Chapter 214: Leading the Way (7)
This is the second time that the judge has said that the forces behind the old village chief are not simple, Bai Ci heard him mention it twice in a row, as if he had noticed something, and hurriedly asked, "Judge, according to what you see, do you think the person behind this has any purpose?" ”
The judge's gaze was a little deep, staring at Bai Ci for a while, in fact, he was not sure how deep the water was here, with his years of mercenary experience, his intuition told him that this matter was probably more complicated than what he saw now.
First of all, the village of Yucun is a place of seclusion, and if there is no special reason, the village will not deliberately disconnect from the outside world.
If the Misty Forest was a barrier that cut them off from the outside world, then for so many years, hasn't anyone come out of it?
If someone in the village can come out, there must be a way to go in again, the natural barrier is not enough to bury the desire of the people in the village to the outside world, especially young people, who doesn't want to go out and see the outside world?
In addition, over the years, so many teams have been going to find Rain Village, which can only show one thing, there is something very attractive about Rain Village that some people care about very much, and want to get it at all costs!
And these people tend to do whatever it takes, even if there is a barrier like the Misty Forest, they will send people to prevent the outside world from entering, including preventing people in the Rain Village from going out, resulting in this place being almost unknown to the outside world, and all information is intercepted halfway.
It is conceivable that such a situation must not be something that ordinary people can do, and the people behind this are definitely not ordinary forces.
These thoughts flashed in the judge's mind almost instantly, but he didn't make it clear, he didn't want to wade into this troubled water, many times, the more things he knew, the more dangers he would face.
He couldn't judge whether the people of the Bai family were related to the forces behind it, after all, the Bai family was also the first to bear the brunt of the extraordinary forces he could think of.
What role does the Bai family play in this matter? Was it planned by the Bai family? Or is the Bai family an ally? Is it also possible that the Bai family and the forces behind this are hostile? Of course, the Bai family may also just want to save people, and they inadvertently get involved in this matter.
Either way, it wasn't a good thing for him, after all, their mission this time was to protect Bai Ci and Shulan Ruo, and once these things were involved, it was really unknown whether they would be able to get out of the way.
Therefore, if the judge wants to answer Bai Ci's question, he must be very careful, and the reason why he repeatedly mentions that force is nothing more than to test Bai Ci and see his reaction.
However, judging from Bai Ci's performance, Bai Ci doesn't seem to know about this matter, of course, this may also be an imaginary disguised by Bai Ci, but with what Bai Ci knows, if they can disguise it without flaws, then how much should this young man's scheming be?
The judge thought for a while, and decided to kick the ball back to Bai Ci, before he was completely sure, he felt that asking Bai Ci rhetorically was the only correct way for him to answer now.
"Young Master Bai, it can be seen from the known information that someone wants to prevent the outside world from contacting the Rain Village, or, instead of the Rain Village, but the Misty Forest, it is possible that there is something in these two places, do you think there is anything or something that people can obtain at all costs?"
Bai Ci's head had always been a tendon, so he didn't think about it at all, and replied directly, "Spirit beasts, or treasures!" ”
The judge raised his eyebrows, took out the paper fan in his arms and shook it, and continued to ask, "Then why do you think they don't just go to hunt spirit beasts or search for treasures, but have to go to such great lengths to cover up and stop them?" ”
"This ......" Bai Ci frowned, in fact, he also felt that this question was very puzzling, and he thought for a while before saying, "Haven't they found a treasure or a spirit beast yet?" They just know that they have what they want here, and they don't have enough intelligence to move on to what's next? ”
The judge slapped the fan into the palm of his hand, closed the folding fan with a snap, nodded, and said, "Yes, this is also a reasonable explanation that I can think of at the moment." ”
