Chapter 684: The first meeting after the Seven Deadly Sins
The upside-down candle burned quietly under the ceiling.
It casts a dark shadow that is twisted and deformed, like a dancing skeleton.
The withered bonsai sprouted a few green shoots.
But I don’t know if it corresponds to the late winter and early spring seasons in the outside world.
The black cat sits in the center of the oval conference table.
He drooped his ears, coiled his tail, squinted his eyes, and stared at the greenest sprout in the bonsai. He listened to the stiff and flat voices of conversation coming from the alchemist speaker in his ears, and he was wandering.
This is the secret meeting room of the Seven Deadly Sins.
It is also the first plenary meeting after the Seven Deadly Sins.
Compared with the last meeting, the biggest feature of this meeting is that all members of the Seven Deadly Sins have turned into animals - Lucifer, the only demon who did not transform during the last meeting, has also turned into a monster about the size of a foot this time.
The bloody bat has a golden trumpet-shaped sound generator hanging around its neck, and its small black eyes look increasingly dull and indifferent.
When he first saw the animals in this room, the black cat couldn't help but think that the seven deadly sins, which sounded very unreliable, had every reason to be changed to 'Transfiguration Study Group' or 'Transfiguration Seminar' which would be safer.
It's a name. It's just that it's a bit out of character, and the devils may not agree with it.
After an unknown amount of time, when the black cat became drowsy and almost forgot where he was, the discussion in the conference room finally quieted down.
It raised its eyelids and glanced at the serious-looking little animals.
"Has the result of the discussion been reached?" Black Cat stretched out its paws, arched its buttocks, yawned and asked, "Do you accept this order or not?"
Tears forced from yawning accumulated in the corners of its eyes, making the cat's vision blurry.
At the beginning of tonight's meeting, the black cat threw out a list about a mysterious client offering a large bounty for Zheng Qing's flesh, blood, hair, or movement tracks.
As expected, it immediately aroused violent reactions from all the devils.
Those who agreed, some cared about the generous commission, and some cared about the reputation of the Seven Deadly Sins.
For example, the red fox Mammon next to the conference table, as the spokesperson of greed, asking him to give up this business worth hundreds of jade coins is almost equivalent to killing him; another example is the new blood bat that appeared tonight, as the arrogant Lucifer
, made it very clear that since the Seven Deadly Sins have taken the order, they cannot give up out of fear, otherwise it will severely damage the prestige of the Seven Deadly Sins in the underground market.
I have to say that compared to the black cat, this blood bat seems to be a more qualified 'culprit'.
The reasons for the devils who did not agree to continue this task were also very good.
Some people believe that Zheng Qing is not an ordinary student now, but has become a teaching assistant employed by First University. He collected the biological information or movement tracks of First University staff on Phuket Island without authorization. This is really an old man who has eaten arsenic and lived.
got impatient.
Some people also emphasized the relationship between Zheng Qing and a certain senator of the Yuexia Council, reminding everyone that this mission may be related to the internal struggle among the upper echelons of the Yuexia Council. The Seven Deadly Sins are just a small secret society hidden in the First University.
, should not and cannot afford the consequences of getting into such a big trouble.
Others made it very clear that it would be difficult to capture Zheng Qing's movements. This kind of task cannot be completed by a small organization like Seven Deadly Sins.
"Someone did this specifically for Halloween last year."
Another cat in the conference room, the jealous lady codenamed Leviathan, lazily shared a piece of news that was only circulated in a small circle: "After his relationship with Congressman Su was exposed, more than one wave of people wanted to
Give him some color and see - of course, to this day, we still doubt whether he and Councilor Su are as close as he described..."
Hearing this, Black Cat actually had the urge to refute, because he had never publicized how close he was to Su Shijun. Such rumors were purely the result of the public's imagination.
But considering the environment, it suppressed this impulse and just squinted its eyes to listen carefully to the news revealed by the Persian cat.
"...After his relationship with Congressman Su was exposed, Congressman Su's fanatical suitors began to investigate the young public-funded student in all aspects. But except for the well-known information and half-truths and half-false rumors, no one could get more information.
What reliable and secret contents - such as Zheng Qing's birthday, family background and address, such as his talisman learning and relationships outside the school, and the nature of his other special attack methods besides talisman.
You should have heard that Zheng Qing severely injured Seprano, our current Mr. Augustus, one night last year, right? At that time, the school also held a temporary hearing for this. But
Until now, apart from knowing that he severely injured Soprano with a rune spear, we have not been able to find out anything more specific.
The key information related to him seems to have been deliberately erased, and it cannot be deduced through a fortune teller - we have hired more than one great fortune teller to do this - nothing can be calculated.
So in the end, I was able to use his name to give him nightmares for a few days. It is said that someone on the boy's side knocked his sap one night, but no one admitted it, so naturally I don't know whether it is true or not...
…”
"I can confirm it's true."
The black-and-white wolfdog in the conference room had a gloomy tone and a harsh voice: "I just put a sack on him and beat him up, and there was nothing more. The wandering wizard had a small role in it, so that night, the wandering bar was beaten."
Councilor Su smashed it..."
When Black Cat heard the previous words, he was actually a little angry.
It's not that he wanted to cause trouble for Leviathan and Samael on the spot, but he never expected that there was a big fortune teller involved behind last year's incident!
At this moment, he was very grateful to Dr. Xiao Da for giving him the advice to accept this mission. Otherwise, he would never have heard these secret messages related to him.
With such a terrifying shadow hanging over the head, it would appear so gentle when someone knocks on someone or having nightmares at night, that the black cat would not even be able to get angry.
"Those talisman bullets," the red fox behind the conference table, Mr. Greedy, codenamed Mamen, stroked his beard, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "I mean the talisman bullets that Zheng Qing injured Seprano... very
has a problem."
"Do I need you to emphasize?"
The Persian cat glanced at the red fox and replied angrily: "Everyone knows that there is something wrong with those talisman bullets. It seems that he wrapped them himself... Of course, of course, I also know that this is impossible. This is just a
For example. But you should know that such powerful rune bombs have always been products controlled by the alliance. According to the investigation conclusions we used outside the school, all high-power rune bombs registered in the alliance have very clear ownership and use records.
There is a possibility that it will flow to a certain current student.
Any idea what this means?
It means that Zheng Qing has a 'smuggling route' that none of us know about, and he can reach a deal with the master who makes high-level rune bombs and obtain the alliance's contraband - information like this, as long as you get it, you can make hundreds of dollars.
A jade coin is just a sprinkling of water - so, does anyone still think this is easy?"
The conference room was silent for a long time.
Until a certain little pig with white skin and black flowers tremblingly raised its hoof.
"Since we can't trace his movement through magic means, how about following him directly?" Beelzebub pouted, flashing his big ears: "After all, he is still a student of First University, and his scope of activities is nothing more than
Wouldn't it be enough to find someone inside or outside the school to arrange his class schedule and the location of his study room?"
