"so… "
"But, of course, it's not that easy." Chen Muye continued, "This kind of contract that can directly bind at the soul level and directly act on the mind is extremely precious. Even the Ancient God Church has a limited number of them, and each one will only be used on people they think are valuable and have potential.
Moreover, the main purpose of the Church of the Ancient God in developing [believers] is to make up for the problem of insufficient numbers. If after developing [believers] they choose to place them as undercover agents within the Night's Watch, it would be a waste in a sense.
Furthermore, this kind of contract is not an absolute control. In some cases, the controlled person can also remind others through hints, just like what Han Shaoyun just said, "solve the problem from the root", which also belongs to this aspect. Therefore, letting [believers] go undercover in the Night Watch still has certain risks. "
Hearing this, Hongying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Qiye nodded slightly in his heart. Indeed, if analyzed in this way, placing [Believers] among the Night Watchmen would definitely not be worth the cost.
However, if the person being controlled is in a high position, then it is a different story...
This is not Lin Qiye's conspiracy theory. He just subconsciously considers the worst case scenario. "The cost outweighs the gain" does not mean "I won't do it", and "the number is very small" does not mean "there is none at all".
It's always good to be more careful in everything.
"Anyway, the first battle of the new year is over. This thirteenth seat of [Believer], plus the 'Sea' realm cultivator that Yuan Gang dealt with, should be the entire top force for this assassination. This turmoil should be over." Wen Qimo stretched.
"Speaking of which, Brother Qiye will be back at camp tomorrow night." Hongying sighed, "It will be half a year before I see you again."
"At that time, he was a real night watchman." Wu Xiangnan said with a smile.
Lin Qiye smiled and said, "Actually... half a year is pretty fast."
The time in the training camp seemed to pass very slowly, but it also seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. He still clearly remembered the time when he was the first one to arrive at the entrance of the training camp, carrying his pink suitcase.
"Oh, right." Chen Muye seemed to have thought of something and stopped. "Tomorrow, invite your friends to come to your house for dinner."
Lin Qiye was stunned.
"Before, because you two were each other's targets and it was inconvenient for you to get together, you didn't call them. Now that the matter has been settled, you are Cangnan's host anyway, so it's only right that you come to our house for a meal."
"However, the office is the base of the Night Watch. Except for the members of Team 136, it is not easy for others to enter..." Wu Xiangnan said after thinking for a while.
"Come to my house!" Hongying patted her chest, "My house is big enough!"
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I'll ask them..."
…
The next afternoon.
Lin Qiye, Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, and the reluctant Shen Qingzhu stood in front of the villa.
Baili Pangpang looked at the villa in front of him, and then looked at Lin Qiye a few times, and said in surprise: "Wow, Qiye, your accommodation conditions are pretty good!"
"This is a friend's house. I'm just staying here temporarily." Lin Qiye shrugged.
Cao Yuan sniffed and swallowed, "I smell meat..."
He has been living in a love hotel with Baili Pangpang and Shen Qingzhu these past two days, and has been relying on takeout and instant noodles for meals. In addition, the food in the camp has been mediocre for the past six months, which has almost suffocated him.
"Aren't you a monk?"
"No, I just have Buddha in my heart."
"… "
Shen Qingzhu looked at the villa in front of him and frowned, "Didn't I tell you to invite your friends to dinner? Why did you invite me?"
Lin Qiye and the other two turned their heads and looked at him strangely.
Baili Pangpang held his forehead helplessly, walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "There should be a limit to being arrogant, right? Asking you to come here is of course to show...
We think you have done a great job as a tool these past two days!"
Shen Qingzhu's mouth twitched, and he slapped away Baili Pangpang's hand on his shoulder, and said unhappily:
"Who are you with, Fatty?"
"???" Baili Pangpang rolled up his sleeves, revealing two big white arms, which were densely tied with watches.
"Great! You're so good, Shen Qingzhu. I just paid you your wages today, and you're starting to act so arrogant, aren't you?"
Lin Qiye sighed helplessly, "Have you had enough of the fun? If you have, go in and eat first."
Baili Pangpang and Shen Qingzhu stared at each other with their eyes wide open, snorted at the same time, and then followed Lin Qiye into the villa.
"Let me introduce you, this is Captain Chen Muye..."
"This is the deputy captain Wu Xiangnan..."
"This is Sister Hongying. This house is also hers..."
"This is Wen Qimo..."
"Si Xiaonan..."
"Leng Xuan..."
Lin Qiye started introducing each other. After he introduced each person, Baili Pangpang would take off a watch from his arm and hand it to the other person with a smile.
"Captain Chen Muye! You are indeed extraordinary. I have been looking for a long time, and only this Rolex can barely match your temperament. Please accept it..."
"Hey, Brother Xiangnan, I didn't bring anything good this time, so please accept this green water ghost..."
"Wow, Sister Hongying, you are so beautiful, aren't you? But your wrist is a little empty, this Van Cleef & Arpels is just right for your temperament..."
"… "
Watching Baili Pangpang frantically giving watches to everyone, Cao Yuan and Shen Qingzhu, who had nothing in their hands, had their eyelids twitching and they wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. It was so embarrassing.
Wen Qimo, holding a Rolex, leaned close to Lin Qiye's ear with a strange expression, "Is this... the stupid son of a landlord?"
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, "Hmm!"
"Hey... I can see that he's a nice guy, but his brain doesn't seem to be very good..."
"… "
With the presence of Baili Pangpang, the atmosphere of the whole dinner suddenly became lively, while Cao Yuan turned into an emotionless eating machine, lowering his head and eating frantically.
As for Shen Qingzhu... he sat there stiffly. If anyone asked him about something, he would just smile and answer. The arrogance and domineering attitude he usually had in the camp had disappeared, and he looked like a shy big boy instead.
After a hearty meal, Lin Qiye picked up his luggage, said goodbye to everyone in Team 136, and went to the previously agreed boarding location with the other three people.
There, several familiar black buses had been waiting for a long time.
After handing in the standard Star Blade he brought from the camp, Lin Qiye boarded the bus and sat in the last row.
He looked out the window. In the pitch-black night, the outline of the city in the distance was faintly visible. On the top of a distant building, he seemed to see a figure holding a sniper rifle, sitting there alone, silently watching Lin Qiye leave...
Soon after, the bus started slowly, covered in starlight and night, and drove neatly towards the training camp...
