Intimate meetings
"Yes, that's it." Resley said with a very exaggerated expression.
"We've got to make a plan or something, don't we?" Jorah still kept an embarrassed expression.
"Of course, let's think about it first."
Jorah's phone rang, and she looked back at them with strange eyes as she entered the room, and Thomas was about to question Resley as she had changed so much, and he wanted to hear her reason, "Risery......
"Shut up." Resley gave Thomas a blank look, and hurriedly got up and left, leaving Thomas on the ground in a daze.
The day soon came, Thomas was woken up by Resley again, Thomas completely changed his opinion of Risery, Thomas rubbed his sleepy eyes and said helplessly: "Resley, okay, it's dawn, let's talk about it quickly." Yesterday you said you saw a poem on the box, or a paragraph, right? ”
"Yes, Thomas, the passage is 'Behold the frost moon as it rises in the sky, raise the banner of the family coat of arms, set foot on the path of the lion, open the door of death, join me in battle, swear allegiance to the family oath, create honor and merit with the sword and shield, reach the other side of immortality hand in hand, and bloom immortal roses in the garden of eternity.' Do you understand? Thomas. Resley wrote that passage down a piece of paper.
"Well, well, I'm not professional in this kind of poetry, I don't have that many feelings, this is what my dad told me, so, I ...... I didn't understand at all, but if you could let me sleep for a while, I'd figure it out. ”
"Stop, Thomas, don't you think there's something strange about that?" Resley said as she slammed the tip of her pen against the table.
"Oh? I think the weirdest thing is that you bothered me twice in one night. ”
"Seriously, didn't you hear something else?" Resley is questioning Thomas.
Thomas rubbed his face with his hands and stood up and walked to the cupboard, Reslie watched Thomas in action, waiting for him to comment or two, he saw Thomas making coffee and rummaging through other cabinets to find some oats or something to fill his hunger, he glanced back at Risery.
"Come on, Resley, I know what you're trying to say, you're focused on the last sentence."
"Yes, it's not true, because I felt the same way at first, and the last line seemed to imply something, but I found that there was something wrong with the whole verse, something beyond common sense." Resley took a pen and drew a line under the last sentence.
"Huh? Let's hear it. ”
"Judging from the whole sentence, it seems to mean that you are going to go out to fight, it is an encouragement or a call to action before the soldiers go out, have you found it, there is still a place here, what things and routes to do on the expedition, since you are going to go on the expedition, it is not a surprise attack, why go out at night."
"This is very normal, we used to drive at night and go to the strategic assembly place, it could be a gathering, or it could be a coincidence or a metaphor."
"Okay, for the time being, what is the 'lion path' and what does it mean?"
"The name of the road? Or a code. Thomas made himself and Risery a cup of coffee, walked over to the couch with two cups, and handed Risery a one.
"What does the opening of the 'Gate of Death' imply?"
"I don't know, after all, war has to kill people, and where there are dead people, there must be casualties, let alone war......"
"I don't know, I think there's something in it that I want to express." Resley took a sip of her coffee and got up and walked outside.
Thomas looked back and saw Affie Miller standing next to him, and he was really startled, "Hey, buddy, you scared me like that, you know, it's bad behavior." ”
"Thomas, do you think the information Resley got last night was something she had imagined out of thin air? Or is she misunderstood? ”
Thomas sighed and stroked his bearded chin with his hand, "I don't know, but one thing is certain, carving such an ordinary sentence on such a box must convey some meaning, or even point the way to those who find it later." ”
"Then why did you refute Resley?"
"The hourglass will eliminate all the possibilities, and even if the impossible is left, it will be the answer, and the interactive refutation will be until one side wins. If there is something wrong with this...... Thomas said and then looked at Affie Miller and said, "Did you come out to question me?" ”
"No, I'm just curious about your behavior, I'm going to take a look around to see if there are any guardian angels around." With that, Affimilla vanished into thin air, and Thomas shook his head, picked up the paper from the table, and read it silently again.
Thomas's phone rang, and it was Ophelina, "Hello, Mr. Thomas. Sorry to bother you at this point. ”
"Well, it's all right, Lady Ophelina." Thomas thought it was daytime, and they weren't going to sleep.
"I would like to confirm with you the ...... of our cooperation"
"No problem, ma'am, our cooperation is effective."
"Well, thank you very much for your generosity, just a few minutes ago, the leader of the wolf clan, Willstein, called me and asked us to make a trade tomorrow night in exchange for the 'ribs of death' for my daughter's freedom."
Thomas's brow furrowed at this, and he fell silent, he didn't want to watch what was about to happen to him.
"Alright, my lord, I'd like to talk to the werewolves as a representative of the Bloodline, and it's best to ask you to let each other know during the day tomorrow......"
After putting down the phone, Resley watched Thomas's every move, "What are you going to do?" Are you ready to expose yourself? ”
"It doesn't matter."
"What are you going to do if the wolves turn against you and report your whereabouts to the demons? It's too dangerous, you're not only harming the Bloodline, you're harming you and me. Thomas looked at Resley, then out the window.
"No, at least I think that the demon wants to blackmail the wolf clan in order to get his own things, if there is no such bond, the wolf clan and the demon have the heart to fight, why should they help their enemies? Could it be that he has a knack for underestimating the devil more than we do? I think understanding will work. There was a knock on the door, a soft bang, and the people outside the house were worried about whether their haste had disturbed the people inside.
"Come in." Tonis raised his eyes as a warm-faced housekeeper opened the white door and walked in with a package in her hand.
"Hello, Mr. Tonys. Here's an unsigned package that says you received it, I don't know ....... ”
"Oh? Show it to me. The housekeeper put the package on his desk, leaving only his specific address and contact person on it, while the sender only left the words 'YQ-009', which is the meaning of the code, nothing in the eyes of outsiders, and in the eyes of Tonys, it means everything, he looked up and smiled and said to the housekeeper: "Matalia, that's it, the rest of the things will be taken care of, thank you." The housekeeper agreed, ready to turn around and leave the room.
And Tonis called the butler and said, "By the way, Mattalia, dinner is going to be early today, and I will go to the opera with my wife in the evening, it is my favorite "Tosca". ”
Mattalia turned and replied to Tonis with a smile, "Yes, sir, it's ready, the dress is ironed, and you can go out at any time." ”
"Thank you very much. I'll let you know in advance if there's anything. Tonis gave Matalia a satisfied smile, and Maria left the room and gently closed the door.
Tonis looks at the package with his rimless glasses, and after tearing open the outer layer of the package, there is a box with only a "fire hyena" logo on it. He shook the box to see what resembled a book, and he picked up the envelope knife in the pen holder and slowly cut it open, inside was a folder and a USB stick.
He first flipped through the first page of the document with a sticky note on it, which said "", Tonis recognized it at first glance as Perez's handwriting, he continued to look through the contents, he looked very carefully, frowning from time to time. After reading it, he leaned back in his chair, took off his glasses and threw them on the table, he thought for a moment and picked up the phone.
"Hello, I'm Tonys, and I'd like to speak to Mr. Denkel."
An hour later, Tonis arrived at Denkel's residence, where he was ushered into the reception room by the butler, and soon Denker came in and greeted him.
"How? Tonys, are your legs and feet okay? Denkel said as he walked over to the table and took a bottle of whiskey from it.
"It's okay, that's it, there's no progress."
"I said, it's good for us at our age, don't force any progress on your body, and if you stay consistent, you're winning." As he spoke, Denkel handed the glass to Tonys.
"Of course, I agree, although the body is progressing slowly, some things are moving faster than I expected, Mr. Denkel, there is something here, it is an unnatural event that has happened recently, please take a look."
"Come on, Tonys, it's not so much a sign of the spread of evil across the land." Tonis saw that Denkel did not shy away from demons from hell.
"So what should we do?"
"Tonys, everything has its rules of survival, the air, the earth, the sky, and the sea all run according to the established principles, the same is true of heaven and hell, there has been no shortage of careerists and delusional people since ancient times, countless people are trying their best to break the rules, since someone destroys that, someone will maintain it, the contest between light and darkness has never stopped, we live in this world."
"You mean to say that you are ready to betray the demons?"
Denkel looked at Tony in surprise, then let out a laugh, "Betrayal? No, no, no, old man, you misunderstood, our family has always had a contract with the devil, and this contract will last forever, and when it expires depends on the will of 'God'. ”
Denkel spoke to Tonys again.
"I have no reason to betray the demon, the demon has brought me more business opportunities, the wealth of the rich country and the prosperity and prosperity of the family, the condescending position, etc., but you have not yet understood the rules I just said."
As he spoke, Denker took out a red plastic plate from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Tonis, who took the two cipher plates labeled "S-0-18532" and "S-0-17422" and looked at Denker.
"I thought that heaven sent angels to punish people like us, it seems that God should not be free to take care of us, angels must have some major mission or task in the world, their whereabouts have been very hidden, so far the demon and we have basically zero information, this is an opportunity for us, and we have to seize this opportunity, we must find the angel before the devil."
Tonis nodded in understanding, he lifted the cipher board and asked, "What's in here?" ”
"This is an opportunity for me, an opportunity for me to establish the rules, and an opportunity that I have been waiting for all my life, go, Tonys, now you are the most suitable person to carry out this plan, remember that you are now the leader of the independent party, there are many pairs of eyes on me within the group right now, you have to unswervingly fulfill the duties that your family should fulfill, now is the time to take on this responsibility, understand?"
With that, Denkel got up to leave, then pointed to the two cipher plates in front of Tonys.
"Yes, sir, I will." Tonis stood up and bowed like Denkel and waited for Denkel to go out.
Of course, Tonys knew what the family responsibilities were in Denkel's mouth, and his family had always served the Denkel family's master-servant relationship, which had never stopped for generations, and he had to gamble on the family's honor and faith to protect everything the Denkel family, even if it was at the expense of the Denkel family's expectations.
But today Denkel did not convey the instructions as accurately as before, did he not think about everything about this matter, or did he have another purpose? He has been hinting at himself something, and everything that the Denkel family has been on the verge of this danger from the day of its birth to the present day until Louis. The appearance of Denkel found that he was ready to change the old way of the family, he always wanted to change something, he constantly explored new models of survival, business, and resources, and this idea of change has become particularly urgent recently, which makes him even more excited, and no one knows Louis. Denkel is going to lead the family's path somewhere, and I don't know if this will cause the demons to be dissatisfied, which is a very dangerous act.
Tonis thoughtfully returned to his villa, logged into the file server of the group's intranet through a secure line, and copied two files, he looked at the contents of each file, and he suddenly understood Denkel's intentions, and he knew the meaning of all the terms maintenance, rules, and opportunities that Denkel had instilled in him today.
He has an unwavering direction to perform his duties, he hopes that his old bones can hold on, he now needs to find a helper who can cooperate with the inside and outside, with this idea he first thinks of the head of security Riel, but also to avoid the surveillance of Sendersar, Riel is the most suitable person, he picks up the phone, he needs to further test the value of his existence.
