“Historically, the way in which politicians have solved crises has generally been as follows: showing a bad and worse future, convincing various forces and class groups that originally had conflicting interests and refused to give in to each other to accept the proposal, and making compromises in order to avoid greater losses.

, make concessions and sacrifices, and then use the benefits concessioned by all parties to fill the loopholes that caused the crisis."

to re-establish balance.

"Emerald Mystery City... So now, the Emerald City is no longer a mystery, it is considered stable, and my brother can no longer hold you back," Xi Lai's eyes sternly asked, "What about what you promised me?"

Thales, who was originally smiling, fell into a deep expression.

And Hilley's eyes were extremely sharp, staring at him eagerly.

"I know."

He looked back at Sheila seriously:

"I'll do it."

Xi Lai did not speak, but just stared at him for a long time, then snorted and looked away.

"That's good."

Thales gritted his teeth.

It was quiet in the dungeon.

Hilley looked at the motionless killer in front of him and suddenly said: "Do they like each other?"

Thales was startled:

"What?"

Xi Lai sighed quietly:

"You said, 'Southerners' Miss Hyman and Regina, when they got married, did they really like each other?"

She turned to look at Thales with clear eyes:

"Or do you have to do it for the sake of the overall situation?"

This question stumped Thales.

"I don't know." He lowered his head and looked at the damp ground in the dungeon.

Hilley snorted unsurprisingly.

"I knew you would say that."

"Please, they were people from hundreds of years ago," Thales said solemnly, looking at the darkness in the dungeon, "I really don't know."

"Is it."

Hilley looked in the other direction.

"Then I guess, at that time, they themselves..."

Xi Lai slightly curled his lips:

"I don't know either."

Upon hearing this, Thales was silent at first, and then chuckled.

"Maybe."

The silence lasted for a while. Finally, Xi Lai couldn't hold it any longer and took a deep breath.

"Now, killer," the eldest lady stood up, crossed her hands, and stretched her arms, "we have talked a lot to you here, and you should know what your situation is, but you haven't been touched at all.

No indication?"

Lausanne II was expressionless and motionless.

Thales also had to stand up and frowned:

"We just want to know: How much do you know about Federico and the old case of the assassination of the Duke of Leinster?"

Lausanne II remained silent, like a stone statue.

Hilley was a little impatient:

"Or do you want to open your heart in another way and speak your mind?"

Hearing "Open Your Heart", Thales suddenly felt bad.

Heilai sneered and said:

"Maybe, meet your old friend from last time? What's his name? Joaquin?"

Whoa!

The effect of this name was immediate. The stone statues on the ground suddenly came to life, and the chains on their bodies shook under the struggle.

"You will go to hell," Lausanne II twisted his head and gritted his teeth with deep hatred, "Monster!"

Thales' heart sank.

"That's after you," Seeing that the threat was effective, Shilai showed a satisfied smile and moved his fingers, "It's too soft to eat. It seems that you really miss your old friend..."

Lausanne II's eyes turned red, and he subconsciously wanted to stay away from the girl in front of him.

It seemed that it was not a girl, but some kind of ferocious beast.

"Don't worry, it will only take five minutes. I guarantee that you will reveal everything about how many lovers your mother has..."

At this moment, Thales held down Hilley's wrist:

"Hile."

The eldest lady turned back in confusion:

"how?"

Thales took a deep breath.

"Please, don't be it," he said seriously and solemnly, "don't be the soul bone."

Hearing this name, Xi Lai's face darkened.

"The soul bone is its code name," the eldest lady said calmly, "I usually call it Jacques."

Thales let go of her hand and shook his head slowly but firmly:

"Not Jacques."

Hilley snorted softly and turned to the trembling prisoner:

"If you don't dare to look, you can go out first..."

“Have you gone out to see how Slimani is doing?”

Hilley made a move.

She turned back and looked directly at Thales.

"Okay, I know you are pedantic and soft-hearted," she said with a helpless expression, and her tone was slightly softer, "but this guy, this bastard who gets paid to kill people, is not a good person. He has a lot of blood debt, and he deserves to die..."

"It has nothing to do with who he is."

Thales shook his head:

"It just has to do with who we are."

Lausanne II on the ground had his eyes open, originally staring at Hilley, and then looking at Thales.

Hilley's smile disappeared.

"Mr. Thales, Teacher Thales, Thales is a great person," she said sarcastically, "If you like to teach others so much and like to teach me how to do things on my territory, you will even have to interrogate me..."

"Please, Shirley," this time it was Thales' turn to soften his tone, almost begging, "for the sake of me lending you the dagger."

Hilley was speechless.

She looked at Thales with a sincere expression and snorted disdainfully.

"Okay," Xi Lai touched the dagger on his waist and rolled his eyes, "Then, give me the dagger?"

Thales' eyes moved:

"What?"

"How about giving me the dagger and we just follow your method, no matter how pedantic it is?"

Thales looked back at her in surprise.

He looked at the JC on the other person's waist, his lips moved, and finally he sighed:

"Please, Shirley."

"Oh, reluctant?"

"I can give you other things, as long as they are from Star Lake Castle... But this dagger was given to me by a very important friend. It saved my life..."

But Hilley raised his finger.

"No, no, no, this has nothing to do with who gave you the dagger..."
