Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

When she went down along the sewer mentioned by Xiao Jing and came to a passage, she saw the following words written on the cracked wall.

Before she could take a closer look, several evil interns emerged from the shadows, holding sharp blades made of broken building materials, their eyes full of hostility.

The evil spirits in the court are obviously different from those in Yunlong City. They are thin and short, less than one meter and three meters tall. They are afraid of light, and their bodies constructed of shadows keep swaying, as if they could go out at any time.

Obviously, she was the one who was surrounded, but these interns were trembling with fear, not having the confidence of numerical advantage at all.

It is not difficult to see that the lives of the evil spirits in the court are very unhappy, and are no different from rats in the sewers.

"I want to see your elders."

"Don't even think about it!"

One of the interns shouted, holding the sharpened building materials tightly in both hands, and took a step back. "We will not be fooled by your sweet talk. I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise, we will not be polite!"

Its actions were echoed by other interns, and another shadow echoed, "You must be trying to trick us out of the cave and kill us to collect the bounty, but we won't be fooled!"

Instead of being scared when threatened, September found it a little funny.

In the court, the identities of humans and evil spirits were reversed. The evil spirits here stayed peacefully in the sewers and would be frightened to death by humans who suddenly broke in.

"You think I'd trick you into following me out of the sewer?"

“Isn’t that so?” the leading intern said sternly, “You must have set up an ambush up there. We’ll be dead if we walk out of the sewer!”

"No, you misunderstood."

Jiu Yue became playful, his pupils turned blood-red, and more and more people followed him. "I am different from the beautiful women your elders talked about. I will not coax you with soft words. I will only chop your body into two pieces, twist off your heads and hang them on wooden stakes, and then wait for your elders to claim your bodies."

"Run!"

The leading intern shouted loudly, but just as it took a step forward, it lost its balance and fell heavily to the ground.

This makes no sense!

They are evil spirits without substance, and should not be driven by the laws of physics. When it turned its head to look, the scene that came into its sight almost scared it to death - it was not the only one who fell down. In front of this devil, they didn't even have a chance to escape.

"You know, evil spirits can also be sentient."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and he spoke leisurely.

The thin figure kept crawling forward, but was soon caught up by the devil. "Have you ever experienced the feeling of having your tendons pulled out and your skin peeled off? The vitality of evil spirits is much stronger than that of humans. Your consciousness will not dissipate immediately. You can hold on for a long time and witness your body being peeled to pieces with your own eyes."

"I won't take you to see the elders, ah——!"

The intern yelled.

The elder was right. Outside the nest were monsters that would eat evil spirits without leaving any bones. Not only would they catch evil spirits for money, they also knew many cruel tortures that would make the evil spirits live a life worse than death.

The screams echoed in the sewer for a long time. The other interns were frightened by this scene and they didn't dare to look back to witness the miserable situation of their companions.

Just as September came in front of the intern, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook slightly.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tangled mass of black tree roots spreading towards her.

"Don't touch them and get out of here!"

A majestic voice came from the depths of darkness, commanding in an unquestionable tone.

Jiu Yue remained unmoved. She just glanced at the tree roots with contempt and continued to look down at the evil intern who was still screaming.

"Okay, get up, your elders are here to pick you up."

The softened voice did not work. Her hand lightly touched the intern's body, and the latter immediately let out a scream like a chicken being slaughtered.

……

Ten minutes later, under the guidance of the tree root, September and several frightened interns came to the deepest part of the nest and met the elders of the court.

This was the first time September had seen such an evil spirit. It looked like an ancient tree, lurking in the deepest part of the sewer. Its black vines provided a shelter for the evil spirits that fled there.

This should be the evil spirit that Mr. Mingyuan mentioned that is in the nesting stage.

As for the other interns who were secretly glancing at this place, most of them were ugly and ugly, and their actual combat abilities were not much stronger than humans. Even Tang Qianqian could easily deal with them.

A wrinkled human face slowly emerged on the tree stump, staring at her warily, still not letting down its guard against her.

"Don't take it seriously, it was just a joke from the evil spirits. This is how the evil spirits in Yunlong City tease each other."

This is not a lie.

After all, under the new policies formulated by Mr. Mingyuan, the evil spirits in Yunlong City have long stopped doing bad things.

However, they are evil spirits, as the name suggests, they are on the evil side. Therefore, in order not to forget their original intentions and keep in mind their identity as members of the evil camp, the evil spirits created evil jokes.

They are just a group of street urchins who say the most bloody and cruel words and then help old ladies cross the street.

"Most of these evil spirits are children. You are going too far."

The elders criticized September. God knows what kind of indelible psychological trauma this evil joke will leave on the children.

"Child? Why would a child hide in the sewer?"

"Because most of their parents are busy with work and have no time to take care of them, the lonely souls gather together after they fall asleep."

As an elder trusted by the children, he did his best to build a safe haven for them in the sewer.

"I see, then we should get along well."

Jiuyue didn't expect that this evil elder, whom she met for the first time, would unexpectedly agree with the new industry regulations proposed by Mr. Mingyuan.

"Get along?"

"I was thinking, if you are a ruthless villain, I would burn you to death."

“…Is this also a spooky joke?”

"this is not."

The two of them fell silent at the same time, and the elder also felt that September's words were full of magic.

Aren’t evil spirits meant to do bad things?

Why does this fox demon claim to be the representative of evil in Yunlong City, but does the work of hunters?

"What on earth are you doing here?"

"A minister was murdered tonight, and I came here to get the news."

"Then you've come to the wrong place. I haven't left the sewers for a long time. I can assure you that these children are not murderers."

At this point, the elder suddenly fell silent, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Don't worry, you can tell me anything you think of."

Jiu Yue patted his chest and promised, "Don't be afraid of causing trouble. If they come, I will help you burn them all to death."

The elder was angry but dared not say anything. He tried to use force to expel the other party, but the only result was a beating.

What on earth is wrong with this fox demon?

Does it mean that if you don't burn others to death you won't be able to speak?

But he said something completely different. "Half a month ago, a group of people came here and wanted us to do something for them. Maybe they did it."

I read everyone's opinions recently and found that many people think the new name is not good, so I changed it back.

Chapter 154: The Dangers of Placing a Flag

The evil elder's crucial testimony cleared the Enderman of suspicion.

If you must say it, these interns who live in the deepest part of the sewers and are at peace with the world seem to be more in line with the setting of the Endermen. But just a few days ago, a group of uninvited guests came here and invited them to discuss big plans.

They have a plan to overthrow the court.

If the elders could lend them a helping hand, once the task was accomplished, the evil spirits would no longer have to live in the sewers like rats, but would be able to walk openly on the streets without being hunted.

For the evil spirits who have lived here all year round, this is indeed a tempting plan. However, the great orc philosopher Mr. Grom once questioned the temptation.

——But what is the price?

The young evil spirit was inexperienced, but as an elder, he was not new to the world. He was very sure that this was a variant of the scam, trying to trick them out to die for others.

Whenever something happens, there must be sacrifice. The question is who the sacrifice is.

The elder felt that the group of people did not come here to sacrifice themselves, but rather to seek partners to sacrifice.

But as an experienced person, he knew that he could not refuse immediately in such a situation, otherwise he would most likely be killed to silence him, so he first showed great interest, and then said that he was powerless, saying that "there was a bug and he couldn't leave the sewer."

The spirit is with you.

This is the wisdom of the Archdruid.

"They mentioned one thing when they were talking to me. They said that among the aliens participating in the exhibition this time, there are envoys from the Red Star. Those people are born plague bombs. As long as we can find a way to kidnap them, we can use them as secret weapons."

The elder calmly analyzed the information provided by September and said, "Do you think it is possible that the minister happened to see them kidnapping the Red Star Chamber of Commerce envoy and was silenced?"

"possible."

September suddenly realized that she and the elders agreed.

No wonder Emerald tried to control public opinion at the first opportunity and classified the minister’s death as suicide.

Otherwise, if someone investigates the cause of the minister's death, the missing Red Star envoy will also be investigated.

Then the news that several humanoid self-propelled plague bombs have been hijacked by terrorists will spread like wildfire in the court, not only causing widespread panic, but also turning the third prince into an eternal sinner.

The person disappeared in Emerald. If we think about it from the perspective of conspiracy, it is possible that the Third Prince had already colluded with the terrorists. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why the terrorists could accurately know the whereabouts and schedule of the Red Star envoy.

This is the most heavily guarded place on the planet. Kidnapping important envoys from other planets is not something that can be done by just a few scoundrels picked up from the street.

Before dawn, Intelligence September fulfilled its mission and brought back this extremely important news.

"I knew it!"

Duan Mingyuan sighed after waking up and learning the bad news.

When the silver-haired girl described the "Red Star People's Self-Destruction Guide" in detail at the auction, Duan Mingyuan had a premonition that this day would come.

The Red Death was described in such detail, and the Red Star people were compared to mobile plague bombs. If they were not kidnapped by the terrorists as hostages, the silver-haired girl's passionate explanation would have been in vain.

The girl swore that she was an expert and would protect everyone, but less than half a day later, the Red Star people were abducted.

This matter is closely related to everyone in the court.

It's like in the movies, terrorists somehow seize a nuclear bomb and aim it at the city you're in. They don't care who is guilty and who is innocent, and they just attack indiscriminately.

"Mr. Mingyuan, don't panic. According to the plot in the movie, the terrorists' plans will eventually fail."

"Movies are movies, reality is reality."

In the world of movies, the villain's failure is inevitable.

Because those victorious villains failed to pass the review, they naturally could not enter their sight. But the reality is different. The review can only show off to law-abiding citizens. When they encounter real terrorists, they can only tremble like everyone else.

And poor Minister Steve.

He neither followed the path of the dark minotaur nor wanted to defend the glory of the pure love warrior. He just went out without checking the almanac and happened to see the terrorists kidnapping the envoys, and then was killed like a passerby.

"I think the third prince might also have a problem."

September said.

At least he is responsible for the minister's death.

The Green Emerald Palace is a gathering place for the powerful and wealthy. To ensure safety, everyone needs to undergo a strict body search before entering. However, judging from the way the minister died, the hijacker not only successfully passed the security check, but was also very familiar with the layout inside the theater.

Duan Mingyuan did not refute. According to his observation, the third prince was against the company.

However, he knew how to disguise his intentions and pretended to be a neutral businessman. He actually hoped that the Red Star Envoy would eventually go around and fall into the hands of the Third Prince.

At least the third prince is emotionally stable. He won't explode himself with the red crystal just because he suddenly feels uncomfortable after waking up today.

"Are you going to find the whereabouts of the envoy? The elder has not left his house and probably cannot provide any valuable information."

Even though he had intelligence in September, he still felt that the situation was a bit tricky.

But she was an optimistic fox. When she encountered a problem that could not be solved, she would deal with it optimistically by sleeping. She believed that there would be a way out. In the case of insufficient intelligence, it was useless to stay in the room and worry about it. She suggested, "We should continue with our previous travel plan. Didn't you say you wanted to experience the fish spring bath introduced by the third prince?"

Taking a fish spring bath is said to relieve fatigue and beautify the skin. This fish introduced from other galaxies not only eats dead skin on people's bodies, but also absorbs their negative energy.

"Doesn't Criminal Minds mean getting into the mind of a terrorist? Think about it, they just did something big, kidnapped the Red Star Chamber of Commerce's envoy in public, and silenced the ministers in the court, but Emerald could only swallow this loss and claim that the minister committed suicide."

Jiu Yue analyzed rationally and thought that if she was a terrorist, she would have been carried away by now.
