Chapter 18: When Darkness Invades Light
Based on real events.
The bulletin board in the center of Castlevania is located at the bottom of the building where the management team usually works, with only a few flights of steps in between.
"It's a bold group of people to hold organized meetings here in such an open and honest way, and to write about it everywhere in the information strip. It's no wonder that the Book of Demons told me that these administrators are all eating dry food. Chu Wan took off the hood of his head, revealing his disguised face, "However, it is also possible that this is just a hoax...... Using a fake identity should be the right choice, and hopefully they won't come to inspect my face just because I'm wearing a black cloak. ”
"Probably not, they have dared to put those things so blatantly on the intelligence strip, and gather in such a place so openly, are they afraid that someone will come to investigate?" Mingxin accosted her while helping Chu Wan pay attention to the vicinity of the bulletin board, where people have been coming and going, and there seems to be nothing abnormal.
Hatsuwan also quietly watched the movement near the bulletin board, and saw a group of people wearing long cloaks and masks walking towards it in groups.
This phenomenon was not unusual, but Chu Wan noticed that there was a phoenix-crown-shaped mark on their clothes, which was the mark she saw on Jiang Lingyue's group, so she motioned to Mingxin to wait, and she quickly walked through the crowd and walked to the front of this team despite Mingxin's obstruction.
She gently reached out and patted the shoulder of the person walking in front of her, and asked, "Excuse me, is this the meeting place of the '1187 Victim Group'?" ”
"yes." The man apparently did not shy away from saying, "Poor child, are you also disgusted by the shameless behavior of Number 1187?" ”
"Actually, I ......" she originally wanted to say "I used to be a friend of 1187", but I thought that someone might know that she didn't match the setting of "just here" made up by Mingxin yesterday, so she changed her words, "I don't know about her, I just came here yesterday, and I found that there is a lot of information about what she did in the intelligence group, which seems to be some very bad behavior, and I happened to see information about this 'victim group', so I wanted to learn about her, and I will meet her in the future......"
The man was silent for a moment, and finally let her join the group, and finally they stopped in front of the bulletin board, lined up in an orderly manner, put their hands on the bulletin board one by one, and then naturally walked through it and disappeared - presumably a way to enter the private space of multiple people, and the people around them didn't seem to be attracted by the disappearance of this strange group, as if the group of people didn't exist at all.
Chu Wan was the last to enter, and only after entering, did she carefully count the number of people in this group in her heart, and with her own words, there were fifteen in total. That's a lot more than she thinks she has a grudge against her.
Those people seemed to be going to perform some strange ritual to surround Chu Wan in the middle, and the leader at the beginning took off his hood and mask and walked out slowly, Chu Wan looked carefully, and it turned out that the person was Jiang Lingyue. Chu Wan didn't hear his voice before, probably because he had deliberately disguised it, and he still spoke in this disguised voice.
"Welcome...... This young lady with a face. Jiang Lingyue looked at the person in front of her, her brows furrowed slightly, and then she sneered and said, "Since you are a newcomer who has just come here, then I have to tell you that 1187 has done far more bad things than you have seen from the intelligence group." ”
"Really? Please tell me as much as you can. Chu Wan raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Lingyue let out another strange laugh, Chu Wan was not surprised by this at all, just felt a little nauseous, but she still decided to listen to it. I only heard the other party say: "This is not suitable for me, but you can ask this Lin Wuji ......"
Lin Wuji? Sounds a little familiar, Chu Wan was stunned for a moment, followed Jiang Lingyue's gaze, and saw one of the people in the crowd slowly taking off his hat, revealing a thin face. And this face was enough to make Chu Wan feel a wave of fear - because this was one of the administrators of Castlevania, and with the administrators involved in this organization, she couldn't think of anything worse than this.
No, in fact, it should be said that this person who personally made the information he saw in the [Feast] before becoming an administrator actually became the administrator of Castlevania (administrators are not allowed to be biased against anyone, and Lin Wuji became an administrator on the basis of bias), then nothing could be more outrageous.
Chu Wan looked at him in a daze for a long time, feeling a buzzing ring in his ears, and he couldn't think of anything.
"Oh, our poor administrator." Jiang Lingyue's words interrupted Chu Wan's thoughts, only to see him approach Lin Wuji with a wicked smile, "Every time 1187 comes to the city to make trouble, he comes forward to stop it, which can be regarded as a hard work." ”
Lin Wuji seemed to have a headache and helped his forehead, shook his head, sighed and said: "Yes, she is tired and doesn't raise her salary, and she is very difficult to catch, she has been on the run for more than half a year, and our administrator also has a headache." ”
Chu Wan was a little speechless, she didn't even dare to enter the city because of the wanted thing, where did she have the courage to go out and make trouble with great fanfare? Unless someone is impersonating her, this is impossible.
"Moreover, she never apologized for the things she did before, wrote on the intelligence note, and even more brutalized us people, most of us have been friends with her before, but unfortunately, she doesn't seem to think so." Jiang Lingyue continued, "She has always pretended to be pitiful to win sympathy, and we, as well-deserved victims, have never received a fair apology. ”
Fuck, who's the victim? And he apologized at least eleven times, not to mention that there were two letters of apology requested by Jiang Lingyue and Qin Yufeng to the intelligence group, had they all forgotten? Chu Wan thought to himself, this group of people made up nonsense and pretended to be very innocent, which is really disgusting. But she wanted more information, so she couldn't say anything now, so she could only pretend to understand and nodded.
Jiang Lingyue's eyes suddenly dimmed, she slowly approached Chu Wan, and her voice returned to the kind that Chu Wan had heard before: "Then, there is one last thing now." ”
Chu Wan looked at him, and suddenly had a hint of ominous premonition, and then saw that everyone suddenly turned to her in unison, she took half a step back in a panic and sluggishly, only to hear Jiang Lingyue say: "Explain, Miss Chu Wan, why did you come to our organization?" ”
Chu Wan's brain buzzed, and his heartbeat missed a beat. Although she couldn't figure out how Jiang Lingyue recognized her, she knew that her identity might have been exposed, so she hurriedly drove the magic book out of her private space before she had time to think about it.
But Jiang Lingyue's movements were faster than her, and the moment she exited, the restriction of her private space was lifted, and all the people in the space pounced on her for a while, and she could only drive the protective shield to separate the crowd in order not to be caught.
She overheard, catching a glimpse of the people around her looking at her, realizing that her true face had returned to its original state, and staying in Canterlot like this would only attract more people, and she herself would turn to a passive disadvantage.
She turned her gaze to Mingxin in a nervous state, and then used her magic to teleport herself to Mingxin's side, and she took her hand as she drove the magic book and said, "Let's go!" ”
Mingxin didn't seem to react, what's going on, anyway, when she came back to her senses, the two of them were already in the forest on the outskirts, she stayed where she was for a while, and then she began to turn her gaze to Chu Wan and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"My identity was exposed, I didn't take the initiative to show the prototype, but it was exposed." The action just now made Chu Wan a little frightened, she gasped, her tone was still a little trembling, "In addition, I got a very important news...... It's enough for me to confirm that there's no way I'm going to beat them...... There are a lot of them, and there are fourteen of them if you remove me, and it is impossible for me to defeat so many people alone, although it is said that the self-purifier is clear, but there are so many rumors, I guess I can't clear it...... And they have the backing of the administrators, who would trust someone who even the administrators are involved in the exclusion? ”
Mingxin seemed to want to say something, but suddenly pulled Chu Wan's sleeve in horror, signaling her to look behind her, Chu Wan turned around, bumped into Jiang Lingyue's face, startled, and subconsciously blocked in front of Ming Xin, blocking Ming Xin with a cloak.
"Ahh Jiang Lingyue showed a very innocent look, "Why are you so flustered, I'm here to discuss things with you." ”
"I don't have a good heart......," Chu Wan said angrily, "that's not what you said when you were going to hunt me down on the bulletin board.
"Huh." Jiang Lingyue smiled maliciously, "I know you've always wanted to pull back a game from me, this negotiation is a good opportunity, don't you think about it?" ”
"It's as if you're really going to give me that kind of opportunity." Chu Wan glared at him.
Jiang Lingyue shrugged her shoulders, spread her hands and said, "Of course I will give you such a chance, I can tell you my most fatal weakness, but only if it is ...... You have to get the person behind you to leave, I don't really like to have a third party in the negotiation. ”
Chu Wan was a little skeptical, but if what he said was true, it was a good opportunity, although it wasn't very likely. She thought about it for a while, and finally turned her head to Mingxin and said, "You go first, and I'll look for you later." ”
Mingxin hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to listen to Chu Wang, and teleported away with a magic book.
Chu Wan put down his cloak and looked at Jiang Lingyue and said, "Don't talk about it." ”
"Of course not, I've always kept my word." Jiang Lingyue stretched out her arm and motioned for Chu to hold her hand, "The wall has ears, let's go to the private space and talk, you can record the content." ”
Chu Wan didn't believe him, but since he said so openly that he could record the video, there couldn't be anything strange, so he grabbed his arm and followed him into his private space.
