The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2509

[Two thousand four hundred and seventy one step by step]

It was a very, very subtle feeling. Cameron only felt that the goose bumps on his back were slowly creeping up, as if the cold air was gradually spreading, tempting/tempting him to want to oppress some more and more. Some, like a cat-and-mouse game, are enjoying the good show in front of them.

The slightly flickering eyes in the depths of the drooping eyelids, the unconsciously pursed corners of the mouth, the gently pulled shirt lines revealing the tightness of the shoulders, and the seemingly relaxed but stiff right knee… Those details, a Each place is magnified in the sight and in the mind, presenting a whole new world.

A world like a black hole.

Then all of Cameron’s attention was drawn, and he could faintly detect the gradual push, as if he was getting closer to Renly, blood and red flags surging in his mind, but he But not at all afraid, but enjoy it.

In a trance, Cameron couldn’t tell whether he was Cameron or… Edmund, there was only one thought in his mind at this time:

“Blood.”

He, longing for blood.

“That report didn’t…” Horton tried to find an accurate word to describe his thoughts, but when he stopped, his brain was still not able to give enough help, or he couldn’t explain his situation at all, which made him He got into trouble.

Later, Horton realized that there was no answer and no explanation. At least, he could not give a reasonable explanation now, and trying to find excuses might be full of loopholes.

The thought made Horton a little frustrated, and the nervous exhaustion seemed to be spreading the negative thoughts.

Hold your breath.

Holden made a gesture of holding his breath to avoid taking a deep breath to avoid causing Edmund’s idea, and then directly cut off the negative emotions in his mind, not letting himself continue to sink in the drowning state, and then said, “I… drank some alcohol at the time.”

Instead of defending, he frankly admitted his mistake. This is the best stop loss method that Horton can come up with at the moment.

Edmund tilted his head slightly and asked enthusiastically, “What exactly is the profile of the behavior you are boasting about?

” The rhythm and the rhythm of the words slowed down, allowing him to buy time to sort out his words. “It’s a way of determining the criminal mind based on the crime scene and personality traits.”

“I really like it.” Edmund’s voice rose slightly, using a strong emotional expression, “Love,” with emphasis

.

Obviously, this is an irony.

But Edmund enjoyed this moment very much, and there was a slight smile in his voice, “What are my psychological characteristics?”

“I can’t tell you.” Houghton’s eyes were finally able to face Edmund. However, his thinking space has not been able to return to its original state, and he is still in a passive defensive state.

Edmund refused to let up. “You can’t help it, or you don’t want to?”

“It’s an industry term, Ed.” Houghton couldn’t resist.

“My favorite.” Edmund pressed step by step.

Horton tilted his head back, with a little struggle in his expression, trying to justify it again, “Our research is still in a very early stage…”

“It’s not too early.” Edmund directly hit Cut off Holden’s words – for the first time since we met today, he was pressing, “After all, you can brag to the media; and you basically admit that I led you down this path. So…I think you owe me an explanation, Horton.”

Edmund stared at Horton.

Houghton also looked at Edmund. During the exchange of eyes, both sides refused to give in an inch. Edmund’s calm gaze made Houghton a little flustered.

In the end, Horton’s eyes flickered slightly, announcing that he was defeated, his hands were completely crossed, and he could faintly perceive that he was working hard, trying his best to keep himself on his feet, “We classify you as organized. The killer.” Horton finally gave the answer.

“Hmm.” Edmund was satisfied, and then his eyes began to carefully survey the ward – the doctors and nurses in charge of monitoring outside the ward seemed to be leaving.

“Because you plan carefully before committing a crime.” Holden, who turned his back to the surveillance window, didn’t notice these movements and was still focusing on his own analysis. He couldn’t take it lightly, because he knew it was on the edge of a cliff. Dancing wildly, if you don’t pay attention, it may happen… To be honest, he doesn’t know what will happen. This is the first time he has revealed the results of their analysis in front of the subject of psychoanalysis.

“You practice a few times, let the girls hitch a ride, and then choose your first victim.”

Horton’s voice finally stabilized, and his articulation and use of words finally became clear. Vaguely, he said Taking the initiative again, it was as if he was standing in the perspective of God and analyzing all beings. The feeling of controlling the overall situation made Horton’s mind clear again.

Even the voice became stable and powerful.

“You use your car, carry out kidnappings and dump bodies; you follow your case through the media, which proves you have a persistent fantasy.” Houghton finished his description, pausing, while Edmond waited for more , said “Uh-huh” again, signaling Horton to continue his elaboration.

“That’s probably the case.” Houghton was a little helpless. He thought they had the key, but in real analysis, there didn’t seem to be much, and Edmond’s reaction made him even more frustrated – he Thought he was God, but all his knowledge and information came from Edmund, in other words, he was a student, a researcher, an explorer, but not the God he thought he was .

“Do you think you can sum up me with one adjective?” Edmund said.

“Of course not.” Horton argued eagerly, but immediately realized his eagerness, so the pace of his words slowed down deliberately, “This is just a way to classify features.

” The ups and downs are immediately visible.

Edmund’s even tone carried a kind of banter, “You’re an expert now?”

“No,” Horton denied immediately.

“It sounds like it.”

“I’m not an expert.”

“But you want to be an expert, don’t you?” Edmund raised his tail slightly, firmly gaining the upper hand.

That condescending tone hit Horton hard: he fell silent.

He seemed to be thinking, but his mind was blank. Horton was in a predicament. All the mixed thoughts in his mind began to dissipate, and he was just in a complete blank, as if… as if all his disguise had disappeared. After being disassembled, Chiguo faced doubts.

In front of Edmund, his embarrassment and helplessness exposed his vulnerability.

“Yes,” Horton said. He seemed to be answering Edmund in an almost airy way, and he seemed to be alerting himself, but his completely blank brain was not able to function, and he just replied like a wandering soul.

Edmund looked at Houghton so silently, and for a long time, for a long time, he could sense that the focus and the focal length of Houghton were gradually spreading, immersed in his own thoughts, and the unsuspecting vulnerability Just like the heart that unfolds in front of you after opening your chest, puff!

Pfft!

is beating.

He knew the opportunity had come.

Edmund turned his head, raised his left hand, and said calmly, while tearing the tape over his wound, “Human blood is very hot.” This attracted Horton’s attention, and he raised his head Come, and then saw Edmund’s movements, and his body couldn’t help leaning back.

“On a wet, cold morning, you can see human blood steaming.” Edmund seemed to be reciting poetry.

“What are you doing? Ed?” Horton smelled an unpleasant smell, and seemed to be able to perceive the bloody aura coming towards him.

Edmund ignored it at all, “Someone left a ballpoint pen on my court documents, and I used the metal casing of the pen.”

Then, the wound was exposed in front of Horton’s eyes, and Edmund took the initiative to The left wrist is shown to Horton, as if showing his victory.

The scar that was twisted and twisted like a centipede, the wound was pink and pink, and the wound line was dark black, which reflected Edmund’s white skin that had not seen the sun for a long time, forming a strong scar. The visual impact continued to expand in the pupils.

Horton held his breath for a moment, tried to look away, but couldn’t do it, stared at the wound, and then the nausea rolled in his stomach, like hundreds of worms squirming in his stomach, The feeling of overturning the river firmly held him in place.

“Is this what you want to see?” Edmund’s tone remained the same, calm.

Only then did Horton react, and he was finally able to control his movements again. He quickly lowered his eyes, avoided the screen, and then turned his eyes to Edmund again, “Why would I want to see this?” But out of the corner of his eyes He was still able to capture the picture of the wound, which kept him holding his breath. Then, the accident happened further:

Edmund opened his bedding, sat up straight, and took the initiative to Putting his left arm under Horton’s nose, he lowered his voice and said softly, “Look closer.”

Horton lowered his eyes, rejecting the picture of the wound, his muscles tensed, even though the alarm deep inside had been pulled But he couldn’t escape, he tried his best to suppress himself and keep sitting, still staying in place, but his fingers tightened involuntarily couldn’t hide his emotions at all, even he had completely held his breath, pretending that he was a wooden man , there is no perception at all.

But Edmund was still reluctant to let him go.

“Crack!”

Edmund stood directly on the ground with his bare feet, and the sound of the soles of his feet hitting the ground exploded in Horton’s ears like thunder.

Horton opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head slightly, and his first reaction was to cast his eyes towards the monitoring window, and then he saw that the doctor and nurse seemed to be preparing to leave.

How to do?
