Chapter 55: Joining forces
After entering the room where I slept, Mr. Kobayashi sat down in the boss's chair behind the desk, and I sat on the edge of the bed.
I took a closer look and confirmed that there was no one outside, and the eldest grandson Wuwu should not be in this room either.
I looked at Mr. Kobayashi and said, "Now you can start." ”
Mr. Kobayashi opened his mouth, but he stopped talking, as if he didn't know where to start.
"You're going to tell me about that mysterious man in black, right?" I say.
Mr. Kobayashi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face again, and said, "It's really easier to talk to smart people. But that's what I'm going to tell you. ”
Obviously, Mr. Kobayashi also knew the details of Pan Jinzhong and Pan Jinquan's murder of Lin Heping and his wife. The mysterious man in black must have also aroused Mr. Kobayashi's fear and vigilance. Judging by his posture, it is very likely that he wants to join forces with me to deal with that terrifying mysterious man in black.
To tell you the truth, Mr. Kobayashi thought of a place with me. If he hadn't spoken up first, I might have brought it up and discussed it with him later.
Mr. Kobayashi is certainly not a good person, and he also has his own obsessions, but he just wants to resurrect Emperor Jianwen and govern the world in his own way. In the final analysis, he is still a person with ideals, ambitions and morals, and he will not kill innocents too indiscriminately and miserably destroy lives.
But the mysterious man in black was different. From Pan Jinzhong's simple description alone, I couldn't help but feel a chill and fear from the bottom of my heart.
I only heard Mr. Kobayashi continue: "Seriously speaking, we didn't win this second game. Because the real mastermind of this matter should be the mysterious person in black. But neither you nor I know anything about that mysterious man in black right now. ”
I groaned and said, "You've been a ghost for hundreds of years, and of course the things in the underworld are more familiar than I am. Don't you even have any clues? ”
"Nope." Mr. Kobayashi's face was solemn, and he shook his head and said, "I have never heard of people eating ghosts before. But...... I've seen it once......"
"You've seen it?" I hurriedly asked, "When?" In what place? What kind of person is that? ”
Mr. Kobayashi smiled reluctantly and said, "That person is you." ”
"Me?" I can't remember when I've ever done something like this.
Mr. Kobayashi said: "On the mountain road outside Qin Taotian's house, I saw with my own eyes that you devoured that Liu Zhengyang, who is actually the real Yang Shouzheng, alive. You were in a rampage at the time, and you probably don't have much of an impression now. And what I saw with my own eyes at the time was naturally shocking. That's when I decided I wanted you to join my business. ”
"You say...... Say I'm too...... It is also to grasp a living soul with your hands...... Past...... Stuff it in your mouth?! "The thought of that made me tremble with fear.
I actually did that kind of terrible thing myself!
"But after my observation, after all, your cultivation is too shallow, and you can't control your ability freely, and in most cases, you are basically similar to an ordinary person." Mr. Kobayashi didn't answer my question, but it was clear that he had acquiesced.
I heard a buzzing sound in my head, but I couldn't hear Mr. Kobayashi say.
"Mr. Knife, Mr. Knife......" Mr. Kobayashi said to himself for a long time, only to realize that I was not distracted at all, so he called me a few times.
Only then did I react and hurriedly said, "I'll listen, you can continue." ”
Mr. Kobayashi looked at me worriedly and did not speak.
I forced a smile and said, "I was really scared of myself just now, but now it's fine." You asked me to talk alone, do you want to join forces with me to deal with that mysterious man in black? ”
Mr. Kobayashi nodded and said, "Yes." To be honest, I now feel like we've both fallen into someone else's trap, as if we've been led by the nose all along, and everything is in someone else's plan. ”
"Why do you feel this way?" I say.
"It's just a gut feeling, I can't say why." Mr. Kobayashi said, "Have you ever thought about a question? Isn't it too easy for us to catch Pan Jinzhong and Pan Jinquan this time, and quickly solve the murder of Lin Heping and his wife? Moreover, the mysterious man in black was exposed. ”
I groaned and said, "Do you mean that with the ability of a mysterious man in black, if he has a heart, it is impossible for us to find Pan Jinzhong and Pan Jinquan so easily?" Is it even more impossible to expose yourself so easily? ”
Mr. Kobayashi nodded.
"That is, he deliberately exposed himself?" The feeling of fear hit me again, and I had to clench my fists to make myself tremble, "What is he for?" ”
Mr. Kobayashi said, "That's exactly what I'm thinking. ”
After a pause, Mr. Kobayashi continued this time: "All in all, there is a powerful person that we can't understand now, and if we are not careful, both of us will fall into a situation from which we will never recover. Whether we can deal with him or not, neither of us has a bottom in our hearts. For now, only the two of us can join forces, and maybe there will be a glimmer of life! As for our three-game appointment, we're tied now, and the third game can only wait until we have dealt with this guy together. Otherwise, no matter who wins or loses in our game, the outcome is meaningless. ”
I nodded in agreement.
Mr. Kobayashi looked at me and said, "Then we have decided to turn the war into a jade silk for the time being, and join forces to deal with the mysterious man in black!" ”
"Okay, it's a deal!" I stood up and held out my hand to Mr. Kobayashi.
Mr. Kobayashi also stretched out his hand and shook it tightly with me.
The fear of the mysterious man in black brought us together. But in the end, we still have to fight.
I smiled reluctantly and said, "You say, is the alliance between the two of us also in that guy's calculations?" ”
Mr. Kobayashi's hand trembled involuntarily, and he smiled reluctantly, and said, "Maybe." ”
I said, "Now the focus is on the doctor named Pan Jinquan, obviously he has a lot of contact with the mysterious man in black, maybe we can ask some clues from his mouth." ”
Mr. Kobayashi smiled, "I think so too. I feel more and more that the two of us really have the same heart, and many things are very tacit. I believe that when the two of us join forces, there is absolutely nothing that cannot be solved, and there is no person we cannot deal with! ”
"I feel that way, too." I said with a smile.
The two of us looked at each other and laughed.
Then, hand in hand, we walked out of the room and down the stairs.
Guo Tingting, Lin Miaoyin, Zhu'er, and Xiao Hongye watched in amazement as Mr. Xiaolin and I held hands, and their mouths were open enough to fit an egg.
They definitely didn't expect that the two people who were still gambling on life and death just now would be hand in hand, smiling and very friendly.
On the contrary, the two people brought by Mr. Kobayashi were still expressionless, as if they didn't care about anything in the outside world. Under their detention, Pan Jinzhong and Pan Jinquan have completely given up resistance and look like they have accepted their fate. Especially that Pan Jinquan, his head hung limply and didn't move.
"I now declare that from now on, we and Mr. Kobayashi are allies." I looked at Guo Tingting and said with a smile.
After a long time, Xiao Hongye reacted first and said, "Did I hear it wrong?" Or are you obsessed with him? ”
Even Zhu'er said, "Maybe that Mr. Kobayashi replaced the master's soul!" ”
As she spoke, Zhu'er immediately jumped in front of Mr. Kobayashi and was about to put it right.
I hurriedly shouted, "Zhu'er, don't mess around! ”
"Are you really my master?" Zhu'er is still skeptical.
"Nonsense!" I glanced at Zhu'er and said, "Haven't you heard of that?" There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests! ”
Lin Miaoyin said in the back: "Are you going to join forces to deal with that mysterious man in black?" ”
I gave a thumbs up, gave Lin Miaoyin a thumbs up, and said, "Clever! ”
