Chapter 93 Who wants to be quiet about admitting mistakes and misunderstandings? ...

Two people walking in the fog? Walking on a gravel path, with dilapidated houses on both sides. In the bright light, the dust floating in the air is clearly visible.

"It is said that this was a small base with tens of thousands of people living here. Later, they were dissatisfied with the kingdom's rule, so the gods punished them and turned this place into ruins. Only the five stone pillars barely survived. Later, people did not dare to disobey the gods, so they built new places to live and activity areas underground, which became the current Base 23."

Zai Zhe walked in front, introducing in a calm tone the origin of the ruins and the location of the real base.

"But the existence of God is still in doubt. After all, the Kingdom is violent and cruel. They can at least whitewash themselves by using the name of God. Maybe they think that this will suppress all kinds of resistance? Maybe."

Zai Zhe turned his head and found that the fog that was following him had disappeared.

The deputy captain shrugged and pointed to the path on the right.

At the end of the road, there was a figure with his back to them, grunting and tying up a strange guard with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, who kept whimpering and struggling, and then stuffing the man into the house next door and that was it.

Chu Xiuyan patted the dust off his hands and walked back happily. He was wearing clothes that he had taken from some guard. His conspicuous black and white hair was hidden in his hat. He seemed to blend perfectly into the surrounding environment.

Zai Zhe's focus is on the other person? His expression is hard to describe based on his actions just now, "You really don't let go of anyone you meet on the road."

In less than ten minutes, the teenager had tied up five patrolling guards on the ground. If this rate continued, there would be no one left on the ground in half an hour.

Chu Xiuyan said seriously: "You don't understand, this is the belief of a master assassin - killing everyone on the road is perfect stealth?! And you are my only defeat!"

Who knows, it didn't even fall down after one blow?

Excluding the possibility that Zai Zhe's head was made of stone, Chu Xiuyan could only suspect that this guy secretly opened a domain for himself to hold on.

...He didn't even add a defensive field to the vice-captain! How lame!

Zai Zhe calmly changed the subject under the boy's disdainful gaze: "We mentioned God earlier, so let's talk about the two major ruling classes in the desert fortress. One is the king and his knights, and the other is the Red Cult. The two are inseparable and have a complicated relationship. The intelligence we collected in the ruins city mentioned the kingdom and the knights more, and there is only one sentence about the Red Cult - they are God's messengers, and can send monsters from the dead."

Chu Xiuyan opened his mouth wide.

Zai Zhe: "Ah, I almost forgot that you don't know yet? The deathland and the monsters in the deathland..."

Chu Xiuyan: "The deathland is deep in the desert. The monsters in the deathland are giants, snakes, and a light bulb monster."

“…”

Zai Zhe pinched his chin and thought for a while, feeling that this description seemed to be correct, and continued happily: "Since you know, I won't explain any more. Anyway, the Red Cult, which possesses special powers, has a very high status in the desert fortress. In addition to its political stance, the Knights of the Kingdom always bring a group of Red Cult members with them when they go out, just like now."

He pointed at the ground under his feet, the smile on his face gradually deepened. "The leader of the fifth regiment of the Knights Templar and a bishop of the Red Church are slightly weaker than Wan Mingxu and I, but this is their home ground. It's hard to say who will win if we really fight... But with you, we have a better chance of defeating them. I'm afraid the kingdom will lose a lot of combat power."

Chu Xiuyan looked confused: "Why do I remember that you came here to test and negotiate?"

Zai Zhe shrugged, "It's a stalemate. The other side's attitude is very strange. We originally planned to use the topic of espionage to test them, but they neither refuted nor admitted it. They just sat at the conference table drinking tea every day, and no matter what we said, they just kept saying "hmmmm" and pretending to be stupid. So later, I accompanied them to drink tea, and Wan Mingxu was standing next to them, mad with a cold face and slamming the table."

"It sounds like the people in the kingdom are stalling for time?."

Chu Xiuyan had just finished speaking when he saw a guard appear from more than ten meters away. He suddenly turned into gray mist and rushed over to knock him unconscious with a stick. Then, he tied him up with a rope and stuffed him into the house. He performed the whole set of movements very skillfully. When he rushed back, he just heard Zai Zhe's words.

"Not doing anything has already shown their attitude. It's obvious that the other party has ill intentions, but they are forced to do so for some reason. They can't tear off the mask of seemingly peacefulness and ignite the conflict between the two sides. Guess what's holding them back?"

Chu Xiuyan: "Let me guess the puzzle."

Zai Zhe: “……?”

"By the way, have you? Have you seen Cui Zhiyong? The man with blue eyes who knows how to play with water." Chu Xiuyan was still thinking about his plan to beat up the water monster with a compassionate heart.

Zaizhe had met Cui Zhiyong several times at the A3 base and should be able to recognize him.

But Zai Zhe's response was unexpected, "Is Cui Zhiyong here? I have explored the entire base, no? He is this person."

Chu Xiuyan opened his eyes wide and looked at Zai Zhe in surprise.

As they stared at each other, the deputy captain finally couldn't help but speak:

"Why don't we find an empty room and sit down to talk? If we just wander around leisurely like this, what if we bump into someone we can't knock out?"

Just as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the path ahead.

The other party? He was wearing light-colored clothes, which didn't fit in with the earthy brown environment.

He looked to be a young man of about 24 or 25 years old, with his sandproof cape falling down naturally. He was holding a test tube in his hand, with the light red liquid shaking slightly with his movements, as if he was thinking about something.

Then, as if noticing the gazes from the side, the young man raised his head slightly and met the gazes of the three people standing not far away. After a brief moment of surprise, he smiled gently, raised his hand to lift the green hair that fell on his cheek to his back, and then changed direction and walked towards the position of Zai Zhe and Chu Xiuyan.

Chu Xiuyan secretly looked at this strange young man, and Zai Zhe's barely audible voice rang in his ears.

"Bo Qu is a researcher who was recruited by both the Red Church and the Knights. His identity and origin are mysterious. He looks easy to get along with, but he is actually very weird. Don't get in touch with him."

Chu Xiuyan agreed with Zai Zhe's vigilance, because the young man opposite named "Bai Qu" looked so weak that even a gust of wind could blow him down.

But, he has squinty eyes.

[It’s squinting eyes——]

Chu Xiuyan was going crazy in his heart, squinting his eyes, researcher, gentle, behind the scenes? All the buffs of the black hand? Full!

Seeing Bai Qu approaching, Zai Zhe took a half step forward, blocking a few young men behind him as if by accident, and said politely and perfunctorily: "Good afternoon, are you here to get some fresh air as well?"

The green-haired young man on the opposite side shook his head in denial. The smile on his face faded slightly, and he became a little distressed. "I wanted to ask someone to help me move the equipment in the house, but for some reason the guards on the ground disappeared, so I thought of asking the people from the church if they could come to help."

At this point, his eyes fell on the figure blocked by Zai Zhe. He paused for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "But it seems that we don't need to take a detour now. Mr. Zai Zhe, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have to borrow the guard behind you first... This base is not big, so if you want to visit, you don't need to send someone to introduce it, right?"

Zai Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly, hearing the other party's hint. Apparently, Bo Qu mistakenly thought that the boy in guard clothes was sent by the knight to monitor them.

While thinking about what reason to use to refuse, his back was suddenly poked. Zai Zhe understood someone's thoughts and the smile on his face became a little stiff. When he was poked for the second time, he had to speak: "Of course, after all, we just came out to get some fresh air, not to wander around the base. What's more, the surface is all broken stones. What's there to see?"

So, under Zai Zhe's gloomy gaze, Chu Xiuyan followed the green-haired young man away with brisk steps.

After a while, Chu Xiuyan stood under a stone pillar that reached the sky and fell into deep thought.

The green-haired young man next to him was fiddling with two potions in his hands, one red and one blue. He still had a smile on his face, but it was different from when he was talking to Zai Zhe. This time, it was obviously a bit fake, like...

"Aren't you in Youdu? Why are you here?"

——As if I didn’t have to pretend anymore in front of my own people.

Chu Xiuyan muttered to himself, why does it feel so strange? Someone will mistake their companions.

The green-haired young man handed over a red potion and said with a smile: "Come, blow up this stone pillar. You came at the right time. I was thinking about how to escape after killing the cardinal. After all, there is a Knight Commander and several guards watching, and I am just an ordinary researcher who is weak and fragile."

When I took the red potion, I accidentally touched the other person's skin. At that moment, the system in my mind exploded.

[Fuck! 93% contamination! This squinty-eyed person is an S-rank alien!]

Chu Xiuyan's hands trembled, and then he remembered the first round bartender who mistook his companions in the underground bar of A3 base a long time ago.

He fell silent.

Maybe there are all kinds of misunderstandings... But this is the second time!

For these high-level aliens, to determine whether a person is their companion, they trust the other person's aura more than their appearance? !

So weird, so weird...

Just as my pupils were shaking, a face suddenly enlarged in my field of vision.

The green-haired stranger approached silently, raised his hand and touched the boy's cheek. His eyes curved behind the glasses, looking particularly gentle, without any abnormality. Even his tone was filled with obvious concern, "What are you thinking about? Could it be Youdu? Are there no suitable people there to win over? Wen Shao, Wu Wang, plus Qiu You who has been ruled out for a long time, if they are all dissatisfied, there is only one person left who has not been contacted yet - Cui Zhiyong, right? Let me think, he seems to be on this stone pillar as well. It seems that my blasting plan may have to be postponed a little. I will take you up to meet him first..."

Before he finished speaking, Bo Qu suddenly felt a strand of white hair sticking out from the edge of his hat. He stopped moving the next second, and his eyes behind the lenses slightly opened.

White hair?

Isn't it black hair?

Although this strange person approached him by using the name of his companion in Youdu, his aura as a high-level person, his age, and his good relationship with the supernatural people in Ruins City... Could it be that he was the "special person with black hair" that the High Priest mentioned?

Did you admit your mistake?

There are so many high-level aliens in the wild now?

Thinking of this, Bai Qu slowly withdrew his hand and stared at the boy in front of him silently. They didn't say anything, but somehow they both understood each other's thoughts.

——You got the wrong person!

--silence.

——What should I do now? I'm embarrassed. Are you embarrassed?

--silence.

——How about this, from now on, you will be a squinty-eyed monster with face blindness, right?

Bo Qu coughed lightly, and then put on a gentle but forced smile, forcing himself to change the subject: "Do you want to blow up the stone pillar first or go upstairs to see Cui Zhiyong first?"

Chu Xiuyan silently handed the red potion back: "How about going upstairs to calm down first?"
