Book IV, 91: The Price to Pay

It's hard to imagine that there will be policemen who can arrive at the scene of the accident in time*, these guys who are as slow as a snail in the impression of common sense always have to wait until the dust settles to be late, and they do the work of cleaning up the aftermath.

However, when it happened tonight on the side of the Rose Garden Square, it arrived unusually in time.

Almost as the dust was falling, a large number of police cars poured out from all over the road, quickly surrounding the scene of the accident.

The people who came down from above began to methodically pull up a fence around the crater and erect warning lights to block the ordinary people who had gathered around the periphery because they saw the building collapse. The reasons for its explanation are very detailed, such as the explosion of dilapidated houses, the explosion of underground gas pipes, and the explosion of sinkholes, etc., anyway, there is always one that can meet the imagination of the people.

"I'm rubbing, is there any need to cooperate so well, just get rid of them, you guys happened to appear, and thought of the excuse for the aftermath, there is no greasy in this, and even the ghost doesn't believe it" Chen Xi looked at their meticulous steps, and couldn't help but complain, obviously, all this was prepared in advance.

He calculated the time, and estimated that as early as the time when the melee entered the white heat, the police forces along the district were notified to start dispatching, and then they could arrive in time during this time period. But that's not the point, the point is that along with the actions of these policemen, Gubernard and a dozen of his subordinates have entered the building that is surrounded by prohibition.

"Sure enough, there are other arrangements after our bait and the amount of support on the surface. These people should only make a move after we have attracted enough aliens, intending to catch them all, in other words, we who have not yet joined the Holy Communion are all bait and cannon fodder. ”

Chen Xi was not much surprised in his heart, he had already thought of the other party from Gu Bernard's previous personality and behavior.

The person who can go to a high position, the one who will not have a little black belly, let alone the one who has an unforgettable hatred for the alien. From the beginning, the practice of binding them with the Holy Emblem revealed the flavor of acting unscrupulously. Such people would naturally think that these church thugs were obviously more free and flexible in their covert operations than the police and chengguan officers, who were easily surveilled.

It is estimated that after receiving the plan from here. They had already arranged for people to cover up and only close the doors of the church. Externally, it is a closed group prayer, and the rest is to secretly rush through the underground passages that extend in all directions.

According to their plan to arrange behind their own people's backs, they must want to use this part of the manpower as the overwhelming force of the most reluctant to carry out the town, if there is a backhand on the alien side. This part of the force can be dispatched to crush their plot. It's a pity that he made such a big fuss. But it had to show up early.

"I guess this person must be very worried about how to take responsibility for this time now."

Looking at the man at the head of him, his face had become cloudy because the arrangement had been ruined. Chen Xi did not have the burden of a spoiler, but said as if taking credit: "Your Excellency, the matter has been all done. All of them were buried in the ground, and none of them escaped. ”

His focus is here, how to make the impact of the incident not so bad, and the camp is less buckled, the key is the recognition of this big man Gu Bernard. As long as the incident is characterized as necessary, the consequences will not be so troublesome. What's more, there is no clear evidence at all that he made it, at most those who know it are well known, and those who don't know it are inexplicable.

At this time, as Chen Xi thought, Gu Bernard was thinking about how to deal with the matter in front of him.

There is no way, there is such a big event that cannot be contained in the operation, everyone has a headache, a building is destroyed, and even the ordinary people inside are killed and injured countless times, even if he is the archbishop of the Holy Communion, he feels hot. This is different from the nature of the last big fight in the block, which is both an accident and a passive response, and it can completely shift the blame to the other. Now it is the trap set by his own side, and as a result, there are such big mistakes, omissions and implications, and people who are not responsible can't say anything about it.

And even a fool can see in front of him, all the people sent are buried under this, only Chen Xi is safe and sound, there must be a huge problem inside, even if all this is not caused by Chen Xi, who will be the leader, and the responsibility for the accident must be put on Chen Xi and be a substitute for the dead.

However, hearing Chen Xi's statement of inviting merit, Gu Bernard was completely surprised by what this kid wanted to do, could he have already seen my plan, and he was going to bite me later?

If it weren't for the fact that there were many people around, he would have considered whether he would have ended up with this kid on the spot, so he wouldn't have to wait for nonsense.

Gu Bernard's mind was racing, and he immediately took himself off this matter by shouting angrily: "You are so bold, you actually killed all the people who supported you this time, and you dare to stand here when you see us coming!" ”

The momentum on his face was so strong that he almost didn't ask someone to take down Chen Xi on the spot.

However, Chen Xi's attitude was very strange, and he didn't seem to take the threat in Gu Bernard's words into account at all, and still said unhurriedly: "Presumably, Your Excellency the Archbishop also knows how strong the other party is this time, if it weren't for this accident, even if His Excellency the Archbishop personally led the team, don't want to leave all these people behind, and"

Chen Xi said this, looked at the pretending Gu Bernard with a smile, and asked a heart-wrenching question: "Presumably, before His Excellency the Archbishop came, he should have known what the identities of these people who appeared this time were." The reason why I didn't reveal it is probably the same as me, I want to use controllable chaos to lure out the manpower of the different arrangement, and even use me and the support manpower as bait, but I and my helpers are more skilled, and I left them all one by one without waiting for you to make a move. ”

Chen Xi will not treat others as fools, especially the Holy Communion House, which is very powerful both on the surface and in potential. Even at first he was confused by the letters he manipulated the orangutan to write. But when these latter people act in tandem, the Anglican Shrine, which has a broad base of believers, always has a way to know what the real goal of this part of the people is.

The reason why Chen Xi really had the confidence to continue this plan was that he also knew that the implementation of this plan would be of great benefit to the Holy Father.

First, they also want to draw out the outliers.

There is no need for Chen Xi to elaborate on this aspect, the previous successive setbacks and the [Seven Deadly Sins] announcement of the self-destructing Duo Hunting Demon as if it were a doomsday prophecy can all show that these aliens hiding in the shadows are engaged in a very big conspiracy, so finding out the clues is obviously the first priority of the Holy Father's Office.

Second, they want to eliminate the unsafe hidden dangers in Fieldland.

As the chief boss of the Holy Communion in Field Land, Gu Bernard is very distrustful of unorganized witchers, and it is not only Chen Xi who can see this from his emotional reaction. The practice of arranging emblems for control also reveals this message. Presumably he knew that these guys were just in it for money. When you can hack a witcher who joins ZF on the surface, you have already considered another possibility.

Will they also become accomplices to the aliens for money, both directly and indirectly?

And thirdly, they probably want to pass this operation. Find out the right talent who can join the Holy Communion, Uncle Li said well. What is the most expensive. Talent, and war is always the best stage for the good to stand out, and daring to give up the emblem of the Knights of St. John has already shown this intention to them.

After these two days of understanding. Chen Xi already knew that in history, there had never been more than 300 official members of the Knights of St. John, and now more than 200 and close to 300 official emblems were given at one time. In this war against aliens, the dead guys are naturally cannon fodder with no existence value, and those who survive are the real members of the Knights of St. John.

In Chen Xi's view, these three points are not only the basis for him to have no fear to brush up his scores, but also the steps for him to escape the biggest punishment of the camp point, and even further gain the trust of Gu Bernard.

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Looking at the gaze in Chen Xi's eyes that seemed to have seen everything, Gu Bonar's heart suddenly sank, and a feeling of frustration arose. It seems that in front of him, every step he takes can't escape the control of the other party.

"But, I can easily pinch this kid to death!"

Gu Bernard shouted in his heart unwillingly, but in terms of action, he broke away the men he brought with him, allowing them to block the scope of the pit and prevent the survivors from escaping.

Although there was no systematic prompt to know that only thirty-two rewards had been given to the total of more than seventy people, and more than half of them were still alive, he would not simply think that the collapse of just one building would bury all the demon hunters and evolutionaries. Compared to Chen Xi's last mission, he could safely avoid the collapse just by relying on the electromagnetic protective shield and finding a solid support structure, in this world, the average strength of demon hunters and evolutionaries is stronger, and naturally more people can survive.

Chen Xi didn't disturb Gu Bernard's actions to break away from others, and only after the others left did he say: "I want to say that it is more useful for you to leave me, and what is happening now is enough to prove it." ”

"But you've ruined my hope of killing them all, and you've made such a big deal out of it, it's impossible for no one to take care of the consequences this time!" Gu Bernard asked loudly, his eyes wide open, but compared to the calmness shown by Chen Xi, it seemed that he was somewhat violent.

Facing the archbishop who was powerful enough to easily control his own destiny, Chen Xi still talked unhurriedly: "How much effort do you think they (aliens) will put into it?" ”

"Compared to you, I'm not greedy" Chen Xi's soothing voice revealed a different kind of power, "At the beginning of planning this operation, I just thought about borrowing a knife to kill people, and I didn't think about being able to pull them out at all, yes, it's my luck, no, it doesn't matter, anyway, I have already achieved my goal, after this time, there should be no witcher who will accept Romax's commission to come to me for trouble." ”

That unusually calm attitude actually made Gu Bernard feel inexplicably jealous: "Why don't I have this kind of general style who can control the situation in his hands, but I have repeatedly suffered setbacks in the face of those outliers." ”

To be honest, Gu Bernard was already a little moved by what Chen Xi said, compared to his own decline in the competition with the aliens, he hoped that a smart person could help him avoid making mistakes again.

Before that, though, he had one of the most important problems that he hadn't solved.

Compared with the benefits that may be brought in the future after accommodating Chen Xi, it is more practical and more important to yourself how to take the consequences of this responsibility in the present. After all, who knows if he can stay in Feldland as an archbishop after carrying the consequences of this time.

Therefore, Goebnard finally asked, "But it is all for your good, but it requires me to take all the responsibility on my shoulders, and you must give me a reason why I can make this choice." ”

As he spoke, the surface of the scepter he held in his hand was already flashing with a white light. Obviously, if Chen Xi's answer is not correct, he will induce the power inside the Holy Emblem to vaporize this guy from the world, Chen Xi has already shown his terrible through the facts of what happened, and it is too dangerous to leave this kind of guy who can only be a teammate and not an enemy. Even Gu Bernard has already considered that about the "helper" in Chen Xi's words, after killing this guy, he will solve it together.

Of course, as we who are familiar with most of Brother Chen's situation, even as teammates, Brother Chen is a rather dangerous guy. (To be continued......)
