"Oops!"
Those hiding on the rooftop knew something was wrong! Of course, the demons couldn't possibly be without any intelligence network. With two near-gods, Li Long and Hong Ping, on the scene, the three near-gods on the demon side initially thought that some guy had been discovered while alone. However, after asking each other, they found out that everyone was fine, which left them somewhat bewildered.
So he secretly followed them all the way, and happened to come across a big battle below. He was both shocked by the appearance of these new masters and secretly pleased by the defeat of Li Long and Hong Ping. However, he dared not get too close for fear of being discovered. At such a distance, he naturally could not hear what the group of people were saying.
"Why haven't they made a move yet? Damn it! Are they going to let these two get away alive?!"
The three near-gods on the demon side all shared the same goal, making them as united as iron. However, the three committee members were secretly sabotaging each other. They were nominally on the same side, but in reality, they were three separate factions!
Once these two are dead, the Sanda faction will instantly split into two major factions, and the two factions will start fighting each other for power. That will be the opportunity for the Demon Apostles! So he couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to kill the two of them!
Since a major battle broke out below, it means that the two sides below are definitely not on the same side. It's good to confirm that those experts are not on the side of the three committee members!
Unfortunately, his sneak attack was easily stopped!
Then he shouted loudly, his voice echoing through the street: "Fellow experts! My target is only Li Long and his companion! Since you all want to protect them, I will not make a move, to give you face! I do not wish to be your enemy, farewell!"
"Quickly! Kill him!"
Li Long gritted his teeth and pointed in the direction the demon apostle had fled!
Gwen was about to give chase when Jiang Ran stopped her.
“We are not your subordinates, nor are we required to follow your orders,” Jiang Ran continued. “As I told you before, we collect seals only for personal purposes, so you can consider us a neutral force.”
The important character Yang Sanqiang in the previous plot was involved with the forces of Yang Zong, one of the three committee chairmen. Therefore, in the later plot, it is very likely that the other two committee chairmen or the Demon Apostles will also be involved.
Jiang Ran didn't want to completely break with the Demon Apostle so soon. This might be the result that Li Long and the others wanted to see, but for Jiang Ran, it was hardly a good thing.
"We will neither kill you directly nor help you deal with the demon apostles, because it would not benefit us."
"Once the demon is born, everyone will die!" Hong Ping's eyes widened, somewhat unwilling. "Isn't that a reason for you to take action?"
"So I need an exact number to tell me exactly how many seals there are."
"Hmph!" Li Long, who was about to reveal this news, shut his mouth at this moment.
Jiang Ran was very unhappy that he let the Demon Apostle go!
"Do you think that by not telling me the exact number of seals, you can make me wary and prevent me from collecting them on a large scale?" Jiang Ran smiled. "But in fact, I have many ways to get this information, including the other two chairmen, and even—the Demon Apostles. And what kind of conditions those people will offer, why don't you guess?"
Li Long sighed helplessly. The people in front of him did indeed possess the power to overturn the situation. If they joined any of the three committees, they would no longer be three committees, but one committee! If they joined the Demon Apostles, the result would be even worse!
No matter what, that's not the outcome Li Long wanted to see.
"The total number of seals... is 50!"
"50 pieces?"
To obtain all the names of the 12 important characters in the story, only 12 seals are needed. 90% of 50 seals is 45 seals. In other words, even if Jiang Ran and the others give the judge 12 seals, he still needs 33 more seals to truly help the demon break the seal!
Wouldn't that solve the problem? There's no conflict between the two sides at all!
However, Jiang Ran felt it wasn't that simple. If that were the case, what was the point of designing this level? It probably wasn't just to have the three chairmen's factions obstruct them. Balancing the number of stamps was definitely the most important factor in passing the level!
"However, since the Demon Apostles' first operation, we have been closely monitoring all the seal storage locations. They have already obtained 20 seals, and this is only the data from yesterday. In other words, the seals lost today have not been included in this count!"
It's not that simple after all! There are a total of 45 seals. The Demon Apostles currently have 20 seals in their hands. Including the 12 seals they need to hand over to the judge, it means that if they want to obtain information on 12 important characters in the story, the Demon Apostles' side needs at least 32 seals!
This calculation alone is definitely not enough, because while they are acting, the demon apostles are also collecting seals, so this number is extremely dangerous!
"It's up to you to decide what you want to do. With your strength, we can't force you."
"My suggestion is, if you don't want the demon to break the seal either, then go and disperse the demon apostles' group first! As long as you kill all the demons, then the seals will be completely under your control, and you can give them as many as you want."
"Oh."
This is a classic case of using someone else to do the dirty work, and they want to use them to deal with the Demon Apostles. But even if they kill those three "near-gods," what then? Can they kill all the underlings? Besides, in Li Long's eyes, those three are the leaders of the Demon Apostles, but in Jiang Ran's eyes, they are not.
There is an even more terrifying person on the demon side.
referee!
Even if all the ghost storytellers used all their cards and teamed up, could they kill the referee? Don't be ridiculous. If the referee could be killed, what would be the point of them playing? So the referee is essentially invincible, even more terrifying than some ethereal demon.
Of course, plot-driven deaths are an exception.
"Alright, alright, I have other things to do, so I won't say any more. I've already explained so much to you two. If you attack me again, I will kill you."
Jiang Ran watched as the two men's hostility level dropped to just over 60% and then stopped. It was probably impossible for it to drop any lower, but it was enough for now.
"Give me the note."
Jiang Ran reached out his hand to Aransta.
When they learn about the problem, they have a mysterious reaction that cannot be faked. Alansta said that Yin Sigou's problem was written on paper, so it can be known at a glance.
"Well, after reading what's on it, you probably won't believe it. To be honest, if it weren't for that feeling, I would have thought this note was fake."
