Chapter 38: Reunion (Part II)
"What's wrong with you!"
Xie Wanshu and Lin Xiangyu exclaimed at the same time, Lin Xiangyu helped Lin Muhan, who was already close to semi-coma, and asked angrily, "What's wrong?" ”
"Ambush ......"
Xie Mengqi gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone is dead, and the mission has failed." It was just the two of us who came out alive. ”
"Unidentified enemies chased us all the way. But what I don't understand the most is why did the Overseer kill us in the end? ”
Lin Muhan's face was full of confusion and incomprehension, he held his lower abdomen tightly, and the clothes there were already soaked with blood.
"Your wound needs stitches." Huo Zhen took out the needle and thread again and said.
"I knew I needed stitches."
Lin Muhan lifted his clothes, and a deep wound appeared in front of everyone.
"It was an Indian with a sword, but he was also killed by an arrow from me."
"Why did this mission become like this?"
Xie Mengqi gritted his teeth and tore off the corner of his clothes and covered the wounds on his body: "If it weren't for Mu Han's strong fighting spirit and pretending that our combat effectiveness was still strong, I would have also destroyed the button of the hypnotic spray in the car, and we would all be dead at this time." ”
Huo Zhen silently stitched up Lin Muhan's wounds. Lin Muhan gritted his teeth, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his face.
"I know."
Just when everyone was silent, Lin Lexuan's weak voice came from the side.
Hearing Lin Lexuan's words, Huo Zhen looked at him directly with eyes like a blade, and Lin Lexuan looked at him without evasion, and said in a deep voice: "The situation has reached this level, and it can no longer be kept secret. ”
"Lexuan, what's wrong with you?" Xie Mengqi asked.
"Le Xuan almost died on this mission."
Huo Zhen sighed and withdrew his gaze: "Much worse than your injuries." ”
"Why, exactly?" Lin Muhan gritted his teeth and asked.
Lin Lexuan glanced at Huo Zhen and said, "The teacher and his wife are actually under house arrest in the organization. ”
As soon as these words came out, except for Huo Zhen and Xie Wanshu, the other three were taken aback. Lin Xiangyu exclaimed in surprise, while Lin Muhan and Xie Mengqi's eyes widened.
"Why?" Lin Xiangyu asked.
"Because thirty years ago, there was a civil war in Yanhuang called the Battle of Yanyin."
Lin Lexuan sighed and repeated what Zhang Han had said to them at that time, his voice fell, and the silent needle drop in the room could be heard.
"This ......"
Lin Xiangyu didn't know what to say, Xie Wanshu closed her eyes. Xie Mengqi and Lin Muhan looked at Huo Zhen, hoping to get a different answer from his mouth, but Huo Zhen just shook his head and didn't look over.
After being silent for a long time, Huo Zhen said with some difficulty: "I expected the organization to attack you, but I didn't realize that it would be so soon. ”
"Where is the teacher now?" Lin Xiangyu said anxiously.
"I guess it's still in Europe. It is not difficult to get out with the strength of the teacher, but their purpose is actually to drag the teacher and then use the loophole of the Ceasefire Convention to attack you. If they succeed, there is nothing the teacher can do even if they rush back, after all, the boat is already in the boat. ”
"What exactly is the Ceasefire Pact?" Xie Mengqi asked.
Huo Zhen sighed and said, "Since you all already know about these previous things, then I will tell you about the Cessation of War Convention." ”
"I was only seven years old in the year of the Battle of Yanyin, and I only vaguely remember some general things. At that time, after the start of the civil war, there was a considerable part of the people who supported the teacher's side. And as the war escalated, the civil war became more and more tragic. But when the previous six worshippers Ye Meng participated, the situation on the teacher's side could only be described as taking a sharp turn. ”
"Ye Meng's strength used to be at the bottom of the Founding Seven Offerings, and it was only because of his age that he was ranked in front of the Seven Offerings Phantom. But on the day he returned, no one could stop his shot, not the senior brother, not the teacher, and not the Faerun. In the end, Faeron gathered all the people who supported them together and threatened to launch a full-scale war, which stopped Ye Meng's footsteps and signed the Convention to Cease War. ”
"Why would starting an all-out war make the Great Offering compromise?" Xie Mengqi's brows furrowed.
"Because all-out war means that we will be completely exposed to ordinary people."
Huo Zhen said: "The International Paranormal Organization will not allow this to happen, and through an emergency meeting, they jointly intervened in the civil war with governments and the Department of Paranormal Operations, and forced us to sit down and sign the Ceasefire Convention in the presence of all the large and small paranormal organizations around the world. At the same time, Ye Meng announced his appointment to the position of Yanhuang Da. ”
"What exactly is the Ceasefire Pact?" Xie Mengqi asked.
"There are basically five. Since Long Yin was the defeated side, the content of the covenant was basically unfavorable to Long Yin. ”
Huo Zhen's eyes flashed with a light of thought, and he said, "First of all, Yanhuang Longyin will not launch a large-scale war within forty years; Long Yin's side needs to provide two hostages to stay in Yanhuang as bargaining chips; Long Yin shall not participate in the activities of international ability organizations in any way, including the International Ability Summit and the International Ability Ranking Battle; Faeron and Suchen are not allowed to participate in any form of skirmishes between the two organizations; During this period, Yan Huang was not allowed to intervene and suppress Long Yin on a large scale. ”
"But what does this have to do with the teacher and us?" Xie Mengqi asked confusedly.
"In addition to the five most basic articles, there are many detailed provisions in the Ceasece of War, such as the hostages who remain in Yanhuang can be taught, each of them is limited to two, but the students must be taught by Yanhuang after the age of twelve."
"But counting you, we're already six of us!" Lin Xiangyu asked.
"And counting Chen Yuan, Yan Huang already has three hostages." Lin Muhan said.
"Originally, the hostages were only teachers and masters, but Chen Yuan was captured by the four worshippers Hu Kai. So nominally, Long Yin currently has three hostages in Yan Huang's hands. Among us, only Le Xuan and Xiang Yu are considered to be the teacher's students, Mu Han and I are under Chen Yuan's name, and Wanshu and Mengqi are under the master's mother. ”
After saying this, Huo Zhen smiled at them: "The teacher just took advantage of the loopholes in the rules. ”
"But I still don't understand, why did Yan Huang target us?" Lin Xiangyu asked.
"The teacher's presence is a thorn in Yan Huang's side, and your presence makes them feel threatened even more. After all, the teacher had taught the amazing genius of the senior brother, and Yan Huang was worried that he would teach a student like him again. They are in the way of the Ceasefire Pact within the base, and they can't do it to you in the open, but when you're on a mission, they have plenty of opportunities to work against you. The teacher had expected this, and he had told me to protect you while he was away, but neither of us expected Yan Huang to act so quickly. ”
Huo Zhen smiled bitterly, and manipulated the silver needle to quickly stitch up the wounds on Lin Muhan and Xie Mengqi's bodies. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"And I always have the feeling that the teacher may have a plan of his own, and you are a very important part of that plan."
"Did the teacher tell you about his plans?" Lin Lexuan asked while lying on the sofa.
"Nope."
Huo Zhen said: "I was only seven years old at the time of the Yanyin War, and even though I was a student of the teacher at the time, I didn't get too involved in these things. But I'm sure the teacher has great expectations for you, and his plans are likely to be related to the offerings of Yan Huang - especially the Great Offerings. ”
And speaking of this, Huo Zhen patted his head and hurriedly said, "By the way, there is one more thing." Xiang Yu, take out those jade pendants. ”
Lin Xiangyu took out the jade pendant and handed it to everyone, Xie Mengqi took the jade pendant and asked, "What is this?" ”
"This is made by the teacher himself, and it can protect you." Huo Zhenyan said succinctly.
They nodded and wore the jade around their necks.
"Alright, you guys go to bed."
Huo Zhen sighed and said, "I've been here for the past two days, and everything will be fine when the teacher comes back." I'll take care of Lexuan. ”
The children nodded heavily and returned to their bedrooms.
Watching the children return to the bedroom, Huo Zhen sat down on the sofa. He played with the quenching short knife left by Chen Jie and fell into deep thought.
……………………………………
In an empty room.
Chen Jie stood straight in the center of the room. Across from him sat two men with large dark brown hoods.
The person sitting on the left side looked at Chen Jie, his eyes were like a vulture looking at his prey, and he said indifferently, "Why didn't you complete the task that you should perform?" ”
"The strength of the target is still strong and does not meet the requirements of the mission."
Chen Jie's sonorous voice echoed in the room: "Before leaving, the organization allowed me to refuse to complete this mission if I was not in danger. ”
"However, we got the news that No. 72 has completely lost its combat effectiveness."
At this moment, another person spoke slowly, and his slender fingers tapped lightly on the table.
72 He was seriously wounded, but he still had the strength to fight again. In order to ensure their own safety, the subordinates gave up the mission. Chen Jie's voice still did not waver in the slightest.
"In that case, then you can go down."
Listening to Chen Jie's words, a light flashed in the eyes of the person on the left, and he waved his hand.
Chen Jie saluted a standard military salute and retreated.
When Chen Jie left the room, the man who was knocking on the table looked at the person on the left and asked, "Sixth Elder, aren't you going to do something?" ”
"It's not time yet."
The sixth elder of the Yanhuang Elder Group turned his head and said indifferently:
"Eighth, you have to remember that sometimes mind control is not the best way to torture a person. I agree with what the boss said, we want to completely destroy their ** and souls. ”
The six elders with vulture-like eyes grinned hideously. The Eight Elders on the side bowed their heads, and his hood fell, revealing a face that looked like 28.
And under the table, a pool of blood slowly seeped out, and this time Xie Mengqi and Lin Muhan's task supervisor Li Lin was lying on the cold ground at the moment, without a trace of life breath on his body.
