Chapter 31 The Price

Bringing Sarah back to the slum area, standing outside the woman's house, Shen Yi thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and said: "You wait outside..."

Then he went into the house by himself.

The tattooed woman is already waiting for him

Seeing Shen Yi coming, the woman threw a box to Shen Yi's hand: "All the goods you want are here, where is my money?"

Shen Yi opened it to have a look, and found that the samples were all right, he also threw out a box: "The money is inside, order some."

The woman looked at the money in the box and showed a satisfied smile: "There is no need for that... I think since you have 160,000, you will have more money, right?"

Behind the woman, there were three strong, fat and round men with dragon and tiger tattoos.

They walked towards Shen Yi, and the bald man at the head shouted: "Put the goods down, take out all your money, if you are sensible, you can still keep your two legs."

Shen Yi looked at the woman: "It seems that you are not very satisfied with the price I offered."

"I just want more." The woman laughed hoarsely.

"Since you plan to take the goods back, then I don't think you need to do anything with the goods, right?"

"Of course." The woman said proudly.

"That's good."

Seemingly hearing something, Sarah called out, "What happened?"

Shen Yi replied: "It's nothing, it's just that there are some transaction details that need to be discussed again."

Said he gently closed the door.

Then Sarah heard a slight and thin sound, like a sharp knife hitting flesh, but it was not obvious.

Immediately afterwards, a shrill scream suddenly came from the house, and it stopped abruptly, as if something had blocked the throat, causing the sound to be silent only halfway through.

Sarah was startled, and instinctively took a step back.

Then she saw the door open.

Shen Yi walked out of the door slowly,

Close the door gently.

"What did you do to them?" Sarah asked in horror.

"Nothing, it was just a friendly consultation, exchanged views on the basis of respect for both sides, and reached agreement on some aspects..."

Sarah opened her mouth: "This... this sounds really official."

Shen Yi has come to Sarah's side: "Then let me put it in a simpler way. They think that I am a big customer and they must give me a certain discount, so they decided to reduce or exempt the original 160,000 US dollars."

"How much is the reduction?"

"Sixteen dollars."

"That doesn't sound like much."

"Pay numbers."

He didn't explain any more, but directly stuffed a mask to Sarah: "Let's go, put this on, and change clothes, so that those guys can't find us temporarily even if they use satellites."

Sarah could only leave with Shen Yi.

Behind him, a lot of blood flowed from the small door...

On the way back, Sarah remained silent.

After walking for nearly twenty minutes, Sarah finally said, "They..."

"Yes, I killed them." Shen Yi replied, "Because they wanted to steal my money."

Sarah bit her lower lip: "I guessed it, but it's not a capital offense."

"I'm not a judge either." Shen Yi said leisurely: "I didn't have to kill them, but considering that woman is the maker of the mask, she might betray us to the authorities, so I think it's more appropriate to kill them."

"But you are the guardian of the dragon of justice! Shouldn't the heavens exist to protect human beings?"

"Do you really believe this?" Shen Yi looked at Sarah with teasing eyes: "It exists to protect human beings? Do human beings exist to protect endangered creatures?"

Sarah looked at Shen Yi in a daze, and Shen Yi shook his head: "Stop being naive, Miss Sarah. The protection of the strong for the weak comes from pity and sympathy, but never from responsibility. However, some people have Compassion, some people don’t have it. As for me, my compassion and sympathy only work on the premise that it doesn’t affect my existence. I’m happy to save people, and I’m also happy to be a good person. But sacrifice myself to save people… …sorry, I'm not that noble."

Seeing the speechless bitterness on Sarah's face, Shen Yi smiled: "But at least you have changed my previous impression of you. It can be seen that you have a good heart. Although I am not a good person myself, I have a good heart for you. I still know how to respect people."

Sarah looked up at Shen Yi: "Then what was your impression of me before?"

"You want to hear the truth?"

"certainly."

"Stupid, incompetent, self-righteous, and a little willful and..." Seeing that Sarah's face had turned livid, Shen Yi changed his words in time: "He kind, you are a kind girl."

"I'm not interested in your flattery at all!" Sarah walked forward angrily.

Shen Yi smiled helplessly, and shouted to Sarah: "If you feel unhappy about this, I can apologize to you for what I just said!"

"I'm not interested in your hypocritical apology!"

"Then how about a gift for you?" Shen Yi said suddenly.

Gift?

Sarah Daniel turned around and looked at Shen Yi, who had already taken out a string of necklaces and came to her.

He put the necklace around Sarah's neck: "A small gift, I'm sorry, I hope you can accept it."

Sarah looked at Shen Yi in surprise.

In her impression, necklaces were only given to herself by lovers, but now, this abominable bastard who did dirty things in the name of justice actually gave herself a necklace?

As if seeing what Sarah was thinking, Shen Yi smiled: "Don't be so surprised, it's just a little thought from a friend, let's go, it's time to go back, they are still waiting for us. I hope these masks can help us get through even A peaceful time of the day."

"I lost them." Cage sighed, giving up trying altogether.

Hercules sat on the sofa, his face still calm: "Do you know their last location?"

"The suburbs of Los Angeles. However, due to yesterday's battle, there was a signal blind spot in that area, so I didn't catch up in time. After I solved the problem, I have completely lost their whereabouts, but I can be sure that they are not far away in that area."

"Where's the police station?"

"They couldn't find anyone either."

Hercules thought for a while: "They should have adopted some kind of camouflage method... Adventurers always have many ways to disguise themselves."

"Then what do we do now?" Claudia was a little annoyed.

Chasing and killing the Broken Blade team for a day, not to mention the futility, but Shen Yi took the opportunity to attack and kill Adolf. This feeling is quite bad for Claudia.

As if seeing Claudia's uneasiness, Hercules said softly: "You are impatient, Claudia. Yes, we suffered a small loss yesterday and sacrificed a member. But Claudia Laudia, don't forget that we are still on the winning side. From the very beginning, the family didn't expect to be able to deal with this guy without any damage... If we can see the horror of the other party clearly at the cost of a few lives, then It's also worth it. At least before we came, many of you still didn't take your opponents seriously, thinking that your absolute strength can crush your opponents, but now you should know how to learn a lesson."

You are the one who doesn't care about your opponent, Hercules. Cage slandered in his heart, but he also knew that no matter who he met, Hercules would find a way to single out a match, which had nothing to do with whether he valued his opponent or not.

Claudia replied angrily: "If this is the lesson we exchanged for a life, then I would rather not, I don't think it is very useful."

"That's not necessarily the case." Hercules laughed suddenly: "When you find that your enemy is so difficult, your expectations will be lowered. With lowered expectations, you will be willing to pay some necessary losses. Of course, there are more means to be adopted..."

"What do you mean by that?" Gewahuat was puzzled.

Hercules replied: "It means that if we are willing to pay the price, we still have a chance to inflict heavy damage on our opponent."

He snapped his fingers: "For example...kill Sarah Daniel."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked at the same time.

Ulrike Boman shouted: "Heracles, are you crazy? Our mission is to snatch Sarah Daniel, not kill her. If we kill her, what should we do? Can the mission continue? "

"Of course." Hercules replied: "At best, it means losing the rewards of the first main line, but Dragon Ball will still take shape, and the second mission and optional missions will still go on. The city will never give a chance to give up halfway. Even if there is a task, it will be corrected back to the original track through timely modification.”

Hercules is very sure that killing Sarah will never affect the development of the plot. Years of intelligence gathering by the Dane family have already made him understand the city's behavior style and consistent principles.

"But we will also lose the rewards of the first main line." Cage shouted.

"Yes." Hercules nodded: "But we only lose the rewards, and the opponent will deduct points. I don't know if Shen Yi and the others have prepared enough fines, but what is certain is that there is no reward for the first main line Points, they will no longer be able to get away easily, that is to say, they must complete the second main task. And this is what I am looking forward to."

Claudia understood a bit: "The first main task is to protect Sarah, which allows the Broken Blade team to take her into hiding. But the second main task is to ask Immoji to obtain the Dragon Ball. This task requires a hard fight. , they will no longer have room to maneuver. In this way, our positive advantage has been given a chance to play, unless they plan to give up even the second mission, then they will experience two deduction points...they can't prepare so much Points."

This is what Hercules means.

When you truly recognize the horror of your opponent, if you want to choose to defeat your opponent, sometimes you have to pay some price.

Killing Sarah Daniel, trying not to reward himself, and letting Shen Yi and the others fail their mission is the "price" that Hercules refers to.

If they had planned this way from the beginning, then when Hercules met Shen Yi for the first time, he could kill Sarah Daniel. At that time, Shen Yi was absolutely unstoppable.

It can be said that Hercules missed the best chance to snipe the Broken Blade team.

It was precisely because of this that he learned from the painful experience and gave up the idea of ​​not only destroying Duan Ren, but also completing the task in an all-round way—Shen Yi can take advantage of the task, so why can't he?

"Understood, but those wanderers may not be happy." Claudia said.

"Then tell them, we will compensate for their losses... they can promise as much as they want, and we can promise to be more generous to the dead."

"Then one last question... how do we find them now?"

Hercules replied leisurely: "Some things, if you can't do it yourself, let someone who can do it. Since Shen Yi can use the characters in the plot, so can we. We can't find Sarah Daniel, but it doesn't mean... ...and the dragonflight couldn't find it either."

He raised his head and looked at the people in front of him: "It's time to invite our Bragi-sama and his dragon army to go out. I bet our Bragi-sama must have a great understanding of the existence of the Dragon Ball Bearer." Ordinary perception."

Four p.m.

Inside the steel factory, King Kong and Zhou Yiyu were still working profusely in sweat.

They are continuing to repair and perfect the different dimension killing array.

Zhou Yiyu is in charge of forming the steel. Wherever he puts his fingers, no matter what shape the steel will be automatically deformed into the shape he needs.

King Kong is responsible for the riveting and assembly, especially the installation of the pulley system, so that each room can be moved, thereby increasing the maze variables.

Zhuang Yu and Bei Ming were busy installing traps in each room, making it full of murderous intentions.

As a result, the entire steel plant became extremely strange, with steel materials flying across the sky everywhere, as if a pair of invisible hands were manipulating them, spontaneously completing the assembly and assembly, and turning countless parts into a whole.

There are no patterns, no decorations, every room is glowing with cold metal primary colors, the design is rough but simple and practical, if anyone accidentally walks into the wrong room, all kinds of vicious traps are waiting for it.

"Okay! Start moving!" King Kong waved to the top.

Gently activated the mechanism, and each room in the killing array began to move regularly along the track. The fat man carefully observed the movement of each room, and then shouted: "I feel that there is something wrong with the track in room 12, boss."

Shen Yi has already jumped to room 12, activated the activation ability for that room, he doesn't care where the problem is, if he activates it, all hidden dangers will be solved automatically.

"Okay, it's finished!" With Fatty's announcement, everyone cheered excitedly at the same time.

"Is that all right?" A Kai wandered around in disbelief. It took them less than two days to complete the layout of this different-dimensional killing formation, which looked like a dream.

Shen Yi jumped down from the top, wiped his hands and said: "It can only be said that the basic work has been done in an all-round way. In fact, many external facilities can be added. This killing array also needs a central control system, which can operate according to the law, so that Eliminates the need for manual operation."

"How to deal with the NC program?"

"No need." Shen Yi shook the handheld computer in his hand: "Zeus can do it for you. But it can only solve the problem of the CNC itself. Due to the poor facilities, some places still need to be operated manually, which is what gives me a headache... …we are simply too small.”

"Let me do it," Sarah said suddenly.

"You?" Shen Yi was a little surprised.

"Of course." Sarah shrugged: "I have mastered all the operations, and you are protecting me, so I should contribute my part no matter what."

Shen Yi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "No problem, Ethan, together with Ms. Sarah, you are responsible for the security of the entire central control system. Is there any problem?"

"I'll do my best." Ethan replied.

"Zhuang Yu, add a protective array to the underground control center and tell them how to use it. Hong Lang, go and put four terminators there to protect Sarah and Ethan."

Then Shen Yi took out several weapons from the coat of arms, they were all ordinary firearms, including a rocket launcher. Shen Yi handed the weapons to Sarah and Ethan: "Take these weapons, although these things can cause little damage to those guys, but at least it will give you something to rely on and more courage... I hope you Won't use it."

"I hope so." Sarah smiled and took the weapon.

Shen Yi looked at the time: "OK, rest for half an hour, and then find a place to eat, it's a celebration."

ps: Regarding the language question, let me answer it. From a personal point of view, it is because I prefer the European and American way of speaking. This is a matter of interest, and has nothing to do with patriotism or not. From the perspective of the story, due to the habits of the earth, plus a lot of European and American backgrounds, especially American movies, many exchanges between adventurers are also done in English, and it is not surprising that Chinese people speak American languages. After all, many languages ​​​​are related to the language environment. But this does not mean that I cannot speak Chinese. Friends who have seen my Tianfeng know that I can speak Chinese quite fluently. If there is no accident in the next book, I will write Xianxia, ​​and the language style will change greatly by then. I will never do such a thing as a monk speaking American language.

Finally, this chapter still explains the plot, I really want to get into the exciting plot quickly (I think), but it depends on the state of today, I am a little stuck, I can’t guarantee whether to add more... I hope I can break through.
