Chapter 110: The choice of a team
Inside the City of Eternal Night.
The [Moonlight Retreat] is the only organization that can compete with the [Round Table Council].
It's no exaggeration to say that if half of Eternal Night is controlled by the Council, then the other half is ...... It belongs to the hermitage.
I remember the last time I talked to the sheriff named Yuyu, Chen Jing had heard something about these ancient sects.
The ambitions of these sects are much greater than most people think.
Hanging City, Polar Day.
The councils in both places have largely left the local sects in the air.
The only place where the situation is stable is Eternal Night.
Only this moonlit city has not yet been swallowed by the forces of the sect.
So when he saw these monks walking into the mall, Chen Jing's first reaction was not to go up stupidly to report his home, but to take out his mobile phone and call Chen Bofu.
Soon.
The sound of an old man yawning came from the other side of the phone.
"What's the matter?"
"We buy things at the mall." Chen Jing sat on the bench and stared intently at the monks who were walking slowly and were still looking around, "The people from the hermit have come here. ”
"Oh." The old man said, his tone very calm, "Have they embarrassed you?" ”
"Not yet." Chen Jing replied truthfully, and then asked the old man, "Do I go to say hello to them, or do I ask someone from the council to help, I remember that I was told last night that I could find her in trouble......"
"Look for her." Chen Bofu yawned, as if he hadn't woken up yet, "Although I don't need the council's help to find anything anymore...... It's a way to turn ordinary people into old people...... But the deal is still there. ”
Chen Jing snorted and explained.
"If I had to choose the council and the monastics, I would have chosen the council, at least they were, and the city was still a little vibrant, if those madmen swallowed the council......"
As he spoke, Chen Bofu yawned again, and his voice became deeper and lower.
"Then let's not think about having a peaceful birthday."
"Understood." Chen nodded.
"I'm worried that I won't have a chance to trouble them, if I can...... It's not a bad idea to light a fire, just don't let the monastic see that you're doing it on purpose. Chen Bofu said meaningfully.
"Okay, then I'll go to the night." Chen Jing laughed.
Although he had already guessed that the old man would say this, he still needed this phone call to confirm that he had not guessed wrong.
"You go back to sleep, I've bought everything, I'll be back later."
Chen Bofu hummed in a daze, and then hung up the phone, seemingly not worried at all...... Of course, from a certain point of view, such a trivial matter is really not worth worrying about.
Although the strength of the [Moonlight Hermitage Order] is certainly terrifying, that kind of behemoth may not be taken into account by the old man.
Plainly.
He's a beast, and he's not mentally right.
Once this old madman is provoked, even if the Hermit Society chooses to use all its strength to kill him, I am afraid that it will have to pay an extremely painful price.
This price.
It is something that the hermit at this stage cannot afford.
"It looks like I expected...... The deal is still ...... The old man didn't want to carry a thunderbolt...... Looks like I want to take this opportunity to take sides......"
Chen Jing rummaged through the phone number of Xuye, which was copied from Xuye's business card last time.
In fact, the old man's thoughts are not difficult to guess.
If you don't let the people of the council help, then if you want to save your words this time, you must move the old man's name out and use it.
This is basically another offense [Moonlight Retreat].
And most importantly.
This is almost equivalent to letting the old man carry the thunder alone.
So what is urgently needed now is to make everyone think or understand that the old madman has been mixed with the council.
As for what the old man said...... That's what I thought, right?
"I can't let them see that I'm doing it on purpose, and I have to find a reason to light a beautiful fire...... So how should this fire be lit......"
Chen Jing assumed all kinds of possibilities that could ignite the fire in his mind, and at the same time, his fingertips kept pressing, and he quickly found the phone number of Xuye in the address book and dialed it.
Soon.
The voice on the phone was cool and soft.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Preface...... Sister Prologue? ”
Chen Jing didn't know what to call it for a while, and it seemed a bit raw to call the chief of security, but they really didn't know each other very well.
However, I have heard the old man mention it before, and Xu Ye is a few years older than him.
"Are you...... Chen Jing? ”
Even if the two had only met once, Xu Ye on the other end of the phone still remembered Chen Jing's voice, and she was a little surprised in the face of this sudden call.
"Sister Xuye, didn't you tell me that you can find someone in trouble...... I'm here in the central mall, and the monastic seems to be trying to make things difficult for me. ”
"Can you elaborate on that?" The tone of the preface was still peaceful, revealing a hint of a woman's unique tenderness, "Why should they embarrass you?" ”
"Yanque is my friend." Chen Jingyan explained succinctly, "I took her out to go shopping, and the people from the monastic came with me. ”
"Yanque? It's a familiar name...... Is it the defector wanted by the Insurgency? ”
Xu Ye fell silent as he spoke, as if he was thinking about how to deal with this matter.
"It's okay Sister Xuye, if it's inconvenient for you, I'll go find my grandfather and ......"
"There's no inconvenience."
Prologue was like a real big sister, reminding Chen Jing in the tone of teaching her younger brother.
"If you let your grandfather come forward alone, it won't be a good thing for your Chen family, with us, this matter will become a lot easier, and you don't have to worry about the retreat after the fact, you will dare to come to find trouble......
On the other end of the phone, there was a voice from Suosuo, who seemed to be getting dressed.
"I'll get up now...... I'll be there," Xuye said in an unhurried tone, as if he wasn't in a hurry at all, "the swineherd is closest to you...... I'll let him go and have a look. ”
"Thank you, Sister Xuye."
After a simple farewell to Xuye, Chen Jing hung up the phone.
Carrying the shopping bag at his feet, he quietly followed the group of monks from the monasticism.
Since the fire is ignited, it is better to take the initiative.
Anyway, you can't hide it......
What needs to be considered now is how to light this fire.
In Chen Jing's fusion of memories.
Eternal Night City is barely a reasonable place.
After all, the [Round Table Council] has a deep roots here, and compared to the councils of the other two cities, the Eternal Night Council is less infiltrated by sects, so everyone in this place is more disciplined......
For example, the monks who came to catch the sparrows.
They didn't make a big show, but were extraordinarily low-key, and even took the elevator upstairs to go upstairs.
It's not like the old man, who jumps up directly as soon as his legs are bent.
But there's no denying it.
The inhabitants of the city are still in awe of the Moonlight Retreat.
It can be seen from the fact that when the monks entered the elevator, passers-by avoided them.
They got into the elevator, and outsiders didn't dare to get in at all.
Except for Chen Jing.
Just as the monks pressed the button on the 6th floor, a white and slender hand suddenly reached in from the outside to block the crack in the door that was about to close.
"I'm sorry......"
Chen Jing carried a large bag of things and squeezed into the elevator with a smile.
But before he could take a closer look at the approximate strength of this group of monks, an extremely familiar face instantly met his eyes.
"It shouldn't be...... It can't be so coincidental......"
Chen Jingqiang pretended to be calm and glanced at the young man standing in the corner, with ten thousand incomprehensible question marks in his heart.
"Why is this kid here?!"
