Chapter 233
Departing at noon, it was almost dusk when we arrived at Hongya Town.
Although it is near Demingham, it is just a rural town. The road conditions in the second half are not good, and it was a rainstorm week a while ago. Although the wind and rain here is not as good as that in Demingham Violent, there must be ripples.
It was bumpy all the way, and the situation only got better when it was near the town.
“Why are there so many people at the entrance of the town, is there any holiday today?”
Stephanie looked out the window outside the town entrance. Various items are placed.
It’s almost evening, and at this point, it’s no wonder Stephanie thinks they’re going to have a holiday party.
“Look carefully, there are bedding on those wooden carts, and some hard wheat bread in the basket. What kind of party has to bring bedding to attend?”
Donald Looking at the ox cart passing by outside the window, his eyes swept over the things loaded behind him, and he turned around and said to Stephanie.
“Really? Then why did they do this…”
This question is obviously what Pence wanted to ask earlier.
“It’s very simple. Gather the masses to reduce casualties. It can also be simply called holding a group for warmth. This method is a bit stupid, but it has to be said that it is a good method. The population of rural towns is often scattered. They have their own land, ponds or forest farms where they usually hunt and chop wood. The undying creatures may have attacked some residents in the periphery. They are helpless. Once they are approached by undying creatures, the chances of surviving are very small. After all, they want to hide by hiding. The result of avoiding undying creatures who rely on Life Aura to find people is that they force themselves into some nooks and crannies and let others… undying creatures are slaughtered, and the government gathers people, nothing more than hoping to use limited power to at least This town is protected, stop first, I want to go down and have a look.”
Donald explained in great detail, which is the conclusion he deliberately collected a large amount of information in a short period of time through quick thinking.
It’s not just the debris on the car board, Donald also sees the sadness on the faces of the people passing by and some facial expressions with the corners of their mouths down and frowns in their conversations. How about such an emotional state How could it be a good thing, and what’s the worst thing about Redcliffe right now?
Isn’t that what they’re about to deal with?
Borglo Campbell or Anthony, he might only say the first half of the sentence, because these two people’s minds can think of it very quickly, but Stephanie and Not so with Pence.
It’s not that they’re stupid… well, if they had to say, their thinking speed really couldn’t keep up with Donald, who had a quick mind.
The eyes swept across their faces pretending to be inadvertent, seeing thinking and some surprised expressions, Donald knew that his forward thinking this time had achieved good results, Burns and Steffen A clever label should be added to Ni’s impression of him.
And that was his real purpose.
Most people will have emotions like jealousy and admiration compared to people who are smarter than themselves, and as long as these emotions are properly manipulated, they can be turned into other emotions that Donald wants –convince.
The premise is that you have to convince the other person that you are smarter, that you are more, faster and more accurate than they think.
This kind of feeling does not depend on a word or two or a slap in the sleeves, and it is enough to let go of the tyrannical spirit. It has to rely on practical actions, and the unnoticeable influence makes one’s image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Thankfully Donald does have that talent.
Pence pulled over to a nearby road, and Horn Shelley, who was ahead, noticed their actions and also chose to pull over to the side of the road.
Two cars that are rarely seen in such a rural town stopped outside the town entrance, which naturally attracted the attention of several nearby police officers who were maintaining order. Susanna greeted her with her previous document bag and documents. Horn Shelley looked at the situation around him, as if thinking about something.
Donald glanced at the looming moon in the sky and the sunset in the distance that had mostly sunk into the mountains, and took a few steps closer to Horn Shelley.
“Captain Shelley, I think the people here should be on the front line of the case. I want to ask them about their situation and collect first-hand information.”
Those who should ask for instructions have to ask for instructions. Donald doesn’t want to leave a person with the image of making his own decisions and acting without authorization.
“Okay, you take two more people. I’ll go to the police station here and act together. At 7 o’clock, the police station will meet.”
Horn after leaving Demingham ·Shelley appears to be in a much more normal mood, and responds skillfully to Donald’s call for action.
I can’t see the frivolous appearance of the drunk and playboy yesterday.
Donald watched as he left, turned back to Stephanie and Burns.
“The three of us act together to ask the surrounding people what happened recently in the small town of Red Cliff, how about it? You don’t need to ask the question to undying creature, you can ask if there are any suspicious people. , weird things that happened or something.”
The three of us followed me instead of you two, Donald tried to create a squash atmosphere as much as possible, and Stephanie didn’t need to say more, immediately. Just took out the notes from the backpack, Donald’s attention was more on Pence.
“I don’t mind, just don’t let me stay with that guy and do whatever.”
Pence still has a big opinion on Horn Shelley, Donald thought this might be an opportunity, and deliberately got closer to Stephanie when he dispersed to ask.
“Ask Burns about Horn Shelley later, pay attention to cooperation, and this is yours, your Innate Ability is not a combat type, right? This inscription scroll is Level 2 inscription, ice trap, if you encounter danger, you can just tear it off and use it, you can place a trigger trap anywhere, or you can detonate it yourself.”
Donald handed the inscription scroll to Sri Lanka. Tiffany said in a low voice.
“Thanks, but I don’t have the money…”
“I know, this is my investment in you, the mission at this time is obviously a combat mission, I I don’t want the companion I just approved to die in the mission, understand? If anyone else asks, say you and I bought it. The price of this inscription is 15 gold pounds.”
Previous The wolfhound inscription has a special ability, so it can be sold at a high price in the sea market. Other Level 2 inscriptions are naturally cheaper, but 15 gold pounds is actually more than half a month’s salary for an investigator.
If you want to win over people, words and actions are part of it, and small favors are naturally indispensable. Donald gave Stephanie the Level 2 inscription for free. On the one hand, he really did not want Stephanie to have an accident. Judging from the previous situation, she is obviously a novice. If there is a problem with the first task, Donald has spent so much effort before.
On the other hand, this kind of private, single-purpose giving will make the other person feel valued, which is a good way to bring the relationship closer.
“Okay, I understand, Donald, thank you!”
Stephanie clenched the scroll of inscriptions and put it in her pocket. For convenience, the investigators Basically, windbreakers are worn, regardless of gender.
Of course, women’s are naturally more self-cultivating.
“Hello, we are investigators from Demingham who are here to help you solve your problem. Can you tell me what happened recently?”
Donald asked A well-dressed man obviously has a certain level of education, and it will be much easier for such a person to communicate.
“Investigators from Demingham? Oh, you’re so timely…monster, outside the town of Redcliffe, probably…about that area, The monsters showed up, they rushed into the Dex’s house, the Cannes house, they killed… it was cruel, I saw the bodies, you know, that scene…”
Knowing that it was someone who came to help, the person in front of him was a little emotional. He had been to the scene of the murder, which made him still look pale when he recalled it. He took out a cigarette from his arms and lit one for himself. Handed it to Donald, who waved his hand away.
The two moved the conversation to a nearby tree, just by the side of the road. There was a wide dirt road behind Donald. The trees on both sides were obviously trimmed, and the crown of the tree was somewhat above the road. The positions of about three meters cross each other.
The setting sun casts a lot of red light spots on the ground, and naturally there are shadows from the branches. It should be a peaceful scene, but now it is a bit noisy because of the crowd.
“Relax, sir, please stay calm, I’m not trying to remind you of those bad scenes, what I’m asking is is there anything weird going on in town lately? Okay, you know, some things don’t show up for no reason.”
Looking back, Donald stroked the stubble on his chin and pointed his finger to his side, signaling Finger not to run around.
“Strange thing? The weirdest thing I think is the presence of these monsters.”
“No, before, I mean what happened before these monsters came along , perhaps some strange phenomenon, perhaps one or several strange people.”
A major event often makes people ignore many details, such as we are looking at eggs When the baby’s juice is poured on the iron plate, it will not go to the material used in making these milkshake-like liquids.
Donald tries to lead the other person to recall a time ago.
“Sorry, I don’t know, I live outside the town and usually only come to town when I need to buy things”
“It’s okay, have you seen this thing? The one on this picture.”
Donald asked, turning the book Evil Banishment to the page where the demon cage was recorded, pointing to the printed drawing.
“This…I’ve seen it, in a wood outside of town, to the southeast, my wife and I have seen it when walking or collecting firewood, she He even mentioned this to me, saying that he saw a tall fatty hang these wooden cages on trees.”
Unexpected news.
