[Comprehensive British and American] The world is malicious

"You stay here, I'm going to the bathroom." Lear unbuttoned the top collar of his shirt, revealing his thin collarbone. The atmosphere in the hospital made him a little uncomfortable, "I'll be back soon, don't What's going on?"

Lear said with a tense face, his two dark eyebrows were frowned, and just in case, Lear opened the door and looked into the ward.

"Hey, don't worry..." Ben patted Lear's shoulder with a smile, and poked his head into the ward, "With me here guarding you, you're still afraid of a girl running away."

The two were far away from the hospital bed, and could only see a rough outline of a human figure. Above the white hospital bed was golden hair, and the rest of the body was hidden under the quilt. No outsiders approached this ward. Obviously, the person on the bed could only be Nina Roberts.

"You should rest easy now," Ben said teasingly.

"I'll go in and take a look." Lear said as he pushed the door open and walked into the ward, his light-colored eyes fixed on the person on the bed, but he looked at the window with a gap in his corner of the eye.

The cool wind blew in along the gap, and the white curtains were blown to make a "puff puff puff" sound, and there was a chill in the stuffy ward.

Lear remembered that he had never opened the window, and the woman on the hospital bed had been injected with anesthesia, so it was almost impossible to open the window.

Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Lear walked to the bed. After confirming that the person lying on the bed was indeed Nina Roberts herself, the boulder weighing on Lear's heart was finally removed.

He was indeed relieved that as long as Nina was alive and in their hands, his and Ben's lives were safe.There was no thought of resistance in his heart, even though he had never actually seen Bernardo and Andros commit a murder.

Perhaps by the day he saw it, his life was no longer his own.

Lear turned around and was about to leave. Like a gear that stopped in an instant, he stopped abruptly. He saw Ben standing by the door making the same movement as him.

A tall, thin man wearing a jacket and a mask entered the ward at some point. He stood behind Ben, holding a gun in his hand, and the black muzzle of the gun was pressed against Ben's head.

And his own condition was not much better, the muzzle of the gun was also pressed against his waist, and there was only one person who could draw the gun from this angle.

"Miss Roberts" Lear asked tentatively, the gun behind his back was slowly moving up, and then there was a thrust that forced him to stagger two steps forward.

"Your Miss Roberts is gone, boy, and good luck to you."

Before Lear understood the meaning of this sentence, he felt a dull pain in his neck, his eyes went dark, and he passed out on the ground.

"Nina" came down from the bed, kicked Lear who was lying on the ground, gestured to the tall and thin man standing by the door, and took off the blond wig on his head with his hands, revealing his black hair. short hair.

"Let's go, our mission is over. In time, Kate should lead that girl to the ferry."

■

Nina's hands were tied behind their backs with hemp ropes, and rock music blared in the car. Kate was excitedly beating time with the music, with her other hand casually resting on the steering wheel.

Fortunately, the neighborhood is deserted and there are very few cars approaching.

"Speaking of which, is he your boyfriend?" Kate was so excited that he suddenly lowered the volume and said loudly.

"Who is he?" Nina turned her head slightly and had to raise her voice.

"A boy with short blond hair, he looks prettier than many women, don't you know him?" Kate suddenly turned her head and looked at Nina suspiciously.

Nina blinked and knew that Kate was talking about Bernardo. What puzzled her was, shouldn't the person in front of her be more familiar with Bernardo? They spent a lot of effort just to take her out of the hospital come out.

Kate seemed to understand something through Nina's confused expression, she shrugged nonchalantly and said, "You don't know him either, oh, it's okay, we're just doing things for money, and the ferry is ahead."

While talking, Kate turned off the car, opened the car door and went around to the back seat, untied Nina, "He asked me to bring you here, and you will understand what to do next."

Nina nodded, moved her numb hands, and looked through the front window with dark eyes. A blue and white boat was parked at the ferry.

She remembered that there was still a bus ticket in her pocket, and it seemed that she would not need it.

Nina got out of the car and looked around as if sized up. This is a desolate and deserted ferry, with weeds growing half a person's height on both sides.It seemed as though Kate had really only been taking her to the ferry, as Nina soon heard the car start.

"Holiday town, miss, come on, come up." The sailor greeted Nina with a smile, "That will be the best tourist destination."

Bernardo found her a nice place for vacation.

This is obviously not a funny sentence, Nina thought to herself, but she still twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled at the sailor, "I believe so, am I the only one going there?"

Nina tentatively asked, and with the friendly help of the driver, she easily boarded the boat.

"Of course not. There are at least four of them. I alone have picked up four of them." The sailor said without any concealment. His dark eyes suddenly became sharp. He looked at Nina with a smile, and joked: "Miss, you don't have any weapons on you, right? Guns and the like are banned in small resort towns, because no one guarantees that you won't hurt each other."

"No, you can search, sir." Nina said, she lowered her head slightly, and happened to see the gun hidden in the bow.

"This is a necessary step, please forgive me, Miss." The sailor explained and checked briefly, "Okay, to be honest, you are one of the few people who came here without a pistol .”

"In this way, I'm still wondering who would come here without a pistol?" Nina asked, and the words of the sailor revealed at least one piece of information: nine out of ten people who came here have already realized that they are going to What will they be facing, maybe even they know Bernardo.

The sailor grinned, showing his white teeth: "Oh, it's a doctor, tall and thin, wearing a black windbreaker. I can tell someone's occupation at a glance. He is definitely a doctor, because there are always people who lie and say something else. career."

"Sit down, miss, we will be in the resort town soon."

The boat passed quickly across the sea, leaving layers of ripples, and the sea echoed with the sound of the engine. Nina kept watching the distant sea until the shadow of the island gradually appeared where the sea and the sky met.

That is probably the small resort town that the sailor said.

Nina looked at the small island that was getting closer and closer. It wasn't until the boat sailed into the pier that Nina realized that it was indeed a small town. From a distance, she could see several uneven houses.

Not far from the pier, there is a green grassland. Someone is sitting casually on the grassland, staring at the sea, and seeing a boat docked at the pier, the person sitting on the grass suddenly stands up and walks to the pier. .

"Do you want to help?" The person who was sitting on the grass stood by the pier, smiled and looked at Nina who was about to board the pier, and stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner, "I didn't expect the last one to be such a beautiful lady."

"Thank you, sir." Nina held the outstretched hand, and stepped onto the pier with a light effort. Nina retracted the hand that was held, and straightened the wrinkled hem of the clothes.

"Enzo, if you don't mind, you can call me that." Enzo put his hand into his coat pocket.

"Roberts, nice to meet you, what is the last person you just mentioned?"

Enzo looked at Nina with a slightly surprised expression, but in the next second, the surprised expression was perfectly concealed. Enzo smiled and explained: "This is a reasoning game that simulates reality, like many mystery novels. What happened: Seven people came to a strange small town, but murders happened one after another, who is the murderer hiding in the dark and manipulating everything."

"However, you can rest assured that the seven of us will act as the police to find the murderer hidden in the small town. You happen to be the seventh person." After Enzo finished speaking, he looked at Nina who was still a little confused, and couldn't help but smile. , "You probably came here by chance?"

Nina nodded, remembering what the sailor said, and turned to Enzo, "Are you a doctor?"

"No, I'm an amateur mystery novelist, but there is a doctor among the seven. I can introduce him to you later. He has a slightly weird temper."

As they said that, the two had come to the entrance of the small town, and a yellow spotted cat was approaching along the road, slipping away from their feet.

Nina stopped in her tracks suddenly, with a look of shock on her face. If she hadn't been there, she couldn't believe the appearance of this small town. It was like London a few years ago.

"I was also taken aback before. It's hard to imagine that someone can turn this island into what London is today." Enzo seemed to be used to everything.

"Maybe you can visit the Elizabeth Tower here when you find time. It's almost exactly the same as the clock tower in London. You can even see what people are doing inside." Enzo's tone revealed unconcealable excitement, which could be seen , for this mystery novelist, everything here is exciting enough.

Nina also quickly realized that the "people" Enzo mentioned were not real people, but extremely lifelike humanoid molds. They wore all kinds of clothes and were placed on both sides of the road like real pedestrians.

Through the window of the cafe, you can even see a couple sitting opposite each other and drinking coffee.

"Come on, we're at Scotland Yard now, and it's almost time."
