Volume 20, Chapter 12: Deception

I have already thought about Hades' worries, but Hades and I have different ideas. It is true that Aphrodite suddenly ran back to the Olympus Protoss, which is indeed quite strange. Moreover, after she returned, she contacted various members of the Olympus Protoss and talked with them about some unforgettable topics, which would attract others' attention. the behavior of. But what about being noticed?

Aphrodite has a very strong relationship among the Olympus gods, and her status is not low. Unless Zeus is determined to kill her, the average Olympus god will be suspicious at most. Start the investigation first. If you really want to take action, you have to wait until the information is roughly investigated before you can start. However, our plan will start operation in as soon as two or three days, or as late as one week. In such a short time, even if the other party investigated carefully, they would not be able to find anything at all. After all, the time was too short.

Because of this idea, I don't care if Aphrodite is suspected. As long as she is willing to help us, we can easily make up a lie about escaping with difficulty. If that doesn't work, we can even cooperate with her in a painful trick, which will make the credibility even higher. Although no matter how we act, this lie will eventually be exposed, but we don't expect it to never be exposed anyway. As long as this lie can persist for more than a week, it is enough for us.

When Hades raised his question, several other Chaos and Order gods also expressed concerns, and I expressed my views. After listening, everyone pondered for a while, and then all expressed that the plan was feasible. After all, we only need to deceive the Olympus Protoss for a week. As Aphrodite in such a short period of time, it is really difficult for anyone to find out any real problems. When they really find out By that time, we had already finished our work and evacuated. By then, they would not be able to find anyone to deal with Aphrodite.

Now that everyone accepted the plan, I immediately started taking action. First of all, of course, we have to ask Aphrodite if she is willing to accept our assignment. Of course, this matter cannot be carried out through equal consultation. After all, Aphrodite is now half of our captives, and it is impossible to communicate on an equal basis with a being like her.

When I saw Aphrodite, she was studying a magic notebook alone. This thing was one of the technical materials from our guild library. The book Aphrodite read was only a peripheral reading, but it introduced many techniques in more detail. Speaking of which, the magic methods of the Olympus Protoss are relatively crude, and they rarely pay attention to technical aspects. Therefore, this kind of reading is quite useful for Olympus Protoss like Aphrodite. of.

When she heard the door open, Aphrodite immediately turned around, but when she saw me, she immediately frowned. But because I threatened her last time, she didn't behave too much.

After staring at me for a while, Aphrodite finally decided to play passive resistance with me through non-violent non-cooperation. She just looked at me directly without saying a word. I certainly don't care about her behavior, which is almost like a child throwing a tantrum.

"Still unwilling to cooperate with us?" Looking at Aphrodite sitting there with an angry look, I deliberately sat on the chair opposite her carelessly and asked.

Aphrodite stared at me for a while, but still didn't say a word, obviously intending to carry out non-violent non-cooperation to the end.

Seeing that she still didn't respond, I said to myself: "I think you know the current situation of the Olympus Protoss better than I do. Without the help of Hades and the others, the Olympus Protoss must have suffered a lot. Most of the power. But I think although this is a loss, it is not a bad thing for the Olympus Protoss."

Aphrodite, who had been silent at first, immediately became brighter after hearing my words. She clearly wanted to speak, but she swallowed the words as soon as they reached her lips. Although she still didn't say a word, I knew that her attention had been successfully attracted to me.

"I know you must think what I said is unreliable, but it is a fact. Hades and the others were able to defect, which shows that their minds are no longer with Zeus. This time it just allowed them to leave Olympus The Protoss, for the Olympus Protoss, this is just the loss of a force. But, have you ever thought about it. If Hades and him were facing a decisive battle between the two major temples of light and darkness in Europe and the Olympus Protoss The Hades family suddenly turned against each other, so what would the Olympus Protoss lose?"

Aphrodite's body trembled when she heard my words, and I knew she had thought of the consequences. I didn't continue talking, but gave her time to think. After waiting for a few minutes, Aphrodite finally couldn't help but speak.

"Why are you telling me all this? Regardless of whether Hades's defection is good or bad for the Olympus Protoss, it has already happened. Is it meaningful to discuss such a thing?"

"Yes, it does not make much sense to discuss something that has already happened, but what if it is about to happen?"

"What do you mean?" Aphrodite looked at me nervously and asked.

I deliberately waited for a while until Aphrodite was about to go crazy and then suddenly continued: "Actually, you should know very well in your heart that the Olympus Protoss cannot be a united whole. There must be some among them, even A large group of people do not want to stay in the Olympus Protoss. These people are just like Hades back then. They are time bombs buried in the Olympus Protoss. The only difference is that Hades The bomb left the Olympus Protoss without exploding, but the remaining bombs are still hidden inside the Olympus Protoss, waiting for the opportunity to explode."

"What do you want to do by saying this?" Although Aphrodite is not very smart among the gods, she is definitely not a fool. She knows that I will not say this to her for no reason.

Since Aphrodite took the initiative to ask, I simply said directly: "My purpose is very simple. I want to help the Olympus Protoss find these time bombs."

"Are you so nice? Do you think I am a three-year-old?" Aphrodite looked at me with contempt and said.

I completely turned a blind eye to Aphrodite's ridicule and continued: "No matter what my starting point is, my purpose is to find these time bombs and remove them from the Olympus Protoss. I can guarantee this.”

Although Aphrodite is not very good at all kinds of conspiracies, she is somewhat familiar with the situation. After hearing what I said, she quickly thought of the reason. "You want to draw these people into your guild like Hades?"

Because what happened next required Aphrodite's full cooperation, I didn't intend to lie to her. When she asked, I nodded directly and said: "Yes, I just want to recruit these people to our guild. Those people staying in the Olympus Protoss will be a hidden danger sooner or later. Now they are not doing it just because they have no chance, and Once they are ready to take action, it must be that the Olympus Protoss has encountered a huge crisis of annihilation. At this moment, if something goes wrong internally, you know what the consequences will be."

Aphrodite pondered for a while and then suddenly asked: "You must be telling me this because you want me to do something, so what exactly do you want me to do?"

I smiled and said: "Actually, it's not too complicated. I just want you to explore the voices of everyone in the Olympus Protoss to see if they are dissatisfied with the Olympus Protoss itself. , or there is a possibility of rebellion.”

"Is it that simple?" Aphrodite instinctively felt that what I did could not be so gentle, but what I said was indeed not harmful. It was like doing a simple attack on the Olympus Protoss. If the relationship between me and the Olympus Protoss hadn't been so tense, Zeus would have carried out this request directly, and it would have been even more intensive than the investigation I requested. some. However, although Aphrodite didn't understand what benefit this would have to me, she was not stupid enough to agree immediately. She asked again: "I don't believe you are so kind and want to help the Olympus Protoss eliminate traitors."

"I said before, I don't want to do good deeds, I just want to dig these people into our guild. If the Olympus Protoss were to investigate directly, they would definitely not be able to find a few, and most of them would probably rebel. People will hide, and this kind of in-depth investigation will inevitably affect internal unity, which is definitely not worth the loss for you. But I only need you to investigate the general situation, just to hear the whispers, and then I will contact these people, In the end, those who are willing to leave with us must be those who are likely to rebel. Those who are unwilling to leave mean that they will be loyal to the Olympus Protoss in the future. You can rest assured to leave your back to him. In this way, your Olympus Protoss will not change. More unity and unity? Of course, I also benefited from it, at least those gods who left the Olympus Protoss became my subordinates. How about it? Is this situation a win-win situation? "

Aphrodite was a little confused by my words. It seems that what I said is indeed beneficial to the Olympus Protoss, and my motives are also obvious, there is nothing hidden. But after thinking about it carefully, Aphrodite felt that something was not quite right, but she just couldn't figure it out for the moment.

I knew that Aphrodite's mind must be in chaos at this moment, so I deliberately didn't give her time to think, and immediately threw out the bait. "Don't worry, this plan is good for us and the Olympus Protoss, and even for you. We can sign a guarantee agreement with you, and we will release you and let you return to the Olympus Protoss. As a deal, , you must help us listen to the whispers of those Olympus protoss. After that, you give us a list of which protoss are likely to rebel. Even if the agreement is over, there will be no relationship between us in the future. What do you think of this proposal?" Aphrodite was still a little hesitant, so I added directly: "Don't worry, we released you first, so you can help us investigate the information. Even if you have to break the contract, you will break the contract, and we will pay the price first. In this way, you What else is there to be afraid of?" ..
