Cairo, basement of the headquarters of the defenders.

The cross on which the two dead men were executed was still there, the wood of the cross was stained black with blood, and it was evident that more than two people had died on it.

Lin Xiaotian stood in front of the cross with a cold face, touching the wood that many people looked like slippery and disgusting with his hand.

Sixteen was brought in, his face a little dazed. He was originally appeasing the defender's brother, but he was just told that Lin Xiaotian had returned to see him.

Lin Xiaotian's sudden return caught him off guard and did not prepare in the slightest.

Lin Xiaotian glanced at Sixteen and said, "Sixteen, do you remember why you joined the Defender?"

Sixteen was slightly stunned, glanced at Lin Xiaotian in surprise, and replied, "Because I want to become stronger!"

Lin Xiaotian looked at Sixteen with a complicated expression and said, "I remember that it was the Imperial Spirit who discovered you to join the defenders, right?"

"Yes. Sixteen bowed his head.

"I still remember what the Imperial Spirit said to you at the time, 'Young, steady, ambitious, and fanatical in pursuit of strength'. Lin Xiaotian continued.

A flash of memory flashed in Sixteen's eyes. His real name is not Sixteen, his surname is Wang, his name is Wang Xiaopeng, it was the Imperial Spirit who changed his name, to this day, he still remembers the original words of the Imperial Spirit at that time, "Don't you want to become stronger? Then change your name, from today onwards, you will be called 17381, because the defenders now have 17381 members, and you are the weakest." ”

Since then, he has made a name for himself in the ranks of strength in the defenders, and now his name is Sixteen!

Lin Xiaotian looked at Sixteen, who was trapped in memory, and said, "You have joined the defenders for six years. I remember three years later than I am. ”

Without waiting for Sixteen to speak, Lin Xiaotian asked, "How many times have I saved your life in the past six years?"

Sixteen looked at Lin Xiaotian in amazement and said, "The leader and I have not acted together, and they have not saved my life. ”

Lin Xiaotian said: "Yes, I didn't save your life, what about the imperial spirit? How many times did he save your life?"

Sixteen was silent, eight times, ten times? Sixteen couldn't remember how many times the spirit had saved his life, touched his chest, and remembered that he had lost too much blood once, the rare RH-negative blood, so that he was almost certain to die, it was the same blood type of the spirit, and he saved his life with almost a third of the blood in his body, maybe he still has the blood of the spirit in his body now.

Lin Xiaotian took a deep breath, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he was replaced by coldness: "Sixteen, you're married." ”

Sixteen nodded.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiaotian's mouth, and he said, "My family lives in the suburbs of Cairo." I have a child at home, and my wife is also a member of our defenders, what a happy family. It would be a pity if something misfortune happened to the family. ”

Sixteen's face turned pale, and his body kept trembling, because Lin Xiaotian's words were almost exactly the same as what he said to the doctor at Sharm el-Sheikh International Hospital!

Lin Xiaotian stroked the sticky and slippery surface of the cross, and the sadness in his eyes resurfaced: "Yu Ling is a very smart person, but he may not have thought until he dies that it was you, his most trusted brother, who killed him." ”

Sixteen didn't do anything to Lin Xiaotian, because he knew that he was not Lin Xiaotian's opponent, and at this time, there was despair, unwillingness, and maybe a trace of sadness and remorse on his face.

"I just want to know why. Lin Xiaotian asked angrily.

Sixteen twitched nervously: "Chief, do you remember what you just said, what the Imperial Spirit said about me, 'I have a fanatical pursuit of strength'." ”

"Strength? just because of this?" Lin Xiaotian's fingers clicked into the cross, and his voice was full of anger: "Just because of this!

Sixteen looked at his trembling hands and muttered, "My name is Sixteen, isn't this name because of strength." What's wrong with pursuing strength?"

"Even now, you're still obsessed. Lin Xiaotian was completely disappointed in Sixteen.

Sixteen lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I don't regret everything I did, I just ask the leader to kill me early, so that I can catch up with the royal spirit, and say sorry to him!"

"You bastard!" Lin Xiaotian kicked Sixteen to the ground.

Fratricidal cannibalism is always the painful experience that mercenaries want to avoid the most, in Huaguo, he kept his hand on Situ Yu several times, it is precisely because of the word brother, unless it is absolutely necessary, he never wants to set a precedent of fratricide in the defenders.

Unexpectedly, the tragedy he tried so hard to avoid happened at the Defenders Headquarters.

Yu Ling is one of Lin Xiaotian's most admired defender brothers, and just like the monk cultivated him, he also wanted to cultivate Yu Ling.

This time, he handed over the defender to the Imperial Spirit to exercise his ability to control. Unexpectedly, he was killed by his inner brother.

"Chief...... Chieftain...... Spare your life......" A woman rushed in with a child in her arms, knelt at Lin Xiaotian's feet, and begged bitterly: "Chief, he must have been coerced by someone...... You're going to spare sixteen times......"

Lin Xiaotian clenched his fists and did not speak.

Sixteen smiled miserably and said: "Xiu'er, no one coerces me, it's my own ghost, I am innocent of death, don't embarrass the leader, don't worry, you and Bao'er are still members of the defenders, and the leader will not let you suffer!"

The weeping woman was stunned when she heard this, looked at Sixteen in a daze, and asked, "No one coerced you?"

Sixteen did not speak. No matter what the reason, killing the defender's own brother is an unforgivable mistake, not to mention that the person he killed is still his best brother Imperial Spirit, and only death can bring a little apology to Imperial Spirit.

This woman named Xiu'er deserved to be the wife of Sixteen, and after a while, she suddenly stood up from the ground with her son in her arms, and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you want to pursue stronger strength? Is that right? Just because of this, you will kill Brother Yuling and kill the benefactor of our family! Wang Xiaopeng! I am blind!"

The woman pressed her son's head and asked him to kowtow to Sixteen, and said with tears in her eyes: "Son, kowtow to your father, from today onwards, he will die!"

After the child kowtowed ignorantly, the woman resolutely turned away without even looking at Sixteen again.

Lin Xiaotian's heart was as if he had been stabbed by a knife, and he pointed at Sixteen and asked, "Let me ask you the last question, is it because the Imperial Spirit guessed who assassinated him that you killed him?"

Sixteen nodded, his eyes still looking in the direction his wife and son had left, and he didn't speak.

Lin Xiaotian smashed the cross into pieces with a snap of his palm, and shouted angrily: "It's Situ Yu! The bastard you want to protect is Situ Yu!

Sixteen was struck by lightning, and looked at Lin Xiaotian in shock in anger, he couldn't have imagined that Lin Xiaotian had already known that the person who assassinated the imperial spirit was Situ Yu.

If Situ Yu's assassination of the Imperial Spirit was not a secret at all, then wouldn't he have killed the Imperial Spirit for nothing, and there was no meaning.

"Hahahaha......" Sixteen laughed maniacally, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and Sixteen smashed his head with a pistol.

Silence is the only excuse that Sixteen can use to comfort himself after killing the Imperial Spirit. Now that excuse is gone, Sixteen is left with nothing but extreme remorse, which makes him completely devastated.

"Situ Yu!" Lin Xiaotian gritted his teeth, his heart was like a thousand knives. At this moment, he hated this former defender very much, and it was his use that made Sixteen kill the Imperial Spirit, and made Sixteen commit suicide with pain and remorse, and also destroyed Sixteen's husband and father image in the eyes of his wife and children.

At the same time, Lin Xiaotian also hated himself, if he faced Situ Yu who betrayed the defender first, he would be a killer, and there would be no tragedy in the future.

After learning from the pain, Lin Xiaotian's way of dealing with the problem has also changed dramatically, and he will no longer tolerate the shadow guards who have always been inseparable from the defenders, and temporarily detain all the shadow guards for interrogation.

As for the judge Situ Yu. He took advantage of the conflict between the Shadow Guard and the Defenders, disguised himself as the Shadow Guard, assassinated the Imperial Spirit, and then used the influence of the Shadow Guard to change the location of the joint meeting to the inside of the pyramid, fearing that there would be a plot......

Thinking of the complex and closed environment of the pyramid, Lin Xiaotian was in a cold war. If Situ Yu makes a move in the pyramid at this time and kills all the leaders of the mercenary organizations participating in the conference in the defender's territory, the defenders will definitely become the target of public criticism and the target of all powerful mercenary groups in the world.

……

in the pyramid.

Smith, the leader of the Blackwater Mercenary Group, said unrelentingly: "Judge Situ Yu used to be a member of your defenders, and you defenders naturally have the responsibility to recover the national treasure he stolen, Mr. Mourning Ghost, if you can't be the master, then let Lin Xiaotian come out!"

The ghost's eyes swept over the faces of several mercenary group leaders, and he said slowly: "Situ Yu is a traitor to our defenders, just a few days ago, he also sent someone to assassinate our defenders' acting / managerial controller Yu Ling!

Hearing that the defender was actually assassinated by Situ Yu, all the leaders were silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Mohammod stood up and said, "We all know Lin Xiaotian's character, he won't provoke all our mercenary groups for no reason, that's crazy! This matter must have been deliberately done by Situ Yu to make us angry with the defenders! We can't be fooled." ”

The mourning ghost suddenly felt that this former turban religious country general was very pleasing to the eye, although he was helping Lin Xiaotian instead of helping himself, but he could be regarded as freeing himself.

"Situ Yu betrayed the defenders and assassinated our representatives, the sworn enemies of our defenders, I propose to issue a strangulation order for the mercenary joint conference, hunt down Situ Yu, and recover your lost national treasures!"

This is a good thing that helps to recover the national treasure, and Tu Fei Yuan and Reano did not have a match.

Seeing that the opportunity to provoke had passed, Smith also agreed: "This judge Situ Yu is very crazy, he can steal your national treasure now, and he can steal us in the future, we must join forces to let the judge Situ Yu be hunted down by mercenaries anywhere, and there is nowhere to hide!"

The mourning ghost pouted, the history of the American country is only more than 100 years, what national treasure can there be.

Although he helped the defenders form a hunt and kill alliance, Mohammod's gaze at the mourning ghost flashed with suspicion and murderous intent.

This mourning ghost replaced Lin Xiaotian to participate in the joint conference, obviously with bad intentions. He felt that he had to contact Lin Xiaotian as soon as possible.

The mourning ghost is also preoccupied, and he has worked with the judge Situ Yu for many years. With his understanding of Situ Yu, this man's purpose in stealing the national treasure should not be as simple as provoking the relationship between the defenders and other mercenary groups, and there must be a more terrifying purpose hidden behind it.
