Russell gasped violently, feeling the dizziness of his head grow more intensely...... There are even some that are unstable.

He reached for the table, but slammed the beer tower to the ground.

When the top beer hits the ground, the liquid shoots out and spills all over the floor.

And the middle-aged man standing at the door, elegant and calm, closed the door casually and locked the room. His left hand was behind his back, and his right hand held a sharp, broken wine bottle like a dagger.

Russell's blurred vision gradually became clear.

He fixed his eyes and finally saw the appearance of the person in front of him.

Standing in front of Russell was the same bartender he had seen when he asked for directions at the front desk earlier.

Delphinium mentioned before that these bodyguards of Xiao Liuli are not the same as the Beehive Nightclub. And they didn't catch Russell's presence from the surveillance either......

“…… Was it at that time? ”

Russell covered his wound and whispered, "It's a trap, isn't it?" It was ...... from the beginning"

He still felt a strong sense of vertigo. In this state, let alone fight back...... I'm afraid that if I try to escape, I will run and fall to the ground.

You have to distract the other person by talking and buy a little time.

Even if you don't wait for the rescue of the inferior, you must at least be able to escape.

"Pretty much."

The bartender just stood in the doorway with a broken bottle in his hand.

Wearing a smiley mask, his deep and magnetic voice was unusually relaxed: "You guessed it. ”

He clearly wasn't going to just kill himself.

Russell looked at the bartender's behavior and judged his behavior pattern - he was waiting for the bodyguards who had been down for a short time to return to normal after being overheated by the delphinium!

In order to prevent being counter-killed by Russell, he did not even approach Russell.

Instead, he kept his distance, holding the broken wine bottle and blocking the doorknob with his body.

If Russell tried to rush over, he wouldn't hesitate to stick the sharp broken wine bottle in his hand into himself.

Russell realized something.

- Are they going to catch them alive as much as they can?

That's why it's a hard blow to the back of the head at the beginning.

Because this is where the chip is inlaid with, it is a weakness for anyone - at least it is absolutely impossible to be wrapped in a protective prosthesis.

In order to buy time, Russell tried to use his brain to think: "You are actually not protecting Xiao Liuli, but monitoring Xiao Liuli...... Right.

"For example, today, you actually deliberately let Xiao Liuli wait here......"

"So, what are we here for?"

The voice under the bartender's mask is flat and gentle.

He seemed to be innocently curious, and it seemed that he had seen through Russell's strategy to delay time, and dragged it with him—after all, time was with him now.

"It's for fishing."

Russell replied without hesitation: "Just to catch me." ”

Now that we know the answer, it's easy to work backwards......

"At first, I thought that Xiao Liuli was shy because she heard my voice, which is why she was so excited.

"But when you think about it, my social circles with her don't overlap at all. She should be stunned at best, but not to that extent. ”

Russell leaned on the table and replied in a low voice, "The answer is simple...... She was surprised that the person who opened the door turned out to be me. ”

He said, glancing at the bodyguards.

Their overheated, smoky prosthetic bodies gradually dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. Apparently control is being lifted.

…… Let's put it this way. After the bartender came in, Delphinium's voice seemed to stop abruptly.

Is it some kind of portable disconnect device activated?

It was supposed to be what the bartender was hiding behind him with his left hand.

So Russell continued: "Why, then, was she so surprised when she saw me? Why are there four invisible prosthetics and armed 'bodyguards' in this small room?

"Obviously, the people you are waiting for...... It is a specific enemy that must be dealt with with a sneak attack with a weapon. ”

"And who are we waiting for?"

The bartender's voice remained calm.

Obviously, Russell's reasoning at this point was not what he expected.

So Russell threw out a big piece of material -

"-Inferior, right?"

He replied in a low voice, "From the very beginning, this was a conspiracy against the inferior. ”

After a short silence, the bartender sighed: "Sure enough, you are not the executive officer of the Tianen Group, but the agent of the Special Enforcement Department. Right. ”

Is the staff of the Special Operations Department called an agent......

Russell, who had just known the name of his profession, was already in prison, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

When did this tradition of beginner missions begin?

Fire ○ ninja?

"You just said, 'Executive Officer of the Tianen Group', right?"

Russell was distracted by his thoughts on how to escape, and he continued to try to stall for time.

He pretends to be a detective with a desire to talk, and confidently says that he has no evidence at all, but only speculation: "You are not part of the syndicate. and even the position of the group is completely opposed...... Judging from the fact that the initial target was the inferior, you should be a survivor of an organization that he wiped out, or a certain bigwig who cleared the scene before a big operation.

"Then I think Xiao Liuli should be a spy for you to break into the group from the very beginning. It should be her personal opinion to hire you as a personal bodyguard, so as to break into the Tian'en newspaper...... I think the specific purpose may be to facilitate the collection of intelligence and control the direction of public opinion.

"Xiao Liuli's prosthetic eye is 'Magic Eye-Net Glass', which has a very high-definition stealing function. Maybe you're trying to use her as bait to get some big guy into a sex scandal? Well...... No, it's not. That would be too costly, and the benefits are uncertain - after all, poachers are very good at investigating.

"So you're planning to use her to steal some documents, right?"

The more Russell spoke, the more fluent it became: "People will let their guard down when the time comes to 'judge with the naked eye' – in an environment like the current internet shutdown." Because the biggest difference between naked eye and prosthetic eye photography is not in the clarity...... Rather, it is necessary to be connected to the Internet when photographing with the naked eye. ”

Originally, it was just a nonsense reasoning, but halfway through it, I suddenly felt that I might have been right.

So he succeeded in convincing himself Russell, and his thinking became clearer and clearer: "And now, you have found her...... Intend to activate this nail to get rid of the inferior.

"Come to think of it this way, that report was also artificially created by you. Let the demon attack Xiao Liuli to create traces and lure the bad one to come here alone.

"In order not to alarm the delphinch, you did not control the monitoring room. Instead, he set up a staff and wore a smile mask to act as a bartender at the front desk. When someone asks about the pseudonym of Ruri-chan......

And the fish took the bait. Right. ”

Russell's bloodstained face was full of confidence.

But in fact, his heart is gradually sinking to the bottom.

…… Didn't you say that the inferior ones would come soon?

It's definitely been more than three minutes, how can support not arrive yet?

After a brief silence, the bartender looked at Russell and burst out laughing.

"If you don't catch the inferior, you won't lose. Tianen Group actually has another brain-type agent......"

He said slowly: "Are you wondering, why hasn't the inferior one come yet?"

"It's simple. Because you can't kill anyone, you can easily stop him as long as you pile up some innocent people. The inferior can't keep his hands on it, and if he wants to get out quickly, it will inevitably cause a huge area of death—he would never dare to use his psionic energy in such a dense environment.

"So, you get the idea. Why are we in this place? ”

A low, magnetic voice flowed: "

"—because you're good people."

The bartender's left hand, hidden behind him, was finally revealed, aimed at Russell.

It wasn't a signal jammer, it was a miniature pistol the size of a lighter.
