Chapter 80: Getting to the Bottom of the Matter

This sentence sounds a bit clueless. Carambola was stunned: "...... Huh?"

Dumfrey still looked at her with a smile: "But don't worry. I will definitely give you an explanation of what happened before I leave - I promised Li Qingyan that I would ensure your safety while I was still in office. ”

Star fruit didn't know how to answer his words, so she had to say "um" and smile.

At this time, the two walked to the back door of the first floor, and outside was the courtyard between the second building. It was still cloudy, and now that the sky had darkened, I could see a red glow in the distance—but it was not a normal sunset, but it was lit by the firelight of the moor.

After one more glance, Dunfrey stopped: "Let's go out and have a look?"

"Ah...... Or don't. "Aren't we only in one building?"

"It's a building, and the guards can only move around here. We're on transfer, and we don't have those restrictions. Let's go. Dumfrey pushed the door open, "Have you heard of the super giant machine here? I used this thing to simulate the flow of spiritual power in the monk's body before, and I heard that a lot of results have been achieved." It is said that I plan to use it to simulate ancestral spirits and desolate spirits in the future, and it is also somewhat related to my research. Let's get close to the water, let's take a look first. ”

When he said this, he pushed the door open, and made a very gentlemanly gesture of please.

Star fruit hesitated for a moment and said resolutely, "No." ”

She noticed that Dumfrey, though he had "gently" pushed the door open, had a lock on the outside of the door falling to the ground, followed by a chain falling with a clatter. This meant that the back door had been temporarily locked from the outside, and Dunfrey had somehow forced it open.

Dumfrey was not angry at her refusal, but still smiled: "Ordinary girls will probably be obedient and walk out with me in this situation, but you don't." You know, we've only been together for a few days, but I can already see that you have a very unique personality that is not common among you natives. ”

Carambola took a deep breath and took a step back: "Teacher Deng, if it's okay, I'll go back first." ”

"Good. Dumfrey said, "Go back if you want." ”

Star fruit immediately turned around and left. But at this time, I found that I was missing behind me.

This means that the ground, buildings, and even the whole world behind you are gone, and it looks like you've stepped out of the boundaries of a map in an online game - there is only a deep darkness in front of you. The darkness was like a wall, and it was like another unknown space that suddenly appeared in front of us.

Her face changed, she was stunned for a while, and then turned around again: "Teacher Deng, what are you doing here?"

"Come on. Let's talk as we go. Dumfrey walked out the door, "I cast a little spell on you. It's not the world around you that has changed, it's your perception that has changed. But don't take it too seriously—if you really go into the darkness behind you, your mind and body will tell you that you really went into the void. ”

"Then I feel cold and painful. It's your own, but it's enough to make your heart stop beating and your mind go crazy. Dumfrey turned his head to look at her, "But I promised Li Qingyan to ensure your safety." And I want to find out what secrets you have in you, so you can't do anything right now. ”

Carambola felt a chill on her body. It's not because the sky is getting darker and the temperature is lowering at this time, but because she realizes that there is something wrong with her "Teacher Deng". Either they came to kill her, or they were with those people.

But she knew — as well as she did when she sat in that classic car and sat next to Li Qingyan more than ten days ago — that she didn't have the ability to resist him now. She's a spiritless...... Not even a lower seventh. In front of the practitioner's magic, he is like a lamb to be slaughtered, and he has no right to speak.

How she hated this feeling, this inequality!

So she could only gasp twice as quickly as she could, trying to calm herself. Then he gritted his teeth and took a step: "...... Are you the one who is going to kill me?"

"Before. Dumfrey said casually, "There are a lot of people who want to kill you, and I'm one of them." Later, when I met Li Qingyan, the plan changed. Actually, star fruit, I want to figure out why I want to kill you more than I want to kill you. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the star fruit: "You don't seem to be very afraid." ”

Carambola followed him, half a step behind. Hearing this, he said coldly: "What can I do if I'm afraid." I used to be afraid, but on the way Li Qingyan took me to the city, I saw him kill many demons in the wasteland, so I was not so afraid. ”

Dumfrey smiled, "Do you want to remind me that he's protecting you? Li Qingyan is a powerful person, but there will be many more powerful characters here soon. I'm not his opponent, and he won't be anyone's opponent. ”

When he said this, he sighed: "Seeing your current performance makes me more and more sure that you are not an ordinary person. Ordinary little girls don't have the same mind and psychological quality as you. In the few days I've been bringing you back from him to the seminary, I've been trying to find out what is unusual about you. But I haven't found anything so far - star fruit, since I'm telling you the truth now, can you also tell me the truth and tell me, what secrets do you have?"

It was the first time that star fruit had heard someone talk about her life and death in a casual and nonchalant tone. But it wasn't as scary as she imagined - the past ten days of life had given her enough psychological construction to make her know that she was in danger at any time. Now that the enemy had really appeared around her, she somehow felt a little relieved.

At least there is no need to be on the lookout for possible "accidents" all the time.

In fact, she felt a sense of powerlessness in her body right now—probably similar to the feeling of a lamb in the face of a tiger. Knowing that there is no power to resist, he wants to give up resistance and sit down on the ground under the domination of fear. But her nature made it impossible for her to do such a thing, so she took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and said, "I think Mr. Deng should at least tell me who told you to kill me first, and then I can think about why." ”

Dumfrey thought for a moment, "This, well, this can be discussed." It's also very interesting to say. ”

"Here's the thing – the government of America is working on a plan. If successful, this plan is said to reverse the demon clan's disadvantage in cultivation. In order to do so, they need to know the inside story of the Helsinki explosion. In order to know the inside story of the big explosion, I need to do some work in Kitayama. ”

"They won't say what kind of work they are doing here—it's certainly not as simple as killing Peberu anyway. And he said, In order that this thing may be successful, I must kill you. ”

"The fact that a girl like you, who doesn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary, could have a significant impact on this big plan is bizarre enough in itself. But what's even more bizarre is that the order to 'kill star fruit' is also vague. You know, the order doesn't state your name, but it says to get rid of 'the woman who showed up near the main gate of the May Fourth Farm on the outskirts of Beishan City at about three o'clock in the afternoon on October 1, 2018' — you showed up there at that time, just in time for Li Qingyan to get into his car. ”

Star fruit was stunned. She hadn't expected it to be like this—Dumfrey was clearly not lying to her at the moment.

At this time, the two walked to the main entrance of Building No. 2, and Carambola noticed that the guard at the door was gone—when I looked upstairs on Building No. 2 more than an hour ago, there were four guards on duty in front of the door.

"But in fact, the command itself doesn't say to kill you. The word is not 'kill', but 'dispose'. The former is to kill, and the latter has a very ambiguous meaning - to deal with, to dispose of. But our business is generally understood to be to kill, to remove. Dumfrey stopped at the main entrance, and the star fruit had to stand.

Hearing him continue, "The Promotion Association, the World Tree, and the Kraken are all involved in this matter, and they have all received this instruction from different channels. If the instructions had been clearer, you would have been dead long ago. But it's because the instructions are ambiguous, and there are other more important things that need to be arranged, that you've survived until now. ”

"You think, the woman in the instructions has been identified—an ordinary girl from a farm, not even a cultivator. was brought into Beishan City by Li Qingyan again, and Li Qingyan himself was also difficult. So who would be willing to risk scaring you and killing you? Besides, there are a lot of more dangerous situations to deal with. ”

"So it's been delayed until now, to me. I'm different from the people in the Promotion Association and Kraken. They cooperated with America to get something else. Or for wealth, or for power, or for ideas. But on our side of the World Tree, we are pursuing what America is also pursuing—the secret of origin. ”

"So, I wanted to figure out why. My instinct tells me that in the midst of a large number of clear and unambiguous instructions, such an ambiguous ...... It must mean that this thing is the most important thing. It's a pity that I haven't found the information I'm looking for for so many days. In another twenty minutes, our action will begin. Dunfrey sighed lightly, "At that time, I will no longer be a teacher in the advanced class, and you are not my student, so I will not keep my promise to Li Qingyan." ”

"In order to ensure that the plan is carried out without errors, I have to take your life at the last minute. So, star fruit, your life is in your hands - tell me your secret and ask me to weigh it. Maybe I don't have to kill you, but just restrict your movements?"

Carambola was silent for three seconds: "I don't know. ”

Dunfrey stared at her, "You know, if that's the answer you gave me, then I'm going to kill you." This method is too simple and crude to be my first choice. Otherwise I wouldn't have wasted so many days. ”

Star fruit wiped her eyes: "I really don't know." ”

At this moment she wanted to cry. Not because of fear, but because of another emotion that she couldn't speak of herself—someone else wanted to kill her, but the person who killed her didn't know why. Now I'm asking her, but even she doesn't know why. However, she had no choice at all, she had no ability to resist, she could only wait to accept the result.

It's too aggrieved and humiliating. She felt like she had some kind of mission just now...... But what exactly is that mission?
