Chapter 64 Self-directed and self-acted
"Wasting your uncle... If you don't want to hurt you, can it be fucking pain? Do you want to kill me?" Deshui grinned and shouted at Jiang Xiao: "What do you mean, Jiang Xiao!"
"There is nothing else. I just think... acting is a hard job. It would be a pity if you just pass it so easily. The drama is bigger than the sky, you probably haven't heard this sentence?" Jiang Xiao blinked at Deshui with a smile, and he ignored the threat of Paul from the chain saw before. Parsons might break Deshui's neck at any time.
Deshui was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"I understand what you think." Jiang Xiao stood up, leaned on the back of the chair, and lit a cigarette for himself as if no one was around: "You need to determine whether we deserve to be companions, but if you are just in the hotel, there is no way to test it. So, you played with such a fake kidnapping."
"It's a pity that I don't plan to act according to your script. Because... that's a bit too cliché." Jiang Xiao shrugged and spit out a smoke ring: "The hero entered the enemy camp, fought bloody battles, and rescued his companions. Perhaps in this process, he suffered another serious injury. In the final ending... Maybe there will be a companion being held on his neck by a knife, threatening me to give up resistance, right?"
"Is it uncomfortable to be pressed like this? Sit up." Jiang Xiao looked at Deshui, who was still pressed by Parsons on the table. But the latter had no reaction at all.
Jiang Xiao didn't care about him and continued to talk to himself: "Actually, I had hesitated whether to cooperate with you. But after thinking about it... I decided to give up. After all... your approach made me unhappy. To be honest, it was too treacherous and too petty."
"You...how did you find it?" Deshui let out a long breath and waved his hand. Parsons let go of the hand pressing against his neck, took two steps back, let Deshui straighten up, sit on the booth, and look at Jiang Xiao face to face.
"Well... let me think about it." Jiang Xiao smiled and pondered for a moment: "First, this thing doesn't look like the style that the academy will do."
"What do you mean?" Deshui asked.
"First of all, they have never done such kidnapping and blackmail. The people from the academy... have had a few deals with us. There were head-on battles and secret assassinations. It is obviously inappropriate to use the word "righteous", but at least... they are all very direct." Jiang Xiao bounced the ash: "And this time's action... called us to blackmail us. How can I think... the style is wrong."
"But you don't know much about the academy, why do you dare to conclude that they will not change their way of doing things?" Deshui said unconvincedly.
"I dare not make up. But there is another one besides that." Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "When your man called, he specifically emphasized that Xinyun was not allowed to come. Obviously, this is because the priests have a strong spiritual pressure on the awakened people of other ranks, unless they accept the annotation from another priest. So this means that there is no annotator waiting for us here tonight. But in this way... the problem comes. In these days, new assassins who have received the annotation from the dean should have been born. Even if it has not yet, it will only take one or two days. The college has no need to alert the snake at this time. Therefore, the conclusion is very obvious--what those waiting for us here tonight are probably not sent by the college."
Deshui sighed: "Is there a third point?"
"Yes." Jiang Xiao nodded and talked: "That's... When Tianyu and I arrived here, we found that everything... was too dramatic. This was just a feeling, but it was difficult to describe it in detail. But the entire bar, the two door gods at the door, and this one..."
He pretended to be over and raised his eyebrows at the chainsaw Paul: "This beautiful girl, and the way you were taken downstairs, the wife is like the scenes in those bad American B-rated movies. So... it's hard for me to believe that all this was not planned according to a script."
"Since that's the case... why do you want to say all this and slap me in the face?" Deshui smiled bitterly: "You... want me to help you do things, right? You are not afraid that you will be exposed by you, and will be angry, so you refuse to help you, or..."
He suddenly smiled fiercely, revealing his white teeth: "Just kill you and Zhao Tianyu here to save some face?"
"Since I have done this, there are naturally reasons why I am not afraid." Jiang Xiao laughed: "Because I know that since you are going to do it, it's just a test. Test whether we... can meet the standards in your mind. Right?"
"That's right." Deshui nodded: "Dinah is my good friend. Before he woke up, he attended a performance school and worked as a stage actor for a while. So... I asked her to help me with a little favor and act in a play to see how you will deal with it. By the way, Dinah is her real name, and Chain Saw Paul is just a nickname."
"A good name. A good performance." Jiang Xiao smiled sideways at the beauty who was erect behind her, and picked up the wine glass and toasted her. Dinah also smiled slightly, and she responded with a mouthful of wine glass. At this time, her face was not the fierceness and fierceness she had before, nor the initial charm, but dignity and nobleness.
"Then... keep going." Jiang Xiao turned around and said, "What does your standards include? I think there are only two things - our character and our strength. You have to be sure whether we will ensure your safety when the academy assassin arrives, rather than throwing you away as an abandoned child. You also have to be sure whether we have the ability to fight against the academy."
"Yes." Deshui nodded.
"First of all, Tianyu and I came, without shrinking or escaping. This is enough to illustrate some problems. But... the script next is really too vulgar. Moreover, I'm not sure whether Tianyu and I can defeat the opponents arranged by you and your friends here without hurting themselves, and also ensure that they won't hurt their lives. After all,...their skills must be not weak. For example... this friend." Jiang Xiao raised his head at Parsons: "More importantly, I don't think that doing this... is a way to truly reflect his own strength."
"What is that?" Deshui frowned.
"Rationality, logic, thinking, and judgment." Jiang Xiao shrugged: "Because of the existence of Xinyun, the future sent by the Academy may only be a small number of assassins who have received the ink marks, and the number of people will not exceed us. In this way, their candidates can be almost certain that they will be opponents with strange talent. Faced with such opponents, simple power is no longer important. What is important is how to judge the source of the attack, think about the opponent's ability, how to crack, and... how to fight back."
"What can bring these is not how strong the strength or how fast the speed is, nor how strange the abilities of our group are, but what I have said before, rationality, logic, thinking, and judgment." Jiang Xiao spread his hands casually: "I think my analysis just now is enough to prove that I have these qualities."
Deshui lowered his head and began to ponder.
"Wine!!" After a while, he raised his head and shouted to the bartender: "Get my bottle of wine! The bottle I had last time here!"
Jiang Xiao turned his head curiously and saw the bartender bringing up a bottle from under the bar... Niulanshan Erguotou!
"Sit here!" The bartender walked around the bar and slapped the wine on the table. Deshui suddenly became excited and patted the table in front of him with a bold look: "Sit across from me."
Jiang Xiao sat on the other side of the booth and sat opposite Deshui. He watched Deshui snatch the empty Mojito cup in his hand, poured the bottle of Niulanshan full glass, handed it back to him, and then held the bottle and the glass and touched it hard: "Don't do it!"
"Damn!" Jiang Xiao glared at the glass that was almost filled with wine in front of him.
This is a 60-degree Erguotou! Pure!
This Mojito's glass is very big. A pound of Niulanshan poured a small half before it was almost filled.
But Jiang Xiao just hesitated for a moment, then picked up the glass of wine, raised his neck and drank it all. Deshui in front of him laughed loudly, and also raised the bottle of wine at hand, and drank the remaining half of the bottle of wine.
"Beautiful!" He smashed the empty bottle heavily on the table, wiping the water into his mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so fucking beautiful!"
He switched back to Chinese, and it was the pure Jing movie when he first met. In addition to Dinah being able to understand something, Parsons next to him could only stare at her big eyes.
"Thank you." Jiang Xiao pinched his nose and forced himself to suppress the alcohol in his stomach and did not rush up.
He does like to drink, but it does not mean that he likes to drink high-intensity pure wine like this.
But... he still needs the help of getting water.
"I've lived so big... This is the first time I've seen such a smart person as smart as you." Deshui leaned back and stared at Jiang Xiao: "I originally thought that my plan was already exquisite and beautiful enough. But I didn't expect that you could see through it at first glance."
Jiang Xiao smiled and said nothing.
"Have courage and knowledge, courage and strategy, talent!" Deshui slapped the table heavily, and looked like the alcoholic smell was a little over the past: "Going to the banquet alone is the so-called courage and courage. Being able to see the truth is the so-called insight and strategy. More importantly, I was clearly exposed and slapped in the face-"
He laughed loudly when he said this: "But he didn't feel embarrassed at all! You said, are you very admirable?"
Jiang Xiao was not humble this time, but just smiled: "I always felt that I was a man worthy of admiration."
"Okay! I just like guys like you!" Deshui thrashed the table in front: "I will sell you this hundred pounds!"
