2471 Pressing step by step
It was a very, very subtle feeling. Cameron could only feel the goosebumps on his back slowly climbing up, as if the cold air was gradually spreading, tempting him to want to press more and more. Some, just like the game of cat and mouse, are enjoying the good show in front of them.
The eyes flickering slightly deep in the lowered eyelids, the corners of the mouth that were slightly pursed unconsciously, the lines of the shirt that were gently pulled revealed the tension in the shoulders, and the right knee that looked relaxed but was actually stiff... Those details, one by one, are 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 attracted. He could faintly detect the gradual push, as if he was getting closer to Renly step by step. The smell of blood and danger signals were surging in his mind, but he But he was not afraid at all, but enjoyed it.
In a daze, Cameron couldn't tell whether he was Cameron or... Edmund. At this time, there was only one thought in his mind.：
“bloody.”
He longs for blood.
“That report is not..." Holden tried to find an accurate word to describe his thoughts, but after pausing, his brain still could not provide enough help, or he could not explain his situation at all. , which put him in trouble.
Later, Holden realized that there was no answer or explanation. At least, he couldn't give a reasonable explanation now. Looking for excuses might be full of loopholes..
Such thoughts made Holden a little frustrated. The fatigue of his nerves seemed to be causing negative thoughts to spread..
hold your breath.
Holden made a movement of holding his breath to avoid taking a deep breath to avoid arousing Edmund's thoughts, and then directly cut off the negative emotions in his mind without letting himself continue to sink in the drowning state, and then said, "I...had some alcohol at the time.”
There was no excuse, but he frankly admitted his mistake. This is the best way Holden can think of to stop the loss at the moment..
Edmund tilted his head slightly and asked enthusiastically, "What is the behavioral profile you are bragging about?"？”
“Well..." Holden crossed his hands, and his nerves relaxed a little, so that his speaking rhythm and articulation rhythm slowed down, which allowed him to buy time to sort out his words, "This It is a way to determine criminal psychology based on crime scenes and personality traits..”
“I really like it." Edmund's voice rose slightly and he used a strong emotional expression word, "Love" with an emphasis..
Obviously, this is a satire.
But Edmund enjoyed this moment very much, with a slight smile in his voice, "What are my psychological characteristics?"？”
“I can't tell you." Horton was finally able to look directly at Edmond, but his thinking space was not restored to its original state, and he was still in a passive defensive state..
Edmund refused to relax, "You have no choice, or you don't want to？”
“This is an industry term, Ed." Holden couldn't resist..
“My favorite." Edmund pressed forward step by step..
Holden tilted his head back, with a bit of struggle in his expression, trying to argue again, "Our research is still in the very early stages.......”
“It's not too early." Edmund directly interrupted Holden - this was the first time since they met today. He was pressing harder and harder, "After all, you can brag to the media; And you basically admitted that I led you down this road. So... I think you owe me an explanation, Holden..”
Edmund stares at Holden.
Holden also looked at Edmund. In the exchange of eyes, both sides refused to give in. Edmond's calm gaze made Holden a little flustered..
In the end, Holden's eyes flashed slightly, announcing that he was defeated. His hands were completely folded together, and you could faintly notice that he was exerting force, trying his best to keep himself on his feet, "We classify you as organized The killer." Holden finally gave the answer..
“"Uh-huh." Edmond was satisfied, and then he began to look at the ward carefully - the doctors and nurses responsible for monitoring outside the ward seemed to be leaving..
“Because you will make a careful plan before committing a crime." Holden, who had his back to the surveillance window, did not notice these movements and was still focusing on his analysis. He could not take it lightly because he knew that this was a madness on the edge of the cliff. Wu, if you don't pay attention, it might happen... To be honest, he doesn't know what will happen. This is the first time that he has revealed the results of their analysis in front of the subjects of psychological analysis..
“You practice giving girls lifts a few times before choosing your first victim.”
Holden's voice finally stabilized, and his pronunciation and word choice finally became clear. Vaguely, he regained control of the initiative, as if he was analyzing all living beings from God's perspective. The feeling of being in control of the overall situation, It made Holden’s mood clear again.
Even the voice becomes stable and powerful.
“You used your own car to carry out kidnappings and dump bodies; you followed your case through the media, which proves that you have persistent fantasies." Holden finished the description and paused, but Edmond was still waiting for more, He said "Uh-huh" again, indicating that Holden would continue to elaborate..
“That's probably it." Holden was a little helpless. He thought they had the key, but when he really analyzed it, there didn't seem to be much, and Edmund's reaction made him taste the frustration even more - he thought they had the key. He is God, but all his knowledge and information comes from Edmund. In other words, he is a student, a researcher, and an explorer, but he is not the God he thinks he is..
“Do you think you can sum me up in one adjective? "Edmond said..
“Of course not." Holden argued a little eagerly, but then he realized his eagerness, so the rhythm of his words deliberately slowed down, "This is just a way to classify features..”
The ups and downs of the mood can be clearly seen immediately.
Edmond's calm tone contained a hint of joking, "You are now an expert.？”
“No." Holden immediately denied.
“That's what it sounds like.”
“I'm not an expert.”
“But you want to be an expert, don’t you? "With all the aggression back and forth, Edmund slightly raised his voice and firmly gained the upper hand..
That condescending tone hit Holden hard: he fell silent.
He seemed to be thinking, but in fact his mind was blank. Holden fell into a dilemma. All the complicated thoughts in his mind began to dissipate, and he was just in a complete blank, as if... just like himself All disguises have been taken apart, and the doubts are faced openly..
In front of Edmund, his embarrassment and helplessness fully exposed his vulnerability..
“Yes." Holden said, in an almost breathy way, as if he was answering Edmund, and seemed to be alerting himself, but his completely blank brain could not function, and he just answered like a wandering ghost..
Edmund just looked at Holden quietly like this. For a long time, for a long time, he could detect that Holden's focus and focal length were gradually spreading, immersed in his own thoughts, and that kind of defenseless vulnerability Just like opening the chest and showing the heart in front of you, pop! Plop! is beating.
He knew the opportunity had come.
Edmund turned his head, raised his left hand, and said calmly as he tore off the tape on his wound, "Human blood is very hot." This attracted Holden's attention, and he raised his head. Come on, then he saw Edmund’s movements and couldn’t help but lean back..
“On damp, cold mornings you can see human blood steaming." Edmund seemed to be reciting poetry..
“What are you doing? Ed? "Houghton smelled a strange smell that was not good, and seemed to be able to sense that the bloody smell was coming toward him..
Edmond paid no attention. "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 Holden's eyes. Edmond took the initiative to show his left wrist to Holden, as if he was showing off his victory..
The scar was as twisted as a centipede. The top of the wound was a tender pink color, while the wound line was a deep black. It contrasted with Edmond's fair skin that had not seen the sun for a long time, forming a strong impression. The visual impact continues to enlarge in the pupils.
Holden held his breath for a moment and tried to look away, but failed. He stared at the wound intently, and then a nauseating feeling began to roll in his stomach, as if hundreds of bugs were squirming in his stomach. That overwhelming feeling held him in place..
“Is this what you want to see? "Edmond's tone remained the same, calm and calm..
Only then did Holden react and finally be able to control his movements again. He quickly lowered his gaze, avoided the scene, and then turned his gaze 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 scene of the wound, which made him keep holding his breath. Then, a further accident happened.：
Edmund uncovered his quilt, sat up straight, took the initiative to put his left arm under Holden’s nose, and said softly in a low voice, “Look closer..”
Holden lowered his eyes, rejecting the scene of the wound, and his muscles tightened. Although the alarm sounded deep in his heart, he could not run away. He tried his best to suppress himself and remain seated, still staying in place. But the fingers that he involuntarily tightened could not hide his emotions at all. He even held his breath completely, pretending that he was a wooden person and had no consciousness at all..
But Edmund still refused to let him go.
“snap！”
Edmund stood directly on the ground with his bare feet, and the sound of the soles of his feet colliding with the ground exploded in Holden's ears like thunder..
Holden opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head slightly, and his first reaction was to cast his gaze towards the surveillance window, and then he saw the doctor and nurse who seemed to be preparing to leave..
what to do？
