To Four Thousand Years Later

"So. What if I still choose to refuse?"

Arthur suppressed the fear in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "Alcohol numbs my brain. You know, I never drink before talking about business.

He can chat with those congressmen who have fed their dogs with conscience without changing his face, and can calmly discuss political affairs with the smartest people in the world... But in front of Myron Durant, he shrinks back up. Because he could never convince a madman.

Smart people act logically, methodically, and predictably...but what would a madman do? No one will know. Maybe even he was scared to know. Because they have never been standard-bearers, but destroyers of order. After you push the "bishop" piece and make a check, the opponent chooses to raise his long sword in his turn and stab you right through. In this sense, Italians are more difficult to deal with than smart people.

Arthur couldn't help laughing bitterly.

But the other way around... if self 2 is smart enough. It shouldn't be in a dangerous situation from the very beginning. Now that he is forced to this point by a lunatic, it shows that he is not cautious enough or smart enough. But after hearing what Arthur said, Mr. Durant didn't say much.

The man who had just confessed to the crime of kinicide in front of Arthur just stared at Arthur strangely, his ice blue eyes were unusually calm.

"I have one more question, my brother," he began, in a strange, slow voice, "did I mention 'business' just now?"

"No." Arthur Qing said, "But I can figure it out."

"Oh!"

Myron Lant praised: "You chose to do business, otherwise I think you will become a great writer, a great writer!"

he said. Suddenly excited, he randomly pulled out a document from the side and handed it to Arthur. Holding an expensive gold-plated pen in his right hand, he bit open the cap of the pen with his teeth, spit it out into a pen and handed it to Arthur, and said enthusiastically, "Please sign for me, Your Excellency Holmes! I used to be your fan!" Arthur mumbled and quickly wrote down his name.

He lowered his gaze slightly. The deep blue flames in his eyes were not as ignited as traces.

Everything around him receded to the extreme distance in an instant, leaving only this document floating in front of him.

At this time. Only Arthur had time to read the contents of this document carefully.

"Report on the Determination of the "Trace" Reversal Period"

Inversion period? what is this?

Arthur froze for a moment, and quickly scanned the report.

He can't copy things he hasn't seen... But on the other hand, as long as he sees, smells, and hears even a moment, he can freeze and watch them here. And because Arthur saw only this page of the document, he couldn't turn the page backwards.

But even so, he probably understood the nature of this drug called "trace"-it is usually a black or dark purple paste. After dissolving in water or other liquids, it is light pink and has a strong aromatic smell. It looks like diluted straw or grape juice.

It only needs to absorb the paste by means of mucous membrane contact, or drink the water solution to take effect... The user will have a magical "synesthesia" effect. During the effect period, the holder's spiritual energy will expand rapidly .

Simply put, after taking it, you can "see" things even with your eyes closed, and you can "smell" odors without using your nose, and greatly enhance pleasure, self-confidence, and improve various senses. But after being greatly diluted in water However, some changes have taken place in its properties: instead, it can numb the sense of touch and pain, and thus produce an analgesic and stimulating effect, and increase the heart rate. If it is taken at normal concentrations, there will be some residual "mirror version" The ingredients accumulate in the kidneys, absorb nutrients, and replicate themselves. After the concentration is higher than a certain level, the "mirror version" of good traces will be released back into the blood, resulting in an unknown side effect called "reversal phase". A little It is specially marked that this medicine is taken together with alcohol, which will lead to rapid and sudden death. The deceased's whole body becomes stiff, the skin precipitates oil, the blood coagulates and solidifies into a light red ointment, and the body temperature is extremely low after death. Therefore, it can also be used as an assassination drug …If it is mixed with wine, it will be detected by the magic of "detect poison". But if you take "trace" before drinking, you will be poisoned unconsciously. He immediately thought of Duran The "grape juice" that I let myself drink, I can't help but rejoice that I drank two cups of wine in the morning.

If not, I'm afraid Durant would have poisoned him when he lost consciousness.

Since this drug can be used to domesticate humans, I am afraid that the "reversal phase" will be very painful when it occurs. If I drank that glass of "juice", I'm afraid life and death are out of my control now. Arthur is very sure about his willpower - if his willpower could be strong enough to withstand the side effects of drugs, then he would not be so fat now. I can't even lose weight, and I hope to use willpower to fight against the "traces"

He didn't dare to gamble. And another question is... Does Pope Leonardo know about this?

From the current point of view, the overseas party Leonardo is hostile. In other words, their camps are opposite. If you accept the traces, it means that you can only work for the overseas faction "This is absolutely not possible.

One and Leonardo Pope is invincible. No, there is still play!

A flash of light appeared in Arthur's mind, and he suddenly caught his own vitality!

Although Vienna is very far from the Whitechapel district... But because of the existence of telephones, the speed of message transmission within countries is very fast. It only needs to travel through a few key cities and across borders to get the message across. The journey from Vienna to the Whitechapel district will take no more than three hours. And up to now, about eight hours have passed. Therefore, as long as there is no delay on the road for too long, there must be time! Arthur immediately identified the crux of the problem: "You must never agree to the other party's request, even if it is only a false agreement.

He confirmed in a low voice: "Otherwise, just in case, the Pope will probably classify me as an enemy and kill me. After all, he doesn't know if I'm really betraying. Frank's overseas sent him doesn't have the capital to sit on the wall. Because he is not unique to Leonardo. He can't keep himself. Therefore, Myron Durant's request must not be agreed!

In front of Leonardo, his ability is irrelevant... Now that he has determined his position, he must remain loyal enough in the future!

One and Leonardo is also completely worthy of his entrusted loyalty.
