Chapter 8 There's Always a Trap
Song Yizhou obviously has a bit of potential as a dog-headed military advisor, at least his incitement ability is still relatively strong. After some preaching by him, these 'thugs' cultivated by Xuanyuan's descendants finally got rid of the ignorant low-level taste of "pure violence", and began to put themselves in their own shoes, considering their future welfare. However, blindly advocating glory and dedication, this kind of behavior similar to religious brainwashing is also condemnable, so everyone should not say to each other.
As soon as the mind was emancipated, the whining came out immediately. Li Xiao was the first to say: "Our Northern Regions detachment is not raised by the stepmother, oh, just because of a fair and strict leader, he will make things difficult everywhere and retaliate, is this in the past?" ”
"I thought it was about paying attention to us! Now it seems that there are indeed some ill-intentioned intentions! Lu Fei sighed, thinking about the people who died one after another because of this mission, he was really a little sad.
"Team Han, you have to talk to Qin Tou'er, if it is indeed like what Mr. Song said, it will be too worthless for us to send us to death so stupidly." Ren Zhengcheng also expressed his opinion.
"Xing Juan, what do you think?" Han Xiaolu waited for a while, and saw that Xing Juan didn't mean to express her position, so she took the initiative to ask.
Xing Juan glanced at Luo Ling before saying, "I think that we take the execution of orders as our duty, and if it involves politics, we should leave it to the top to deal with." Qin Qing was convinced and believed that she could handle things well. Now I just don't know if she knows enough about this! ”
Han Xiaolu nodded, "I agree with Xing Juan's statement, but before making a decision, I still want to hear your opinion." Han Xiaolu looked at Song Yizhou, and there was obviously closeness in her wording and tone.
"If it were me, I would choose to go back to base."
"Oh?"
"To put it mildly, as a commander, you must not only lead the deployment to win victory, but also have the courage to choose to retreat and preserve your strength when you know you can't do it."
"Hmmm! Keep talking! Han Xiaolu encouraged.
"Now the situation is far beyond our ability to solve. Those monsters know how to cut off the power and then sneak attack, and the electricity is so just right, Luo Ling was just about to start blaspheming the demons, and the electricity was cut off. This shows that the attacker and the distant pull of the electric switch echo each other. So, we deduced two possibilities: first, those monsters are smart enough and have a high IQ themselves, and the one who pulls the electric switch is the one who will fight Luo Ling in the end. Second, these two monsters are released by a certain manipulator, and this operator is likely to be a human or a demon. ”
Everyone nodded.
Taking out a bottle of mineral water from the space ring and taking a few sips, Song Yizhou continued: "No matter what the situation is, it is enough to prove the strength of our enemy. Bring back the corpses of those monsters, what kind of laboratory and laboratory, naturally we can identify their ability and combat power, and prove that we have indeed tried our best. It can't be an abyssal lord-level monster on the other side, so let's rush up too, right? That's not bravery, that's death! Moreover, another purpose of going back is that you can talk to Qin Qing in private, so that she can sober up, this kind of thing is not talked about on the radio, I believe that most of you here are also very forgetful, and they will not mention this in the future. But everyone has eyes, and they can still see how the superior chooses. ”
Lu Fei and a few of them nodded, and Song Yizhou said it to their hearts. Doing it with Qin Qing is that everyone is convinced of Qin Qing, but if you blindly let these loyal subordinates die, it will be too chilling. After all, fighting for one's homeland, fighting for one's loved ones, and being a victim of someone else's political struggle are two completely different concepts.
"What if you don't choose to retreat?" Han Xiaolu asked again.
Song Yizhou pursed his lips, "Then you can coerce and lure Luo Ling!" From my personal point of view, the road has come here, we may be played to death at any time, in fact, it has become a burden, Luo Ling said to continue to keep Tang Seng to learn the scriptures, then we will continue to climb the flame mountain and cross the quicksand river. ”
"Coercion and temptation, this word is not good!" Han Xiaolu frowned and said, "What about you?" Mr. Song, don't you want to save your teacher? ”
"Don't!" Song Yizhou hurriedly waved his hand: "Team Han, it's come to this point, do you still expect to trap Luo Ling with me?" It's just that Luo Ling doesn't say it, I'm embarrassed myself! Be! As a teacher for one day and a father for life, we can't be without conscience. But I have to be filial and supportive, so I shouldn't have a conscience about them? When I die, do I really let their orphans and widows live on the streets? ”
Han Xiaolu didn't expect Song Yizhou to say so directly, and she looked embarrassed when she heard it.
"Is it so exaggerated that there are old and young?" Xing Juan broke the siege in time.
"I'm not just a metaphor! Asking Luo Ling to come out may be able to do this, but it's a bit inappropriate to talk about my friendship with Luo Ling. Personal friendship is personal friendship, Luo Ling is not a descendant of Xuanyuan, people have no obligations! What kind of monsters we encountered, everyone has experienced it firsthand. You see that the tentacles are as fast as a sewing machine needle, an instant kaleidoscope, and they are still spitting when they are dying, and it is not easy to deal with whoever comes, right? It's not stepping on ants! With the ability to pull people into the shadow plane, isn't that the same as encountering a shark in the water? That's three, what if five next time? Who's good at fighting in the Shadow Plane? Can I still get out if I go in? Wouldn't I be good for everyone? ”
"Then I'll send a retreat request to the temporary headquarters on the grounds that the monsters are strong!" Han Xiaolu said a little embarrassed.
Song Yizhou shook his head and sighed: "The generals are outside, and the military life is not affected!" You just cut it first and then play it, and with that evidence, they can't do anything to you! The best result of your request is to wait for backup! I really don't know if you're greedy for merit, or if you're concerned about anything! Woman...... "Song Yizhou endured and endured, so he didn't say 'long hair, short knowledge, and the kindness of a woman'."
"I ......" Han Xiaolu muttered a few words in a small voice that only she could hear, as if she was in a state of distress.
"Alas...... Do not say! Take an early lunch break and get some sleep! Song Yizhou was in an unhappy mood and became petty. Seeing this, Lu Fei and the others also dispersed helplessly, lying on the sofa and laying on the floor, each thinking about their own thoughts, and no one was cooking.
Luo Ling stood up, put on his armor, and said, "Whose space ring lends me?" I'm going to collect the corpses, those are now evidence, it's better not to lose them! ”
Everyone thought about it, what Luo Ling said made sense, and it was indeed the most suitable for him to go. Han Xiaolu took off her space ring and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" "The situation is stronger than people, Luo Ling's attitude is very important now, and the arrogant Thunder Fire Elite also has to show some respect.
Nodding silently, snap! Luo Ling put on a helmet and covered his face that could not see joy or sorrow......
Acting alone, there is not so much to consider, Luo Ling's speed is very fast, and he is familiar with the road, and he arrived at the scene in about ten minutes.
Under the flickering light, the corpse of the monster lay there quietly, and the slight humming of the fluorescent tubes could be heard very clearly. The long passage was empty, and there was an oppressive atmosphere.
Luo Ling didn't touch the corpses, but stood in the center of the room like a guarded leopard, facing the maintenance passage in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Come out!" ”
On the maintenance passage, the space was distorted, and a door that was sunken inward slowly opened, and behind the door was a world of lead ash, which seemed to have great suction, and the light and air around it were surging inward, but not in all directions, but along the edge of the door, as if falling into the abyss.
A man dressed as a European aristocrat at the end of the 18th century walked out of the door, wearing black breeches, reddish-brown buckskin boots, a black waistcoat with silver buttons, a gold pocket watch chain, a white silk shirt, a purple silk scarf tied around his neck, a dark green shirt with silver trim, and a black tweed shirt with large collar and sleeves.
Black eyes, black hair, but the face is more European, the skin is fair enough, about early thirties, the beard is very clean, and some curly hair is combed more properly, and it can even be said that it is oily and smooth.
The appearance is very ordinary, not handsome, and in no way ugly, the eyes are bright and clear, and there is a gentleman's smile on the face, faint, very natural.
"Himit, I've been waiting for you." The man spoke, and his voice was thick and gave the impression of calmness.
"I've never used that name!"
"But that's your name, you know. Unless ......"
"My name is Luo Ling." Luo Ling interrupted.
For Luo Ling's stubbornness, the man just shook his head lightly and smiled. "Yes, in this life, your name is indeed Luo Ling, but you are also Himit, because you are one of the inheritors, although the bloodline only accounts for a small part, but after all, you have awakened."
"Cut!" Luo Ling scoffed.
"Is it necessary to appear so rebellious? Essence is the true identity, and we only associate with the most authentic part, which is a rule that many higher worlds will not change. ”
"I don't know you, you didn't come to change my name, did you?"
"What are you trying to hide with your extreme and resentful attitude? We can see the essence, we can read the truth, do you think the name Himitt was inquired about? The man finally showed a little majesty.
Silent, staring at each other, it was still clear and bright, and Luo Ling didn't find a trace of fluctuation from it. Changed to a calm tone, Luo Ling said lightly: "Let's talk about things!" ”
The man laughed again. "We've been watching you, and we haven't stopped since you woke up."
"Hmmm! I know! You're boring, and I can't do anything about you! ”
The man continued, "'But one day it will be!'" These are unspoken words. ”
Shrugging, Luo Ling acknowledged.
"Yes! There may come a time when you will not only be able to prevent others from prying eyes on your soul, but you may even be strong enough to fight us. Of course, it's just a possibility, a very, very small possibility. ”
"So you're here to taunt me!"
"No, that's not fun at all. I'm here to send you something. The man said, and with a flick of his right hand, a cluster of silver light flew in an arc. Luo Ling caught it with his hand and saw that it was something the thickness and length of a little finger, and it was very heavy to touch, but he couldn't tell what substance it was, because its surface was wrapped in a thick and flowing layer of mercury-like light.
"What?"
"Key, partial!"
"What about the other part? Where is the lock? Listening to Luo Ling's words, it is obvious that this is not the first time that such a similar incident has been encountered.
"You'll find it."
"Why did you give it to me this time?"
"We don't want to see you die too soon."
"Are you betting on horses?"
"We're just making it a little more fun."
"What if I don't cooperate?"
"Whatever you want, I'm just here to create a possibility. After all, no one has yet mastered the supreme law - fate! No one knows if you succeed or fail in the end. ”
Nodding, "Don't let me notice the next voyeurism, because that will keep me from re-engaging in my ungrateful acting career for a long time." ”
The man's unchanged expression finally changed. He smiled and said, "This is Himit......"
The man just left, Luo Ling didn't ask who he was? And where did it come from? The other party didn't say anything.
Similar people, Luo Ling is not the first time he has seen them, and he believes that it will not be the last.
What exactly are their identities? Of course Luo Ling is interested in knowing, but it is not strong, he has seen too many incredible, he will no longer be as panicked as he was at the beginning, he has become very good at waiting, some things, when the time comes, everything will naturally be known. It's as if these people appear, and whenever he comes to a very important fork in the road, these people will give him some clues to guide.
Facts have proved that following this kind of guidance is rational, correct, and in line with one's own needs, otherwise, there will be a lot of detours, even a dead end, that kind of feeling of nine deaths, Luo Ling has tried more than once, of course he knows how expensive the price of rebellion is.
As Song Yizhou said: no matter how young you are, there is no extra life to squander. Just as the man just said: fate is the supreme law of everything! No matter whether you choose positive or negative, you can't get rid of its shackles.
Fate is not a pessimistic compromise, but a law, and what is the truth of this law? It seems that from the source of all things, many ordinary, great, and even immortal beings are searching, but so far no one has been heard of success.
