42. Hades' Mobao
Without exception, the maids with long braids, and the special cheongsam skirt also gave Nangong a very familiar feeling. And even if Xixuan didn't remind them, when they approached, Nangong instinctively noticed the abnormality of the situation.
It's like a game where the best players instinctively sense a danger signal? Although it is not clear whether the other party is a "master", he must not be counted. Maybe it's just an instinctive reaction to danger.
"Fortunately, Mr. Nangong, this is the supper that the master ordered us to bring."
The tallest, and the most mature, of the three maids-in-waiting, pointed to the basket that his companion was carrying, "You have had a good night's vigil, and during the time you are eating, the guards here will be left to us." ”
Know your name? Then it really doesn't seem like a temporary start for a sudden visit. These three people should have never left Banqing's house, so in this case, their strength is strong enough to run rampant in this "tight" house?
After that, it's the problem of the five, and now it seems that she really didn't deceive people, and the maid in her mouth has appeared in front of her eyes as it is. Their identities are not yet known, but they feel certain. So, how many of Five's words are still false, or how many facts have been distorted by her?
In any case, the purpose of these three seemingly weak girls is definitely not as simple as "sending supper", if it is not a direct attack, then what they are most likely to do is what they are most worried about now - let No. 5 slip away. Now that they're just trying to see if they can coax themselves away with a simple lie, such an explanation should unwind their current behavior.
Do you want to play stupid and then move the rescuers? But not to mention that Shiyu and a few other reliable helpers are not nearby now, and even if they find Uncle Banyun or the Spirit Mirror, when they come back, most of the three guys' goals have already been achieved. The secluded and remote annex has become the biggest obstacle at the moment, so there is only one choice left, to make some movement when it is dead, so that anyone in the vicinity can notice.
"Thank you."
Nangong approached the maid, and the smell of books that came at the same time made Nangong feel that he had seen it somewhere, "Are these for me?" ”
"Yes, you use it slowly."
The short girl with the double ponytail smiled innocently and handed the basket to Nangong, but her smile soon crumpled.
"Woo, Sister Pen, he's murderous!" After Nangong silently put the basket on the ground, the short girl immediately shrank behind the maid beside her, "Sure enough, we were exposed, right?" ”
"It's not exposed." Although the enemy came with other intentions, but the rare supper can't be ruined like this, after putting the basket in the corner, Nangong took out the Xijing in his arms, "Because I didn't believe you from the beginning, although I said so, can I tell me your purpose?" Like why...... I want to create a chance for that monkey demon, and now I want to let her go. ”
Ah, yes, when I saw these three maids, my original conjecture was able to go further. Obviously, they are not good, and they seem to be much more scheming than the wild monkey on the five, combined with the panic that it didn't look like acting before the fifth and the current situation, I'm afraid that the monkeys in Monkey Mountain are only in a position of backsliding, in other words, they are framed.
But what is their purpose? Enemy, or ......
"Indeed, you are as the Lord says, young and promising." Seeing that the matter had been revealed, the older "sister" had no intention of continuing to hide it, because Nangong didn't see the slightest panic in her eyes, and most of the positive breakthroughs were her original purpose.
"But unfortunately, we are entrusted with not revealing any employer's information, even if we are physically and mentally broken."
Employer...... Could it be that they are engaged in a similar profession to Aoi Lei?
"Could it be that your master is the Hades?" Xijing, who had not moved before, seemed to think of something, and quickly turned into a human form, "Although I have only heard about it before, it seems that I have seen a few deities this time." ”
"It seems that Miss Xijing is very knowledgeable." The older maid nodded, "In addition, the lord also has a message for you: since you have found a new master, don't fall into the demon path again in the future, and slowly wash away your evil obstacles that have accumulated for hundreds of years. ”
"Thank you so much."
Although Xixin agreed, there was no hint of gratitude in his tone. On the contrary, she also stopped in front of Nangong to prevent him from making further moves.
"They are the instrument spirits of Hades, that is, the kind of instrument spirits that obey Hades' direct gaze and judge people's life and death crimes, but I heard that Hades is also receiving some other commissions in private, of course, with the personal nature of Hades."
Yan...... Don't be that...... The Hades with the book of life and death in his hand, and the one who dies if he draws a circle, right?
"You may need to entrust us in the future, so let's introduce our business before we execute the request."
The elder maid owes herself, "The three of us are the personal spirits of the Lord, and my name is a folding pen." ”
"I, I'm kneading paper." The maid with the double ponytail hurriedly covered her face with her hands, "Please don't stare at me so directly. ”
"Discard the inkstone." In the end, the shortest maid didn't even raise her head, so she said so coldly and perfunctory.
Folding pens, kneading paper, discarding inkstones...... Hey, how does that name look like......
"In the future, if you think there is something difficult to accomplish, you can find a way to contact us, of course, the reward we need is not money, but based on the equivalent exchange, what can you give us?" You should be able to understand what you say. ”
The maid with two ponytails, Nangong remembered that it should be the girl who kneaded the paper to take over her sister's words, "If there is no problem, please don't hinder our mission." With your current strength......"
"Wait! Do you say based on equivalent exchange? As long as you can do something, you can exchange it for something of equal value? ”
A flash of inspiration...... No, it should be said that it is the inevitable result of the brain's rapid thinking at a critical moment, Nangong thought of a very feasible plan. If you do that, you might be able to ......
"That's right, for example, if you want us to kill an ordinary person for you, the price you need is to record this event in the merit book after death, and of course it will affect your reincarnation."
The older sister, who is also a folding pen, nodded.
"Then the task I now entrust to you is this: cancel this operation! Then tell me who your employer really is this time! ”
Nangong said, "In this case, what do you want to exchange for!?" ”
"Master!"
"It can be done, right?"
Nangong ignored Xi Xun's dissuasion, and continued to ask the three machine spirits who had fallen silent, "Or do you have to consider the price?" ”
"No, not really." In the face of Nangong's questioning, the folding pen finally had a little expression. Although Nangong didn't see any hope in her eyes, "First of all, no matter how big or small the incident is, we will not tell all the information about the employer, this is an iron rule set by the Lord." As for let's cancel this time, no, it should be said that this series of actions is also completely impossible for you. ”
Do...... Not? Is this a price that cannot even be worth taking one's own life?
"Our employer paid the equivalent of half her life to ask us to complete this commission."
Folding the pen and taking off her glasses, obviously she didn't plan to give Nangong any more opportunities to maneuver or delay time, "And in terms of value, the value of this half of its life is something that you can't match no matter what you give, Mr. Nangong." If you have no doubts, could you please leave quickly? ”
