Chapter 22: Building the Stage
The streets of Landingburgh are sparsely populated by pedestrians, and the occasional few cars pass by in a flash. Even though the plaza under the downtown buildings is brightly lit, the extreme lighting makes the places that cannot be reached by distant lights look deeper and darker.
The weather in Landingburgh is very bad, with a long rainy season in spring, summer and autumn, and winter is accompanied by extremely low temperatures and heavy snowfall at any time; On top of that, fog is an essential part of the year in Landingburgh – tonight, just after dark, another big fog enveloped the whole of Landingburgh, and the cold that had been lingering in the air made people feel a chill to the bone.
The cold weather, coupled with the heavy fog, made the visibility of the whole street extremely low, and only about five or six meters could be seen; The ordinary citizens of Rantingburgh naturally stayed at home at this moment to enjoy their families, and at this moment, only those creatures and people who lived in the Dark World Realm came out.
Tiger pushed his wheelchair steadily, and walked slowly towards a building shrouded in multicolored lights; Although it is not as tall and majestic as the secret service building next to the square, the decoration of flowing gold and hanging colors makes it look brilliant; However, under this resplendent appearance, a group of tall and strong men dressed uniformly all reveal the essence of its existence.
Looking at Tiger who was approaching in a wheelchair, the big men at the door immediately pushed open the door to the hall and looked respectfully at Gran in a wheelchair; No one knows better than them what the identity of the wheelchair-bound person in front of them is—their food and clothing, the most powerful boss in Landingburgh's underground power, and the organizer of tonight's meeting of the bosses of all Landingburgh.
The secret conference room on the first floor was already full, and the whole room was filled with smoke and tension and discord - all the bosses of the underground power in Landingburgh looked at each other nervously, they did not know the purpose of the "one" who had summoned them here today; But what is certain is that something will definitely happen that scares them; Because the first two meetings of the same convocation caused the bosses present to lose three seats forever......
Although they are fierce, it does not mean that they do not know the preciousness of their lives, especially when it comes to their own lives......
……
"Instructor, our enemy ...... this time" Tiger, who was originally a teenager, had a solemnity on his face at this time that did not match his age at all: "Since it is necessary to gather everyone to arrange, then the strength of the other party must be very great; But those who can be called powerful in Lateenburg have either been eliminated by us or have become our allies; Is it a force from outside Landingburg? ”
"Hmm!"
Gran looked at Tiger who was thinking, nodded slightly, and acknowledged his disciple's point of view; And once again there was a rare appreciation in his eyes—among the twenty children, there were not a few who were gifted; And the reason why he chose the other party to be his disciple was because the other party had the same outstanding analytical ability as him; Although he is still very immature, he knows the Tao from the moment he accepts the other party as a disciple, and with the tempering of time, when he fades off the immature coat, his disciple is a new generation of Zhihu who inherits his name.
"It was the boss's own order!"
Gran opened the curtains and looked at the guards in the courtyard downstairs, who had moved out of the old villa with his disciples two weeks before he had entered the Randingburgh underground; Because he knows that the slightest mistake will make his boss's plan go to waste; Although he knew that even if he failed, his boss would not abandon him like his original superiors, but he could not tolerate another failure.
It's not that the last failure cost him both legs, and that he can't bear the pain of failure again; On the contrary, he didn't care about the last defeat and the loss of his legs, and was even a little happy; After all, it is really worth it to see the true faces of countless people at the cost of a pair of legs.
However, this time the task is different, carrying the trust of the boss and the lives of his comrades, he will never allow his own failure; Even if success comes at the cost of his life, he will not hesitate - because when his captain walks into his family with his equally disabled comrades, and he is taken out of the family as a captive animal in the warehouse, his life will no longer be a human being.
When the captain's sentence "The new mission is released, Zhihu will return to the team immediately!" After the sound, when "Zhihu is ready, return to the team immediately!" As soon as he sounded, he already knew where he was going - to follow the captain and his comrades; Even if you are nested in the forest as a wild man, you have to go down together!
As for his new boss, he and the rest of the remnants are grateful to each other; is not only the helping hand extended by the other party, but also unreserved trust - he was born in a family and knows that the other party is not an ordinary person, and many times the orders are full of blood; But what is there about it? After trying the so-called "absolute justice", he has long been used to it......
"This time our enemies are strong! It's probably the legendary creatures......" Gran glanced at Tiger, who was still thinking, and couldn't help but chuckle and said an answer that surprised the other party: "Don't you really want to know what kind of bat the bat wings hanging in Captain Ludao's room are taken from?" That's right, it's the legendary creature! ”
"It's a vampire!?" Tiger's eyes widened—he felt his mind go through a mess like he hadn't seen before; He knew that his instructor would not deceive him with lies, not to mention that the bat wings hanging in Amanda's room were the best proof of this; After all, he couldn't think of any creature other than a vampire that could have such a large pair of bat wings; Taking a deep breath and suppressing the irritability in his head, Tiger looked at Gran, "Are those legends true?" ”
"Of course!" Seeing his disciple's surprise, Gran nodded, and then smiled and conveyed a worse news to his disciple: "And it is likely that we are facing not only vampires and legendary creatures this time, but also werewolves, wizards, and various ghosts......"
"We're going to have a ......," the expression on Tiger's face showed a hint of fear—even though he was far more mature than his peers; But in the face of these legendary evil creatures, he still can't hide that he is still a child; After patting the disciple's shoulder and attracting the other party's attention, Gran said lightly: "Believe me, believe the captain, believe the boss, those things are not terrible, although they all have terrifying legends; But we who kill them will surely come to the supremacy of legends; And afterwards, you're likely to receive a pair of bat wings for wall hangings or wolf teeth for necklaces! ”,
Seeing Tiger quickly return to normal under his words, Gran's eyes looked out the window again—growth needs to be sharpened, and fear is the best concoction in tempering; Although it will take time to water in the future, let him as an instructor lay a good foundation for the other party now!
……
Ye Qi sat on the sofa in the studio, carefully flipping through the materials in his hand - with special doors and windows, the noise on the first floor of the bar has been completely isolated; It allows him to focus on what is in front of him about Mark. Bass's profile; Of course, the information in front of me naturally couldn't be the resume of only five hundred words from the Demon Hunter headquarters; It's a detailed information about the other party from the blonde girl.,Not only the other party's background.,Experience.,Even the information of all the other party's family members is also listed in detail.。
Such a detailed piece of information, of course, could not have been given to him by the blonde girl; It was only after he agreed to owe the other party a favor; Although it is difficult to repay the personal debt, Ye Qi would rather repay the other party's personal debt than face the fleeting resentment in the other party's expression.
After shaking his head quickly, and shaking out the resentful look of the other party that had risen from his mind, Ye Qi's eyes were once again focused on the information in his hand.
A family of soldiers, I also served in the army for ten years......
?? Looking at Mark. Bes's information, Ye Qi couldn't help but touch his chin with interest - after serving in the army for ten years, he directly entered the Senate of the highest government, and then six years later he was released as a member of the party; This is not something that ordinary people can do, especially when the other party is only thirty-five years old; Although this age is already synonymous with father and husband in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the political world, he is just a hairy boy?
And so it was!
?? When Ye Qi flipped through the Mark. After dealing with the things that Beth handled during his tenure in the army and the Senate, he couldn't help but confirm the speculation he had hidden in his heart - the other party was known for his seriousness and iron blood during his service in the army; And in the Senate, he is also a resolute doer; But this is the kind of person who has not been complained about during his tenure; Ye Qi wouldn't believe that with the character shown by the other party, he would not offend anyone in the Senate, but he knew that the tempers of those bigwigs in the Senate were not Mr. Good?
But there is none of the information, and the other party is alive and well so far; Then a reasonable explanation can only show that the other party has great power behind him to cover up for the other party, or the other party is a two-faced and three-faced character, with one behind the surface; Faced with two speculations, Ye Qi preferred to choose the latter - because, if it is the former, it means that when the other party arrives in Landing in a week, the level of chaos will be raised by another notch......
The Witcher's headquarters, the Supreme Government, and the Holy See......
Thinking about the very likely scenario in a week, Ye Qi couldn't help but sneer a few times - come on, in Landingburgh, I have already set up the stage for you......
