Since the battle in Netherworld Valley, Shen Yi has not heard from the Swift Wind Team. He only heard that the Swift Wind Team was disbanded not long after that, and most of them went to the apartment area before the Broken Blade Team.
I originally thought that there would never be any intersection between them, and even if they did, it would probably be a murderous relationship. I didn't expect that Chen Tao would come to look for him today.
"Why did you think of coming to see me?" Shen Yi asked Chen Tao to sit down.
Chen Tao was not polite. He sat down on the sofa and said, "I'm passing by your downstairs and I want to come up and ask for a cup of tea. Are you welcome?"
Shen Yi laughed: "Of course you are welcome. As long as you are not here to settle old debts, my door will always be open."
"You have a lot of old debts, do you still need me to settle them?"
Shen Yi took a deep look at Chen Tao, pondering the meaning of his words, and finally turned around to make a cup of Yuqian Longjing for Chen Tao and a cup of coffee for himself.
Chen Tao was not polite, holding the Longjing tea and tasting it carefully. The atmosphere fell into embarrassment and silence for a while.
After a while, Chen Tao sighed and said: "Shen Yi, I admire your calmness, and you can still be so calm. Do you know how many people want to cause trouble for you now?"
"I didn't know at first, but now I kind of understand." Shen Yi smiled and said, "By the way, how are you doing lately?"
He didn't ask why Chen Tao came. From Chen Tao's two words, he had already guessed his purpose. What really puzzled him was why Chen Tao did this?
Taking a long breath, Chen Tao said: "After the death of Boss Ban, the Gale Team lost its backbone and was completely dispersed overnight...Haisu is gone, Bai Ya is gone, and Hu Bai and I are left alone, unable to support each other. We can only break up the team and join another team."
"How are you doing?" Shen Yi asked.
Chen Tao nodded and shook his head: "Then it depends on how you look at the problem. To say that the captain treats us well. But when it comes to comparing with the majestic and majestic attitude before, it is obviously much worse."
He thought for a while and added: "I am a person with no ambitions. If I can complete the tasks every month and live my life in a down-to-earth manner, I will be satisfied. As for calling the wind and rain, and having everything respond to my call, I have never thought about such a thing. So there’s nothing to complain about if you lose it. But you know, there are always people who don’t like this, there are always people who miss the past, and there are always people who can’t forget the death of the boss... and they will hate you even more."
"I can understand." Shen Yi raised his glass to Chen Tao: "Even if you hate me, I won't care."
Chen Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I may be the only one who doesn't hate you, or I don't hate you that thoroughly. I once advised the boss not to fall out with you, but he just didn't listen. In his eyes, you can overthrow The bleeding is entirely due to Xie Rongjun's stupidity and incompetence, but he is not qualified to overthrow him... He didn't notice that when he thought so, he himself underestimated you."
He raised his head and looked at Shen Yi: "Everyone who looks down on you will surely die miserably."
"Attention and praise from the enemy? This doesn't sound like a good thing."
"From the moment I sit here, I have decided not to be your enemy."
"Then the Evil Emperor will definitely be very disappointed."
Chen Tao's body trembled obviously, and he smiled bitterly: "You guessed it...he didn't know I was coming."
Shen Yi took a long breath: "Thank you."
You really should say thank you!
Regarding the Evil Emperor's plan to deal with him, he only realized it after Chen Tao came over.
It doesn't mean that he wasn't prepared.
Calculating that three months have passed since he first obtained the Eye of Hades, the Evil Emperor should have obtained the Soul of Hades by this time, so it would be normal to discover the secret of the Eye of Hades.
It is conceivable that when the Evil Emperor found out that what Shen Yi gave him was actually a scrapped Eye of Pluto, he would be so angry that he would lose his temper, and it would be natural for him to take revenge on Shen Yi.
The problem is that the Evil Emperor didn't come to find him before, which is a bit incredible.
It's like if you suddenly find out that your friend cheated you out of a thousand yuan, your first reaction is to find an argument with him. For most people, it's normal to come to them to argue with him, but Evil Emperor Didn't do that at all.
When he discovered that there was something wrong with the Eye of Pluto, he did not go to Shen Yi immediately, but quickly started to lay out a killing plan against Shen Yi.
From this point of view, we can see the biggest difference between the city and the earth - the binding force of truth is getting smaller and smaller, and the mentality of the weak and the strong has become the mainstream.
It can also be seen that the evil emperor is ruthless. The biggest advantage of him doing this is that he can hide his attacks invisible. After all, as long as he doesn't come to the door, Shen Yi will never know whether he has discovered the truth. Three Just because Yue can get three pieces from Pluto doesn't mean he will definitely find the problem. Maybe he didn't find it?
For this reason, Shen Yi sighed: "Actually, I have been waiting for the Evil Emperor to come and cause trouble for me, and for me, that is undoubtedly the signal before the next attack. Unexpectedly..."
Chen Tao shook his head: "The Evil Emperor said that since you dared to lie to him in the first place, you will not be afraid of his threats now. It is useless for him to look for you. He might as well take advantage of you and wait for an opportunity to strike."
"He really thinks highly of me, and even uses sneak attacks to deal with people like me."
"If he was dealing with others, he might not do this. But Shen Yi, you still don't know how famous you are among the big guys now, right? I heard that you are the only adventurer who has received the gifts of the gods in the second difficulty. ”
"Huh?" Shen Yi was stunned.
In the fourth difficulty, only Zhou Hao of the Yunhai team knew that he had received the gift from the gods. How come the Evil Emperor and the others also knew about it?
Seemingly seeing the doubts in Shen Yi's heart, Chen Tao said: "Someone saw your name on the merit monument in the temple and found that you are in the second level."
"Monument of Merit?"
"It's a stone tablet dedicated to recording the contributions of adventurers in the Temple of Gods and Demons. It's like a ranking list. I heard it only appeared recently... The city is constantly changing, and its functions are becoming more and more numerous."
"Damn it!" Shen Yi cursed. He didn't like this function. No wonder the Evil Emperor valued him so much. He even tolerated being tricked by him and refused to come to him. His feelings were betrayed by this merit monument. After all, he is not a level four person, and he doesn’t know much about the latest situation there.
Speaking of which, the appearance of the Merit Monument is also to satisfy everyone's vanity. Whenever someone sees that their merits are among the best, they naturally feel a great sense of pride. To a certain extent, the Merit Monument also tells everyone about each other's strength. , tell everyone who can be provoked and who should not be provoked, so as to avoid some meaningless internal friction.
However, for Shen Yi, the Monument of Merit completely betrayed his details, letting many people know in advance that there was an adventurer who had obtained the Glory of Gods and Demons on the second difficulty level, and it also made everyone look at him with suspicion.
Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that the revenge from the Evil Emperor appears to be much more stoic and insidious.
But no one expected that Chen Tao would suddenly appear to warn Shen Yi at this time.
Shen Yi asked: "Why do you want to help me?"
Chen Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that I want to help you, but that I want to protect myself. Due to the difference in the area, the Evil Emperor himself cannot take action against you and can only find people everywhere. If he can take action, no matter how powerful you are, he can't. You are his opponent. But he did not take action... To be honest, I am really not optimistic about this operation. I know who you are, and dealing with you cannot be solved by a sneak attack."
"It seems that being famous is not all bad." Shen Yi finally understood.
If the Monument of Merit made the Evil Emperor understand him better and became wary of him, then Chen Tao actually feared Shen Yi for the same reason.
He didn't want to compete with such a person, and he didn't want to become the murderous knife in the evil emperor's hand.
Although the bosses of the fourth difficulty are powerful, they are not as realistic as the threats of the strong men of the same difficulty, so Chen Tao chose to believe in Shen Yi.
After thinking for a while, Shen Yi asked: "Who did he find?"
"Wolf of the Netherworld, Xie Rongjun, Pandora, Haisu, Bai Ya, Hu Bai and me."
"They are all old friends." Shen Yi smiled.
The Evil Emperor really knows how to find people. He has found almost all those who have had problems with the Broken Blade Team. This group of people already have hatred for Shen Yi, so it is probably not necessary to unite them to deal with Shen Yi. What extra price did the Evil Emperor pay?
"There is another team, I don't know the specific strength, but I heard it belongs to a certain family, and it seems that they also have some issues with you."
"The Dane family?" Shen Yi frowned.
Speaking of what is going on with this family, he is still confused. But it seems that they are going to have another encounter with this family this time.
"Any idea what their plan is?"
"It's not clear yet. I just know that they have prepared several space sealing props to deal with you. As for the specific action plan, it may not be until you enter the mission world. By the way, they may also have obtained a team assembly order. , I heard that you sold it."
"...Really, that's really interesting." Shen Yi laughed.
Then he looked at Chen Tao seriously: "Thank you very much for telling me such useful news. How do you want me to thank you?"
In this extremely realistic world, never expect others to be selfless to you. Shen Yi naturally would not think that Chen Tao just came here to tell him these things for nothing. Speaking of which, even if Chen Tao was afraid that he would not want to go against him, he did not have to betray others. to the point where it means that he must ask for something.
Sure enough, Chen Tao replied: "I hope you promise me two things. First: Haisu, Bai Ya, and Hu Bai will all participate in this operation. I hope that if conditions permit, you will not kill the three of them."
"No problem." Shen Yi agreed immediately.
"Second: I know you have the ability to plunder. I want one-third of the profits you get from the other party."
Shen Yi immediately said: "Promise me something, and I will give you half of the benefits."
"As long as it's not too dangerous, it's easy to talk about."
"Don't worry, it's not dangerous at all. I just need to convince them to go to the South District to participate in the mission the next time I enter the mission world."
"Southern District?" Chen Tao frowned: "Then there must be a battle mission between the two southeastern districts."
"There will be... I choose my mission, right?" Shen Yi smiled.
"Am I considered an undercover agent?"
"From the moment you sit here, you are already." Shen Yi smiled and handed over the coat of arms, which was an agreement that had just been written.
———————————————
After Chen Tao left, everyone in the Broken Blade team gathered together again.
After learning that the Evil Emperor had indeed known about the Eye of Hades and was preparing to attack them, everyone was neither surprised nor surprised.
Speaking of waiting for the Evil Emperor to come to his door, everyone waited for more than a day or two, but no one expected that this guy would not come to the door and just attack. It was really insidious and ruthless.
King Kong was a little worried: "What to do with the plan? We have already made it, but suddenly there is such a variable."
"Everything remains as usual." Shen Yi said: "I have asked Chen Tao to arrange for his opponents to go to the Southern District at that time. They cannot affect us until the battle for hegemony among the four tribes officially begins."
"The question is, can Chen Tao be trusted?" Wen Wenwen was also a little worried.
Even if an agreement is signed, it does not mean that the other party can be fully trusted. Who can be sure that this is not a counter-intentional plan by the opponent? Don't forget that there is such a thing as a book of breach of trust in the city. Besides, there are always text holes in the text of the agreement. It allows the other party to take advantage of the loopholes.
Shen Yi replied: "We can only believe him for the time being, and it depends on his future performance. We will not entrust our lives to him, but there is no need to be timid because of doubting him. The reason why spies can do things is because they There are usually two key factors. One is to have important information about one's own side. The other is to rely on the performance of spies to win or lose the battle. As long as we avoid these two points, we will neither let Chen Tao know our details nor bet the outcome on Chen Tao. If we take the decision-making power into our own hands when it comes to rebelling, then whether he is rebelling against the other party or not, it will not have much impact on us."
For Shen Yi, Chen Tao's role is to do things according to his instructions. He does not need to know what the Broken Blade team has, nor does he need to provide any opinions on future battles. After all the information is given, Shen Yi will do it himself Make judgment and analysis. As long as Chen Tao's role is not magnified, the damage he can cause will be equally limited.
"In this case, should we make some changes in the enhancement?" King Kong asked Shen Yi. The previous enhancements were all for the mission world. Now that a group of enemies are about to join, some countermeasures are bound to be needed.
Shen Yi shook his head: "That's not necessary. You guys get ready and go to the home world later. I'll leave for a while."
"Where are you going?" Gentle asked.
Murderous intent flashed through Shen Yi's eyes: "Let's meet some friends. Since the Evil Emperor can find helpers to deal with me, why can't we find helpers?"
