"Host, something seems to have happened to the intelligence market you asked me to keep an eye on."
Li Yi was eating beef noodles in the morning market. He originally just wanted to satisfy his hunger, but he didn't expect that the snacks in Tianwang City's morning market had a special taste.
In just a few minutes, this was the third bowl of beef noodles he had eaten.
"Oh? What happened?"
After hearing the system's report, Li Yi slowly put down the empty bowl, gently put down the money in the boss's surprised eyes, and left.
On his way to the intelligence bazaar, the system told him the information he had just collected.
This made Li Yi instantly confirm one thing.
"It seems that it should be him. Can you find out that person's route of action?"
After a while, the system responded.
"I found it. This person should have come back from outside the city. After entering the city, he went directly to the intelligence bazaar. It was obvious that he came here for information."
"Can you find out what he asked?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. I heard the whole bar was destroyed."
"Kill and silence?"
"It should be."
"Whoever has the confidence to do such a thing must have two skills. Not to mention his strength, at least he knows the details of this King's City very clearly. We are probably the only ones who have such ability and are not afraid of revenge. A city lord."
Li Yi had a slight smile on his face, and his mood showed no fluctuations.
In fact, after hearing this information, he had already guessed that the person who bought the information and then silenced him would only be Tao Ran.
He was the only one who would rush to find out the information, but then he would kill someone to silence him for fear that the information would be sold again.
He has this motive.
But there was one thing Li Yi didn't understand.
Since he could get out of the city, why didn't he just leave and then come back?
When he informed the system of his doubts, the system gave its own answer.
If it were just money, with Tao Ran's ability, he could indeed escape smoothly with the help of the tunnel he had dug in advance.
But if it were any other material, it would probably be difficult.
"What do you think other supplies... could be?"
The system quickly gave him an answer that seemed very likely.
I see!
"I understand. It seems that I will inevitably have to deal with this old friend next time."
Li Yi's expression remained unchanged. At this time, he had arrived at the intelligence market and looked at the busy rescuers in the distance. The robots obviously would not care about this kind of thing. The ones who died were humans. They wished that humans would die more. , naturally wouldn't care about this kind of thing.
But Li Yi had new ideas when he saw this scene.
"Do you think he thought I was still there?"
"That's for sure. According to the intelligence, Tong Sou Wu Qi in the intelligence bar will sell it for money."
"Does that mean he got complete information?"
"Yes."
"Hmm... I didn't expect that I would be exposed so soon, but he didn't dare to show up, otherwise he would die faster than me. The robot army will not let him go. What do you think he will do?"
"Find a way to expose the host in advance, but he doesn't have the host's information, which is difficult for him to do."
Li Yi smiled.
"But not only does he have a purpose, he should also guess my purpose. And according to what you said, I guess he wants to transport those things, which is ultimately related to my plan, so I guess not only will he not try to let If I am exposed, I will seek cooperation instead.”
"cooperate?"
"Yes, cooperation."
While speaking, Li Yi had already walked out of the gate of the intelligence market, stopped at the bulletin board, browsed for a while, and tore off a notice.
It was a missing person notice looking for a missing child. Because of the war, such missing person notices were posted everywhere. There was nothing special about it.
"Hey, did you see it? Isn't it coming?"
...
On this day, after getting the ordinary missing person notice, Li Yi did nothing but eat and drink. Soon the day passed and night fell.
In the evening, when Li Yi once again drank a large bowl of beef noodle soup and left under the urging of his boss, he once again came to the entrance of the water prison of Tianwang City.
But this time, he didn't choose any disguise and just walked over like that.
Although this is the entrance to the water prison, after taking control of the city, the robots did not use this place as a defense focus.
Originally, the focus of robots was different from that of humans. Perhaps in their view, whether it was a water prison or an ordinary house, it was just a place to house humans.
Li Yi knew this a long time ago. This was the reason why he was able to successfully rescue the high-level officials of the former Tianwang City as soon as he sneaked into the city.
"I didn't expect you to actually come."
Looking at the deserted street, Li Yi did not try to find the source of the sound. He had already concluded that the other party was unlikely to show up.
At least not until we learn his true strength.
"Why don't you dare? On the contrary, since you invited me here, you won't dare to show up, right?"
The other party laughed.
"You don't need to provoke me. You should understand that it won't work. Before I know your true strength, not showing up is a kind of protection."
Li Yi laughed.
"How do you know that I can't find your hiding place?"
"You don't think that the safe route I gave you was just given casually, do you?"
The other party suddenly fell silent, as if he was stopped by the question. After a while, he seemed not to want to waste time, and his tone of voice became much more serious.
"There is no need for us to test each other. After all, we have already cooperated once. Since you are here, I think we can still talk about cooperation."
"Tell me about it."
This time, Tao Ran didn't hesitate and directly explained his purpose.
"I think you are interested in the secrets under the City Lord's Mansion. I happen to have channels here, but you have to do me a favor first."
"What's the deal?"
"Help me get out of here."
"As far as I know, it should be very easy for you, Lord Tao, to leave, right?"
The other party sneered.
"It doesn't make sense for you to say that. Since you can come, you must have been to the intelligence bazaar. With your intelligence, you can't think of the reason why I did this, right?"
Li Yi laughed and did not answer directly.
"I heard that your supplies are very valuable. Exactly how valuable they are...I'm a little curious."
When the other party heard his words, his tone suddenly became cold.
"This is not something you should inquire about. I advise you to take care of yourself."
"You're scaring me?"
This time it was Li Yi's turn to sneer.
"It seems that you don't know who I am. Do you think an ordinary person would take advantage of those things under the City Lord's Mansion?"
Unexpectedly, after he said this, the other party was silent for a long time, and then his tone became much softer.
"Do you know what's down there?"
"What do you think?"
"To be honest, I don't know, and I don't want to know. I just heard that there are real secrets in this world. These things are beyond the reach of a little fanatic like me. I can't afford it."
"It's good that you know this. Since you said you have channels, leave it to me. Be honest. Maybe I can cover for you. Otherwise, if we break up, I don't care, but you just I can only cleanse myself and leave the house.”
After a long time, there was no sound. Li Yi even thought that this guy had gone away.
Fortunately, Tao Ran still responded. It seemed that he was indeed not sure about taking away the materials he had collected.
"Okay, tomorrow, it will still be the intelligence market bulletin board, and I will give you information."
"How can I contact you?"
"No need, just take action and I will know."
Li Yi knew what he was planning.
Obviously, he didn't think that he could sneak into the city lord's mansion without telling the robot army.
"Okay, then just wait."
After the two people discussed it, there was no more movement. Li Yi looked at the deep entrance of the water prison not far away, as if thinking about something.
"Are you really sure he will give you information?"
Li Yi smiled.
"Of course not. I don't think he can only rely on me. You have underestimated the energy of a former city lord."
"And you don't think that I'm taking advantage of this, right?"
"Otherwise? You didn't make any promises to him."
"Haha, if you want to be more humane, don't easily believe in the so-called promises of humans."
"That will only make you stupid and get deceived."
"Being cheated?"
"Of course, all human promises have preconditions. He can't figure out my strength, so naturally he won't give any benefits easily. It is precisely because of this that he wants to use so-called intelligence to test me."
"so?"
"So, I will do as he wishes!"
