"Well, did he agree?"

"He left without saying a word, but from the fact that he didn't do anything to me, he should have said yes, right?" Responding to the head's inquiry on the phone, Park Jin-sung collapsed in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief, completely ignoring the strange stares of the other guests in the restaurant around him.

"Good. Phoenix is of no great use to us, and it is only fitting to exchange him for the trust of the lonely night, and what the master needs most now is what Dr. Wu has. On the other end of the phone, the head of the [King's Shadow] pondered for a moment, and then spoke again, "However, this matter is completely left to the lonely long night...... It's not safe, it's not my race, his heart will be different, no matter what, he's a human after all. So the next step, it's up to you to carry out the tracking task, monitor his next moves, and report upwards at any time. ”

"Hey, is there any mistake, just a few words of conversation, I was almost beaten by that murderous aura to the point of urinating and running away, you still let me follow him? can't you change someone?" Hearing such a task, a trace of cold sweat immediately appeared in Park Jincheng's head, and he anxiously shouted into the phone in his hand, "I said it, my ability is not suitable for frontal combat, and stealth tracking is also not suitable for me! There is no need to target me like this, right?! Last time he said that he would send me some manpower, but in the end, he didn't let me come alone!" ”

"The moment of the big sigh is approaching, and the master (shēn) side is just the time to employ people, and there is no extra manpower to replace them, let alone a guy like you who is extremely bad. The leader snorted coldly, but the conversation changed again, "However, I did submit an application for manpower, and the master also attaches great importance to the success or failure of this trip, so he specially approved seven deacons, two priests, and thirty-three believers, a total of fifty-two people to assist in your operation, and the command is in your hands, and I have already set off last night, and I guess I am now on your side (shēn), right?"

"(shēn) side? Park looked around, and all he could see was the chatting diners, the quiet waiters, and the bustling crowd on the roadside, "Are you sure they left last night?

"Hehehe......" On the phone, a mockery with a faint ridicule entered Park Jincheng's ears, followed by a strange instruction: "Now, pick up the spoon next to the plate in front of you, and knock it three times along the mouth of the water glass, don't worry, knock it down slowly." ”

As the order was given, the contact line was immediately hung up, and Park Jincheng picked up the iron spoon with suspicion, what do you mean? Could it be that they have been hiding in some invisible place to secretly protect me?

Bell, bell, bell.

With an inexplicable heart (qíng), Park finally knocked on the glass water cup, however, to his surprise, no one from the same organization immediately gathered in his (shēn) because of the sound Not only that, but the noise made by the glass was much higher than expected, and now the people of the whole restaurant began to cast curious glances here, and even one waiter began to walk towards his place with a worried face, probably thinking that he had encountered a customer who was about to make trouble.

Damn, damn it, this bastard is actually playing tricks on me! There is no backup at all, is he so trying to make a fool of me?!

Park Jincheng's old face turned red, and before the approaching waiter could speak, he hurriedly stood up (shēn), ready to throw a few tips and leave this place immediately, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally made the sound just now, I'll leave here...... Huh?"

The apologetic words were forcibly interrupted before they could be finished, as the waiter reached out to block his path, and on his wrist a black crown emblem stood out.

"So, was the sound just now really accidental?" the waiter raised his head slightly, and a very strange smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, "Master Park, I have been waiting for a long time on the orders of my master." ”

As the waiter's voice fell, the noisy noise around him fell silent for an eerie moment, and Park Jincheng looked around dumbly, and in the last moment, the travelers with backpacks, the violinist standing in the street, the beggar with his legs crippled leaning against the base of the wall, and even the diner at another table who was less than half a step away from him, all stopped their activities at this time, and stood in place and cast calm eyes at him.

"Hah...... Haha......"

Park Jincheng was stunned for a long time, but in the end, he suddenly laughed as if he remembered something interesting.

It's ridiculous to say something [hide in an invisible place and secretly protect me].

It turned out that from the very beginning, I was negotiating in a protected state, and I was so mentally prepared for it.

The bag that had been resting on the table was quietly lifted, Park Jincheng raised his head, opened his lips, and then rolled the two balls in the bag directly into his mouth, with the constant sound of friction and chewing between his teeth, but a more and more terrifying smile appeared on his face.

With these people here, there is nothing to fear about people like those who are lonely for a long night.

............

This person cannot be trusted.

This is the conclusion reached after leaving the open-air restaurant, recalling and sorting out the entire conversation through a long night. He was in a motel room, sitting cross-legged between chuáng bunks, with the long black-sheathed knife resting smoothly across his knees.

[But the conditions they gave were quite good, and the documents they brought also filled in the few clues we had broken before, so it also saved a lot of troubles in the follow-up, why, do you have to go far?]

Just as he was thinking about it, a slightly questioning voice suddenly appeared in his mind, but his calm qíng (qíng) did not appear superfluous, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

"Phoenix is out of favor, the king is going to ascend to the throne, these things have nothing to do with me, and I am not interested in the slightest, but my purpose is not only to slaughter Phoenix, but also to overthrow the mountain of [Ring], if the collapsed mountain instead forms a bigger giant peak, then what is the point of everything we do?" As if answering the voice in his head, in the empty room (dàng), Lone Door closed his eyes and whispered, " And, the big question now is, why are they also targeting Dr. Wu?"

[Didn't that guy say it, Dr. Wu has the inner ...... of the ring in his hand]

"What, do you believe it?" Gumen sneered, "We've all seen that guy with our own eyes, except for his dedication to scientific and technological research and hatred for Xuanyi, he can't hold anything else in his head, how can there be any internal (qíng) report of the ring." Maybe...... At present, only by finding him can we know the true purpose of the king's shadow. ”

[Ah...... Troublesome trouble, troublesome death, this kind of brain-using thing is really not suitable for me, let's leave it to you to deal with, I'll continue to sleep for a while......] A voice with a strong lazy meaning echoed slowly in his mind, as if the source of this voice was not willing to put too much effort into this matter, [Oh, by the way, remind you, the phone is going to ring, don't be scared. 】

What is the phone?

"Jingle Bell Bell Bell ——!!"

After a short period of thought and before he could reach a conclusion, the huge ringtone from the (chuáng) phone woke up the lonely door who was closing his eyes and recuperating in an instant, his brows furrowed, he grabbed the phone, and said in an unkind tone: "Hey, what's the matter?"

"Hello, it's room 48...... Uh, Mr. Uesugi?" The voice of the hotel front desk came from the other end of the earpiece, and he was tormented by the pronunciation of the strange name.

"I am. Silently, he reached out and pressed the hilt of the knife, and acknowledged the other man's pronunciation. Naturally, he didn't use his real name to register passenger information, and what was written on the registration book at this time was a strange pseudonym like [Uesugi Qtaro].

"Oh, that's right, a police gentleman came to the front desk and said he was going to search the room with the key, as if a major suspect had been in your room before. ”

"Really? That's terrible. The lonely door quietly turned off the lamp, and then looked down, only to see that in the dark room, among the light sources coming from the gap at the bottom of the front door, there were already several footsteps (yīn) shadows flashing, "So, did you give him the key?"

"No, just now, he suddenly disappeared, leaving nothing behind, as if just after I confirmed your name-"

Before the words on the phone could be finished, a violent explosion blew open the door of the guest room, and the wooden door that had been smashed into pieces by the shotgun splashed open on the floor, and countless thugs with guns rushed in, and immediately fired wildly at the figure on the paved (chuáng), countless brass-colored bullet casings rolled down and jumped on the carpet, and in the blink of an eye, the room was filled with choking gunsmoke......
