Chapter 255: Counting is Counting

At this moment, in the gloomy basement, an old man with white hair was sitting above with a gloomy face, his eyes were cold, and he was slowly turning the round handle on the chair.

Below him, a group of black-clothed men with masks kneeled in unison, prostrate at his feet respectfully, not daring to come out, quietly waiting for him to speak.

And the man kneeling at the front, dressed slightly differently from the other masked men, was hunched over, his body trembled slightly, and his tone was slightly normal to the white-haired old man.

"Tell the Great Elder, Mo Yue took his men to the Holy Maiden's Mansion to find the Holy Maiden to get back the account book, but he was caught by the Holy Maiden's trick."

"Foolish! It's stupid! How many times have I warned him, don't take the saint lightly, if he doesn't listen, I know that sooner or later he will fall on this heel, look, it's true, I really treat the saint as an ordinary woman, and now, it's good, it's in the hands of others. ”

The Great Elder angrily scolded his subordinates in front of him,

"Great Elder, don't be angry first, now that Mo Yue has fallen into the hands of the Holy Maiden, when will we go to the rescue?"

"Hmph, rescue? What to rescue, this pig-headed thing, what are you doing when you save it? Don't care, let him fend for himself, and now that people are imprisoning him in the Holy Maiden's Mansion, aren't they clearly waiting for us to save him, and then wipe us out? ”

"Yes, yes, Great Elder, you're right, but if we don't save us, will Mo Yue give everything we have?"

The black-masked man who knelt in front of him cautiously spoke out the doubts in his heart.

The Great Elder was stunned and sneered a few times.

"He doesn't have the courage to confess to us, if he betrays me, he will cut off his last way back, all of us lives were on the same boat many years ago, the helmsman of this ship is gone, how can the person who is on the ship continue to survive?"

After hearing this, the black-clothed masked man's body kneeling in front of the Great Elder was obviously stunned, and a trace of coldness quickly flashed in his lowered eyes, and quickly disappeared.

"What the Great Elder said is that we will lose all of our losses and prosper, and Mo Yue will definitely understand this truth and will not talk nonsense."

"Okay, get up, Mo Yue, don't pay attention to this matter, if he can survive in the hands of the saint and wait for us to complete the plan, it will be his life is innumerable, it is his blessing, but, if he doesn't have the life to wait for the day we succeed, it is also his own stupidity, stupid enough to kill himself, I used to always say that he is not as good as Mo Yu, he is still not convinced, and now, he actually did this stupid thing, is he really an idiot to be a saint? Unexpectedly, he took someone to break into someone's lair under the blue sky and daylight, do you think he is going to die? ”

The man in the black mask didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod silently.

Because of the loss of so many right-hand men one after another, no matter how much he advocated health preservation, the Great Elder who didn't get angry easily couldn't help but be angry.

"By the way, did you catch the spy I asked you to investigate?"

A black-clad masked man stood up from the line and walked up to the Great Elder and replied with his fists clenched.

"Back to the Great Elder, is it because the subordinates are incompetent, or they have not been able to find the spy that Mo Yue said, please punish the Great Elder."

"Waste, waste, a group of waste, one or two make me feel uneasy, one went to get the account book, not only did not get it, but was also arrested by others, one is a mole, the investigation has been for so long, there is no news at all, and the other is, obviously the saint is under our noses, but we can't move her, what is the use of what I want you to do?"

In the face of the Great Elder's anger, all the people kneeling below trembled and did not dare to reply.

The black-clothed masked man in the lead also lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to reply, but under the lowered head, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, and his face was full of sarcastic smiles.

Follow the crowd to deal with the wrath of the Great Elder.

"Please let the Great Elder calm his anger!"

Looking at the black relatives in front of him, the Great Elder closed his eyes tiredly, and after calming down the anger in his heart, he slowly opened his eyes and said calmly.

"Now that the situation has become like this, there is no need for us to hide it, Mo Yue doesn't have to worry about it, the main purpose now is to prepare all those boys and girls for me, prepare all the altars for me, and then go directly to arrest the saints and bring them to the altar to start."

"Yes."

The man in black kneeling below replied respectfully.

When the Great Elder, supported by the maidservant, got up and was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, and stopped and asked.

"How many boys and girls are missing?"

"Back to the Great Elder, I have found more than eight hundred so far, and there are still dozens of them left to collect."

A black-clad masked man replied.

"Waste, it's been so long, and it's still so much? I don't care what method you use, you have to find all the people for me within three days, I can't wait, if you can't find it, you all come to see me, hum! ”

After giving the final order, the Great Elder was helped away by the maidservants who were with him.

As soon as the Great Elder left, the people in black all stood up in dejection, shaking their heads helplessly while sighing to themselves.

"The Great Elder will only scold us for being incompetent, and he doesn't want to think about it, Miao Jiang City is so big, it is already very difficult to find these boys and girls in a short period of time, and it is even more difficult to reach the sky if you want to collect them all, besides, so many children have disappeared at once, the people in the city have long been extremely panicked, and those who have children are even more cautious, how can we collect them all in three days?"

A man in black patted him on the shoulder and echoed helplessly.

"Well, what can be done? We've come to this point, we have long had no way back, besides, the Great Elder won't let us turn back, it's a dead end if we can't go back, it's better to gather these boys and girls quickly, in this way, maybe, the Great Elder is in a good mood, and let us live forever together? ”

"Okay, what are you daydreaming, the Great Elder is not for himself, he is also doing this so that Miao Jiang can dominate the world, you are talking behind your back, have you forgotten your beliefs?"

Seeing the two of them talking here, the man in black, who had already walked to the door, turned around and came back to warn the two of them.

"Yes, yes, please don't tell the Great Elder, we're just complaining, let's go do things right away."

"Hmph, you'd better be careful what you say."

"Yes, yes, the subordinates know that they are wrong."

Under the reprimand of the captain of the man in black, the two disgruntled men in black followed the captain in their mouth out of the secret room, while the man in the mask in black who had been standing at the front stood up with a sneer, his eyes could not hide the sarcasm.

But after a while, the sarcastic eyes receded, and only full of worry remained.

After Shen Xianhe caught Mo Yue, he asked Su Nianjun and No. 1 to arrange for his subordinates to protect the entire Holy Maiden Mansion impermeably, and even the places around the Holy Maiden's Mansion, once there was a disturbance, it would attract their attention.

And it has been a day since she made a bet with Mo Yue, and since she found Mo Yue's shortcomings that day, she ordered that the interrogation room be strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to enter the interrogation room except for food and water.

The day after Mo Yue disappeared, while Shen Xianhe was waiting for the first accomplice to get the news and come to the door, Mo Lei and Mo Xue both rushed to the Holy Maiden's Mansion with anxious faces.

When I came to the Holy Maiden's Mansion, the first thing I saw when I saw Shen Xianhe was not to ask about Mo Yue's disappearance, but because in Miaojiang City, there was a recent disappearance of a child, and many people begged to come to them, hoping that they could find out about it, and then help the people find the missing child.

After they took people to investigate, they found nothing, so they came to the Holy Maiden's Mansion and wanted to ask Shen Xianhe to have an idea.

"Holy Maiden, how is this to be? How could so many children suddenly disappear? Mo Xue and I searched everywhere, but we still found it. ”

Seeing the two of them so anxious, it didn't look like they were pretending, especially Morey, who liked to put any emotion on his face, and he looked like he was worried about the country and the people.

And Mo Xue, who has always been hippie and smiling, also put away her usual appearance, extremely upright, followed by a sad face.

As soon as they spoke, Shen Xianhe knew where these children had gone, but she couldn't be sure if the two people in front of her were spies sent by the Great Elder. So, even though she knew very well in her heart where those children went, she had to play dumb with them.

"What do you say? How could this happen? How many children have been lost? Why didn't you tell me about it sooner? ”

"Holy Maiden, it's not that we don't tell you in time, it's just that we, as the Great Elders, after receiving the request of the people, of course, first went to the place where the children disappeared to look for and investigate, so that at least when we tell you, we can also say one, two, three, otherwise, we don't know anything, so we come to tell you, it's too irresponsible."

Seeing that Mo Lei had some grievances to explain, Shen Xianhe was also a little helpless for a while, so he had to slow down his tone a little.

"I didn't mean that, okay, I was also in a hurry, and my tone was a little rushed, but how did you check?"

"Returning to the Holy Maiden, we have searched all the places where the children disappeared, and still found nothing, not even a trace of the clues, this is too strange, and, I heard from the people, they were the first to seek Elder Mo Yue's help, but they went to his mansion and said that he was not there, and besides, he was not there for several days, before Elder Morey and I came, I also went to his mansion to see, and there was really no one, even the people in his mansion did not know where he went?"

Seeing Mo Xue mention Mo Yue, Shen Xianhe's eyes flashed, and then disappeared quickly, raising his eyes to look at Mo Xue with a puzzled expression.

"Really? Why didn't Elder Mo Yue see it? He is the most warm-hearted, such a thing happened in Miaojiang, he was the most angry, could it be that he left Miaojiang for something and didn't tell you? ”

Shen Xianhe also asked suspiciously, but his eyes couldn't stop secretly looking at Mo Lei and Mo Yue in front of him, not letting go of the slightest change in their faces.
