"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash. So many people took action, but they couldn't catch three mice. Now I regret that I specially called you here for this operation!"
Angry roars resounded out, and the area around the room had been cleared in advance, so no one could see or hear the hysterical voice Captain Lin made at this time.
Captain Lin's voice fell, and the room suddenly fell into silence. Ren Huo and Yu Xiao, who were standing opposite him, were silent. Yu Xiao secretly looked at Ren Huo, then at Captain Lin, and finally slowly
He lowered his head.
Of course he didn't want to stay here with Ren Huo and be scolded for such a stupid thing, but he didn't dare to leave, especially when Captain Lin got angry.
Ren Huo's face was very ugly, his face was turning red and white. He wanted to say something, but when he looked up and saw Captain Lin's angry eyes, he swallowed the words he spoke.
"You know how critical this is for us now. Even the slightest leak of our situation will directly lead to the failure of the entire operation. If something goes wrong, you should know what the result will be, and you should also know what the outcome will be.
It’s a result I can’t even bear.”
Captain Lin spoke again, his voice lowered a bit, and the anger in it seemed to be reduced a bit, but both Ren Huo and Yu Xiao felt the slightest chill from it.
The previous scolding only made Ren Huo feel ashamed, but now he was frightened and hurriedly said, "Captain Lin, please don't worry, the three people were found on the corridor between the gambling house and the brothel. After that, they
He fled directly to the back garden, never having the chance to enter the building to investigate.
I specifically asked about gambling houses and brothels before, and some people vaguely remembered that they were wandering around in gambling houses before, but they were not able to enter the third floor of gambling houses, so there is no need to worry about our affairs being leaked."
Captain Lin looked at Ren Huo with cold eyes, frowning slightly, then seemed to remember something, sighed heavily and said: "Forget it, the secrets on the third floor of the gambling house will be easily leaked. If those three
The mouse really went to the third floor without opening its eyes, and it must have been dead for a long time now."
As if he said something casually to himself, Captain Lin suddenly asked again: "Who is the other party? Can you confirm his general identity and background?"
After a slight hesitation, Ren Huo replied: "If I guessed correctly, those three guys are probably the group with the surname Shu."
Hearing that they were from the Shu surname, the corners of Captain Lin's eyes twitched violently, and he said unconsciously: "How could it be them? If they come at this time, could it be..."
Turning to look at Yu Xiao, Captain Lin asked: "Is there any movement over there with those two girls? If it's those guys named Shu, they should be here for those two girls. They are my biggest trump cards."
, there must be no mistakes.”
Nodding, Yu Xiao said with great certainty: "Although there are no people arranged by me around those two girls, they can never have contact with the outside world. The guards have been replaced by my close associates, so there will be no problem.
of.
But if you put it in your hand like this and can't completely take it off, it will still cause a lot of trouble. Captain, would you like to...?"
Shaking his head, Captain Lin immediately denied it and said: "This trump card can be used in two ways. If we use strong measures now, it will mean that we have abolished one of the uses. Only by doing this now can we be able to advance or retreat.
, there is help at the side when entering, and there is a convenient door when retreating."
Nodding, Yu Xiao didn't seem to understand, but he seemed to have a rough idea of Captain Lin's thoughts, and remained silent without saying anything.
Turning to look at Ren Huo, Captain Lin continued to ask: "How sure are you of the identity of those guys that they are of the Shu surname?"
"Almost 60%." Ren Huo returned softly after thinking about it for a moment.
"only these?"
Nodding, Ren Huo replied: "Among those three people, the fighting styles and methods of two of them seem to be somewhat close to those of the Shu family, and that's where my conclusion comes from.
But there is one person among them who, judging from his tactics and fighting methods, does not look like he is from the Shu family. If the Shu family had not been exposed in a battle with the ghost painter, I would be 70% sure that he is the Shu family, but
Now it’s only 60%.”
"Sixty percent... isn't high!" Captain Lin muttered silently, falling into deep thought. The room became extremely quiet again, and both Ren Huo and Yu Xiao were cautious and did not dare to say anything.
After a while, Captain Lin suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "It seems that our plan is going to speed up. Today's three mice are just a signal to remind us that the night is long and the dreams are many. Now that we have a new plan, let's make other preparations.
The speed needs to be increased.
Starting today, you two tell all your subordinates that they are not allowed to rest except for eating and sleeping. And from now on, including you two, you cannot leave Zuixiang Building without my consent, otherwise... you will be punished with defection.
.”
Hearing the word "defection", Ren Huo and Yu Xiao couldn't help but tremble. No matter in any family, "defection" is definitely the heaviest punishment.
Captain Lin didn't need to say anything more. Ren Huo and Yu Xiao already understood that the current situation was in crisis. A single mistake could not only result in a failure of action, but the worst possible outcome would be a boat capsize and everyone in the city be buried.
"Captain Lin, we only started preparations today. There are many things that are not perfect. And because everything needs to be done by ourselves, we can give the three mice an opportunity to take advantage of it."
After waving his hand, Captain Lin said with some dissatisfaction: "Sleeping and other things can be waived. Starting today, I will meditate and rest. When there are not enough people, there will be no rotation. Is there any problem?"
Seeing Captain Lin's aggressive gaze, Ren Huo did not dare to say anything and nodded to express his understanding. Yu Xiao responded obediently: "Captain, please don't worry, I will arrange the manpower to handle the matter."
"Well, go ahead!"
He waved for the two of them to leave, and when Captain Lin was the only one left in the room, a look of exhaustion and confusion gradually appeared in his eyes, which was in sharp contrast to the cold and perseverance before.
"Hey, I don't know whether this choice is right or wrong. But when things have reached this point, I don't have any room for choice. Now I can only make a desperate decision. I hope my choice is not wrong and everything will go well.
"
In the long sigh, Captain Lin's soliloquy fully demonstrated his helplessness at this time, as well as his worries and worries about the future.
…
When the lights were turned on at night, Su's house became lively again, which was slightly different from when everyone came here in the early morning.
At that time, the three families of King Su and Guo worked together to plunder the ghost painter's mansion, and finally burned it to the ground. Judging from the momentum, both the King Su's family and the Guo family of the City Lord's Mansion had reached their peak state.
.
But the next development of things was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Maybe Su Jian had a bad premonition, but in his heart he still felt that although it would be difficult to find out the ghost painter, there was still hope that it could be achieved.
.
Now that the experts from various families who have been busy all day have withdrawn from the outside, there are still people on the streets of Kuocheng who continue to secretly search. However, the results are not satisfactory, especially during the day, so many people spread out their hands to search everywhere, but still to no avail. At this moment
Hope has become even slimmer.
"Snapped"
A heavy slap sounded, breaking the silence in the room, and Wang Xiao's somewhat anxious voice sounded.
"Damn it, Kuo City is almost in our hands now, but why are the ghost painters and their gang missing? Could it be that they can still go up to the sky and into the earth? With the existence of the city defense formation, they can neither fly into the sky"
And leave, let alone escape from the ground, how can it disappear out of thin air?"
As if he remembered something, Wang Xiao suddenly turned his head to look at Guo Xiao and asked: "In addition to the passage through the city gate, your city lord's palace only has a teleportation array to enter and exit this vast city. Is it possible?
…”
Guo Xiao's face changed slightly and he turned to look to his side, but the two old men from Kang and Zhao hurriedly said: "The only thing Commander Wang knows is that when Kuocheng was first built, there was indeed a teleportation array in the city lord's palace. But that formation
It's broken and has never been repaired, let alone used, in countless years."
When Wang Xiao asked, Su Jian looked calm and calm, and said calmly: "Mr. Kang, you know why the formation was damaged and why it cannot be repaired even now.
?”
Guo Xiao obviously didn't know about the formation, because he didn't grow up in the City Lord's Mansion, and he didn't know about some things in the City Lord's Mansion. At this moment, he looked at the old man named Kang with the same curiosity.
Manager Na Kang said with a wry smile: "The reason why the City Lord's Mansion has a teleportation array is well known to the older generation. The reason is that it existed before the City Lord's Mansion, and even before Kuo City. The people who built the City Lord's Mansion originally
At that time, the city lord at that time hoped that the formation could be repaired and become a resource in the hands of the city lord, so he deliberately built the mansion at the location of the formation.
But what happened later was counterproductive. The array masters we invited could not repair the teleportation array no matter how hard they tried, and in the end they could only sit there idle."
The old man surnamed Zhao continued: "If this vast city really has such a teleportation array, it will be no less prosperous than Guanmen City. And when the old king Xuan Hong was in power, this array can be used, and it is absolutely
It’s a huge amount of income, so how come no one has used it for so many years?”
He nodded. When the old man named Kang explained before, Wang Xiao already knew that what he was thinking was wrong. Now after listening to what Kang and Zhao said, he was even more sure that he had got the situation wrong.
While everyone was automatically filtering this message, Ikari, who had been listening quietly in the corner of the room, suddenly changed her expression, and a strange color flashed in her eyes.
