Riding and Slashing

Chapter 411
There was a hint of surprise on Malbert's face, and then an awkward smile appeared on his face: "How did you see that?"

"Because I know what kind of person Malbert is—he has devised many conspiracies, but he will hide himself behind the scenes in all of them. This is a cautious habit of thinking, which is his nature and cannot be changed. ...and you, Kavala, you are just the opposite of Malbert, you always like to take risks yourself..."

Li Ang shook his head and said: "You are too anxious, Kavala, you never had time to see Malbert's last thoughts. If you hadn't intervened, Malbert might have successfully separated me from Wendy by now ..."

"Oh? You know what I'm going to do?"

What a strange scene, Malbert uses the body of Alles, but his soul is controlled by Kavala.

"After you found out that Arina and I were cheating together, you would definitely tell a story about 'saving Arles'—as long as Arles is alive, Arina will definitely save him, and so will Wendy and I." Will help Alina..."

Li Ang turned around slowly, glanced at the people present, and finally fixed on Malbert: "I am injured and cannot move, and since the Abyss Code is involved, I must let Wendy go to Ahuen Take a look. As long as Wendy leaves my side temporarily, no one here will be able to deal with spirit bodies... right?"

"I do think so...but why do you see that I am controlling Malbert?"

Malbert, or rather Kavala was a little puzzled.

"Because the target that Malbert wants to deal with is definitely not me, but Alina—he won't be as impatient as you, and his schemes have never been directly aimed at the target. This is his behavior and habit, and it is also his Cautious and careful nature... Besides, he will never talk a lot like you, because he doesn't need to tell all his experiences."

Li Ang sneered: "But you are not that familiar with Malbert's experience, so you can only retell his memories while 'checking'...but those memories are just clearing his thoughts in his mind, you can see the spirit You have the whole idea, but it seems too long-winded to say all the thoughts... Moreover, you couldn't tell Malbert's final intention at all, you subconsciously mentioned the code of the abyss that only you knew, and the result was superfluous It's..."

In fact, it was more than that. What made Li Ang realize that something was wrong was that Malbert directly said the sentence "I agreed this time".

Malbert has been deliberately describing him as "never signed a contract with Kavala, and will not sell his soul", this is to show an attitude of "cooperating", which can gain Li Ang's trust.

So he was describing step by step how he rejected Kavala's temptation. Originally, he would probably ask Li Ang to help him in the end, and at the same time help Ales - even if Li Ang was not fooled, Alina would be fooled.

Malbert's real target is actually Alina. He knows Li Ang and knows that Li Ang is not good at fooling around. He just wants to create a character set of "never cooperated with Kavala, never sold his soul" so that Li Ang will not doubt his True motives will do.

As long as Alena can be controlled, and then used to deal with Li Ang, the effect will be much better.

But Kavala is probably used to controlling others. He didn't realize that Malbert was using these seemingly useless experiences to make Leon regard him as a partner for cooperation. He actually controlled Malbert and said directly, "This time I accepted'……

In addition, Malbert mentioned the code in the ice cellar - Malbert might have noticed the book on the statue, but he certainly didn't know it was the code of the abyss at the time, and there was no need to mention these details.

Only Kavala would care so much about the code, and only Kavala would use the code to attract Li Ang...

But after that, Kavala probably saw Malbert's final thoughts, and found that he didn't intend to use the Codex to attract Li Ang's attention, but used Ales as a person. At this time, he tried to change his words—but he would change his words at this time Changing the script seems very blunt.

Malbert gave a wry smile, then suddenly his whole body trembled, and he fell limply to the ground.

"What's up with him?"

Arina asked in surprise.

"It seems that Kavala no longer controls Malbert."

Li Ang thought about it and replied: "However, Kavala didn't do anything this time, and he didn't want to talk to me much... He doesn't seem to have the confidence to overcome everything now."

After speaking, he took a few steps back, pushed the bookshelf behind Alina horizontally, found a chair from behind the bookshelf and sat down - this bookshelf is actually the door of a dark room, and behind it is a spacious room.

The houses of the great nobles of the Bacchus Empire generally have some traps. There is a secret passage in Levius' bedroom, and a secret room in Kailos' study...

"I have a question... why did Kavala come to Malbert again and again? Is there anything different about him?"

Wendy put away her sword and asked.

"A person who can become the Grand Master of the Twilight Knights in his 20s, an unknown person who has become the Grand Master of the Twilight Knights, and also knows some spells... plus his father's Cliff Bay and The strength of the Lion Knights is the most extraordinary thing. Kavala found all the most powerful people in the entire continent."

Li Ang shook his head and said: "Maltis, Kairos and his son, Malbert, and me...the combined strength of these people can easily conquer the Pendor Continent. But unfortunately, Kavala always wants to completely control These people... powerful people are powerful because of their own abilities, but if they are controlled by others, what is the difference between them and an ordinary soldier?"

"Then what should we do now? Arles and Malbert are still in the same body, and Kavala can control Malbert at any time..."

Alina looked at Alos and asked sadly.

"Let's talk about it when Malbert wakes up. I think Malbert probably doesn't want to be controlled."

Li Ang didn't know what to do, he knew that a living person couldn't kill a spirit body.

"Don't you need to visit Ahuen? The ice cellar he mentioned..."

Alina looked hesitant.

"Let Brutus go and see, we'd better not go..."

Li Ang looked at Brutus.

Alina nodded, and Brutus didn't delay, and left directly with Alina's guards.

There were only five people left in the room.

Li Ang, Wendy, Alena, Elena, and Arles who was bound and collapsed on the ground unconscious.

They waited until dawn before Arles' body came back to life.

But it was not Malbert who woke up, but Arles.

After seeing Alina, Ales' first reaction was to blush, then he turned his head and looked around, clutching his chest in panic.

"Luciana, why am I here... Ah, I must be sleepwalking again? Hiss... I have to go back quickly..."

He was only wearing a pair of underwear, probably thought he was sleepwalking while sleeping...

It's really like sleepwalking.

It seemed that Malbert was telling the truth. Allers really didn't know Malbert's existence, and he could regain control of his body in the daytime.

But Li Ang and Alina still felt that something was wrong—according to Cassian, the spy chief, Arles had appeared in Emperor Lingang yesterday afternoon, and it was broad daylight at that time.

Li Ang shook his head, threw his clothes over, and pulled up the screen to cover him.

"Thank you... Your Excellency... Ah, you should be His Majesty Li Ang, right? Thank you..."

Alles began to carefully put on his clothes, thanking him in a hurry as he put them on.

As the information distributor of Vipers, it's normal for him to recognize Li Ang.

But in the middle of wearing it, Alles seemed to be fully awake. He poked his head out with some doubts, and looked around again at the layout of the study.

Then, he saw the coast outside from the window - Kailos's mansion was built on the seashore on the southeast side of Emperor Lingang, not far from the pier, and he could see a small piece of sandy beach and reefs from the window.

"This doesn't seem to be my home... This is... Emperor Lingang?! How could I... How could I come here!!"

Alice's voice began to tremble.

"Brother, do you often sleepwalk?"

Alina glanced at Li Ang, and seeing Li Ang shaking her head slightly, she followed up the conversation very cooperatively.

"Yeah... Ever since I participated in the hypnosis training of the poisonous snakes, I often find myself appearing in other places after waking up..."

Alles smiled wryly at Alina: "This is probably the sequelae of hypnosis training. Many secret agents have this situation, but my symptoms are more serious-but I have never run so far! I I remember that I fell asleep in Ahuen, how could I come here overnight!"

Alina and Leon looked at each other, their eyes were full of surprise.

"When did you go to bed last night?"

Li Ang asked.

"Ten o'clock... I've fallen asleep as soon as ten o'clock recently. This should be because I have been practicing self-hypnosis at this time before."

Alles answered succinctly.

"So... what day is today?"

Li Ang frowned and asked again.

"It should be September [-]th..."

Arles also noticed something was wrong: "What day is today?"

"It's September [-]th today...Ales, have you been awake for the past two days?"

Li Ang sighed, it seems that Ales' consciousness has been suppressed for the past two days.

That is to say, Malbert can suppress Arles' consciousness at any time, and he can also awaken Arles at any time.

"Did I do something I shouldn't have done these two days?"

Ales had already dressed, and came out from behind the screen, asking nervously.

"There is no... hypnosis training... Do all the viper spies have such symptoms?"

Li Ang suddenly realized something and interrupted.

"It's not all, about half of them will be like this. It should be because they haven't mastered the ability of self-hypnosis... The instructor from the Shadow Wolves also said that this is a normal phenomenon, but Ahuen has sleepwalking. There are more people."

Arles nodded to Li Ang.

He was a gentle and polite nobleman, very similar to Justus in both appearance and personality.

"Alina... Malbert lied, his incident is not a coincidence, maybe the poisonous snakes are equivalent to a defenseless empty body after self-hypnosis, the person under control must not be the only one! If Think of Malbert as the Three Prophets, and the poisonous snakes are the body he was looking for, but he couldn't brainwash people like the Three Prophets, so he found these secret spies who can train self-hypnosis, and then took advantage of it."

Li Ang turned his head and said to Alina: "This is probably the way Malbert tried to fool us - poisonous snakes will often pass on information to you, not only can often get in close contact with you, but also can easily use Disinformation puts you in danger."

"What? Something about me? What Malbert? What is under control? What is in danger? What are you... talking about?"

Alles was a little flustered, he really didn't know anything.

"Ales, things about you are very complicated..."

Alina quickly and concisely explained to Ales that Malbert shared the same body with him.

"...In other words, I'm not sleepwalking, but I've been controlled by someone? Most of the Viper Squad has been controlled by someone?"

Alles' face turned pale all of a sudden.

"Maybe."

Alina nodded at him.

Malbert is obviously much smarter than Egrim or the Three Prophets, he doesn't occupy anyone's body, he is just "coexisting" with Arles and other spies.

He even tried not to affect people's normal life during the day - just like a virus that coexists with people...

But precisely because of the coexistence state, it is more difficult to deal with - we can't kill all the spies together with Arles, right?

Of course, for now, Malbert is probably still in Ahlers' body. After all, Wendy, the portable magic tower, has always been here.

"Ales, can you hypnotize yourself now?"

Li Ang thought for a while, and planned to put Ahlers into a hypnotic state to see if Malbert would take over his body—to solve the problem, he had to communicate with Malbert.

"Yes...but not here, I have to change to a place where there is no one..."

Arles nodded, but then looked at Alina and shook his head again.

Li Ang glanced at Alena, and probably understood what Alos meant—self-hypnosis needs to keep his mind stable, but it seems that Alos really likes his sister very much. When Alina is in front of him, he Probably can't make up my mind.

So Li Ang took him into the secret room behind the bookshelf, and pulled the bookshelf back to conceal it, leaving only a crack in the door for observation.

Anyway, this secret room is a closed space, even if Malbert took over Ahlers' body again, he couldn't escape.

Alina understood and took Elena and stood beside Wendy, leaving Li Ang to stare at the bookshelf.

Not long after, Alles did become dazed, and then opened his eyes suddenly.

"Malbert, is that you?"

Li Ang asked through the crack of the door.

"It's me... Li Ang, I can hear everything you said. Most of your judgments are correct. I did plan to use the poisonous snake troops to control Alina, but Kavala, an idiot, is at a critical moment. Interrupting my plans... It's amazing insight that you realize I'm being controlled by Kavala."

Malbert didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point: "But you guessed wrong... It wasn't me who controlled the Viper troops while they were undergoing hypnosis training, but Kavala. I just shared the same One body, but the rest of the Viper Squad share their bodies with some other spirits controlled by Kavala - those spirits are all priests of the Snake Cult, and Arles' wife is one of them."

"Then... how to solve this trouble?"

Li Ang shook his head: "You don't want to be controlled by him all the time, do you?"

"Of course I don't want to...but what can I do? I'm just a puppet now...I'm just a magic carrier that Kavala found! I will be entangled by him just because I know some soul spells."

Malbert also seemed helpless: "Li Ang, I don't want to deal with you, I just want to live."
