173 Honest
Ever since he accidentally hugged me, Zhu Dian has been silent, and he always keeps his distance from me when he moves, as if he is afraid that he will lose his temper again. Intimate contact with my enemy must have made her uncomfortable, but it would be difficult to communicate if she continued to maintain this sense of distance. Fortunately, when we found a meeting place, she seemed to have sorted out her mood and re-established communication with me in a work tone that did not carry any emotional overtones.
She first used the Detective spell at the meeting point from a distance. said that she was using a spell, but she couldn't see any "sound and light effects", but she felt that an extremely hidden spiritual fluctuation spread from her body. When it was over, she turned on a tense face and said to me, "There are strange fluctuations from there, like those who can't die, and the number is about three. And, there's a demon sorcerer there. ”
Nine times out of ten, the Demon Warlock will lose, as for the other three undead......
I put my mind back to something else for now, "Is it possible that the bite blood is lurking there?" ”
"It's not possible. Although it is also mentioned in the information that she has a strong latent ability, since she is a super main warlock, she can't fool my detection with such a huge power. Zhu said firmly, and then asked, "Are you really going to cooperate with that demon warlock?" ”
I thought for a moment, "Do you have a way to find the missionary using tracing?" ”
"I can't do it." She shook her head, "The missionary's ability to infiltrate is also extremely strong, and it's not that the law enforcement warlock who has no tracking ability is no less than mine before, has tracked him, but all of them have returned in vain. As long as he's single-mindedly hiding, I can't track him down. ”
"Then, we can only meet with the loser first." I say.
That being said, I may have somewhat overestimated my tolerance.
We entered the shop where we met. The shop, despite its signboard, was already vacant for rent, and most of the items in the store had been removed, not even a chair or stool. Inside, there was a man sitting on the floor with an evil spiritual fluctuation emanating from him, and he was not surprised to see us walk in, but instead showed a contrived welcome expression. Obviously, he was a demon warlock.
"You're just the Security Bureau warlock who made an appointment to meet me?" He laughs.
"Yes, we are." As I spoke, I didn't stop moving, but strode to the back room and opened the door.
Actually, I know very well that since there are three immortals here, the Eight Achievements are guilty of catching nearby passers-by and "doing something" to them before we arrived. I thought I was mentally prepared for it, but when I saw the scene inside, I still had an irrepressible boiling emotion. There was a large amount of shredded flesh in the room, and judging by the number and size of the limbs, as well as the fragments of clothes on the ground, it was a family of three. All the flesh twitched in pain, as if wailing silently.
If they become like this, they will never be able to recover, and I can only free them. But before I do that, I should probably kill the loss first.
The question is, should I really kill this hard-won informant?
Just as I was still trying to think calmly in the boiling emotions, Zhu Di was one step faster. Without hesitation, she raised her hand, and the long red knife appeared in her hand out of thin air. Then, excitedly, she turned around and slashed at the loser.
Losing was completely afraid to fight back, but hurriedly protected his head, and at the same time used his spiritual power to defend his whole body. With Zhu Dark's weak strength, it was not enough to penetrate this layer of defense, but her long red knife was incredibly sharp, and it tore this layer of defense apart, and the successive slashes cut the loss into flesh and blood.
Seeing this scene, I regained my composure a little. It's just that Zhu Di is really that angry? Or did she just think she should be angry at this point? Her performance is more like acting, but not for me and lose, but for herself.
"Is it angry to hit me? Don't forget, you're going to have to rely on me next! The voice of the loss was painful and fearless, and he seemed to rely on the unique sensitivity of the demon warlock to killing intent, and he was determined that Zhu Dian would not really kill himself.
"You-" Bead stopped slashing and stared at him deadly.
But is it really necessary for us to work with him? If I just want the clues he has as an informant, then I just kill him and get his memories, and the result will be the same, right?
I seriously turned the thoughts that killed him.
He looked at me suddenly, his face frozen as if he had been choked by his throat.
However, I put aside the idea of killing him right away. His usefulness as an informant is not limited to intelligence, and more importantly, he is also unaware of the whereabouts of the missionary and the Red Glove like other demon warlocks. Let's see what he has to say next.
The later the missionaries and the Red Glove are addressed, the more victims of the "pollution" in Puqing City will be, and we must take advantage of everything we can to exploit, even if we are such a demonic warlock. I have heard that law enforcers in secular society sometimes develop informants in gray areas, or even in black areas, in order to better control crimes, and perhaps the same is true. It's just that knowing is knowing, and it's still very challenging to endure to really accept this.
Is it because I want to avoid that I can't help but be angry, so I deliberately preempt my attack and lose? Probably not, she must have thought that I was a genuinely evil scumbag no different from a demon warlock.
I summoned the Siren Blade to help free the undead in the inner room, and then returned to the face of the loser.
"The first time we met, I was Rensai, a law enforcement warlock." I didn't know what to start with, so I had to use a sentence that would inevitably be a bit stiff in this situation.
"Demon Li Duo...... "He must have heard of me somewhere before, but compared to my own face, it is really a weapon that is easier to recognize, and he looked at my weapon to kill the undead, and his face suddenly changed."
"Looks like I don't need to introduce myself." I said, "You captured and mutilated the undead?" ”
"Are you trying to condemn me morally? What can I do, I also have to obey orders. If I hadn't done the same as the other demon warlocks, I would have been killed by my own people before I met you. Isn't there a saying called 'emergency avoidance'? I'm here to save my life, what's wrong? He asked, like a cannon.
"Self-preservation? Those undead were mutilated by you and turned into such a miserable state, I think you are enjoying it. I said.
"How will you prove it, how will you condemn me? Is it just your words and feelings? He said, "I'm not afraid of you, I know, you're not as scary as you used to hear, you're just an unlucky ghost brainwashed by monsters." I heard that you have recently joined the legal camp of the Security Bureau, and you have also been a hero to save people? I'm not afraid of a good guy like you. ”
It seems that my reputation is really improving, and a good reputation has its side effects.
"Let's get down to business." Zhu Di suddenly spoke, "Why are you doing this informant?" It says you want to join the Security Service, what is your motivation? ”
"Hmph...... Nothing special, I just wanted to be in the winner's camp. "Losing is a matter of course.
"Do you think missionaries are bound to fail?" Zhu asked secretly.
"I don't know if the missionaries will fail this time, but they will fail in the end." Lost Zuo said his opinion, "The eve is indeed the most powerful demon warlock organization in this country right now, but even if it is, so what. No matter how impressive the gang of criminals is, it is just a gang of criminals, and if you hide well, you can still gain a foothold in the shadows, use darkness and shadows to make yourself look unfathomable, and once you get on the stage, it will immediately become a joke. ”
"And isn't that what we're doing now? The forces of the previous night are being wiped out by the Security Service all over the country at a rapid pace, and the organization that used to look so powerful is actually bursting like a bubble. He continued, "The winner of this hidden world war is destined to be the Security Bureau, and I don't want to go into the ground with this big coffin the night before." ”
"......I see," I said, "but I have to warn you in advance that you are a demonic sorcerer, and even if you do join the Security Bureau, you can only be a 'bad prisoner' who is limited in every way, and even your life is not under your control." ”
"I know very well that it's nothing more than a domestic dog for the Security Service. Of course, the treatment is definitely not as good as that of you, but how many people can't be dogs. He said disapprovingly.
I'm a little skeptical that he's secretly mocking me, because I'm not a "well-established" law enforcement warlock.
"So, do you know where the missionary is now?" I asked.
If he had said he knew, I might have been tempted to kill him and read his memories directly.
And disappointmently, he shook his head.
"I don't know." He said, "But I know how to get you to him, and ......."
After a pause, he continued, "I know what the missionaries are in this city for. ”
"Are you telling the truth?" I asked, "Is that a secret known to all of you?" ”
I already know from the memories of the demonic sorcerers that almost all of the missionary's men didn't know what he wanted to do, and were just doing what he was told. But I don't want to reveal my ability to read memories, so I pretend to know nothing.
"Not all of them. Aside from the missionaries themselves, the only people who knew were the Red Glove and me. "Lose to say.
"Who the hell are you?" Zhu said suspiciously, "There are still ...... Who are the Red Gloves? ”
I haven't explained to her where the Red Gloves came from, and this is just the right opportunity. I don't know why I'm able to know the missionary's secrets like a red glove, but I'm able to let Zhu know what she should know through the mouth of Osaku, and I can continue to conveniently hide my ability to read and remember.
But when I thought about it, I suddenly changed my mind.
"Wait." I let the loss stop first, and then I said to Zhu secretly, "I have something to talk to you alone." ”
Zhu Mi looked surprised, and then walked with me to the outside of the store, while Lost was left behind. As if she could see that I was inconvenient for Misa to hear, she cast a spell on the air. I felt an invisible barrier enclosing me and her, and it seemed to be a kind of anti-probing spell that could isolate the inside and outside of the barrier, so that people outside could not hear the voices of those inside. For a warlock like her, who is proficient in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, this kind of spell can be regarded as a basic skill.
And what I want to say to her is very simple, and that is to explain to her her memory reading ability.
Since it is to act together, it is the proper meaning to explain one's own strengths and weaknesses. I had consciously or unconsciously avoided exchanging important information with her because I didn't think I should reveal my ability to read memories, but this kind of concealment of important information would be selfish and dishonorable in a side-by-side relationship.
Admittedly, if she exposes my ability to read memories, it will inevitably cause a huge obstacle to many of my actions in the future. Rather, given her extreme resentment towards me, it would have been strange not to do so. But what she does is her business, and what I am going to do is mine. Even if she did do that, it would be the result of the bitter fruit I planted in the past, and I deserve the retribution for eating the bitter fruit myself.
More importantly, I don't want to deceive her in front of her.
After listening to me, she spoke after a while, her tone mixed with strong suspicion and entanglement, and her face was gloomy and asked: "Since you can get the memory of the person you killed, then is my husband's memory also ......?"
"No, I only got this ability last year." I shook my head.
Hearing this, she touched the bracelet on her wrist, closed her eyes as if she couldn't let go, and then looked at me again, "This ability of yours is not something that can be told to me casually, why do you want to tell me?" ”
I was about to answer, but she couldn't help but stop me, and even pleaded vaguely, "No, forget it, don't say it anymore......"
I closed my mouth while she took several deep breaths before taking off her bracelet.
"Since you have been honest with me about one thing, then I have to be honest with you about one thing as well." She said, "This is the prop I requested from headquarters. Because this mission required contact with an informant who was a demon warlock, the headquarters approved my application. And the function of this item is to 'detect lies'. If the person I'm talking to lies, it gets hot to remind me. ”
