Chapter 163: A Line of Mist

Shen Ming walked out of the restaurant, perhaps because his mood was too depressed, the blue sky looked gray in his eyes.

Listening to an off-white retro-style car not far from the restaurant, Shen Ming opened the door and sat in the back seat, and then there was a slight engine roar, and the car started to drive into the street.

After sitting in the car, Shen Mingjiang leaned back in the seat, as if he was extremely tired and closed his eyes.

The sound insulation at the back of the carriage is very good, and the sound of the traffic outside cannot be transmitted into it.

After closing his eyes for a moment, Shen Ming suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Connect the principal." ”

The driver drove the vehicle step by step, but he completed Shen Ming's request as soon as possible.

After a while, the light at the back of the car suddenly dimmed, as if it were completely cut off from the space in front of the car.

Soon, a beam of projection appeared in the carriage, and an old man quickly sat next to Shen Ming, under the extremely high-definition projection, the old man seemed to be sitting next to him, this person was Tianying's principal Qiu Jianlin.

Qiu Jianlin looked at Shen Ming and said, "The negotiation is over?"

Shen Ming nodded and said, "It ended ten minutes ago." ”

Qiu Jianlin said: "It's a little longer than I thought. ”

Shen Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "That's because there are not many conditions proposed by Mi Luoyang. ”

Qiu Jianlin said: "This guy always boasts that he doesn't care about the world on weekdays, as if he is a Taoist immortal who is a master of the world, but he is a good person in his bones, it is really hard for him to be so calm and not show his head in the past few months." ”

Then Qiu Jianlin said: "Anyway, what does he want to talk to Tianying about this time?"

After Shen Ming paused, he first told Qiu Jianlin about Hugo's request.

Qiu Jianlin nodded and said: "You can agree to this matter, although Jasmine's girl is really a good seedling, but at this time, she can only abandon the pawn to protect the car." After that, Qiu Jianlin's eyes glanced at Shen Ming and said: "This should be just one of the things, Mi Luoyang will not only mention this one request, as an intermediary, he may ask for more things." ”

Shen Ming was deeply impressed by Qiu Jianlin's expectations, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mi Luoyang, he wants the blueprint for the [Slaughter] mecha. ”

Shen Ming's voice was not very heavy when he said this, obviously afraid that he would anger the teacher.

However, when Qiu Jianlin heard this, he was not surprised, he just nodded quite calmly, as if it was the same.

Qiu Jianlin's reaction surprised Shen Ming, and after years of getting along, Shen Ming thought that he had already figured out the teacher's temper. Although Qiu Jianlin's beard is white and he looks kind, his character is definitely like fire, and he is determined to kill with every move.

For Mi Luoyang's outrageous request, he must be furious, and he is bound to be furious and at least scold Mi Luoyang, but none of this happened.

Shen Ming stared at Qiu Jianlin's figure projection, and then whispered slightly: "Teacher, what he wants is the blueprint of [Massacre]. ”

Qiu Jianlin's "gaze" swept Shen Ming and said, "Although I am old, I am not so bad that I can't hear what you say. ”

Shen Ming coughed lightly, he heard the annoyance from Qiu Jianlin's words, Shen Ming knew that although the teacher looked quite calm, he was still extremely unhappy in his heart.

Qiu Jianlin said: "How did you express your position?"

Shen Ming said: "I agreed to the former's conditions, but did not agree to the latter." ”

Qiu Jianlin said: "So will Mi Luoyang agree to the mediation of this incident?"

Shen Ming shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be..."

"Confused!" Qiu Jianlin sighed, Shen Ming was stunned, and he still didn't reflect the intention of the teacher's words.

Qiu Jianlin said: "No matter what, you should agree to come down, so that your status and attitude in Tianying can be revealed, even if you come back to discuss with me, it will not hurt at all." But if you are so careful and hesitant, it will make people underestimate you, and don't forget that you are the head of Tianying in the future!"

After Qiu Jianlin said this, he sighed softly, as if he was helpless at Shen Ming's move.

Shen Ming said: "But the teacher... Anyway... We can't hand over the blueprints of the Massacre!"

Qiu Jianlin said: "Oh, then do you have any good solutions?"

Shen Ming said: "We... We can reach out to Hugo and negotiate with him. ”

Qiu Jianlin smiled slightly: "Do you want to get rid of Mi Luoyang, the 'middleman'?"

Shen Ming said: "This is more beneficial to us." ”

Qiu Jianlin said: "Do you think that only you can think of this kind of favorable thing, and neither Hugo nor Mi Luoyang is aware of it?"

"This..."Shen Ming hesitated slightly, it is true that Tianying, Hugo, and Mi Luoyang are not too secrets, and if you want to make contact, you can't use a third party to make contact.

Qiu Jianlin said: "We all underestimate the child named Hugo, his mood is far from being comparable to that of ordinary adults, and it was indeed my negligence to target him in the first place." ”

Then he said to Shen Ming: "Hugo has taken away the heart furnace of [Slaughter], and his own planning and action ability have reached an extremely high level, even if you can do this?"

Shen Ming shook his head slowly.

"Why do you think such a shrewd man would let Miloon negotiate with us as an intermediary? So there are two reasons why he is using Miloon to negotiate with us. ”

"First of all, he has a great distrust of our Tianying, and the Dunker Island incident has caused an irreparable rift between the two sides, which he is naturally well aware of. In addition, we used Jasmine to conduct experiments on the development of the [Slaughter] mecha, which made him very angry, so on the one hand, he could not communicate with us peacefully, and on the other hand, he also wanted to show his anger, and this attitude has no room for relaxation. ”

"On the other hand, Hugo was also clearly aware of the inadequacy of the relationship between the Metropolitan Police Department and us, and the two sides were not monolithic at all. At this time, all he can do is to fall into the well and gradually expand the rift between the two sides, and entrusting Mi Luoyang as an intermediary in the negotiation is the best choice. ”

He knew that Mi Luoyang would inevitably put forward certain harsh conditions in order to contain us, and these conditions, whether or not they would promote the outcome of the negotiation, would make the contradictions between us more and more intense, and even if we were united by certain interests in the future, there would be suspicion and resentment, and this feeling could never be resolved. ”

Shen Ming said: "But in this case, he will not be able to reach a reconciliation with us." ”

Qiu Jianlin sighed and said, "Do you really think that Hugo's first choice is reconciliation? From the very beginning, what he wanted was to solve it by force, and from the moment he snatched the [Massacre] Heart Furnace, his purpose could not be clearer. Perhaps it was some of Miloon's views that made him change his attitude and opt for this milder and more aggressive approach. It can also be seen from this that he really cares about Jasmine. ”

"Miloon should have known about Hugo's thoughts, but even then he was willing to play the 'blackface role' because he needed to. ”

"Although the hunter is a sheriff of the Metropolitan Police Department, he is physically a desecrate. For many years, these people have been doing the darkest things in Moon Island, and they have always lived in the shadows, which is unacceptable to ordinary people. ”

"There is also a truth that Mi Luoyang has always been well aware of, that is, 'the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks', and its ability to reach today's status can be said to be completely dependent on suppressing the blasphemers. If one day the Blapherd is really completely wiped out by it, then the others will be the next ones to be destroyed, and at that time, whether it is Tianying, the Templar or the Tsukishima government behind it, including Lunshen Hao, all of us will put aside their suspicions for the time being and completely destroy them. Therefore, the existence of the blasphemer is the best protection for Miloon. ”

"The appearance of [the massacre] is a desecrater's nightmare, and it is also his Miloch's. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Ming nodded sympathetically, as early as when Mi Luoyang was negotiating with him, Shen Ming felt something.

Although Miloon concludes by mentioning that the upcoming Tsukishima War will evolve into a war between humans and blasphemers, Miloon's role in this war is not entirely clear.

Like a virus bomb used on the battlefield, it is effective against the enemy, but it will also be sealed or even completely destroyed after the end of the war.

Qiu Jianlin continued: "Mi Luoyang is aware of his situation and crisis, so he is only now actively planning a way out for himself. Look at the way he looks now, flattering us and the blasphemer, like a dog. ”

But the dog's request was impossible to refuse.

Shen Ming said secretly in his heart.

There was a brief silence in the carriage, and then Qiu Jianlin said, "Blueprint... can be given to him. ”

Although Shen Ming didn't exclaim when he heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Teacher, isn't that a hasty decision? ”

Qiu Jianlin shook his head and said, "It's not hasty. Mi Luoyang wanted to take this opportunity to play Tianying's autumn wind and snatch the hole cards in Tianying's hand, but he didn't expect that he might not be able to eat this autumn wind completely. After that, Qiu Jianlin's face showed a cold smile.

"Don't forget that the most precious treasure in this world is never a few broken blueprints, but people. ”

"[The Carnage] has entered the stage of success, but there is still a lot of instability in it, and I don't think anyone in this world can surpass Rogerd's skill in terms of improvement. It can be said that Rogerd's is an important card in the entire [Slaughter] mecha plan. ”

"Secondly, driving [Massacre] is not something that ordinary people can do, and we have sacrificed so many students to select only three qualified people. If this kind of experiment is also carried out in the small nine places, I am afraid that even their hounds will not be able to do it. ”

Shen Ming frowned and said, "However, there is also a Moon Island military behind Mi Luoyang. ”

Qiu Jianlin said: "He can only rely on the military, but the military is different from Tianying and the Holy Church, the whole system is too many factions, in addition to facing the 'external enemy', it also has to carry out internal struggles, I don't think anyone will bet too much on it, because they can't afford it." ”

"And if Miloon gives the blueprint to the Templar, then he must be crazy. And if we take 10,000 steps back, if the Templar wants to completely master the [Massacre], it will also have to lose a few good knights, which will not hurt us. ”

Shen Ming listened to Qiu Jianlin's words and suddenly had a feeling of no harm, as if handing over the blueprint would be of great benefit to Tianying and his side.

Qiu Jianlin said: "I also understand how much loss the [Massacre] technique will have to Tianying if it is handed over, it can be said that it is the hole card that I have always pinned high hopes on to turn over, hoping that it can be used to counterkill the desecrator and Tianying." But now it seems that this technology can't become a secret for reading Tianying alone, otherwise Tianying will completely become the target of all sides. ”

After that, Qiu Jianlin sneered again.

Mi Luoyang must have been very proud in his heart when he came up with this trick, he thought that he had choked Tianying's life, but it was too simple. He thought that [Slaughter] was my last hole card, but in fact I had a better plan. ”

After that, Qiu Jianlin looked at Shen Ming proudly and said, "Don't worry, my child." I believe that I will eventually remove these obstacles for you, and in the future you will inherit an unprecedented and powerful Tianying!"

Looking at the confident teacher, Shen Ming felt completely confused. The seemingly hopeless and pessimistic situation seemed to be completely resolved under the teacher's explanation, and all the advantages fell to his side.

He didn't know how many dark chess pieces had not been released in the teacher's hand, and Shen Ming only knew how small and powerless his existence was in the whirlpool of this battle.

Qiu Jianlin didn't notice Shen Ming's loneliness, and he continued to instruct Shen Ming: "You don't have to reply as soon as possible to agree to the conditions, just reply within the deadline, let this guy Mi Luoyang be happy for a while." ”

"The rest of the matter will be handed over to you, you take Fujiwara to the Minova Shrine for a trip to teach Roger and Su Zhen a good lesson, today's incident can be said to be messed up by the two of them. I don't want to see a second time like this!"

"Yes, teacher. Shen Ming lowered his head and agreed.

"I'm relieved that you'll take care of everything. Qiu Jianlin said indifferently, his eyes showing pride and pride.

"Kid, you have to withstand the pressure at this critical time, as long as you get through all this, the victory will be ours. ”

Shen Ming nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Qiu Jianlin said: "Okay, I still have some things to deal with here, and I have something to contact later." ”

With that, the holographic projection slowly dissipated, and the light in the carriage returned. Everything seems like a dream of Nanke, but it is by no means illusory.

Shen Ming closed his eyes again, leaned back on his seat, and let himself drive into the distance under the load of the vehicle.
