There are two more graves on the desolate land of Los Angeles.
That belongs to Jing Twelve and Lu De.
Although these two people had tried to harm him, Shen Yi still allowed them to have a destination, even if this destination seemed so far away.
They used smoke instead of incense and placed it in front of their graves.
Kyle Reese stood not far away, and he could not understand the behavior of these adventurers - they fought side by side and killed each other, and then died tragically.
At the same time, he couldn't understand why Marcus, a good-looking person, suddenly turned into a machine.
Shen Yi put his hands in his trousers pockets, his windbreaker rustling in the strong wind, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if waiting for something.
King Kong stood beside Shen Yi, looked at the two graves, and muttered in a low voice: "What a pity."
It is indeed a pity.
Two adventurers died, and Zhou Yiyu and the monk left, which greatly reduced the strength of the adventurer team. In the following fourth round of pursuit, if nothing unexpected happens, they will have no choice but to flee.
"Do you know what I think?" Hong Lang said suddenly: "Maybe they didn't really die. Maybe they just returned to the previous world, had their memory and abilities wiped out, and then continued to live like ordinary people. Maybe Death is not real death, but just a kind of relief."
Wen Wenwen glanced at Hong Lang in surprise: "When did you become so philosophical?"
Hong Lang shrugged: "It's just a kind of self-comfort for people who are afraid of failure and death. If one day, I am going to die, then at least I can use this reason to comfort myself before dying, telling myself that there is no need to be afraid, this is just It was a game, and now the game is over and I can finally go home."
Shen Yi Youyou said: "Are you hinting to me that if one day I leave the bloody city and return to the earth, I will find that I am just a rotting corpse under a pile of loess?"
Everyone laughed.
The laughter diluted the gloom, making everyone feel better due to the loss of strength and the leakage of information.
After laughing, Shen Yi looked at everyone: "Has anyone figured out why I want Zhou Yiyu to leave?"
King Kong shook his head: "I still can't figure it out. I only know that the competition between us and the Bloody Team is like a card game. Once one party's cards are seen by the other party, they will become passive. Even if we are in the future There are new trump cards, but they cannot replace the ones that have been exposed... The more good cards, the better, right?"
Shen Yi laughed: "If two people are playing against each other, of course they have to cover the cards in their hands as tightly as possible. It is best not to let the other party see any of them, and to try desperately to see the other party's cards. This In this case, if one party exposes most of its cards, it will indeed be a big problem. Unfortunately, this is not a duel between two people, but a duel between multiple people. The biggest mistake you make is to mistakenly believe that no one else has betrayed us. Your strength will not be exposed, but you have forgotten one thing."
"What?"
Shen Yi sighed: "I remember telling you that Xie Rongjun also has reconnaissance skills."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
That's right.
In the bloody city, when Shen Yi went to inform Xie Rongjun about the death of his brother, he used mental detection on Xie Rongjun, but Xie Rongjun called out his city number. This fully shows that Xie Rongjun also has the ability to detect. Skill, you can see some details of the other party.
The problem is out.
Since Xie Rongjun had detective skills, why did he go to such great lengths to obtain information about Shen Yi and the others at all costs?
You must know that Shen Yi did this because his mental detection skills were blocked by the Blood-Slaying Team, making it impossible to detect other people. Team 641 does not have the ability to seal the opponent's detection skills, so the Blood-Slaying Team does not need to pay such a high price. price.
But he still did it, and his actions were more generous than Shen Yi's, and his momentum was much greater.
Looking at everyone's astonished faces, Shen Yi pondered for a moment before saying: "Actually, there is no news in the world that is airtight. Even without Xie Rongjun's detection skills, in the first two missions, we were all the same as others. The adventurers have cooperated before, and as long as Xie Rongjun is willing, he will always find some information. Therefore, Xie Rongjun's purpose, or the biggest purpose, is not to collect information."
"What's that for?" King Kong asked hurriedly.
There was a hint of helplessness in Shen Yi's eyes: "What else could it be for? Look at what just happened, don't you understand? That's exactly what Xie Rongjun wants... He is actually making enemies everywhere for us!"
Xie Rongjun's reward order appears to be just a way to obtain information about Team 641, but secretly he has another murderous intention.
That is, he is using this method to turn all adventurers in the slums into Shen Yi's enemies.
I believe that any adventurer, after receiving the reward order, will not mind betraying the news about Shen Yi. If Shen Yi and the others want to keep the secret of their own strength, they must go on a killing spree, such as Jing Twelve and others .
This actually has a huge impact on Shen Yi, after all, what he is best at is taking advantage of others.
In previous missions, he has used various means more than once to make other adventurers his allies, his tools, even his cannon fodder, his cash machine... Shen Yi is good at borrowing force and will never do it easily. Make enemies in the bloody city.
However, Xie Rongjun's actions made Shen Yi's specialty disappear, making him become a thorn in the bloody urban environment.
This is just like two parties playing cards, and one party openly declares that whoever tells me what cards the other party has in his hand, I will give him a sum of money. So a bunch of guys watching the game join in the fun, desperately trying to peek at your cards. If If you get angry, curse, or even fight, you will find yourself in a situation where you are besieged on all sides.
At that time, you will not only face opponents in the poker game, but also a large group of people outside the poker game.
The latter is even more terrifying - Jing Twelve is dead, Lu De is dead, the monk has escaped, and Team 641 has another enemy. If Jing Twelve and Lu De still have friends in this world, then maybe there are more than one.
If this situation is allowed to continue, Squad 641 will soon be surrounded by enemies everywhere.
However, Shen Yi and his team's opponent is the Blood-Slaying Team in the ordinary area. In terms of strength and financial resources, they are only stronger than Team 641.
If other adventurers were asked to choose a side, 80% of them would choose the Bloody Team instead of the 641 Team.
It can be said that Xie Rongjun's approach made full use of his fame and strength, and put the 641 team into a desperate situation at the beginning of the war.
Therefore, Xie Rongjun's real intention in issuing the reward order was not to know the details of Squad 641, but to deliberately use it as bait to create trouble for Squad 641 and make enemies.
For example, now, due to the death of Jing Twelve and others, it has suddenly become more difficult for them to complete their mission. This is exactly the result of Xie Rongjun secretly adding fuel to the fire.
Under this situation, Shen Yi realized that if he wanted to finish the game of cards with the Bloody Team, he must first deal with the bystanders who kept peeking at the cards behind them.
Even if you can't let them be used by you, at least let them return to a neutral position.
How to stop bystanders from disrupting the situation?
The best way is to make the cards public.
At this moment, Shen Yi slowly turned around and faced everyone and said:
"Honestly, if I had known earlier that Jing Twelve and the others were planning to kill me because of Xie Rongjun, and that Xie Rongjun used a reward order, I would never have chosen to kill Jing Twelve and the others. Of course, information determines the outcome. The key to success is to rely on allies, but allies are even more important. The right way to defeat the minority is to use more to defeat the few. Fighting alone, one against a hundred... Not to mention that there is no hope of winning, even if I can win, I will feel like a failure. ."
"As for Zhou Yiyu, I don't know if he will betray us, but that's not important anymore. We might as well regard this as a test for him. If he doesn't betray us, maybe we will have another comrade in the future. Even if he He betrayed us, and considering the person he is, he will feel somewhat guilty..."
"This battle has just begun. Our opponent... is much more cunning than we imagined."
Shen Yi's answer made everyone suddenly realize.
They had to admit that Shen Yi was far more comprehensive than they thought.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Shen Yi let Zhou Yiyu go. For him, it was meaningless whether to kill Zhou Yiyu or not. On the contrary, if Zhou Yiyu did not betray them, then he would have another person he could trust. friend. Emotionally speaking, this is also the most acceptable choice for him.
As for the monk... the hatred that has been forged cannot be turned back, so he can only face it calmly.
King Kong asked: "Why don't they just offer a higher reward for our heads? Wouldn't that be simpler and more convenient?"
"Because they don't want to use other people's hands to kill us at all. It's just a pretense. For Xie Rongjun, all he needs is to use this incident to provoke other adventurers' hostility towards us and stimulate our resistance, thus Intensifying conflicts between us and others. For adventurers, killing five adventurers for fifteen thousand points is obviously not as cost-effective as spying on five adventurers in exchange for ten thousand points, and this It also meets Xie Rongjun's needs. If he really wants to use money to buy our lives, then the price he offers must be at least doubled. Even for adventurers in the ordinary area, 30,000 blood points is too much. It’s not a small number. There’s no need for the Sanguine Team to pay such a high price. With this money, they might as well strengthen themselves and kill us themselves.”
Wen Wen also asked: "Then what will we do in the future?"
Shen Yi chuckled: "Everything has its pros and cons. There is no chess game that only has advantages and no disadvantages. Since Xie Rongjun doesn't need any information about us at all, but he deliberately lets it slip, don't blame me for being rude. We can make a fortune from him. After our brothers complete this mission, we will entrust Ali to go to his place. Let him sell our information and make a net profit. Wouldn't it be great? ?Rather than letting others earn this reward and causing us to make enemies everywhere, why not earn it ourselves! He is sending money to our door."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Shen Yi's trick is indeed very sinister. Since you want to make me enemies everywhere by offering a bounty, I will simply sell my information myself and make a lot of profit. I believe that with the reputation of the Blood Stinging Team, they will never default on the debt easily. Regardless of him Whether you buy it or not, if you want to maintain this bounty order, you must pay a high price of blood points.
If he doesn't want to continue unnecessary expenses, he must cancel the reward order. Once the reward order disappears, Shen Yi will naturally not have to worry about making enemies.
However, King Kong still frowned and said: "No matter what, exposing our details like this will always have a great impact on our strength. Is there any way to eliminate this impact?"
King Kong's worries are not unreasonable.
Although Xie Rongjun has detection skills, he can only use them against people after all, and he may not know everything. In other words, selling too much of his own intelligence will still be very detrimental to him.
Shen Yi smiled slightly: "Of course. There are two ways to eliminate unfavorable factors. One: Look at the opponent's trump card. Isn't it great that everyone knows each other's ins and outs? We have asked Ali to do this, and we will do our best. Just listen to fate. As for the second point... let yourself have new trump cards as much as possible that will not be leaked."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi's voice became cold and deep, as cold as winter, and everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Wen Wen asked instinctively: "How can I get a new trump card?"
"Of course it's to complete a difficult mission." Shen Yi replied quickly.
Difficult task? Everyone look at each other.
King Kong asked tentatively: "Are you talking about destroying the Terminator in the fourth round of pursuit?"
"No!" Shen Yi flatly denied: "The difficulty is not high!"
His eyes moved around his companions, and then he smiled and said, "Are you interested in going to the Skynet headquarters with me?"
