Chapter Eighty-Three: Buying Lives

In the wilderness, the wind is blowing.

Shen Yi stood on the black lightning car, looking at Scarface condescendingly.

His eyes were sympathetic, pitying, angry, and puzzled.

The trench coat fluttered in the strong hunting wind, bringing up a fluttering posture, and after a while, Scarface sighed: "You already knew, right?"

"Yes. Shen Yi replied lightly.

"When?"

"While you return my gear. ”

Scarface flickered: "So early, how could you doubt me at that time?"

"Because you shouldn't have given me back the puppet worm. Shen Yi shook his head and sighed, "You should know that most people in this world will not cherish items that do not belong to them. ”

Scarface froze.

He didn't expect how shocked Shen Yi would be when he saw him return the puppet worm.

As far as Shen Yi was concerned, when he handed the puppet worm to Scarface, he didn't expect Scarface to return it to him.

The degree to which people cherish an object always depends on whether it belongs to them or not. This is like public goods are always not cared for, eating and drinking at public expense is always luxurious, and consumption at public expense is always sky-high...... It's not your own money, and you don't feel sorry to spend it.

Although the value of the golem is not high, it is still obviously helpful for Tina to complete the task, which can further increase her chances of completing the task, and there is no reason for Scarface not to use it. So what made Scarface give up using golem worms?

At that time, Shen Yi could only think of one reasonβ€”unless he already thought it was in his own pocket.

He is saving for himself, not for Shen Yi.

Perhaps in his mind, when the fourteen scattered adventurers united to attack Shen Yi from behind, the Broken Blade team, which had lost its equipment and main manpower, was likely to be wiped out.

It doesn't matter if there are even one or two who are alive, he can kill again...... As a friend, stab in the back.

Then, everything that had been lent to him belonged to him.

Perhaps that's why Scarface finally returns to Rugoin - not too late, but too early. Early enough for him to go to the Royal Prison again, hide in a secret corner, observe everything, and take on the role of mending the knife if necessary......

Of course, all this is Shen Yi's speculation.

He didn't want to doubt Scarface, after all, it was his instructor, who had always helped him, rude, violent, and ruthless, and though he had paid interest for the help he had received, there was always a sense of friendship.

He didn't want to doubt but couldn't help but doubt, from the analysis of the degree of profit after death, from the analysis of the current signs, all the spearheads pointed to Scarface.

Of course, there is one question that doesn't make sense, and that is how Scarface knows the location of the Royal Prison. Since this is the world of the Bloody City, Shen Yi suspects that Scarface should have some kind of prop that can detect the target address. This requires him to find a way to force this prop out.

Therefore, he adopted a series of methods, he first asked Scarface to investigate the four members of the Dragon Tooth Team, and then deliberately ordered Huang Tianyang to hide the location of the spider cave.

In this way, Scarface has a chance to frame Huang Tianyang and them. As long as the location of the spider cave does not appear for a day, Scarface will sooner or later accuse Huang Tianyang of deliberately concealing them - he knows the search direction of Huang Tianyang and the others, and he can know the location of the spider cave. He could always overlap the two points if he wanted to, thus confirming the fact that the Dragonfangs were hiding the location of the spider cave.

That's what Shen Yi wants.

However, Scarface didn't jump out for a long time.

Maybe it was because he felt that this evidence was not enough to confirm that they betrayed Shen Yi, or it could be because the temptation of the spider cave was not great, and it was more likely that he was cautious enough and resolutely unwilling to reveal that he had a fixed astrolabe, anyway, Scarface didn't rush to plant it because of this.

It wasn't until Shen Yi confirmed the plan to hunt Diablo that he began to think that this plan might be a little more radical - to force Scarface with a mission that was about to be snatched away.

Of course, the premise is that Scarface has completed the planting work and confirmed that no one will suspect him anymore.

That note is proof.

At this moment, Shen Yi looked at the note and smiled slightly: "I'm sure the handwriting on this is different from your original handwriting, but what does it have to do with it? This note can't have fallen from Huang Tianyang's body, but only you took it out." You didn't participate in the Scattered Alliance, and if you hadn't betrayed us, you wouldn't have seen the handwriting on that note, let alone copied it...... I only wanted the evidence of the astrolabe, but you sent me one more. ”

As he spoke, the figures of Huang Tianyang and the other four had already appeared in the distance.

Scarface's body shuddered, "They didn't go to the Spider Jungle?"

"Of course I didn't, it had nothing to do with them. Shen Yi replied as a matter of course.

Zong Tang and Ambella were almost crazy.

Everything was happening in front of them so weird, and things were going on and on, that even they couldn't figure out what was going on.

"What the hell is going on, Shen Yi!" Zong Tang roared.

Shen Yi raised his hand to stop: "Don't worry, things have come to this point, and I'm just taking the opportunity to find the person I've been looking for." As for the bloody things you owe, don't worry too much. Lao Meng must be on his way to the spider cave now, and it's useless for you to be in a hurry. It's better to fight the hatred cage with me, and the benefits will be greater. ”

"So you really did all this?"

Shen Yi replied: "Don't talk nonsense about things without evidence, what I want to remind you is that if you insist on me, it means that we can no longer cooperate with each other." I can leave the hate cage alone, and you can do it yourself. ”

"You!" Zong Tang and Ambella gasped at the same time. They were almost certain that all of this was masterminded by Shen Yi, but now that their fate was hanging in the balance, they could only bow their heads after all. Instead of believing that Shen Yi was responsible for all this, it is better to anesthetize himself and make himself believe that he didn't do it, at least there will be fewer obstacles in future cooperation.

Shen Yi said to Scarface: "Find a place to talk, just you and me." ”

―――――――――――――

On a fort in Cui Fanke Fortress, Shen Yi and Scarface sat opposite each other, and there was some wine and meat in the middle.

Not far from them, Hong Lang King Kong and the others stared at Scarface and refused to relax, Zhou Yiyu held the steering wheel tightly, and the car was always in a low roar.

Shen Yi raised his wine glass and saluted Scarface: "This glass of wine is to thank you for helping me in the first place." !"

Drink it all.

Scarface smiled bitterly and drank the wine as well, before wiping his mouth and saying, "I know what you're asking, do you think I'm hurting you for those pieces of equipment?"

"Yes, but I don't think it's enough. ”

"Why? They add up to a lot of money. ”

"Because the risk is too great. You know I'm not someone to be fooled around, and the scattered adventurers aren't sure they will win. I mean...... In fact, this kind of harmful way is not advisable, it is not counted, and it has to be said to be a bit stupid. ”

"Stupid indeed...... If it weren't for stupidity, how could I have done such a stupid thing. Scarface smiled wryly. He drank another glass of wine, then lit a cigarette for himself, leaned against the fortress wall and looked at Shen Yi: "You are the most outstanding newcomer I have ever seen. When I was your novice instructor, I was already a veteran in the ordinary area, but after only a few months, you have already risen to my level, and you are on an equal footing with me, with a team, you can kill the strongest blood piercing in the ordinary area, and kill Xie Rongjun in an instant......"

When he said this, his tone was noticeably higher, and his tone became agitated: "I've been living in the bloody city for a year and a half! I haven't seen anyone in the past eighteen months? But none of them are as fast as you. ”

"I've brought countless newcomers, and I've even seen other great newcomers before you, but none of them have behaved as outrageously as you! You caught up with me, you know? I used to be your instructor! I used to hit you all over the ground with one hand, and you can play as much as you want. But now that you and I are on the same mission, I even have to ask you for help! Do you know what that means?!"

Shen Yi looked at Scarface with calm eyes: "Psychologically unbalanced?"

"Yes!" Scarface admits dryly, "I can't think of it, is it? I'm jealous of you......"

He leaned in front of Shen Yi and stared at him with dead eyes: "I'm jealous of you, just like a guy who finally climbed to the position of director, and suddenly found that a small civil servant who was under his feet a few months ago climbed to the position of mayor overnight, and he actually had to live on the other party's snort! Do you know how big the gap and pain in your heart are?"

"I don't know, I've never had this experience. ”

"Yes, of course you won't, only you catch up with others, only you bring psychological pressure to others......" Scarface laughed.

He poured himself another sip of wine: "After I went back that day, looking at these equipment that I had never gotten before, thinking about your development and changes, I was very unwilling. ”

"You can join my team. ”

"Yes, I know, but I don't want to do that!If I wanted to join someone's team, I'd already be in it, so why wait for you?!" Scarface pointed to his chest, "I'm not willing to be subservient by nature, I don't want to do things at anyone's command." However, I also knew that I did not have the qualifications and ability to lead others, so I was destined to go it alone. ”

Shen Yi said lightly: "This is a group society, sometimes the strength of individuals is insignificant, and the strength of being able to unite others is more important." ”

"Yes, you're right, but that's what I'm by nature, I'm arrogant, so I don't want to join you. On the other hand, I want to see you fail and perish. Destroying such a brilliant adventurer as you is an unmatched allure for me. When I stand on your corpse, I will say to you: Look, this is you, a newcomer, and even though you used to mix well, so what? In this bloody world, only living a long time is true success......" Scarface said loudly, his words were heard clearly by everyone in the distance, and then Scarface looked at Shen Yi leisurely: "This is what I want to say to you." ”

"Just for a moment's pleasure?"

"Just for a moment's pleasure. ”

Shen Yi was silent.

After a while, he said, "I guess you don't want to die either." ”

"Is it possible for you to let me go?"

"Of course, you are my instructor anyway. ”

"Come on. Scarface smirked disdainfully, "You're not that kind of person, I know." I hurt you, and even your teammates...... If it weren't for that little girl. There's no way you're going to let me go. ”

"I'm more concerned about preserving myself than killing my enemies. If giving up the grudge would give me more benefit, I would do it. That's the biggest difference between me and you, I don't do things with emotion, instructor. Shen Yi said word by word: "How much money are you willing to pay to buy your own life?"
