Chapter 1132: Finding Out the Watcher
Rhodes had no idea how much his adventures had changed her - although she still looked like the fairy fairy Nymph, her curiosity about the world had been thoroughly aroused after a trip to the North.
Such a curious person...... How can you wait for a day without doing anything?
……………………
When Rhodes returned to the banquet, the whole banquet had come to an end.
Although the guests are still in good spirits, most of this energy is just holding on.
This kind of "banquet for high-end people" is never a relaxed place, and it can be called a microcosm of Nash's Latin American social form by taking the opportunity of the banquet to try, negotiate, confront and cooperate through various means.
Although it is impossible to draw a knife and commit murder in such a venue, you can feel the trouble of this kind of banquet when you look at the ambassador of Shurima City and the leader of the sand thieves who are fighting to the point of alcoholism—even if the scope of the confrontation is confined to a single banquet, there are people who grit their teeth and die in order not to lose their face.
And as the core figure of the banquet, Saga is naturally not easy.
Although the female governor of Nash Lamin has recovered her memories to a certain extent, the fragmented memories still need to be sorted out slowly, and the contact with the three religions and nine streams during the banquet is the best way to sort out the memories.
Throughout the feast, Saga was full of brainpower, talking about people, talking about ghosts, and even the wine between the messenger of Shurima City and the leader of the sand thieves was also picked up by her - Saga wanted to test it in this way, but still did not gain anything.
Then, just when Saga had a headache, Rod returned.
Rhodes now plays the role of a Pitt City investor, and with the help of this official endorsement by the Pitt City ambassador, he "reluctantly" accosted Saga.
Then, according to the pre-arranged script, the two sides "talked happily".
Saga showed great interest in Ruder Finn's "investment plan" and then invited him to "talk about it in detail."
And the ambassador of Picheng also duly said that "everyone is tired", and in this way, the banquet ended with Rhodes' visit to the Governor of the Port, and finally drew a comma.
In the living room of the Harbor Governor's Mansion, Rod, Sagar, and Ambassadors Pitt were about to have an "important discussion", and after the Governor's assistants had left, Rhodes opened the soundproof barrier.
Out of an abundance of caution, the Picheng ambassador was also excluded.
"Got a clue?" Straight to the point, Rhodes asked Sagar, "You said that someone was always watching you, what clues did you have during this day?" ”
“…… In fact, nothing. Saga looked embarrassed, "The feeling of being watched is still there, lingering, but I tried to lure the other party out several times, but I never had a clue." ”
"Are you sure someone is staring at you?"
"I'm sure."
"But a few times you demonstrated today, the other party will definitely be aware of it, but there is no clue?"
"That's right." Saga was also at a loss, "I even contacted my former captain of the guard as soon as possible, for fear that the other party would suddenly attack me, but ...... For a whole day, nothing special happened. ”
"Tell me in detail." Rod also frowned, "What have you experienced in the course of a day today." ”
"That's ......"
Saga didn't hide it now, and simply told Rhodes all about her whole day's experiences - if in the morning she didn't dare to fully trust Rhodes and wanted to rely on herself to solve the trouble, after a day of suffering, she now just wanted to find out the watcher in the shadows, so that she could really relax!
Saga is under too much pressure right now!
Rod listened quietly to Saga's story, still asking for some details—compared to his own experience of observing Ravenhold Manor, Rhodes tried to help her get to the crux of the problem, but to no avail.
Seeing Saga getting more and more panicked, Rod finally frowned.
Subconsciously touching his nose, Rhodes tried to analyze the predicament that Saga was facing.
On the surface, Saga showed no signs of being watched, but he felt like a pair or many pairs of eyes were staring at him...... How does this become more and more like a delusional psychological disorder?
It's a pity that Rhodes doesn't understand mental health, and when it comes to the void, he should be as cautious as possible...... Huh?
"Do you still feel this way when you're unconscious?"
"Comatose?" Saga blinked his eyes a little inexplicably, "What coma?" ”
"This morning." Rod stared at Sagar's face, "When you've been triggered with hints and hysteria, do you ever feel like someone is staring at you?" ”
"I don't quite understand what you're talking about." Saga still didn't seem to understand what Rod meant, "How can you feel when you're unconscious?" ”
"What about before the coma?" Rod narrowed his eyes, "When you attacked me like crazy - do you remember?" ”
"I-attack you?" Sagar's face was full of astonishment, "You mean, I once attacked you?!" ”
"Okay." Rod pouted, "Do you smoke then?" ”
"Why do I smoke?" Faced with Rod's puzzled question, Saga gradually became emotional, "You want to smoke?" ”
“…… Things are in trouble. At this moment, Rhodes finally couldn't help but sigh, "I originally thought that you were hinted at by the Void Prophet, and your personality changed drastically, and even self-destructed for a while, so I subconsciously thought that after cutting off your connection with the Void, your whole person would be fine." ”
“……”
"Unfortunately, it seems that Lady Saga has long since split in two—the Lady Saga who tried to provoke me this morning and wanted to be killed by me is a very fond of smoking." As he spoke, Rod pointed to a box of shredded tobacco on the locker behind Sagar, "The smell on your body is completely different...... I don't think that's a simple signal. ”
Saga finally froze in place, staring blankly at Rod, as if unwilling to believe that the person she was worried about was actually another self.
"Now, at least we've found the real enemy, haven't we?" Looking at the sluggish Sagar, Rhodes could relax his tone, "As long as the split personality is resolved, the matter can be resolved......"
It's a pity that before Rod finished speaking, Saga's eyes changed—the next moment, Saga felt a short blade out of nowhere and stabbed straight at Rode.
This knife is fast and hateful, and it seems to directly stab Rod in the heart!
