Lance is taken aback by Carl and Rose's talk about the safe house.
What surprised Lance even more was that in the safe house, he actually saw someone he had seen a long time ago.
"Hey, little fish, long time no see."
Standing in the safe house, the one who greeted them turned out to be a big man with a beard.
The bearded man recognized Lance in the crowd at a glance. He greeted Lance. Lance saw that the right arm of the big man was a mechanical arm. At the same time, there was a small seagull standing on the shoulder of the big man. .
Seeing Lance, the little seagull called out to Lance:
[purchase-]
Lance gasped.
Damn, isn't this the Seagull boss who traded with him before
And this safe house also made Lance speechless, because it used to be the apartment of Earl Vere, the blond man who once captured Lance in the black market.
Lance recognized this place. The layout here is exactly the same as the one where he was sent to the black market and then caught and put in the fish tank by Earl Vere. It has not changed at all, but it may be because the owner is dead. Take care, there is a thick layer of dust on the furniture.
Lance couldn't help but look towards the corner of the balcony, where there was a fish tank as high as a wall before;
As a result, now, Lance only saw a base, and the fish tank seemed to be broken and gone.
After thinking about it carefully, Lance finally recognized who the big man was, and he said in surprise:
"You are the assistant of Earl Vile, Old Tang?!"
Old Tang laughed honestly.
Since the death of Earl Vier, as the assistant of Earl Vier, Old Tang has become the leader of the black market and continues to operate the black market.
As for one of his arms being replaced with a mechanical arm, it was injured in the previous high wall incident. There was no other way, so he had to amputate his limb and replace it with a mechanical arm.
"You know this seagull... oh no, how did you know each other?"
Lance didn't care about the other people behind him, so he pointed to the seagull on Old Tang's shoulder in surprise.
[purchase-]
The little seagull tilted its head, and asked in the language of sea monsters,
[What’s wrong with you? Don't you like this human being? But this human being is my little brother.]
The sea monster didn't know what Lance was astonished at. It foolishly thought that Old Tang was its little brother, and Lance was scared when he saw a stranger.
In the eyes of the little seagull, it was not old Tang who came to see Lance today, but it, the little seagull, took the younger brother to show Lance the nest that the younger brother found for Lance.
So, nothing to be afraid of.
The little seagull thought, this human is its younger brother, if Lance really doesn't like it, then it has no choice but to reluctantly fire this younger brother.
"That's a long story."
Old Tang sighed faintly. He touched the little seagull with his thick fingers. His gentle look was like a tiger sniffing a rose. He said,
"As you can see, I'm now... making a deal with a sea monster."
I see.
Lance just breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to gasp again.
He said how the things Little Seagull brought him before are so suitable for human beings, and the feelings are the set meal prepared by Old Tang for Little Seagull!
From this point of view, Old Tang even had a far-sighteder vision than his former leader of the black market. The original blond man, Earl Weir, was only doing transactions between humans.
That's really a global deal.
"Hey, I know about mermaids, and I also encountered that kind of thing..."
Old Tang's eyes began to drift, he noticed Wenser behind Lance, and suddenly stopped.
Without him, it was because of the inhuman feeling on Wenser that Lao Tang instantly recalled what happened in this apartment—
At that time, in order to find Earl Weir, Old Tang and the army came to the bathroom.
Afterwards, Old Tang saw Wen Yu execute the murloc in a semi-conscious state. Isn't the coldness of Wen Yu's execution of the murloc the same as the current Wen Yu
That is, after this incident, Old Tang's outlook on life and values have changed. He began to think that, perhaps, humans should learn to get along with sea monsters.
In an instant, old Tang's hair was terrified.
Obviously Old Tang was the big guy, but in front of Wenser, he felt that his aura had dropped a lot.
In order to avoid being killed by Wenser, Old Tang began to pretend to be nonchalant, slowly looked away, and changed the subject:
"Oh, by the way, your suitcase is also in this room, I asked Seagull to bring it over."
Lance nodded wildly.
Obviously, the shock he received was a bit big, and he is still digesting it now.
…
After settling down, it was almost evening.
After several people cleaned up the surrounding area, they began to discuss the future arrangements.
To Lance's surprise, he originally thought that Old Tang was just being a landlord, but unexpectedly, from the words of Carl and Rose, they had successfully brought the current black market leader to his side.
This burly man seems to have a simple mind and well-developed limbs, but in fact he is as careful as a needle and has a long-term vision. He is worthy of being the brother and assistant of Earl Weir.
"The news inside the black market is much better than outside."
Old Tang fed the seagulls with bread crumbs while taking a bite of a piece of bread. He said,
"After the high wall was breached, the conservatives within the Alliance now have the upper hand. They secretly restarted the 'Wandering Project', planning to keep only a part of the fire and send it to the universe... the spaceship that had been shelved for many years, and Started building."
After saying this, everyone fell silent.
After all, Lance is not a personal experience of this doomsday, he asked curiously:
"Is this plan bad? Why are you all so gloomy?"
"This plan is actually Noah's Ark."
Rose looked up at Lance with sad eyes,
"The great flood, Noah's Ark... At that time, not all creatures were rescued on board."
In the story, Noah built the ark, but because the ark had limited space, he only carried a pair of male and female animals for each animal to reproduce, just to ensure that the species could survive.
In the same way, the wandering plan can only carry some people as fire, and the rest are destined to be left behind, waiting to die here.
This plan may be more tragic than the plan of changing genes and retaking the earth advocated by Dr. Muran—
Because the earth's resources are limited now, they are gathering the energy of the whole earth to cast the ark, and after the ark is cast, only a small number of people will be sent to the ark, and then wander in the universe, facing the unknown future.
"Forget it, don't think about such long-term things."
Carl, who has always been heartless, was the first to break the atmosphere of silence. He looked at Lance and Winsor curiously, and asked,
"Do you know what's going on in the alliance?"
Ha, finally got to the point.
Lance and Winsor looked at each other, and then Lance said to Carl seriously:
"The origin of this matter, uh, is a bit complicated... You see, even mermaids can appear in this world, so it's not so strange to have another thing, right?"
Wenser opened his eyelids, glanced at the crowd indifferently, and then propped his head on one hand, watching Lance talking nonsense with great interest.
Lance naturally knew that Wenser's affairs could not be freely told to others.
He was taken aback just after learning from Wenser that the origin of creatures in this world was related to Wenser;
He doesn't think that human beings will just accept such an origin theory.
What's more, human beings are really too fragile, and Weier is good at mental pollution. Lance is a little scared. Don't take people there, and teammates will directly become enemies.
So, after some deliberation, Lance had to say that Winsor is a kind of monster.
"Have you read Journey to the West? After the Lady Bones in it was beaten to death by Monkey King, didn't she also leave a skin and run away?"
Lance tried to explain the relationship between Wenser and Wen Yu in this way.
Winsor: "..."
As a result, the safe house fell into silence again.
It's just that the silence is a little awkward this time.
Fortunately, everyone knows that Lance is unwilling to speak out, it must be because human beings cannot understand the existence of Wenser.
Carl and Rose only need to confirm that Wenser is Wen Yu, and there will be no objection;
As for Old Tang, since he had seen murlocs and mermaids, he was still trading with seagulls. As long as Lance and Wenser didn't intend to kill him, he would be fine.
The two parties exchanged a bit, and after confirming their respective information, they hit it off under the auspices of Rose. They said that after two days, they would sneak into the laboratory with Wenser and Lance to take a look at the laboratory. What exactly happened.
"Let's call it a day."
Rose finally decides,
"Everyone rest first, and tomorrow we will each collect relevant information and weapons, and break into the laboratory two days later."
Lance nodded quickly.
But in fact, three hours later, everything was quiet, and after only Lance and Winsor were left in the safe house, Lance quietly prepared to slip out of the window of his own room—
"what are you doing?"
Wenser didn't know when he woke up. He lay on the bed, propped up his upper body, and saw that Lance had stepped out of the window.
Lance blinked and said:
"The moon is full tonight."
"Um?"
"All right."
Since he was caught by the client, Lance simply sat on the window sill and said,
"I'm not going to let Carl and Rose get involved."
He paused, glanced at Wenser, and quietly added:
"You too."
"Why exclude me?"
Winsor asked, "Vill is a part of me, he's better than you."
"If you really have a way to deal with Will, why not just do it?"
Lance pointed out this question sharply,
"Even for human beings, when facing the desire and darkness deep in their hearts, few people can overcome them. Most people are directly dragged into the abyss by desire and darkness... Wenser, I'm afraid to bring you there , when the time comes, I’m afraid I’ll have to deal with two Wills.”
For example, every time Lance eats something he likes, he thinks "this is the last bite".
But in fact, because he liked those things so much, every time he took a bite, he swore "this is the last bite", one bite after another, and finally finished everything.
Insufficient self-control is one thing, and too much temptation is another.
In the process of coming, the incident on the small island made Lance realize that someone in the alliance might have noticed Weier's conspiracy and was trying to resist Weier at the same time.
Lance believes that in this situation, instead of completely trusting Winsor to solve Will, it is better to find the "warrior" who tried to imprison "Ville".
Maybe human beings are too small compared to Weier, but in fact, human beings are too smart. Lance believes that human beings may really have a way to solve Weier.
After listening to Lance's explanation, Wenser was silent for a while, and finally he admitted:
"Perhaps you are right."
He sat up and said to Lance:
"It was only when I got here that I realized that I should keep a certain distance from Will... I can sense him, and he can sense me."
Winsor only discovered this problem after entering the league.
Within a certain distance, he and Weir could feel each other's presence.
Of course, now Wenser has tried his best to avoid being discovered, so Weier should be able to sense it at a certain moment. He didn't know that Wenser had entered the alliance.
The reason why after entering the alliance, Wenser didn't directly go to Will with a lot of fanfare—
Well, on the one hand, it was because he didn't want to kill in front of Lance.
After all, if he really wanted to kill Will here, Winsor would definitely reveal his real body, and with so many humans here, I'm afraid that after Wenser revealed his real body, people in the entire alliance would not even want to live. .
Another reason is that Wenser was thinking.
Think about what method should be used.
Lance sighed:
"So, now I have to find that existing ally first, and then use myself as a bait to lure Vile away, right?"
Winsor nodded honestly.
Breaking through the laboratory is not in Wenser's plan at all.
Karl and their human thoughts can easily turn this "personal grievance" (which may be a disaster for human beings) into a struggle between human beings.
Winsor doesn't mind humans playing him to death, but he minds that Will will get involved.
