Siren Blade

Chapter 174 Candid
Ever since she accidentally hugged me, Zhu An has been silent, and she always pays attention to keeping a distance from me when she moves, as if she is afraid that she will lose her composure again.Being in close contact with my enemy must have made her feel uncomfortable, but it would be difficult to communicate if this sense of distance was maintained.Fortunately, when we found the meeting place, she seemed to have sorted out her mood, and re-established communication with me in a working tone without any emotional color.

She first used the detection spell on the meeting place from a distance.Speaking of using spells, she couldn't see any "sound and light effects", but felt an extremely hidden spiritual wave spreading from her body.After it was over, her face tightened, and she said to me: "There are strange fluctuations coming from there, like those undead victims, the number is about three. And, there is also a demon warlock there. "

In all likelihood, Demon Warlock is a loser. As for the other three undead...

I gather my mind for the time being, and focus on other things first, "Is it possible that Bite Blood is lurking there?"

"Impossible. Although it is mentioned in the data that she has a very strong lurking ability, since she is a super master level warlock, she can't deceive my investigation with such a huge power." Zhu An said firmly, and then Ask, "Are you really going to work with that demon warlock?"

I thought for a while, "Is there a way you can use tracking to find the missionary?"

"I can't do it." She shook her head, "The missionary's lurking ability is also very strong. It's not like there are no law enforcement warlocks whose tracking ability is no less than mine. You can't track him down."

"Then, we can only meet with the loser first." I said.

Having said that, I may have somewhat overestimated my tolerance.

We entered the shop where we met.The shop, despite its sign, was vacant, with most of its contents removed, not even a chair or stool.Inside, there was a man sitting on the ground without hesitation. He exuded evil spiritual fluctuations. It was not surprising to see us walking in, but he showed a contrived welcome expression.Obviously, he is the loser of the Demon Warlock.

"Are you the security bureau warlock who made an appointment to meet me?" He said with a smile.

"Yes, we are." While speaking, I didn't stop moving, but strode to the back room and opened the door.

In fact, I know very well that since there are three undead people here, it is likely that the loser caught the nearby passers-by before we arrived and "did something" to them.I thought I was mentally prepared for it, but when I saw the scene inside, I still had uncontrollable boiling emotions.There were a lot of chopped up flesh and blood in the house. Judging from the number and size of the body remains and the clothes fragments on the ground, it was a family of three.All flesh and blood twitched in pain, as if silently wailing.

Once they become like this, there is no way to recover, and I can only set them free.But before that, I should probably kill the loser first.

The question is, should I really kill this hard-earned informant?
While I was still trying to think calmly amidst the boiling emotions, Zhu An was one step faster.She raised her hand without hesitation, and the red long knife appeared in her hand out of thin air.Then, she turned around excitedly, and slashed at Shuzuo.

Shu Zuo didn't dare to fight back at all, he just quickly protected his head and at the same time defended his whole body with spiritual power.Zhu An's meager strength was originally not enough to penetrate this layer of defense, but her red long knife was so inconceivably sharp that it tore apart this layer of defense, and the successive slashes split Shu Zuo's skin to pieces. Vague.

Seeing this scene, I regained my composure a little.However, is Zhu An really that angry?Or did she just think she should be angry at this moment?Her performance is more like acting, but it's not for me and the loser, but for herself.

"Are you angry at hitting me? Don't forget, you guys still have to rely on me!" The voice of the loser was painful and confident, and he seemed to be relying on the unique sensitivity of demon warlocks to killing intent. He insisted that Zhu An would not really kill himself.

"You—" Zhu An stopped slashing and stared at him.

But do we really need to work with him?If I just want the clues he has as an informant, then I just kill him and get his memory, the result will be the same, right?
I seriously turned the thought of killing him.

Shu Zuo looked at me suddenly, his face froze as if he was being strangled by the throat.

However, I put aside the idea of ​​killing him immediately.His usefulness as an informant is not limited to intelligence, and more importantly, like other demon warlocks, he probably doesn't know the whereabouts of the missionaries and red gloves.Let's see what he has to say next.

The later the time to deal with the missionaries and red gloves, the more victims of "pollution" in Puqing City, we must use all the conditions we can take advantage of, even a demon warlock like Los Zuo must take advantage of it.I heard that in order to better manage crimes in the secular society, law enforcement officers sometimes develop informants in gray areas, or even in black areas. Maybe it is the same reason.It’s just that you know what you know, and it’s still a challenge to truly accept this.

Did Zhu An deliberately preempt me from attacking the loser because he wanted to prevent me from being angry and attacking?Probably not, she must think that I am a sincerely evil scum who is no different from a demon warlock.

I first summoned the Siren Blade to free the undead in the back room, and then returned to the loser.

"It's the first time we meet, I'm Ren Sai, a law enforcement warlock." I didn't know what to start with, so I had to use a sentence that was inevitably a bit blunt in this situation.

"Devil Li Duo..." He must have heard of me somewhere before, but compared to my own face, weapons are easier to recognize. He looked at my weapons that killed undead, and his face suddenly changed.

"Looks like I don't need to introduce myself anymore." I said, "You captured and killed those undead?"

"Are you trying to condemn me morally? What can I do? I also have to obey orders. If I don't do the same as other demon warlocks, I will be killed by the people around me before I see you It's gone. Isn't there a saying called 'emergency avoidance'? I'm doing this to save my own life, so what's wrong?" He asked like a cannonball.

"Self-preservation? Those undead people have been mutilated by you into such a disastrous situation. I think you are enjoying it." I said.

"How do you prove and convict me? Just rely on your words and feelings?" He said, "I'm not afraid of you, I know, you are not as scary as the rumors in the past, you are just a brainwashed by monsters It’s just an unlucky ghost. I heard that you recently joined some legal camp in the Security Bureau and became a hero who saved people? I’m not afraid of a good person like you.”

It seems that my reputation is really improving, and a good reputation has its side effects.

"Let's get down to business first." Zhu An said suddenly, "Why did you become this informant? According to the information, you want to join the Security Bureau. What is your motive?"

"Hmph... nothing special, I just want to be in the winner's camp." Loser said naturally.

"Do you think missionaries will fail?" Zhu An asked.

"I don't know if the missionaries will fail this time, but the eve will definitely fail in the end." Shu Zuo expressed his opinion, "Eve is indeed the most powerful demon warlock organization in this country, but even so How. No matter how impressive the gang of criminals are, they are still gangs of criminals. They can gain a foothold in the dark even if they hide well. They use darkness and shadows to make themselves look unfathomable. Instantly became a joke."

"Isn't this the case now? The evangelical forces all over the country are being rapidly wiped out by the Security Bureau. Organizations that looked so powerful in the past are actually bursting like bubbles." He went on to say, "This secret The winner of the world war is destined to be the Security Bureau, and I don't want to go into the ground with the big coffin the night before."

"I see..." I said, "However, I have to remind you in advance that you are a demon warlock. Even if you really join the Security Bureau, you can only do evil things that are restricted everywhere, and you don't even control your wealth and life." Prisoners'."

"I know very well that it's nothing more than becoming a domestic dog of the Security Bureau. Of course, the treatment is definitely not as good as that of you 'root Zhengmiaohong', but how many people want to be a dog and still can't be a dog." He said disapprovingly .

I kind of wondered if he was secretly mocking me, because I'm not exactly a law-enforcing warlock with "genuine red roots".

"So, do you know where the missionary is now?" I asked.

If he said that he knew, I might really not be able to help but kill him and read his memory directly.

And disappointingly, he shook his head.

"I don't know," he said, "but I know how to get you to him, and..."

He paused slightly, and continued, "I know what the purpose of the missionaries is in this city."

"Is what you said true?" I asked, "Is that secret known to all of you?"

From the memories of those demon warlocks, I have learned that almost all of the missionary's subordinates don't know what he wants to do, and they just follow orders.But I don't intend to reveal that I have the ability to read memories, so I pretended to be ignorant.

"Not everyone. Except for the missionary himself, the only people who know are Red Gloves and me." Shuzuo said.

"Who the hell are you?" Zhu An asked suspiciously, "And... who is the red glove?"

I haven't explained the origin of the red gloves to her yet, and this is an opportunity.Although I don't know why Suzuo was able to know the missionary's secret like a red glove, but through Shusaku's mouth, Zhuan can learn the information she should know, and I can continue to conceal my ability to read memory conveniently .

But thinking of this, I suddenly changed my mind.

"Wait a minute." I stopped the operation first, and then said to Zhu An, "I have something to talk to you alone."

Zhu An showed a look of surprise, and then walked out of the store with me, while Shu Zuo was left in the store.Zhu An seemed to see that it was inconvenient for me to let the loser hear, so she cast a spell on the air.I felt that there was an invisible barrier sealing me and her surroundings. This seemed to be an anti-exploration spell, which could isolate the inside and outside of the barrier, so that people outside could not hear the voices of the people inside.For a warlock like her who is proficient in reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance, this kind of spells can be regarded as basic skills.

And what I want to say to her is very simple, that is to explain to her my memory reading ability.

Since it is to act together, it is the proper meaning to explain your own strengths and weaknesses.I used to avoid exchanging important information with her intentionally or unintentionally because I felt that I should not expose my ability to read memories. It is selfish and disgraceful.

It is true that if she exposes my memory reading ability, it will inevitably cause huge obstacles to my many actions in the future.Rather, it would be odd not to, given her extreme resentment towards me.But what she does is her business, what I do is mine.Even if she did that, it was the result of the bitter fruit planted by me in the past, and eating the bitter fruit myself is the retribution I deserve.

More importantly, I don't want to cheat in front of her by pretending to be ignorant.

After listening to me, it took her a while to speak, her tone was mixed with strong suspicion and entanglement, and she asked with a gloomy face: "Since you can get the memory of the person you killed, then is it true that my husband's Memory also..."

"No, I only got this ability last year." I shook my head.

Hearing this, she touched the bracelet on her wrist, closed her eyes as if unable to let go, and then looked at me again, "Your ability is not something you can just tell me, why should you tell me?"

Just as I was about to answer, she couldn't help but stop me, even with a vague plea, "No, forget it, don't say any more..."

I shut my mouth and she took a few deep breaths before removing her bracelet.

"Since you have confessed one thing to me, then I have to confess one thing to you." She said, "This is a prop I applied to the headquarters. Because this task requires contact with an informant who is a demon warlock , so the headquarters approved my application. And the function of this prop is to 'detect lies'. If the person I'm talking to has lied, it will heat up and remind me."
