Quadruple split

The deduction and confrontation between the two old men did not go to the end, because Teresa is a child with a particularly regular biological clock. Under Richard's careful care, although the girl has not come out of the shadows over the years, her physical condition has also deteriorated due to a very small body. The relationship with sports is weaker than that of her peers, but she is still a relatively healthy child.

Three meals a day must be delicious, and when it is time to rest, you must rest on time. No matter how much you pamper Theresa, these two are Richard's bottom line.

Because of this, even though she sneaked into the opposite office on a whim, Teresa still became drowsy after being briefly active, and was carried back to sleep by Richard.

Of course, even if Teresa wasn't sleepy, the two of them probably wouldn't be in the mood to finish the game.

The reason is self-evident.

…

"Are you sure Teresa isn't looking at your podium?"

Standing behind Andre with his hands behind his hands, Richard, with a slender face, confirmed to the former for the seventh time: "Really not?"

Andre was not impatient, but said calmly: "Even if I drank some wine today and ignored a child without murderous intent who walked into this room, there is no way she could sneak into this room unless she had legendary skills. Behind me, and given her height, if she wants to see the operating table clearly, she may have to stand on a stool."

"But that doesn't make sense..."

Richard frowned and rubbed his forehead. The drunkenness he had before had long dissipated and disappeared: "If she hadn't seen it, how could she have seen through the location of your command center at a glance."

Andre turned to look at Richard and shook his head slightly: "You know that child better than I do. If you don't even know, how can I know."

"well."

Richard sighed, sat down on the other side of the sand table again, and said hesitantly: "Andre... do you think it's possible that Theresa just happened to point at your command center? I mean... Is this a coincidence?"

Andre nodded slightly and said: "This is the most realistic explanation, but this explanation is difficult to convince me, Richard. I think this explanation is also difficult to convince you."

"Yes, a nine-year-old girl found out Andrei Kalinin's command center just by luck. Who would believe this kind of thing, but..."

Richard lightly knocked on the table and said no more.

"But it would be even more incredible if she found it through something other than luck."

Andre said the second half of the sentence for Richard, and each poured half a glass of wine into the glasses in their hands: "That's right?"

Richard nodded silently, his expression serious.

"It's not an option to keep worrying like this."

Andre casually pressed the reset button on the edge of the sand table, and while operating something quickly on the panel, he asked: "You should still remember the troop strength, environment, position situation and personnel distribution on your side just now, right? "

Richard twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a gloomy expression: "Who do you think you are talking to?"

"That'll be easy."

Andre nodded and said solemnly: "Then the two of us will verify it and start reviewing it now."

"Review?"

Richard raised his eyebrows, and while quickly inputting various parameters into the system, he and Andre re-enacted the random deduction just now, and asked: "What do you mean?"

Andrei smoothly reset the combat power assigned to him by the main system, and said dryly: "Did you forget? The kid said at that time, 'But it's too late.'"

Richard was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the battlefield in front of him that was exactly the same as the previous one with a solemn expression, and murmured: "So, It seems that Teresa did say when she first came, let me move the right wing The troops will be pulled to your supply line, etc., but..."

"If little Teresa thinks that's 'too late', let's give it a try."

Andre interrupted Richard and said in a deep voice: "Let's repeat the starting operation of the previous game as completely as possible. As long as we find the rhythm, it is not difficult to restore the scene at that time, and then match the fighting situation when the child spoke. , you should be able to tell something."

"good."

Richard nodded and answered simply.

Immediately, the two restarted the game in the 'custom battle' mode, replicating their previous operations meticulously.

Fourteen minutes later

"stop!"

"It should be about this time!"

Richard and Andre said almost at the same time, immediately pausing the current deduction.

Then--

"How can this be!"

Richard stood up suddenly, staring directly at the supply line that was supposed to be covered by Andre's left wing but was almost undefended at this moment. He asked in a dry voice: "How could you make such a stupid mistake?"

"Did you see it at the time? If you didn't see it, it's not considered low-level, and it's not called a mistake."

Andre's voice was also hoarse, and he said in a deep voice: "I was preparing to conduct a probing attack on you. Due to the frequent deployment of troops, the supply line near the left wing will probably be closed for less than half an hour... In other words, a defensive vulnerability that takes less than two minutes on the simulation table is unavoidable."

"Teresa noticed...and..."

Richard swallowed and started the deduction process again: "If I do what she said at that time and just push the right wing that is used to hide the bottom..."

Under his command, the right wing of the blue side on the sand table instantly turned into a torrent, rushing forward towards the red side's supply line that seemed impregnable at first, but was actually extremely empty.

Andre, while urgently deploying the nearest troops to intercept, continued: "Under this premise, if you determine the location of my command center and I don't know about it..."

"That'll be it."

While Richard was inputting orders at a dizzying speed, he was staring at the right-wing troops that had completely cut off one of the main supply lines of the red side, and let the almost thinned blue arrow rush straight towards a certain place. direction.

"I can't stop it."

Andre sighed and spoke in a determined tone while desperately directing the nearby troops to carry out rescue. But as he said, the blue side's actions were too fast, too urgent, and too decisive. On both sides, With a small gap in the quality of the troops, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to slow down Richard's right wing, which directly smashed the command center.

After that, Richard's right wing was completely wiped out by the fierce counterattack of the remaining Red Army soldiers, but they no longer accepted Andre's orders. The leaderless Red Army was ultimately helpless and was quickly annihilated by Richard. .

"It seems I won."

Richard, who didn't look very happy, breathed a sigh of relief.

"If we follow the rules of the game just now..."

Andre drank the red wine in his glass and reminded: "The moment my command center is taken away, the deduction will be over."

Richard also picked up the wine glass and nodded casually.

Neither of them spoke for the next few minutes.

Finally, Andre broke the silence...

"So, what did we witness?"

He stood up, walked slowly to the door, and asked softly.

"We see a poor girl tortured by her past take her first steps, and that's it."

Richard's answer came from behind, calm and indifferent.

Andre smiled rarely. He nodded slightly and looked back at his 'old friend': "I will come over early tomorrow."

Richard snorted softly, and after Andre had opened the door and took half a step, he said slowly: "I regret it a little."

"What do you regret?"

"Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to teach her."

"You mean deduction?"

"I mean war."

"..."

"..."

…

The next day, little Teresa took the initiative to say good morning to Richard for the first time, which made this unsmiling man almost cry on the spot. After she showed interest in that 'game', she tortured herself for a while. Wan's worries were put behind him, and he held the girl and sat next to the sand table in the center of the office for a whole morning.

The disguised Andre also sneaked into the [Danu Military Academy] during the public lunch break in Academy City, and shaved off his beard for the first time, making his angular face less vicious.

After walking into Richard's office, Andre's face looked very ugly, because he had also been tortured by the worry about the war all night, so he wanted to fall out with the former on the spot, but after little Theresa Deng Deng He trotted up to him, and after almost falling to his knees, he expressed that he wanted to play deduction with a "less vicious uncle". The speed at which Andre rushed to the sand table was comparable to that of a goblin high explosive behind him. Bullets are chasing.

After that, the famous general Andrei Kalinen, who had served in the Silver Alliance for thirty years and was known as the Iron Emperor, played seventeen games with little Teresa.

The record is eight losses and nine wins.

From an objective point of view, Andre seemed to have won, but his opponent was a nine-year-old girl who didn't even know what deductions were about half a day ago!

"Hello……"

At the stall where Teresa was concentrating on finishing her meal, Richard quietly asked Andre: "You must have lost your temper, right?"

"You don't really think I'd seriously fight a nine-year-old, do you?"

"In the last game, you should be serious."

"I guess so……"

"how do you feel?"

"In the first game, I probably used one-twentieth of my level, and I won."

"Um."

"In the second game, I still played at one-twentieth level and lost."

"Um……"

"The third game, one-tenth level, won."

"Um."

"The fourth game, one-tenth level, lost."

"……Um."

"You know what I'm thinking about now?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"If you can, never let me play the eighteenth game with that girl."

"..."

Richard didn't say anything at the time, but in fact, in the next nearly ten years, neither he nor Andre ever played deductions with Teresa in any form.

All in all, from that day on, Teresa slowly changed.

As Richard said, the girl tortured by her past had indeed taken her first step.

Teresa became cheerful at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. She became smiling and clingy. She even took the initiative to let Richard read bedtime stories to her, which made Richard happy. The thing is, although the girl likes deduction games very much, she prefers to listen to stories about princesses and princes, princesses and dragons, princes and dragons, and princes than reading books such as "One Thousand and One Battles" and "Collection of Famous Battles in History". A romantic fairy tale with a prince.

Although they felt like something was wrong, Richard and Andre were still very happy. At least Teresa did not become a war maniac.

Teresa is a very smart girl. As for how smart she is specifically, we can understand that if a book spirit was born in the library of [Danu Military Academy], then Teresa would definitely know no less than the latter. .

The autistic look before, in Theresa's own words, was just 'fear of going out', but when she really went out, it was nothing.

So, in most cases, she is just a very normal girl although she is very afraid of strangers and not very good at communicating with others.

Five years later, under the arrangement of Richard, Teresa Tarosha officially entered the [Danu Military Academy], and the previous room on the third underground floor was replaced by a dormitory like everyone else.

Both Richard and Andre felt that the fourteen-year-old Theresa should not always deal with old people like them, but should make some friends closer to her age.

Their idea is not wrong. After all, although Teresa is very tolerant of these two people, but in other cases... In her own words, she will still be so nervous that her stomach hurts in front of strangers, so don't talk about making friends. Now, I almost never leave my room.

That's why Richard got tough, and Andre also agreed and supported it 100%.

Go to school, go to school and make friends.

As Teresa’s ‘home’ for eight years, [Danu Military Academy] was naturally the only choice.

And Teresa, who also knew that she couldn't go on like this, finally agreed.

In fact, she did make some friends, such as Foster Ward and Lian Yuri, who were only sophomores when Theresa first entered school, and Kaluz Weber and Mellie, who will graduate after this year. ·Mao, such as the Qianniao Yao in the same dormitory and several girls in the class.

Although she couldn't compare with most ordinary people, Teresa was no longer alone after all, and as Andre and Richard expected, she began to live happily as an 'ordinary girl'.

That's right.

Teresa Tarossa is an ordinary girl. At best, she can be said to be an ordinary girl who is smart, kind, shy, introverted, gentle and lovely.

As long as she is not allowed to sit in the command seat or in front of the sand table...

The [Witch] will not wake up.
