There was no sound in the room except for the slight breathing. It was eerily quiet.
Although both of them were reading, it was obvious that one of them was not paying attention to the book at all. He leaned on the sofa, holding the book in both hands, with his eyes squinting and wandering.
Irene Adler.
Kestrel spied on the woman, who was half lying in a corner. Because her hands were handcuffed together, she held the book flat on her legs. She seemed to be really reading the book, turning the pages clumsily from time to time.
No, this is all an illusion. This woman won't calm down so easily.
Throughout his life, Red Falcon has been deceived many times. Just like when Shrike told him at the beginning that it was just a more dangerous job, not much different from the fighting and killing in the lower city, the young Red Falcon believed it and then lived with those lovely monsters in this ghost place, the Purification Agency, and has been serving there ever since.
Of course, it's not just that. Even Lorenzo has fooled him several times. After being fooled so many times, Red Falcon doesn't care anymore... But this time is different. The way Irene fooled herself this time is different from the previous times.
This time Irene deceived her own feelings.
Although it may sound childish and stupid, that's how it seemed to Red Falcon. He still remembered how excited he was when he held the fish, and how angry and embarrassed he was when Irene was brought back by Lorenzo. Fortunately, Lorenzo didn't continue to tease him or make fun of him this time, otherwise Red Falcon would be extremely ashamed.
Irene had no idea what Red Falcon was thinking. She acted as if nothing had happened and read the story in the book.
"Have you finished reading this book?"
Irene asked suddenly.
Kestrel immediately shook himself off, put down the book, and looked at Irene in confusion.
"Haven't you finished? I thought you had finished," Irene looked at the red falcon opposite her, her eyes checking everywhere, "Didn't you just do that? I thought you were looking for mosquitoes."
It's over. It's all over.
Hong Jian thought he was disguised well, but he could not escape Irene's vigilance from the beginning. The woman had already noticed his gaze.
"I've finished reading it."
Hong Jian replied dryly that he couldn't lose yet... at least not so easily.
"I see, what do you think of this story?"
Irene pointed at the book. She and Hong Jian were reading the same book, titled "Falcon in the Night".
Hong Jian likes this book very much. The book tells the story of a protagonist who is roughly a dark hero. He will put on a mask and go out at night to punish evil and promote good in the city.
"I remember we talked about this."
Hong Jian still remembers that almost perfect afternoon. He completely forgot about fishing and had a good chat with Irene... No, she should be called Gloria at that time.
Honestly speaking, Hong Shun couldn't remember exactly what they talked about. He was completely immersed in the beauty at the time and didn't pay attention to what was said.
But unfortunately, this beauty did not last long, it was all a scam.
"Yes, we talked about this at the time. It seemed like you did a lot of homework overnight in order to get close to me."
