Chapter 931: Blade Breaks into the Demon City (5)
Eight o'clock in the evening, in the Castlevania Library.
"I always feel that there is a conspiracy in this setting......" Long Aomin said as he stepped back and turned his head to the greedy wolf.
"Alright, don't look back." Greedy Wolf replied, "Look...... It's closed again. β
At this moment, the three members of Blade's team were standing in a passage made of emerald walls. There wasn't much to say about the road they came, it was just some monsters blocking the way, but the side they intended to go to was blocked by a huge "stone face".
The face was orange overall, with glowing turquoise eyes, a large nose, and a mouth of protruding fangs...... Overall, it looks like a demonic or demonic face.
Five minutes ago, the three of them came to the front of this "face door", and after a few moments of investigation, they did not find the slightest clue to open the door. Just as they were about to turn back, they heard the sound of "snoring......"
The three of them turned their heads suddenly, just in time to catch a glimpse of the face's mouth closed......
Then, after some trials, they finally discovered the pattern of this door - when someone approaches a certain distance and turns their back to it, it will "open its mouth" and become a state of passage.
So, the greedy wolf came up with the plan of "the three of them stepped back and walked into the door together".
However, it is undoubtedly more dangerous to do so...... In case there is any trap behind the door, they will be tricked if they go in backwards like this.
"I don't think it'...... right either," Seven Kill continued, "I'm not afraid of monsters and traps...... I'm afraid that Feng Buyun is standing behind the door waiting for us. β
"That's impossible." The greedy wolf shook his head and replied.
"Are you so sure?" Long Aomin doubted.
"I've seen it for a long time. This guy is wasting time with us. "He doesn't intend to destroy us as soon as possible, he's waiting for something......"
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Seven Kills also turned his head and asked.
"Well......" Greedy Wolf thought for a few seconds. After a moment of language formation, he said, "Remember the communication he made with us through the Monster's Mouth?" β
"Ah, of course I do." Seven Kills responded with a painful expression.
"Think about it...... Greedy Wolf looked serious, "it wasn't a whim, it was a very clever psychological ......inducement," he said and paused for a few seconds, giving the two of his teammates some time to think. Then he said, "First of all, Feng Bujue in this way. We learned that 'we are always under his watch', and by extension, 'he is ready to attack us at any time'......"
Brother Long and Seven Kills both nodded when they heard this, indicating that they were still following the staff officer's train of thought.
Then, through a battle of words with the Seven Killings...... Improvised, quietly revealing some information to us. And mocked us. Greedy Wolf continued. Although his words are false...... But I think you, like me, saw it at that moment...... Those words are meant to provoke us, create psychological pressure on us, and make us speed up the exploration in our anxiety. β
"yes, isn't that so?" Brother Long continued.
"It's not." The greedy wolf shook his head.
Seven Kills and Brother Long's expressions immediately changed.
"Double trap...... Greedy Wolf replied, and glanced at the faces of his two teammates, "Understand?" β
"What do you mean...... Seven Kills replied thoughtfully, "his true intentions...... Quite the opposite, actually? β
"That's right." Greedy Wolf nodded in response, "We might as well rethink through appearances...... Assuming that Feng Bujue really wants us to speed up the pace of action, what is his purpose in doing so? It is nothing more than to expend more energy and life in our hurry. Becomes easier to kill. He paused for half a second, and then the conversation changed. But what does this look like? From the time we entered the city until now, we have not encountered any particularly dangerous blockades......"
The greedy wolf looked up and continued, "Since our actions are always under his watch, why doesn't he do something?" With his ability, even if he doesn't show up and doesn't engage in a head-on conflict, he can have countless ways to deal with us...... But isn't it a contradiction that he just put a verbal pressure on us? β
"Hmm......" Hearing this, Brother Long touched his chin and muttered, "According to your meaning...... Doesn't he want to kill us? β
"Yes, but not now." The greedy wolf's expression sank, and he continued, "According to my observation...... Feng Bujue and the Sky Swallowing Ghost Xiao have one thing in common, that is, no matter how they are strategically arranged, psychologically speaking...... They never put their enemies on the same level as themselves. To put it simply...... They are all desperately blind. He snorted coldly, "Hmph...... So they all have a habit of putting 'defeating the enemy' on the back burner to make way for 'exploring the script'. β
As he spoke, Greedy Wolf gestured to his two teammates, motioning for them to turn their heads away, then back away.
At this point in the conversation, although the greedy wolf has not yet explained all the things, Seven Kills and Long Aomin have already felt his confidence, so they have not questioned the decision to "retreat and enter the door".
The three of them strode back, and in a short time they passed through the mouth of the stone face, from the emerald passage to another black-brown space.
Outcome...... There really aren't any traps that are triggered. They turned again, and the stony mouth didn't close.
"In terms of the current script, Feng Bujue is obviously playing this game again......" After a few seconds, Greedy Wolf continued, "Actually, he doesn't want to fight us so quickly, no matter what he says, what he is actually doing is...... Avoid direct contact with us and procrastination. He paused, "In order to achieve this goal, he needs our cooperation, so he ...... He played this 'double trap'. β
That is to say...... From the very beginning, he counted it so that we could see through the intent of his words. Seven Kills replied while thinking, "So he deliberately conveyed a message in his words that was contrary to his true intentions?" β
"Exactly." Greedy Wolf replied. Then he sighed and continued, "Alas...... Let's be honest. This guy's talent for psychological induction is simply inferiority to me, a serious person who has studied psychology......" He took the opportunity to pretend to be forced, and added, "When he urges, provokes, and pressures us, he knows that we will see through his intentions, and then do the oppositeβsteadily, step by step." And when we did, we were playing into his hands. β
"I'm almost stunned by you...... Brother Long scratched his head at this time, "Anyway...... We've got to hurry now, right? β
"Yes. The sooner the better. Greedy Wolf said, "Don't worry about any particularly sinister situations, just treat it as if you are playing an ordinary script." His eyes changed slightly. "If I'm not mistaken...... Feng Bujue is busy with something else now, as long as we speed up the pace, there will be a chance to disrupt his layout and rhythm. Or even kill him by surprise. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Above the black clouds. Night has fallen.
A once-in-a-century thunderstorm has engulfed the city, and the vast majority of civilians have chosen to stay at home and avoid going out.
However, police, firefighters, medical personnel, military and other groups still have to go on duty as usual......
At this time, on a road between Dark Creek Road and the city, a car was driving at a constant speed. There were two people sitting in the car, the homeless Hill was in the driver's seat, and in the passenger seat, it was the ten-year-old version of Feng Bujue.
Just halfway through the road. Distant ahead...... A neat line of headlights appeared, as if they were heading in their direction.
"It's here after all......" Feng Bujue muttered when he saw this. Then he looked up at Hill next to him, "I'll teach you the lines...... Have you memorized them all? β
"Yes...... Remembered. Hill replied a little nervously.
"Relax." Feng Bujue continued in a lazy tone, "Do what I say, it will definitely be fine, the more nervous you are...... The more suspicious it looks. β
"Good...... I tried my best. Ciel said, taking a few deep breaths and adjusting his facial expression.
About a minute later, they met the car. When you get closer, you can see the cars...... It was mostly military jeeps and police cars, and even a few armored vehicles.
Obviously, that soaring black pillar of light has attracted considerable attention from the local government. However, in such screenplays adapted from movies, the police or the military tend to come later...... So, it wasn't until a few hours later that the troops were assembled and drove to their current position.
Feng Bujue naturally foresaw this situation in advance, and before he left the castle, he had already finished confessing to Hill, in case the car was stopped for questioning, they could fool over.
Sure enough, before Jue Ge's car and the cars of the military and police department intersected, a police car drove out of the convoy and blocked in the opposite lane. Two policemen walked down directly from the car and raised their hands towards Brother Jue.
Hill was also mentally prepared, he slowly stopped the car, turned off the engine, and then rolled down the window on his side, and turned his head to look at the police officers who walked by.
"What's going on? Police officer. Before the other party could speak, Hill threw out a question.
"It's called 'nosy.'" The officer in charge of the interrogation leaned over the window next to the driver's seat and replied, "See for yourself...... Does this seem like something you can ask? As he spoke, he also gestured with his eyes to the armored vehicle that was passing behind him.
I said...... It must have something to do with the black pillar of light, right? Ciel feigned curiosity.
"What? Do you see anything? Mr. The officer's expression immediately became serious.
"Uh...... Not really. Hill shrugged and replied in a rather sincere manner, "My nephew and I were camping by the river in the afternoon, fishing...... Then I saw a pillar of light appear in the sky......" he lowered his voice, "to tell you the truth...... At the time, I thought it was the military doing some kind of experiment...... I was so scared that I grabbed my nephew and ran quickly, and I didn't even pack my camping things. I didn't expect it...... My nephew accidentally fell into the river, and it took me a lot of effort to get him back from the river, and he couldn't swim...... I almost drowned......"
"Okay...... the officer immediately showed an impatient expression when he heard him say a lot, and interrupted rudely, "You take out your driver's license and show it to me first." β
"Oh, okay." Hill nodded, and took his driver's license out of his jacket pocket.
After the officer took his driver's license, he used the light of a flashlight to compare Hill's face with the photo on his driver's license.
Since this is a genuine document and the holder is Hill himself, there is no problem with the inspection......
"How did your nephew get to be like this?" When the officer handed the driver's license back to Hill, he glanced inside the car and looked at Feng Buye.
"Didn't I say that...... He fell into the river......" Hill replied fluently, and his expression was also natural, "I couldn't find a dry clothes to change for a while, and I happened to have his clothes for tonight's party in my car, so I asked him to change first." β
"Party?" The officer asked tentatively again.
"Halloween party, officer." Feng Bujue also turned his head to speak at this time, he pouted, and continued with the expression of a ten-year-old child, "But I heard that it has been canceled, it's really annoying!" β
Hill glanced back at Brother Jue, cast a look of admiration for his superb acting skills, and then turned his face to the police and said, "We heard the radio just now...... The boy was disappointed that he had canceled all the celebrations because of the thunderstorm, and that his outfit was his mother'......"
"Okay, that's it...... Mr. The officer had already taken Hill as a chatterbox, and before the latter could start talking again, he preemptively said, "Hurry up...... Remember to get out of this area as soon as possible and go indoors. β
"Uh...... Okay, officer. Hill also diligently stuck his head out of the car window to say hello to the other party, and it seemed that he was in the play.
Two seconds later, the officer had turned and walked a few meters away, and shook his head at his partner with his hands outstretched.
Looks...... Hill and Jue Ge's performances were very successful.
At this time, the mighty convoy had also passed past Brother Jue and them, and only the police car that had stopped to interrogate them had not yet followed.
Ten seconds later, Hill restarted the car and drove past the police car; The two officers were back in the car at this point, ready to turn around and follow the convoy.
Just when both parties thought that the matter was over, they didn't expect it......
Coincidentally, the officer in charge of the interrogation caught a glimpse of the license plate of the car (the state does not require a license plate to be hung on the front of the car, only on the back).
"Hey! Wait a minute! That license plate number...... Isn't it the car that someone reported lost this morning? β
"Damn! They're going to run, chase after them! β
In the next second, the two police officers used the walkie-talkie to report the situation to their colleagues, sounded the siren, and chased after Brother Jue. (To be continued......)
