Chapter 137 Calling for Help (Reward Plus More)
After seeing off Detective Robin, Xifa was going back to the bedroom to rest. This time, he didn't plan to sneak out of the hotel under the pretext of taking a lunch break, but really wanted to relax.
Since coming to Tingen, he has been almost occupied with various things every day. If he doesn't take a break, he is worried that he will be tired and overwhelmed.
Well, it means spiritually.
And I don't know if Klein will suddenly pull himself under the gray mist, and it's really not suitable for strolling around.
However, he remembered that in the original book, Klein seemed to only hold the Tarot meeting on Monday afternoon, so this afternoon, he should have his own time.
I just took this opportunity to summarize the experience of the 'provocateur' during this period of time.
In the bedroom, the macaw was huddled in a corner in the cage for some reason.
Originally, because the female parrot was disgusted by it, Xifa could only send it away, and let Matthew send it back to the pet shop.
Now the parrot occupying the cage alone seemed to be afraid of something, but he didn't say a word and didn't look sideways.
"What are you doing? Are you engaging in performance art?" Xifa lightly flicked the cage with his fingers.
Of course, he doesn't expect a parrot to understand what performance art is, even if it's a magical animal.
"Shh, don't talk. Oh, they're gone." The macaw glanced at the window.
Xifa opened the window curiously, but found nothing unusual: "Who left?"
"I don't know, anyway, it's something that makes me uncomfortable. Hey, you're going to die." The macaw looked at Sifa and tilted his head.
"You're about to die. Curse me, punish you for having nothing to eat at night, and make you starve to death." Xifa glared at it angrily.
The macaw spread its wings and spread its hands like a human: "What did I just say? I was talking nonsense. You wouldn't compete with a parrot, would you? No way?"
Xifa almost rolled his eyes when he heard that, at a time like this, don't you insist that you are a dragon?
He called Matthew and asked the manservant to take the parrot out for a walk. Matthew was worried that the parrot would fly away, but Sifer had no such concerns at all.
This guy is brilliant.
After sending away the noisy guys, Sifa finally got a peaceful afternoon, sitting on the sofa with his hands on his knees, leaning against the back of the chair in a relaxed way.
I already know that the most basic use of provocation is to use words and actions to make the opponent lose his mind and burn with anger.
This point has been verified in dealing with the killer who came to kill Helen, and the leader of the Sea Serpent Party.
I soon understood that provocation does not necessarily require the use of a lot of language, often a word or a look at a critical moment can play the same role.
Just like the time I dealt with Maggie, my cooperation with everyone formed a strong suppression on her and put her under tremendous psychological pressure.
In the end, I used a word and a look to make her lose her mind, and rushed towards the trap I set up quite cooperatively.
And on the night I faced Meyers, I discovered that provocation can also be applied psychologically.
The action of me standing at the door at that time was undoubtedly a psychological provocation, but the effect of that provocation was not to make him lose his mind, but to make him suspicious, and finally made him give up the easiest way to break through.
Therefore, I think that psychological provocations for cautious people will make them suspicious and miss the simplest and easiest opportunity to achieve their goals!
"I didn't expect a provocation, and the knowledge in it is quite big."
At night, Sifa slipped out of the hotel and into the safe house.
In the mailbox on the porch, he found a letter.
"For me?"
Seefa looked around, then opened the mailbox cautiously, instead of taking it directly with his hands, he picked it up with a dagger, and found the words 'Eros Security Company' written on the envelope.
He said 'oh', remembering that he had reported the address of the safe house to the Hunter Club. It seemed that Eros would send a letter to him if he needed something urgent.
At this time, it reflects the importance of the phone. If you have a phone or a mobile phone, you can find the other party immediately.
I don't know if things like mobile phones can be developed in this world in the future.
Cifer walked into the house with the letter, lit the gas lamp, and opened the envelope.
Taking out the folded letter paper inside and unfolding it, Xifa saw that there was only one line written on it: Duke, please come to the club, it's urgent!
Xifa frowned, disposed of the letter, and checked his belongings. He focused on confirming the teleportation brooch, which is an important life-saving item, and can escape from danger at critical moments.
Afterwards, he did not turn off the lights, and left through the window at the back of the house.
Hunter Club.
When Xifa walked in, he felt a tense atmosphere. Hunters in twos and threes gathered together, not knowing what to say.
At the bar, Eros was talking with Nefer, when the tall and beautiful girl saw Sifa, she immediately called out: "Boss Duke, this way."
Sifa came over: "What happened?"
Neffy said nervously, "Grizzly and Mole are missing."
"disappeared?"
Xifa was stunned for a moment, and then said: "How do you know?"
Eros stood up and said, "It's Bowen, he's a member of our club, and he's also a friend of the Grizzlies."
As he spoke, he waved to a man in his thirties with a bald head and black eyes in the corner of the hall.
The man came over, Eros introduced: "This is Bowen."
"This is the Duke." Eros patted the shoulder of the bald man, "Come on, tell him about the Grizzlies."
Bowen nodded and said, "Originally, the three of us made an appointment last night to find some exciting things to do. Well, I mean the casino, we can play all night."
"But last night when the time was up, I didn't see those two guys showing up. I didn't really care about it at first. They occasionally miss their appointments. I'm used to it."
"And then last night, I lost a lot of money, a lot of money, and it made the rest of my life a little bit difficult. I heard they made a lot of money recently, especially the Grizzlies, so I went to him Borrow some money."
"But Grizzly is not at home. The strange thing is that there are half-eaten food and unfinished cigarettes on the table. The point is, there is still an unfinished bottle of wine."
"That guy is addicted to alcohol. You can leave the food unfinished, and you can smoke half of the cigarettes, but you must not waste a drop of wine."
"The situation at the scene made me a little worried, but I checked around and found no traces of fighting, just like the kid ate half of his food and went out, and he never came back."
Listening to his narration, Xifa also began to feel that things were not simple.
Bowen continued: "The Grizzly couldn't be found, so I went to find the Mole. I thought the Grizzly had gone to him, but the Mole wasn't home either. Old cigars."
Xifa asked puzzled, "So what?"
Bowen said solemnly: "The Mole never smokes cigars, he only smokes cigarettes. Besides, we have set some emergency signals."
"Among them, if the Mole's cigar has been lit, something very dangerous has happened and he needs help, even rescue!"
PS: After reading it, the monthly ticket is 700, use a small notebook to remember it, and work hard to pay off the debt. In addition, as of 12 noon today, the first order is 427, and the average order is 348, which is about the same as I expected.
Well, let's try to make the average order 500~
