Chapter 493 Reasons
Chapter 493 Reasons (Part )
She didn't know that Leon was eyeing her, nor did she know that her background had been known by others. After she asked the robber a few questions, the female reporter actually started chatting with her.
"I remember that when your brother first entered the VIP cabin, he fired a shot at the upper cover, right?"
After recalling the previous situation, the female reporter asked curiously:
"It was that shot that shocked the passengers. But after Leon checked, didn't he say that both of you were holding fake guns? How did the shutter break?"
"Because I prepared a ball of plasticine mixed with glycerin in advance."
Although she wanted to talk about serious matters first, seeing the curious face of the female reporter, the robber girl had no choice but to explain:
"That thing explodes when it vibrates, and is often used in mining. I stole a little bit of it from the mines, mixed it with plasticine, and then secretly glued the plasticine on when I put my luggage.
Although the gun in my brother's hand is a toy, it can still shoot marbles. As long as he aims at the piece of plasticine and shoots, the shield with thin glass on one side will be shattered directly, and it will look like it was shattered by a gun. "
So that's what happened...
After her doubts were answered, the female reporter couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction on her face. Then, perhaps because of her occupational disease as a reporter, she couldn't help but ask curiously:
"By the way, how did you come up with this idea? Did someone teach you?"
"No one taught me, I learned it myself..."
Although she was extremely anxious and wanted to negotiate terms quickly, Leon's previous two sentences had exposed her true colors, which really put a lot of psychological pressure on the robber girl.
Not daring to negotiate with Leon, the robber girl had to suppress the urgency in her heart and patiently accepted the interview in the face of the female reporter, her only lifeline:
"My family are all miners in Cheshire. That's one of the mining areas where the Kingdom of Korok mines floating crystals. I've seen them use glycerol ester mixed with medicinal mud to mine since I was a child, so I learned a little bit from them."
"You are amazing!"
The female reporter seemed to like this cute and sweet-mouthed little sister very much. She touched her head affectionately and continued to ask softly:
"Besides your brother, are there any other people in your family?"
“Originally there was a grandmother…”
After hearing the female reporter's question, the robber girl couldn't help but look a little gloomy, and then she answered with a cold look in her eyes:
"But she should be dead now. Her lungs are full of dust from the floating crystal mine. She was already beyond saving before we escaped."
Ah this...
Unexpectedly, this was the answer. The female reporter's expression froze for a moment, and then she said with a slightly apologetic look:
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was like this..."
"It's okay, we've already accepted it."
"..."
If you've already accepted it... then why did you bother hijacking the airship?
Seeing the stubbornness that was unique to children in the robber's sister's eyes, the female reporter couldn't help but fall silent, and then she couldn't help but cast a pleading look towards Leon.
Is she telling the truth? If so, can we let them go? And not pursue the matter of them hijacking the airship?
No...what are you looking at me for?
Leon, who was somewhat speechless at the look of the female reporter and was taking a lie detector test, couldn't help but glare at her unhappily.
I'm a good person too! Don't make it seem like I'm cruel and ruthless and I want to kill them! From the beginning, I never said I would do anything to them, okay?
……
I was actually moved by something like this...
After noticing the eye contact between Leon and the female reporter, the robber girl bit her lower lip slightly, then clenched her fists with both hands, and then lowered her head and whispered:
"I don't know what you want to do, but if you want to find the location of the Korok Palace, I am willing to stay and help, as long as you let my brother go."
"No! I don't agree!" Hearing this, the robber finally couldn't help it, and he arched his upper body with his butt sticking out, and shouted anxiously:
"We agreed that you..."
"Take a break first."
He took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into the robber's mouth. After completing the physical silencing, Leon pulled a box over from the side and sat down. He pressed down his throbbing forehead and asked:
"Let me sort it out... To sum it up, the Korok Kingdom mined floating crystals in your hometown, which made you orphans. You finally escaped from the mine and wanted to seek revenge on the Korok Kingdom... That's about it, right?"
"Ah."
After hearing what Leon said, the robber girl nodded, then gritted her teeth with hatred in her eyes and said:
"I've read in a book that the Kingdom of Korok is closed to the outside world and is almost impossible to enter from land. Apart from a few ports that are open from time to time, only airships can get there.
After discussing it with my brother, we sold the two small pieces of floating crystals that we stole when we escaped, bought tickets for the airship and these things, and prepared to avenge grandma and the people of Cheshire!"
It seems that it is indeed similar to what I guessed...
Leon couldn't help but rub his brows when he heard this. Although his soul vision proved that the robber girl was telling the truth, just in case, he still frowned and continued to ask:
"How long have you been on the run from that Cheshire?"
"It's been more than two years."
"Then why didn't you think of revenge at that time, but are suddenly ready to take action now?"
"Because I didn't know how to take revenge before."
After recalling for a moment, the robber girl explained:
"We live in Ximu Town, a suburb of the capital, not far from the boarding tower. Last month, when the rebels attacked the boarding tower and burned the airship, we could just see the huge fireball over a hundred meters high from where we live. That's when I thought of a way to take revenge."
"..."
Good fellow, you actually got the inspiration for revenge from me...
After asking a few more questions with a speechless look on his face but not finding anything suspicious, Leon couldn't help but sigh in his heart and began to doubt the purpose of the world's will to "arrange" this hijacking.
With the humorous behavior of the robber, it was indeed impossible for him to kill himself, but it was hard to say what the tragic experience of the robber girl would be.
If I ask something else, such as uncovering the evil deeds behind the prosperity of the Korok Kingdom, and then I can't help but meddle in other people's business, I will definitely be involved in a huge trouble, and I might really be killed.
……
"Let's talk about something else first."
After untying the ropes on the robber girl, Leon, who was annoyed and in pain, asked:
"I already know why you hijacked the airship. Now can you tell me how you plan to find the location of the palace of the Kingdom of Korok?"
"..."
After hearing Leon's question, the robber girl hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately. Instead, she reached out and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a small piece of her skinny arm with densely packed dark blue blood spots on the skin.
