Chapter 15 Concealment
Beneath his feet was the moonlight that filled the ground like shards, and it was as quiet as if he was sinking under the water.
Under the dense forest, Kimir stood silently, waiting for someone.
In his perception, there was an extremely faint demonic aura that was rapidly approaching, completely exceeding the limits of human beings.
Soon, the demonic aura stopped not far in front of Kimir.
"It's been a long time, Sincha." At night when ordinary people's eyesight is extremely limited, Kimir looks in front of him and greets him in a very cordial tone.
"I'm just here to hand over, and it's more appropriate to talk about it after I return to the organization." A dry, hoarse male voice came from the darkness.
"Without going back to the old story first," Kimir said helplessly, "I'm afraid you'll report my mistakes to the organization after listening to my report." ”
"You tell me what's going on." Hiding in the darkness and not showing his face, Singa said in a somewhat commanding tone.
"A defective product has come into contact with the soldier I'm in charge of."
"The organization has rules that defective products should be solved immediately, have you lived too long and your brain has rotted!" There was a rather threatening voice in the darkness, and it sounded like he was very concerned about this kind of thing.
Kimir pursed his lips slightly, restraining his irritation.
"I was careless, it was my job mistake."
"Can you tell how much exposure you've reached?" Singa asked.
"The defective product was first cut off on the arm, then beheaded, and died on the spot. I came into contact with the fighter in charge tonight, and she took the initiative to report to me about the defective product, and I prevaricated. The preliminary judgment is that she has not received any news that is unfavorable to the organization. ”
"Don't take it lightly, keep watching, if there is any change, you should know what to do with her."
"Yes."
Kimir took out a booklet and threw it to Singa, saying, "Here are the contacts of all the organizations in the NO.31 area and an up-to-date map. ”
A similar pamphlet was also thrown to Kimir.
"This is the NO.39 area, I heard that it is because of your recent report that the organization has raised the ranking of the fighters you are responsible for quite a bit."
"But no, you want to change fighters quickly, right?" Singa let out a shrill chuckle.
Ignoring Singa's cynicism, Kimir said: "For the sake of us all on one side, please don't report this matter to the organization, otherwise I may not even be able to do it as an agent of NO.47." ”
"Hmph, I'll cover it up for you, but next time it won't be so easy."
"Well, I must keep it in mind. After the handover, I'll take my leave. ”
……
Time back to tonight.
After confirming that the demon was dead, Annabelle cut off the demon's head, tied it with grass and vines on the spot, and returned to the village with Li Fang.
The blood from the wound seemed to have no end, oozing slowly and continuously.
Li Fang followed Annabelle on the other side, he was far from hearing Annabelle's conversation with the demon, he didn't know what the demon said, so that Anna didn't kill it immediately, and her expression was like thinking about something that puzzled her.
Something important must have happened.
Although it was unclear what was going on, Li Fang was worried about Annabelle.
"What did the demon tell you? Anna, can you tell me about it? ”
Li Fang knows a lot of secrets in this world, and if nothing else, he can even predict the future, but it is best not to reveal this information at all now, otherwise it is likely to lead to annihilation.
"I'm thinking about this demon. The old village chief guessed correctly, the two demons in the village were the brothers. But this demon who has transformed into a younger brother feels very different to me. ”
Annabelle paused, her expression complicated: "It gives me the feeling that it may be more like a human than a demon......"
But then she shook her head and denied herself: "But it's indeed a demon that feeds on human internal organs, and demons have existed like this since ancient times, perhaps, it's just a monster within a monster." ”
This is a secret in the world of greatswords.
Li Fang still remembered the truth of the matter, but he really didn't dare to tell Anna.
Although she can deal with the demons that ordinary people have no way to deal with, but in this world, her current strength is still too weak, and the more she knows, the more dangerous it will be.
If she knew and believed that fact, Annabelle would definitely defect to the organization, but the ensuing crusade would not be able to bear it.
In this case, the only way to hide the truth from Anna is to hide the truth.
Li Fang said: "Demons also have wisdom, and they should have the same seven emotions and six desires as humans, I think it is possible for one or two freaks to appear." ”
"Well, there are those who only eat vegetarians, and that demon may be like that."
Annabelle remembered the last words of the demon, maybe there would be such a strange existence in the real demon.
"Anna, if Kimir asks you about this demon, don't you tell the truth? Let's just say that the demon acted as a pitiful pretence and tried to deceive you and then sneak attack, but you didn't let it succeed. ”
Li Fang was not at ease, thinking that the agent should be able to inquire about this matter, so he took a preventive shot first.
"Why can't you report it truthfully?" Anna asked.
"After all, we are working under other people's hands, and I feel that the water in this organization is very deep, so we still behave as normally as possible, and if we talk less trouble, there will be a lot less trouble."
"Yes." After thinking about it, Annabelle agreed, and then she reached out and patted Li Fang's hair, showing a smile: "It's really a small ghost, but sometimes it's very reliable." ”
……
After the two returned to the village, they handed over the demon's head to the village chief, signaling that the task had been completed, and after explaining that someone came to collect the money, Li Fang followed Annabelle and left the village overnight.
As is customary, the two found a place to rest in the field not far away, waiting for the mission to come and announce a new mission after the mission was over.
This time Kimir didn't make them wait long, and came to him that night, but his expression was a little solemn.
"You seem to be in some trouble on this mission, it's just two demons, what happened?"
Annabelle leaned back against the big sword, glanced at Li Fang, who was still sleepy-eyed after being woken up, and said succinctly: "There is a demon hiding outside the village, and I only found it at dusk today." ”
"Could it be a demon hiding outside the village? This kind of example is rare, so let's talk about its information. ”
Annabelle didn't doubt him, and was about to speak, when Li Fang on the side preemptively said: "It seems to be the most cunning kind of demons, isn't it?" ”
"Well, I almost got scammed." Annabelle glanced at Li Fang without a trace, and then said: "It made itself very weak, and it did not resist my attack in the slightest, plus it lied that it had not killed a human, and its internal organs were all given to it by another demon, which made me make a wrong judgment, because even if I don't kill it, it will soon be weak and die." ”
"As a result, as soon as I turned around, he sneaked up from behind, but fortunately I retained a vigilance and ended up with it."
"It's stupid to believe the words of a demon, Annabelle." Kimir's eyes drooped, a glint of doubt in his eyes.
"It's embarrassing, but I've never seen a demon so well disguised, so I really didn't tell the real from the fake for a while." Annabelle looked the same way, "You know, I was mediocre in this area during my training days. ”
“…… Remember, you can't trust a word of the demon's words. Things that even trainees know didn't expect you to make mistakes. ”
Annabelle lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Got it." ”
"Alright, that's the end of the conversation." Kimir's tone became a little more relaxed.
"I have good news, the next mission is in the easternmost part of this area, where there are five demons, however, there is a new person who will complete the mission with you, and then she will take over from you in charge of the area. After completing the mission, you will go to the NO.39 area, and I will also transfer there with you. Congratulations, the new NO.39 of the organization, Annabelle. ”
