Chapter Twenty-Nine: Vicious Dogs
The Shinto's destruction of the Evidence Technology Bureau was certainly a show of their might.
However, subsequent actions undoubtedly proved that the organization was not as strong as it had been imagined.
At least in the face of the joint suppression of the Three Law Divisions and the Underworld, the Shinto people are powerless to fight and can only choose to hibernate, which will lead to the use of ghost pattern butterflies to recruit fallen god believers after the disaster.
To put it bluntly.
Today's Shintoists need to strengthen themselves in order to realize the next stage of their plans.
This is the real reason why Yan Jing dared to push and pull so much on the riverbank.
"Sir, please stay!"
Just as Yan Jing condensed his spiritual energy and prepared to test the strength of the cruise ship, someone's voice finally sounded on the side of the boat.
Looking up, I saw a tall and thin man dressed as a Confucian in a white shirt appear on the deck, smiling at the two people on the riverbank.
This man has a goatee, a tall figure, an elegant and steady appearance, holding a book, but behind him is carrying a sword with a red tassel hanging from the end, which does not look like a weapon, but a wooden prop used in the troupe's performances.
At first glance, it seems to be a Confucian hero who came out of the book.
Only those eyes, embedded in the deep sunken eye frame, revealed paranoia and a slight madness.
Xu was aware of Yan Jing's gaze, and returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
"Who are you?"
Yan Jing lifted the seal, looked at the other party and asked.
Although he knew in the Sun family's dyeing workshop that the fallen god believers could often disguise themselves as ordinary people, the guy in front of him still made Yan Jing feel a little surprised.
Compared with Sun Sanniang, he hides more perfectly.
Under the premise of not using special means, Rao is Yan Jing could not even detect the fallen god energy in his body, and he looked like he was just a handsome middle-aged man.
It's no wonder that it has been lurking in the capital for so long.
"In Xia Luqing, the owner of this pleasure boat and the owner of the theater troupe on board, I sincerely invite this gentleman to come on board for a while."
Compared with the two people who were in charge of the introduction, Lu Qing's attitude towards Yan Jing was undoubtedly more calm.
"Finally someone who can call the shots comes out. Go back, I won't bother you here. ”
Glancing at the old beggar beside him who had not spoken a word after Lu Qing came out, Yan Jing waved his hand and said.
Take a sampan onto the deck of the cruise ship.
On a sunny day, the river is calm and calm, and the whole boat is very stable, and stepping on it is no different from the flat land on the river bank.
After pausing on the deck for a moment, Yan Jing's gaze first swept the window of the room on the first floor of the attic, and he could feel the line of sight coming from inside, obviously some people had arrived before him, and had been waiting for a while.
Seeing that Yan Jing had special treatment, he was naturally not angry.
Then let them wait a little longer.
Turning his gaze to the rehearsal team on the deck, even though it was only a camouflage team used by the Shinto, the drill was decent, with people in costumes moving back and forth in various postures, and some of them were holding flags and talking about something.
"This is a troupe I specially formed, and it is also a small reputation in this nearby city, I don't know what to call Your Excellency?"
"Just call me Luo Yan and find a place to talk?"
Yan Jing habitually reported the name of the vest of the world, paused and added,
"There are still some things to deal with later, it's better to be direct, don't beat around the bush, I don't have time to play the blade."
"That's nature, Mr. Luo, please go this way."
While Yan Jing looked around, Lu Qing was actually observing the former.
In fact, he is not as calm as he seems.
The momentum that suddenly erupted in the alleyway before was even noticed by him on the boat, and his mood was somewhat complicated.
First, he was happy that the organization could recruit strong people, and secondly, he was a little surprised and suspicious because he had never heard of a strong person of this level hidden in the Xudu City.
However, the other party's performance before boarding the ship dispelled the suspicion in his heart.
Only a believer in the fallen gods can still be so arrogant at such a time.
The two of them climbed to the second floor of the attic one after the other, Yan Jing looked at the room in front of him, and suddenly heard a few low dog barks faintly from inside, and couldn't help but turn to look at Lu Qing.
"It's a hunting dog that I have, and I always keep it in my room to prevent it from scaring others."
Lu Qing explained with a smile and raised his hand to push the door open.
Yan Jing walked behind, and when he saw the situation in the house, his brows furrowed suddenly, and then he stretched out before Lu Qing turned around, and then hung a smile that seemed to be very interested,
In the depths of the dimly lit room, a vicious dog with a particularly strong physique was crouching.
It was hairless, and the dark red skin on its back had the lines of a long sword.
At this time, it was hugging several skulls of different sizes, sometimes sticking out its tongue and licking it a few times, but its dark green eyes were staring at Yan Jing with a menacing roar.
The strange thing is that the dog's gaze at Lu Qing also did not mean to be tame, but became more and more fierce, as if it could kill his nominal master at any time.
A scholar with a sword on his back, but raising such a vicious dog that doesn't recognize people, it's really interesting.
"You dog, you really have to be tighter."
With a grin, Yan Jing looked directly at the vicious dog, his eyes instantly transformed into light golden beast pupils, and the latter's head was immediately buried, and his low roar turned into a frightened whimper.
Seeing this scene, Lu Qing on the side had a new understanding of Yan Jing's strength, but at the same time, he was quite speechless.
This Mr. Luo is really a rare villain, if he really gets angry, he is afraid that he will be slapped twice if he is bumped into by a dog on the side of the road.
Before Lu Qing could greet him, Yan Jing had already found a place to sit down, picked up the pears on the table, took a bite, and said,
"I happened to be nearby when you raided the Evidence Bureau, and I watched the whole process, first robbing incense, and then deliberately arranging people to carry a large number of pious incense to launch a suicide attack, to be honest, I am very curious about your plan."
"Truth be told, these two events are just a precondition for achieving the plan, and our next actions are truly related to the future transformation of the city, and the lonely ghosts of Hades should return their stolen authority to us!"
"Nonsense. I'm not going to hear your ideas, I'm going to do what you're really going to do, and I can't wait to fight and tell me what my god is going to do next. ”
"If you want to overthrow the control of the underworld over this heaven and earth, there is only one way, to completely destroy the sealing gate and attract the gods of the outside world to descend, and if we want to achieve this step, we must first meet one condition, cause a certain degree of damage to the Soul Suppression Palace, it is the hub of communication between the underworld and the world, only by cutting it off can we greatly weaken the combat power of the underworld, so that our enemies are limited to the three divisions of the capital!"
Urged by Yan Jing, Lu Qing no longer knocked on the side, but revealed the matter that he planned to tell everyone later, to the former in advance, he wanted to let the other party know that the Shinto people had a careful plan, not a whim.
"As far as I know, there are ghosts and ghosts in the Soul Suppression Palace, which is not at the same level as the Evidence Technology Bureau, and you have the ability to break through or shield the protection from the Underworld?"
Although it had been less than three days since he descended into this world, Yan Jing had already been to the Soul Suppression Hall twice, and he knew very well how well guarded it was.
As the key "stronghold" of the Underworld in the Xudu City, Yan Jing was almost certain that any impact on the Soul Suppression Hall from the outside world would lead to a tough retaliation from the Underworld, could the Shintoists bear this price?
Could it be that the purpose of gathering so many fallen god believers this time is to fill them in as cannon fodder?
The confusion in Yan Jing's heart was quickly answered ambiguously.
"Since we dare to make this decision, we have been prepared for a long time, and this will be the first cooperation between us and a group of divine envoys, including you, and we will complete the breakthrough of the Soul Suppression Palace, and your task is very simple, to help us intercept the reinforcements of the Three Law Divisions within a certain period of time."
Even if he wanted to recruit Yan Jing, Lu Qing's tone was still very strict, only revealing the general direction of the plan, without mentioning the details of the process at all, and what Yan Jing cared about the most was that the Shinto people actually planned to complete this seemingly impossible plan alone.
I thought I was going to be used as cannon fodder, but I didn't think that the Shinto people would actually take care of the newcomers?
No, it's not.
On the surface, he was silent, but Yan Jing's mind was racing rapidly.
The Shinto people are by no means an organization that treats newcomers with warmth and affection, and they will make this kind of arrangement, and nine times out of ten they think that destroying the Soul Suppression Hall is a sure thing, and it will not cause too much damage to themselves.
Why are they?
Yan Jing didn't rush to ask, he knew that how to break through the Soul Suppression Hall was the core secret of the Divine Dao Sect, and with his current status, it was obviously not suitable to speak directly.
"When are you going to do it?"
After a brief pause, Yan Jing turned to the time of the action.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't know the detailed plan, as long as he can get the approximate time, he can ask the three law divisions to prepare in advance through Bai Ruosu, and he will finally be able to force out the hole cards of the Shinto people at that time.
"Just tonight, we have set up three access points in the city of Xudu to invite all the divine envoys to participate in the grand event."
A single point of contact has poured in too many fallen believers in a short period of time, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not appear, which will lead to being detected by the three law divisions.
Moreover, although there is a lot of residual energy on the side of the Technology Bureau, it will also take time for the ghost-patterned butterflies they have turned into to attract enough fallen god believers.
If you really wait, I'm afraid that you will not be able to organize the operation until night.
There wasn't much time left until the festival, and the Shinto people didn't want to miss any opportunities.
The assault on the Evidence Technology Bureau had just been launched this afternoon, and the attention of the three divisions was now on this matter, and they expected that the former would never have thought that the Shinto would launch a second raid in a few hours.
"Sounds interesting, get the Soul Palace, and then it's the big festival. Well, if you succeed tonight, I'll fight you all!" ”
Throwing away the remaining fruit pits, Yan Jing raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
"Haha~ With your help, we will never fail tonight!"
Seeing that Yan Jing showed his intention to cooperate, Lu Qing also got up quite excitedly and said with a laugh.
