Chapter 142: Contradiction (2-in-1 Long Chapter)
Even so, Oliver didn't dare to take a few more looks. First, he was not a greedy and lustful person, and second, the strength and mystery of that young man had always deeply shocked him.
"I don't know if Miss Xue came to me alone this time...... It's something. Oliver bowed respectfully.
Under the white moonlight, there were only Oliver and Xue Muyan. Of course, he hadn't eaten it in vain enough to think that Xue Muyan had a good impression of him.
Xue Muyan looked at the dilapidated city in the distance, the moonlight poured out, and she turned her head coldly.
If Zhao Mengxi's coldness is just her protective color, then Xue Muyan's coldness is a kind of coldness from the bones.
If there were people who had seen Xue Muyan in Sandu Ancient Land at this time, they would probably be surprised and unbelievable when they saw her demeanor tonight. Because the woman in front of them who exudes a cold aura from the inside out is too strange to them.
When Xue Muyan was not the head of the Xue family, she, as the image representative of the Xue family, often had to go in and out of various high-class banquets.
With a confident and generous smile on her glamorous face, she gracefully and naturally became the focus of the audience in a gorgeous and bright blue evening dress.
Even if she never deliberately looks at the camera, she is the absolute protagonist.
But only she knows how much she hates these social occasions under the elegant and generous disguise, and how much she hates the obscene voyeuristic gaze of those so-called famous and decent men.
Fortunately, after she became the head of the Xue family, she could finally stop attending the so-called damn banquets. It's just that it seems to be getting more and more lonely.
Until you enter the Inception.
When she looked at Lin Yetian in the carriage in the Sandu Ancient Land, she had a vague feeling of strangeness.
So when Xue Muyan saw Lin Yetian's figure in front of the first door, she was surprised and took the initiative to invite her. She wanted to see what kind of charm the man in front of her had to ride in a carriage with the two princesses of the Zhao family for the first time.
After a series of events, she found that she seemed to have become obsessed with this strange teenager. Even she couldn't tell when she got hooked.
None of that matters anymore. For there was a feeling in her heart that she had never felt before, which she called:
Young love.
Only in front of Lin Yetian will she be like a little girl, she likes to complain and pinch people, and at the same time, she will be jealous because of Lin Yetian chatting with girls.
Other times, she takes off all her disguises, and most of the time she doesn't like to communicate too much with others.
"It's not a bad thing to take it easy. Xue Muyan said softly. "Just, a deal. ”
"Delivery...... Deal?" Oliver looked a little incredulous.
"I know what's going on in your mind, you think that I and the two of you can do most things well without your help, do you?"
Xue Muyan's faint voice reached Oliver's ears, making the latter smile a little embarrassed. That's exactly what he thinks.
After all, these two are even demons that would be afraid of them.
"Even the two of us only have two hands and two feet, and we can't do everything ourselves. Xue Muyan said slowly.
"What's more, there are some things that are not suitable for us to do. ”
Oliver hesitated and didn't speak.
"Most of the time, I've always been kind. There are some things that will only turn a blind eye as long as they don't have any harmful effects on the night sky. ”
Xue Muyan pointed out.
Oliver was shocked, then his eyes dodged, not knowing what to say.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to hold you accountable, I just said that I'm here to make a deal with you. ”
The corners of Xue Muyan's mouth rose slightly, and she slowly turned around.
"I need you, break into the Blood City and lurk, preferably to become a high-ranking official with a head and a face. If there's anything going on, report it to me right away. ”
"In this case, there should be no problem with your ability, right?"
Oliver was stunned for a moment, then asked with some hesitation, "If that's all there is to it...... That's really fine. It's just that...... Why do you have to come to me alone?"
"That's the only way to do it"
Xue Muyan smiled bitterly and shook her head:
"I came to you because there was no other more suitable candidate, you have extraordinary perseverance and great strength, and at the same time have a calm heart...... Most importantly, you're the only one who's ever seen demons and nights. ”
"This means that, out of deterrence, the likelihood of you betraying us will be greatly reduced. Xue Muyan paused, and then spoke again after a while:
"As for why he came to you alone, it must be that he didn't want Yetian to know about it. ”
"Night day he ...... Something kind. Or rather, integrity. Although he usually looks nervous, he is rarely willing to take the initiative to do something that seems cruel to us because of some small things. ”
Xue Muyan recalled the white-robed young man in her memory, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became thicker and thicker.
"Of course, so do I. I've never been used to things like cannibalism or selling my body. Even if it's their own choice......"
"It's just that, for the sake of his safety at night, these kindnesses or prejudices of mine can be completely put aside. After all, there are some shady things that still need someone to do. ”
"And that person, that's you. ”
Xue Muyan said calmly.
Oliver frowned slightly, resisting the urge to speak. Didn't talk much.
"Although it is said that it is just to infiltrate the Blood City and find an opportunity to become a high-ranking official, it is actually not so easy. ”
"For example, if you want to be in a position, you have to have a vacant position. As for the ways and means of vacating it, it's entirely up to you. ”
"It's best if you don't bleed, but if someone doesn't know what to do, threaten your identity. I think you should know how to do it. Even if it's just a civilian. ”
As soon as the words fell, Oliver nodded hurriedly, indicating that he had received it.
He finally understood why Xue Muyan was unwilling to let Lin Yetian know about it. Because according to this assumption, it is indeed very likely that he will have a few more innocent lives on his hands.
Oliver also noticed that whenever it came to Lin Yetian, Xue Muyan's performance would become very ruthless. Of course, not relying too much on emotion, and only in this way can Lin Yetian's interests be protected to the greatest extent.
Xue Muyan pondered for a while and thought about what she wanted to say, and did not speak for the time being. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
"That Miss Xue...... Why did you send me to the City of Blood......? What about the Blue Stone Gate?" Seeing that Xue Muyan didn't speak, Oliver asked.
"Not really. Xue Muyan shook her head frankly, and then her dark eyes were bright, and she slowly turned her back to the moonlight:
"It's just a gut feeling. I feel that there will be some bad things in the recent Blood City...... Something very bad happens and it may affect my layout. Therefore, someone must infiltrate the Blood City as an eyeliner to pass on the required information to me at a critical moment. ”
"Very bad thing...... Is it related to the upcoming Blood Moon?"
"Blood Moon?" Xue Muyan's eyes narrowed slightly. "What's that?"
"Miss Xue...... Don't you know?" Oliver hesitated slightly, and looked at Xue Muyan's puzzled eyes before he recalled that the other party didn't seem to know much about the end of the world, and hurriedly explained:
"The seventh day of the first month of each year is the blood moon. At this time, the moon in the moon sky will turn red, and all mutated creatures and terrifying creatures in the blue realm will stop their activities and come out again after resting for a while. Similar to the hibernation of the original creatures......"
"Judging from the time, it will be the Blood Moon Day in ten days. It's just that before that, all the terrifying creatures and mutated creatures will carry out large-scale riots, looking for food for the winter as reserves. ”
"I thought Miss Xue was talking about this matter......"
Xue Muyan was silent for a while, and slowly shook her head:
"Perhaps, I won't be able to tell what it is for a while. However, it is true that someone needs to be stationed in the Blood City. ”
Oliver nodded, judging from this condition, it didn't seem particularly difficult for him to carry out this task. The only thing that made him a little uncomfortable was that he would probably need to use some shady means to achieve his goals in this operation.
"So, what kind of reward is Miss Xue willing to give me?"
Oliver slowly asked what was most important to him.
"Two hundred boxes of canned meat plus five blue weapons plus a promise. ”
"A promise? What promise?"
"When you're in crisis, we'll do everything we can to save you. ”
Xue Muyan said lightly.
Oliver was silent, and he heard Xue Muyan's words. Since it's 'saving you as much as possible', in other words, it's normal to save you even if you can't save it.
In this way, it seems that Xue Muyan's promise is most likely just a kind of painting cake to satisfy hunger, and it is probably unrealistic to really want to achieve this condition or the condition of this promise.
That's enough for Oliver, though.
Because yes, he had indeed seen the scene of that demon kneeling in front of Lin Yetian. Even with a 1 in 10,000 chance, if the mighty demon did strike, he was almost certain that he would survive.
He took the job.
"Two hundred boxes of canned meat is not enough, at least five hundred boxes, and the blue energy weapons should be changed from five to ten. ”
Oliver said tentatively, although he didn't know about the weapon, he was actually there when the demon cut the prey.
"Seven blue weapons. ”
"Ten. ”
"Seven or eight. ”
“...... Deal. After a moment's thought, Oliver agreed to the decision. Eight blue energy weapons were enough for him to survive well for a while, not to mention that the other party did not refute his request for five hundred boxes.
"So, the deal is done. Xue Muyan said lightly:
"I don't want anyone but you to know about this. Especially at night. ”
"Got it, I'll keep the promise. ”
"Good. As for the other secrets on your body, as long as you pass the information to me in time, no one will know. ”
Xue Muyan said as she spoke, casually pulling open a black open-top curtain around her, and there were piles of canned meat like a hill and four blue energy weapons placed at random.
"Now, these are all yours, and as for the remaining half of the supplies, I will hand them over to you after you have completed the agreement. ”
Hearing this, Oliver couldn't help but smile bitterly. Seeing this full of supplies and four blue energy weapons, he realized that he had already been eaten to death by Xue Muyan.
"I don't need to tell you anything more about the rest of the matter, as an ace elite doomsday warrior, you know better than anyone what to do. ”
Xue Muyan packed up her things and turned around to leave without looking back. For her, this is just a small part of her many plans, and she has other things to do.
Oliver looked at the cans and weapons, sighed softly, put his bags on his back, and silently packed them.
......
The image faded from his memory, and Oliver's consciousness returned to the scene in front of him.
The orderly procession slowly advanced to receive supplies, surrounded by hungry and greedy civilians, but the same could only be silenced by the city guards standing with guns on the side.
Nearly half of the members of the City Guard were sent to the civilian area and to the border
The corners of large places are used as eyeliners, keeping an eye on some civilians who may do something harmful.
For some unknown reason, except for the distribution activities, other ground activities basically stopped, and everyone's focus shifted to the streets, leaving only a few members to stand on the city walls.
Some shadow merchants stood in a dark corner not far away, watching the situation, and some of the city guards tried to drive them away, but were stopped by their companions.
For them, as long as they don't mess up the team, whatever they are, can be considered a stabilizing factor. At this time, more is better than less.
"Mommy's. It's good to be a believer. Lao Tzu's supplies for a month of exhaustion are only five pieces of carrion, and these guys can get these good things without doing anything. ”
A doomsday warrior was indignant. However, there is some truth in his words, and the materials distributed this time are really much more than in the past.
"And the Pope's old bastard, in the name of blessings, I don't know how many girls have been harmed......!
"I think you wish you wanted to replace you, didn't I? I don't understand you yet?"
"Haha, no way. Men are good for this ......"
Several city guards chatted quietly, laughing and playing, and Oliver could see them all.
"What does the ruler of the Blood City think, and if you remove all the Doomsday Warriors and replace them with these people, you are really not afraid of any changes?"
In all fairness, according to the combat qualities of these city guards, an ordinary Doomsday warrior is enough to replace dozens of well-trained city guards.
