Chapter 221: A Traitor Among Us
"What happened?"
Fairy Island Central.
On the long old stone steps, the masters of the four divisions had just reached the top and were resting.
Different from ordinary small lapels such as Cheng Lin, the task of these masters of the third rank and above is not to pick up broken magic weapons, or even if they do, it is incidental, the real core task is to explore the center of this island, or to put it more temptingly - to find the inheritance of Cheng's predecessors.
The line of messages on the cliff not only aroused heated discussions among the people, but also made the powerhouses of the major divisions unable to calm down, they coveted the inheritance of an ascended person, but even so, they still maintained enough caution.
For example, instead of trying to parachute directly into the complex, they chose to land under the ruined mountain gate and hit the stone steps up that stone staircase.
The progress is fast, after all, there are many masters.
At this time, the entire stone staircase has been opened, and the cleaning of the dilapidated mountain gate building is about to begin.
That's when they saw the flare rising from the distance.
"Something important?"
Shen Shanjing, the head of the Ninth Division, was resting, and at this time, he recognized that one of the signals came from the Ninth Division, and he couldn't help but move in his heart.
Not far from him, there stood a man with a powerful aura, and that was the head of the second division.
Next to it, in turn are the heads of the six divisions and the ten divisions, and they have already arrived in this joint exploration, and next to them are the rest of the masters of the major divisions.
In addition to these masters, what is more conspicuous is a group of researchers dressed in white.
At this time, the head of the second division also saw the flying signal, his eyes fluctuated faintly, and he turned his head to look at Shen Shanjing.
The two flares were next to each other.
"Chief Shen, send one person each to take a look?" He said calmly, not showing joy or anger.
Shen Shanjing nodded, turned to look at Yang Congxian, who was meditating silently on the stone steps, he didn't speak, Yang Congxian opened his eyes, nodded, got up, and hurried down the mountain.
At the same time, a deputy director with a huge bald head on the side of the second division also stood up and ran down the mountain.
Two men were sent to leave, and the rest got up and continued to walk towards the square.
……
After the signal was transmitted, the people from the two divisions began to wait in place.
Separated from each other by some distance, they quietly confronted each other.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.
Cheng Lin sat on the ground, recovering his strength while thinking about what to do next.
looked at Xu Dong opposite, his expression was much more indifferent than at the beginning, which made Cheng Lin mutter:
It's finally calming down...... Feeling supported and lacking evidence?
Strictly speaking, Cheng Lin was a little curious about Xu Dong's identity, according to the information he had already had, that Sanxiu came from an organization called "Black Fang", and after he was seriously injured by himself, he escaped by the river, all the way up the river, and finally felt safe, and came out into the woods to rest, which should be a reasonable inference.
There was a movement in his footsteps before entering the woods, and he must have been heard, so the scattered cultivator lay down and pretended to be dead to attract his attention, Xu Dong was ambushed behind, ready to ambush, but he was recognized by himself in advance, so Xu Dong came out and temporarily changed the plan, and Xu Dong attracted his attention head-on, and the scattered cultivator got up and sneaked attack......
This logic is very clear, Xu Dong and Na Sanxiu must be accomplices, but it is difficult to speculate what the relationship is inside.
Xu Dong also belongs to the Black organization? Or is it just a personal connection to the sanctuary? Why is he there? Probably there was a special contact between the two, and they asked Xu Dong for rescue after they were injured? It's possible......
The problem is that in the confrontation, the two identify each other as moles, but both lack direct evidence...... No, I seem to have proof.
Cheng Lin touched the blood on his face, and remembered the severed hand again.
He blinked, recalled the whole process of Xu Dong's appearance, and remembered a question:
"Xu Dong, do you know that I cut off that hand in Sanxiu? That Sanxiu shouldn't know me, before I entered the woods, even if the two had some communication, Xu Dong couldn't know that it was me who seriously injured Sanxiu, and he couldn't describe it at all, at most he only knew that it was a person from the Nine Divisions. ”
"After I entered the woods, they didn't have a chance to communicate during the whole process, and then I killed the Sanxiu...... Can you boldly guess that Xu Dong doesn't know at the moment that it is me who is seriously injured and scattered? ”
Cheng Lin blinked, feeling that this was very likely.
Of course, it is not excluded that before he entered the woods, the scattered cultivators had already discovered him, but it is known that they are all elemental cultivators, so they should not be able to perceive it......
was thinking about it all over his head, and suddenly, Cheng Lin looked up consciously, and saw that in the distance, two figures were rapidly approaching.
Yang Congxian and the deputy head of the second division came side by side, and the two of them ran extremely fast, almost like phantoms.
It goes without saying that Yang Congxian is a fourth-grade monk, as for the other one...... Cheng Lin's eyes widened slightly, and the momentum on the other party's body seemed to be a big level higher than Yang Congxian, could it be the fifth grade?
The Second Division of the Demon Capital actually sent a Wupin?
"Deputy Director!"
"Deputy Director!"
At the same time, the small lapels on both sides also saluted.
Deputy Director? This bald head suspected of being a five-grade is just a deputy? The second division is indeed worthy of being second only to the existence of the first division.
Cheng Lin was secretly surprised, and felt that the second division had a strong foundation.
……
"What happened?"
"What's the matter?"
The two deputy directors stood still and asked separately.
Feng Qi glanced at the leader of the small lapel on the opposite side, got up, and briefly recounted the matter.
When they heard that there was a traitor in the illegal loose cultivation organization, the two deputy directors had cold faces at the same time, their eyes were like electricity, and they glanced at everyone, and the faint pressure made everyone subconsciously shudder!
"Is that so?"
"Xu Dong, is that so? What happened, do you elaborate, is there any evidence to prove it? Don't worry, I'm here, no one can slander you! ”
In the face of such an incident, the two deputy directors attached great importance to it.
The deputy head of the second division stared at Cheng Lin even more, as if he was about to shoot and kill if he made a slight move.
He obviously believed in Xu Dong more, or rather, on this occasion, he had to show that he trusted Xu Dong.
After all...... This can involve the organization of loose practices...... When it comes to the problem of mole, if it is really a problem with your own family...... The face and the follow-up responsibility are great.
Yang Congxian's demeanor did not fluctuate, he just glanced at Cheng Lin, his eyes moved slightly, he still retained a trace of impression of Cheng Lin, the first two of them had a photograph in Ningcheng projection, and Cheng Lin had just awakened at that time.
"In that case, you will face up to the confront, and you will have a clear judgment on the merits!"
Cheng Lin's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, he nodded, looked at Xu Dong with a smile, and asked, "Do you say it first, or do I say it first?" ”
Xu Dong hesitated: "You say it first." ”
"Okay," Cheng Lin nodded indifferently and said, "It's very simple, when I was exploring the island, I passed by a forest, and found that there was blood on the ground, which extended into the woods, and after entering the woods, I found a loose cultivation ......"
Cheng Lin's tone was very slow, and he recounted the matter in detail, and everything he said was true, but he concealed the incident of the previous fight with Sanxiu, which was also a test of Xu Dong.
After he finished speaking, he smiled at the two deputy directors, then looked at Xu Dong and said, "It's your turn." ”
Xu Dong seemed to be much calmer at this time, after listening to Cheng Lin's narration, he became more confident, stared at Cheng Lin coldly, and said: "You are shameless, you actually reversed black and white, obviously I entered the woods, broke your business, it was I who killed that Sanxiu, and then I was chased and killed by you!" ”
Cheng Lin looked at him, "Are you sure?" ”
"Of course!"
"You said you killed the man? I still have his blood on my face, so I can test it. ”
"That's a splash, what does that mean?"
"What do you mean, he and I are accomplices?"
"Naturally!"
Cheng Lin's face became strange, he looked at Xu Dong, and sighed in his heart, this temptation, he had already determined that Xu Dong really didn't know that the person who seriously injured the cultivator was himself.
How so...... Information asymmetry will really kill people.
The two of them answered each other, and they completely fell into the eyes of everyone, the two deputy directors frowned, and the bald five-grade powerhouse looked at Xu Dong and asked, "So, you can't come up with direct evidence?" Prove that there is something wrong with him? ”
Xu Dong shook his head.
Yang Congxian also looked at Cheng Lin and asked, "You also have no evidence to prove that he has a problem." ”
Cheng Lin shook his head and smiled: "No, I have." ”
Yes? Do you have proof?
Xu Dong's demeanor changed, and he forced himself to calm down: "Do you have evidence?" Then take it out? ”
Cheng Lin looked at Xu Dong with pity and said, "My previous narrative is actually not complete, so don't you wonder why I happened to appear there?" Also, that Sanxiu was seriously injured, you probably don't know who seriously injured him, right? In fact...... That person is me. ”
"Before that, I was attacked by this loose cultivator, fought with him, and cut off one of his hands, after which this loose cultivator escaped.
I chased after you along the river, and I bumped into you, oh, by the way, I was attacked with Cao Wei, a student of the Tenth Academy, who was paralyzed by the poison of the scattered cultivators, and I had already sent her to our boat in the Ninth Division for treatment.
The severed hand had already been sent to the ship, and it was recorded by our men...... So, with all the human and material evidence, I would like to ask you, if I am an accomplice with him, why would I seriously injure him? ”
After Cheng Lin finished saying word by word, Xu Dong was quite calm at first, but slowly, his face turned pale.
In the same judgment as Cheng Lin, he really didn't know about it.
At that time, Sanxiu only said that he was seriously injured by the small lapel, and as for who it was, it was impossible to describe it at all.
After that, they found that someone was approaching, and the two hurriedly made a simple trap ambush, but they didn't have time to communicate.
So, he didn't know about it.
This becomes the weight that overpowers the scales.
Seeing Xu Dong's demeanor change, Cheng Lin added with a faint look in his eyes:
"Moreover, I was told that it was said that the loose cultivator came from the Black organization, and the people of this organization hid a symbol on their wrists, which is usually not visible at all, and only appears when the blood stops flowing, which is a mark, and I think that the mole may also have this mark......"
"What do you mean? What symbols? Blood stops flowing? Can you still cut off your wrist with your words? Xu Dong was anxious.
Cheng Lin said quietly: "No, well, I just came up with a way, you have played the hanging bottle, the kind of rubber band used in the hospital, tied to the wrist, tied tightly, compressed blood vessels, I thought...... Is it possible to try it with this scheme, anyway, you are not afraid of shadows, do you want to try? ”
When the words fell, the two deputy directors had already looked at Xu Dong with a calm face.
Especially the deputy head of the second division, the corners of his eyes were jumping, "What he said is true?" ”
The next moment, I only saw Xu Dong suddenly slash out with a wind blade, and then, he turned around and ran into the distance!
Ran away?
Cheng Lin was also surprised, according to his thoughts, Xu Dong should be able to hold on a little longer, his own evidence can actually only clear his own problems, but it is still difficult to make fatal accusations against Xu Dong, as for the method of tying rubber bands...... That is to say......
Unexpectedly, Xu Dong actually collapsed in his heart and fled directly.
"After all, I'm only a young man about twenty years old, this psychological quality is not good, it's not professional at all......"
Cheng Lin complained in his heart.
And seeing Xu Dong fleeing, there was no suspense about the matter.
The deputy director of the second division trembled angrily, "Traitor, damn it, how did the academy do the censorship?!" Something like this is going wrong?! ”
He was heartbroken and his face was dull, and Yang Congxian next to him smiled and said leisurely: "Your company is talented, and you actually ran away, do you want me to help arrest him?" ”
The deputy head of the second division gritted his teeth, and said in a dry and cold tone: "Don't bother Deputy Director Yang, there is a problem with our people, and I will clean up the portal!" ”
After that, he didn't chase or move, just stared at Xu Dong who was running farther and farther away with his eyes like a dead man.
The right hand became a claw, a bright white light cluster appeared in the palm of the palm, and the violent aura fluctuations were like boiling water, and the momentum of the five-rank powerhouse fluttered, he didn't seem to be worried that Xu Dong would run away at all, this was the confidence of the five-grade powerhouse.
It was only after Xu Dong ran out of almost 400 meters that the light cluster in the hands of the deputy head of the department was suddenly lifted by him, and then, I saw that the light cluster spread and extended rapidly, turning into a slender, straight, 500-meter-long light knife!
"Go!"
The deputy head shouted angrily, and the five-hundred-meter-long knife was cut down.
Xu Dong, who was in the distance, was suddenly pierced through his chest and abdomen by the sword, and the whole person was stunned, screamed, and fell to the ground!
Cheng Lin's eyes shrank next to him, and he was speechless:
"It's really an inch long, an inch strong......"
