After Meng Ran left, Situ Xue gently closed the door. At the same time, he checked the departure of several people in the virtual realm. When they were the only ones left, he said, "Don't be too careful. The news coming from the door is probably Ding Bei." It has nothing to do with going crazy and having touched the black jade bead. It just happened that they needed Ding Beizong to control him. Otherwise, it would be too scary to be able to completely control a person with just one thing, and they don't need to work so hard!"
"That's good. I'm afraid that this black jade bead will cause any trouble. The tragedy of seven million people can't happen again!"
"What does Ding Beicong need to do? He is so weak and his abilities are not very rare. Why does he need to do it?"
Zhang Liang thought secretly: "What will happen if you kill Situ Xue and Han Ruoyu? Weaken the strength of the Five Holy Lands? No, no, the strength of these two people is basically zero among the Five Holy Lands, so it is not important. Kill Ding Beicong? Why do you want to kill him? He, the black jade bead is in his hands. If he kills him, it may fall into the hands of the Five Holy Lands. They will not do this. The black jade bead is not in his hands. As soon as Ding Bei dies, the clues are cut off. This can prevent the black jade bead from falling. In the hands of the Five Holy Lands, or..."
Zhang Liang kept changing identities in his mind, intending to find out the enemy's purpose of controlling Ding Beicong. He thought of a possibility.
"Maybe they want to protect the person who got the black jade bead!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. Situ Xue and others didn't know why Zhang Liang made such a judgment.
Han Ruoyu asked in confusion: "Why, just because Ding Beicong wants to kill us?"
"Think about it, the black jade bead is not in Ding Beicong's hands. If the black jade bead was taken away as he said, and he doesn't know who took it away, what's the point of whether we kill him or whether he kills us? ?”
"If we kill him, we still can't find the Black Jade Pearl, so it's meaningless. If he kills us, there are so many people in the Five Holy Lands who are stronger than me and Han Ruoyu, so it's totally insignificant and meaningless!"
"in this case……"
"He wants us to think that the black jade beads are in Ding Beicong's hands and where he hid the black jade beads. In this way, we will investigate from him, so that the person who really got the black jade beads can do what he wants. Do your thing without being disturbed!”
"Of course, it may be that they are simply misleading us and don't want us to find the black jade beads!"
"Senior brother, you are indeed very smart. You have discovered all this, but even so we still discovered it. The biggest question now is what will Sun Kong do with the black jade bead?"
"That was discovered by chance. If not, just based on what those two people said, we may not be able to conclude that the black jade bead is not in Ding Beicong's hands. We will inevitably have to take some detours!"
Speaking of this, Murong Yuyan's eyes lit up, as if she remembered something, and asked: "By the way, I have something to ask you!"
"What's up?"
"Why did you suddenly ask Meng Ran about the black jade beads in Tianji Pavilion?"
"By the way, senior brother, I'm also curious, how do you know that Meng Ran once obtained the black jade bead?"
"Oh, hey, guess what!"
"Brother, how can you guess this? We have never been to Tianji Pavilion with you, how do we know what happened!"
"Where's Miss Murong?"
Murong Yuyan recalled: "Everything was normal that day. You and I didn't know this before, but after you saw the six treasures, you suddenly asked him this question while talking. I really can't figure it out... "
"That's right, senior brother, don't be too secretive. Did you know some inside information in advance?"
"Ha, I was blinded!"
"What? Blind?"
Situ Xue shook his head and said: "Impossible. How could such an accurate thing happen by such a coincidence? Meng Ran has already obtained it!"
Murong Yuyan guessed something: "Are you deceiving him?"
"good!"
The three people present still didn't understand. Murong Yuyan said: "Even if he is a high-ranking member of the dark organization, even if he is well-informed in the world, and even if he is strong, there are many such people, and there are even more people who want to snatch the treasure. Don't you think so?" Want to cheat? This is definitely not the main reason!"
Seeing that the three of them could not guess, Zhang Liang reminded: "You have all forgotten a very crucial point!"
Murong Yuyan vaguely thought of something, but still couldn't find the key point.
"Did the black jade bead be discovered after that incident, or was it a virtual warrior who happened to pass by and saw it? Who has heard of the rumor of the black jade bead before? The sect has never recorded this bead for so long. No one in the world has seen it. Pass?"
Everyone suddenly realized that Murong Yuyan also thought of that key point, "To be able to make it so lifelike with just one portrait is not just a matter of craftsmanship!"
Situ Xue slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, if the person who made this imitation has never seen or heard someone describe the appearance, it would be impossible to make it so real!"
Zhang Liang: "In this case, it is not surprising that Meng Ran must have seen or obtained black jade beads!"
"Even if it's not him, he is still someone from within the secret organization. As a high-level official in the secret organization, Meng Ran is very likely to have seen it!"
"This is a good way to deceive him!"
"Awesome! Awesome!" Situ Xue praised.
Zhang Liang frowned and said seriously: "But there is a more dangerous problem!"
"what is the problem?"
"The six treasures Xuanwumen Heavenly Palace wants, the other five have all appeared in the world before, but this black jade bead was only discovered recently. Why does Xuanwumen Heavenly Palace want black jade beads? Now Sun Kong has obtained the black jade beads, Is he doing it for the order of the head of the Xuanwu Sect’s Heavenly Palace, or is he simply trying to collect the six treasures?”
"Are you afraid that the Xuanwu Sect Heavenly Palace is doing things for them?"
"Yes, even if not, what Xuanwu Sect Heavenly Palace is doing now may be extremely beneficial to them!"
"What should we do? We can't defeat Xuanwumen Tiangong and Sun Kong, let alone keep an eye on them secretly!"
"Report it, tell the door our thoughts and let them make a decision!"
"The recent activities inside the door are really strange. Why don't you send a person over for such a big matter, and let us handle it with full authority?"
"I heard some news!" Murong Yuyan said.
"what news??"
"I heard that we are dealing with a big matter. We won't come here until this matter is settled!"
"What's the big deal?"
"I don't know. This matter has the highest level of confidentiality. I'm not qualified yet!"
Zhang Liang was surprised: "You can't even know? Master Sikong Ling's beloved disciple is not qualified!"
Situ Xue: "That's really a big deal!"
………………
………………
After Meng Ran and others returned to the dark, Wang Shang couldn't help but said: "How do they know that we have obtained the black jade beads?"
Hai Mingchuan: "Could it be that Yu gave them the news!"
"No, this matter is too big. They have sent people to deal with Yu's affairs a long time ago. At this time, no one will dare to leak the news deliberately. What's more, the people in Yuli are very stable now. If there is any problem, it will be solved as soon as possible. It was discovered!”
"That's weird! Where did they get the news? We made sure there was no one around when we started!"
"Could there be other sources of information in the Five Holy Lands, a treasure similar to the Eye of Heaven?"
"I can't say for sure, but it is possible. The Five Holy Lands have existed for too long. It is not surprising that there is such a thing."
"Perhaps Zhang Liang was just deceiving you at that time?" Wang Shang said with a bad smile.
Meng Ran recalled the situation at that time and said: "If he guessed it, he would indeed ask tentatively given his character, but he once reminded me that this matter is related to the Five Holy Lands. At least he is doing it for my own good. If How could you ask this if you don’t have a certain source of information?”
Hai Mingchuan: "Yes, if it was a casual question, it would not be so serious. He particularly emphasized the seriousness of the problem, indicating that they have more or less evidence or sources of information, otherwise they would not specifically remind you!"
Wang Shang: "But their source of information may not be very clear, or there may be insufficient evidence, so they are testing you and hope to get a clear answer from you!"
"That's probably it!"
"There's another strange thing. Why did they destroy those six imitations?"
Meng Ran also scratched his head and said: "I don't know. These six imitations are already very well made. There are no flaws at all in appearance. They can definitely be fake and look like real ones. Why should they be destroyed?"
"The important thing is that he destroyed it in front of us!"
"It's so confusing, why do we have to do it if we don't have to do it?"
"A person smashes a fake that he worked hard to make. Why? Did he get the real thing? No need for it anymore? Or did the fake play a role?"
Meng Ran said to himself that he really couldn't figure out why Zhang Liang did this. He first asked him to make a replica and then destroyed it in front of him. Such inconsistent behavior was really incomprehensible. Could he be kidding himself?
"First, they can't get the real thing. If there is a problem with Sun Kong, we will get the news immediately. Second, it won't be unnecessary. They will take us to test it after they get it. If it is not needed, there will be no need at all. Why do we need to imitate it? Thirdly, maybe this is the only reasonable explanation!"
"Are these fakes working?"
"What's the use? They just took a look. These are imitations and have no ability at all. What use can they play?"
Wang Shang boldly thought of a possibility, "Maybe they just want to take a look!"
Meng Ran agreed: "Yes, what you said is very possible. They want black jade beads, but they don't know what they are. Let us make a few imitations so that we can better find the real ones!"
"That's what makes it a little more reasonable!"
"Then what should we do about this matter? Do we need to inform them?"
Hai Mingchuan mentioned a more realistic problem.
Meng Ran lowered his head and said: "Let me think about it, well, someone asked us to imitate six treasures and tell them. As for who they are, I don't know or know them. Don't tell them that the Five Holy Lands are looking for black jade beads, and don't tell them either. , we have already leaked the fact that the black jade bead is in Sun Kong’s hands to the Five Holy Lands.”
"Will...will this affect their plan?" Wang Shang asked worriedly.
"Maybe, maybe not, but the benefits they give will not be more important than our lives. Based on my understanding of Zhang Liang, this matter is very important. If it ruins the affairs of the Five Holy Lands, it will really... ………”
"That's right, it's better not to offend the Five Holy Lands!"
"That's all!"
Some people died, but not completely...
