At the beginning, Lu Ming, who was a little depressed in his heart, didn't see this young man. It wasn't until the young man was less than ten meters away from him and was still walking straight that Lu Ming subconsciously raised his head and looked at him with the vigilance brought about by his long-term training.

Next to him, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei were also watching him.

Suddenly, the three of them were watching at the same time, and the thin young man was a little nervous and a little hesitant. But he still walked in front of the three.

In the process, the three of them had examined him for an unknown number of times, and had already confirmed that the young man was not a threat.

He stood in front of the three of them, facing the three of them with some inquiring eyes, and stumbled, "You...... Hello, that's right, here's a bouquet of flowers, it's for you. ”

Lu Ming and He Wei looked at Zhang Dingshan. A smile appeared on Zhang Dingshan's face, and his voice was calm: "Oh? Why give it to us? ”

The young man scratched his head: "When I went out, I saw a bouquet of flowers, and there was a hundred yuan in it, and a mobile phone in the flowers. The voice on the phone said, let me give you the flowers, and the hundred dollars will be mine. ”

Zhang Dingshan's gaze suddenly sharpened. He looked at the bouquet of flowers, and sure enough, he saw a corner of a metal box in the middle.

It looked a bit like a walkie-talkie, not a cell phone.

"Okay, please put it here, thank you."

The thin man directly put the bouquet of flowers on the edge of the flower bed, took the hundred yuan in the bouquet with his hand, and left directly with some doubts.

Zhang Dingshan looked at a young man in casual clothes who seemed to pass by by by chance, and gestured to him directly. The next moment, the man who hadn't looked this way at all nodded imperceptibly, and then pretended to inadvertently change direction, following behind the thin man before.

Although there is a high probability that this thin man has nothing to do with his own affairs, he must always check it.

At this time, He Wei and Lu Ming also stood up and carefully observed the bouquet.

In the bouquet, a sound suddenly came from inside the metal box that looked like a walkie-talkie.

"There is no danger in this bouquet of flowers. Don't worry, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago, and I wouldn't have waited until now. ”

Zhang Dingshan's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at He Wei. He Wei nodded, and left immediately without saying a word.

Lu Ming knew that she was the organizational force, starting from the source of the signal, the source of the item, etc., supplemented by the investigation of the surroundings, trying to find the person behind the walkie-talkie.

Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "If you look at it this way, this is a negotiation? ”

"Yes, negotiate."

The voice on the walkie-talkie was stiff and rigid, as if it had been synthesized by a machine. This kind of voice has been heard by Lu Ming on some software such as machine translation and machine reading.

It shouldn't be possible to analyze anything from the sound. Lu Ming immediately had a judgment in his heart.

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

The stiff and rigid voice said slowly, "Talk about what we have to pay so that you can stop the investigation of our organization." And what will be the price if you refuse to stop investigating. ”

A smile appeared on Zhang Dingshan's face: "I'm curious, so, tell me?" ”

Lu Ming noticed that Zhang Dingshan was not in a hurry, and even suspected that he was deliberately delaying time. He knew in his heart that this was Zhang Dingshan buying time for He Wei.

"If you, and the official will behind you, can stop the investigation into our organization, I can call the shots and give each of you three investigators 10 million human coins. If there are still people behind you who need to be settled, it is not impossible to negotiate with more money. ”

Zhang Dingshan's expression was still calm: "Money is not attractive to us. ”

The stiff voice calmed down for a moment: "Sorry, the only price we can pay is money." If 10 million doesn't work, how about 100 million? Moreover, we guarantee that you will be able to get your hands in peace, without any hindrance, in a way that makes sense in all aspects of the investigation. There are no hidden dangers. ”

For this, Lu Ming believes it. This can be seen from the way Han Rui gets paid.

"It's been increased tenfold, and it looks like your budget is quite a lot. So, who are you? ”

"It doesn't matter who we are. We will not affect any innocent person, anything in the world, no one except to take the lives of some people who are destined to die. You can be when we don't exist. In fact, our organization has existed for so many years and has never affected your world in the rest of the world. ”

"Doomed?"

"Yes. Their fate is sealed. We are nothing more than executors. ”

Zhang Dingshan sighed: "However, if you don't execute, they can obviously live longer." ”

"This is fate, and fate cannot be violated."

"What if you disobey?"

"We'll do it."

Zhang Dingshan changed the subject: "You have existed for a long time? ”

"Yes. It has been a long time since I followed the instructions of fate and carried out the arrangements of fate. ”

Lu Ming's brows furrowed slightly.

Ten years can also be considered a long time, a thousand years, two thousand years, and even from the day of the birth of human civilization, it can also be regarded as a long time. This sentence reveals little useful information.

"What will you do if we stop investigating?"

"Continue to hide in the shadows, follow the instructions of fate, and carry out the arrangements of fate, without any effect on anything else. You can rest assured of that. ”

Zhang Dingshan smiled faintly: "Actually, you don't need to negotiate with us. Our only source of information at the moment is Hu Shan. Without Hu Shan, we don't even know who you killed. If you don't want to continue to be investigated by us, just kill Hu Shan. ”

The stiff and rigid voice was silent for a moment again before saying, "We will deal with Hu Shan." And, rest assured, in the future, nothing like Hushan will happen again. It was just an accident. ”

"How?"

"Hushan is special. How to deal with it, we can't know for sure yet. But in short, it will not cause you any trouble. ”

Zhang Dingshan still wanted to find some more topics and try to delay the time, but the stiff and rigid voice continued: "I don't mind chatting with you again, if you want to take advantage of this time to find out where we are, please feel free." But I don't think you'll find out anything. If we dare to come out to negotiate with you in this way, you should also know what that means. Now, can you tell me your answer? ”

Zhang Dingshan said: "If we choose not to end the investigation, what price will we pay? ”

"Die."

A word full of murderous intent came out of the walkie-talkie without concealment.

At this moment, it was obviously broad daylight, the sky was cloudless, and a dazzling sun hung in the sky. With the appearance of this word, Lu Ming felt a chill out of thin air.

Zhang Dingshan's expression was unfazed, as if he didn't care at all: "It's really a terrible consequence." ”

"Not only will you die, but your loved ones, your parents, children, siblings, friends, will die."

Lu Ming's eyes turned red instantly, and a violent anger instantly spread throughout his body. At this moment, if he could see the enemy with his own eyes, he would immediately pounce on it, tear the enemy apart alive with his teeth and fists.

For the first time since joining Operation 2, he faced such an unveiled threat of death, including his family.

Zhang Dingshan's expression still did not fluctuate: "I understand." This matter is too big and involves too much, and it doesn't mean that you can stop if you stop. We also have people behind us who need to communicate and settle down. Now I can't give you an answer right away. Please give us some time. ”

"I'll wait."

With these three words spoken, there was no sound in the walkie-talkie.

Lu Ming clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red, and he stared at it deadly. Zhang Dingshan sighed slightly, directly picked up the bouquet of flowers, and said to Lu Ming: "Let's go." ”

Lu Ming didn't say a word, and followed Zhang Dingshan back to the base. And He Wei had already come back ahead of the two.

"Nothing to gain."

She shook her head: "The bouquet of flowers, the walkie-talkie, the person, and the surrounding vicinity, all checked." ”

"Expected."

Zhang Dingshan nodded: "There is a little new situation now. The adversary negotiated with us and made death threats. ”

Lu Qingliang was also informed of this meeting. After Zhang Dingshan recounted the whole process of the negotiation in a flat and unfluctuating tone, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.

After a long time, He Wei suddenly slammed his fist on the table and stood up suddenly, like a raging lion.

"It's the other way around! Threaten us! It's not enough to threaten ourselves, but also dare to add family! ”

Lu Ming's eyes were red and he was silent. Lu Qingliang's expression was full of complexity, with anger and fear.

Zhang Dingshan said lightly: "This organization shouldn't know much about us. In addition to knowing that we represent the will of the human world, they may not even know who we are, let alone our character and ideals. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have put forward such ridiculous conditions as 10 million or 100 million human coins. ”

This kind of condition, if you are a member of any action team, even if you still refuse in the end, you may still be tempted. Only the four members of the second action team will not be attracted by this condition at all.

If you can't do that, you won't be a member of the Action 2 team.

Regarding this judgment, Lu Ming nodded silently.

This once again confirms that the secret organization does not possess any power beyond the human world, except for a few super technologies. At least they don't know their inside information.

Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "I did not directly refuse their request for negotiation. I think that should buy us a while. During this time, they should not attack us, our families and relatives. ”

He Wei couldn't help but say, "Captain, what do you think is the probability that they will attack us and our relatives?" ”

Lu Ming, who had been silent, didn't wait for Zhang Dingshan to speak, and said, "That secret organization will not attack easily. It's still that judgment, and it's going to escalate the situation. But at this moment, we cannot rule out the possibility that our actions have seriously threatened the survival of this organization, causing them to die in the net. ”

At this moment, he had regained a little calm.

"And, judging what the probability is, in fact, there is no point. In any case, we and our families are under threat. That's the fundamental. ”

Even in the 1% chance that your family and your own lives are still at risk.

Zhang Dingshan nodded and agreed with Lu Ming's judgment: "So, what do you think?" ”

When it comes to the safety of oneself and one's loved ones, no one can make decisions for others.

He Wei shook her head: "I have no father or mother, I grew up in an orphanage, and I don't worry about them doing something to my relatives. My own life...... Although I didn't want to die, I was ready to throw my life away since I joined the second team. ”

Lu Qingliang gritted his teeth, and just as he was about to speak, Zhang Dingshan stopped him: "With the level of intelligence acquisition of that organization, they shouldn't know about your existence." You don't have to take a stand. ”

Lu Qingliang shut up and was silent.

Lu Ming thought about it and slowly stood up.

"Save my own life, save the lives of my family and friends, find out about this organization, and solve this incident, these three things...... I want them all. ”

Zhang Dingshan's eyes flashed with appreciation: "Very good." ”

Zhang Dingshan did not express his position from beginning to end, and no one asked him what his attitude was. Because everyone knows in their hearts that it is impossible for Zhang Dingshan to retreat.

No matter how big the threat is, he will not hesitate in the slightest.

Lu Ming continued: "The time you have won is our only chance, Captain. Only by grasping the feet of this secret organization during this period of paralysis and killing it in a fatal blow during the period when they have no time to attack ourselves and our loved ones can we completely ensure the safety of us and our families.

And, judging from the fact that this organization intimidated us before, and then directly negotiated with us after the intimidation failed, and judging from the change in their attitude, I think that our 'troublemaking' behavior at this moment has greatly affected or threatened them. There is even a possibility that if we continue to cause trouble, we will have clues that threaten them, so they are so impatient. ”

Zhang Dingshan bowed slightly: "There is indeed such a possibility." ”

He Wei muttered, "New clues? But we have conducted a detailed investigation of each victim, and we really can't find any suspicious ......"

Lu Ming said decisively: "Wait." We can only wait. During this time, we will continue to cause trouble, and we can even create some kind of false impression of passivity, so that the secret organization thinks that the three of us have compromised and are limited to the demands of our superiors and have to continue the investigation. And then...... Wait for new clues to emerge! ”
