Volume 46 Conditions
Filia woke up.
Instinctively raising her hand to protect her eyes that had not touched the light for a long time, Filia was still in a trance for a while.
"You're awake. โ
A cold male voice pulled Filia back into the real world. As if awakened from a nightmare, Filia sat up from her bed.
"Everson!"
"If you're looking for your husband. Lin Ye, who was originally reclining on the inside of the ward door, straightened up, and pointed to her side while taking a step towards Filia: "I haven't woken up yet." He's in a much worse condition than yours, but he's managed to save a life. โ
Turning her head in the direction she was pointing, Filia found her husband lying on his back on another hospital bed not far from her. Although he was wearing a ventilator on his face and his body was full of tubes, his regular heaving chest undoubtedly confirmed the other party's statement.
"Arrange us in the same room......" The big stone in her heart fell to the ground, Filia moved her body for a moment, and then looked up in astonishment, looking directly at Lin Ye's eyes with a little playfulness: "Moreover, there are no even the most basic restraint measures." Aren't you afraid that our husband and wife will join forces and repeat the same trick again?"
"I'm not going to leave here another step until I pry your mouths open. Standing still in front of Filia's bed, Lin Ye seemed completely indifferent to her provocation: "Of course, if you think you can do it, you can try it." โ
"Huh. Rare that there was no riposte, Filia's gaze fell back to her legs wrapped under the sheets, and Lin Ye didn't seem to be in a hurry to speak.
"Don't bother thinking about how to interrogate me. For a long time, Filia, who raised her head again, didn't look at Lin Ye. Tilting his head, he smiled at her husband who seemed to be asleep: "I will tell you everything you want to know...... But I have one condition. โ
"Why do you think you are still qualified to negotiate terms with me?"
"If I didn't want to, you would never get any information from me. If you don't believe it......" Turning her face to look at Lin Ye, Filia picked the corners of her mouth, raised her chin to reveal her white neck: "If you have any means, you can try it now." โ
"Tell me about it. Pulling a chair from the end of the bed, Lin Ye was noncommittal: "I'm listening." โ
"Then I'll take you as a promise. Putting the pillow up behind her, Filia found a more comfortable position for herself: "It's very simple, in fact, my conditions are also beneficial to you. After a pause, Filia seemed to weigh her words before continuing, "I'll give you all the information you want, but you're going to have me and Everson join you. โ
"You and him, join us?" Hearing this, Lin Ye was stunned, and Lin Ye even thought that he had misheard, "Why...... No, I should say, why do you think I would accept such a ridiculous condition?"
"Although our original goal was indeed to assassinate Qing Ruolan. With an expression that anticipated the other party's reaction, Filia responded with a long time: "But we didn't succeed. And, although you and I were enemies before, strictly speaking, it was just a confrontation formed by the nature of the work and the angle from which we stand, and it did not carry any personal enmity, did it?"
No response.
Lin Ye neither agreed nor refuted. But it undoubtedly gave Filia the courage and encouragement to continue.
"In that case, why can't we work together? Complete and detailed information, and you provide us with shelter, and everyone takes what they need. It's the best thing for you and for me, isn't it?"
"With your strength, it should be very easy to find an organization that is willing to accept you. Lin Ye looked directly into the other party's eyes: "As you said, you really didn't directly kill our people. With that, as long as the information you provide is true and valid, then I can promise to let you go afterwards. But speaking of joining us......" Shaking his head slightly, Lin Ye didn't speak again, but the look on his face already said everything.
"So, the deal failed?" Philia turned her gaze out the window, "So, now you can try to pry my mouth open." โ
"If it's just to get you to speak, I'll do it by threatening to unplug your husband's oxygen tube. โ
"You dare!"
Lin Ye's tone was flat, but extremely effective. Hearing this, she turned around, and Filia's eyes were resentful, like a lioness who wanted to choose someone to devour, but found that the other party was still sitting in place without any movement.
"But I'm still a little curious, why I just refused the request to let you in, and you would rather put on the appearance that you were ready to endure any torture and pain than give me what I wanted, and leave with your husband?"
"Because if Everson and I leave like that, it's like death. The words were put in a row by Lin Ye, and Filia glared at the other party hatefully: "Because you don't understand, you don't understand Aยท How scary is S...... Especially for the betrayer. โ
"More or less, I've dealt with you a bit before. Lin Ye shook his head, feeling that the other party was exaggerating: "Although it did suffer a lot of dark losses at the beginning, the premise of all this is based on the situation of unequal information. It is undeniable that your overall strength is far stronger than ours. But averages aside, as long as I'm here, you're never going to be able to take advantage of anything anymore, are you?"
"That's why I say it's because of your interest in Aยท S knows nothing to be able to say such ignorant and fearless words. Looking at each other, Filia even had a little pity in her eyes: "Aยท The situation of the S is actually similar to yours, both with terrifyingly powerful terminals. The difference is that you're the only one on your side, while Aยท S like you...... There are even seven beings that are even more powerful than you. โ
"Do you mean that the two who were in the hospital a few days ago include the two you were talking about?"
"Yes, they are the wrath and gluttony of the Seven Sins Sect, respectively. As if recalling something, Filia turned her head to look at her husband's chest, which had already been bandaged with snow-white gauze, and her eyes were full of pity and anger: "Aยท The existence at the top of S, the strength is unmatched. โ
"But from what I've done with them, they're not as terrible as you say......"
"Arrogance, jealousy, lust, greed, laziness, anger, gluttony are the seven sins. Interrupting Lin Ye's words, Filia raised her head, knowing that if she wanted to convince the other party, then she would have to throw some chips: "Each of them has the ability corresponding to the title. Because their strength is too strong, if they remain in full bloom for a long time, it will cause great load and damage to their flesh. Therefore, on weekdays, their strength is suppressed to a minimum level by a small device called a 'scale compass', which is about 18% to 20% of their true strength, and the value varies from person to person. And when they encounter an opponent who is enough to face up, they will fully unleash their abilities. And this release is collectively known as 'True Name Liberation'. โ
"You're really strong, so strong that I don't think Aang would be able to defeat you even if he used his real name. But in the same way, he will definitely not be an opponent who will allow you to be distracted and take care of others. As long as Ange entangles you, then, the remaining one will be enough to crush all of you, and then cut off Qing Ruolan's head in front of you. โ
"And then you'll regret that you turned us down today. โ
