Chapter 82: The Night That Doesn't Tell a Lie
The honey-colored gem rotated in Zhu Jue's hand, and the light in the restaurant was reflected above, which was very beautiful.
"Don't take out the gems here, don't you see that the people around you are looking at you. ”
Noticing the gazes gathered around her, Olivia lowered her voice and said to Zhu Jue.
No matter how you look at it, Zhu Jue's behavior is a bit like in front of everyone else in the restaurant...... The good thing to say is to show off the wealth, but the bad is to show off, the size of a pigeon egg, even in the center of the dawn city is undoubtedly an extremely rare thing, how can there be such a dangling in front of people.
"I know, but I'm not going to take it back, because I just want people to see it. ”
Zhu Jue put the gem down, but did not take it back, but continued to put it on the side by the window.
Oh~
The wind chime, which had been nesting in Zhu Jue's arms, suddenly screamed at this time.
Zhu Jue, who was just about to pick up the chopsticks again, suddenly turned to the tissue box, took out two tissues, wiped his mouth, and said, "It's almost over, you still have something to do tomorrow, go back and prepare." ”
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Olivia, who was sitting across from Zhu Jue, could of course see a temporary shift in his movements, and her intuition told her that today's meal was not as simple as she had imagined.
"It's nothing, I met an acquaintance, you go back first, I'll stay in Egret Square for a while. ”
Zhu Jue didn't mention to Olivia that the Hive System had discovered that the gentleman had come to Egret Square to trade, it was his private matter, not to mention that he wasn't going to tell anyone about the Dream Realm.
"Don't need help?"
The old seal she wore had only been hot for a short time, and Olivia still wanted to give something back to Zhu Jue.
"No, it's just a matter of saying a few words, not an enemy. ”
Retrieving the gem and getting up to settle the bill, Zhu Jue left the restaurant with the wind chimes.
As he said before, he did not leave the Egret Square, but after going around the circle, he returned to the big banyan tree that the gentleman had traded with before.
This was done to make sure that the gentleman had left with the black swan and would not suddenly interfere with his next move.
Standing still under the banyan tree, looking at the virtual image of the falling rain, Zhu Jue could sense the person who followed him behind him, and raised his hand to throw the gem over without looking back.
Then he leaned back on the seat built around the banyan tree, crossed Erlang's legs and waited for the person who caught the gem he threw out.
"You know I'm stalking you...... Or did you want me to follow you in the first place? ”
The man wearing round-framed sunglasses sat down, raised the gem in his hand, and said in a calm tone, after a short pause, he continued,
"What does that mean, greeting?"
"You can think of it as I paid you in advance, and as for the reason, I would like to ask you a favor. ”
Zhu Jue didn't turn his head to look at the person's face carefully, and the latter didn't prepare to do so, the two of them sat side by side, but they looked at each other, one seemed to see the real raindrops from the virtual rain curtain in front of him, and the other stared at the trunk of the banyan tree, as if there was some rare insect parked on it.
"If my memory is not lost, today should be the first time the two of us have met. ”
The development of things was somewhat unexpected, but the man did not leave directly, but chose to continue listening.
"I'm a bit of a conflict with the gentleman, he wants to kill me, and I'm going to kill him before that day comes, but before I do it, I need to make sure that some of the original things are not changed, so that I don't have a black eye after killing someone, after all, I'm very interested in dreams. ”
Zhu Jue's answer was very straightforward, almost revealing his purpose and discernment, without any disguise, such a straightforward answer made the man next to him look at Zhu Jue's eyes full of doubts.
Do people speak so directly now?
Why not lie?
It's not that Zhu Jue can't make up a lie, it's that he doesn't think it's necessary.
Originally, Zhu Jue's plan did not have this link, and he would only follow up because the hive system found out about this transaction, and the monitoring function included in the latter was not just fixed-point monitoring.
In fact, after the gentleman left the house, the mobile monitor of the hive system had followed him and monitored the whole transaction, and the conversation between him and the man next to him Zhu Jue was also heard clearly through the headphones, otherwise Zhu Jue would not have taken the initiative to expose himself.
"I know who you are, a gentleman's temporary, am I right?"
Obviously, the man in sunglasses is also a smart person, and he guessed his identity just by combining a few elements between Zhu Jue's words.
"That's right, so you should understand what I mean by that passage above. ”
Zhu Jue still told the truth.
"Of course I understand, it's really rare, the matter of a gentleman hiring a temporary worker has not been exposed in the past few years, as far as I know, there are quite a few times, but there has never been a person who can do your thing, and it has even been tracked back to me...... Aren't you afraid that I will tell the gentleman now? Be reasonable, whoever breaks the contract will not end well. ”
After clarifying Zhu Jue's identity, the man in sunglasses immediately laughed a little more in his words, and the expression on his face was no longer as solemn as just now, but with a strange look.
It's just a temporary worker, what can it be, he doesn't know the strength of a gentleman, but he also knows a rough idea.
Why do gentlemen dare to solicit and squeeze these people in such a way that is akin to "cutting leeks"?
Was his plan really that seamless?
In the final analysis, isn't it because he thinks that no matter what accident happens in the end, he can easily uproot the disobedient "leek" with his own strength.
Those who have only had a few adventures in the Dream Realm can compare to him and the Black Swan who have been operating in it for several years.
It's just that I wish this "leek" to grow particularly strong...... Special, special, extraordinary!
"I'm not here to talk to you about any deals, I'm just here to inform you that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, in three days, the gentleman should be gone...... If you don't believe me, tell the gentleman now, and let him come to me, and in that case, tonight may be the last time you meet him. ”
The man in sunglasses won't say anything, Zhu Jue is sure of this, so he dares to say this kind of thing to his face.
The reason is simple, in the negotiation that he overheard just now, the gentleman mentioned a very interesting thing.
"If you don't help me, I'll go and cooperate with the Dream Eaters, and when the time comes, if I lose my passage here, you will only regret it!"
This sentence was said by the gentleman himself, and the content is very easy to understand, the gentleman stepped on two boats, and his hole card was the space door.
"Are young people so arrogant nowadays?"
Now it's the sunglasses man's turn to be confused, in his opinion, the purpose of this temporary worker looking for himself should be to unite himself to kill the gentleman, and all he has to do is choose between the two options of informing the gentleman and helping the latter.
Who would have thought that the temporary worker would announce the gentleman's mortal end without saying a word...... Can you go on?
"You need to continue the transaction with the gentleman, don't you, I will be his successor, I can give you the terms of the gentleman's transaction with you, and I can also give you preferential treatment, and it is not impossible to cooperate more deeply in the future, under this premise, I will meet with you first, if you can, you still want to ask some questions, is it too much?"
Without waiting for the man in sunglasses to respond, Zhu Jue turned around for the first time, nodded the gem in his hand and added with a smile,
"What's more, I gave you a gift first, and I killed a Dream Eater on my last trip, so it's full of sincerity. ”
"It's surprising that a gentleman would be under your watchful eye in turn. ”
Speaking of this, the man in sunglasses naturally realized that Zhu Jue's appearance in Egret Square was not due to coincidence, he pondered for a while, and then asked,
"What do you want to know?"
He decided to listen to the temporary worker's answer, and maybe there would be a windfall.
"According to my investigation, the Shimmering Gold Bank is undoubtedly a lie on the part of a gentleman who uses us to collect treasures for him in the realm of illusions and to do strange things...... I wonder what exactly a gentleman does, harvesting profits in this way, and I don't believe he has any other business. ”
"You're right, you people are just a part of the business he controls, and the gentleman holds a spatial door to the fantasy realm in his hands, relying on this passage that can connect with reality, it can be said that he has made a lot of money in the past few years...... Broker and Postman, this is the code name he often uses when dealing with us people, you should understand the meaning of these two titles, there is no point in just killing the gentleman, since you are his temporary worker, you should have entered the space door, and now you want to do it, you should have found the location of the door, right?"
When it comes to the space door, the emotions that emerge in the eyes under the sunglasses are a little intriguing, deliberately directing the topic to this most critical issue.
That door, they have been coveting it for a long time, but the gentleman doesn't know how to use to reach a cooperation agreement with the Dream Eater, so that they don't dare to act rashly, for fear that the gentleman will fall to the Dream Eater, and now this person in front of him wants to replace the gentleman, could it be that he has found the location of the space door?
"Of course, how could I have done anything to a gentleman if I hadn't found that door. ”
Tonight's Zhu Jue is simply not too sincere, asking what to answer, and his answer is undoubtedly what the man in sunglasses wants to hear.
"As long as you can truly replace the gentleman, of course we can cooperate, and I promise to know everything about your problems. ”
No matter what means the other party was ready to use, compared to the difficult gentleman, he thought that this "arrogant" young man was undoubtedly better to deal with, paused, and continued,
"But it's all based on your success in replacing the gentleman, until then, I won't reveal any key information to you, after all, the gentleman is my partner right now, you're not, all I can do is wait for you to decide the winner without interfering. ”
"That's enough, and I hope we have a good time working together in the future. ”
Zhu Jue found this person today, just to achieve this purpose, from what he had just eavesdropped, he knew that this man in sunglasses came from the real traveler organization, and he seemed to have some kind of resource in his hand that was very important to the gentleman.
As Zhu Jue said above, he didn't want all he would get after killing the gentleman was just a dry space door, if he could, he naturally hoped to take over as many things as possible.
"Happy cooperation in the future!"
No matter how this sounds, it sounds a little awkward, but the two of them have a smile on their faces when they shake hands.
Who will have the last laugh?
