"First, how could I know the secret of the control of Killer City? I left in a hurry, so who could have told me?"
"Secondly, I didn't have much contact with the city lord after I came back, and you interrupted me. The place where I was confined was also far away from the city lord's residence, and someone was watching me, and you sent Ren Ke there. So how do you think I should meet the city lord?"
"I don't care how you guess, but don't put your guess on me."
The man's eyes became deeper when he heard this, and he looked at Lin Wu without saying anything.
Lin Wu didn't care and was too lazy to argue with him. He said bluntly: "Ren Ke, tell me what else you want to cooperate with me for. Tell me, what do you want me to do, and what kind of benefits do you want to use to impress me to agree."
She turned her gaze back to Fan and looked at him as usual.
The man looked at her carefully, then stood up and took a few steps back to distance himself from her.
Lin Wu raised his eyebrows, "Why, you don't believe me? Are the emotions you mentioned so vulnerable?"
Fan laughed, then nodded calmly. His usually deep voice was extremely gentle at this moment, and he said, "Yes. You came back so quickly, it's hard for me not to wonder if you set a trap for me. After all, you tricked me like this before and almost killed me in the Ice Prison."
Lin Wu simply said, "Okay, take care."
"Kicking people out so quickly?"
"I can't help it. If it's not necessary, I don't want to see you at all."
The warmth on Fan's face gradually faded.
Lin Wu withdrew his gaze, fell to the side, lay down on the sofa, and pretended to rest.
There was silence for a moment, and Fan finally turned around and walked towards the door.
Just as he was about to go out, Lin Wu's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"If you want me to cooperate with you, I have one request - get Ren Ke away. I don't want to see her either."
"I don't want to bother doing my job and have to be on guard against her attacking me out of jealousy. I'm afraid I can't help but attack her."
Fan stopped and looked back at her, "She won't."
Lin Wu said nothing, just snorted coldly and turned his back to the man.
After a while, the sound of a door closing was heard.
Lin Wu then opened his eyes and sat up.
About ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door again.
Lin Wu went to open the door and saw a young man outside. He looked serious and expressionless.
Lin Wu recognized him as one of her personal guards. It seemed that Ren Ke had already notified him.
"Sir, would you like to eat here or in the restaurant downstairs?" the young man asked.
Lin Wu went out and walked to the guest room on the other side, leaving a sentence: "Send the food over here. Also, throw away all the things in my bedroom and replace them with new ones."
She paused for a moment, then turned her head and asked, "Did the people on duty here today see the deputy city lord coming up?"
The young man was slightly stunned and replied, "I saw it."
"They saw it and let people up, but no one reminded me. I don't know when the people who were supposed to be my personal guards here became the deputy city lord's men." Lin Wu laughed.
The young man suddenly felt a little frightened and immediately lowered his head.
Lin Wu turned around and looked at him: "What's your name?"
The young man didn't dare to look directly at him: "My subordinate Qin Sheng."
"Well, it's a good name. It's time to upgrade it." Lin Wu said.
The young man looked up in surprise.
Lin Wu's face was full of frost. He said, "All those on duty today will be executed. Go to the ghost camp and pick 15 new people to take up new duties. Anyone who has any objections can go find the two adults, Mo Lang and Ling Xiu, who are by the side of the city lord. I think they will give these traitors a more suitable death."
After saying that, Lin Wu turned around and walked into a clean guest room.
She called the internal line and asked someone to send over clean clothes. When she came out after changing clothes, there was already hot food in the room.
When I woke up again, it was extremely quiet outside.
Lin Wu stretched and went out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Qin Sheng standing respectfully. He didn't know how long he had been standing there.
"Master Ansheng," Qin Sheng bowed his head, "Master Molang has sent an order for you to temporarily take over the position of the Nine Rakshasa and handle the accumulated affairs. Whether you will be reinstated in the future will be discussed later."
"Where?"
"study."
Lin Wu went upstairs.
The study was also cleaned, but the floor of the huge study was filled with a mountain of documents, memorials, and various books and registers, leaving little space for standing still.
Lin Wu said speechlessly: "When I was away before, no one took care of it?"
Qin Sheng stood at the door and replied, "It was previously handled by Lord Mo Lang. He said that since you are back, he should also know how you have been doing over the past few years. He also hopes that you can report your experience to him after reading it."
Lin Wu was so angry that he laughed: "After I finish reading this, I won't be able to sleep for a week. Is there something wrong with his brain?!"
Qin Sheng bowed his head: "My Lord, please be careful with your words."
"Go find me a few people to read it and pick out the key points for me." Lin Wu said.
Qin Sheng took the order and left.
Lin Wu went in, looked around, and finally came to the desk.
There were several thick rosters on it, all of which were the new members who had joined the Ninth Ghost Camp in the past few years.
In fact, Lin Wu did not ask for the position of Nine Rakshasas casually.
Jiu Luosha controls the defense of Killer City, and therefore also has the map of Killer City and the control center of most of the mechanisms and heavy weapons distribution locations, and even has connections to several external docks.
If Lin Wu closed everything that could be closed when escaping, the difficulty and danger would be greatly reduced.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Nine Rakshasas are the city lord's right-hand men and only the most trustworthy people can be appointed to such positions.
Therefore, the city lord gave it to Fan without hesitation, which made the people in the city think that the city lord valued Fan very much. They never thought that the city lord was using Fan.
Because of this, Ren Ke has always been resentful about the fact that she accepted this position.
Lin Wu searched through the drawers, the secret box and the safe, but did not find the token of the Nine Rakshasa. Without it, she could not mobilize the city defense.
Since Mo Lang was the agent before, the token should be with Mo Lang, and he did not return it.
"It seems that the city lord still doesn't trust me..."
Lin Wu curled his lips and looked through the list of newcomers carefully.
There is also a map of Killer City under the booklet.
She pulled it out and unfolded it. The area she was in was the east of the main city of the huge assassin city. The remote suburbs in the south were where the former eight Rakshasas were stationed, which was very far from where the city lord lived. The Ice Prison was in the southwest wasteland, which was quite close to the former eight Rakshasas' station.
In fact, about twenty miles outside the ice prison is a vast ice wall.
Lin Wu leaned back, wondering what was so special about the Ice Prison.
The Ice Prison is also divided into eighteen levels, each one more dangerous than the last. So far, the highest record of a killer in Killer City being punished is the fifteenth level, which was the record of a senior who could endure being controlled for six hours. She checked and found that this person was punished by the city lord himself.
Fan was also sent there by the city lord. He said he almost died, so he should have been in the last few floors.
But what kind of punishments would be offered on the later levels? Lin Wu only knew what was offered on the first thirteen levels, but not on the rest.
Suddenly, Lin Wu had an idea.
Did the city lord really want to kill Fan before Fan went to the Ice Prison, or after Fan went to the Ice Prison? ? Could the Ice Prison be related to the secret of the city lord's weakness?
Could it be that the city lord wanted to kill Fan because Fan found something he shouldn't have found? If so, the city lord's secret is in the last few floors, or to be more precise - the eighteenth floor of the Ice Prison? ?
