184 Think clearly, do you want to call me father (5000 characters~)(1/2)
John also didn't expect that what he heard from Brada's mouth was exactly the same as what Duwei said.
According to this method, half an hour is not enough to find the elders.
This was far from the answer he wanted.
What's more, seeing the look of surprise on Brada's face, John naturally understood that it was a lie that he could find the elder by following the brightest star in the constellation Canis Minor.
No wonder Du Wei said he would not provide him with any help until he found the elder.
It seemed that Du Wei had already guessed this.
What matters when you want to find the elder is not whether you are following the brightest star in the constellation Canis Minor, but the following sentence, when you are about to die, the elder will choose not to see you!
In other words, John was actually under the elder's sight when he stepped into Casablanca!
The current elder just doesn't want to see him.
Realizing this, John stood up from the ground, looked directly into Brada's eyes and said:
"The elder is watching here, isn't he?"
Hearing this, Brada confirmed what he was thinking.
John already had information about the elders, so he didn’t come to him now to ask questions sincerely!
He clearly wanted to force out the elder's true position from his own mouth!
After accidentally thinking of what John was about to do, Brada calmed down.
No matter how John learned of the lie he had improvised, at least John wanted him alive if he wanted to get the news.
So what does he have to worry about when his life is safe?
So Brada, whose expression returned to calmness, first used her feet to stamp out the flames that spread to her feet.
Then he picked up the fallen cigar from the ground, shook off the dust on it, put it back into his mouth and bit it, and finally said calmly:
"The elder knows everything, the elder is omnipotent, so what do you think?"
John took a step forward, put his hands on the table, looked down at Brada and said quickly:
"I need to see the elder, immediately!"
Brada looked at the eager John in front of him and smiled. He slowly blew out a smoke ring and threw it on John's face. Looking at the other person's slightly frowning brows, he smiled and said:
"I told you the method. As for whether the elder sees you or not, that's not something I can decide."
John grabbed Brada by the collar, lifted her up and shouted:
"Your method is bullshit! Even if I pursue the brightest star in Canis Minor, I can't find the elder. I will just die in the desert!"
Brada, who was lifted up by John with one hand, first signaled to the left and right to put down the gun and don't be nervous, then turned to look at John and said:
"You violated the rules of the high table. You deserved to die, but now it's just the difference between dying early and dying later.
At least I gave you hope, didn't I?"
John took a deep breath and looked directly into Brada's eyes and said:
"If I am destined to die, then I will have nothing to worry about.
I think you understand what I will do when I lose my last shackles.
They didn't have time to stop me."
Listening to John's unabashed threat to life and the naked murderous intent in his eyes, Brada was shocked to realize that she seemed to be irritating the night devil in front of her too much.
John, known as the Night Stalker, is not a piece of plasticine that can be manipulated as he pleases.
The previous tolerance was obviously John's bottom line.
Now that John had been declared dead by him, there was nothing that could threaten him anymore. I wonder what else John cared about more than death.
After realizing her mistake, Brada immediately spoke nervously:
"John, I'm afraid you made a mistake, I didn't lie!
What I said is true when I say I can't influence the elder's decision about whom to meet.
It is also true when I tell you to follow the brightest star in the constellation Canis Minor.
Because only if you are in a near-death situation in the desert, the elders will consider meeting you.
After all, you are a top killer, and no one dares to take it lightly in front of you.
Especially now that the order to hunt you down was issued by the High Table, and the elders represent the privileged class of the High Table.
Therefore, if you still retain such strong fighting power, the elders will not risk seeing you.
If you want to see the elders, you have only one way, enter a weak state!
The best way to enter a weak state is to walk in the desert and become dehydrated to the point of death!
Only when there is no threat can you have the slightest possibility of meeting the elders.
Therefore, if you want to live, you should not kill me. Killing a minter is equivalent to killing a core member of the High Table.
If you kill me, it will only make the elder feel that rules are nothing in your mind.
Then his hope of seeing you will be even slimmer!"
John doesn't want to believe Brada's lies. Now he just wants to give this old guy Brada some pain. Only by letting him know the pain can this old guy tell the truth!
Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the headset.
Although the words seemed a bit intermittent and inflected due to the long-distance signal, he still recognized that the person speaking was Du Wei.
"John...blinked...twice when he heard the words."
After hearing this, John couldn't help but glance at the camera on the ceiling.
It seems that the all-powerful AI has invaded Casablanca, so Duwei was able to confirm the signal connection through the secret code.
After seeing John blink twice, Duwei on the other side of the Atlantic continued to speak:
"He didn't... tell lies. Remember, our... is the elder, not him..."
Due to signal problems, many of Du Wei's words were lost.
But John still understood what Duwei meant.
Their real enemy was the elder, not Brada in front of them. Since Brada did not tell lies, there was no need for him to tangle with him.
With Du Wei on the outside guiding him, John slowly released his fingers from holding Brada's collar and helped her smooth the collar before saying:
"You are right, since I want to return to the High Table, I must abide by the rules of the High Table.
But I really need to see the elder as soon as possible, since the elder is afraid that I will do some irrational things.
So to show your sincerity, I hope you will prepare a sauna room for me, and I will take the initiative to dehydrate."
Brada, who sat back in the chair again, looked at John, who suddenly became interested, and his eyes twitched slightly.
The terms John proposed were not unattractive.
Even though he is a gold coin minter, he never thinks that the money is too much. After all, strictly speaking, gold coins are high-end tables, and he is just a wage earner.
John was carrying a bounty of 70 million, but he was very jealous.
He had no intention of letting John go. Although many people would definitely die, he could recruit more people. If John ran away, he would be gone.
But now John's proactive offer has saved him a lot of men.
Since John is really willing to tie his own hands, then what reason does he have for not satisfying John?
When John dies, he earns a bounty of 70 million.
John was summoned by the elders, and John owed him a favor.
No matter what, Brada will not lose.
"Okay! I promise you, then please!"
Seeing that John was really preparing to follow Brada to the sauna, Sophia on the side took John's arm and shook her head slightly.
"You're going to die."
But John was determined. He just took out the blood contract that Sophia owed him and pierced his fingertips with the sharp spikes on it.
Then he pressed the bleeding finger on the other half of the empty space.
Then he handed the completed blood contract to Sophia.
"I have no choice but to bear the consequences."
Sophia stared straight into John's black and white eyes for a while and finally let go.
Let John follow Brada towards the abyss of death.
…
On the other side of the Atlantic, in New York City, in a secret base in an abandoned subway, the three of them lost John's image again.
Obviously, the sauna room Brada prepared for John was not an ordinary place.
At least machines currently don't have the ability to break into it.
Genmei glanced at the machine and the probability of John's death was still the same 60% as before.
This proves that if Duwei does not help, the probability of John's death is quite high.
But it was clear from Du Wei's appearance that he didn't want any help.
