Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 47 Abandoned Pawns (Part 2)

Everyone has habits.

Habits arise from differences in living environments and personal preferences. From a large perspective, it is the inevitable result of natural selection and the natural law of survival of the fittest. From a small perspective, differences in personal interests and aspirations can also lead to habits.

Most of the habits in this world are the same, but some habits only belong to individuals.

Most of the special habits that belong to individuals are usually caused by their unique personalities, just as some people like to sleep with the lights on, some people like to look around when walking, Bill Gates likes to shake his body when he speaks, and so on.

Once these habits are formed, they often become a sign of a person and accompany them for life.

Perhaps because of living in a dangerous environment for a long time, Xiuyi is used to maintaining a high degree of vigilance at all times. When he talks to people, he likes to lower his head slightly so that people can't see his expression clearly. This seemingly humble performance effectively protected him on Lian Lian Island.

In addition, he likes to stay in a corner against the wall, so that he can observe his surroundings from a maximum angle.

His right hand likes to support his chin, that's because it makes it easier for him to make a quick shot.

His left hand is always habitually placed in his trouser pocket, so no one will know what he is secretly holding in his left hand.

Whenever he is proud, the corners of his mouth will be slightly tilted to one side, and his eyes will be shining with excitement.

Sometimes he would unconsciously put the middle finger and index finger of his right hand on his temples, and then waved them out smartly, making a very modern movement. Such actions are almost invisible in this world, because they have no meaning here.

Most of the time, these habits are not harmful to him, and some are even beneficial to him. But at some critical moments, these habits are fatal.

What puzzled Huey was that he himself had paid as much attention to these details as possible and improved them. When he incarnated into different identities, he tried to avoid using different action habits. He was sure that he had done a good job in this regard, and even if he showed it occasionally, it must not be the standard for Raschel to determine that he was Sisser. So he couldn't figure out how Raschel could tell.

"Can you tell me what you saw?" Huey asked.

"About this question, I also want to ask you. Hugh Igleser, what made you, a timid boy who loved to cry, suddenly become so mature and wise? According to what I learned from the Harden family, the Hugh Igles they knew was definitely not the one sitting in front of me. The Hugh Igles sitting in front of me was cunning, vicious, cruel, and tolerant. It's unimaginable that you were a good boy when you were a servant at home. I believe you at that time would never hold out your middle finger to Baron and Baroness..."

Huey was stunned.

Only then did he realize that his right hand extended his middle finger unconsciously, and it was this movement that exposed him.

"Although I don't know what that means, Hugh Igleser, I noticed that you often make this gesture when you are angry and dissatisfied, especially when you are facing someone you don't like. I mean, whether it's Sissard Daniel or Hugh Iglesle, it will be like this. Although I've never seen such a gesture before, I believe it definitely doesn't mean friendliness."

Speaking of this, Raschel laughed: "You have too many unique habits, some of which are unconscious, and some of which are developed on purpose. They help you avoid omissions and keep you on high alert, but they also make you different from others. In the past, I only had contact with Hugh Igles in battle, and had no contact with peacetime. I only had contact with Sisther Darnell in peacetime, but not in battle. So I can't find out what you have in common. But today, from your appointment From the moment I saw me, I found too many shadows of Sissadaniel in you. The most certain thing is your movement. I guess you can still control the habits you have deliberately developed, but you can’t control some movement habits to vent your inner emotions. Maybe you didn’t notice it at all, and you always stretched out your middle finger to people you don’t like. "

Xiu Yi looked helplessly at her middle finger, and slowly retracted it.

It turned out that such an unconscious action exposed himself.

Raschel, who is good at capturing details, caught Huey's unique habit almost instantly.

If Hugh Igleser and Sissy Darnell both like to wave their hands and twist their buttocks, Raschel would not find such habits weird. But if these habits are not so common, the problem is obvious.

The movement of showing the middle finger is unique to Xiuyi. In any corner of the world, no one has ever expressed inner disdain in this way, but he did not expect to be caught by Raschel.

"There is no need to continue Madam, Mr. Raschel, you really admire me. I also know that I have some habits that are different from others." Xiu Yi spread his hands, and he really couldn't explain much about these actions: "But you also understand that the reason why habits are habits is because they are often produced unconsciously. If you want to change them, you must always pay attention. Unfortunately, I have been busy with various arrangements these years, in order to survive...so I have no time to discover and correct myself. Fortunately, these habits are not. It will cause too much harm to me, people will only feel a little weird, but it will not have a fundamental impact. Of course, your appearance is an exception."

In fact, no matter whether it is Sissard Daniel or Hugh Iglell, there are many strange habits like this, and they have been shown more than once. But the most frequently used and the most definite meaning is precisely this action.

Expressions of hatred and disdain are always the most direct.

Huey had used this hand gesture when he first met Sissard Daniel in a bar in Royal City to express his anger at accidentally bumping into Raschel.

At that time, Raschel felt that this person was a little weird, because he had never seen such a strange action.

Later, when Huey took Lieur Boger away in the central square, he made some very chic but incomprehensible gestures—V-signs representing victory and pride, so the same weird feeling arose in Raschel's heart.

Another strange movement he had never seen before.

Raschel began to have a feeling that the two teenagers were very similar.

At that time, he really connected Huey and Sisser together.

He interpreted this as intuition and trusted it, so although Huey had successfully fooled him, it could not relieve his suspicions.

Therefore, Raschel's intuition is not so much an intuition as it is the confusion caused by the incomprehension of various details.

Later, when they met on Clearwater Street, after Hampton reversed the energy storm and almost killed Xiu Yi, Xiu Yi's right hand seemed to move. Since Xiuyi was in the sky and it was dark night, Raschel didn't see the movement clearly, so he couldn't confirm it.

Later in the Royal Garden, Sissadaniel made this action again. It is a pity that Prince Frank's testimony confused him greatly. Although he suspected that there was a ghost in it, he still couldn't believe that Huey and Richard Kleiman would be together.

You must know that before this, they had no chance of getting in touch with it. You must know that Richard Kleiman had just arrived in Warrington that day.

until today.

He and Xiu Yi sat face to face and talked together, and he finally saw Xiu Yiglier and his various habits up close for the first time.

Although this kind of performance has been weakened by Xiu Yi's attention, when he mentioned Xiu Yi's aunt, the hidden memory in Xiu Yi's heart made him show contempt and hatred, and stretched out the middle finger completely unconsciously.

In Raschel's eyes, it was as brilliant as the brightest light in the dark night.

That was exactly what he expected.

He was finally sure that this unique young man who seemed not to belong to this world was Sissadaniel.

As Xiu Yi once said: Hunters catch prey, half rely on experience, half rely on intuition. Experience and intuition are complementary to each other. Intuition without experience is unreliable, it is called blindness.

"You are Sissy Darnell." So he immediately said that very affirmative sentence.

—————————————

I drank a cup of tea and calmed down a bit.

Xiu Yi was a little helpless: "This is a habit I developed when I was in my hometown, and it represented a strong insult. When I was in Purgatory Island, I had to endure the anger in my heart, but there was always a point to vent my feelings. In order to prevent Andrew from seeing the anger in my heart, I pinned my emotional catharsis on this kind of action. Before today, only I understood the meaning of it, and many people thought it was meaningless." Please don't think my middle finger is for you, I'm for my aunt."

Raschel also smiled and said, "I know, that's exactly why I mentioned your aunt. Anyway, I still want to thank you for not denying the facts this time. This shows that my efforts these days have not been in vain."

"There is no need to deny it anymore." Xiuyi shook his head: "Even if you know it, so what? Tell the whole world that Sissar Dardanelle is Xiu Iglesia? You once identified me in the Royal Garden, but you failed. If you continue to say this, people will think that you have tried to spread rumors to slander a nobleman, and you will be punished. Of course, I will release the word that you tried to blackmail the Dardanelles. If you have the right to order me to be arrested again. To me, you are no different from an ordinary passer-by. You don’t even have the qualifications to inform. So what else should I worry about?”

Raschel also froze, shaking his head slightly bitterly: "You're right, Hugh Igleser. The higher-ups dismissed me, and this has something to do with you, right? Prince Frank personally perjured you, so does this mean that you and the Franks have joined forces? Yes, I should have thought of it a long time ago. There is a huge crisis in the empire. It is no longer a wise decision to arrest you. They will finally bow their heads."

Xiu Yi spread his hands: "It's a matter of time. The purpose of the battle is to fight for rights and interests. When the rights and interests I need are about to be obtained, the battle will come to an end."

"In this case, why do you still ask me those questions? Why do you still try to make up for your own shortcomings? If it's just for strength, you only need to concentrate on cultivation."

"Power is for conquering, not leading. Mind is."

"But judging from the current situation, the Lance Empire will not force you anymore. Is it still necessary for you to develop your own power?"

"There is no never-ending war in the world, and there is no permanent peace. Don't you understand this truth? Be prepared for everything."

There was a strange light in Raschel's eyes: "Hugh Igles, maybe you haven't realized that your greatest strength lies in your thinking. It's unimaginable, how can you understand so many principles? You are only seventeen years old, but your understanding of the situation is even deeper than mine. This is definitely not something an ordinary child can do."

Raschel said this completely from the heart. As an agent, it is normal to start investigating criminals through details. Raschel believes that no one is better than him in details. But Xiu Yi's understanding of the overall situation far exceeded his expectations. Whether it is the previous behavior on Purgatory Island or the various practices after leaving the island, all of them have a profound and far-reaching impact on the Lance Empire in terms of the situation.

During the contact with Xiu Yi, Raschel also found that Xiu Yi has a fully mature philosophy of life and a way of thinking that does not belong to a teenager at all. It is these things that make him grow up in adversity and grow rapidly.

Even a nobleman might not be able to say what Xiu Yi said just now, but Xiu Yi casually said it as common sense, which really surprised Raschel, who couldn't understand how Xiu Yi had these thoughts.

"Then, let's bring the topic back. Apart from my aunt, who else have you prepared?" Huey stared at Raschel.

"I've already told you a plan, and you guarantee that Padgett will be fine. As for the others, if you can't come up with it, I won't tell you."

"Dementia." Xiu Yi said coldly.

Raschel's body trembled violently, and his face was a little ugly: "Your Highness also told you?"

"Are you going to catch her?" Xiu Yi said with strong sarcasm.

Sighing, Raschel took out a piece of paper, wrote a name on it and handed it to Xiu Yi: "The Violet Song and Dance Troupe, there are my people in it, this is the name. Promise me not to kill him. They will soon arrive in Winnington."

Xiu Yi's eyes sparkled: "How did you know the relationship between the song and dance troupe and me?"

"No conspiracy can last forever, and this sentence is given to you for free. Well, Xiu Yiglaer, these are all my plans, and I have already told you all. Although I am a bit useless as an old man, I am not so greedy for life and fear of death that I betray myself. I don't need you to treat me, just treat it as a gift for you to invite me to drink tea today. The empire no longer needs me, and it is meaningless for me to stay here. I think I should return to Shenzhen and Hong Kong and continue to be my sheriff."

With that said, Raschel turned and left the teahouse.

The back is full of loneliness and depression.

He could have won Xiu Yi, as long as he proceeded according to his plan, even if Xiu Yi passed the first hurdle, there would still be new crises waiting for him.

No one can always win, always be lucky.

Huey and Raschel are very aware of this.

It's a pity that he still lost his chance after all. The empire no longer needs an enemy like Xiu Yiglaer, especially after the Franks came forward.

"Mr. Raschel." Huey called out suddenly.

"Anything else?" Raschel didn't even bother.

"Think about it, follow me. I can give you what the empire can't give you."

As if being hit by an electric shock, Raschel's body shook a few times, and he slowly turned back to look at Xiu Yi.

"Do you know what I want?"

"An environment that allows you to show your strengths. You have enough ability, wisdom and talent, but the empire didn't give you a chance to show it. When you were about to succeed, they chose to abandon you. Why do you have to work for such a country?"

Raschel stared at Xiu Yi for a long while, and then said word by word: "Hui Igleer, I admit that you are an outstanding young man, but that doesn't mean you can let anyone listen to you. I am old and my thinking has aged, and I can't adapt to changes in the situation. In my eyes, the enemy of the country is the enemy of the country. No matter how many compromises there are in the middle, the nature will not change. I am not like you young people. , can’t change my principles and ambitions. Do you know what I want? Guardian, law enforcement under the sun; justice, to be an excellent prosecutor; glory, use my ability to exchange for the respect of the world, to prove that I am no worse than anyone. Unfortunately, you can’t give me these. Because you are the destroyer of the peace and order of the empire, the biggest enemy of the Lance Empire, the criminal who caused terror and killing, and the object of justice. No criminal can escape this shackle, and that is exactly what I care How can you imagine that a person like me will follow someone like you to do things, and then be scolded by future generations?"

"You are mistaken, Monsieur Lascher, there is a criminal who can throw off the shackles of all injustice."

"Oh, I've never heard of it."

Xiu Yi smiled slightly: "Is that true? Isn't the Rose Monarch one of them?"

Raschel was shocked when he heard the sound.

Huey said loudly: "History tells us that no order in the world can last forever. The old order will be broken one day, and the original rulers will step down. Standing on the ruins of the past are often the biggest criminals in the old order. With their success, all the notoriety will disappear, and what will be left to future generations will only be eternal miracles."

"So, Mr. Raschel, stop being persistent. You don't represent justice, you just represent the Lance Empire. You may be capable, but you are definitely not as noble as you think..."
