After diving down, Lin Yuedong found that this place was not so much a waterhole as a water hole. www.biquge.info Because this is actually a hole that goes down vertically, less than half a meter wide, and then fills it with water. When Lin Yuedong first swam down, he almost thought that he had come from somewhere to touch the thief hole made by Captain Jin.

After diving for about 200 meters, the small hole suddenly opened up and turned into a wide water. Lin Yuedong and Scarlett changed directions and swam forward for a long time, until the two of them used up the air in the two ice hockey pucks, and then their eyes lit up, but there was a sky light shining down from the water.

The two of them surfaced and found themselves in the river beyond the mountain where the ruins were.

"This place is familiar to me." Scarlett looked around, "That path also bends down and comes out of the water, but it leads to a small lake connected to the river, and now we come straight out of the river." I think that the river La Cahavera is connected to the dark river inside the ruins in this area, and it's strange that Holt has so much advanced equipment and didn't find it. ”

"I think they were bound by their own mindset, thinking that they could only enter the inner layer through the outer ruins, and never thought that a ruins would have an escape route - where was that little lake?" Lin Yuedong asked.

Scarlett stretched out her finger and pointed to the north: "Over there, I guess it's not too far from here." ”

Lin Yuedong thought for a while and said, "Leto said that the Baxter Gang is waiting outside, I think they should be waiting on the other side of the lake, right?" Then we'd better avoid that side. ”

Scarlett shook her head: "It's hard to say. If the Baxter Gang were waiting on the other side of the lake, Leto would want us to climb the trail and throw ourselves into the net. But in fact she kept threatening us with flames, telling the two of us to rush down from that little puddle - don't you think she seems to be forcing us here? She had read the memories of the Guardians, and there was no way she didn't know about the little puddle. ”

Lin Yuedong fell into deep thought. What Scarlett said is indeed a possibility, and it is not a small possibility. Leto's IQ is unquestionable, and she wouldn't fail to take this into account.

But the question is, coming out of this side is a spacious river, where does she have to place an ambush to ensure that she is hit?

In the next second, he knew the answer: the light of a flashlight hit Lin Yuedong and Scarlett, exposing their figures.

"Lin Yuedong." Simon, who was holding a flashlight, stood on the shore with a complicated expression, "Leto told me that I can wait for you and Scarlett Fox when I wait here, it seems that she is very accurate." ”

"Simon." Lin Yuedong created a piece of ice under his feet, allowing himself and Scarlett to surface, "I haven't seen you for a day, you look a lot haggard." ”

"Because of you, I've now been stripped of all my superpowers and assigned to take care of the stables, so of course, I'm emaciated." Simon said.

Lin Yuedong shrugged: "Should I be sorry for this?" ”

Simon pretended to be surprised and said, "No, you don't. Look at yourself, powerful, intelligent, standing in the center of the stage, both the lead actor and the director, manipulating everything to dance in your hands. The Baxter Gang, the Rojos family, and the Holt Corporation use your mind to control the situation in San Miguel and make the plot go the way you want it to. As for me? I'm just an insignificant pawn, the most inconspicuous corner of your plan. How could you need to be sorry for me? ”

"With all due respect, this sounds like a complaint you're complaining about me......"

"Complaints, of course!" Simon shouted, anger in his voice, "I don't know what you're doing these stupid things for, but you've caused me to lose almost everything, my abilities, my status, my wealth, my honor!" I'm nothing now, nothing! It's just because I'm too close to you! ”

He waved his hands excitedly, "I can only risk my life here as a peripheral pawn to pass on your message, but even this is not because they need me, or because they fancy my ability or whatever, it's just because...... Do you know what John said? He said, 'Send an acquaintance, maybe you can get him to soften his heart'! That's all I do! ”

"I have to point out that you are not actually my acquaintance......"

"He thinks I'm incompetent, and he sent me only because I know you! And that's the most important job I've ever had in Baxter Gang right now, and I have to feed the horses! Do you know what that feels like? ”

"Uh, I guess it's not needed?"

"That's it! They don't have me at all in their eyes now, I spent so many years, born and died, and now it's all over! It's because of your inexplicable self-righteous actions that accidentally affected me! Simon was emotional, "And do you know what's the most ironic?" Even in your actions, which caused me to lose everything, I am still a little pawn that is not taken seriously! You follow John, you follow Ramon, you value Isidro, you value Rubio, but Simon? Ha, who is that? ”

Lin Yuedong was a little emotional. This is the sorrow of the little people, when the big people who stand on the stage stir up the storm according to their own plans, they can only be kept in the dark, and follow the baton action of the big people, not only ignorant of the situation, but also complacent that they are important.

At this point, Simon is not even as good as Enoku, at least Enohisa can recognize the fact that he is a pawn and has the corresponding awareness.

"Anyway, congratulations on finally recognizing who you are." Lin Yuedong said ruthlessly.

"I'm not happy at all...... Forget it, it doesn't matter what you say now. I wasn't a big guy from the start, what more could a pawn ask for? Simon finished venting the frustration in his heart and took a deep breath, "John asked me to bring you a message, we caught Lin Xiaonuo, she is next to a small lake about five hundred meters away, and of course there are a bunch of people you know. I believe that with your wisdom, you know what I have to say. ”

"The Baxter gang is using Lin Xiaonuo as a hostage, hoping that Scarlett and I can throw ourselves into the net." Lin Yuedong scratched his head, "Now I know Leto's plan. ”

Using Lin Xiaonuo to hold himself and Scarlett hostage is really a typical villain.

"By the way, if you go, we promise not to kill Lin Xiaonuo, we will only drive her out of the city. But if you don't go, we'll tear up the ticket within two hours. Simon added.

"Thank you for the detailed and careful notice, now you can go, tell the Baxter gang that we will be there soon." Lin Yuedong issued an eviction order.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Simon said angrily and turned to leave.

After Simon left, Lin Yuedong looked at Scarlett: "Now the situation is like this, what do you say?" I must ask you not to say that you want to ......"

Scarlett said categorically: "I'm definitely going, no matter what." ”

“…… Don't say you're going! God, you know it's just going to kill you and her! The Baxters know you've lost your superpowers, you can't scare them, and there's no way you can stop them. ”

"So the most important thing they have to do now is to prevent me from getting any more superpowers, which means they must have the pieces of that crystal ball with them. Even if I choose not to go, it will only be a little longer. There's no way I'm going to sacrifice my sister's life just for something like this. ”

"You've lost all of your superpowers so far, but your ability to absorb other people's superpowers is still there. Your disguise mask is still with me, you can use this mask to go incognito in another city, and rebuild your power little by little, I don't think it's difficult for you. ”

"And then wait until I absorb enough strength to come back for revenge? It's just that at that time, my sister was already dead and couldn't die anymore! I had a chance to save her, and now you're asking me to give up that chance? ”

"But there's no guarantee they'll keep their word! They may just trick you over, kill you, and then kill Lin Xiaonuo as well. The Baxter Gang didn't run a good church, they just do things like this, and I'm not sure you wouldn't know. ”

"I know, but even if there's only a one percent chance, I can't sit idly by."

"You're gambling, and you're betting on the enemy, which is very dangerous!" Lin Yuedong frowned.

"Thank you for your sensible advice, but now my favorite sister has been kidnapped and will most likely be killed!" Scarlett roared uncontrollably, "I'd rather die with her than live alone with such sad memories!" ”

It's really touching sisterly love, and Lin Yuedong feels that he might be moved by it too—if this is not something that will seriously affect his plans!

He deceived the Baxter Gang, deceived the Holt Company, and risked losing everything to choose to help Lin Xiaonuo save Scarlett, just because this is a trump card that can be reversed in one shot. As long as he obtains Scarlett's combat power, Lin Yuedong can do everything he wants in San Miguel City, whether it is to kill the Baxter gang or establish a new order, he can easily do it and obtain greater benefits.

What's more, the risks are not as great as you might think. The Holt Corporation and the Baxter Gang had no defense against him, and could have made a plan that was sophisticated enough.

Lin Yuedong did make a precise plan - if it wasn't for Leto's appearance, the Baxter Gang would not have realized what was going on until now - and the effect of the actual action was even more smooth than he expected: he obtained the magic stone without alerting the Holt Company, and Scarlett's unique superpowers could ensure that even if the plan failed, she could be re-strengthened by other methods, achieving the same effect as the plan succeeded.

But now everything is going to be ruined by Scarlett's sister. When Lin Yuedong knew that Scarlett had the same thoughts as himself, he thought that she should be a person as rational as himself, but it seemed that she was not rational at all in front of Lin Xiaonuo.

Plans can't keep up with the changes......

"I know it's not fair to you, you've worked so hard to get me out, and I'm going to throw myself into the net now. I'm sorry for that, but I don't have a choice. Scarlett said firmly.

"Accept your apologies." Lin Yuedong scratched his hair, "Believe me, there was indeed a moment when I wanted to leave you alone." It's just that...... Damn, I spent so much effort to get you out, not to make you die for nothing! ”

Now that he has the magic stone, he can fly back to St. Miguel and ride away on his motorcycle, but then his grades will be a mess!

And he hasn't made an end with Leto yet, and he won't give up until he loses hope completely.

Leto has indeed built a huge advantage, but it's not over yet, and he still has a chance to turn around.

"I'm sorry......"

"I said I accepted your apologies, now it's time for us to do something useful." A chill flashed in Lin Yuedong's eyes, "We need a plan. ”
