Chapter 197: The Price of Soft-Heartedness

I always had the feeling that the reason why the human head I had split in half was going to reunite and wrap itself tightly around the tip of my knife was to desperately remember what I looked like before he shattered again, and I wanted to see something in his eyes.

After I looked at each other for more than ten seconds, a trace of green gas suddenly oozed from the human head hanging on the tip of my knife, and it fell to the ground in half with a "pop".

As soon as I withdrew the long knife, I heard Duan Yunfei say, "Thank you, Brother Wu, for your help." But ......"

"However, this is the time for the hell gate to carry out its mission, and no one else needs to interfere. Moreover, everything you do has the potential to affect the mission of the Hell Gate.

Nangong Ling, who came out of the building, said coldly: "Wu Zhao, it's not yet time for you to make a move, why do you want to come in sideways?" ”

I looked at Nangong Ling, and then at Guan Tianyan, and understood in an instant - I was calculated.

From the time Duan Yunfei jumped off the building with Guan Tianyan in his arms, I should have thought of the strangeness in it.

In addition to the warlock placed at the door, there were more than a dozen masters concentrated in the building, and it was impossible for them to be killed by the ghosts in an instant. Even if Duan Yunfei had been forced to jump off the building, someone should still follow him and jump to the ground together.

However, until Duan Yunfei's foothold was stable, and no half of the figure appeared on the window, this could only show that the master of the Hell Gate deliberately did not show up.

They knew I was on the opposite floor, and they deliberately tried to lure me in, and they deliberately left me with the opportunity to split someone's head.

Duan Yunfei should know very well the origin of that human head, and he also understood that once he made a move to cut off the human head, he would most likely be entangled by ghosts and ghosts, and he would never die. If it were the people from the Hell Gate, they would most likely have split up a group of people to protect their companions who were haunted by ghosts.

In the future, their strength will be greatly weakened. The best way to do this is to kick the companion who is haunted by the ghost out of the team and leave him to fend for himself, or desperately try to buy time for Duan Yunfei.

Duan Yunfei sacrificed a subordinate and an innocent employer, so he replaced the person who should have been sacrificed with me.

I have to say that he is not only good at killing people with a knife, but also good at making his opponent throw himself into the net.

After I figured everything out, I was slightly silent for a moment before I looked at Nangong Ling and said, "Since Judge Nangong has decided that I shouldn't make a move, let's talk about punishment!" ”

Nangong Ling said coldly: "I sentence you to wait three more days." In other words, you will not be able to replace the gates of hell until six days have passed. Are you convinced? ”

"Six days, totally fine. See you in six days! I coldly hugged my fists to Nangong Ling, and walked to the street without looking back.

"Wu Zhao ......" After I took two steps, I heard Guan Tianyan calling me.

When I subconsciously paused, Guan Tianyan said, "I...... I actually ......"

"Actually, it's just a test of my bottom line, right?" I said coldly, "Today, the grudge between you and me is officially over. If you do it again, it's revenge. I, Wu Zhao, are very good at holding grudges. ”

When I was about to move again, Nangong Ling suddenly shouted: "Shi Bucong, you go, don't follow Wu Zhao all the way, he can't win." ”

Monk Shi, who had just been driven down from the upper floor, only glanced at Nangong Ling, and then raised his feet and walked over to me.

"History is not followed!" Nangong Ling said sharply, "Don't forget that you have Gu poison on your body!" ”

Monk Shi finally spoke: "Don't forget that you are the referee." Brother, let's go. ”

I didn't speak all the way, but Monk Shi couldn't help but ask: "Zhaozi, why do you want to save Guan Tianyan, you don't owe her anything, right?" ”

I smiled faintly and said, "I'm also thinking, why did I save Guan Qianyan?" If you want to hear it, I'll give you two words. ”

If we talk about feelings, Guan Tianyan and I have no feelings at all, and the only heartbeat she left me was the surprise when I first met.

If I apologize, there should be a little bit of it. In my heart, my father gave the Guan family wealth back then, but he took Guan Tianyan in exchange, and it was an exchange that could not be changed. This kind of exchange is an injustice to both me and her. What I couldn't let go of was not a marriage contract, but a vow I was forced to make.

Perhaps, thinking about it from another angle, it is only by letting one of us disappear that it is possible to make the oath disappear automatically.

When Guan Tianyan landed downstairs, a trace of thought did flash through my mind, but in the end, I relented.

I don't know why I suddenly remembered Gu Piaoran's words, what a tyrant, what a hero, a person like me will never become a hero.

If you don't have a cold eye and a heart that is indifferent to life and death, you will never talk about fighting for hegemony.

Perhaps, I could have watched the lives of those who had nothing to do with me, but I could not have watched my titular wife die in front of my eyes. I'm going to do it because of this kind of soft-heartedness that carries a little bit of responsibility.

My father said that being ruthless is the king of the rivers and lakes, and being soft-hearted will have to pay the price.

I talked for a long time before I stopped. Monk Shi smiled and said: "If you are a hero, Lao Ye and I will not be born and die with you, Mother Dou will not desperately maintain you, and Lu Xiaoying's girl will not move into Lao Ye's house." ”

Monk Shi disagreed: "Just do it!" Duan Yunfei has any chicken and dog bits and pieces, just let him come, and our brothers will follow. If you can't win, can't you die together? ”

I looked at Monk Shi and didn't know what to say.

Perhaps, nothing should be said!

Monk Shi diverted the topic disapprovingly and said, "We have to do something in the past six days, right?" Can you really be chased by a ghost for six days? ”

Six days may not seem like a long time, but in some cases, it can change everything.

If my inference is correct, Monk Shi and I will be hunted down endlessly within six days. Perhaps, before the time comes, we will be corpses, or in some case, we will have to admit defeat and surrender.

What if we could survive six days? Duan Yunfei will evacuate everyone in six days, and throw more than ten people from the Guan clan, including Guan Tianyan, to me, there are only two of us, can we take care of everyone? With Duan Yunfei's heart, he could see his employer being slaughtered by ghosts. As soon as Guan Tianyan died, our mission automatically failed.

The ending is still the same.

I thought about it for a long time before shaking my head and saying, "I don't know what to do." Wasn't that what I was thinking? ”

Before I could finish my sentence, the phone rang. I turned on the phone and saw that the other party turned out to be Dou Po: "Xiao Zhaozi, the cat was ambushed on the way, and he escaped desperately, and now he is seriously injured and can't catch up." How's it going over there? ”

I took a deep breath and told the story as it was.

If it were someone else, I might feel ashamed, but in front of Dou Po, I don't feel that way. She always calls me to my son, maybe this is my son in front of his mother, and he doesn't feel ashamed when he pees his pants, right?

Dou Po was silent on the other end of the phone for a while before saying, "You have met an opponent." That person named Duan Yunfei is known as the 'heart needle', and he is the best at figuring out other people's thoughts, every word you say or do in front of him may be caught by him. ”

"Duan Yunfei is borrowing a knife to kill people, but he is borrowing the knife of the ghost, and no one can find fault with him. You...... If you really can't do it, you can admit defeat, and the Nine Pavilions will do its best to protect you. ”

I know what Dou Po means, she is saying that her old face is still useful in the Nine Pavilions. However, if the Nine Pavilions keep me, how much does the sect need to pay? After all, the Nine-Fold Pavilion is not the Nine-Fold Pavilion of Dou Po alone.

I didn't pick up Dou Po's words, but changed the subject: "Dou Ma, do you know what kind of ghost uses a few sticks to carry a person's head?" ”

Dou Po thought for a moment and said, "That might be a kind of puppetry......"

The real puppet secret art on the magic path has long been lost, and although the puppets that can be made now are weird, they no longer have the unscrupulous power of the ancient puppet mechanism. However, there are also people in the art path who use puppetry to do some simple things.

I asked rhetorically, "Mama Bean, puppetry, puppetry, can't it be so simple, a few wooden sticks carrying a dead man's head can become a puppet?" Why do I think your information is unreliable? ”

Dou Po was silent on the other end of the phone for a moment and said, "I suddenly thought of something, probably related to the ghost you encountered. I'll have to check it out, though, and you're waiting for my call. In the past few days, don't take the initiative to attack, just stick to it. Also, if you need information, contact a person named Shen Fengyin, and she will provide you with information. ”

As soon as Dou Po finished speaking, she hung up the phone, but I frowned. Dou Po is not the kind of person who does things secretly, especially at times like now, she has no need to hide it. She wouldn't tell me the reason for her speculation, but it could be one - she thought of something amazing, and she didn't want to increase my psychological pressure until she was sure.

However, Dou Po has solved a problem for me, and what I am worried about now is that I have no source of information. Duan Yunfei can investigate me clearly, but I can't get any information about Duan Yunfei, someone can help me collect intelligence, at least it can allow me to turn back the situation a little.

However, Dou Po asked me to stick to ......

I was groaning when Monk Shi's phone rang: "Old Ye ......"

As soon as Monk Shi picked up the phone, he heard an unfamiliar voice on the other side of the phone: "Shi Bucong, right?" I am the Inspector of Celebrity and Mercier. Ye Ember and Lu Xiaoying are suspected of interfering with the celebrity ring, and they are already wanted by the three factions, if Ye Ember contacts you, you had better persuade him to surrender, otherwise, you will bear all the consequences. ”

"Fuck you!" Monk Shi was furious, but there was a busy sound on the phone.
