Chapter 146: Welcome, Witcher
Hilton Hotel, 5th floor.
After a short discussion in Ren Huashang's house, it was decided that after the task was completely over, Yuan Xiao and others would bring Lan Dongzhen back to the Demon Capital Trade Union first, and Ren Huashang would go back to negotiate with the headquarters to fight for Lan Dongzhen's "identity as a long-term cooperative client".
Lan Dongzhen said that everything was accepted, and Dante went to open a new room for him, next to the original owl.
"What the hell do you think this thing is hiding inside?" Dante squatted on the ground, looking at the quest items that were revealed when the box was opened. This is a hideous wooden statue, which can be judged to be purple shirt wood according to its texture and hardness. A total of seventeen nails were inserted into the statue's body, located at the joints of the limbs and vital organs, and the nails themselves had a certain degree of rust, which can be observed in the parts that show through the surface of the statue. Of the seventeen nails, only one was brand new, the one that was patched up later.
"You have to ask Comrade Lan Dongzhen, if you can design to let Sun Crooked Neck pull out the nails and kill himself, and can also recycle things intact and mend the nails, I'm afraid it's not so simple to understand. Yuan Xiao sat on the chair, eating the steak that the waiter had just delivered, a total of six, and now only half of it was left, and naturally it all went into Yuan Xiao's stomach.
Ren Huashang and Sun Haiqing didn't know what to say when they were lying inside, and there were three big men left, one was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, one was elegantly eating six steaks, and the other was seriously looking at this weird statue.
Dante obediently looked back at Lan Dongzhen, waiting for an answer.
Lan Dongzhen seems to be very tired, and he must have been exhausted physically and mentally by the deliberate planning these days. But he still insisted on opening his tired eyes and explained to Dante: "I don't fully understand, but according to the known information, the seal in the statue should be an old monster hundreds of years ago, only spirits, and there are not many abilities that can be cast. The iron nail on the statue is the key point used to seal, each nail is crucial, as long as it falls off, the monster of the seal will unseal a certain ability, and can leave a certain range of the statue. If it all falls off, the seal will no longer exist, and even if you insert all the nails back in, you will not be able to seal it. ”
"So why can't Sun crook his neck and take one down?" Yuan Xiao also became curious.
"Quite simply, when I ordered him to steal the statue, I was already familiar with the rich merchant who owned the statue, and he thought I was the son of a real estate tycoon, so I could visit it often. The rest of the matter is simple, I just need to 'accidentally' reveal when Sun crooked his neck to step on the point, this statue is sealed with a little ghost who can attract wealth, as long as the nail is removed, the little ghost can help him. Lan Dongzhen calmly recounted his methods, and the only thought of Yuan Xiao and Dante on the side after listening to it was to raise Lan Dongzhen's danger assessment level to an extremely high position.
Although the minds of the two of them are beyond ordinary people, Lan Dongzhen is a demon. Obtain information to know about Sun Haiqing, speculate that Ren Huashang will go on a mission together, and then get acquainted with rich businessmen, design to steal statues, join the team of capable people, delay until Yuan Xiao and others arrive, and then persuade Ren Huashang to let him join the Demon Hunter Union. In the whole bureau, the foreshadowing and the implementation of the plan are linked one by one, there is no mistake or omission, he is ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to himself, as long as there is a little problem in the whole process, he will definitely die.
But he won the bet.
has luck, strategy, and means, such a person is the least likely to provoke.
"Do you have any clue about revenge?" Dante got up and closed the iron box, no longer looking at the mad face, turned around, and asked Lan Dongzhen.
"Hardly. Lan Dongzhen shook his head tiredly, he hid his anger and sadness well, and there was only determination in his eyes, "However, I will catch him." ”
Yuan Xiao finished eating, got up and patted Lan Dongzhen on the shoulder, whispered come on, and was about to call the front desk to ask for another one, when the door of the inner bedroom opened.
Sun Haiqing's face was much better, and he was no longer as ugly as he was on the mission just now.
"Come on, have a little meeting. Ren Huashang dragged a chair over and sat down dignifiedly.
The rest of the people have also honestly found their positions, this person in front of him is not a good man and a woman, and the various behaviors in the mission also prove Ren Huasheng's strength, and no one wants to touch her tiger whiskers.
"Tomorrow I will return the things to the client, and this mission will be over. Ren Huashang took out a light blue notebook, obviously doing his homework, "But I will continue to be strict in judging the personal performance of this mission." ”
"First of all, Dante. Although Ren Huashang was still wearing a mask, her breathtaking gaze still made Dante shudder, "I doubt now that Jun Suo made you the vice president of the Demon Capital Trade Union a wrong decision." ”
The first sentence was a thunderbolt from the sky, but Dante's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only keep his head down and continue listening.
"You didn't even respond to the sudden situation you had just done as well as a well-trained ordinary person. Don't explain to me why your abilities are biased towards surprise attacks and tracking, will all enemies find out our abilities in advance, and then send out demons that happen to be restrained by our abilities?" Ren Huasheng's tone did not improve, it was still steady and clear, but these fluttering words were like a hammer on Dante's chest, making him almost suffocate.
"Do you know where your biggest mistake was?" asked Ren Huashang.
Dante shook his head and did not speak. From his return to the present, he seems to have been observing the statue, but in fact it is just an illusion to hide his unhappiness. He was really too aggrieved, he was beaten by others from beginning to end, and he didn't give full play to his advantages at all, not to mention, and in the end he relied on Yuan Xiao to save himself. What makes him even more incomprehensible is that he has not figured out until now, how he was discovered at that time?
The people in the room don't have any detection ability, and their own voice imitation is also a must. And these people are known to ask the waiter to leave the food at the door, and they don't want to go in, just say "Hello, your beef noodles have arrived" and are found to be abnormal, which is really aggrieved.
"It's all about your 'hello'. Ren Huashang shook his head, "It's still Junsuo who protects you too well, and lacks basic thinking in terms of details." How can there be a waiter in a guest house that is so polite as to say hello?"
Dante was struck by lightning and sat down on the ground in despair.
"And you, Yuan Xiao. Ren Huashang turned to Yuan Xiao and knocked on the cover of the notebook with the pen in his hand.
"Me?" Yuan Xiao looked unclear, "I think I've done a good job, do you want to praise me, boss?"
"If you're a newcomer to the club, I really should praise you for your quick response and decisive action. Ren Huashang's tone changed sharply, "But you are an experienced demon hunter, shouldn't you have done what you just did? Are you embarrassed to praise me? Let me ask you, why didn't you think about the problem of support in advance? Did you set your surveillance distance 200 meters away to show your running speed? This time it's lucky, next time you rush over, the corpses of your teammates are cold!"
Yuan Xiao's expression froze, and then he realized that he seemed to have made a stupid mistake, scratched his head and did not speak.
"As for you, Sun Haiqing. Ren Huashang turned to Sun Haiqing, who wrote the word "afraid" on his face, "The words of encouragement and comfort just now have been finished, and now it's time for you to reflect on it." ”
"First, in the face of the attack of the opponent's ability, you stand there like a quail and do not move, insisting that Dante rush over to protect you from danger, which is the most typical desertion behavior. On the battlefield, I already have the right to put you to death, understand?"
Without waiting for Sun Haiqing's reaction, Ren Huashang continued.
"Second, after the original owl arrived, he had already given a very obvious order, and I am sure you heard it too. Even before that, I gave an order to the same effect, please repeat. Ren Huasheng's tone was extremely cold, and she made a "please" gesture to Sun Haiqing.
"Take back the commissioned item, kill the owner, and destroy this guest house. Sun Haiqing repeated it a little chokedly, and couldn't help crying.
"Ruined this guest house, you know the meaning of those seven words. Ren Huashang didn't mean to let her go, and continued to ask.
"But, they ......" Sun Haiqing opened his mouth and was about to explain something, but was directly interrupted by Ren Huasheng.
"No, Miss Witcher. Ren Huashang raised her hand, stopped Sun Haiqing's behavior of wanting to continue explaining, and continued, "You don't understand my order at all, you don't even know anything. Because you can't see two parolees on the first floor who are planning a kidnapping, you can't see the beasts on the second floor selling intimate photos of their daughters, and you can't see a teenager being bullied inhumanly across the street from your room. ”
"We are witchers, the hidden guardians of this world, we are on the edge of sin and depravity, and none of us can believe it. But when you carry out a mission, your companion is the only person you can trust, you have to believe that your companion and you have a minimum of humanity, you have to believe in the supreme law of all demon hunters - my heart and my deeds are as clear as a mirror, everything I do is righteous, and you have to believe that all demon hunters will never give up the life of every human who is eligible to be saved. ”
Ren Huashang looked directly into Sun Haiqing's eyes.
"Welcome, Demon Hunter, Sun Haiqing. ”
