Chapter 56: Counterattack (1)

In the desolate land of Los Angeles, there are two more graves.

It belonged to Kyoshi XII and Lu De.

Although these two people had tried to work against him, Shen Yi still let them die, even if it seemed so far away.

They used cigarettes instead of incense and planted them in front of their graves.

Not far away stood Kyleris, who couldn't understand the actions of these adventurersโ€”they fought side by side and killed each other, and then they died.

At the same time, he couldn't understand Marcus, who was so good, could suddenly become a machine.

Shen Yi put his hand in his trouser pocket, his windbreaker hunting under the strong wind, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if waiting for something.

King Kong stood beside Shen Yi, looked at the two graves, and muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity." โ€

It's a pity.

The death of the two adventurers, Zhou Yiyu and the monk left, which greatly reduced the strength of the adventurer team, and the next fourth round of pursuit, if there is no accident, they will only have to flee.

"Do you know what I think?" Hong Lang said suddenly, "Maybe they didn't really die, maybe they just returned to the world they once had, were erased from their memories and abilities, and then continued to live like an ordinary ordinary person." Maybe death is not real death, but just a relief. โ€

Gentle glanced at Hong Lang with some surprise: "When did you become so philosophical?"

Hong Lang shrugged: "It's just a kind of self-consolation for people who are afraid of failure and death." If one day, I'm going to die, then at least I can use this reason to comfort myself before I die, telling myself not to be afraid, it's just a game, and now that the game is over, I can finally go home. โ€

Shen Yi said leisurely: "Are you suggesting to me that if one day I leave the bloody city and return to Earth, I will find that I am just a decomposing corpse under the loess mound?"

Everyone laughed.

The laughter diluted the gloom, and made everyone's bad mood somewhat better because of the loss of strength and the leakage of information.

After laughing, Shen Yi looked at everyone: "Has anyone figured out why I want Zhou Yiyu to leave?"

King Kong shook his head: "I still can't figure it out." All I know is that the battle between us and the Bloodpiers is like a game of cards. Once a certain side's cards are seen by the other side, it becomes passive. Even if we have new hole cards in the future, we can't replace the parts that have already been exposed...... The more good hands the better, isn't it?"

Shen Yi laughed: "If it is a two-person fight, of course, it is necessary to cover the cards in your hand as tightly as possible, it is best not to be seen by the other party, and you have to desperately look at the other party's cards." In this case, it can be very problematic for one side to expose most of its hand. It's a pity that this is not a two-person duel, but a multi-person battle. The biggest mistake you made was to mistakenly think that without the betrayal of others, our strength would not be exposed, but you have forgotten one thing. โ€

"What?"

Shen Yi sighed: "I remember telling you that Xie Rongjun also has reconnaissance skills. โ€

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

That's right.

In the bloody city, when Shen Yi went to inform Xie Rongjun about his brother's death, he used mental probing on Xie Rongjun, but Xie Rongjun called out his city number. This fully shows that Xie Rongjun also has exploration skills, and he can see some of the details of the other party.

The problem arises.

Since Xie Rongjun has the ability to investigate, why did he have to go to such great lengths to get Shen Yi's information at any cost?

You must know that Shen Yi did this because his spiritual detection skills were blocked by the Blood Thorn Team, so he couldn't detect others. There is no ability to seal the opponent's detection skills in the 641 team, and the Assassin Blood team does not have to pay such a high price.

But he still did it, and he was more generous than Shen Yi, and his momentum was much greater.

Looking at everyone's stunned faces, Shen Yi pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, there is never any news in the world that is airtight. Even if we don't have Xie Rongjun's detection skills, we have cooperated with other adventurers in the first two missions, and as long as Xie Rongjun has a heart, we will always find some news. Therefore, Xie Rongjun's purpose in doing this, or the biggest purpose, is not to collect information. โ€

"What's that for?" King Kong asked hurriedly.

There was a hint of helplessness in Shen Yi's eyes: "What else can it be for? Look at what happened just now, don't you still understand? That is exactly what Xie Rongjun wanted...... He's actually making enemies for us everywhere!"

Xie Rongjun's bounty order seems to be just a way to obtain the information of the 641 team on the surface, but it is secretly hiding another killing machine.

That is, he is using this method to turn all the adventurers in the slums into Shen Yi's enemies.

I believe that any adventurer, after receiving the bounty order, will not mind the news of betraying Shen Yi. And Shen Yi If they want to keep the secret of their own strength, they are bound to kill, such as Jing Twelve and others.

This actually has a very big impact on Shen Yi, after all, what he is best at is using others.

In previous missions, he has used various means to make other adventurers his allies, his tools, and even his cannon fodder, his ATM...... Shen Yi is good at borrowing strength and strength, and he will never easily make enemies in the bloody city.

However, Xie Rongjun's approach made Shen Yi's specialty come to naught, making him step by step in the environment of the bloody city.

It's like two players playing cards, and one of them openly makes a declaration, and whoever tells me what cards the other hand has, I give him a sum of money. So a bunch of spectators joined in the fun, desperately trying to peek at your cards. If you get angry, yell, or even fight because of it, you will find yourself in an embattled situation.

You're not just up against your opponents in the game, but also against a large group of people outside the game.

The latter was even more terrible - Jing XII died, Lu De died, the monk fled, and the 641 squad had another enemy. If Kyo XII and Lude still have friends in this world, then maybe there is more than one.

If this situation is allowed to continue, Team 641 will soon be defeated at every turn.

However, Shen Yi's opponent is the Bloodpier Team in the ordinary area, and in terms of strength and financial resources, it will only be stronger than the 641 team.

If other adventurers were to take sides, eighty percent would only choose the Lancet team instead of Team 641.

It can be said that Xie Rongjun's approach made full use of his fame and strength, and at the beginning of the war, he put the 641 squad in a desperate situation.

Therefore, Xie Rongjun's real intention in issuing the bounty order was not to know the details of Team 641, but to deliberately use it as bait to create trouble for Team 641 and set up enemies.

For example, now, due to the death of Jing Twelve and the others, the difficulty of completing their tasks has suddenly increased, which is precisely caused by Xie Rongjun's secret fuel.

In this case, Shen Yi realized that in order to finish this deck with the Blood Assassins, he first had to deal with the bystanders behind them who kept peeking at the cards.

If not to make them available to their own use, at least to put them back in a neutral position.

How can you get bystanders to stop disrupting the situation?

The best thing to do is to open the board.

At this moment, Shen Yi slowly turned around and said to everyone:

"To be honest, if I had known earlier that Jing Twelve and they were killing me because of Xie Rongjun, and Xie Rongjun used a bounty order, I would definitely not have chosen to kill Jing Twelve and them. While information is the key to victory, allies are even more important. It is the king to overlord the many and fight less with more. Fight alone, with a dozen ...... Not to mention that there is no hope of winning, and even if I can win, I will feel that I am too defeated. โ€

"As for Zhou Yiyu, I don't know if he will betray us, but it doesn't matter anymore. We might as well see this as a test for him, if he hadn't betrayed us, maybe we would have another comrade-in-arms in the future. Even if he betrayed us, with his character, I will be a little sorry......"

"This battle has just begun, and our opponents ...... Far more cunning than we think. โ€

Shen Yi's answer made everyone suddenly realize.

They can't help but admit that Shen Yi is far more comprehensive than they thought.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Shen Yi let Zhou Yiyu go. For him, it is actually meaningless to kill Zhou Yiyu or not. On the contrary, if Zhou Yiyu hadn't betrayed them, then he would have one more trusted friend. Emotionally speaking, this is also the most acceptable choice for him.

As for the monks...... There is no turning back from the hatred that has been formed, so you can only face it calmly.

King Kong asked, "Why don't they just offer us a higher price?"

"Because they don't want to borrow someone else's hand to kill us, it's just a pretense. For Xie Rongjun, all he needs is to use this incident to stir up the hostility of other adventurers against us and stimulate our resistance, thus intensifying the contradictions between us and others. For adventurers, killing five adventurers for 15,000 points is obviously more cost-effective than spying on the intelligence of five adventurers in exchange for 10,000 points, and this is also in line with Xie Rongjun's needs. If he really wants to buy our lives with money, then he will have to at least double the price. Even for adventurers in the ordinary area, 30,000 blood points is not a small number. There is no need for the Lancet to pay such a big price, it is better to strengthen yourself with this money, and then kill us with your own hands. โ€

Gentle also asked, "Then what will we do in the future?"

Shen Yi chuckled: "Everything has both sides and tails, and there is no chess that only sees the good and the bad." Since Xie Rongjun doesn't need any information about us at all, but he wants to deliberately let it go, then don't blame me for being unceremoniously taking a benefit from him. After we finish this mission, we will entrust Ali to go to him. Wouldn't it be nice for him to sell our information and make a net profit? Rather than let someone else earn this reward and make us enemies everywhere, we should make it ourselves! He's sending money to the door. โ€

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Shen Yi's hand will be calculated, and it is really enough to damage. Since you want to make me enemies everywhere through a bounty, I'm going to sell my own information and make a big profit. I believe that with the reputation of the Bloodpier Team, it will definitely not be easy to fall on the bill. Whether he buys it or not, the bounty must come at the cost of a high amount of blood points if it is to be maintained.

If he doesn't want to continue to spend meaninglessly, he must cancel the reward order, and as long as the reward order disappears, Shen Yi naturally doesn't have to worry about making enemies.

However, King Kong still frowned and said: "Anyway, exposing our details like this always has a great impact on strength, is there any way to eliminate this influence?"

King Kong's concern is not unreasonable.

Although Xie Rongjun has the ability to detect, he can only use it in front of people, and he may not be omniscient. In other words, selling too much of your own intelligence will still be very detrimental to yourself.

Shen Yi smiled slightly: "Of course." There are two ways to eliminate the downside. One: Look back at the opponent's hole cards. Isn't it nice that everyone knows each other? We have asked Ali to do this, do our best, and let God do it. As for the second point...... It is to try to give yourself as much as possible a new hole card that will not be leaked. โ€

Speaking of this, Shen Yi's voice became cold and deep, revealing a cold winter-like coldness, which made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

Gently and instinctively asked, "How can I get new hole cards?"

"A difficult mission, of course. Shen Yi replied quickly.

Difficult tasks? Everyone looks at each other.

King Kong asked tentatively, "Do you mean to eliminate the Terminator of the fourth round of pursuit?"

"No!" Shen Yi categorically denied: "That's not too difficult!"

His gaze turned around his companion, and then he smiled, "Are you interested in going with me to the Skynet headquarters?"
