Chapter 1683: Make a Plan
Yekarina expressed her dissatisfaction with Ripple's lateness before anyone else could speak.
Lianyi said embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry for making everyone wait for me. It's my fault. I will come earlier next time."
Neither Jim nor Vincent said anything, just once in a while not enough to make them angry.
The four of them then took a car and headed to the patrol area. Due to the previous appearance of demonized people, the hunter organization had stepped up patrols in some sensitive areas.
Especially after Klinsmann made the antidote to "Heaven", most of the hidden dangers have been eliminated, but some humans are still irreversibly demonized. Even taking the antidote is useless. These demons People are the targets of shadow hunters.
They were paired up in pairs, keeping a distance of fifty meters from each other, and patrolling in a certain alley.
Vincent and Ripple were talking for a while, but their eyes were still looking around cautiously. Because of the blessing of divine inscriptions, their eyes could see things even in the dark, and they could see very clearly.
Suddenly Ripple's ears twitched and said to Vincent:
"Jim and the others are in trouble, let's go help."
At this time, Vincent also heard the noise coming from the front and immediately ran towards the place where the accident occurred.
At this time, Jim and Yekarina were dealing with five demonized people who came out of nowhere, and it was obvious that Yekarina had received more attacks.
Ripple's eyes flashed, and he immediately came to Yekarina's side, swung his sword to block the sharp claws of the demonized man, and then said softly in a voice that only two people could hear:
"Fake injury."
At this time, Yekarina was hitting another demonized person away with a stick. After listening to Ripple's words, her movements paused. Then when the demonized person rushed towards her again, she used the power of the opponent's claws to lift herself. It flew out and hit the wall of the alley.
"Ekarina!"
Jim exclaimed, sped up his movements, and cooperated with Vincent to deal with the demon who had been blocking him. He turned and ran towards the injured Yekarina, who had already "fainted" at this time.
After Lianyi swung his sword and cut the demon in the way in half, he immediately came to his teammates and said apologetically:
"It was my fault. I didn't cooperate well with Yekarina, which made her injured."
Jim frowned tightly, picked up Princess Yekarina, and said to Ripple and Vincent:
"I'll take Yekarina back to the headquarters first, and you two will continue patrolling."
"But."
Vincent wanted to say that this was against the rules. This was a team mission. Now there were two people missing and they were newbies. What if they ran into trouble?
But Jim was obviously more concerned about the situation of his partner in his arms, and interrupted somewhat rudely:
"Don't worry about it. Now that we have completed two-thirds of the patrol, the remaining one-third should be fine for you two. You are familiar with the environment with us, and you will have to perform tasks alone sooner or later. This time you will be It's a start."
After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to nod, he drove Yekarina away.
Vincent could only retract his hand, shrugged at Ripple and said:
"Obviously we are not as important as Ekarina."
"It doesn't matter how long they have been together, not to mention that the two of them are still childhood sweethearts. It's normal for Jim to be more nervous about Yekarina, so don't complain.
Jim is right about what he said. Sooner or later we will have to carry out the task independently. Let’s treat today as our first attempt. Let’s go! "
Ripple patted Vincent on the shoulder and walked into the darkness first.
Vincent scratched his curls and followed suit.
After the two successfully completed the remaining patrol missions, they returned to the headquarters.
"Vincent, you go and hand in the task first, and I'll go check on Yekarina's condition."
Ripple said to his partner.
"Okay, I'll find you after I finish the task."
After the two separated, Ripple went to the medical room. If Yekarina understood what she meant, she should wait in the medical room.
After knocking on the door and entering, he saw Filot. He was writing hard at his desk. He didn't know what he was writing. He took the time to look up at Ripple and said:
"Ekarina is inside, go and have a look! I sent Jim away."
"OK."
Ripple walked into the lounge inside and saw Yekarina lying on the bed. At this time, she also heard the movement. She opened her eyes and saw it was Ripple and sat up.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just two broken ribs. Master Philot has already healed me, but he sent Jim away and asked me to stay here and said he wanted to observe him for one night."
"Okay, then I'll keep the story short."
Ripple had already noticed Yekarina's awkwardness, and obviously Filot had already mentioned his unreliable method of diverting Jim's attention.
"Master Philot has told me"
Yekarina coughed slightly and then said.
"Don't listen to him, his methods are unreliable and can easily arouse suspicion.
If I was really interested in Jim, we had many opportunities to enhance our relationship before, so why did I choose to approach him now? This would arouse his vigilance. "
Yekarina looked much more relaxed after hearing this, then looked at the ripples and said:
"Then how do you plan to distract Jim?"
"It's simple. Your injury this time is a good opportunity."
Lianyi showed her small white teeth and smiled a little cunningly.
Yekarina blinked, as if she had thought of something, and said uncertainly:
"You mean you want to take advantage of my injury to make things worse?"
"No, you want to ruin our relationship. From now on, whenever we are in the same group, we will be at loggerheads."
Lianyi explained bluntly.
"We?"
Ekaterina didn't understand for a moment.
"Yes, we! This time you can say that you got injured because I didn't pay attention when I supported you, didn't cooperate well, and caused you to get injured. Otherwise, how could an old hunter like you get injured?
This excuse is very reasonable and there will be no loopholes. From now on, as long as our group performs tasks, you should pick on me as much as possible, and then complain to Jim from time to time, so that he feels that you pay more attention to me, so that he can start the next step.
You have been in and out with him for so long, and he didn't do anything. I guess it may be because he is familiar with the environment or looking for an opportunity to attack. Secondly, it is your intentional or unintentional surveillance that makes him vigilant.
Today you were attacked in the alley, and Jim's idea was obviously to seriously injure you and then take the opportunity to get out of your sight."
After listening to Lianyi's analysis, Yekaterina instantly understood Lianyi's intentions, and she immediately nodded and said:
"No problem, the more we are tit-for-tat, the more unexpected we will be when we join forces."
Lianyi smiled and nodded, it seems that the other party fully understood her meaning.
"Then let's act out tomorrow and see what he wants to do."
"I know. Master Philot has told me that he has contacted Wizard Klinsmann. When the matter is almost investigated, he will use the excuse of asking Wizard Klinsmann to maintain the defensive magic circle, and then take down the other party."
