Chapter 291: S-Class Plot

Ji Xun's wisdom when he broke the city before, and his bravery in leading everyone to rush to kill the consul's mansion, these were all seen by the rebels.

Most of the gladiators were bloody and reckless, and they also respected warriors.

This "trust" level, which has been brushed in advance, has also become a necessary condition for the plan.

What's more, the fatal wound of a dagger piercing the heart, no one will think that this is a disguise.

No one would have guessed that it was his own shadow that hit Ji Xun hard.

Ji Xun handed over the secret letter in his hand.

This was previously written by him using pen and paper in his study to imitate the Archon's handwriting.

There are several pieces of information on it, and the general content is that someone is secretly reporting the situation of the rebels in Valen.

Ji Xun wasn't sure what the space rules would block.

So a little bit is written from various angles.

Whichever NPC can "see" it, it's done.

At this time, the person who went out to chase the shadow also returned.

"Chief, that guy ran away just now, and he didn't catch it!"

"Very clever stealth ability, professional assassin. This method can only be a professional spy of the military."

"This is a bad thing, our actions are likely to have been targeted by the military for a long time. Even Valen City is a decoy. ”

"What now? There is still so much grain in the city, and if we don't transport it, we will find it difficult to hold on later. But if you want to ship, it may be too late. ”

“.”

A group of rebels circulated the letter, and their faces became very ugly.

That's when enlightenment also appeared.

"A-class hidden plot trigger: Your actions have attracted the attention of the military spies hiding in the rebel army, and they realize that the bait plan has been exposed, and the city-state coalition led by the famous general Marcus is speeding up the main line of the encirclement quest change, and you can't leave the space until the battle is over."

Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at Qiqi, and said in his heart: "It's done." ”

Now as long as these rebels realize that there is something wrong with this operation, it doesn't matter who the "traitor" is.

Because the purpose of finding out the traitor is to change the plot of being surrounded and annihilated by the rebel army and grasp some initiative.

Now the main plot has changed.

This is exactly the best result that Ji Xun wants.

If the original A-level main plot develops, Ji Xun and them must wait for the siege before breaking through.

Whether or not you can survive this kind of large-scale war in the end depends on luck.

And the "collar key" was not found.

There is a high probability that it will not get an S-level evaluation.

Even if he survived, that kind of clearance would be completely meaningless to him.

At the same time, Alice and Allen, two teammates who actually teamed up, also saw the inspiration.

In an instant, the flashing eyes of the two all showed their surprise: can the plot still operate like this?

Their original idea was simple, to use the information they knew to find "Golon". Then follow that guy to live as long as you can. Only by surviving can you think about finding the key and triggering the hidden plot.

However, this guy actually directly changed the main plot?

relied on the self-directed and self-acted assassination to directly turn the plot to uncontrollable.

But they have some initiative in the plot.

"Awesome"

Seeing the results, Alice and the two sighed in unison.

Seeing the subtlety of the layout, they were also shocked in their hearts.

No wonder the hero Aragorn has such a high opinion of this spy from the Eastern Wilderness.

And let them cooperate throughout the process.

Looking at it now, there is something special about it.

The card master of the [Wisdom] sequence?

Alice couldn't help but guess.

What surprised her the most was that she had tried many times with mind reading and found that this guy was extremely calm in his thinking the whole time.

Even if he was stabbed in the chest, he did not show a trace of unusually painful mood swings.

This is what she thinks is the most outrageous.

This guy has a kind of absolute confidence and madness in his heart, as if he has his own plans.

Dare to think, dare to do!

Without hesitation!

"Hurry up and transport the food, and don't leak this out for the time being. I'm going to confirm something. Everyone waits for news to act. ”

"Yes, Chief!"

“.”

The city's food reserves were at stake for the lives of millions of rebels.

So even if you know that there is danger, you can't give up right away.

Ji Xun also carefully observed the demeanor of this group of people throughout the whole process.

He also discovered that the face of the "Blood Blade" Battis, who got the letter, was obviously abnormal.

It's not just dignified, it's also complex.

When Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the surprise in Alice's eyes, Ji Xun also guessed that the "traitor" was really here.

"The leader of this rebel army is a traitor?"

Ji Xun's first reaction in his heart was the same.

But it was quickly vetoed.

The bloody nature of Battius is not something that a traitor can disguise.

Most likely, this guy may have realized who the "mole" was.

And the embarrassment and remorse between the eyebrows may be the relationship between the traitor and him, which is extraordinary.

Everyone cared about Ji Xun, the wounded, and dispersed.

Everyone knew that a terrible battle was coming.

In the dilapidated study, there were only three Ji Xun left.

Only then did Alice dare to ask, "Are you alright?" ”

As she spoke, her expression could not hide her anxiety.

After all, there are no medical professionals here, and this kind of fatality cannot be effectively treated.

However, without waiting for her to say anything more, Ji Xun pulled out the dagger on his chest without care, and responded casually: "It's okay." ”

The blood arrow shot to the ground, looking at Alice and Alan on the side, they were dumbfounded: Can this be okay?

The mana power of the "Immortal Curse" secret method quickly gathered at the wound, and the internal organs also quietly healed.

Ji Xun didn't want to explain his abilities.

In order to make the wound more realistic, he kept the skin trauma alive.

He also took out a surgical needle and thread by the way, and neatly sutured himself on the spot.

While stitching up, his tone was as calm as ever, and he asked, "Miss Alice, did you see anything just now?" ”

"Huh?"

Alice was visibly stunned for a moment.

She looked at Ji Xun, whose hands were covered with blood and stitched up her wounds, and was shocked by this operation.

There was no modern medicine in the Southern Continent, but she understood the skill in the suturing technique.

This is definitely a very skilled healing pathway card master.

After being stunned for a moment, she reacted to the question just now and responded, "Hmm." That one. The chieftain, Batiz, probably knows who the traitor is. I've followed with a spell. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the spell spirit seemed to have discovered something, and she reported: "Battiz went to a private house three hundred meters southwest. Some people were held there. ”

"Oh?"

Ji Xun listened to Batis go to the private house, and suddenly stood up: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

If nothing else, Alice's detection ability is really good.

The range of perception is even farther than one's own shadow.

Hearing this, Alice still had an expression of disbelief on her face and asked, "But, is your body really okay?" ”

Ji Xun said indifferently: "Hmm." ”

With that, he walked out the door first.

Although he felt that it didn't matter who the mole was, his intuition told him that this line might be able to dig into some other hidden plots.

Alice also knows that now is not the time for small talk.

The two followed.

Allen was the age when he had the most respect for heroes, and he was finally completely convinced by Ji Xun's hand.

The bloody picture of calmly stitching up his wound is engraved in his mind like a brand.

After all, he couldn't help but be curious in his heart, and asked sincerely: "That. . . How did you do that? Why did I tell those people that they ignored me? ”

“.”

Ji Xun fell silent.

It's not that he's arrogant.

It's that it doesn't explain that kind of logical deduction at all.

Just get it.

I don't understand how much I understand, no matter how much I explain.

Alice, who was on the side, also guessed that it might have something to do with his professional ability.

It's rude to inquire like this.

Without waiting for Allen to finish speaking, she stopped her companion's reckless behavior and said, "When you dare to stick the dagger in your chest like Mr. Ji Xun, you will know why." ”

Alan listened with a strange expression: "Huh? ”

Ji Xun smiled and said nothing.

That's pretty much the way it works.

After a while, the three of them came to a residential area made of white stones.

At the door of a certain room, two gladiators armed with torches guarded it.

The three of them didn't get too close.

However, this distance from Ji Xun's shadow can already be quietly blended in.

Alice's "white crow" spell spirit on the side also flew in, and reported on current affairs: "There are more than a dozen women inside, and they are dressed as nobles."

Ji Xun nodded: "Hmm." ”

He saw it too.

And the conversation was heard.

This is the lady found in the previous consul's mansion.

Battiz deliberately protected it.

The inner ghost is also among them.

is similar to Ji Xun's speculation, the leader Batis really knows the "inner ghost".

But he had no knowledge of the conspiracy himself.

Battius rushed into the house, found the red-haired woman directly, and asked sadly: "Miss Mania, you deliberately gave me this information?" ”

The red-haired aristocratic woman named Mania was startled for a moment, but she didn't deny it, and then asked very calmly, "You know?" ”

"You !!"

When Battius heard this, it was like being struck by lightning.

Only a few high-ranking rebels knew about the plan to loot the city of Valen, and it was reasonably unlikely that they would be ambushed.

But there's another possibility!

That's where the problem comes from!

And the source of the information is this Miss Mania!

The daughter of the grain storer of Valen!

The relationship between the two has to start a long time ago.

A few years earlier, Battiz had been a prisoner of war and had become a gladiatorial slave in Valen.

A noble lady and a young handsome slave have a love affair that is destined to be fruitless.

It doesn't matter what the process is.

Importantly, after the rebels ran out of food, Batis thought of the rich granary of Valen.

Previously, in order to confirm the food reserves in the city, he also personally disguised himself and infiltrated the city to inquire about intelligence.

When he inquired from the grain merchant about this year's harvest and the city's vast reserves.

Battis's vigilance also made him smell a hint of conspiracy.

But coincidentally, at this time, he met his former lover by chance.

Then accurate intelligence was obtained.

This reassured him of his doubts and decided on this siege.

At first glance, this was a far-reaching conspiracy from beginning to end.

When the matter was revealed, the red-haired woman's tone suddenly became sharp, and she no longer concealed it: "Yes! Not only did I deliberately leak the information to you, but even the bumper harvest in Valen City this time, and the hoarding of so much food that was not shipped away, was all arranged by the military in advance. It's just the bait to attract you! ”

"You"

Hearing this, Battius stumbled.

The strong gladiator was barely able to stand still.

From the moment the spy was exposed, he had actually guessed this result.

Now hearing it with my own ears, it is as if the soul has been withdrawn from the body.

He muttered, "Why are you doing this?" ”

He knew that his wrong decision this time would cost hundreds of thousands of rebels their lives.

With only hatred and grief in her eyes, the red-haired woman shouted angrily, "Those damned slaves killed my father, my brother, my brother. Battis, what do you think of it! ”

But that wasn't the casualty of the breach.

Rather, he died on the battlefield.

Battis would have liked to explain.

It's war, and there will inevitably be death.

But he knew it didn't make sense.

All he saw at the moment was a pair of eyes full of anger.

The red-haired woman said again: "Human nature, in fact, is not to hate power, but to hate that power is not in their own hands!" Even if you succeed, when you sit in that position, you will find that you are no different from them! You don't realize that your rebels are committing adultery and plundering everywhere, using the plundered women as playthings, and collecting the looted treasures into their own treasury. What is the difference between this and what you think is the aristocracy of the source of evil? You hate the nobles and kill them, I can understand that. But you also take it as an act of righteousness to commit adultery with women, to plunder innocent people, and to cause endless bloodshed? ”

“.”

Battis couldn't argue.

Aristocrats aren't all bad people.

But again, the rebels are not all good people.

Once the war machine is in motion, it is often not subject to the will of the individual at all.

Battiz knew she was right.

After several years of conquest, he has long seen through the essence of war.

There is also a lot of human ugliness in the rebels.

Even if he tried his best to restrain it, the war would bring endless suffering and death after all.

After the red-haired woman finished speaking, she threw herself up her neck in resolute and angry anger and shouted, "Kill me!" It's like you killed my father and brother! ”

Battiz sighed, he didn't kill these women after all.

He walked out of the room with a gloomy expression.

Before Battis entered the house, he looked like a fearless bloodthirsty lion.

But the moment he walked out of the room, he was more like a dying old man at the end of his life.

"Complete the B-Rank Hidden Plot: Find the Mole in Valen. +30% Extra Gacha Chance"

The three of Ji Xun in the distance watched this scene and also knew the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that the mole was not in the rebels, but this red-haired woman.

No wonder the ancestors of Aragon did not say who the traitor really was.

Even if Battis knew, he wouldn't have said it.

After all, his former lover was a mole.

The wrong decision was also caused by him.

It's no different from him being a mole.

After Alice reported the information that the crow had heard, she also sighed: "So that's the case"

Alan muttered, "No wonder my teacher always warned us that love can make people lose their minds." ”

“.”

And Ji Xun listened to those words, but his eyes gradually deepened.

At this moment, the story cause and effect line of "Valen City Rebel Camp" is almost completed.

The previous clues of the severed head can also deduce the complete cause and effect.

At this moment, in his eyes, he saw the lines of fate entangled and extended in front of him.

But the plot is one thing.

Ji Xun thought of what the toad said before.

Detached from the plot itself, observe the war from the perspective of a bystander.

He saw certain phenomena that would inevitably arise after some "wars".

Pestilence, famine, endless violence, sinful greed, jealousy, unbridled lust, unearned greed, inflated lust for power.

All the ugliness of human nature is like a rat in the gutter, which can be covered up on weekdays, and it doesn't feel like it. And war is like a crowbar that lifts the cover of a sewer manhole, and all the dark and stench is exposed.

Ji Xun was thoughtful, and muttered to himself in his heart: "After the war happens, is it inevitable law?"

The most important idea of "I am the world" is that there is a cause and an effect.

This is a kind of cosmic law that can be deduced from the beginning to the result.

But Ji Xun couldn't accurately describe what he realized at the moment.

I can't grasp the feeling that is as empty as mist.

And his intuition told him that the toad wanted him to observe something else.

Deeper rules about the "layout" of the "war".

Alice on the side looked at Ji Xun's thinking expression, and thought that he was thinking about the next plot.

She also thought about it and put forward her opinion: "The woman inside is from the military. And Valen City will definitely not be able to hold it. If we can get her out, even if the city is broken in the future, we may be able to survive with her. ”

Hearing this, Allen's eyes rolled and he echoed: "Hmm! Sister Alice was right. Although we are in the rebel camp, the core of the story mission is 'survival'. This is the most likely way to find a way to survive at the moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xun spoke, shook his head and said, "It's not difficult enough. ”

He did not deny the claim.

This is indeed a key breaking point to increase the probability of survival.

If you choose to use this method, there is a high probability that you will be able to leave the extradimensional space alive.

This is almost the same as the difficulty of the A-level plot itself.

However, it definitely does not reach the S level.

And.

Once they chose to surrender to the military, then they completely lost the possibility of finding the "slave collar key".

The key is in the rebel camp.

If you follow the main line, you will definitely not be able to get it.

Ji Xun's sentence "not difficult enough" also instantly brought Alice's thoughts back to reality.

Oh, yes.

The idea of cracking the heterodimensional space normally is correct.

But this time they weren't trying to live.

The two were also very distressed.

But they couldn't think of anything else.

Alice turned her gaze to Ji Xun who was thinking, read the calmness between his eyebrows, and said, "Mr. Ji Xun, what do you mean?" ”

Ji Xun responded with one word: "Wait." ”

"Wait?"

Alice didn't understand what to say.

At this time, the inspiration appeared: "The main plot changes: difficult choices. Badis realized that his decision-making mistake had brought a devastating disaster to the rebel army, and in order to keep more people alive, he planned to lead his troops to break through and attract military firepower before the encirclement was closedOptional tasks: 1. Follow Battiz to attract military firepower; 2. Stay behind in the city and break through with the large army; After selecting a mission, you can trigger a hidden story mission of the relevant difficulty."

"This"

Alice's eyes were stunned.

She instantly understood that this was what Ji Xun was waiting for.

Allen's heart was simple, and while he was shocked, he asked directly: "Do you know that there will be enlightenment?" ”

"Hmm."

Ji Xun nodded.

This is the result of his observation of the performance of the leader Battis.

That kind of bloody gladiator with affection and righteousness, knowing that he was wrong, will definitely try his best to make up for this mistake.

And now that the encirclement has not been completely closed, leading the army to break through will immediately disrupt the deployment of the military.

What those people in the military want to kill most are these high-level slaves who are proficient in combat skills, not ordinary slaves who are miners and stonemasons.

Therefore, it is inevitable that heavy troops will be used to hunt down Batis.

In this way, the rebels in Valen are likely to flee more.

It seems that the plot is developing uncertainly.

But after understanding Battis's character, you will find that this is his only and inevitable choice.

Ji Xun didn't explain much, but said, "You two choose to go with the big army." It's safer that way. If you can't leave, get the woman out of the house. As long as I can survive in the end. ”

While speaking, he decisively chose the follow-up mission branch, and the inspiration immediately appeared: "S-level plot trigger: follow Battius to break through to attract firepower, you need to follow the main team of the breakthrough to hold on to the end."

If you have to make an S-level evaluation, the alien space will disappear.

But it makes no difference whether this evaluation is done by one person or three people together.

Ji Xun chose to take this risk alone.

And he also felt that the follow-up battle was more convenient alone.

As soon as she heard this, Alice immediately understood something, and said without flinching: "I'll go with you!" ”

How she didn't understand that this one wanted them to "lie down" again.

But after all, this time the space is to save them, and Alice will not stay out of the matter and let an outsider take the risk!

She felt she could help.

And there is no choice.

In order to survive, she must gamble everything this time.

“.”

Ji Xun glanced at her.

secretly praised in her heart, this woman's courage is not bad.

But courage is courage.

For him, teammates who are not strong enough are a burden.

Alice understood the concern in Ji Xun's heart, and quickly explained: "My ability is more suitable for survival in battle. ”

Saying that, in order to show her determination, she directly chose the breakout mission, and the triggering inspiration of the S-class plot also appeared immediately.

“.”

Ji Xun glanced at Alice and didn't say anything more.

None of the Fifty-Two Demon Mystic Methods are simple.

Since she dared to say this, she must have some certainty.

As soon as Alice said something, Alan wanted to follow along.

But before she could speak, Alice was interrupted: "Alan, you are in the city, and the hidden plot may also be triggered here." One of us needs to be in town. ”

"But."

Eren wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a look in his eyes.

The three of them are divided into two camps, which is indeed the most reasonable choice.

The news hasn't gotten out yet, but the leader Battiz is already gathering his men.

Ji Xun and Alice chose the breakthrough mission and rushed towards the assembly point.

After all, it was the first time to encounter an S-level difficulty plot, and Alice couldn't hide her worry on her face.

She also knew that if she rushed out this time, she would inevitably die.

However, what surprised Alice even more was that Rao was at this juncture that could be said to be a life-and-death decision, and she was so pressed by the pressure of death that she felt that her breathing was heavy.

She turned her head.

was surprised to find that the guy next to him still had a faint but deep calmness in his eyes.

Where did this guy get the confidence?

Or would he not be afraid at all?

At this moment, Alice was really surprised.

She didn't hold back anymore, and asked directly, "Mr. Ji Xun, are you sure?" ”

Ji Xun laughed at himself and said, "S-level mission, who dares to say that you can pass it with confidence?" ”

Alice was stunned when she heard this: "But."

I'm not sure, you're too calm, aren't you?

Alice changed her mind again and asked, "Do you have an idea of this plot?" ”

After all, it was a teammate who wanted to break through together, Ji Xun didn't want to hide it, and said, "Well." There is some speculation. ”

Alice cast an expectant look: "Huh? ”

But the plot has developed so far, and she has admired the card master from the Eastern Wilderness in front of her from the bottom of her heart.

Ji Xun didn't ink either, and said meaningfully: "[Hero] will not back down, I suspect that 'Golon' should be in the breakout team." ”

Alice is also smart and can understand a little: "That's right! ”

The inheritance of card masters in the Southern Continent is more complete than that of the Eastern Wilderness.

She immediately understood what she meant.

[Hero] will not die so easily until he becomes a hero.

With the blessing of the hero's life, even if the plot changes, he is still not easy to die!

This is "Destiny", one of the supreme rules of the universe!

In other words, if that Goron is a hero, there is a high probability that he will choose to break through together.

Moreover, there is a high probability that he will not die!

“.”

Ji Xun looked at the sudden look in Alice's expression, grinned, and felt that he had saved his tongue.

S-class plots are mostly hearsay to others.

But for Ji Xun, he has enough actual combat experience.

Outside, he will definitely choose this situation carefully.

But in the extradimensional space, even if it is an S-level difficulty plot, the will of space must have a glimmer of life.

It's up to the adventurer to grasp it.

The information he got from the toad made Ji Xun basically guess where the "glimmer of life" was.

He gambled.

Bet that "Golon" will appear in the breakout team.

If you bet right, it's a glimmer of life.

Bet wrong, die.
