Chapter 211: Counterattack!
"What's busy?" Lu Cheng was puzzled.
"Do you think you've woken up now, and you'll be able to escape the rest of the story?" The old Taoist priest smiled maliciously, "Before explaining, I want to ask you a stakes analysis question, I believe that the old demon king was not killed by you, and I also recognize your practice of finding the real murderer to take revenge." But can you please tell me why you can tell the Temple of Hades about the beheading? It is to confess and forgiveness, and then wait for unpredictable consequences, countless suspicions, and the judgment that will always come; still doesn't say anything, buries this truth in the bottom of my heart, and passes with the mentality that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. ”
"Are you sure this is an analytical question and not a multiple-choice question?"
Lu Cheng gave him a blank look.
This guy said it more vaguely, but there was still a layer of meanness in his words that was difficult to eliminate. It's not that there is a problem with his wording, but that he doesn't say anything, exchanging the sacrifice of the old demon king for his own safety and even adding officials to the knighthood, this matter itself is enough to be dirty and dirty, no matter how nice it sounds, in Lu Cheng, a guilty party, he will inevitably hear other meanings.
And in the face of this multiple-choice question involving human nature and morality, people who are a little rational will not do stupid things. In any sense, it makes more sense to remain silent than to tell the truth. You don't have to pay anything, you don't have to pander to the disgusting rhetoric of those people, all you need to sacrifice is a moral personality in your heart.
Throw away your conscience and have your own sea and sky.
It's ironic and it's contradictory.
But in the face of this question, Lu Cheng didn't have to answer.
"I don't care about the answer, all I want is the process of analyzing the moment in your heart." The old Taoist priest seemed to have guessed the activity in his heart, and took the initiative to take over the conversation at this most difficult moment. "It's not your business, and I know you don't want to bear the infamy," he smiled helplessly, "but I believe you're still rational, so you'll definitely make a smart choice, which is to remain silent." ”
"So what?" Lu Cheng sighed deeply and raised his head to look at him.
"No, what I want to say is actually very simple, that is, the chain reaction caused by the death of the old demon king is not only on the side of you and the Hades Temple, and similarly, the demon clan will not remain silent after losing a demon king." The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly, "The success of the decapitation operation has laid a good start for us, and it also symbolizes that we have unfolded the whole chessboard first. The battle has begun, and the price you have chosen to remain silent is to continue to fulfill the duties of a hero in the eyes of all people. It is expected that by tomorrow at the latest, the first battlefield will be opened up in an unknown place, so my suggestion is to wait until this battle is over to pursue the grievances on your side, the people who pass through the Hades Temple are not fools, and they will not be unable to see the penetrating wounds caused by the famous sword and nine songs and the wounds caused by the siege of the demon clan. ”
"."
This sound was Lu Cheng's foul mouth after he couldn't hold back.
I gave myself a knife, but in the end it was just a superfluous move. He had always thought that he had succeeded in deceiving the old fellows who had passed through the Hades Temple, and now it seemed that it was nothing more than a group of politicians pretending to be dumb and deaf about an ending that had nothing to do with him.
The old Taoist priest's words were not finished, but the rest of the meaning was not difficult to guess.
In this kind of situation where everyone knows what the facts are but no one breaks it, it is actually Lu Cheng's attitude that determines the final direction of things. If they choose to tell the truth, there will be a large group of people who are cold bystanders waiting to stand up and point fingers, and if they choose to remain silent and accept this effortless victory, they will also be happy to turn a blind eye and let the situation go its own way. Because from the beginning to the end, there is no way for anyone to lose anything at all. The old monster is not their friend, and the feud of the Demon Concession Department has nothing to do with them, and the verbal praise for himself is just a gesture, and the judgment is nothing more than a vote by a show of hands.
They don't care who is the real culprit, they only care about the result - that is, one-third of the demon clan's strength has been killed before the war, such a favorable situation, no matter who this feat comes from, is a situation they like to see.
And he, Lu Cheng, is just a pawn that can be used. If you are obedient, you can give two mouthfuls of candy to eat, and if you don't know the current affairs, someone will clean it up.
Seeing this truth clearly, Lu Cheng understood why the Demon General and the Spirit Phaser had hoped so much for a hundred years to regain control of the Hades Temple. Because politics is such a disgusting thing, the way not to be persecuted by him is either to find a way to stay away, or to trample the root of all evil under his feet.
If it weren't for the old Taoist priest's words, he would probably not be able to break through the mystery by this time. In his own clever move, he suddenly understood the mocking laughter that echoed throughout the demon clan's dragon's lair on the night of his departure.
Because there is no way out, there is a sea of bitterness in front of you, and turning back is an abyss.
"I see." He nodded, "I'll take care of this side first." Did anything happen on the main battlefield during my unconscious time? ”
"Yes." The old Taoist priest snapped his fingers, "After the old demon king died, a fire letter was directly placed on the table of the branch hall. The person who wrote the letter should be the highest person in the demon clan now, the tree ghost. In the letter, she said that she would act as a demon god and lead all the demon clans to seek justice for the deceased old demon king. According to the procedure, it should be regarded as a formal declaration of war. ”
"The table top?" Lu Cheng smiled, and said in his heart that this matter was enough to slap his face, "How can such a sacred place as the branch hall be broken into casually, and leave after sending the war book unknowingly?" These demons are rampant enough. Isn't it time for our parliament to be in a safe place? The demon dragon's lair can be found by us so easily, play a preemptive attack on it, you are really not afraid that the other party will repeat the old tricks, and also make a surprise attack on the branch hall, and wipe it out? ”
"The nature of the two is different." The old Taoist priest chuckled, "The dragon's lair is the old nest of the demon clan, and the significance of the branch hall to us is dispensable. A bunch of old guys are much more afraid of death than you think, this hidden danger is so obvious, have you seen the ten halls of Yan Jun, which one lives in the branch hall? Aren't they all living in high-end hotels, surrounded by a group of children of families who can fight? So even if there is a demon clan breaking in, it's nothing, the empty city plan knows, right? It won't be us who will suffer. ”
Lu Cheng smacked his tongue, "Didn't you live in the branch hall during this time?" ”
Strangely enough, the Ten Halls of Yan Jun each lived in a high-end hotel, but the old Taoist priest who owned a local private apartment suddenly moved to the branch hall before the war began. If it is said that the Yan gentlemen did not live in the post station because they were afraid of death, the behavior of the old Taoist priest was full of many meanings.
Hearing this, he put on a vicissitudes of life and looked up at the moonlight in the night sky at a forty-five degree angle.
"It is precisely because of me that this last line of defense can be regarded as truly invulnerable. You don't have to have a lot of people to defend, and one of me is far enough. Want to take down the HQ? They have to dare. ”
When he said this, this guy always had that kind of expression on his face that thought he was chic and indifferent, but it was actually extremely sassy, and after saying a few words, he picked up half an unfinished cigarette from nowhere. The blur in his eyes and the shallow smile on the corner of his mouth created a feeling of "how lonely it is to be invincible" in the smoke, if it weren't for the fact that he had long been accustomed to this and there was no one around, Lu Cheng, who had watched the whole process, would probably really be able to find a crack in the ground to get into, so as not to be seen that he knew this madman.
He said in his heart that there is still an impeccable line of defense? You're the only one stationed in the entire branch, and the hell knows how people put the war book on the table without knowing it!
But there are some things that you don't need to say in your heart, and arguing with thick-skinned people is often a waste of your precious time.
"Ahem." He coughed dryly twice and skimmed the topic on his own, "Isn't there anything else going on?" ”
As soon as the words fell, what suddenly lit up was a fire talisman on the old Taoist priest's body.
This method of communication is very primitive, but it is more reliable than a mobile phone. The reason for this is that no matter how the surrounding magnetic field is affected by psionic energy, there is no possibility that the recipient will not be able to receive the message due to an accident such as a lack of signal or a malfunction.
Glancing at the slight firelight in the southeast direction, the old Taoist priest's face finally flashed with a seemingly serious sneer.
"Here's the thing." He glanced at Lu Cheng and clasped his hands around his chest.
Rao is a dull person, who feels the atmosphere of sudden changes, and should also understand the occurrence of accidents in the city. Lu Cheng lowered his voice and looked at the old Taoist priest seriously, "What do you say about the fire talisman?" ”
"Let me hurry back to the branch hall, the demon clan has already made some moves. Sure enough, the night is not the exclusive stage for our psychics, and last night's action was so big, and today they will return the gift. ”
"Without further ado, I'd better go with you and have a look." Lu Cheng thought for a while and said. After all, the investigation has encountered a bottleneck here, and if there is really a move on the demon clan's side, he should also be able to judge for a while whether the death of the old demon king is possible for the demon clan to infighting.
"Okay, you have a girl here, can you keep up with me?" The old Taoist priest glanced at Tang Yuefei lying on the ground and asked casually.
Lu Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at him in surprise, "Aren't you able to change the shape?" How to come here with the two of us, how to go back, isn't it done! ”
"Damn, do you think you can put this level of ultimate move if you want to? Is it good to have a cooldown? The old monster gouged its nostrils and rolled its eyes at him.
Lu Cheng was speechless for a while, and said in his heart what is this person called. However, the words of the old Taoist priest left him with a heart. In addition to daily games, the term cooldown has only been touched by him in the spiritual world, and that is the equipment attribute of the Black Dragon suit.
Isn't it the last Black Dragon Heart Ring in this guy's hand?
He thought for a moment, then rejected the possibility in a blink of an eye.
An old slut who doesn't even have the slightest breath of the black dragon, where can he have such a legendary treasure?
