Chapter Eighty-Four: Sweep Down
"Of course not!"
Shadow tried his best to make himself appear humble, not to cross Ye Qi's bottom line, he looked at Ye Qi sitting on the sofa, and said tentatively: "However, I'm trying to fight for it; After all, you don't look like an indiscriminate murderer! ”
"Innocent? Are you talking about yourself? ”
Ye Qi looked at the other party amusedly, leaned back, propped his left hand on his chin, and asked rhetorically.
"This, this, of course I don't count; However, I don't have any conflict with you! ”
Shadow is not a person who is not good at words, but after his life was held in the hands of the other party, he did not say a word, and he had to be quite cautious and considerate; However, without the shadow of the specific information of the person in front of you, it is difficult to grasp the standard; He can only 'discuss' with the other party in the simplest and most direct way-
"You see, I'm just a killer who entered the Shahu organization because I accepted the commission, and I am not a member of the Shahu organization, for this Shahu operation, I just accompanied and didn't have any participation......" As he spoke, the shadow peeked at Ye Qi, however, Ye Qi, who was expressionless and did not show any emotion, undoubtedly made the shadow feel uncertain, so he omitted the words that cleared himself later, and entered the core key to whether he could live:" I know where the boss of the sand fox is, and I also know his real purpose, in exchange for this, can I exchange my life? ”
"It's not about whether I have a choice, but it will save you a lot of time and energy; You don't take us to heart, but be a human being. Especially when the sand fox is destined to hide. Even you will have a hard time finding him in a short period of time; And when you find him. I'm afraid you'll find out that there's another empty nest or trap there! ”
"What's more, once he succeeds in what Shahu wants to plan this time, then you will never be able to imagine where he will be! I don't know who you really are, but you're a witcher, right? After looking at Ye Qi and nodding slightly, the shadow immediately felt more confident and continued: "Sand Fox's plan is related to the safety of the demon hunters, once he succeeds." It will definitely cause unnecessary trouble! ”
Causing unnecessary trouble for the witchers?
Ye Qi couldn't help but be stunned in his heart - the demon hunters in the other party's mouth were obviously the union that included all the demon hunters; Although the power of the witchers is not as strong as that of the Holy See, nor is it as uniform as the model of the supreme government army, but as one of the largest tripartite forces of Lorant, the witchers naturally have their own advantages and deterrence.
Of course, Shahu, under the supervision of the cooperation of the three parties, still dared to rob the wizard secret city. Obviously, they belong to the bold people, and such restrictions are obviously useless to the other party.
Is it the United Holy See or the Supreme Government?
Such thoughts irrepressibly appeared in Ye Qi's heart - in Ye Qi's opinion. If you want to cause trouble to the entire demon hunter, then it is undoubtedly necessary to combine the forces of these two parties to make it possible, especially the former, like a poisonous snake that hibernates for a day, it seems to be asleep, but in fact it is full of hunger in the bottom of its heart, and the fangs in its mouth are also full of venom.
After a moment of deep silence, Ye Qi spoke: "I hope this unnecessary trouble is the same as what you said, otherwise, you will regret saying such words to me at this moment!" ”
Ye Qi is always vigilant when facing his future greatest enemy, the Holy See, and the person in front of him is obviously not the same as the quail he captured, a timid fellow like a quail; Judging from the other party's reaction after seeing him suddenly appear, the other party is not only smart, but also has a very keen observation and adventurous spirit - maybe in order to survive at this moment, the other party can throw his own chips, but Ye Qi can also be sure that if the other party knows that he can't survive, then he would rather take his own chips and die with it.
This kind of outlaw-like adventurous spirit is both admirable and helpless.
As for using the special specialty [Charm]?
Compared with the sharp-beaked monkey gills like the quail, with a lewd face, although the shadow in front of him has a pair of red eyes, but with the slightly pale skin formed by not seeing sunlight all year round, the whole person undoubtedly has a strange charm, coupled with the kind of appearance that can be called handsome in itself - Ye Qi does not have much hope for the [charm] that needs to be identified by the charms of both parties to succeed.
"Of course, everything I know will be told to you truthfully in exchange for my chance to live!"
After hearing Ye Qi's words, the shadow immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the canine teeth on the left that had been biting each other but did not use force also loosened slightly—in the canine tooth below, there was a poison hidden that could make people die quickly and painlessly; This is the last measure that the shadow has prepared for himself: it is far better to die without pain than to suffer a painful death.
Of course, if you can survive, you can bear a little pain.
And the shadow's movements, although subtle, were obvious under Ye Qi's gaze, looking at the subtle changes in the muscles of the other party's face, Ye Qi's eyes narrowed slightly-sure enough, there was poison hidden in his teeth.
However, the next moment, Ye Qi's eyes returned to normal - although such a method seemed a bit passive to him, but this was the other party's choice, what position did he have to evaluate? Especially now that he's clearly in the ascendancy, pushing one side.
"What kind of person is that quail's man?"
Ye Qi did not ask Shahu first, but instead asked the survivor of the other group - in Ye Qi's opinion, the Thousand Faces and his ally were really somewhat similar, and Ye Qi's heart did not rule out the possibility that the two sides were one person; After all, according to Quail's description, it would have been easy for his ally to 'create' such a person.
But. The limited clues provided by the quail were too much for him to judge. And there are obviously a lot more shadows in front of him than the quail knows the way. Obviously a very worthwhile person to ask
"The Thousand Faces?"
Hearing Ye Qi's inquiry, the shadow was obviously stunned, and then when he came back to his senses, he immediately said everything he knew: "This thousand-faced monster was personally recruited into the organization by the sand fox himself, although the time he entered was not very long, but he had a considerable status; Coupled with his ability to make human skin masks and some illusion props, he is also very popular among the entire Shahu organization! ”
"However, compared to the Thousand Faces' ability to make human skin masks and some illusion props, the other party himself has an inscrutable personality and ideas; Do you know what he did before Lu Dao kill a twin brother who worked in a group? That's because of him. Found my closeness! And, I don't know when I have added what I am to the sand fox, and the investigation is clear! ”
As he spoke, Shadow frowned, looking very puzzled - in his opinion, the things he accepted the commission were basically things that were not known to him and the client; Of course he could not have said it himself, and his client was even less likely to say it; After all, after he accepted the commission, his client passed away; The work of burial was done by him.
Shook his head. After throwing out the doubts in his heart, the shadow. continued: "Moreover, after that, the Thousand-Faced Monster offered to cooperate with me to kill the Sand Fox himself; Although he said that his purpose was for the invitation from Shahu himself, I always felt that he had another purpose! ”
"Invitation?"
Ye Qi, who heard the key words, couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
"Well, an invitation letter jointly issued by the top ten dark mercenary organizations in the dark mercenary world, Killing Thoughts, Abyssal Hand, and Terror Lair, inviting the top ten or well-known dark mercenary organizations to participate in a secret meeting in Dude!" The shadow first answered truthfully, and then said his guess: "Last time, the idea of breaking off the killing suffered a big loss in Dude, and it lost several good hands, if it wasn't for the arrival of the duke, it would basically be a situation where the whole army was annihilated; Although it has been hidden in the dark, according to the temper of the commander of the leader of the Killing Thought, it will definitely not be left like this! ”
"However, if you just rely on the idea of killing, you will definitely not be able to fight the other party's supreme government, even if those special service teams are very unproductive, but they still have no way to cooperate with the encirclement and suppression of the army; That's why this commander of the idea of breaking off will do this; Of course, the Supreme Council of the Supreme Government is about to start the election of a new speaker, and this commander with the idea of breaking off must want to make a fierce scene, otherwise, he will not choose this time! ”
Troublesome?
The Holy See will be involved in it, but it's not just a trouble!
Ye Qi shook his head slightly in his heart, temporarily put this in his heart, and continued to ask: "What else do you know about that thousand-faced monster?" ”
"My lord, forgive my shallowness, I don't know much about that thousand-faced monster; Because my role in the sand fox is impossible for me to have a deep contact with any one person! The shadow lowered his head slightly and expressed his apologies to Ye Qi, but after only a pause, he said again: "But, I know where he is now!" ”
"The last 'accidental' meeting not only allowed me to reach a cooperation with this Thousand-Faced Monster against the Sand Fox himself, but also a temporary offensive and defensive alliance! After that, luring the quail to the bait is also part of it! There was no shadow to hide, and he said truthfully.
"So, where is this thousand-faced monster now?"
Ye Qi, who already had a little guess about this, nodded straight and asked.
"In Landenburg, the sand fox himself should be hiding there!"
"Should?"
For the answer in the second half of the sentence, Ye Qi raised some eyebrows; The uncertainty in the other party's words, he could hear it clearly.
"The shuffleboard himself won't trust anyone, even if I'm the shadow he's always praised; He just left me a channel through which I could contact him in Landingburg; So, I'm guessing that the sand fox himself should be in Landenburg; Although I didn't inform the Thousand Faces of the news; But I think the other party must know the news; Otherwise, it would not have been possible to propose cooperation at that time! ”
A wry smile spread across Shadow's face - obviously, not only in the face of Sand Fox himself. It's still the Thousand-Faced Monster. This kind of uncertain thing. It was enough to make him feel helpless; And now Ye Qi in front of him has made this helplessness even more aggravated.
"Then let's go back to Landingburg!"
Ye Qi pointed to the closet beside him, and then walked straight out of the room - he was not interested in watching a man change clothes, and he also knew that the other party would not run away; Compared with the self-righteous quail, this shadow is a really smart person.
……
"The eyeliner of the fox himself. It was deployed early on in the three major cities of Sass Harbor, Landingburgh, and Fateh in the Bay Area, about a year after I joined the Foxboard, when the Foxboard himself mobilized a considerable amount of money to form an eyeliner and intelligence network in the Bay Area! ”
After leaving the secret stronghold one after the other, the two of them left the city of Sass Harbor and got into Jacob's car in the suburbs; In the car, the shadow automatically identifies himself as a captive, and begins to recount some things about the organization of Sandfox and its leader, Sandfox himself.
"Based on the structure and distribution of its formation, I guessed at the time that the sand fox himself should want to attack the Northside family! After all, at that time, the Nosd family had not been rumored of a Solar-level powerhouse for about twenty years, and their methods were becoming more and more gentle; Perhaps the shuffleboard himself already thinks that the Norsd family is in decline and wants to do so before it completely decays. Make a big deal! ”
"For the treasures of these big families, the sand fox himself is very enthusiastic! Rumored. He is the direct heir to a large family in decline, and I think this rumor is very true; Judging from Shahu himself's daily life, etiquette, and way of speaking, he should have received a fairly aristocratic education! However, when the Holy See suffered a setback at the Nosd family estate, Sand Fox sensibly gave up on this goal. ”
The shadow is an addition to this passage, which is obviously of a schadenfreude nature.
"You're ruthless with this guy?"
Jacob, who was driving, glanced at the captive in the rearview mirror and asked—for this captive who obviously had Ye Qi's special attention, Jacob naturally wouldn't take it lightly; Although Ye Qi said that there was no need to worry, after getting into the car, most of Jacob's attention was still on the other party.
"I guess the client's emotions have infected me! As a killer, I'm not much better than that guy! Instead of standing on the highest moral point to comment on the sand fox himself, the shadow shrugged his shoulders and continued to talk about some things about the sand fox: "The sand fox himself rarely makes a move, but his strength should be around the Sun Solar level......
As he spoke, the shadow undoubtedly glanced at Ye Qi beside him - although the pressure on Shahu himself was obvious, but purely in terms of the degree of threat, it was far inferior to the person next to him; Even if the other party looks like an existence that is slightly stronger than ordinary people.
"Solar?"
Ye Qi was stunned for a moment, and then, his eyes looked at Jacob—obviously, Ye Qi was puzzled; After all, the peculiarity of the Solar class, it is impossible for the witcher not to have a record.
"Most of the Solar level will be well known, because when the Moonlight level breaks through the Solar level, the fluctuations caused by it are difficult to hide from others; However, it is possible in some special environments and venues! Jacob thought for a moment and said, "The depths of the Thousand Marsh District, the Sea Forest District, and the Yellow Sand District all have such an effect; And the only place I know, is the church on the Holy See's sacred hill! ”
"Although for the average person, it would be a secret; However, the book of the Tower of Wisdom has been introduced, haven't you read it? ”
Because of the presence of outsiders, Jacob's questioning was very tactful - Ye Qi entered the private library of the Tower of Wisdom, he knew about it, although it was not clear what information Ye Qi went there to inquire about, but according to Jacob's understanding, such a 'basic introduction' book, Ye Qi would definitely read it.
"Although I like to read, the books I read have been biased towards a specific aspect!"
Ye Qi explained, and then, with Jacob's nod, motioned for the shadow to continue.
"Sand Fox himself is good at using unarmed attacks and a scimitar, but what he is really good at should be ranged attacks; That specially crafted scimitar can be split into four or more for long-range attacks! As for his abilities, I don't know too well! Shahu himself always concealed his ability by various means, and even made people in the organization think that he was incapable for a while! ”
"The old nest of the sand fox, at the junction of the yellow sand area and the dry forest area, will change with the change of time, and we will go to different places to gather according to the different times; In normal times, we are basically scattered all over the dry forest area; However, the foothold of the sand fox himself is hidden in the yellow sand area, and according to the living habits of the sand fox himself, there should be an oasis there! ”
"Sand fox is a very extravagant person?"
Contacting the previous rumors about the origin of the sand fox, Jacob couldn't help asking.
"Seriously, it's not a luxury, in the eyes of the sand fox himself, it's just a so-called pursuit; However, this so-called pursuit is luxury in our opinion! Milk baths in the desert and pools with chilled wine are sometimes really unimaginable! The shadow shrugged.
"I'm looking forward to meeting this bold and 'very pursuing' sand fox!"
Jacob, who was driving the car, said.
