——Took the bait!
Xiaolin raised his water glass to hide the smirk on his lips.
High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey. It seems that the little trick just now was not wasted, and it was not in vain for him to try so hard to pretend to be stupid and expose his flaws.
From the beginning, he was acting.
Pretend to be a countryman who comes to the capital and wants to make a name for himself and make a lot of money but is afraid of being cheated by others.
People like this can be found everywhere in the imperial capital, the only difference is that Xiaolin has an imperial weapon.
Of course, if Krillin was a bad guy, even if he was an imperial weapon user, Main, who did things according to her own preferences, would probably pass him by in her heart.
But who can blame Xiaolin for being a good person? He is a good person who returned his lost money!
This is a plus!
Even though there had been some minor unpleasantness before, Main thought it was just Kobayashi's personality.
"What should I do after this?"
"Just follow my instructions!"
Main took Xiaolin's arm and walked out of the tavern in a hurry.
I thought she would take me directly to the secret base for the night raid, but I didn't expect that the two of them would go shopping in the imperial capital first.
She was happy, but Xiaolin suffered.
On the grounds that she was frail, she half-forced Kobayashi to help her carry a large number of goods.
It was not until the evening that Main, with a satisfied look on her face, walked towards the city gate with Kobayashi, who was covered in big bags.
After leaving the city and walking along the official road in the opposite direction of the imperial capital, the area around us became increasingly sparsely populated.
Xiaolin realized that she was going to take him to the secret base for the night raid.
In order to prevent her from getting suspicious, Xiaolin took the initiative and pretended to have no energy left and complained, "Myne, how far is it? I'm tired."
"You're complaining of being tired right after leaving the city gate. What a useless man." Marin swung her twin ponytails and looked at him with some disgust.
Kobayashi was irritated by her look, and his pretended unhappiness became real. He raised his hands and motioned her to look at the bags hanging on his body.
"Whose fault do you think it is?"
"Well……"
Main felt a little embarrassed, but because of her tsundere personality, she didn't want to admit her mistake and instead put the blame on Kobayashi.
"Then why don't you let her have it?"
She pointed at Liu Zi.
Xiao Lin said dissatisfiedly: "Liu Zi is a weak girl like you. How could I let her carry heavy objects?"
Do you think the imperial weapon is a weak girl?
Although Liu Zi looks similar to Maine, she's one of the forty-eight imperial weapons, possessing immense power! You actually said she's a weak girl like you?!
Marin curled her lips and said nothing more.
Walked some distance further.
Xiao Lin asked again, "Ma Yin, where are you taking me? Why are you getting further and further away?"
"I'm going to take you to meet the former general of the empire. She lives in such a remote place to avoid the harassment of the ministers in the imperial capital. She rarely takes action. You must thank me afterward!"
She must be talking about the killer team leader Najeshitan.
While hinting to Kobayashi that he was going to meet an important person, which made him look forward to it, Main ignored some minor details that might arouse suspicion.
Little did she know that Xiaolin had already seen through her and was just cooperating with her.
"So what should I pay attention to?"
Xiao Lin pretended to be a little nervous and asked, "Look, I'm from the countryside. It wouldn't be good if I accidentally bumped into her."
"No need to be so cautious, Bo... well, that gentleman is quite easy to talk to. You're an Imperial Tool User and you'll definitely be valued. I'm sure of that."
Main seems to be very optimistic about Xiaolin.
But this did not reassure Xiao Lin. He would ask again every once in a while, and his uneasy look made him look like a recent graduate about to be interviewed.
At first, Marin would explain patiently, but later she became annoyed and just kept walking forward.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Kobayashi stopped bothering her.
After walking for a long time and passing through dense woods, they came to a cliff with a wide view.
It was already dark by then.
Seeing the familiar black shadow, the annoyed Marin's mood became cheerful.
Finally back!
When Labock, who was on guard duty for the team, discovered that Main had not returned for a long time, he put aside his worries and turned to report to Najeshitan on the main seat.
"Boss, Marin is back."
"Finally back."
Najeshitan looked up from the intelligence sent by the Revolutionary Army.
In fact, she had lost interest in reading intelligence from a long time ago, and after hearing Lubbock's report, she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
But Lubbock's next words made her heart rise again.
"There's something unusual. It's not just Main who's back, there are two more people with her."
"Two more people?"
"A man and a woman. The man is slightly less handsome than me, and the woman is cute and dressed gorgeously like a noble lady."
After hearing Lubbock's report, Najeshitan gradually became serious.
"What about Myne?"
"Main looks normal. There's no sign of being manipulated. She didn't make any signals to alert us on her way back. She probably wasn't captured by the Imperial Army."
Lubbock reported truthfully and then asked, "Boss, what should we do?"
"Main wouldn't bring anyone back without permission." Najeshitan thought for a moment and ordered, "Gather all the team members just in case."
→
"yes!"
Upon receiving the order, Lubbock summoned his companions.
…
On the other side, Xiaolin and Mine soon arrived at the secret base.
Walk into the lobby.
Looking up, I saw a one-eyed, white-haired beauty in men's clothing sitting on the main seat. Her mechanical right arm was very eye-catching.
"Boss, I'm back."
Mayin greets her.
Najeshitan nodded and replied, "Thank you for your hard work in purchasing necessities for the team. And who are these two?"
"Boss, listen to me!"
Marin took the initiative to take credit, pointing at Xiaolin and Liuzi and said, "He is an imperial weapon user, and next to him is his human-shaped imperial weapon. I saw that he has potential, so I brought him back!"
"Did you learn this from Leone? You think everyone is talented? And you even brought strangers to the base. I remember telling you that this is not allowed!" Najeshitan gave her a cold look.
"Well……"
Seeing that she was angry, Mayin stuck out her tongue.
However, imperial weapon users are very rare talents.
Najeshitan set her sights on Kobayashi who was standing not far away. She felt that this young man was no ordinary person.
Seeing her interest, Mayin said with a hint of pride, "He was a little reluctant at first, but I tricked him into coming! Am I amazing?"
Now she has stopped acting altogether.
He even put on a wicked smile, as if to avenge the teasing she had received earlier, and goaded Xiao Lin: "Actually, I lied to you when I said I would introduce you to the top of the empire. How about it, didn't you expect that?"
However, Kobayashi was not angry, as if he had expected it.
Najeshitan, who was sitting on the main seat, had her eyes flickering slightly and said in a deep voice, "Main, this young man was deliberately deceived."
“…Intentional?”
Hearing what Najeshitan said, Main opened her eyes wide in disbelief and turned to look at Kobayashi.
"You lied to me?!"
"Ma Yin, you lied to me first."
This sentence undoubtedly confirmed what Najeshitan said, Kobayashi did lie to her.
As if provoking and humiliating, Kobayashi took the initiative to tell Main when he discovered her abnormality.
“From the very beginning.”
"Did you notice it from the beginning?"
"That's right."
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Xiaolin began to reason.
"Main, you are dressed gorgeously and behave arrogantly like a noble lady, but you have no guards around you. This is the first suspicious point.
Although you, Myne, have a lot of money and are always shopping, you don't buy expensive luxury goods like a noble lady. Instead, you spend your money on cheap food and ordinary daily necessities. This is the second suspicious point.
Although you generously treated me to a meal, you were clearly in a hurry to leave. But when I took the initiative to reveal that I was an imperial weapon user, your attitude changed instantly. This is the third suspicious point."
"at last……"
"besides?!"
"Of course. Actually, Myne, you almost let the cat out of the bag a few times. I was so nervous that I was sweating for you. With your IQ, you still want to lie. You should eat more walnuts to replenish your body."
chiffon!
Pure tulle!
After spending a long time with Liu Zi, Xiao Lin's sharp tongue skills have improved a lot, and he dealt a huge blow to Marin as soon as he opened his mouth.
Najeshitan coughed lightly.
"Anyway, thank you for not attacking Myne."
An unprotected sniper is extremely dangerous, not to mention that Main didn't bring any imperial weapon with her this time.
Originally, her partner, Hill, was supposed to go with her, but there happened to be a mission that required Hill's imperial weapon, so Main was left to purchase supplies for the base alone.
I didn't expect to be discovered by the young man who suddenly appeared.
Najeshitan asked curiously, "But you're quite brave. You knew it was a trap, but you still dared to step in. Are you confident in your own abilities?"
"You can say that." Xiaolin did not deny it.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. When I realized you were a gang, I wanted to catch you all in one fell swoop as a token of my loyalty."
"A letter of surrender?"
"I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to get ahead, and you guys are my credit."
"Credit? Ahahahahahahaha!"
As if she had heard something funny, Najeshitan couldn't help but burst into laughter. "If you really can capture us all, it would be a great achievement. You might even be promoted to general."
"Oh? Really?" Kobayashi pretended to be surprised.
"Young man, it seems like you don't know who we are."
"This is my first day in the Imperial Capital. I had no idea who you were. I thought you were ignorant bandits who coveted my imperial weapon, but now it seems... you seem quite famous?"
"Famous? Ah, of course I'm famous!"
Najeshitan said with some pride: "Just as people will decay, the country will one day be destroyed.
Even the imperial capital that had been prosperous for a thousand years was nothing more than a corrupt hell on earth, with evil spirits in human skin running rampant arrogantly and domineeringly!
If God is unable to punish evil, we will disappear in darkness!
We are all professional killers!"
As they were talking, the Night Raid team made a brilliant appearance.
I deleted and modified it, modified and deleted it again, and I felt so overwhelmed.
I wanted to emphasize the protagonist's intelligence, but I found that my own intelligence had already been assimilated by Aqua.
No wonder they all say that the author's upper limit of IQ determines the protagonist's upper limit of IQ. It turns out that the reason I can't write an IQ article is because I'm stupid.
