stand-in creed

After throwing out an extremely difficult question, he is still waiting for Nero to hand over the answer to this question.

This time, however, someone rushed to answer.

"Boss!" Apache stepped forward, "My "Melancholy Blues" has a very long range when playing back!Even if I am outside the safe range, Melancholy Blues can accurately perform the playback work!The enemy's ability is to control the iron element, and it is a substitute messenger for the main body rather than a substitute. If this is the case, let "Melancholy Blues" go in and search it openly! "

"At first glance, what you said makes sense, but Apache." Nero looked at the loyal Apache, "I have been thinking about a question since just now-is there really only one enemy? ?”

"Hey?"

Apache was taken aback.

Nero said as a matter of course: "From the beginning to now, the assassination team has always carried out tasks in a "two-person team", and now it is even less likely to suddenly become a "single soldier".Considering the inexplicable awareness of those people, if one of them would rather be discovered by me than kill you, what should you do?

"Take a step back, even if the members of the assassination team act alone, will there be "third-party" enemies mixed in besides that?Such as the enthusiastic pro-guard. "

"This……"

Apache was speechless for a moment.

Nero took a deep breath: "If there are really two or more stand-in messengers in the room, judging from the distance between me and this house, once the enemy launches an attack on Melancholic Blues, you will definitely die. You will die before you even die. Risut's appearance can't be played back, because the playback takes time.

"This is no longer a question of courage and awareness, but a purely "strategic" question.So it is impossible for me to authorize such an action unless all possibilities are exhausted. "

"..."

Apache understood and accepted what Nero said.

But on this basis, Apache still asked anxiously: "Then what should we do, boss? The enemy is mixed in the crowd. If we don't go in, we can't confirm the enemy's identity, but at the same time, if we go in Will be attacked by the enemy's substitute.

"This is simply a dilemma, boss! What should I do..."

Naturally, Apache was helpless in the face of such a situation.

However, Nero raised the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't the method right there, Apache?"

"……Um?"

"Apaki, like most of the stand-in emissaries, you neglected to cultivate your body after you possessed the "wonderful" power of a stand-in.You're relying too much on the ability of "Melancholic Blues"! "

Nero said seriously.

Apache understood that when Nero said such words, it meant that Nero had found the answer, and the reason why he asked this now was just to remind himself.

I just heard Nero continue to speak: "The so-called body, it doesn't mean that Ripple Messenger must be transformed into a human double like me to fight in the end, but that he must show "a talent that the double does not have". Apache!Think about your talents, think about your "former career", Apache!

"——You are not only a stand-in messenger, but also the former police officer Leo Apache!"

"?!"

Apache's eyes lit up.

The corner of Nero's mouth twitched: "At this moment, there are thirteen real people who are lying there! It's not a non-essential feature in a novel! They have their own childhood, their own hobbies, and their own families. , have their own social circle, and have a life that belongs only to them among the 60 billion creatures on this planet!

"This battle is not only a competition of stand-in ability, but also a competition of "intelligence"!All we need to do is to find out one or more of the hidden outliers among the 13 people, and this kind of work is a matter of course——

"It's the turn of the 'detective' and the 'cop'. "

(Also, wait until I wake up)

Chapter 78 Giotto VII

In the living room, the howling sound weakened a lot.

It’s not because these filmmakers are not in pain anymore, it’s just that they are tired from crying, but even so, they are still full of tears, or praying for a miracle, or crying about how bad they are, or lamenting how their future life should be. Where to go.

At this moment, Nero found a piece of paper from nowhere and used it as a simple loudspeaker, and immediately the loud voice reached the ears of everyone in the living room.

"Good evening, gentlemen and ladies.

"First of all, I want to tell you the sad news that you have been involved in the battlefield of "superpowers"-like those unlucky passers-by in Hollywood assembly line popcorn movies, and I am obviously one of the superpowers.

"And my enemy—the one who cripples your ability to move by making iron objects on you, is among you."

In an instant, the noisy voice sounded again.

Help.

Swearing.

voice of doubt.

Prayer.

There are all kinds of sounds.

"Shut up everyone.

"I know you're in pain, I know you're scared.

"But I'm neither an angel sent by God, nor a civil servant supported by taxpayers, and I don't need the poor votes in your hands! Everyone is an adult and has to be responsible for their own actions. In other words - whoever dares to make trouble when I am questioning, I will cut off his tongue, just like your hair!

"And if in the end, because of your lack of cooperation, some of you or even all of you can't survive, then I can only pretend to shout Hallelujah, and then pat my ass and leave. Just drink what you want, after all, I have done my best.

"If you want to survive, give me some peace!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen corrugated knives flew into the room whistling, brushing past the ends of everyone's hair.

Strand after strand of hair fell to the ground.

And now the room finally became quiet, and Nero nodded in satisfaction.

"very good.

"That's it, ladies and gentlemen, let's behave like sleeping babies."

As for Risut, who saw this scene, he couldn't help wondering which of the two of them was the real gangster.

Not only that, but Risut secretly thought something was wrong.

"Nero Zeppelin has finished answering the questions, and he has found the method of "uncovering my identity without entering the house"—just like Sherlock Holmes, relying on the clues here and the confessions of the people present to restore the truth of the facts.

"This is beyond the scope of a stand-in messenger. I never thought that as a stand-in messenger, there would be a day of fighting like today! But fortunately, this question is very simple. No matter who Nero asks next, what is the answer?" problem, as long as I use "metalwork"..."

However, Nero suddenly opened his mouth: "You among the 13 people must be thinking, when I call people to ask questions like a teacher rolls names and answers questions, using your ability to play with the iron element to destroy the vocal cords Is it okay? Just like you have taken away the ability of these people to move, it is not difficult to take away their language ability."

"?!"

Risut's pupils shrank.

Just listen to Nero's leisurely way:

"Actor friends present, you have to be thankful that old Qibelin is not a serious person. I recognize your faces because I have seen your movies! I think the enemy I am looking for should not be one of you. a member."

The enemy is the assassination squad.

Although there are always people who say that killing all witnesses is a perfect assassination, the members of the assassination team are just ordinary assassins, and they should of course follow the principle of "hiding" so as not to show their faces like actors.

Not to mention the actors of adult films.

Nero said again: "As for the members of the photography team, I don't know each other. Every one of you is the object of my doubts! But you are the "team", right?Although I don't know you, but since you are a team, that means—

"You should know each other, but now a mouse has gotten in between you.

"This mouse is either an "investor" or a "boss" who is above the director, and occasionally appears on the set in a hurry; A newcomer who goes to work in one day, and this newcomer is likely to be a relationship account directly arranged by the investor or the boss.

"Don't be blinded by the injuries on his body. In order to perfectly blend in with you, he even hit himself fiercely!

"I count from three to zero.

"At the moment when the count reaches "zero", everyone will point out the mouse you think, if you abstain, I will acquiesce that you are identifying yourself!

"three!"

It must not be a coincidence that this team is here.

Either the assassination team is connected with the management of the company where the team is located, or the assassination team itself is the management or investor of the company, and has sufficient authority to arrange the team here at the right time and the right place .

Under such circumstances, if the person in the assassination team wants to lurk in the team, the "roles" available to him are very limited.

'Oops……'

Risut's expression became more serious.

He felt that he had overestimated Nero Zeppelin as much as possible, but he didn't expect that the other party was still so terrifying!

What makes Risut feel even worse is that when Nero mentioned the newcomers who went to work on the first day, he already found that many people focused on him, who was arranged by the boss, On the first day of work, the newcomer field manager of the relationship household!

"two!"

What should I do?

How to steer Nero to the wrong goal the moment he counts to zero?

Risut's brain was spinning rapidly.

"--metal products!"

Suddenly, the blades, daggers, scissors, and sharp blades stuck on everyone's feet, legs, and knees turned into iron sand one by one, and floated towards the center of the room, gradually forming a string of words in the air——

——Whoever moves, dies.

at the same time.

"one!"

Risut's nerves were strained to the extreme.

"These people are afraid of death!

"These guys aren't some conscious gangster, they're just a bunch of porn guys who don't even want dignity.

"As long as you threaten them with their lives, even if Nero yells zero, they will definitely think of mundane thoughts such as "others will point it out" and "he won't really do it". After all——Nero arrives So far only gently cut off a lock of their hair.

"Unless Nero is really determined to kill one of them, until the real death comes, they will naively have a glimmer of hope and pick themselves out of this death vortex..."

Risut thought so.

However, at this moment, Risut suddenly thought of something, and looked at the foam lenses floating in the room one after another, transmitting every move in the room to Nero.

The final countdown sound did not come, replaced by Nero's leisurely announcement.

"Do you think I really expect them to stretch out their hands and identify them in this environment?

"Impossible, this kind of "thinking" action involves too many psychological problems, and it is very likely that after the countdown is over, only two or three of the thirteen people will really raise their hands.So what I expected was not their identification from the very beginning, but their absolutely irresistible instinct——

"Sight.

"When I mentioned the newcomers on "the first day of work", the person they subconsciously looked at was you I was looking for! "

Following Nero's voice, pitch-black bullet holes appeared on the wall.Risut knew it was a traceable bullet hole from Nero's golden knife.

And the direction that the bullet hole was heading was exactly the direction where Risut was.

Risut subconsciously wanted to dodge, but at this moment he suddenly realized something.

"My feet..."

"That's right, in order to use these people to hide your existence and prevent them from escaping from this villa, you personally took away their ability to move. And you, who are enlightened, firmly believe that if you don't make the same attack on yourself, you Absolutely can't fool me.

"you succeeded.

"You did successfully deceive me back then, preventing me from finding you. But that also means that once your identity is exposed, you will have no way to escape from the pursuit of the golden knife, Risut. "

"Nero Zeppelin—!!!"

Risut growled loudly, trying to get off the ground with his palms and knees, but that was too slow.

Outside the window, Nero put down his last finger.

"zero."

The countdown is over.

With the hideous blood hole twisted away from the position of the heart, Risut Nero "metal product" died.

Chapter 79 Youth and Oasis Part [-]

Risut is dead.

The death may be tragic, but it is neither noble nor regrettable, just like the other six members of the assassination team.
