Chapter 228 Come up with a plan
In less than ten minutes after Novartis left the suite where Dracula was, the conversation between the two had been narrated by Novartis to Ye Xuan in its original form.
"What! let you replace Lin Kong?"
After listening to Novartis's report, Ye Xuan was also a little surprised.
As early as when he planted Gu worms for Novartis, Ye Xuan had already learned from the latter's mouth that the real purpose of the vampire party coming to Huahai was actually to obtain the head change technique in Lin Jiangnan's hands. The purpose of obtaining the head swap is to save the beloved woman of the vampire leader Dracula.
Because of this, Ye Xuan knew that time would definitely be extremely short for the vampire side, and this was the reason why he was able to tolerate Lin Kong continuing to be controlled in the Providence Hotel.
In Ye Xuan's opinion, as the only way in the hands of the vampire that can obtain the head swapping technique, even if Lin Kong's current state is very bad, there should be no danger to his life. Otherwise, what will the vampire side use in exchange for Lin Jiangnan, and what will be used to obtain the head swapping technique.
But what Ye Xuan didn't expect was that Dracula would come up with such a way to replace Lin Kong as a hostage with Novartis! In this way, Lin Kong's situation was really dangerous.
Because since there is already a Novartis that can be faked, then Lin Kong has no value that can be used!
Ye Xuan didn't know if the vampire would be as heinous as the witch Gu people in Southern Xinjiang, but even if he wasn't so evil, he would never be a good person! Now that Lin Kong's illness is getting worse and worse, since he has no use value, then the other party will definitely not be kind enough to treat him! Novartis's previous report has indeed confirmed this, and Lin Kong's current situation is basically no different from fending for himself.
Arresting Lin Kong, but just leaving him to fend for himself, the vampire's approach made Ye Xuan's heart inexplicably rise with anger.
"Take this opportunity, can you find a way to get Lin Kong out!" Ye Xuan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked almost in a low voice.
"This... I'm afraid it's difficult!" Novartis' voice hesitated for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Now that they have decided to let me replace Lin Kong, then it is impossible for him to appear in front of you." ā
"What about Lin Kong's safety?" Ye Xuan asked, "Will they just kill Lin Kong just to be on the safe side?"
"This..."Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Novartis was directly stunned.
Now that Lin Kong has no use value at all, will Dracula choose to kill him directly?
Novartis thought about it carefully and found that this is completely possible!
"If Lin Kong dies, then you don't have to live!" Seeing that Nova didn't speak, Ye Xuan said coldly.
"Don't don't, don't, Lord Ye, give me some time, give me some time!" As soon as Ye Xuan said this, Novartis immediately panicked, and hurriedly said: "I'll find a way, no matter what, I will definitely not let Lin Kong have anything to do, please rest assured Lord Ye." ā
After speaking, regardless of whether Ye Xuan was still monitoring him, Novartis directly turned around and rushed towards the room where Dracula was. Because his speed was so fast, he even bumped into several vampire barons along the way, but at the moment, time was urgent, and Novartis couldn't care so much.
"Hey, Novartis, where are you going in such a hurry?"
At the door of Dracula's room, Novartis met a monster who usually had a good relationship with him, and the monster couldn't help but ask when he saw Novartis in a hurry.
Novartis glanced at the monster, he didn't intend to pay attention to the other party, but when he was about to knock on Dracula's door, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked, "Joseph, you just came out of the adult's room?"
"Yes!" replied the monster named Joseph, "My lord told me to do something." ā
Hearing the other party's answer, Novartis moved and said seemingly casually: "Joseph, what did the Lord tell you to do?"
"Actually, it's nothing!" Joseph leaned closer to Novartis and said, "Do you remember the human kid that the adults asked you to catch a few days ago?"
"Remember!" Novis said, "When I got him back, he was still sick and still in a coma." Because of this, I've been worried about whether adults will punish me. ā
"Oh, if that's the case, then Novartis you don't have to worry!" Joseph said with a smile: "My lord has just said, let me kill that guy!"
"What! Your Excellency asked you to kill Lin Kong?" Nova was startled, his body shook, and he directly turned into a human form, pulling Joseph and said, "Joseph, you can't kill Lin Kong now, I, I'm still useful." ā
"Novartis, what's wrong with you?" Joseph looked at Novartis anxiously, a little unclear.
"Iā" Novartis was about to reply, when Dracula's voice came from the room.
"Novartis, Joseph, what are you two arguing about outside?"
Hearing Dracula's voice, Novartis froze, looked at Joseph, then pushed open the door behind him, and the two walked in together.
"Lord Viscount!"
After entering the room, Novartis and Joseph respectfully saluted Dracula.
"Tell me, what are you two arguing about?" Dracula stood at the window with the thick curtains drawn, and as long as he was in the room, he seemed to always have a goblet in his hand.
"My lord, that's the case!" Before Joseph could speak, Novartis replied first, "I heard Joseph say that you ordered him to kill Lin Kong, but Lin Kong still has some effect on me, so I stopped him." ā
Dracula glanced back at Novartis and didn't speak.
"My lord, that's right!" Novartis continued, "Didn't you say that you wanted me to replace Lin Kong, but I didn't think I was too familiar with Lin Kong, so I wanted to observe him for a little more time. Otherwise, if something goes wrong during the hostage exchange, my safety is a trivial matter, mainly because I am afraid of ruining the adult's plan. ā
Monsters are cunning by nature, and when they were outside the door, Novartis had already thought of their rhetoric, and at this time, they naturally answered in a reasonable and orderly manner, without panic.
"Oh, I see!" Hearing Novartis' explanation, Dracula lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "Novartis, your concerns do have some reason, so let's keep Lin Kong for now, and when you feel that you don't need him anymore, you can dispose of him easily." ā
"Okay sir, if there's nothing to do, then I'll go to Lin Kong first. ā
Novartis replied respectfully, and then left the suite.
"How about Lord Ye, I just said that I can keep Lin Kong, right?"
As soon as he left the room where Dracula was, Novartis hurriedly said to Ye Xuan.
"Good job!" Ye Xuan's approving voice came from Novartis's consciousness.
Just now, Ye Xuan had been monitoring everything Novartis was doing through Gu worms and secret methods, and he naturally heard the conversation between the latter and Dracula clearly! This made Ye Xuan have to secretly rejoice, fortunately, he thought in time that the vampire side might kill Lin Kong, so that Novartis quickly found a way to crack it, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"My lord, what should I do next?" Although he was coerced to do things for Ye Xuan, what he did was recognized and praised, which still made Novartis's heart a little happy.
"Next..."Ye Xuan's voice paused, and suddenly asked, "Novartis, did Dracula say when the hostage exchange will take place?"
"No!" Novartis replied in his consciousness, "He only said that he would contact the adult immediately, and as for the specific time, you still need the adult to negotiate with him." ā
"Oh, got it!" Ye Xuan said: "Take advantage of this opportunity, you hurry up and go to Lin Kong! Remember, you must take care of Lin Kong! If he has any accidents, it is still the same sentence, if he dies, you will die!"
After speaking, Ye Xuan cut off the connection between the two.
Novartis's expression froze, and a kind of dissatisfaction immediately swelled up in his heart! To be honest, although he is also doing things for others, Novartis can barely be called a subordinate to Dracula. But here in Ye Xuan, he felt that he was just a tool in the other party's hands.
This feeling of being threatened with death at every turn made Novartis feel extremely aggrieved and angry! But no matter how aggrieved and angry he was, what could he do? He didn't even dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, and he didn't even dare to have the idea of venting in his heart! Ye Xuan's severance of contact was Ye Xuan's business, and as the controlled party, he couldn't feel whether Ye Xuan was still monitoring him.
"Alas!"
Standing in place and hesitating for a while, Novartis shook his head dejectedly and honestly took care of Lin Kong.
In the basement of a large commercial building next to the Providence Hotel, Ye Xuan did not continue to depict the formation.
As far as the current situation is concerned, because there is already a replacement for Novartis, then even if the hostages are exchanged, Lin Kong will not be taken out of the Providence Hotel! And since Lin Kong will not be taken out of the Providence Hotel, there is only one possibility left to save him from the vampire's side.
That is to enter the interior of the Providence Hotel.
And this is also a question that Ye Xuan has been thinking about all along!
In terms of strength, Ye Xuan is fully capable of entering the Providence Hotel, after all, with Zhou Tian Ruyi in his hand, if he really wants to enter, there is no difficulty at all.
But the main problem now is that Lin Kong himself is just an ordinary person, and now that his physical condition is extremely poor, even if Ye Xuan can enter the Providence Hotel, how can he successfully bring him out.
In terms of construction area alone, the Providence Hotel is not too small, and it can even be said that in this part of Huahai, the Providence Hotel can definitely be called one of the largest hotels in Huahai. If Lin Kong was just kidnapped by some small force, even if the other party really had any masters, it would not be too difficult for Ye Xuan to save people!
But the current situation is that the Providence Hotel is full of people from the Southern Xinjiang Witch Gu and the Vampires! This has led to a very high density of people in the Providence Hotel, which was not too small! If Ye Xuan rashly rushes into the Providence Hotel to save people, then once he makes any movement, it is very likely that he will be surrounded by a large number of enemies! In that case, it will become difficult for Ye Xuan to get out by himself, let alone rescue Lin Kong again.
In other words, if you want to rescue Lin Kong, you must choose a time when the interior of the Providence Hotel is empty, or when the high-end strength of the vampire side is all gathered in one place.
So how should they find such an opportunity? As the current base camp of the vampire side, even if it is really time to exchange hostages, it is impossible for the other party to take away most of their strength! After all, they still have to guard against the Southern Xinjiang Witch Gu under the same roof, and if they leave too many people at one time, they will definitely not be at ease.
Originally, Ye Xuan was very troubled about this matter, but after contacting Novartis just now, he suddenly thought of a very feasible plan.
ć Now all he needs to do is how to refine the plan so that it can be carried out without fail.
