Chapter 209 - Shadow and Truth 05

Oath?That kind of ridiculous thing that only these humans would naively believe, Bai Ze opened his mouth disdainfully, showing his fangs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 She lifted her front paws and took a slow step.

"Don't go any further, this is not a request, this is a warning. Bai Ze, you are suspected of carrying out terrorist/assault in Nanjing City, and all your actions now will be regarded as "arrest" and "prison escape". Maybe you don't care if you're wanted, but this wanted notice will not be revoked for a hundred or thousands of years in the future, and it is a "forever wanted warrant". Before humanity perishes, your name will forever be infamous on your side. ”

Bai Ze's footsteps couldn't help but stop, and the beast's face showed human surprise, and then the beast's throat let out a shuddering roar. Randomly said with no doubt:

"I've almost forgotten who threatened me last time, and I'm not too interested in 'fighting each other', so let's make a bet. I'm betting that your men will find Dio soon, and Dio won't even put up any resistance, and you'll be able to see her in no time. 」

“... What about the stakes?"

"As an elder, I will naturally give you some benefits. In this way, whether you win or lose, I will give you a chance to 'make a wish'. If you lose, just keep your mouth shut and leave. If I lose, I'll heal your legs in addition to giving you a chance. 」

Ruoyuebai raised her left hand seemingly lightly, and the members of the West Factory on the side immediately took her cigarette stick out of the guard's safe deposit box and handed it to her, without lighting the fire to her. She took a drag on her cigarette and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"It looks like you won't get anything on this condition. ”

"Why, I've already handed over my 'victory' to you," the beast prostrate down, but still much taller than humans, and it leaned its face closer to Ruoyuebai, "The victory between Dior and me is not something that can be decided overnight, she casually handed over the victory and defeat to others, and I naturally won't hold on to it." I have decided that you will be her opponents, and I will keep an eye on you and keep you safe. I guess that's a good proposal, isn't it?"

"Are you afraid of talking to Dior?"

"Heh, to be honest, you're right, I'm not sure of winning, but Dior is not interested in such a boring victory, so we don't directly participate in the 'chess game'. She and I will be chess players, and you will be my pawns. 」

"Chess pieces?" Ruoyue Bai snorted coldly, "Exploit and be used, abandon and be abandoned, the cycle repeats, and the rotation is endless." This is the truth of this world, and you are also my "pawn". I'll take this game, you beast, use your eyes to see the means of 'humans'. ”

"Then I'll wait to see the show. 」

With that, the beast's figure slowly retreated into the shadows, and only some outlines and the wide-open white beast eyes could be seen.

None of the members of the West Factory said a word from beginning to end, as if they were all sets, without a single line. Sherlock looked suspiciously at the agents around him who were dressed differently, and the only thing they had in common was the waist badge.

"All teams, wrap up. Return to their respective posts and continue with the previous command. ”

didn't even respond in one fell swoop, and after Ruoyuebai finished speaking, the members of the West Factory disappeared without a trace in the next moment, as if they had never existed. Sherlock didn't speak for a while, and when Ruoyuebai put down her cigarette stick and pushed her wheelchair away, she followed and asked:

"I have a lot of questions, why would such a well-trained team be afraid of "youkai"?"

"They're agents, not soldiers," Wakatsuki pushed her wheelchair in vain, "most of them are just recruits who haven't even killed anyone, how can they have a good performance." Xichang is not all elites, even if they have different talents, they are just guys who will shout when they encounter some small things. Do you know why the governors of the West Factory have always been human?"

"I can't think of any reason other than hereditary. ”

"Only humans know how to train waste without a trace of talent into usable talents," Ruoyue Bai said with a cold face, "Whether it is a monster or a human, born and raised in a peaceful place like the Ming Empire, the bones have long been full of lazy cells. The West Factory does not accept those who care neither about honor nor money. Those who are qualified to say the oath of the West Factory in front of the Fengtian Temple must have at least enough 'desire/hope'. ”

“......”

"The most fundamental driving force of human beings is nothing more than "desire/hope", no matter how humble desire/desire, Xichang will be satisfied, this is their desire/hope, once betrayed Xichang, this desire/hope will not be able to vent, and they will lose everything. Most of the members of the West Factory regard death as home, except that they have nothing else. ”

"Just like Lin Zehui?"

“... This should be classified," Wakatsuki stopped turning his wheelchair, "If you don't tell me the source of the information, I have the right to send you to the company of that white youkai." ”

"I just thought of it. ”

Sherlock retrieved his pipe from the guard and took a contented puff.

"What Lin Zehui did secretly was not a particularly big secret, if he only had 'some' backers, he wouldn't have to let him do these things in the capital city of Nanjing. He used to be a soldier, so maybe he had some ability. Combined with what you just said, it occurred to me that he might be a member of the West Factory. Otherwise, with Zhu Yuanfang's style, it would be impossible to let him go freely. But recently, he has gone too far, and even let many ordinary people know about his unsightly things, almost to the point where he can't bear it, so Zhu Yuanfang contacted someone and asked her to come and deal with Lin Zehui's matter. ”

“... What about the evidence?"

"It's just speculation, and I don't have any intention of making it public," Sherlock smiled slightly, "At that time, Liao Xueqing made such a big fuss, and none of the members of the West Factory were dispatched, isn't it too suspicious? The West Factory, which was supposed to deal with this matter, did not act, but the Shenji Battalion, which was in charge of the security of the Forbidden City, dispatched a whole company, and there were too many suspicious places in it. ”

Ruoyue Bai snorted coldly, but she didn't say much. Sherlock put down his pipe and helped her lift her wheelchair.

"You're too smart, and smart people are generally not liked. But there are still a lot of holes in your analysis. If Lin Zehui is really a member of the West Factory and needs to be cleaned up, His Majesty's best course of action is to let Dior Connor do it. ”

"Isn't she what she did?" Sherlock shrugged, "she's an expert." instigated a person who would have done this to do this, and he didn't have to waste too much time, and he successfully provoked the relationship between Liao Xueqing and the Ming Empire. Zhu Yuanfang didn't expect her to do this, I think the old man's expression at that time must have been very exciting. ”

"Bai Ze's words, what do you think?"

Ruoyuebai suddenly changed the topic, Sherlock was stunned for a while, and Ma Shan realized that there might be people around them who were watching, so she immediately took over and said:

"My idea is that it doesn't matter what she says, because Dio won't go to prison even if he gets caught. But you, do you really believe Bai Ze's words? 'Make a wish' or something, it has always been the biggest scam in the world. ”

"I have nothing to lose, and I have no reason to refuse such a great reward. But you, why do you think Dior will be released?"

"Your men will probably 'talk' with her in the interrogation room for a while after they catch her," Sherlock said after a moment's thought, "and then your men will hear a knock at the door, and when he opens the door and goes out, he will see you there." In the aisle, you will first praise what your subordinates have done, praise him for his merits, thank him for everything he has done, and promise him bonuses, fame. Then you will say that Dior needs to be released. Then your men will refute and possibly threaten to resign, but either way, Dio will eventually be released. ”

"Have you ever encountered anything like this?"

"It's not nothing. ”
