"Even if you are unfortunate enough to fall under the bewitchment of monsters, why should I kill you, or fight you to the death, and have no other choice? Maybe as long as I talk to you well, you might be able to come to your senses slowly......" Lie Que said slowly.

For a moment, I felt like his gaze wasn't on me.

"It's not what you said before." I don't understand why he suddenly changed his mind.

"I didn't know the Kraken was like that." His gaze returned to me, "If I can do it, I would also like to destroy it once and for all, but it cannot be truly destroyed, and if it is not resurrected in the flesh, it will inevitably bring unimaginable disasters to our world." At the same time, we must also try to ensure that the pollution that will occur after its resurrection can be quelled, and then we happen to have someone like you who is trustworthy and has a lot of 'successful practical experience', and you need to resurrect it in your lifetime to prolong your life...... With so many favorable conditions, it is difficult to find a reason not to take this plan. ”

"But the plan is based on optimistic estimates. What if something happens? I said, "Once 'it' is resurrected, I will be stronger again, and by a very large margin, and even the white horse may not be my opponent...... At that point, if I lose control, who will be able to stop me again? ”

I'm not talking nonsense, at least in terms of the increase in power, I have a basis.

In the past, I relied on the power supported by "it" to go from an ordinary person to a main warlock who could manipulate the power of true spirits. It seems that the ability to summon the Siren Blade freely is also based on the existence of "it". Now I can gradually understand that the reason why I was unable to master the power of the Siren's Blade in the past was that the Siren's Blade probably only served as a converter at that time, merely transforming the power of the true spirit called "Pollution" into the power of the true spirit that I could manipulate. It's still not my power, and naturally I can't master it.

And now I can summon the Siren Blade with my own strength, and I can also use the Siren's assistance to burst out with super-main power-level power. If you add the power that "it" supports, it's not as simple as adding it up. The Siren's Blade will multiply with the other powers I possess, elevating me to a level beyond the reach of my current self.

Coupled with the immortal nature that is likely to return to me at that time, I can't imagine anyone else capable of being my enemy.

I said this to Leq, but he still wasn't convinced. In his opinion, even if I become very powerful by then, even stronger than him in his prime, as long as I prepare for the relevant imprisonment and sealing in advance, I can deal with it. With the massive resources of the Security Bureau, combined with enough effort, and more importantly, combined with my own prior cooperation, it is not difficult to do such a thing.

There must be a lot of evidence to support his idea, and there is more than one such idea.

And seeing that he couldn't convince me, he stopped dwelling on this topic for the time being, but changed the conversation, "I originally said that I would join forces with you to kill and bite blood, but unfortunately, now it seems that I can't fulfill my agreement for the time being." ”

"The outside world is saying that you are crippled and can no longer regain your former strength." I observed him as I spoke. His body was restored, but his spirit was still in a state of serious injury.

"Let them go with those rumors, and I can't prove that I'm not crippled for the time being, because I'm really no different from being crippled now." He said lightly.

"Why not wait until you're fully recovered? It's dangerous for you to reappear now. I asked.

"I don't have the strength to recover as much as you, and I need to recuperate slowly for at least half a year to recover, and I can't let my students take the risk for me during this time. I'll take over the work of the Blue Bird later, and you don't have to worry about my own safety. "I'm still pretty good at protecting myself." Forty years ago, the bite of blood was also notorious in the hidden world, and I, as a rookie who had just debuted, provoked her early, but people like her who are so good at plotting against others have not been able to kill me three times or several times, why do you think it is? ”

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I'm a good runner too." He smiled rarely.

Many people, even me, often forget, that when he was a fledgling, he also had a very long period of embarrassment when he was chased by bitten blood until his feet did not touch the ground.

Countless defeats, wounds, tears, roars...... It is these things that accompany Lieque's youth and make him grow step by step into a strong man at the peak.

And now, even if he fully recovers from this serious injury, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to fight like he used to be.

According to my feeling, as long as he recovers, he will still be a super main warlock, but he may not be strong enough to bite blood in terms of hard power.

He will get weaker and weaker in the future.

Just as the past blood bite gradually degenerated from the super main level to the main level, he also entered a period of decline. In another month, he will be sixty years old, the so-called year of the sixtieth year. This kind of recession will happen sooner or later, but now it is ahead of schedule - no, he should have declined in the first place, but he had been holding on to it before, and this time the serious injury finally made him unable to support it.

He's old.

If it was just the aging of the body, there might be a way to recover, and Lie Que was not a half-breed with a special physique that was so special that it was extremely difficult to find a living sacrifice for his own life, but he seemed to be even old in mentality. For warlocks, this is the deadliest of all.

In the past, he would never say anything to my face, even if I fell, he would not kill me immediately, at least he would force himself in front of me and say with a majestic face, "If you dare to fall, I will kill you." And after this fight with the white horse, he showed a certain fatigue that could not be seen with the naked eye.

"Hmm...... The topic seems to have strayed a bit. Lieq looked at the glass box in my hand, as if he had just come to his senses, and then said, "You asked me why I gave you back the Siren's severed hand. ”

"Yes. Also, I'm curious as to why you'd allow me to participate in the Dawning Dream Battle. I said, "The last time you told me to 'wait until it's over,' is that time now?" ”

"Sort of. I'll explain it to you now. "Starting with the first question, the reason why I want to return the severed hand to you is because there is no other suitable person to keep it for the time being. ”

I answered, "How?" ”

"Headquarters is salivating over this severed hand right now, and Dawn and Hakuma Bacheng, who are hiding in the shadows, are not without the intention of reclaiming it, and as you can see, I am in a very bad state right now, and I am really not qualified for the position of custodian. The difficult thing is that I don't have other candidates with both strength and credibility in my heart. He said.

"So you tested me first?" I asked.

He nodded, "If you can get rid of the attraction of the Siren's severed hand to you, then there is no doubt that you are the only person who has both strength and credibility. ”

"I'm sorry, can I understand it that way—" I said, "do you think there might be something wrong with Fazheng?" ”

Fa Zheng, as a super-main warlock and faction leader, must have extremely outstanding strength and widely recognized public credit. And I have the impression that there is a very good personal relationship between Lieq and Fazheng, and they are both representatives of the law camp, as well as real pillars.

However, Lie's absence of a candidate only shows that Fazheng is not trustworthy in his eyes.

Then, I thought about more things, "Wait, the reason why you allowed me to participate in the Battle of the Dawning Dream Realm is because you don't want the severed hand to be captured by Fazheng?" In your opinion, instead of letting Fa Zheng seize the severed hand, it is better to let me, who is likely to get out of control, seize it? ”

"Well, I haven't even told you yet, you've already guessed it first. Yes, that's what I thought, I suspect that the law is with the corrupt elements of the Security Bureau...... There was even collusion with the eve before. He said solemnly, "I predicted in advance how the Battle of the Dawning Dream would play. After breaking into the Dawn Dream, there's a good chance I'll be spotted and intercepted by the White Pony before I can snatch my severed hand. If Fa Zheng arrives unhindered to the place where the severed hand is kept, I hope that at least one person will compete with him and be able to win. Of course, the reality is that Bai Ju didn't go to me first, but first went to find you who appeared there 'for some reason', but fortunately, you still snatched the severed hand before Fazheng. ”

"Regardless of what happens if the Kraken's severed hand is allowed to remain there the night before, if the severed hand falls into the hands of the corrupt elements at headquarters, it will become very troublesome afterward. Those people are very good at hiding things, and I don't have absolute confidence that I can find them, and I don't know what trouble will brew in the meantime. Rather than that, it's better for you to snatch it. He continued, "For one, you have enough strength to keep your severed hand for a while; Second, you're not good at hiding, and even if you get out of control and defect from the Security Bureau, I can easily lock down the whereabouts of you and the severed hand. ”

"To be honest, I have a lot of questions...... "First of all, Fa Zheng sat in the rear and commanded the law camp to exterminate the nation's Eve forces, and he also highly led and participated in the operation of the assault on Dawn Dream throughout the whole process, and he did not falsify his killing intent when he attacked Dawn in the battle. I can understand if you're talking about colluding with the corrupt elements of the Security Service, but you say he had an affair with the night before? ”

"It's really unreasonable, and it's one of the reasons why my judgment of myself is only in the skeptical stage." At this point, he changed his words, "However, do you know why I went to the headquarters after the Mirage Fog incident to thoroughly investigate the corrupt elements? ”

"Didn't you take this opportunity to return to the capital to get justice for Mingyi?" I asked.

"For me, getting to the capital from Liucheng is like going to the next door neighbor's house, so why 'take advantage of this opportunity'. In the past, I would leave this kind of justice to the legal camp of the headquarters, after all, I was politically driven out of the capital, and many places were not suitable for it. Now I don't do that because the law camp is no longer reliable. He said.

"Did you find any clues?" I asked.

"I got this clue from you in the first place." He said, "Remember the corpse of the investigation team you encountered in the fog of the mirage? ”

"Remember, the investigation team to which the body belonged ostensibly to find out the robbery of the equipment of the Mirage Security Bureau, but in fact intended to shield the director Juzhong and hide the evidence of his private dealings with fanatics." I recalled, "Because the investigation team was sent by the headquarters, the mastermind behind it must have been the high-level of the headquarters. ”

"Yes, and then in your report, it was also mentioned that the corpse of the investigation team said something like this to you at the time - they believe that the high-tech equipment seized by the Liucheng Security Bureau in the mass sleep incident is the equipment in the Mirage equipment robbery." He asked, "Why do they know what the Liucheng Security Bureau has?" ”

"It's because the fanatics failed in Liucheng." As I spoke, I reacted, "No, there is news circulating in the outside world that only the fanatic believers failed in Liucheng, but it doesn't say that the equipment of the fanatics has also been seized......

If it weren't for the fact that Blue Bird and I relied on the connection between Joan and his clone to raid the fanatic's stronghold in Liucheng in time, the fanatic would have had plenty of time to take those precious equipment with him, instead of leaving empty-handed.

Did the fanatics themselves tell the mastermind? It's not impossible, but it doesn't feel like it's in the style of a fanatic. His subsequent activities in the mirage market do not need more high-precision equipment support, and it is hard to imagine that his self-respecting personality will show his wounds to the people behind the scenes.

"Wait, after all, it should be normal for the people at the headquarters to know what valuables the Liucheng Security Bureau seized in a major case." I made my observations.

"You still have too little experience as a law enforcement warlock. Do not forget that the local security services are very closed and have extremely poor information exchange capabilities. Tianhe City is our neighbor, and we couldn't even find out what the only main warlock on their side looked like. This phenomenon is no longer in charge of each other's degree, it can only be said to be a curse of the warlock group. Lieq said self-deprecatingly, "The headquarters is the same for our Liucheng Security Bureau, they know that we defeated the fanatics, but they don't know what exactly we seized in that incident." ”

"But you've always reported it yourself, haven't you?" I asked.

"Yes. I reported it to the Fazheng, and the other high-ranking members of the Law camp should know the contents as well. "The headquarters is not very well organized on a day-to-day basis, and the various camps are not very active in exchanging information." Even if I reported the matter to Fa Zheng, and he went back and stored it in the public archives of the headquarters, it would be difficult for the investigation team sent by the headquarters to know about the matter, because they could not know in advance that the archives were lying exactly the key clues they wanted. ”

But if there are members of the Law camp in the investigation team...... No, if that's the case, just check the list of the investigation team a little bit, and you don't need to go around in such a big circle. I said, "You mean, the members of the investigation team are all from other camps, but the mastermind behind it is likely to be at the top of the Law camp, right?" ”

"Yes. At first, I only suspected that if the truth was that the fanatics had told the people behind my seizure of their devices, my speculation would not be tenable...... But as my investigation at the headquarters progressed, some clues gradually pointed to Fazheng. He said with a sinking face.
