Chapter 246: The Operation Begins
Looking around, I really didn't see anyone, but this was too unusual......
The man in the cloak stood in the middle of the courtyard, feeling if there was any living in his surroundings, but the huge Christon Mansion was actually ......
It seems like......
The man in the cloak sensed the scent of someone in the house behind him.
"Ah, you are...... Who are you? "The old butler Botan was choked by the neck by the cloaked man who suddenly appeared.
"Where have all the people gone? What about Criston? The cloaked man asked.
The old butler struggled to pat the man's pale and cold hand, indicating that he was pinched and could not speak.
The man in the cloak let go of his hand, and the old butler breathed a sigh of relief after a while, and then said.
"The lord had passed away last night, and the lady dismissed the servants and was picked up by the eldest prince and the third lady. I've been working here for 60 years and don't want to leave here. ”
"How can you die? What about corpses? The cloaked man asked.
"Yesterday evening, someone came to look for the master, and then about four o'clock in the morning, the servants heard the cries of the lady, and when they arrived, they saw that the master had vomited blood and died. The doctor who came said that the old man was poisoned, and this poison is also contagious, and if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will be transmitted to other people. So early in the morning, Madame asked the guards of the Central Circle to pick up the old man and then take him to cremation.
The lady said that she could no longer take care of the house, so she dismissed all the servants. ”
"Do you know who came looking for him?"
"I don't know, but when I finally went to bed and passed by the old man's room, I heard him seem to say, 'It's been handed over to him, he is the last hope,' and I didn't listen to it."
was really expected by Liyue, it seems that Christon regretted joining forces, and he was afraid that he would be forced to commit suicide here...... It's better to go back and tell Liyue first, and let him think of another way.
However, before that, we must first make sure that what this old man just said is true.
The man in the cloak grabbed the old butler's forehead, his nails digging deep into his skull, and the old butler struggled a few times, and then lowered his hands......
Before leaving, the cloaked man threw an incendiary bomb at the house, and in an instant the empty Criston house was engulfed in flames.
Fifth Circle of Protection
"Why did you come back so soon? What about things?
……
It seems that the old guy has changed his mind? Although Liyue couldn't see the cloaked man's expression, she could guess what was going on.
"Kriston is dead."
"Why did you kill him? It's useful to keep him! ”
"It's not me!"
"Not you? Hahahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, then you tell me how he died? ”
"When I went, only the old housekeeper of their house was there, saying that he died last night, the cause of death was poisoning, and the body had been taken away by the army of the Central Circle and cremated. I also confirmed.
What are you going to do next? ”
"It's a bit tricky...... Because only the three kings know where the 'master control brains' of the last two walls are, even if Christon told others before he died, we don't know who he told now? He will not tell his relatives either, thinking that he also knows that once he dies, our target will definitely shift to his relatives.
In this way, you go and ask a few of his children for me, and use some means if necessary, and I will take a look at the managers under the Three Kings of the Central Circle......
By the way, aren't you free to come and go? Wouldn't it be better if you just led people into the Central Circle? ”
"No, I can't. There is no way to carry anyone else at my door, and ...... There is no way for my door to open directly on the five walls of the central circle. It should be a deliberate restriction imposed by that person. ”
"Mine too, where I haven't been, there's no way to open the door directly. What the hell is that little princess thinking? ”
"If all the weapons in your hand are aimed at the three walls, are you sure?"
"Half of it."
"Can't wait any longer, time is running out......"
"Well, at least five and four walls can be destroyed. In this way, you go and prepare, while the three kings are not there now, and the central circle is chaotic, tomorrow at 4:30 p.m., I will first open the eight doors of the five walls, and close the sky cover above, and open the eight doors at the same time, so that the people guarding the walls will not know where we are coming from.
You spread out your army, with the main assault team at the northeast gate. The alien team is advanced, and the mechanical team is second, don't stay inside the wall, because the five walls are deserts, so you shouldn't encounter too much resistance, remember not to destroy the independent 'central brain' of the five walls, keep it for later use.
If it goes well, you should be able to reach the outside of the four walls around the morning, after receiving the news of the five walls, the four walls should increase the defense, after you arrive, notify me, I will turn off my brain again, open the sky cover, and hit the four walls by surprise, if you can enter the four walls, you only need to do one thing, which is to set fire to the oil fields inside the four walls. ”
"You don't want to die." The man in the cloak said after listening to Liyue's plan.
"I'll give you back the original words. The only one who can kill me now is Zero, who doesn't know where, but he's out of power, and there's nothing to fear, it's you. ”
Sixth Circle of Protection
"How so?" Xerdono sighed.
"I also told you all about the Three Kings, to be honest, before I came to you, I just came from the Eight Circles, and the Eight Circles chose to be silent, and the Six Circles side, what are you going to do? That's why you asked me to come, right? Ling asked.
"Indeed, I asked Kate to invite you, first, to know the real cause of the death of the three kings, and second, to know your thoughts. Now that everything is on the table, the lives of all the people who live within my six circles are in my hands, and I have to think about them.
If I survive the six laps, I am willing to do my part after the situation calms down, but if the safety of the people of my six laps is threatened, then there is no way for me to remain silent. ”
"That's nature."
"What about you?" Serdono asked.
"Although Criston handed over the 'brains' of the Central Circle to me and explained my position to the other administrators of the Central Circle, I cannot make my actions public at the moment.
The first thing now is to get to the bottom of what is really going on.
And judging from the attacks on the third and second circles at that time, with the strength of those rebels, it was not easy to break through the five walls of the central circle.
And from the establishment of the first world government to the present, every year, the five walls of the central circle will be well maintained, in the early years, I also served as an overseer, but after my rights were weakened, I was not involved, this matter, only the 'three kings' knew, so if the five walls of the central circle by external force, there is no way to easily destroy.
The size and composition of the rebel army is still unknown, but once confirmed, it should not be difficult to defeat the rebel army from the inside with the force of the Central Circle and the assistance of the Hunters' Association. ”
"I'm afraid that the Hunters' Guild will ......," Serdono was a little worried.
"If the situation develops to the point where it is out of control, the association headquarters will also weigh the pros and cons. The guy in Heloy Setton, as far as I know him, is still very important. ”
"Are you all on his side?" Xerdono asked Zhuge Xun and Kate.
"Of course, Xiao Lingling is my most important person, of course I will help him!"
Zhuge Xun just nodded.
"Then I'll buy an 'insurance'. If you need my help, I'll do my best, but if something happens to me on lap six, you'll have to help. ”
"Of course."
The Pavilion of the Red Moon
Hongyue, who was still sorting out items at the gift shop, sensed the arrival of a visitor. Putting down the things in her hand, Hongyue changed into a dress and went out to the lake.
"Miss Red Moon, you're here." The man in the cloak greets the red moon.
"What? Didn't you say you wouldn't come to me again? "Red Moon didn't have any expression.
"That person ......"
"The gears are still turning, and there are some things that can't be changed."
"We're going to get ready for action."
"Yes."
"Miss Red Moon, what exactly is your purpose, can we help you?"
"I'm just the owner of the Red Moon Pavilion."
After that, the two did not speak again, just quietly looked at the lake......
"It's almost time, it's time for me to go. That person and Liyue will trouble Miss Hongyue to take care of it. ”
"Hmm."
The cloaked man opens the door and returns to the fifth circle.
"It's finally getting started...... This time it will definitely be ......"
Red Moon looked back at the Red Moon Pavilion behind her.
