MTL - Twenty Seven Years-Chapter 424 Exposure and exploration

How to do?

   There is a very small possibility that Cosmo really happened to be staying opposite and didn't eavesdrop on their conversation?

   "What are you doing alone in the cubicle?" Quentin asked.

   "I want to find a quiet environment to think about problems, so I came here. How about you? Were you here just now?" Cosmo's expression and voice were normal.

   "Yes, we are discussing the follow-up development in the cubicle opposite you." Verak observed Cosmo's eyes, "Do you want to talk together?"

   "Sure." Cosmo turned sideways and invited Verak and Quentin into the compartment.

Seeing that Cosmo was a little defensive, he made it clear that he wanted to sit inside with Quentin, and he sat near the door so that he could leave easily, so Verak didn't go in first as he wished, but called him to the next room where he was. Room: "Come here, come."

  Cosmo also declined: "Sit nearby, it's the same everywhere."

   "We just prepared some materials, and they are in the compartment." Verak walked towards his compartment while testing.

  If Cosmo really eavesdropped on their conversation, he must know that they didn't have any materials, and then he stopped because he doubted why Verak said so.

  If Cosmo hadn’t overheard their conversation and was really thinking about problems alone in the opposite compartment, then he would have gone with Verak without hesitation.

   "Really..." Cosmo hesitated.

   "Come on." Verak made a decision in his heart, and before Cosmo could judge the situation, he pulled him into the compartment, then pushed him down from behind, and shouted at Quentin, "Close the door!"

   Quentin was ready when he heard that Verak was looking for a reason to insist on bringing Cosmo over. After Verak overwhelmed Cosmo, he quickly locked the door and stepped forward to help Verak subdue Cosmo.

  Cosmo's face was livid, and he writhed and struggled frantically on the ground: "What are you doing?!"

   "Hidden enough, Cosmo." Verak removed Cosmo's belt, and tied his hands behind his back with the belt.

"What are you talking about?! What is hidden deep enough?! Did we have some misunderstanding?!" Cosmo knew that once he admitted to betraying the revolution, he would never do well in the hands of Vilak and others, so he desperately Earn trust.

  Verak also wanted to create the impression that he had learned of Cosmo's rebellion long ago, and his team came to Bash. The real purpose was to eliminate the traitor's false appearance and defraud important information. However, Cosmo had just eavesdropped on their conversation, and not only knew that they had just learned of Cosmo's betrayal, but also knew that they had a huge suspicion of others.

  Many rhetoric methods cannot be used now, and the only verification method left is to look at the reactions of Vladislav, Arseni, and Victor. If they are innocent, they will only help Verak to control Cosmo and discuss the follow-up countermeasures.

The problem is, if they are with Cosmo, then there is no need to continue acting at this juncture. They can work together to subdue Verac and Quentin, and wait for Stuart and the others who are out to perform missions to come back, and then one by one. Get rid of them.

  Finally, when the war is over, the sub-station will be officially wiped out!

   "There must be some misunderstanding between us! Let me go first!" Cosmo did not resist violently, trying to defend himself, "Tell me what you know first, and I will explain it to you later, okay?"

   "You have eavesdropped so much, do we need to waste our time talking again?" Verak said coldly.

"I didn't eavesdrop! I didn't even know you were here! I'm the head of the branch station, don't you even believe me?! If I did something wrong with the branch station and the revolution, do you think you can still live?" By now?!" Cosmo questioned.

  Verak has no time to talk to Cosmo, he is thinking about what to do next.

Stuart and others are still carrying out their tasks. If Vladislav, Arseni, and Victor really betrayed the revolution, then their own numbers will not have the upper hand. The probability will not be able to beat the opponent.

  The most important thing now is to make the best choice while still having the initiative, not only to ensure their safety, but also to identify the authenticity of Vladislav and the others.

   "Quentin, bring the gun here." Verac said.

   "Yes." Quentin opened the door and left quickly.

  Kozmo didn't yell and call Vladislav and Arseni when he opened the door, which made Verak hesitate.

   Didn’t ask for help, is it because Cosmo and Vladislav are really not in the same group, or did they deliberately behave like this in front of Verak to create opportunities for Vladislav and the others to rescue themselves when the time comes?

   Soon, Quentin came back and took back the four pistols stored in the tavern: "All the guns in the tavern are here."

   "What about Vladislav and the others?"

"they do not."

   "Okay..." Verak stood up, stepped on Cosmo's back with one foot, immobilized him, and took two guns, one on his waist, and the other loaded after checking the magazine.

"Do you think I'm a traitor?!" Seeing that the gun was loaded, Cosmo thought that Verak wanted to get rid of him immediately, and explained tremblingly, "I'm not! I really am not! I've been pretending to defect Maxim, he wants to get information about the real traitor from the scavengers! Only in this way can we hope to reverse the situation!"

  Verak exerted more force on his feet: "That's true, why do you need to hide it from us?"

   "The situation in the sub-station is very complicated now. I can't judge who is my own and who is a traitor. How can you tell me?!" Cosmo grinned in pain.

"Then tell me, what information have you obtained during this time?" Verak did not intend to believe Cosmo, but he was still interested in his speech, and wanted to judge the information of Vladislav and Arseni from it. .

   "Maxim is very wary of me, he didn't tell me anything, I'm still fighting for it!" Cosmo couldn't make up any reliable lies at the moment, so he had to use the safest method to appease Verak.

  Verak and Quentin looked at each other, and said again: "Then how did you trust him? He can't let you join the scavenger for no reason."

   "I..." Quentin was speechless.

   You must show your sincerity to seek refuge. As the head of the sub-station, if you don’t tell Maxim about the situation at the sub-station, how could Maxim believe that Cosmo really turned his back?

  His clumsy lies are self-defeating.

   "What should we do now?" Quentin asked, leaning against Veraker's ear.

Stuart and the others don't know when they will come back. If they wait blindly like this, they will only gradually become passive, and after they come back, their own numbers will be superior. If Vladislav and Arseni are really rebellious, it depends on the situation. If the disadvantage remains disguised, it still doesn't make much sense.

  In the final analysis, it is still necessary to deliberately pretend to be a disadvantage in order to lure Vladislav, Arseni and others to show their true colors.

   "Play."

  Verak only quietly replied to Quentin, and immediately kicked Cosmo who was tied up: "Fake it! You traitor! How many comrades have you killed!"

   "You have to trust me! I did this to steal information from the scavenger!" Cosmo curled up into a ball and wailed.

   "Go! Call Vladislav and the others!" Verak called Quentin out.

  Quentin went out and went straight to the place where Vladislav, Arseni, and Victor were resting: "Comrade Vladislav! Comrade Arseni! Comrade Victor! No good!"

  The three people who were resting sat up one after another and looked at Quentin: "What's wrong?!"

   "Comrade Verac insists that Comrade Cosmo betrayed the revolution and is a scavenger! Now that Comrade Cosmo is tied up, he is going to kill him!" Quentin said anxiously.

   "Comrade Cosmo betrayed the revolution?"

   "Comrade Veraker is going to kill him?"

   "This is all about what..."

  The three hurriedly followed Quentin to the cubicle. As soon as they reached the corridor, they saw Verak dragging Cosmo to the door and punching and kicking him.

   "Comrade Verak! Stop it!" Vladislav said and was about to come up to stop Verak.

Verak hid his pistols behind his waist before they came. Seeing that Vladislav was coming, he clamped Cosmo's neck, pushed him to the brink of death, and made him speechless: " Come here and I'll kill him!"

  Vladislav paused: "What is the situation! Tell me what you have!"

   "Quentin! Come here! Don't stand with them! Cosmo has recruited! They are all in the same group!" Verac called Quentin back.

   "Vladislav and the others?!" Quentin quickly retreated to Verak.

   "Why are you not in the same group? What is the situation?! Why do you say that Comrade Cosmo betrayed the revolution?!" Vladislav looked at the tense situation and was burning with anxiety.

   "We did not betray the revolution!" Arseni argued.

   "Stop pretending! You traitors!" Verak tightly strangled Cosmo while turning his head aside, preventing him from communicating with Vladislav and the others.

   Quentin gasped and asked, "What shall we do now?"

   "Wait for Stuart and the others to come back, and catch them all!" Verak lowered his voice, but deliberately kept it at a level that Vladislav and the others could hear.

If Vladislav and Cosmo are really in the same group, it seems that Verak has no weapons and only controls Cosmo. He will definitely take action to get rid of Verak and Quentin in order to protect himself and prevent more people from coming back. Lose the numerical advantage.

  If they were not in the same group, they would definitely worry about Cosmo's life and death if they didn't understand the situation, and they would freeze here and wait for Stuart and others to come back to clarify the situation.

   The final result made Verak heave a sigh of relief.

  The three Vladislavs did not rush forward desperately, but kept asking about the situation and persuading themselves to calm down.

"We really didn't betray the revolution! I don't know what Comrade Cosmo told you! If you feel unsafe now or something, wait for Comrade Stuart and the others to come back, and we will explain the situation clearly. Will you?" Vladislav urged.

  Verak basically believed that Vladislav and the others were innocent.

  Otherwise, they won't miss this opportunity, and they have to wait for a group of people from Verak's side to come back before doing it.

   "Pretend really well. If I hadn't discovered Cosmo's clues, I would have let you deceive me." To ensure safety, Verak did not trust Vladislav easily.

   "We really didn't betray! Can you tell us the situation first!"

   "Please trust us!"

   "Stop being hypocritical!" Velak yelled angrily, "You traitors!"

"If you continue like this, Comrade Cosmo will die!" Vladislav reminded loudly, "Please allow us to confront each other! Instead of directly saying that we are traitors like this! He is going to die, and all of this will be dead without evidence Yet!"

   "Plop."

  Verak let go of Cosmo, allowing him to collapse on the ground and gasp for breath.

   "Villac." Quentin knew that Verac's move represented the end of the temptation, but he was still a little uneasy.

   "Do you have any other options?" Verak asked softly, looking directly at the three people in front of them.

   "No." Quentin slowly moved his hand to his waist.

   "They are really traitors, there is no reason to see the two of us empty-handed and indifferent." Velak was inclined to trust Vladislav and others, and after this trial, the trust has been deepened.

  Although this trust has not yet reached 100%, but now that all means have been exhausted, they have no better way to continue to verify.

   "Comrade Virak! What's going on?!"

   "Station Master Cosmo!"

"What happened!"

  At this moment, Stuart, Connie, and Oscar finally returned to the tavern.

  At first they saw no one else, so they guessed that Verak and the others were having a meeting in the cubicle again, and then they witnessed the confrontation between the two sides in the corridor before looking for each cubicle.

"We don't know either. Comrade Verak suddenly beat Comrade Cosmo like this, saying that he is a traitor, and that we are also traitors..." Vladislav breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Stuart and others come back , standing at a distance of four or five meters from Verak, "They are back, can you tell us about the situation?"

"...I was testing you just now." All the clues and logic accumulated by Verak at the moment are proving the innocence of Vladislav and others. The purpose of the series of crazy moves.

   "Trying?" Vladislav, Arseni, and Victor didn't know why.

  Stuart, Connie, and Oscar who had just returned were even more dazed.

  Villac leaned over and grabbed Cosmo's clothes, dragging him towards the cubicle: "Victor, close the door of the tavern, it's closed today."

   "...Yes." Victor turned and left.

   "Come in, and I will tell you what happened in detail." Verak threw Cosmo in first, and then sat down with Vladislav and others, waiting to tell the important news.
