Chapter 103: The Big Boss
"How did you get here? Didn't you say before that you would see each other as little as possible in the future? Ren Nanbei looked at the person sitting in his tent with a solemn face.
And this person is Liu Xiong, the head of the Liu family who met Ren Nanbei in the teahouse before.
Seeing Ren Nanbei's ugly face, Liu Xiong's face at the moment was somewhat nervous.
He said silently: "My son Liu Jin can join the Inner Courtyard Group to participate in the autumn hunting activities, and it is all taught by you." ”
"As a father, I naturally have to come over and thank you."
How could Ren Nanbei believe Liu Xiong's rhetoric, after all, if he really wanted to thank him, the most he could do was to arrange a thank-you banquet in the imperial capital after the event was over.
Why bother so much, come all the way from the imperial capital to Mumeng Mountain.
Obviously, this guy came with something to do.
"So ......"
Just as Ren Nanbei was about to open his mouth to ask Liu Xiong a question, Liu Xiong hurriedly made a silent gesture.
Then Liu Xiong threw a piece of talisman paper on the ground, and as the flames wrapped the talisman paper, a light curtain invisible to the human eye isolated the entire tent from the outside world.
"Now you can speak." After setting up a curtain of light to cover people's ears, Liu Xiong raised his hand at Ren Nanbei and motioned for him to continue.
"What can you say...... Ren Nanbei said helplessly: "You came to me, shouldn't you say it to me?" ”
The corners of Liu Xiong's mouth flashed with a wry smile: "It's true." ”
"So the head of the Liu family came from afar, what do you want to tell me?" Ren Nanbei asked with a frown.
But it seems to have been decided in my heart that Liu Xiong's coming here is not expected to bring any good news.
Sure enough, Liu Xiong sighed lightly, and then said with a serious face: "The big boss said that it has been very out of stock recently, and asked us to speed up the progress of replenishment." ”
As soon as these words came out, Ren Nanbei's whole face turned pale.
"Still restocked!?" Ren Nanbei stared at Liu Xiong and said, "Didn't the old man already make this matter clear before?" ”
"Now that the academy has been targeted by people who don't collect at night, if you act rashly, it is likely to fall short!"
"Of course I know this, and I've already reported the news back to the big boss." Liu Xiong nodded lightly.
"But." Liu Xiong changed his words and sighed slightly: "The big boss still hopes to be able to replenish the stock." ”
"I know that the previous few actions have attracted the attention of the Inner Elders' Council and the Night Guard."
"It's almost impossible to continue to act without leaking the news."
Without waiting for Ren Nanbei to open his mouth to refute, Liu Xiong looked at the tent behind Ren Nanbei and asked the other party in a tentative tone: "However, what if we take the opportunity of this autumn hunting activity?" ”
Ren Nanbei frowned slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Liu Xiong said: "What the big boss means is that he hopes to cause a beast tide in the autumn hunting activities, and take advantage of the chaos caused by the beast tide to get a few more students to go back." ”
The so-called goods in these mouths are the students of the outer courtyard, and the recent disappearance of the female students of the Dahua Xiuxian Academy is also from these people.
Due to the continuous disappearance of the students, it has aroused the vigilance of the Inner Elders' Association, and Qian Huaiyi, who is also in charge of investigating the case, directly reported the case to Dahua's Night Failure Organization.
As a result, now whether it is Liu Xiong or Ren Nanbei, or even the forces behind them, they can no longer continue to commit crimes.
However, in this stall where the wind is tightening, the big boss instead asks them to commit crimes against the wind.
So he came up with a way to use the beast tide to cause chaos, and then take the opportunity to kidnap the students of the outer court.
Looking at Ren Nanbei's iron-green face, Liu Xiong said faintly: "Once the beast tide breaks out, in such a chaotic situation, even if a few students are missing, it is estimated that no one will think about us, right?" ”
"Absolutely not!" At that moment, Ren Nanbei suddenly came to his senses, and directly flicked his sleeves and sternly refused.
As if he felt that he was a little out of shape, Ren Nanbei explained in a slightly softened tone: "This method has made too much noise!" ”
"The beast tide is by no means controllable by humans, and once it is triggered, no one knows what serious consequences will happen later."
The so-called beast tide is to use a certain method to intensify the bloodiness in the body of the spirit beast, so that the spirit beast becomes bloodthirsty and violent, and will continue to gather closer to a certain area.
The place where the ordinary beast tide passes, just like a tsunami passing, is likely to be extremely badly damaged, and this kind of power is simply not something that human beings can stop and control.
Once the fuse of the beast tide is ignited, no one can predict the power of this bomb explosion.
It seems that Liu Xiong has already guessed the reason for Ren Nanbei's refusal, so he responded directly without thinking: "You can rest assured of this." ”
"The beast tide will only be triggered in the five rings."
"The spirit beasts of the five rings are basically less than a hundred years old, and they are quite easy to control."
"Moreover, there are only student activities in the outer courtyard in the fifth ring, and if a few students from the outer courtyard die, it is estimated that the group of old guys in the presbyterian church will not be distressed."
Although Liu Xiong's reasons are indeed quite sufficient, Ren Nanbei still shook his head resolutely and vetoed: "No, still no!" ”
Ren Nanbei's voice trembled: "The risk here is too great!" ”
For Ren Nanbei, the purpose of his previous cooperation with Liu Xiong and the big bosses behind him was just to rely on them to make some 'small money'.
Ask him to help provide some information about the students of the outer courtyard, and he can still do it.
After all, the life and death of these students in the outer courtyard are actually not directly related to him.
And now, Liu Xiong came to him directly with a set of plans, if he really agreed, assuming that this matter happened in the future, then he would also have joint responsibility.
At that time, it will not be a question of whether to make money or not, it will directly take your own life.
At this moment, Ren Nanbei already felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and even began to regret why he sold students' materials to Liu Xiong and others in the first place, and chose to cooperate with them.
Seeing that Ren Nanbei's attitude was so resolute, Liu Xiong not only did not have a trace of anger, but the corners of his mouth raised a helpless wry smile.
He apologized to Ren Nanbei: "I'm sorry, you and I can't decide this matter." ”
"And today, I'm not the one to make the decision."
A touch of confusion appeared on Ren Nanbei's face: "You came all the way to Mumeng Mountain, and you can't make a decision on this matter?" ”
While speaking, Ren Nanbei was surprised to find that under the reflection of the dim light, the shadow behind Liu Xiong actually moved by itself.
I saw that the shadow was slightly distorted and deformed, as if it had turned into a pool of black water, and then under the shock of Ren Nanbei's eyes, a human figure slowly crawled out of the shadow.
The figure was so large that it almost had its head on a two-meter-high tent when it stood upright.
Bathed in an eerie black, it seemed like a real shadow.
The face is faceless, there is no joy or sorrow, as if there is no trace of emotion, and vaguely only one outline of this human form can be seen clearly.
The black figure stood silently, and its faceless facial features faced Ren Nanbei directly, as if looking at him.
It wasn't until a long time later that the black figure slowly spoke in a low, buzzing voice, "Now, it's up to me to make the decision here." ”
Ren Nanbei doesn't need to think about it to know that the person standing in front of him now is most likely the main messenger behind this whole thing, the big boss in Liu Xiong's mouth.
Although the big boss didn't have a trace of emotion in his cold tone when he spoke, and he didn't even bring the slightest threat, just standing in front of Ren Nanbei like this produced an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.
That strong sense of oppression made Ren Nanbei stand up unconsciously, leaning his back, and didn't even dare to say a word.
The big boss continued to say in that emotionless voice: "Start by working with you. ”
"You know what we're for, right?"
Because the other party's tone was extremely flat, Ren Nanbei was even stunned for a moment before he suddenly reacted, the other party was asking himself a question, not a statement.
Ren Nanbei hurriedly nodded.
The other party continued to ask, "You should also know the risks of this matter, right?" ”
Ren Nanbei was silent for a moment, but still nodded slightly.
"Very good," the other party asked again, "Since we started working together, we have given you a corresponding reward for every mission, right?" ”
At this time, Ren Nanbei's face had become quite bad, and cold sweat had unconsciously slipped from his sideburns.
After thinking for a long time, Ren Nanbei nodded again at the other party with difficulty.
"In that case, what reason do you have to reject my plan now?"
Obviously, the big boss has already completely crushed Ren Nanbei in momentum, this is not a kind of coercion by force, but just standing in front of Ren Nanbei, as if forming a kind of crushing of the superior to the inferior.
Ren Nanbei secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face full of struggle.
Obviously, as an old fritter of the academy, he knows very well what the consequences will be if he agrees to the other party's request.
Once this matter is revealed, in addition to being ruined, the last prison for a lifetime may be a gift from God, and there is a high probability that he will disappear directly and completely from this world.
However, even if this mission can be successfully completed, he will always be bound to the same boat as this big boss and Liu Xiong.
can only become a puppet who only looks at the other party's horse.
Ren Nanbei looked at the big boss again and again with evasive eyes.
"Do you want to say no?" The big boss asked Ren Nanbei, his tone was still so flat, still so emotionless.
However, in the face of this sentence, which seemed to have no threat, Ren Nanbei felt a chill to the bone.
At that moment, almost out of the instinct of survival, Ren Nanbei nodded to the other party without even hesitation and said, "As long as ...... As long as the big boss tells you. ”
"I'll do as I'm asked."
The big boss nodded slightly: "Very good." ”
Speaking of this, Ren Nanbei added with a difficult face: "But...... I would like to make one request. ”
"You say."
Ren Nanbei paused, glanced in the direction of Zhang Chongli's hut, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "I hope that the location of the beast tide outbreak can be chosen by me." ”
