Self-deception is like a drug. After the short-term effect, it is followed by endless emptiness and pain.
After Qiu Yu and others left, the igniter remained in a dazed posture. No matter what the gray-skinned man said, there was no response, which greatly reduced the effect of the gray-skinned man's self-deception. It only lasted a few minutes before he was beaten back. into the cruel reality.
After a short period of thinking, the gray-skinned man felt that it was useless to stay here any longer. The worst he could do was to die anyway. If he had to wait for death, it would be better to find a place where normal people could discuss things.
"alright."
Just after the gray-skinned man had walked seven or eight meters, the sound of the igniter exhaling foul air suddenly came from behind him, so he subconsciously turned around and asked, "What's better?"
"Hmph, of course our lives were saved temporarily." The igniter looked at the gray-skinned man who looked back stiffly with a smile, "You messed up things a lot, but we finally survived."
"What on earth are you talking about?" The gray-skinned man looked at the igniter repeatedly to determine whether he had entered the state of escaping reality that he just had. A few seconds later, before he could confirm the other party's mental state, he first thought of an answer related to saving his life, "Do you know of an organization that can provide us with strong protection like Xingye? By the way, there are Star Knights and Creation..."
"Can't you think normally when something happens? As a core member, you are too young." The Igniter interrupted disdainfully.
Finding a powerful guardian who can protect them is what the gray-skinned people long for most in the current crisis, so when they hear the Igniter mention surviving, regardless of whether the situation is right or not, they first I shouted out the answer that best fit "survive" that I could think of.
"So, you lied to them when you said you couldn't disconnect from the world of laws? Let me just say, you looked like you were broken just now, but now you can be so calm..."
This is another answer that the gray-skinned man came up with after a little thought. Rather than relying on others for protection, he prefers the option of leaving this place of right and wrong as a last resort. But what he didn't like was that this conjecture was only interrupted halfway by the igniter's wave.
"For those people, do you think you can deceive them by lying?"
"Then you said surviving is..."
"Of course they didn't kill them." Igniter said fearfully, "I have met many masters, and most of them rely on the skillful summoning and use of equipment to barely be called masters. Without those equipment, they would be Nothing, so once a master encounters a crisis, he will instinctively summon equipment first rather than taking advantage of the opportunity. And only a true master will regard taking advantage of the opportunity as more important than taking out equipment. This is the difference between having confidence in oneself and needing to borrow confidence, and it is an insurmountable barrier before one's own strength is repeatedly verified."
"We are two people who instinctively reach for weapons. Although our attention was diverted for less than half a second, we have already seen the result, right? The other party used the half second saved to completely defeat us. And this half second was not preparation. After a long time, I decided to start and then move my hands. Instead, I thought about the attack method, judged our numbers and strength, and finally took action, all in one go. It was like treating the battle as an instinctive reaction to stomping to death after seeing a bug. "
"And the bear man at the back, did you meet his eyes when he first saw us? I don't know if you can understand the meaning of his eyes. Anyway, I know very well that it is because of enough experience. Support, an interpretive gaze that can judge whether the other party is worthy of your attention with just one glance. And the two of us..." The igniter paused and smiled bitterly, "The two of us were completely seen through almost instantly, it was like a gaze. Directly penetrated both of our bodies... Do you understand what I'm saying? I mean, to him, the two of us are as important as transparent air."
"I still don't understand, what does this have to do with us surviving..."
The gray-skinned man was interrupted by the fire starter for the third time.
"The two people in front are still masters that I can see through, but the third person... after meeting the bear man's eyes, I decided that he was the kind of arrogant master who saw someone who was better than me. People are also vigilant observers. But the fact is that when he looks at the little person who is only a few centimeters in size, what is reflected in his eyes is looking up and fearful, as if he is the smaller one. "
The gray-skinned man didn't know why the igniter was getting further and further away, but since he was going to say this, he had to cooperate a little, "This kind of thing is not uncommon in the world of laws, and masters are also hired by those young masters to be bodyguards at high prices. .”
"The eldest young master? Maybe." The igniter looked at the communicator in his hand in a daze, "But even the eldest young master is definitely the kind of eldest young master with superhuman strength. How many times have you seen someone who can do it without using any props? The young master who can fly in the sky more easily and naturally than the best bird body? How many young masters have you seen who obviously didn’t say any threatening words, but can suppress us with just words? And him Those unheard of powerful abilities... Even if he is said to be a member of the creation gods, absolutely no one would doubt it."
Looking at the thoughtful expression of the gray-skinned man, the Igniter took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Starry Night, Twilight Brigade, Creation Gods, Starry Sky Knights. These top masters have all come here, and there are some others. It’s not surprising that there are top experts, but the problem is, it depends on where they came from. This place has no capital to attract top experts from the beginning, so the four forces will intervene in this form, most likely If you hear something, you will be moved by the wind, and other masters who can follow can naturally only come for the same reason."
"Although the four major forces are strong, they are undercover. Judging from the actions of the mysterious organization that established this city, the situation seems to be completely under their control. As for the few people just now, we have never heard of them overtly or covertly, but they are And they entered here without knowing anything. If they are not doing some secret operation, what else could it be?"
"If you act normal when you meet us, that is the necessary disguise for covert operations. But what is the result? They did their best to take us down as soon as they came up, and they even said many shocking things in front of us. Things. On the one hand, it requires secret operations, but on the other hand, it allows us to know so many things. This is not obvious..."
"It's clear that after we are tricked out, we will be killed so that the operation can continue secretly!" Only now did the gray-skinned man realize that he had indeed saved his life, and he also understood how he had desperately behaved with those people. How could the igniter have so much courage to forcefully retreat when they were "friendly"? It turned out that he had already weighed the pros and cons.
"Fortunately, not only are we alive now, but we can also make another great contribution." As he spoke, the igniter turned on the communicator.
On the other side of the screen was an elegant young man with a bun on his head and dressed in Hanfu. Although he looks harmless on the outside, the gray-skinned man is quite aware of his terror. Needless to say, to be able to hold an official position in the core group that is fully developed but has the most combat effectiveness, it must be achieved with fists, and the person on the screen is the largest among the hundreds of people in the core group. official.
"I'm very busy now. I hope you didn't come to me to complain." The young man in Hanfu studied something outside the screen without raising his head.
"I know you are busy, so I have no intention of looking for you. Please connect me to the highest levels of the organizations who claim to be political businessmen."
The words of the igniter made the young man in Hanfu and the gray-skinned man stunned at the same time, and then they carefully searched his face for special information with the same incredible eyes.
In the army, soldiers have to report to the generals level by level if they want to speak to the generals. In the company, the voices of employees can only be uploaded level by level. No matter how enlightened the organization is, this is an essential procedure. In addition to the fact that the superior must have the posture of the superior, it is also because people only have so much time and energy, and no matter how diligent a person is, he cannot receive thousands of people. Even if one of these thousands of people makes a shocking discovery and wants to interview someone higher up, they have to verify whether the discovery has sufficient qualifications.
Like the igniter, who directly proposed to talk to the top person in charge of the organization, he was either confident that what he had in hand was shocking enough, or he was an idiot who was determined to cause trouble. And based on the impolite tone in which he just spoke to his immediate boss, it is still more likely to be associated with the latter.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll see if I can get in touch."
When the gray-skinned people didn't know where to start blaming the igniter, the young man in Hanfu calmly accepted the request of the igniter.
"What on earth are you doing?" The gray-skinned man growled nervously while the communicator showed that it was being transferred.
"Who would use polite words on a hot battlefield?" The person who started the fire was not joking at all.
"Okay." The gray-skinned man pressed his eyes against the communicator, fearing that his words would be transmitted due to the sudden connection. "Then what do you want to tell the senior management? Is it about those people just now? Didn't you say they were Are you here to make a secret plan? If their affairs are known to the organization, and you can tell with your butt that it was us who told the secret, aren't you afraid that we will be killed by them when you turn around?"
"What are you afraid of? That young master is smarter than the two of us put together. What we will do is all in his calculations. If he was really afraid of us snitching, he would have killed us long ago. Since he didn't kill us, he Without giving any warning, it shows that he hopes that we will report their information to the organization. Although I don’t know what the intention is, I am sure that if we don’t report their information to the organization, the next time we meet Really will be killed.”
The gray-skinned man stared blankly at the communicating communicator for a long time, and said in a daze, "Then why are you talking to me so much? Aren't you afraid of delaying the time to report their news to the superiors?"
The communication was not connected for a long time, but the igniter was not anxious at all, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid of this, but I'm even more afraid that the report is coming soon, and the top management will ask us to take on the task of tracking or contacting them. We are always two little ants. Dancing with elephants, relying solely on the elephants’ interest cannot guarantee that we will survive forever. Now that they are far away, whether it is tracking or contact tasks, we can naturally hand them over to others.”
The gray-skinned man felt his scalp numb. Compared with this senior, he was still far behind.
"Ants must have the survival wisdom of ants, we..."
The igniter suddenly stopped communicating with the gray-skinned man, his expression became calm and humble, and with the survival wisdom of an ant, he made a detailed report on the several people who appeared on the communication screen.
