Chapter 62: Restlessness
"We'll be there, if you want."
What the hell are you talking about?
Ittingevil stood outside the gate of the hospital and smoked a cigarette, feeling a little anxious for no reason. He looked up at the girl's hospital room, which was pitch black, and it seemed that she had gone to sleep with the lights out.
The review of the troll case is at a critical juncture, and the group of idiots in the Intelligence Bureau finally can't hold back and start playing demons. They demanded that the task force hand over the prisoner to the interrogation office on the grounds that "the task force had been interrogated for a week and still did not get any results", and in the face of this obvious act of stealing credit, Yi Qingsong actually agreed to this decision, and it is difficult not to suspect that the mastermind behind the scenes did something.
Once the transfer is complete, even if the Intelligence Bureau is unable to ask for any information, it will at least prevent the team from obtaining further information.
What's more, can the transfer really be completed smoothly?
Naturally, the Intelligence Bureau will not let the prisoner die on his own turf, so if the killer strikes on the transfer and successfully kills the suspect...... This not only protects the big shots, but also puts the responsibility on the side of the action team and alleviates the action team's suppression of them.
Officials protect each other, and power is traded. What a rotten stench. Eiten took a vicious puff on his cigarette.
The time to hand over the escort was tonight, Yi Tingxie and Li Qing were in charge of the mission as the captain and vice captain, while Li Qin stayed in Lin Zuzu's ward to process the information.
A silver-gray ride-hailing car stopped beside him, and he snuffed out the cigarette butt on the smoke extinguisher column and got into the back seat of the car.
"Master, hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Yi Tingxie looked at the time, in order not to disturb the girl, he had been waiting outside the door of the ward until Li Qin came back, so he delayed for some time.
"Okay, Mr. Yi, please fasten your seatbelts." The driver's voice did not hear any ups and downs, and even had a sense of disobedience that did not resemble a living person.
The vehicle started slowly, and Eiten's evil fighting spirit was instantaneous, holding the hilt of the knife to warn the enemy.
"Since I communicate with you in this way, it means that I have no ill intentions." The driver seemed to laugh.
Ittingevil found a clue - it was a puppet.
Ordinary puppets can perform simple actions and words in the process of being manipulated, but this one can not only speak words fluently, but can also complete complex behaviors such as driving.
He knew who was on the other side.
"Not really, right?"
This act of unwittingly replacing the ride-hailing service that came to pick him up is not a demonstration to him - "your every move is under surveillance".
Even, there is a faint meaning of using the lives of the two people left in the hospital as bargaining chips.
"Heh, that will depend on your answer."
The situation in Shangjing is complicated, the forces of all parties are intertwined, and all important positions are more or less related to the "family".
Yi is no exception.
It's just that their foundation is still shallow and they can't really compete with the other four major families, so they chose to save the country and focused on the establishment of their power in Lize City.
"We don't want to make enemies, but we just sold a few alien races, such a small matter, if you want an explanation, we will give you an explanation."
High up bastard.
"Why don't you choose Yan Zhe?" Itin asked quietly.
Yan Zhe is not from a large family, and his current status and achievements are all based on those fists one by one, so theoretically speaking, he is better controlled than the "Yi" clan. Ji Liangchen is a typical example, even if he is strong and has a high position as a messenger, he is still subject to his family.
"Hehe, ask knowingly."
Indeed, Yatingevil could probably guess the reason.
Compared with a hero like Yan Zhe who has lofty ideals and vainly tries to rectify the corrupt status quo of the intelligence bureau and the action team, a selfish "villain" like Yi Tingxie is better to make a deal.
"But you almost killed my apprentice." Yi Tingxie remembered the bullet aimed at Lin Zuzu's head in the video. As long as she runs a little slower, as long as Zheng Mu is half a second late......
The "Gong" and "Qi" families are friendly with the "Yi" clan, and they will definitely not attack Lin Zuzu, so it can only be the "Ji" clan and the "Long" clan. These two have been immersed in the officialdom and business circles for many years, and neither one is easy for the other three to fight against.
"This is indeed an oversight on the part of the people below. However, although children with that kind of qualification are rare, if you really want them, we can also send you a few. Or do you like this type of girl? ”
Less fart!
Itting's anger exploded, and he didn't choose to continue talking nonsense with the other party. The silver blade was unsheathed, along with the car seat, and he chopped off the puppet's head with a single sword, revealing the internal mechanics.
"Click-"
The headless puppet twitched twice, but did not completely stop moving, and the vehicle continued to move smoothly.
"To be honest, rather than trading with you like this, I'd rather fight with Yan Zhe openly."
"It's really young, shouldn't you do whatever it takes to achieve your goals? Or is that all you have to realize? However, whether you accept it or not, the gift will be delivered on time, after all, it is only a notification. "The golem's mouth is still open and closed on the fallen head.
"Of course, for the last time."
"Extreme Intention: Flick of the Fingers"
The tip of the knife stabbed deftly into the puppet's head and torso, moving at a small speed for a short period of time, the puppet shattered into powder, and the annoying mechanical sound finally disappeared.
Using this move made Itima a little dazed, and he remembered a certain serious and somewhat old-fashioned figure, because this was the sword style he had created. Coincidentally, this senior brother of his, recently appeared in the closing report of the Heavenly Tribulation.
The car finally came to a slow stop, and Ittingevil got out of the car and shifted to the driver's seat, and he settled his mind and sped away with one foot on the accelerator towards Zone 1.
***
There is still an hour left before the troll escort mission begins. Li Qin stayed in the ward, taking into account the state of the girl while paying attention to the task situation.
Lin Zuzu was very anxious.
While her teammates were fighting, she could only lie on her back weakly. The stinging and itching of the burns all over her body made it impossible for her to calm down.
I want to fight too......
Whether you're a bounty hunter or an alien, let me pick up my sword again......
Why did I recover so slowly from my injuries this time, and am I really useless?
I don't want ...... I don't want that......
Move, move!
Lin Zuzu tried to raise his hand and hammer it at his body, but the pain did not hit as expected, and a pair of gentle hands supported her movements.
It's Li Qin.
"Lin Zuzu! Lin Zuzu! ”
The woman's voice revealed a rare hint of anxiety, and she pulled the girl out of her stupe.
"Sister...... I'm going to be fine, right? ”
Li Qin watched the folded line on the ECG monitor stabilize and said with a sigh of relief:
"You're going to be fine, you're going to be fine."
She gently took the girl's gauze hand, as if to convey her strength through such an action.
Lin Zuzu felt his eyes sour.
She knew that the cold-looking woman was actually very gentle, because she hated physical contact, even through clothing, and wore leather gloves that did not have a strength bonus during the mission. Initially, the girl was injured by the explosion, but it was Li Qin who patiently fed her the porridge one bite at a time.
If...... If only they hadn't done that. Lin Zuzu thought about it more than once.
However, the wood is already in the boat.
……
That night, Lin Zuzu, who had not dreamed for a long time, was swallowed up by nightmares again because of weakness.
Standing in the middle of the intricate and gorgeous garden, surrounded by a dazzling array of flowers, Elise smiled at the girl's miserable appearance, and seemed very satisfied with it.
"What do I say, I'll make you lose everything, what else can you do without power~"
Black vines danced from behind her back like poisonous snakes, but they didn't attack.
Yes, for a wasted person, it is not necessary.
Elise walked step by step, and the contemptuous smile on her face slashed at Lin Zuzu's heart like a sharp blade.
Lin Zuzu was not at all worried that Elise would kill the killer when she was so weak, because this was the situation she liked to see - to live weak and powerless, and then watch everything around her be taken away.
The beautiful elf stroked the girl's right arm, causing a real spasm.
"Oops, you can't seem to hold a knife in your hand~" She said pretending to be surprised.
"...... Get out of my head. ”
She wondered if Elise was nearby, and had used a spell to invade her brain to torture herself.
"So what are you going to do? Stare me to death with your eyes? Still ...... with your teeth," Elise's sneering voice came to an abrupt end.
The garden scene in front of her distorted in an instant, and she returned to the silent dark space.
"You're really impatient, Zero." The black Grim Reaper shook his head helplessly.
