Chapter 840
"So, what is your purpose?"
"Can you answer this question?"
"Mr. Zeus."
Chapter 1149 Hermes realized it
As the words "Mr. Zeus" fell from Hermes' mouth, the corners of Su Jin's mouth also turned up little by little. He tilted his head slightly and asked Hermes without admitting or denying:
"When did you find out?"
When he heard these words, Hermes' pupils suddenly dilated, and his heart slowed down for a beat. He took a step back and said:
"It's really you?"
Hermes's expression was filled with disbelief and disbelief.
But after subconsciously saying this, he immediately turned around and ran towards his destination.
However, the moment he turned his head and raised his feet, Hermes' head suddenly fell into confusion.
He stood there stupidly, as if he had forgotten whether to walk with his left foot first or his right foot first.
It was at this time that he saw ripples rising in the atmosphere beside Su Jin.
A young man with blond hair and blue eyes, handsome but with dull eyes, whose clothes and shoes were decorated with wings, appeared next to Su Jin.
The moment the young man appeared, Hermes felt a strong impulse in his heart.
An 'impulse' to merge with that blond boy.
This impulse seemed to come from instinct, from the soul, so much so that Hermes could not restrain it, even if he bit the tip of his tongue, he could not suppress it. He could only be controlled by that impulse, and kept getting closer to the blond boy.
However, just as the distance between the two was shortened to less than two meters, the impulse suddenly weakened.
Thanks to this, blood flowed from the corner of Hermes' mouth. Relying on the pain, he quickly jumped away, pulled away a distance, and looked at Su Jin in shock.
At this time, the handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, with a bandage hidden on his hand, looked at Hermes with a smile, while the blond boy who was unable to resist Hermes was like a servant, Standing beside him.
"Isn't this surprise interesting?"
Hearing Su Jin's questioning, the shocked Hermes wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, tried hard to control his eyes, looked at the blond boy next to him, and asked:
"who is he?"
Su Jin did not answer directly, but showed a playful smile:
"Didn't you already guess it?"
"..." Hermes fell into a brief silence, and not long after, he showed a bitter smile: "I never thought that I myself was also an enemy."
That almost essential attraction gave Hermes a frightening thought.
"Did you capture me when I was in the lower realm? Then who am I now? Is it Hermes? Or is it a puppet you made?"
After hearing these words, Su Jin's face became a little weird, he clapped his hands and said:
"I have to say, your idea is very creative."
"But please don't worry, you are indeed Hermes himself. As for Him..."
Su Jin turned his head, looked at the dull-eyed blond boy next to him, and then smiled:
"You can understand him as the Hermes of another world."
"A Hermes who is far more powerful than you."
"...The theory of parallel worlds? I never thought that the speculations of those human sages would actually have empirical evidence."
Hermes looked at Su Jin with cold sweat on his forehead, and he was pessimistic about whether he could successfully exonerate himself.
"If I say what I said just now, Mr. Zeus, is completely deceiving you, will you let me go?"
Su Jin felt inconvenienced when he heard this look, so he just said indifferently with a smile:
"When did you have the illusion that I was deceived by you?"
Hearing these words, Hermes felt a chill go straight from his tailbone into his mind.
The next thing in his mind couldn't help but ask: "You had no intention of hiding your identity from the beginning?"
When Hermes said this, he could no longer hold back the impulse in his heart. He looked at his other self next to Su Jin and said:
"You planned to replace myself with another me from the beginning?"
"No, it's more than that..." Hermes' eyes widened at this time, and he said in horror: "Freya is yours?!"
Su Jin raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled:
"Finally discovered?"
Hermes staggered back two steps and fell onto the dirt road with a look of shock on his face.
The reason why he suspected Su Jin, or the reason why he and Ouranos suspected something was wrong with Su Jin, was entirely because of the complete report on the Istar Familia submitted by Freya.
In it, Freya has been blurred in many places.
But there was only one detail that Freya did not hide.
That was the matter of Su Jin calling himself Mr. Zeus in front of Freya.
Although Freya used in the report document, "This is a strategy that Su Jin discussed with himself to defraud the mastermind behind the scenes."
But both Ouranos and Hermes saw a little bit of something fishy in the report.
For example, Freya stated that it was because she obtained ‘Ishtar’s attempt to replicate the magic of Sanjo Noharuhime to defeat the Freya Familia. ’, and vaguely heard the news that Ishtar was controlled by Zeus, so he broke into Longtan alone and forced Ishtar into the palace.
But in fact this behavior is very unreliable.
After all, the magic of the Treasure Hammer has only appeared for less than a week, and even Sanjono Haruki herself has not been informed of the existence of this magic by Istar. It is very likely that only Istar herself knows the existence of this magic from beginning to end.
So the question is, where did Freya receive this news?
Was it through the secret intelligence channel that she did not specify in the report?
When did she, Freya, have such an intelligence network?
Moreover, Freya did not bring Ota with her when she broke into the Istar family alone, but brought Su Jin with her, and asked Su Jin to call himself Mr. Zeus, which violated Freya's usual logic of action.
And this behavior that violated Freya's character was actually a great success, directly exposing the mastermind behind the control of the Istar family.
··········
This had to make Hermes and Uranus have a suspicion.
That suspicion was that 'from beginning to end, this riot defined by the gods as the Istar incident was a drama thrown out by the mastermind and directed by himself. '
'And his purpose is most likely to control Freya, who is also a goddess of beauty, by giving up Ishtar's attempt to get rid of control. '
Uranus even suspected that the man behind the scenes had special abilities against the goddess of beauty, so he chose to control the goddess of beauty twice, and suspected that Su Jin was one of the key figures in this plan.
And Hermes also agreed with Uranus's guess on this point.
So he took on the task of probing Su Jin's mouth on the way to capture Zeus.
At the same time, Hermes also took on a secret mission assigned by Uranus.
That is to confirm Loki and Freya's guesses, and confirm with all the gods outside who trained Su Jin, the ancient hero who emerged in modern times.
………………
But now, Hermes got another possibility from Su Jin.
That is, all the doubts were deliberately leaked by Su Jin.
This so-called point is simply a trap, a trap to catch smart people!
Thinking of this terrible possibility, Hermes said with a cold sweat on his forehead:
"Is your target me? No, I am not worthy of such a thing. Your target is Uranus?!"
Speaking of this, Hermes thought of the most terrible possibility and couldn't help but say:
"You don't want to pretend to be Zeus at all, but Uranus!"
After Hermes' sharp voice fell, Su Jin raised his hands and gently clapped his right hand on the palm of his left hand.
Snap, snap! Snap!
The crisp applause rang out.
Su Jin looked at Hermes with a smile, and looked at him deeply and said:
"You seem to know too much, Mr. Messenger."
"And the end of knowing too much..."
Su Jin raised his fingers, and a little bit of light golden light appeared on the surface of his slender fingertips.
"Heh, hum hum hum!"
At this time, Hermes suddenly hugged his arms and laughed softly.
It seemed to be very low at the beginning, but it became louder and louder later, until it turned into an exaggerated laugh.
"Hahaha!"
"Do you think I would come to see you, the mastermind, without any preparation?"
Hermes smiled wantonly and pointed at Su Jin with his index finger, then turned around and pointed at himself with his thumb and said:
"Look carefully, this is the escape route I chose!"
He jumped up as he spoke, and under Su Jin's curious gaze, he lay on the ground with his limbs like a frog, shouting:
"I surrender, don't kill me!!"
Su Jin's raised fingertips froze in mid-air.
Chapter 1150 Hermes, the Guide
Looking at Hermes prostrating himself in front of him, Su Jin fell into silence.
At this time, Hermes, who was pounding the ground, had cold sweat on his face.
It's over, it's over, will he kill me directly? I've only lived for more than 100 million years, and I'm still a child. I don't want to die at all!
But then again, why is this person in front of him who can kill even gods not a god?
Didn't Uranus guess that Su Jin might be a human hero cultivated by the mastermind? But why do I feel that he is the boss behind the scenes!
Why let me, a neutral child who can only deliver letters, face this ultimate boss?
Shouldn't this kind of thing be done by Uranus and his people?
Just when Hermes was extremely nervous, he thought about it, and finally put down his hand and put the means back into his pocket.
"Honestly..." Su Jin looked at Hermes in front of him with a complicated expression: "Do you people named Hermes like to be traitors?"
"What?"
Hermes looked up in astonishment, and then thought of something, and hurriedly said seriously:
"You are worthy of you, you can even see through the possibility that I may be pretending to surrender and actually want to secretly pass on information."
"But please rest assured, although I, Hermes, am a person who loves to lie and cheat, I also know the words of loyalty and righteousness."
"Okay, okay."
Su Jin waved his hand to stop Hermes from speaking next, thinking that the other party was talking nonsense.
After all, the Hermes in front of him is probably only slightly more moral than the Hermes in the box garden. If we really talk about loyalty, anyone who believes it is a fool.
"I don't care whether you really surrender or not, it doesn't mean much to me anyway."
Su Jin looked down at Hermes who was prostrating himself in front of him, and just asked calmly:
"What is Uranus's purpose?"
"To find out your origins from the gods outside, and to try to see if you can get information about the mastermind behind the scenes, and if possible, try to persuade him to defect."
Hermes glanced at Su Jin, and then quickly told him everything Uranus had told him.
Now is the critical moment to survive, so he naturally has to explain the matter in detail.
As for whether he can secretly leak information in the future, it depends on whether he can survive.
As for this, Hermes only holds a pessimistic attitude.
