Chapter 289: Mutual Benefit
Five minutes of silence followed. m.
The centipede seemed to be trying to adjust his emotions until his mind was completely calm, and then he said to me, "What kind of benefit can you bring me?" ”
For this question, I can only helplessly spread my hands: "I'm a newcomer, I don't know the local situation, and I don't know the rules of your game, how do I know what kind of benefits I can bring you." Otherwise, just tell me what you want. ”
Centipede sighed and sulked: "I want to be a celebrity next to Ymir, I want to leave this broken warehouse." ”
"Then I'll do my best to help you."
The centipede squinted hard and stared at me motionlessly, as if to see through what was going on in my mind.
It was only later that I found out that all those who grew up in Haichang have the habit of staring at others, and most of their eyes are very sharp, and they can often see what you are thinking. This is a special skill they have honed in the cruel competition for survival, and seeing through others means mastering the initiative, and being seen through by others will inevitably fall into passivity.
Unlike the outside world, here, once you fall into passivity, you risk paying with your life.
The centipede stared at me for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "Your eyes are no different from those of a dead man." ”
I laughed: "Actually, when I was young, these eyes were big and bright, and they were very watery, but I don't know what's going on. ”
The centipede's fragmented face could barely make any expression, but I could feel that he was still in a happier mood at this time.
This guy seems serious, but in fact, there is a subtle casualness hidden in his heart, and if you talk to him in a serious tone, he will hate you.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was in a good mood now, I took the initiative to ask, "What do you think I should do to gain Ymir's trust?" ”
Cipede shook his head and said, "You have this heart, Ymir has never trusted anyone, not even his closest guards. But you can try to win his favor. ”
"How do you win his favor?"
"Help him solve the problem at hand. Recently, a group of cultists has infiltrated the gang, and I happen to know where the secret base of this group of cultists is. ”
"You want me to kill those cultists? Then you also die of this heart, I don't kill people. ”
"I'm not asking you to kill someone, I just want you to sneak in there and find out what the cultists are up to. That place is protected by the King of the Yellow Coat, and our people can't get in at all, but I think you should be able to break into it with your strength. ”
"Then you have to take me there, the road conditions here in Haishi are too complicated, and it's easy for me to get lost if I go alone."
"Wait."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait until it gets dark."
With those three words casually, he pushed me out of the secret room.
Then he tossed around the chamber, first wiping the blood off the iron bed, then cleaning the floor, resealing the metal frame from moisture, and finally spraying half a pot of air freshener in the chamber.
This place is short of resources, the air freshener should be made by the centipede itself, the smell is really not good, the smell of soap and alcohol is mixed together, at first glance it is quite pungent, but fortunately, such a smell can completely suppress the bloody smell in the secret room.
By the time he finished tossing this set, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, the sea market was already covered in night, but I was in the warehouse, and I couldn't see the night dome outside at all, only the large shadows that permeated the warehouse.
The centipede wiped his hands with a towel and walked out of the secret room: "Why don't you turn on the light?" ”
"I don't know where the switch is."
The centipede blinked helplessly, then reached for the black wall behind it with his backhand, groped around the wall twice, and then turned on the switch.
Boom!
The high-tiled lamp at the top of the storeroom instantly lit up, making an exceptionally clear muffled sound, which at first glance sounded like the sound of a wooden stick striking a metal cover.
The centipede pointed to a box in the corner: "There is dry food and jerky there, and behind the box is the faucet, fill your stomach first, and there will be a fierce battle tonight." ”
Obviously said that there was no need to kill, and now he said that there would be a fierce battle, and when the centipede said this, there was still a bit of determination in his tone.
It looks like he's planning to take part in tonight's raid as well.
People here change their faces faster than they turn a book, and I don't know what this guy thinks in his heart, but I don't plan to talk too much, since he plans to act together, it doesn't hurt to take him with him.
After hastily eating something, the centipede pulled out a sharp knife from the back of the food storage box, beckoned to me, and motioned for me to follow him.
I waved my hand at him: "I suggest, you better change your weapon, the bloody gas on that sharp knife is too heavy, you carry it, it is easy to expose your whereabouts." ”
The centipede was about to speak, but I had already cast a concealment spell and dodged into the shadows where the light could not shine.
The moment I performed the invisibility technique, the centipede only looked at me with his peripheral vision, his main gaze was still on the sharp knife, and since he didn't look directly at me, I seemed to disappear from his field of vision, and by the time he looked at the place where I had just landed with a surprised face, I had already dived behind him.
The centipede stood stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, until I whispered into his ear and whispered, "Guess where I am?" ”
He was startled and quickly turned to look, but just before he turned around, I circled around his side again.
The centipede looked at the vast darkness behind him and asked in great astonishment, "...... you Gone? ”
"It's not gone, it's just hidden." I withdrew the concealment technique and said to him with a smile, "We don't need to go through a fierce battle at all, I'll just sneak in with you." Remember, when you move, you must walk with your steps pressed, do not speak, and do not stand directly opposite the enemy. ”
This time the centipede was finally able to see me, and he smacked his mouth twice, as if to speak, but he still couldn't say a word.
I had to remind him: "Change the knife." ”
Without saying a word, the centipede immediately put the sharp knife back in its place, and took out a weighty hammer from the food storage box, which was probably not stained with blood, and there was no smell of blood on it.
I quickly walked behind the centipede and pressed an amulet to the center of his back: "Let's go." ”
The centipede tried to twist his shoulders and waist: "Strange, how do I feel, as if something is scurrying in my veins." ”
"That's my telekinesis."
"Telekinesis? Is this witchcraft? ”
"You think so, don't be wordy, Marriel let's go."
