Chapter 128: Rumors
Lu Xi thinks that he must be a very soft-hearted person. Otherwise, when other people reach 500,000 words, it is estimated that they will already be ruthless and murderous, and there is no one in the life lawsuit in their hands who are embarrassed to greet people. And he is still a hard-pressed little civil servant, and he hasn't even had time to overthrow a girl yet.
Moreover, even if he is a hard-working petty civil servant, he must not be suitable for the job of a secret police with a soft heart. Don't you see that even if I captured the captives, I didn't use heavy torture? The most he could do was get some garlic and feed him...... Alas, when this task is completed, it is better to find a way to resign.
Lu Xi was sitting on the side of the street, staring at the bright moon in the night sky in a daze, when Lieutenant Ai Ming walked over.
"Adult ......"
"How? Recruited? ”
"All recruited." Lieutenant Emin smiled self-deprecatingly, "I thought it would be a protracted battle to get something out of the vampire's mouth." I didn't expect it to be so simple, it's ......"
"That's because you didn't find the right way." Lu Xi said indifferently with a very high and unfathomable look: "No matter how strong a person or creature is, there is an unbearable tipping point, maybe it is spiritual, maybe it is experience. Relatively speaking, physical pain is the easiest to bear. Therefore, torture is actually the most outdated torture technique, and it is also the most unskilled one. As a tech nerd, it's natural to choose a more elegant approach. For example, holding a lamp in the eyes of a mortal to prevent him from sleeping, and asking the same question over and over again. For example, the prisoner was locked up in a small dark room, where he could neither sit nor sleep or even stand up straight, so that he would be honest for a few days. Another example is blindfolding the prisoner, and opening a small wound on his arm so that he can listen to the sound of his own blood dripping in the copper basin...... You see, which one is not more tasteful than a big punishment? ”
"The lower official has been taught." Lieutenant Emin nodded in admiration.
Uh, it seems that some very discordant knowledge has been spread? It's certainly not my fault, it's definitely some's fault......
"So, what did he say?"
"These vampires are retainers of the Haokong family and belong to the executive force directly under the Presbyterian Church. This time, they were also directly appointed by the Presbyterian Church to come to Blackman City as the vanguard to meet Obert Cass, and after obtaining the federal state secrets in Cass's hands, they would immediately destroy them. ”
"Oh yes!" Lu Xi couldn't help but whistle, "Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" It's really like the old zombies! The Haokoons, I think they are the closest of the three True Ancestor families to the Council of the Dead, right? ”
"The Haokons are basically Kazan's retainers." Lieutenant Emin smiled, and then added, "Besides, these vampires are the vanguard. It is said that the Council of the Dead also sent a force to hide outside the city, led by a lich and a vampire marquis of Haokong's direct line. ”
"Look at this pomp and circumstance, as for it? What kind of state secrets does Aubert Cass have in his hands? I'm getting more and more curious. ”
"It's not just for the sake of Aubert Cass." Ai Ming pondered for a moment and said, "You should have heard the rumors some time ago, right?" ”
"Of course, Captain Grimmar spoke in detail when I first arrived." Lu Xi nodded: "And because of this rumor, a small black comic city seems to have attracted the attention of the whole world." Why, even those old zombies want to get a piece of the pie. ”
"The Lich is an extremely greedy bunch, that's ...... My lord, shouldn't you magicians have more say than your subordinates? ”…,
"Please, don't talk like that, as if I know them well."
Strictly speaking, what was popular in Black Man City during this time was not rumors, not information, and not clues, but a piece of gossip that was not even a rumor.
It is said that a few months ago, somewhere in the Black Forest seemed to erupt with a palpitating wave of energy. This fluctuation was fleeting, and even some nearby powers could only feel the breath at most, but it was difficult to judge the direction in less than a second.
Of course, the Dark Forest is the remnants of the ancient elven kingdom in the past, and there are many secret treasures buried, and it is not surprising that there are one or two energy fluctuations once or twice. While the fleeting flow of energy was indeed terrifying, it didn't interest too many people.
The key problem is that after this incident, all kinds of gossip and gossip began to circulate in the city. Some say that the ancient elf royal city appeared in the earthquake, some say that all the ancient dragons in the dragon graveyard have been resurrected, some say that the gem lake has appeared, some say that angels have descended in the jungle, some say that several monsters fought in the forest, leaving behind priceless corpses all over the ground, and so on.
After all, man is a creature that can be easily provoked, and the fact that some adventurers suddenly return from the dark jungle with full debts further deepens the truth of the rumors. As a result, rumors that are difficult to distinguish between true and false brewed in the city, and thus evolved into a feast for adventurers.
I don't know what happened in the dark forest, but it must be a good thing, right?
This is probably the reason why various forces gather in Black Man City.
In the eyes of Lu Xi from another world, this inexplicable incident is full of all kinds of flickers and hype, exuding the smell of conspiracy from head to toe, and those who will be fooled must be stupid. It's a pity that the vast majority of adventurers in this world, as well as various other forces, lack due resistance to the hype, and they are thus confused by Lu Xi's map cannon.
Lu Xi pursed his lips and said, "No matter what happens in the Black Forest, it's none of our business. We don't have to worry about the Lich and the Marquis of the Bloods outside the city for the time being, as long as we can capture or kill Aubert Cass, the mission will be considered a success. When the time comes, everyone may be able to get a promotion and a raise. What did the captives say? How are they going to contact Aubert Cass? ”
Lieutenant Emin thought about it for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Yes, he is no longer an adventurer, but a dignified federal soldier, and the military prioritizes the completion of the mission. In addition, even if he is still an adventurer, even if something good really happens in the dark forest, he has long been divided up by some big forces or strong adventurer teams, where is his turn to be an ordinary person?
"Ubert Cass's teacher, Wilder Cass, whom we took some time ago, has been in contact with the Lich of Henas for a year ago. Of course, at that time, he didn't sell too top secrets, probably just trying to find a way back for himself. ”
"Well, to be honest, I really want to see such a strange corrupt official. What's wrong with finding a way back for yourself, you have to choose a lich? Is it so fun to be a brother with a bunch of bones? ”
At that time, Wilder and the spirits of the undead of Henas agreed that if they heard the news of their arrest, they would send someone to Blackman City to meet with their son Aubert or their agent. As for the code used, it is indicated by the weather in Black Man City today. The lieutenant said: "If it is sunny today, draw a circle on the clock tower in the center of the city, if it is rainy, it is a triangle, if it is cloudy, it is square, and if it snows, it is trapezoidal......"
Ai Ming said this, and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly: "Wild Cass didn't explain this information. Tsk, what a cunning guy, even if he was arrested, he actually left us a hand. If it weren't for the information that came out of the captives today, the reckless operation would have failed. ”…,
"Cunning is a racial talent of politicians, otherwise there is no way to cheat taxpayers out of their hard-earned money? Don't you see that in order to deal with a corrupt official at the county level, the Celestial Empire often spends more than 20 episodes of TV series? ”
Lieutenant Emin felt that the young officer was good at everything, but it was not good to say things that no one could understand.
"Whoever comes first will draw a circle on the bell tower?"
"Yes." Lieutenant Emin nodded.
"So, where is the meeting place after seeing the code?"
"It's the Kraken Bar in the North End of the city...... Well, it's not a very friendly place. Emin sighed, a heavy expression on his face.
Sounds like a great bar? Isn't it a legendary black shop? Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, there are no strange graphics on the bell tower, indicating that the target has not yet entered the city. Perhaps by this time, our comrades have already taken him down at the city gate. ”
Emin smiled bitterly, and was about to say something more when he was interrupted by the sound of wings fluttering. He looked up and saw a small brown harrier eagle flapping its wings and slowly descending, and then landed intimately on Lu Xi's shoulder.
Lieutenant Emin knew that the harrier eagle named "Rafite" by Liszt was not an ordinary bird, but a magical beast summoned by the boy from the other world. Its flight speed is almost comparable to that of the dragons, its intelligence is extremely high, and it can also understand human language, not so much Liszt's contract monster, but also his servant.
The ability of a magician is really gorgeous...... The more he came into contact with these "pillars" of the Federation, the more Lieutenant Emin felt that he was too silky.
"Lord Lu Xi. Master Liszt and Captain Grimmar were not worried about the situation here, so they assigned me to take a look......" Harrier Eagle spat out a very pleasant mature female voice, and turned her flexible neck, and soon saw the dying vampire in the alley.
"Looks like they're too worried."
"When I do something, I naturally have to put one hundred and twenty hearts." Lu Xi smiled and said, "How is the situation on their side?" ”
"There are no anomalies at this time. But ......" Raffi thought for a moment and added: "When I came, when I went to the central square, I found something unusual. ”
"You can't see a circle on the bell tower, do you?" Lu Xi replied half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"It turns out that Lord Lu Xi already knows? When I was above the bell tower, I did see a circular symbol painted with red paint, and I was almost certain that it didn't exist before today. ”
Black Wing Dark is big, I'm sorry, I didn't find out after a week that you voted for me, 5555555.
Also, I really want to play Blue Track, but when I think about it, I've only played half of the Ys 7 that I bought last year.
