Deep underground in the remote desert, there is a city without night and day. A group of girls live there. Their biggest dream is to see the rising sun, smell the sea, and listen to the wind. The sound of forest through meadow.
When dreams are so humble, you should be forgiven for doing anything for them.
The night before the hunt started, Huo Jingshan brought back five girls. They were young, beautiful, and unique in their own way. The oldest among them was only nineteen years old.
Li Muye knew very well why they came to him, and he also knew that they were prepared to sacrifice everything for their dreams. This was a huge opportunity for any man. Brother Xiaoye hesitated for a while, but still refused. Facing such people and dreams, it takes a lot of courage to make uncertain promises.
The five girls came and went without saying anything. Their tears fell to the ground like broken pearls, hitting Brother Ono's heart.
Huo Jingshan looked at the man angrily and asked, "Why? Don't you like this tune the best?"
"Because I'm not sure whether I can help them." Li Muye said, "Just as I'm absolutely sure whether Taiping will do anything for you."
"They still have hope in the Taiping Society." Huo Jingshan said: "Linlin told them that as long as you are willing to cooperate with the Taiping Society's plan, they will have the opportunity to take their mothers out of this hell on earth."
"Purgatory on earth?" Li Muye was stunned for a moment and sighed softly. If it wasn't for a certain level of pain, who would say that about their own home
"Isn't it?" Huo Jingshan said coldly: "Maybe it doesn't matter to you."
Li Muye said: "You know that's not what I meant."
"But you still cruelly refuse to give them promises and hope."
"I will do my best, but the premise is that you don't put your hopes in the Taiping Society. I need all the truth you know." Li Muye shook the porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "What I know now is that this is a This game has been brewing for many years. The vice-president of the Taiping Association is a very patient person. I have never encountered such a terrible opponent. What is even more terrifying is that tomorrow this game will be fermented. I But know nothing about them.”
This is a battle of trust with the Taiping Society.
Huo Jingshan was silent, and Li Muye looked at her quietly. Looking at each other, Huo Jingshan suddenly said softly: "The contact person in the city is Jiang Qiuping, he is from the Taiping Association." After a pause, she added: "The younger brother my mother trusts is named Zhang Junpeng. Not only is he from the Taiping Association, The vice president is Zhang Junyi’s younger brother. After Hu Leibao’s death, Zhang Junyi came to me to identify himself and said that in order to protect Jiang Qiuping, he asked me to report directly to him any situation in the future.”
Li Muye listened carefully and said, "Thank you for choosing to believe me." Then he asked, "Who else knows about this?"
"No one else knows. Only my mother and he were childhood sweethearts. The Zhang brothers and Huo Ze have sworn hatred. Only my mother knows about this."
"They have been planning for many years, and of course it is not just to rescue us, but I believe that if their plan succeeds, we will at least live a better life than now." She took a deep breath and continued: "You were not involved in the plan Originally, they had another candidate, but I don’t know why they suddenly changed to you. They ordered me to try to contact you and convey the instructions to you. This is all I know. So far, the only surprise in the whole plan is that Huo Ze let you join the Tianji Group."
"If this accident hadn't happened, what should I have done as a cook in my original plan?"
"I don't know. They originally planned to notify me today, but they temporarily modified the plan because of your change of identity. But I think this is not important. Anyway, their purpose is to destroy the City that never sleeps."
"Do you believe they will succeed?"
"I hope they succeed because we have no hope."
"Have you ever wondered why Huo Ze suddenly asked me to join Daredevil Tianji?"
"I… "
"Do you remember that I told you that night that this matter is not over yet?"
"What exactly are you going to say?"
"What I want to say is that they and you both underestimate Huo Ze."
"What do you mean? Do you think he already knows the Taiping Society's plan?" Huo Jingshan said, "Why do you say that?"
"That day, Qi Di came to me first and informed me of the news about joining the Night Demon Organization. At that time, I wanted to know where he got the news. Later, Huo Ze and I met alone in the small courtyard, and we talked about something. After that, he strongly invited me to join the Tianji Group. From then on, I realized that he deliberately leaked the news about Qi Di in order to make me mentally prepared to accept the change of position. At the same time, it also destroyed the original plan of the Taiping Society without alerting you."
"I don't believe it!" Huo Jingshan couldn't accept it and said, "This is all your imagination."
Li Muye sighed and said: "Because the hearts of people in the world are too complicated, that's why the world is so dangerous. Huo Ze's ability to get to where he is today is based on his ability, not luck."
"I still feel that your inference lacks factual support."
"If I assume that he saw through my disguise from the beginning, you will understand that the lie we concocted at the banquet that night had no effect at all, and that he has been pretending to be stupid, waiting for the Taiping Council to The moment we met each other." Li Muye said: "Joining the Tianji Group was a very sudden thing for me, the Taiping Society, and even Huo Ze. Originally, he wanted me to go to the Nine-story Enamel Tower. , but because Hu Leibao’s death made him aware of something, he changed his mind to meet with me alone, in order to confirm his guess at a close distance.”
"You mean he already saw that you were disguised?" Huo Jingshan questioned: "But since he saw through your disguise, why didn't he expose you on the spot, but instead entrusted you with a heavy responsibility?"
"Of course it's because doing this may bring him greater benefits." Li Muye said: "At the banquet that day, Jiang Qiuping deliberately pointed out the death of Hu Leibao at the hands of you and me according to his wishes. In fact, it was In order to make me believe that he has not seen my disguise, the purpose of stabilizing me is to make you and the people of the Taiping Association convinced that this plan can continue to be implemented."
"Don't you think you think he is too smart?" Huo Jingshan said: "Your disguise seems to me to be perfect. Regarding the cause of Hu Leibao's death, the reasons we gave are not all fabricated. How could he Did you judge that there was something wrong with you and me in that matter?"
"I just feel that I still underestimated him." Li Muye said: "Don't you understand? For people like Huo Ze, if a person has a problem, just suspicion is enough to sentence him to death. If there is no deeper purpose, , how can we allow you and me to continue to live?"
"I suddenly feel that you are even scarier than him." Huo Jingshan stared at Li Muye as if she was a ghost and said, "If these inferences of yours turn out to be true."

"Vice President Zhang of the Taiping Association is not stupid either. He may have noticed that the situation has changed, so he changed the target, but you are unaware and continue to place blind hopes on them." Li Muye said: "If I do 100% as they ask, the consequences are likely to be that I poison a big shot and bring huge trouble to the city that never sleeps. If you continue to execute the escape plan, the Taiping people will evacuate in time, and there will be no one to respond. You guys, Huo Ze’s losses are certainly heavy, but I have to pay the price with my life.”
"Jiang Qiuping is from the Taiping Association, and so is Zhang Junyi. If Huo Ze is aware of it, how come they don't know about it at all?"
"But what if Jiang Qiuping is not from the Taiping Association?" Li Muye said: "I talked to Yan Hongfei once before, and he deliberately told me something. I'm not sure what his purpose was, but I passed What he said made me more certain about what kind of person Huo Ze is and Jiang Qiuping's past contribution to the city that never sleeps. In my opinion, no one can stay undercover by Huo Ze's side for so many years, especially this Jiang Qiuping."
"Is that why you are so determined to know who is the person in charge of the Taiping Society in the city that never sleeps?"
"Yes." Li Muye heard that she had begun to accept his point of view, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The entire plan has been exposed. Both the Taiping Society and the Evernight City have their own plans. If we follow their wishes, , the most likely possibility is that both you and I will be victims of their struggle."
Huo Jingshan is not stupid. Li Muye's analysis and speculation are well-founded and are objective judgments made based on the hearts of people in the world. It was not difficult for her to understand, but the process of acceptance was a bit cruel.
"Jianghu, Jianghu." Huo Jingshan murmured to herself: "It's really terrible. As you said before, we are too naive compared with these old Jianghu." Her face showed sadness and despair, and she looked painfully Looking at Li Muye, he asked: "Brother Li, are we completely hopeless?"
"Only when you are dead can you talk about despair!" Li Muye said in a decisive tone: "We are all still alive!"
"Are you willing to help us?" Huo Jingshan's eyes regained a little sparkle and she looked at Li Muye intently.
"I am not a god or a Buddha, and I cannot save all sentient beings, so you must be prepared to face failure with an objective and rational attitude." Li Muye said in a deep voice: "The moment you choose to trust me and tell the truth about the Taiping Society, I will I have decided not to stay out of it.”
"We have lied to you for so long, and you are really still willing to help us?" Huo Jingshan was in disbelief, with a complicated look on her face. She was 30% doubtful and 70% grateful.
Li Muye said: "This may make you feel uncomfortable. To me, the city that never sleeps is a very interesting place." After a pause, he continued: "And the most interesting thing is getting to know you daughters of the Huo tribe. I have played the role of a shameless bastard for most of my life, and even I have recognized this identity. It is no exaggeration to say that Huo Ze and I are actually the same people, so I can understand the whole thing and He is the person who makes that judgment.”
"But you still decided to help us, Brother Li, you are a good person."
"You are wrong again." Li Muye said: "It is impossible for a good person to be as rational as me when facing these things. I had no sympathy for you at first, and I had no sympathy for what Brother Huo Ze did in the Nightless City. It’s not unacceptable, and even now, I’m still thinking about how to get some benefit from this.”
"I do not understand what you mean."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you know that I will help you escape from the sea of suffering." Li Muye said: "Remember my words, no matter what happens tomorrow, don't follow the Taiping Society's plan, leave everything to me! Trust my judgment, if Huo Ze just wanted your life and mine, he would have done it long ago."
"Brother Li, I would rather believe you!" Huo Jingshan said: "But please remember, if you let us down, we will not let you go even if we are ghosts." (End of Chapter)
