Chapter 40 Periphery

When the meeting ended, Shen Yi sat in his seat and did not leave. m

Lin Weisheng came over and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder: "Don't mind, Shi Zhen has such a straight temper, he is easy to offend people, but he is a rare expert in combat, and he is also a good and reliable comrade in arms."

"Don't worry, I will properly handle the relationship with him." Shen Yi smiled.

"That's good, I believe you have the ability to do this. By the way, tomorrow's reconnaissance of the space port will be left to you, how about it? I don't feel relieved to leave it to others." The latest novel "Piggy Island" Fiction"

Unexpectedly, Shen Yi shook his head and said: "Let your people do this. I have some private matters these two days, and I want to handle them alone."

"That's it..." Lin Weisheng thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Well, you don't belong to the Vientiane Palace after all, and I don't want to ask you too much. But be careful in everything, once you place an order, then The gang might pounce on you and tear you apart."

"Don't worry, I will handle it carefully." Shen Yi smiled.

Lin Weisheng comforted Shen Yi a few more words like a superior leader who appeases his subordinates, and then left. The latest novel "Pig Island Novel"

Shen Yi still sat in his seat thinking alone, frowning.

Rourou came over, sat beside him and asked, "Do you want to take the opportunity to get the Hellfire Engine?"

"En." Shen Yi replied noncommittally.

"Why don't you explain it to Lin Weisheng directly? Maybe his people can help us."

"Because there are some things I haven't figured out yet, I want to wait until I think clearly before making a decision."

"Oh?" Rourou was very curious: "I thought there was nothing you couldn't figure out. All the way to the present, it seems that there is no problem that has troubled you."

"It's different this time." Shen Yi shook his head and replied.

"What's the difference? Isn't it all about dealing with the enemy, formulating plans, and implementing actions?" King Kong asked, and he and Hong Lang also came back. Another small meeting was held.

Shen Yi shook his head: "That's the problem. In previous battles, we made plans to let the enemy follow our steps, but this time, I feel that something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I have no idea.

"Shen Yi shook his head: "But I have a feeling that our opponent seems to have prepared a certain trap and is waiting for us to drill into it. If we used to take the initiative and decide how to fight this battle, then this time, things may be reversed. If we can't get rid of this unfavorable situation, we will become the targets that we defeated in the first place..."

King Kong and others looked at each other softly.

King Kong said in a deep voice: "Could it be that you are overthinking? This incident may really be just a coincidence. Maybe the East District also wanted to get information from the security center, but it happened that we came, so they changed their tactics on the spur of the moment. Start with Imida."

"You think the layout I'm referring to is a traitor?" Shen Yi asked back.

Everyone was stunned.

Gentle asked: "It's not about the traitor, so what else is the problem?"

Shen Yi has already replied: "The appearance of the Variety Fairy is definitely not a coincidence, but this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that when I fought with her, I noticed that she has an extraordinary self-confidence."

"You must have confidence in battle." Hong Romantic replied casually: "No matter what kind of situation you face, you must have the confidence that you can solve your opponent. Even blind faith is better than no confidence. A battle without even confidence fuck?"

He relies on courage for his food. For him, even impulsiveness, recklessness, and stubbornness are more valuable and meaningful than being smart and cautious, so he doesn't care about the opponent's self-confidence that Shen Yi said.

Shen Yi shook his head and said: "She is not confident in fighting, in fact she never thought she could win me."

Although the fighting time with the Variety Bewitching Girl was short, Shen Yi could still feel that the Variety Bewitching Girl had a serious lack of confidence when confronting him. It was precisely because of this that she would sneak attack, disguise, escape, show weakness, and use all kinds of methods out, and eventually retreat.

However, Shen Yi still saw another kind of self-confidence in her. This kind of self-confidence was not the self-confidence in being able to defeat Shen Yi, but the self-confidence that the Eastern District would surely return with a big victory in the future. It was a kind of self-confidence that everything was under control. .

Shen Yi said slowly: "She thinks that the Eastern District can win."

Fatty Hong Lang and the others looked at each other, obviously they hadn't followed Shen Yi's thinking for a while.

Fortunately, King Kong finally understood Shen Yi's meaning: "You think that the Eastern District has a certain plan to make them invincible, that's why you can only run away from the ever-changing Enchantress, but it has no effect on the whole battle situation. Because of the slightest performance?"

Shen Yi nodded: "Yes, but it's not just her. Didn't you notice that from entering the mission world to now, our Lin Weisheng, King Lin, hasn't shown too much to the battle situation? Even after knowing that Edmund came in personally , he was not too anxious. By the way, there is Cliff...Edmund actually brought him in. How did the West District show that his confidence in the battle situation was out of balance? Just in the previous battle, didn't he still Have Affleck, Palma, and Xie Rongjun never made a move? In addition, there is the Shura Knife... the number one artifact of the Bloodletter Legion in the North District. When the Bloodletter Legion handed it over to the boy, they never thought What will be the result of defeat? Even if the people in the North District are used to fighting bravely, they won’t be so brainless, right?”

He looked up at everyone present: "Each district has shown its own unique confidence... Where does their confidence come from? Just relying on those powerful artifacts?"

"No..." Shen Yi shook his head: "I used to think that the hole cards that the four major organizations relied on were some hidden masters, artifacts, etc., but now I suddenly realized that I was wrong. Weapons are not hole cards, they are just bets .In a huge gamble, the bet may have the advantage of overwhelming capital, but it is definitely not the key to winning."

"Didn't they already have a plan for the three districts to unite? Maybe this is what they rely on." Wen Rou was puzzled.

"But when did you see that they had a little intention of uniting?" Shen Yi asked back.

Gentle couldn't answer.

Shen Yi already said: "The alliance is just an agreement, but there are no specific steps in action♀ which shows that the three major organizations don't think they can have a real alliance at all. At best, when the four districts are in a melee, the firepower against the west district will be even greater. Concentrate more, and when making plans, consider dealing with the West District more, this is the greatest degree of unity."

"Then why are they so confident?" Zhou Yiyu didn't understand at all.

"I don't know either." Shen Yi spread his hands: "But what I know now is that the plan for the death race had already started long before we entered the Immortal Chewing Realm. Therefore, in terms of preparations, the Purgatory Sect will only be more prepared than us." Sufficient and more prepared. As for the other three districts, they broke in even knowing that the Purgatory Sect owns the Sky Bridge. Are they impulsive and brainless? A brainless adventurer may be able to become a general with the help of his teammates. For example, Hong Lang..."

"Damn!" Hong Lang rolled his eyes.

Shen Yi ignored him and continued: "...But a brainless organization will never dominate the city. So they will not and should decide whether to win or lose on one or two artifacts, or one or two powerful and smart people Adventurers. They should have a complete set of plans, no matter what kind of situation arises, they can deal with and solve it, which is in line with the thinking habits or political skills that a large organization should have."

"You mean... a real game, a game like we used to deal with those mission targets, no matter whether we win or lose, we can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and remain undefeated?" King Kong has completely understood what Shen Yi said before. the meaning of.

"Yes." Shen Yi nodded: "Although I have always disliked the concept of admitting bureaus, it does exist. This is what I am thinking about now... I don't know what the hell they are doing, but I Quite frankly, if we can’t see through this situation, then we will be the ones who will be unlucky in the end.”

Everyone was shocked at the same time.

Shen Yi seldom had such shocking moments, most of the time, he was full of confidence.

It was precisely because of this that when Shen Yi showed his lack of confidence and worry about the future, it also put a heavy burden on everyone's psychology.

As a result, the atmosphere became serious, everyone was wondering what the four major organizations were doing behind the scenes, and would occasionally put forward some ideas, but they were all denied by Shen Yi.

Time passed by every minute, but the problem was not resolved, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

Finally, Hong Lang couldn't stand the aura that froze everyone, and shouted loudly: "I really don't understand what else could be wrong here, anyway, it is impossible for the four major forces to know the situation in the mission world in advance , it is impossible for them to make any additional arrangements?"

Rourou said unhappily: "Not knowing the situation in the mission world does not mean that there is no arrangement. It seems that the key factor that determines the victory of a war may not always be on the battlefield."

Shen Yi's heart moved slightly: "Renrou is right, the plans of the four major organizations should have been drawn up before entering the mission world, so the key points may not be here in the mission world."

"Could it be that they still want to engage in a game on the interstellar battlefield? The meaning of existence here is to trick Edmund into entering, but fortunately, the world of difficulty five will deal a severe blow to Purgatory Sect?" Zhou Yiyu asked.

Shen Yi nodded: "It's not impossible. But this kind of approach is undoubtedly expanding the war, and the Supreme Council will definitely not accept it."

"Who can say for sure, maybe the three major organizations have collectively gone crazy." King Kong sighed: "But anyway, if the plan is outside the task, then no matter what we do, there is no way to solve it. What we can deal with, after all, is the matter of the current three-acre land, which may not be managed well. As for the outside, who cares if they win or lose. "

"I'm afraid that the plans outside will have a fundamental impact on the actions inside." Gentle and weakly replied: "Who knows what is going on in these guys' heads? Shen Yi is right. Come down, I also feel that some people's attitudes are very subtle."

"What do you mean?" asked the fat man.

Wenrou thought for a while and answered: "Just like the feeling that the ever-changing enchantress gave Shen Yi, some people around us seem to have extraordinary self-confidence."

"Confident that the Southern District will definitely win?"

Rourou thought about it seriously for a while, then shook her head: "No, it's because she's confident that she won't lose."

"You won't lose?" Shen Yi suddenly sat up:

His eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, damn it, she is not confident that she can win, but that she is confident that she will not lose!"

Everyone looked at each other, and Hong Lang asked in amazement: "Boss, are you okay? Being able to win and not losing are not the same thing?"

"Of course it's not the same thing!" Shen Yi replied solemnly: "In a multi-party war, there may be only one winner, but there can be many people who don't lose at the same time. But the most important thing is that the way a large organization thinks about problems Unlike us, victory is never their first pursuit, because they have already stood at the pinnacle of the city. Therefore, how to preserve their own interests to the greatest extent in a desperate contest is what they have to consider. Simple It is said that no matter they win or lose, they will not pay too much..."

Everyone shrugged at the same time: "I don't understand."

Hong Lang even said directly: "If you lose, you lose. How can you not pay any money if you lose?"

"Have you forgotten the betting around?" Shen Yi asked leisurely.

gambling?

Everyone's heart trembled at the same time.

King Kong suddenly understood: "The four major organizations must have placed a heavy bet on the peripheral game!"

Ruan also said coldly: "As long as the bet is correct, the winning party will certainly make a lot of money, and the losing party will also get back everything they lost. That's why they dare to participate in this death match, because they have already Prepare yourself for failure."

"Hmph, this is being both a referee and a player." Zhou Yiyu also sneered: "But how can they be sure who is the winner? Make an appointment with each other?"

The fat man immediately shook his head: "It's about human life, they can't make an appointment, and the adventurers participating in the competition will not accept this kind of agreement."

Hong Lang waved his hand: "If you can't be sure who wins, betting is meaningless."

"Who said that?" Shen Yi asked back: "You can't be sure who wins, but you can always be sure who loses, right?"

Everyone was stunned again.

King Kong looked at Shen Yi: "You mean..."

Shen Yi's face has become frozen: "From now on, none of these people in the southern district can be trusted!"
