How could this possibly be Jason's setup?
If it really was Jason's setup, according to Edward's description, Jason would definitely have had more complete means rather than this kind of probing.
Exactly.
It was probing.
Brian could tell, Jason's previous actions were full of probing.
If it was a real schemer, they simply wouldn't act like this.
To put it simply, the previous assertion was completely Edward's conjecture.
It's just... this plausible and reasonable conjecture involuntarily influenced him.
Brian shook his head repeatedly, trying to throw Edward's influence out of his mind, but just then, he was slightly startled.
He saw something like a shadowy figure envelop Edward, who was vomiting blood in the distance.
That shadowy figure was indistinct as though it was a... snake?
And a two-headed one at that!
Brian turned his head and looked, and when he saw John's expression, he knew he wasn't hallucinating.
"This madman still has a trump card?"
