Former host
The two people in the room maintained an almost frozen motion, but Xiang Yun outside the door felt his heart beating fast. She even suspected that the plopping sound would be heard by the two people over there.
Things changed so fast that her entire plan fell through. Lu Jia, who originally thought that he was going to sell cultural relics, hid a pistol in the box, and he didn't know what his original plan was. On the other side of the transaction, a young man named Meng Chuanbai tore off his mask, and he turned out to be a killer-like figure underneath. At this moment, Xiang Yun saw his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his face was handsome with a bit of arrogance, just standing there he could feel the strong confidence rushing to his face, how could there be half a shadow of the public face just now?
Both of them have their own secrets, and the situation has changed abruptly, Xiang Yun has a gut feeling that this matter will not be as simple as expected today. She thought about telling Xiao Yongfei to retreat first, but their walkie-talkie was almost useless in this complex environment. Compared with a tracker with simple signal content, this kind of device that transmits voice signals is greatly affected by the environment, and what she says is likely to be a mess of noise when it comes to the other side, and in turn she listens to the other side is only a noise, and neither party knows whether the other person hears clearly. At this time, it was too late to go over there to inform, so Xiang Yun had to stick to the door and continue to observe the situation and act at the opportunity.
On the other side, Lu Jia's eyes widened and his mouth widened, continuing to maintain that surprised look. Meng Chuanbai on the other side looked at him, and the smile on his face gradually faded, revealing a disgusted expression instead.
"How long are you going to pretend like this?" He frowned and said, "And it's okay to pretend to be a little bit, and show a surprised look like this, are you laughing at me?" ”
"Huh? You can really see it. ”
Lu Jia smiled, as if he didn't take the knife around his neck seriously at all. He fell back comfortably, and his outstretched hand and pistol were placed on the sofa casually, but Meng Chuanbai had to lean forward in order to maintain the position of the knife, looking quite embarrassed.
"Still don't want to give up?" Lu Jia knocked his neck leisurely, "You should feel it when you touch it, there is an alloy sheet under this layer of fake skin, although you should be able to split it without a force distance, but the delay is enough for me to dodge, not to mention that you have to count the charges according to the rules before you make a move, how much can I do in this time." ”
He smiled lightly: "Moreover, how can I have no protection at all for a vital point like the carotid artery, which kills with one hit." ”
"However, this protection is limited to the neck." Meng Chuanbai smiled coldly, and suddenly picked up the knife!
There was a soft "ding", and a small spark suddenly lit up between the two, followed by a continuous crisp sound and more sparks. At the last moment, Lu Jia raised a black broken blade in his palm, and he narrowly bounced off the tip of the knife provoked by Meng Chuanbai, the latter's offensive continued, and his defense was also leaky, and the dozen or so encounters in a row were so fast that only afterimages remained, Xiang Yun outside the door held his breath and opened his eyes wide, barely able to keep up with the speed of the two.
Finally, a little blood flashed, and the sound stopped abruptly. Meng Chuanbai took a step back abruptly and sat back on the sofa on his side, the tip of his flat knife still pointing forward without slackening, as if he was guarding against a possible counterattack. And Lu Jia maintained the posture of protecting his hands on the side of his neck. He held the half-cut blade that had saved his life in his palm, and although he tried to make a calm expression on his face, his chest rose and fell uncontrollably due to rapid panting.
After two seconds, a shallow red mark slowly appeared on his face, from the corner of his mouth to the root of his ear, blood slowly flowed from the wound, and from a distance, it looked as if he was grinning.
"Good moves." Lu Jia's expression at this moment was really shocked, "It's not like a student that guy can teach." ”
On the other side, Meng Chuanbai also flashed a hint of surprise for a moment.
Although the confrontation just now ended with a small victory for him, the so-called record is just a shallow mark on the opponent's face, and he has not even had a chance to leave a point deep in the wound. Not to mention that the opponent's defense just now was almost flawless, so he had no way to start, just looking at Lu Jia's first shot to bounce off the blade, he knew that the opponent's skills were by no means below him. The reason why Meng Chuanbai was able to draw that knife was still thanks to a little advantage of the first move.
At this moment, both sides confirmed at the same time that the opponent this time was a figure standing on the same level as themselves.
"There are a lot of students in the teacher, and I'm the special one."
The young man put away his smile and reintroduced himself, word for word.
"The second active one, 'pharmacist' Meng Chuanbai."
Lu Jia's strength really surprised him, but at the same time, the fearless arrogance on his body did not decrease at all, and even became stronger. Xiang Yun suddenly remembered that there was also a character named Pharmacist in the book he had read before, and that person was also casual, so crazy that he couldn't do it, and he thought that this nickname was probably related to this.
But what made Xiang Yun's heart tremble even more was the title of "second place". If you mention this alone, it doesn't seem like anything, but when it comes to the "Xifeng" mentioned by the other party before, Xiang Yun suddenly remembered a legend about the Xifeng Republic.
It is said that in that country there is a secret team nicknamed "Host", which is directly subordinate to the Xifeng royal family and is strong. This team also implements Xifeng's consistent tradition of respecting the strong, advocating relying on competition to obtain rankings, and using rankings to determine status and treatment. Therefore, if you can go all the way to the forefront of this elite team, you must be a rare powerhouse in the world. Judging from Meng Chuanbai's series of shots just now, he probably really deserves this evaluation.
But at this time, this crazy "pharmacist" faced Lu Jia, but he rarely showed a serious appearance. Xiang Yun couldn't help but wonder, Lu Jia was obviously just a businessman, why did he have such amazing skills just now? And looking at Meng Chuanbai's attitude towards him and his previous "purge" remarks, the two should have had some entanglements before.
In retrospect, Lu Jia's resume before coming to Tianjing was vague and unclear, as if it had been artificially embellished, and this matter was not a secret in Tianjing City. In the past, this was at best the gossip of the people after dinner, but at this time, this experience is clearly the key to the current confrontation.
Xiang Yun hesitated again. In fact, in terms of her duties, it was time to stand up and stop the two sides when Meng Chuanbai put the knife on Lu Jia's neck, but judging from that series of encounters, the hand-to-hand combat ability of any of them was better than Xiang Yun, and the only advantage she had was probably the fact that she was in the dark. But Meng Chuanbai's experience also shows that in fact, for people at this level, the advantage of the first hand is really not as great as imagined.
She also had a pistol tucked away on the inside of her coat, not without permission to shoot if necessary. But a gun can only force one enemy, and in this situation, she is not sure that she is completely in control.
So she could only wait and continue to listen to the conversation between the two inside.
"yes, number two...... It's the turn of this generation of young people to take the position, am I really old? ”
After hearing Meng Chuanbai's answer, Lu Jia muttered to himself, looking quite emotional. He touched the wound on his face, smiled bitterly, and suddenly raised his head and smiled at Meng Chuanbai again, "So, when did you start targeting me?" ”
"Targeting? That's not quite accurate. Meng Chuanbai slowly put down the knife he was holding flat, "I was just passing by here, and then I just happened to find you again." Someone else is eyeing you. ”
He smiled: "In retrospect, the teacher had already included you when he recommended the itinerary to me. He likes to hide what he really wants to do very deeply, and he must have expected that as soon as I entered Tianjing, I would hear rumors about Lu Shanren, and then I was curious, so I went to investigate it myself. Once investigated, the truth will automatically come to me. ”
He looked at Lu Jia's eyes, although the latter was still calm, there was a little uncomfortable in his eyes.
"You've done a great job of disguising your identity." Meng Chuanbai said, "However, the disguise techniques are all commonly used by the host, and it is good to deceive people outside, but when I meet me, who is also the host, it is counterproductive." More than ten years ago, you killed the host of your fellow hosts, betrayed Xifeng all the way, and went incognito. Didn't you expect someone to come to your door? ”
Lu Jia sneered: "Do you think there isn't?" Boy, it looks like you haven't been granted permission to view the death record. ”
Meng Chuanbai's face changed slightly.
Lu Jia said this very clearly: Obviously, it was not that no host had been here before, and some of them found him like Meng Chuanbai, but those people ended up being martyred. These people were either killed by mistake while purging the traitors, or they were attacked first by the other hand, and to put it bluntly, they all died at his hands.
Originally, he had the crime of killing his colleagues and betraying the motherland, but now he has a few more lives on his hands. Thinking of this, Meng Chuanbai's gaze at him added a bit of murderous intent.
However, Lu Jia didn't seem to feel any of this. He shrugged and moved the conversation to another matter.
"Discover me, and then?" He said, "When did you get involved in my deal?" ”
"Just today." Meng Chuanbai replied, "After all, the things in the early stage are too cumbersome, and pretending to be in the process of discussing the transaction is really troublesome, so it is better to wait for the transaction to be negotiated, and directly pretend to be the person who made the transaction." ”
Lu Jia nodded: "Same as I thought." ”
He looked at Meng Chuanbai and suddenly smiled: "What about the person who was originally going to trade with me?" Killed by you? ”
His weird smile made Meng Chuanbai's heart move slightly, but he still held on to the calm on his face and sneered. "Do you still have the time to worry about other people?" He replied, "But don't worry, I'm not going to kill people casually." The man was now lying comfortably in a hotel room, but he wouldn't wake up for a while. ”
"In this case, then I will be relieved." Lu Jia nodded, "No matter how brutal I am, I don't want to hurt the innocent casually." ”
He said this lightly, but it made Meng Chuanbai's expression change suddenly.
