这一次的谈话一直从下午讨论到了晚上，就连晚餐几个人都没有顾得上。
帕特里克和阿伦都在那里一言不发，用沉默继续表示自己的态度。
而杰西也没有说什么话，只是静静地在一旁听着他们的一言一语。
“So since most people are in favor of this action, let\\u0027s make a suggestion.”约翰森看了一眼一旁的帕特里克，没有再继续追问他。
“First, we need to get white\\u0027s speech schedule.”夏佐扬西开口
约翰森不以为意“It\\u0027s very simple, through the first round of voting, we can already know with a high probability where his supporters are the majority, and it will be good to keep an eye on it when the time es.”
“choose two or three of these cities to set up the right manpower.”
“Yes, we have to choose the city that is good for us,”吉恩耶尔也适时插话表达着自己的观点。
这时，夏佐扬西从军装的上衣口袋中拿出了一张地图递给了约翰森。
杰西随着动作看了过去，那是一张洛斯达尼亚的地图，上面用红色的记号笔圈着几个城市的名字。
“mander, I have already sent someone to check, it is these ten cities, where he mainly solicits votes.”
约翰森在地图上搜寻了一圈，眉毛轻微抬起“there is no Kambuya. ”
坎布涯是洛斯达尼亚的首都，也是他们正在待的地方。
“Yes, here white has the lowest approval rating, and the highest is also colt.”夏佐扬西回答着
这完全靠的就是约翰森的功劳，这座城市起码一半的地界都在他的手里。
“my proposal is to choose the three cities of Lewaman, Stia and Kingcanter.”
力纬曼、斯堤雅和金坎特这三座城市全部都在坎布涯的周围，直线距离均不超过300公里。
“did you choose this place because of the distance? If that\\u0027s the case, ogard would be more appropriate.”约翰森反问
奥嘉德就在坎布涯旁边，而且那座城市的经济还需要依靠着坎布涯，从这两方面来看是更为合适的存在。
“because in these three cities, white\\u0027s approval rating, although the highest, is not much different from davis\\u0027s vote.”一直都没说话的帕特里克突然开口
“did you agree to this action?”约翰森很是惊讶
帕特里克接过了地图“All four of you agreed, and Allan and I can\\u0027t do nothing.”
“You\\u0027re thinking that if you fail, someone can divert our attention for us, right?”约翰森给出了自己的判断
其实说是替他们转移视线，不如说是一旦有什么闪失好能即可找到合适的替罪羊而已。
“but of the three cities, I remend kingcanter because the buildings there are basically high-rise buildings, which is conducive to hiding snipers.”
帕特里克也给出了自己的建议，虽然可能根本用不到狙击手，但是这也是一层保障。
“when are you ready to start the operation, we can carry out the transfer of personnel.”他询问着约翰森
杰西看着旁边的约翰森想了许久“two days later.”
她果然没猜错，‘两天后’这个时间点是很重要的，他居然想在那个时候开始这次的行动。
“he was afraid that he would die at that time, otherwise how could he be so anxious.”
想到这里杰西不免对约翰森多了些嘲讽的意味。
如此紧急的时刻他居然还会想着男女那点子事儿，不愧是赌徒。
“then Kingcanter wouldn\\u0027t be the right place.”帕特里克回答他
“Let\\u0027s now extrapolate white\\u0027s itinerary.”帕特里克将地图铺到了面前巨大的桌子上。从上衣的口袋中取出了一只钢笔，淡蓝色的痕迹一步一步划过了了很多城市。
“of the three cities, a short stretch of mountain road is Lewaman, so he won\\u0027t choose to go here first.”
帕特里克又将钢笔放在了金坎特“the city is the closest to cambya, but as far as I know, the weather in camcante is not very good these days.”
“Yes,”在一旁消声很久的阿伦沃克也重新搭起了腔“And it\\u0027s low-lying, and if there is heavy rain, it can easily cause natural disasters, and white will definitely not go here first.”
通过天气以及地形，帕特里克很顺利排除了他们所选的三座城市的其中两座。
“that\\u0027s just Stia.”阿尔杰卡兰这时终于能够插上一句话了
帕特里克点点头“but white will definitely not go here these two days, so the mander, after two days, will not be able to carry out operations.”
约翰森附身凑近了地图“So when do you think white will go to Stia?”
“It will take four days at the earliest, mander.”帕特里克用钢笔戳着自己的太阳穴，并在上面轻轻敲打着。
“why four days?”吉恩耶尔有些无法理解“why did he leave so late?”
“It is the same as our original intention of choosing these three cities.”
正是因为怀特和戴维斯的支持率都很高，而且差距不大，所以他更有可能先去其他更有优势的城市，先巩固住这一批支持者。
“mander, if you want to act in two days, none of the three cities can be chosen.”
“And,”一直都处于沉默的杰西这个时候也开始说话了“if he only prepares two speeches in one city, a total of three cities, even if he is flying, it will take a little more than three days.”
“Jessi is right,”帕特里克将钢笔在桌子上一敲“the probability that they will choose an airplane for the sake of life safety is very small, most likely a car.”
所以，加上赶路的时间怎么也得四天了，而且还不确保怀特只进行两场演讲。
“mander, please decide, we will go wherever you let us go.”夏佐扬西搭话
看着约翰森依旧沉默不语，杰西知道他是在犹豫，在时间和损失之间犹豫。
不过杰西倒是希望能够越早越好，毕竟比起这次的行动，与她个人来说还是两天后的事更让她心烦。
“Four days later, each of them sent 50 of their own people to Stia.”
杰西可算是明白了，在这里她的愿望是永远都不能达成了，事情根本不会向她期望的方向发展。
“Now, then, it\\u0027s time to judge where white will be going to give his speech.”
“of course it was an open-air square.”阿尔杰卡兰说道
帕特里克表示同意“where is the square, what time, and how many people will they arrange?”
这些才是考虑的关键
听到这里，阿尔杰卡兰有些说不上来了，因为他并没有去过斯堤雅。
“None of us had been there, so we had to go on field trips for the next three days.”
“well,”约翰森将桌子上的地图收了起来抵还给夏佐扬西“everyone gives a location, and I\\u0027ll be waiting for you here in three days.”
杰西就这样目送这五人离开了迷宫。
既然讨论已经结束，杰西也并不想在这里多待一秒钟，准备起身离开。
可是巨大的阻力却让她没办法离开
“two days later, don\\u0027t forget.”
杰西并没有再做挣扎，而是将头转向了约翰森那边“mander, I don\\u0027t think this should be considered at such an urgent moment.”
他若无其事地抚摸着她的红发“You always use the banner of being good for me to achieve your goals.”
根本不等杰西做出回答，他接着说“to be honest with you, in fact, I plan to act in two days, after all, I am a gambler, and the more dangerous I am, the more I like it.”
“And I chose to wait two more days not only because you thought it was just for their safety, but also because I knew you wanted me to choose the former.”
听着约翰森这么大段大段的说这话，杰西也就明白了，不光是她了解他，相同的他也了解她。
因为我知道你认为我会这么做，那么我就不会这么做，更何况这么做对你更有利。
“Stop making other excuses to delay time, I\\u0027ve been giving you a long time.”
是的，约翰森已经给了她快五年的时间了，这次任何的说辞都不可能再说动他了。
他当初是听帕特里克的建议才没有在将杰西带回迷宫的第一个晚上就对她动手。
可是现在五年过去，事情好像就只是在四年前，前进了那一步而已。
所以他放弃继续等待，而本身，他也不是一个会等待的人。
“I know you don\\u0027t want to do it, but I\\u0027m a gambler and I want to see how you\\u0027ll kill me at that time.”
他起身，一只手捏着杰西的下巴“I also hope that you are a gambler, if you can\\u0027t kill me, you have to run quickly, you know?”
那只手的大拇指轻轻摩挲着她的唇，他好像很喜欢这么做“If you fail, you will be tied up here by me, and you will be better off living than dying at that time.”
听到了这种话，杰西的眼睛陡然睁大，她确实没想过约翰森会选择这么做。
她想过他会杀了她；也想过他会把她扔到新奇迹里去招待他的客人；更想过他会把她丢进那些‘将军’的大营，成为那种用完就扔的角色，但唯独没想过会是这种。
可是这种却也是他会做出来的事，说到底，杰西还是最不想让这个想法成真的，所以从来都没想过。
“the madman is the most wrong evaluation I made about you, you are a pervert.”
“Yeah, isn\\u0027t that all you forced me to do?”约翰森丝毫不生气
杰西冷哼一声“blame me? wrong, that\\u0027s who you are.”
“En en ”约翰森点着头像是十分认同她的说法“then you have to take the initiative a little more, so that you don\\u0027t have to suffer.”
“It\\u0027s getting late, good night.”最后一个尾音轻扬，约翰森并没有回到房间，相反，他离开了迷宫。
杰西依旧坐在原地，耳边还回响着那句‘晚安’，她像是听到了一丝的愉悦。
