Chapter 33: Whether to pay or not to pay

Zhao Shouquan played the second largest group of elders in the Afterlife Pavilion like a child, which caused the dissatisfaction of the elders of the elders, and in the chaotic whispers, the old man who interviewed me slowly walked down the steps, and the other elders saw him coming out, and immediately stopped the discussion, and suddenly the entire thirteenth floor was silent.

"Elder Long, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." Zhao Shouquan smiled and twisted his cigarette, "I will definitely give you face." ”

Elder Long was obviously the leader of the Council of Elders, he slowly moved in front of Zhao Shouquan, and his voice was loud: "It stands to reason that the affairs of your Yin Yang Hall are not under the control of my Elder Council, but Elder Fire is a member of my Council of Elders, and you should not forget what happened to Mo Yu back then, I don't want the things of that year to happen again, and I don't want to affect the unity within the Afterlife Pavilion......"

"Oh, can you just say it?" Zhao Shouquan patted my head impatiently, I glared at him, but he smiled to himself: "Since Long Lao remembers Brother Mo's affairs, are you afraid that he will be released?" ”

Long Lao's face changed slightly, and in an instant, he changed back to his original state, and said: "Don't talk about it here, before Huolianshan disappeared yesterday afternoon, Chen Jihe used the intelligence organization of the Afterlife Pavilion to obtain information and location from Huolianshan, and then Huolianshan disappeared, there would be such a coincidence in the world?" My people found a female corpse in the warehouse in the northern suburbs, it should be the food of Huolianshan, who killed Huolianshan, and then destroyed the corpse? ”

Zhao Shouquan raised his head and met Elder Long's gaze, "How do I know?" ”

"Really?" Elder Long walked around us in a circle and said, "Someone saw your Land Rover in the northern suburbs yesterday. ”

Hearing this, my hand paused slightly, and when I raised my eyes, I saw that Elder Long was looking at me, I quickly lowered my head and continued to beat Zhao Shouquan's thigh.

Zhao Shouquan pondered for a few seconds, "Oh? I haven't been to the northern suburbs. ”

"What if you've been?" Elder Long's tone was slightly provocative.

"Produce evidence."

"Good!"

Elder Long turned around and waved his hand, and said to an elder next to him, "Go and bring the witnesses and the video taken to show Deputy Hall Master Zhao." ”

The elder who went to get the video walked behind me, and I wondered, why did Zhao Shouquan refute them that he hadn't been to the northern suburbs? If you really take out the video, wouldn't you be at a loss for words? Do you have to change your tune and say that you are going shopping over there?

I don't know what Zhao Shouquan thinks, but I can deeply feel my helplessness, because I am not strong enough to grasp the right to speak in this dangerous circle, whether it is Ke'er or Chen Jihe, I can't do anything.

I am like a duckweed floating on the water, wandering leisurely, rootless and groundless.

Elder Long turned to Zhao Shouquan's face, bent down slightly, and said, "Deputy Hall Master Zhao, I don't think you understand the importance of this matter, this is the thirteenth floor, if there is no consent from above, will our elders dare to see you here?" ”

Zhao Shouquan was silent.

"Huolianshan's life card hasn't fallen yet, which means that he is still alive, as long as you hand it over, I promise that this incident will not involve anyone, and it will be treated as if it never happened, okay?"

I looked at Zhao Shouquan, Elder Long's proposal was very tempting, if Zhao Shouquan agreed, I could completely release the soul of Huolian Mountain from the Rakshasa Array, it was not difficult for him to condense his body again, and with the help of the Elders, wouldn't it be the best result for everyone to be safe?

It's a pity that Zhao Shouquan didn't listen to Elder Long's words at all, and slapped the back of my head fiercely, saying, "Don't you have any strength in your hands?" Haven't eaten? ”

I was unhappy, but when I saw his knife-like eyes, I immediately understood that he was reminding me not to be seen as flawed.

I lowered my head tightly and tapped his leg quickly.

"Deputy Hall Master Zhao, do you think my proposal is good?"

Zhao Shouquan didn't seem to hear Elder Long's words, he just didn't respond to his words, the two looked at each other, and after three or four minutes, Zhao Shouquan slowly spoke: "Elder Long, can I ask why?" ”

"What?"

"The disappearance of Elder Huolian Mountain, what are you making such a big fuss for?"

This time, it was Elder Long's turn to be silent, and after a while, he said, "Because he is a member of the Council of Elders." ”

"Oh, then I see."

“......”

“......”

I couldn't understand what the two people were talking about, but they were silent with each other, the cold air echoed on the thirteenth floor, and the faint candle flame reflected Zhao Shouquan's side face, with a hint of evil in the melancholy.

After squatting for a long time, my waist and legs were sore, but the two of them stared at each other in a stalemate, and I didn't dare to move without permission, so I could only endure it in agony.

After about ten more minutes, I finally sat down on the ground with my ass overwhelmed.

"Bang."

The loud voice shook the quiet thirteenth floor, Zhao Shouquan and Elder Long moved at the same time, Elder Long took a step back, and Zhao Shouquan changed his leg and crossed it.

"Let's go." Elder Long said.

Zhao Shouquan frowned and said, "What about my people?" ”

"You still want to save her?"

"I'm just asking."

Elder Long said, "Before Huolian Mountain appears, she must be under our control, and you can react upwards if you have ideas. ”

Zhao Shouquan suddenly stood up, lifted me from the ground, and said, "Elder Long, since this is the case, then I will leave first." ”

Elder Long said, "Vice Hall Master Zhao, this is how the game begins?" ”

"Here we go."

Zhao Shouquan dragged me out of the thirteenth floor, the candles on both sides began to go out one after another, and when I entered the elevator, Zhao Shouquan's figure suddenly withered, and a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, I hurriedly supported him, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Shouquan covered his chest, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and said, "It's okay, let's go, go back to the villa." ”

Leaving the world banquet, going out to take a car Zhao Shouquan took me back to the villa area, as soon as he entered the door, he fell on the sofa and scolded: "Ghost old man, I didn't expect you to be so powerful!" ”

"What's wrong with you two?"

Zhao Shouquan said: "You didn't use your witch eyes to know, the collision of souls, but you didn't hit that ghost old man, fortunately, Lao Tzu just got the treasure to improve his soul, otherwise he would have been killed!" ”

I remembered that when I fought with Huolian Mountain yesterday, Zhao Shouquan said that he was no longer the same person he used to be, and I thought it was because of some adventures in the past two days.

I poured him a glass of water and asked, "What are you two talking about today?" I don't seem to understand, do I? ”

Zhao Shouquan drank a glass of water, his breathing gradually evened out, and said: "This time it was the Elders' Association who miscalculated, they thought that they could bluff Lao Tzu and grandma with the thirteenth floor of the World Banquet!" I'm almost going to ask you to hand over Huolianshan. ”

"Why don't you give it to them?"

"Silly, look at Elder Long's appearance, he has been deceiving me since he entered the door, and he has returned the video, and the people who have no certificates are all inducing Lao Tzu to hand over Huolian Mountain! I can see it, Huolian Mountain must have a particularly important item on his body, otherwise just a non-dead elder will never be able to provoke the people on the third floor to cooperate with the Elders, you find a secret place to interrogate him tonight, and you must find out what it is for me! ”

I pondered slightly, "Are you gambling with Chen Jihe's life?" Didn't you say men should be calm? ”

Zhao Shouquan's eyes were like knives, and he said sharply: "Those who become big things are not informal, this is the most calm way, the items that can alarm the third floor of the Death Pavilion must be a sky-high treasure!" If we hand over the Fire Mountain, we will have a reputation for betrayal, and do you think the Presbyterian group will really let us go? Do you know what betrayal is in the Pavilion of the Dead? A thousand cuts, never superborn!

On the other hand, if we get the item in Huolianshan's hands, even if it is really exposed one day, this item can save our lives, and even ...... There is also the possibility of taking out the key items of the Presbyterian Church! ”

I looked at Zhao Shouquan, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be a conspirator, a behind-the-scenes operator, and I couldn't help but wonder if I was part of his conspiracy.

He wanted to kill the Council of Elders...... I don't think the upper echelons of the Afterlife Pavilion nor the Council of Elders themselves know about this.

I hesitate and don't know whether to help him, if it wasn't Chen Jihe who was taken away by the Elders today, but me, would Zhao Shouquan give up on me like this?

Thinking of the glint in Chen Jihe's eyes every time he saw Zhao Shouquan, and even when he mentioned Zhao Shouquan, she admired him extremely much, if she knew that Zhao Shouquan abandoned her in the hands of the Elders for the sake of what Huo Lianshan had in his hands, would she be sad?

"Three fires." Zhao Shouquan greeted me and said, "When you go to work tonight, if someone comes to look for you, you must not go with them, and remember not to leave the Death Pavilion!" ”

As soon as he said it, I suddenly remembered my mother-in-law's crutches, and hurriedly told him what happened the night before, and when I heard the crutches appear, Zhao Shouquan sat up from the sofa suddenly, glared at me and said, "Are you sure it's Aunt Meng's crutches?" ”

I nodded, "Sure!" ”

"If you see him next time, will you recognize him?"

"It should work."

"Okay, you are guarding in the Pavilion of the Afterlife, he will definitely appear, and when the time comes, you will stop him, and say that you have business to do with him, and it is best to ask for a contact information."

I looked at Zhao Shouquan's excited expression and said in fear: "Are you going to kill him?" ”

Zhao Shouquan glanced at me and didn't speak.

I felt a feeling of nausea in my heart, feeling that Zhao Shouquan's body exuded the smell of blood, thick and pungent, he was more terrible than I imagined, more bloodthirsty than I imagined.

When it was night, Zhao Shouquan fell asleep on the sofa, and I walked out of the villa, looking at the thick and gloomy sky, wondering if I should go to the Council of Elders and hand over Huolian Mountain to them to rescue Chen Jihe.

I don't know if it's right or wrong to help Zhao Shouquan, and I don't understand that he is a good person or a bad person.

Leaving the villa area, I didn't take a taxi, and after three streets, I squatted in a corner, took out Zhao Shouquan's remaining half of a box of cigarettes in my pocket, lit one, and a spicy sense of satisfaction wrapped around my lungs.

Fire and Mountain, to hand over or not to pay?
