After a long time, Ren Ke finally calmed down and glanced gloomily at the people around him.
Many people immediately lowered their heads and looked away, as if they hadn't heard anything.
Ren Ke took a deep breath, looked at Lin Wu, and said solemnly: "How can you still laugh?! If you go back this time, it will be all over!"
Lin Wu raised his eyebrows.
Ren Ke said slowly: "A few years ago, you caused serious losses to the Killer City, and the city lord has already had murderous intentions towards you. If the city lord knew that you were involved in the death of the former deputy city lord, and it was you who killed the former deputy city lord... Do you think you will have a good ending?!"
Lin Wu suddenly asked, "I was appointed as the Nine Rakshasa by Fan himself. If I defect, will it have any impact on Fan?"
"nonsense!"
"So the city lord has a grudge against him?"
"Of course! The city lord even punished Fan because of you and made him stay in the Ice Prison for a whole month!"
"So, he still wants me to go back alive?"
Lin Wu asked playfully.
Ren Ke choked and looked uncomfortable because of Lin Wu's words.
She didn't want to answer anything, so she shook her sleeves and sat back, not looking at Lin Wu.
Lin Wu looked around slowly, then lay back down with his hands behind his head.
After a while, she spoke again: "Who is the ninth Rakshasa now? Is this position still vacant?"
Ren Ke closed his eyes and said after a long while, "... empty."
Lin Wu snorted meaningfully and said something shocking: "This position is still vacant, and Fan has a grudge against the city lord again. What's the matter? He still wants to cooperate with me this time, protect me, and then give me this position in exchange for me helping him kill the city lord?"
Among the people around, a few suddenly looked up at Lin Wu.
Ren Ke was stunned for a moment, then turned around and glared at Lin Wu: "Do you know what you are talking about?! Don't talk nonsense, Fan doesn't have such thoughts!"
Lin Wu said "oh" lazily.
Ren Ke wanted to say something, but then he felt it was too late and there was nothing to say.
Finally, she turned over angrily with her back to Lin Wu and said fiercely: "Just wait, when we get to Killer City, I will kill you first, and see what kind of trouble you can cause by then!"
"what ever."
Lin Wu closed his eyes.
Ren Ke was silent for a moment, reached into his pocket and took out a pendant.
On the thin silver chain hung a delicate rabbit made of ruby.
It was the one that Lin Wu took away to threaten her.
Looking at it, Ren Ke's expression was a little gloomy, but more of it was self-deprecating.
This pendant was given to her by Fan not long after she came to live with him.
Fan's trusted secret guards all have similar things, such as cuffs, wrist restraints, tongue studs and ear clips. These inconspicuous things contain poison, which can be used to commit suicide at critical moments to prevent them from falling into the hands of others and becoming sharp blades to stab him.
Hers was different. There was no poison in it. It was just an ordinary, fairly pretty pendant.
When Fan gave her this, he told her that he trusted her and that she was always different, so she willingly did what he asked.
But she didn't know that he was responsible for the death of the former deputy city lord, and she didn't know that he and Lin Wu had such a vested interest in each other.
She was no different from the subordinates around him.
Ren Ke tightened the pendant little by little, and with an expressionless face he let the pain in his palm become more and more obvious, but he never let go.
She slowly closed her eyes.
…
When the plane finally landed, it was already dark.
Ren Ke stood up, took the cotton coat handed to him by his subordinate and put it on, then threw another one to Lin Wu, saying sarcastically, "Put it on. If you get sick from the cold, I can't bear the responsibility."
The cabin door opened and the cold wind from outside rushed in instantly, bringing a bone-chilling chill.
The group went down and saw the vast expanse of snow and darkness outside.
To the right in front was the boundless sea horizon. A huge cruise ship was parked on the icy shore, and its searchlight soon reflected on them.
Looking against the light, you can also see several rows of armed men in black in front of the ship, which brings a strong sense of oppression.
Lin Wu said sarcastically, "I didn't know that I was so powerful that you would send so many people to capture a powerless me."
Ren Ke rolled his eyes: "You are really pretending."
Lin Wu: “Same here.”
"Hurry up and leave!"
Ren Ke didn't want to talk to her anymore.
Lin Wu sneezed because of the cold, put his hands in his pockets and walked over there.
As a group of people approached, those who were guarding reacted and one of them quickly climbed up the deck.
Not long after, a figure appeared in front of the railing at the bow.
When Lin Wu passed by, he looked up and saw the other person clearly. She was a tall and thin young woman. She looked pretty and gentle, but her expression was too cold and restrained, making her look unfriendly and frightening.
Lin Wu recognized her.
She is the fifteenth Rakshasa of Killer City - Ling Xiu.
"Even the Fifteen Rakshasas are here." Lin Wu raised his head slightly and looked at the woman high up on the boat. "Isn't Killer City making a big fuss? This is the polar region. I'm already here. Can I still run away on the way?"
She didn't lower her voice, and the woman above could hear it clearly.
"As the most famous dark voice in Killer City, you are really too modest. I am afraid these people are not enough." The woman spoke in a cold voice, "I came here in person this time on the orders of the city lord. After I return, I will take you to see the city lord immediately."
Ren Ke's pupils shrank slightly, and he took a step forward to block Lin Wu, saying: "She is just a traitor, there is no need to trouble the city lord to deal with her! Since it was the deputy city lord who promoted her, according to the rules, she should be dealt with by the deputy city lord. I believe the deputy city lord will give the city lord a satisfactory explanation!"
Ling Xiu's gaze fell on Ren Ke, and a flash of coldness made Ren Ke's scalp shudder.
Ling Xiu's tone remained unchanged: "The city lord has ordered to see her. Why, the deputy city lord now has objections to the city lord's order?"
Ren Ke clenched his hands and said, "I dare not. The deputy city lord has always been loyal to the city lord, so how could he have any objections? It's just that the city lord is very busy, so I want to share his worries."
Ling Xiu hummed, "Come up."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and disappeared from the sight of the crowd below.
Ren Ke gritted his teeth, tilted his head to look at Lin Wu, and said, "When you meet the city lord, you should know what to say and what not to say, right?"
Lin Wu said slowly: "I really don't know about this."
"Dark voice!" Ren Ke said, "Now you can return to Killer City safely, it's because Fan protected you. He temporarily doesn't care about your betrayal in the past, but you want to repay kindness with hatred?!"
Lin Wu corrected: "He and I have always had only a cooperative relationship. I give him what he wants, and he gives me what I want, so how can it be betrayal? To be honest, I was not brought to Killer City voluntarily. He is from Killer City, and I am lucky that I don't do anything to him."
"But do you think the city lord will believe you if you cut off your relationship with Fan?" Ren Ke said, "If you hadn't lied about the deputy city lord before, the city lord wouldn't have come looking for you now. There are not many people who can protect you from the city lord. Think carefully about what to do."
Lin Wu looked at her: "Really? Then please convey a message to Fan for me."
"What?"
"I don't know when the city lord's people have infiltrated our group. So who should worry more about the city lord?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him suddenly changed! Several ambiguous gazes fell on Lin Wu at the same time.
Ren Ke seemed a little panicked: "How dare you say anything? Are you going to die?"
Lin Wu curled the corner of his mouth, said nothing more, turned around and got on the boat.
Ren Ke glanced at the people around him secretly, and followed.
