Chapter 406: Late Night Visit
In the quiet and cold ward, the mysterious visitor who suddenly appeared next to the bed immediately made Shangguan Shanshui, who was lying on the bed, vigilant. She looked vigilantly at the dark shadow sitting on the edge of the bed, and the hand covered in the futon silently clenched the pistol under the pillow.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and have you become so cold?" The tall, thin black shadow chuckled softly, and a low, soft voice echoed in the hospital room.
"Is that you?" Shangguan Shanshui lightly lifted the lamp at the head of the bed, illuminating the former who was sitting in the dark. The temperature in April in S City is not low, and the other party is still wearing a black coat that covers his whole body, and he is holding a black soft-brimmed top hat in his hand. The pale, hairless head glowed sickly in the light, and even in the dark hospital room, a pair of round-framed black sunglasses were still perched on the bridge of his nose.
"What are you doing here?" Recognizing the identity of the comer, Shangguan Shanshui let go of the hand that was secretly holding the gun. This move is not to trust the other party not to hurt herself, but purely because she knows very well that the other party really wants to do it, and any resistance on her own is just a joke.
"I'm done with the things in the sect, and I want to take the time to see you." Prometheus looked at the weak woman and said lightly, "That guy from the Spirit, it's a bit heavy. β
"It's nothing, it was originally planned..."Shangguan Shanshui frowned and said, "You came to see me, didn't you come to talk this nonsense?" Now that the plan has reached a critical juncture, do you still have time to leave the sect and hang out? β
"No matter how urgent the plan is, it can't be done by me just huddled in the sect." Prometheus chuckled, "After all, your role is crucial to the success of the plan in the end." I'm here today to see how long it will take to get back to work. β
"In a few days, my application to return to work has already been approved. I'll take care of my side of things, you just have to do what you have to do. Speaking of this, Shangguan Shanshui sank his face and said in a rather unkind tone
"Speaking of which, the incident of the passing year was caused by your negligence in your work. If you have time to worry about the situation on my side, you might as well do your job well! If you make this mistake again, no one will clean up the mess for you. β
"Hehe, being able to hide from the hunter for ten years has far exceeded my original expectations." Prometheus said nonchalantly, "Besides, sooner or later, the 6023 kid will have to be controlled, and it will be a very good opportunity to catch up at that point in time." β
"So how is the plan progressing on your side now?" Shangguan Shanshui narrowed a pair of phoenix eyes and asked in a cold voice, "I heard that last night, in the process of transporting the original embryo, you were ruthlessly calculated by the body of the pseudo-god, and the loss was not small?" β
"Generally speaking, the plan is moving forward steadily." Prometheus's tone was still indifferent and calm, "But Xiao Hei's side is a little impatient, although he has lost a batch of supplies, but on the whole, it is harmless." β
"There are more than 60 top-level embryos, where to put it is a lot of wealth. It's harmless in your mouth, but your words are very arrogant. β
"These sixty-six top-level primordial embryos are just the ones that Xiao Hei used to make the land of Canaan. Even if it was all delivered, it had nothing to do with our plan, and even if it was all lost, why should I feel distressed. Prometheus said smugly
Hearing this, Shangguan Shanshui couldn't help but ask, "So you leaked the news to the body of the pseudo-god?" β
"Huh? Did he say I told him? Prometheus was slightly surprised
"That's not true, he just said that through special channels, he got the specific place and time of your action." Shangguan Shanshui asked rhetorically, "Actually, you leaked the news to him, right?" β
"I didn't tell him." Prometheus shook his head and said, "I came to you tonight to ask if you know and where he got the news." β
He didn't say how he knew it. But..."Shangguan Shanshui stared at the former, "Even if you didn't reveal it directly, it must have something to do with you, right?" β
"Why do you think so? Although I don't want Xiao Hei to start the construction of the Canaan Land now, what happened last night really has nothing to do with me. β
"Do you think that Blake guy will take your word for it? And if I'm not mistaken, the one who snatched a coffin of the original embryo from the mercenary in the end was also your person, right? Shangguan Shan said with a smile, "Since you secretly want to hinder this batch of primordial embryos and fall into the hands of Blake, then you shouldn't have the idea of greedily beating those coffins of top-level primordial embryos."
"So, was it really someone who snatched the original embryo of the coffin? I thought it was all in your hands. β
"Don't you know?"
"I just learned from you, too." Prometheus replied casually, "Chu Jin said that in the end, another Chosen One made a move and snatched away a coffin of primordial embryos. But what I didn't expect was that you didn't catch him. β
"Heh, you don't think you can fool Blake with such words, do you?" Shangguan Shanshui snorted coldly, "Your words are something that even I can't deceive." β
"Why should I lie to you?" Prometheus said gently, but the failure of the embryo transfer last night really had nothing to do with me. β
"How much of your words are true has nothing to do with me. But with Blake's character, it's impossible to swallow this defeat like this, right? Shangguan Shanshui asked, "If I'm not mistaken, he has already started preparing for the Illuminati Conference, right?" β
"You know him." Prometheus chuckled and said, "It's just a council of light, and what I don't know won't come to fruition." β
"I don't care what you're going to do with the Council of Light. But don't forget the agreement between us. Shangguan Shanshui said mercilessly, "If it affects the operation of the plan in the future, I will have to consider changing the partner." β
"Everything is going according to plan, so you don't have to worry about that." Prometheus said calmly, "But you, I don't think you're in a good situation right now, right?" As far as I know, the body of the false god seems to have become suspicious of you. β
"So what? Does he dare to disobey the orders of the Sword Pavilion? Shangguan Shanshui had a cold face and said contemptuously, "What deceived the legend of the gods, in the final analysis, it is not just a dog to the disaster department." β
"So when you return to your post this time, do you still hold the position of Long Mu?" Prometheus asked, "On the hunter's side, will you be the dragon pastor of the body of a false god?" β
"Why, he now has a new dragon herd, and he is a layman who doesn't understand anything. For him, this is undoubtedly the best arrangement. Shangguan Shanshui paused and said, "You don't have to expect to rely on me to play any role in your plan against him." Even if I really let me be his dragon pastor, like you said, he has begun to doubt me, I can't do anything. β
"Do you want to take on another job?"
"At present, no other instructions have been given to me, if nothing else, I should still take the position of Long Mu." Shangguan Shanshui pondered for a moment, and speculated, "Maybe the Sword Pavilion has other plans, but at present, the Ministry of Disasters is quite afraid of the strength exposed to you, and there may be a possibility of transferring new strangers to come to support." β
"Oh?" Prometheus smiled and asked, "Ten years ago, against the four Advent Sects and the rampage of the gods, the hunters only sent two Chosen ones. Now, just against one of us, do you have to use three? β
"Ten years ago, he partnered with the body of a pseudo-god, but even he was afraid of the wounded years. Back then, there was no Advent faction that showed the strength to have five high-level Inhumans at the same time. What's more, if it is only defeated individually, only the Zoroastrian sect can be regarded as a strong opponent. Besides, it's just a mercenary transferred from the Northeast Branch..."Speaking of this, Shangguan Shanshui couldn't help but stop.
"What's wrong with him alone?" Prometheus asked
"Nothing... Speaking of which. Shangguan Shanshui looked up at the former and said mockingly, "Didn't you say before that you were sure to completely untie the chain around the neck of the pseudo-god's body?" Now, as you wished, the Ministry of Disaster has released him, why haven't you succeeded until now? β
"It's easy to untie the chain, but we need to do something else to get him to work with our plans." Prometheus said indifferently, "When everything is ready, I will naturally go and see him in person." β
"I've heard that you've arranged two plans to capture the body of a false god?" Shangguan Shanshui sneered, "Your so-called preparation doesn't mean arresting him first, right?" I'm curious, you don't really have such a naΓ―ve idea, do you? β
"What, do you think I can't catch him?" Prometheus was not annoyed by the former's ridicule, and asked with a smile, "It's very difficult to kill him, but it's not impossible to catch him, right?" β
"Hehe, don't say if you can catch him. What about after you catch him? Are you trying to persuade him? Shangguan Shanshui said mercilessly and sarcastically, "I didn't mean to hit you, it's just that it's been a month, and you haven't even succeeded in persuading you to surrender." And what is it that gives you the illusion that you can handle that monster? β
"What, are you still thinking about killing him?" Prometheus smirked
"Kill him? Wouldn't that be too cheap for him? Shangguan Shanshui said hatefully, "Since he can't beg for death, then I will definitely let him survive." β
"Then I wish you a speedy fulfillment."
"And what about you, what do you want me to do this time? You can't really just come to see me, right? Shangguan Shanshui raised the tablet in his hand and said, "Explain in advance, I can give you some information as I see fit, after all, our current partnership is still valid." But if you want to get all the information from me about the disaster department..."
"How?"
"I can't stop you if you snatch it now, but you don't want to get any more information from me after that."
"Don't worry, I have no intention of doing this kind of thing." Prometheus smiled noncommittally, "I'm really just here to check on your condition and exchange feelings by the way." After all, the time for the implementation of the plan is getting closer and closer, and the trust we trust each other is becoming more and more important, isn't it? β
"So, you're here to give me an appraisal tonight?" Shangguan Shanshui said coldly: "You can survive the deliberations of the Bright Council first." I'm also only going to work with people who can lead the project. β
"Then you should expect me to be the one who leads the plan, after all, Xiao Hei is not interested in your plan at all." As he spoke, Prometheus stood up and elegantly buttoned his top hat on his bald head, "I'm relieved to see that you're okay, so I won't disturb your rest, and I look forward to the cooperation we have solved more and more smoothly." β
"Are you leaving?" Shangguan Shanshui asked
"Well, I need to do some preparation about the Council of Light, too." Prometheus walked to the window, turned his head and smiled, "We'll meet soon." β
After speaking, Prometheus's tall and thin figure disappeared from the window like a wisp of green smoke.
