It was still the open-air restaurant that was brought when they met again, but the location was moved from the rainy outside to the warm indoor. The blond girl sitting in the private room pushed a freshly served cup of coffee down in front of Ye Qi.
"Thank you!" Ye Qi picked up the coffee and tasted it - compared to coffee, he prefers the sweetness of milk tea; compared with Ye Qi, the blond girl obviously prefers coffee. After tasting carefully, she slightly stirred the coffee spoon , looked at Ye Qi: "Is there any answer to my last proposal?"
"Alliance? I'm afraid it's something you don't even believe yourself?" Ye Qi put down his teacup, and stared at the blonde girl's eyes uncompromisingly, with a deep and forceful voice: "The Secret Service and the Witcher Guild can only cooperate. And the Impossible League! You need enough merit to get you back into the elite ranks of the Secret Service, and I just want to run the Bay Area well; although our goals are different, but the method used is the same, so we can Cooperation; of course, only for a short period of time, until you return to the elite team of the Secret Service; short-term cooperation, each takes what it needs—this is my answer!"
The blond girl stirred the coffee spoon, pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!" Ye Qi raised the teacup in his hand and smiled.
…
Snapped!
The exquisite vase placed in the bedroom was swept to the ground by the angry Theodore, making a crisp sound; after hearing the crisp sound, the servants outside the room did not go in to clean it immediately, but remained silent. Withdrew to a distant place - recently, their master's temper has become worse and worse, and several companions have been dismissed for various reasons; in order to keep this job with considerable income, they have secretly reached a consensus , never appear when the master is angry; as for the broken vase? It's not the first one anyway, and it won't cost them their money, just clean it up afterwards...
Damn it! Damn it! All bloody bastards!
As long as he thinks of Ye Qi's nonchalant appearance, Theodore will feel a fire burning in his chest—the other party easily got the seat he had worked so hard for nearly ten years with a single order from the headquarters How could he not be angry? Especially thinking of the contemptuous look that the other party didn't even want to talk to him when he saw him, it made him feel that his dignity was trampled by the other party and spit again; and since then, accepting him on weekdays " Some high-level executives at the headquarters of "Enshrined" also severed all contact with him, and did not even give him a chance to make a comeback...
Crash!
After the vase, the support of the visiting vase also followed the same fate, and was kicked and fell apart by the angry Theodore—in order to be able to successfully ascend to the throne of the branch president, he not only spent a lot of money, but also to be able to Sit still, and specially hired several retired mercenaries to teach him the knowledge of firearms and fighting; but now everything is useless...
Ten years of painstaking efforts were all in vain...
He grabbed the wine bottle on the bedside table, uncorked it, and gulped it down—at times like this, only alcohol can give him some comfort; even under the cold alcohol, the flame in his chest will become more intense. scorching hot.
"Do you want to take back everything that belongs to you?" The cold voice came into Theodore's ears—even he, who had been anesthetized by alcohol, shuddered in this voice, as if he was caught by a cat in his sleep. It's as if a poisonous snake is entangled in the body, making people shudder; Theodore's eyes widened hard to find the target of the voice: "Who? Who is here? Come out!"
"Do you want to take back everything that belongs to you?" The cold voice rang again, and following the voice, a figure in a cloak slowly walked out of the shadow of the bedroom; but even so, The face of the other party was still covered by the hood of the cloak, so Theodore could not see clearly; seeing the other party who appeared suddenly, Theodore slowly retreated to the bedside table - there was his self-defense weapon there, although he had already left The position of the head of the Bay Area Demon Hunter branch, but he retained some habits; of course, he regarded these as the necessary capital for a comeback; Theodore stepped back and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing?"
"A person who wants to help you!" The cloaked man's answer was very direct, and at the same time, his movements were even more direct - he slightly raised his hand, and a green flame appeared on the bedside table, burning violently; The sudden flame startled Theodore, and the man in the cloak spoke again: "Do you want to get back everything you lost? Do you want to take revenge on those who trampled on your dignity? ability?"
Although the voice of the man in the cloak was still cold, it was more irresistible - the flame in Theodore's chest burned again in the voice of the other party, and it was stronger than ever; and under the stimulation of alcohol Now, after his paralysis, his mind has already started to go crazy...
"Put your hand on it, and you'll get everything you want!" The cloaked man took out a palm-sized box, and placed it flat in front of Theodore; the seductive voice continued He wrote: "Hate those people! Your hatred and anger will turn into a sharp blade of revenge..."
After hesitating for a moment, Theodore's hand finally placed on the box; immediately a red light emanated from the surface of the box, illuminating Theodore's hideously distorted face; Appearance in the shadows—a handsome appearance, with a scar under the corner of the eye, which stands out...
…
It has been the tenth day of rainy days in Landingburg, even in the overly foggy bay, it is rare to see continuous rain; the cloudy sky, the rain falling at any time and place, if there is no clock , People in Landingburg can hardly tell when it is day and when it is night.
slap...
The military boots stepped on the water-logged road, making a loud sound. Ye Qi, holding an umbrella, followed the swordsman into a motel room; He did not block Ye Qi's footsteps—after entering the room, he carefully checked the corpse and the surrounding situation; however, to his disappointment, there were no useful clues left; there were no traces of struggle or struggle. Any clues that can clearly show what kind of dark creature it is; in short, like the previous two incidents, there are no clues left...
"Chairman, this is the third time this week!" The swordsman clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the corpse on the bed, and his voice was full of unwillingness and anger: "Yeah, Dude, Moqi three The best hunters in the Bay Area, and like to help out newbies; who the hell killed all three of them!"
"Siril calm down, anger will only make us more lost in the direction of exploration!" Ye Qi patted the swordsman on the shoulder, and after a little thought, he immediately said: "Now you immediately send a message to all the demon hunters near the bay. Notice, let them pay attention to this hunter-killer who just appeared, and don't act alone! As for this guy, leave it to me!"
"Yes, branch leader!" Swordsman nodded, and then suggested: "I will also..."
"You stay at the bar!" Ye Qi interrupted the other party's proposal, looked at the other party solemnly, and stared: "That is the headquarters of our Bay Area demon hunters, if this guy takes the opportunity to take it away, we will If you kill the other party, you will be ridiculed by some people!"
"Understood, branch leader..."
…
After parting ways with the swordsman, Ye Qi turned around and walked towards the open-air restaurant—although the life of a demon hunter is precarious, three incidents in which innocent demon hunters were killed in a row within a week are enough to attract his attention; This is definitely not accidental, but someone or a dark creature deliberately planned; and at the first time, he thought of Levin Van Gogh; , still makes him feel that this is what the other party did...
"I've mobilized all the resources, but I haven't found Levin Vatican!" The blond girl who had been waiting in the private room of the restaurant shook her head immediately after seeing Ye Qi: "And it's not just a demon hunter, Two monks in the Holy See also died tragically in their room this week, and Odo has mobilized a whole team of apologist knights to protect the safety of the church... "
"Protector Knight?" Ye Qi curled his lips in disdain—although the name of the Protestant Knight has the word "Knight", its combat power is only cannon fodder similar to that of the black-clothed deacon, and at most it has a little wisdom; and He also has deep doubts about whether the white-robed priest can effectively command this group of guardian knights; although the other party is truly kind-hearted, someone who is too kind will always be regarded as weak by some people... Shaking his head , Tossing the thought of the white-robed priest out of his mind, Ye Qi looked at the blond girl again and reminded: "The demon hunter and the Holy See both have accidents; the Secret Service may also be on the other party's list, you have to be careful!"
"Are you worried about me?" The blond girl was surprised by Ye Qi's words, she blinked and looked at Ye Qi who was opposite; Ye Qi picked up the milk tea and said lightly: "I just don't want to be so soon It’s all about losing a person who can cooperate!”
"Thank you! Although I am not an apostle like Your Excellency, I have the talent beyond ordinary people, but I still have the ability to protect myself!" After the blond girl finished speaking bluntly, she got up and left the private room; and after the blond girl left, the private room The moment the door of the room was closed, Ye Qi's fingertips shone with a dazzling white glow, and five ball-shaped lightnings collided with the void on the side with arcs, and immediately a figure flashed out of the void...
