Chapter 37: The Trap
Ma Bin's words made me shudder.
Is it true that anyone would deliberately use spells to create panic in order to make money?
"This was actually very common in ancient times." Ma Bin said. "Asking a warlock to lower his head in order to occupy other people's property, bad feng shui, and making competitors bankrupt and ruined, if you want to see it, we have a lot of records like this."
"That's what you made up to discredit the monks and find a moral basis for your actions!" Lu Xiaoling said angrily.
"We've just collected and sorted out the things about the evil deeds of the monks recorded in the history books, and if you're interested, you can find them yourself." Ma Bin shrugged and said. "Of course, you will say good things for the monks, but the facts are the facts, and you can't change them if you deny them."
After Lu Xiaoling was speechless for a moment, she immediately asked: "Then the police also bend the law for personal gain, do all the policemen deserve to die?" Why didn't you talk about the monk's demon slaying and demon extermination? ”
"We have never denied that, but no matter how bad the demons and monsters are, they can only affect a small number of people, and the warlock class often hinders social and scientific progress at the national level, and hinders the fairness and justice of social distribution!" Ma Bin said. "All modern developed countries have developed rapidly after the elimination of the warlock class, and those countries where there are still wizards and warlocks are still poor and backward. This is a reality that everyone can see, and no matter what you say, there is no way to change it. ”
Lu Xiaoling had nothing to say at all.
I don't know how the conversation between the two of them suddenly shifted to the feud decades ago, and hurriedly changed the subject.
Actually, my own position is very delicate.
Emotionally speaking, I should be biased towards Lu Xiaoling, in addition to my current status as a quasi-warlock, there is also the affection between Master Lu and Master Cao. But I still haven't really turned my mind from an ordinary person to a warlock.
From the rational point of view of the engineering man, I actually agree with Ma Bin's statement.
Facts speak louder than words, and although the process may be very bloody and inhumane, and from the point of view of the warlock class it is tantamount to a complete betrayal and massacre, but from the point of view of the whole country, if it were not for the campaign initiated by His Majesty the Emperor in the decades, perhaps Bactria would not be a huge, chaotic and weak giant like India today, and it would not have become the second largest economy in the world.
Of course, I couldn't let Lu Xiaoling know about such thoughts, so I didn't dare to join their topic, but carefully discussed countermeasures.
"It is said that the approval will come down in another month, and I don't think they will wait any longer to calculate the time it takes to buy the house." Ma Bin judged. "If you want to do it, it's probably just a matter of the next few days."
"Shall we wait in that house?"
"Now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, this is the only way." Ma Bin said after a sigh.
"Why didn't your unit just come out and take care of this matter?" It occurred to me that I had an idea.
The sudden change from a newborn wraith to a warlock who could create illusions on a large scale and drive hundreds of wild cats to attack people suddenly made me feel a lot of pressure before I had any offensive spells.
Will this be the case like the one at Far Mountain University?
"This ...... Am I not the representative? Ma Bin's expression froze for a moment, and then he said very unconvincingly. Behind it is actually the simplest person, and no matter how clever the spell is, it can't block a bullet. I am now an Inspector I and can mobilize the police force of the police station and substation when necessary......"
"Actually, you didn't report it at all, did you?" Lu Xiaoling ruthlessly exposed him. "Greedy for merit or anxious to prove yourself?"
Ma Bin's face turned red all of a sudden.
"It's up to you." Lu Xiaoling said. "It's enough for me to do something like this."
"Lu Xiaoling!" I cried out anxiously and angrily. "Don't forget what Master Cao said before leaving!"
"Don't always use Uncle Cao to press me!" Lu Xiaoling jumped up instead. "I haven't heard of anyone who has grown up all the way with the help of his seniors! Do you want to be a good baby under the wings of adults? Whatever you want! But don't pull me in! ”
"If the Yin Yang Warlock lacks ability, he will harm others and himself!" I said helplessly.
"Not this time!" Lu Xiaoling said. "I'm sure!"
She looked at Ma Bin, so he quickly nodded as well: "That's right! I'm sure too! ”
I don't know how the two of them suddenly became allies again, it's a real headache for me.
But Lu Xiaoling cautiously stared at me and didn't let me have a chance to call Master Cao, she guarded me like a thief, and finally let me compromise.
"As soon as there is any problem, or the situation expands to the point where we have no way to end it, we will immediately retreat and let Ma Bin call for help!" I said, staring at both of them.
This is my floor.
"No problem!" The two of them said in unison.
I don't know if the charm Ma Bin got was left by that sect, but after swallowing it, it only took two hours of work, and I felt that the injury on my hand had healed a lot.
But this kind of thing should not be easy to come by, otherwise, rabies would not still be a virulent infectious disease with a high mortality rate.
We observed around the community and were familiar with the environment, there were nearly 30 buildings in the entire Jiangong New Village, but according to the information found by Ma Bin, only the 10 buildings on the east side were really involved in the demolition plan, so we were mainly familiar with the surrounding environment of these buildings.
Last night, I was attacked in a small abandoned warehouse on the east side of Jiangong New Village, where the dead cats on the ground were still unattended, and the blood stains on the ground seemed to make my heart palpitate.
"Why are they attacking me here?" I said to Lu Xiaoling and Ma Bin. "Maybe their secret is in this place?"
"I've checked it carefully in the morning." Lu Xiaoling shook her head, nothing.
"Then why?"
"Maybe it's to cover that person's departure?" Ma Bin said suddenly.
This was a reasonable guess, so we started searching again, and finally found traces of someone staying in a house.
"Humph!"
For her mistakes, Lu Xiaoling blushed, but she was still unconvinced.
"There's no way he's going to be here after what happened yesterday!" She snorted.
"I don't see it that way." Ma Bin shook his head. "If you look at the location of this place, what are they going to do, it's almost impossible in the neighborhood not to be noticed, but here...... Close enough, yet discreet enough. ”
"We're in ambush here?" I asked.
"I have a better way." Ma Bin said. "There's a good wireless camera in the area, so we can set up a trap here and wait for them to get in."
