Chapter 18

Afterwards, the king and the queen walked out, followed by a large group of people.

They stood on another platform, facing the platform where Araki was.

"His Royal Highness was well protected by us, how could he appear in your hands inside the palace? Don't think you can threaten us with a fake.

I advise you to surrender now, and we can still have a good talk. If you insist on being stubborn, we will not be polite."

The king said to the other side.

The man in black laughed in Araki's ear and said, "These are your parents.

How funny! They are a bunch of rubbish, yet someone still says they are good. Are they blind or have a broken brain?

Since they are unwilling to give money, you don't have to be here."

The man in black shouted to the other side, "You said that what I have in my hand is fake, so why don't you take out the real one? If you can't take it out, your words are empty.

Besides, who among the people here hasn't seen the prince?"

After saying these words, the man in black pulled Araki away, not wanting to waste any more words.

"Are you going to kill me?"

Araki asked him.

"Then may I ask, dear prince, what use are you now?"

the man in black asked.

"If you captured and killed me because you hate the queen, then I'm afraid it would be a loss. Because you just saw it, if you killed me, the queen would only be happy.

But if you spare my life, I will work with you inside and outside after returning to the palace, and when the time is right, I can let you kill the queen. What do you think?

I can use my identity as a guarantee. You know that this identity is still unique now."

Araki replied.

"It's really interesting to hear you say this, but how can I trust you? We were enemies before. You have to leave me a token."

The man in black thought for a while and said,

"My friend can join you, and you can communicate with him at any time. How about it? If I don't want to fulfill my promise to you, my friend can supervise and guarantee it."

Araki replied.

"It sounds troublesome. According to our original plan, things would have ended here. But imagine the scene you described, we are willing to make this deal with you."

The man in black let go of him: "You know where your friend is, go meet him now.

We are leaving.

We will find you when we need to see you.

If you need to see us, send a signal."

Araki glanced at him and ran.

He ran to the warehouse where he was before.

There was no one here. Because it was too quiet, he was a little worried that Green had been in trouble. He rushed in and found Green sitting in a chair inside, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Green stood up and said, "It's nice to see you again. They guarded me for a while, and then left on their own."

"Did they give you anything?"

Araki asked Green.

"Here is this thing."

Green handed the thing he got from the men in black to Araki, who nodded and put it away.

"Let's go home now. I'll take you to my place. You should know my identity now, but this thing is useless most of the time."

Araki pulled Green out of the warehouse.

"Can you go back now? Won't they say you're a fake?"

Green asked tentatively.

"You can go back now, and they can also say I'm a fake, but unless they find a new one to replace me, they still need me for the time being.

I'm sure they haven't found a new one yet."

Araki patted Green on the shoulder to comfort him.

Green nodded.

But things are never as expected.

On the way back to their residence with Green, Araki suddenly found that there was a curfew everywhere. He had to find a small uninhabited house and hide in it temporarily, and told Green to wait quietly.

"Now there is a good news and a bad news, I will tell you everything.

The good news is that we don't have to rush tonight. It seems that there is no one in this house. We can stay here for one night and leave the next day.

The bad news is that even if it is tomorrow morning, we probably can't leave this house, because there are people patrolling outside. They are catching those men in black, but we are not spared.

We are in their portraits.

You are poor and innocent . "I'm a fake who pretends to be a noble.

The note outside also said that if you catch the man in black, you will be beheaded, and you can give money if you provide clues about the man in black.

If you catch us, we will be locked up and tried another day, and you can get a sumptuous lunch if you provide clues about us.

We have become popular now."

Araki looked out from the crack of the door, and after reading the information on the wanted order posted outside, he spread his hands to Green and said helplessly.

"Then let's pack up and go to bed early. Maybe someone will kick the door open tomorrow morning."

Green said.

Araki nodded.

At this time, a man suddenly appeared from the corner of the room. He was wearing black clothes and had his face covered. He looked at them in confusion and asked, "Where did you come from?"

"From outside the door."

Green replied.

Araki looked at the other person's clothes, took out the thing that the man in black had given to Green and showed it to him: "Do you recognize this?"

The other person narrowed his eyes and smiled: "So you are a friend. In that case, stay here. I won't tell on you. If

you need anything in this room, you can take it yourself. I will go out to work during the day, and spend some time and money to buy things at night, and then walk back.

Under normal circumstances, we won't disturb you unless you have something special to do at night."

"What's your name?"

Green asked.

"Everyone calls me Grandpa."

The person opposite smiled and answered.

The two nodded and stayed here.

The next morning, very early, Grandpa opened the door and went out, probably to work.

Only Green and Araki were left in the house.

"The search during the day is not as strict as at night. Maybe we can find a chance to dress up and go out to check the situation."

Araki said.

"Everyone knows what you look like. I'll go out."

Green said.

"Okay, be careful."

Araki nodded.

After Green dressed up, he opened the door and left the room.

But he didn't go out for long, and a man came to the door. The man came over and knocked on the door, and whispered: "I have something to say inside. "

Araki could tell at a glance that the man had bad intentions, but since the other party wanted to come in, he must know something, so he opened the door, but he was very vigilant and kept an eye on the other party's actions at all times.

The man quickly closed the door after coming in, as if he was also worried that someone would discover his whereabouts.

He took off his hat after coming in, but he looked like a stranger, and it was hard to imagine who he was worried about discovering him.

"I heard that you can't go back to the palace, this is something we found for you. You can go back directly with this token, and they won't think you are fake. "

The man put the thing on the table and turned to leave.

Araki watched the man walk out doubtfully.

The door was closed again.

Araki frowned and tried to take the token. When he was about to get the token, he suddenly paused because he had a strange and strong feeling that he was being spied on.

He checked the whole house and looked outside the house, but found nothing.

He looked at the token on the table and planned to find something to wrap it up and hide it in his pocket to avoid being discovered and causing trouble. He

found a handkerchief and put the token in his pocket.

Green came back.

He went to open the door.

Green smelled a strange smell from him, frowned, turned around and closed the door, but before he could say anything, he turned around and saw him lying On the ground.

Green was startled by him and quickly locked the door, picked him up from the ground and checked his condition.

When checking his physical condition, something fell out of his pocket. It was a token wrapped in a handkerchief.

The handkerchief opened when it fell out, and the token fell to the ground, leaving an extra mark, and the inside and outside were different colors.

Green suddenly felt dizzy, and quickly wrapped the token with the handkerchief again and put it in a very far place to plug it.

He washed his hands again and put Araki on a ventilated bed.

Araki did not wake up immediately, and Green was a little worried. He took a glass of water and wanted to splash it on Araki's face.

But he was worried about dirtying other things, so he wet the handkerchief with water and wiped Araki's face.

Araki coughed twice and gradually woke up.

"I feel dizzy now, as if someone covered my head with a bag and I couldn't breathe for a long time. What happened just now?"

He asked Green while holding his forehead.

"I don't know. When I came back, I knocked on the door and you opened the door for me. As a result, as soon as I closed the door, you were lying on the ground.

A token fell out of your clothes. I saw that it was something I had never seen before. Just in case, I hid it far away. Why don't you think about what happened when I was away?"

Green poured him a glass of water again and asked him.

He took the glass of water and drank it all. He returned the glass to Green, thought for a while and said, "I'm much better now.

It seems that there is a toxin on the token that can evaporate in the air. As long as you are in contact with it for a long time, you will fall into a coma. If you come back later, I might die. "

"So now I am your savior?"

Green asked jokingly.

"Yes, savior. I will repay you well."

Araki echoed his joke, nodded and smiled.

Green put the empty cup on the bedside table next to him and said to him: "Anyway, it's a good thing for me to see you are still alive."

"I know, I will do what I promised you."

Araki said seriously, looking directly at Green.
