Chapter XVIII: Correspondence
Shangri-La Hotel's innermost room on the fifth floor has a balcony that Constantine has specifically requested, because he likes to move the chairs in the room to the balcony outside, and sit quietly and condescendingly looking at the scenery downstairs.
"Bell!"
A powerful knock sounded on the door, and with a sentence of "please come in" that floated from the balcony through the bedroom to the door, Xu Ruoqing, who was dressed in casual clothes, pushed the door in, holding a few paper documents in his hands.
Xu Ruoqing went straight through the bedroom to the balcony, and stood on the chair looking down at Konstantin, his expression was always serious at the time of work, "Let me ask you a question, can the 'reverse person' control the behavior of the deceased before death?"
"No, you can't. Konstantin turned around and looked at Xu Ruoqing with interest, obviously a little interested in his question, "What's the matter?"
"Then it seems that this 'contrarian' did not hesitate to risk his life to come to the scene in person, and he wanted to ask us to have a good talk. β
Xu Ruoqing stretched out his hand, and on the paper in his hand was a series of camera screenshots, Konstantin took it over and took it carefully, as his fingertips continued to flip, the indifferent smile on his face turned into a cold snort, "Zhongling Central Square, this ghost place again, this "rebellious" will really choose a place." β
"This place, what's wrong?" I didn't expect Konstantin to have such an expression, which couldn't help but cause Xu Ruoqing to guess whether this place had something to do with his past, after all, he was still in a state of half-understanding about the person in front of him.
"No, it's just some unpleasant experience, you've read the message he left on the scene, how about it, how much credibility do you think it has?" Konstantin didn't seem to want to discuss his past with Xu Ruoqing at all, and directly led the topic to this mission, not giving Ruoqing a chance to lead the topic back.
"If it's time to believe that he has secretly assembled a powerful army, then there is no doubt that all of our previous speculations were wrong, but as things stand, there is no evidence to support the 'contrarian' claim, so I think this is a bluff, but..."
"But if he is really alone or has only a few people around him, where does he have the courage to completely expose himself and meet us in the central square of Zhongling? Konstantin took Xu Ruoqing's words, he got up from his chair, straightened out his black leather coat, and leaned back against the railing to look at Xu Ruoqing.
"Or maybe he's got the power to kill all of us who show up, so he doesn't have any fear even if he's alone. β
Then he wouldn't have to use this sneaky way at all. "To Konstantin's latter speculation, Xu Ruoqing gave a negative answer," Like my sister said, he's a monster who takes pleasure cleaning up the world, and if he really has that kind of strength, then the first thing he has to do is announce his existence to the world and kill all the well-known heavy criminals, so it's obvious that the premise for the possibility of an ambush and trap is only that his men actually have a considerable amount of power, and as a single criminal, he wouldn't do that at all, so I don't think it can be ruled out that all of these assumptions are true, and everything he did before was to lure us out and kill us allγ β
"So, you still think that this kid Lin Shujian has actually set up a trap in that square and is waiting for us. The portrait in the image in Konstantin's hand is Lin Shujian! He appeared at every crime scene, coupled with the previous suspicion of him, then there is no doubt that he is almost certain that he is the "contrarian" that L.S has been looking for!
As for Xu Ruoqing's analysis, Konstantin agreed, no matter what the other party's strength is now, but there is no doubt that there are traps, three days, and three days are the agreed meeting period, and he must come up with the traps that the other party may lay, thinking that only he knows what the power behind the "contrarian" is? !
It's the most twisted and terrifying monster in the history of Scarlet Night, but it's also the most emotional! I once gave him the power of death with my own hands, so now if I want to complete my goal, I must face this monster head-on!
"In three days, you and Rig have laid out the counterattack strategy together, and then I will go alone. Before Xu Ruoqing could refute Konstantin's words, Konstantin's words were choked back again with a laugh, "Don't worry, I, like you, still have my own purpose unaccomplished, and I will never allow myself to die in any way until I meet that person." β
was silent for a while, Xu Ruoqing had to admit that he had indeed been completely suppressed by Konstantin in terms of words, and no matter how much he argued with him now, it was useless, since the other party had already surfaced that he was not, so he also agreed with Konstantin's approach, but Konstantin actually had his own desires and wants, which made Ruoqing a little surprised, and he thought that people like Konstantin should be the kind of people who look down on the world and are uninhibited.
"Is that person important to you?"
"Yes, it's important to me, but it's like I'm not very important to her. Konstantin's smile didn't know whether he was mocking others or laughing at himself, anyway, he obviously saw his loneliness in Ruoqing's eyes, but this loneliness was very peculiar, Konstantin did not feel sad because of it, but on the contrary, he was a little immersed in it, which made Xu Ruoqing a little unpredictable.
"If you can..."Konstantin sighed in front of Xu Ruoqing for the first time, and continued to reply with a wry smile that was thoughtless, "If you can, I hope that the next meeting can make her feel worthwhile." β
This guy can't be a woman he likes, otherwise how could he be like this... Of course, all this Xu Ruoqing was just guessing psychologically, and he knew that Konstantin would definitely ignore him when he asked him, so he left the balcony after signaling to Konstantin, although he wanted to ask him about the situation of the Lin family, but it was obvious that the current atmosphere seemed to be unsuitable for this topic, and it would seem more blunt to mention it forcibly, and Konstantin is the kind of person who will talk more only when he is interested, and it is useless to ask now, it is better to ask later.
And at the moment when Xu Ruoqing looked at the door, Konstantin's eyes became extremely sharp in an instant, in his clear eyes, countless thoughts surged by, indeed Xu Ruoqing's analysis was in place, but it always seemed to make Konstantin feel that something was missing, whether it was Gu Qinghuan's "The Mystery of the Dragon Totem" or Xiao Le Palace's "Nightmare Drop", the variables that could cause all this did not seem to be satisfied with just following these two lines to develop a plan, what else...
Countless ancient memories were awakened with Konstantin's memories, and there have been more changes along the way in the past thirty years than he has experienced in tens of millions of years, if the first part of the plot is about the dragon and the phoenix, then the back should be... Wait a minute...
Konstantin's eyes, who were meditating alone, suddenly widened, and a trace of wonder appeared in his eyes, if their memories like Chen Linxuan had been modified, then did he miss something... That's right, I figured out this illusory scheme in this situation! It's only a little bit, but there's no doubt about it...
The gaze in Konstantin's eyes was no longer uneasy and surprised, but extremely calm, as if he had been convinced that his goal would definitely be achieved, yes, his current smile was full of incomparable madness!
In another room on the same floor, the entire room has been transformed into an exquisite combat command room by Ropes & Gray, after he received the signal to knock on the door and pressed the button to release the alarm, Xu Ruoqing, who was surprised, was looking around at the structure of the entire room... And that highly defensive gate just now... It's only been three days since he's been here, and this guy has literally turned his room into a strategic fortress.
"I've already passed the document to you, so I'm here to ask you what you think. After listening to Xu Ruoqing's coming, Rige enthusiastically turned on the monitor projected onto the screen, and he still felt quite useful for Xu Ruoqing's appreciation, after all, he has been with technology all his life to be able to be recognized by others.
"I plan to use these three days to lay a triangular forbidden spirit enchantment that surrounds the entire Pukou District, Jiangning District and Qixia District, and then send a small part of my troops to Qixia District, which is close to the target in the marginal area, to make a feint, and the large army brought over this time is ambushed in the center of this triangle and forms an encirclement network against Zhongling Central Square. β
"In order to deal with the emergency, you and Akiba are sniping at the tall buildings around the square to monitor the situation of the entire square. β
Looking at the blockade net that Rigger had arranged, Xu Ruoqing nodded, according to Rigger's arrangement, as long as the other party is still within these three areas, then it will be difficult for him to escape even if he has wings, and three days later, he will finally have a head-to-head confrontation with this "reverser" who has already given the L.S organization a headache! From the unknown to the determination of the location, and then to the determination of the object, this "reverser" can be said to be the prey that took the longest time in the past ten years!
Lin Shujian, what kind of existence are you and what kind of terrifying and bizarre abilities do you have... Soon, you'll find out...
