Chapter 25 Shuise: No, you didn’t say it was such a cooperation?
"Have you been so rude? I have to beat you up!" Facing Huo Gu, the codename cadre of the Demon Apostle, Yang Yan rushed over with his baseball bat. Huo Gu didn't care about the opponent's attack at all. The flames on his body instantly formed a blood-red fire shield that blocked Yang Yan's fireball.
His sight seemed to stay on Bai Ye: "Delaying time? The reaction is indeed very fast, but don't forget that the demon apostle is just a lunatic, not a fool. If I am not sure, how can I dare to come to Solomon Academy where the Sun General Administration is stationed to hold a demon game?"
"You are indeed very smart, but it's just a small cleverness. It would be more suitable for you to become a test subject of the blood and flesh pharmacist."
Huo Gu pushed hard, and Yang Yan was instantly forced back by the wave-like wall of fire, like a toy being played with in the palm of his hand. The powerful oppressive feeling of code-named Apostle filled the air again. Huo Gu walked towards Bai Ye step by step, with the hellfire behind him that could ignite everything.
Shuise held the bow tightly in his hand and stood one step in front of Bai Ye. According to his label ability, he was clearly an auxiliary type who needed to be protected. Although he was so nervous that his hand holding the bow was shaking, he still stood in front of Bai Ye.
Looking at the approaching Fire Bone and the increasingly dark spider web barrier that was about to be completely devoured by the Demon God Amy, Bai Ye suddenly spoke and whispered in Shuise's ear: "Do you dare to believe me?"
Shuise was stunned. He always felt that these words were a little familiar. He must have seen this episode.
He quickly shook his head, trying to shake out the image of the Phantom Thief Wonder from his mind, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw Bai Ye's frowning cobalt blue eyes.
Bai Ye seemed very disappointed with Shuise's words. He sighed softly, and a sparkling light flashed in his eyes under the reflection of the fire: "I said, I'm not a good person, but at least I'm not that bad."
Bai Ye tilted his eyes: "...It seems to be true, but you still don't believe me."
Shuise felt like the sky was falling. For a moment, he even forgot about Huo Gu who was getting closer and closer to them. He waved his hands in panic and even forgot about the bow in his hand: "No, no, I just thought of Wonder again. It has nothing to do with you--"
The sadness of not being trusted and the crystal-like broken feeling flashed across Bai Ye's eyes, and Bai Ye instantly smiled: "That's great, Mizuiro-san, in that case——"
Bai Ye whispered: "Then cooperate with me."
His hand directly took the bow from Shuise's hand who was unsuspecting, and then turned the bow and placed it across Shuise's neck.
Water color: “???”
No, you didn’t say it was such a cooperation? !
Huo Gu showed a bewildered look: "What are you doing? Do you have a bad relationship with your classmates? You can't wait for me to take action and want to kill them with my own hands?"
Yang Yan also stood there in a daze. He looked at Huo Gu and subconsciously thought that this demon apostle had used some means to control Bai Ye, but Bai Ye's eyes were still clear. So he looked at Shuise again and found that the other party also had a confused look on his face. Finally, he chose to stare at his baseball bat and watch the situation.
I almost stared myself into a cross-eyed state.
Huo Gu was incredulous: "You don't think you can threaten a demon apostle like me with the lives of your classmates, do you?"
Bai Ye shook his head, and forcibly pulled the atmosphere on the scene, which was affected by Huo Gu's comedian temperament, back to the seriousness of negotiation: "No, no, no, I just think that you are indeed more capable than I thought at first, so I came to ask you if you have any ideas."
Huo Gu raised a non-existent eyebrow: "What idea?"
Bai Ye smiled and said, "Do you dare to bet on a business that is sure to make money?"
Huo Gu paused, perhaps because it was the first time he heard praise from this sharp-tongued student in front of him, he actually paused and snorted, "I'll only give you three seconds."
Mizuiro and Yangyan were stunned: How is this different from being threatened?
"In fact, I had guessed it a long time ago, but when you admitted it just now, I was truly sure that your goal is indeed not the list of the Ten Commandments, but a student with a special tag skill in Solomon Academy."
Bai Ye closed his eyes and told the truth fluently and easily. Shuise seemed to see You Yu when he was reasoning. They had the same high spirits and persuasiveness of language that made people believe it.
The flaming eyeballs in the Fire Bone Skull's eye sockets swayed up and down, obviously because Bai Ye's guess had revealed the hidden truth.
But it doesn't matter. The barrier is about to be contaminated and controlled by Amy, and the entire Solomon Academy will be under their control. Maybe in addition to completing this mission, he can really find clues related to the Ten Commandments.
So Huo Gu stopped hesitating and acted as if he didn't care: "Yeah, so what?"
The boss of the Demon Apostle has indeed recently paid close attention to a Solomon Academy student with a special soul tag skill. It is said that the student possesses a subversive skill that makes him immune to all demonic powers and the effects of soul tag skills, and can also affect other people with this ability.
The leader was very curious about the owner of this soul tag, and specifically told him to bring the student back alive so that she could meet the student in person.
Huo Gu touched his chin and suddenly remembered the fire wave that made him mistakenly believe that Bai Ye was a "healer". Under the fire wave raised by Amy, none of the three students who were targeted for attack died.
Huo Gu's flaming eyes widened. He pointed at Bai Ye, his fingers trembling: "You can't be, you can't be my target?!"
"I'm honored that you finally recognized your mission target."
Bai Ye spread his hands, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Although he did not want his skills to be known to too many people, since Huo Gu himself let it slip that the Demon Apostle's target was him, and that [Reunion] would officially begin in a week, his skills would not be hidden for long, so there was no need to hide them.
"In fact, I have received an invitation from your leader. I know you hate a certain flesh and blood researcher and don't want him to become the deputy leader whose position is still vacant. Coincidentally, I also don't like his research direction. Since the leader cares about my skills, do you want to cooperate?"
Bai Ye extended an olive branch to Huo Gu. His experience of playing Wonder made him mentally strong. His face was full of utmost sincerity, and there was no trace of lies at all.
Huo Gu thought about how much the leader cared about Bai Ye. This was the first time the leader required to see someone alive. The ability to be immune to all label skills was too special. If the leader wanted to train Bai Ye as the next reserve cadre, then it all made sense.
"To show my sincerity to you, I can kill Shuise now. If we kill the A13 auxiliary player on the list, it will be a great achievement for your leader, right? At least it will allow you to suppress that flesh and blood researcher next time."
Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, his cobalt blue eyes full of sincerity for Huo Gu.
Huo Gu's face did not look good when he mentioned his colleague, the flesh and blood researcher who created the demon apostle puppet. It was obvious that the two did not have a good relationship but one was suppressed by the other because of his position or ability.
Where there are conflicts there are gaps, and he simply needs to take advantage of them.
"What you said seems to make sense. Since you do know my mission, there is nothing I can do. Please, use this kid's blood to eulogize our cooperation. I have a feeling that we will indeed become good colleagues."
Huo Gu laughed loudly, and Bai Ye said softly: "Then it's as you and I wish."
Huo Gu looked at the black-haired boy opposite him expectantly, his hands ready to applaud Shuise's death. The black-haired boy had already pressed the bow in his hand, his eyes full of solemnity. With just a slight stroke, the boy named Shuise in front of him would die here.
But Bai Ye didn't care about it. His movements were quick and decisive. He raised the bow. Huo Gu was concentrating on waiting for the blood to splash, but the next second he felt a cool breeze blowing past.
No, this place is clearly surrounded by a sea of fire, where does the breeze come from?
Huo Gu's eyes widened, and before he could turn around, the flashing clover mark appeared in the air, covering Huo Gu's face and taking away his vision for a brief second.
“Who is it?!”
After the clover was burned to ashes by the black and red flames, Huo Gu shouted angrily.
"Wow, it's hidden here. I was wondering how I got lost and ended up here."
You Yu appeared out of nowhere, standing behind Huo Gu, examining the crystal clear gem-like object in his hand in the firelight.
It was a token, a complete token, a flaming finger bone, the blood-red skeleton of a demon.
Yang Yan immediately yelled, "Damn it! He's hiding here, can't he afford to have fun?!"
Shuise also suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Huogu was fearless. It turned out that he carried the token with him.
"Damn it! You, a student, don't study hard, but you lie every day!"
Huo Gu's voice was almost as loud as Yang Yan's, and You Yu could actually hear a hint of grievance in the other's voice.
"I'm sorry, violinist. I have no choice but to resort to this last resort if I want to buy time."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Bai Ye hurriedly handed the bow to Shuise. The latter looked at the bow in his hand in a daze. Just now, the bow was blocking his neck and threatening his life. But a few seconds later, the situation was reversed.
Shuise shook his head and explained again, "Before, I just couldn't support you right away, but now I can. I'm just not used to the fact that I have a new teammate."
Teammates, not companions.
Bai Ye noticed this subtle difference, but he didn't care about it. After all, being able to participate in "The Reunion" with his idol team was something he had never dared to think about when he was in the Law Enforcement Bureau in Wheatfield Town.
"Give me back the token! Damn thief! An accomplice of the liar!"
Huo Gu was so angry that the flames behind him almost burned the high-altitude barrier.
Bai Ye advised with a pure face: "Mr. Huo Gu, I advise you to be careful."
It is impossible for Youyu to really allow him to threaten Shuise's life. Since Youyu is here, then the other member of the detective agency...
Before Bai Ye's thoughts could finish, a bronze fork fell from the sky. A twisted ghost orchid grew, and the lily of the valley's skirt fluttered. It stood on one foot on the huge fork, directly blocking You Yu and Huo Gu.
"I'm sorry, you've got the wrong person. We are detectives, and we're looking for thieves like you!"
The flax-haired girl laughed coolly. When she held the fork in her hand, Huo Gu and his demon were still standing there in a daze, not recovering from the shock: "How... why did Ling Lan appear here?!"
Bai Ye sighed, "Come on, it's already the 23rd century, are mobile phones just decorations? This is a replica of Solomon Academy, and the Sun Enforcement Bureau is not an organization that can't even install an internet cable."
Huo Gu, the demon apostle who lives outdoors every day: "...I always feel like you are implying something about me again, but I have no evidence."
