Chapter Twenty-Eight: Showing the Cards

Yang Chong and a few people appeared in the small village next to the post station, back mountain.

"That's it, but what are you doing with fireworks?" Zuo Nan threw away the quiver casually, turned his head and saw Shen Yishu with Yang Chong's face on his head, and couldn't help but say, "You better change your face back, don't be awkward." ”

Shen Yishu, who was thinking, heard that he had changed back to the ordinary face he had when he appeared, and he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.

Zuo Nan's mission was the most unclear one he had experienced, and seeing that the other party didn't say to leave, he asked in his heart: "I have a bunch of questions I want to ask." ”

Shen Yishu nodded: "Say." ”

Zuo Nan immediately spoke: "That ninja evolver is dead, why is Yang Chong still there, an extra task?" ”

Shen Yishu shook his head: "No." ”

Zuo Nan saw that Shen Yishu didn't answer the previous question, and asked again: "Then why did you stay there?" ”

Shen Yishu said, "Who do you think is that ninja evolver?" ”

Zuo Nan wanted to say that it was the clerk who delivered the meal, but when the words came to his lips, Zuo Nan stopped, following Yang Chong and Shen Yishu for so long, although some things were suddenly unexpected, if you think about it carefully, it really makes people wonder. Looking at Shen Yishu, who had a flat expression, Zuo Nan was a little abrupt: "The clerk is not a ninja evolutionary, if so, how could Yang Chong not see it, and the three of us have been together since the shrine, Yang Chong was squatting before, how could he have the kung fu to eat, he doesn't have this hobby, but if the clerk is not a ninja evolver, then who called him?" ”

Zuo Nan said to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It's not Yang Chong who called it, it's the real ninja evolver who called it!" Zuo Nan saw Shen Yishu nodding, because he actually guessed correctly once, he was quite excited, but he quickly smiled and was a little puzzled: "Since it is not the person Yang Chong found, why did you let him in, isn't this giving him a chance?" ”

Shen Yishu shook his head: "Give him a chance?" Everything is relative, and if he is allowed to come in, and put it in our eyes, isn't it also better to monitor this unstable factor. ”

Zuo Nan nodded, but was stunned for a moment: "A clerk is some kind of instability, and then he died at the hands of a few waiters at will." ”

Shen Yishu asked rhetorically, "Did you know that he wasn't a ninja evolver?" Now that he is dead, I know that he is not, and you are far inferior to Yang Chong in this. Seeing Zuo Nan rolling his eyes, Shen Yishu also knew that his words were redundant, and everyone knew this, with the matter resolved at this time, Shen Yishu said lightly: "In this way, you start to recall what you saw before, and I will answer the questions in your heart." ”

Hearing Shen Yishu's words, Zuo Nan also heard that the other party's tone was a lot more relaxed.

Recalling it in his heart, Zuo Nan said: "After first appearing in the town, the first time we met, because Yang Chong provoked others, we met the swordsman who came to find fault, killed him, and then the feudal lord came with a large number of subordinates. ”

Shen Yishu shook his head: "Wrong, I'm talking about the beginning." ”

"Start? Isn't it the beginning that is going further? Zuo Nan frowned, and asked tentatively: "At the beginning, it was before, could it be that the one who used the knife was on our way to the town with the locals, and he wanted to hit Yang Chong's leg on the way, but Yang Chong broke the scabbard with his moves?" ”

Shen Yishu shook his head again: "What I have said is obvious, at the beginning, it is natural that we have changed our faces with nano faces in the cabin, and we are waiting for the time to come, from the moment when we are released into this world by the space-time center, it is the beginning." ”

"What was there at that time, the three of us went to the post station to sit down to eat and drink, and met a girl who happened to pass by, and asked her to lead the way, what else happened in between?" The more Zuo Nan said, the more sure he became.

Although Shen Yishu didn't answer, staring at Zuo Nan's gaze made him feel very unhappy, just like a person who didn't know anything was bragging in front of a professional counterpart theoretical scientist and saying "As soon as the fuel is burned below, the spacecraft will go to outer space, everything is as simple as that".

When Zuo Nan was stared at by Shen Yishu and couldn't speak, Shen Yishu said: "From the beginning, have you thought about these questions. ”

Zuo Nan asked, "What?" ”

Shen Yishu stretched out his fingers one by one and said, "First, are there any other evolutionaries besides us in this mission. Second, if there are other evolutionaries, whether they are friendly or hostile. Third, if there are other evolutionaries, whether they came in earlier than us or behind us. ”

Zuo Nan was puzzled and asked, "What does it matter with these?" ”

"Yes!" Shen Yishu nodded heavily: "It's not just a relationship, it's a very big relationship, remember the last mission, we went to blow up the arsenal here, sneaked in and did things secretly, there's nothing to say." But you should always remember what Yang Chong said, he said that when he first passed, the ninja evolver was already next to an abandoned house, and then we summarized according to the experience, he, a person, had already appeared there, and there was an eighty percent chance that he should be the culprit who released a fireball to blow up the car. ”

"We didn't appear for more than ten minutes, and the fireball landed immediately, what is the clue from the dead ninja at the scene, this car has long been targeted, and the fireball is also released by a special giant iron cannon, you don't have to think about it, let me tell you the answer directly, he entered at least a few hours earlier than us, or even a few days, ten days, why? If you were a battlefield commander, would you hand over such a secret task to someone you don't know? ”

Dumbfounded by Shen Yishu's words, Zuo Nan could only shake his head and say, "No." ”

Shen Yishu said as a matter of course: "Since you can't do it, why do those people do?" ”

Zuo Nan's face was flushed for a while, thinking that Shen Yishu always spoke unclear words with Yang Chong in the past, as if everyone knew it, Zuo Nan suddenly began to think about why Yang Chong was not around, this Shen Yishu's deliberately ruthless and bad character made Zuo Nan unbearable.

Seeing Zuo Nan's appearance, Shen Yishu said, "Okay, you can continue." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Nan rolled his eyes: "What else do I say, just tell me." ”

Shen Yishu was not polite, nodded and said, "Very good, I'll tell you, you listened carefully." ”

"Since we arrived, the mission has added a time limit, and according to the style of the space-time center, this limit is likely to be due to what the ninja evolver hiding in the shadows did, and the alien will appear three days later. After combining the information, from the information in the hands of the ninja leader Ichinomiya, someone tricked the priest of the shrine into doing so, and handed the priest a juvenile body of aliens, and our task was only arranged for a deadline of three days. ”

"Stop!" Zuo Nan didn't understand: "Why is the time delayed?" ”

"If the juvenile body of the xenomorph should have been released a long time ago, and by the time we arrived, it happened to have enough nutrients to start wreaking havoc somewhere, do we need to find the xenomorph in three days?" Shen Yishu said this, and his tone was affirmative: "It must be another evolutionary who is doing tricks, he is also familiar with the style of the space-time center, and boldly captured the alien juvenile and handed it over to the priest, but when our mission was involved in the back, the Predator was later taken away by us in front of the shrine, and they later released the other one for their coming-of-age ceremony." ”

"Impossible, how smart does an evolutionary have to be to plan so many things?" Zuo Nan's head was a little dizzy, this layout technique sounded simply amazing!

"Possibly, how impossible, the question is time, and the boldness of the implementer." Shen Yishu simply admitted: "If Yang Chong had the courage to do this, he wouldn't think about it so much, and even if I had this consideration, I wouldn't have come up with such an unstable factor to gamble, unless, the gains in the future can make people take risks." ”

"Harvest?!" Zuo Nan came to his senses when he heard these two words: "The harvest you are talking about, is it the armor worn by the Predator?" The information says that this is the prototype of the armament and the suit, if you do it in advance, it will attract two Predators to put on a powder and kill array, as long as there are enough manpower, no, there are already manpower, only need to use the people of the feudal lord, and we and himself, the two Predators will not ......"

Zuo Nan was guided by Shen Yishu to think about the topic, and his voice gradually became smaller as he spoke, and there was even a sense of horror in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "You mean that this person calculated on us because of these?" ”

Shen Yishu nodded: "You finally understand some truths, but the process of his calculation of us is what is frightening." ”

Zuo Nan thought that the task was now completed inexplicably, but if the consequences were really calculated, he was a little panicked: "!" How the hell did he do it, you hurry up, I don't want to see nothing clearly the next time I run into him. ”

"So let's go on, what we just said is just the tip of the iceberg that was revealed at the beginning of the mission." Shen Yishu said with some admiration: "With these, we can guess that the time for this evolutionary to enter here is definitely not short, just as the planet where we and Luo Wu fought for the first time had time to decide whether to participate or grab the potion, this hidden evolutionary took the time he had to the extreme."

"I suspect that he has been planning those since the beginning, such as the post station where we settled, it is very likely that he has already relied on his ability to infiltrate Ichinomiya's side, and arranged for his men to take the lead in ambushing several post stations around, and it doesn't take much to prepare some poison, or the introduction of poison......"

"Wait!" Zuo Nan raised his hand and asked, "Since you want to use us, why do you want to poison us?" ”

"Poisoning doesn't have to kill us right away, isn't it more useful to poison the slow-sex-poison-poison or the poison that volatilizes when it encounters something else, at the critical moment when you finally snatch the Predator's armor?" Shen Yishu must have thought of the martial arts novels he often read when he saw Zuo Nan and knew what he meant, and continued: "So later, Yang Chong and I saw you take out the nutritious meal that you didn't finish at that time, and when we thought of this, we simply stopped being afraid, but took an antidote at a critical moment to respond to all changes. ”

"But from the moment we came out of the inn, I began to wonder if there were many coincidences in the world, or if everything was calculated by man." Shen Yishu saw that Zuo Nan didn't understand, and said in a bad tone: "Next is the terrifying place of the layouter." ”

"He must know that the local swordsmen are all flying and domineering, and he expects that we have just come here, and we will not easily show our strength, under the pretext of making a few swordsmen who are not strong or weak, just one hundred and forty percent of the swordsmen returned, and at night, these people who were in a hurry happened to meet us, how could the evolutionaries easily salute respectfully like passers-by, and they must have a conflict with these people."

"Wait, what's so scary about this." Zuo Nan raised his hand again and said, "What if we are in a hurry? What if we don't go this way and the other way? What if the person who was looking for the trouble and the eyewitness were killed on the spot? ”

"You're right, but have you thought of anything more?" Shen Yishu said: "That person has time to stay in the local area for so long, if he is told by the space-time center how long will he have any tasks in the future, does he think that there will be an evolutionary coming based on experience?" If he thinks that the person who came is us, can't he take advantage of the locals? ”

"Just like Ichinomiya is also the daughter of the owner of the Yuxia Pavilion, the people in the inn must be good at talking, the local economy is depressed, and the trade is really shabby, so there are no ingredients, these people must go to the mountain village to receive the goods in person, so kind and curious about many things and good at talking, Xiaoxia, is it difficult to be guided by the other party to the vicinity of the post station?"

"With this person, we will definitely be curious or grasp the clues, and first go to the nearest place to investigate, and from this time we have been in the game. Since we are walking with this girl with a low vitality index, how can we hurry quickly? The other party walks along the official road, and we will definitely follow, so when the swordsmen who come back from behind arrive, we will definitely have a conflict with these people. As for us killing them? That's better, when we go back, he will definitely find an excuse if he can't wait for someone, and when you can't find Huajie at night and come back to sleep depressed, go straight to the door! ”

Hearing the murderous intent contained in this first step, Zuo Nan was already a little numb, and muttered: "How can you think of so much, is this still a person?" ”

"Of course he is a human, or a very smart madman, I suspect that he is the ninja evolver who was with Yang Chong last time, after understanding Yang Chong's character, he designed these, and did not give us time to react the next morning, and when the swordsman came to the door, Yang Chong must do it, and as a result, we came together with the feudal lord in a daze." Shen Yishu's eyes flickered as he spoke.

"It's really amazing, I hurriedly asked the feudal lord and a waiter beside him who had jumped once at the same level as us to come, and didn't call all the people. This is his terrifying side, which makes us feel that there are not too many strong people around the domain lord, thinking that we can use the domain lord, but after seeing such a big place in the courtyard, we are surprised how there is only one strong man by the side of the domain lord, and when we have this thought, we don't feel surprised when we see the other two real people who have jumped from the waiter level. ”

"He calculated every step, and he counted it to death, when we rushed there, of course the feudal lord wanted us to do it, the manager of a place, even if he didn't have strong strength, should have basic wisdom, test us and let us help him solve a hidden danger."

"Hidden dangers?" Zuo Nan was stunned for a moment, thinking of his subsequent experience, and immediately nodded: "It's the one who stole his things, right?" ”

"Hmph, if the ninja of Ichinomiya is caught stealing, he won't react as much as when Yang Chong reveals that the lord said that he stole things, and he has to find the traitor who framed him, which is also expected, it must be the evolutionary hidden in the shadows who is calculating him!" Shen Yishu's tone was categorical, and he was extremely sure: "That crazy evolutionary gave the shrine priest an alien juvenile body, calculated the palace of Ichi, and lurked beside him, but in person Yang Chong made a good choice a few times. ”

"Choice? How did I not know? "Zuo Nan is a little dizzy, isn't the shrine just a Predator coming, how can there be a choice, escape or something else?

"Ichinomiya has two henchmen around him, one is innocent, and the other is an evolutionary, or should I say his companion." Shen Yishu said coldly: "At the beginning, if Yang Chong's character was followed, he must have pointed out that the evolutionary, even if the Ichinomiya couldn't be killed, let us do it together, but at this time, the Predator appeared, Yang Chong was afraid that we wouldn't be able to fight the Predator, and he was also worried that the more powerful evolutionary hidden in the shadows could only let the Ichinomiya kill the innocent, but left another evolutionary behind." ”

"He's an evolutionary?" Zuo Nan asked, hearing Shen Yishu say that the evolutionary was holding an alloy short knife that only existed on the space-time center or other high-tech planets, and then he suddenly realized. However, Zuo Nan had other questions: "If the Predator doesn't appear, Yang Chong will do it, how to deal with this?" ”

"I hope that's just my guess next, and if it's true, then he's horrible." Shen Yishu said: "The Predator probably put the alien juvenile body before, but it suddenly disappeared, and the shrine reappeared, and the Predator came to the door either suspiciously or according to the clues, and jointly created the scene where the Predator appeared in the shrine at the beginning." ”

Zuo Nan shook his head when he heard this: "I hope it's speculation and coincidence." ”

Shen Yishu continued: "But here he is still not over, in addition to this evolutionary, the evolutionary of the layout also used a very ingenious technique, when we went down the mountain, he went down in advance in the dark and knocked over the housekeeper, making us think that at that time, the coincidence that happened to the housekeeper, eight out of ten is the evolutionary, let us turn our eyes away, no, it's not us, it's to let Yang Chong's kind of person's gaze turn over." ”

"I don't want to hear it." When Zuo Nan heard this, his face was very bitter, and he felt that he was like a mentally retarded person in this mission, even Yang Chong and Shen Yishu were calculated, and there were so many secret games between the two sides, he didn't know at all, Zuo Nan just wanted to return and get a good night's sleep.

"No, if you don't want to be calculated to death by this kind of person in the future, you need to use your brain more." Shen Yishu continued: "After we go, according to Yang Chong's idea of putting the instability in front of him, he asked the person serving the tea to attract our attention, and then the Predator came to the door, and we went back and forth to delay the time to arrange the flour array, and this is when he began to show his fangs." ”
