Faced with this situation, Benjamin could only take a deep breath, raise his hands, and show a gesture of surrender.
Before coming, he had expected that the other party might set up an ambush, and he had also considered the presence of the strange young man. However, what he didn't expect was that the strange young man could actually have this weird disguise method, and he could disguise himself as Augustine, and even Benjamin couldn't see any flaws in it.
expanded...
After confirming "Augustine", he did not use the water element induction method to observe more carefully. Otherwise, no matter how good the other party's disguise is, he can still find something wrong.
However, the matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it.
The current situation is a bit delicate. Benjamin doesn't know what the other party's purpose is, so he can't guess what the strange young man will do next. As long as the opponent holds the dagger and pushes forward, his life will be gone.
Therefore, he had to think of something.
"I suggest you be careful with the things on your hands." Feeling the slight stinging pain on the back of his neck, Benjamin put on a calm face and said, "If you accidentally kill me, No one can undo the curse on Sydney, and she will slowly die from repeated pain."
He was telling nonsense that was completely irrelevant. In his heart, he couldn't help but admire his own psychological quality.
In fact, if the opponent kills him here and no one controls the curse, it will remain silent there forever and will not occur. Sydney's life is worry-free, no different than the curse being lifted.
But... these people don't know!
The blonde also said that the curse has been lost abroad, and no one knows what it is. Therefore, Benjamin could just make it up on his own. If the other party is fooled by these words, even if he doesn't believe it, he will definitely not do anything to him just to be on the safe side.
As for the strange young man, although he seems mysterious and knows everything, don't forget that he and the blonde are in the same group. If he really knew about the curse, the blonde wouldn't look so confused whenever he mentioned the curse.
"Don't worry, if I really planned to kill you, you would have died long ago. There would be no chance to chat here." The strange young man behind him said in a joking tone.
"What do you want?" Benjamin asked helplessly.
"Get rid of the curse on Sydney." The blonde woman said immediately. Looking at the look in her eyes, if it weren't for the lies Benjamin had just made up, she would have already started urging the young man to take action.
"Then you should return my companion to me." Benjamin responded unceremoniously to the blonde while quickly thinking about what to do now.
Use your mind to cast spells for a sneak attack? It feels... seems feasible. However, he had to find a perfect opportunity to prevent the strange young man from reacting, so that he could reverse the current situation.
Otherwise, if the sneak attack fails and the opponent's hand shakes, your life will be ruined.
Speaking of which, where did that system that killed a thousand swords die? Before the strange young man pounces from behind, with the system's nature, he should have discovered the problem, jumped out, and alerted him!
Why does the system seem to freeze at a critical moment, with no sound at all
Exhausted.
"What's the point of asking me? I don't know where your companion is." However, the blonde woman snorted coldly and said.
Hearing this, Benjamin suddenly felt something was wrong.
"What do you mean by that? It was obviously you who took the person away." He immediately retorted.
"No, she is right." However, the strange young man standing behind Benjamin suddenly said at this moment, "Well... she deliberately brought the robber to find you, and the person she took away was me."
Hearing this, Benjamin felt even more confused.
"What on earth are you talking about?"
He felt like he was missing something.
"Let me tell you this, it's not the first day I've been pretending to be that uncle named Augustine." The young man said casually, sounding like he was joking, "After Hank Town, I She pretended to be him and followed you in your team. So, she actually just came to see me and has nothing to do with you at all."
At that moment, Benjamin felt like his brain was spinning.
… What on earth is he talking about
"Why... why do you keep following us?" After thinking for a long time, Benjamin asked.
"It's not convenient for me to disclose the specific details of the mercenary mission." The young man's tone was as if he was really chatting with Benjamin. "In short, if the mission requires it, I will definitely not hurt you in a short time. You can do this rest assured."
Put a yarn heart...
Benjamin felt speechless.
But... Thinking about it carefully, Augustine has indeed changed a bit since leaving Hank Town. His presence in the team has become lower. Sometimes Benjamin even forgets his existence.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the young man's words are not false...
What are you doing? This guy has been pretending to be Augustine and secretly following their team without being discovered at all? What does he want to do? If it hadn't been for the blonde woman's appearance, would this guy still be hiding among their mage team, following them all the time, secretly observing their every move
Benjamin suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
And, more importantly—where is the real Augustine
Where did this guy get him
"Where is the real Augustine?" Thinking of this, Benjamin immediately asked.
"At that time, I knocked him out, tied him up like you did to those two mages, and threw him in the hotel room." The young man replied casually, "I guess the next day, he will be like those two mages from the guild." Like other people, he was discovered by the hotel owner. As for where he is now, I really don’t know.”
“…”
I don’t know why, but Benjamin didn’t feel threatened even though someone was holding a knife against him. Instead, he felt... very cheating.
collapse…
"What is your real purpose? If you don't tell me, I will never lift the curse." Therefore, Benjamin said firmly.
However, as soon as he said this, before the strange young man could reply, the blonde was suddenly offended.
"Miles, this kid is too arrogant, we have to give him some pain." She ordered.
Hearing this, the young man known as Miles smiled and said to Benjamin: "Did you hear that? Your life is now in my hands. Please be a little conscious of being hijacked, otherwise, she will try again. angry."
“…”
When Benjamin saw this, he felt something strange.
Are these two competing
Moreover, it seems... he has no need to be afraid
"Didn't you say that you followed us for the mission?" Thinking like this, he suddenly put on a posture of being like a dead pig and said, "In this case, you definitely don't want me to die. Since I won't die, why should I be afraid of you? If you don't do what I say, I will kill Sydney and then commit suicide."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, then looked at the blond woman who was about to burst into tears, and continued: "What is your purpose? Be honest and explain clearly, otherwise, you will suffer a lot!"
“…”
Even the blonde, who was so angry just now, was looking at Benjamin, dumbfounded.
