Chapter 2796: The Childlike Argument
Because of what Dox said, Geng Gui and Erbao seemed to accept Angel's words and stopped delving into the issue.
However, they came here not only to ask this question.
There is another thing that makes them more concerned.
Erbao: "Have you met Tongxin?"
"Are you talking about Tongxin Younu?" Seeing Erbao nod, Angel shook his head directly: "I haven't seen him."
Dox also chimed in: "If the time point you are talking about is after we came to the underground waterway, then he should not have seen the so-called Tongxin Younu. I said that he was basically with us."
"But if you are talking about before, then I don't know."
Although Erbao was a little impatient with Dox's chiming in, he still didn't say anything. He just stared at Angel and said in a gloomy tone: "Tongxin said that you broke its fingers..."
Break fingers? Angel was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something.
"Although we signed a contract, if you really break Tongxin's fingers, the contract is equivalent to a piece of waste paper." Erbao said coldly.
Erbao's words were full of threats, and this time, Geng Gui did not speak out to stop him, which showed that they were really angry about Tongxin's broken fingers.
At first, everyone did not think that Angel would do such a thing, but seeing Angel lost in thought, their hearts could not help but jump.
Although Dox has always said that they have been with Angel since they came to the underground waterway, Angel also has times when he acts alone. For example, in the work area of the Hanging Prison Ladder outside, which is full of witch ghosts, Angel once left alone.
Maybe it is really possible that Angel broke Tongxin's fingers during that time. Even though Angel later "live broadcast", the live broadcast was not real, but Angel simulated it with an illusion. Who knows the real truth?
When everyone was a little hesitant, Angel finally raised his head.
"I seem to know who you are talking about..."
As Angel spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in the air.
The air seemed to turn into the surface of the water, and ripples appeared in circles. As the ripples spread and disappeared, an illusion appeared out of thin air in front of Angel.
Or... an illusion light screen.
Because the main body of the illusion is a flat mirror, with a row of glowing blood words in the center of the mirror:
"Leave here, or I will give you a residence permit forever."
After Angel created this illusion, he looked at the Black Earl, and then looked at Erbao: "Is this left by Tongxin Younu?"
When the one-eyed Erbao saw the glowing blood words on the illusion, his eyes suddenly glared at Angel: "Sure enough, you really did it!"
At this time, Geng Gui also floated to Erbao's side, exuding a cold breath, and looked at Angel with a bit more coldness.
Seeing the atmosphere going towards a tense direction, Angel sighed: "Did Tongxin Younu tell you that I broke its fingers?"
Erbao: "Why, you still want to argue?"
Angel shrugged: "Why should I argue, the facts are here. Do you think that Tongxin Younu, who left this bloody sentence, is mourning that I broke his fingers, or is he threatening me in a show of force?"
"...Although this sentence is considered a grammatical error, as you know Younu best, you should understand what it means? You should also be able to see what it felt when it left this sentence, right?"
Angel felt that he didn't need to explain, this row of bloody words was here. If it was really him who broke Tongxin Younu's fingers, why did it leave this sentence? Why show that it was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside?
Of course, if Erbao and Geng Gui didn't care about the truth at all, as long as it was said by mother Younu, even if it was a lie, they would believe it, then there would be no point in arguing.
On the other hand, Erbao and Geng Gui fell into thought.
In fact, Erbao and Genggui are one deep and one steady, and they look at things more rationally than Xiaobao.
So, when Tongxin said this, even though they were angry, they did not immediately believe Tongxin's words.
Because Tongxin said proudly that he drove Angel away, and then said aggrievedly that his fingers were broken. The emotional contrast before and after was too great, and it was really difficult for people to believe it immediately.
If it were Girl Heart and Mother Heart who said this, they would believe it without hesitation. But Tongxin's character is naughty, in other words: both bear and naive.
So it is possible to lie, and it has a history of lying.
For this reason, although they hold the idea of revenge on Tongxin, they also need to listen to Angel's words.
And what Angel said, even if he didn't say it clearly, just put out this row of blood words, it just showed the core of the matter. And this core is also what they felt wrong when they faced Tongxin before.
How could these two unrelated emotions appear at the same time? They really couldn't figure it out.
There is no doubt that this line of blood words must have been written by Tong Xin. Because this kind of desire to show off one's understanding and literary attainments can only be done by Tong Xin.
There is no doubt that, according to their understanding, Tong Xin must be threatening Ingres. Moreover, from the reflection of the blood words on the mirror, it can be known that Tong Xin's little finger must have been broken before writing, otherwise where did the blood come from?
First his finger was cut off by Angel, and then he used blood to leave a line of threats to Angel on the mirror. Does this seem like something a child would do?
Not like that. If a child's heart was really cut off, his first reaction would be to attack. If the attack failed, he would run away and file a complaint.
Childlike innocence can move as it pleases in the Mirror Realm and can find helpers in a very short time, just like it found them so quickly this time in order to convey His Majesty's will.
But Tongxin did not do this, neither attacked nor complained in time.
Therefore, it is basically certain that Tongxin did not feel that he had been wronged at that time.
Judging from the tone of the blood letter, it seems more like childlike innocence broke off his finger and left words on the mirror in order to threaten Angel...
Although self-mutilation may sound a bit unbelievable, this is not the first time this has happened.
When Mother Heart asked Tong Xin to teach Xiao Bao how to read, Tong Xin broke off two fingers of a hand that she had finally built with great difficulty, and used the blood seeping out of it to teach Xiao Bao to write on the ground.
According to Childlike Innocence, this will make Xiaobao remember it forever and never forget it.
And Xiaobao really did what his childlike innocence said, he would always remember that "lesson" in his heart... However, every time he recalled it, his face would turn pale and he would tremble with fear.
Thinking of this, Erbao and Geng Gui looked at each other and had a vague guess in their minds.
However, whether this guess is correct still needs to be confirmed by Angel.
"Since you don't admit that it was you who did it, how did you break the childlike finger?" Gengar asked Angel in a slightly gentle voice.
"It broke off by itself." Angel said calmly: "Also, don't forget that it is inside the mirror and I am outside the mirror. Do you think I might get into the mirror realm to deal with it?"
Erbao and Geng Gui basically believed Angel's words at this time, because it was in line with their speculation.
Angel also sensed from his super-perception that Erbao and Gengar had probably guessed the general situation.
However, even if they guessed part of the situation, Tongxin's finger was still broken, and the reason did have something to do with Angel. Angel really wanted to know what Gengar and Erbao would choose after knowing all the truth?
Are you still blaming yourself for the crime? Or should I say, angry? Or just let it go?
Angel could sense that both of them were in complicated moods, and they were probably thinking about how to end it.
While Erbao and Gengar were thinking about it, Angel also warned everyone in the spiritual belt.
If the talks really break down, they may still need to have a fight with Younu's two children.
Previously, the wise master had made it clear that if they really wanted to fight, they might be luckier facing You Nu than these two brothers. And the wise master admitted that he himself was unwilling to face them both.
From this we can know that Erbao and Geng Gui must have some special means.
This method may be the same as Younu's engulfment. Unless there is a way to restrain it, there is no solution.
Therefore, if you really want to fight, you must be cautious and cautious.
If anything went wrong, Doakes would have to open a plane passage and prepare to lead everyone away.
"Why am I the one to open the plane passage again?" Doakes frowned.
"If you are really forced to leave because of this, I will pay you the casting materials." Angel said.
Hearing that Angel wanted to reimburse him, Doakes relaxed his brows. However, he was also a little curious about Angel's words: "So, you and Tongxin really met. When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
"I know this." The Black Earl's voice sounded in the psychic belt.
Doakes looked at the Black Earl in surprise. If the Black Earl knew, then he should know? Angel still acted alone, but Earl Black never acted alone from beginning to end.
Angel: "At the end of the second floor, the dressing mirror."
After Angel pointed it out, everyone suddenly understood. If it was there, it was indeed possible... They remembered that Angel and the Black Earl were the last to come out at that time.
So, the dressing mirror in that house is actually the mirror that Angel appears in the illusion now?
Black Earl: "It is indeed not Angel's fault in this matter, it was the childlike slave who took the initiative to provoke him, and what Angel said is true."
Even if the Black Earl didn't confirm it, everyone actually believed Angel, because they remembered clearly that although Angel and the Black Earl came out last, the time difference between them was not that long.
There was no sound of fighting coming from that house.
If Angel was really going to do something, they must have felt it.
"So, is it childish innocence that is framing Angel?" Doakes stroked his chin and turned to look at Vai: "Vai, if your mother slanders an innocent person, who are you helping as a son? "
Vai glanced at the Black Earl and said silently: "My mother will not slander innocent people, she will only slander me..."
Doakes: "Oh, yes, I seem to remember you saying that you were taught many lessons by your own adults for this?"
Vai glanced at the Black Earl again and did not dare to speak.
Doakes looked at Kael again: "What about you?"
Kael smiled stiffly and hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say. However, Kael soon no longer had to answer, because Erbao and Gengar on the opposite side finally spoke after thinking for a long time.
Erbao spoke first, but its attitude was not very good. It just left a sentence: "I have told you the information, and I have solved the doubts. I will leave first."
After speaking, Erbao glared at Geng Gui with some dissatisfaction, as if asking Geng Gui to follow him, but Geng Gui seemed not to see it.
Erbao had no choice but to leave alone, drilled into the ground, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Even if Angel did not use super perception, he could be sure that Erbao was really gone just by sensing the energy of the surrounding array.
After Erbao left, the remaining Geng Gui had an illusion of being alone.
Geng Gui coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment in his heart, and then looked at Angel with an apologetic face: "We already know the specific situation. Tongxin was wrong in this matter. I apologize to you on its behalf."
After Erbao left, Geng Gui chose to apologize, which was actually... not unexpected to Angel.
It can be basically confirmed that Geng Gui should advocate an apology, while Erbao probably wanted to let it go. They never reached an agreement, Erbao simply left on his own, and only Genggui stayed to apologize to Angel.
Regardless of whether this apology was sincere or false, Erbao and Genggui chose not to confront Angel head-on. This was a bit unexpected for him.
Previously, the Wise Lord had always exaggerated that Younu's three children were closer to their mother, which made him label them as "mama's boys". Now it seems... it seems different from what he imagined.
"Is it because of Tongxin?" Angel suddenly asked.
Genggui was stunned for a moment and didn't respond.
Angel: "I mean, if it was a mother's heart or a girl's heart, would you make a different choice?"
Genggui remained silent.
However, its silence can be regarded as a response.
It seems that it is indeed because of Tongxin Younu. Even though, in a sense, it is also their mother, Genggui and Erbao have always called it Tongxin and never called it mother. It can be seen that the innocence of children may also have a high status in their hearts, but it is definitely not as good as the heart of a loving mother and a girl.
"I understand." Angel shrugged: "In fact, you don't have to apologize. We are not on the same side. But you apologized, and I accept it."
Geng Gui looked at Angel deeply: "No matter what, we misunderstood you. I hope you can return from the Forgotten Land smoothly..."
Geng Gui finished speaking, nodded to Angel again, and sank into the ground.
