Chapter 709 Lanqi perfectly integrated
The Kara Empire, Botswana Province, is located on a mountain track less than an hour's drive from the capital, Blildha.
The Brillda Magic Rail Train had been stationary for a while. Smoke was coming out of the first few carriages, and the fourth carriage was particularly severely damaged.
After the brief outbreak of battle, silence returned again.
A big hole was blown in the roof of the car, and the sunlight came in unscrupulously, but it could not penetrate the black fog and could only barely illuminate the old figure standing in the devastated ruins.
The old man was like an aging emperor standing on a black reef. Only the radiant light on his body and the dim light in his eyes swaying in the black mist were particularly clear.
"Can we have a good chat, Miss Unity?"
His voice was complicated, and as he looked at the female killer on the ground, there was a hint of pleading in his words.
In this soundproof barrier, their conversation can no longer be heard by others.
“…”
Unity lay on the cold, hard wooden floor, gritting her teeth.
Even though the body belonged to her, she didn't feel any control over it.
The imperial officer in front of her was looking down at her, and with her night vision she could clearly see that on that harsh face there was a hint of morbid gentleness, as if he was teasing his prey.
She had never seen such a terrifying mental manipulation spell. As long as she was captured by him, he could infer some personal information through dreams.
Although the content of dreams is illusory and uncontrollable, it is hidden deep in memory and the soul, and will always reveal indirect clues.
By repeatedly digging into her dreams, we can eventually dig out some key information that she is unwilling to reveal!
She raised her head stubbornly and glared at the other person fiercely, with blazing flames in her phoenix eyes beneath the mask.
"You are worse than an animal! You are an invader yet you are pretending to be so merciful!!"
Unity uttered each word of anger through gritted teeth, her hoarse voice echoing in the silent carriage.
She had nothing but hostility and hatred towards the imperial people who had spied on her dreams.
"What are you talking about?"
Lanqi covered his head, he felt pain in his brain.
“That’s also true.”
Talia reminded Lanqi in his heart.
"I don't need you to help me detect lies at a time like this!"
Lanqi always felt that Talia was taking the opportunity to scold him! But he didn't want to arrest Talia, who had become increasingly rampant recently.
The most troublesome thing about spy warfare is that you can't figure out who is on which side, and every time you go to a new area, there is a high possibility that your own people will fight each other.
No matter what, we can't keep holding people on the ground like this.
After Lanci ordered Talia to release the mental restraints on the Allied spy Unity.
All of a sudden Unity felt as if control of her body had returned.
She clenched her palms in disbelief, then instinctively distanced herself.
It wasn't that she didn't want to escape from this carriage of the Brillda train.
Instead, a telekinetic magic formed a wall, blocking carriage No. 4, which not only prevented other passengers from opening the door of the compartment, but also prevented her from leaving.
Although she felt that this telekinesis was not strong, probably only at the fifth level, she understood that she had no chance of escaping in front of this old man who was at least at the seventh level. The other party confidently untied her restraints just to let her understand more clearly the difference in strength between them.
"Can we talk? Miss Unity, it will probably take more than ten minutes for the Imperial Army from Breedal to arrive."
Lanqi raised his hands to indicate that Unity could rest assured and be safe.
“…”
Unity did not respond. Her eyes were like an unquenchable flame in the darkness. Even though she was in a miserable state and her body and mind were devastated, she still exuded an inviolable dignity.
It is common sense not to communicate with illusionists or mind manipulators.
These guys are masters at playing with the mind.
At any moment, he could be lying to you.
"Lanqi, do you feel that the friendlier you are to her right now, the more it resembles your usual instinctive habits? In the eyes of the enemy, you are nonchalant, cynical, and often like to act weak. You look like the most oppressive villain."
Talia said in Lanqi's mind, looking like she was watching a show.
“…”
Lanqi choked.
So he is not a human being anyway? "Let's go."
Lanqi hesitated for a long time and finally shook his head.
Their current encounter was so bad that trust could hardly be built with words alone. Only actions could gradually change her mind.
It is not a good idea to continue to tangle with this female killer. I must not harm her. I can only let her go and see her again if the chance arises.
It is highly likely that this Allied spy's usual disguised identity is in the capital, Blierda, and it is very likely that they will meet again in the future.
If in the other party's eyes she was an imperial officer, there was no need for her to report him to the empire, otherwise it would be a suicidal act.
In the short term, she should run as far away as possible, and she would probably have to find a way to change her identity when she goes to the capital, Brildah. This old man's identity is really not very convenient.
"?"
Unity's eyes were confused, and then she immediately became alert.
"What do you mean?"
She asked with a stern look in her eyes.
After snooping into her memory, the other party wanted her to leave, which seemed like he was humiliating her.
It was obvious that as long as he waited for the search team of the Military Committee of the capital Blierda to arrive, he could take her back to the capital Blierda and lock her up in the interrogation cell of the Military Control Commission, and she would never be able to escape.
"Anyway, just go away. I won't kill you."
Lanci sighed softly.
“…”
Unity observed this old-looking imperial officer, unable to figure out what was behind his bizarre turn of events.
"…Are you from the Silver Moon Reform Society? Or are you an extreme anti-aristocrat?"
Unity stared at him tentatively.
Although Unity's intuition showed that the other party was an orthodox imperial citizen, she was very clear about the problems within the empire and the hidden forces and positions that existed.
Even within the Central Executive Committee and Military Committee of the Kremlin Empire, there might be imperial forces that want to cause trouble.
"You should be able to judge whether we are more like friends or enemies."
Lanqi answered her simply and concisely.
Even if they were allies, he couldn't reveal his true colors. Besides, the identity Nigel gave him belonged to the most secretive military intelligence department within the Person Kingdom rather than the Kingdom United Parliament Alliance. He only had Nigel as a contact person, and they were not in the same system as the Kingdom of Canberra in the western hub area. Unity couldn't match his secret codes at all.
Unity hesitated.
Logically speaking.
The other party clearly had the ability to spy on her mind without interrogating her, but he chose to let her go at this time, which shows that he really didn't seem to be playing the long game to catch a big fish.
Because if the other party really wanted to dig out her information, there was no need to let her go at this time.
Maybe I'm really lucky today.
Or maybe it was the spirits of her deceased comrades in heaven protecting her.
This prevented her from dying so early, and she was able to survive.
Unity decided not to dwell on the issue any further and went straight to Landry's body. She wanted to take Landry's belongings and magic cards.
Lanqi suddenly reached out to stop her, and she stopped again.
"Why did you want to kill him?"
Lanci asked.
If Unity had just left, he would not have done anything else, but if she had any ideas about Landry's belongings, it would prove that her killing of Landry might not have been a coincidence but a premeditated plan.
In Lanqi's opinion, Landry is a pretty good imperial man.
He at least needs to understand the problem.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“…”
Unity's eyes were filled with disgust.
She was reluctant to say it at first, but considering that if this imperial psychic really wanted to get to the bottom of it, she wouldn't be able to hide anything, and wasting time with him would be worse for her.
"Why do you think he was chosen by Saint Cremorne Monastery? This man has incredible talent in magic engineering. His family has a history of studying demonic magic for hundreds of years. He can combine the imperial magic engineering with the lost magic engineering of the demon world, which may bring about some innovations."
Unity looked at Landry's body and sneered.
The order she received was to assassinate the border nobleman named Landry Wasington and steal his research materials.
Her work would have gone smoothly until she encountered such an oversized Imperial who hindered her.
You have to know that someone had peeped into her secrets without permission. As a spy for the kingdom, she should have fought to the death with the other party. The current evacuation was an act of humiliation for her.
But after she explained, the other party still did not agree to let her take Landry's relics. It was obvious that the answer just now made the other party have some considerations.
"Don't you think you should do me a favor if I let you go today?"
Lanqi thought about it for a while and seemed to have come up with a solution.
“…”
Unity's attitude was full of reluctance.
"You think that you were discovered by the Empire on the train, which means that there is a traitor around you, which means that your original organization may be in danger at any time and is no longer so reliable. At this time, if you want to turn the situation around on your own, you will definitely need a new friend, and it would be best if it is a third party that has never had any interest in you before."
Lanqi believed that he didn't need to say anything more.
Unity's mental pressure should be greater than he imagined.
“…What are you going to do?”
Unity remained wary of Lanci, her clenched teeth trembling slightly and her jaw stiff.
Although there is a possibility of cooperation with the enemy of her enemy, it does not prevent her from hating the other party.
In other words, she hated the Imperials.
The haze of war enveloped the entire southern land. Now her hometown had been occupied and torn into pieces, and countless comrades had died at the hands of the imperialists.
The blood feud is deep and unforgettable.
In her eyes, no matter which faction of the imperial people they belonged to, she could not accept them. Every minute and every second she spent lurking in the Krewe Empire was torture for her.
But in order to win, she will find a way to do what is good for the kingdom, no matter how much she hates it.
"Do me a favor and take his body away for burial. His identity will be mine for now. A living Landry who can cooperate with you is surely more valuable than a dead Landry, right?"
Lanqi suggested to her.
He remembered that he had heard Landry say that Landry, a border noble, had never been to the capital, Brillda, and had no acquaintances to rely on. So if he just pretended to be him, it should be difficult to be discovered.
Besides, it is not difficult for Lanci to disguise himself as Landry. He only needs simple makeup. Then, it will be easier to disguise himself as Landry by making a [Transfiguration: Human] in the capital Brillda.
"You are really brave. Do you know who is the rector of St. Clement's Monastery?"
Unity understood this man's plan instantly and looked at him in a ridiculous way.
This guy is obviously someone from within the empire, but he actually wants Landry's identity to infiltrate another agency of the empire! "...Yes."
Lanci nodded slightly and began to squat down to pick up the items on Landry's body.
The principal who is stationed at St. Cremorne Monastery all year round, Shui Cangyu Violet, also known as the Sixth Military God, is basically the end of the plan if she finds out.
In the heart of the Cretan Empire, revealing your identity means death, and this formula will hardly change, unless one can accumulate the strength to directly confront the city defenses, similar to the Flower City Incident launched by Perlman. This requires not only the right time and place, but also the right people. Theoretically speaking, if one wants to cause trouble in Brillda, the capital of Cretan, the difficulty is not on the same level as in Pariel, the Flower City, because the level and scale of the two cities are completely two different concepts.
"Besides, Landry is a genius in magic engineering and is also proficient in demonic magic. What level are you at to be able to replace him without being discovered?"
Unity added with some disdain.
She felt that this man was a little too arrogant.
If he turns out to be a fool, not only will he die, but the Allies will also not be able to get Landry's relics.
"It's right to trust me."
Lanqi simply answered this way, with the confidence of a professional.
“…”
Unity inexplicably felt that this was not the first time this guy had taken the blame for someone else's job.
This kind of confidence is not brought by talent alone, but comes with considerable experience.
Seems like a habitual offender!
Putting aside how big of a heart he has, he couldn't even feel the other person's heartbeat fluctuation at all, as if he didn't think there was anything to be afraid of in this high-risk behavior.
There's a sense of quiet madness, powerful and sinister, full of puzzles and completely untrustworthy.
The key problem is that she can't beat this man, and agreeing to him may not necessarily result in a win-win situation.
But if the war continues, both sides will lose, and the Kremer Empire will benefit.
"Remember this, you despicable dream snooper. I hope you can live a few more days in the Abbey of Saint Cremona."
Unity hesitated briefly, but eventually made a decision, picked up Landry's body, and disappeared.
She had no idea that this man could successfully impersonate Landry at St. Clement's Abbey.
But if this guy wanted to commit suicide, there was no need for her to stop him.
The Imperials were destined to be her mortal enemies. Betrayal was only a matter of time. She did not expect this Imperial officer to help her all the time.
The black fog dissipated, and broken furniture, shattered glass, and charred metal were seen everywhere in the carriage, piled together in a disorderly manner, as if it had experienced a doomsday catastrophe. The remaining flames were still dancing in the ruins, emitting wisps of black smoke and the smell of blood that choked people's throats.
Lanqi returned to compartment 404, breathed a sigh of relief, and began to quickly change his clothes.
After a long time.
Maybe ten minutes passed.
When the door of the compartment was opened again by the Imperial officer, only a young man with black hair and blue eyes was left. He raised his hands and signaled to the Imperial officer harmlessly that he was not an extremely dangerous person who attacked the train.
