Chapter Seventy-Three: The Intercom

"I'm really anxious, Lord Cruel. &26705;&33310;&23567;&35828;&32593;&39318;&21457;&32;&119;&119;&119;&46;&115;&97;&110;&103;&119;&117;&46;&1101;&116;"Cruelty had just been announced, when a soothing and graceful voice rang out: "Why don't you wait for everyone to start again?"

The guests, who had sworn many times that they would never be surprised again, violated the test again, not because of the presence of this voice, but because it sounded right in the middle of the rest area where the guests gathered. Where the voice came from, a group of attendees quickly dispersed, giving way to the person speaking in the center.

The one who spoke was a middle-aged aristocrat, wearing a pair of black boots on his feet, which were polished to the ground. The lower half of the body wears a pair of black trousers, and the sides of the pants are embroidered with gold stripes. She wore a long black gown with gold buttons on the placket and cuffs, a black mandala flower pinned to her chest, and a white shirt with a purple bow tie tied around her neck. He wears a black bowler hat with a round brim on his head, a pure white silk glove on his hand, and a cane made of metal at the top. The middle-aged aristocracy walked through the passage of the crowd to the oval table with the unhurried, elegant and calm steps that belonged to the nobles, leaving only a few frightened noble companions. These companions and middle-aged nobles have also had a friendship of at least five years, so they are relieved to come to the city of innocence to enjoy life together, they really can't imagine that the companions who were talking and laughing like in the past one moment actually have a strange identity the next moment.

The middle-aged nobleman walked to the dining table, with a warm smile, pulled out a chair at random, first took out a light blue silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the seat aside, and then took out another handkerchief and put it on the chair, then sat down calmly, kept an elegant sitting posture with etiquette, and whispered in an unhurried voice: "Long time no see, captains." ”

"It turns out that Grace is here, too. Crazy rested his right elbow on the table, supported his chin with his right hand, and said sideways to Grace, "What a surprise." ”

"Such an important event. How can I not participate?" Grace's every movement and voice were full of elegance: "I'm really sorry, there was a delay on the way, so everyone waited for me." However, the time indicated in the invitation to me was ten o'clock, and punctuality is a gentleman's virtue, so I arrived at ten o'clock, and it should not be too late. ”

As soon as Grace spoke, the pupils of each captain contracted slightly, and for thieves, mystery is the greatest enemy. Enemies of an entity. It is always possible to find its weaknesses for targeted strikes, but for an enemy who does not know his identity, his strength, and his strengths, any search for weaknesses is futile.

"Hasn't the suspicious adults shown up yet?" asked Grace calmly as if she didn't know anything.

"Suspicious adults probably won't be in attendance. "Although several captains maintain a special vigilance against elegance, as legendary powerhouses, they will not be affected by graceful actions at all. Even under the influence of elegance, the movements and language of the people in the rest area have become much more elegant, but several captains do not have any accompanying flowers. Indulgence was still snuggling with amorous feelings, and suddenly said, "So." It's almost time to get started. ”

"Well, since the indulgence of the Lord insisted. Grace nodded elegantly, and every rise and fall of his head was as standard as if he had measured it with a ruler: "Then I'll wait for your performance." ”

――――――――――――

Sure enough, elegance also appeared. The corners of his suspicious eyes twitched. muttered in a low voice: "This time the people are really together." ”

"Don't play with that thing yet. Pannis pinched the bridge of his nose and said in distress, "Let's concentrate on the content first." ”

"But this thing can transmit sound. Lina's eyes flashed with curiosity: "What the hell is it?" ”

"This is actually a kind of intercom. Vivien explained, "Goblin products, the material of the internal structure is very, very peculiar, and it is impossible to replicate it. Those parts are very fragile and can only be preserved until now under very special circumstances. There are only three sets of intercoms. A fourth set was found here. ”

"Shhhhhh Listen carefully, and I don't know what the intention of indulgence and enthusiasm is to prepare this thing. ”

"I'm Joseph, and I'm originally part of Lord Suspicious. Three months ago, Lord Suspicious gave me instructions to send his members outside the guild's underground base to store supplies at a location he had designated. ”

"Sure enough, you are the breakthrough point, no wonder you are in a hurry to hide out. Outside the venue, several people stopped, their eyes fixed on suspicious faces: "Do you want to go in now?"

"There's no hurry. There was no joy or anger in his suspicious eyes, and he shook his head calmly: "Listen to it first." ”

"In this way, since I couldn't find the shadow of the cultist anyway, I suspected that I had stored my supplies. On the intercom, Joseph's voice sounded calm, presumably after countless rehearsals: "I shouldn't have suspected the suspicious adult, but this matter is too suspicious." A month and a half ago, when there was a new batch of supplies to be transported, I sneaked into the sewers with the people who were transporting them, and sure enough, I secretly spied on the cultists who received the supplies, and also saw them kill all the transporters. ”

"As you all know, I was originally a member of the guild, and my professional skills were quite reliable, but I was lucky not to be discovered by those cultists. After I came back, I thought about it for a while, and I felt that I couldn't hide it anymore, so I was going to report the matter to the captains. ”

"Why?" the enthusiastic words were extremely brief, and the rest of the natural indulgence helped her add: "She asked why you felt that you could no longer hide it, and what prompted you to betray your protector?"

"Because I want to live, I'm just sixty-seven years old, and I haven't lived enough. Even through the poor sound quality of the intercom, you can hear the sincerity of Joseph's words: "If this continues, when the incident is over, the suspicious adults will definitely kill me, and I can only save myself." ”

"Reasonable idea. An elegant, graceful and charismatic voice came from the intercom: "Completely understandable. ”

"However, the timing was not right. A voice that spoke for the first time said, a very ordinary voice, like a passer-by, without any characteristics: "If according to what you said, this meeting should have happened a month and a half ago, what made you delay until now?"

"It's curiosity. "Outside the venue. "He seems to be like an innocent and curious child, but in fact he knows everything about it in his heart. And in addition to going out elegant and mysterious, his strength is unknown, he is the person with the highest combat effectiveness among us, and we must be careful if we are on the right side. ”

"I don't know why. Joseph's voice was still calm, and he said without panic: "In order to survive, I immediately reported this information to the two adults in charge of investigating this matter, and the two adults also promised me that they would ensure my safety and investigate this matter. But it wasn't long before I realized that something wasn't right, and the suspicious adults seemed to know about my betrayal. began to target my power in the gaming area, and several of my subordinates who were close to me under the suspicious lord disappeared one after another. ”

Sure enough, the second step was to launch an offensive against the two of them. Suspicious looked at the dark intercom, and said with a sneer: "I didn't expect that Joseph, who usually looks ordinary, is quite bold." ”

"I'm afraid it's because there are other people standing behind him. Catherine was already a little impatient waiting outside the hall, and although she knew something about this kind of intrigue and deceit for educational reasons, she was still extremely disgusted by instinct. I wanted to stay away: "Can't we go in yet?"

"If you really don't mind if the two of them take advantage of you, and don't want to ruin their plans, just wait outside. He replied, "If you want to take revenge on them, go in now." ”

"I don't mind. Catherine said, "But not to the point where you want to take revenge on them." ”

"Then wait a little longer. Pannis reassured Catherine, "Indulgence and enthusiasm have given us this thing." I'm afraid it's up to us to grasp the timing of entry. Hehe, for the captain of the Shadow Hand, this kind of behavior of entrusting victory and defeat to you is also incredible. ”

"Don't comfort me. Catherine scoffed, "I know those two guys are courting, I ......"

Catherine's words were not finished. The intercom rang again.

"What do you mean by that, are you accusing the two of us?" The indulgent voice still sounded so charming, but there was a murderous aura in the charm: "You mean to say." We suppressed the news and revealed it to Suspicious, or do you mean to say that we have been in league with Suspicious from the beginning, and the three of us have been colluding with the cultists since the beginning?"

"What's the hurry, indulge your lordship. There was obvious schadenfreude in the cruel voice: "It's also true that there has been no progress in the tracking work of the two of you in the past month. ”

"Really, do you think so?" The indulgent voice was full of teasing: "It's a pity that the two of us have been laying the net, and it will soon be time to close the net." ”

"Who will prove it?" and there was no anger in the cruel voice: "Is it just your word?"

"That's an interesting question. Indulgent covered his mouth and smiled, and asked in surprise: "When is it also popular to talk about evidence in the city of innocence?"

"Hehe, there's no need to talk about evidence. The cruel laughter suddenly became very eerie, and the voice became muffled: "I forgot to tell you something, the thing in the sewer called the nightmare puppet you know, it was activated, and then it happened that one of my subordinates encountered it, and ran for several days to escape the pursuit, and then narrowly escaped it." By the way, I forgot to mention that while getting rid of the puppet, he seemed to see the nightmare puppet chasing after a team of four people not far away, and he didn't know if the team would survive under the puppet's attack.
