Chapter 11: Pariston
"Mr. Rilin, the auction is about to start, may I ask...... Can we go to the venue now? After Lilin casually sorted out his clothes, the black-clad security guard had a chance to continue the conversation that had been half an hour earlier.
"Of course, please lead the way." Ribayashi smiled politely, just seeing his appearance at this time, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who could confuse him with the wild man who had done that kind of crazy and shameless in front of everyone.
After passing through three secret doors like vaults and safes, and then taking the fully sealed elevator for more than three minutes, when the elevator door opened, a new world suddenly appeared in front of Lilin's eyes.
"You're a little late, and as far as I know, Mr. 'Wojin' should be a very punctual person, right?"
Rilin's voice suddenly sounded in front of him, and sure enough, the person who invited Rilin to come here to participate in the auction trade in the form of a card was none other than the vice president of the Hunters' Guild, a mysterious figure who could make Rilin jealous, the smiling Pariston.
"There was a slight delay in encountering things." Lilin replied casually.
Pariston smiled slightly, looked at Lilin with shining eyes and said, "What you call something." Is it the heinous crime of destroying the entire floor of my star-rated hotel and then killing at least fifteen people? Or is it your crime of committing shameless adultery with a number of famous wives in full view? ”
"You are only half right, the wrong half is that I did not commit a crime, just now it was those women who took the initiative, strictly speaking, it was actually me who was raped, as for the hotel...... I was just doing a good defence. ”
At this point. Rillin is very confident, and the best proof of this is that his progress in the "Great Offender" achievement has not been pushed forward because of this. He believed that Parisstone, who had a vast intelligence network, would most likely have completely figured out everything, and even Rilin suspected that the assassins of the Ten Old Men were most likely deliberately let go by him before they had the opportunity to attack him. After all, this is not Youkexin, but Zhikun City. It was the turf of this young man named Pariston.
Pariston didn't continue to dwell on the issue, he turned his head with a slight smile. He didn't look directly at Rilin with eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. But he continued to say to him, "You know what? The world is already changing unconsciously......"
The topic was a bit huge, and Lilin didn't know how to talk to him for a while, so he chose to remain silent. And Pariston didn't care, and then said to himself: "The Dark Continent, which has been closed for tens of thousands of years, is actually showing signs of gradually opening, and there are constantly other worlds entering our world along the sea...... This is the world on the inside of the world map. Every single one of them is bound to have a storm. After all, our world is too small in front of the Dark Continent...... Ridiculously. But there are still people who are constantly trying to challenge the Dark Continent, and those who are so self-defeating and self-defeating are among them, including me. ”
"Not only that, but there are even many characters like the members of the Phantom Brigade, who should not have 'existed' at all, who have no clues, and who have unexplained purposes, doing one thing after another that seems to be profound, but also seems to be unreasonable and meaningless, and I thought they were also from mysterious. Meteor Street', but according to my personal investigation, this is not the case at all, not to mention, the abilities used by each of them have almost nothing to do with telekinesis. ”…,
When Pariston said this, the smile on Rilin's face remained the same, but his heart was extremely serious.
This Pariston is really terrible......
He doesn't seem to have escaped from the "fence" of the "plot character", but there is no doubt that he has begun to perceive the existence of the "illusionary space", and can hold the "fence" with his hand and peek out into part of the "truth...... Just by virtue of that little bit of a clue.
"Do you know this person Lilin?" Pariston suddenly turned back to Rillin and asked.
If the talented Lilin was just "surprised", then he was undoubtedly "shocked" at this time.
When Pariston asked him about this, even the violent man "Wojin" couldn't help but light up his eyes and asked back with great interest: "Why did you suddenly mention him to me." ”
"Nothing, it's just that after my investigation, the changes in this world seem to have started with this young man who had no background but was able to successfully take the hunter exam and became the only three young people in that phase to pass all the exams."
"Do you have proof?"
"Nope."
"And ......?"
"It's just a gut feeling." Pariston smiled very brightly: "When I began to perceive the changes in the world, and began to investigate, this person came into my sight, although the strength he showed was not worth mentioning at all, his physical strength was not bright, and the cultivation of mental ability was only just beginning, but even the very difficult Enemy Beater family, and perhaps the more difficult killer magician Siso, had a strong interest in him, which could not help but attract my attention." And when I saw the strange and familiar smile on his face in the photograph he recorded, my intuition told me that this person must be the key to everything. ”
"By the way......" Pariston's gaze once again converged on Rilin's face, his bright eyes seemingly unintentional, as if trying to see through all of Rilin's "truth".
Pariston suddenly smiled, "Your smile is very similar to that Lilin's now." Pariston said.
“…… I'm also starting to understand why you think the smile on that photo is both strange and familiar......" Lilin also smiled and shook his head, "Do you like to look in the mirror......"
The strange and inexplicable conversation between Rielin and Pariston didn't last long, because the auction called the "Rocky Terror Fair" had officially begun......
Although Lilin was underground at this time, the surrounding space was outrageously spacious, and if he hadn't come here step by step, Lilin would have even thought that he was in a large gymnasium.
There are luxurious seats all around, even if the spacing between the seats is very spacious, there are thousands of seats placed here, and what is even more surprising is that each seat is full of people, looking at their demeanor and temperament, all of them are people with great status and background.
The auctioneer excitedly called out one cherished item after another, and the bidding amount was often hundreds of millions, and the scene looked extremely hot.
"I think it's illegal to have an underground auction like this." Lilin asked the man beside him with a squint of eyes.
"A crime, of course." Pariston replied crisply.
"So, why do I think that the real boss behind this underground trade fair is actually you?"
“…… Your feelings are not wrong, and in fact, I have never intended to hide them. ”
"The city's supreme enforcer, the greatest messenger of justice, and the boss behind the dark world...... Why am I not surprised at all? Lilin said with a smile on his face. …,
"It's very simple, because where there is light, there must be darkness, and vice versa, and if there is no darkness, what is the use of light."
"There's no darkness...... Isn't there a need for light anymore? Lilin thought thoughtfully.
"That's why I've always believed that if I want to make justice stronger, I must find a way to 'cultivate' more evil and dangerous darkness, and this is how I have always acted."
As he said this, Pariston had a bright smile on his face, like the boy next door.
"I think we're talking about a boring topic...... For me, it's just about doing what you're doing. If it happens to be something you like, then it will be even better. Lilin said indifferently, even though the topic was actually provoked by him.
"Perhaps...... That's why I can compare it with you. Pariston said: "You and I, and Mr. King, who is not here, are actually very similar in some ways, like people who choose to accomplish it in three different ways in order to achieve their goals, and no one knows what will happen in the end until the final result is out." ”
The auction continued in the intermittent conversation between the two, and the items bidding on the stage became more and more rare, more and more unbelievable, and Lilin even felt that the scale and momentum of this auction should not be lower than that of the old traditional Youkexin auction, this Pariston was secretly organizing an old tradition comparable to the one that had ruled the entire world for nearly a hundred years, and he really didn't know what he wanted to do now......
