Chapter 87: Sarcasm
At the same time, the other end of the Notick base.
"How long is Clark going to stay here? Other than that...... What are you doing bringing me here? β
You may not remember the name, but when rescuing Phyllis, Clarence only told him about the pseudonym, so to this day, Phyllis still calls him by that name.
This is not any room, after taking the military vehicle back to the place where he was resting, Mussell took advantage of the unpreparedness of the soldiers who accompanied them, pulled Phyllis and sneaked out, to be honest, Mussel didn't know how to go here, he could only take Phyllis to hide in a bush with his instincts, although the surrounding situation seemed to be normal, but the accumulated experience of the assassins still made him feel some danger.
"Do you hear me? You haven't answered my question yet. β
Although the previous mood was a little lost, but Phyllis, who had matured in the events of the past few days, would not be as weak as before, she knew that there was no time to be depressed now, even if the rescue here was meaningless, she still had a feasible way, the chief gave them a week left to go to Horant, if they set out from here, they would need to spend almost all their time on the road, that is, they had to embark on the journey today, but until now, Clarence is still at Brody's, and the guy next to him doesn't know what he's doing, and hasn't ~a~ Ben~ read~ the novel ybdu has sensed the danger, and she pushed Mussel who was hiding on the side with some displeasure, and said with a little reproach.
"Be quiet...... What is the point that the number of people you just said is wrong? β
"Huh? Well...... I can only tell you that there are a lot more intelligence agents in Demacia than you think, and you just need to know that those numbers are definitely too small. β
Even Piltover, as an ally, is still reluctant to say such data......? Forget it, none of this matters, in the previous exchange, the Demacians didn't say a word more about the number of people at all, although I don't know if this was intentional, but it always makes people feel a little weird, once the other party mentions related issues, Clarence is likely to show flaws, just immediately refuse the other party's invitation to find a reason to leave is the right choice, their identity is far from being as reliable as imagined, staying here for one more minute, it will be a little more dangerous.
That being said, that's right...... However, these dangers are just Mussel's feelings, so far, he has no tangible evidence that they are in danger, and his current choice actually carries a certain risk, if Clarence's identity is not revealed, then their actions will bring unnecessary trouble to themselves.
This is also a bet, and the chips of this bet are equally amazing, now the time has passed the early morning, this night is a gloomy scene, thick clouds cover all the moonlight and starlight, when the night wind blows through the trees, the soft rustle coupled with the occasional sound of insects, undoubtedly creates a gentle night, in this environment, even Mussel is a little irresistible, let alone Phyllis, she is already a little sleepy she shook her body and seemed to fall to the ground at any time, Even though they had disappeared for a while, the building not far away seemed to be as calm as before, and the soldiers who brought them here seemed to have no idea of looking for them at all, was their judgment really wrong? No...... This is not a mistake of judgment, the more smoothly any mission is carried out, the greater the risk, and when you underestimate your opponent, they will use their prudence to humiliate your pride mercilessly, Mussel said to himself.
"I don't want to waste time here with you, even if we leave tomorrow we can catch up, I'm going to rest."
Just as Mussel was trying to overcome his sleepiness and stay vigilant, Phyllis, who was already sleepy, suddenly stood up, and Mussel, who was startled by her move, immediately grabbed her hand, lowered his voice and reproached: "What are you doing, do you want to be discovered by them?" β
"Let go of your hands!"
First impressions are indeed very important, because he often determines the opinion of a certain person, from the first meeting, Musel's frivolous and lazy attitude made him give a low score in Phyllis's heart, plus she only saw Clarence go to the basement to save her regardless of the danger, Mussell's evaluation became even lower, although those words changed this opinion slightly, but on the way to Notick and the seemingly unmotivated performance afterwards, she felt even more dissatisfied with this man, Perhaps because of the hazy sleepiness, Phyllis immediately shook off his hand and said unabashedly in a sarcastic tone: "You're just a playboy with no ambitions, since you're so cowardly, why did you accompany him to this place, I really don't understand, with such a good friend as Clark, why didn't you learn a little bit from him at all?" β
β¦β¦ Ha?
Such a sarcasm made Mussel completely stunned, although he knew that Phyllis had some opinions about himself, but he didn't expect her to say such a thing, huh...... Maybe I'm really less motivated, but it's nowhere near as unbearable as she says, isn't it? At this moment, Mussel felt the urge to slap her hard, but after clenching his fists hard, he still gave up this idea, and seeing that Phyllis was about to walk into the building, he still walked out of the woods and tried to stop her: "Hey, even if you are right, can you not be tempered this time......
Wow -
"They should be around here, don't let them run away!"
At the moment when Mussel walked out of the woods, several flares suddenly rose into the sky from a distance, and under the miserable white light, the quiet base was instantly ready for battle, in the building where the two were originally resting, there were heavily armed soldiers rushing out of the door of each room, and by the light of the flares, the soldiers who had just led them here stood on the roof of the building and looked at the surrounding situation, under this brightness and vision, nothing could escape his sight: "They are below, catch them!" If you can't do it, you can just kill them! β
Damn it...... This is no joke, don't these Demacians understand the importance of captivity? Mussel didn't have time to be proud of his accurate judgment, he didn't hesitate at all when he heard such an order, picked up Phyllis, who didn't understand what was going on, and hid in the corridor at the bottom of the building, if he hesitated for even a second, the magic bullet of the rifle might have hit them, and the attack of a rifle was not too much of a problem for him, but what about dozens or even hundreds of rifles firing at the same time? Under the explosion of the magic missiles that rained down like a waterfall, the smoke and dust rolled up almost higher than the buildings, did they hit them? The soldiers didn't know, but they were well-trained and they didn't stand still and watch, and while the soldiers in the favorable terrain were shooting, the remaining soldiers quickly rushed downstairs into the crater, and after carefully searching for a while in the smoke and dust, they didn't find any figures, did they escape? If so, the direction in which they fled should be......
"Ahem...... Feed...... You okay? β
If it was just alone, Mussel would have escaped from their attack range, but he couldn't just leave Phyllis alone, although he was not directly bombarded by bullets, but he was only a few meters away from the explosion site, in order not to let Phyllis get hurt, Mussel could only hold her tightly in his arms, after the strafing stopped, he fled back into the woods with Phyllis again with the smoke and dust rolled up, because he endured a round of impact at almost zero distance, which made him also suffer a lot of injuries, and barely coughed a few times in a muffled voice, a fishy sweet smell peculiar to blood began to permeate his mouth.
"Uh...... Hmmm......"
Phyllis's expression was a little dull, the attack just now scared her a little silly, as a spy hidden in the back, this kind of scene may be the first time she has seen it, with such a burden, it is really ...... Despite his thoughts, he would not forget his promise to Clarence that he would keep Phyllis safe no matter what.
The soldiers' judgment was very accurate, after making sure that they did not hit the target, they had gradually surrounded this place, because the vision was not good, they did not dare to go deep for a while, if they wanted to escape, this would be the best opportunity, Mussel leaned down and whispered in Phyllis's ear: "I guess this kind of scene is the first time you have seen it, but there is no time for you to be afraid, now, use your spiritual magic to interfere with these people, they should be just ordinary soldiers, they don't need too high magic strength, okay?" β
"Huh? Well...... I...... I'll try ......"
Although Phyllis said this, but her expression had betrayed her, fear and panic were written on her face, although Musel also had a good resistance to magic, but even standing in front of Phyllis like this, he barely felt any effect, Phyllis gasped, trying to concentrate, but no matter how much she tried, it didn't have much effect at all.
What an unreliable companion...... Mussel couldn't help but smile bitterly, having said that, the situation in front of him did not leave him any time to think, and if his companion could not be trusted, he would have to go on his own at this time.
"Listen, I'm going to deal with these people, you stay here and don't moveβremember not to move, I'll come back to you, understand?"
"Hmm...... But there are so many of them, what are you going to do? Phyllis seemed to ease up a little, she looked at the man in front of her who "had no ambitions" in a daze, and still asked a little sluggishly.
"What to do? Scold...... Thank you for your concern, but please remember that I don't have that good relationship with you, it's just ...... Promises made by men are not something that can be changed with a few words of sarcasm. β
