Chapter Twenty-Eight: The First Encounter
Ji Zihe followed behind this person, observing the internal structure of the 'Dingyuan' mechanism as he walked.
What Ji Zihe didn't expect was that the internal structure was unexpectedly simple. Ji Zihe originally thought that the structure here was complicated, and the interior furnishings were quite luxurious.
walked down in a circle, giving Ji Zihe a kind of If no one said that this was an imperial organ, then Ji Zihe would think that this was just like an ordinary family.
"I don't know what to call Xiaoyou?" At this time, the person who led Ji Zihe around asked after a circle.
"Ji Zihe, He Ziji, Hezi Zihe."
Since Ji Zihe first knew that the name of this body was Ji Zihe in Tiancheng, he had deeply liked this name, although his name on the earth was not Ji Zihe, but he resolutely used this name.
"Yang Lingting. The supreme commander of the Imperial 'Dingyuan' organ in the Fengyuan City Branch. The person in front of him said, "I wonder what you think after visiting this institution?" ”
"The furnishings are simple, and the internal functions are reasonably distributed."
Ji Zihe did tell the truth here.
"Hehe, the purpose of the existence of this agency is for the stability of the city, so naturally the simpler the better, if the structure is too complicated, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble when dispatched." Yang Lingting explained simply.
"It's been hard work, and it must have been very hard for the stability of the city." Ji Zihe said.
"Where the duty lies." Four simple and clear words answered Ji Zihe.
During the conversation between the two, Ji Zihe and Yang Lingting looked at each other's eyes without the slightest dodge.
Despite this, the momentum emanating from Yang Lingting was constantly oppressing Ji Zihe.
This is not the coercion of high-level abilities, but just the momentum formed by staying in a high position for a long time.
But after a moment, Ji Zihe finally removed his eyes, and the corners of Yang Lingting's mouth outlined a smile.
"I don't know if you have any information to report to this agency?" Yang Lingting asked.
"That's it." Ji Zihe took out his severed finger and put it on the table and said, "I found it in a remote corner of Fengyuan City. ”
And when Ji Zihe took out the severed finger, Yang Lingting's brows furrowed slightly, although it was very small, but it was noticed by Ji Zihe.
And Ji Zihe's heart is also constantly figuring out Yang Lingting's psychological activities at the moment.
"What kind of information is a mere severed finger?" Yang Lingting said: "If Xiaoyou really can't say any valuable information, then please leave, for the sake of your willingness to contribute to the stability of the city, I will not hold you accountable this time." ”
"Hehe, the director of the agency misunderstood, I came to talk about this information this time, which is naturally valuable. Then please check this severed finger yourself. Ji Zihe said.
"Oh, is it? I've already given you a chance, and if you make up any excuse to arrange the head of your own department, you will be punished. Yang Lingting picked up the severed finger and observed it carefully and said, "Well, it's really not like an ordinary person's finger, but what does this mean?" ”
Ji Zihe had already arranged the script in his heart.
He said: "This severed finger looks like a human finger, but it doesn't feel like a human finger, and the captain is afraid that he has already noticed it at this time." ”
"Well, that's right, go on."
Yang Lingting raised his head at this time, and there was a doubt in his eyes, and said to Ji Zihe.
"This severed finger, I think, should be the murderer's reliance. To put it simply, it is the basis for the murderers who have been executed to dare to kill people in the city. Ji Zihe said: "A few days ago, when I just came out of the mercenary guild, a child crashed into my arms in a panic, and then a person looked at me, and then chased after me. ”
"Does this have anything to do with severed fingers?" Yang Lingting asked again.
"It's a big deal, because the little boy who hit me is the deceased; The murderer is the one who catches up later. Ji Zihe said.
"This kind of coincidence, Lord Ben has seen a lot, if you want to beat around the bush again, don't blame Lord Ben for being unkind to you." Yang Lingting said impatiently with a look on his face at this time.
"Yes, it's a coincidence. But this is the severed finger, I guess, what the killer gets when he unites with a force. And this kind of power is not afraid of the empire. Ji Zihe said.
"With no basis for your words and no real information, I can characterize your behavior as a crime of chaos according to the 'Imperial Code.'" Yang Lingting said with a cold face.
"Don't be impatient, my lord, I'm just a third-level ability, and in the eyes of the empire, people like me are no different from ordinary people. I don't know the Imperial Code, but I'm not stupid enough to do anything like that. ”
Ji Zihe opened his mouth and returned.
"And then?" Yang Lingting asked
"I found out I was being followed, and it just happened after the killer was ambushed." Ji Zihe said: "This shows that there must be a third hidden force in Fengyuan City. And this force, although I don't know what they want to do, is certainly not a good thing. ”
"There's some truth, go on." When he heard this, Yang Lingting began to think.
"I'm just an ordinary person, even if I die outside one day, maybe the elemental beast won't look at it. But if you die in the city, the meaning is different, which is a naked challenge to the dignity of the empire. And this kind of person must be a force lurking in Fengyuan City. Ji Zihe said with an oath.
"How so?" Yang Lingting then asked.
"Because I'm a native of Celestial City, and Celestial City is a city that suddenly appeared on the other side of the Silver Moon Gobi, and the people I didn't offend there don't have the energy to track me down now." Ji Zihe said.
"Really?" Yang Lingting asked rhetorically
"The person I have sinned against is the only family in Tiancheng, and after the Zhang family experienced the big bang, not only did they have to revive the family, but because of the exposure of Tiancheng, they also had to deal with all kinds of sudden accidents." Ji Zihe said: "So, if they are in this state, they still want to come out to track down me, an ordinary person, even if he wants to do this, the people in his family will not agree." ”
"And on the first day I came to Fengyuan City, I encountered this kind of thing, and even now I have only been in Tiancheng for four or five days." Ji Zihe then said: "So, there must be another force that wants to do something against Fengyuan City, and I just had bad luck and just happened to bump into it." ”
At this point, the two fell silent.
"And what do you want?" Yang Lingting spoke after pondering.
"I want to live." Ji Zihe immediately returned to the Tao.
"That's a lot of work." Yang Lingting looked at Ji Zihe with a smile and said, "If you want to live, just stay in the city." ”
"These people have already started killing people in the city, is it a difficult task for them to kill one more of them?" Ji Zihe asked rhetorically.
"How do you make me trust that you are not a person sent by the forces of your mouth, and have come to assassinate the Empire?" Yang Lingting then asked.
"I can't prove it, if you really don't believe me as an ordinary person, then please let me not be here today."
When Ji Zihe heard this question, he didn't know how to answer it. And among all the questions that Ji Zihe considered, he really couldn't think of how to answer this question.
But in Ji Zihe's later considerations, this issue is something that these people want to investigate. No matter how you explain it yourself, it's useless.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I believe what you said. But as for this force, we will find out as soon as possible, so as to get rid of the scourge. Then please leave now. Ji Zihe" Yang Lingting said: "As proof, I will accept this severed finger." Thank you for your dedication to the Empire. ”
"Nope." Ji Zihe immediately refused.
"What did you say?" Yang Lingting seemed to have heard something incredible.
"I said no, as I said, these people can kill people in the city, one more and one less, it makes no difference to them." Ji Zihe repeated: "And if Fengyuan City is in a short period of time, one more person will die." Even if you could kill them all. At that time, did you think there was any majesty to talk about in the empire? ”
"You say it again?" Yang Lingting's voice was cold for a moment.
"Then I will repeat, the dignity of the law lies in the fact that no one dares to offend, not the anger after being offended." Ji Zihe said: "If I am killed tomorrow, it means that there are forces that are not afraid of the empire at all, at that time, what does the chief of the organ think is the legal dignity of the empire?" No matter how many people are killed, it will only make more people think that the Empire is nothing more than a more powerful murderous group. At that time, people's fear of the law will probably disappear. At that point, the laws of the empire are nothing more than a dead letter. ”
"Hehe, sharp teeth." Yang Lingting said: "Since you provoke the empire so much, you are ready to be killed on the spot. ”
"I'm just a person under the jurisdiction of the empire, and I have some suggestions for the empire, if the empire can't even enter these suggestions, it's nothing more than thinking about coming to the empire." Ji Zihe said fearlessly: "Since the adults think that I am offending the empire, then you might as well kill me, it is much better to die on the road to becoming stronger for the empire than to die in the hands of those crazy people." ”
Ji Zihe closed his eyes and waited quietly.
After a long time, just when Ji Zihe was waiting impatiently, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded.
"Hehe... Hahahaha..."
Yang Lingting laughed.
At this time, everyone in the agency was surprised when they heard this laughter.
"Boy, you can not only speak, but also speak." Yang Lingting said: "That's right, your suggestion, Lord Ben accepted it." And your mind is not top-notch, but it can also be said to be outstanding. In that case, then Lord Ben will appoint you as a member of the 'Dingyuan' organ, so don't let Lord Ben down. ”
"Thank you, sir."
Ji Zihe said with a happy face.
