MTL - Top Horror Novelist-Chapter 129 (two)
.
Loyal, reliable, smart, and powerful... The way Chu Yueli looked at Chi Yiyin, it didn't look like he was looking at a companion or a guide, but more like a believer worshiping a god.
Red Bird can be sure that even if tens of millions of players in the entire game field are against Chi Yiyin, Chu Yueli will unswervingly accompany Chi Yiyin, and live and die with him.
So he is at ease.
As a partner, lack of ability is secondary. The most important thing is that you must never betray, and there must be no second white and blue.
But Red Bird's sense of security was broken by Skye's inadvertent reminder.
Like a thief, he raised his eyes to look at Chi Yiyin from time to time, observing secretly, trying to find more clues.
If this mysterious person really becomes Chi Yiyin's partner...
Ability is definitely no problem, but loyalty is definitely another big problem.
The red bird didn't dare to think, if this one day was unhappy and wanted to kill someone, the knife from behind would be impossible to guard against, and everyone around Chi Yiyin would suffer.
Skye was still apologizing for his unfounded speculation, but Red Bird's thoughts had already gone elsewhere.
He wanted to find some time to talk to Chi Yiyin about it.
After all, it is clear to the bystanders that it is difficult for Chi Yiyin to see the overall situation as a party involved. Even though he is very clear that his choice is very important, it may be difficult to make an accurate judgment when it comes to himself.
That's when outside opinions matter...Gah!
Red Bird's thinking stopped abruptly, and his mind went blank.
Li Sijun noticed what the red bird was thinking, and glanced at him coldly.
That was a silent warning.
—Don't, speak ill of me in front of my lovely believers.
And Chi Yiyin also turned his head casually, and glanced at the red bird.
That meant that he found out that Red Bird had something to say, and let Red Bird find the opportunity to explain it to him.
Red Bird: ...My red is the red of the RED demon, not the red of a mature bird that was pinched from two sides and roasted on the fire.
He stroked his hair and thought he might be the first bald bird.
Fortunately, the appearance of Uncle Hank rescued the Red Bird in time, which made him heave a sigh of relief, and hurriedly hid to the side and sat down obediently.
The burly man next to him: "?"
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
The big man was shirtless, with hideous scars all over his body, and his almost disfigured face was full of marks that had not been properly treated after being injured. The winding roads looked like big flesh-pink bugs, so ugly and ferocious that they could scare a child into tears. .
But what Red Bird thought was—how scary could it be? Is it more terrifying than those two flanking attacks?
This move instead aroused the big man's goodwill towards Red Bird, and gradually eased his hostility.
After all, who wants to be seen as a monster?
Red Bird also struck while the iron was hot, chatted with the big man, and quietly started his own intelligence collection work, his old job made him feel at ease.
At least it's much safer than standing next to those two people!
And the burly man who was intimidated by Li Sijun before came out following an uncle wearing a jacket and dressed as a captain.
Uncle Hank's skin is dark brown, and the wind and sun have left heavy marks on his body all year round, but after seeing Chi Yiyin, he gave him a noble etiquette, and then invited him Take a seat by the door.
After returning the gift, Chi Yiyin also introduced herself with a smile, explaining her purpose of coming without being humble or overbearing.
"How can I trust you?"
Uncle Hank's voice was deep and low. Although he was polite, everyone could tell that he was not someone to be trifled with. His eyes, which hid too many stories, stared at Chi Yiyin like an eagle, shining brightly.
It's like when Chi Yiyin saw Victor for the first time in the High Tower Prison.
It was precisely because of Victor's bright and firm eyes that Chi Yiyin made the decision to release the prisoner.
"If you want the truth, all I can say is that you have no reason to believe me."
Chi Yiyin replied sincerely.
In an instant, several pairs of eyes around looked over, and the place near the door became quiet, and those people were ready to explode.
Red Bird saw the big man next to him pull out the knife from under the table, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He looked anxiously at Chi Yiyin, not knowing what he was going to do.
But those people were afraid of Li Sijun's existence, so they didn't act rashly.
Uncle Hanke was also full of astonishment, he didn't expect Chi Yiyin to give such an answer.
He thought about flattering him, trying hard to prove himself, and swearing, but he didn't expect that the other party would tell him directly that there was no need for trust.
"Because Victor and you, as well as the cause everyone wants to accomplish, can't trust outsiders at all, can they?"
Chi Yiyin smiled and dropped a bomb, and said: "Even death is better than leaking information and affecting your career. So these years, Victor has worked hard in the high tower prison without saying a word, and you Never thought of saving him, just thought he was sacrificed. Am I right, Uncle Hank."
Uncle Hanke's eyes went from initial astonishment to anger, thinking that someone had betrayed him, to unbelievable surprise and emotion, and finally, in Chi Yiyin's words, it turned into an emotional silence.
He looked at Chi Yiyin fixedly, and then asked, "How much do you know? How much did Victor tell you?"
Chi Yiyin shook her head slowly, and said, "Victor didn't say it. The reason why I know is because Victor and I are companions with the same ambitions."
"You? Companion?"
Someone next to him screamed in surprise, as if he had heard an impossible joke.
Uncle Hank glanced over, without getting angry, the man immediately covered his mouth apologetically.
Chi Yiyin didn't rush to explain, but smiled and waited for everyone around him to digest the information before throwing out his cards.
"Later you will hear the sound of the assembly of the sheriff. There will be guards searching the streets and alleys from house to house, and the whole Tonga City will be in chaos. Outside this tavern, the **** storm is about to begin. No matter what you plan to Well, do you want to or not.”
"Things that have already started will not be stopped halfway. However, this is also the storm you have been looking forward to, and it will be your chance to take back the city—only this one time, chance."
Some people didn't understand what Chi Yiyin was talking about, and their faces were full of confusion.
The burly men around looked at each other and shook their heads in bewilderment.
But there were also people who put down their wine glasses, slowly turned serious, and looked at Chi Yiyin.
Uncle Hank vaguely realized something, his eyes were full of disbelief: "You..."
But before he could finish his sentence, there was really loud and noisy voices from the sheriffs outside the tavern.
They ran across the street with rapid panic in their voices.
An officer shouted orders to search for fugitives along the river, and no one should be allowed to escape.
The big man guarding the door reacted quickly, and immediately closed the door to isolate the tavern from the outside.
Uncle Hanke was stunned for a long time, then slowly turned his gaze from the door to Chi Yiyin, moved his mouth with a complicated expression, and wanted to say something.
Someone next to him slammed his fist on the table first, picked up the bottle and rushed towards Chi Yiyin: "He was definitely sent by those nobles! Otherwise, how would he know what the magistrate would do? In the sky, even the rich and powerful can't talk to them."
"Let me kill him!"
Chi Yiyin nodded with a smile, her eyes calm.
"The reason why I know is not that I am a nobleman. It's because I hate the dignitaries of Tangjia City."
He slowly stood up straight, raised his chin, and said, "You will hear more news from me, just like the oppressed who surround the prophet to seek the kingdom of God."
"You will hear that the Tower Prison was destroyed in an instant, the tower and the river were bathed in blood, the gargoyles guarding the city were turned into pieces, the prison was empty, and all the prisoners disappeared in an instant. What the **** happened in the tower."
"But why would I know?"
Chi Yiyin smiled, her azure blue eyes were as bright as the vast sky, which could accommodate all life.
"Because the one who smashed the chain and opened the tower."
"it is me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded and looked up at Chi Yiyin in shock.
The silence seemed to be contagious, spreading out from Chi Yiyin as the center, one after another, everyone became quiet.
Except for Jingcha, who was drunk and stupid, everyone was looking at Chi Yiyin, who was shocked like a sculpture.
"You ask me, why did I know Victor who was long thought to be dead, why did I know about your career, and why did I become Victor's companion?"
Chi Yiyin smiled and looked down at Uncle Hank.
He said word by word: "Because I have the same career as all of you."
"What you hate is what I hate, and what you hate is what I hate."
"only."
Chi Yiyin bowed slightly and saluted: "I'm more impulsive than you, and I can't bear the bad air in Tangjia City—it will suffocate me."
Just like the victims who suffocated to death in the serial murder case.
Did they really die at the hands of a specific person? Why, didn't the city kill them?
"Now, Uncle Hank—and your companions."
Chi Yiyin smiled and asked, "Did I prove myself?"
"It's about determination, career, and action."
The voice fell, and there was no sound in the tavern.
All that could be heard was the noisy running, shouting and beating from the street outside.
The sheriffs were furious, and all the people who accidentally passed by on the street became their punching bags, wailing under the waving sticks.
But there was only begging and crying, but no fighting back.
Those cries were like hammers, hitting the hearts of everyone in the tavern, reminding them of every cry they heard in the past, every dead body.
The way they looked at Chi Yiyin began to change, from hostility and guard at first to respect and admiration now.
The first applauded lightly.
Then the second, the third...
Everyone looked at Chi Yiyin as if they were looking at a **** who descended from the sky.
Dawn breaks.
A new sun has risen and new gods have arisen.
Uncle Hanke stood up, solemnly thanked Chi Yiyin, and apologized.
"Thank you for everything you have done for the High Tower Prison. Those who were wrongly imprisoned can finally be rescued. And Victor..."
Uncle Hank said seriously: "You are right, you are indeed our companion and the forerunner."
Chi Yiyin smiled and shook her head: "When I opened the prison door for Victor, it was not for this, but for the whole Tangjia City—your Tangjia City is also my Tangjia City."
"Like I said, I'm just here waiting for Victor."
Chi Yiyin smiled and blinked at Uncle Hank, and with a few words, the atmosphere that was too serious just now was eased.
"As a watchmaker, he's always on time, isn't he?"
"I hope you don't have pigeons congregating here."
The people in the tavern were taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing. The atmosphere became lively again, and it was still the same coachman's tavern with lively laughter.
It's just different from Chi Yiyin's secret guard when he first entered the door.
When everyone here looked at Chi Yiyin, it was as if they were looking at their family members and close friends.
Even gods and guides.
[Congratulations to the survivor Chi Yiyin, you have obtained the achievement "Uncle Hank's Favor". "The Tavern's Approval". With this achievement, you have successfully unlocked the alley ban. In Tangjia City, you can enter any buildings and alleys that belong to people, and the gaps have been merged. 】
[The overall favorability value of the current dungeon is -100/100, you have successfully triggered the hidden plot "Tower Crash". Please note that the current dungeon adopts the death mode, and the specific death rules need to be explored by yourself. 】
【I wish you all the best. 】
The prompt from the system made Chi Yiyin's eyes sink. He didn't laugh and celebrate with the people in the tavern. Even at the moment when he should be most joyful, he remained vigilant and rational.
The acknowledgment from the system confirmed Chi Yiyin's guess.
It's just that the only thing he doesn't know is the death mode... This unprecedented A-level dungeon, every step is unknown.
At this time, a person hurriedly opened a crack in the door, and then rushed in in a flash.
The big gatekeeper was taken aback, and was about to warn and fight back, but after seeing the man clearly, he shouted: "Victor! You are really still alive!"
Hearing the sound, Chi Yiyin turned around with a smile, and raised her hand to greet those who rushed in: "Victor, it seems that I am one step ahead of you."
