also your reward for arranging the 'Axe Killer' to provoke you!

You're telling me that you guessed who I am, and you want to be honest with me!

But......

I said it was the bastard's unauthorized actions, do you believe it? ”

Arthur: Ah, yes, yes, that's what you say.

The young 'spirit medium' who complained for a while in his heart frowned very cooperatively, looking like this answer was beyond his expectations.

The other party is stalling for time, in order to complete the ceremony.

He is also stalling for time, in order to find the other party.

Moreover, in order to be more natural and not to be discovered by the other party, he also has to provide emotional value to the other party.

So, as Fokine searched, Arthur spoke.

"You mean, is it a misunderstanding?"

"Of course!

That greedy bastard had his eye on my employer, the 'Lady of the Long Night' - his head was full of shit......

He had no idea how much of a mistake he had committed.

If it weren't for this bastard, I think we could have been friends. ”

The other party's words began to become calm.

Then, he looked at Arthur with regret in his eyes.

"It's a pity that we missed each other because of a greedy bastard.

Are you looking for my arrangement here?

I'll show you! ”

The other laughed as he spoke.

And the next moment—

The earth shakes and the mountains shake!

The trees in the dense forest were lifted one after another, and a huge platform made entirely of bones rose from the ground.

The height of the platform is 10 meters, and the length and width are 50 meters.

On the four corners, there is a 3-meter-high view of Kyoto.

Layers of skulls were layered on top of each other, and in the mouth of the skull at the top, a strand of hair spat out and hung straight down to the ground.

The closer it was to the ground, the thicker the strand became, and by the time it landed, the single strand had become thigh-thick, a rope made entirely of dry hair.

Four thigh bones, sticking the hair rope into the ground.

On the front, behind the [Exquisite Human Puppet] who was manipulated by the members of the 'Death Poets Society', a step completely paved with cervical sternum appeared.

Every time a bone slab appears, a thick breath of death erupts from the ground.

By the time the sixty-six steps appeared, the air of death had become so thick that it hung over the dense forest like a dark cloud.

Any bird that breaks into the air of death will lose its life.

And any ordinary person who enters this area will also be eroded by the dead air.

"You see, that's what I've got for you - but you've been so careful that you've kept a safe distance from me from the moment you appeared, and haven't given me the slightest chance!

So, I'm going to show you a lot of it. ”

The other party said.

Arthur, of course, would not believe the other party's nonsense.

The situation in front of him was the same as he had guessed before.

The other party is using everything in front of him to attract the attention of the rest of the people again.

And that visible dead air?

Naturally, it was to cover up the initiation of the 'Ritual of Resentment'.

'Heavenly?' ’

Arthur silently glanced at the dead cloud, and Fokine immediately leaned in quietly.

Ordinary birds, close to this concentration of dead air, are naturally dead.

Not even a mystic creature can withstand it.

However, Fukin, who was promoted completely through Arthur's [Breath of Death] talent, did not feel the slightest discomfort at all, and like a fish in water, Fujin melted in.

And, of course, there are ......

Ground floor!

Rats approached the ground of the high platform.

When he was unsure whether the thick cloud-like death was a trick, it was all Arthur's instinctive caution.

Seeing Arthur's silent appearance, the other party smiled and said-

"I admire your observation and intelligence.

But I'm not convinced.

You've got too much of an advantage, so I'd like to be fair with you—

If you win, I'll take it.

If I win, how about you promise me three things? ”

"Than what?"

Arthur looked interested.

The other party didn't speak again, and as soon as he raised his hand, he felt out of his sleeve......

A deck of poker.
