Chapter 218: The Price of Loyalty
Yan Fuxue didn't expect that the person who plotted against him was Mu Yuqing.
Of course, it is not that this person is innocent and reliable, on the contrary, when Han Guming informed Yueyang that there might be something wrong with Yueyang's Ning Yuan Diagram, Yan Fuxue branded all the Yueyang people who came to Rongcheng now as hostile.
Mu Yuqing must have something wrong.
But Yan Fuxue really couldn't imagine that it would be such a problem...... Suppressing the Yuan Infant Jin Dan in one step, what kind of cultivation is this?! It's incredible!
And such an unbelievable master actually blended into the envoy group of the Immortal League openly, and in front of many Immortal Alliance Yuanying masters, he easily played the role of a not very popular Chilou walking.
Yan Fuxue didn't think that the eyes of Han Guming, Huang Long, and even Wang Luo and others were blind, but with so many pairs of sharp eyes, they couldn't see through Mu Yuqing's disguise!
Surprised, Yan Fuxue only felt as if his body had been manipulated, floating out of thin air on the ground, and then slowly sat down and sat on a chair that he didn't know when.
In front of him, there was also a round table at some point, and there were several plates of steaming food on the table...... Yan Fuxue blinked subconsciously, only to realize that he was not on a high platform at all.
It is a small, beautifully decorated room, and the poignant sunset outside can be faintly seen through the window lattice, but the exact location is not visible.
In the blink of an eye, he was taken to a completely unknown place by means of fighting and changing the stars!
After that, Mu Yuqing walked out from behind him, as if he was a shadow on the ground and turned into a person. The woman smiled lightly, exuding a friendly aura all over her body, but it was not friendly to others, but a higher creature watching a pet.
"Professor Yan, let's get straight to the point, we value your ability very much, and we want to invite you to join us, drink the wine in front of you, eat a few chopsticks dishes, and you are your own person."
Yan Fuxue was thinking frantically about countermeasures in his heart, and at the same time, he greeted me: "Value me? Then I'm really flattered, as for these drinks and food, what is the doorway? ”
Mu Yuqing said: "Looking for ordinary wine and food made in the surrounding restaurants, there is no way, if you have a sharp tongue, most of you can judge the restaurant that cooks, and deduce the approximate location of this room by the way." So, if you have a sharp mind, you should know that you don't have a choice. It's because I value your ability that I gave you an extra option out of thin air. ”
Yan Fuxue groaned and said, "Hmm, but if I disappear inexplicably, you ......."
Mu Yuqing smiled: "It's okay, let's talk about the desolate demons, we don't mind being called by you." You want to say that if you disappear for no reason, the one at the Doge's Mansion will realize that his guess is correct, and then lock on to us desolate demons, and then gather all their forces to wipe us out within the realm of civilization? ”
After laughing, Mu Yuqing picked up a glass of wine on the table, took a sip, and sighed: "These things that satisfy your appetite will be difficult to enjoy when you go to the wasteland, so I suggest that you don't waste this opportunity." As for Governor Han, he won't be suspicious of me, because the information he got tonight would be that everything was going on as usual in the Yueyang Ning Yuan Diagram, and the previous strange feeling was just his delusion. ”
Yan Fuxue's mind sank more and more, but he still tried his best to make a joke: "It's not easy to fake the report of the reporter, those encryption techniques are ......"
"From Jianmu, of course I know. So the report will not be forged by us, but written by hand by your trusted ex-hearer. Professor Yan, if there is anything you want to ask, you can ask directly, there is no need to beat around the bush, I will say what I can say, I am still ready to be open and honest when I invite you here today. ”
Yan Fuxue only felt incredible: "...... You're going to be open and honest with me!? ”
Mu Yuqing said: "Anyway, after you join, I will also train you as a newcomer, and it makes no difference if you say it early or late." ”
"Since you are so familiar with the human world, you should know that I will not be able to join you."
"Yes, you have relatives who died in the wasteland, and the hatred for us desolate demons is as deep as the sea, but this kind of thing has actually been experienced by everyone, my grandfather died in the Yueyang Desert Tide a hundred years ago, and my father was also seriously injured during the wasteland exploration, otherwise I would not have been able to enter the Red Tower. The review of the life history over there is very strict, and the general level of miserable family history cannot be passed. ”
Yan Fuxue asked: "So you took the sacrifices of your ancestors as the capital of rebellion and sold yourself for a good price!?" ”
"You are mistaken, before the famine, my resistance was even fiercer than yours. Heh, the person in charge of inducing me also recorded all the scenes at that time, do you want to see it? ”
As Mu Yuqing spoke, the thumb and index finger of his right hand drew a square, and a square picture was projected on the back wall, and a sound came out of it.
"Kill me......"
It was a dry, withered moan, like a dying trapped beast. On the screen, a woman covered in bruises is being nailed to a stone wall by dozens of rough, rusty iron nails that pierce her limbs, chest and abdomen. And at the end of each iron nail, a blood-colored silk thread was connected, which endlessly extracted the woman's vitality and turned into a porcelain vase not far away, so that she no longer even had the strength to commit suicide.
Yan Fuxue's heart sank, because he recognized that the person in the picture was Mu Yuqing.
And in front of the woman, there was a dark trembling shadow, and a contemptuous laugh.
"Save it, I finally found a high-quality prey, how could I possibly kill you. However, it is indeed rare to have a hard bone like you who struggles to die and refuses to surrender, or even refuse to cry out in pain. ”
Mu Yuqing tried to spit a mouthful of blood, but could only spit at the foot of the shadow.
“…… It's really a scrappy little guy, it's all come to this point, I'm afraid you're still thinking about how to turn the tables, at least you have to report my information to your superiors, to arouse vigilance, I don't know how many countermeasures you have considered for so long, but with your fighting spirit and intelligence, you should have thought of all the ways you can think of. ”
After a pause, Shadow suddenly smiled.
"Then, it's time for me to reap the rewards. You know, the transformation ritual never requires the inner submission of the target person, and when you fall into my hands, the end is doomed. The only problem is that after being transformed by the ritual, most of the memories before the transformation will be lost...... Unless that person uses his brain wildly before the ritual and surfaces all his memories and knowledge on the surface of the sea of knowledge. ”
Mu Yuqing was shocked when she heard this, but she was finally a step too late.
Every iron nail on the stone wall bloomed with a blood-colored shimmer, and Mu Yuqing's body was like a broken doll, twisting and trembling wildly...... A moment later, the light went out, and the nails were pulled out of the woman's body by the red thread.
Without the support of iron nails, Mu Yuqing fell softly from the wall, but when she landed, she suddenly stood firm with her legs, and then let out a long sigh.
Every wound on her body healed at an alarming rate, and the expression that she had previously looked like a martyr for justice turned into self-mockery.
"I see, I'm smart."
The shadow smiled, "But thanks to your own cleverness, your starting point is far higher than I was back then." ”
"yes, thanks."
When the last two words were spoken, Mu Yuqing in the picture and the woman at the table had exactly the same expression!
