…
"Then... Mr. Roland, the association's third line of defense is entrusted to you."
"Don't worry, I will do my best."
After saying goodbye to Rock, Roland walked out of the guard's office and sighed softly.
Things didn't go as smoothly as he thought. Prism City's tracking of the fallen demon was also stagnant, and he failed to get more information about the whereabouts of the other party.
The guard informed him to come, mainly to arrange the garrison task of the martial arts conference.
This plan has also been mentioned before. After the tracking operation was frustrated, it became one of the main plans to counterattack the enemy. Since the fallen demons are hiding so deeply, it is better to wait for the rabbit at the conference. In order to prevent internal consumption, the senior officials of the association simply set up a competition schedule, and asked the star martial artists to follow the content on the table.
In other words, this martial arts conference will completely turn into a well-placed trap.
Although there are suspicions of match-fixing, in the face of an existential crisis, everyone knows which is more important. In addition, the high-level people attach great importance to this, and they are pulled into the office one by one for secret conversations, which can be considered to save everyone's face. When Roland came, he saw many celebrities in the hall, but no one showed dissatisfaction.
According to the plan, the entire defense circle is divided into four layers. The first layer is the government guard team and the members of the association disguised as spectators. The star martial artist below; the third layer is the old school master who hides his identity, and the last layer is the guard himself.
Such a complicated arrangement is to make the Martial Dao Conference seem to go smoothly before the Demon Fallen appears on a large scale, and the second is to consider that someone in the opponent can instantly control the Martial Daoist, it is difficult to be foolproof just by identifying the entrance and exit.
As the holder of the hunting license, he was naturally placed in the third line of defense—in fact, he was responsible for monitoring not only the suspicious characters in the field, but also those participating martial artists.
Although Roland was a little regretful that he could not get new clues about where the fallen demons were hiding, he had no better way for the time being. It is already the most feasible way to set up a trap and wait for the opponent to slam in.
After all, he knew more than the Association.
The Fallen are not simply attracted by the "force of nature".
What drives them to act is the will from the realm of the gods. Their ultimate purpose is to destroy the dream world and return all magic to the world of consciousness.
Therefore, there is a chance to obtain so many cores at one time, and the enemy should not let it go easily.
When walking to the corner of the corridor, a woman's figure suddenly appeared in front of Roland.
He suddenly felt his scalp tighten. Whoever the other party can't do, is the person he doesn't want to bump into at the moment.
The talented martial artist of the association, Fei Yuhan.
"Ah... it's you." She seemed to have noticed Roland as well, raised her head and said.
There were only the two of them in the empty corridor. It would be too stiff to pretend that they didn't see them at this time. He had to clear his throat, squeeze out a smile and say, "Cough, hello."
However, the other party's next sentence made his smile freeze on his face.
"By the way, I haven't thanked you properly for what happened last time." She stretched out her hand and said casually, "Thank you for killing that weird monster and saving everyone from the crisis."
"Uh—" Roland didn't know what to say for a while, and after a while he reluctantly answered, "No, you're welcome..."
"It's a pity that the association put all the credit on me..." Fei Yuhan sighed softly.
"No, no, that's fine," he quickly waved his hand. "Actually... I have to hide my identity for some special reasons. The less people notice me, the better."
"Okay then," the other party unexpectedly didn't delve further, but responded readily, "Since you said that, then I'll accept it as a gift."
Roland was surprised, why did Fei Yuhan accept this remark so calmly? If she remembered everything that happened before she fell into a coma, she would never forget the voice of the spirit. But judging from her attitude, she clearly wanted to ignore this matter.
Judging from the previous contacts and the comments he has heard, the other party is not a carefree person, it can even be said to be the complete opposite - like all young geniuses, Fei Yuhan is arrogant and critical, demanding of himself and others. They are all extremely high, and their conversations are often filled with the chill of refusing people thousands of miles away. They are by no means a good martial artist.
But now, the other party's performance is completely opposite to the image in his mind.
"By the way," Fei Yuhan asked casually, as if he suddenly remembered something, "What types of encyclopedias do you think a history buff would like?"
Roland was stunned, "Why are you asking this?"
"Remember the survivor from the Kagad Peninsula we visited last time?" she explained, "Miss Vakiris, she is now part of my team. I was worried about her while she was recovering. It's too boring, I didn't expect that her interest is actually reading books-in the past month, she almost turned over all the history books in the library."
Are you still worried about others? Roland twitched the corner of his mouth secretly, and when he was about to speak, suddenly an electric light flashed through his mind, causing the cold hairs on his back to stand up! Wait a minute, isn't the Vakiris she said about the devil who seemed familiar in the memory fragment
This month, the other party has been reading books non-stop, and they are all history books
"… from start to finish?"
"Well, especially the history of war. Interesting fetish, isn't it?"
Could it be... is this just a coincidence? Roland's thoughts turned sharply, and he changed his words temporarily, "Indeed... I think it should be an encyclopedia about humanities and society. I'm sorry, I still have the task of guarding the account, and I have to go now. ."
Although this topic was interrupted a bit hastily, Fei Yuhan did not show any dissatisfaction.
"Me too." She nodded. "Goodbye, Mr. Roland."
"Ah... bye."
After the other party turned to leave, Roland walked downstairs with his face sinking into the water.
…
The pace quickened.
Fei Yuhan stopped and quietly listened to the footsteps that were gradually receding.
This "single encounter" is not a coincidence, but the result of her deliberate timing.
To be honest, Roland has always been the most difficult point to confirm in her speculation. He is different from Vakiris. If it wasn't for the voice of His Majesty, she could not find any flaws in the other party - for example, when he visited last time, he took out his mobile phone The frequency is three times a minute, the eyes will stay on a beautiful woman for an extra second or two, and the first choice of cola when choosing a drink... Everything is no different from ordinary people in this era.
This also makes an unexplainable contradiction in the idea of "another world" - since Vakiris knows Roland, it means that they originate from the same world, but why is there such a big difference between the two
Therefore, this encounter is not only a kindness to repay the other party, but also an attempt by Fei Yuhan.
And the results were surprising.
Roland seemed to realize the specialness of Vakiris through her reminder, but the reaction was very different from her expectation. As a "partner" from another world, if he wants to keep this matter hidden, he should cover up for Vakiris quietly.
But the first emotion the other party showed was a strong sense of caution, even more so than when she mentioned the joint extermination operation.
Although Roland tried his best to cover up, the beating of the muscles in the corners of his eyes was still clearly captured by her.
In terms of controlling his expression, he is obviously much worse than Vakiris.
It seems that this attempt is enough to be called a great benefit.
Now that she has decided to maintain this tacit understanding and continue to observe, the next interaction between the two will undoubtedly give her more clues.
Fei Yuhan raised the corner of his mouth and knocked on the door of the guard's office.
…
Roland returned to the Tongzilou community, and immediately found Phyllis and Tong En.
"I need you to spy on a devil, it may come from the memory fragments of the occupants of this building!"
