Chapter 59: A Crisis of Confidence
"I don't understand what you're talking about." The knight retracted the gun in his waist and hid his hands under his cloak, which was a danger signal.
However, Xuanzang didn't care, and continued: "I believe you have just found out that you are not our opponent......"
"Don't pull yourself in, it's just me." The white dragon interjected.
“…… Not the opponent of this young lady. Xuanzang reluctantly corrected, "I suggest that you don't make any more attacks, and it's best not to leave in a hurry, because you have no choice." You also know that the gangster who wreaked havoc during the day was conjured, and if we hadn't cooperated, we would have rushed to the security team tomorrow morning and found that you, the messenger of justice, had failed to punish evil. ”
The knight had already prepared his hook and flashbang under the cover of his cloak, and when he heard his words, he couldn't help but ask, "So what?" It was the first time he had seen someone use such a strange threatening method.
Xuanzang asked, "You've never failed before, have you?" ”
The knight was silent for a few seconds and nodded.
"Then you're miserable. The peace you've worked so hard for Gao Town will soon crumble. Why don't you take off your mask and talk to us, why don't you welcome guests from afar now when you have sent out an invitation announcement? ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xuanzang finished speaking, he detonated a flashbang and disappeared at the opportunity.
Xuanzang bent the corners of his mouth downward, and said suspiciously: "I mentioned the broadcast, and he still ran, did we recognize the wrong person?" The coordinates are indeed here......"
"What people are inviting is a monster, not a bald head with a Heavenly Court robot of unknown origin." The white dragon said on the side.
"Could it be that this knight is actually a person, and the monster we are looking for has another identity?"
"If you can keep up with my speed, that body can't be human. I'm just curious, where did you tell that he was an immortal? He has the technological products of the Heavenly Court in his hands, but this evidence is not enough. ”
"I'm talking nonsense."
"What?" The white dragon was surprised.
Xuanzang explained: "Habitual methods. Regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, first throw this in his face, pretend to know everything to scare him, and then take follow-up actions according to the other party's reaction. Except for people, who will be punished into the beast path, aren't they immortals, and the fifty percent accuracy rate is mostly guessed from his performance. ”
"The probability is not fifty percent at all, whether it is good or not......" Bai Long really couldn't afford to evaluate his very messy approach, recalled the conversation between Xuanzang and the chivalrous man just now, looked up and said, "Hey, Xuanzang, it's not right!" I shouldn't have listened to you to shapeshift. The man I transformed into doesn't exist at all, so tomorrow's outcome will make no difference. If he hadn't run away just now and could have talked to us, would he have really handed me over to the security team tomorrow morning? ”
Xuanzang said: "If the contact is successful just now, I will suggest that he move the location so that the people in the town or the camera can see the picture of him being defeated by you." Either way, the kind of security he'd built up in High Town had to be shattered. ”
The white dragon tilted his head in confusion and asked, "Why?" ”
"Tomorrow, when you experience one of the results for yourself, you'll understand."
The next morning, Xuanzang took the white dragon to the gate of the security team. The victims of the previous day had gathered early there, with what they had promised, waiting to take their anger out on the bastard who had done the havoc.
But they all pounced. Faced with the fact that the scum is at large, everyone is unwilling to admit it, but they know very well in their hearts that the people who can't vent their anger and can't see the excitement show some kind of embarrassing stupidity.
Compared with the escape of the bad guys, everyone is more concerned about the well-brewed sense of justice that has nowhere to land, just like a sneeze that has not been able to make it after trying several times, which makes them extremely unable to let go. So some people began to be angry with the missing knight, accusing him of incompetence.
And what's even more embarrassing is that they can't find the mysterious hero either. I can't throw dirt at him, I can't humiliate his image, and even when I want to curse something, I find that the chivalrous man doesn't even have an official name. This made them suffocate a little internally.
A couple of fierce-tempered guys put a dummy in the place where they used to throw criminals, and each of them soaked a soak of urine to vent. Surprisingly, when they did this, they scolded the knight, not the criminal.
Others only cursed silently in their hearts and dispersed unwillingly.
"It's amazing." The white dragon saw all this and raised his eyebrows, "It's just a failure, and they're just doing it to him." It's obviously me who is wrong, shouldn't they all scold me, right? It's even more scolding him......"
Xuanzang smiled sarcastically and said, "This is the slightest. One more day, seeing that you haven't been punished yet, their emotions will be even more intense. And the anger is definitely fermenting a lot faster than you think. ”
The white dragon shook his head and said, "It's incomprehensible. ”
"The knights have raised their expectations too high. His biggest mistake was that he had never failed once before. He has accustomed these people to regard the maintenance of justice as his sole responsibility, and this kind of stability on the basis is very abnormal. ”
Xuanzang said, and suddenly noticed an old man passing by them, muttering something in his mouth.
“…… A bunch of idiots. I've long said that you can't count on that ghost hero! The monsters in the town have never been able to get rid of them, and there is a fart! is just a coward who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, and shrinks up when he encounters a really ruthless character. The old man scolded quietly.
When Xuanzang heard the word monster, he glanced at Bailong and immediately stepped forward together. "Old man, did you just say that there are monsters in Gao Town?" Xuanzang asked.
The old man looked at him suspiciously and said, "Who are you?" What's the matter with you? ”
Xuanzang thought for a while and replied: "We are from far away, and we have some skills in subduing demons, and we often do some work to eliminate harm for the people and accumulate some merit for ourselves. I've heard that there are monsters in this area.,I'm investigating in the town.。 Can you elaborate on that, maybe we can help. ”
"It's useless to tell you. That monster can't even help the knights of Gao Town, what tricks do you two have? The old man said, showing a look that had already seen through the truth, "I think you are liars, and there are people who specialize in catching demons?" Who believes. ”
"If the old gentleman doesn't try it, how will he know if it's true?" Xuanzang continued to persuade.
Others saw them competing with this old man, and sneered: "Brother, don't talk nonsense with this old madman. His eldest daughter married the richest man in Gao Town, and she was suspicious of it, insisting that Mr. Tianpeng was dressed as a monster. Gao Taigong, you really think you have sharp eyes, and the whole world can see the true face of monsters. ”
"Yes. Talking nonsense everywhere, your daughter thinks you're ashamed. Miss Gao and Mr. Tianpeng get along day and night, if he is really a monster, will Miss Gao not say it first, and it will be your turn to expose it? Another passer-by laughed and said, "Hey, Mrs. Gao, let me ask you, after your daughter got married, do you still hide from their little two under the bed every day?" ”
After saying that, several people laughed loudly, filled with a cheerful air.
Mrs. Gao stomped her feet stupidly and brushed her sleeves away. Xuanzang hurriedly caught up and said, "Old man, dissipate your anger and ignore them." What does that Mr. Canopy look like? If we can meet him, we will have a way to determine if he is a monster or not. ”
Seeing that this young man didn't follow the teasing, and still took the monster incident he casually mentioned just now, Gao Taigong's impression of him changed slightly, and his attitude eased a little.
"Canopy is the most famous man in town, and you can see him almost everywhere. Let me look for it......" Gao Taigong craned his neck to look left and right, then pointed in one direction and said, "Look over there." ”
Xuanzang and Bailong looked at his fingers, and what greeted them was an extremely strange scene.
A mutated bull in armor pulls a flatbed cart carrying batteries and a television, surrounded by a mess of wires and chains, and surrounded by banners.
The TV actually plays normally. A man inside was about to drink water with a water glass, suddenly frowning and shaking his head at the water of the wrong color. Then he threw down a pill, and a large number of bubbles bubbled out of the water, which suddenly became transparent and clear.
With a satisfied smile, the man drank the water in one gulp, took out a plate of pills and gave a thumbs up. His smile was as standard as a textbook, and his white porcelain-like teeth flashed brightly.
Xuanzang stared at the looping screen, wondering how he hadn't discovered such a special thing before. "It's ...... TV commercials? He whispered in disbelief.
The white dragon's eyes lit up extremely unusually, focusing on something other than the main point.
"Why...... There will be ...... This! Whatever! Handsome! Target! Man! Person! ”
