Chapter 231: Offline (II)
"And what do you think I'm supposed to say?"
Xu Shen asked rhetorically.
Liu Jichuan didn't answer, but just patted Xu Shen's shoulder again:
"Actually, you and I are Ah Coal, and some Ah Coal was driven out of the kennel and did not climb into the manor, but into the grave."
"Some of them have frozen to death in the woods before they can find the kennel."
"Some Ah Coal has already died in the process of completing the task for the owner of the manor."
"Some of them went to prison, but they never came out."
Liu Jichuan put his hand down and said softly: "Ah Coal is not wrong, he entered the kennel just to hide from the rain, he killed the dog, and he didn't mean to, he just hoped that the dog could let him stay together." β
"What's wrong with just trying to live?"
"But all kinds of systems and laws encountered by Ah Coal are all defending the strong and the rich."
"Do you think it is reasonable that the rules are supposed to protect the poor and the weak, but they have become a tool for the strong to oppress the poor?"
Xu Shen said: "The law of the jungle eats the strong, this is the case. β
"That's right, being weak is Ah Coal's sin."
Liu Jichuan said: "But the rules are made by the strong, and some people climb to high positions, so they make rules, and use these rules to block the footsteps of other latecomers." β
"It's not fair!"
A cold light appeared in Liu Jichuan's eyes: "Some strong people are in power by ability, and some strong people are just relying on some treacherous means, they can commit crimes, but they require us to behave, do you think it is reasonable?" β
Xu Shen didn't speak.
This is naturally unreasonable.
But that's the reality.
No one is reconciled, but no one is capable of resisting.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." Liu Jichuan stared at Xu Shen and turned to leave.
Xu Shen didn't ask, just silently followed.
Before the two returned to the tavern, they appeared from the ruins, and the owner of the tavern happened to come out, and when they saw the two, they smiled and said, "Are you ready to go back?" β
Liu Jichuan nodded: "Come back when you have time." β
"No problem, good wine is waiting for you." The tavern owner glanced at the two of them, and then said to Xu Shen: "I want to have a drink when I turn around." β
"Okay."
Xu Shen nodded.
The two of them got into their cars and drove to the end of the town.
It was a spire-like black church, solemn but old, with a forest of black dead branches spreading outside the church, and black crows soared from the dead branches, shaking off a few feathers.
The two cars stopped in front of the church, and Yanagigawa got off.
Xu Shen also got out of the car.
Yanagigawa pushed open the door of the church, and the dust was wafting in the air, and the seats in the church were empty.
Xu Shen raised his head and looked around, but saw several figures squatting in several places in the oval arches of the church.
"Xiao Xu, you are a smart person, you understand what I said."
Liu Jichuan turned around and stared at Xu Shen: "Let me ask you, do you want to be Ah Coal, or do you want to be the owner of the manor?" β
Xu Shen fell silent.
After a while, under Liu Jichuan's gaze, Xu Shen said in a low voice: "I don't want to." β
"Don't want to either?" Liu Jichuan squinted slightly.
"Maybe it's good to be a rich man, build a few more kennels, and adopt a poor person like Ah Coal." Xu Shen raised his head and smiled.
Yanagikawa stared at him.
"But do you know what happened to the rich man?"
"Huh?"
"Killed by the owner of the manor."
Liu Jichuan said calmly: "The owner of the manor wants to avenge Ah Coal, and at the same time, because of the existence of this rich man, it hinders the owner of the manor." β
Xu Shen sighed.
"Living in this town, you have to make a choice," Yanagikawa said. β
Xu Shen understood what he meant, he looked up at the goddess of the night in front of the church, and was silent for a few moments before he said, "Do I have a choice?" β
γ
Liu Jichuan stared at Xu Shen and said, "There is no choice, but the road in front of you leads to the light." β
Xu Shen smiled and said, "On the road to the light, do you still need to force others to make a choice?" β
"Because there are so many people who are lost in the darkness that even if they see the light, they can't tell it, and they don't know how to catch it." Liu Jichuan said.
Xu Shen shook his head and said, "Then have you ever thought that maybe some people like to stay in the dark." β
Liu Jichuan sank his face and said, "Xiao Xu, you are a talent, are you really willing to stay in the dark forever?" β
Xu Shen sighed: "I just want to stay in my comfortable place. β
Liu Jichuan's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "Xiao Xu, join us, I believe that your heart is also disgusted with the inner city, and you also want to overthrow them, the anti-internal army is stronger than you think, the king in our organization is not inferior to the major forces in the inner city, and when the cards are reshuffled, it is us who are sitting in the inner city." β
"At that time, we will have the right to reformulate the rules so that everyone will no longer be oppressed."
Xu Shen's expression was silent, Liu Jichuan's showdown was completely unexpected by him, and there was nothing to be surprised about.
The previous conversation between the two was only tacitly euphemistic.
"In that case, your organization is not short of a person like me." Xu Shen said.
"But we also need to accumulate more strength, so that when the coup is carried out, we can reduce the casualties, and we hope not a lose-lose victory, but a crush!" Liu Jichuan said.
"I'm sorry." Xu Shen shook his head: "I really can't." β
"Are you really willing to be a coal?!" Liu Jichuan said angrily.
Xu Shen shook his head slightly: "I don't choose either." β
Liu Jichuan stared at Xu Shen, seeing Xu Shen's resolute expression, he knew that no matter how much he said, he couldn't persuade him anymore.
His expression calmed down, and he said slowly, "When did you guess my identity?" β
"From the time you invited me to Elena's house." Xu Shen didn't hide anymore.
"At that time......" Liu Jichuan frowned: "Did I show any flaws?" β
He remembered that he had no intention of revealing it.
Xu Shen shook his head: "There are no flaws, it's just that during that time, I just refused the invitation of the anti-internal army, and no one contacted me during this period, and you ...... Contacted me first. β
"So?"
"So there's a good chance you're one of theirs."
Xu Shen said: "A secret organization like the anti-internal army, but the invitation is refused, they will not take no action, in case I expose their organization to the queen ant, wouldn't they be very passive?" β
Liu Jichuan was slightly silent, and then sighed lightly: "You are really smart, it's a pity." β
His eyes were full of regret and regret.
"In order to invite me to embark on your path of light, do you want to assassinate Elena, in order to dump the blame on the inner city, or do you want to increase my anger?" Xu Shen asked.
Liu Jichuan sighed: "You are the same as Ah Coal, lonely, your relatives and friends are dead, and you can't find any way to threaten you, so you can only help you establish an intimate relationship, but unfortunately, little Elena failed to impress you, but it is okay, her death can touch you somewhat." β
Xu Shen's eyes slowly became cold: "So in order to stimulate me, you are going to kill them?" His father is your best friend. β
"Just friends, not close friends." Liu Jichuan denied: "I have a lot of friends like this, but unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to introduce you to each other before." β
I won't have that chance in the future...... He added silently in his heart.
"When did you plan to draw me into the anti-internal army?" Xu Shen asked.
Liu Jichuan said calmly: "I will look through the information and resumes of the ruins of the secret bureau, and there are outstanding talents among them, all of whom are the seedlings I have prescribed, and you are naturally no exception." β
"So, there are still many people in the bureau who have joined the anti-internal army?"
"Not much, after all, what we need is talent." Liu Jichuan said.
Xu Shen nodded and said, "So you deliberately leaked the secret and colluded with the light chasing to frame me and let me enter the inner city to suffer, right?" Makes me hate the inner city for that, hehe, you've put a lot of effort into me. β
Liu Jichuan was stunned, the calm on his face disappeared, and he stared at Xu Shen: "How do you know?" β
"It's a pity that the old friend you colluded with, he also knew your character, left a hand, and wrote this incident in his diary, and I was accidentally known."
Xu Shen sneered slightly: "You should also know a lot about the inner city, you know about the Moonlight Religion and the Jiang family, and you think that I will suffer a little at most, and you also know that Sister Li gave me the Ghost Moon Mask of the Jiang family, so when I am arrested, the Ghost Moon Mask will definitely be turned out by the people of the Moonlight Religion." β
"With this mask, I will at most be in danger, and I will come back safely, but I will hate the Light Chaser Society because of this, and even betray, or break away, so as to return to the embrace of the Ruins Secret Bureau, and at the same time, I will hate the inner city in my heart and plant the seeds of hatred......"
Xu Shen looked directly at Liu Jichuan and said, "This is all your plan." β
Yanagikawa was silent.
Xu Shen said...... Basically correct.
After learning that Xiaoli gave the ghost moon mask to Xu Shen, he had such an idea in his heart, and then Xu Shen got into trouble himself, he saw an opportunity, so he had a plan for the future.
It's just that I didn't expect that Xu Shen knew everything.
The old friend...... Sure enough, I relented and failed to deal with it in time.
He sighed in his heart.
"You're right, but I'm doing all this in the hope that you can see the reality as soon as possible."
Liu Jichuan looked at Xu Shen, but his eyes were calm: "The sooner you see it, the better it will be for you, maybe the process is more painful, but pain will make people grow." β
Xu Shen looked at his guiltless gaze, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes: "But what you didn't calculate is that the Ghost Moon Mask failed to protect me, and the friendship between the Moonlight Religion and the Jiang family has become worthless because of the Jiang family's current situation!" β
Liu Jichuan was stunned.
"What do you mean?" Liu Jichuan's eyes showed puzzlement: "You came back from the Moonlight Religion, isn't it because of the friendship of the Jiang family?" Then you are ......"
"You're so confident!" Xu Shen looked at him quietly: "Not everything is under your control, you use me as a pawn, you think that your purpose is to cultivate me, but you almost killed me!" β
Liu Jichuan looked at Xu Shen suspiciously, judging from Xu Shen's expression, he was not lying, and there was no need to lie.
If you don't rely on the Ghost Moon Mask, then what else can you rely on?
And.
Xu Shen seems to know a lot about the Jiang family, who told him?
Mu Xue?
Looking at the dark mockery in Xu Shen's eyes, Liu Jichuan's face was gloomy and he said, "Accidents happen to everything, and this is not what I want to see." β
Xu Shen's face was indifferent, but his eyes were even colder.
"Since you know about this, why do you ......" Liu Jichuan suddenly felt that his understanding of Xu Shen didn't seem to be deep enough, and this little guy seemed to be hiding a lot of things and thoughts.
"Why didn't I seek revenge on you, did I?"
Xu Shen said indifferently: "Because you gave me a ruin soldier before, although you have a purpose, you did give me some resources. β
"That's it?" Liu Jichuan was stunned, feeling a little incredible.
"At the same time, it's also because, before it's time for revenge, I'm not sure to solve you." Xu Shen said.
Liu Jichuan's expression calmed down: "This is the real reason, that's right, if it's just the previous one, it's too naΓ―ve, I don't like naΓ―ve guys." β
Xu Shen was noncommittal.
"Since you know everything, you should also know the purpose of inviting you here today, and you dare to come alone without asking King Mu for help? Didn't arrange for anyone from your Light Chaser Club to come over? β
Liu Jichuan looked at Xu Shen with interest: "In the tavern before, you still dared to drink water, aren't you afraid that I will poison your water in advance?" β
Xu Shen glanced at him quietly, but just sighed.
"That's the opportunity I gave you......" Xu Shen said softly: "I can still paralyze you." β
"Huh?"
Liu Jichuan's eyes moved slightly, and when he looked down, he didn't know when there were black filaments under his feet, these filaments were composed of ruin power, extending from the ground, and his body had already encircled.
At this moment, he is like a butterfly falling on a spider's web.
It turned out that when he spoke before, Xu Shen was already quietly arranging.
Originally...... It's not just yourself preparing.
Liu Jichuan did not panic, but laughed.
Cute little guys.
There was a more regretful look in his eyes, and he was more pity and reluctance for Xu Shen.
"I really didn't see the wrong person......" Liu Jichuan chuckled, "But unfortunately, you are still a little immature now." β
As his words fell, the figures lurking on several oval arches in the church suddenly flew out and killed Xu Shen.
The body of one of the figures was refracted in a "Z" shape in the air, and it was instantly killed in front of Xu Shen.
The blade slashed suddenly.
With such an astonishing speed of raiding, Xu Shen, who had already peeked into their existence, couldn't help but change his face slightly.
Ever!
He drew his sword in an instant.
The brand-new sword blade, which was forged by Zhou Yuanyuan for him to deal with the suspected A-class ruin corpse with its body materials.
The blade of the sword is like a soft snake bone, with a touch of sharp toughness.
The swords intersected, and the face of the woman who attacked suddenly changed, but she didn't expect Xu Shen to be able to react, but she relied on her ability to assassinate, Xu Shen seemed to have already discovered her existence, not only that, but this kind of sword drawing speed ...... It's so fast!
If you are an ordinary person, even if you have already noticed it, you will not have time to draw your sword at all.
Zheng!
Sparks sputtered out like bone friction, and Xu Shen's eyes suddenly flashed with a chill like an abyss.
Sword slash, double!
Stacked waves!
The ruin power on his arm exploded instantly, and with a bang, the blade of the sword slashed out traces of rage.
