Chapter 199: Be confident
"In fact, there is a lot of information conveyed in this matter, they not only showed us their ability and determination, but also wanted to tell us that there is still the demon clan involved in this matter, so what we should do is to retreat in the face of difficulties, and it is only right for everyone to return to a peaceful daily life. ”
Lin Xiaofeng still said very calmly, but there was a dark fire burning in Xu Xingkong's heart, and a strong battle intent was scorched and refined by this quietly breeding flame, and gradually became brighter.
Yang Huijun still didn't have any expression, but Xu Xingkong could see that he was really thinking about something this time, and even Xu Xingkong could feel that Yang Huijun was now afraid and shaken in his heart, he was facing a major choice of life and death in his life, Xu Xingkong knew this very well, because Xu Xingkong had already made a similar choice.
Lin Xiaofeng did not deliberately wait for Yang Huijun's answer, but continued to Xu Xingkong with his own thoughts:
"Also, I think they want you a little bit of a gesture of goodwill. ”
Xu Xingkong sneered and said disdainfully:
"Should I be grateful for showing favor to me, and shifting the target from me to someone else?"
Lin Xiaofeng didn't answer, and he didn't need to answer, Xu Xingkong had already clearly stated his attitude, which made Lin Xiaofeng quite satisfied.
Although Xu Xingkong's current choice is not surprising, but if the time of this choice is pushed forward by a month, it is very difficult to say whether Xu Xingkong will not make the same choice, it should be said that Xu Xingkong's change during this time is very huge, and the speed is also quite fast, this is because he continues to experience the test of life and death, so that his mentality and concept continue to transform the result.
"Chief Lin, I, can I quit now?"
"Of course, this is your freedom, I don't have the habit of forcing people to die, Ye Yaoxin, park here and let Yang Huijun get out of the car. ”
Yang Huijun lowered his head with some guilt, waited for the car to stop on the side of the road, he slowly opened the car door and stopped, raised his hand and handed his tablet to Xu Xingkong, Xu Xingkong took it silently, he didn't want to blame Yang Huijun's choice Xu Xingkong, everyone has the right to choose their own path.
"Section Chief Lin, I'll apply for a transfer when I go back. ”
"Well, it's okay, let's do it for myself in the future. ”
Lin Xiaofeng replied casually, without even replying his head, the so-called Tao is not the same, Lin Xiaofeng may not want to waste any of his energy on irrelevant people, Yang Huijun sighed silently, pushed the car door and got out of the car, stood on the side of the road and watched Lin Xiaofeng and the others' car go away, and the lonely Yang Huijun stood for a long time before turning around and leaving.
Yang Huijun's departure made the atmosphere in the car a little dull, Ye Yaoxin glanced at Lin Xiaofeng, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and then looked at Xu Xingkong, who was sitting in the back seat and didn't know what he was thinking, hesitated for a moment or opened his mouth to break the dullness in the car:
"Xiao Feng, how did you guess that they would attack Yang Huijun? You let Yang Huijun sit in a car with Xu Xingkong because you wanted Xu Xingkong to protect Yang Huijun, right?"
"Of course, if I had guessed that they were going to attack me, I would have taken Xu Xingkong's car. ”
Lin Xiaofeng replied as a matter of course, Ye Yaoxin didn't seem to care much about Lin Xiaofeng's answer, but her eyes quickly looked towards the rearview mirror, and sure enough, Xu Xingkong raised his head and looked at the back of Lin Xiaofeng's head with burning eyes, seeing this, the corners of Ye Yaoxin's mouth turned slightly.
"You haven't said how you guessed they were going to attack, why didn't I notice anything unusual before?"
Xu Xingkong threw aside the tablet in his hand, grabbed the conversation, looked at Lin Xiaofeng seriously and asked.
Lin Xiaofeng turned his head, raised his eyebrows proudly and said:
"Experience! From the time and manner of your attack, I guess that the person in charge of the other party must be a very confident and resolute person, after the failure of the first attack, the other party is not willing to fail and is not willing to lose face, I guess they will soon make remedial measures. ”
"The remedy?
"Yes, in addition to what I just said, there may be another important reason, because they are not fully prepared for the failure of the first sneak attack, they are worried that they will send the wrong information to us, and at the same time, they will definitely need to adjust the response measures immediately after they find that they have underestimated your strength, so it is very necessary to carry out an attack as soon as possible, show their strength and attitude, and convey their ideas. ”
"But why do you think the target must be Yang Huijun?"
"Quite simply, if there is a remedial attack, they will not target me, and then the incident can get out of hand at any time. If you choose Ye Yaoxin, because Ye Yaoxin's relationship with me is a relationship of life and death, no matter what kind of threat she is threatened, Ye Yaoxin will always be on my side, so it doesn't make much sense for her to make a move. And if you shoot at Yang Huijun"
"If the attack is successful, they believe that you may not tear your face with them because of Yang Huijun, and if it is not successful, Yang Huijun may be pressured to back down, in fact, they did guess correctly, Yang Huijun retreated. And Yang Huijun's retreat can play a good role in killing chickens and monkeys, right?"
"Well, that's right, so their actions kill two birds with one stone. ”
"Are you so sure they won't still target me? Or have you already guessed who's behind it?"
The corners of Lin Xiaofeng's mouth hooked, and he nodded lightly and said:
"I'm pretty sure they won't be targeting you anymore, because they know that if they want to deal with you neatly, they must dispatch a master of the awakening stage, and for the sake of safety, it is best to be a master of the middle awakening stage or above, but once such a person does it, my master and the elders of the sect will never sit idly by. As for the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, did Yang Huijun check the situation with you, you should have found the missing mask, right?"
"I'll go! You've already figured out the mask problem!"
"Of course, you were busy vomiting at the time, but I carefully looked at the photos and records taken at the scene for the first time, and the deceased Zhuang Jinchao did not wear a half-section mask as you said, so I guessed that it should be the natal spirit weapon of a certain demon. ”
"Black Spotted Butterfly Demon, what Yang Huijun said, what is the Black Spotted Butterfly Demon?"
"You don't know? Oh, by the way, the information in your hand is some years, and the Black Spotted Butterfly Demon is a hybrid degeneration of black butterflies, only about fifteen hundred years old. ”
Xu Xingkong couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart that the information in his hand was not some years, but very, very old, and even the monsters with a history of 1,500 years had not been recorded.
"Black Butterfly, the legendary guy who can cover the sky?"
"Well, the Black Spotted Butterfly Demon is far worse than its ancestors, what the Black Spotted Butterfly Demon is best at is soul control and creating a small range of dark night enchantments, if you accidentally touch its path, it will slowly be completely controlled by it and become a marionette, however, it is really stupid to be able to fall into this trap of this Zhuang Jinchao. ”
Xu Xingkong blinked curiously and asked:
"Oh, isn't it difficult for this black spotted butterfly demon to control a person?"
Lin Xiaofeng pursed his lips and turned his head, seemingly not interested in this simple question, Ye Yao smiled when he saw this, and interjected to explain for Lin Xiaofeng:
"It's really a little difficult, if the object it controls is an ordinary person, it's very simple, but if the other party is a demon hunter, it must first let Zhuang Jinchao unconsciously swallow its butterfly powder, and it's not just once, but it has to gradually increase the weight, until these butterfly powder with the effect of paralyzing the primordial spirit accumulates to a certain extent, and it can mobilize its innate ability to control Zhuang Jinchao's primordial spirit. Generally speaking, cultivators will check their status every day, and once they find out that they have been tricked, they will definitely have countermeasures, at least they will avoid it, but why this Zhuang Jinchao did not find out that he was poisoned by a chronic giant poison is a bit intriguing. ”
"Cut, what's so intriguing about this, maybe he has been actually controlled a long time ago. ”
Lin Xiaofeng suddenly turned around and said meaningfully:
"If you're right, we might have an extra helper. ”
"Helper, you mean Zhuang Jinchao's division, but wasn't he expelled from the house?"
Lin Xiaofeng nodded and said:
"Yes, it is true that he was expelled and went out, but his master has always been famous for protecting his shortcomings, which is also the main reason why Zhuang Jinchao was not taken back from the Demon Suppression Book, and his master's temper snorted. ”
Xu Xingkong nodded suddenly, but then realized that something was wrong:
"Huh, isn't that right, if his master is really a violent temper like you say, then wasn't I the first person he found?"
A playful smile flashed in Lin Xiaofeng's ethereal eyes, and he nodded vigorously and said:
"Yes, he will definitely find you first, and someone will definitely provide him with some specious misinformation, and we have no evidence that Zhuang Jinchao may be controlled by the Black Spotted Butterfly Demon when he is killed by you, even if he believes that Zhuang Jinchao is controlled by the Black Spotted Butterfly Demon, he will not believe that a person who can kill his apprentice doesn't even know what the Black Spotted Butterfly Demon is, and will directly kill the innocent people controlled by the demon clan. ”
Xu Xingkong looked at Lin Xiaofeng with tears and laughter, and asked helplessly for a while:
"Who is to blame for my ignorance? Well, what are your plans? Can you tell me first? I don't want to be a shield in the middle of nowhere. ”
"Uh-huh, to be honest, you're a good shield!"
Lin Xiaofeng replied with a slight ridicule, Xu Xingkong pursed his lips and was very speechless, Ye Yaoxin couldn't help but purse his lips and laughed, Xu Xing blanked Ye Yaoxin's eyes, he found that Ye Yaoxin's personality was actually very lively, not at all in line with her age, hey, speaking of which, how old is this Ye Yaoxin?
Shaking his head slightly, shaking off the boring thoughts in his mind, Xu Xingkong looked at Lin Xiaofeng lightly and said:
"It's not funny at all, what about your plans?"
"There's no plan, as long as you knock him down when the time comes, he'll listen to us honestly. ”
"Uh, it's that simple?"
"Well, it's as simple as that. ”
"This, this really doesn't match your habitual approach, you won't fool me, right? ”
"What are my habits?"
"I think you should be more technical, it's not your character to be simple and rough, you've always liked careful planning, haven't you?"
"Are you saying that I've always been fond of intrigue?"
Xu Xingkong shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Lin Xiaofeng gently tugged at the corners of his mouth, and replied with a little dissatisfaction:
"You are wrong, conspiracies and tricks are based on information asymmetry, and now the enemy is dark and I am clear, and it is we who lack information transparency, so they are also playing conspiracy and tricks, what we have to do is to fall into the ground in a dignified manner, and gradually force them out of the water, so as to reverse this situation of information asymmetry. ”
Xu Xingkong was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it seriously and said:
"It makes sense, that is, we are now going to see the move, as long as we don't make mistakes, it's them who are in a hurry. ”
"Of course, just like Zhuang Jinchao, after all, the facts are the facts, and they are not us who want to cover up the truth, so they are also anxious, the more anxious they are, the easier it is to expose their flaws. ”
Xu Xingkong looked at Lin Xiaofeng with admiration and nodded vigorously, and then asked a little unconfidently:
"What, are you sure I can knock Zhuang Jinchao's master down?"
"Of course, well, I guess so. ”
"Ugh" (To be continued.) )
