After Bai Yi's side returned to calm, there was a popping sound of birds flapping their wings in the temple of the Fallen God Cult in the unknown corner, and three crows composed of black mist flew to the middle of the empty temple, and after a lot of smoke, they turned into the three shadows that the Duchess had faced before.

"The news of the shadows came, they failed and abandoned the follow-up attempt, returning the money to us." The second shadow in the middle spoke.

"Just one attempt and then give up? What do they seem to have discovered? The first shadow asked.

The second shadow didn't answer his question directly, but continued, "One interesting thing is that Shadow sent a top Phantom Assassin and three Assassin apprentices who hadn't completed their full training to participate in this mission, hehe, it's really interesting. ”

"How can they actually demonstrate to us in this way? It's really interesting, it seems that their little conspiracy of yours has been discovered, and I think the nails we planted inside them have also been discovered, right? The third shadow said, and there was even a playful tone in the unwavering mechanical voice.

"Don't underestimate the shadows, no one knows when this organization appeared? Founded by whom? I only know that they have always existed, and they existed for a few years, and such an organization should have extraordinary wisdom, and it is not surprising that they can see through our map. The third shadow added.

"No, no, no, my friend, this is not a conspiracy, but an open deal, and as long as the shadows are still open for business, they will surely become our testing stone for us, and dig out the secret of hope for us." The first shadow explained, "At the same time, we don't need to waste a piece of money on this, it's a good deal?" Isn't it? ”

"It's a pity that such a good deal can only be done once, and the shadows have made it clear that they will no longer accept tasks related to this person." A second shadow said beside him.

"It doesn't matter, the point is what did they find during this mission? What is the explanation for mission failure and abandonment of subsequent attempts? The first shadow asked.

"The target is extremely powerful and has some connections to their organization. This is the explanation given by the shadows. The second shadow said, "It's just a few words, but I think that's enough." ”

"Hey? It's kind of interesting... A mage who wields the Circle of Ancient Rosser, but is proficient in the skills of a battle mage, a close friend of Saint Joel, and has some ties to the Shadows of the Assassin Order? The smile in the first shadow voice even came through the mechanical voice, "Is he really from the Gate of Mysteries?" Can such a character really appear in that group of incompetent pedants? ”

"With these few pieces of the identity puzzle, you should be able to find out his true identity quickly, right? People who can meet the above conditions at the same time are rare even in the vast history of history. The second shadow said, "The strength of hope comes from his mystery, he hides everything so well that people can't see his true strength, and it also makes you a little jealous... However, when he is no longer mysterious, he is just a pawn at the mercy of others. ”

"The deal still seems to be a good deal, with the help of the shadows to get an important piece of the identity puzzle. But we may have to pay for the friendship with the shadows, and they may not take our commissions again, which may not be very wise in the long run. The third shadow was less optimistic and reminded him.

"It's a great honor for an unshady Assassin organization to be a lackey in the face of our power and money, so why should you care about such a thing?" The second shadow said with some displeasure, "And that damn hope is our greatest enemy at the moment, as long as we can destroy him, what is a mere assassin organization?" ”

"It's a pity that we really can't make a move, and the strength of those people below is so unbearable, otherwise we wouldn't sit back and watch such petty people continue to be arrogant!" The hatred of the second shadow was clearly expressed through the mechanical voice, and it was clear that he hated Shiroya for repeatedly destroying his plans.

The third shadow didn't seem to have the same extreme opinion of Bai Yi as he did, and instead of answering his words, he changed his words and asked, "What about the assassins?" Killed? Has your plan to sow discord between the two sides succeeded? ”

"No, those four incompetent wastes were let go intact, and that hope was merciful again." The second shadow replied angrily.

"It seems that he also realized something, the people sent by the shadows are too weird, and it reminds him by the way... But it can also be seen that he is very familiar with the shadows, and it seems that the two sides do have some origins. The first shadow spoke.

"Then go and discover his secrets, and when he is fully exposed to us, it's time for him to pay." After the second shadow finished speaking, the black mist that formed his figure slowly turned back into a crow, and disappeared into the darkness of the main hall, ending the conversation.

At the same time, Bai Yi also sat in his laboratory, crossed his legs, and said to the Void Walkers: "Probably this is the case, those assassins should have come to test me, although I don't know what there is to tempt a person like me who is innocent, but in short, I don't think there is any problem in handling it, thanks to the reminder of His Excellency the Assassin." ”

As he spoke, he secretly separated a little consciousness to lightly touch the consciousness of the assassin girl, she was probably really angry, right? has been ignoring Bai Yi, and poked Bai Yi's consciousness fiercely, like a kitten biting someone.

"In short, Your Excellency Assassin is right, and there is no need for me to provoke a group of elusive shadow assassins; At the same time, it is meaningful to demonstrate and overture to them slightly, so that we may be able to establish some contact with them in the future, although they do not need their strength, but the Shadow itself has a high-end and complete intelligence system, which is what we currently lack. Bai Yi continued, while also persevering and gently poking the assassin girl.

And the assassin girl was probably annoyed by him, or felt that his skin was rough and thick and the bite was not painful, so she simply didn't resist, and put on a look of being obedient and letting you pick, and let Bai Yi toss there.

"Although what you said makes sense, I still feel a little inappropriate to perform the mystery of assassination in front of those people... Your identity is already complicated now, aren't you afraid that others will guess your true identity? The engineer interjected abruptly.

Seeing that he rarely spoke not as a gentleman, but as a serious discussion, Bai Yi patiently explained: "Don't worry, those boring people will probably verify all the guesses before finally thinking in the direction of the Void Walker, and the premise is that they believe that the Void Walker is real." ”

For the worldly, the void represents endless darkness and coldness, a melting pot of the soul, an absolute forbidden area of life... Through the propaganda of the church, they also know that only those big devils, big villains, will be sent into the void, waiting for real death in agony.

If the big devil and villain in it can escape back to the plane of reality, it is definitely a very terrifying thing, after such torment and torture, they will definitely lose their minds and go crazy, destroying everything they can see in front of them, which will inevitably cause thousands of floating corpses, devastation, and even the end of the world.

However, this horrific scene is based on the premise that they can escape... In fact, thousands of years have passed, and no one in the endless prison of the Void has managed to escape, and those arrested and executed by the Church Inquisition are ordinary humans who have studied the Void and tried to use the power of the Void.

So for many people, the big devils and big villains in the void are a kind of fear based on imagination, just like the demons, zombies, aliens, and moderate greens in the earth culture, although they are terrible, they are all non-existent.

"No one would have thought that there would be an outlier like me, and no one would have thought that a group of us could lie dormant here for thousands of years, and no academic theory would support our existence, we only exist in their imaginations." Bai Yi said, "Even if I make my identity clear tomorrow and jump out and tell others that I am a voidwalker, most people will think that I am stimulated and crazy, just like a person who suddenly runs up to you and tells you that he is a time-traveler." ”

"I see, I see." The engineer replied, "Are you really going to reveal your identity?" ”

"How is this possible? I'm not stupid. Bai Yi said angrily, "That's what I said, but the necessary low-key and concealment are still indispensable." I don't take the initiative to say it, no one will associate it in that direction; But once I take the initiative to admit it, it is inevitable that some people with big brains will begin to let their minds fly and start to associate, and then they can't control it. ”

"If an imaginary existence like ours really falls into reality, the panic caused by it will increase exponentially." Bai Yi finally said.

In fact, this is also the kind of salvation he is seeking, the kind of true salvation that can make the world accept the Voidwalker is difficult, and it will take a long time and a lot of effort to get there.

In this way, the discussion about this incident came to an end for the time being, and Bai Yi hurriedly licked his face and continued to appease the assassin girl, and whispered to her through a private channel: "Admit your correctness in front of everyone, so it's always okay, right?" ”

"Humph!" He got an answer in a familiar style.

Why have you learned this too? Bai Yi thought helplessly.
