Chapter 1550: Clearance

"Lu Mingfei."

Lin Nian turned his wheelchair back to Barbarossa and Anna at the table, motioning Lu Mingfei to come closer.

"What?" Lu Mingfei lowered his head and approached Lin Nian in the wheelchair.

"." Lin Nian looked at his clear, stupid and uncontaminated puzzled expression, and couldn't say what he wanted to say, so he sighed.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, thinking, did you call me over just to sigh at my face? Are you my class teacher or my aunt, how come you have learned this trick?

Lin Nian actually wanted to tell Lu Mingfei that he was a little tired, and asked if we should just be straightforward and arrest all the insiders and torture them one by one until they are willing to tell everything they know.

But after thinking about it, even if all the insiders of Atlantis were arrested and tortured to get information, it would not solve anything. If they knew the information, they would definitely use it, and they would have to find that inexplicable Atlantis, but Lin Nian's bottom line was that he didn't want to touch that Atlantis.

What's the use of torturing the information?

Lin Nian played a lot with the riddle man, and his experience in fighting was also very rich. He was tired of playing high-end games. Now he occasionally played casual games, and in just a few words, he found out the important key to the hidden problem.

There are three problems that he has noticed hidden by these people.

Barbarossa's source of gold.

As a pirate, he fought for a legend at the cost of an unknown amount of gold, but it would definitely not be less, and Barbarossa did not seem to have that kind of fanatical belief in this legend. This matter itself seems a bit weird, which is a doubtful point.

Barbarossa learned the source of the information about the so-called "right time, right place, and right people" gold throwing time.

He has kept silent about this, but he seems to have inexplicable confidence. There is a big story here. Maybe there is a hidden line, or there is some force behind him, not just a pirate working with a group of thugs and a mob.

The reason why Anna chose Barbarossa.

It is not a good idea to drive the wolf to swallow the tiger, especially since Anna herself is still a lamb and may be swallowed by the wolf at any time, but she still chooses to take the risk and approach Barbarossa.

It can be understood that Anna does not want to go to the island alone, or thinks that landing on Atlantis alone is useless, so she will do her best to win over anyone she can, such as Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei, even pirates like Barbarossa.

Any suspicious point may explode at any time, triggering various unstable factors to affect the situation. Most of the plots are the kind of people who are on the same boat, hiding things from each other, and suddenly encounter a crisis. After finally coping with the crisis, they start to fight internally over the mismatch of intelligence. Halfway through the internal fighting, they find that it seems to be useless, so they start to cooperate to deal with the crisis. In the end, they stop acting and fight each other for the sake of interests. It's a life-and-death struggle. Either they die together or the winner takes all.

Too familiar, too familiar, this rhythm.

Lin Nian touched his forehead. He probably guessed what the development of Anna and Barbarossa will be next.

So what he is doing now is not to help Anna out of kindness for Lu Mingfei's sake, but to bring these shitty things together in a logical way and let them continue to follow this script.

According to this rhythm, when he turns around, Barbarossa will agree to Anna's request to board the ship after "deliberate consideration". The two sides will shake hands and cooperate happily. One side will provide the ticket to Atlantis, and the other side will provide the direction of Atlantis. At the same time, one side's goal is the gold treasure on the island, and the other side's goal is to find his mother.

It seems that there is no conflict, but Lin Nian guarantees that in the end, one of Barbarossa and Anna will die. As for who will die, Lin Nian prefers Barbarossa, this pirate leader with some qualifications looks very smart, but he will eventually die from the dimensionality reduction attack.

The Wittelsbach family is the hammer of this dimensionality reduction attack. Sooner or later, it will hit his head and let him know what the consequences of doing things against the mixed-blood family are, and Anna. He doesn't know what Wittelsbach's means are in this regard, but it is likely that he will not get a good result.

But it doesn't matter.

Lin Nian thought about it and turned his wheelchair back. He just happened to see Barbarossa and Anna shaking hands across the table. They both seemed very satisfied with the cooperation project. This is the state of each having their own ulterior motives.

The more this happened, the less Lin Nian wanted to care. He had the disease of wanting to quit and leave when he saw the Riddler.

Seriously speaking, if Anna A. Campbell, this woman, had completely confessed all the information she had, as well as all her motives and purposes when she first met Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei, and sincerely asked for help, and lowered her attitude, maybe Lin Nian would really help.

But it was obviously impossible. Logically speaking, Anna A. Campbell was being hunted by a group of mixed-bloods. She was already confused about the existence of mixed-bloods. She ran into two mixed-bloods who looked more ruthless and more prestigious. She definitely didn't dare to tell everything. It was brave enough to talk about her mother on the plane and try to play the emotional card.

So, people can never understand each other. Everyone has their own innate prejudices against others. Lin Nian does not expect Anna to treat him and Lu Mingfei as saviors, but if she does not do so, they have no reason to go through this trouble for her.

Even if Lu Mingfei already has this tendency, he is still slightly restrained. After being beaten and plotted against in the past year or two, he is no longer the young man he used to be. Besides, he is indeed a kind person in his bones, but he still has a character that is afraid of trouble.

"It seems that you two have reached a consensus, so there is nothing for us to do next." Lin Nian looked at Anna and Barbarossa respectively, nodded slightly and said.

"Wait. In other words, you two really came here to lobby for Miss Anna? Just to persuade me to take Miss Anna with me to find Atlantis?" Barbarossa still looked at Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei with some confusion.

Now that he has finally reached an agreement with Anna, he can't help but bring up this matter again.

It can be said that 90% of the credit for him and Anna to reach an agreement now belongs to Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei. If it weren't for the two of them, Anna would most likely be kicked out of the bar, and someone would be sent to follow her. She would be kidnapped halfway through the night and tortured in a small dark room. The method of torture is also self-evident.

A group of pirates and a young Spanish girl, there is nothing new about the story, it is a cliché plot, but people can't help but love to watch it, and it is always new.

"I said, I have no interest in Atlantis." Lin Nian shook his head and said.

"I don't believe that no one is not interested in gold, especially when it is within reach." Barbarossa looked at Lin Nian carefully, as if he wanted to see some evasive and hidden expressions on the face of this young man.

But it is obvious that he does not have a sister who studies psychology, nor is he often tortured by a psychologist, so he can't pass Lin Nian's test in micro-expression.

Teacher Masashi Toyama is beginning to have a headache about Lin Nian's expression management. If he can see Lin Nian's expression fluctuations, will Lin Nian's PTSD treatment course be green-lit next time?

"You think that Atlantis is full of gold, which is just your imagination. You pursued Atlantis for gold, so you subjectively linked Atlantis with gold. You are the kind of people who expect and break defense without authorization." Lin Nian said lightly.

"Everyone has different expectations for Atlantis. Flora's imagination of Atlantis is a relic of an ancient civilization and a paradise for different cultures. The discovery of Atlantis is like the discovery of the New World for the entire human race, or the discovery that there is water on Mars, and there are Martians' baits in the water." Barbarossa shrugged and said, "But we are different. We are vulgar people. Vulgar people only see gold, pure, golden, 99% pure precious metals, which can bring private jets, manors, and high-heeled glasses full of Lafite on the waist and hips."

"Well, it is indeed very vulgar." Lin Nian nodded and commented.

"But no one dislikes it." Barbarossa said, "But I'm also curious, um, I still don't seem to know how to address you two?"

"No need for any formal address, after tonight we will never see each other again, adding an insignificant name to our memory will only burden each other's hippocampus." Lin Nian said.

"Very poisonous, but I like it, I'll remember this sentence." Barbarossa grinned and said, "My friend, I'm curious about what you think of Atlantis? Since you know so much, don't tell me that you have no expectations or fantasies about Atlantis?"

"Overtime." Lin Nian said.

"What?" Barbarossa obviously didn't understand.

"Literally." Lin Nian shook his head and said, "You don't need to know who we are, or why we are here. You only need to know our attitude. We are only on the sidelines regarding Atlantis, and we sincerely advise anyone who wants to go to that island to do one thing."

Looking at the eyes cast by Anna and Barbarossa, Lin Nian said, "That is to give up this unrealistic dream of gold and stay away from that island. It is not a treasure island, nor an ancient relic. It is just--"

"Strictly speaking, it should be considered a site of ancient civilization, right? It will be very troublesome if it is discovered." Lu Mingfei touched the back of his head and said.

No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak.

Lin Nian was convinced by him, but he could only nod reluctantly, which made Anna's eyes light up-this woman is also a college student majoring in archaeology. I think she is also very interested in such sites and ruins. While looking for her mother, the tadpole did not forget to study ancient times to enrich her future life resume.

"So Atlantis is really Atlantis? I thought people called it Atlantis just because it was mysterious and hidden in the sea." Barbarossa asked tentatively.

"It seems that you two don't take my advice seriously, so there is no need for me to say anything more."

Good words can't persuade the damn ghost. Lin Nian has no hobby of being a good guy, unless the person in trouble is his friend.

Lin Nian turned his head to look at Lu Mingfei to indicate that he had done what he should do. If the two of them wanted to follow up further, it would mean officially wading into this muddy water.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Anna and felt that he had done his best.

Lin Nian was about to ask Lu Mingfei to push him back to the palace, but suddenly, he heard footsteps steadily walking towards them in the noisy bar, and soon walked behind Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei, who was still slacking off, did not react at all when someone approached him. It was probably because the alcohol and the noise of the bar confused his perception.

It seems that Lu Mingfei has to be taught more lessons in private. Since he has been targeted by the emperor, he should not make such low-level mistakes again.

Lu Mingfei was suddenly patted on the shoulder. He was startled and wanted to react in a stressful way, but was slightly pulled back by Lin Nian. He turned around and saw a platinum-haired girl wearing a cool tank top standing behind him.

Lu Mingfei swore that for a moment he had a vision of another Russian girl standing in front of him, but it was only for a moment, because the Russian girl he knew was much shorter, far less beautiful and tall than the one in front of him, like a cypress tree, wanting everyone who saw it to brighten their eyes and climb up a little.

The white tank top and super short denim hot pants, the exposed skin was as white as the snow in Siberia, under the illumination of the laser light, the elf-like face was painted with fluorescent body painting, and Lu Mingfei only then realized that many people in the bar seemed to have this kind of painting, as if they were having some kind of party.

The beautiful Russian girl had a reserved smile on her face, biting her lips slightly, and looked at Lu Mingfei with her hands behind her back, then looked at the other people at the table, raised her hand and said hello, "Hi——"
