Chapter 38, The Way to Eliminate Hell's Messengers
There is another sentence in the classic quotes of Sherlock Holmes that Lin You particularly likes and is also very impressed.
"Don't let a person's appearance affect your judgment!"
In his eyes, this man who looked very cowardly and weak did affect his judgment.
The other party's cowardly behavior of being vigilant and afraid is a coward, but what if these appearances are all disguised by him?
After all, he is an old fry who has experienced at least three strange journeys!
Lin You became more suspicious, no, it should be said that he is more sure that this guy is the messenger of hell!
"When you rule out all other possibilities and there is one left, no matter how impossible it is, that's the truth!"
This sentence forced Lin You to assume reasoning in another direction.
Assuming that the man lies in front of the skeleton and will not be killed, assuming that the skeleton will not kill him, then all the puzzled doubts will be self-defeating!
Lin You's eyes made the man's heart shudder, like a cold cobra, spitting out a threatening snake letter at him and revealing two sharp and hideous snake teeth.
The man subconsciously held his right hand, as if he was nervous, he would habitually rub each other with his thumb and index finger nails.
Lin You approached him and asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
“What’s the problem?”
The man took two steps back vigilantly. He didn't know if he had a ghost in his heart or was worried that Lin You would kill him, and he always kept a safe distance of three or four meters from Lin You.
Lin You stared at his restless fingers and said calmly: "You said that if you can't find scissors before the skeleton and hand them over to the skeleton, then the skeleton will kill you!
On the contrary, if you find scissors in front of the skeleton and hand them over to the skeleton, then can you get any reward?"
As he said that, Lin You accelerated his pace a little and approached, "For example, you won't be killed by a skeleton? Or can you lie in front of a skeleton?"
Seeing Lin You approaching faster, the man accelerated and retreated uneasyly, and said nervously: "Are you suspicious that I am lying?"
"Not doubt, it's certain!"
Lin You was arrogant: "There is a saying that goes, if there is no clue in a case, then the witness is the clue!
There are too many things you said before, and there are too many doubts exposed! Although you can explain these doubts reasonably to eliminate my suspicion about you.
But there is one thing you can't eliminate, so you can only choose to avoid it and dare not get too close to me!"
Every time Lin You approached, the man would stay away and said hastily: "You make up for it, just think that I am a messenger of hell and plan to kill me!"
Lin You pretended to be calm and portrayed himself as a bloodthirsty and brutal murderer. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing an evil smile full of threats.
"You are panicked! You are panicked from the beginning when you meet me! The reason why you dare not get close to me is that you always keep a distance of three or four meters from me is because you are afraid that you will be too close to me, which will lead to the lies you have told before you undefeated!"
While retreating, the man defended himself: "The reason I keep my distance from you is because I am afraid that you are the real messenger of hell! I am afraid that you will kill everyone in the most cruel and bloody way, just like those crazy guys, in order to monopolize the mission rewards!"
Lin You pressed step by step and said sarcastically: "Isn't this what you mean? For the sake of rewards and to pass the level, use the skeleton to kill everyone!
At the same time, in order to avoid the exposure of the identity of the Hell Messenger, you choose the person who is left alone and easily kill the other party while the skeleton is unable to move when he asks questions!
So, as long as you are targeted by a skeleton, no matter how the other party answers, there is only a dead end! Either the answer is wrong and the skeleton cuts off his tongue and kills it, or the answer is correct, but because the body cannot move, you will take the opportunity to kill it! Am I right?"
The man retorted: "You are clearly putting on the hat! You deliberately made a reason to convince yourself to kill me with peace of mind!"
"You can think so!"
Lin You then approached, as if he was the real messenger of hell, and said aggressively: "If I guessed correctly, when I and that guy named Fang Qiang were verifying the reason for the skeleton murder in the No. 1 cinema, you should just hide at the entrance of the cinema!
But the situation inside was a bit beyond your expectations! You never expected that there would be two guys who were not afraid of death to verify the reason for the skeleton's murder in front of the skeleton!
So your murder plan was destroyed by us, which led to you clearly wanting to go in and kill me who couldn't move, but because of Fang Qiang's existence, he was afraid that he would not beat Fang Qiang, which exposed your identity as a messenger of hell. So you weighed the pros and cons and finally chose to endure!"
Speaking of this, Lin You suddenly confessed: "Thinking about it now, I am really sorry to Fang Qiang! He saved my life, but I not only killed him, but also whipped his body.
By the way, I seemed to have misunderstood him. Although he strangled the woman to death, he probably didn't take off the woman's clothes. After all, he didn't have so much time to mess around, so it was you who took off the woman's clothes, right?"
The man's face changed slightly, and his speechless and nervous expression seemed to be as if Lin You were right.
"What? If you don't speak, you will assume that you are accused!"
Lin You was even more sure of his guess. He smiled contemptuously and reasoned: "Do you know? The biggest flaw you revealed is the words you said when you angrily scolded the manipulator behind the strange journey!
As a person who has experienced at least three strange journeys and is still alive, do you think I will believe it if it depends entirely on luck?
Therefore, you must have specialties that are different from ordinary people, which may be your IQ or your acting skills.
Nothing is important, what matters is your weakness! Body shape and strength and personality weakness! This leads to you being so cowardly that even a woman can’t win in a strange journey!
This is why you still dare not attack me and are afraid of being killed by me!
Of course, this is not the reason why you are vigilant and dare not get close to me!
If I guess correctly, the reason you keep your distance from me is because there is unscrapable blood in the cracks of your nails. I am afraid that I will use this detail to determine your identity as a messenger of hell and thus kill you, right?"
As he was talking, Lin You forced the other party to retreat to the entrance of the No. 1 cinema hall. The lights in the outside hall seemed to have become light and dark due to poor circuit contact, making the atmosphere of the cinema even more gloomy and terrifying.
Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Lin You continued to reason: "As for your voluntary confession that you seem to be a messenger of hell, can I understand that you decided to take a gamble at the end of your journey, impress me with sincerity and lies, eliminate my vigilance, and then see if you can find the right time to kill me?
Or maybe you have observed me secretly, for example, I took the woman who was scared by the skeleton and put it in the corner, so you think I am a Virgin, and I am very rational and smart, so even if I suspect you are the real messenger of hell, I will not kill you, right?"
The man swallowed his throat secretly, and his extremely uneasy face was equivalent to acquiescing Lin You's reasoning and analysis.
Lin You continued: "There is also the cinema's switch, which must be turned on by you!"
"No! No!"
The man argued in horror. Lin You looked at him as he was suddenly afraid of death. He really didn't understand how such a person had gone through more than three strange journeys?
When he saw him suddenly open his mouth and still silent, when the skeleton footsteps suddenly came from the No. 1 cinema, Lin You instantly understood the whole story.
