"The fear of the enemy stems from your presence. ———— Thieves' Codex

Luo Lan walked into the gloomy and oppressive room.

The branch of the Evil Thieves here, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what kind of mission was going to give him this time, why was it so secretive?

"Sit. The man in black on the opposite side was shrouded in darkness, and a horizontal table was placed in front of him, only a window that was too wide open, and a beam of light penetrated through it and shone directly on the tabletop, and countless dust flew wildly in it.

Luo Lan calmly sat opposite the man in black, and at the same time, he felt a strangeness, the feeling that he seemed to be being watched in secret.

The man in black pointed to his desk.

It was a thick stack of files.

Luo Lan raised his eyebrows, he took a copy and began to flip through it.

The pages of the book swiped in his hand at an alarming speed, and after half an hour, he stopped.

"Done?"

"I'm done. Luo Lan nodded affirmatively.

The man in black pulled the dark line beside him, as if he was sending out some kind of message, the corners of Luo Lan's mouth twitched slightly, this is a commonly used smoke bomb in the thief group, because the general method of sending out messages will never be noticed, he is eight points sure, there must be a real mechanism under the feet of the man in black.

A secret door quietly opened, and a mysterious man wrapped in a gray cloak walked in.

"You can ask. "The man in black cherishes words like gold.

"What's your name?" the mysterious man sat down, his voice was hoarse, obviously deliberately disguised, but a specially trained person like Luo Lan immediately heard that this was an old man in his fifties.

"Theos Landiston. Luo Lan pursed his lips and said without hesitation, for a novice, this kind of inertia may be fooled, but for him it is completely useless, and from the moment he put down the material, he has successfully substituted the role described in it.

"What's your father's name?" the next question immediately followed.

"Earl Zod Landiston. ”

"Your brother's name?"

"Lundit Landiston. ”

"Age!"

"Twenty. ”

"Your ......"

The next twenty or so questions became faster and faster, and they were so intricate that it was impossible to breathe, but Luo Lan not only did not pause in the slightest, but answered them perfectly, as if this was indeed the identity he should have.

Usually asking this level would provoke a few exclamations, but this person seemed to be an exception, he was silent for a moment, slowed down his voice, and said, "What kind of family is the Landiston family?"

"Our family is a cursed family, and all the people in the family will not live to be fifty years old, so my great-great-grandfather thought that this was God's punishment, so he made a promise to the Church of Light that as long as there were still people in the family, one person in each generation would be sent to the church to serve as a propagator of the God of Light, and this generation, my father's son was originally only my brother Rundit, but next month he will turn twenty, and the messenger of the Holy See is coming, and he must send my brother to the church, otherwise he can only donate half of his property to the church as compensation。 But in this way, the family lost its heir, and at this time, he remembered that there was still an illegitimate child of mine, so if he had a son to shoulder this mission, he would naturally not have to worry about the inheritance......"

Luo Lan said while thinking about the intention of the other party's question, such a simple question obviously does not need to be specially asked, this is a reading skill that every qualified disguise thief must master, that is, the general idea of mastering the information in the first time, so the other party must have a deeper meaning, suddenly, a little light flashed in his mind, and there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment ahead.

He continued: "I think there must be many people in the Thieves who can play such a role, but you have found me alone, so I boldly deduce that my main task in the Landiston family is not just to play this role well......"

Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, and sure enough, the head under the mysterious man's cloak moved slightly.

Luo Lan said secretly in his heart, and then his voice raised slightly, and continued: "I guess you must have a deeper intention, related to my unique identity, I think, or you want me to cooperate with a certain force in the family, or use other methods, in short, the purpose is to make the role I play sit in the position of the heir of the family." He lifted his chin and said confidently, "May I ask if I'm right?"

The mysterious man looked at him silently for a moment, and then applauded in loud admiration: "Wonderful! wonderful!" The applause was very abrupt in the dark room.

He turned his head and said to the man in black, "The people of the Evil Thieves are worthy of being elite. ”

The man in black cast an approving glance at Luo Lan, and said in the same flat tone, "Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied, but I have one more small question to remind the members of your delegation. The mysterious man's tone unconsciously became polite.

The man in black was silent.

The mysterious man let out an ugly laugh and said to Luo Lan: "You are right, there are many people in the criminal thieves group to choose from, but we only found you, I don't know if you noticed, the information we provided did not describe the specific appearance of the identity you played." ”

Luo Lan's heart moved, could it be ......

"Yes, you look very much like Lundit Landiston, so to speak, that the first time I saw you, I almost thought you were him. The head in the old man's cloak shook slightly, as if he sighed at such an amazing coincidence in the world.

Luo Lan smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence. From the old man's words, he got a clue, that is, the old man must be very familiar with the members of the Lantiston family, and it is even very likely that he is someone in charge of specific affairs in the family.

He smiled and said, "Can you allow me to ask three questions as well?"

The mysterious man said in a deep voice, "Please speak." ”

"First, can you allow me to show some martial arts skills when necessary?" Luo Lan's question was crucial. Because within this kind of family, conspiracy assassinations are not uncommon, and in order to protect himself, he may attack and hurt others.

The mysterious man said in a deep voice, "This is something I owe to consider, and I will make up for it in the report of the Landiston family." He paused and asked in an inquiring tone, "Low-rank militia swordsman?"

Luo Lan nodded and said, "No problem." "As long as you can show martial arts, as for what kind of strength it is, it is generally difficult to see without the vision of a great swordsman or above, if it is really an enemy of this level who shoots at him, then simply give up resistance.

"Second, are there any unknown marks or characteristics on the person I am playing?"

Without thinking, the mysterious man replied, "You don't need to worry about this question, we have already arranged it." Luo Lan was slightly surprised, he thought that this problem was the most difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Thirdly, how did the real Theos Lantyston and his mother arrange in the regiment?"

The man in black and the old man glanced at each other, and the former said lightly: "Don't worry, we have already dealt with it." ”

Luo Lan's heart jumped, of course he knew the meaning of the word "processing".

He said quietly: "Understood, I have no problem." ”

"Let's go down. "Humanity in black.

Luo Lan bowed slightly and calmly withdrew from the door.

"Is this the right solution?" the mysterious man seemed to be a little suspicious.

"He's the right fit. "Humanity in black.

"I wonder how he would react if he learned that the role he was playing was actually his true identity before his amnesia, the second son of Earl Zod Lantiston?"

The man in black glanced at him and snorted coldly, "He didn't have that chance to know." ”

Luo Lan stood still in the corridor and took a few long breaths, as if to expel the gloom in his chest from his chest. He looked back at the dark door and looked deeply, then left without looking back.
