Chapter 56 Counterattack (1)
On the desolate land of Los Angeles, there are two more grave mounds.
That belonged to Jing Shier and Lu De.
Even though these two people tried to harm him, Shen Yi still let them die, even if the destination seemed so far away.
They used cigarettes instead of incense and placed them in front of their graves.
Standing not far away was Kyle Liss. He couldn't understand the behavior of these adventurers—they fought side by side and killed each other, and then they died sadly.
At the same time, he couldn't understand Marcus—why a person who is so good suddenly becomes a machine.
Shen Yi put his hands in the pockets of his trousers, the windbreaker flapped under the strong wind, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was waiting for something.
King Kong stood beside Shen Yi, looked at the two graves, and muttered softly: "It's a pity."
It is indeed a pity.
Two adventurers died, and Zhou Yiyu and the monk left, causing the strength of the adventurer team to drop drastically. In the next fourth round of hunting, if there is no accident, they will only have to flee.
"Know what I think?" Hong Lang said suddenly: "Maybe they didn't really die, maybe they just returned to the previous world, were wiped out of memory and ability, and then continued to live like ordinary people. Maybe Death is not real death, but only a relief."
Rou Rou glanced at Hong Lang in surprise: "When did you become so philosophical?"
Hong Lang shrugged: "It's just a kind of self-consolation for people who are afraid of failure and death. If one day, I am going to die, then at least I can use this reason to comfort myself before I die, telling myself not to be afraid. A game, now the game is over, and I can finally go home."
Shen Yi said leisurely: "Are you implying me that if one day I leave the bloody city and return to the earth, I will find myself just a rotten corpse under the loess pile?"
Everyone laughed.
The laughter dilutes the gloom, and makes everyone feel better about the bad mood caused by the loss of strength and the leakage of information.
After laughing, Shen Yi looked at everyone: "Has anyone figured out why I let Zhou Yiyu leave?"
King Kong shook his head: "I still can't figure it out. All I know is that the contest between us and the bloodthirsty team is like a game of cards. Once one side's cards are seen by the other side, it will be passive. Even if we There are new hole cards, and they can't replace the parts that have been exposed... The more good cards, the better, isn't it?"
Shen Yi laughed: "If two people are playing against each other, of course the cards in their hands should be covered as tightly as possible. It is best not to be seen by the other party, and to look at the other party's cards desperately. This In this case, one party will expose most of their own cards, which will indeed cause a big problem. Unfortunately, this is not a two-person duel, but a multi-player battle. The biggest mistake you make is to mistakenly think that no one else has betrayed us. Your strength will not be exposed, but you have forgotten one thing."
"what?"
Shen Yi sighed: "I remember telling you that Xie Rongjun also has reconnaissance skills."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
That's right.
In the bloody city, when Shen Yi went to inform Xie Rongjun about his brother's death, he used mental detection on Xie Rongjun, but in the end, Xie Rongjun called out his city number. This fully shows that Xie Rongjun also has investigative skills, and can see part of the opponent's details.
Here comes the problem.
Since Xie Rongjun has the skills to investigate, why would he go to such lengths to obtain information about Shen Yi and the others at any cost?
One must know that Shen Yi did this because his mental detection skills were blocked by the blood stabbing team, making it impossible to detect other people. Team 641 doesn't have the ability to seal the opponent's detection skills, so the bloodthirsty team doesn't have to pay such a high price.
But he did it anyway, and his shot was even more generous than Shen Yi's, and his momentum was much bigger.
Seeing everyone's astonished faces, Shen Yi pondered for a while before saying: "Actually,
There is no news in the world that is not airtight. Even without Xie Rongjun's detection skills, we have cooperated with other adventurers in the previous two missions. As long as Xie Rongjun has the heart, we will always find some news. Therefore, the purpose of Xie Rongjun's doing this, the purpose, or the biggest purpose is not to collect information. "
"What is that for?" King Kong asked hastily.
There was a trace of helplessness in Shen Yi's eyes: "What else could it be for? Look at what happened just now, don't you understand? That's exactly what Xie Rongjun hoped for... He is actually making enemies everywhere for us!"
On the surface, Xie Rongjun's reward order is just a way to obtain the information of the 641 team, but there is another murderous intention hidden in the dark.
That is, he is using this method to turn all the adventurers in the slums into Shen Yi's enemies.
I believe that any adventurer would not mind betraying Shen Yi's news after receiving the reward order. And if Shen Yi and the others wanted to keep the secret of their own strength, they would have to kill, such as Jing Shier and others.
This has a great impact on Shen Yi, after all, what he is best at is using others.
In the previous missions, he used various means more than once to make other adventurers his allies, his tools, even his cannon fodder, his cash machine...Shen Yi is good at borrowing strength, not easily Make enemies in the bloody city.
However, Xie Rongjun's actions made Shen Yi's specialty disappear, making him become thorny every step of the way in the bloody city environment.
This is like a game of cards between two parties, and one party publicly releases a declaration. Whoever tells me what cards the other party has in his hand, I will give him a sum of money. So a bunch of spectators joined in the fun, desperately trying to peek at your cards. If you get angry, curse, or even fight, you will find yourself in a situation where you are surrounded by enemies.
At that time, you will face not only your opponents in the game, but also a large group of people outside the game.
The latter is even more terrifying-Jing Shier died, Lu De died, the monk escaped, and the 641 team had another enemy. If Jing Shier and Lu De still have friends in this world, then there may be more than one.
If this situation is allowed to continue, Team 641 will soon be everywhere.
However, Shen Yi's opponent is the blood-stabbing team in the ordinary area. In terms of strength and financial resources, they are only stronger than the 641 team.
If other adventurers were asked to choose sides, 80% of them would only choose the bloodthirsty team instead of the 641 team.
It can be said that Xie Rongjun's approach made full use of his fame and strength, and at the beginning of the war, the 641 team fell into a desperate situation.
Therefore, Xie Rongjun's real intention in issuing the reward order was not to know the details of the 641 team, but to deliberately use this as bait to create trouble for the 641 team and establish enemies.
For example, now, due to the death of Jing Twelve and others, the difficulty of completing their tasks has suddenly increased, which is precisely the result of Xie Rongjun's secret push to fuel the flames.
Under such circumstances, Shen Yi realized that if he wanted to finish the game of cards well with the blood pricking team, he had to deal with those bystanders who kept peeking at the cards behind them first.
Even if you can't let them be used by yourself, at least let them return to a neutral position.
How can the bystanders stop disrupting the situation?
The best way is to show the cards.
At this moment Shen Yi turned around slowly, faced everyone and said:
"To be honest, if I had known earlier that Jing Twelve and the others were planning to kill me because of Xie Rongjun, and that Xie Rongjun used a reward order, I would definitely not have chosen to kill Jing Twelve and the others. Of course, information is what determines the outcome. Allies are even more important. To outnumber the few, to fight the few is the kingly way. To fight alone, to fight with one against a hundred... Not to mention that there is no hope of winning, even if I can win, I will feel that I am too much of a failure .”
"As for Zhou Yiyu, I don't know if he will betray us, but it's not important anymore. We might as well regard this as a test for him. If he doesn't betray us, maybe we will have another comrade in arms in the future. Even if he Betrayed us, as a man, he would feel somewhat guilty..."
"This battle has just begun, and our opponents... are far more cunning than we thought."
Shen Yi's answer made everyone suddenly realize.
They had to admit that Shen Yi was far more comprehensive than they thought.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Shen Yi let Zhou Yiyu go. To him, whether to kill Zhou Yiyu or not is meaningless. On the contrary, if Zhou Yiyu didn't betray them, then he would have another trusted friend. From an emotional point of view, this is also the most acceptable choice for him.
As for the monk... the hatred that has been formed cannot be turned back, so he can only face it calmly.
King Kong asked: "Why don't they directly offer a higher price for our heads? Wouldn't that be easier and more convenient?"
"Because they don't want to use other people's hands to kill us at all, that's just a cover. For Xie Rongjun, all he needs is to use this incident to provoke other adventurers' hostility towards us and stimulate our resistance, so that Intensify the conflict between us and others. For adventurers, killing five adventurers for 15,000 points is obviously not as cost-effective as spying on five adventurers for 10,000 points. It is also in line with Xie Rongjun's needs. If he really wants to buy our lives with money, then he must at least double the price. Even for adventurers in ordinary areas, 30,000 blood points are enough. It’s not a small number. There’s no need for the Stab Blood team to pay such a big price, it’s better to strengthen themselves and kill us with this money.”
Wen Rou also asked: "Then what shall we do in the future?"
Shen Yi chuckled lightly: "Everything has pros and cons. There is no such thing as a chess game that only sees the advantages and does not see the disadvantages. Since Xie Rongjun doesn't need information about us at all, but wants to let the wind out on purpose, then don't blame me for being rude. I made a profit from him. After we brothers finish this mission, we can entrust Ali to visit him. Let him sell our information and make a net profit, isn't it great? ? Instead of letting others earn the bounty and make us go everywhere, why don’t we earn it ourselves! He’s sending money to the door.”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Shen Yi's plan is really sinister enough. Since you want to make me enemies everywhere by offering rewards, I'll simply sell my own information to reap the benefits. I believe that with the reputation of the bloodthirsty team, they will definitely not easily renege on their debts. No matter whether he buys it or not, if he wants to maintain this reward order, he must pay a high blood point as the price.
If he didn't want to continue unnecessary spending, he had to cancel the reward order. As soon as the reward order disappeared, Shen Yi naturally didn't have to worry about making enemies.
However, King Kong frowned and said, "Anyway, exposing our details like this will always have a great impact on our strength. Is there any way to eliminate this impact?"
King Kong's worries are not unreasonable.
Although Xie Rongjun has detection skills, they can only be used against people after all, and they may not be able to know everything. In other words, selling too much of your own information will still be very detrimental to yourself.
Shen Yi smiled slightly: "Of course. There are two ways to eliminate unfavorable factors. One: look back at the other party's hole cards. Isn't it great that everyone knows each other? We have already asked Ali to do this matter. Just obey the destiny. As for the second point... it is to try to let yourself have a new hole card that will not be leaked."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi's voice became cold and deep, revealing the harshness of winter, which made everyone's heart skip a beat.
Gentle and instinctively asked: "How can I get a new hole card?"
"Of course it is to complete a difficult task." Shen Yi replied quickly.
Difficult task? Everyone looks at each other.
King Kong tentatively asked, "Are you talking about eliminating the Terminator who pursued the fourth round?"
"No!" Shen Yi flatly denied: "The difficulty is not too high!"
He turned his eyes around his partner, then smiled and said, "Are you interested in going to the Skynet headquarters with me?"
