"......" Jiang Yao was silent, unresponsive, and without any expression on his face.

Yunlan carefully observed Jiang Yao's face, trying to find some emotional expression, but unexpectedly found that she couldn't see through this young guy, just as she was thinking about whether to say something more, she saw Jiang Yao in front of her slowly turned her head, and suddenly smiled.

"Hehe, here we go again......" Although Jiang Yao smiled on his face, there was no ridicule in his words.

"Next, do you want to say that Xiao Yuan is still alive, and if you want to see him, you want me to join you as a 'Spirit Imperial Divine Envoy' and use my special physique to help you do things?"

"This ......" Yun Lan was stunned for a moment, speechless for a while.

"I remember, at the beginning, your leader said in front of me, 'Ah Li is the only clue to find Xiao Yuan', but what turned out to be? In fact, at that time, you already knew Xiao Yuan's true identity and whereabouts, and you just wanted to continue to hang me as your bait, so you didn't say it, right?"

Jiang Yao sat back on the sofa, staring at Yunlan's delicate face opposite, and his tone was cold.

"From the beginning of inexplicably instilling me with the 'power of the beast', to the subsequent series of step-by-step actions, in order to make me obediently used by you, do you still have fewer lies? Maybe the previous deliberate erasure of Xiao Yuan's existence must have been the bait you used to lure me into your trap, right? And this time, do you plan to use the same routine to hang me?"

"......" Yunlan lowered his head with a complicated expression and said nothing.

"I can't trust you anymore. Jiang Yao shook his head and looked at the mottled figures in the rain outside the window. "Maybe your world shouldn't be for a mortal like me to set foot in. ”

“…… I'm sorry to have you go through this, but please believe that we're not as bad as you say. Facing Jiang Yao's anger, Yun Lan was not annoyed this time, but opened his mouth calmly.

"The Chief, he has always been watching for you, and he is secretly protecting you. The incident at the villa in the West District was an accident, and the reason why I didn't tell you Xiao Yuan's identity was because I was afraid of irritating you...... If we told you that Xiao Yuan was the corpse dove that you knocked down with your own hands, would you believe it?" Yun Lan looked at Jiang Yao's eyes and said word by word. "Or rather, you...... Can you accept this fact?"

"......" Jiang Yao's heart suddenly ached, and he turned his head unnaturally, obviously Yunlan's words pierced the most sensitive part of his heart.

"Maybe we have some ways of doing things that make you feel dissatisfied, but we never wanted to harm you, and if it weren't for that, the leader wouldn't have handed over the 'Xuanwu Bead' he had been carrying with him for many years, nor would he privately settle the things you caused as a hacker. ”

Jiang Yao was stunned and glanced at Yunlan in surprise.

"Over the years, you have not been able to find a job because of the problems of your past resume, and you can only rely on shady means to take orders as a hacker to make a living, although you are relatively principled, just for some clients who are fighting lawsuits to investigate information and collect evidence, and you have not committed a traitor, but your behavior is undoubtedly enough for you to be locked up for a few years, not to mention that you also hacked into the main server of Qiushui Group last time to investigate intelligence, right?" Yun Lan said bluntly.

"You all know ......"

"Your self-righteous cleverness is just a pediatric in front of the state apparatus. Yun Lan shook his head and sighed. "Originally, the leader wouldn't let me tell you these words, but I don't want to misunderstand him, and I don't want to see you go further and further down this evil path, and even the leader won't be able to protect you when the time comes. ”

“…… Even with these little cleverness, I still haven't saved Xiao Yuan......" Jiang Yao lowered his head and buried his head in his hands, and after his hot mind gradually cooled, what remained was deep sadness and remorse.

"I've been thinking about what the distress text message Xiao Yuan and I sent at the beginning, originally I thought he was in danger and hoped that I would save him, but now it seems that this is his last cry before he is completely controlled and loses his sense of self, hoping that I can stop him, but I am still a step too late after all, and even ...... And killed him in the end......"

"That...... In fact, Xiao Yuan ......" Yunlan looked at the painful Jiang Yao in front of her, as if she couldn't bear it, she opened her mouth, but quickly remembered something, and stopped halfway through her words, biting her lip and looking away, avoiding the questioning gaze cast by the man in front of her.

“…… What's wrong?"

"No, nothing. Xiao Yuan...... The corpse dove has re-entered the reincarnation, you must know that once the demon hands over part of its soul, unless it dies, I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of the fate of being controlled by others, I think...... You still helped him in the end, and he was relieved......" Yun Lan muttered, not looking at Jiang Yao, the sad eyes of the other party made her feel heavy.

"Is it...... Jiang Yao's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he fell silent again.

"If you really want to compensate Xiao Yuan, then all you can do is find out who is behind the manipulation of him, but that black hand is not something you can catch alone, besides...... Your own crisis hasn't passed yet, has it?" Yun Lan said, looking at the black mark on Jiang Yao's collarbone, and sighed.

"Actually, you guessed it right at first, I did come here mainly to convince you to join us and help us investigate the real culprit behind the 'Game of Death', but I also know that you need time to calm down...... Come back to me when you figure it out, you should know how to find me. ”

Yun Lan said, stood up, but as if he remembered something, he took out an object from his bag and put it in front of Jiang Yao.

"By the way, this is what the leader asked me to bring to you. This thing, I think...... It is most appropriate for you to keep it. ”

Jiang Yao slowly raised his eyes and moved his gaze to the small pendant placed on the table.

It was a cuckoo wood carving with one of its wings broken, rough workmanship but had been carefully cared for by that man.

"Smack...... Bang ......

The drizzle outside the house gradually turned heavy and finally turned into a torrential rain, casting a bleak shadow over the bustling city.

Yun Lan opened the umbrella and walked out of the café, just two steps away and couldn't help but turn around, looking at the lonely back with slightly trembling shoulders in the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Hey......"

Yunlan sighed, looked up at the overcast sky, then turned and disappeared into the rain.

-----------------------------

“…… Are you sure those notes didn't hit me?"

In the dark, a middle-aged man with oily hair and pink face held the phone, nervously confirming something, and with the report on the phone, the nervous expression on the man's face finally relaxed.

"Great, that's great......" The man wiped the cold sweat from his face and embedded his fat body in the office chair, which creaked. "It's okay if the person surnamed Liao is dead, even if the police find out about the orphanage, dirty water can be poured on the dead person, anyway, now the witness is dead and crazy, no matter how much I investigate, it doesn't matter to me. ”

The relaxed man lit a cigarette, puffed on the smoke ring, and said.

"Tsk, I knew that there would be so many things, and I shouldn't have instructed them to build the land of the orphanage, but now it's good, I didn't make any money, but I almost planted myself. ”

The man said angrily, and suddenly remembered another thing, and hurriedly asked, "Oh yes, 'that thing'...... It seems that a little bastard invaded our group's main server before, and he didn't see anything he shouldn't see, right?"

The man said, looking at a certain photo on the table, the young man in the photo was white and delicate, and although his eyes looked a little sleepless, his eyes were firm.

"Tsk...... Still no, if 'that thing' is known by the strip, I won't be able to lose ten heads...... For the sake of safety, I just didn't do it and did it, so as not to cause any extraneous branches...... Hey, are you listening, hey, ......?"

"Nourish...... Nourishing ......

After a steady stream of cacophony, there was a sudden silence on the phone. The man scolded, threw away his mobile phone, leaned back in the leather chair and smoked.

He thought back to the mysterious person who visited more than half a month ago, and he had also seen with his own eyes the terrifying absolute power of the other party, which was already far beyond the scope of his cognition, and he had no doubt that as long as the other party moved his little finger, he would be left with no bones in an instant. Therefore, he succumbed, and gave in extremely completely, not to mention asking him to provide a villa to hide the corpse, and even to select the victim and lure the victim to a paved dead end, which he did without hesitation.

Of course, he didn't have a conscience in the first place, but then the "Game of Death" made such a big fuss that it almost affected him, which he didn't expect.

"What a shame...... No, it doesn't matter if it's a human or not, Lao Tzu doesn't want to meet ...... again" The man was muttering, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly found that there was a figure standing in front of him at some point.

"Who!?" the man was startled, but when he saw the face of the dark shadow in front of him, the expression on his face changed from wariness, to surprise, and finally to a kind of flattery of fear.

"Ah...... Yes, it's you...... Disrespectful and disrespectful. The man smiled and hurriedly wanted to get up to greet him, but he was embarrassed to find that his fat body was stuck in the leather chair and couldn't get out for a while.

"Sorry, sorry...... Why are you the only one today?" The man struggled as he rolled his eyes and glanced around, but he didn't seem to see the creature that had terrified him.

"Hehe, it's just a trivial matter, you don't need to bother my master. A soft female voice came out faintly, but it was the figure who smiled and opened her mouth. "Let's end this time, you cooperated well before, and you worked hard. ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, what else does that adult want, just say, I will definitely go to the soup and fire in the next place, and I will never give up!" The man wiped away the cold sweat, and his obscene gaze quietly swept up and down the shadow in front of him, and offered flattery again and again.

"Oh~ That's what you said. The figure said, stretched out his Qianqianyu finger towards the man's eyebrows, and before the man could say anything, his eyes suddenly froze, and the obscenity on his face had not faded, and his body collapsed on his stomach, and there was no sound.

"It's really dirty my ......hands to take your cheap life," the figure said coldly, then picked up the photo on the table, and his bright red nails caressed the face of the delicate man in the photo.

"Interesting little one, let me see you...... What else is there to do~"

A blue flame lit up in the darkness, slowly expanding and growing, and finally engulfed the entire room like a spark, and the photo with Jiang Yao's head also fluttered and fell in the flames, gradually distorted, and finally ...... along with the objects and corpses in the room Reduced to ashes.
