I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Ryori Hanano is very cautious and shrewd enough. She has been watching out for Shinji by keeping an eye on every muscle on his body. As a magician who can fake her own corpse, she can predict the body's movements through the condition of its muscles.

The moment before Shen Er stepped forward, she was already on guard. Waving her sleeves is just the first step. The purpose is to buy time to activate the spell. The spell engraved on the kimono in advance is her ultimate move.

Unfortunately, she made a mistake. Her analysis of Shinji was based on the battle with Luvia two days ago. Although the data had been increased by fifty percent, Shinji's speed and strength were both suppressed that day in order to demonstrate to Gray. to less than halfway. In other words - she underestimated Shinji.

The sleeves did not stop her. At the moment when the technique was about to take shape, Shinji had already arrived in front of her, grabbed her neck, and pressed her directly against the wall behind her. The violent magic power destroyed the technique on the kimono. The magic power gathered by Shiki and Hisri Kano was completely dissipated.

"——I'm sorry, I'm more confident than you. I'll give you thirty seconds to reorganize the language."

Saying that, Shenji let go of his hand and used the dagger to press against the woman's heart.

Yes, it is difficult to kill the magician of the Legal Affairs Department, but that does not mean that one can break the heart or pierce the head and still survive.

Hanano Ryori was not in a hurry to speak. He covered his neck with his hands, coughed twice, and then took several deep breaths in a row, not caring that the expansion and expansion of his chest would touch the dagger.

Even if she was restrained, her expression remained calm.

"It's not necessary."

"Oh? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you and destroy your body? Anyway, everyone in the city knows that you are dead, and the body is just behind you."

"You won't kill me."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I'm from the Legal Affairs Department."

"This reason is invalid for me - since I dare to attack you, I am sure that the Legal Affairs Department will not find me."

As if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Shinji pushed the dagger a few centimeters forward, and the sharp tip pierced the surface of the kimono and reached the skin.

Unexpectedly, Hano Hisri not only did not panic, but also nodded seriously.

"I believe you have this ability."

"Then you are still so calm?"

"Because I also have a guess."

"Tell me."

"The Legal Affairs Department aims at the continuation of magic and the continuation of the clock tower. To this end, it can do whatever it takes. But the current lord, Lord Bartholomew, Her Majesty the Queen of the King's Landing Clock Tower, has a different view. She recognizes the Legal Affairs Department's philosophy, but does not agree with some of the practices of the Legal Affairs Section. He has been seeking reforms since taking office and has been supported and followed by many people. Among them, one person is the most mysterious. He has never appeared publicly in the Legal Affairs Section, but he helped Lord deal with the He has dealt with many thorny problems on Lord's behalf, and has dealt with some members who violated Lord's orders. No one knows his identity, and no one knows his appearance. Everyone calls him 'The Queen's Dark Hand'."

Having said this, Hano Hisri paused deliberately and stretched out his hand to Shinji.

"Now, this 'Hand of Darkness' is standing in front of me."

"..." This time it was Shenji's turn to be silent.

"Why didn't Mr. Shen say anything? Did I tell you the truth? Or maybe your name is not Shen Zhong at all. Your name and your current appearance are actually just disguises."

"Well, I was thinking about how to answer better - after thinking about it, I should use Miss Hisri's own words. Do you have any evidence?"

"No." Hisori Kano also shook his head.

then--

"Thank you for telling me such an interesting story, but without evidence it's just speculation. It's not up to par either as a detective or as a puzzle solver."

"Mr. Shen is such an interesting person. Then I will follow your words. Many times just a guess is enough. People are inherently subjective creatures, and women are often more subjective than men. Isn't there such a saying? Women’s intuition is more accurate than men’s.”

After hearing this, Shenji was really convinced. Those beautiful words that he said that seemed to be unpredictable were due to the advantage of foresight. Through the process of inferring the results, Huaye Ling was different.

She has the highest level of confidentiality on Loreleia's side, and even though the killing of "Wallachia Night" attracted worldwide attention, she managed to cover it up without any risk. In the past few years, he has traveled around the world under various identities and has never been suspected. His hometown Fuyuki City is also peaceful, which shows Lorelaia's intelligence operation skills.

Lorelaia sent herself here to prove that the person in charge here, Hanano Hisiri, was not hers, at least not her direct descendant, and it was impossible for him to know his identity. In other words, Hisori Hanano guessed his identity completely through intuition and a few clues. She was worthy of being the woman who impressed Weber in "Second World's Incident Book". Her thinking ability was indeed terrifying.

Facing such a woman, it is useless to say anything. No matter whether she admits it or not, it cannot change Hanano Ryori's thoughts. It is better to repeat the previous conversation and sow doubts.

"However, many tragedies are derived from subjective guesses. If I remember correctly, in various works of art, there are more tragic women than men - well, I am already threatening you."

In the last sentence, Hanano Hisri's lips curled up slightly: "So I can only choose to take a gamble."

The gambling here is not a simple right or wrong, if you guess right you will live, if you guess wrong you will die, but more complex psychological control.

It doesn't matter whether Shinji is the "Hand of Darkness" or not. Because Hisori Hanano did not dare to speak out about this speculation, given the importance the lord attached to the "Hand of Darkness", as long as there was the slightest hint, it was very likely that the lord would eliminate it from the source.

Therefore, what happened today will not be leaked. Hisashi Hanano poses no threat to Shinji. If there is no threat, why kill him? Judging from Shenji's previous performance, he is definitely not a simple-minded, impulsive person or someone who likes to kill. What's more, Hano Hisri still has something Shinji wants in his hands.

Shenji did not put down the dagger in a hurry, but asked enthusiastically:

"How do you know that I am not the one sent by Her Majesty the Queen to deal with you? As you said, the 'Hand of Darkness' has done many processing tasks."

"Then I can only wait for death. But I think this possibility is very low, because although I am not a follower of Her Majesty the Queen, I still agree with her reforms and have never violated her wishes. I don't think that the Queen Your Majesty will punish me and even send out the 'Hand of Darkness'."

"Then what is my 'Hand of Darkness' here to do?"

"The internal rules of the Legal Affairs Department are: don't inquire about other people's tasks. Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."

Tsk, what a profound answer.
