Chapter 71: Michael loses his waistcoat (nutrition solution will be added)
Even though he knew that the other party would not do anything to him just because he wrote a random word, Martin Nicholas suddenly broke into a cold sweat on his back.
He comforted himself crazily in his heart.
If he is an angel, of course he will not do anything to him. After all, angels are kind and benevolent. If he is not an angel, then there is no reason to be dissatisfied because he suspects that he is an angel, because his guess is a compliment to his character.
.
But the emotion of nervousness was uncontrollable. Martin's heart was pounding in his chest and almost jumped out of his throat.
This nervousness was not simply because he had been thinking about the other party in private and was discovered by himself, but more because "the angel was standing by my side and even helped me write a lot of meeting minutes." This speculation made him both excited and excited.
Panic.
Martin Nicholas opened his mouth, and with a blank mind, he squeezed out a sentence from his dry throat: "Because you are very similar to Saint George..."
Michael was confused when he heard this: "Ah? Did you leave a portrait?"
"...?" Martin Nicholas suddenly came back to his senses. Due to excessive stimulation, he fell into a calm state. "How did you know it was a portrait?"
Michael was even more confused: "Didn't you say they are similar?"
Martin Nicholas' eyes were complicated: "Why don't you think I meant a name or something else..."
Michael got stuck.
Here, Martin discovered a blind spot.
Michael quickly used his little brain and found an excuse, explaining: "Because the name can't be described as like, it's obviously the same, they are all George, right? This kind of thing is generally used to describe reality.
There are some deviations, such as portraits and so on.”
Martin said in a subtle tone: "I thought it was because you knew that Saint George looks a lot like you..."
"..." Michael forced a smile, "Well, it's just a coincidence. I'm also surprised."
Although he didn't know what happened before, Lucifer, who had just returned, felt something bad after just hearing these two sentences.
Michael...his words are too imprecise!
If Lucifer, who just came to this world, sounds like everything is in Chinese, then after he scanned all the materials in the library and got to know the grammar of this world, he can tell the difference between this world and the Chinese language.
Those subtle details in language.
Take what Michael just said as an example. It is probably because Martin gave some wrong hints before. Michael actually only used the words "I know there is such a picture. I have seen it. I have also seen it."
"I'm surprised we look alike" is a grammar that is only used in this situation. Isn't this for nothing!?
As expected, Martin's eyes became more complicated.
If it were the relationship between ancestors and descendants, it would not be so difficult to talk about. But if Saint George and Mr. George were the same person, this attitude would be easier to understand... But how can humans live so long?
This is another piece of evidence to verify his conjecture.
Michael noticed Lucifer's arrival and cast a rare look for help.
He is really not good at dealing with this kind of problem!!! I always feel like he said something wrong!!!
A majestic Battle Angel, when did he ever ask for help from others? Martin is quite awesome in some respects.
After receiving Michael's distress signal, Lucifer gave him a look that said, "It's hopeless, just wait to die, take your leave." Then he planned to exit pretending that he didn't exist.
Michael suddenly became anxious: "Lucy...!"
At this moment, Martin Nicholas, who was as clear-headed and calm as if possessed by a god, turned his head and saw Lucifer.
Lucifer's movement to retreat froze for a moment, and then naturally resumed his steps forward.
If he runs away after being discovered, he will definitely be suspected. The best defense is to attack, so he might as well come over.
What a pity. He had asked Satan and Michael before. Neither of them knew how to manipulate human memory, otherwise why would so many things have happened.
If memory could be manipulated, Lucifer would not only correct the other party's suspicions, but also pour all the knowledge he knew into the minds of these people, so that they could make crazy inventions and create things, pushing the world into the fourth industry in one fell swoop.
revolution……
Alas, it's a pity, now I can only study it step by step.
When he walked in front of Martin Nicholas, Lucifer had already sorted out the messy thoughts in his mind, and put on an indifferent expression that was no different from before.
"What's wrong?"
"We were talking about the resemblance between St. George and Mr. George."
In fact, Martin Nicholas almost asked the other party directly if he was the angel who came to the church before, but if Lucifer came, he could only put the question aside.
Martin Nicholas was like an artificial intelligence at this moment, abandoning all unnecessary emotions just to find out an answer.
Lucifer was not fooled.
He was different from Michael. Michael knew that the other party was already doubting him, so he didn't take any precautions. But he could bounce back this temptation!
So Lucifer looked at Michael in an unexpected tone and said, "You look a lot like St. George?"
The implication was that this was the first time he had heard of it.
Michael was shocked: "...???"
Wait? Luci, are you planning to really ignore me?
Martin didn't find any flaws in Lucifer, and he didn't think Lucifer was an angel in the first place - otherwise, how could the Garden of Eden be so virtuous that angels would appear in droves - so he quickly accepted it.
The sage is a human being." This answer is intended to put the focus back on Michael.
He thought that the information he had gathered through testing was enough and he could be a little more direct.
Lucifer, who had removed himself, pretended not to know anything and said, "Are you all tired from remembering? Do you want me to take over the meeting minutes?"
Martin took a deep breath and handed the notebook and pen to Lucifer very solemnly: "I'm sorry, but I'd like to ask you to take over for the time being."
If it weren't for the fact that some words had been swirling in his mind for several days, and now they had reached the limit, and he would really choke to death if he didn't ask, Martin was unwilling to trouble Lucifer with anything.
Lucifer took the notebook and pen and deliberately walked a little further away from Michael and Martin before sitting down.
Martin thought that Lucifer wanted to get closer to Leonardo da Vinci who was discussing with Babbage, so he was not surprised. After making sure that his work was not delayed, he looked at Michael again.
He looked at the other party seriously, and taking advantage of his excellent condition, he asked the question that he had wanted to say several times before but had not said.
"Excuse me...are you human?"
"..."
There was a moment of silence.
But at this time, silence is actually the answer.
Martin's mind was noisy again.
It's true! It's true! His guess is true!
Michael hesitated for three seconds before asking: "Why do you ask?"
"Please sit down and talk."
After Martin Nicholas settled his worries, he no longer looked suspicious and trembling as before, but regained the respect and reason that church members should have when facing angels.
The question that had been bothering him for many days was finally answered. He no longer had to worry about whether he was overthinking what the angel wanted to do. He could directly ask whether it would offend the other party. Anyway, he had already done it.
How bad could it be?
Michael sighed and sat next to Martin Nicholas.
He also knew that if he did not refute or show surprise at the first time, he was actually exposed.
However, he was so used to smiling that he didn't even think of changing his expression in this situation just now. What a big mistake. If Satan knew about it, he could smile for a thousand years!
Luci, on the other hand, is really skilled...
Michael cursed while opening the soundproof barrier.
There is no way, one learns from every experience. Since he has been exposed in front of Martin Nicholas, what he should do now is to lock the truth within this scope and not expand it any further. In this case, it is guaranteed that no more people will hear them.
The dialogue is very important.
"How did you find out?" Michael asked puzzledly.
"Some coincidences." Martin's mood was also very complicated. He didn't expect that the angel would behave like this on weekdays...
In order to avoid making the same mistakes again, Michael planned to learn a lesson, so he said: "Tell me more about it, I'm a little curious."
So Martin Nicholas started from the beginning and explained why he began to pay attention to Michael and connected him with angels.
Listening to Martin's story, Michael's eyes became more and more complicated and his smile gradually disappeared.
"...That's pretty much it. I originally wanted to wait to see the thunderstorm, but just now you saw the wrong spelling of 'Saint George', so I just asked directly. I hope I won't cause any trouble to you."
After Martin Nicholas finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the angel is not angry, and his behavior is probably not offensive. It may be explained as a little too much curiosity.
Michael was silent for a while.
This...why do you still get the correct answer despite making so many mistakes?!
